Authors Note: Hey guys! Bet you got scared that I was going on another yearlong break, huh? Well, that's not the case, so you can rest easy. First off, the reason this wasn't up sooner is because I've been recovering from Warped Tour. Long story short, I got kicked in the head one too many times and suffered a slight concussion, but I'm okay now! First things first thanks to: SpringBorn, angellove123, psychicshipping, and Angel of Randomosity for their reviews. Thanks also to nijy for favoriting! Anyways, obviously, this chapter is short, but Halloween Town is so freaking long and I wanted to post something since it's been a few days. I'm gonna try to have it up by tonight, but it'll probably be really late. If not, look for it tomorrow afternoon. Believe it or not, we're almost done! Halloween Town is the last really long chapter since I'm swapping out the Pride Lands for a bit of plot. After that, the levels and the chapters will start getting shorter and we will be finished! I never thought the day would come! Well, I'll let you guys get on with it. Enjoy!

Pluto, King Mickey's faithful canine companion is a hostage that most people forget about in Kingdom Hearts. I mean Marluxia had to have dognapped him back in Chain of Memories in order for Sora and the gang to follow after him. But, now that the pink haired dude is defeated, Pluto just wanders around aimlessly, hoping that one day, someone will remember his existence and bring him back home.
Wait, what was that noise?
Ears perking up, Pluto followed the spiky, red-haired man down an alleyway. I mean anyone with hair THAT spiky has to know Sora, right? They must have bonded over their obsession with hair gel at some point in time. The man disappeared into a black portal, which closed as Pluto went to take a closer look. Saddened by his lack of rescue, the dog turned away…until a whistle cut through the silence. Running to the direction of the sound, he bounded over to another portal, which he went through without hesitation. Maybe it would lead him home.
Back on Destiny Islands, our resident damsel in distress apparently decided she was slacking and needed to put herself in harms way. Why else would she stare dejectedly out at the ocean, eyes all wistful like?
"Maybe…waiting isn't good enough."
"My thoughts exactly! If you have a dream, don't wait. Act. One of life's little rules. Got it memorized?" A voice seemed to come from everywhere at once and out of a dark corridor stepped everyone's favorite pyromaniac Axel! *cue trumpet fanfare*
"Who are you?" Kairi asked, nervously, eyeing the mans black cloak that seemed to scream 'pedophile'
"Axel." He answered back with a smirk. "I happen to be an acquaintance of Sora's. Why don't we go see him?" He held out a black-gloved hand.
"…Sora?" Kairi weighed her options. Choice one, go with creepy, pedophile looking dude, or choice two, stay on the island and be a disappointment to all of the other distressed damsels before her.
The sound of a barking dog startled her out of her thoughts. And suddenly, there was Pluto bounding out of a dark corridor of unknown origin, looking happy to be around someone who wasn't sending him off with letters. His happiness was sort lived, however because no sooner had he run up to Kairi then they were surrounded by Dusks.
Panicking now, both the girl and the dog turned when they heard a sharp whistle, the same whistle Pluto heard previously. Another unknown dark corridor opened, giving them an escape route. Axel chose this moment to speak.
"You and I have something in common, Kairi. We both miss someone we care about. Hey…I feel like we're friends already."
Chewing her lip, Kairi made her decision and sprinted towards the corridor, making sure she turned around to glare at Axel and say "You're not acting very friendly" in farewell as she chose choice number three, run off into the unknown with only a dog for protection. Way to be.
The inside of a dark corridor is no more inviting than the outside. It's…well…dark.
Seriously, what were you expecting?
"What is this place?" Kairi muttered to either herself or Pluto. With her, either one is fair game.
And, there's that whistle again. Pluto ran off in the direction of it, Kairi following. She caught a glimpse of a figure in one of those black cloaks before she was pulled into a tunnel of blinding light. Then everything faded to black.
"You okay?"
A male voice from somewhere in the immediate area was the first thing she hear as she came to. Opening her eyes, the blurry images of three teens her age came into view. Two boys and a girl.
"What…?" She groaned, head still spinning.
"You and that dog came flying out of a hole in the wall! You nearly gave us heart attacks!"
Gee, Pence. Thanks for your concern.
A/N: Well, that's it for now. If you couldn't tell, I don't like Kairi very much, so sorry to those who do, but you'll have to deal. I will try my absolute hardest to get Halloween Town done for tonight. If not it will be up tomorrow for sure along with a chapter that my friend psychicshipping has been waiting for ;) Until then!
