Found an Ocean! {Closed}

"AWRIGHT! Found an ocean!"

Pumping one fist high into the air, a girl by the age of 17 practically somersaulted into the clear bright blue body of water that surrounded the Destiny Islands. The girl seemed oblivious to the fact that she was still completely garbed in her usual eccentric attire, minus her hat that had fallen off onto the beach during her somersault. However, had one known of how long it had taken her to find an ocean, they would have found her behavior to be more then acceptable. After a brief but amusing chase scene in the streets of Agrabah with a certain man of copper hair, the girl had wandered in the desert for a day or two. Why you ask? Simple logic. If a place has a ton of sand, there must be a ton of ocean! Clearly that notion failed in the arid environment of Agrabah. It was simply pure luck that the next world she visited had an ocean, and a huge one at that. But why find an ocean in the first place?

"Oiii! My clothes are all soggy! Toto, why didn't you tell me my clothes would get soaked?" the girl, Dorothy, whined loudly in the direction of the beach, flailing her arms and pouting cutely as she waded back toward the sand. Situated on a blue and white fold-out beach chair was what appeared to be a small dog with a fluffy and rather poofy tail. However, the odd thing about it was that it was currently wearing a pair of dark black shades that hid its dark blue eyes completely. The tiny dog, known to the world as Toto was currently curled up lazily, watching over his mistress protectively as she came closer, completely drenched in ocean water.

"I need seaworthy clothes, don't I?" Dorothy questioned the dog as she sat down on the end of the beach chair, pouting down at her wet clothes. Suddenly, the chipper brown haired girl sprang to her feet, her amber eyes shining happily. "OOOH! I know just what I wanna get! I'll be right back Toto! Guard our stuff, okay?" Dorothy called out over her shoulder as she dashed off back to where she believed she saw some stores. Toto watched her go and merely shook his head.

Hopping off the chair, Toto slowly wandered over to the ocean, wondering what exactly about it had caused his mistress to want to travel aimlessly searching for just that. Just as the dog leaned over to stare into the water, a wave splashed down on him and dragged him out to see and, curse the fates, the poor doggie couldn't swim! Barking loudly as he flailed about in the water, it seemed unlikely that he would last another minute out in the water before drowning. Wouldn't anyone save him?

(It be lame but you all know I'm bad at starting threads =_=)

[Paopu-Chan!]

(There's no order that we're all posting in, right? xD)

Now, unlike the girl who was frolicking on the beach, this boy had much better things to do than run around screaming about how amazing the water was. Unlike the girl who was expending energy as she swam, the boy was conserving it.

Well... until he fell out of bed.

"Ow! AH! OOOFFF. Ehhhh..." In a tangle of sheets and blankets, Kaishou Sanders lay on the hard floor of the room he had rented in Destiny Islands. His hair was a mess and his bandage was askew, but at the very least he was awake. That had to count for something.

"Oh. Ow. Good morning world. It's nice to see you too," The boy moaned, raising a hand to shelter his eye from the bright sunlight that streamed through his window. He could hear the distant caw of seagulls and the crash of waves on the beach. That woke him up a little more.

For you see, Kai had been on Destiny Islands a few days already. It was the first world that he wanted to travel too, once he had left Hollow Bastion. He wanted to see the world that Sora had come from--the boy that everyone on his world talked about. Hey! Maybe I'll get to meet him! That would be awesome. he had thought to himself. But once he had arrived on the world, Kai had done a grand total of nothing. He had quickly fit in with the lifestyle here. He had gone swimming, exploring, fishing... you name it; he'd have probably done it. I mean, there hadn't been any heartless here. So he didn't need to fight or train!

Maybe he should move here. He could really get used to it.

But in order to begin his day, the boy had to get ready. Raising his head, Kai used his arms and elbows to haul himself over to his bag that lay in the corner. Once there, he picked out a pair of baggy jeans and a plain blue t-shirt and began to get changed.

Wait... why was there a sock on his hand? Wrong body part. REPLAY!

Now he was dressed--and finally getting to his feet, Kai was much more alert then before. He stretched and looked out the window. There was clear skies again!

"Another lazy day. WOO!" The boy cheered, grabbing another, smaller bag off the table and rushing outside.

He had bought a bun to eat for breakfast as Kai walked down the street. Thought what he found odd was as he made his way to the beach (He had decided that he was going to go hunting for crabs today) he saw an oddly dressed girl, dripping wet, walking up to the shops. Now it wasn't unusual to see people wet and sandy (it was a beach, after all...) But in full clothing? Weird... But Kai said nothing as she passed; instead he began to hum happily. Until he got to the beach, of course.

