Instinct really was a powerful thing, when the light of consciousness is flickering, instinct kicks in to pave the way. For one such Hero, maybe he was better off with just instinct or so his friends might tease. Enter Sora; in Never Land? Yes, somehow, someway...he'd proceed to make it to yet another world. Briskly walking through the forest, the young adventurer was lost, alone, and stricken with Amnesia but that wasn't anything new, for now.

The island of Neverland was a huge place filled with so many unpredictable surprises that only Wonderland served as a true rival to it in that regard, at least among the known worlds opened by the Keyblade. It was because of this that traveling the land without experience of its specific nature was a dangerous thing. Keeping that idea to heart, a small King hailing from a far away world was making his way through a dense forest among the higher branches below the canopy. His small form easily prevented the branches from giving in under his weight and the mouse's agility prevented any trouble being given by transit requiring many precise leaps and hops. For the Mickey the important thing was to keep moving. he knew that somewhere on this world was the secret home of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. Surely they could help him get some bearings on why he was here... and when.
An uncharacteristic frown plagued the King's face. He was having trouble getting over the irritation he'd experienced from some nasty mermaids about an hour ago. usually he was able to shake off his temper pretty well after the fact, but for some reason he was just really bothered. It was the unfortunate overall situation, he supposed.
Suddenly Mickey spotted a figure walking the path below. Unable to see clearly he hopped into some leafy covered and tried to remain quiet until he could make out a friend or a foe. Not that it was always easy to tell.

Silence.
Sora had stopped dead in his tracks upon hearing the ruffling of leaves. Had it been caused by his own footsteps or that of a very small animal perhaps he wouldn't have been on such high alert. His blue occuli shifted left, then right before he proceeded to grasp a rock from the terrain below. His expression was neutral at the moment, though he'd proceed to walk further along his path. His goal; to attempt to lure whomever was stalking him out of hiding.

Mickey had traded visibility for stealth in the fact that it was difficult to see clearly through the tree leaves ion to the ground below. The King actually felt a strange rush of unfamiliarity. Why was he hiding up here instead of walking forward on the path out in the open to greet the stranger? Was he really so rattled up from before? Mickey shook his head clear and blinked a few times at the sight below. A boy, fairly tall... wait! Even at this distance anyone could recognize that spiky brown hair and that one-of-a-kind outfit! A smile appeared on His Majesty's face at the realization of meeting a friend. Everything was better that way than being alone.
With a fresh smile the mouse fell out of the leaves onto a lower branch now, closer to the path below. He stood there and waved to the boy below.
"Sora!" he called in his high-pitched voice, forgetting past troubles at last.

"Sora?" the inner monolouge of the amnesia struck Hero began with the mention of an unfamiliar name. No doubt it would surprise the king when the boy looked ahead, finally seeing whomever his stalker was. He'd take a good look, his eyebrows furrowing at first before turning to a look of surprise. "A talking mouse...?" He couldn't help but do a double take and even then, he suddenly turned to look out infront of him. The path seemed to be relatively clear, therefore the strange creature couldn't have been waving at someone else, right? For the Hero of the keyblade, he couldn't take chances...thus he proceeded to glance around some more before ultimately approaching...with caution. The rock that he'd picked up earlier was tightly clenched within the ball of his right hand.
Once he was within a safe distance, one which allowed him to either attack or defend but still speak to the stranger, he'd innitiate conversation. "Sorry to bother you but...who were you calling out to?"

Well now... of all possibilities, Mickey certainly didn't expect that reaction. Granted Sora attacking him was even lower on the list, but no signs of recognition was till pretty far down there. Mickey's face blinked in surprise, his mouth slowly moving open for a moment.
"Why, you of course!" the King replied with his happier expression returning but still shaken. "I don't know any other Soras."
'What's he talking about?' Mickey wondered noting the clench in the boy's hand with his trained magician and warrior eyes.

"Other Sora's...so he thinks I'm 'Sora'? Sora just paused, his eyes blinking once, then twice, then thrice. His arms would cross and he'd look thoughtful for a moment before shaking his head. "I'm sorry little guy, I think you've got the wrong person." He then proceeded to uncross his arms, his left hand moving to rub the back of his head. "Anyway, I probably should be on my way but before I go, I'm---" His right hand had extended outwards towards the smaller of the two men, his fist releasing the rock in question. For awhile, he stood still...his figure seemingly frozen in place, eyes not blinking.
"Roxas...?"
He'd then moved his right hand away for a moment, he kept repeating the name over and over to himself. He was muttering for awhile but at the moment, something in his mind had said 'Roxas' and the image was so fast he couldn't exactly grasp whom or what said it. "Sorry, I must have lost my train of thought. I'm Roxas...and you are?"

