Floor 5 Exit/Floor 6 Enter................................................(5-6)

After the group enters the Fifth Floor Exit Hall. Darcey tried to remember her mystery friend, but only bits and pieces came to her head. Faith noticed the look on her face and nudge Donald, he looked at both of the girls. Then Donald looked at Darcey and asked "Darce, is there anything else you remember about that other boy?". Darcey stopped to think for a moment, Twitchy was munching on a dog biscuit provided by Goofy, waiting for Darcey to answer. She then answered "Hmmm...just small bits and pieces of him.". Goofy thought of an idea to help Darcey jog her memories of the mystery boy, and said "Maybe you could try tellin' us some more stuff about him. Who knows? It might even help ya remember other things.". Jiminy agreed with Goofy, and said "Goofy's right Darce, try and think of him. Maybe that help you remember who he was." Darcey took a deep breath and decided to give it a go, Darcey says "Well, uhh...umm. He was.........(As Darcey talks, her memories play inside her head) He was quiet...and always drawing, he always wanted to be an artist or an illustrator. He was the best artist in school, especially in art classes and clubs. When we'd go to the beach, he'd draw a picture instead of swimming or climbing. Sometimes he'd draw us, too! He was really good. (Chuckling). Always capturing the perfect moments to draw his pictures. He was mostly bullied by the bullies back home especially Marvin - Chad's twin brother. He was worse like Meredith, she's the one who vandalised his paintings. One time Amanda, Anya, Eddie, Calvin and I defended him from the bullies. Marvin got suspended from school and Meredith got detention for the whole year. That's when he decided to be friends with us, he felt safer with us. But mostly with me and Amanda. I remember that time, when Amanda and I fighting over and competing against each other, who he'd draw next. But one day, he was gone, just like that, as if he never existed. I think the grown-ups, Anakin and my parents knew the reasons. They might even have tried to explain some of it to me. But I was so small. I probably didn't understand what was happening. I remember crying after he was gone. Amanda would cheer me up and brought me out of my sadness. (Darcey's memories end) But...that's all. I still don't remember his name and it pains my heart." She finished, as she placed her hand on her heart.

Faith, Donald, Jiminy, Twitchy and Goofy saw a mixture of happiness and sadness in their friend. Donald cheered her up and said "Oh, I bet you'll remember it in no time! You're starting to remember him slowly. So you're making progress." Darcey smiles and nods. Faith smiled at her, showing her teeth. Jiminy pops out and sighs, then said "I must point out. Darcey keeps remembering things instead of forgetting them. It seems to me forgetting things may be the only way---to reach the memories buried deeper down inside each of us." Goofy wandered for a thought and asked "So we should forget in order to remember?". Darcey recalled what the black hooded guys meant "Like those guys said... "Our most precious memories lie so deep in our hearts, that they're out of reach." All that stuff about finding being losing and losing being finding... I didn't get it at first, but maybe this is what they meant.". Goofy asked her a question "Gawrsh, Darce, I think I'm a little jealous of ya. How come me and Donald and Jiminy aren't rememberin' more of the stuff from our memories?". Darcey herself was curious herself, wondering why she remembers, but her friends don't. Twitchy and Faith were curious too, how they still have their memories of Darcey. But nothing else either, like where they were before they met her and bonded with her, becoming friends with her, Donald, Goofy and Jiminy. That really confused her, but Donald answered for her and said "Come on, Goofy! Let's get going. We've got to forget things faster." Goofy nods in understatement, if Darcey can remember that means he, Donald, Faith, Twitchy and Jiminy will gain their memories too. Darcey and the gang leaves theExit Hall off to the Sixth Floor.