What was it that he saw when he arrived? No, it wasn't a giant marshmallow. (But that would be nice...) It was a dog. A dog that was... drowning? Weren't dogs supposed to swim out of reflex?

"Come on, boy!" It was a boy, right? Oh no! What if it was a girl? He just insulted it! "Use your legs! Dog paddle!" But the dog didn't seem to understand. Well it is a dog after all... they don't talk... and Kai quickly looked around to see if anyone was around. No one. So he had to play rescue? Damn. He needed a cape.

"Okay! Just hold on, puppy! I'M COMING!" and then he ran, shoes and all, into the ocean. He dived in and swam towards the dog, holding his arms out for it to come too him.

(Don't ask me how that got so long. D:)

[High's .Valentine.]

A shadow followed along behind said dripping wet girl, slinking along the walls and hiding behind crates. Those emerald eyes had spotted the child a few seconds ago, watching her intently as she ran past the café window. So, like him, she did find an ocean, he chuckled, bemused by the coincidence. Approaching her quickly, he reached out…and stealthily, he grabbed her by wrapping two hands over her eyes. The man pulled her into the alleyway between two sea side stores before she could utter a cry of surprise and alert the whole sea side town. The whole event happened in less than a few seconds. Sinister indeed. From a distance, a young child watched, horrified by the sight. It looked like a kidnapping!

“Tag, you’re it,” Cooper Nathans giggled, whispering into the young girl’s ear. “And why are you soggy?” Releasing the girl, Cooper twirled her around so she was facing all 6ft2 of his skinny figure. His clothes were damp due to pressing the girl against him, and the man brushed at the green over coat, as if it would help remove the residue from the light cloth. Ah yes, at least he had nabbed the right girl thankfully. Who knows what he was going to do if he had so violently grabbed a wrong person. End up in Destiny Island’s local jail probably. That funny outfit of hers stuck out anywhere like his wild copper hair does. Where was her little doggy sidekick though? And it seemed she had been sabotaged by Destiny Island’s ocean.

“Remember me?” Cooper gave her his notorious grin, an overconfident and rather arrogant leer.

“It seems like you finally found yourself an ocean.” The last time he saw her, he had stared, with wide eyes, as she walked off into the distance chortling about finding an ocean in Agrabah. Cooper did not follow after her, but he was oh so sure that he probably was never going to see her again. Chances are, she would have died in the desert, searching for that giant body of water that did not exist in the large expense of sand as the belittling sun of Agrabah wither up her youth and energy. It was such a pity too for she had a pretty face, not to mention that little peck on the cheek was pretty cute. The girl was far too young for Cooper’s taste—he may be a complete panderer, but the twenty four year old was no pedophile. But she was sweet, and in a few years the man wouldn’t doubt that she would be sweet and beautiful. It was too bad Cooper has spent the next hour fending off persistent patrol guards otherwise he would have gone after her and directed her towards a safer direction.

“Jumped in a bit too quickly?” Cooper plucked at her dripping sleeves, raising a curious eyebrow. He had wondered why the girl was looking for an ocean. She seemed a bit on the bizarre side, with a dog that can shoot lightning out of its mouth.

(LONG overdue for a reply. Sorry guys Dx)

A drowning dog is never a happy dog.

Flailing his short limbs about, the electric flinging dog known as Toto tried feebly to swim himself toward the shore, but he had never even SEEN an ocean, and he had never really tried to encounter any situations where he needed to swim in the past. Even when he was the pet of the Wizard of Ox, he had never been brought out around water. Apparently water conducted electricity and could therefore hurt him a bit.

But back to the matter of drowning.

His barks for help seemed to have no effect as no one came dashing off to save him. Slowly and surely, his feeble attempts grew feebler and he began to sink beneath the waves.

But wait! What was this? Help had arrived in the form of a boy on the shore calling out for him to swim. Toto renewed his barking efforts in the hopes of a rescue, but he couldn't help from thinking 'Idiot. What do you think I've been trying to do?' when the human told him to dog paddle.

Luckily for him, the human realized that he wasn't going to miraculously learn how to swim, despite dogs naturally learning to swim in dire situations, and swam out to rescue him. When the human grew close, Toto managed to flop himself into the human's arms and allowed the human to swim them both back to shore.

