Okay, peoples! It's time for the many mini prequels to Legend of the Eight Firstborn! Starting off with this Fulbright Family story, Attitude Adjustment! These won't be as long as the bigger stories, but longer than the one-shots, of course.
Chapter 1: Fanny's Anger
Fulbright Household
The Fulbright brothers, Paddy and Shaunie, were hard at work setting up a miniature racetrack in the living room of their house. The small orange racetrack seemed to go all around the living room and even part of the kitchen. As Shaunie checked up the last bit of track, he was approached by Paddy. "Is everything ready?"
Shaunie checked a little more and gave Paddy a thumbs-up. "Mm-hm!"
"Great! Then it's all set! The car will start at the top of the stairs, slide down and through the bars, over the table and into the kitchen, go up a loop and onto the kitchen table, over the sink and back down, come back in here, and finally zoom up the ramp and hit the bull's-eye on the door!" Paddy explained, indicating the target on a paper taped to the front door.
"This'll be the fastest racetrack EVER!" Shaunie exclaimed.
"Heck yeah! Alright, let's get this baby set up!" With that, the older brother picked up the tiny car and placed it on the start of the track at the top of the stair railing.
"On your mark…" Shaunie started as Paddy held the racecar in place. "Get set…" Paddy held an excited look on his face, waiting for his brother to say, "GO!" And so, Paddy released the car, which zoomed straight down the stairs and over the track through the bars.
They watched as it went across the table, down on the floor and into the kitchen. The car went over a loop-di-loop up onto a chair and up to the table. It went over the bridge across to the kitchen counter, over the sink, and coming back down to the floor and back into the living room.
"And racer Number 1 closes in on the finish line!" Paddy said as the car was about to come up to the ramp. "He shoots AND…" But just when the car was about to go up the ramp, their excited expressions turned to horror when Fanny suddenly came in through the door and the tiny car shot up and hit her in the right eye.
"OW!" Fanny held a hand over it in pain. She then noticed her two little brothers standing there and growled in pure anger as she uncovered her now black eye.
"Uh, wait! Fanny! We can explain! We-" Paddy pleaded.
"IT WAS HIS IDEA!" Shaunie yelled, pointing at Paddy.
"HEY!"
"RRAAAHHH!" The two brothers screamed and ran as their angry sister began chasing them around the living room. As they ran, Fanny knocked over and crushed parts of the racetrack.
Soon, Fanny cornered them in the living room. "NO! FANNY! NOT THE FA-" But Paddy's pleas were unheard, and they began screaming for help when their sister gave them an unmerciful beating. She finally stopped and her brothers were now battered and torn.
"WHAT THE CRUD WERE YOU TWO DOING?!"
"We were just playing with our new racetrack!" Paddy yelled.
"Yeah! And you just crushed it, you big monster!" Shaunie screamed.
"We spent hours making that!"
"YAAH!" Fanny screamed, kicking another part of the track. "UGH, you STOOPID BOYS! Ya shouldn't even be playing with this in the house! Set it up in your own room or set it up in Sector W's treehouse! How do ya expect people to get around this house with your stoopid toys lyin' around?!"
"Well, it's not our fault your butt's so big, you need all the room you can to get around!" Paddy yelled.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Fanny screamed, her eyes catching on fire and her blood boiling with anger.
"NOTHING! NOTHING!" Paddy screamed as he and Shaunie shielded their selves.
"Good!" Fanny's fire died down. "Now, I'm going to Rachel's to see if she has any ice bags I can borrow. Here's a list of chores I need done before Mom and Dad get home." She gave them a piece of paper with a list of chores and headed for the door.
"Why do we have to do your chores?" Shaunie asked.
"Because A) I'm busy with KND stuff, B) I'm a higher ranked operative and C) I'm your big sister, I'm in charge whenever our parents are away, SO WHAT I SAY GOES!" With that, she slammed the door on her way out.
After looking at their fist task, which was to get some groceries, they headed out the door on their way to the store. "Aw, man! This stinks!" Paddy whined. "Why do we always get stuck doing Fanny's chores? Why is she always such a jerk?"
"Yeah! Why can't she be nice for once?" Shaunie asked.
"You know, I bet if she was smaller than us, she wouldn't act so tough!"
"Too bad she couldn't be as big as our racecar."