Back with Axel and Larxene in the room with in the crystal ball room in the castle. They were updating each other on their progress on Darcey and her friends, along with new schemes to control Darcey. Larxene spoke first "Just as we intended.". Axel said "We'll continue with our plan. Let's see how far this little heroic group will go.". Larxene reminded him "You had your fun on the first floor. So this time, it's my turn. I want to see how strong is she with the Force." Axel tosses her a card. She kisses it and giggles. She then walks over to Axel and touches his face playfully. Larxene teased "Relax, I'm not going to just give it to her.". Axel warned "Don't break her. She's more valuable alive than damaged.". Larxene mocking him "Well... Do I detect a soft spot? I'm not going to break the little shrimp. I'm not dumb." Axel reminded her the second time "Don't forget. Darcey is the key. We need her if we're going to take over the Organization and prove ourselves to have a seat at the First Order. Perhaps Kylo Ren will gain control her to be his new padawn, so he can teach her the dark side of Force. Just as her brother taught her the light side of the Force." Larxene touches his lip, to take a pause in their plans. Larxene pointed out "I know that you're in on it, too... But keep it under your hood at least until the time is right. If Kylo Ren trained her in the dark side of the Force, she'll be nothing but a pawn for the First Order."She waves goodbye and vanishes. Axel smiles in amusement. Axel said to himself "You would have been wise to have done the same, Larxene. Don't underestimate Darcey, she's tougher than you think.". Leaving Axel alone in the room, admiring Darcey's reputation.

Darcey, Faith, Twitchy, Jiminy, Donald, and Goofy enter the Sixth Floor. They continued walking to the end of the hall, til they stopped and tried to remember the mystery boy's name. Twitchy bark a few times, til Goofy asks Darcey if she's making any progress "So, Darce, did anything back there help ya remember your friend's name?". Darcey tried to remember, but she couldn't remember his name and replied "Uhhh... His name's the only thing I can't seem to remember. So how can I remember what he was like and what he enjoys doing, but not his name?" Her head was down in sadness, feeling a bit guilty not remembering his name. Donald encouraged her "You gotta try! Hurry up and remember it in no time!". Faith roared with support. Darcey smiles weakly "Hmm Hmm....". Darcey holds up her last card at the Sixth Floor world entrance, and enters to the next world, they were in Wonderland.

Wonderland - They were so small, the flowers thought they asked what kind of flowers they were. But Darcey explained to them, that they're not flowers but humans and animals. The flowers laughed at them, they thought they were crazy. Jiminy didn't like the way they were mocking his friends, so he was about to teach them a lesson. Goofy and Donald stopped him, telling him that they should go. Faith puffed out a small flame from her mouth, silencing the flowers but also scaring them. Therefore apologising to them, and begged not to let Faith burn them. So they left, they met the Caterpillar who blew smoke at them. They coughed from the smoke, even poor Twitchy sneezed from the smoke. The caterpillar told them that there's a trial going on, til he smokes more from his hookah and became a butterfly, telling them how to get back to their size and yelled at them "THE MUSHROOM! OF COURSE!". And flew away from them. Once they got back to their normal sizes, thanks to the mushroom. They followed the bread and butter butterflies and the white rabbit to the Queen of Hearts Palace. Alice is on trial, for an accusation of the theft of the Queen's memory. Unable to prove her innocence, Darcey intervenes and claims she is the thief, which causes the Queen to have her cards attack. Faith roared at them and fired plasma blasts knocking the cards away. After fighting and escaping, Darcey, Faith, Twitchy, Jiminy, Goofy, Donald and Alice talks to the Cheshire Cat about the Queen of Hearts and her memory loss. The Cheshire Cat also comments that "If you try too hard to remember something, your memory could lie to you." They are later found by the Queen, the King and the White Rabbit, who attempts to indict them, but she suddenly forgets what she was doing. The Trickmaster shows up and is revealed to be the one responsible for stealing her memory. After it is defeated, Alice tells the Queen that she ordered for Darcey, Faith, Twitchy, Jiminy, Donald, Goofy and Alice to destroy it. The Queen, being too proud, commends them on a job well done. Darcey and her friends entered the small door in the room, leading them back to Castle Oblivion.
