Journeys

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy or Disney or any of the characters, except for my OC Nami.

Author's Note: This isn't a full chapter like the others. It's much shorter, as I'm sure you noticed. (Very very short, more like a drabble than a chapter.) I'm planning to do these sorts of chapters in between worlds. Short little chapters to explain what happens on the Gummi Ship and reveal the location of the next world. The chapter after this may take a bit of time coming out, I still have to write it. But for now, I hope you enjoy.

Summary: My name is Nami. I'm nineteen years old and a Keyblade Bearer. It wasn't always this way. Four years ago, I couldn't have even told you what a keyblade was. That was before my life was changed completely.

It started with a boy and ended – no, it hasn't ended yet. Because this is my story, and it won't end until I let it. It won't end until I find the boy who started it all.


Chapter 3: Interlude – Aboard the Gummi Ship

Paine was sitting on the dashboard of the gummi ship, watching Kairi instruct Nami on how to summon a Keyblade. At the moment, Kairi was explaining the stance that Nami should have. Nami was attempting to follow Kairi's instruction, but was having difficulties. After attempting to get in the proper stance for what seemed like forever, Nami slumped down into one of the chairs. "Maybe I just can't use a Keyblade," she said, sighing.

"I suppose that's possible," Kairi said, sitting down in the chair next to Nami and biting her lip. "After all, your world doesn't have Keyblades, and I'm not sure if everyone can use them or not."

"Just my luck. Well, I'm sorry that I'm such a hopeless case. I wasted your time," Nami rested her chin on her hand, and looked out the front window at the stars surrounding the Gummi Ship.

Kairi smiled. "It wasn't a waste of time," she said. "It was actually very good practice for me. We can try again later after you're less stressed out. For now, let's figure out our destination. It looks like the closest world is this one." Kairi pulled up an image of a world that looked covered with a checkerboard on the screen. "Looks interesting, want to go check it out?"

Paine looked down at the screen. "Looks like Wonderland. Sounds like a good place to start looking for those two."

Nami racked her brain for what she knew about Wonderland. The answer was not much. But as she had no idea where Riku and Sora would go, this seemed as good a place to start as any. "Has Sora been here before, Kairi?" she asked.

Kairi thought about this for a second before responding. "Mmm… I think so. I think one of the other Princesses of Heart lives here as well. So maybe we'll have a chance to visit her. So Nami, the final say is up to you?"

Nami felt both the pixie and the girl's eyes on her, and she shrugged. "Might as well," she said. "Let's go to Wonderland!"