"Yeah. We need to find a way to—OAF!" Paddy was silenced when Ed, Edd, and Eddy drove by on their cardboard bus and fired a newspaper at Paddy into a house via Ed's mouth.
"Eddy? Are you sure that firing newspapers at houses using Ed's mouth as a cannon is really necessary?" Double D asked. "Imagine the germs crawling around in that drool!"
"Relax, Double D! After we finish this paper route, we'll be swimmin' in jawbreakers!"
"But Eddy, didn't we already gain enough respect from the kids for Kevin to let us have all the jawbreakers we desire after that unmerciful beating from your older brother?"
"Well, yeah… but who cares! Scams like these are always fun to do! KEEP AT IT, LUMPY!" Eddy stuffed more newspapers into Ed's ear.
"I'm a penguin, guys!" With that, Ed spat more papers into houses, breaking windows and knocking people out.
Paddy recovered, walked back over to Shaunie, and yelled, "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE AIMING THAT THING! You know, sometimes, I think that Eddy kid would make great friends with Harvey."
"…Wait, Paddy!" Shaunie spoke up. "Doesn't Abby's uncle own a magic shop downtown? Maybe we could use something in there to get back at Fanny!"
"No. He only opens the shop up at night." Paddy replied as he decided to look at the newspaper. "Dad doesn't let us go out that late."
"Oh. So, what do we do now?"
"Wait! Shaunie! Check this out!" he exclaimed, showing his brother the paper. "It says here that Rumpel Stiltskin is in town."
"What's a Rumpel Stiltskin?"
"It says here that Rumpel Stiltskin is a magical elf creature that sells people potions, magic charms, and makes other sorts of magical deals."
"'He makes all your dreams come true.'" Shaunie read. "You think he could help us with Fanny?"
"It's worth a shot. If I get any more beat up, I'm gonna go handicapped! I'm not ready for the wheelchair life!"
"Me neither! Let's go!" With that, the two brothers went off to find Rumpel Stiltskin.
Rachel's House
"Here you go, Fanny. This oughta get your eye better." Rachel said as she handed her friend an ice bag. The two were in Rachel's living room, along with Patton, sitting on the couch.
"Thanks, Rachel." She took the ice bag and placed it over her eye. "Ahhh… Boy, I tell ya, those two can be a real pain. I mean, Ah love them and all, but sometimes, they can drive me to the point of insanity!"
"Fanny, ALL BOYS drive you to the point of insanity ALWAYS!" Patton retorted.
"Well, some more than others!"
"Man, I know just how you feel, Fanny." Rachel said. "Harvey's a sweet brother, but sometimes, he just gives me a headache!"
"It's different for ya, Rachel. Harvey looks up to ya. Paddy and Shaunie are just plain annoying!"
"Hey, if anything, you two are the lucky ones!" Patton replied. "You get little brothers, and I'm stuck with annoying sisters! …Okay, one annoying sister; you know one night, she painted my fingernails pink?"
"Is that why you wear gloves all the time?" Rachel asked.
"No! This outfit's just cool!"
"Don't ya ever get hot being an Eskimo?" Fanny asked.
"Not as hot as you get all the time!"
"ARE YOU SAYING I'M ALWAYS ANGRY?"
"WELL, YOU ARE!"
"GUYS, GUYS, calm down!" Rachel exclaimed, holding Fanny back. "No offense, Fanny, but your anger can get out of control sometimes."
"Well, it's those stoopid boys' fault! If they weren't so annoying all the time, I wouldn't be so angry!"
"Still, Fanny, it wouldn't hurt to be a little nicer to them." Rachel said. "Otherwise, you never know what they might do."
"Yeah, but they know what Ah'm gonna do if they so much as THINK about trying something! Ah'm goin' to the Moonbase. See you guys later." With that, she headed out the door.
"…Boy, does she have issues." Patton said.
"Yep. So, are your nails really-"
"NO!"
Rachel only gave him a disbelieving look.
"…Yes."
Downtown Cleveland
Paddy and Shaunie looked at the paper as they walked down the city until they made it to some white pumpkin carriage. "Well, this is the place." Paddy said. The two slowly approached the carriage and entered, walking up to the desk with a rotatable chair on the other side. The room seemed to be littered with magical items and shelves of rolled-up paper.
