I've seen a few of these "alphabet challenge" stories floating around here on , WishingDreamer5's being the one that inspired me, of course. XD So, I'm taking my own crack at the challenge, my focus being a relationship that I feel that, for all its prevalence in the KH games themselves, is largely ignored in the fandom, that being the friendship of Sora, Donald, and Goofy. I really think it needs more attention because I personally think their friendship is adorable. :) Anyway, I've never seen any set rules for this kind of challenge, so I won't be adhering to a word count, though these chapters definitely won't be very long.

Sorry for the lengthy A.N. Reviews aren't required but they are certainly appreciated; thanks for visit and I hope you enjoy!

A is for Adequate, which was what Donald and Goofy thought of Sora, and vice versa, upon their first meeting.

Donald and Goofy needed a kid with a Keyblade to save their king, and golly gee, just their luck, here was one standing right in front of them (or crushed underneath them, as the case may be). Sora needed a lift around the universe to locate his lost friends, and who else was willing to tow around a hyperactive prepubescent boy that uses a giant key as a weapon but these two?

It worked out. Both parties were planning on this being a very short-term commitment—head out, find the friends, save the King, dump the kid and his buddies back at Traverse Town (that being more Donald's plan than anyone else's), and hopefully everyone would eventually find their way home one way or another. At the beginning, neither the animals nor the boy really saw much in their new companions other than their practical uses.

But then again, neither Sora, Donald, nor Goofy were often correct about much of anything, and as one and two became three, a mighty trinity, their relationship was not adequate, but absolute.
