"Well, what do we do now?" Donald asked.
"We've gotta find Riku and King Mickey," Sora said as though it were obvious. Mizu privatelly thought that it was.
"But, uh," Goofy asked, "where do we start lookin' for that there door to the light?"
Sora, Donald, and Goofy all hung their heads, causing Mizu to laugh and clap Sora and Goofy on the back, grinning into their faces.
"We go where our hearts take us!" she said jovially. "We allow our spirits to soar, our hearts to wander, and we leave all our worries and troubles behind us, where they belong! Alea jacta est, and we rolled lucky number seven! Fortune favors the bold, after all!" She looked at the trio and stepped back, crossing her arms and mock-glaring at them. "C'mon, guys, I'm running out of cliches. Perk up already! We'll find them when we find them, and not before!"
"Mizu," Sora said, as though he were talking to a particularly thick five-year-old, "we don't even know where to start looking."
"Cest la vie, kid," Mizu said, shrugging. "We're not gonna find squat if we stand around here all day." She looked off past them a little, and a grin spread over her face. "And speaking of boots," she said, pointing to something behind them. The three turned, and saw Mickey's dog, holding a note in his mouth and wagging at them.
"Pluto?" Donald asked, hardly daring to believe it.
"Hey, Pluto," Goofy called in greating. "Where have you been?"
"Hey!" Sora exclaimed, pointing at the letter in Pluto's mouth.
"Gawrsh, that's the king's seal," Goofy said in awe.
"Hey," Sora said, bending down to talk to Pluto directly. "Have you seen King Mickey?" Pluto turned around and began running down the road. Sora started after him, then turned and waved for his friends to follow. "Guys, let's go," he called before continuing after the dog. Mizu let out a whoop, jumped up and punched the air, then set out after Sora, her ground-eating lope swiftly closing the gap between them. Donald and Goofy followed after, and joined in the heart-felt laughs echoing up to them from Sora and Mizu.
A/N: And that's the end of this part of the fics. I must admit, they were originally supposed to be a trilogy, one for each game, but I think I like them this way better. And as this is the last chapter of the last fic for the original Kingdom Hearts, I want to thank everyone who read these and encouraged me to continue writing them. I'm sincerely sorry for the thousands upon thousands of hours of waiting for the updates you had to go through, but I hope that it was worth it. I love you all, even my flamers, and to those of you who have flamed me (and even those of you who haven't--at least not directly), I apologize for my fics not being up to your liking or standards. I also apologize to all of you for Mizu's Mary Sue-ness, and the disgusting amount of OOC. I hope I can continue to turn out (sporadically though the production may be) fics that you all enjoy, or at least read, and I hope you all continue to let me know what you think of my fics, and I would love to know what I can do to improve them if you feel that they need improving. Again, thank you for reading, and reviewing, I love you all very much, and I will try to update regularly with my other fics. Happy reading, all!