"Ah, my dear friends. Welcome…" The two slowly approached the desk as they watched the arm of someone petting something on the turned tall chair, "…to the magical fantastical realm of…" The chair turned to reveal a short elf man with red hair, big long ears, and wearing a white suit petting a white goose. "R-R-R-R-RUMPEL STILTSKIN! Maker of deals, potions, etc.! I make ALL your dreams come true! So… what can I do for you boys?" He gave a creepy smile.
The two exchanged glances and Paddy said, "Well, Mr. Stiltskin… it's about our sister, Fanny. She's…"
"SHE'S A REAL JERK! She makes us do her chores and she's always beating us up for no reason!" Shaunie yelled.
"Yeah! You wouldn't happen to have anything that could, I don't know… teach her a lesson? Something to make her be nice to us?"
"Mmm…" Rumpel tapped his chin and squinted in thought. "The old mean older sibling type deal, eh? Sounds like YOU need to show her what it's like being the weak one! Thankfully, I have a once-in-a-lifetime…" he started, reaching under his desk. "SHRINKING POTION!" He held up a bottle of green potion.
They exchanged another glance. "What does it do?" Shaunie asked.
"Simple! Whoever drinks it will shrink down to the size of a mouse! This'll be enough to teach Little Ms. Anger Pants a lesson, won't it?"
The two brothers turned around and began discussing. "Well, it's not a bad idea." Paddy whispered.
"I don't know, Paddy. I mean, wouldn't it be kind of mean?"
"So? She's been mean to us all these years, so this is the perfect way to get her back!"
"Well… okay."
"Good!" With that, they turned back around and approached the desk. "We'd like to buy it!"
"Good!" Rumpel got one of the papers off the shelves, laid it flat on the desk, plucked a feather from his goose, dipped it in some golden ink, and slid the contract over to the boys. "Now: just sign this contract using my magical golden ink, then give Fanny the potion. She'll shrink to mouse size, and the only way for her to get back to normal will be to show how much she cares about you! Sounds good, right?"
"Yeah!" Paddy agreed.
"Great! Then sign the dotted line. Just sign the dotted line and all your troubles will be gone." The two smiled as they took the feather pen and signed their names on the contract. As they did so, Rumpel smirked and crossed his fingers, grinning evilly. Finally, they finished signing and handed the paper back.
"Perfect! Now, I'll just need a few strands of your hair…"
"OW!" They yelped when Rumpel plucked a few strands from their hair. He opened the bottle, held the hair over and grinded it into little pieces, which fell into the potion. He then closed the bottle and handed the shrinking potion to Paddy and Shaunie, who gave disgusted looks.
"Now, for Fanny to get back to normal, she'll have to show her kindness to you and vice versa! Only when she proves her love for you will she return to her normal height. Oh, and the potion also won't take effect until sunlight shines upon the drinker, so you'll be able to give it to her without her knowing a lot easier. SO, good luck and enjoy your potion!"
"Okay, see ya!" Paddy waved.
"Thanks, Mr. Stiltskin!" Shaunie cheered as they ran out the door.
"Anytime, boys! Helping people's all I do!" As soon as they left, the elf laughed maniacally as he pulled out a cellphone and dialed a number. "Hello, Sartana? It's me, Rumpel! You know that giant rampaging monster you always wanted, but never got?" There was talking on the other end and Rumpel's smile died down. "Whuh? Oh, you DID get a giant monster… and it got beat. Well, do you at least wanna come down and see mine? …Oh, alright, alright. You're busy stealing an artifact. I'll…I'll just call you later." He hung up and dialed another number. "Hello? Hey, hey, Grunty! It's the Rump Man! Listen, you wanna come down to Virginia and watch a giant monster destroy a city?" His smile died down again. "What? No? What the hell is with you witches?! You don't get this type of entertainment every day! Alright, y-you know what? FINE! I'll watch the show myself, and when the city's in ruins, you'll regret not coming down!" With that, he hung up. "Ugh! Someone bake me some cookies."
Fulbright Household; that night
"So, Mr. P tells me we don't have anymore pens." Mr. Boss told his family as they were having dinner. "And I say to him 'Just use the crayons from the girls' playroom.' And he says 'But the girls are using them ,Sir.' And I say 'WHO CARES?'" With that, he, Mrs. Fulbright, and Paddy and Shaunie began laughing.
"Real hilarious, Dad." Fanny said sarcastically as she poked her peas with her fork.
