--------------------------Chapter 2: Home Again, and New Allies?---------------------------

"Sora, where will we go?" Riku asked him.

Sora hugged him. "I don't care. Traverse Town, Disney Castle, anywhere if you'll come with me."

Riku smiled at his brown-haired friend. "Let's go see Mickey."

Sora laughed. "Lets go home." He said, dragging Riku to the Gummi Ship Sora kept hidden in the cove.

---------------------------------------------Disney Castle--------------------------------------------

Sora parked the Gummi Ship and waved to Chip and Dale. "I'm back!"

"Welcome home, Your Highness." the two chorused.

"I've brought a friend!"

Riku stepped out of the ship and the two immediately started chattering. "King Mickey will be so surprised to see you!" Chip called.

"He'd been hoping you'd visit us!" Dale added.

"He'd been hoping for a very long time!" Chip remarked.

Riku laughed. "They're certainly more accepting than the islanders were."

Sora smiled. "They ARE Mickey's subjects after all, just like Donald and Goofy."

"I remember those boneheads..." Riku laughed.

"Yeah. They're still around you know."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. We'll probably see them eventually."

Riku sweatdropped. "Why do I get the feeling they won't be overly enthusiastic at my coming with you?"

Sora gave Riku a look. "Why wouldn't they be? The past is the past, Riku."

"Perhaps. But some scars never fade."

"Must you be such a pessimist?"

"Must you be such an optimist? I'm a realist, Sora, that's who I am."

"No, that's who you think you've become."

The two glared at each other for a moment, before Riku burst out laughing. "You still can't glare at all, Sora." Riku said.

"CAN TOO!"

"Can not. You don't glare any better now than you did before. You still look like a little kid, it's comical."

"I do NOT look like a little kid!"

"Yes you do."

"DO NOT!"

"And you act like one, too."

"I DO NOT!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sora and Riku walked into the elaborately decorated throne room. The two already insider jumped from the seats and kneeled immediately. Sora smiled. "How many times mush I tell you that you don't have to do that?" Sora asked.

The girl looked up. "Forgive us, Your Highness." She had long back hair, and even partially in buns it nearly reached the floor when she stood. She wasn't very tall, about five feet, and she wore flowing robes in white and yellow, embroidered with a large Yin-Yang on the front.

The boy stood as well. "Can't help it. Old habits, Y'know Sora?" He had short, spiky blond hair, and wore a white jacket over black clothes, and there was a charm around his neck. (((AN: You know it, It's the one and only Nameless Blonde Haired Kid form KH2. For this fic, I'M GONNA NAME HIM!)))

Sora smiled. "Riku, I'd like you to meet my advisors. Meilin and Zack. Guys, this is my old friend, Riku."

Meilin looked the taller boy up and down. "This is Riku hm? Nice to meet 'cha." She said, holding out her hand.

"You to." Riku said, shaking her hand, then Zacks.

Mickey walked into the room somberly. He looked at Sora, then Meilin, then Zack and Riku. He didn't seemed surprised to see Riku there at all. He only spoke one word… One word to fill them all with dread. "Heartless."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meilin: That ends that chapter. The plot will become crystal clear next time, on Royal Pains Chapter Three: The Plot Thickens.

Zack: She won't update until she gets another review!
