James was lying on his back across the surface of their Giant Peach, surrounded by his friends, the giant insects, who were looking around at the sky and sea. The Peach had been bobbing in the ocean for quite some time - several hours, the Grasshopper had estimated. They'd taken to naming the shapes of the clouds in the sky.
"A centipede," James pointed to a narrow cloud, that had little jagged edges along the bottom.
"Good eye, kiddo!" The Centipede smirked and chewed on his cigar a little, before pointing at a fat cloud next to a thin one. "There's your stupid aunts."
James laughed.
"I see a tea set, dearies!" The Ladybug pointed at another cloud. "I could go for a cuppa, thinking of it...."
"What do you see, Mr. Earthworm?" James asked politely, as the worm seemed to be looking nervously at the sea instead of at the sky.
"I see fish down there. One wrong slither and I'm their food," Earthworm commented glumly.
"No! In the sky," James helped. Earthworm would be happier if he looked up, right?
"The sky? What about it?" Earthworm turned his sunglassed eyes upward. "I see clouds... and impending DOOM!"
"Huh?"
"He's right," The spider pointed a thin, gloved finger toward the heavens, where a swirling black hole seemed to be opening up in the blue sky - directly above the Peach. James gasped and hid behind the Ladybug.
"It's the Rhino!! He's come back! Please, hide me!"
"Rhino, huh? I ain't afraid of no Rhino!" Centipede puffed up, glaring at the portal.
However, no Rhino seemed to be appearing. Instead, a group of children poured out, landing on the Peach's surface with a soft squish.
"I say," The Grasshopper marvelled, adjusting his spectacles and blinking in amazement. The others crowded around to see what had happened.

Unexpectedly, the other end of the portal was in midair. Namine didn't even realize until she was falling through the air, a scream caught in the back of her throat. Because she was no fool; she was well aware that even though she maybe wasn't exactly human a fall could definitely kill her. She landed on something soft, though, and even bounced a little.
She wanted to figure out where exactly she was, but couldn't because she knew that if she had fallen Zumi and the others couldn't be too far behind. She quickly got to her feet and scrambled out of the way. Noticing that their arrival had an audience, she gave a small wave. "Hello...?" she said, a slightly uncertain edge to her voice as she was more than a little surprised to see that almost everyone standing before her were insects of some sort.

The darkness of the portal felt strangely comforting to Kairi, as a blanket on a rainy day, cozy and all-encompassing. For a moment, she almost forgot where she had been heading. Somewhere new, to see find Sora, to help her friends.The sureness and confidence that had been coursing through Kairi's mind were brought to an abrupt halt as she realized that she was in a portal, and should be arriving somewhere new.
The realization of this fact corresponded with a sudden "pop" which left Kairi free of the portal. Her heart leapt, as she began to fall, emitting a scream. She had no idea where she was, but she was falling, and fast. She saw a few birds pass her by, as she accelerated, and then suddenly, she was face forward, peering at an expanding peach colored mass. It grew past the size of a normal peach, until it was so large, that it encompassed the whole of her line of vision, and then finally, SQUISH.
With a sickening feeling, she felt her face fall into the skin of the behemoth of a fruit; the skin yielded at the last minute, unable to take her weight, and she felt the juicy insides stream over her face, as she closed her eyes. Rolling over, she was almost pitched form the surface of the large peach, blinded by disgust, and peach juice in her eyes.
"Where are we?" she said, wiping her face to relieve herself of her currently sticky and gooey situation. "A... peach?" As her vision cleared, she was able to take a peek at the crowd that stared at her and Namine. "Oh, pardon us. And hello."

"Waaah!" Okashi fell out of the portal, his frostingy eyes widening at the sight of ... a bigger piece of food than he was! And a fruit, at that. Who would want a peach that big!?
However, the caw of seagulls caught his ear. One or two had noticed him and decided he seemed tasty. However, he had his mace in hand, and with a spinning sweep, firmly disciplined the featherbrains. The birds flapped away in a hurry, confused, but cawing to the others to let them know that this breakfast was more trouble than it was worth. The large bumps on their heads proved it.
Okashi laughed over his shoulder - right up until his head punched a small dent in the peach. It was what he got for not paying attention and righting himself. Flailing slightly, he pulled his head out. Noticing a big poof of pink frosting had stuck to the peach's surface, he hurriedly picked it up, smeared it back onto his head, and adopted an unassuming look. However, his 'hair' looked a bit runnier than usual. Peach juice.

