Now the game is on to get the wand.
Also, sorry for the lack of updating on this story. I had to focus on my college grades. But, now that finals are done, I can continue my story!
Enjoy! And Merry Christmas!
Lady Tremaine was in one of the dark halls talking to a familiar teenager with black spiky hair in a red and black bodysuit. It was Vanitas.
"So after my daughter marries into the kingdom, you'll eliminate the king and I can take over the kingdom." Lady Tremaine surmised. "But how pray tell is this supposed to benefit you and your masters?"
"Simple really." said Vanitas. "My master wishes to see everything in his image. And your desire to have everything, including the kingdom, will be helpful. You'll be under our command, but you'll still be ruling everything with your daughters and cat."
"And you can help me and my family get everything Cinderella stole from us in the original timeline?" Lady Tremiane asked.
Vanitas smirked. "Precisely." he replied.
Lady Tremaine nodded. "Very well then. Now, how can you help?" she asked.
"The Unversed only obey me." said Vanitas. "But my associate here can help you control the Heartless so they don't devour your blackened heart."
And out from the shadows came another toon villain. He was an orangish-brown wolf dressed like a pirate. His left ear was bitten and he wore a blue captain's coat with red and gold accents, light blue pants, and black boots. He was also carrying a sword attached to his belt. It was Don Karnage, leader of the Air Pirates.
"Now then Ms.-I mean Lady Tremiane, you'll find these Heartless pretty helpful." Karnage said as he snapped his fingers.
Instantly, Shadow and Soldier Heartless appeared, much to Lady Tremaine's surprise.
"They come in all shapes and sizes." Carnage added as he faced them. "Now then you darkened warriors of the dark, you will help this lady with whatever she needs you to do. And do NOT devour her heart."
The Heartless said nothing as they walked towards a cautious Lady Tremaine. Luckily, they didn't try anything.
"Thank you very much." she said. "I will use them when needed. For now, dismissed."
The Heartless vanished.
"Good luck with the wedding." Vanitas said as he opened a corridor of darkness. He and Karnage walked through it.
Throne room:
Vanitas and Karnage exited the corridor.
"Good work Karnage." said Vanitas. "For a singing pirate, you do have good control over the Heartless."
"I may be a singing pirate, but I'm still a pirate nonetheless." Karnage said defiantly. "Now then, when to we attack the travelers and steal their loot?"
"When the time is right, idiot." Vanitas replied. "We need to keep things steady before the wedding. Which means, we have to be discrete about how we're gonna get rid of Sora, his team, Cinderella, and those vermin mice friends of hers. Think you can handle it?"
"Ha! Of course I can!" Karnage said determinedly. He took out his sword and started doing some moves. "I am an expert sword fighter, as I have been a black-belt since the Gates of Shambhala! I have stolen various treasures on land and in the sky! And I have an amazing singing voice, better than that Dewey Duck anyday!"
Vanitas rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Come on, let's do some recon. Remember, follow my lead. I know my way around here." he told the pirate.
"Lead the way!" Karnage said as he placed his sword back.
Vanitas grunted as he opened another corridor.
Outside the dining room:
Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, Drizella, and Lucifer stood in front of the doors to the dining room with the Grand Duke.
"Madame, the King himself has instructed me to be solely in charge of this affair." The Grand Duke informed them. "I assure you I have it entirely under control."
"Oh, really?" Lady Tremiane quizzed with a skeptical look.
The GRand Duke turned around and opened the doors. And inside the dining hall were dozens of desserts. And in the center of it all was an extremely tall wedding cake.
Anastasia and Drizella gazed in awe.
"Look at that!" said Anastasia. "It's perfect!"
Both girls ran inside. Drizella grabbed a handful of frosting from the cake and stuffed her face, much to the shock and disgust of the Grand Duke.
Anastaisa picked up a large bundle of pink roses and sniffed them. "They smell lovely." she said.
Lady Tremaine looked at the Grand Duke. "Dispose of those roses at once." she demanded. "Anastasia's health is quite…"
"Ah-choo!" Anastasia sneezed, causing flower petals to fly into Drizella's face, sticking on the frosting making it look like she had a beard.
"..delicate." Lady Tremaine deadpanned. "I'm quite sure I mentioned that to you."
"Madame, I do not…" the Grand Duke began.
"Quite sure." she interrupted without even looking at him.
The Grand Duke frowned, but didn't bother arguing. "Yes. Well, perhaps the young ladies would like to sample the hors d'oeuvres." he suggested.
As Anastasia and Drizella marveled at the desserts, Lucifer leapt onto the table.
Lady Tremaine looked at the frosting and then at the Grand Duke. "Your Grace, a word." she said.
The Grand Duke sighed in exasperation and put on a fake smile.
"These preparations are entirely unacceptable." she said as they walked around the room.
Drizella began to stuff her face with desserts, much to Anastasia's disgust.
"What a pig!" she grimaced.
Drizella glared before grabbing an apple from a roasted pig and shoved it into her sister's mouth.
"Who's the pig now?" she taunted.
Anastaisa angrily spat the apple into Drizella's mouth, who took a bite out of ut before spitting it back all over the redhead, much to her disgust and anger. She then grabbed a plate of desserts.
Just as Lucifer was about to eat a large roasted fish, Drizella grabbed it, unintentionally grabbing Lucifer as well. She threw them both at Anastasia, the cat landing on her head.
The Grand Duke noticed, and the girls quickly put on innocent smiles. He had a suspicious look until Lady Tremaine snapped him out of it.
"You call this a cake? This wedding must reflect my daughter's elegance. Drizella will be singing in the ceremony." she said.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" The GRand Duke asked as the two sisters began to have a food fight.
Outside in the hallway, Kit was talking to his father. The King now wore a white coloured suit with gold buttons, matching epaulets and a single stripe on the sleeves, as well as balck hard sole shoes.
"Oh, wait till you meet her, Dad. She has everything." said Kit. "Breeding, refinement…"
"Yes, yes." the king nodded as he opened the door.
But as soon as he did, a pile of dessert flew out. The king and prince looked and saw the entire dining room as a complete mess. Food was splattered everywhere and Anastasia and Drizzela were covered in some as well. And no sooner did they open the door, the tall wedding cake fell over and splattered all over the floor… and the sisters.
Kit and the king stared as the latter whispered, "Are we in the right room?"
Lady Tremaine, seeing the king, quickly pointed to the Grand Duke with a stern expression.
"You! How could you let this happen?" she demanded accusingly, making him jump.
The Grand Duke stammered as he began to scoop up the cake. "Don't mind this. I shall have it cleaned up in no time." he said to the king.
"See that you do!" the king said firmly as he marched up to the monocle-wearing man. "I want this wedding to go off without a hitch. And if it doesn't…" he added before sliding his index finger across his neck.
"Oh, no! Please, sire... I can explain." the Grand Duke begged as he got on his knees, hands clasped. "I well, you see..."
