Now things get more intense. Enjoy!
Sorry for the long wait. I had the stories for "Snoops On!" and "Something in the Mines" in mind and just wanted to geth them out there, especially the second one for Halloween.
In the castle walls, Sora, Ven, Lea, Xion, Naminé, Myde, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Oswald, Jaq, Gus, and Mary made their way through the walls.
"Gotta say this is pretty weird." said Lea.
"Is this how you guys traveled through Cinderella's house?" asked Naminé.
"Zugk-Zugk!" said Jaq. "Only way to stay hidden from Cinderelly's mean stepfamily and their evil cat Lucifee."
"And as mice, we're able to easily climb through them." added Mary.
"Sounds cool." said Sora.
They soon arrived at a path that turned left.
"I'll check for any creeps down there." said Ven.
The blonde-haired boy ran forward and so no signs of any Heartless, Nobodies, or Unversed. Ven then started to make random hand gestures, much to everyone's confusion. Sora and Mickey walked up to him.
"Ven, whaddya doin'?" asked Sora.
"I'm doing what Mickey usually does." Ven replied.
"I make hand signals. They mean things." Mickey explained.
Ven was taken aback. "Really? Then what did mine mean?" he asked.
Mickey gestured over to Donald and Goofy, who were dressed as hula girls with fake wigs, hawaiian skirts, and coconut tops, doing a hula dance. Goofy stopped.
"What? Are we cancelling the Hula-Girl Decoy?" he asked.
"Ahola…" Donald snag.
Goofy put his hand on Donald's shoulder.
"What?" asked Donald.
Goofy gestured his hand in a "cut" motion.
"Aww phooey!" Donald groaned as he tossed the wig away. (1)
"Come on, let's go." said Sora.
"So Jaq, Gus, Mary, how long have you guys been living with Cinderella?" asked Oswald.
"For a long time actually." said Mary.
"Yeah, mice-mice were always looking for a place to stay. A good home." said Jaq. "One day for each of us or more, we find ourselves inside that old house, and then we're trapped in cages."
"But Cinderelly saved us!" Gus chimed in.
"That's right Gus-Gus." said Jaq. "Cinderelly took us in. She gave us a home in her room in the attic. She dressed us, fed us, and allowed us to stay while protecting us from that mean old cat."
"And in return, we help her out anyway we can." said Mary.
"Oh like when you guys and Ven made that dress." said Sora.
"And when Jaq, Gus, and two other mice were turned into horses by Fairy Godmother to take Cinderella to the ball." added Lea.
"Yeah yeah!" nodded Gus.
"Well if all goes well, you guys will be away from that rotten stepfamily and you and Cinderella will be living in this castle." said Sora.
"That would be nice." said Gus.
"You said it Gus-Gus." nodded Jaq.
Outside the walls in the castle gym, Kit was fencing with his father, the king.
Kit wore a white long-sleeved collared shirt, a gold belt, red pants with a gold stripe running down each side, and black shoes.
The King was a portly elderly figure with fair skin, graying light hair, and bushy eyebrows, shorter than his son. He wore the same kind of shirt as kit, but with the sleeves rolled up, cherry-red suspenders, tan trousers, and black shoes.
"But, Dad…" Kit began.
"Those aren't reasons! Breeding, refinement! These are the reasons to marry someone. Not their choice in transparent footwear!" the king said as they clashed swords.
Kit then pushed his sword against his father's, sending them both back. The king grabbed a pear from a fruit bowl and was about to eat it, only for Kit to jump into a wooden bench and steal it with his sword.
"Ooh! Nice parry." the king said approvingly.
"Thanks." said Kit.
The king stopped on the bench, pushing it into the air, only for Kit to hop down and the two swordfought around it.
"It's not about the slipper." said the prince. "It's the girl in the slipper." he added as he sneakily grabbed the back of his dad's suspenders and let them go with a snap, making the king yelp in surprise. He sliced the bench in half as he and Kit swordfought faster.
Kit wasn't even paying much attention as he thought about Cinderella. "She was... Well, she was…" Kit said before the king whipped the sword out of his hands, sending it flying across the room.
"She was what?" the king asked.
Kit jumped into the ground, catching his sword
"Well, she was the one." Kit said as he got back up. "I know it."
