The Gummi Ship floated through a small asteroid belt. "All right so the next world is what?" Sora asked, eagerly sitting on the edge of his seat next to Goofy. Just finishing up 100 Acre Wood was exciting. Pooh was super nice and Tiger was fun and bouncy and-
"Looks like it is some sort of coliseum," Goofy replied, interrupting Sora's thoughts.
"A coliseum?" Sora asked. "What's that?"
"It's a place to fight and show off your strength," Donald replied.
"So we get to fight then?" Sora asked. "More Heartless?"
"There might be a problem there, keep an eye out, Sora," Donald argued.
"But we still get to fight," Sora said.
"He actually makes a point, Donald," Goofy said.
"I'm just saying!" Donald yelled.
"Hey, look!" Sora cried, pointing out the back, left window. "Is that a wormhole? Like the ones from earlier?"
"It is a wormhole, but it don't look the same," Goofy said.
Donald put the breaks on the Gummi Ship and waddled over to where Sora pointed. He scanned it. "It does look weird."
The portal floating in space is swirling in yellow and blue colors. "The last one was red and white," Sora explained.
"It a weird wormhole," Goofy agreed.
"Let's go check it out!" Sora exclaimed.
"Check it out?" Donald repeated. "Check it out? You don't know what is in there!"
"Yeah, but, what if it's another world in danger?"
Donald opened his mouth and held up a finger, hesitated, then closed his mouth, his finger drooping. "He makes a good point again, Donald," Goofy said.
"Check it out!" Sora chanted. "Check it out! Check it out!"
"Check it out!" Goofy joined in. "Check it out! Check it out! Check it out!"
"Okay!" Donald screamed. "Just stop chanting!"
Donald backed up the Gummi Ship, turning it towards the strange portal. "Check it out! Check it out! Check it out!" Goofy and Sora continue chanting. Donald gulped and slowly flew the ship towards the wormhole. "This doesn't seem like a good idea," Donald said warily.
"Let me drive!" Sora tried.
"No!"
"Then...check it out! Check it out! Check it out!"
"Okay! Okay!" Donald flew slowly towards the entrance of the wormhole, stopping short. Sora huffed and pushed Donald's hands forward on the wheel, causing the ship to quickly enter the strange wormhole.
Inside the portal is a black background, with lines, colored in pink, yellow, green and blue, leading the way through the portal. Donald screamed for a little before nothing really happened through the warp drive. "Huh. I didn't expect this."
"See!" Sora said. "You gotta try new things!"
The colored lines gradually picked up speed. "That don't look good," Goofy stated.
The Gummi Ship gradually picked up speed with the colored lines, the lines eventually blurring together, but the darkness remaining between them. "Guys, this ride feels super weird," Sora said.
Sora, Donald and Goofy began to float off their seats. "It's all floaty in here," Goofy said.
"Goofy, you look like felt," Sora examined.
"So do you," Goofy replied. Sora looked at his hand. His hand is flat and filled with one color, white. He turned it around to see a cut-out, grey felt circle pasted on top of it. "I feel weirdly flat too," Sora said.
"What is happening?" Donald screamed.
"Hey, you look like a stuffed animal!" Sora exclaimed.
Donald squawked loudly, brandishing his wings. "I feel all weird! What is going on?!"
The ship picked up speed again, causing Donald to spin from his momentum of his arms. Donald became more and more of a stuffed animal as they went through, Sora Goofy becoming more felt, eventually with visible threads going through his joints, and Sora looking more like a stuffed felt project from an elementary schooler.
The group screamed the rest of the way through the wormhole, Donald replacing his hands on the wheel when he saw the exit approaching. "Hang on!" he screamed through Sora and Goofy's yelling.
Donald steered the ship enough to prevent a crash, but still ended up sliding the ship on the ground. Once the ship stopped moving, Donald, Sora, and Goofy fell, retuning back to gravity. Sora moaned. "What happened?"
"That's what I expected!" Donald yelled. "That's what I was worried about!"
"We're alive, aren't we?" Sora asked, sitting up from the floor. His feet are the chair, leaving his head on the ground. Goofy is the opposite direction, except he's laying on his stomach. Donald was on his head, flipped around, as his hands never left the wheel once the light came into view.
"Yeah, but now we have to get out of here!" Donald replied. "And not through the same wormhole!"
"What if it's the only way out?" Goofy asked.
"Then I'm closing my eyes!" Donald retorted.
"Hey, guys, look at this," Sora said.
Donald and Goofy joined him by the window. Outside, there is a mountainous stick, or a log, covered in fuzz. "Why is it...fuzzy?" Donald asked.