"Father, allow me to introduce my bride-to-be, Anastasia." Kit interrupted. "Anastasia, this is my dad."
The king walked up to Anastasia and she smiled at him.
"It is an honor, Your Majesty." she said as she bowed.
"Charmed, I'm sure." the king said as he held out his hand… only for a clump of cake to fall off Anastasia's head into it.
Anastasia grew sheepish as the Grand Duke held up a plate for the king to put the cake on… only for him to wipe his hand clean on the Grand Duke's shoulder pad.
Kit looked on awkwardly as he asked, "So who's up for a dance?"
In the ballroom, once again, Sora's team had split up into two teams of 10.
Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, Daisy, Ven, and Xion, still shrunk, kept an eye on things from above in the chandelier. Everyone else was with Cinderella, Jaq, Gus, and Mary to figure out a plan to get the wand.
"So far that wicked old hag hasn't done anything else yet." surmised Riku.
"It's only a matter of time before she does." said Donald.
"Still no sign of any Heartless, Nobodies, or Unversed." said Mickey as he scouted the area.
"Since the Unversed are here, you think Vanitas is too?" Goofy asked Ven.
"Chances of running into him are high." Ven shrugged.
"C'mon, let's eavesdrop." said Sora.
The ten of them glanced down at the Tremaine ladies.
"Your little escapade back there could have cost us everything!" Lady Tremaine scolded Anastasia as she prepped her. "Don't ruin this!"
"Go get him, twinkle toes." Drizella snarked.
Anastsaisa, holding the font of her dress up off the ground so she wouldn't trip, walked over to Kit, each of them bowing. The King and the Grand Duke watched from a balcony.
"Oh, I don't dance much." Anastsaisa said nervously.
"You're too modest." Kit chuckled. "That's how we met, remember?"
"Oh, right. Of course." Anastasia said quickly.
"Eeeh! Sorry Kit, you wanna go for double-jeopardy where the scores can really change?" Sora joked after imitating a buzzer, making his friends chuckle a bit. (1)
"I'll never forget when I first touched…" Kit began as he touched Anastasia's hand, yet something felt off. "...your hand." he said with a small frown, feeling slightly off himself.
"Did you hear that?" asked Kairi. "The moment he touched Anastasia's hand, something felt off to him."
"That's odd." said Sora, scratching his head. "You'd think the spell would make him think it really was Anastasia instead of Cinderella."
"Unless the spell only worked on his mind instead of his heart." Minnie said in realization.
"Of course!" exclaimed Ven. "Listening to your mind is one thing, but listening to your heart is another."
"Let's hope he listens to his heart before it's too late." said Daisy.
Down below, the orchestra began to play. Kit and Anastasia began to dance. However, Anastasisa accidentally stepped on Kit's foot.
"Oh! I'm sorry. It won't happen again." she apologized.
As they continued to dance, she kept doing it over and over again, though Kit tried not to show his pain.
"I'm sorry. (step) I'm sorry. (step) I'm sorry. (step) I'm sorry. (almost falls into him) I'm sorry. (step) I'm sorry. (Step!) Oh! I'm sorry." she apologized.
The king looked blank at the scene while the Grand Duke looked confused. Lady Tremaine frowned while Drizella winced.
Even Sora and Co. had to wince at that.
"Yeesh, she wasn't kidding when she said she didn't dance much." Donald remarked.
Anastasia nearly fell into him again. And then she stepped back wrong and nearly fell over, accidentally ripping off Kit's gold shoulder pad.
"Gawrsh..." mumbled Goofy.
"That… could've gone better..." Daisy muttered,
Kit bent down to help her up.
The Grand Duke was now panicking as he tugged at his hair and ran out of the balcony. The king, on the other hand, seemed to look on fondly at Anastasia, as if he remembered something.
"Um... Are you OK?" Kit asked as he helped Anastasia to her feet.
"Oh! Oh, sorry, these aren't my shoes." Anastasia apologized sheepishly before realizing what she said. "I mean, what am I saying? Of course they're my shoes. Oh, I just don't know what's wrong with me today." she groaned as Kit took back his shoulder pad.
"Oh, no, no, it was my fault. I'm afraid I'm just not up-to-date on the latest dance steps." he assured her.
Just then, the Grand Duke walked up. "Sire, if I may, um, your fitting." he said.
"Oh. Oh, yes." Kit said as he handed the black-haired man his torn shoulder pad. "This was fun. Thank you. Well, if you'll please excuse me." he said to Anastasia.
"Um, come along, sire. And after the fitting, we must approve the butter sculpture. I think it's a stunning likeness." The GRand Duke said as they walked away.
Anastasia smiled at the scene… which was interrupted by Drizella mocking dancing beside her.
"Well, no grace, no poise. Other than that, it was lovely." she deadpanned.
"He was nice to me." Anaastasia said softly.
"That's because he's under a spell. He'd have to be, to fall for you." Drizella scoffed.
"It's more than that." Anastasia softly argued back.
"Ladies!"
Everyone looked and saw the King standing high on the balcony.
Lady Tremaine quickly joined her daughters and they bowed as she said, "Your Majesty!"
"I need to speak with my future daughter-in-law immediately." the king said.
The three began to walk when he added, "Alone!"
Anastasia nervously walked in the king's direction.
"Let's make a run for it while we can." Drizella whispered to her mother.
Up above, Sora and his friends watched Anastasia exit the ballroom. Ven turned to his friends and did some hand gestures. The other nine blinked in confusion.
"You want us to frost a birthday cake?" Sora asked. (2)
Ven deadpanned at them before gesturing to the direction Anastasia walked off to.
"Oh! Follow her! I get it!" Sora said in realization.
The ten summoned their gliders and then flew off down the hall Anastasia went down.
Down another hallway, the Grand Duke was talking to Kit. But the prince seemed to be lost in his thoughts.
"No, sire, sire, I'll have a dozen dance instructors sent in immediately." the Grand Duke told him.
"Something's wrong." Kit said.
"An army of dance instructors." the Grand Duke said as he tried to put on Kit's shoulder pad but failed.
"No, no." Kit said as he looked at his hand. "I thought... Why, I was sure it was Anastasia last night. But... ...well, just now when I touched her hand... ...I felt... ...nothing." he said in confusion.
In another room, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Xion, and Ven watched from a hidden mousehole as the king and Anastasia entered. The room was filled with numerous paintings of pictures.
"Oh, I can explain everything, Your Majesty. I have this, this inner ear thing and, and…" Anastasia stammered.
"You, my dear, are a dreadful dancer." the king chuckled.
"Yes, I know, Your Majesty." Anastasia sighed.
"Reminds me of my queen." the king said as he approached a small table with a gold heart-shaped box on it.
The king gazed at the largest painting in the room. Sora and Co. did as well. It showed a picture of a young king dancing with a red-haired woman in a gold dress as she stepped on his foot.
"That must be Kit's late mother," whispered Xion.
"The queen." Goofy whispered in awe.
"She trod on my feet too. But she took very good care of my heart." the king said fondly.
