Sora frowned, lowering his head and flexing his hands into fists. "I wish it was that simple, Ed. I just wanted to get my friends back and go home too, but I'm still out here trying to find them. We were going to travel together too, and we got lost." He looked up with a forlorn smile, "But that doesn't change the fact that I still have a duty as master of the keyblade."
~~~
"Oh? Then you didn't fail at all!" Minnie giggled.
Alphonse cocked his head to the side, "Huh? What do you mean?"
"You're actually closer to the fourth key than you realize! Mickey didn't tell you the fourth key had a brother?"

Ed clenched his fists as well. "Damn...It figures. Every time I think my brother and I find peace, something always gets in the way to make our lives miserable again..." he muttered, placing his automail hand on the window.
"Aw, don't worry, Ed. You'll find your brother..." Goofy said, reassuring the boy. "Just like Sora will find Riku and Kairi again."
~~~
Kairi blinked. "R-Really?" she asked surprised then looked to Al then back to Minnie. "Do you think Al's brother could be the fourth key bearer then?"
"Well, they are both from the same world. It's a great possibility..." Riku said. "Which means, finding the fourth key might make our job a lot simpler now that we have Alphonse."

Sora grinned, "Which is why I can keep on smiling! We'll have fun on the way too, so don't be such a sour puss!" As he said it, he stuck his fingers in the sides of Ed's mouth and forced a smile by tugging on his cheeks.
Donald laughed and began to tickle the alchemist for a smile as well.
~~~
"Brother is a key bearer!? Wow~! That's cool! I can't wait to find him!" Alphonse said, shivering with excitement. His armor rattled as he did so.
Minnie giggled, "Well there we go then! I wish I could help a bit more... Oh wait!" She scampered into the king's study and brought out a book. "Here! I was told to give this to the fourth key by the King. Can you hold onto it for me?"
Alphonse took the book and nodded, placing it inside his armor. "Sure thing. Ed loves books!"
"So I hear!" She giggled again.

"GAH!" Ed yelled as Sora pulled on his cheeks then started giggling when Donald tickled him with his feather, just as Goofy joined in on the fun and ruffled his hair. "Nyu! Shtop! Tat ticklesh!" Ed said as Sora continued to pull his cheeks, laughing as he fell over onto the floor.
"There you see? No frowns on this ship! Ah hyuck!"
~~~
"Thanks Queen Minnie! We knew we could count on you! We'll find the fourth key soon!" Kairi said and saluted, smiling.
"Aw man, does that mean we have to go already? We just got here!" Riku said, folding his arms behind his head like he was leaning on an invisible wall.

Sora and Donald too laughed and eventually everyone was lying on the floor, worn out but still smiling. "See? That wasn't so bad, was it Ed?"
"Yup!" Donald quacked, "It sure was fun!"
~~~
"I am a bit tired," Alphonse lied. Of course he wasn't tired... physically at least. His mind was just as rattled as his armor though. All this information at once was too much for the poor boy.
Minnie giggled, seeing through his charade, "I understand. If you're bored, you can always visit Chip and Dale down in the Gummi Garage. They're always happy to see friends."
"Gummi Garage? That's where Gummi Ships are made, right?"

Ed nodded and sat up, smiling a bit. "Yeah, you're right... It's like what me and Al always say. We won't give up and we'll keep moving forward! If obstacles stop us, then we'll find another way!"
"That's the spirit!" Goofy said happily. "And look! It looks like we're almost there!" he said, pointing to the map where Yen Sid lived.
~~~
"Oh! Sure we can go do that!" kairi said and smiled, turning to look at Al. "Yup! Those two sure love to work on the gummi ships. They've helped Sora, Donald and Goofy a lot on their missions in the past.
"Okay, whatever," Riku said and thanked Minnie before turning to head to the Garage. "Let's go you two."