Kit then jumped off a jump platform, then jumped off a soft piece of furniture, then grabbed onto a trapeze swing with the sword in his mouth, swinging across the gym before he jumped off and grabbed onto a rope, swinging around. He then landed on the ground.
"You think there's only one woman in the kingdom who wears a size four and a half?" the king asked as he backed Kit up against a target painted on several pieces of wood.
"It's all I have to go on here." Kit shrugged.
"Oh, poppycock!" the king scoffed as they resumed.
Kit then knocked the king's sword out of his grasp, making it stab a wooden piece of equipment. Behind it hung a portrait of the king and a fancy-dressed woman with red hair. Kit stared at the picture with a soft look as his dad groaned at his sword being knocked out of his hands.
"You remember when you met Mom?" Kit asked. "You said the first time you touched her hand... ...you just knew... instantly."
The king was struggling to get his sword out, he stopped at Kit's words and looked at the picture of him and his wife. He smiled at the memory.
"Mmm. The stars were brighter that night." he said softly.
Kit patted his dad's shoulder. "Dad, you found true love. That's all I want." he said.
Then, a trumpet sound was heard.
"Oh! They found her!" Kit grinned as he ran out.
The king watched him go with a smile… which turned into a wince as the piece of gym equipment his sword was sticking in… split in half.
Kit dressed up in formal attire and walked to where he would meet the "girl from last night." Up above high on the wall behind a gold shield decoration, Jaq and Gus peaked out from a small hole.
"Zugk-zugk!" said Gus.
Jaq nodded and they scurried off in the walls again with their friends.
One by one, Jaq, Gus, Mary, Sora, Ven, Lea, Xion, Naminé, Myde, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Oswald carefully climbed down the chain of a small golden chandelier. They landed in the base and spotted the Grand Duke with the Tremaines, Anastasia sitting down on a chair in the middle of the room. Lady Tremiane stood nearby while Drizella sat in another chair, bored out of her mind.
"There they are." snarled Lea.
"What do we do now?" asked Myde.
"Observe." said Mickey.
"Got it." nodded Sora as they listened in.
"Now, if you ladies would please have a seat, the Prince will be right with you." the Grand Duke told them.
No sooner did he finish his sentence, the large double door burst open as Kit came in with a big smile on his face.
Anastasia beamed happily as Kit came over to her. Regaining himself, the Grand Duke closed the doors.
"My Prince!" Anastaisa said happily as she bowed from her seat.
Instantly, Kit slowed down as his smile turned to a frown. He knew right then and there that this wasn't the girl he danced with last night.
"Your Highness!" Lady Tremaine greeted.
"Oh, hello. Am I in the right room?" Kit asked in confusion before chuckling to himself. "Of course I'm in the right room. Um... Well there... There seems to be... a little mix-up here." he said.
Anastasia gasped in worry.
Lady Tremaine narrowed her eyes. "I assure you, Your Highness, the slipper fits my daughter's foot." she told him.
"See? See?" Anastaisa said, holding up her foot with the glass slipper on it.
"Huh. How could he miss it?" Drizella deadpanned.
"Oh, yeah, I see." Kit said awkwardly. "Um... It's just that I was expecting... Well, someone else. I really do feel awful about this."
Anastaisa looked nervous and upset.
"But the royal proclamation declared…" Lady Tremaine began.
"Yes, but it would appear that, uh, more than one girl actually fits the... the slipper." Kit explained. "I'm very sorry to have inconvenienced you. Um... Why don't I have the Grand Duke escort you home safely. If you'll please excuse me." he said as he awkwardly left.
"Phew!" Jaq said in relief.
"Oh that was close." Xion sighed in relief.
"He knows that it wasn't Anastasia despite her 'fitting' the slipper." Sora smiled.
"Out of curiosity, exactly how did Kit forget Cinderella's face?" Lea asked in confusion.
"Hey yeah, he should remember what she looks like." nodded Oswald.
"The hair, the eyes, not just the slippers." Myde said in agreement.
Everyone traded glances.
"Huh… I actually have no idea." said Mickey, shrugging. (2)
"Short-term memory loss?" guessed Goofy.
"That's a distinct possibility." shrugged Donald.
