Petal Meadows (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

Mario and Goombella jumped out of the Warp Pipe and looked at the scenery. "Nice place." Mario said. "Indeed, much more better than Rogueport." Goombella smiled.

Sora jumped out of the warp pipe and landed on his feet perfectly. "Ah, this place smells WAY better than Rogueport!" Sora smiled. Suddenly, Donald and Goofy jumped out and landed right on Sora. "We got to stop doing this..." Sora muttered.

Goofy took a deep breath once they got up and smiled. "Gawrsh, it's more peaceful, quiet and beautiful than Rogueport!" He smiled.

A Dragon in the Sky (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Did anyone hear that?" Sora asked, when suddenly Goombella screamed. "LOOK AT THAT!" She yelled as they looked up to see a humongous Dragon flying above them. "Mama mia!" Mario exclaimed.

The Dragon flew over them as it flew directly to its castle far away. "Holy crap, that's...a freaking dragon!" Sora exclaimed. "No duh, Sherlock. I'm just glad the dragon didn't barbeque me." Donald said, shuddering from the thought.

Petal Meadows

"Well, it WAS peaceful until we saw that Dragon." Goofy said. "Well, at least it's gone." Goombella said as they started walking forward.

"I wonder what this is." Sora wondered as he looked at some strange rock formations. "Who cares, let's just get away from here before that dragon cooks us all alive." Donald said. "I guess someone is a little scared." Sora teased. "Oh shut it." Donald muttered as they walked away.

"This is really cool." Sora said as they were looking around. "Mama mia, this is more beautiful than the Mushroom Kingdom." Mario said. "You really think so?" Goombella asked. "Yep." Mario nodded.

"Uh oh, we got trouble." Goofy said as he pointed to a Goomba, Paragoomba and Spiky Goomba coming right for them.

"I got this." Sora said as he pulled out his Ultima and used Eruption, sending them away. "Well, I was going to stomp on them and hammer them, but that works too." Mario said as Sora smiled and put his Ultima away.

"Well how are we going to get across this?" Goombella wondered as they came across a stream. "Simple, we jump over it!" Donald exclaimed as he backed up and then ran forward and jumped, however the stream was wider than he thought as he landed in the water. "Well that didn't work." Sora said.

Suddenly, Donald shot out of the water, screaming in pain as he faceplanted, revealing some sort of fish biting down on his tail. "What the hell is that?" Sora wondered as he used Magnega to pull the fish out of Donald's tail and put it back in the water.

"Hey, are we going to do something about that?" Mario asked as Donald's tail feathers were long gone. "Oh, he's not going to like that." Sora said as he used Curaga on Donald.

"Hey fellers, I think that switch over there will do something." Goofy said as he pointed to a blue switch. "Hmm, wouldn't hurt to try." Sora said as he aimed the Ultima at it and fired Blizzaga Pursuit at it.

As soon as the Blizzaga Pursuit hit the switch, a bridge suddenly popped into existence. "Well that works." Sora said, putting his Keyblade away as they walked across the bridge and into the town.

Petalburg (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Welcome to Petalburg!" A Koopa exclaimed, welcoming them into Petalburg. "We don't get visitors that often, considering that blasted Hooktail scaring off the damned tourists."

"Hooktail? You talking about that monstrous red dragon we saw earlier?" Mario asked. "You met Hooktail?!" Koopa exclaimed in shock. "Wow, I'm surprised you weren't cooked alive, especially the duck, he would've been roasted duck!" "Hey..." Donald muttered, giving him a death glare.

"We're just passing through, looking for a Crystal Star." Sora explained. "Crystal Star..." Koopa put his hand on his chin in thought. "You might want to ask the mayor about it, he lives in a big red house. Can't miss it." He said. "Thanks." Sora said as they walked away.

"Oh my god! You're Mario and Sora! I play your games and they are AWESOME!" A little Toad suddenly exclaimed in delight. "Games?" Sora raised an eyebrow in confusion as Goofy and Donald just shrugged. "I don't know about these games you're talking about, but I guess we got a fan." Mario said as they continued walking away.

"Hey, I think that's the Mayor's house." Goombella said as she looked at it. "Hey, that could be it." Sora said as they walked up to it and walked right in, seeing an old Koopa sitting on a couch.

Laughter and Merriment (Kingdom Hearts II)

"Hmm? Who goes there?" The mayor asked. "Hiya." Sora waved as Mario did the same thing.

"Could you be thieves? Don't hurt this old Koopa! Here! Take my photos of my wife! Or do you want money? Do you want my shell? Take it! I never liked this old thing anyways!"

"No no no, we're not thieves; we're looking for a Crystal Star!" Mario explained, trying to calm the old Koopa down. "Ooooh, why didn't you speak up? Kids these days...they never speak up. By the way, I was lying about my shell." He said. "Also, the name's Kroop."

"I'm Mario, and this is Sora." Mario said. "What's that? Did you say Murphy and Sophie? Odd name for a boy, if you asked me." "Murphy?" Mario raised an eyebrow. "SOPHIE?!" Sora yelled in shock as anime tears ran down his eyes while Goofy and Donald were silently chuckling to themselves while Goombella was trying to hold in a laugh.

"It's Mario and Sophi-I mean Sora. We're looking for the Crystal Stars." Mario explained. "Murphy and Sophie, nice names even though Sophie is considered a girl's name. You must get teased a lot." Kroop said as Sora facepalmed to this.

"Now the Crystal Star...if my old brain can remember where that blasted thing is... oh right! It's at Hooktail's castle!" Kroop explained. "We seriously have to go back to that castle?" Donald asked.

"Now hold on, before you go, you need to have two special keys. They are at Shhwonk Fortress." "Shhwhatnow?" Sora asked. "Shhwonk Fortress, Sophie." Kroop smiled. "Must...hold in...a laugh." Mario thought to himself.

"Now skedaddle! Get those keys!" Kroop ordered as they nodded and walked out the door. Once the door was closed, Kroop could hear everyone laughing but Sora. "Shhwonk Fortress isn't a funny name." He said.

"Yeah yeah, laugh it up. Just wait until some Elderly person calls you a girl's name." Sora said, glaring at Mario. "Like that would ever happen." Mario said, wiping a tear from his eye as they walked to the gate in front of them.

"This place is out of bounds! It's dangerous out there." The Koopa said. "We got permission to go forward." Sora explained. "Really? Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you." He said as he opened the gate.

"Um, excuse me." Said a voice as they turned to see a young Koopa walking up to them. "I would like to tell you something." He said. "What is it?" Sora asked.

"Well um...uh...I...oh you know what? Forget it." He said as he turned around and walked away. "Okay, weird." Sora said as they turned to Shhwonk Fortress.

"Ladies first." Mario teased as Sora got really annoyed by this as he took out his Ultima and used Thundaga on Mario. "YOOOOOOW!" He yelled as Sora angrily walked away as the others followed Sora.

"Worth it!" Mario exclaimed, pointing a finger up in the air.
