Chapter IX : Two Worlds
XXooOooOXoooXOooXXXXo
The first time I entered the Gummi Ship, the first thing I wanted to do was to jump around.
Of course, the chipmunks wouldn't let me. They were very obsessive about keeping the ship clean that they won't let me touch anything at all… What, it's not like I'm obsessed with eating gummi things like Tidus…
Well, now I know why the ship runs on smiles, like Donald told me—it's impossible not to feel happy inside that ship. At least, for me… everything just looked cool there.
They told me to pick our next destination. I actually just pointed to the world that catches my eye first: The very colorful Wonderland.
I never liked that place, though. As far as I can remember, I watched that movie when I was a kid and I never liked the characters there. The Queen's ugly. The walking cards are creepy. That Cheshire cat's creepier. The oversized gardens are very easy to get lost in (I had to give the talking flowers a ton of potions to grow taller just so I can have a good view…) and finally… we went through all that trouble collecting the stupid evidence… just to find out that Alice would be kidnapped anyways.
Ah well. I should have seen that coming a looong time ago. At least Alice is a lot cuter here than she is in real life…
I mean… my real life. Ah heck… I don't know which world I'm living in now.
So… here we go again on the gummi ship. Not touching anything. Boy, these chipmunks sure are touchy…
They let me pick the next destination again. I picked that green thing. They told me it was the Deep Jungle.
What? Just one jungle? And it's a world already? Well… that's pretty weird if you're actually seeing it.
I know, I know… I should have argued with Donald so that we'd both goof and crash the ship… but I never liked crashing. I had enough injuries skateboarding, thank you.
But… Donald goofed anyway and crashed the ship.
Gah. And Damn.
Oh well. We got into that tree house, rescued the gorilla from the tiger, met Tarzan, slid down a bunch of trees, met Jane and that Clayton guy, fought the tiger again, went to the boss gorilla, hopped on hippos, swung on vines, fought the tiger again (that thing doesn't know when to give up!!)… saw that Clayton got corrupted by the Heartless… fought him and a giant lizard… got thrown by a gorilla… and finally, climbed a bunch of rocks behind a waterfall, until we reached the Keyhole.
Wow. I never thought that the Keyhole would be so pretty.
And how cool it would feel to seal it.
Aaaaah.
And, hey, I got a gummi block, a really cool key chain, and the gorilla's trust for sealing the Keyhole.
(At least, the gorillas here don't smell so bad.)

I was amusing myself with the key chain, the "Jungle King", as I detached and re-attached it on the Keyblade. It was fun seeing the Keyblade morph, you know…
The chipmunks were making a lot of noise as they made sure that everything in the Gummi Ship was in perfect order. "Hey, Sora!" Donald suddenly yelled.
I looked up curiously at him and Goofy. "What? Do you want me to pick out the next world?"
"Uh… no. Ya see, for now, we can't recognize any other world… we just wanna warn ya, the next world's gonna be a purty tough one! Ahyuck" Goofy explained.
"Why? What's up next?" I asked.
The chipmunks pressed some buttons, and a screen appeared, showing a beige-ish building floating on a swirling cloud.
My eyes widened. I forgot we had to go there…
"The Coloseum!"
… and fight Dad.

Author's notes: WAAAAH! I'm so sorry sorry sorry! o' To the few readers out there, for not updating this as often as I should have. .
I lost my copy of the KH script… so I had to use a lot of AU abilities to come up with this…
Sorry for it for being short. I'm writing the next chapter fast as I can. Huhuhu….
