We boarded the ship rather hastily. Sora and Goofy loaded up all of their supplies into the supply cupboard and Donald started the ship up. Nessa and I stood around not really knowing what to do. I was standing rather close behind Donald and watching him work the controls of the ship and when I turned around to mention something to Nessa she was gone.
"Hey—," I looked around for her. She was back near the broom cupboard, picking up all the cleaning supplies and setting them back in neatly. I looked at her for a moment. Nessa was always a neat freak. Everything had to look nice, if it wasn't hers, and she was a guest in that house. So once she had that hallway cleaned up she moved to the kitchen and started working on the kitchen area. I sighed. "So Donald…"
"Yeah?" He said slowly.
"How do you fly a Gummy ship?" I asked, sitting down in the seat next to him. He looked at me for a moment.
"It's really easy, you hold onto this stick here and usually the ship does exactly what you want it to do unless it knows for a fact the odds of doing it are impossible and will definitely destroy you," He explained.
"What happens when the overdrive kicks in?"
"When the overdrive kicks in the ship tries to take you to the nearest none heartless infested area and keep you there until the danger follows or goes away all together."
"What if you really needed to get through a hopeless situation and the ship won't let you."
"Then you just pull these cords down here." He pointed to a set of red cords just below the dashboard. "But don't be surprised if your ship has a defense system because that's also the non-manual wires. Once you pull them you're on your own steering the ship."
I sat up in the cockpit with Donald for a while. We talked about the Gummy Ship and Magic for most of the flight. Mostly the heartless weren't too bad. A few large ships full of them would fly past and once while I was looking out into the darkness of space I thought I saw a pirate ship sailing behind a world, but I shook the image out of my head. It was too weird, even for most of these worlds, how would they breathe?
When Donald got a little hungry I offered to go back and get him something to eat. As I walked back through the hallways I could hear Goofy and Sora yelling about it being so clean and looking so nice. When I walked into the kitchen every surface shone with cleaner and some unknown, sweet scent filled the air.
"Wow this does look nice," I said. She smiled at me and Goofy and Sora looked up at me. "Just coming to get Donald some food," I explained. I started to rummage through the cupboards.
"EVERYBODY GET YOUR SEAT BELTS ON!" Donald yelled from the cockpit. Immediately Sora, Goofy, and Nessa were strapped to their chairs at the table. I sprinted to the cockpit, getting knocked into a wall as something hit the side of the ship and sent it on its side. I was near the ceiling when Donald righted the ship and I was thrown to the floor.
"OWW. Bitch." I muttered, standing up and sprinting the rest of the way to my chair in the cockpit. I strapped myself in just as the giant blue whale.
"WHALE?" I exclaimed.
"Monstro," Some little voice said from next to me. I screamed, seeing a cricket standing on the dashboard in front of me. He wore a jacket and a hat. The pirate ship in space was now possible.
"Monstro?" The whale was coming straight for us, its giant teeth spread so far apart I was sure it could swallow an entire world. The ship started to back up but we didn't have enough speed. The giant jaws surrounded us and surrounded us in darkness.

"Nessa?" I called into the darkness. I could see a little bit of a red light, glowing above the exit door. "Nessa?" I called again, this time my voice a little bit stronger. I got a groan in response from down the hallway. I slowly reached around with my hands unbuckled myself from the seat. I fell forward onto my face, hitting the dashboard with enough force to have possibly broken my nose.
I stood up slowly; swaying side to side with the effort, my head was killing me. I tired to keep from throwing up my lunch as I pulled up the long wall to reach Nessa in the kitchen, which I think was now located in the air. Once I hauled myself up there I spotted Nessa still strapped into her chair with a stream of blood running from her head. Great, I muttered. I lugged myself up onto the wall of the kitchen.
"Come on Nessa wake up." I said, reaching up to unbuckle her from the chair. I almost had my hand around the clasp when she suddenly grabbed my hand. I screamed.
"Don't do that!" She said, wiggling herself so she faced me.
"What? Why not?" I asked, trying to get my arm back.
"I'll fall straight down into the cockpit," She explained.
"Oh. Then what do you want me to do?"
"Rotate the table."
"How the hell do I do that?" I asked, looking around for a switch or something on the wall.
"Just push my chair so my back is facing the cockpit." She released my hand and I grabbed the top of her chair and shoved down as hard as I could. The chair only moved a little bit. I kept shoving. "Wait, wait, wait!" She called. I kept shoving. She smacked my arm and tried to keep me from shoving, but I ignored her. She reached her hand under the table and suddenly all the chairs came loose.
I was still holding on to the side of the chair as it raced halfway up the other side of the table and then raced back down so I was hanging on the back, looking into the cockpit.
"What'd you do that for?" I yelled. Trying to reach the wall with my foot now.
"I didn't do it. I told you to stop!" She argued. The chair started moving and my feet were a few inches above the wall when I jumped off. She was slammed back over the hallway again. Now she unbuckled her seatbelt, blood still dripping from her head wound.
"What about your head?" I asked.
"Head wounds bleed a lot," She muttered. Now she was leaning over the side of the chair with her face a few feet above mine. "Please push my feet closer to that wall." So I reached up and pushed the tip of the chair into the air and she slowly slid down onto the wall. "Let's go!" And we slid down the hallway like it was a giant slide.