Mickey titled his head to the side as Sora, or Sora's identical twin, explained that he was not whom the mouse had taken him for. At least not as far as the boy knew.
'Not Sora? but that's impossible. I mean... I guess he does look a little taller than I last saw him,' the King thought in contemplation. 'But there's no way anyone could mistake those clothes.'
"Roxas!?" Mickey exclaimed in surprise, gloved hands moving behind him as he leaned forward off the branch. The little ruler's eyes were fully on Sora now, taking him in fully. No blond hair, as if he'd have made that mistake anyway. There was no way this was Sora's Nobody... was there?

Surprise...
Roxas couldn't help but jump back in surprise after hearing 'his' name mentioned. Judging by the reaction of the stranger by hearing his name and the way his eyes seemed to examine him, it would seem our hero finally found someone that knew him. The question on his mind now was...friend or foe?
"Erm...if I did anything wrong to you in the past...I-I'm sorry." He was frantically waving his hands about, trying to ease the situation in case he would be attacked by the mouse. It's not like he had much ways to defend himself and he did drop the rock he'd pick up. Carefully, his irises scanned the scene around him, looking for a possible escape path or some sort of weapon in case battle emerged.

'In the past?'
Mickey fell to the ground on the path in front of Sora with a soft hop that could hardly be called sudden or threatening. mickey wasn't even half Sora's height t be honest and without his Keyblade summoned he was as good as unarmed to anyone looking. After landing form a straight drop he looked up and across the way at the teenager, a genuinely concerned look filling his face.
"What are you saying, Sora? That you don't remember your past?"

"The Past...?"
Taking the moment to relax, his body still in instinct mode; his eyelids would close. As he tried to recall something from the depths of his conscious self, nothing seemed to come up when he thought of 'Sora'. Yet when he said his name, Roxas; visions started to pop up...albeit in random intervals. Before he knew it, his eyelids were open but his consciousness...simply wasn't there. His eyes looked possesed, little by little they'd loose that sense of 'life' becoming dull.
Trance...
[Flashback]
The sound of the school bell indicated it was time to go yet when he awoke, all he could see was the smiling face of his teacher and a boy whom's eyes he could not make out standing to his right. At least, it looked like a boy...

"Sora..?"
Genuine worry overtook the King's squeaky tone from its previous concern as his friend, or at least who he was still convinced was his friend, not only failed to answer him but seemed to glaze over as well. It was like the hero of the Keyblade wasn't even looking at the world in front of him anymore, let alone focusing on anything. Mickey ran the distance between them to the boy and started jumping up and down in short hops, barely reaching the top of his black-haired head to Sora's chest(Not coutning those large ears of course).
"Sora! Roxas! Can you hear me?!"

"No matter how you look at it, school's done champ." the voice which was different from anyone whom our hero would have encountered prior seemed to call out to him, yet it sounded familiar, like that of a true friend. "Y-yeah I guess it is huh?" He couldn't help but laugh, it was a nervous one but it still cleared the tension.
"Roxas, have you been sleeping well at home?" Another familiar voice, coming from that of an adult female...when she came into better focus, he couldn't see her eyes either, just the expression of worry from her lips and her long blond hair. "S-sorry I don't know what's happening to me...at all---"
[Flashback Ended]
Upon the King calling Roxas, his eyes blinked and then he looked to him.
"Sorry about that, you were saying?"

Mickey stopped his calling and held his hands in front of him,a s if waiting for the boy to lapse again. After a second of it not happening the King let out a sight and slouched his entire tiny frame downward.
'What trouble has he gotten himself into?' Mickey wondered, not even an inkling of realization that he too was a victim of the same circumstances that gave birth to the amnesia of the Kingdom Key's chosen one.
Mickey rose back up to his full, unimpressive, height with good posture and tilted his neck back to look up at Sora. The mouse's hands were put into fists and rested against his hips while his expression turned into one of scrutiny.
"What just happened to you?" he asked. "You looked like you feel asleep where you stood."

"Sorry." he couldn't help but sigh yet the memory that had just occured was quite pleasant. In fact, it caused a smile to grace his features as he looked down at the mouse infront of him. "I just recalled an ordinary day, at school...I fell asleep in class...I kinda miss home now. I've been traveling for awhile, somehow I managed to find this...spaceship. Weird huh?" Roxas seemed to talk about his past experiences with no struggle or further memory relapse.
"I guess I won't make it back home if I don't keep walking, will you walk with me...erm wait, I didn't catch your name, sorry but you are...?"
It would seem the beginning of a new friendship was about to occur between a dirty blonde teen named 'Roxas' and a rather large...yet by no means tall; Mouse.
