Chapter 9
Wonderland

"I can't believe that stupid goat guy wouldn't let us compete..." Sora grumbled.

"He doesn't know what incredible fighters he let slip through his grasp," Gizmo offered.

"I guess he's right," Kupo agreed. "I just hate the fact that he didn't believe we were heroes."

"It's all right," Goofy said and patted the two on their backs. "Maybe when you get a little more experience he'll let you compete."

"I hope," Sora said with a sigh.

"Those are some huge doors..."

The blonde girl reached forward and pushed them open. Her jaw soon dropped as she saw all the gold and huge pillars and everything.

"Are you sure my friends were here?" She asked as she looked around.

"I'm sure," Blue Light said as he hovered over the ground. He quietly watched as Stephanie began to walk down the stairs and he soon followed.

The sun shone down harshly on the girl and her friend as they made their way across the hot sand. The two quickly made it to the other pair of doors and pushed them opened.

There was no one in the small room. A medium sized pedestal stood on one side of the room and a couple of torches lit up the room.

"Um, hello?" She called hesitantly. "Is any one here?"

"Yeah," called another voice. "Comin'."

The two waited in silence for a few minutes and finally a short man appeared from out of the hall. What made Stephanie stare at him for a couple of seconds was his goat legs and horns.

"What can I do for ya?" He asked as he scratched the base of one horn.

"Uh, I'm S-Stephanie," she stuttered.

"I'm Phil," the goat man said.

"I was, uh, just looking for my friends," she explained. "There's a boy with brown spiky hair and blue eyes. A girl with light brown hair, about shoulder length, with blonde highlights and green eyes. Another boy with silver hair that's about shoulder length with light blue eyes. And another girl with reddish-brown hair that's cut sort'a short and with dark blue eyes. Have you seen them?"

"I've seen two 'round here," he explained. "They were with a duck and a dog thing. Said they wanted to compete in the Games, but I turned 'em down."

"Did they say where they were going?" She hurriedly asked.

"Nah," he said casually. "Just left angry 'cause I wouldn't let 'em compete."

Stephanie looked back at Blue Light with a look of exasperation. The Heartless hovered there silently and waited for her to make the next move. The girl sighed and looked back to Phil. "Thank you anyway."

"No, trouble," Phil said and made his way back down the hall.

"Where to next?" Blue Light asked.

"I guess where ever you sense they're going," Stephanie said with a shrug.

The two walked back out onto the hot sand and the girl climbed up onto the Heartless' back. She grabbed him tightly and the Heartless took off.

"Maybe we can find a world the actually appreciates our special fighting skills!" Kupo said proudly.

"Yep," Sora agreed yet again.

She had been at this for five minutes. It all started when Gizmo told them they were incredible fighters.

Sora sighed as he watched his friend pace back and forth over and over again. Gizmo had obviously given her too much of a confidence boost.

"Kupo, we get it!" Donald interrupted her in mid-sentence.

"Fine!" She shouted back at him.

"Just chill out for a while," Sora said. "It's not like we're ever gonna see that goat guy again."

"I guess you're right," Kupo agreed and sat down beside her friend.

"I wonder what world we'll be headin' to next," Gizmo said to himself.

"Who knows," the boy said. "I'd really like to go to a world where everything's spooky and where there's skeletons and ghosts and everything! Kind'a like a Halloween world."

"That's creepy," the girl said and drew back a bit. "I hope we don't. I've never ghosts. I hope we go to a world where I can swim all I want. Where there's Mermaids and Mermen. That would be awesome."

"I don't like the water," Gizmo said. "I wanna go to a world where you can swing on vines and sleep out under the stars. Like a jungle, I guess."

"I wanna go to a world that's just like home," Kupo spoke what was on everybody's mind.

Sora looked down at the floor. It seemed like a long time ago since he had walked along the beautiful shore of Destiny Island, but it had only been one day ago. He remembered the smells and how clear the ocean water always was. How could he have ever wanted to leave such a wonderful place? Back then it all seemed so boring, but now he wished he had never wanted to leave.

"We'll all get back to our home worlds eventually," Kupo said comfortingly.

"Yeah, but first we have to find Riku and Kairi," Sora said and began to look more confident.

"We're almost there!" Donald called from the cockpit. "I can see the world. We should be there in one minute."

The three sat in their seats and waited anxiously. Who knew what surprises the new world would hold?

The Gummy ship began to slow and then finally came to a complete stop. The three in the back jumped out the door only to realize that there was no floor to stand on!

"I don't wanna die!" Gizmo said and grabbed onto Kupo's arm.

"We're not gonna die!" She shouted as the group neared the floor.

Sora landed on his feet first followed by Kupo with Gizmo still clutching her arm for dear life. Donald landed safely beside Sora two seconds later and Goofy landed on his stomach beside Kupo.

"Wha'?" He said sleepily. "What happened?"

"You were sleeping!" Donald shouted.

Goofy laughed sheepishly as the small group stood. They were in a small room that looked like it was taken out of somebody's dream. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Goofy saw a small rabbit hopping quickly past them.

"Oh my fur and whiskers! I'm late!" He cried as he hopped along even faster. "Oh the queen! She'll have my head for sure!"

What kind of evil person would want to have a cute little rabbit's head! Kupo thought angrily.

The group ran after the rabbit in hopes of catching up to him, but he soon hopped out of sight. They soon came to a door and quickly opened it, only to find another door. Donald hastily opened it as well, but yet again, there was another door waiting.

"This is ridicules!" Sora shouted as Kupo yanked the last door open.

The entered another room that, once again, looked somewhat like it had been taken out of a dream. Up ahead, the rabbit had gotten tiny and had hopped right through a small door up ahead. Not even Gizmo could've fit through it.

"How's he get so small?" Sora asked.

"No, no!" A voice came from the doorknob. "You're simply too big!"

"WAH!" Donald cried as he jumped back. "It talks!"

The doorknob yawned as if it were bored. "Must you be so loud? You woke me up!"

"G'mornin'!" Goofy said with a friendly wave.

"Goodnight!" It said rudely. "I need more sleep!" It yawned once more.

"Wait!" Sora exclaimed as he got down on his hands and knees so he'd be level with the door. "How do we grow small!"

"Grow small..." Kupo snickered.

Sora quickly glared back at his friend as the doorknob replied. "Why not try the bottle over there?"

The group turned in time to see a table and a couple of chairs become 3-D. On top of the table were the two bottles the doorknob was talking about.