While they laughed, Paddy and Shaunie looked to the shrinking potion in Paddy's hands, hidden under the table. "How do we get her to drink it?" Shaunie whispered.
"I'll try and dip a drop into her milk when she isn't looking." Paddy whispered.
"So, what'd you kids do today?" Mr. Boss asked.
"Well, I got a black eye because TWO CERTAIN IDIOTS were building a racetrack in the living room!"
"Well, why don't you learn to knock before entering someone's house?" Paddy shot back.
"IT'S MY HOUSE, TOO, YA-"
"Alright, kids, calm down." Mr. Boss said. "Let's just enjoy our dinner."
"I'd like to enjoy getting adopted by another family. Preferably with NO BROTHERS!" Fanny yelled.
Paddy and Shaunie exchanged glances and nodded. "Ahem: AAAHHH! MOM! DAD! FANNY! THERE'S A DANGEROUS KILLER OUTSIDE!" Shaunie screamed, pointing to the window, getting the three to turn and look outside.
Paddy then opened the bottle and reached over the table to try and poor the potion into Fanny's milk glass, which was difficult considering Paddy's short height.
"I don't see anything, ya idiots!" Fanny yelled, turning back around. Paddy immediately retreated back to his seat before she noticed.
"Oops! Must've just been a tree branch!" Shaunie lied.
"Typical boys." Fanny said, drinking her clean, potionless milk.
"What now?" Shaunie asked.
"We'll just dip it in her while she's asleep."
"Well, anyway," Mrs. Fulbright began, "your father and I are going away on a little cruise for the weekend, so Fanny, you're in charge!" At this, Paddy and Shaunie spat out their drinks.
"Oh, how wonderful!" Fanny exclaimed with sarcasm.
"It's sort of a little villains' cruise." Mr. Boss said. "Sometimes, being evil can be so stressful. Lately, we've all been getting these weird emails from some guy called 'Darth Genious' wanting us to join his club. We keep trying to tell him off, but he just keeps coming back. Boy, sometimes I wonder why they make it so easy to have email."
"We'll be gone by mornin', so be nice to your older sister!" Mrs. Fulbright said to her boys.
"Why don't you tell her to be nice to us!" Paddy exclaimed.
"Just better not pull any pranks if ya still want your organs right-side-in!" Fanny threatened.
"This isn't fair!" Shaunie whined, folding his arms.
"Don't worry! As soon as we give her this potion, we'll be the ones in charge!" Paddy whispered.
Fanny put her fork down and yawned. "I'm finished, Dad. Can I be excused? I'm tired."
"I would be, too, if I was angry all the time." Paddy said.
"WHY YA-"
"That's enough, you two." Mr. Boss said. "Alright, Fanny, you're excused. Good night."
"Don't forget ta brush, little Fanny Pants!" Mrs. Fulbright said.
"Whatevah." With that, she grumpily walked out of the room.
"Now she definitely needs this potion." Paddy whispered to Shaunie, who nodded.
The Underworld
A monster bus drove to a bus stop, where four people were waiting. When the bus stopped and opened its doors for them, the skeleton driver asked, "And where will you be headed?"
"Oh, how about… NOT HERE!" The driver gasped as Dimentia and her Magiblots dashed into the bus, beat up the driver and the passengers, and threw them off. "You're officially relieved of your duties!" the wrinkled old leader exclaimed. "Next stop: Sweet Vengeance!" And as the bus's destination read 'Sweet Vengeance,' the four Zathurians drove off.
"Uh, why are we going to Stickybeard's ship?" Blue asked.
"That's the Sweet Revenge, you fool!" Yellow shouted.
"We're not looking for the ship, we're getting the heck out of this Hell!" Dimentia replied.
"But how?" Red asked.
"The same way Nigel and his friends got here earlier! Through the gateway!" After driving the bus to the outskirts of town, they noticed the glowing green portal and parked the bus. "Finally! I am OUT OF HERE!" With that, they dashed off the bus and into the portal.
Delightful Mansion
Benedict Uno slept peacefully on his throne, talking in his sleep. He snored in. "Mmm, Rocky Road." Another snore. "B-Broccoli."
As he slept, the Gateway Guardian's mouth opened behind him and Dimentia slowly reached a hand out and gripped the floor, pulling her old self out, followed by the Magiblots.
