My Own Lost World
Ch 11.
The Mouse King Sent Us On a Disney Train.
A/N: I'm sorry about neglecting the process of updating this story, I've been so busy creating all the other stories I have done. (I'm so proud to be up to nine total stories now!) And if you're wondering, after this I will be working on an update for War of Rebirth. And then Organizational Flaws, and then In The Mist.
It felt like forever before my eyes decided to adjust from the bright flash of light that greeted us as we fought the mysterious enemies.
Sora lowered his Keyblade as I slowly opened my eyes, blinking.
In front of us stood a little figure wearing a black cloak. It toke me a minute to realize that this figure was a mouse, (judging from the tail and big round ears) but right before I was gonna say something sarcastic like 'Do we reward you with cheese?' when Sora and I were jumped by Donald and Goofy.
"The King!" The two goof balls shouted in unison.
"Get off!" I shouted back, using the same tone they did. Donald and Goofy rolled off of me and Sora and we both stood up and brushed ourselves off before we were pounced again.
"Your Majesty, I_" The short mouse shushed us and jumped back, handing Sora a pouch.
"There is 5,000 munny in here. Get on the train, it knows the way." With that, he ran down the alley way.
"Wow. That was weird." I muttered.
Sora shook his head at me, as if to say 'What am I gonna do with you?'. I shrugged my shoulders.
Just then, Hayner and company ran up.
"We figured we should see you off. It just seemed like the right thing to do." Hayner smiled at us, then looked at me.
"Can I talk to you real quick?" He asked. I tilted my head to the side, giving him a questioned look, but I followed him anyway.
"So how do you know my name?" He asked.
There was that gut feeling again, the one that told me to keep my mouth shut.
So I did the one thing that came naturally. I lied.
"It just popped into my head, and I said it." I sighed.
He looked at me skeptically. My heart squeezed. This was the exact look he used to give me whenever he didn't believe a lie I told.
"Okay…But how do I know your name? Are you sure we haven't met before?" He asked.
I shook my head, and he sighed.
"Okay…"
"Aqua! We gotta go!" Sora called down to me from the top of the flight of stairs.
"I have to go." I told my old brother.
He nodded. "Yeah, you do."
Sora was next to the train, a tear running down his face as I made my way towards the train entrance.
He wiped his eyes and we boarded the train.
A few minutes of silence passed, and then Sora reached in the pouch the King gave him and examined the blue orb he pulled out.
My heart shot-rocketed back through my chest.
It was the same orb that Roxas and I shared from the Struggle trophy he received. I then remembered something important. That day, we had taken a picture together. I wondered if it was still in my pocket, so I fumbled around and found a folded up piece of paper. I opened it and got teary eyed all over again.
There was Roxas, looking at the camera and smiling. Next to him was me, half hugging him and grinning. On the other side was the rest of the gang, except for Pence, who was behind the camera.
I quickly folded it back up and put it away.
"You know?" Sora asked. I looked up at him.
"I'm sad." He said. I nodded, knowing exactly how he felt.
"We'll come back!" Donald chirped.
"Yeah! We can see Hayner and those guys again!" Goofy added. I smiled at them.
Then I turned back to Sora and nodded.
He sighed as we were whisked away to who knows were.

The train stopped on a floating island looking thing, and after the last person stepped off the train, (That would be me) it disappeared.
Sora laughed nervously. "Well, there goes our ride."
I smiled weakly as we walked forward.
There was a fat guy standing at the door of the tower that stretched before us, and he looked like he was in a good mood.
"Pete!" Donald and Goofy seemed to recognize the fat guy.
Turned out, he was one of the bad fat guys.
We fought a few shadow creatures, ones that Sora called "Heartless" and then Fat Pete raged.
We abandoned him outside when he said the name of a famous and powerful sorcerer who lived in the tower, which only ticked him off more.
We ran up the stairs, fighting Heartless along the way. We went through a series of doors until we got to the top one.
Pushing the door open, Sora and I waited as Donald and Goofy pushed past us to enter the room. Sora gave me a look and we both smiled.
"Master Yen Sid!" Donald shouted.
The old dude in the chair behind the desk in front of us smiled. He wore a robe of midnight blue, and he was really aged.
"You know this guy?" I asked.
"Master Yen Sid was the king's teacher." Goofy replied.
"The mouse king?" I asked.
Sora gave me a look, but the old dude, excuse me, Yen Sid, nodded, his eyes laughing.
"You must be the mysterious Aqua." Master Yen Sid said.
"I…Yeah…" I was shocked. How the heck did this dude know me?
As if he heard my thoughts, he answered. "I have heard a lot about you."
"How?" I asked.
"Many things. Prophecies, and even Organization XIII." He replied.
"Organization XIII?" Sora asked.
"Yes. A group of Nobodies without hearts." He held a hand out, and the mysterious enemies appeared. I tensed, but soon found out that they were decoys.
Master Old Guy continued on to tell us about how we couldn't trust the Nobodies one bit, and how they were plotting something major.
"Probably to take over the world." I stated.
"Worlds." Sora corrected me.
"Whatever!" I replied.
Master Old –Yen Sid sent Sora into the next room for a new outfit. He held me behind though, so that he could talk to me.
"You realize that you can't tell anyone about Roxas, correct?" He asked me.
I pause, staring at him.
"You know everything, huh?" I asked.
"Yes I do. I even know that you have grown fond of calling me 'Master Old Guy'." He replied.
I blushed, laughing nervously.
"But really, keep it a secret." Old Guy said.
I nodded.
"Alright."
Just then, Sora walked in wearing clothes that looked a heck of a lot more comfortable than his other pair. He looked good, too, might I add.
"Sweet!" I high fived him.
"One question; How do we get out of here?" I asked.
"Simple." Old Guy pointed, and behind him a ship appeared in the windows view.
"The Gummi Ship!" Donald squawked.
We saluted Yen Sid and began to run out of the room. I looked back at the know-it-all one last time, but he only gave me a sad look and disappeared.