"Well at least Kit will probably remember what Cinderella looks like when they meet." said Naminé.
"True that! A-hyuck!" said Goofy.
"But... but…" Anastasia stuttered as she tried to run after him.
"Quiet!" Lady Tremaine hissed as she held her back. She pulled out Fairy Godmother's wand.
"Wait, what's she doing?" asked Sora, concerning everyone.
"I don't like the looks of this." said Oswald.
"You will forget who you danced with at the ball, and marry the girl who fits the slipper... ...tonight. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo." Lady Tremaine whispered as she casted a spell in Kit.
The moment Kit was about to touch the door handle, the green magic swirled around him. He rubbed his head for a second before the magic flew into his eyes.
Kit's mind:
Kit is seen dancing with Cinderella on the night of the ball as green magic swirls around the memory. The moment Kit swings Cinderella around, the memory changes to show Anastasia in her place. It then showed him and Cinderella in the forest with their horses prior to the ball, only for the image to spin around and show Anastasia in her place.
Kit's eyes briefly glowed green before he shook his head. As he turned around to face Anastasia, he said something that shocked the heroes in the lamp.
"Wait. Hold the trumpet!" he said with a smile as he speed-walked over to Anastasia. "It's all coming back. It is you."
Sora, Ven, Naminé, Xion, Lea, Myde, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Oswald, Jaq, Gus, and Mary gasped in horror.
Gus fainted.
"Please. Please tell me your name." Kit said.
"It's... Anastasia." the redhead replied.
"Anastasia." Kit said with a smile before producing a small pink box, making Anastasia's face light up. "Well, I... I know it's sudden, but will you marry me?" the prince asked as he opened the box, showing a wedding ring.
"Yes! Yippee! Ah!" Anastasia exclaimed happily as she tried to take the ring, only for it to slip from her grasp and bounce around the floor.
She began to chase it, much to Kit's surprise and bewilderment. Anastasia was slipping all over the floor due to wearing two different shoes until she finally caught the ring. She quickly put it on as her mother approached her.
"Yes. Er... I... I mean, yes. Definitely yes. I will marry you." Anastasia told Kit as she stood up again.
"Excellent." Lady Tremaine grinned. "The ceremony will take place tonight. I trust that meets with your approval, sire."
"The sooner the better." Kit replied.
"Splendid." the wicked stepmother smirked. "Then tonight we will have a new princess."
"Wonderful. I'll go tell my father." said Kit as he left.
"Not good!" Jaq said worriedly.
"Now the timeline is even more screwed up!" Sora whispered in worry.
"That wicked old hag's got Kit under a spell." muttered Donald.
"Now he doesn't know who he really danced with that night." Goof said in agreement.
"We have to find Cinderelly everyone!" said Jaq.
"Come on, up there!" said Mary.
Quickly, the group raced up into the ceiling.
Elsewhere in the castle, Riku, Kairi, Aqua, Terra, Roxas, Isa, Minnie, Daisy, Max, Ortensia, and Cinderella were walking along trying to find Kit.
"So why do you think the magic from Fairy Godmother's wand is acting all willy-nilly?" Minnie asked her teammates.
"Your guess is as good as mine Min." Daisy replied.
"I have a theory." said Kairi. "Maybe because the wand belonged to Fairy Godmother in the first place, it recognizes who's good and who's evil like she's able to. So if it was her magic that reset the timeline, maybe it detects us as good people and changes our sizes when we need to be either our normal heights, or the size of Jaq, Gus, and Mary."
"That's a good theory Kairi." said Aqua with a smile.
"Theories aside, where do you think the prince is?" asked Max.
Before anyone could make a guess, they heard some voices.
"Quick, hide!" Cinderella whispered.
Quickly, the eleven of them hid behind a statue just as the Tremianes came from another room.
"I feel better already." said Anastasia.
"Grace and poise, girls. Just remember, grace and poise." said Lady Tremiane.
"Right. Grace and poise." said Anastsia as they entered a room."Oh, look, a harp."
As the sound of a harp sounded out, Riku, Cinderella, and Co. emerged from their hiding spot and were about to move on when they spotted a familiar shadow. It was Lucifer. The cat was walking and stretching from the doorway.
