Kairi broke through the water's surface to discover two surprising things.
One, it was night time.
Two, there was a huge...well, ship...floating on the water.
And three...wait, there were only two things she noticed. Never mind.
"Wow," breathed Kairi. "It's really...um...big?"
"Yeah!" said Flounder, who was mysteriously above water, and, even more mysteriously, talking. But he always does that. Even so, it's still mysterious.
Mesmerized by the pretty lights, Kairi swam closer. Flounder followed after her, being his usual wimpy self.
When she was close, Kairi spied a random hole in the side of the ship, which was actually not a random hole but a space between the bars of the railing. She pulled herself up and peeked onto the deck.
"Hey!" whined Flounder from down below. "I don't have hands! Help me! Help me!"
But poor Flounder's cries fell on deaf ears...well, they were as good as deaf, anyway. Because Kairi was too busy watching the strange scene on deck to care.
"Well, we WERE going to make a statue of you..." said a strange duck wearing clothes.
"Yeah, a-hyuck!" said a dog-thing, also wearing clothes.
"But Goofy accidentally spent the money on soft pretzels at the beach," admitted the duck guiltily.
The dog-thing, apparently Goofy, rummaged around in a bag. "But we did have enough money to make you this!"
A boy with sandy hair and blue eyes nearly spit out the soda he was drinking to gaze in horror at what the two...creatures...held before him.
Squinting, Kairi saw that it was a wooden doll. A badly made wooden doll.
"It's supposed to be you..." said Donald, doubt evident in his voice. "At least, that's what the shady-looking townsperson said when we bought it off him for a ridiculously-high price."
"You...shouldn't have?" said the boy, leaning away from the creepy doll. "Really, Donald, Goofy."
"Donald and Goofy?" muttered Kairi. "What kind of names are those?" She decided to remain hidden and watch their antics.
But, too bad for Kairi. A strange dog-like creature...okay, another strange dog-like creature...had spotted her. It was apparently of a lower class than Goofy, because it lacked cheap, thrift-store clothes.
"Woof!" said the dog. "Woof!"
"Hey, Sora, I think Pluto's gonna commit suicide!" screeched Donald.
"Don't be stupid, Donald," said the boy who's name was apparently Sora. "He's just...well, barking. He always does that."
But Donald had recently had too much caffeine, and was freaking out. "Suicide! Help! Suicide!" He ran around, pulling out his...feathers?
Kairi decided it was time to get out of there, before she was caught. Mission Impossible music started playing, and Kairi quietly dove back into the water. The music abruptly stopped.
"See, Donald, it's nothing," said Sora, now standing by Pluto.
"Woof!" said Pluto, which translates into, 'It was something, you idiot! How come you can understand that stupid Goofy and not me! We're both dogs! How come he gets to wear clothes and I don't!'
"Oh, that Pluto," chuckled Goofy, not realizing he was the direct object of Pluto's intense doggy-hatred.
Meanwhile, Kairi had been unable to resist watching the odd trio. She had swam over to the other side of the ship. (God knows why Sora, Donald, and Goofy were on a ship.)
She waited for a long, long time. For the Authoress to give the next cue, that is.
"Drat it," muttered the Authoress. "I forgot the storm." So she conjured up something else instead.
"Ahoy!" yelled Sora. "Whale off the port bow! Wherever that is!"
"It's MOBY DICK!" screamed Donald, ripping out more of his...feathers.
"Gawrsh!" wailed Goofy.
The three ran in small circles on the deck, until Moby Dick smashed into the side, and sent them all flying.
"Not agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!" wailed Sora, who then smashed his head on a random piece of debris and sank into the water.
Kairi had watched all of this, trying very hard not to laugh. She was still there, stifling giggles, when a bolt of lightening zapped right next to her. The Authoress had obviously found the storm, and was threatening to fry Kairi with it if she didn't get moving.
"Woops!" Kairi finally realized that Sora was drowning, and dove under the water to save him.
The pieces of wood and planks-
Rain sat on a couch, flipping through the channels. "Hi folks. Sorry to interrupt the story again, but I'm sure you're wondering what Sora and Kairi look like. Have they kept their original Kingdom Hearts charm? Or have they upgraded their looks to that of Kingdom Hearts II?"
"And more importantly, AM I IN THE STORY?" said Riku.
Ignoring him, Rain continued. "I'm sure you're very curious as to what I'll decide, but the truth is, it's up to you readers. Review in with your opinions, and the decision will be made by a unanimous vote."
"But-" started Riku, before he was interrupted.
"And YES, Riku will BE IN THE STORY," said Rain. "Happy? Now, back to the actual story."
Sorry, but that's it for this chapter. Review if you're hungry for more! And I really need to work on my other stories...I feel very guilty for neglecting them...
