-Chapter 4-

On the way to Marituga, Alex told the crew stories of the adventures she had been on with Sora, Donald, and Goofy. She told them what Atlantis was like (Although Cece already had some what of the same picture since she was an Atlantian princess). She talked about the castle's she had seen, and who she's gotten to meet. She talked about Xehanort and how long they been chasing him.

"Crogar don't like this 'Xehanort', Crogar wants to smash him!" Crogar exclaimed.

Alex shook her head. "He's the least of your worries, you guys. As long he or the Darkness don't attack you, you'll be fine."

Cece pondered. "I hear you talk a lot of Sora. Are you close to him?"

Alex rubbed the back of her head nervously. "Um, I mean, we're pretty close friends, but that's about it…" Cece frowned.

"Well, can you tell us where you're from?" Cece asked.

"Oh sure, the U.S" Everyone blankly stared at her except Zak.

"What is the 'U.S.'?" Caramba asked.

"She's from the same place I am." Zak replied.

"You're from America?" Alex asked.

Zak nodded. "Yeah, Hawaii."

"Wow, I've never been there, what's it like?"

"Well," Zak began. "It's got awesome waters and of course, there are volcanos. It's pretty much what you see in the pictures. What state are you from?" Zak asked.

"South Carolina." Alex replied.

"Wow, South Carolina. Never been there."

Clovis popped up out of nowhere. "We're here!" Alex looked up to see Marituga.

"Whoa. Small, but cool looking island. What is this place?" She asked.

"This is Marituga. We come here a lot to eat or to see a friend."

"Nice! Can we explore first?" Alex asked.

Cece gave her a questioning look. "Aren't you ready to get back to your friends?"

Alex rolled her eyes. "Geez, trying to get rid of me already? Look, I'm constantly on a mission, and I never get to explore or relax. Let me take this chance too. I kind of want to explore the island."

"I understand. We constantly are on missions and don't get to relax. I think we should take this time to explore with you, Alex." Cece said, then turned to Zak. "What do you think, Captain?"

It didn't take long for him to answer. "Yeah, I agree, we should take this time to relax." Alex grinned and nodded.

"Where should we go first?" Caramba asked.

"Food. I'm starving." Alex said. Everyone hopped off the boat and walked up the steps.

"This is amazing, it's like walking in the past!" Alex looked around in amazement.

"That's what I thought when I came here for the first time too!" Alex grinned at him and continued to walk.

"I'm off. I need to get more tools to install in my suit." Caramba wondered off.

"I going to. I going to find a book that has more information about Keyblades." Cece said. Zak nodded. Crogar followed Cece, leaving Zak and Alex by themselves.

"So I suppose we go get something to eat?" Alex nodded.

"Don't even think about calling this a date. I barely know you."

Zak put his hands up in defense. "Wasn't going too." The two teens continued to walk up the stairs, but stopped when a tall boy stood in their way.

Alex didn't looked amused. "Who are you?"

"I'm Denis. What's a good looking girl like you doing here?" Alex rolled her eyes.

"That's not what you should be worrying about. You should be worrying about getting out of our way." Alex retorted.

"Ooh, you're a feisty one. Is your boyfriend going to protect you?" Denis taunted.

"Excuse me? I'm not dating anyone. And I can protect myself." Alex shot back.

"Hmm, since you're single, come with me then. This street rat isn't anything with his stupid sword." Denis said.

Zak looked so offended. Alex just sighed.

"Get out of our way." She said flatly.

"Make me." Denis said.

Alex just shrugged. "You asked for it." She grabbed her bat and rested it on her shoulder.

Denis pretended to be scared. "Ooh, I'm so scared. What, you're going to hit me with your little bat? Try to knock me down with your girly strength?"

Alex walked up to him. Denis frowned slightly, wondering what she was up to. She took her fist and punched upward into his jaw. Denis stumbled back, rubbing his jaw while looking stunned.

"Want to test my girly strength now?" Alex asked. Denis scooted backwards, trying to stand up. He got to his feet and took off running.

"You better run, you jerk!" Alex slung bat back onto her back.

"You are hardcore." Zak told her.

"Look, I hate it when someone makes fun of my friends." Alex replied.

Zak looked surprise. "You consider me a friend?"

Alex sort of shrugged. "Well, you all have decided to help get out of this crazy place. So I consider you a friend."

"Um, cool…" Zak's face was slightly red. Alex just smirked and turned to continue walking.

"Let's keep going." She said.

A/N

Chapter 4 is out, yayy. I've got so much to do. Working on this story and school. I'm actually planning on starting a Youtube channel, so I'm very excited about it. I'm going to be doing animations and speedpaints, so keep an eye out for another a/n talking about my channel. And going out to nathan19bane's review on chapter 3, yes, I'm shipping Alex and Sora together. I apologize if you ship Sora with someone else (Technically, I do too, but in this storyline, it's going to be him and Alex). This chapter didn't really have much to it, I'm sorry about that, but I hope you all enjoyed it, and I hope to see you in the next time. Remember that reviews and ideas are welcome! Love ya'll!
