Rogueport (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

As soon as they got into town, Sora's SP Mailbox went off as he opened it up to read it.

"Dear Sora, so we STILL don't know where the hell we are, but we have a friend over here that is a computer. His name is TEC and he's just so silly sometimes. He's been telling us everything about the X Freaks, Grodus and Xemnas while he's analyzing the data that we found in Grodus' room. Once he's done, we'll be able to figure out how to get out of here. Don't get into too much trouble, alright? Love you! – Love, Kairi." Sora read.

"Aww, she loves you." Donald teased as Sora rolled his eyes.

"Yeah yeah, whatever." Sora said.

"Why Sora, are you blushing?" Goofy asked.

"Ooooh, he's turning red." Donald teased as Sora just glared at them.

"This TEC dude seems nice." Yoshi said as they walked to the door.

The Thousand Year Door (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Quick question, how old is this door?" Bobbery asked.

"A thousand years old." Lightning told him.

"Interesting, it even has the same red color for a thousand years." Bobbery said as Mario stepped on the pedestal, causing the lights to shine bright. "I say, that light is really bright." He said.

The map lowered to Mario as they all went to him to look to see what will pop up on the map.

Some sort of building popped up on the lower right part of the map, as some trees popped up with it as well. "Where does that lead to?" Mario wondered.

"I dunno, but maybe Frankly will know." Sora said as they ran off.

Professor Frankly (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Great news, my friends!" Frankly exclaimed as they got back. "This next Crystal star leads to Poshley Heights!" He said.

"Poshley Heights? Isn't that where all the rich and famous people live?" Goombella asked.

"Yes, it is. The Crystal Star is in the Poshley Sanctum and the only way to get to Poshley Heights is by the most famous train of all time, the Excess Express!" Frankly smiled.

"Oh, that sounds like a cool train." Sora said.

"It is, it's the most luxurious train ever. Instead of back-breaking work trying to get to the Crystal Star, this will pretty easy!" Frankly said.

"Awesome!" Koops exclaimed. "So quick question, how long is the train ride?"

"Three days." Frankly said. "Three days to kick back and relax." He smiled.

"Sounds good enough to me." Mario said.

"However, there's a problem. The only way to get tickets is by Don Pianta himself." Frankly said.

"Him again?" Sora asked.

"Wait, isn't he one of the most toughest and meanest Pianta ever?" Vivian asked.

"Yep...so...good luck, I guess." Frankly said as they walked out.

Rogueport

"So he's mean, huh?" Lightning asked.

"You have no idea." Sora replied.

"I'm sure he's not that bad." Bobbery said as they walked to Don Pianta's house.

"Oh he's bad...trust me." Mario said as they walked through the item shop and up the stairs.

As soon as they got inside, they saw Don Pianta on a bed with the other two Pianta's looking at him.

Laughter and Merriment (Kingdom Hearts II)

"What happened to him?" Sora asked.

Tony looked at Sora and sighed. "Ever since Francesca and Frankie left an got married, the boss got sick with worry, worried that he'd never see those lovebirds again after what he said." He explained.

"I'm just wondering where those two lovebirds went." Vinny said.

"Hey, we know where they are. They're at Keelhaul Key." Goofy said.

"Who's at the WHAT now?!" Vinny exclaimed.

"They're at Keelhaul Key." Lightning said.

"You serious? What are you standing around there for? Go get them!" Vinny exclaimed. "We'll keep an eye on the boss!"

"Right, see ya." Sora said as they walked out of the building.

"Oh great, we're going back there?!" Lightning exclaimed, not sure how to deal with it.

"We'll be there before you know it, Lightning." Bobbery said.

One trip to the Rogueport Docks later...

"What's that? You want to go to Keelhaul Key?" Cortez asked.

"Yeah." Mario said.

"Alright, amigo! Let's head off!" Cortez exclaimed as the ship sailed off to Keelhaul Key.

Keelhaul Key (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

The ship landed at Keelhaul Key several hours later. "How come it didn't take three days to get here?" Sora wondered.

"Ah, my ship is the fastest in the world." Cortez explained.

"Ah, okay." Yoshi said as they walked out of the ship...and Vivian and Koops were behind, supporting Lightning.

"Let's see...where are those two?" Mario asked as he turned to Lightning, Vivian and Koops. "She okay?"

"I think she needs to rest after that trip." Koops said as Lightning nodded as they sat her down near the camp.

"What are you guys doing here?" Pa-Patch asked as he walked to them.

"Came to get Frankie and Francesca." Sora explained.

"Ah, if you're looking for them, the lovebirds are over there." He said, pointing to the direction.

"Alright, thanks." Sora said as they all ran off while Vivian and Koops stayed behind.

"Poor girl, I have never seen a girl getting sea-sick this much." Koops said.

"I think it's the waves." Vivian said.

"Where is that darn thing?" Frankie asked, looking through some grass.

"Is it over here?" Francesca wondered as she looked behind a tree. "Nope..."

"Hey guys." Sora said as they turned to the voice.

"Hey Sora!" Frankie waved.

"What are you doing?" Donald asked.

Laughter and Merriment

"Trying to find my wedding ring, I think it slipped off my finger when we walking around the island." Frankie said.

"Well, Don Pianta is sick." Mario said.

"WHAT?! HE'S SICK?!" Francesca exclaimed.

"We have to go there right now; I can't stand to hear about the boss being sick."

"Whoa! What about the wedding ring? I thought you loved me!" Francesca exclaimed.

"I do, but right now, the boss is sick and we need to go there right now."

