Kingdom Hearts: Warriors of Light
Wonderland- Chapter 15
Everyone arrived back at Jane's tent. Kita was the first to run into the extra room and make sure Ti-Day was being nice to Ni-Ne. Nothing could prepare her for the sight she would encounter. Ti-Day was now laying next to Ni-Ne in her bed and they were both asleep, cuddling in each others arms. Kita tripped and landed hard on the floor. "TI-DAY! WHAT THE HE-," Before Kita could finish her sentence, Riku put his hand around Kita's mouth to prevent her from saying anything else.
"Watch your mouth," he said. "Don't make me get the soap."
Kita pried Riku off and continued her pursuit. "Ti-Day! What are you thinking!" she shouted. Ti-Day was covering his ears and looking up at Kita like she was insane.
"It's ok Kita, calm down," he said. Kita was pacing around freaking out about nothing. "I am older than you, I can make my own decisions."
"That doesn't mean they're smart ones!" Kita said approaching him with her arms out stretched ready to strangle him.
Riku again came after Kita. He grabbed her arms and brought them back behind her so she was powerless to use them. "Ok, leave him alone. No need to be jealous he chose Ni-Ne over you," Riku said pulling Kita away. However he didn't have to pull for long as in a split second Kita's rage was redirected.
"Jealous?" Kita said with a death glare in her eye. "You think I'm jealous of Ti-Day! You couldn't be more wrong if you tried!" Riku was backing away, but he didn't let go of Kita's arms for fear she would start using them against him.
"It's ok Kita," Ti-Day said, now standing in front of her looking at her seriously. "You don't have to stress about me." Ti-Day looked sort of dreamy the way he was looking at Kita. It was a look only Kita had ever known. So many times when they were littler, he had given her comfort in his words. The memories and feelings of always having Ti-Day by her side reminded Kita of the part of her past she actually liked. He was like an older brother to her, and maybe it was time to let him be the older one who could make his own choices.
Kita stopped fighting Riku's grip and limply hung her head. Ti-Day just smiled as though he were telepathically telling Kita 'Thank you.'
"How did you do that?" Riku said, his jaw dropping.
"Shh, It's magic Riku," Ti-Day whispered to Riku. He winked and walked away. Riku just stood there scratching his head feeling a little left out of the loop.
"We need to get going," Donald said staring up at the group. "There are still worlds waiting for us, so stop playing around and lets go! Hercules did you get those ships?"
"Yeah, but can I just say one thing," Hercules said. "Why'd you walk off like that? I was doing you a favor and you just leave!" Donald however wasn't listening. Nor was anyone else. Donald proceeded to check Ni-Ne and make sure she was good to go. "Did that potion world well?"
Ni-Ne was now out of bed and brushing her hair. "You gave me potion?" Ni-Ne asked, not recalling the event.
"I make potion for healing," Donald said sticking out his chest with pride. "So are you well?"
"Yeah, I guess so," Ni-Ne said smiling. "Thanks Donald," she said bending down to give him a hug. Before she left she could have sworn she saw him blush. Donald laughed a shy little laugh watching Ni-Ne walk away. Ti-Day mysteriously appeared above him, his toe tapping and arms crossed.
"Excuse me," he said. "She's mine." Donald looked scared and chose to run away as fast as he could.
Before long the group was ready to go. Jane and Tarzan stood outside the ships waving their visitors good-bye. Kita was more than ready to get out of the hot buggy jungle even if it meant another lovely ride with Riku and Ti-Day in store. Pom-Pom called shotgun and sat next to Kita as though he were going to help fly the ship. Ni-Ne and Ti-Day were exceptionally close together, hiding behind a box so they could kiss the whole trip. Riku, feeling left out moved to the front with Kita and Pom-Pom.
Kita was focused on driving. "So, when you gonna get yourself a boyfriend?" Riku asked.
"That's none of your business," Kita said.
"You've gotta have the hots for that Herc guy," Riku said.
"How bout no,' Kita said starting to fume.
"Well than go out with me?" Riku said.
"Not a chance," Kita said clearly.
