A.N: I'll probably do more with Treasure Planet, but I'm starting off sweet and simple.

Sora, Donald and Goofy were cruising between worlds when a massive Heartless attack threw them off-course. They were still spiralling out of control when Chip and Dale managed to get back in contact with them – the shake-up had been that harsh that the connection between the Gummi ship and Disney Castle had momentarily been severed, and their lazers weren't working but luckily the offending Heartless had disappeared just as quickly as they reappeared. (Sora would later figure out that the Heartless had knocked them off the Lane they were travelling in, so the Heartless where still in that Lane, and Lanes and the space around worlds was pretty much walled off, like separate dimensions. This should have been something Sora, as the Keyblade bearer, should have known straight away but, hey, it was Sora.)

"Sora! Sora! Are you all right?" came Chip's voice through the coms. The screen was down and Sora had no idea where they were. One second he was blasting Heartless out of the sky like an old arcade game, and the next he was face-down, cheek pressed against the window, head throbbing and stomach imitating a tumble dryer.

"I'm okay!" Sora cried, clutching his head where the impact had bruised him. "Nothing a potion can't fix. Are you two okay? Donald! Goofy!"

Donald squawked. "Wah! Confounded Heartless!"

"Donald's fine. Goofy?"

"I'm okay, fellas!"

"Phew! That's a relief to hear!" said Dale. "Though your thrusters have been damaged. You won't make it to the next world!"

Sora started. "Wha- What do we do?"

"Hold on a second." Chip said, "I've just picked up a reading...Another world close to your position! And it looks like you can make it!"

Sora pulled himself up so he could look through the globe window and saw, in the distance, a crescent-shaped world with dome-roofed buildings which were, like most of the world from what Sora could see, mostly white and glowing like the moon. "I see it." Sora said with a relieved smile. He moved back into his seat. "I'll take us down."

"Be careful, Sora!" Chip cried.

\/\/\/

Down in the new world, Sora stretched and sighed before gawking with wonder at the mysterious landscape before them. The city was a combination of Victorian craftsmanship and solar technology. Sora had never seen another place like it, which meant a lot given all the places he'd seen. In a way, the twisting brass pipes and the strange contraptions that no building seemed to be without reminded him of the castle in Hollow Bastion – or rather, Radiant Garden – back when Maleficent had control. However, this place was brighter, cleaner, less confusing and certainly busier. Not a moment after landing, Sora was shoved by a large red creature with pointed teeth.

"Watch where you're going!" the thing grunted as he trudged past. Sora scowled and bit back a comment because Donald was impatiently waving him over. Sora went back to his friends for a closer inspection of the Gummi ship.

"Looks completely scerfuffled." Goofy said.

"Yep." Sora agreed.

Donald sighed.

"Hey, are you okay there?"

Sora blinked at the sound of the new voice and turned. A boy, about 15 years old, was leaning against the nearby signpost to a rather rugged-looking inn, and was looking - not at them, because in this world they barely stood out, luckily - but at their clumsily parked ship, battered and broken, in the middle of the street. The boy pushed himself up from his slouching position with his elbow and walked towards them. He had brown hair that was long at the top, shaved at the sides, and came to a skinny, braided rat tail at the back. He wore a black jacket, a beige shirt, and dark pants with boots.

"Looks like you had a rough time." he said, gesturing off-handedly at the Gummi ship. "I can take a look at it for you, if you want?"

"Uh… thanks, but… who are you?"

"Name's Jim. You?"

"I'm Sora, and this is Donald and Goofy."

"All right then." Jim hopped over and bent over the Gummi ship, running his hand over the surface. "Huh. Funny material. What do you call it?"

"Uhhhhh..." Sora glanced at Donald and Goofy.

The whole 'do not meddle in the affairs of other worlds' rule and in turn the 'don't tell said people in said other world that there are, in fact, other worlds, to protect said other worlds, even though some of said people already know about said other worlds' rule were ones they hadn't been good at sticking to, despite Donald's determination at the start of their journey. Mentioning the acts of travel and the all important but ridiculously named Gummi blocks, however, had always been a subject avoided. Heck, Sora didn't know much about it himself. He wasn't sure how much information he was allowed to let 'slip out.'

Fortunately for them, Jim had a short attention span.

"You haven't damaged the main hull of the ship and that's the main thing, but you definitely need a new part for the thrusters." he concluded. "What happened, anyway? Got attacked by pirates?"