"Nuh uh! Not until we find the ring and you need to say 'I love you' one hundred times." She said.

"ONE HUNDRED TIMES?! Babe, you can't be serious."

"I'm serious. Start saying it." She said.

Frankie sighed at this. "Women..." He muttered. "I love you." He said.

Ninety nine "I love you's" later...

"There...one hundred..." He said.

Francesca giggled at this. "You know, I was just messing with you. One 'I love you' would've worked too you know." She winked at him.

"Then what was with the one hundred 'I love you' crap, you crazy woman?!"

"That's what couples do." Francesca said. "They love to tease each other." She giggled.

"Hey...where did everyone go?" Frankie asked as they looked around, as everyone was long gone.

"Hey." Yoshi said, grabbing their attention as Mario tossed the ring to Frankie.

"While you were saying 'I love you' one hundred times, we decided to go get the ring." Mario said with an annoyed expression. "I've done many sidequests after I rescued Peach in the Mushroom Kingdom, but this sidequest was the most annoying one ever." He muttered.

"Uh, sorry." Frankie said, smiling innocently as they walked back to Cortez's ship.

"Feeling better?" Koops asked.

"I am now." Lightning replied with a smile.

"Alright, we're going back to Rogueport." Sora said.

"Oh hell..." Lightning muttered.

"Forgive me..." Vivian said as she karate chopped the back of Lightning's neck.

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR?!" Koops yelled, panicking.

"She'll sleep through the cruise. I can't stand anyone being sick." Vivian explained. "Besides, she's suffered through the ocean enough already. She needs a break."

"Well I was going to treat her...but that works too...I guess." Mario said.

"I'm still pleased she came along with us." Bobbery said as Sora picked up Lightning and put her on his shoulder as they ran back to Cortez' ship.

"Did she get really sick or something?" Cortez asked, looking at Lightning.

"Nah, Vivian put her out of her misery for this trip." Koops said with a sweatdrop.

"Okay then...let's set sail back to Rogueport amigos!" Cortez exclaimed as the ship sped off back to Rogueport.

Rogueport

The ship immediately stopped at Rogueport. "I'M COMING DADDY!" Francesca yelled as she ran off.

"Hey! Don't you mean 'we'?" Frankie asked as he ran after her.

Lightning woke up, only for her to see the ground. "Huh?" She wondered as she looked behind to see Sora carrying her. "HEY! I CAN WALK YOU KNOW!" She yelled right in his ear.

"OW!" Sora yelled, putting his hand to his ear...and accidentally dropping Lightning, making her faceplant.

"Honestly, why were you holding me like that?" She asked as she used Curaga on herself.

"Basically, Vivian karate chopped your neck to put you out of your misery from all that sea sickness." Koops explained.

"Oh...thanks." Lightning said as Vivian smiled at this while they walked in Don Pianta's.

Kairi (Kingdom Hearts II)

"Boss! Wake up!" Frankie exclaimed.

"Daddy, it's me." Francesca said.

"...Francesca?" Don Pianta asked as he woke up. "Oh, you came back. I didn't mean any of those words I meant back then." He said.

"We're here now. There's no need to be sick anymore." Francesca said.

Suddenly, Don Pianta jumped out of bed with a couple of frontflips and landed perfectly. "Whoa." Vinny and Tony said at the same time.

"You know, this whole boss thing is stressing me out, I'm going to retire." He said.

"WHAT?!" The other Piantas exclaimed.

"Yep, it's about time to. Every time I get stressed, I get angry. Well NOT ANYMORE!" He exclaimed as he looked at Sora and the others. "Oh, hello. What are you here for?"

"Excess Express." Sora replied.

"How many tickets? One? Two? Here, have 'em all!" He smiled as he gave them all a ticket and then turned to Frankie. "I'm leaving you in charge. Later!" He exclaimed as he walked out the door.

"What just...happened?" Frankie asked.

"He put you in charge now. Don't worry, we'll work together." Francesca smiled.

"Hey! Don't forget us!" Vinny exclaimed while Sora and the others walked out.

Rogueport

"Okay, that was random." Sora said as they walked through the item shop.

"Hey, at least we can go get the Crystal Star at Poshley Heights now." Yoshi said.

"So, it's at Poshley Heights, eh?" a voice asked.

"Oh no." Vivian said as Beldam popped up in front of them.

Shadow Sirens (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Hello, my uglies. And Vivian, such a shame to see you side with the enemy, you ugly son of a bitch." She said, as Vivian's eye twitched.

"Shut up, Beldam." Sora said, taking out his Ultima.

"This is where I'd end you right about now, but I got other things to do like get the Crystal Star." Beldam said. "And Vivian, I got one thing to say to you. You are going to be severely punished once we meet again."

"You know what, Beldam? No. I've had enough of your punishments, and I think it's time I returned the favor for it is you who will be punished." Vivian said with annoyance as she held out her hand.

"Ha! What are you going to do, burn me?" Beldam asked. "You couldn't even burn Sora."

"That's exactly what I'm going to do." She said as she snapped her fingers, as Beldam suddenly burst into flames.

"YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" She yelled. "I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!" She screamed as she sunk deep into the earth.

Rogueport

"I feel MUCH better now." Vivian smiled as they ran to the station.

"You guys headed to Poshley Heights?" The Toad conductor asked as they got to the train.

"Yeah." Sora said.

"Alright, let me just check the tickets." He said as he looked at each one. "Alright, go on in." He said as they walked in.

Excess Express (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"ALL ABOOOOOOOOOOOOOARD!" He yelled as the train started up and took off to Poshley Heights.

Take THAT, Beldam!
