Chapter 3 - Destiny Islands: Day Two

The day started out normally enough: Everyone needed to get food for the raft so Ichigo went off to get mushrooms. She had found two and still needed one more but she couldn't find Sora, Kairi, Riku, or her other friend Alsce who was like her sister. But after some searching she found Alsce sitting on a rock fiddling with her keycuffs. "Alsce-chan!"Ichigo cried, running over to her friend who looked up and smiled cheerily at her. "Hey Ichigo-chan!"Alsce said. "Have you seen Sora and Riku?"Ichigo asked. "Their racing over the name of the raft."Alsce replied, sweatdropping slightly at the immaturity of her secret crush and friend. "Let's go watch them!"Ichigo said. "Okay!"Alsce replied, as they ran over to where Sora and Riku were going over the rules and Kairi was waiting to count them down. "If I win, I'm captian! And if you win..."Sora started. "I get to share the paopu with Kairi."Riku finished. "Huh?"Sora asked, caught a little off guard. "Deal? The winner gets to share a paopu with Kairi."Riku said. "The idiots."Ichigo whispered. "Wha...Wait a minute..."Sora stuttured. "Okay, on my count: 3, 2 ,1, GO!"Kairi cried. Afterwards the outcome of the race was Sora won by a quater of an inch so he and Alsce agreed to help Ichigo find the last mushroom they needed. But while they were looking they spotted their friend Wakka. "Hey Wakka-kun!"Ichigo said, smiling cheerfully at him. "What's up?"Alsce asked. "Me and Tidus, we are gonna do a little explorin' today. You know, to the Secret Place at the base of that tree."Wakka said, pointing at the entrance to the cavern that all the kids called "The Secret Place". "There's gotta be something there, ya?"Wakka said. "Maybe..."Ichigo replied as he walked off. "Guys, we should look for the last mushroom in there!"Ichigo said. "What kind of mushroom in it's right mind would decide to grow in that place?!?"Sora cried. "Really tasty ones."Alsce said. "Yeah, so let's go!"Ichigo cried, leading them into the cavern. Once they got in the cavern Sora spotted a doodle on the wall of he and Alsce that the two of them had made shortly after she arrived on the island. Flashback... We see a year younger Sora and Alsce carving doodles on the wall. When they reveal what they drew Sora had drawn Alsce and Alsce had drawn Sora. End flashback... When Sora was sure they weren't looking he sketched a hand from his picture handing a paopu fruit to Alsce's picture. Then suddenly, Ichigo was right above him. "Eventually you'll have to tell her."Ichigo said. "I will, just not today."Sora replied. Then, the two siblings thought they heard something and whipped around. "Wj-Who's there?"Sora said. Then, a mysterious voice spoke up. "I've come to see the door to this world."it said. "Huh?"Ichigo asked, a hint of fear in her voice. "This world has been connected."It continued. "Wh-What are you talking about?"Alsce asked. "Tied to the darkness...soon to be completely eclipsed."It continued. "Well, whoever you are, stop freaking us out like this, huh?"Sora said, suddenly seeing a man clad in black. "Wh-Where did you come from?"Ichigo asked. "You do not yet know what lies beyond the door."The man continued. "So, your from another world!"Alsce said. "There is so very much to learn. You understand so little."The man continued. "Oh, yeah? Well, you'll see. Were gonna get out and learn what's out there!"Ichigo cried. "A meaningless effort. Those who know nothing can understand nothing."The man said. That caused the small group to look at a wooden door in the wall then look back to see the man was gone. So they just found another mushroom and left. Later that day at the peir... "You know, Riku and Ichigo have changed."Alsce said. "What do you mean?"Sora asked. "Well..."Alsce said. "You okay?"Sora asked. "Sora, let's take the raft and go-just the two of us!"Alsce said. "Huh?!?"Sora asked out of sudden shock. "Heheh, just kidding."Alsce giggled out. "What's gotten into you? Your the one that's changed, Alsce."Sora said. "Maybe...You know, I was a little afraid at first, but now I'm ready. No matter where I go or what I see, I know I can always come back here. Right?"Alsce said. "Yeah, of course!"Sora replied. "That's good. Sora, don't ever change."Alsce said. "Huh?"Sora asked as she stood up. "I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great."Alsce said as it fades on her. When we fade back in we see Disney Castle and we see what appears to be an office with an open letter, the one Donald found, on a desktop. This is what it read:
Donald,
Sorry to rush off without sayin' goodbye, but there's big trouble brewin'. Not sure why, but the stars have been blinkin' out, one by one. And that means disater can't be far behind. i hate to leave you all but I've gotta go check into it. There are people with "keys" the keys to our survival. So I need you and Goffy to find them, and stick with them. Got it? We need those keys or we're doomed! So go to Traverse Town and find Leon. He'll point you in the right direction.
P.S.
Would ya apologize to Minnie for me?
Thanks, pal.
"Oh dear! What could this mean?"Daisy cried. "It means we'll just have to trust the king."Minnie said. "Gawrsh, I sure hope he's all right."Goofy said. "Your highness. Don't worry. We'll find the king and these "keys"."Donald said. "Thank you, both of you."Minnie replied. "Daisy, can you take care of-"Donald started. "Of course. You be careful, now, both of you."Daisy finished. "Oh, and to chronicle your travels, he will accompany you."Minnie said, pointing to the desk and Donald at first not seeing anything. Then, he saw something jumping up and down on it. "Over here! Cricket's the name. Jiminy Cricket at your service."Jiminy said. "We hope for your safe return. Please help the king."Minnie said as Donald saluted. Then, he noticed Goofy acting like he wasn't going. "Your coming too!"Donald cried, dragging him with him. Then, we see them walking down a dark flight of staires. "Gawrsh, Jiminy, your world disappeared too?"Goofy said. "It was terrible. We were scattered. And as far as I can see, I'm the only one who made it to this castle."Jiminy explained. "Goofy?"Donald hinted. "Oh, right...I gotcha. While we're in other worlds, we can't let on where we're from. We've gotta protect the world border."Goofy said. "Order"Donald corrected. "Right, World Order. I guess we'll need new duds when we get there."Goofy said as they walked int othe Gummi Ship launch bay and Donald walked over to a microphone type device. "Hello up there? Donald Duck to launch crew! Anytime your ready!"Donald said as the launch crew, Chip and Dale, initiated the launch. Then, when the opening where they were suppoused to launch into opened up Donald cried, "Blast Off!" then a hole opened up under them and they dropped down. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"Donald and Goofy screamed as they were, quite literally, dropped out of the world and they shot off towards Traverse Town.
