Hey guys, how long has it been now? It feels like two years since I last updated...sniffle

Oh, and I would like to say that the Marshmallow Gladiators from last chapter were not my idea, and were in fact, Mikoto-cat's little mind babies. Just wanted to clear that up.

And while I am on that topic, for those of you who want credit for the ideas that you offered me, send me a message and I will include your name in a little shrine of honorness and love on the last chapter. And for any weirdos who might want to claim that they gave me an idea when they really didn't, don't waste your time, seeing as I have a pretty good idea of the 5 or 6 people who really did give me ideas. (Don't look at me weirdly when I say that--It's happened before!)

And one last thing before you read this chapter--I want to know if any of you are interested in seeing Sora's serious side show up for a while on the last challenge/chapter, or just anytime in the future. Anyway, I won't keep you any longer--read on!

Time to Partay with Inviso-Watches

Team Destiny's Ninjas were walking back to camp from their last challenge, with Sora singing joyfully.

"Prizes, prizes, oh how I love prizes!"

"Will you quit singing already?!" Vexen demanded, throwing the boy an irritated look.

"But I don't wanna!" Sora pouted, making the hearts of fan girls across the globe melt into putty in their chest cavities.

"Well, you'd better, before I decide to leave a banana slug in your bed tonight!"

"That was an odd threat." Demyx said as Sora shuddered in horror.

"Yes, but an effective one." Vexen smirked, glancing at Sora.

The Keyblade Master had wide eyes and was repeating the mantra: "So slimy…must get away from sluggy body!"

"Will you ever shut up?!" Vexen screamed, bursting a blood vessel in his forehead.

"Why don't you all shut up! Don't make me turn this car around!" Riku yelled.

"What car?" Demyx asked.

"Sorry, I just wanted to say that at least once in my life." Riku explained.

"Psht! Noob." Demyx muttered contemptuously under his breath.

"You might want to fix that." Xigbar said to Vexen, pointing at the blood pouring from the scientist's forehead.

"Oh, right." Vexen pulled a band aid out of his pocket and slapped it onto his forehead.

"Disney Princess band aids?" Xigbar snorted as the rest of the team laughed.

"What?" Vexen asked, puzzled. He pulled another band aid out of his pocket, and sure enough, it was decorated with the grinning face of Snow White. The Nobody quickly threw the band aid away and curled his lip. "That most definitely isn't mine!" he said with disgust.

"Sure it isn't. It was only in your pocket." Xigbar

"I swear, I have no idea how it got there!" Vexen cried. "I bought normal, plain band aids, not these flowery pieces of--"

"Whoa, language Vexen." Xigbar reminded the Nobody.

As soon as the campsite was in view, Sora ran the rest of the way there, checked his bed for banana slugs, then sat down and began to tear through his prize bag. The first thing he pulled out was…

"A pair of suction cup shoes!" he exclaimed and put the dorkey looking things on. They were even bigger than his normal shoes (which is really saying something) and had a sleek look to them.

"Look guys! Look what I can do!" he shouted as he walked up a tree trunk.

"Sweet!" Xigbar exclaimed, and went searching through his own bag. "Hey! Why don't I have a pair?" he whined.

"Perhaps the prizes differ for each person." Zexion theorized.

Meanwhile, Sora had gone back to looking though his bag. He suddenly gasped and his eyes bulged.

"What is it?" everyone asked curiously.

Sora lifted his hand out of the sack slowly and held up…a chocolate bar!

"It's…chocolate." he murmured reverently.

"Oh no…" Riku moaned. He rushed forward to stop his friend, but was a second too late--Sora had already popped the chocolate into his mouth and swallowed it.

--three minutes later--

Sora on meds is the Sora we all know and love. Sora without his meds is hyperactive, and a bit random. Sora on donuts is a sugar craving, doglike creature. Sora on chocolate chip pancakes is a gluttonous spaz at best. Sora on pure, undiluted chocolate is a mini atomic bomb. The boy's teammates fled for cover from his maniacal laughter and busts of song from The Little Mermaid.

"Dude, I elect you to go back there and stop him." Xigbar announced, clapping Riku on the shoulder.

"Why me?"

"Because you're his friend. Isn't that what friends do?" Demyx asked earnestly.

"Define friend." Riku persisted in his argument.

"Just go do it!" Xigbar commanded, giving the teen a shove in the direction of the camp.

"I'm not going back there until he stops singing. And besides, there isn't anything I can do anyway. We'll just have to wait for the chocolate's effect to wear off."

"How long will that take?" Demyx asked, looking at his inviso-watch.

