Note: Very first story. I don't own anything except Marie(My OC)
It was a warm day in spring in San Antonio, Texas. In a community collage named Northwest Vista, a community collage for all there was a student their name Ariel Bandera. She had brown medium length hair, brown eyes, though she always had glasses on, and was mostly a girly/tom-boy. She only wears dresses on RARE occasions. She got her name from a baby book but she was always teased because her name was the same as a Disney Princess named Ariel known as the 'Little Mermaid'. So at school, she would sometimes be called Marie to end confusion since more Ariels are popping up.
Marie was doing her homework lone on the steps near the collage lake. She was almost always alone and her friends growing up would be off of movies mostly likely from the Disney movies she watched when she was small known as imaginary friends. She would also dream of going back to California so she can go to Disneyland again. To her, going there every summer was almost a family tradition. Her parents were married back in 1989, the year of the mermaid, and they went to Disneyworld for their honeymoon before a psycho worker let fire to the place at the studios. Marie was born back in 1991, the year that Beauty and the Beast, was released. What's funny is that her and her parents weren't the only ones that had a Disney tradition. She has cousins in Texas and California that has anything Disney related. One has a house with nothing but Disney, another family as nearly all the tapes, and another almost always make Mickey Christmas cookies during the Holidays. But the starting point of the Disney traditions was when her grandparents from both sides of the family. Around the time of 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves', here grandparents were getting used the world either young or old, but somehow, at least in Marie's opinion, the happiness started with them.
Anyway, Marie was doing her homework, when she got board and put her books aside to look at the lake. Though it was mucky water she could easily see her reflection. Lately all she has been doing was dreaming. On the weekends she would put on an old VHS tape and watch the movie in her room and wish to go to their world.
She sigh as she look at her relation and said, "I wish I had an adventure like in my Disney tapes. I want to feel important, and a hero in some way. I don't want to spend my life feeling like wallpaper, especially during the family reunions. I just want to feel special."
She looked at her watch and saw that it was time to go home. As she stood up, her reflection stayed put. As she left, it changed into a character. It was the Hatbox ghost from 'Haunted Mansion', before they replaced him with the ghost brides and just became the 'Ghost Host'. "She's the one." He said.
Turns out he was looking though a magic mirror, almost identical to the Magic Mirror from Snow White. He left his room, which was in a tower in a white bright kingdom. But it wasn't in Disneyland. This kingdom was hidden way in a world almost like the one from Kingdom Hearts video games. He entered the throne-room, which was ruled by 2 kings. One was King Mickey with his Queen, Minnie, and the other king was the first character Walt ever drew. His name is Oswald, the lucky rabbit, or in his kingdom, King Oswald with his Queen, Ortencia. Also in the throne room is Duke Donald and Duchess Daisy, and Count Goofy, his brother Count Boris, and Countess Mirabelle.
The Hatbox went to them and bowed in front of the kings. "Sires, I found her, the chosen one that can save us."
Mickey asked, "Are you sure? We've been waiting for a long time for her to appear."
Oswald said, "The last one come during the wars, how can we be sure she came back again?"
The Hatbox Ghost said, "I can tell. I can feel power flowing from her. She has to be. She's our only chance to save our home from the All Evil."
Mickey sighs and turned to a chest near a stain class window. He walked to it and put his hand on the lid and closed his eye. King Oswald asked, "What should we do brother?"
Mickey thought of the last of what his creature used to say all the time. "Keep movie forward." He turned to the Hatbox ghost. "Bring her here. It is time."
The Hatbox ghost bowed his head and left them. Minnie asked, "Are you sure?"
Mickey said, "We have no choice. My only worry is can she take it?" He turns to the other stain glass windows and saw they didn't have any patterns. "The chosen one has always fought against evil and after it's mission it enters into another host. If this girl is the chosen one, maybe she can stop the All Evil for good. She may also…" He turned to the windows, "Summon the other guardians." The other royals did the same and looked at the windows.
The next day, Marie had finished her finals and went to the lake again. She sat down in the steps, put her elbows on her knees, her head in her hands, and looked at her reflection again. She then got a stick that was next to her and put it in the lake and started to distort her reflection. Then some how was taken from her hand like someone grabbed. Marie brought her hand back.
'There can't be fishes down there." She lean forwards a bit more to the point almost too close. Then something happened that made her turn white. Her reflection smiled and waved at her. "What the…" then her reflection transformed into the Hatbox Ghost and grabbed her.
She hit the water face first but didn't feel wet, instead she was floating and she could breath easily. She opened her eyes and saw a dark blue space like sky. Then she was placed in a doom-buggy. The same kind from the Haunted Mansion ride. As she sat down and the safety bar was on her lap, she heard a ghost but not from the speakers.
