Mickey led them to his map room, where he had maps of all the connected worlds and how they were connected. Many of them were locked, but some of them were unlocked, which worried him. One or two were even flickering in between.

"These are all the connected worlds that we know of," he told the girls.

Curious, although still not necessarily believing, Summer leaned in to study the map. There was something about it, something she couldn't quite put her finger on, that made her want to go out and find these worlds. Something about combination of locked worlds, lit worlds, and the flickering ones made her suddenly and desperately want to go out and make it so they were all locked and safe.

"What is this?" she asked quietly, still staring at the map.

"These ones," Mickey pointed to a world, "are locked. That means that they're connected, but not accessible, unless you have a Keyblade. These ones," he indicated one of the flickering worlds, "are besieged by darkness. They're in trouble."

"What worlds are these?" Summer asked, gently touching the map. "Are they like other planets? Or other dimensions?"

"A little of both," Mickey said. "They're other planets, but sometimes other worlds contain multiple planets. I've seen worlds that are as small as a town and some beach around the town, and as large as a few planets."

"So say we believe you," Summer finally said, looking at him. She couldn't look at him for too long, though, it just felt weird, so she looked at the map again. "Say we buy into the crazy. Then what?"

Mickey was quiet for a moment. "Well, then you get Keyblades, to help combat the darkness and protect the worlds," he told them, as if it were that easy.

"And so how does that work?" Summer pressed. "What is a Keyblade, even? What does it do?"

"A Keyblade..." Mickey paused, considering how to phrase it. "Keyblades combat the darkness. They have the ability to lock, or unlock, worlds, and to aide in travel between them."

That didn't tell her anything, and Summer made a bit of a face. She wasn't getting and straight answers, and it was starting to get frustrating.

"Why don't you see for yourself?" Mickey asked, looking at her. "If you decide to take your Keyblade, you won't lose anything. Worst that'll happen is you'll have something good to whack things with."

Summer considered that. It was a good point, she really didn't have much to lose, especially if she was still dreaming, like she thought. She glanced at Rose to see what her sister thought.

Rose nodded slightly, her thoughts running on a similar line. Really, it couldn't hurt to actually see what Mickey was talking about.

"Alright, then," Mickey said. He held out one of his hands, and his Keyblade appeared in a bright flash of light. He held it out. "This a Keyblade. You need to touch it, in order for your heart to imprint on it and create one of your own."

Rose hesitated for a moment before she reached out, touching one edge of the handle. It was warmer than she expected, and it made her heart thump, an odd mixture of excitement and almost recognition. She blinked.

"Go on," Mickey encouraged, nodding. "You've almost got it. Call it forth." Her keyblade was there, he was sure of it. She just needed to summon it.

Rose eyed him for a moment like he was crazy, but she did it anyway. She imagined holding a keyblade like his, and then it was in her hand. She blinked and raised her hand, looking at the keyblade. Well. That was new.

"That's the way!" Mickey said, nodding. "You've got it!" He took the moment to briefly look over her keyblade. It looked exactly like Sora's keyblade, the opposite of Mickey's own, with a silver blade and gold guards.

Summer couldn't help but stare when she saw it appear in Rose's hand.

"What just happened?" she asked. "How did that just happen?"

"Honestly I don't think I could tell you, and I just did it." Rose tilted her key blade around, examining it from different angles. "I think if you try it, you'll see what I mean."

Summer considered that for a moment, weighing it in her head. Finally, she turned to Mickey and cautiously reached out a hand. The moment her fingers touched his keyblade, her heart seemed to skip a beat and then sped up a little in anticipation. Something inside of her settled into a slightly different pattern than before, but it was as comfortable as if it had been that way her whole life.

Without any sort of conscious thought, she held her hand out a little in front of her and her own keyblade appeared in her hand, cool and comforting.

"I don't know what I was expecting," she murmured after a moment, "but that wasn't it."

"Right?" Rose swung her keyblade a little, watching it. "This feels... odd but good? Kind of natural in a way I didn't anticipate?"

"Yeah, kinda," Summer agreed, hefting her own keyblade. It felt good in her hand, not very heavy at all, and it swung through the air smoothly. She tossed it into the air experimentally, and it flipped once before landing neatly in her hand again. "Oh that was cool."

Rose snickered a bit at that, making a few experimental swipes with it. "I could get used to this, definitely."

Summer glanced up, trying to gauge how tall the ceilings were. She had no idea why a four-foot mouse would need twenty-foot ceilings, but she was definitely okay with it for the moment. She tossed her keyblade again, watching it spin gracefully before catching it in her other hand.

Rose snickered at that. "Now you're just having fun," she accused teasingly. "Honestly, I think we'll have plenty of time to practice."