"P-pirates?!" Sora cried with excitement.

"Oh, brother," sighed Donald, "Not again."

"Gosh, there seems to be pirates in about every world!"

"So you guys travel a lot, huh?"

Sora blinked, rubbing the back of his neck. For a minute, he'd forgotten Jim was there, too excited by the prospect of pirates. Sure, he'd met some in Neverland, and others in Port Royal, and while neither experience was exactly pleasant, there was no way he'd ever be unexcited by pirates. (He grew up on an island, what do you expect?)

But back to Jim.

"Well, I guess so." Sora mumbled, still unsure about the 'other worlds' rule. "What about you?"

For some reason, the question seemed to startle Jim. But then he hid the look under his hair. "Yeah, I've been around. Anyway, about that part, I'm pretty sure they'll have one here. I mean, it is a spaceport. There's loads of repair shops."

"So, where do we go?"

Jim pushed a hand though his hair. "Er…well, I don't really know this place that well. It's my first time here."

"That's okay." Sora said, "We'll just have to spilt up, right guys? I'll go with Jim."

"Okay!" Donald said, a little grumpily. He gave Jim the stink eye before tugging firmly on Goofy's sleeve, "Come on, Goofy!"

"Catch you later."

The four of them spilt into their duos and went off in the opposite directions. Sora bounced along Jim's side and grinned at the other slightly younger boy. For some reason, Jim had suddenly turned cold. He jammed his hands into his jacket pockets, and walked with his shoulders hunched and eyes downcast. Meanwhile Sora walked with his arms behind his neck and head held high. He looked at Jim and wondered if it was because he asked about his home. Maybe he had family he missed. Sora knew when he first left Destiny Islands, he was worried about those he'd left behind. He decided to test this theory.

"So, er, where are you from, if not here?"

Jim looked at him through the corner of his eye. "Montressor. The mining planet. Ever heard of it?"

"Um, no. Is it nice?"

"It's barren and boring."

"Oh." Sora paused. "What about your friends?"

"...I don't have any."

Sora blinked. No friends? That was horrible! Sora couldn't imagine being without Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy or the hundreds of other people he'd met. Not. One.

"What about family? Mom, dad?"

Jim's shoulder hunched even more at that. "Mom's back home. Dad...left."

Oh. Sora chuckled nervously and went to rub the back of his neck when he noticed Jim was doing the same. The two boys looked at each other, blinked, stopped, and after an awkward silence chuckled. Jim smiled at Sora, un-hunching himself slightly, and Sora counted that as a victory.

\/\/\/

They were walking under a bridge when it happened. Sora and Jim had been getting on well - Jim wasn't hunched at all now and he was talking with him openly. Sora told him about the islands, about Riku and Kairi and how they planned to build a raft to travel to other worlds together (They had boats of their own, but they'd heard many stories growing up about fishermen lost at sea. If they got lost on the raft, at least they were lost together. Sora often wondered what would have happened if they'd ever gotten on that raft.) Meanwhile, Jim told him about the pirates stories he'd grown up on, about wanting to set sail and explore worlds. Sora was about to point out how much they had in common when suddenly...

"Shoot!" hissed Jim, grabbing Sora suddenly by the collar and smacking him against the wall. Sora yelped and opened his mouth to ask just what the hell Jim was playing at when Jim pressed his hand over his mouth, raising an eyebrow to tell him to be quiet.

At the end of the tunnel Sora could make out a figure. It was round and bumbling and could barely stand on it's own feet.

"Excuse me." said the round figure to another figure Sora could not make out, "Have you seen - yes, my apologises for the suit; I'm not normally this pig, uh, big - Anyway, have you seen a young boy around here? Human, about this tall," - he gestured awkwardly - "uh, attitude, ponytail. Seen anyone like that?"

Sora glanced at Jim.

"No I am not fat!" said the man at the end of the tunnel, scandalised "It's the suit. How many times? Anyway, have you seen...Okay! Okay! Goodness, is everyone here a ruffian? I never got this treatment at the university." he sighed, "Oh, Jim, why did you run off?"

Jim pulled his coat over his head and pressed closer to the wall as the man stumbled past. Sora raised a questioning eyebrow but couldn't speak because Jim's hand was still clasped firmly over his mouth.

Jim sighed, his breath hot where it hit Sora's cheek. "Sorry." he whispered, stepping back and walking on.

