Sora, Donald and Goofy continued their trek on the satellite of Ganymede, exploring and investigating as they went. "There don't seem to be any heartless around here," Sora said thoughtfully.
"I know!" Donald spoke.
"I wonder why the Gummi ship brought us here?" Goofy said.
"It doesn't make sense!" Donald squawked.
As the group continued onward, Sora could smell the familiar scent of sea salt. The ocean reminded him so of his home on Destiny Island. With a smile, he turned to his companions. "Hey, guys! I think there's a beach around here somewhere!"
"Ya think so?" Goofy asked.
"Yeah. I can smell the ocean! Let's go!" Sora exclaimed, walking a little faster. Donald waddled after him hurriedly.
"Wait up!" he shouted. Goofy padded along behind them.
The trio kept walking, and walking, and walking until eventually, they came to a pier. "Oh," Sora said, looking disappointed. The landscape around him looked completely industrialized. The shoreline was littered with storage houses for boats, constructed from wood, cement and rusting metal. Wooden docks stretched out over the choppy waters, and no sand was visible; only the peeks of jagged rocks could be seen every once in a while as delicate waves rocked the fishing boats that were anchored. As Sora looked along the shoreline, he saw one fishing boat that was a little unusual. It had engines and thrusters and other strange things attached to it. "Hey!" he said, his nostalgia slowly melting away. "That boat looks pretty cool!"
"It looks like a ship!" Donald replied.
"Yeah," Goofy added. "A space ship!"
As the three of them walked up to the interesting ship, a long pole came into view, and then a head of fiery red hair. "Hey, look!" Goofy exclaimed. "That little boy is goin' fishin'! Just like I used to do with muh' dad!" Sora smiled at Goofy as he wrung his gloved hands with glee. Goofy smiled warmly as he gave a reminiscent chuckle. Just then, the head of red hair turned in their direction.
"Look!" Donald pointed at the person on the deck of the ship. The redhead grinned, waving a wild hand at the trio that stood on the dock below. Soon, the fishing pole shrunk out of sight and so did the redhead.
"Gawrsh, I think you frightened him," Goofy observed. The three travelers stared longer, and in no time the redhead reappeared on the deck, this time a lot closer to the pier.
"Strange, strangity strangers!" the kid sang, wearing a grin.
"Hi," Sora said, giving a small wave.
"Ed sees you!" the weird kid replied.
"Ed?" said Sora.
"Who's Ed?" Donald asked.
"I dunno," Goofy answered.
"Ed is Ed!" the childish voice rang out from above. Sora cautiously pointed a finger at the strange girl.
"Is Ed you?" he asked the child.
"Aye! Yup! That's the correct answer!" Sora and Donald smiled as Goofy gave his awkward chuckle.
"I'm Sora, and these are my friends Donald,"
"Quack!"
"and Goofy."
"A-hyuck!"
Ed came closer, her hands resting on the second rung of the ladder on the side of the ship. "Edward Wong Hau Pepeliew Tivrusky IV!" she replied, holding out a hand over the edge of the deck.
"Gawrsh! That's some name!" Goofy said, bewildered. Edward giggled.
"Is this your ship?" Sora asked, gingerly reaching up to shake her hand.
"Nope!" the strange kid answered with a grin. "Edward just lives here on the Bebop Bebop. Would you like to meet Ed's friends?"
"Sure," the boy answered. Donald and Goofy nodded behind him. Edward motioned for the trio to climb up the side of the ship, and they happily complied. When the trio reached the deck, Edward began to lead them into the ship. It wasn't long before Sora, Donald and Goofy had been consumed by the urge to walk in the fashion of Edward. The little kid was feverishly eccentric.
As the group wandered the halls, they were soon joined by Ein. The little dog barked at Edward's new companions defensively. Ed giggled, picking up the dog in her wiry arms. The dog gave a small whimper before becoming silent. "Sora, Donald McRonald and Goof-Goof, say hello to Ein!" the girl said, holding Ein out to the newcomers.
"Aww! Hi, boy!" Sora said, petting the Welsh Corgi.
"A-hyuck! He sure is a cute little feller!" Goofy chuckled. He scratched the dog gently under his chin.
"Donald McRonald?" the duck questioned, crossing his arms. Edward giggled delightfully.
"Wanna hold 'im?" Edward asked, presenting the dog to Sora.
"Ok," the boy responded. He put his arms out, ready to retrieve the dog but Edward plopped him into his grip.
Ed laughed as she acrobatically maneuvered down the hallway again. The three adventurers followed her, thoroughly amused.
Short chapter, huh? Yeah, I know. At least it's cute. At least, I think it's cute! Do you? Feel free to send me a review! I'd love to hear from you! About the length of this chapter, not to worry! The next chapter will be up and running soon! Just you wait! Ciao! :3
