KID: Til Balance Shifts
Chapter 1: California Adventure
I finished placing the miniature of Ariel and Eric behind their castel keeping my promise to Ariel that she would have legs. No one knew I was doing this but what they knew wouldn't hurt them, unless you're talking about the Overtakers. I walked away from the Storybook Land Canal Boats and towards the entrance to the big green building. It was time to go to work, another day in the life of me.
I sat in my office after another meeting for the World of Color which was behind schedule due to technical difficulties. Ariel was getting her first actual ride next year and the progress on that was going great. Cars Land was on its way but still a big dirt lot and the Silly Symphony Swings were set to open up in a couple of months. If you're wondering what I'm talking about I'm talking about the newest attractions in Disney's California Adventure. They were being built at the time to expand the smaller park into a bigger one. Even though I spent most of my time at Disneyland I was still in charge of Disney's California Adventure. I waited through the meeting discussing the success for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas and New Year. My Fantasmic show was brought up occasionally saying how it was a great success and how it should be permanent, but my answer was always no. That show was meant to stop the Overtakers and it served it's purpose but that was the only time I was doing it, unless I had to defeat them again.
The meeting ended after discussing more things about Disneyland Resort. I walked to my office which was across the way from the meeting room. I sat down at the big desk that Wayne had found for me and was given to me by one of my relatives. It was Walt's old desk and now it was mine. I started going through my emails to see if I had gotten anything back from Lisa on the book. Wayne had talked me into making a book about my adventures in Disneyland, he said it would get me and the team some more belief so in case worse came to worse we were set.
I heard some foot steps come into my office, I could smell the person had English toffee fresh from the Main Street Candy store. I could almost taste the caramel and nuts with the chewy center melting in my mouth. Only one person would bring me one of my favorite candies to the office, it was Wayne.
Wayne happened to be the bearer of bad news, and my legal guardian. I could sense his light blue eyes percing the back of my skull as I typed something to Lisa about the book. "What's up Wayne? I thought you were checking out Walt Disney World Resort for mishaps in the DHIs," I said to the old white haired man.
"I was until I heard that we were having some problems at Disney's California Adventure," he said.
"Wayne, there are always problems in that park. The rides break down all the time," I said with my back to him in the big leather chair while I continued to type on my computer.
"There are more to those problems then you think."
"What do you mean by that Wayne?" I said turning to face him in my chair.
"I mean that there is something going on in California Adventure that is related to the Halloween incident."
"So we have an OT in Cali? I didn't think they would come back this soon," I spun all the way around in my chair. Dang I had enough trouble getting them out of the park last time. There are still to many things for me to worry about right now with the Overtakers. I had the book, Disney in general, and how I'm suddenly a celebrity when I walked into the park. I pulled on my hair and then started twisting the crown or should I say necklace in my fingers. I pulled my long blonde hair out of my blue eyes and looked at Wayne in my business mode. "I need a that candy that's in your hand, I'll call up the DHIs to see if we can get a contract going for Cali and we already have the monitors set up for the park so that's good. I'll bring this up at tomorrow's meeting and I'll be in the park tonight,"
"It's a good thing that book is coming out tomorrow," Wayne said.
"Yeah," I said. One more thing to worry about.
"You need to be in the park ASAP and you wont have your team with you."
" I know that Wayne, most of them are in Disneyland. So I'll get a new team going tonight." he walked out of the room doing one of his infamous disappearing acts. Great I'm back to to being Princess Kid in a whole new kingdom.
I looked at the clock which now read seven o'clock. I was on the phone for at least two hours talking to the DHIs about the new contract and getting them approved at the same time. I turned off my computer and walked down stairs and out of the building. I got on a golf cart to Disneyland and off to my appartment. As soon I had walked up the stairs. I walked to my room and my tired head hit the pillow letting me drift off into a new adventure.
I appeared inside the opening of the park and started to walk to the central of Sunshine Plaza looking around for any signs of danger. The trees swayed in the wind and the water spilled over the wall making a beautiful wave.. I stood there for a minute looking to my left to see Hollywood Pictures Backlot and Golden State to my right. I tried to think where I could get the most information an turned towards Hollywood Pictures Backlot. There were hundred of characters back here someone would have to know something.