"Come on," Riku said. "It's ridiculous how you're always playing Miss Independent. You have to have feelings? You're like a rock…"
"It's a long story," Kita explained. "One I don't particularly want to share with you."
"I don't care what your story is," Riku said. "I just think your missing out on life living with that wall built around you."
"I said, it's none of your business!" Kita shouted.
"That doesn't matter! What kind of person lives there whole life built on the problems they have?" Riku asked starting to fight back.
"JUST SHUT UP!" Kita screamed. The ship shook a bit as she was getting distracted fighting with Riku.
"No, I'm not letting this go!" Riku said, now standing, though in a Gummi Ship there was little room. "I know you hate my guts, but you need help!"
"SHUT UP!" Kita said now trying to use one hand to swat at Riku and using the other to steer.
Riku was dodging Kita's arms. He was well aware she wasn't paying attention to the driving anymore. "Um, you gonna drive the ship or what!"
"Oh I will," Kita said switching the autopilot on. "When I'm done murdering YOU!" Kita got up and started wrestling Riku to the ground. Ni-Ne and Ti-Day's intimate moment was cut short when Kita bumped into them rolling around on the ground.
"Yeah Kita!" Ti-Day joked, egging her on. Kita was far too concentrated on killing Riku to say anything about Ti-Day's remark. Ni-Ne was holding onto Ti-Day hoping he would protect her from the animals on the floor. But something caught her eye and she looked up and out the front window.
"Umm, Kita?" Ni-Ne said quietly. Kita didn't hear as she threw a punch into Riku's face. "Kita?" Ni-Ne said again. "KITA!" Ni-Ne shouted.
"What!" she said holding Riku down by the neck.
Ni-Ne jumped and gulped. "I just want to say that there is a weird intergalactic storm and we're heading right for it!" Ni-Ne said pointing ahead.
Kita looked up, still intent on holding Riku down who was turning blue because he couldn't breathe. "What the-. HOLY SHI-," Riku managed to swing his arm up and cover Kita's mouth.
"Watch the mouth," Riku struggled to say under the choking hand on his neck. Kita leapt for the controls as Pom-Pom bounced nervously next to her.
"KITA! We're heading right into a storm!" Donald shouted over the intercom.
"Thanks, I can see that!" Kita said frantically searching for something to get them in reverse. But it was too late. A strange orange lightening bolt hit the ship and caused its engine to die. "Oh crap…" Kita said feeling the ship fall beneath her feet. Everyone flew up into the ceiling of the ship into a free fall through space. And then everything went black…
Ni-Ne woke up and found herself in a hallway of doors... She was alone and called out for her friends. Then she found Pom-Pom under her dress. She looked down at her herself to find she was now wearing a poofy pink dress with a white apron over top and little black shoes. She even noticed a big red ribbon up in her hair. She got up off the floor and headed to one of the doors. She opened it to find another, smaller door behind it. So she opened it. Then there appeared another even smaller door behind that one. She started to look annoyed as she pulled the third door open. Finally a room was revealed. She had to craw through to fit. She found herself in a strange little room with a very small door across the way from her. She stared at Pom-Pom looking confused. Then she heard something. There was a little white rabbit coming in from behind her. She looked down between her legs to see that it wasn't really a rabbit, but Donald.
"I'm late, I'm late!" Donald said waddling around. He was running to the little door on the other side of the room.
"Donald?" Ni-Ne said trying to get his attention.
"No time to chat! Must go. I'm late!" Donald said carrying on his way. Ni-Ne followed him and watched him go through the tiny little door. Ni-Ne bent down and twisted the doorknob on the little door. The doorknob cried and said, "What in the world are you doing little girl? Don't you see that you're too big for me!" Ni-Ne looked confused. Did the doorknob just speak?
"Umm, Did you just say something?" Ni-Ne asked the doorknob.
"I said you're too big to go through this door," the doorknob repeated himself.
"But that was one of my friends who just went through," Ni-Ne said. "I have to catch up to him."
"Well if you were smaller, then you could," the doorknob said. Then he yawned and closed his eyes. "I'm sleepy. Can't a doorknob get any sleep around here?"
"How do I get to be small?" Ni-Ne asked.