"Mmm, not broccoli!" The four quietly snuck past the snoring villain. "D-Don't make me eat the ugly broccoli! Please, Daddy!" Dimentia rolled her eyes and shook her head as they snuck by. "No! Don't give the mansion to my kids, Natsume! No-o-o-o!" He remained snoring away as the aliens headed outside.
Virginian Forest
Soon, Dimentia and her Magiblots were long gone, outside and walking through a forest. "Yes! Free at last, ah ha ha ha ha! Free at laaast!"
"At least we ain't smelling rotting zombie." Blue said.
"What do we do now?" Yellow asked.
Dimentia just panted as she limped over to a clean, clear river, staring sadly at her grotesque ancient form. "UH, MY FACE!" She broke down into tears. "MY GLORIOUS YOUTH!" The three henchmen exchanged disbelieving glances as she cried.
She kept crying until, "Awe. Look what the great galactic empress has come to." She looked up to see none other than Clockwork. "The immortal life really is painful, isn't it?" he smirked.
"YOU!" Dimentia tried to throw lightning at the ghost, but nothing came from her hands.
"Seems like time has finally taken its toll on you."
"RAAAAH!" Dimentia lunged at him.
"Time Out!" Clockwork waved his staff and froze Dimentia in time. A clock then appeared in front of him, to which he began turning backwards. As he turned it even faster, Dimentia's wrinkles began to vanish and her 10-year-old youth was restored in seconds. "Time In!" He snapped his fingers and Dimentia was unfrozen, feeling her restored body.
"Whuh…What?"
"Now, don't tell me you still think we're evil?"
Fulbright Household
It was around midnight now and Fanny Fulbright was sound asleep in her room, cuddling with her dark-green Rainbow Monkey. Her door slowly creaked open and Paddy and Shaunie quietly tip-toed in, Paddy holding the potion.
They reached their older sister's bed and watched her sleeping form as Paddy opened the bottle. "This'll give her a taste of her own medicine!" Paddy whispered.
"I don't know, Paddy. I mean, it just feels mean doing this to our sister. We'd be no different than her."
"Well, that's perfect! If we want her to stop bullying us, she'll have to know how it feels to be the little sibling!"
"But-"
"And besides, it's not like she can beat us up 'cause she'll be only a few inches tall! Do you wanna live with torn clothes and bruises the rest of your childhood?"
"Uh…no."
"Me neither! So, let's do this!"
"Okay." With that, Shaunie closed his eyes and crossed his fingers as Paddy carefully dipped a drop of the potion onto his sister's tongue while she snored. They ducked down as Fanny smacked and licked her lips, rolling over.
They slowly stood back up to see her still asleep. "Phew!"
"So, what now?" Shaunie asked.
"Rumpel said the potion'll take effect when sunlight shines on her. I guess we just wait until morning."
Shaunie yawned. "Good. I'm tired."
Paddy yawned, too. "Yeah, let's get some sleep. Then we'll get up and play with our new little sister!" With that, the two brothers snuck out of the room and closed the door.
The next morning…
It was now 11:00 in the morning. Mr. and Mrs. Fulbright left for their vacation and the Fulbright kids were still asleep. Fanny shook around until finally yawning and waking up. "Boy, I don't think I slept that well in years!" She then got out of bed, threw off her night gown, and put on her usual green shirt, orange skirt, and brown boots.
Afterwards, she opened her window curtain, as well as the window, and breathed in the fresh air as the sun shined upon her. "You know, I was pretty mad yesterday, but now I actually have a good feeling about-" Before she could finish, she felt a rumbling in her stomach and gripped it. "Oooh…Now I don't feel so good." She felt more rumbling as she felt a strange sensation in her body. "Huh? Wh-What's happening? Whuh-"
Paddy and Shaunie were sharing Paddy's room, still sound asleep with the potion on the nightstand. "WAH!" They were immediately startled awake by some sort of earthquake, gripping each other as the whole area shook tremendously. After a few seconds, the quaking stopped. "…WHAT WAS THAT?!" Shaunie yelled.
"I don't know! Let's get outside!" With that, Paddy grabbed the potion, stuffed it in his pocket, and threw on some socks and shoes, while Shaunie remained barefoot, as the two hurried outside, still in their pajamas.
"You see anything?" Shaunie asked, looking around outside.
