"Princess Peach!" Olivia called. "I have to speak to you! And you also have guests."

Peach walked out of a door on the top of the stairs. Her blonde hair fell to her waist, and a small golden crown sat atop her curls. Her pink dress covered her feet, but the echoes of her steps sounded as if she were wearing high heels. Her eyes were a beautiful blue. She had white gloves that covered most of her arms, ending at her upper arms.

"Ooh! Olivia! Did you find him yet?"

Olivia sadly shook her head. "Not yet...but I came here to ask if you have seen the robed man around here since his disappearance."

Peach thought for a moment. "I don't think so...But I heard a Toad spotted them heading towards Picnic Road. Whatever business they have there with the Head Decorator mustn't be good."

"Thank you, Princess Peach! Also, I wanted to introduce some visitors. I think they're here for the festival."

"I'm Sora, the white one is Donald Duck, and the tall one is Goofy!"

"Duck?" Peach gasped. "I've never seen a creature from Mario's world so close before! Are you sure he's not dangerous?"

"Waaack?!" Donald quacked.

"He's a good mage!" Sora admitted.

"That's right!" Donald said, huffing.

"Ooh! You can use magic?" Olivia asked. "What do your Magic Circles look like?"

"Magic Circle?" Sora, Donald, and Goofy asked in unison.

Olivia nodded. "It's how us origami folk use magic. Of course, if you haven't heard of it, then perhaps not." She gasped lightly. "That's it! Magic Circles! We can use them to find the Head Decorator!" She smiled at Peach. "We'll head towards Picnic Road now! Thank you so much!"

"Of course! I hope you find him."

"How do we get to Picnic Road?" Sora asked once they left the castle.

"We go this way." Olivia headed off to the left, crossed a bridge, and resumed going left.

"Wait up!" Sora rushed after her. She may only float, but she went surprisingly fast.

Sora gasped when he arrived on Picnic Road. The mostly clear blue sky mixed with the brightness of the grass and color of the flowers was breathtaking.

"Woah! No wonder it's called Picnic Road! It makes me want to sit down and have one!" Sora said, staring up at the sky.

Olivia came back, a defeated look in her eyes. "He's not here. Neither of them are."

Sora spotted a yellow Toad-shaped house. "What about over there? Did you check that house?"

Olivia turned. "Ooh, I don't know. The Head Decorator doesn't really like the Toads much...talking to one or going in one's house is pretty unlikely."

"But not impossible!" Sora walked over to the house and knocked on the door. "Hello? Anybody home?"

Olivia turned the doorknob and opened the door. Sora followed her inside.

"Um, we're coming inside now I guess!"

There was a yellow Toad having a conversation with somebody Sora could not see. The room was filled with inventions, one large, and three colored pipes that led to possible other rooms. The Toad was wearing a white lab coat.

"Hey!" Sora said, waving.

The Toad turned. "Ooh! Olivia! Are you here for him?"

"Does that mean..."

The Toad moved to reveal another origami person floating nearby. They were wearing a purple tuxedo with white on the edge of the shirt and coattails. Their hands were light grey, their boots were mauve, and their collar was the same golden color as their crown. Their pale blond hair was styled to block off their left eye.

"Brother!"

"Oh! He's cute!" Sora said. "Wait, that's the Head Decorator?"

Olivia charged for her brother and gave him a hug. "Everybody thought you went missing! What happened?"

"Well, I was trying to build up the courage to talk to him again but...I thought I should try some more remote areas first."

"Ooh, Olly!" She wacked him on the head, messing up his crown. "Everybody was so worried for you! We all thought you were taken by the black robed man!"

"A person wearing a black robe?" Olly asked. "I don't know anybody that fits that description..." His angled eyes looked at Sora. "Ooh? Who are these people? Are they bothering you?"

"No, silly! They helped me find you!" She wacked him on the head again and floated back to Sora. "His name is Sora!"

"My friends Donald Duck and Goofy are outside," Sora said. "Nice to meet you! I heard you were great at origami?"

Olly's face turned red. "Well...I'm not THAT great...perhaps here and there...but my creator is better than me by a lot..." Olly started fiddling with his hands. He stopped and looked back at Sora. "But, enough about me. I've never seen you around before. Say, are you from Mario's world? Earth?"

Sora ruffled his hair. "Um...sure. Let's say that."

"Oh, you must be from another world then."

"You got that fast."

"I-not to brag or anything-am pretty smart."

Sora smiled. "Alright! We found your brother! Except...if one of Organization XIII is here then that means so are the Heartless."

"Pardon? What are Heartless?"

Olivia gave Sora a worried look. "You didn't tell me about that. Ooh, I hope they are okay without their hearts..."

"That's not quite right, but it's close enough." Sora giggled. "Speaking of which, I haven't seen any since arriving here."

"WAAAAACK!" Donald quacked loudly outside.

"Donald!" Sora rushed outside, Olly and Olivia following.

There was a small army of what looked to be origami Heartless ganging up on Sora's friends.

"Sora!" Goofy said happily. "Could you help?"

"Origami?" Olly asked. "But I didn't fold-"

Sora rushed towards the group and summoned his Keyblade. He worked together with Goofy to destroy the Heartless surrounding Donald, then destroyed the other ones.

"Whew! I guess I jinxed us. Sorry, guys!"

"What was that?!" Olivia gasped.

"Those were the Heartless!"

"Are they everywhere?" Olly asked.

Sora tapped his foot as he thought. "Just about, yeah. Usually, they're pretty easy to get rid of so..."

"Our Kingdom!" Olly shouted, startling Sora. "If they dare attack the Mushroom Kingdom, that means they'll keep on spreading and spreading and..." Olly's breathing sped up.

"Breathe, Olly! Take deep breaths!" Olivia comforted. "My brother gets easily stressed and it gets hard for him to calm down. I'm so sorry..."

"Oh, don't be! Sorry if I made things worse for you two!"

Olly exhaled deeply, then faced Sora. "So, tell me what this Organization XIII is."

Sora blinked a few times. "It's kind of hard to explain. You just kind of have to already know, I guess."

"But they're bad guys!" Donald clarified.

"They're spreading darkness everywhere!" Goofy continued.

"And they are really out to get me," Sora finished.

"Light does not have it's own shadow, but casts others..." Olly muttered. "Fighting darkness without light is no easy feat."

"Tell me about it," Sora sighed. "Organization XIII just won't give up! The thing is, there is so many of them, the hooded guy could be any of them!"

"Why were they origami if I did not fold them?" Olly asked.

"Oh, they basically change they way they look every time they go to a new world."

"But why origami..." Olly muttered again.

"Ooh, dear." Olivia looked towards the direction of Toad Town. "I do hope Princess Peach is alright."

"The Princess!" Olly said. "We need to be sure she isn't getting attacked!"

"It looks like we're heading back to Toad Town?" Sora suggested.

"That sounds like the best option..." Olly sighed.
