Comment: This is just something I came up with as a sample when applying to join a RP, guess it could be called a drabble. Its a little OOC as it was made to fit the RP's storyline. Constructive criticism is welcome… just as soon as I figure out how to get reviews up.
Goofy slowly walked down the corridor, nearing the small statue on the right hand side of the wall before whirling about face, continuing his slow walk. He peered around the hallway as he passed a red door, nestled in between two tiny alcoves holding two books with a suit of armor directly across before continuing forward on his watch, shield held close to his chest. This was his first day back on guard duty since his adventures off world to find King Mickey. He had to be extra careful on guard now, after all, who knew what could have happened while he was gone? He didn't, so he would be extra soldiery. The King was counting on him!
He continued his walk to the end of the corridor and after a quick about face, started down the hall again. He grimaced as his mind turned back to the journey they had recently returned from. It had been a long one, constant battles and strange new worlds; it had all been so confusing especially when faced with so many heartless. He did make some new friend though and helped out people on the way. As long as his friends were near, nothing could stop them, although they garwsh did well try. Flashes of the various heartless he had fought passed through his mind, distracting him from his task and causing him to unconsciously tighten his grip on his shield.
"Goofy?"
What the…? Startled, Goofy opened his eyes to see three shadows on the floor. The tall one had to be his but the other ones… "Heartless!" He whirled about, centering his shield before charging forward. He crashed into something and fell to the floor, dropping his shield. He felt some things fall onto him and grabbing onto one, starting flailing about. "Goofy!"
"Huh?" He paused and opened his eyes, seeing King Mickey and Donald standing over him, exasperated looks on their face. "Huh? King Mickey? Donald?" Where did all the heartless go? He looked around from where he sat on the floor, various pieces of armor strewn around him and in his hand, a gauntlet was grasped. Oops.
Stepping forward, Donald reached out and took the gauntlet from his hand. "That was no heartless Goofy, that was our shadows!"
"Uh, sorry King Mickey, sorry Donald." Goofy looked down at the ground as he felt his cheeks redden, embarrassed. He had gotten distracted and in front of Donald and King Mickey. His shoulders sagged forward.
"That's alright Goofy. Just try to leave the armor alone, okay? It can't fight back after all." Goofy didn't look up as he heard the two's feet disappeared from view and the sound of the door opening could be heard. "Oh and Goofy? Keep up the good work."
"Yeah." Donald chimed in before shutting the door behind him.
Goofy shot to his guard position and saluted a smile on his face. "Yes sir!" He remained like that for a few seconds before moving to stand in at the side of the door, just beside the alcove. He leaned backwards against the wall, rested his shield on the ground and closed his eyes. There was nothing to worry about anymore; after all, they had saved the world… no worlds! That's gotta count for something. Feeling that everything was right, he resumed his guarding duties… by falling asleep.