"No. I think it was—GYAAAAAH!" At Paddy's scream, Shaunie turned around and looked in total terror: a gigantic Fanny Fulbright lay fallen on the ground by a broken chunk of the house. The giant Fanny shook her head, standing back up as she opened her eyes, gasping at her new height. Her feet were big as houses and she stood as tall as a KND treehouse.
"HUH? Whuh? What the-" Fanny was at a loss for words as she looked around her surroundings, which, to her view, was the now shrunken neighborhood.
As the two little brothers stared horrified at her, they were approached by Numbuh 363. "Hey, Paddy! There's a butt-busting competition down at the park! Wanna come and-" He stopped and noticed the giant Fanny, giving a terrified look as well. "G-G-G-GIANT FANNY! AAAAAHHHHHHH!" The Sector W leader cowered and ran away.
"Fanny! What happened?!" Shaunie yelled.
"WHAT DO YA THINK HAPPENED?! I GREW 50 FEET TALL, YA IDIOTS!"
"But I don't understand!" Paddy shouted. "The potion was supposed to make you smaller, not bigger!"
"Potion?" Fanny looked curious and angry. "WHAT POTION?!"
"OH! Uh, well, ya see-" Paddy tried to say.
"IT WAS HIS IDEA, FANNY!" Shaunie screamed, pointing at Paddy. "I tried to talk him out of it! HONEST! I told him it was wrong, but he didn't listen!"
"HEY! YOU WANTED IT, TOO!"
"Grrrrr!" They turned back to their sister, who looked more angry than ever. "You better tell me what happened BEFORE I RIP YOUR HEADS OFF!"
"AAAAHHHH!" The brothers screamed as they ran down the street with their giant sister on their tail, her massive feet making the ground quake with each step as several homes, cars, and trashcans were flattened beneath them.
Gallagher Playground
"YEOW!" Virginia yelped, gripping her butt in pain after landing hard on the cracked cement. The referee took his measuring tape and measured the length of the crack.
"17 INCHES!"
"OH YEAH! VIRGINIA'S THE BUTT-BUSTING QUEEN!" she declared as the audience cheered. Afterwards, she walked over to Sector V, Rachel, Patton, Eva, Kade, Violet, Bartie, Sonya, and Lee.
"Wow, Virginia! How'd you get so good?" Bartie asked.
"When you're as skinny as me, hard abs are a fortune!"
"In that case, I'm a shoe in!" Eva said.
"EVA ROBERTS! YOU'RE UP!"
"Step aside, guys, and watch how the princess handles things!" With that, she went off to do the challenge.
"This should be fun to see." Violet remarked.
"SIS! SIS!" Harvey came zipping up in a panic. "THERESASABASIBA! MONSASABABISA! FANNYSAZIBIZABI! MONSAZABAZIBI! AAAAHHHHH!" he spoke gibberish, pointing frantically in the direction he came from.
"CALM DOWN, HARVEY!" Rachel yelled, shaking her brother. "Now, tell me what's wrong!"
"Yeah. You look like Malladus came back from the dead or something." Sonya said.
"AAAHHHH!" They looked to see Paddy and Shaunie run up and hide behind Hoagie and Wally.
"…Well, that's weird." Rachel said, giving a confused look.
"Yeah." Nigel replied. "What's got them so—WAAAAAH!" They all gasped when the gargantuan-sized Fanny stomped over and stood high and tall over the playground, quaking the ground at every step.
"WHERE ARE THEY?!"
"FANNY'S A GIANT!" a boy yelled. "OUR WORST FEARS HAVE BEEN REALIZED!"
"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" With that, the many children screamed and retreated from the park, leaving only operatives. Kade cowered behind Eva while Bartie hid behind Virginia.
Everyone else just gaped at the sight. "Hey, Numbuh 86!" Kuki greeted, waving happily. "You look different today! Did you do something with your hair?"
"DUDE!" Virginia yelled. "FANNY GOT HUGE!"
"Hmm…." Kuki just squinted hard at her. "Are you SURE it isn't the hair?"
"FORGET ABOUT THE HAIR! I'M A KAJILLION FEET TALL!"
"FANNY! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!" Rachel yelled.
"YEAH! You're bigger than freaking Malladus!" Patton yelled.
"Why don't ya ask the two POTION BOYS? WHERE ARE THEY?!"
