(Note: Sorry for the late update. I had independent studies and man, I read two books today and wrote reports and... just for me being tardy, I'll put up the Atlantica chapter tonight, too, just for you guys. As a bonus to say "I'm sorry!" I hope you'll forgive me for being late.)

"Sora, please find Jasmine for me," Aladdin demanded before Sora left Agrabah. He had also handed over a key chain for Sora (and what he was doing with it is beyond everyone).

"Awww, c'mon, Donald! Why won't you let me pilot the ship?" Sora asked.

"Luckily I made a list of reasons why you can't," Donald said, then pulled out said list, which was a bunch of papers taped together in a four-foot list of reasons. "One, you're obnoxious. Two, I severely dislike you. Three, I got the wrong impression the first time we met. Four, you willingly returned that hug. Five, you're annoying. Six, your hair is stupid. Seven, so is your style of dress. Eight, you're an idiot. Nine, you get along too well with Goofy. Ten, you're a teenage boy. ...Must I continue?"

"No, no... I think I got the message."

"Good."

So Sora went to looking boredly out of the window. He sighed a few times.

Goofy hummed along to his dance music, hardly noticing the blinking dot that was rapidly approaching their favorite rocket ship.

DA-DUM...

Sora squinted at what looked like a big gray rock that was kind of swaying back and forth in the distance. "Hey Donald..."

"Shut up."

DA-DUM... DA-DUM...

"But there's this big huge thingy-doodle coming along right behind u--"

"I said 'shut up'."

"Fine..."

DA-DUM DA-DUM DA-DUM...

"Goofy, will you turn your Jaws soundtrack off please?" Donald sighed, rolling his eyes.

"Gawrsh, sorry Donald," chuckled Goofy. He pressed the 'stop' button and indeed it stopped. "A-hyuck."

Just then, a big whale swam by.

"Whoa! That's the biggest sp--"

"WHALE," Donald coughed loudly.

"...Yeah, but I was being specific. A s--"

"Don't say it!"

Sora looked very confused. "Whyever not?"

"We're freaking Disney."

"...So?"

Donald pulled out a very large book and heaved it onto a collapsable card table they had for whenever he and/or Goofy got bored and wanted to put the ship on autopilot. The table buckled under the weight but managed to stay up. He then skimmed the table of contents and flipped to a page near the middle. "Zero Tolerance Policy of Disney, page 598, paragraph 4, clause 12... 'Absolutely no inappropriate bodily functions or fluids will be mentioned so long as there are Disney characters to inforce this. There are no exceptions to this and you will be terminated if you are too... 'suggestive'.'" He slammed the book shut and gah-LARED at Sora.

"Umm... So?"

"SO? Did you not understand that?"

"Not really..."

Donald kind of stared at him for a moment and then brought out a couple of sock puppets. "'Hey Snow White, you wanna make babies?' 'Well yeah, but right now I have to get the key from the safe that won't open unless I get the combination right in twenty seconds and then fight some horrible abomination of science.' 'Uhhh... never mind...'"

"OOOOH! Okay. Wait, then how did you come about existing, then?"

"I was drawn in the Disney studio."

"Tch. Geez."

"Gawrsh, that whale sure is taking a long time to gobble us up. A-hyuck."

"Shut up Goofy!" Donald yelled.

Then Monstro ate them. Argh! Oh no!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Little Sora and Little Riku were doing stuff one sunny afternoon. "It's true! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Are you sure you saw something? Are you sure it wasn't... NOTHING?"

"What difference does it make? Gosh. There's a ginormigantuan monster in there, I tell you!"

"All right... suppose there is a monster. Could we beat it by ourselves, Sora?"

"Well, logically no. But since I'm merely one of those people who throws caution to the wind and avoids it slapping me in the face, YES!" So they went and listened carefully like the author did on her vacation on a cave tour. "Listen... can't you hear it?"

"Well if it's that loud, we'd better go check it out."

A few seconds later...

"See? You were just jumping to conclusions again," said Riku, pointing out how there was absolutely nothing inside of the cave. "It was just the wind."

"Aww, man! I wish it was a monster..."

"You're a moron."

"I know, MOM. Hey... what's that?" he asked, pointing at a door.

"A door?"

"No duh."

"Shut up Sora."

"Make me."

"I will!" He chased Sora out of the cave and then decided that maybe beating his best friend up would be kind of not-so-friendly. "Hey Sora..."

"Yeah?"

"When we grow up, let's get off this island. It's so boring here. We need to see the world."

"Sure, whatever. Hey, wanna go see that new girl at the mayor's house?"

The Saga Ends...

"Mmm, pudding..." Sora muttered, then woke up. He was looking up at the ridges of somebody's mouth. "Oh geez, am I having that 'I got eaten by a whale' dream again?"