"Check the table," the doorknob said. And only seconds later he was snoring. Ni-Ne turned to see two bottles on the table behind her. She picked one up that said. "Drink me and I'll make you big."
"That won't help," Ni-Ne said setting it down. She picked up the other bottle and read 'Drink me and I'll make you small.' Ni-Ne drank from the second bottle. Pom-Pom did the same. She stared to feel a little strange and just as she set the bottle back on the table, she rapidly shrank. Suddenly the bottle was taller than her. "Oh my," she said looking around at the now gigantic room around her. She jumped off the table and back to the ground where she was now actually smaller than the doorknob itself. "Mr. Doorknob?" Ni-Ne asked.
The doorknob continued to snore. "Mr. Doorknob!" Ni-Ne yelled a little louder. She was getting impatient with the doorknob who would not wake. So she pulled out her key blade and aimed at the door. "THUNDER!" she yelled. Bolts of lighting came raining down on the doorknob and he woke with a jolt.
"AHHH!" he yelled. "Watch it, I'm made of metal you know! That hurt!"
"Well next time wake up when I'm talking to you and I won't have to do that," Ni-Ne said. "Now open up."
"You didn't say the magic word," the doorknob said.
"Oh didn't I?" Ni-Ne said. "Perhaps you'd like me to say it again? THUN-,"
"AH! NO!" Just go through please," the doorknob said opening the door at once.
"Thank you," Ni-Ne said walking through without looking at the doorknob. She walked through into a maze of hedges lined with rose bushes. Most of the roses were white, but some seemed to have been painted red. Up ahead she saw someone with a bucket of paint who was in fact painting the roses red.
"Oh I'm painting the roses red. Yes painting the roses red. I've got to make her happy so she won't chop off my head," sang a familiar voice. Ni-Ne slowly approached him.
"Goofy?" Ni-Ne asked.
"Oh, good morning miss!" Goofy said. He didn't quite look himself since he was now a walking, talking playing card. "I'm painting the roses red. Wanna help?"
"Sure I guess… but why are you doing this?" Ni-Ne asked taking hold of a brush.
"For the Queen of course," Goofy said. "The Queen of Hearts wants red roses."
"What's this about she'll chop off your head?" Ni-Ne asked nervously as she painted a rose.
"Oh, the Queen has a temper and if you make her mad, she'll chop off your head!" Goofy explained. "So I'm out here doing my job so she'll be happy."
"That's terrible. What kind of person would do that?" Ni-Ne asked. But before Goofy could answer, Donald re-entered the scene.
"Ahhh! I'm late! Must hurry, mustn't make the Queen wait!" Donald shouted waddling as fast as his little rabbit, duck legs would carry him.
"Good morning Donald," Goofy chuckled. "Better hurry so the Queen won't chop off your head!"
"Goofy, would it be alright if I when with Donald?" Ni-Ne asked.
"I spose," Goofy said. "But be careful, the Queen has quite the temper."
"Don't worry," Ni-Ne said as she ran off after Donald, Pom-Pom bouncing happily behind her. She didn't get far when she ran into something invisible.
"Oops!" said another familiar voice. Suddenly Ti-Day appeared in front of Ni-Ne, only he was now a pink and purple cat. "Sorry Miss."
"Ti-Day!" Ni-Ne shouted running up to him and wrapping her arms around him. "I missed you! I was lost and you guys are here, I'm so happy to see you! Now we can get out of here," Ni-Ne cried. Ti-Day looked at her like she was insane.
"How do you know my name?" Ti-Day asked looking confused. "Have we met before?"
"Ti-Day, it's me, Ni-Ne!" she reasoned. "Your girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend?" Ti-Day asked. "I don't have a girlfriend! Your just some crazy little girl!" Ti-Day pulled Ni-Ne off of him, hissed at her and backed away cautiously. Ni-Ne stared at him with tears in her eyes. He didn't know her? Ti-Day looked disturbed. He disappeared on the spot leaving Ni-Ne and Pom-Pom alone.
