I've only really written a one of these but have so many ideas for them! This is just one of many I hope to put out there :)b

Prompt:

After helping another set of colorful characters in their world, Sora sits down on at the gummy ship with his usual, childish energy and happily places his feet Indian-style under himself.

He pulls out a very special section of his notes, taking out a pen and begins to cheerfully move his head as he writes. Back and forth,… a goofy grin and then back and forth… before nodding and pulling the pen away.

"Done!" he exclaims, mostly to himself. However, this attracts the cartoony attention of Goofy and Donald, who immediately lean over on either side of his chair, inadvertently trapping Sora as he looks to each of them.

"What'cha got there, Sora?" Goofy asks, relatively in innocence and pure curiosity.

In a duck's poor articulation, Donald also quacks up, "Yeah, is it a love letter?"

"Huh?!" Sora, surprised by their sudden interest, goes to move the notebook away but Goofy sticks his nose right inbetween it. "Ah!" Sora was looking at Donald when he abruptly tried to close the book and gasped when Goofy's nose made a honking sound. "Oh! Sorry, Goofy. Donald-!"

"Got it!" swiping the notes from Sora's hand, Donald began to move to the side of the pilot's chair and flip through it.

Sora fought 'valiantly' to get it back but Goofy held him back with one hand, giggling into the other in his infamous laugh.

Sora struggled as he switched from Goofy's arm to reaching out for Donald. "Hey, no fair..!"

"Huh?" Donald's eyes quickly skimmed the notes as he ducked his head into the book, reading quickly and animatedly. "This doesn't make any sense…"

"Well, why don't'cha read it out loud, then? A-ya-huk!" Goofy suggested as Sora finally pounded lightly on his hand and he let go, having Sora blush and reach for Donald.

"Dooon't-! Offph!" he fell short as Donald stuck out his wand to pin Sora back, then trip him up so he fell straight to the ground while attempting to lean against the wand.

"It says, 'a wonderful ride, maybe try some singing'?"

"Ohh… that is strange." Goofy placed a finger up to his mouth. "Maybe it's out of context, try and… uh… read some more!"

"No!" Sora's head zipped back up, now on all fours. He looked truly embarrassed.

"Quuaah… 'True love's kiss breaks the spell every time, but maybe… true love is just being close to that special someone you hold close to your heart, and showing how much you care about them."

"Stooopp!" Sora plugged his ears, pulling his hair a bit down on its sides in the process.

"Gwosh, sounds like Sora's been doing some research of his own in the ways of the heart!" Goofy kid.

"Yeah! With each note, there's a world we've been too. Awhhh… Agrabah. New Orleans… Wah! Here's one from Dumbo! 'It's not the power of your special ability, like a keyblade or feather, that helps one to achieve their potential. Sometimes, it's always just been inside you. If I can tell her my true feelings, which have always been inside me, then maybe I don't need a Paopu fruit. Though I hear they're very tasty… I wanted to wait to share one with-EMMPH! Emm, uhmph!" Donald was immediately seized upon by Sora's hands shutting his bill tight.

With a face as red as his, he looked away and didn't make eye contact, but Donald, while struggling, narrowed his eyes in determination and threw the book to Goofy, muttering something that sounded kinda like, 'What's the big idea?! Goofy!'

Goofy fumbled in a comedic way to catch the journal, then opened it up and began to laugh to himself multiple times.

Finally, Donald stomped on Sora's big foot, "Oww! Hey!" Sora let go to reach his foot up, rubbing it, before forcibly slamming it down and having sparks fly between him and Donald's eyes, a clear battle about to ensue before Donald turned his attention back to Goofy.

With a mischevious intent, he waved a hand out to gesture to him, "Goofy! Read it out loud!" then turned to Sora, hands confidently to his sides. "It's about time you came clean… this could help you admit your inner feelings-WAHH! Wha-Wha-whaa!" In the duck's infamous cry, he dodged Sora's keyblade swipe and ran from him as he charged.

"Get back herrrreee!" Sora called, as they raced around the gummy ship.

Goofy took a moment, scratching his head as though remembering to read out loud, and carefully plotting to speak clearly and read the sentences a few times, then finally nodded. "Ohhh'kay! It says 'ere… umm… Oh right, sorry." he flipped the page and laughed, as though looking at a blank sheet of paper. His eyes skimmed just like Donalds, holding the book really close before pulling it far away. "Duhh… 'Grandmother Willow said to listen with your heart, and you will understand. Princess'…uh… oh! That's gotta be 'Pocahontas' Gee… is that how it looks?" he turned the book to the side and squinted, as though incredulous to the fact that those letters all put together made her name. "Well, anyway, 'Princess Pocahontas used that to learn John's language. I've heard the saying that love is a language all in itself. Is that how she was able to communicate with him? Or even with us? Will Kairi know what I'm saying without really saying it with my mouth… but with my heart?' Ah-yah-huk! Well, ain't that the cutest thing!" He hugged the book close, still having it open, and shaking his head to emphasize his adoration of what he just read. "Reminds me of my Maxie! And his first crush. Why, he went all the way to that there Powerline concert just to keep a promise to her. Ah… I miss my boy." He wiped a large tear forming at the side of his eye.

Suddenly, a keyhole opened.

Sora and Donald, in the midst of an absolute wrestle war, suddenly stopped mid-attack–a silly jumble of themselves–to see it.

"Goofy…" Sora, forgetting himself for a moment, noticed the keyhole and realized Goofy really did miss his son. He stopped the brawling momentarily, putting Donald at ease, and walked over to him. "Goofy… would you like to go back to your world now? Just for a moment to… check things out?" He smiled.

Goofy was extremely touched. Smiling wide, he then remembered the book and held it out. "We've been to so many worlds… You even wrote just here that when we went back to the Lion King world, Kiara and Kovu reminded you of how you're constantly separated from Kairi… I guess… Ohhh… Me and Donald are constantly separated from our loved ones too."

Donald sighed, "Daisy…"

"That's right." Sora looked back to Donald, "You guys sacrifice just as much as I do to be doing what's right…" there was a moment of empathy in Sora, and he didn't feel the need to be embarrassed about missing Kairi anymore, or the fact that he was writing down not only romantic devices he had learned from other worlds, but also colllecting his thoughts together to understand his own feelings.

He scratched the back of his head, "I promise, I'm not just goofying around." he joked.

Donald laughed, but Goofy just smiled, "So, how are you gonna woo Kairi?"

He suddenly flinched and Donald laughed even harder, pointing to him, slapping his knee, and clutching his stomach.

Sora found a new reason to want to fight again… but instead, he just stomped a foot toward Donald and held up a fist, "Ohh! Like you could do any better!"

"I could! And I would!" Donald spat out, sticking his tongue out to tease his sensitive side further.

As the three headed into Goofy's world to meet his son, the lyrics 'Eye to Eye' were the next Sora began to write down about.

"If we listen to each other's heart! We'll find we're never too, far apart, and maybe love(!) is the reason why,… for the first time ever, we're seein' it eye to eye." Sora sang as he tapped his hands to the rhythm on the side of his captain's seat.

Goofy suddenly giggled.

So did Donald.

"What now?" Sora turned around, "Ariel taught me to sing and Sabastian said I had good pitch- AH!" Sora noticed the notebook still in their hands and their sly expressions of contorted, cartoony pleasure as they prepared to state what they were thinking.

"You want to stop by and ask Tiny Chef.." Goofy twisted one of his ears around his finger…

"-to help you make some… Spaghetti?" Donald sneered, snickering in his infamous duck laugh.

Sora almost flipped to reach the two of them and rip the notebook away.