Anastaisa perked up a bit.
"Come here, my dear. I want to show you something." said the king as he held the heart-shaped box. He then gestured to the balcony. He and Anastasia walked outside.
"Follow them." Sora whispered.
The ten world-travellers quickly, but quietly, ran after them and hid behind the doors, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Donald, and Goofy on one side and Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Xion, and Ven on the other.
"A princess is bestowed with many riches. Land, jewels, horses." said the king as he and Anastasia looked at the view of the kingdom. "But today I wish to give you something much more valuable."
Anastasia instantly beamed as the king held up the box. He then opened it, revealing… a seashell.
"Oh." Anastasia said sadly.
The king took it out and looked at it with a longing look. "Isn't it lovely?" he asked.
"A seashell?" Anastaisa questioned.
"This shell was the queen's most treasured possession." the king explained. Anastasia and the ten Keybalde Masters listened in. "We found it while walking by the water the day we met. You see, we reached for it at the same moment, and when our hands touched... that's when I knew I had found true love."
"You knew that just by touching her hand?" Anastasia asked, intrigued.
"There's no more powerful force in the world than true love." the king said as he handed Anastasia the seashell. Anastasia smiled as she held it in her grasp.
"Aww, that's so sweet." Minnie gushed with a smile.
"So that's how the king and queen met all those years ago." mused Kairi.
"It's like they were made for each other, seashell lovers and all." chuckled Ven.
"I liked collecting seashells too." said Xion. "During my time in the Organization after missions."
"Really?" asked Daisy.
"I think that's a nice hobby." said Ven. He then thought back to the king's words. "'When our hands touched… that's when I knew I had found true love…'"
Ven and Xion's hands were near one another as Ven spoke. Then, they heard the king clear his throat.
"Well, that's all. Run along, now. Run along." he said to Anastsaisa.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Anastasia smiled as they began to leave.
Sora and Co. quickly ran off to the mouse hole.
Later, Anastasia was walking through the hallway, talking to herself happily.
"I do. Oh, I do. I do. I do. I really do."
Anastasia then exited the hallway towards the flower bridge. She smiled at the sight of some pink butterflies. "Oh! Oh, I do."
Anastasiaa began to sing as she picked up a set of flowers.
(I Do from Cinderella III: A Twist in Time plays)
Anastasia: Now there is finally someone to love me.
He'll show me a world that I never knew.
With two simple words.
All my dreams will come true.
I do, I do.
Anastasia set the flowers down on the railing as the petals came off of them one by one and flowed away in the wind.
Meanwhile in the castle hallway, Sora, peared out from behind a painting covering a hole in the wall.
"OK, cost's clear!" he said to his friends.
Sora jumped down from the hole and rolled away in a wheellike way as the others jumped down. (3)
"Any sign of the others?" asked Mickey.
"Over here!"
The ten looked and saw Aqua, Terra, Roxas, Lea, Naminé, Isa, Myde, Max, Oswald, and Ortensia come up.
"Where's Cinderella, Jaq, Gus, and Mary?" asked Riku.
"Looking for Cinderella's step family." replied Max.
"She said we should meet her by the room her stepfamily's residing in." said Ortensia.
"How will we know which room it is?" asked Goofy.
"She said to look for a room that might be glowing green." said Terra.
"Ah. The wand's tainted magic." nodded Riku.
"Alright, let's go find it." said Sora.
The group nodded as they walked down the hall. But no sooner did they start walking, they walked right past Vanitas, who was shrunken as well and leaning against the wall casually.
Ven spotted him. "Oh, hey Vanitas." he greeted casually as they walked past.
"Hey." Vanitas greeted with a smirk.
Everyone froze and turned around abruptly to face the jet-black-haired Organization member.
"Vanitas!" exclaimed Ven.
"Took you idiots long enough." Vanitas snarked as he walked away from the wall and in front of the heroes.
"Should've known you'd be here with all the Unversed acting like parasites to this world." Lea muttered.
"What can I say? I'm the only one who controls them." Vanitas shrugged. "So you bozos have probably gotten the idea of why I'm here."
"To help cast this world into darkness? We've heard it all before." said Sora.
"And I'm guessing Cinderella's stepfamily are your pawns." said Roxas.
"Tremaine's daughters are the pawns, especially Anastasia." said Vanitas. "Their mom is actually willing to work with us. Once Anastasia marries Prince Charming, we'll stage an accident for him and the king. Then Lady Tremaine will swoop in, take over, and then the Castle of Dreams will return to the darkness where it belongs."
"In your dreams!" snarled Kairi. "This world suffered already in the original timeline and we're not gonna let suffer from you creeps again!"
"Plus, if Cinderella doesn't get married to the prince, then you don't have a Princess of Heart!" Sora snarked.
Vanitas laughed.
"You idiot, Cinderella wasn't an original princess of heart through marriage, it was through her heart!" Vanitas laughed.
Sora froze in embarrassment. "Oh. Right." he said sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Either way, you're done messing with this world!" said Mickey as he summoned Kingdom Key W.
"Are we?" Vanitas smirked as he snapped his fingers.
Instantly, dozens of Unversed spawned. There were Shoegzers, Yellow Mustards, Belly Balloons, Ringers, and red, yellow, & blue Glidewinders.
"Have fun. I gotta return to my partner I got assigned with." said Vanitas as he snapped open a corridor of darkness.
"What partner?" asked Aqua.
She got no response as Vanitas had already walked through.
"Forget that putz, let's deal with these jackasses!" said Sora as he summoned Sweet Dreams.
Riku summoned Guardian Bell, Kairi summoned Destiny's Embrace, Donald summoned Unbound and Meteor Staff, Goofy summoned Royal Radiance and Seven Elements, Minnie summoned Starlight, Daisy summoned Spellbinder, Max summoned Fenrir, Oswald summoned Classic Tone, Ortensia summoned Zero/One, Terra summoned Victory Line, Aqua summoned Stroke of Midnight, Ven summoned Sweet Stack, Roxas summoned Sign of Innocence, Xion summoned True Light's Flight, Naminé summoned Shooting Star, Isa summoned Blue Moon, Lea summoned Flame Liberator, and Myde summoned Mystic Water. They all then got into fighting positions.

Riku started the battle this time by casting a Quake spell at some Shoegazers, sending them hurtling into the air. The silverhead teen then jumped up after them and slashed them into smithereens. Sora followed suit as he slashed at some Glidewinders before he froze them in place with Deep Freeze before slashing them to pieces in three swipes. Kairi used Zero Graviga to launch some Ringers into the air and then casted Flower Shoot against them. Naminé bashed her Keyblade against some of the Belly Balloons' heads before she blasted them away with a Mega Flare spell. Isa jammed his Keyblade into a Belly Balloon and sent it crashing into some Shoegazers before destroying them all with an Exo Spark spell. Myde slashed some Yellow Mustards across their faces before he casted Blizzard to destroy them. Roxas dodged some attacks from some Glidewinders by doing some backflips before he destroyed them with Triple Plasma. Lea slashed at some Ringers before he used his pyro powers to set them ablaze, allowing him to finish them off with a Triple Burst spell. Xion cartwheeled away from some attacks from three Belly Balloons before she weakened them with a Poison spell and then killed them with a Time Bomb spell. Mickey triple somersaulted out of the way of some Yellow Mustards flying at him before he destroyed said surrounding Unversed with a Transcendence spell.
