AN: I did say that these were unlikely crossovers, so here's one for a new category that even I haven't done yet. I looked, and was sorely disappointed in the lack of crossovers with this one.

So sorry for the lateness, I've got so much other writing stuff, check out my deviant art to see what I've been working on.

Alphabet city

If there was one thing Sora hated, it was people who mistreated the impoverished. So he nearly blew a gasket at this new world when he saw someone yelling harshly at a homeless man just for stopping to take a rest by his flashy car. After doing his best not to meddle too badly, and failing at that quite well, he met a group of people who seemed nice, if not surprising.

Here's a rough retelling of how things went down.

Sora Donald and Goofy had been walking along trying to get a take on the new world they discovered that there were many impoverished people, and not many people cared.

"Ass off the range rover!" A smug looking man yelled at a clearly homeless man who had merely stopped for a breather. The sight of him actually kicking the man prompted Sora to take action.

"Hey, you can't treat someone like that?"

The man turned, an annoyed look on his face. The bum slipped away diring the commotion.

"Step off kid this has nothing to do with you!"

Sora simply fumed, and to Donald and Goofy's frustration, he marched right up to the man and poked him hard in the shoulder.

"Berating someone who was only resting is just plain cruelty." He said, "What happened to respect huh?"

"Look kid!" The man snapped at him, "People either work or leech, and those people garner sympathy from hard working individuals for cash."

The guys shallow way of thinking made Sora even angrier, so he shoved him backwards, making the man angry and Donald and Goofy wondering why they didn't hold Sora back when they had the chance.

"I've got half a mind to call the cops on you, you little punk." The man barked, reaching in his coat to likely pull out a cell phone, but a voice stopped him.

"Now Benny, is that any way to treat a young man and his friends?"

They turned to see a woman close in on them with a happy yet determined look in her eye. She had short black hair and wore a blue coat with white trim that showed off legs that seemed to go for miles covered in a pair of green tights. She held a pair of drumsticks tight in one hand and had a plastic pickle tub tucked under the other arm.

"You never learn do you Benny-boy?" She asked, putting the tub on the ground, "If you aggravate people they'll just keep going physical on you."

"He assaulted me."

The woman waved the remark off, "A little push isn't gonna kill you. How about this? I'll take care of the boy if you just mosey along."

Benny didn't seem to keen on the idea of just letting Sora get away with shoving him, but even he couldn't say no to this lady and just got in the car and drove off.

The woman turned to the trio, "You three must be new if you're gonna get in Benny's way like that." She remarked, "But I gotta give you points for spunk."

Sora shrugged, "Well I couldn't let his bother that guy for resting."

"You still shouldn't have interfered!" Donald yelled.

"Don't worry sugar," The kind woman assured them "some people are just a big old stick in the mud."

"If you say so." Sora said with a blush

"I'm Angel." She said with a smile,

"I'm Sora, this is Donald and Goofy." The brunette said, liking this woman.

She giggled at them, "How cute! I was just heading to my boyfriend's apartment. I bet they'd like to meet you."

"That'd be great." Sora said with a grin.

"Sorry about Benny by the way." Angel said lightly to them as they walked, "He used to have decent values, but then he married for money and turned into her papa's little lapdog."

"Well at least there are nice people like you around." Sora said with a grin.

The drummer giggled, "You are too kind."

Angel decided to take them to one of her friends apartment's so they could rest, especially after they told her they were travelers and just got there. It was just as run down as the rest of the city, but it also had an almost homey feeling to it.

There were several people waiting for them, a blonde man with glasses and an old video camera, a grungy looking guy with a guitar, a woman with pretty revealing clothing, and a black man in a coat and happy smile. When they arrived everyone greeted Angel, and it was the camera man who asked the question.

"Who're these guys Angel?" He zoomed in on a now flustered Sora.

"Uh, I'm Sora, this is Donald and Goofy." He said, giving the standard intro.

"Okay kiddo, into time!" Angel sang, pointing everyone out as she listed them off, "The gentleman with the camera is Mark, he's filming a documentary of some kind. The broody boy with the guitar is Roger, and the lovely lady at his side is Mimi. And that" She gestured to the final guy who was smiling and laughing, "Is my man Collins."

"We'd like you to meet Maureen and Joanne, but they're out working on a performance." Mimi noted.

"Ah," Sora quickly tried to think of a way to learn more, "Uh, what do you guys do here?"

Collins shrugged, "Well, I'm a philosophy teacher. Mimi dances over at the cat-scratch club, but I think you're a little oung to have seen her in action , Mark does his camera thing, and Roger just sits around moping and writing songs. Of course I can't forget Angel's superb drumming."

"You drum Angel?" Sora asked, eager to see if she'd demonstrate. She got a renewed spark in here eye.

"Do I?"

With that two word question she leapt up, whipped out her sticks and began to tap out an up tempo beat on the plastic pickle tub. It wasn't too long before she moved on to other surfaces. It was amazing, she briskly drummed out healthy beats on every surface she could get to. Countertops, pipes, Roger's head. Sora was impressed as she finished with a flourish and everyone applauded.

"That was amazing Angel!" Sora said, "Did you learn that recently?"

Angel laughed and tapped a few slow beats on the pickle tub.

"Nah, that was before I knew I was gay."

That brought the world traveler's attention to a grindin halt

Sora tilted his head, "Gay? But you're with Collins…"

There was a long pause as Sora took a moment to put two and two together. The others stared, but Mimi soon let out a giggle, realizing what this was all about. SHe got up from her seat and whispered in Sora's ear.

"Sora," She offered, "Sweetie, Angel has the same parts as you."

Three, two, one.

"You're not a girl?" He finally said with some shock.

They all laughed at the world wanderer's reactions. Mark filmed them with a grin as Sora blushed a deep red. Even Donald and Goofy laughed, even though they hadn't realized it either. Angel walked over to the flustered brunette.

"It's okay Sora." She-He said, "That's a compliment."

And with that he kissed Sora on the cheek, making him go even redder.

"Uh…well…"

"It's fine kid." Mark assure him, "You see, we live live to the best. And we always measure our lives in love."