"Yes," Donald said sarcastically, standing over the boy.

"Oh, okay."

"You idiot. I was being sarcastic. Now get up!" Donald yanked Sora up by his little jacket.

"Hey, Sora, are you okay?" Goofy asked. He looked reasonably concerned.

"Where are we?" Sora asked, dazed. Looking down, he saw that he was standing on something big, pink, and spongey. "Oh... blech." Then he serveyed his surroundings, noting the pools of water--or what he assumed was water, anyway--and much wreckage that had been nicely arranged into several platforms. And then he saw a uvula.

Monstro

"Uh, ya know, Sora, Monstro ate us."

"Oh... well that explains the grossness of the whole place." He narrowly dodged a falling object. "Argh!"

"And for today's weather: Expect showers," Donald said because really, in the game that line was way too witty for Goofy.

Another object richocheted off of Goofy's shield. "Gawrsh! Heavy showers!"

"Wait, no, that little kid's just throwing stuff at us," Sora pointed out, indicating Pinocchio who waved to them with one hand and held a piece of rubble in his other hand. Sora waved back with a big smile on his face.

"Hey! Who's there?" Donald demanded.

"It's me!"

"Mario?" Sora guessed.

"...No."

"Oh, it's just Pinocchio," Donald said, as Sora was ignored for the thirty-second time in the story. I know. I counted. "Wait, PINOCCHIO?"

"After him, quick!" said Jiminy, pointing his little umbrella onwards.

"Did you hear something?" Sora asked, looking around in a very confused way.

"No..." Goofy answered.

But they ran up to what appeared to be a shipwreck anyhow, as that looked as though it could further the plot somehow. And it was where Pinocchio had ran off to anyway.

"What have you got there, Pinocchio?" Geppetto asked the puppet.

"With this, we can get out of here, Father," Pinocchio said, holding up a Gummi Block.

"With this big block?"

"Yup."

"It's true," said Donald, he and the other two having been standing there the whole time.

"So, how did you end up here, Pinocchio?" Sora asked.

Geppetto looked like he had brightened up considerably. "Goodness me! Did the whale swallow you, too?" He tried his best to sound dismal, but with just a cat, a fish, and a puppet as your only company, things get boring and redundant fast.

"A whale swallowed us?" the boy asked, looking very freaked out.

"I thought we already went through this?" Donald asked Goofy.

"Don't ask me, I'm just Goofy. A-hyuck."

"My name is Geppetto," Geppetto introduced himself. "I'm Pinocchio's 'father'--" he used the little finger-quotation marks. "--and when we got separated I looked everywhere for him. Thank goodness we're together again."

Something caught Pinocchio's eye and he glanced over to where Riku had snuck off into another part of Monstro's... stomach-ish area. Ew.

"So, you seem to know Pinocchio quite well. I hope he's been the gosh-darned best kid in my absence." He sighed and adjusted his glasses. "Well, we've had quite a journey, haven't we, Pinocchio? ...Pinocchio?" He looked around and cursed to himself. "Darn that puppet..."

Sora and Friends went off into the next... chamber? I'm just gonna call it Monstro's Gullet.

"Pinocchio, come out to play!" Sora said creepily.

"Well I think you've succeeded in making him run further into the belly of the beast," Donald said irritably.

"Pfft. WhatEV, Donald," Sora said flippantly. "Pinocchio, come on! This is no time for games!"

"But Sora, I thought you liked games," said Riku, popping in from nowhere. "Or are you too cool to play them now that you have the Keyblade?"

"Riku! What are you doing here?"

Riku smirked. "Just playing with Pinocchio."

"Tch. Gosh. You know what I mean! What about Kairi? Did you find her?"

"MAYBE," Riku replied like Sora. "Catch us and maybe I'll tell you what I know."

"Oh come ON!" Sora yelled in exasperation.

Riku ran off with Pinocchio, deeper into Monstro's... body. Yech. Logically, Sora and his homies followed.

Some time later...

"Why do you still care about that boy?" Maleficent asked. "He has all but deserted you for the Keyblade and his Disney companions, after all."

"I don't care about him," Riku said unconvincingly. "I was just messing with him a little, 's'all."

"Oh really?" the witch chuckled. "Of course you were. Beware the bad humor. The Farceless prey on it."

"Mind your own business."

Maleficent disappeared like the Grim Reaper and Pinocchio ran up, shortly being chased after by Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

"Riku! What the heck's the matter with you? What are you thinking? Don't you realize what you're doing?" Sora asked in succession.

Riku glared at him. "I was about to ask you the same thing, Sora. You only seem interested in running around and showing off that Keyblade nowadays. Do you even--"

"Oh, so it's Keyblade envy?" Sora snickered.