"Right here!" Hoagie said as he and Wally stepped out of the way with fearful expressions, revealing the two brothers.
"AHH!" The two tried to run, but Fanny reached her right hand down and grabbed them, holding them close to her face.
"Now, TELL ME WHAT YA DID!"
"Uh, c-come on, Fanny!" Paddy pleaded. "Can't we just sit down and-"
"TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE I DECIDE TO EAT YA!"
"AHH! Me and Shaunie were sick of you being mean to us, so we bought a shrink potion from a magic elf downtown to make you smaller, but it looks like it made you bigger!" After Paddy's rushed explanation, the two held their hands up in defense, expecting the worst.
"…YA WERE GOING TA SHRINK ME?!"
"At least then, her fanny wouldn't look so big." Patton whispered to Rachel.
"Ugh, that's it!" Fanny said, dropping her brothers on the ground. The two looked up and gasped as Fanny held her massive foot over them. "I'M GONNA SQUISH YA LIKE BUGS!"
"NO! FANNY! PLEASE!"
"STOP IT, FANNY!" Rachel ordered, making the giant freeze in place as she stepped under Fanny's boot, blocking Paddy and Shaunie. "As Supreme Leader, I ORDER you to NOT hurt your brothers in any way!"
"But they-"
"NO CRUSHING!"
Fanny sighed and stomped her foot back down, making another quake as Nigel and Eva approached the brothers. "Now, what's this about a potion?" Nigel asked.
"Oh, uh, we have it right here." Paddy said, holding up the potion, which Eva took and studied.
"'Shrink Potion...'" she read the label aloud. She then noticed a piece of tape below the label and pulled it off, then read the concealed part, "'…which is really a growth potion and the misleading label is just another fine trick brought to you by Rumpel Stiltskin's Magical Deals.'" She gave a disbelieving look at the next part. "'Oh yeah! I rule!'"
"RUMPEL STILTSKIN?" Fanny repeated. "WHO THE HECK IS THAT?!"
Before they could answer, a bright purple freaky car drove up, and the witch-doctor, Dr. Facilier stepped out. "HOLY POLY, TAKE THE CONOLI! I left something at mah sister's house and—what the heck HAPPENED to ya?!"
"These two happened!" Fanny shouted, pointing to Paddy and Shaunie. "They made me drink some growth potion they bought from some elf called 'Rumpel Stiltskin'!"
"WHAT?!" Facilier yelled, running up to the two boys. Y'all made a deal with Rumpel Stiltskin? Y'all should NEVER make a deal with Rumpel Stiltskin! He's a BAD elf, man! BAAAD!"
"You know him, Uncle Facilier?" Abby asked.
"Boy, do I evah! Where is that no good jerk? I wanna give him a PIECE OF MAH MIND!"
"Uh, he's downtown. In some sort of white pumpkin carriage." Paddy answered.
Facilier immediately dashed into his car and took off at high speed. Fanny grabbed her brothers and followed him, the others trying to keep up.
Downtown Cleveland
Rumpel sat at an outdoor café, smiling as he drank a cup of tea with his goose on his lap. He felt a shadow loom over him and opened his eyes to see the angry Shadow Man. "Well, if it isn't my old friend, Harvey. How are things with that voodoo of yours?"
"Man, Ah know what you did, Rumpel, you no good Slytherin!" Facilier shouted.
"You're gonna have to be more specific, Harvey." Rumpel replied, putting his cup on the table.
At that instant, the ground began quaking, and several townspeople began screaming and running. Rumpel looked to see the giant Fanny stomping over, stopping and glaring at the elf with Paddy and Shaunie in her hand. The others soon made it as well. "…Oh, hey, it's you guys!" Rumpel said to the two boys. "Is this your sister? Boy, does she look nice. Hey, Fanny, did you do something with your hair? It looks REALLY pretty!"
"YOU SOLD THEM A POTION THAT MADE ME A GIANT!"
"Actually, Fanny," Kade spoke up, "since you're a girl, the term is 'giantess.'"
"I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR A LECTURE RIGHT NOW, KADE!"
"Oops! Did I get the potions mixed up again?" Rumpel asked with an innocent, sarcastic smile. "Let's see…" He searched under the table and pulled out a pink potion bottle. "Ah, here it is! See? The REAL shrink potion! Only 'Growth Potion' is labeled on it because, well, I get them mixed up! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
Facilier grabbed the elf by the shirt collar and held him to his face. "Well, you better fix this little mess right now!"
