A/N: Ahh, finally another Gummi Bears story. It turns out, it'll be a multi-parter, it's pretty short much like the Gummi Bears eps that are 10 or so minutes long. I got some scenes from an old animated version of "Black Beauty", an ep. of "Krypto the Superdog", a "Simpsons" Halloween ep. and "The Wizard of Oz", also the ingredients were inspired by the spell from "Into the Woods". The cards are from the Wizardology book, also has the book itself. Disclaimer: The show "Gummi Bears" belongs to Disney and the dragon, Guinevier belongs to Manhattan Toy. While Daphne, the Gypsies & the fairy tale characters belong to me. Whew! Well, enough of this crap, enjoy!
Fairy Tale Journey.
Part 1
Today is a gypsy festival at Dunwyn, and everyone's attending, practically 3 young Gummi Bears & a dragon with their human friends, Cavin, Princess Calla & Daphne.
Daphne: Oh, goody. I've been so looking forward to this day.
Sunni: Yeah. Same here.
So, with the Gummies in disguise; them on top of each other wearing a cloak w/hood & a rubber mask, the group ventures out to the gypsy festival. There are all kinds of things happening; dancers, performers, all kinds.
Guinevier: Ooh.
The group stops to see a woman against a large board, she puts an apple on her head as a guy throws a knife, it slices the apple in half.
Audience: (Applauds)
Gypsies: (Bow)
They then see a guy with a grizzly bear on a leash.
Bear: (Growling)
Group: (Recoil some)
Gypsy Guy: Don't be frightened, he won't hurt you.
Cavin: I'm not afraid.
Gypsy Guy: (Laughs)
He tosses a ball to Cavin, he catches it then tosses it to the grizzly, he catches it as well.
Group: (Applauds)
They then see a woman dancing with her tambourine, she gives it to her goat but the goat ends up eating it.
Audience: (Laughs)
Gypsy woman: (Laughs)
Soon enough, the group is still wandering, Tummi whom is at the bottom of the disguise pokes his head out.
Tummi: I'm tired, let's trade places.
Cubbi: No way.
Sunni: Shh! You'll blow our cover.
They then see a woman with a basket, she holds out a lovely pink flower ring.
Guinevier: Ooh.
Daphne buys her the ring which was just a shilling. That's when Daphne & Guinevier spot a bookseller.
Bookseller: (Chuckles) Would the young mistress like a free storybook?
Daphne: Free, huh? You got yourself a deal.
Bookseller: Just remember this, things are not always what they seem. heheheheh
Daphne takes the free book from the gypsy bookseller. Soon at Gummi Glen's living room, Daphne practices fortune telling with her best friend, Tummi and their pet dragon, Guinevier, she has the Wizardology book.
Guinevier: Alrighty, first off, whomever is asking the question will shuffle the cards, while doing so, they have to think of a question.
Tummi: Dibs on the question.
Daphne: Sure, since I'm supposed to be doing the fortune telling.
He shuffles them.
Tummi: O.K., the question I pick… What's for lunch?
Daphne: (Chuckles) Well…
Guinevier: Aww, c'mon, ask something that doesn't involve food.
Tummi: Hey, I'm the one with the cards.
Guinevier: Well, I'm the one with the book.
Daphne: Hold it! We'll settle this the traditional way, rock-paper-scissors.
Tummi/Guinevier: One, two, three!
They do rock-paper-scissors; Tummi does paper while Guinevier does scissors.
Guinevier: Yes! Scissors cut paper.
Tummi: Aw! It's not paper, it's a flat rock.
Guinevier: And these are maximum scissors that can cut through anything.
Daphne: (Rolls eyes)
Tummi: All right, my question is… what would today bring us?
Guinevier: Now, you set 5 of the cards like a cross face down, then Daphne lifts them starting from center, left, right, top then bottom.
Tummi does so, then Daphne lifts the middle card to reveal…
Daphne: The water card.
Tummi: With fishes.
Daphne: It tells of an old woman, wisdom & indulgence.
Guinevier: The middle card represents the question. Next is the left card.
Daphne: (Turns over left card) The heat card. Tells of an enemy, invincibility & regression.
Tummi: A phoenix.
Guinevier: The left card represents the past events.
Tummi: Must mean when Chaos came as a Gummi and gave a wicked wizard invincibility but Sunni stopped them by telling Zummi to recite the spell backwards.
Daphne: (Turns over right card) The cold card. Has rest, bravery & reserve.
Tummi: Polar bear.
Guinevier: Right card means future events.
Daphne: (Turns over top card) Air. Says young people, indecisions & delays.
Tummi: Ooh, an eagle.
Guinevier: Top & bottom both mean people whom maybe involved.
Daphne: (Turns over last card) Moisture. Says a man or boy, haste & uncertainty.
Tummi: Cute toad. Think this'll really come true?
Daphne: Who knows? This is just practice and I may not be doing this right.
Guinevier: Oh. That reminds me, we haven't looked at the book you got.
Daphne: That's right, we haven't.
The human girl takes the fairytale book out of her backpack, she opens it, but to the 3 friends' surprise…
Guinevier: What?
Tummi: The pages are blank, they don't even have any pictures.
Daphne: What a rip. Serves me right for getting something for free.
