'I think I made the right decision sticking with Sora. Sure the Keyblade scares me, but he's a good kid. Now if only I could tell him I'm not supposed to be a Heartless...' Kali was busy thinking her whole conversation to herself once the gang was back in the gummi ship. She was again in Sora's lap waiting to be petted before taking off.
"Honestly, I don't know why you ever wanted to keep a Heartless of all things. It's can't help us in battle, it gets hurt too easily, and it could still take your heart at any time!" Donald quacked out. Kali growled at him before turning away, hurt now. She jumped out of Sora's lap and sat in a corner not facing them.
"Great, now you hurt her feelings! Apologize, now!" Sora yelled out at the duck.
His eyes narrowed at the boy. "And what if I don't?"
"There's no need for all this fightin'. Kali's sad enough. We should cheer her up." Goofy walked over to the Shadow and kneeled down near to her level. "I know what'll cheer you up, a-hyuk!"
Kali glanced up at him out of curiosity and with a tinge of dread. And what's when it came up. "It's the tale of the Ugly Barnacle, a-hyuk! Once upon a time, there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly, everyone-"
"Enough with that story! I'm sick of it!" Donald quacked.
At that moment, Sora got up to help make Kali feel better. "I'll tell you what Kali, I'll let you have as many cookies as you if you come back and sit with us and smile."
Kali looked up at him, thought for a moment, and nodded her head in agreement. Besides, cookies sounded good after saving a world. She jumped back in his lap when he sat down and nuzzled him and let him pet her.
"See Donald, she has feelings too! So stop harassing her." He then began smiling so they take off into space again. He got a "Humph" from the duck then he and Goofy smiled as well. Finally Kali threw in her creepy smile and they were off.
After a few minutes, Kali looked up at Sora. 'So where's the cookies, boy?' She thought while giving him a begging look.
"Huh? Oh right, the cookies!" Sora put her down and reached over towards a cupboard. Luckily there was a whole bag in front.
"I'd like some too please!" Goofy said aloud.
"Fine, I'll take a few." Donald quacked as he reached for the bag. He only settled for two and turned back around.
Kali herself began to nibble on one, not sure of its taste. It was oatmeal raisin, and she immediately liked the raisins and went for a second cookie.
"Heh, I guess Heartless can like things besides hearts! That's good to know." Sora cheered out and ate a cookie.
Now that she felt better, and now on a slight sugar rush, Kali jumped down and crept toward the window to get a good view of the stars. They sure zoomed by fast. She tried counting them, but couldn't remember the number that came after three. Besides, the stars zoomed by too fast. She didn't even notice how much the time went by.
"Hey, I think I see the next world coming up, hyuk!" She and Sora looked up to the approaching world ahead. It had what looked like shiny... stuff on a building, but it was still too far to tell.
Sora smiled even bigger, if that was possible. "Looks like it could be enjoyable this time, right Kali?"
All she did was shrug.