"Lucifer?" came Lady Tremaine's voice.
But as Lucifer walked along, he caught a whiff of a familiar scent. He began to sniff around, making everyone freeze in terror.
"Lucifer?" Lady Tremaine called out again.
But Lucifer ignored her as he continued to sniff and moved closer towards the statue, where everyone held their breaths, hoping he wouldn't find them. But just as he was about to look...
"Lucifer!"
That got Lucifer's attention.
"Come here!"
Begrudgingly, Lucifer walked into the room, briefly looking over his shoulder, but seeing nothing, walked in as the door closed.
"Phew." everyone sighed in relief.
"That was a close call." Terra said in relief.
"Should we continue looking?" asked Roxas.
"No need. Look." said Isa, pointing ahead.
Everyone's eyes widened as Kit walked past them outside onto a passover bridge decorated in flowers. Cinderella ran towards him.
"Should we accompany her?" asked Ortensia.
"No, let them talk together." said Aqua as they stayed hidden.
"Your Highness." Cinderella said.
"Yes?" Kit asked as he turned around.
"Hello." Cinderella greeted with a smile.
"Um... Hello." Kit said in confusion, but smiled to be pilote.
"It's wonderful to see you again." Cinderella grinned.
"Um... I'm sorry, have we met?" Kit asked in confusion.
Cinderella giggled. "I believe we danced last night at the ball." she replied.
"Well, uh... maybe you've mistaken me for some other prince." he said.
Cinderella laughed while the ten Keybalde Masters looked at each other, confused.
"I don't think so. You are quite the dancer." Cinderella said as she dropped her net.
They two both bent down to pick it up.
"Well, it wasn't just me. It was the lady I was... ...dancing with." Kit said with a smile.
Cinderella smiled happily as they got up. But what she didn't see was Kit's eyes briefly glow green before returning to normal.
"Oh, Your Highness." Cinderella smile.d
"Uh... As a matter of fact, I'm gonna marry her." Kit said as he handed her back the net.
Cinderella beamed. "Marry? Really?" she asked.
"Yes! Tonight." Kit replied.
"Tonight?" Cinderella grinned.
"Well, once you dance with someone like Anastasia, you don't want to waste any time." Kit replied as-a-matter-of-factly.
Cinderella was now confused and taken aback, as was Riku and Co. "Did you say Anastasia?" she asked.
"Yes." Kit replied.
"But…" Cinderella began before trailing off, completely confused.
"I'm sorry what?" Max asked in confusion.
"Anastasia? That's not right." Daisy said in confusion.
"He danced with Cinderella last night." said Terra, frowning.
"Something's wrong here," said Aqua.
"Well... I guess I better be going. I've got to tell my father." said Kit.
"But that's not right." said Cinderella.
"I'm sorry?" asked Kit.
Suddenly, three Stealth Soldiers spawned behind them.
"Oh my!" gasped Cinderella.
"What are they?!" exclaimed Kit.
"Heartless!" Kairi cried as she summon Destiny's Embrace and wan towards them.
Kairi leaped over Cinderella and Kit and quickly slashed the three Heartless away.
"Oh thank you Kairi." Cinderella said thankfully.
"Yes, thank you." said Kit, also thankful.
"Of course." smiled Kairi. "Me and my friends deal with those creeps all the time."
"I see." said Kit. "Are they here now?"
"As a matter of fact, yes." Kairi replied, gesturing behind the two.
They both turned and saw Riku, Roxas, Isa, Terra, Aqua, Minnie, Daisy, Max, and Ortensia walk up to them.
"Hello." Terra greeted.
"Oh I remember you!" said Kit as he looked at Aqua and Terra. "You were at the ball last night, yes?"
"That's right." nodded Aqua.
"Wait, how does he remember Aqua and Terra but not Cinderella?" Roxas asked Isa, who could only shrug.
Suddenly, Kairi's Gummiphone rang. "Oh sorry." she said sheepishly as she answered it. "Hello?"
"Kairi, you and the others get down to the ballroom!" came Sora's voice.
"Why, what's wrong?" asked Kairi.
"There's a whole lot of Heartless down here!" came the reply.
"We're on our way!" said Kairi as she hung up.