"What was that all about? Who was that guy? Someone you know?"

Jim shrugged.

Great. Sora thought. Jim was hunching again. No. I have to get through to him. "Jim."

"...hmm."

"Who was that guy?"

"Delbert. Family friend." He pushed his hand through his hair. "I, uh, I'm supposed to be going on this ship on this sort of, uh, character-building thing and...I don't know. I want to go for my mom, but… I don't want to screw up."

"So you ran off?"

"They can't leave without me. ...I've got something they need."

"So you were just going hide and...then what?"

Jim growled. "I don't want to talk about it, Sora!" he shouted and ran.

"Hey, wait!"

Jim kept going. Sora followed.

Jim didn't say a word, no matter how much Sora pressed him. So he just stayed quiet and followed the fifteen year old, having no idea where they were going. Eventually, they arrived on a high cliff that over-looked the space port. It was used as a landing bay for the truly massive ships, the ones that would crush the others if it docked near them, but there was nothing there now, except the two boys and a strange thing Sora had never seen before. It looked like a small boat, like the kind he and Riku used to make when they were younger, but it also looked like a surfboard; a surfboard with an orange sail, and two pedals, and an engine on the back. The whole thing looked like it was welded together recently.

"It's still here." Jim mumbled, more to himself than Sora.

Sora watched him, as Jim brushed over the surface of the strange ship-board. His shoulders were still hunched and his cheeks were red when he suddenly mumbled something Sora couldn't catch.

Sora stared at him. "Huh?"

"It's a solar surfer." Jim repeated, blushing harder. Sora just blinked, but Jim wasn't looking at him to see his dumbfounded expression. "I left my other one at home, so I whipped up a new one."

"Wait. You made this? Woah, that's amazing."

Jim looked at him then and smiled, genuinely, not the sharp-toughed grin he usually gave. "Thanks. It, uh..." he coughed and rubbed the back of his neck, and Sora became aware that he was doing the same thing again, and quickly stopped. "Ahem. It needs testing. Should be safe. I've never made one wrong before." He stepped onto the board and pressed the pedal with his foot. The surfer growled and the engine flared up. The sail began to glow.

"Coooool!" Sora cried.

Jim laughed. "Hop on."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

Sora grinned and jumped on behind Jim. The solar surfer was just big enough for both of them. The moment Sora was on, Jim jammed his foot against the pedal and they were flying off the cliff and over the city.

"You ever do anything like this before?"

"Oh, a few times, I guess." Sora said, remembering the rides on the magic carpet, and that time he and Riku fought a dragon/Nobody/building while riding on a flying motorbike type thing. One day, Sora remembered suddenly, he'd learn how to transform the Keyblade into a glider; this was good practice for then.

"Hu-huh." Jim said with disinterest, "And all those times did you ever do this…" Jim flicked his ankle and pulled in the sail. The surfer jerked upwards. The engine roared and they went shooting up like a rocket.

Sora yelled.

Jim laughed.

The wind whooshed past so hard that Sora though he was going to fall off. But then the surfer slowed down, as the engines stuttered and died. "Uh… Jim?" Jim didn't seem to notice. Sora shook his arm to get his attention. The engines had stopped working! The board was tipping! "JIM!"

Upside-down, they fell. Sora threw his arms around Jim as they plummeted towards the ground. Jim was completely relaxed, arms open, eyes closed, letting the wind run wild through his hair. Sora blinked at him and then, biting his cheeks, he let go and let his arms spread wide. He laughed. Having the wind through his fingers and his spikes in his face and his heart beating so loud he couldn't hear anything was unlike anything he'd ever experienced before. Then there was a jerk. The sail flipped back in position and Sora's body was flung into Jim's as the board jerked a second time, barely a metre from the ground, and hoisted them back up into the air, straight again, blasting through an alleyway at top speed. Sora found himself holding Jim again, and pulled back as they rocketed past a stall selling chocolate slushies. Jim managed to reach and grab one as they went past, but he didn't steer the board in time to avoid hitting a wagon of cabbages. If Sora hadn't leaned forwards and adjusted the sail to steer them away just in time, they would have crashed.

"Nice work, Sora." Jim said, passing back the icy chocolate drink after taking a mouthful.

Sora managed to have a sip before a passing lamppost knocked the beverage out of his hand and onto an unsuspecting family of squid people. He laughed nervously. "Oops."