Sora opened the door to the Gummi Ship and walked towards the tall stick. He touched it. "Definitely fuzzy." He looked at his hand, which now has four fingers, each one short and yellow. He took his hand off the tree in shock and turned it around to examine the other side. It's the same.
He rubbed his eyes, then looked at his hand again. "Hey, does my hand look weird to you?" Sora asked, turning around and holding up his hand. "It seems...smaller." He hesitated. "And yellow."
"Your hand?" Donald asked. "I'm more concerned about your face!"
"Hey!" Sora cried.
"No, actually!" Donald said.
Sora put both hands on his face and moved them around, squishing his cheeks. "It feels fine."
"Your face is yellow!" Donald said. "And your nose is dark red!"
Sora pat his face, feeling no difference until he got to his nose. His nose is larger, flat on top, and rounded with three bumps on the bottom. "And you said it's dark red?" Sora checked.
"Yeah!"
"You're hair is stickin' up funny, too," Goofy said.
"M-my hair?" Sora asked, confused. "Doesn't my hair already stick up?"
"More so than usual," Goofy explained. "And it's red."
"Bright red!" Donald said.
Sora ran his hands through his hair. Expecting to feel it like usual wasn't what he got, instead, it was sticking up, higher than his arms could reach. "Donald, do you have a mirror?" Sora asked.
"Why would I have a mirror?" Donald asked. "I'm a duck! I don't need a mirror!"
"Actually, you're not a duck. You're a bug," Sora replied.
"A bug?!" Donald cried.
"Yeah, Goofy is too. But you guys are kinda cute."
Donald and Goofy bear the same resemblance of a three dimensional semi-circle, all except for the colors of their bodies. Goofy is green with orange lips and legs while Donald is blue with yellow lips and legs. Goofy's antennae also curve to create the illusion of his ears. They're both still wearing their hats. "Hey look! A puddle!" Sora called, pointing towards a shiny spot on the fuzzy ground.
"I hope the water isn't fuzzy," Donald said.
They ran over to the water, seemingly appearing like satin. "What the heck is this?" Donald asked.
"Water?" Sora asked. He dipped his fingers into the water, observing the water moves normally. "I think?"
"Look, Donald!" Goofy exclaimed. "We're cute little bugs!"
"I guess," Donald replied.
Sora looked at his reflection. His nose still holds the same observation as before, his face is yellow, along with his hands. He isn't wearing a shirt, excluding his jacket, his pants have a strap that goes over his right shoulder, and finally, his hair is red, extending into the air at the same height as his body, which is now shorter and wider than before.
"Woah, weird," Sora said, patting his face. Sora rubbed his teeth with his tongue, then opened his mouth to the water. His teeth are larger and round, while his tongue is a dark yellow.
"I don't know it's kinda cute," Sora said, pulling his long, rounded ears down. Sora paused, staring at his reflection. "Am I fuzzy?" Sora asked, concerned.
"And where are your shoes?" Goofy asked. Sora looked down at his feet. His feet are also yellow, smaller, and bear. "Huh," Sora said, wiggling his toes. "I have four fingers too," he stated, holding his hand up.
"Hey!" came a lively, female voice from a distance. "What are you doing down there?"
Sora squinted in the direction of the voice. "Hello?"
"Hey!" she replied back. Her shadow waved. "Get up here!"
The trio shared a look before Sora joined the person. "Hey!" she called. "What are you doing there?"
"Oh, uh, just exploring," Sora replied.
She stared at him. "I don't think I've seen you around before. What's your name?" She has dark pink hair, eyes and nose, while her skin is a lighter shade. Her dress is blue and she is wearing a purple bracelet on her left arm. "Sora!" Sora greeted, smiling. "This is Donald and Goofy." Sora pointed at the designated bugs.
"Well, nice to meet you, Sora! I'm Princess Poppy!"
"Princess Poppy?" Sora asked. "Nice to meet you!" Sora held out a hand. Poppy smiled at him. She hugged him instead. "Oh!" Sora said. She broke the hug. "See ya!"
"Hey, wait! Where are you going?" Sora asked.
"Up to teach the kids about our anniversary party!" Poppy replied.
"Anniversary party?" Donald, Sora and Goofy asked.
"Uh, yeah," Poppy replied. "Where were you all this time?"
"Out of town?" Sora tried.
She stared at him. "Oh, okay. Well, you can come with me if you want! It's this way!" She turned on her heel and marched up the hill, lifting her entire leg with each step. The trio followed her into a flower bud hanging off a large branch of the huge stick. "What is this place?" Sora asked.
"This is Troll Village!" Poppy replied joyfully.
"Troll Village..." Sora repeated thoughtfully.