"Is everything ok?" asked Cinderella.
"Heartless are in the ballroom." Kairi said.
"Oh that's not good." said Minnie, frowning.
"Your Majesty, do you know the way there?" asked Isa.
"I do." said Kit. "Follow me!"
Everyone followed the prince to the ballroom.
Downstairs, Sora and his group, with their signature weapons, were fighting off many Heartless. There were Minute Bombs, Bolt Towers, Magic Phantoms, Eliminators, and Darklings.
At that moment, Riku, Cinderella, Kit, and Co. entered.
"My word!" gasped Kit.
"That's a lot of strange creatures." murmured Cinderella.
"There you guys are!" said Lea as he slashed away a Minute Bomb.
"Mind giving us a hand, fellers?" asked Goofy as he bashed away a Bolt Tower.
"Like you had to ask." Kairi smirked as everyone else summoned their signature Keyblades.
"I'll help too." said Cinderella, determined.
"So will I." said Kit before frowning. "Of all the times not to have a sword with me."
"We got ya!" said Sora.
Sora said the protection spell in his head before summoning and tossing Diamond Dust to Cinderella. Ven did the same with No Name and gave it to Kit.
"There you guys are!" said Sora.
"Just use them like swords and don't worry about spells!" added Ven.
"Right." nodded Kit.
"Thank you." said Cinderella.
The 22 regrouped and got into fighting stances. Up above, Jaq, Gus, and Mary watched from the chandelier.
"Now this oughta be fun to watch." said Jaq.
"This sure is something you don't usually see." Mary nodded in agreement.
"Go Cinderelly! Go Sora! Go Ven-Ven! Go everyone!" Gus cheered, much to Jaq and Mary's amusement.

Max slid around on his skateboard and slashed at some Darklings before skateboarding up into the air and destroyed six of them with a Transcendence spell from above. Cinderella and Kit stood back to back defending themselves from the Heartless, slashing them away and jumping and ducking to dodge their attacks. One Darkling tried to attack Kit, but Cinderella was able to stab it through the chest, destroying it. At the same time, Kit saw a Minute Bomb about to strike Cinderella, but he quickly slashed it across it's neck, destroying it.
"Thank you." Cinderella smiled.
"Yeah. You too." Kit smiled back.
There were about 25 Heartless left. Mickey and Oswald looked at each other.
"Let's show them what we brothers can do." said Mickey.
"I like your thinking bro." Oswald replied.
Mickey and Oswald jumped into the air, Kingdom Key W and Classic Tone held out in front of them. They spun around, firing multiple spells at the Heartless.
"Give us strength!" shouted Mickey.
"It's over!" shouted Oswald.
The two performed a rapid flurry of attacks. They then rapidly stabbed the Heartless with their Keyblades. They then launched blue Perlza spells from their palms.
"Let's finish this!" said Mickey.
"Right behind ya!" said Oswald.
They stood back to back and released sparkles from their blades that formed a cyclone of orange and dark blue light before releasing shooting stars.
"LIGHT!" the mouse and rabbit shouted.
Their Keyblades floated side-by-side in energy orbs that reeled in the Heartless before exploding, finishing them all off.
(Wheel Master Boss Fight from Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep ends)
With all the Heartless gone, everyone dismissed their Keyblades, Sora and Ven also dismissing the Keyblades they lent Cinderella and Kit.
"Nice job everyone." praised Mickey.
"Hey, we always pull through, don't we?" smirked Lea.
"You guys really fought well." said Kit. "I'm impressed."
"Thanks Prince." smiled Sora. "You too."
"You were great too Cinderella." said Aqua.
"Why thank you." Cinderella smiled.
"Is there anything I can do to repay you?" Kit asked the world-travelers.
"Nothing at all." Riku said modestly. "We do this to protect the innocent."
"You sure sound like you do." Kit chuckled. "Well anyway, I have to go tell my father about Anastasia."
Kit began to leave while Riku, Kairi, Minnie, Daisy, Max, Ortensia, Terra, Aqua, Roxas, and Isa looked confused.
"But wait!" said Cinderella, reaching out to Kit before he could leave the ballroom.
"What is it?" asked Kit.
"I-" Cinderella began before she was interrupted.