"Sorry about that. It was either that or from the mirror from your bathroom, but then again it's been used before in other movies." She looked around to see where the voice was coming from but couldn't. "Up here." It said.
She looked up and saw the Hatbox Ghost looking down on her upside down. He was sitting on top of the buggy. "I am your host, your Ghost host if you please."
Marie couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Y-you're the Hatbox ghost from the ride before the brides."
The Hatbox floated in front of her, took off his hat, with his head attached to it and bowed like a gentleman. "That's right. Marie. I USED to be part of the 'ride' but I was just reduced to a narrator instead. That and I'm the royal magician and world traveler to King Mickey and King Oswald."
He put his hat and head back on his body. "I'm must be loosing it from finals." Said Marie. "This can't be real. You're just a robot left over from the ride. I've never even seen you before unless it was on fan art."
The Hatbox ghost sat on the rail. "Oh I quite real Ariel. As real as you."
Marie asked, "How did you know my name?"
The Hatbox ghost said, "All will be revealed in time. But first." He digs into his pocket and pulled out a key. It had a Mickey symbol on it. "How are you with roller-coasters?"
Marie turned what with fear again. "You wouldn't." she said.
He put the key in the keyhole next to her legs. "I would." He turned the key and the buggy went up into a hill like motion.
Marie started to panic. "Please stop! I'm sorry I said I didn't believe! Please stop!"
The Hotbox Ghost got right back on the roof and put his goggles down. "Too late."
Then the buggy went down fast and Marie was screaming her head off while the Hatbox ghost was laughing like the Joker and enjoying himself. "I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS FOR THIS GHOST AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Up and down, left and right, upside down in all direction. It was no fun what so over. "YOU SON OF A BITCH I'LL KILL YOU!" Hatbox just ignore it and continue laughing and had his hands in the air.
After a while, passed nearly al the stars, the buggy went straight but still fast and it entered into some clouds. The buggy, with Marie inside it turned to the right but was still moving forward and soon the castle was in view. Marie soon forgotten about her fears and was in awe of how beautiful and how big the castle was. "Wow." The Hatbox looked down and smiled.
Soon the buggy stopped right in front of the steps and the Hatbox ghost got down and lower the safety bar. Now that was fun wasn't it?" He asked.
Marie stumbled out of the buggy and when she tried to stand up her knees buckled, and went to the ground. She kneeled down as her head was spinning. "Its just whiplash. It'll go away soon. Just breath."
Marie did that and closed her eyes as she held her head. "This is worst then the whiplash from the Aerosmith rollercoaster back in Florida."
The Hatbox ghost said, "So you have been on one before."
Mari sat up straight but immediately regretted it and lay on her back looking up. "Only on the small ones in California Adventure and Knott's Berry Farm. Not on the ones you put me thought just now."
He laughed at her. "You have to get used it. Can you're going to go through it at least 13 or 14 times."
Marie groans. "Then you better have barf bags cause I'm not paying for a clean up crew if there's a mess."
Once whiplash went away, she sat up. She looked up and saw how tall the castle was. "Even bigger then the one back home."
The ghost smiled. "Wait until you see inside."
He guided her inside the castle and as they walked she saw stained windows depicting some of the Disney movies or series from the past. "Oh my goodness." There was a golden retriever from 'Old Yeller', the 3 witches from Hocus Pocus, and even Dark Winged Duck. "
This is amazing." She said.
"I'm glad you like the windows but not all of them are completed." She looked at him confused. "You'll see soon."
As they walked Marie even saw the broom-men from Fantasia. Marie couldn't help but smile and giggled. "The broom-men. Now I've seen everything."
They arrived at the throne room and when the doors opened, Marie saw the royals and in their royal clothes. "Oh my..." King Mickey turned her head and saw her. "Welcome to the castle Marie." He bowed to her.
Marie said, "You're Mickey Mouse." Then she turned to the others. "And Minnie, Oswald, Orencia, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Boris, and Mirabelle." Then she heard barking and was soon on the floor with Pluto on top of her licking her face. She laugh. "And Pluto." She pets him as he got off and she got up. "So this isn't a dream. But how did you know my name?"
Queen Minnie said, "We've have been watching over you since you were a little girl. We watch over all the children that enters in Disney's parks. We even picked out some of our favorites."
Donald said, "Sometimes we see kids through mirrors, statues, or the eyes of the robots depending on the ride."
Goofy said, "Almost every year you and your parents showed up at the park and almost went on your favorites twice."
Duke Daisy said, "Somehow you give us hope that there is still happiness in kids."