Terra blasted orbs of light at some Belly Balloons before he annihilated them with an Ignite spell. Aqua used Tornado to suck up eight Shoegzaers before she blasted them to death with Firaga Burst. Ven bashed some Yellow Mustards with his Keyblade before he jumped up and casted Fission Firaga on them. Minnie unleashed a Flower Shoot against some Glindwinders, distracting them so she could slash them all away. Daisy bashed some Ringers while ducking from their attacks before she casted Wind Tracer on them. Max slashed some Yellow Mustards before he used Blackout to confuse them and then finished them off with a Meteor spell. Oswald flew around some Shoegazers before he fired Dark Firaga spells at them, weakening them before he slashed them to death. Ortensia jumped over some Glindwinders trying to attack her and she blasted them back with a Thundaga spell. Donald and Goofy teamed up against the last of the Belly Balloons. They slammed their Keyblades on the floor with a Gravity spell, launching them into the air. Goofy threw his shield around them, slashing them instantly as Donald destroyed them with a Thundaga Shot spell with his stadd.
Seeing that only a handful of Unversed were left, Sora pulled out the Feather Charm.
"Give me strength!" he shouted.
"Sora!" came a voice.
Out of nowhere, something swooped down and picked Sora up. It was a young boy with pale skin, black eyebrows, brown eyes, and short, orange hair. He wore a green cap with a red feather in it on his head, a light green, short-sleeved tunic, and green tights. He also wore tan, pointed shoes and wore a thin, brown strap around his waist to hold his dagger.
With him was a small fairy. She had blonde hair tied into a bun on the top of her head by a blue ribbon, pale skin, black eyebrows, blue eyes and wings, wore a short, green, strapless dress, and green slippers, each sporting a white puffball on the front. She also had a golden glow around her.
It was Peter Pan and Tinker Bell.
Peter had taken Sora high into the air as Tinker Bell flew around them.
"Is it our turn Sora?" Peter asked.
"You bet Peter!" Sora replied.
Peter beamed. "Alright! C'mon Tink! Let's go!"
Tinker Bell nodded as she threw some of her pixie dust and Sora, allowing him to fly.
Together, Sora and Peter, Keyblade and dagger in grasps, flew around and slashed the Unversed. Tinker Bell used her pixie dust to make them float up into the air so Sora and Peter could surprise-slash them. They even used their weapons to stab them in the chests, killing them instantly.
They flew high up and around, dodging the Unversed's attacks.
Soon, Sora and Peter had slashed the last of the Unversed at the same time.
"Thanks for the help Peter Pan!" Sora smiled.
"Anytime Sora!" the young boy replied.
Tinker Bell then went up to Sora's face.
"Oh yeah! You too Tinker Bell!" Sora chuckled.
Tinker Bell smiled in approval.
"Well, off to Neverland!" said Peter as he crowed like a rooster, both him and Tinker Bell disappearing in a flash of light.
(Larxene Boss Fight from Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories ends)
Keyblades, staff, and shield were dismissed.
"And another hoard of Unversed bite the dust." Lea smirked.
"Say Sora, how do you know Peter Pan and Tinker Bell?" asked Aqua.
"We visited their world duirng Ansem's reign." Sora replied.
"It was mostly Captain Hook's ship." added Donald.
"And we got to fly too. A-hyuck!" added Goofy.
Terra faced the former Organization members. "What about you guys?" he asked.
"During missions." Lea replied.
"Tink made Lea and I fly too." added Roxas.
"Nice." smirked Terra.
Just then, a faint glow appeared behind the heroes.
"What's that?" asked Myde. "Is someone havin' a shindig?"
Then there was the sound of shimmering.
"It's magic!" said Donald.
"It must be Cinderella's step family!" said Goofy.
They looked down the hall and saw a green glow come from the door locks of the last room.
"The Tremianes' room. Gotcha." smirked Riku.
Just then, they saw Cinderella appear. They all quickly ran for her.
"Cinderella!" Sora called.
Cinderella turned and smiled when she saw Sora and Co. Just then, one of her bluebird friends appeared.
"You go get the Prince." she whispered.
The birds nodded and flew off.
Cinderella walked over to the door and peered through the lock. Jaq, Gus, and Mary hopped out of Cinderella's apron pocket and looked under the door. Sora and his friends ran over to join them and bent down as well.
"Bigger! Ooh, let's try this!"
Inside, Drizella was messing around with the wand, using it to give her a new hairstyle, and fancy jewelry… and then a ridiculously big and colorful dress, purple hair, and an over-the-top-crown.
"Oh, that's gorgeous. Lovely." Drizella laughed.
Cinderella looked confused while Sora and his team had WTF? looks.
Lady Tremaine came up to Drizella and snatched the wand from her.
"Drizella, stop that this instant!" she snapped as she turned Drizella back to normal... while leaving her hair spiky and all over the place, making her pout.
"This wand is not a toy." Lady Tremaine said as she set it in a dresser drawer. She then locked it as she set the key in her pocket.
"It's in the dresser. Key's in her pocket. I've got to get in there." Cinderella told them as Lady Tremaine tried to comb Drizella's hair back to normal, much to her painful dismay.
"Cinderelly!" gasped Jaq.
"They'll see you!" added Gus.
"We can't risk you getting caught now!" added Mary.
"Yeah, too dangerous." nodded Jaq.
"But I…" Cinderella began.
"We'll take care of it!" Jaq smiled.
"And we'll help protect them." said Sora with a smile.
The other 19 world-travellers nodded.
"I do. I do." came a voice.
Everyone turned and saw Anastasia's shadow down the hall.
"I do. I do. Oh, I do." Anastasia said dreamily as she entered the room.
What she hadn't noticed was that Cinderella had hidden behind some tapestry.
Cinderella walked out with Jaq, Gus, and Mary in her hands. Sora and Co. dropped down from the top, having used their gliders to escape up to there, and then used Zero Gravity to slow their descent.
Cinderella set her mice friends down. "Alright, but whatever you do, stay clear of Lucifer." she whispered.
"Zugk-zugk. No Lucifee." promised Gus.
"But if he is a problem, we'll handle him." promised Ven.
"Can we handle a large fat cat?" aksed Myde.
"I have." said Ven.
"Really?" Xion asked.
"It's true!" said Jaq.
"C'mon, let's go!" said Mary.
With that, the three brown mice and 20 worldly travelers squeezed under the door… through Jaq and Mary had to help get Gus unstuck.
"What happened? What'd the King say?" Last Tremaine asked Anastasia.