"You there. Royal mouse catcher!"
Cinderella and Kit turned and saw Prudence come up to them. Sora and Co. quickly snuck away just as they shrunk down again. Quickly, they hopped on their gliders and sailed up to where Jaq, Gus, and Mary were.
"I need you this…" she began before seeing Kit. "Oh. Oh, I'm sorry, Your Grace. I didn't realize... I need her this instant!" she told him. "Please excuse us, Your Highness?"
"Please. I'm sorry, just one moment." Cinderella begged, but fell upon deaf ears.
"No, no, no. Of course, I can see you're busy. I'll... I'll let you go." Kit assured them as he walked away.
"But... it was me." Cinderella whispered as Prudence dragged her away in the opposite direction.
As Kit walked away, he paused for a moment before looking back at Cinderella as she and Prudence disappeared into the hall. He couldn't help but feel like there was something familiar about Cinderella. He just didn't know what.
Up above in the rafts, Jaq, Gus, Mary, Sora, and Co. explained everything to the world-travelers who weren't with them.
"So he doesn't remember Cinderella at all?" asked Isa.
"Zugk-Zugk." nodded Jaq. "Princey thinks he danced with Anastasia."
"Tremaine you black-hearted bitch." snarled Kairi.
"This is just another step further in that wicked she-demon's plan to live a rich life in the castle." muttered Daisy.
"We have to tell Cinderella." said Roxas.
"Right." said Sora. He turned to the mice. "Let's follow those two and we'll meet up with Cinderella once Prudence leaves."
"Righty-O! Let's go!" said Jaq.
As they all walked through the spaces in the walls, Riku turned to Mickey. "Do you think what Lady Tremaine did to the timeline infected the other worlds as well?" he asked.
"Gosh, I hope not." said Mickey. "Then again, we did see Aqua's younger self."
"But the Organization were able to encounter us during different periods of time in certain worlds like Hill Valley and the MCU." Riku pointed out.
"It's a darkness thing." Isa told them as they walked on.
"Ok, that makes sense." said Riku.
"Still, I wonder how everyone else is doing." said Mickey.
Secret Forest:
Hayner, Pence, and Olette stood in front of the Keyblade wielders. Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Lena, Violet, April, May, and June were watching them. Seifer set down some targets for them to strike.
"Ready to go! Show us what you got!" Seifer called out.
"OK guys, show us the Thunder!" said Pence with enthusiasm in his voice.
One by one, Aladdin, Jasmine, Woody, Buzz, Rapunzel, Eugene, Milo, and Kisa, Keyblades in hand, each casted Thunder on their target, destroying them instantly.
Everyone applauded.
"That was awesome!" cheered May.
"Not as impressive as Uncle Donald, but still pretty cool!" said Dewey.
"What's the next one gonna be?" asked Violet.
"Next, we'll do something similar." said Olette as she glanced at a notebook. "An Exo Spark spell."
"How is that one different from a Thunder spell?" Rapunzel asked her fellow Keybearers.
"That one goes in all directions." said Milo.
"Good for when enemies surround you." added Buzz.
"Lena, would you mind?" asked Hayner.
"Sure thing." Lena said as she used waved her hand.
Surrounded by an aura of magic, the targets were restored.
In another part of the area, Rufus, Aerith, and Cid were watching Tseng, Elena, Tifa, and Yuffie spar with Cassim, Audrey, Sweet, and Vinnie.
Audrey was able to block Elena's attacks.
"You're good." Elena commented as Audrey blocked a double-punch.
"I've learned a couple of tricks from my sister." Adurey replied as they resumed.
"She's a boxer, right?" Cid asked Aerith, who nodded.
"It was nice to let you have the Turks spar alongside the Non-Keyblade members of the army President Shinra." Aerith said to Rufus.
The young president smiled. "Well it is a way we can do our part in helping out." he replied.
"Speaking of the Turks, where are the two that are usually seen together?" asked Cid.
"Reno and Rude?" Rufus asked before sighing in annoyance. "They're back in Midgar."
"Why's that?" Aerith asked, curious.
"Well…" Rufus began.
Midgar:
In the city streets, Reno and Rude were driving around… in a police car. They were also dressed as cops in black uniforms and hats.
