This is just proof that I'm a lazy arse who can't be bothered to get off her bum and update her fanfic, leaving the hypothetical fans in suspense (I do appreciate the few fans that I have though XD) for months on end. Okay, it hasn't been that long…but hey, I am back with some new ideas. And hopefully this chapter will actually have some frickin' length. But sadly that is something I am unable to promise will happen. And I've been neglecting the need to put disclaimers on my fic so…

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts in its infinite glory. I do, however, admit to having tried (and sadly failed) catching Riku with an oversized butterfly net.

Alright. One last thing before I start. Many thankies to my friends who have encouraged me by bribing me with bananas and sugar. You may well appear at some point in this fic, but who knows when? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Anyway…On with the fic!

Chapter 3

"Why did I let you come with me again?" Sora asked, sounding annoyed.

"Don't you remember? I saw your ship and, in exchange for not making it spontaneously combust, by using this random stick of TNT that I found, you would let me go along with you to these 'other worlds'. Sleet sounded almost like she was laughing at him. She saw the look that he was giving her. "And yes, I'll get rid of my TNT on the next world we visit.

"Good."

There was silence on the gummi ship for a few moments. An idea suddenly occurred to Sleet. "I was meaning to ask before, but I forgot. Why exactly do you travel to other worlds?"

"Um…" More silence, save the engines whirring in the background. Why does the subject always have to shift to something about the keyblade?

"Well?" she asked, beginning to get impatient.

Sora looked out of the window, hoping to find some sort of excuse in the infinite black void of space. And this time, he did find an excuse, much to his relief. "We're here!"

Below there was a world. It seemed vaguely spherical, although it looked more like someone had squeezed a ball until it had lost half of the air that was inside it. Most of the squashed world had forests on it apart from a small part, which was a beach. "We'll land there," said Sora, indicating the beach.

Slowly the gummi ship went closer. Sleet was looking at the buttons on the dashboard; now that Sora had his back turned. He was way too protective of the buttons in her opinion. There was a big red button. It wouldn't hurt to press it, would it?

'Course not. What's the worst that could happen?

She pressed the button. The airlock opened, sucking Sora out of the ship. He was falling towards the beach, Sleet right behind him. The gummi ship was going in a different direction—towards the sea. In a less than elegant manner, Sora landed face-first on the wet, cold sand. Sleet managed landing on her feet, making it look easy. Then again, she was the one that had accidentally opened the airlock...

A sound distracted them for a moment. It sounded like a giant bug…a dragonfly perhaps. The sound got closer and closer until…

"What the hell?" Sleet exclaimed in disbelief. That was no bug. It was a weird girl, dressed in the pelt of some unidentifiable creature. Sleet's exclamation caught her attention and she began to walk towards them.

"Who are you?" she asked in a floaty voice. Now that she was close, they were able to see that she had black hair, just a little past her shoulder and large green eyes.

What have I gotten myself into, coming here? Sora thought to himself.

--END OF CHAPTER 3--

Things to come…

At last another planet—but only this one weirdo in sight. Will Sleet and Sora find normal inhabitants of this planet? Will Sora be able to find the keyhole without alerting Sleet to its existence? Where is Riku? Why did I have too much sugar today? All of this might well be revealed in the next chapter…

Alright, after a while of putting it off, here is my masterpiece. What? Don't stare at me like I'm mad…I know it's true, but still…I've decided to answer some questions that I've been asking myself, and some people might be wondering about.

Q & A

Q: Why does this seem to lead on from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, but still have nothing to do with Kingdom Hearts 2?

A: Well…I just felt like it, that's why XD

Q: Why aren't there any unknowns?

A: Because I'm lazy. They might appear later on though…It just depends on how I feel.

Q: What's going to happen at the end (My little sister, the spawn of Satan asked this)?

A: How can you ask me that! You'll just have to keep reading to find out :P