"Ugh! That's not what I meant, you little--"

"'I'm Riku, I'm jealous that I don't have a Keyblade!'" Sora mocked.

Riku made a face. You know, one of those, "I can't believe I thought he was talking about... never mind" faces. "Umm... Okay. Do you even want to save Kairi?"

"I do."

Riku ran off again, and if you don't know that Sora followed him then you're slow on the uptake.

Some time later...

Inside the Bowels (eeeeew), the group encountered one of Monstro's many parasites. Oh, gross. It looked like a mix between one of those old-fashioned stoves, and had the head of some kind of bug and also had tentacle arms.

"EEEEEW what's that?" Sora asked, looking disgusted.

"I don't know, but whatever it is... wanna beat the snot out of it?" Riku asked.

"You know it!"

And that's just what they did. They beat the proverbial snot out of the damn thing. Alas, it ran away after spewing out several of its guts and Pinocchio. And also some other stuff that was unidentifiable but gross nonetheless.

Pinocchio, dazed, stumbled down a pit nearby, and Riku followed.

Sora looked at the abyss suspiciously. "I don't really know where this leads, so... uhh..."

"Too bad," Donald grumbled, shoving Sora into the hole and grabbing Goofy by the arm, jumping in as well.

By some weird twist in the anatomy of the whale, they ended up back in its mouth. From its bowels. Umm... what?

"Pinocchio! Pinocchio!" Geppetto cried. He shook his fist at Riku. "You little hooligan! Give me back my son!"

"Sorry, old man," Riku said. "I have some unfinished business with this puppet."

"He's no puppet! He's my little boy!" Geppetto said like a relative in denial.

Riku looked thoughtfully at the knocked-out puppet tucked under his arm. "He is unusual. Not many puppets have such a sense of humor... I'm not sure, but maybe he can help someone who's lost theirs."

"That makes no sense," the old man told him.

"Wait a minute," Sora said. "Are you talking about Kairi?"

"What do you care about her?" snapped Riku, then he ran away again.

Right when Sora got into the throat, Monstro swallowed them further, through his esophagus and all the way into his stomach. Eeew!

After recovering and wiping some of Monstro's spit off of him, Sora stood up and pointed at Riku. "Hey! Let Pinocchio go!"

"A puppet that's lost its humor to the Farceless," Riku said, ignoring Sora. "Maybe it holds the key to helping Kairi. How about it, Sora? Let's join forces to save her. We can do it, together..."

"No way José!"

"What, you'd rather fight me instead?" Riku asked. "Over a puppet that has no humor? What kind of friends do YOU like?"

"Humor or no humor, he still has a conscience," Sora said. He looked at his friend in a no-nonsense kind of way.

"Conscience?"

"You might not hear it, but right now it's loud and clear. And it's telling me you're on the wrong side!"

"Riku's definitely on the wrong side..." Jiminy said by Sora's ear.

"Oh, I actually did hear it!" Sora smiled like a moron.

Riku dropped the puppet, and Pinocchio fell like a bag of cement. "Then you leave me no choice."

Jiminy hopped off of Sora and ran to Pinocchio. "Pinocchio! Are you all right?"

"Jiminy... I'm... I'm not gonna make it," Pinocchio said faintly. His nose grew longer, however, and he brightened up. "Oh, I guess not."

The cricket sighed in relief.

Just then, Monstro's parasite from earlier popped in for a spell. It let out some weird nasally battlecry and waved its tentacles around.

"Ugh! I'll be glad when I'm out of here and I'll never have to come back," Sora said to himself but loudly enough so that everybody could hear him. So he wasn't technically talking to himself.

Riku disappeared the same way Maleficent did.

And um, wow! Sora and the Disnettes killed the thing dead.

"Run!" yelled Donald.

"Riku! Riku where are you?" Sora called. But after a minute he decided that maybe getting thrown up wouldn't really make his day, so he ran like the wind and scrammed to the mouth.

Meanwhile...

Kairi was sitting limply on the deck of a ship. Riku looked at her with a worried expression, then turned to Maleficent. "So she's like a lifeless puppet now?"

"Precisely."

"And her humor was..."

"Take by the Farceless, no doubt."

"Tell me! What can I do?"

"There are seven maidens of the purest humor. We call them the princesses of farce. Gather them together, and a door will be open to the humor of all worlds. Within lies untold wisdom. There you will surely find a way to recover Kairi's humor."

"That old guy was right, this DOESN'T make any sense," Riku said.

Maleficent chose to ignore that. "Now, I'll grant you a marvelous gift. The power to control the Farceless."

And thusly he was granted this power. He looked at Kairi. "Soon, Kairi... Soon..."

TO BE CONTINUED!
