I Want to be a Hero {KH Romance}

Land of The Dragons*

"Rea." 

There's an arm trying to shake me awake. It's gentle, but I still groan, letting my eyes flutter open. I was expecting to see Mikoto trying to wake me up to go to the beach. It didn't take long to realize that it wasn't her, and the events of yesterday go flooding back through my mind.

Instead, a tall dog stood before me, a smile on his face. "We're at the Land of The Dragons. why don't you get up and get ready?" Goofy had a kind and soft voice. It was comforting. He retreats out the bedroom door and I take in my surroundings.

I feel my eyes soften as I see Sora sleeping peacefully on the couch right beside where I was just laying. How that boy still managed to smile all the time considering everything he's been through is beyond me, but... I'd give anything for that kind of courage. He's definitely a very admirable boy.

"Mmm," He mumbles in his sleep, stretching to fill the space on the couch I once occupied.

"Cute too," I whisper before heading towards the bathroom. I find a familiar tune escaping my lips as I use a comb on the sink to detangle my bedhead.

"Who gave you the right to be humming so early in the morning?" Sora's voice calls from the doorway to the bathroom. I mutter a 'sorry' and he sighs. in response, "You're loud."

"I said sorry!" I give him a small frown and he shakes his head, retrieving his toothbrush from the cabinet.

"Whatever. Donald wants to see you in the cockpit, he's got a temper shorter than you, so I'd head out there soon." I give Sora a warning glance as he finishes his sentence.

"Call me short again, and I'll use my shortness to cut off your toes." I point a finger at him, earning a laugh as I walk away.

"Ferocious! Like a little palm top tiger!"

"WEEB!" I shout back, hurrying away to the cockpit before I could receive any more sass. "I heard you wanted to see me?" Donald turns around in his chair as I speak, and gives a serious nod.

"We're officially on a whole other planet. Things could be drastically different here, to the point where I might even need to use magic to help us blend in," This causes my eyes to widen. Magic-- to blend IN? Wouldn't magic make us... you know, stand out? "You should avoid discussing our true purpose in the worlds as much as possible. It's alright to ask about your sister, but try to avoid saying much about the keyblade or the heartless, if avoidable."

"Because we don't want to muddle!" Goofy adds, approaching the two of us.

"Meddle!" Donald corrects with a sigh. "Do you feel up to the task?"

"So, to clarify--" I chew the inside of my  lip for a second, trying to recall everything he just said. "I can ask about Mikoto, but I can't talk about how or why she was taken?"

"As long as you don't mention anything about Maleficent or the key blades, or even what we're doing. Just ask if they've seen her, and that's fine."

"Alright, easy enough." I give a small curt nod. Sora appears from the hallway, stretching his arms with a dazed smile.

"You guys ready?" He asks.

"We've been waiting on you," Donald grumbles, getting up from his chair. We all make our way to the door of the ship and my nerves begin to get the best of me. What kind of world awaited me outside these doors?

Natural beauty, that was the answer. A spring time scene, cherry blossoms floating on the breeze and littering the green grass with pink petals. Areas where bamboo naturally sprouted from the earth, and off in the distance, what looked to be a camp ground.