I walked down the street that had pavement that seemed to glitter while rim lights seemed to shine brighter then the old fashion street lights. I went to the back of the lot to find two huge monsters holding a little one while they looked for something. They looked scared as the blue one held on to the little purple one while the round green one seemed to be complaining about something. I recognized them immediately as Sully, Bo, and Mike. I approached them carefully knowing that they were probably looking for Randal. I walked over to them quietly looking for any sign of the camouflaging lizard. I calmed myself into a state of balance and let my powers do the rest. I felt each movement in the area looking for the attacker I finally realized where he was a second too late. He was behind me an in an instant. His hands wrapped around my neck and I was soon gasping for air. Why is it always me, wait maybe it's because I'm the good guy here.
"Well, well, Sullivan I didn't know you brought another one to Monstropolis," Randal sneered.
"He didn't bring me here I just walked in here you idiot," I coked out.
"So you must be the one my boss is looking for." While he was speaking I was focusing on getting out of his scaley arms. I focused on the belief of good and soon I was glowing with an aura of good. "Ah!" Randal screamed. He let go of me letting me get air. I thought of him all tied up and as always the bad guy was in shackles in a second. I thought of a stick perfect for Bo and then said, "Hey Bo! Look it's a giant lizard pinata, if you wack him hard enough candy might come out!" She escaped out of Sully's furry grasp and was whacking Randal senseless.
I walked over to the two and said, "You guys ok?"
"Yes, but the question is who are you?"
"My name is," I started only to her a yell from above that screamed, "Hit the deck kid!" I immediately went to the ground covering my head. A boy flew over my head and knocked out the two monsters with the flat side of his sword. I got up off the ground when I realized my flying best friend was the one who had made the call.
"Are we alsays going to run into each other like this?" Peter Pan asked me hovering a foot off the ground.
"What me getting attacked by a good guy and you almost killing them?"
"No me saving you from it," he said like he had done some heroic deed.
"Saving me from what? Cause if you were here to save me you're a few minutes too late. Plus you knocked out the wrong monster. The tow you hit are actually pretty funny," I said as I shook the massive forms of Sully and Mike.
"Uh huh," he said staring at me in disbelief. "So what brings you to these parts any way?"
"Balance has shifted and this is where they are now," I said looking at the figures to see that the bump on the head should have worn off by now and I think they had fainted.
"By they you mean the Overtakers,"
"No Peter, the cute little fuzzy bunnies that want to attack us. Yes, the Overtakers who else want to destroy Disney?" I got up and walked away from the still bodies and thought of them waking up as soon as I had walked away and Randal locked up in his ride. I walked away with Peter following me.
"Someone's not in a good mood," Peter said.
"I'm sorry. I'm just stressed out."
"Bout what?"
"Overtakers, Disney, finding a new team."
"What do you mean new team?"
"Peter, not every one on the old team is in this park, like Indy and Jack. This is one adventure they aren't going to be in."
"But I'm on the team right?"
"Well yeah, who else would I have for sky duty? Plus Pete you're my right hand guy," I said punching his shoulder playfully. We did a round around the park finding nothing out of the ordinary or at least in Peter's words until we almost go flatten by by something.
"He took the red one!"
"Who did Peter?" I asked.
"Stitch," he said.
"What do you mean red one? There's no red space cruiser here," I said as a car shot passed us again.
"No but there is a red car."
"You mean Lightning McQueen?" The car speed by again the car screaming while a little fluffy ball of blue laughed inside of it. I thought of the car stopping and then Stitch floating out of the car window. Stitch hung suspended in mid air as he squirmed to get out of my hold on him. "Apoligize to him now Stitch!"
"No."
"Yes or else water,"
"Fine, Me sorry for driving you fast car."
"There you see that wasn't so hard." I was going to say something to Lightning but he had already drove away with out even saying thank you. Big shot race car. Stitch looked at me and picked his nose with his tongue.
"You wouldn't," Peter said.
"Come on he could help."
"How?"
"Come on Peter I see potential in him."
"Fine, just as long as he doesn't eat Tink."
"Hey Stitch you wana help us defeat the Overtakers?"
"Ok," he said. And that was the first new addition to our team. I could see the sun rising over the horizon signaling it was time to go.
I woke up in my bed and stared at the ceiling. Last night I had achieved at least something. I got Stitch as a team member and I had some info too. The Overtakers were back and they had gotten some new recruits too. Also had another piece of info, my life had just gotten a whole lot crazier.
