It was the day after Princess Grace's 18th birthday ball in the Enchanted Dominion, and Luna had changed back to her black and red crop top, with the black mini-skirt and black high-heeled leather boots. They had said their farewells and 'see you soon's, and then climbed into the Gummi Ship.

(Let's see if you can guess which world this is. But I will give you a hint...it's not a princess's world...later on I'll add a new princess AKA queen into the fan-fic.)

The ship took flight while Sora and Luna were in the backseat, holding hands and laughing at funny stories they would tell each other.

"Those two seem happy together, don't they Donald?" Goofy asked his duck friend.

"Yeah, they sure do." Donald responded.

After a while, they noticed a bunch buildings and a castle that looked like Disney Castle in more ways than others.

"What is this world supposed to be?" Sora asked as he was looking out the window with Luna right beside him.

"I don't know. I have never seen this world before." Luna said as Donald landed the ship and got out with Sora, Goofy, and Luna. They walked around for a while, until they noticed weird looking things.

"What in the name of pure hearts are those things?!" Luna asked as she summoned her keyblade, with Sora doing the same.

"Who knows!" Sora answered as she sliced one, making it turn into a paint and thinner combination. "Yuck!"

Luna swiped the last 2 and made them disintegrate into liquid. She made her keyblade disappear, as did Sora, and looked at him.

"Who are you guys?!" A voice, that almost sounded like King Mickey's, asked, making Sora, Luna, Donald, and Goofy look behind them to see a black rabbit with a white face and a harsh looking expression. He was wearing blue shorts and no shoes, considering he had large feet.

"Oh, how cute! A bunny!" Luna said.

"I'm not cute!" The rabbit said.

"Well then..." Luna began, sounding offended.

"I asked a question...who are you people?!" The rabbit asked again, sounding more harsh than before. "And why are you here? No, scratch that...how did you get here?!"

"I'm Donald Duck and this Goofy." Donald said.

"We work for King Mickey Mouse of Disney Castle." Goofy added, making the rabbit's expression soften up.

"Mickey? You work for Mickey?"

"Yeah. I'm Sora, and this is my girlfriend Luna." Sora added.

"You-you all know Mickey?" The rabbit asked, sounding sort of happy now.

"Yeah. We got here in our Gummi Ship, and we're here for...I don't know actually. The ship probably had a reason for wanting us to stop here." Luna said. "Can I ask who you are?"

"I'm Oswald the Lucky Rabbit...King Mickey is my brother." The rabbit said.

"Wait a minute...how are you related to King Mickey?" Sora asked.

"I'm technically his older half-brother." Oswald explained.

"Oh, that makes sense." Luna said. "Can you tell us where we are, Mr. Oswald?"

"Oh, that's easy! You're in Wasteland! This where old cartoons come when they are forgotten." Oswald answered.

"Wasteland...how come I never heard of it or seen it around before?" Luna asked.

"That's because we were supposed to be well hidden from the other worlds. But somehow you guys found us. Say, how is Mickey? I haven't seen him in a while."

"Probably waiting in a cage. Maleficent has him prisoner in her castle." Sora answered. And with that being said, Oswald's face turned scared.

"Is-is he okay?!"

"We heard from him...he's fine."

"Good. But now I know why you have found us...the worlds are starting to fall." Oswald began to explain.

OOO

They were in Town Hall on Mean Street when Oswald finished his explanation.

"So, because of King Mickey being Maleficent's prisoner, all the worlds, including Wasteland and Disney Castle, will fall?" Luna asked.

"Precisely!" Oswald exclaimed.

Sora was pacing back and forth in the office as he was thinking about what Oswald had just explained. He was starting to get a little worried about the king of Disney Castle, and that worry was making him want to head out.

"I think...we should go and save King Mickey, before all the worlds collapse." Sora said as he looked mainly at Luna.

"I, actually, couldn't agree more, Sora." Luna replied as she tried to stand up but fell back into her seat. "Gosh darn it!" She stood up slowly, and walked up to Sora and the others.

"Can you guys, uh, first help me out please?" Oswald asked.

"Sure thing, Oswald. What is it do you need?" Donald asked.

"Those things you fought earlier, they are called Blotlings. I need you to get rid of them. If you can't get rid of them all, that's fine, just a few, maybe even more."

"Gawrsh, are those things like Heartless?"

"Kind of...only they are made of paint and thinner."

"Well, we'll be happy to help." Luna said as she summoned her keyblade.

Oswald saw it and gasped. "That's a keyblade! Who are you?!"

"I'm Luna...Princess Luna of the Moon." Luna responded.

"Oh, I had no idea you were a princess. Forgive me, your highness." Oswald said as he bowed a little to her.

"Please, don't bow. It feels too formal for my taste."

Oswald stood up straight and smiled. He could see her future in her eyes...and he saw a certain spiked hair teen in her future.

Just then, they heard a scream, and Oswald's smile disappeared and his eyes widened. "Ortensia!" He yelled as he ran out of the office with the others following behind as Sora summoned his keyblade.