"Why do we have to work the beat again?" Reno asked as he drove.
"Oh I don't know, maybe because YOU BLEW UP A SMALL MALAYSIAN ISLAND!" Rude replied, annoyed.
"How was I supposed to know what the red button was for?" Reno retorted.
"Let's just get through this assignment. It's one night." Rude said in exasperation. (3)
Castle of Dreams:
Prudence led Cinderekka to a storage room.
"Start here! I want this castle completely rodent-free in time for the wedding." she said as she left.
Cinderella could only sigh as she set her net down on a barrel. She was so confused. How could the prince not remember her? She remembered completely well that she danced with him at the ball. And yet he thought it was Anastasia who did? How did that happen? Cinderella began to cry softly as she wiped some tears from her eyes.
"Cinderelly! Cinderelly!" came a voice.
"Gus?" Cinderella asked.
"Cinderelly!"
Cinderella looked up and saw Jaq, Gus, and Mary run across a rope and slid down a piece of wood and landed on another piece. Sora and Co.
"Where are the others?" Cinderella asked.
"Right behind us." Mary replied.
As if on cue, Sora and Co. flew down on their gliders.
"Wow…" Cinderella whispered in awe as they landed next to the mice.
"Sweet rides huh?" Lea smirked as they dismissed their weapons.
"Not as fancy as your coach from last night so I'm told, but still efficient." added Ven.
"We found Princey!" said Jaq.
Cinderella frowned. "I did too. But he doesn't even know who I am." she said sadly.
"No, no, no!" the three mice said in unison.
"We thought that too at first." said Terra.
"But we were wrong." said Max.
"It's a magic." said Gus.
Cinderella paused and turned around in surprise.
"What? What are you talking about?" she asked.
"We'll let them explain it." Mary said as she gestured to Jaq and Gus.
Unfortunately, Jaq and Gus began to talk so fast that no one, except Cinderella and Mary, could understand them. But they soon did when Jaq took off his hat and messed up his head fur to resemble Lady Tremaine's hair and held up a pin as her cane.
"Stepmother?" Cinderella asked.
Gus grabbed a nearby blue cloth and wrapped in around himself before grabbing a toothpick.
"Fairy Godmother?" Cinderella asked in surprise.
Gus went up to Jaq and said, "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo." right as Jaq swiped the wand prop from him.
"She stole it?" Cinderella gasped.
Gus fake-cried as Jaq said, "I show Princey!"
Cinderella's eyes widened in horror.
Jaq then turned to Gus. "Princey! Princey!" He whispered.
Gus stopped fake crying and ran off before coming back dressed as Prince Charming, with his head fur slicked back and wearing a long-sleeved yellow shirt while holding in his gut.
"My Cinderelly awaits." he said manly.
Cinderella smiled at that.
"Man, these guys are good." said Donald.
"Good? They're awesome!" said Sora, impressed by Jaq and Gus' performance.
"They are very creative." giggled Mary. "Especially Jaq…"
"Gawrsh, I can see why you two are good friends with them like Cinderella." Goofy commented to Ven and Aqua, who smiled.
"Princey, you will marry Anastasia." Jaq said, pretending to be Lady Tremian as he waved the wand prop at Gus.
"Anesthesia." Gus said like he was in a trance… while his eyes glowed green.
"H-How is Gus doin' that?" asked Myde, feeling disturbed.
"I… don't know…" Lea replied.
"Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" said Jaq, making Gus jump and walk around like a zombie.
Cinderella's eyes widened as she put everything together. "She made him forget who I am." she said, staring off.
Everyone nodded.
"Magic! That explains it." she exclaimed quietly.
"And we have no doubt that she and her daughters are responsible for the Heartless." said Sora.
Cinderella, Jaq, Gus, and Mary looked at the team.
"Whaddya mean?" asked Gus.
"What he means is that Heartless are attracted to the darkness in people's hearts." said Roxas.
"And given how Cinderella's pathetic excuse of a mother and stepmother is trying to ruin her life, it just shows how wicked she truly is." said Xion.
Cinderella knelt down to everyone's level. "Everyone, we have to get that wand!" she said determinedly.
Sra, Jaq, Gus, Mary, and Co. nodded with determination on their faces.