"Not too long, judging by the size of the chocolate bar." Riku reassured them.

--Not too long later--

The rest of the team had deemed it safe to return to the campsite. What they found astounded them.

Sora had managed to somehow tag everything he could reach 'Choco-man'; there were chunks of concrete scattered all over the place (we won't ask how they got there); there was a suspicious looking red balloon tied to one of the trees.

The mastermind of all of this destruction was lying on his stomach playing with a train set. Hearing the others, he looked up.

"Hey guys! Where've you been?"

"Nowhere special." Zexion answered, stepping forward. "Now, Sora, what did you use to tag our campsite?" the cloaked schemer asked.

"Oh, that? I used those." he answered, pointing to a mound of spray paint cans.

"And you didn't happen to use all of the paint, did you?" Zexion prompted.

"Nope."

Zexion grinned, and even a blind baby could tell that he was in scheming mode.

"Oh no! That's horrible!" Sora exclaimed, startling Zexion.

"What?" he asked.

"Tommy train just found out that his friend, Jack caboose, has been stealing all of his ice cream Sundays!"

"Yes, that really is horrible." Zexion scowled.

"So are you gonna let us in on your plan?" Riku asked.

"I don't see why not." Zexion answered coolly. "If we truly want to be rescued from this place, then our best bet would be to make an SOS sign and hope that someone sees it."

"Excellent plan, my good chap. Now let's set about making a giant sign!" Demyx said happily.

--One giant sign later--

"Whew, that was a radical amount of work!" Xigbar sighed, leaning against a tree trunk.

"Now all we have to do is spray paint it, and we'll be finished." Riku said, wiping his brow and reaching for a can of the paint.

Suddenly, there was a brilliant flash of light and the sound of metal creaking. The light faded, revealing a giant foreign looking UFO type ship.

"Noooo! The paint!" Demyx wailed as he fell to the ground, for the ship had conveniently landed right on top of the heap of spray paint cans. "It's alright--we can still use it!" he laughed a bit deranged like as he tried to gather the spilled paint with his hands.

"Give it up Demy." Xigbar said sadly as he pat the melodious nocturne on the back.

"Who had the nerve to destroy what might have been our only hope of salvation?!" Vexen screamed, getting ready to kick some serious arse.

The door hatch on the ship opened, and mist came spilling from its interior. Then, a strange looking man emerged. He wore some snazzy shades, and a crazy metallic blue and white suit. His hair was black with white and purple streaks in it.

"Whoa! Who are you?" Sora asked, tossing this trains aside.

"I…am from the future!" the man answered melodramatically.

"Wow…" Sora mumbled.

"That's nonsense! There's no such thing as time travel!" Vexen scoffed.

"Believe what you will, but I am here on an important mission." The man said, and scanned the gathered people.

"You!" he said, pointing at Sora.

"Me?" the Keyblade Master asked.

"Yes, you. Your shoes have the power to affect the fate of the future. May I have them?"

Sora gasped. "These shoes?" he asked, gesturing toward his suction cup shoes.

"Affirmative. Now may I have them?"

Sora contemplated for exactly 2 hours before deciding.

"Sure, if it will help the future."

The man from the future woke up from his daze with a snort. "Ah, huh?…Ah yes! Excellent! Now remove them from your feet and place them in my waiting hands." he commanded.

Sora took the shoes off and was about to hand them over. "Hold on--can I have a moment to say goodbye?" he asked.

Future man nodded. "Just don't take too long." he said.

Another 2 hours later…

A sniffling Sora handed his shoes over to Future Man.

"Are you sure you don't want to tell them a goodbye story?" he asked sarcastically.

"Oh! Do you think they would want that?" Sora asked.

"N-no, um, they tell me that they want nothing more than to bid this time period goodbye and be on their way to help save the future." Future man said hastily.

"Oh, alright." Sora said sadly.

Future man turned to climb back into his ship when Demyx called out to him.

"Hold on! Do you have any advise for us from the future?" he asked.

Future man stroked his chin. "Well…don't go to Disneyland--it's not the same as it used to be…stay away from public transportation…and dear God, when Mario Brothers version 36 comes out, do not buy it! I repeat--do not buy it!"

With those cryptic warnings, Future man boarded his ship and blasted away, disappearing into a flash of light.

"I wonder if I'll ever see them again." Sora murmured.

"Who knows. Now lets get some shut eye--I want to have a good nights rest for tomorrow's challenge." Vexen said. He put his face cream on and fell asleep, thinking young and rejuvenating thoughts.
