Chapter Three: Return to the Dwarf Woodlands

"AAAAHH!" the three screamed before crashing to the ground.

"UPH!"

"UGH!"

"GAH!"

"Jeez! What just happen?" Kilala asked.

"Ugh! Ask me again when the world stops spinning" Jason said as his eyes widen looking to Princess Snow White at a table having tea with the Seven waves all looking at them.

"I know you! Your Princess Snow White!" Jason said.

"Oh my!" Snow White said rushing over to see if they were hurt, "hello, what's your names?"

"I'm Kilala."

"Jason" he said bowing.

"What lovely names!" Snow White said as the Seven Dwarves hid behind a tree.

Is she your friend?" Doc asked.

"I don't know her! Be careful Snow White!" Grumpy said.

"Just like in Terra, Aqua and Ven journals! You're the Seven Dwarves Doc" Jason said pointing to the one in glasses, "you're obviously Grumpy" Jason said pointing to the one in red, "ah your Bashful" Jason said pointing to the shy one then heard one yawn then one sneeze "Sleepy and Sneezy, you with the big smile must be Happy and your Dopey! Oh I missed one...I don't remember that one" Jason said looking to one as Kilala and Jason eyes widen to see it was Rei that got turned into a dwarf with the hat on his head.

"R...Rei?! You're a Dward?! PFFFFT!" Kilala laughed.

"Like you're one to talk! Take a look at yourself!" Rei yelled as Kilala looked down at her clothes to see she was also turned into a dwarf.

"Huh? NO WAY!"

"I guess I lucked out" Jason said seeing he was still in his normal clothes and height.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Kilala asked.

"DON'T ASK ME!" Rei yelled.

"How come you didn't get transformed?!" Kilala asked.

"How should I know!" Jason said.

"They're weird" Sleepy said.

"They don't seem like bad people to me" Happy said.

"The girl is pretty cute" Bashful said.

"Don't let them fool you! Never trust a woman! Why she might be the witch in disguise again!" Grumpy yelled.

"Who's a witch?!" Kilala yelled making a fist.

"Oh come now, they're Dwarves just like you! Now get back to work" Snow White said kissing Grumpy head.

"Hmmm when you put it that way..." Grumpy said as the dwarves picked up their pickaxes.

"Make sure nothing happens to Snow White!" Grumpy yelled as the Dwarves moved down the trail.

"Good bye!" Snow White said waving.

"Snow White do you remember Terra, Aqua and Ven?" Jason asked.

"Why yes! Ven was so kind to me and Aqua helped the Dwarves find a way to wake me from my sleep" Snow White said.

"And Terra?"

"Oh dear I met him in the flower field then those monster appeared and I ran" she said.

"I see wait that was ten years ago" Jason said.

"No it was only one year ago" Snow White said.

'Looks like my time zone theory for each world is correct' Jason thought.

"Okay, can you three help me and my forest friends clean?" Snow White asked as they approached the Dwarves Cottage.

"Sure we got time" Jason said.

"Let's hum a merry tune"Snow White as she hummed a tune as she washed the dishes.

"No! Don't lick it clean!" Jason said trying to take a plate from a Squirrel from him.

"Just whistle while you work. And cheerfully together we can tidy up the place. So hum a merry tune hmm hmm hmmm it won't take long when there's a song to help you set the pace and as you sweep the room, imagine that a broom is someone that you, love and soon you'll find you're dancing to the tune."

"Hey! Hey!" Jason said taking a dirty dish, "like this" he said using a wrap to wash it clean in the tub as Kilala did laundry, Rei dusted and Snow White swept.

"When hearts are high, the time will fly so whistle while you work."

"Hmm hmm hmm" Jason hummed as he put clean dishes away.

"Hmmm hmmm hmm" Kilala hummed putting away clean clothes.

"Nice job" Jason said looking at the bouquet of flowers the birds made.

"Still...don't princesses usually live in castles? Why are you cleaning up a dump like this?" Rei asked.

"Well this is a really special place to me, if it weren't for the dwarves I'd be a goner!" Snow White said.