Then they were soaring over bronze rooftops, chimney coughing smoke, and churning wheels. The sounds of the city where just mumbles, muffled by the speed of the surfer, the screaming of the air in their ears. They lifted higher and higher until they were back where they started, on the high precipice, by the hardware store.

"That was so coool!" Sora cried, leaping up. His legs felt like jelly but he was running on adrenaline.

Jim laughed shyly. He pushed his hair out of his face. "I...uh, sorry...you know about before...storming off an' stuff...And, I, uh...I lied when I said I've travelled around a load...it's just when I heard you'd travelled around, I didn't want you to think I was a loser or something. I dunno. It's stupid."

"I don't think it's stupid. So...about Delbert."

Jim sighed. He wandered a little way from the surfer and slumped down onto the ground, pushing his face into his palms.

Sora frowned. "Hey. Whatever it is, you know talking about it always helps." He sat down next to him.

"This...trip I'm going on..." he hestiated.

"What about it?" Sora prompted.

"It's my last chance to prove I'm worth something."

"Of course you're worth something!"

Jim clenched his hands around his hair. "You don't get. I've just screwed up so many times, Sora. This is my only chance to make all that right and...I don't know what the hell I'm going to do."

Sora put his hand gently on Jim's arm. "We all make mistakes."

"Even you, Mr Perfect?"

Sora laughed. "Even me!" then he pressed his lips together, "Once, I hurt someone who didn't deserve it, only I thought he deserved it at the time. It took me a long time to figure out he didn't and now I feel really bad for what I did. But I'm going to make it up to him someday. I know he knows that too. Sure, what I did matters, but as long as I can make it up to him...Welllll..." he winked, "Let's just say I have a better understanding of myself."

Jim chuckled. "You're a weird guy, Sora."

"Hey!"

Jim laughed.

Sora sprang to his feet, putting his hands on his hips. "So. You going on that trip?"

"Yeah, but first..." He stopped. Then he slapped his hand to his forehead. "The thrusters! I completely forgot! Come on, we need to hurry."

\/\/\/

When they got back to the crash site, the others were less than happy.

"Where have you two been?!" demanded Donald, jumping up and down.

"Keep your feathers on." Jim muttered.

Sora smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, guys, we got a little sidetracked."

"Gosh, that's okay." Goofy said, "This nice 'ere fella showed us where to get the part we needed."

Goofy gestured to the person who was so round he was struggling to stand up to greet them. There was a helmet covering his face and suddenly, just as Jim began to inch away, Sora recognised him. The man - or rather, dog - lifted his face plate. "Jim!" he cried with outrage.

Jim winced, brushing his hand through his hair. "Er, heya...Delbert..."

"You two know each other?" Donald said.

Sora chewed his lip.

Delbert stumbled towards Jim. Jim held his ground. "I have been looking all over for you! What were you thinking running off like that? Do you have any idea what I've been thro..."

"m'sorry."

Delbert blinked. "Beg your pardon?"

Jim sighed quietly. "I'm sorry. I just freaked out."

Delbert blinked again. "Oh. I see. Well...You know, Jim, it's all right to be afraid. In fact, some of the greatest men I have ever worked with were spineless, whimpering...uh, men. But, you see Jim, only the purely, truly courageous people can -" there was a loud bang and Delbert jumped. "What was that?"

Jim had fixed the Gummi ship and slammed shut the hood.

"Why do you always interrupt my inspiring speeches?" Delbert mumbled.

Jim looked at Sora. "You're ready to go."

Sora's smile disappeared. "Hey, Jim, I…"

"SORA!" Donald squawked impatiently from the Gummi ship. "Hurry up will ya!"

"We best be going as well, James." said Delbert, placing a hand on Jim's shoulder. "We have to find the ship, remember? We have our own space adventure waiting for us!"

"Right." Jim said.

Sora looked at his feet. "Well, I guess this is goodbye, huh?"

Jim pulled Sora into a hug. Sora went rigid, then relaxed, squeezing him back.

Delbert's mouth fell open.

Jim pulled back, hiding his flush under his hair. "Right. See you...somewhere...I guess."

Sora waved to Jim as the Gummi ship lifted into the air. Jim grinned and waved back until Sora and the ship had disappeared into the sky. Ten minutes later, Jim and Delbert were stood in front of their ship RLS Legacy. Delbert glanced over at Jim.

"Are you ready, Jim?"

Jim Hawkins took a deep breath. "Yeah. I am."