"Pom-Pom, I don't think anyone remembers us," Ni-Ne said hopelessly. "Not even… Ti-Day…" Ni-Ne fell to the ground and covered her face. Tears flooded out of her eyes. Pom-Pom cuddled up next to her trying to make her feel better. She wrapped her arms around the puffball and held him close. Ni-Ne found it in herself to get up and move on. They were getting nowhere in this strange world by giving up. Ni-Ne fixed her dress, dried her tears and got up looking at Pom-Pom. "We have to find the others. Someone has to remember us."
Ni-Ne and Pom-Pom carried on through the maze in the direction they had last seen Donald. It wasn't long before they heard another familiar voice. "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!"
"Oh my," Ni-Ne said. "If that's who I think it is, we are in big trouble." The pair ran through the maze following the voice. Soon they came to an opening that lead into a courtyard. Making sure to hide well, Ni-Ne looked out around one of the hedges at those gathered in the courtyard. They saw who was yelling. It was Kita, but now she was dressed as a Queen. The Queen of Hearts. She wore a red and black gown with golden hearts printed all over it. A gold and red crown sat on her head. Her hair was down, but now wavy. She held a mallet in her hand, which must have made her the judge of the court. Next to her was Simba who looked like a King. He had a cape draped down his back and a golden crown matching Kita's on top of his mane. He looked happy despite the fact that Kita was ordering people's heads to be cut off.
"Please your majesty!" The six of hearts wined before the court. "I beg for mercy!"
"You heard what I said!" Kita yelled through gritted teeth. "OFF-WITH-YOUR-HEAD!" And without further confrontation the card was dragged away. "Let that be a lesson to the rest of you for trying to paint my roses pink!"
Donald ran across the courtyard to join the Queen's side. He handed her a scroll. "My Queen, a note from the West Tower. They said they saw a young girl with a floating cloud headed this way." Ni-Ne continued to watch the horrible scene.
"Kita. Simba. What's happened to you?" Ni-Ne said softly. "Pom-Pom, we're being hunted, we have to get out of here." They started to walk backwards slowly, but didn't get far before bumping into someone.
"Gotcha!" someone yelled. Ni-Ne spun around to find herself face to face with Hercules who was now a card guard just like Goofy.
"Hercules?" Ni-Ne asked frightened, knowing he too probably didn't recognize her. Pom-Pom floated away before Hercules could grab him. He went right for Kita and Simba. Ni-Ne was forcefully dragged by Hercules into the courtyard.
"Is this who you're talking about?" Hercules said laughing. He seemed awful proud of himself for catching Ni-Ne.
"HA! So you thought you could just waltz through my kingdom without my permission?" Kita asked Ni-Ne who was struggling to get away from Hercules. "Guards! OFF WITH HER HEAD!"
"NOO!" Ni-Ne screamed. "Kita, you can't! I'm your friend, Ni-Ne Nite! Remember? Please, let me go!"
"How dare you call me by my first name!" Kita shouted. "Not even the King is allowed to do that! You will address me as 'your majesty' for the remaining moments of your life!"
"Kita! Stop it! Tell them to let me go!" Ni-Ne begged seeing a card guard bringing a hug machete and a basket her way. "Hercules, snap out of it! KITA! WAKE UP!" Ni-Ne screamed as Hercules started to hold her down. At that moment Pom-Pom flew in and carried the machete away. He flew around Hercules head so fast, Hercules was forced to let go of Ni-Ne and try to swat him away. Ni-Ne started to run. "Come on Pom-Pom, lets get out of here!" She ran back towards the maze, but a group of card guards got in the way. She tried to stop, but they were too close. Just as they went to grab her, something appeared in front of her. It was Ti-Day the Cheshire Cat.
He hissed and clawed at the card guards, distracting them while Ni-Ne and Pom-Pom escaped. Ni-Ne and Pom-Pom ran and ran until they were safe in the forest. Or so they thought…
Kita is such a potty mouth! Lol! And I love Goofy's song. Well Pharaonic-Angel has been helping me loads with this one. It was her idea to make the characters the characters of Wonderland. I think they are all drunk, lol. This should be interesting… Kita: Hey you! OFF WITH YOUR HEAD! Me: AHHHH! runs for it Reviews?