As soon as they hit dry land, the dog shook himself vigorously to remove the water from his fur, through it really only succeeded in puffing up all of his fur. Growling at his puffed up hair, the dog poked his head inside one of his master's bags until he found another pair of dark black sunglasses, managing to get them onto his face.

The dog then grabbed his Mistress's bags with his teeth and dragged them over to Kai. The dog then nodded at the bags then at Kai, as though he wanted the human to carry the two bags. Barking loudly once again, Toto leapt at Kai and gently bit his leg before running off a few steps and turning around, nodding his head in the direction he was going, as if to say 'follow me'. Hoping the boy got the message, Toto ran off toward the town, following the scent of his Mistress.

Skip. Skip. Skip.

The bubbly teenager was quite enjoying herself as she skipped through the town at a rather reckless speed for a normal human, gracefully skipping around different townsfolk in her search for proper swimming attire. Completely unaware of her stalker, Dorothy focused completely on finding herself exactly what she wanted, when suddenly she found it! About six or eight skips ahead of her was the perfect swimming attire for her! Giggling with glee, the girl prepared for another high jumping and quick skip when suddenly two hands covered her eyes. With a quiet yelp of surprise, Dorothy found herself behind dragged backwards quickly.

Even as the familiar voice whispered in her ear, Dorothy was all a panic. What was going on? Was she in danger? Should she fight back? She really wished she had brought Toto along to help! Without thinking, the girl let out a loud "EEEEEK!", kicking powerfully at her apparent kidnapper's shin in an attempt to get herself free of the offender's grip.

However, she soon found herself turned around and facing a familiar person from her last adventure in the land of sandy lies known as Agrabah. As the man grinned and asked her if she remembered him, she squealed cutely and pounced on him, giving him a big hug. "COOPER!" Dorothy called out happily, squeezing the living daylights out of the copper haired man as she clung to him.

At the man's next two comments, Dorothy hopped backwards and grinned sheepishly, like when a child is found with their hand in the cookie jar. "Yeaah. I was just so excited to find one, I had to jump in! It was really important that I found one, and now I did! I have to remember this world now. Oh! And I wanted to swim but not in these clothes so I went off to-" Dorothy started before she remembered what she was doing before the man had nabbed her.

"OOOH!" she cried before she turned and started dashing off. "Wait here Cooper! Just wait!" Dorothy called over her shoulder as she dashed off and down the road.

Within a few minutes, the girl had returned to the alleyway where Cooper had hopefully waited for her. Instead of the soggy clothes she was wearing before, which were now stowed in a white shopping bag carried over her shoulder, she was now wearing a bright blue bikini. However, that wasn't all she had bought. Around her waist was a bright yellow rubber ducky floaty, complete with a rubber duck head and usually reserved for little children who can't swim, and around her arms were two bright yellow arm floaties, also reserved for little children.

The cheerful girl pumped one fist in the air, grinning like a madwoman. "How do I look? Awesome right?" Dorothy cackled, hopping up and down cheerfully.

The cheer didn't last long however, for the exact moment that Dorothy had decided to return to Cooper, a certain fluff ball of a dog sunk its fangs into her arm. "OWWWWWW!" Dorothy howled in pain as she shook her arm viciously to dislodge her wayward pet. "TOTO! GET OFF OR I'M GONNA BITE YOU!" Dorothy growled angrily before she proceeded to do just what she threatened, biting the dog on its side.

The two snarled at each other for a few seconds before both let go of each other, Dorothy laughing and Toto barking happily. Quite the strange duo. At the moment, Dorothy took little notice of Kai, who was likely to be following Toto, and Toto took little notice of Cooper, who he would have likely regarded as a threat to his mistress's safety, as he did all humans of the male persuasion, unless of course they saved him like Kai did.

However, the master and summon soon noticed who their friend had been hanging around with in each other's absence. While Toto was grateful for the apple Cooper had given him in Agrabah, that didn't change the fact that he was a male, and male's of the human species always had ill intent. Thus, Toto leapt between Cooper and his master and growled softly, glaring up at the copper haired man.

Meanwhile, Dorothy was absolutely delighted to see that Toto had made a friend. Grinning from ear to ear, Dorothy sprang forward and tackled Kai, sitting on top of him as she poked him on the cheek. "Hello! Who are you? Are you buddies with my doggie? Awww! How cute of you!" Dorothy grinned cheerily, continuing to poke the boy as she waited for an answer.