Guinevier: Hold on. Here's a piece of paper with words. "To view the stories, say following: 'On the wind I greatly sail, transport me to fairytales'."
Tummi: I don't like the sound of this.
Daphne: Me neither.
When suddenly, the book starts to glow and sucks our 3 heroes in like a vacuum. The next thing they knew, they were in a forest on a path.
Tummi: Whoa. Where are we?
Daphne: I have no clue.
Voice: You can't catch me!
Tummi: You say something, Guinevier?
Guinevier: I didn't say anything.
Voice: You can't catch me!
All: Huh?
The group looks down to see a gingerbread man running on its own.
Gingerbread man: Run-run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!
Tummi: Gee, that's one kooky cookie.
Daphne: Hey you, cookie, how do we…?
Too late, he's already gotten clean away.
Guinevier sarcastically: Well, this is a fine how-do-ya-do.
Daphne: Call me crazy, but I think we're in the book.
Tummi: I think you're right. Maybe there's a spell to get us outta here.
Guinevier: Let's see. (looks at paper, muttering) Ah, here it is. "To return outside the book, retrieve the following: the buttons sweet as gumdrops, the apple red as blood, the hair yellow as corn and the eggs pure as gold."
Daphne: I guess we now just follow the path.
So, off they went down the path and deeper into the woods. Soon enough, they came to a clearing and that's when they find a giant gingerbread house.
Tummi: A candy house! Let's stop for a bite.
Daphne: This is starting to seem so familiar.
Tummi goes to the house and breaks off a piece of the window, Guinevier eats a lawn gnome.
Tummi: (Munches) Mmm.
Daphne: Ugh, where have I seen this before?
Guinevier: Peanut buttercup?
Daphne: Thanks.
Just when she eats a peanut buttercup, a voice is suddenly heard from inside.
Voice: Nibble, nibble, like a mouse. Who is eating off my house?
Daphne: (Gulps) Now I remember where I saw this.
The door opens and no one's there, the group looks in.
Tummi: Gee, the place looks disserted.
Guinevier: Maybe there's more candy inside.
Tummi: Yeah.
The dragon & Gummi go inside and start looking around.
Daphne: No, guys!
Too late, once they get inside, a cage drops on them.
Both: Hey!
Voice: (Cackling)
They look over and see the owner of the house, a wicked witch. Guinevier leaps into Tummi's arms.
Witch: Well, this is a pleasant surprise. I set my traps for children, and low, I catch a Gummi Bear & a dragon.
Tummi: Oh, you don't want to eat us, I'm too furry.
Guinevier: And I'm too scaly.
Witch: Well, I can fix that.
She then dumps them in a cage with the boy, Hansel while his sister, Gretel sweeps up.
Hansel: Were you eating off her house?
Guinevier: Pretty much.
Tummi: From the looks of it, you're in the same mess as us.
Gretel: Pretty much.
The witch comes by and pushes Gretel.
Witch: Sweep faster, I want this place so sparkling clean, that I can see my face in it.
Tummi: Gee, and I thought Grammi was strict.
Guinevier to witch: But, what do you care? Not like you have any friends.
Witch: I have a boyfriend.
All: (Snickering)
Witch: What? I do.
Tummi: Oh yeah? What's his name?
Witch: Uh, James… (looks around, sees spatula) Spatula.
Guinevier: (Scoffs) James Spatula? Next time, hook me up with Paul Spoon.
All: (Chuckling)
Daphne sees this through a window.
Daphne: Hmm, that gives me an idea.
While the witch is getting her cauldron ready, there's suddenly a knock at the door.
Witch: Ohh. Now what?
She goes to the door and there's a messenger (Daphne).
Daphne low voice: Telegram for Ms. Witch.
The witch takes the letter and Daphne goes off.
Witch reading: "Dear sweetheart, you're the greatest girl who ever lived." (dreamy sigh) "Let's get together in the woods. Meet me there in 3 minutes. Love, your boyfriend, James Spatula." Oh James. (giggles)
While she's distracted, Daphne sneaks in through the window. Her friends & Hansel & Gretel see her.
Tummi: Daphne!
Daphne: Shh. Open sesame.
The lock on the cage becomes loose, so does Gretel's shackle. Just then, the witch sees her!
Witch: I had a feeling there was something suspicious about this letter! You tricked me!
She charges at them but Daphne shoves the pot over and the water hits the witch.
Witch: (Screams) You accursed brat! I'm melting, I'm melting! What a world!
She then melts in a puddle of goo, the house then disappears.
Tummi: Wow.
Guinevier: Once the witch was destroyed, her spells had all broken. Look!
That's when the group finds a treasure chest, Daphne opens it, it's full of gold & jewels.
Hansel: Ohh, look at all this.
Daphne: I think you kids should have it.
Gretel: Really?
Guinevier: Yeah, you need it more than us.
Gretel: Are you sure you won't take a couple with you?
Guinevier: Well, maybe just one of each.
She takes a gold coin, ruby, emerald, sapphire, peal necklace, amethyst & diamond, Daphne puts them in her pouch.
Hansel: Well, we truly must return to our father.
Daphne: And we must continue on our way.
Gretel: Thank you all, good luck!
Guinevier: Thank you.
The children take the treasure chest and the 3 heroes continue down the path.
To be continued…