"What?!" Rei said.

"From what I collected from Terra, Snow White had a jealous stepmother, the Queen. One day the Queen found out Snow White was more beautiful than her so she ordered Terra to take Snow White Heart! That's when Snow White ran into the forest alone when Unversed attacked her and Terra" Jason said.

"I was so scared, I couldn't see a thing! I scared everyone in the forest but Ven came and he was so kind to me and so were all the animals, they took me to the Dwarves home where they welcome me into their home, that's why I come back sometimes because I have special friends in these woods" Snow White said petting a Fawn.

'Friends...'Kilala thought.

"Kilala?" Rei said as they all noticed her sadden face.

"What's wrong?" Snow White asked.

"My friend was taken away! My best friend she was always there for me...Please Snow White! Do you have any idea where she is? We have to save her as soon as we can!" Kilala said as tears came from her eyes, "we...have to."

"Oh" Snow White said hugging her, "don't cry, she'll be all right, believe. If you believe, your dream will come true."

"Okay."

'She's so warm, wrapped in her warmth I suddenly feel like I'll find Erica, thank you Snow White' Kilala thought.

"Let's make a pie to cheer you up! I'll go get the ingredient" Snow White said heading out the front door.

"We've reached a dead end, what now? Where could Erica be?" Kilala said.

"I'll go search for some clues you stay here with Snow White" Rei said.

"Rei?!"

"The tiara led us here, there must be something in this world" Rei said.

"But it's dangerous! You don't know anything about this place!" Kilala said.

"Don't worry, everyone here lived Happily Ever After right? But still I wonder how the Queen figured out who was more beautiful?" Rei said.

"Oh that's easy, Terra said there was a Magic Mirror in the Queen lair that told her everything she needed to know" Jason said.

"..."

"THAT'S IT!" the three said.

Later Snow White returned with a basket full of apples to see the house empty, "oh? Where did they go?"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Maybe we should've left a message she might worry, we didn't even ask where the castle is" Rei said.

"Relax, from what I know about this world we need to go through the creepy woods, past the flower meadow and then we reach the castle" Jason said.

"This way!" Kilala said as they entered the woods.

"HOOT!" and owl said.

"AHHHH!" Kilala screamed bumping into a tree as bats flew out of it, "AHHHHH!"

"It's dark! The trees!" Kilala said seeing the trees have eyes "HELP!"

"Here" Rei said holding out his hand, "take my hand don't fall behind" he said taking her hand.

"R-right!" Kilala said.

"Uh guys these aren't trees!" Jason said seeing the Heartless symbol on the trees coming towards them.

(A.N. now search Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep Music - Dwarf Woodlands Battle Theme [extend] for the battle theme.)

"AHH!" Kilala screamed.

"Just stay behind me!" Jason said as he headed towards a tree.

"Ha! Ya! Rah!" Jason yelled attacking the Heartless, "Rah! Ha! Ya! Take this!" Jason yelled using White Calm to turn the tree into hearts that flew into sky.

"This way!" Jason said waving to Rei and Kilala as they ran over and Jason ran ahead at another tree.

"Rah! Ha! Ya! Firaga!" Jason yelled taking out another tree as they rushed ahead and Jason sliced more Heartless that appeared.

"Come on!" Jason yelled using White Calm again as they saw the light, "this way!" he said as they ran to the flower meadow.

"Hey Jason what woke Snow White up from the poison apple sleep she was put in?" Kilala asked.

"The prince's love broke the spell with a kiss" Jason said.

"Oh really? Hey! Speaking of, didn't you try to kiss me when I was sleeping?" Rei asked looking at Kilala.

"WHAT?! HOW DID YOU KNOW?! HOW?!"

"Uh-oh" Rei said.

"Dude a little word of advice from a man of experience, never bring that kind of topic up unless you're in a relationship" Jason said.

"I'M SO EMBRASSED! STUPID, STUPID REI!" Kilala yelled running off.

"Hey! Wait up!" Rei yelled.

"I hate you!"
