Breaking Dawn- lounge/kitchen
Lulu set down her fork and sighed. Around her, Riku and the others were all talking and laughing as they ate their lunch. She looked at Riku as he talked to the two little mice sitting across from him. 'How can Riku be so calm? He is talking to a couple of mice and a bird!' She shook her head 'Not only is he calm, but he is completely accepting of the story of how they came to be in this swamp.'
She turned her focus at the small child beside her. Penny had told them of how she had been kidnapped by an evil woman named Medusa. That part was not so hard to believe but the really unbelievable part was about what Bianca and Bernard did. Apparently, they come from a organization called Rescue Aid Society. They told us how they ran into Orville and made their way here all the way from a place called New York. But what really caught Lulu's and Riku's attention was of how their escape on the Medusa's swamp mobile was stopped by black creatures. Riku instantly recognized that they were heartless and began to question them about when and where they first saw them. Penny told them that she had seen them around the shack that Medusa was keeping her in and that they seemed to be following her orders. Penny's story was interrupted when Riku's stomached growled. When an answering growl from Penny stomached was heard, Riku laughed. "Looks like its time for lunch."
This pretty much summed up her morning. Talking with animals that shouldn't be able to speak, relying on a child for information about the current events surrounding this new world, and then sitting down to lunch with them. Worst of all, she had taken part in this crazy little event. She rubbed her head as she felt the beginning of a headache form.
'… How the hell did I allow myself to be caught up in this situation?'
Lulu was dragged from her depressing thoughts when she felt a tug at her sleeve. She turned to see penny staring at her with a concerned face. "Lulu are you okay? You been quiet all morning and haven't finish your lunch." Surprised, Lulu looked down to see that her food laid untouched on her plate. "Oh, its okay Penny, I'm not sick or anything. I just got lost in thought and forgot about eating." Penny sighed with relief and smiled at Lulu. "Then do you want me to warm up your food." Lulu shook her head. "No, you don't have to Penny. I'm not feeling very hungry right now."
Penny stood up and began to clean the table off. "I'm glad your weren't sick Lulu. You didn't respond when the others told you they were leaving." Lulu quickly stood up and began to help her clean up the table. "Oh, I was wondering why it was so quiet. … Wait! Where did they go?" She looked around and finally noticed that Riku and the others were gone. Penny laughed at Lulu surprised and almost dropped the dishes she was carrying. " Riku had Ms. Bianca and the others show him the way to the shack. He wanted to get a better understanding of who was controlling the heartless and where something called a keyhole was. Why would he be searching for a keyhole anyways?" Lulu lead Penny into the kitchen and placed the dishes she was holding in the sink. "The keyhole is where the heartless are coming from. We had one on at my home too. Luckily we were able to close it and hopefully will close this one to."
Penny ran back to the table to pick up her toy and returned to lulu holding it in her arms. "So those black monster will go away then?" Lulu smiled down at her and nodded. " Yes, those monster will disappear and you won't have to worry about them any longer." Penny hugged the small stuffed animal against her chest and looked up at Lulu with relief. "Thank you Lulu, those monster always scared me." Lulu felt uncomfortable at the sheer gratitude she was feeling from the little girl before her 'Those creatures must have really scared her.' She turned away from Penny and began to walk out of the kitchen. " You don't have to thank me Penny. I got my own reasons to hunt them down, and Riku is the only one who can close the passageway." Lulu entered the hallway and began to head towards her room. "Anyways, Lets not talk about the heartless anymore. I will know what to do when Riku comes back." Penny followed along behind Lulu and began to fiddle with her bear's ear. " Lulu, what are you going to do while we wait for them to get back?" Lulu looked over her shoulder at Penny and merely shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe I'll just look around the ship."
"um Lulu?" She stopped walking when she noticed Penny was no longer following her. Instead, she was standing in the middle of the hallway fidgeting with her bear and giving her nervous glances. "Yes Penny?" Penny looked up at her with a hopeful face and held up her doll. "If your not busy or anything, do you want to play with me and Mr. Bear." 'No' was the first that that came to Lulu mind, but she stopped herself when she saw how hopefully little Penny was looking at her. Her mature side told her to say no to such a childish idea and continue on with her exploration of the ship. While her more childish and caring side didn't want to hurt the girl's feelings. Lulu made her decision and held out her hand to Penny. "Okay Penny, we'll play for awhile, but not to long." With a cry of joy and excitement, Penny grabbed Lulu's hand and began to drag her quickly to her room. "Thank you Lulu, Riku said you had some dolls that you and I could play with." Lulu eyes narrowed as she heard this. "Penny? Was Riku the one who suggested that you ask to play with them?" Penny nodded and looked back at Lulu "Why?" Lulu smiled at Penny and merely shrugged "No reason, just wanted to know why you would ask out of the blue to play with dolls with me." Penny seemed to accept her answer and returned her attention to dragging Lulu to her room. She missed the fury that entered Lulu's eyes and the vengeful grin that spread across her face. ' I'm going to kill Riku'

Riku jerked to a stop when he felt a paralyzing fear course through his very being. 'What was that?' thought Riku with a shiver of fear. 'Whatever it was, I hope nothing bad happens.'
"Riku, are you okay?" Riku looked over to the mice that were riding on his shoulder. "I'm okay, I just got this really bad feeling for a sec." Bianca patted Riku on the side of the face in a soothing manner. "You don't have to do this you know. We could always head back to the ship and try to find the way back to the city." Riku shook his head and continued toward his destination. "No, it would be best if I find out as much as possible about this Medusa and the heartless of this area." Bianca looked like she wanted to say more but was stopped as Bernard put a paw on her shoulder and simply shook his head. For next couple of minutes, the only sound that was heard was the nature around them, Riku's choppy breath, and the sound of the water splashing from his trek through the water.
