King Mickey Said What?
A/N: Okay, knowing me, I just posted the first chapter to this, and I'm SO into it right now that I'm probably gonna end up writing ten chapters tonight and posting them every once and a while… hehe…
Anyway, the summary is SUPPOSED to say R&R… but my last R got cut off… heh…
Now to reply to all my reviewers reviews:
LockInspira: Oh my god… I was sitting on the floor, playing Kingdom Hearts 2 again when, at 2:28 AM I got a bit tired, so I decided to check my email… and I found your review! I have to say, I'm REALLY happy you like this story so much! I spent about a week planning everything out and getting my friend, Emily, to draw Meera. Thanks so much!
Disclaimer: Go to chapter 1, cuz I don't feel like saying it again!
ENJOY!!
Update: January 4, 2008
Edited this one too. I think I lied. I'm just gonna fix everything grammatically and spelling… so… yeah.

Riku, Sora, and Kairi,
I know the three of you have only recently returned home, but it appears we have another problem on our hands. It turns out that Organization XIII had a replacement for Roxas when he was taken. His name is Zopyris, and we have yet to identify his Heartless, or if he has a Somebody, like Sora, Roxas, Kairi, and Namine.
I will meet you in Radiant Garden, in the castle there. Ask Cloud and he will tell you where I am. I'm sorry I cannot tell you more here, but I don't want our enemies to intercept this a know anything more than they have to.
Sincerely, King Mickey
"And this had his symbol on it?" Cloud asked the teenage trio. The three nodded. "And this letter hasn't been edited by any of you at all?" The three shook their heads. Cloud rolled the paper back up, sighing, and gave it back to Sora.
"Turns out we have an imposter on our hands," Cloud explained.
"But why would someone tell us that and pose as King Mickey? It makes no sense that it ISN'T him," Kairi told Cloud. Cloud just shook his head.
"Well I can tell you, for sure, that he isn't here now. By the way, will the three of you stay out of the room on the fifth floor that has the large doors with carvings of a dragons on it?" They nodded. "Thanks. Um… go give Aerith or Tifa a visit or something. I don't really know what to tell you, except that you shouldn't leave Radiant Garden until I can contact King Mickey."
"Okay! See ya later Cloud!" Sora told the older man cheerfully.
"We should probably find somewhere to stay…" Riku told his friends as Cloud walked away. He stopped walking and turned back around toward the teenagers.
"You can stay here, it's really no problem. There are plenty of open rooms, and I don't know how long you three will be here…" Cloud said. They nodded and went to the fourth floor to pick their rooms… so no one noticed when Sora snuck off to the fifth floor… to a certain room he wasn't supposed to go into.
XXXXXXXXXX
Meera's eyes slowly fluttered open, and she wondered, as she looked at the time, why she was asleep so late into the day. It was already 11:00.
And then the memories of last night hit her full force, causing her to lay back down and try to get back to sleep… until she was disrupted by her doors opening.
A boy, about her age, walked into her room. He had spiky brown hair and was wearing mostly black, baggy clothes. Meera sat up and stared at the boy confusedly.
"…What are you doing in my room?" Meera asked the boy. He smiled at her.
"Hi! My name's Sora, and I was just kinda curious as to why Cloud didn't want us to come in here! Are you sick or something?" Sora asked the pale girl.
"It doesn't matter… no can you leave? I need to get dressed," Meera told the boy before he nodded and walked cheerfully out of her room. Meera sighed and got out of bed, taking off her black dress from last night.
She went over to her dresser and slipped on her mid-thigh length, black and purple dress. She put on her black shoes and slowly left her room, looking around for any sign of Cloud. She needed to talk to him.
"Hey Meera, have you seen Cloud?" A tall, pretty, brunette asked Meera. Meera turned around.
"No Tifa… I'm looking for him myself…" Meera explained. Tifa sighed and leaned on the gray wall beside her. Meera just shook her head and made her way to the stairs, to go down to the fourth floor. When she got there, she saw a girl with burgundy hair talking to that boy from earlier… Sora. Meera slowly walked over to them, not bothering to brush her red hair out of her face.
"…Excuse me… Sora, right?" Sora turned to Meera and nodded. "You… you don't happen to know where Cloud is do you?" Meera asked the boy.
"I'm sorry… but all I know is that he went to contact King Mickey," Sora explained. The other girl turned to Meera and smiled. She stuck out her hand, and Meera reluctantly took it.
"Hi! I'm Kairi!" She said cheerfully. Meera just shook her hand before letting go and looking at Sora.
"Are you two dating or something? Because you're just alike…" Meera told the pair of teenagers. Kairi's face turned pink, and Sora's mouth opened and closed a few times before his face turned pink as well.
"N-no… we're not…" Sora stuttered at Meera. Meera smirked before turning and walking away, down to the third floor. Before she left, a door opened and she heard a voice ask, "Hey, who are you two talking to?"
Meera's eyes widened and she ran down the stairs, incidentally bumping right into Yuffie Kisaragi, Ninja Extrodanairre.
"Meera? What's up? You haven't been out of your room in the past few days!" Yuffie asked.
"I'm looking for Cloud… have you seen him anywhere?" Meera asked Yuffie. To Meera's surprise, Yuffie nodded and dragged Meera to the town of Radiant Garden, and into Merlin's house.
"Meet the Radiant Garden Restoration Committee!" Yuffie exclaimed, pointing to Aerith, Cid, and Leon. They all turned around to see the girl that they all knew as "That quiet girl Cloud is always with."
"It's Meera isn't it? Cloud talks about you a lot," Aerith said.
"Well, don't you just look like another one 'o them numbskulls?" Cid commented, causing Meera to raise an eyebrow in confusion.
"What is it Meera?" Leon asked. Meera turned to him.
"I want to know where Cloud is," Meera told Leon. He nodded.
"He's waiting in the Gummi dock… apparently, King Mickey is coming because there's been some sort of an impostor," Leon explained. Meera nodded.
"Thanks Squall," Meera said, turning and leaving. Right before she left, she heard him mutter, "She'll never stop calling me that will she?"
As Meera made her way to the Gummi dock, she was very surprised when a… thing… a white thing with a weird symbol on it… jumped out in front of her and tried to attack her. She fell to the hard, cold ground, thinking it really WAS the end of her life that Cloud had saved only last night… but then she heard the clanking sound of metal on stone.
Meera slowly opened her eyes and saw that the white thing was gone… but now there was a large, purple, pink, and black… sword thing in front of her. It looked a bit like a key. Meera picked it up and examined it before deciding it WAS a very large key… a very large… SHARP key.
And then it disappeared into thin air. Meera just dismissed it, and continued walking to the Gummi dock, but she saw Cloud and a little mouse on her way there.
"Meera, what are you doing here?" Cloud asked. Meera took a glance at the mouse before looking back up at Cloud.
"Looking for you," Meera told him.
"Is this the girl you were talking about Cloud?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A/N: Wahahaha… who was that voice? And why did Meera run away from said voice? If you can figure it out I'll give you a cookie… and it's kinda impossible to figure out anyway, heh…
This chapter was hard to write… and super boring… I can't wait til chapter four, because there's a whole super lot of Riku in chapter four! See ya soon!