"He's really very nice." she replied happily. "He gave me his most prized possession."
She showed her mother the seashell. She was anything but impressed.
"A seashell?" she muttered.
"It's a symbol of true love." Anastasia argued.
"Oh, please." Lady Tremaine muttered after putting Drizella's bow back on.
"How special." Drizella said sarcastically.
"Oh what would you know?" Kairi muttered to the stepsister as she and her friends hid under a table.
"Say is it just me, or does Anastasia sound exactly like Daisy?" asked Max.
Everyone listened in.
"Oh but mother, he said that his heart…" Anastasia began.
"What's love compared to the power we hold with the wand?" Lady Tremaine interrupted. "You will learn that soon enough."
"Quackers! She does sound like me!" gasped Daisy. (4)
"And her mother sounds like Maleficent." added Oswald. (5)
"Come on fellas!" said Mickey.
Carefully, they all ran towards Lady Tremaine near the fireplace.
Cinderella watched through the lock.
"Mother I… I… I want the Prince to love me." said Anastasia. "I think he could."
As Drizella laughed obnoxiously, the 23 small heroes found themselves near a sleeping Lucifer, who rolled over, his tail landing on the brown mice.
"Oh, you're serious." Drizella said after her laughing.
Sora, Lea, and Isa lifted the tail off Jaq, Gus, and Mary and set it to the side as they all ran away. What they didn't see was that the tip of the tail landed on the cinders.
"Well, the King likes me too. He treated me like his own daughter." Anastasia continued. She began to feel some guilt inside of her for all of the deceiving. "Maybe we shouldn't be doing this."
"Maybe I should have put on the slipper." Drizeela said sarcastically.
"Maybe we don't even need the wand." Anastasia said.
Since Lady Tremaine was standing near the fireplace tools, Jaq, Gus, and Mary scurried to the top so they could reach the key sticking out of her pocket, though it was a bit of a struggle.
Sora and Co. kept watch from down below.
Then, Roxas began to hear something.
"Uh guys?" he asked.
"What is it Roxas?" asked Naminé.
"Do you hear something sizzling a bit?" the old Organization's number XIII asked.
The 20 listened and then saw that smoke was coming from Lucifer's tail. To make matters worse, Lucifer began to wake up as he felt that something was off. He then woke up and saw that the tip of his tail was orange… before suddenly bursting into flames!
"Oh-" Kairi began.
"-Crud." finished Xion. (6)
Lucifer screamed in terror, launching himself into the air. The Tremaines watched in shock just as Jaq grabbed the key and he, Gus, and Mary fell off the fire tools. Luckily, Sora caught Jaq, Riku caught Gus, and Kairi caught Mary.
"You guys ok?" asked Kairi.
"We are now." smield Jaq.
"Can't say the same for him." Mary giggled, pointing up.
Lucifer flew through the air and crashed into a table with a tea set on it.
Cinderella winced as she covered her eyes.
Lucifer ran around in terror as Drizeela shouted, "Somebody put out the cat!"
"Come on, let's hide while they're distracted!" Sora said to his teammates.
Jaq, Gus, and Mary held the key and ran off under a teacup as Sora and his team hid around the room, making sure Lucifer didn't spot them.
Lucifer ran around Anastasia in a panic frenzy.
"Lucifer! Oh, hold still! Stop!" Anastasia shouted.
Then out of nowhere, Anastasia hit Lucifer with a pillow, making him have funny expressions on his face before the redhead hit him away.
Lucifer crashed into the wall and landed on the dresser, knocking over a water pitcher and plate, making them shatter on the ground.
Anastasia stared as she dropped the pillow.
"Lucifer!" Lady Tremaine scolded.
The soggy cat just meowed.
"Someone fetch the housekeeper." Lady Tremaine ordered.
Anastaisa and Drizella raced to the service rope. But just before Anastasia could pull it, there was a knock on the door.
"Housekeeping." came a high-pitched voice.
Anastaisa and Drizella stared in surprise as Lady Tremaine suspiciously walked towards the door and opened it. There stood Cinderella with a servant's hat and apron on, trying to disguise herself.
"Well, you certainly came quickly." Lady Tremaine mused.
"We're very good." Cinderella said in a fake voice.
Narrowing her eyes at the servant, Lady Tremaine let her inside. Cinderella walked in carrying a bucket.
"Clean this up." Lady Tremaine ordered. "My daughter needs her beauty sleep before tonight's wedding."
"Think that'll be enough time?" Drizella asked sarcastically.
As Lucifer licked his tail, Jaq, Gus, and Mary scurried around in the teacup as Sora and Co. peared out from the shadows.
"What's going on here?" asked Goofy.
"I think we just a little bit of help." said Aqua. "She's distracting the Tremaines so the mice can get to the dresser."
"Be ready to run fellas." Mickey said as everyone nodded.
"And have your weapons out just in case we get uninvited company." added Ven.
Everyone nodded as signature Keyblades were summoned.
Cinderella dunked a rag into the water just as the mice came by in the teacup. They accidentally hit a dresser leg, making them drop the key. Jaq quickly reached out and grabbed it. Looking around, Cinderella quickly tapped it under the dresser with her foot and began to scrub the floor.
"Keep out of the maid's way, girls. There's a lot to do before the wedding." Lady Tremaine told her daughters.
Jaq, Gus, and Mary made their way up the dresser. Gus and Mary helped lower Jaw before the former let go unexpectedly. Marey gasped and peered over. Gus, realizing what he did, quickly followed. To their relief, Jaq had gotten it in the keyhole.
As Cinderella scrubbed the floor, Lady Tremaine suddenly appeared in the reflection of the water in the bucket.
"Isn't that right, Cinderella?" Lady Tremaine smirked before taking off Cinderella's servant hat.
Sora and Co. stared in horror.
"Shit!" gasped Lea.
"Oh crap." muttered Isa.
"I didn't know you worked here." Anastasia gasped as Drizella frowned.
At that moment, Gus and Mary helped Jaq drag the wand out of the drawer.
"You're far more persistent than I thought." Lady Tremaine smirked as Lucifer walked up next to her.
"I won't let you get away with this." Cinderella said with a glare.
"We already have." her stepmother smirked.
"I don't think so." Cinderella said as she turned to her mice friends. "Jaq! Gus! Mary!" she shouted as she ran for the door.
Lady Tremaine turned around in shock as the three mice jumped off the dresser and landed on the floor before quickly running off.
"The wand!" gasped Lady Tremaine.
Anastasia and Drizella jumped in fear as the mice ran past them, followed by Lucifer.
Cinderella shoved the door open as she exited the room and the mice followed.
"Us coming, Cinderelly!" shouted Gus.
"Stop them!" shouted Lady Tremaine.
"I don't think so Tremiane!" Sora shouted as he and his friends came out of the shadows.
"What on Earth!?" Lady tremaine gasped.
"More Mice!" Anastasia and Dirzella screamed.