Sora's eyes lit up and he jumped to his feet. "Oh right! Lookit!" He pointed out onto the horizion towards the Mysterious Tower: "Yup! That's our stop!" Donald chuckled, "Ed finally gets to learn about the keyblade!" ~~~ Minnie waved bye to the adventurers, "Have fun! And good luck!" "Thanks! We will!" Alphonse called back. As they walked down the hall towards the Garage, Al began to think. "Maybe while we're visiting Chip and Dale, I could learn a thing or two about this Gummi stuff. I'd love to learn how to build a ship!"

"Huh...So that's where the sorcerer lives..." Ed said, looking out the window as he strapped in again.
Goofy handed the boy another bag, just in case he got sick again when they landed.
~~~
As the three walked closer to the Garage, they could hear squeaky little voices coming from the other side of the door.
"No! You have to put that part here, otherwise it won't work!" "How do you know? You haven't tried it!"
"Sorry, to interrupt, boys..." Riku said as they entered.
"Oh look! It's Riku and Kairi!" Chip said, bouncing up happily. "And some new guy too!" Dale said in response.

"Yeah... just be prepared to walk up a bunch of stairs though..." Sora sweatdropped with a sheepish smile as he too strapped in. This time, he wasn't getting out of his seat.
~~~
Alphonse waved to the chipmunks, "H-Hi... I'm Alphonse Elric. Aren't you a bit small to be building things so big?"

Ed shrugged. "Well...I only have one leg to worry about..." he muttered, since his left leg was fake.
~~~
"Hey! Just because we're small doesn't mean we can think big!" Chip said bouncing up and down "Yeah! Gummi blocks aren't that heavy!" Dale responded.
"These...are Chip and Dale," Kairi said and giggled.
"So...do you guys have anything new we could add to our ship?" Riku asked, bending down.
"Oh yes!! We were just examining your ship!" "You could use more projectiles and shield gummis!"
"Awesome! Could you guys provide us some?" Riku asked excitedly.
"Sure!" "For a price..."
"Of course..."

"Even with one leg, you'll get worn out, fast." Sora laughed, "It's quite the hike."
"Sora, don't push it on him," Donald warned the boy.
~~~
Alphonse raised a hand first, "So like... this gummi stuff... is it hard to use? I mean, I've just never heard of it before."

Ed rolled his eyes. "Whatever... Traveling for four years with my brother toughened me out. I'm sure I can handle it..." he said as the ship went through turbulence. Ed blinked and sunk in his seat, feeling sick again. After they landed, Ed heaved in the back once more. "Ugh...except, it didn't toughen me out for THAT!"
~~~
"It's pretty simple to use. Sometimes, if you have enough parts, you can build your own ship!" Kairi said smiling.
"Here you are!" "That will be 2000 munny!"
"Yeah, yeah...Here you go..." Riku said, pulling out munny from his pocket.

Sora laughed and patted Ed on the back, "Don't worry, you'll get used to it~!"
"Yeah, Sora used to blow chunks all the time too," Donald said, disgusted.
~~~
"WOW~!! That would be a fun project! Oh, I wonder if building it would be like constructing something with alchemy! I would love to do something like that with Brother! We could build our own ship and then fly straight home!" Alphonse chattered happily.

Ed groaned and stood up shakily. "Okay, I'm ready to go..." he said, walking out of the ship.
~~~
Kairi and Riku looked at each other then looked to Al. "Well...it's not that easy, Al..." Kairi said and shrugged. "Once we find your brother, we need him to help us restore the worlds back to normal along with the other keyblades..."
"Plus, you can't go home to a black hole of nothingness..." Riku muttered.

Sora went under Ed's arm to support him, "Don't push yourself. We've got a motto on this ship:"
" 'All for one and One for all!' " Donald chimed for him.
The group looked up at the tall tower. The last time they were there, Sora just woke up from a year-long nap. Now, it was Ed's turn to meet the man who had trained King Mickey: Yen Sid.
~~~
Alphonse lowered his head, "Oh yeah... I forgot..." His soul felt heavy as he thought about the tragedy again. Then out of no where, gummi blocks were shoved into his arms. "Hey!" He exclaimed as he stepped back from the sudden load.