"I CAN'T!" he shouted, smacking Facilier's hands off. "Alright? We had a deal." He hopped off the table and walked over to the others, holding up the contract. "The potion will only wear off after the drinker shows kindness to the ones who signed the contract and vice versa." Rachel came over and snatched the contract, then began skimming it.
Nigel and Violet peeked over her shoulders to read it. "Yep. It's true." Rachel said. "Fanny won't get back to normal until she shows how much she loves her brothers."
"SHOW HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM?! WHY WOULD I DO THAT?!"
"Sorry. That's the deal. Live with it!" Rumpel said.
"Hm… Numbuh 2, don't you have a shrink ray in your treehouse?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah? So?"
"SO? USE IT TO GET ME BACK TO NORMAL!" Fanny demanded.
"I can't, Numbuh 86! First of all, my shrink ray's stuck to the treehouse, and it'll be crushed before you even TRY to squeeze yourself in there! Second, my shrink ray's limited, so you'll grow back to Fanzilla in a few minutes."
"Can't she just drink the shrink potion?" Violet asked.
"Nope. The only way for her to get back to normal will be to show her kindness to her brothers." Rumpel replied. "My magic deals are more powerful than any technology or counter-magic."
"Well, you heard him, Fanny." Patton said. "Better start showin' that love."
"NO!" Fanny yelled, throwing her brothers to the ground again. "After what they did, there is no WAY I am showing ANY sort of kindness ta THEM!"
"Well, Fanny, you have no one to blame but yourself!" Rachel shot back. "I'm sorry, but it was YOUR anger problems that caused them to do this, so only YOU can get yourself out of this!"
"FORGET IT! I am NEVER bein' nice ta them! I'd sooner wait for another cure!"
"WELL, TOO BAD!" Rumpel shouted. "How many times do I have to say it? No love, no cure! DEAL WITH IT!" With that, he walked over to Eva, who was holding the growth potion. "And listen, be thankful the potion made your clothes grow, too." he said, snatching the potion. "I could've made them rip apart and expose your giant naked body to all the perverts. There are some WEIRDOS out there, ya know." Rumpel faced the reader and pointed, "I'm talking to YOU, YOU DESPICABLE PERSON!"
But he was really pointing to Kade. "Me?"
"Oh, no you don't." Rachel stated, taking the growth potion. "This potion's staying with me. I wanna make sure you don't pull any tricks."
"Okay, sheesh! Just wanna have a little fun."
"I got my eye on you, Rumpel!" Facilier said as he and Shadow looked closely at the elf.
"And what big eyes you have, Harvey!" Rumpel smiled lovingly.
"Being a giant isn't all bad!" Sonya said, happily. "There's all sorts of good deeds you could do!"
"You know, if I were that big, I'd just sit back, relax, look pretty, and mess with the boys' dirty little minds." Eva smirked.
"I'd love to see that!" Kade exclaimed.
"Look, I just want this whole thing to blow over quickly." Fanny said.
Rachel sighed. "Alright, Fanny, we'll try and find a way to get you back to normal faster. Meanwhile, you should go to the forest, so you won't alarm the townspeople."
"It's pointless." Rumpel said. "Only the family love will break the spell."
"Whatever. I'll see you guys later." With that, the giant girl shook the ground as she walked out of the city and toward the forest hills.
"…Well, she's taking this well." Patton said.
"I feel kinda bad." Paddy said.
"I told you." Shaunie replied.
"That's so cool!" Harvey exclaimed. "I wanna be giant! C'mon, Sis, give me that potion!"
"No, Harvey! No one drinks the potion until we're sure what we're dealing with. Let's just go and… figure something out."
Harvey grumbled. "Fine." With that, Rumpel watched as the group walked off.
The elf smirked as he went back to his tea. "Making deals and having fun. That's what I do! But the REAL fun has YET to start! AH HA HA HA HA!"
Rumpel is from Shrek Forever After, Clockwork is from Danny Phantom, and as you noticed, the story isn't just focusing on Fanny and all that. It'll also have a few scenes involving Dimentia and other characters. By the way, Dimentia is wearing her black and white striped clothes from the boss fight 'cause those were the ones she died in. Well, later!