The sound of a bird's cry alerted Riku to the sound of a bird flying over head. He looked up to see Orville coming in for a landing. He stretched his arm and allowed the bird to land clumsily on it. He ignored the feel of the bird's feet gripping onto his skin and watched with concern as the bird gasped for breath. "You okay Orville, did anyone see you? Is anybody following you?"
"One question at a time!" gasped Orville as he straightened up to remove his goggles. "No one saw me, no is following me, and I found where Medusa is." He pointed his wing toward the direction he came from. "If you walk that for about an hour, you should be able to see her shack." Riku nodded his head and beginning wading through the knee deep water toward his destination. Orville hopped up his arm and rested on his shoulder. "Sorry Riku, but I'm all tuckered out. I'm going to have to rest on your shoulder for awhile."
"Don't worry about it, you guys don't why much at all"
"If you say so Riku. … Do you think that we will be able to find what we are looking for." Riku almost shrugged his shoulders but stopped when he remembered his passengers. Instead he barely shook his head. "I don't know, but if Medusa is controlling the Heartless. Then the keyhole should be near her base." 'I hope' added Riku as an after thought. 'I don't want to make a mistake that will end up killing Lulu and the others.' The rest of the group sat quietly on Riku's shoulders to contemplate how things will turn out if he was wrong.
They traveled for the rest of the hour in silence as the presence of the heartless grew stronger as they came closer and closer to Medusa's location. Riku had to slow his pace so he wouldn't cause much noise that would attract attention. He could see a light appear through the cracks in the trees in front of him. He slowly peaked around a tree to see a sight that almost gasp in surprise. He quickly hid behind the tree and made a shushing motion towards the others. Behind him he could hear and feel hundreds of heartless moving about. Riku lowered his voice as he addressed his companions. "Orville! Why didn't you tell me there were that many heartless here." Orville squawked in indignation "I didn't have time to count all the heartless here. They would have seen me if I tried that!"
"Shut up!" growled Bernard "You guys are being to loud. They will hear us!" Riku and Orville glared at eat other but kept quiet as to not be swarmed by the heartless.
'Stupid bird, didn't think it was important to mention how many heartless their were. Come to think of it, why am I even arguing with a bird. It's an annoying bird, but nevertheless, a bird' Riku shook the thoughts from his head and peaked around the tree again. 'I don't got time for this. I should see if I can sense where the keyhole is.' He saw countless heartless floating around the shack that he assumed Medusa was in. He tried to pear through the window to see if a could catch a glimpse of the keyhole but was unable to see anything. 'Damn, I can't see anything so far away.' He motioned for those on his shoulders to be quiet and slowly circled the camp to get a better view of the shack.
Ten minutes later, a very frustrated Riku was leaning against a tree. 'Where the fuck is it. No matter where I look I can't see or sense where it's at.'
"Of course its there, you're just looking in the wrong spot."
Riku jerked backwards and collided with a tree behind him. "Oh dear, Riku are you okay?" asked Bianca as she steady herself on his shoulder. Riku quickly shook his head and plastered a fake smile on his face. "I'm fine Bianca, I thought of something that surprised me that's all."
"Lying isn't a good thing to do Riku." Mocked the voice inside his head. "That could get you into trouble later."
'Shut up!' Riku pretended to go back to looking at the area around the shack. "Don't worry about anything guys. I just think I may have had idea where the keyhole."
"Oh that's wonderful dear, where do you think it is." Riku paused and racked his brains. 'Shit I should have known they would have wanted to know.'
"Looks like you're in trouble Riku" sneered the voice "I could tell you where it is though. Problem is would you believe me?"
'No' was Riku's initial answer until he caught the expecting faces of those around him. 'Damn, either I follow what he says or I have to tell them I was lying about actually thinking of where it could be.'
"Looks like you fucked either way Riku" cackled the voice. "I'll tell you just so you'll be in my debt. The shack you're so desperately trying to look into doesn't have the keyhole. The boat in front of it does."
'What boat' Riku looked toward the water to see if he could find any boat floating in front of the shack. 'There's nothing there bastard. Did you lie to me just to fuck with me!'
"Look harder dipshit! Its fucking staring you in the face!" yelled the voice in frustration.
Riku continued to stare but couldn't find a boat. 'There's nothing there, just some sunken log.' Riku looked closer and realized his mistake 'That's not a log, it's a sunken boat!'
"Finally, took you forever to realize that! I only hope that once this body is mine that I don't gain any of your stupidity."
'You're not taking me over at all!' Riku turned towards his companions with a serious expression. "Lets get back to Lulu. I think I found out where the keyhole is. I'll tell you guys on the way back." The others nodded their head in understanding and Riku quietly began to make his way away from the shack.
"This is boring. We should just go in there and kill everything!"
'No, go away. I have had enough of you for awhile.' Riku commanded.
"No" came the unexpected reply "You seem to misunderstand the current situation Riku. You can no longer command me. You're stuck with me from now on fool."
Riku suppressed a gasp of surprise 'That's where your wrong! Get the fuck out of my head bastard. This is my body and soul and you don't have any right to be in them.'
"Aw, but you see Riku. I'm no longer just a part of you anymore. I've become a separate being from you entirely. It just happens that I'm unable to leave. That's all. So for now we are friends… no" chuckled the voice "Were closer than that. We are roommates."
Riku gritted his teeth and picked us his march toward his ship. One word summed up all his feelings at this revelation. 'Shit'