They get outside, and what they see is a bunch of Blotlings terrorizing the citizens of Mean Street...including a black cat with a white face, wearing a pink hat and a pink skirt.

"Ortensia!" Oswald yelled as he ran over and shocked one of the Blotlings with his remote, making it act all wonky as he grabbed the cat and ran back to Town Hall.

"Miss, are you okay?" Luna asked the cat, known as Ortensia.

"Oh, I'm fine, dearie." Ortensia replied.

"You know what to do." Oswald added before walking Ortensia into Town Hall.

"Alright, guys. Let's do this!" Luna sliced a Blotling that ran up to her and made it a puddle of paint and thinner. "ECK! Gross!"

Sora sliced a few, but found that every-time he sliced one, hearts would float out. "No...they are Heartless." Luna saw this and shot some of her powers at both of them, making them go back to their original owners.

Donald and Goofy were helping, as always. Goofy using his shield and Donald using his magic to get rid of them all on Mean Street.

Luna and Sora were back to back as they sliced and diced every Blotling that was bothering them. One had scratched Luna on the arm, making yelp in pain as she sliced it into nothingness, and making the hearts that Sora was releasing go their original owners, and not to Kingdom Hearts.

Luna sliced one more Blotling, then noticed that they barely made a dent in the army of Blotlings that was there. So she took out her crescent moon wand. It was a white base with a crescent moon on top, in the form of a U (Think of Serena's crescent moon on her forehead...if you've seen Sailor Moon that is). There was a crystal in the center of it that sparkled in, what Oswald called, the sunlight.

She attached it to her keyblade again, and held the blade up in the air, pointing to the sky. "Sora, Donald, Goofy...!" She yelled to her friends and boyfriend, making them stop what they were doing and look over at Luna. "Get out of the way!" Donald and Goofy listened, for they saw what she was about to do, but Sora was hesitant.

He looked at her with a worried look on his face, but went inside the Town Hall with Donald and Goofy the moment he heard her say: "I'll be alright." They closed the door to Town Hall.

Luna let a tear roll down her cheek. "I hope I'll be alright after this." She said under her breathe before putting on an angry face, and concentrating. A ball of light formed at the tip of her keyblade, as she yelled: "Mikadzuki spupairaru ai! (Crescent Spiral Love)"

The ball of light got brighter. So bright that you couldn't even see Luna or any of Mean Street anymore. And once it died down, all the Blotlings were gone. All that was left of the Blotlings were their hearts that were already floating to their owners.

Sora walked out of Town Hall, only to see that Luna collapsing to ground. When she did, she too the wand off of her keyblade and put it away, all while breathing heavy. "I...I did it. I survived that magic." She said under her breathe. But if I use it again... She began to think when she saw a hand being held out for her. She looked up to see Sora there, smiling at her. She smiled back as she took his hand and he helped her stand up as her keyblade disappeared, along with Sora's.

"You did it, Luna." He said before pulling her into a hug, which she accepted. "But don't ever do that magic again. I was afraid I wouldn't see you again."

Luna's smile faded as he said that. "I don't make any promises I can't keep. I'll try not to use it again, but if I have to, I'll have no choice but to use it." She said as she tightened her grip on Sora, Sora doing the same.

Donald and Goofy walked out of Town Hall with Oswald following behind.

"I think you got rid of most of the Blotlings here, Princess Luna!" Oswald said, making Luna and Sora let go of each other. "You have a strong power. I can see that now. Thanks for your help."

"Anytime Mr. Oswald." Luna said. That is... She began to think when she grimaced in pain, grabbing her arm in the process.

"Luna, you okay?" Sora asked as he checked her arm, only to see a bad cut with some paint and thinner mixed in with the blood. "Oh, my...that's why you yelped! You were cut pretty badly!"

"I'm fine, Sora." Luna said before closing her eyes and placing her hand back on the wound. A faint glow surround her hand...and wound. "Watashi o iyasu. (Heal me)" After she said that...the glowing stopped. She took her hand off of her arm, revealing that the wound was indeed gone.

"Whoa. You have healing powers too?" Sora asked, kind of shocked.

"I have all sorts of powers, Sora." Luna responded before she winked at him. Sora smiled as he pulled her close to him.

"Well, we should be heading out. King Mickey needs us!" Donald yelled, as he ran in the direction of the Gummi Ship.

"We probably won't see each other again...but who knows, we might." Oswald said with a smile.

"See ya around, Oswald." Sora said as he and Luna, with Goofy, walked towards the Gummi Ship.

Ortensia walked out of Town Hall and watched as the heroes left to save Mickey. "Do you think Sora and Luna will live happily ever after?" She asked as she took her husband's hand.

"I don't think, Ortensia..." Oswald began as he looked at his cat wife. "...I know they will." He kissed his wife's forehead before she wrapped her arms around Oswald's stomach (waist) and he put his arm around her as they watched their new friends leave in their ship.
