"I feel a little bad," Goofy said. "I've been spending more time with you than with my own son."

"You have a son?" Sora asked.

"Yes. His name is Max."

"How old is he?"

"Twenty-two."

Sora laughed. "Twenty-two! Yeah right. You're barely over thirty."

Goofy's next words nearly shattered him. "I'm seventy four years old, Sora."

Sora was too stunned to speak. Seventy four? But seventy four year old men have gray hair and say 'whippersnapper'. "You're lying," he finally said.

"I'm not," Goofy said, sounding a little hurt.

Sora felt like he had been slapped. "And Donald?"

"He's seventy-two. King Mickey's seventy-eight."

"But how?"

"We just age slower than humans."

"But I'll be old and gray. And you'll be as fresh and youthful as ever!"

"Aww, it won't be like that."

"Although…" Sora said as Donald walked in. "Now that you mention it…Donald does act as grouchy as a seventy-two year old."

"WAAAK!" Donald raised his staff and cast a thunder spell on Sora.

Sora coughed out a puff of smoke. "Case in point."

The End.