"No… they're the problem I was warned about." Lady Tremiane sneered in realization.
"You're not getting that wand back!" shouted Ven.
"Everyone hold them back!" shouted Sora.
Using their Keyblades, the 20 Keyblade Masters casted Deep Freeze on the ground, cueing the Tremaines and Lucifer to slip and fall.
"That's our cue! C'mon fellas!" shouted Mickey.
"Sayonara suckers!" Lea laughed.
Sora and Co. ran behind Jaq and Gus and out the door. Lucifer tried to catch them. But Cinderella shut the door just in time, causing Lucifer to run into it, meowing in pain.
Cinderella ditched the apron as she and her friends ran down the hall.
"Yeah! Whoo-hoo!" Gus cheered.
"We did it!" cried Naminé.
"Don't think we're out of the woods yet!" said Kairi.
As Lady Tremaine opened the door, several guards ran up.
"That servant girl is a thief! Get her!" Lady Tremaine shouted at them.
Down the hall, everyone was still running.
"How come we haven't grown back to normal size yet?" asked Max.
"I'm as clueless as you are man." said Lea.
Suddenly, they heard meowing. The 23 small heroes turned and saw Lucifer come at them with a crazy look on his face.
"It's Lucifer!" cried Daisy.
"Oh no!" exclaimed Minnie.
"Someone stop that crazy feline!" shouted Myde.
"Zugk-zugk!" Jaq said in fear before remembering what he and his best friends were holding, and which direction it was facing. Jaq grinned as he shouted, "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!"
This time, white magic shot from the wand and hit Lucifer, turning him into a jack-in-the-box.
"Nice hit Jaq!" congratulated Sora.
"Keep running guys!" shouted Aqua.
Even as a jack-in-the-box, Lucifer still hopped after them.
Soon, they ran down the stairs, but they saw a guard in front of them. Then, two more came from behind.
"Seize her at once!" Lady Tremaine shouted from an upper level.
Lucifer bounced the steps. But he accidentally knocked one of the guards into another and the three toppled down the stairs. Cinderella stepped to the side as the three crashed into the third guard.
"You incompetent fools!" Lady Tremaine seethed.
Cinderella slid down the railing and kept running.
"Thanks for the help Lucifer!" Donald teased as he and his friends continued running.
Jaq, Gus, and Mary slid down the other railing and jumped off Lucifer's head. But before he could grab them in his jaws,
"Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" Jaq shouted.
A burst of magic struck Licider again, turning back to a normal cat… shrunken down smaller than a mouse. He gave a faint meow.
Gus chuckled in amusement as he began to pet the tiny Lucifer. But then, Lucifer slammed Gus onto the ground and dragged him into a fight cloud.
"Gus Gus!" cried Jaq as he tried to help his friend, only to get dragged in too.
"Jaq! Gus!" Mary cried in horror before trying to aim the wand at the fight cloud. "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" Mary shouted.
A blast of magic struck Lucifer, sending him flying away.
Jaq and Gus got back up.
"Nice shot Mary." Jaq said as he hugged his friend.
"Oh thank you Jaq." Mary smiled with a blush as she gave Jaq a peck on the cheek, making the mouse blush as well.
Gus giggled at his friend's expense, which turned to fear when they heard a high-pitched screech.
Lucifer was running up to them. The three grabbed the wand and ran into a mousehole. Unfortunately, Lucifer was able to fit inside. There was a quick fight before the mice ran out.
"Run for it!'' jaq shouted as Lucifer stood in the holeway. They turned around and Jaq shouted, "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!"
Another blast of magic hit Lucifer… only for his nose, then his toes, and then his entire body to grow.
"RUN!" Mary screamed as the mice ran away in fear.
Meanwhile, Cinderella and the world-travelers ran out into the hall and Cinderelal slammed the doors so the guards shut before grabbing a sword forma knight statue and then placed it through the handles so the guards couldn't get in.
"Nice work Cinderella!" said Sora.
"Now what?" asked Ven.
"I told my little bird friends to find the prince." said Cinderella.
Down the hall, said bluebirds were still looking for Kit. They found him in the gym, practicing his fencing. He was also in the same attire he wore earlier that day. The birds swirled around him.
"Oh, hello." he greeted.
Then, one bird grabbed him by the right sleeve and then the other by the right pant leg and began dragging him. "Oh! Hey! What's going on?" he exclaimed as they let go.
"Hmm." Kit muttered as he pickled up his sword until the bird came back, tweeting urgently. "Uh…" he began as they started dragging him by his sleeves. "Alright, I'm coming." he chuckled.
Back in the hall, Sora, Cinderella, and Co. were still waiting when...
"Cinderelly!"
They all looked up and saw Jaq, Gus, and Mary carrying the wand on the edge of the railing design.
"There they are!" exclaimed Isa.
"Good work you three!" cheered Ven.
Suddenly, Gus bumped into the design and and the wand nearly fell over
"Gus Gus!" Jaq screamed as he reached over and grabbed his best friend by the tail, nearly falling over himself as he used his tail to tie around the design.
"Oh thank goodness." Aqua said in relief.
"We got more company!" shouted Naminé.
Everyone turned and saw up above dozens of shrunken Unversed. Archravens and Axe Flappers were starting to head towards the mice.
"Oh, for crying into your pub cheese soup!" exclaimed Lea. (7)
"Leave them to us!" shouted Sora as everyone summoned their signature weapons.
"Go. I'll be fine!" said Cinderella.
Sora and Co. used their gliders to fly up and over the railings and after landing, began to fight the Unversed.
"Catch!" shouted Gus as Jaq helped him toss the wand.
It flew through the air just as Cinderella caught it.
The doors bounded harder just as the bluebirds arrived with Kit. He and Cinderella looked at each other for a moment before Cinderella held the wand up.
"Lift the spell. Let him remember. Bibbidi-bobbidi...!" Cinderella began before the doors burst open and the guards stopped her.
Kit stared in shock and confusion.
Jaq, Gus, and Mary stared in horror. Gus angrily puffed up his chest and tried to march at them, only for Jaq and Mary to restrain him.
No sooner did they slay the rest of the Unversed, Sora and Co. joined the mice and looked on in horror.
"Oh no…" gasped Kairi.
To make matters worse, someone grabbed the wand out of Cinderella's hand. It was Lady Tremaine, who smirked evilly at Cinderella.
"No!" Cinderella cried.
"What's going on?" Kit asked as he ran up the stairs to see what was happening.
"My apologies. It's a problem with my maid. She's apparently turned to being a theif" Lady Tremaine lied calmly.
"You rotten bitch." snarled Naminé.
"I'd like to give her a real ass-kicking." snarled Max.
"I am not a thief." Cinderella protested as she looked at Kit. "You're under a spell. That's why you don't remember me. Please! Just listen!"
Cinderella managed to break free and she held out her hand as it touched Kit's before the guard dragged it away.
For a moment, Kit felt something as he looked at his hand.
"Look, he knows something." Sora said to his friends.