King Mickey said, "But now we need your help. I didn't noticed it before but something evil is afoot and we need your help."
Marie asked, "But why now? You could've gotten me when I was small."
Then King Oswald went to 2 curtains and said, "That's because you weren't ready for this enemy." He pulled one of them back and it showed a white window but it has 2 evil yellow eyes and on the bottom of the window was a burning town.
King Mickey said, "Since the beginning of time there was been evil in everyone's hearts. Up to a point where it caused great damage. The plague, the Spanish Inquisition, wars, and nearly every evil man in history was being controlled by this thing we called All Evil. This 'demon' nearly killed all of nature, man-kind and almost the world." Then he walked to the other window-covered curtain and said, "But where this is evil there is always good." He opened the curtain and it showed a white angel with wings. There was no specifics about what this angel looked like but on the bottom of the window there was people. One was white pilgrim, an Oriental woman, a man with a head wrap like he's from India, and another in African clothing all kneeling and praying to her. "When ever the All Evil attacked this figure would come and stop the demon. Though sadly we have no name for her, but depending on where you are from you might know her other names."
Marie walked up to the window and in her eyes, the angel formed into a lady, with a crown and a blue robe from her head to her toes. "The Holy Mother."
Queen Ortenicia said, "That's one of her chosen ones."
Marie turned to her. "What do you mean?"
Mirabelle said, "Everyone so often, the light would enter a chosen one or more, to stop the All Evils minions of the world in order to bring peace. Try to see another chosen one the Light as chosen."
Marie looked at the window again and this time it turned into a man. "Roosevelt from WW2. But he dropped the bomb."
Count Boris said, "But he stopped the war from continuing. If he didn't then you or me and anyone would be alive to day. Even Light had to make some tuff choices."
Marie said, "Then I'm guessing one of the All Evil's minions was Hitler right?" She walked to the other window and instead of eye and saw the red Nazi sign. "Yup. He was." Said Mari. She turned to the royals. "But why me?"
King Mickey walked up to her and said, "He's back and taken out home. He's luring kids to what was once Disneyland and using them to spread evil again. But how he came back is still a mystery." He took her hand and walked to the chest from before. "At the end of the last battle with the All Evil and Light, Light was too weak to make sure she could fight against him again. Her powers has been broken into different jewels. We need your help to find the 13 chosen ones, the chosen heroines, and to find the next Light being." He opened the chest and saw many different jewels. 13 were on different color pillows, 13 on little crown pillows, and one in the middle in a small glass case. "Beautiful."
King Mickey opened the glass case. That jewel is Marie's birthstone, aquamarine. He gave it to Marie. She got it in her hand and it started to glow. "Think of the best hero you can think up. The jewel will sense it and it'll be the new you."
Marie closed her hand and closed her eyes and wished really hard. Then she started to glow and her clothes started to change. Her clothes changed into a white sailor leotard outfit with a white skirt, a white bow on her head, white choker around her neck with a crescent moon on it, white cloves that goes up to her elbows, white boots up to her knees and instead of glasses it was a winged mask. Her jewel turned into a broached that was on a bow in the front. That broached was light blue with a star and different color circles in the start. She opened her eyes and saw what happened. "I look like my sailor scout recolor." She looked at her hands, her feet, and her new clothes and felt her glasses/mask.
King Oswald said, "You are now a scout and need to find all the other sailor scouts. You are Sailor Light."
Marie said, "I'm confused. Disney didn't make Sailor Scouts."
King Mickey smiled and said, "Well he did but let's just say that what you see and heard on who made what is all a 'cover up'. You are a chosen scout and we need you to find the other scouts. We believe the scouts are the princesses that are alive and around. You need to find them and awaken their royal element from Light. The others will appear in time."
Marie said, "Me a Sailor Scout." She smiled. "This is amazing. It's one of my dreams." She looked at the jewels and looked at the Royals. "I accept." The royals smiled. "I'll find the other scouts, find the new chosen Light and stop the All Evil."
Queen Minnie said, "Wonderful." Then she handed the Hatbox ghost a find of keys. "Use these to go from one world to another. Once the scout is found, she will go with you to the other worlds to find the others."
The Hatbox ghost said, "Thus a longer rollercoaster."
Marie groans a bit. "Yippee." She mumbled. Her scout clothes were soon back into her regular clothes and her broached turned unto a locket. Both Marie and Hatbox turned to the Royals. "We won't let you down." They said. They bowed to them and left.
Hatbox asked, "Are you sure you are up for the challenge?"
Marie smirked at him. "You're looking at a 23 year old that watches all the movies multiple times during her lifetime. What they can through, I can take."
They were outside again. "We shall see." He said.