"Woaaah-oooh~!" Zumi shouted as she fell from the portal...which was BRILLIANTLY placed in the sky. Fun. Zumi hurdled to the peach and fell with a thud. "OW OW OW O-Oh hey, I'm not dead." Zumi sat up, her hair frazzled, and her shovel slipping off the peach. "Oh no no no!" Zumi leaned over and grabbed her shovel. Straightening herself out, she looked back and...blinked, really. Zumi paused, looking at the giant...well...bugs.
"...Did someone slip something into my food, drink, or-or something?"

Limos of course was not as incompetent and he might seem. He most definately did not fall from the portal onto a lage squishy fruit. It was a controlled plummet onto the only available land. He also definatley meant to land on his face and bury his upper body completely in squishy orange goo.
His legs wiggle back and forth disconsolantly for a moment before slumping against the fruit. I don't like this place. Who in their right mind would make a ship of food. His mental grumblings of course went unheard. The downside of not having vocal cords.

"Oh, no," Namine said when she saw how Limos had fallen. She was understandably wary of him, considering he seemed to be a Heartless, but she couldn't help feeling sorry for him. Going over to him, she pulled on his legs. 'I hope I'm not hurting him,' she thought. "Can somebody give me a hand?" she asked not only her friends, but the strange gathering of insects before them.

Zumi set her shovel down again (this time on a more even plane) and walk over to Namine. Zumi tugged on Namine's waist, in an attempt to assist plucking Limos out of the...peach?

The girls succeed in freeing Limos from his sticky and albeit pleasantly fragrant prison. His body from the waist up coated in violently orange goo Limos scampers indignantly up the stem of the oversized produce to glare balefully at the giant insects. Admittedly it was not immediately apparant that he was indeed glaring, or baleful. The combination of a wearing a mask with a permanent smile and being the color of your Uncle's hawaiin shirt makes it somewhat difficult to determine facial expressions.
Stupid bugs, making ships out of foods. Now all sticky.

Zumi climbed after Limos to the stem, to find that Limos was, indeed, covering in peach...stuff. (Rather sticky, but at least he smelt better, or so Zumi thought.)
"Aw shoot, now Fred's all sticky n'stuff!" Zumi began to dig through her pockets, hoping to find a napkin, or a handkerchief, but to no avail. (She did, however, pull out 5 munny, a ball of yarn, and a crumpled up letter of mysterious orgins.)

Namine wasn't quite sure what to do about the sticky Limos. The only thing she could think of that would remotely help would be to use Blizzard on him and let the ice melt. But that probably wouldn't be very fun for poor Limos. She looked at the bugs, who were still staring at them. "How do you suggest we get him clean?" she asked the small assembly. "Seeing as how it was your peach that made him all sticky in the first place," she added, not meanly just matter of factly.

"Oh dear dear dear! You poor thing. I'll get you cleaned up in an instant!" The ladybug somehow pulled a watering can out of her purse, giving him a nice shower and then handing him a towel - also out of her purse.
"Hello," James responded to Kairi and Namine, shyly watching all the antics. He never had any friends besides the insects, so he didn't know what to do. "Who are you? How did you fall out of the sky?"

Zumi's eyes lit up at what she now dubbed "The Magical Bag of Magical-ness." (Well, not publicly, but that's what she'd call it to herself anyway.) Gathering her wits at the shy (cute) boy's question, Zumi did a rewind. With a bow of her head, she said, "I'm Zumi, and Namine there," she pointed at our very own blondie, "is a witch with super awesome cool powers."

Namine swatted Zumi gently on the arm. She didn't think it was exactly the best thing ever for those they didn't know well to know that Namine wasn't quite human. She gave Zumi a look and then said, "My friend here is kind of silly. I'm not sure why we're here or how we got here, but we're here." She shrugged. "We also don't know where we are so...um...where are we?"