"'When our hands touched... that's when I knew I had found true love.'" Ven muttered in realization.
"Whaddya talkin' about?" asked Lea.
"The king told Anastasia how he met his queen." Ven explained. "When they tried to reach for the same seashell, their hands touched, and that's how they knew they found true love."
"Just by touching their hands…" murmured Roxas as he glanced at Naminé.
"Yeah, and that's what almost happened wirth Kit." added Sora.
"Let go!" Cinderella shouted as the guards held her hands behind her back. One then led her away.
Kit tried to walk up to her, but Lady Tremaine blocked him.
"Poor child. Obviously out of her mind." she said with faux sympathy.
"I hope she'll be alright." Kit said in concern. "She seemed, you know, nice when I met her. Well, maybe a little confused, but, still there's something about her…"
"Oh, don't trouble yourself, Your Highness. I'll see to it, personally, that she gets all the help she needs." Lady Tremaine fake promised.
The out of nowhere, Drizella appeared and leaned over the railing with a smirking face and shouted with a laugh, "Nice try, but we won!"
"You won? What do you mean?" Kit asked.
Lady Tremaine's eyes widened before glaring at her daughter.
Drizella realized what she said. "Uh... Well... ...nothing." she said with a fake smile and ran off.
"I... um…" kit began before facing the older woman. "You'll see she's taken care of?" he asked.
"Personally, Your Highness." Lady Tremaine fake-promised.
Kit said nothing as he left. Lady Tremaine snapped her fingers. The other guard walked up and she said to him without even looking, "Put her on the next ship leaving the kingdom. I want her banished forever."
Sora, Jaq, Gus, Mary, and Co. gasped in horror.
The guard nodded as he walked off.
Lady Tremaine then turned to a scared Drizella.
"And you... Keep your mouth shut or you're next." seh threatened.
Drizella nervously nodded as she ran off.
"OK, that is low." snarled Oswald.
"Threatening her own daughter like that." Lea said in disgust.
"It's official, she's worse than her own daughters put together." said Roxas.
"No wonder Cinderella lived a life of hell." muttered Xion.
"But at least she had you three and the other mice and birds." Aqua said to Jaq, Gus, and Mary, who smiled.
"So what do we do now?" asked Myde.
"Should we try to bust Cinderella out?" asked Sora. "It worked last time when we broke Eugene out."
"Yeah but that was because we had the thugs from the Snuggly Duckling helping us." reminded Riku.
"And we don't know any here." added Terra.
"Then what can we do?" asked Minnie. "We can't just let Cinderella get banished for something she didn't do."
"We have to tell pricney about what's goin' on!" said Jaq.
"And how are we gonna do that?" asked Sora.
"We need to get him alone somehow." said Mary.
"Ooh! Have the birds bring him again!" suggested Gus.
"Good thinking Gus." smiled Sora.
"But where do we bring him?" asked Naminé.
"Somewhere nice and quiet, like a library or a study." suggested Riku.
"Right." said Sora. He turned to the mice. "Jaq, Gus, Mary, find the prince and bring him to the study. We'll meet you there."
"Zugk-Zugk!" saluted Jaq.
With that, Sora and his team went one way while Jaq, Gus, and Mary went to find Kit.
Meanwhile, Lady Tremaine was walking back to her room when she heard a familiar voice.
"So how goes it?"
She turned around and saw Vanitas casually leaning against the wall.
"Quite well Vanitas." Lady Tremaine replied. "I still have the wand and Cinderella has been dealt with like you requested. She'll be on a ship banished from the kingdom forever."
"Good. The superiors are gonna like that." Vanitas said in approval. "You just keep up appearances until the wedding. Then after a while, we'll make our move and soon, you'll be leading this kingdom of darkness under Maleficent's rule."
"Excellent." Lady Tremaine smirked. "And what of Cinderella?"
"I sent Karnage to pick her up." Vanitas replied. "Once the ship she's on sails out, he'll intercept her with a fleet of Nobodies ships Luxord let him use. Once he captures her, we'll keep her locked up in the castle until we can use her and the other 7 lights to forge the χ-blade."
"I thought you had other ladies for that." Lady Tremaine said in confusion.
"We do." Vanitas replied. "But if we can't track down all 7 new lights, we'll go the old route instead. Or maybe just use them after the new ones for a power boost if it's possible."
"In that case, best of luck." said Lady Tremaine.
Vanitas nodded as he teleported away. Lady Tremaine then continued walking down the hall.
In the gym, the king was being measured for his suit by a tailor.
"Quite fetching." hwe said to himself in a mirror that made him look tall and robust. "Ouch! Careful with those pins down there." he said to the tailor.
Just then, Kit entered the room. "Dad, something strange is going on." he said to his father.
"I'll say. My son is finally getting married." the king replied.
"No. No, I mean something's wrong." Kit said as he looked out the window.
"Oh, nonsense, my boy. You wanted the girl who fit the glass slipper." the king said dismissively.
At that moment, Jaq, Gus, and Mary crawled up into some folded gym mats
"Yes, but…"" Kit began.
"Now you've got her." the king said before going back to looking at himself.
Kit sighed.
"Hey." called Gus.
"That's what I'm worried about." Kit muttered to himself, unsure of what to think anymore.
"Psst! Hey, Princey! Prince!" called Jaq.
"Over here!" called Mary.
"Princey! Psst! Psst!" called Gus.
Kit looked over and saw the three mice. He jumped back in shock up against a table. He looked around before pointing to himself.
"Me?" he asked.
"Yes, you. Let's go." said Jaq.
"Follow us!" said Mary.
The three mcie laid down the gym mats and scurried out the door.
Kit shook his head in confusion. "OK, first birds, now mice." he murmured to himself.
"Come on!" called Gus.
Kit looked down and saw Gus waving at him from the doorway before running off.
Kit looked around before walking through the doorway and into his father's study.
"Hello? Hello? Uh... little mice?" he called out looking into the shelves. Seeing no sign of them, he sighed as he rubbed his head. "Well, it's official. I've lost my mind. First I was hijacked by birds, and now I'm talking to imaginary mice." he muttered as he leaned against a large table.
Just then, he heard some tweeting and saw the two bluebirds open the curtains, allowing sunlight into the room from an open window.
Then, he heard someone whistle.
"Hey, Prince Prince!" called Jaq. "Down here!"
Kit turned and saw Jaq, Gus, and Mary on the desk, jumping up and down.
"OK. Maybe not so imaginary." Kit muttered.
"Oh it's real Kit." came a voice.
Kit looked to the left side of the the desk and saw Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Lea, Isa, Roxas, Xion, Naminé, Myde, Terra, Aqua, Ven, Minnie, Daisy, Max, oswald, and Ortensia. It had been Lea who spoke.
"Sora? Kairi? Everyone?" Kit asked in surprise.
"It's us Kit." smiled Sora.
"W-What happened to you guys?" Kit asked in confusion. "Why are you the size of mice?"
"It's a long story Kit." said Ven.
"And we know you've been through a lot today." added Aqua. "But trust us, this will all make sense."
Kit shrugged. "Ok. Well since you guys have saved the castle from those weird creatures I guess I can trust you." he said.
"That's all we ask for." said Mickey with a smile.
Jaq, Gus, and Mary began to talk at once, trying to explain the situation. Unfortunately, due to talking at once and their high-pitched voices, all Kit heard was gibberish.
"Wait, hold on. Hold on. I think I understand." said Kit as he sat down. "...Actually, I got nothing."
"Nuggets." grunted Lea.
Jaq and Gus looked at each other. "Duh... whats we gonna do?" asked Gus.
Then, Mary spotted a wind-up ballerina toy high above the desk.
"I have an idea." she said to her friends.
Jaq and Gus saw the toy and smiled and nodded. The three mice scurried up the books.
"What are they doing?" asked Terra.
"Dunno. I'd say we watch." said Sora.
Mary turned the crank on the toy as it began to spin around while playing its music. She then ran back to join the world-travellers. Gus pretended to dance with the toy as Jaq stood next to him
(At the Ball from Cinderella III plays)
Jaq: You were dancing with a very pretty girl
Gus: Pretty girl
Kit smiled at the memory as Jaq ran down the books, intentionally losing his shoe, imitating the night Cinderella lost her slipper.
Jaq: And at midnight she ran off in such a whirl
Gus picked up the shoe.
Gus: Such a whirl
Jaq: Well, her name was Cinderelly, she's the servant girl you met
Gus: She's the one you want to marry don't forget
Both: Don't forget
The two then began to dance.
Jaq: At the ball
Gus: At the ball
Jaq: At the ball
Gus: Down at the ball
Both: Cinderelly was the maiden at the ball
"No, no, no. I danced with Anastasia at the ball." Kit argued.
"No, no. Princey only think that because of Cinderelly's stepmother." Jaq corrected as he took off his heat and made the fur on his head into Lady Tremaine's hairstyle.
"Yeah, mean old lady!" Gus said with a frown, holding up his fists.
Jaq grabbed a needle.
Jaq: With a magic wand she cast a wicked spell
Gus: Wicked spell
Gus then stumbled into a blush box.
Jaq: Which is why Princey isn't feeling well
Gus: Not so well
Gus then made a green hypnotic-look in his eyes, scaring Sora and his team a bit.
Jaq: You've forgotten Cinderelly and the dance you shared last night
Both: But we're sure it's not too late to set things right
Gus: Right, right
Jaq put his hat back on as he and Gus danced again, Gus doing an impressive spin.
Both: Cause at the ball, at the ball, at the ball
Gus: Yeah at the ball
Both: Cinderelly was the maiden at the ball
Kit was taken aback. "Woah, woah, woah, wait. You're telling me I'm under a magic spell?" he asked.
"And here's the worst part!" said Jaq.
Jaq: When Cinderelly tried to fight and take a stand
Gus: Take a stand
Jaq: Mean old lady had her banished from the land
Gus then stopped singing and began to cry.
"Oh no no no oh no no oh!" he sobbed as he pounded the desk.
Jaq grabbed him by his shirt and shook him, trying to snap him out of it. "Gus Gus!" he shouted.
"Duh, sorry." Gus said sheepishly.
Everyone else, bar Kit, shook their heads in exasperation.
Jaq: Cinderelly's on a ship that's gonna sail her far away
Gus then pushed Jaq in a teacup that slid across the table. Kit grabbed it as it slid off.
Gus: So it's up to Princey Prince to save the day
Jaq: Save the day
Both: Cause at the ball, at the ball, at the ball
Gus: What a ball
Jaq: Cinderelly won your heart
Gus: Now magic's keeping you apart
Both: And she'll soon be gone forever
Jaq: Unless you can recall
Both: That Cinderelly was the maiden at the ball!
At the ball!
"Magic?" Kit asked.
Everyone nodded.
"Magic made me think Anastaisa was the girl at the ball?" he asked.
"It's true your highness." said Riku.
"Yeah, you've all been had." said Sora.
"And if that amazing performance Jaq and Gus gave you doesn't convince ya, then what will?" asked Goofy.
"By the way, great show you two." Sora praised.
"Yeah, you were awesome!" Kairi said in agreement.
Jaq and Gus smiled as Mary came up.
"They're right, You were wonderful." Mary said with a smile as she pecked Jaq on the cheek again, making him smile and blush.
Kit stared at his hand. "Well that would explain everything!"
"Yeah!" said Gus as Jaq whistled.
Then, the two bluebirds flew in through the window, carrying something in a lavender cloth.
"What's that?" asked Terra.
"Look." Mary said with a smile.
The cloth fell down… revealing the glass slipper Lady Tremaine broke earlier that day!
Sora and his team gasped.
"The glass slipper!" exclaimed Sora.
"It's all fixed!" Daisy said in shock.
"But how?" asked Donald.
"Before we left, I asked the other mice to fix it up." said Mary. "We then had our bird friends go back to pick it up."
"Just in case you guys needed proof! That's genius Mary!" praised Xion.
"Thank you." Mary smiled.
Kait carefully picked up the repaired glass slipper. "What? The servant girl? This... Cinderelly? This belongs to her?" he asked.
"Yeah! Yeah!" Jaq and Gus said together.
Kit carefully set it down. "I have to find her." he said.
"We'll help!" said Sora.
"You will?" Kit asked.
"Of course. Cinderella's our friend too." said Ven.
"And there might still be Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed out there." said Isa.
"We know how to deal with them well. A-hyuck!" said Goofy.
"Yeah! We're experts!" said Donald.
Kit smiled. "Thank you."
Sora and his team leaped off the table before growing back to normal height.
"How did you do that?" Kit asked, amazed.
"The wand's magic has a weird effect on us." said Mickey.
"We'll explain later." added Oswald.
Kit nodded. "Alright then. Let's go."
One by one, the group of 21 exited the study. Jaq turned to Gus.
"One more time!" he said as he knee-slid.
"Uh yeah!" said Gus as he did the same thing.
(At the Ball - Reprise plays)
Jaq and Gus began to dance as Mary clapped along.
Jaq and Gus: At the ball! At the ball!
Jaq: We showed old Princey after all!
Both: That Cinderelly! Was the maiden! At the ball!
Yeah!
They then did a pose with Jaq holding Gus in the air with one hand… only for the larger mouse to fall and land on him.
Then, Kit entered the room. "Oh... thanks. And loved the song." he said with a smile.
"Go! Go! Go, Princey! Shoo! Shoo! - Go! Go!" the three nice said together.
Just then, Ven appeared from behind Kit and grabbed his shoulder.
"Come on!" he said as he comically dragged Kit away before closing the door.
Jaq and Gus sighe din relief as they sat down back-to-back, Mary smiling at them.
To be continued…
Cinderella's been banished! But now Kit knows the truth thanks to a cool dance number! Hope you all enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you next time!
