The Adventures of Tom Thumb and Thumbelina
By Mutitoon90
Chapter One: Life on the Road
A small, brown haired girl woke up to the sound of the ringmaster's voice.
"Thumbelina! Wake up!"
A tiny lady sat up in her bed, which was in a dollhouse, as a Meowth wearing a ringmaster's outfit, appeared into her sight.
"Hey! Sleep on your own time; you've got one more show to perform for today!" The Meowth, who was also the ringmaster, yelled at the girl.
The young got out of her bed, revealing her nightshirt and a necklace that looked a triangle made out of three smaller, golden triangles and a blue upside down triangle in the middle, and went to the changing screen.
"Move it!" The small lady's boss said as he walked away.
"'Move it!'" The girl mocked her boss as she left the changing screen, wearing a blue dress with white frills, blue high heels, and a blue ribbon. Then, she turned to the mirror, seeing the ribbon held her long hair back from covering her pointy ears, and hid her necklace in her dress.
As Meowth walked thought the grounds, he saw Pin-Ears, Pichus with sharpened ears, working on their act, while the others, The Breaded Jynx, The Machamp, and the Snorlax, were watching the act.
"Hey, you rejects!" The ringmaster yelled at the group, hurting their all ready bruised spirits, "If you put more energy into your acts, you losers would amount to something!" Then, he left, leaving a group of down-spirited Pokemon.
In the big tent, which was more like double the size of a camping tent, Thumbelina was finishing tightening an underfed Pikachu's saddle. Next to them was a Mankey, who looked underfed as well. Then, Meowth came in.
"Showtime! I want you rejects grinning ear to ear! Got it?"
Thumbelina, Pikachu, and Mankey smiled at the Meowth, who also grinned at the fact that he was the boss. With that, the Meowth left the three to the curtain and the stage. Seeing this chance, each of the three friends blew a very loud raspberry. The Meowth returned and saw the three 'still' smiling, like when he left them and returned to the stage.
At the stage, Meowth started the music, via record player, and introduced the act.
"Ladies and gentleman, children of all ages, welcome to the Fair of Odds! I'm Meowth, and I'll be your host, and ringmaster for this evening. For the first act, you're going to see the world's tiniest girl, Thumbelina!"
Behind the doors where Thumbelina and her friends were to show themselves, the small girl said to her friends, "Let's just get this over with."
So, the three friends revealed themselves as they performed their act: The Mankey juggled balls, while Thumbelina and Pikachu did a timed routine, and after those, a reenactment of one of the most famous scenes from 'King Kong,' with Mankey falling into a net, bouncing off of it, and landing in the audience, while Pikachu 'flew' a toy airplane and 'rescuing' Thumbelina.
While Thumbelina rode the plane, she saw a mother and daughter pair. Their faces were filled with amazement as the Mankey saw that the daughter's white bow fell out of her hair, which Mankey did pick up. Then, Thumbelina saw the pair's faces again; they were filled with fear and confusion. Then, she saw Meowth sitting next to the pair, and knew what had happened: he called her 'one of life's little accidents' as he has always told her most to all of her life.
Meowth got up and presented Thumbelina again.
"Doesn't her just melt you heart?"
Pikachu, however, was hungry, saw a red apple and went for it. Pikachu bit into the apple, and Meowth yelled in pain. It turns out that the apple that Pikachu saw was really Meowth's tail.
After putting Pikachu and Mankey in their cages, Meowth walks up to Thumbelina's house and showed the tiny girl his bandaged tail.
"Look at this!" The ringmaster demanded.
"I'm looking." Thumbelina said, as she left the changing screen, wearing a pink sweater, purple pants, pick socks, gray shoes, and a purple headband, "It could have been worse, like Pikachu eating your Berry tree."
"Good point." Meowth said as he took the girl's words to consideration. Then, he realizes that she was being smart with him, "You're getting too smart for your size, and it's ticking me off! And I don't want to be ticked off."
"Who does?" The girl remarked.
"Not if your one of my rejects!" Meowth snapped back as he slammed the front of the house in the girl's face.
"I'm a reject." Thumbelina said as she walked up to her window. She saw Pikachu and Mankey, "There are other Pikachu. There are other Mankey. There are even other Pin-ears, but there's only one me."
As she sighed to herself, her friend, the Mankey, held the white ribbon that he picked up earlier to Thumbelina.
"Thanks." Thumbelina said as she took the ribbon from her friend's palm and wrapped it around her body like a towel, "There's no one like me out there."
Meanwhile, a blonde boy wearing brown overalls, a white shirt, and brown shoes, was on an engine, looking for a problem.
"Sig, I need a wrench." The boy said, holding out his hand.
Sig, a dark skinned man with a bionic eye, gave the blonde haired boy a wrench.
"Thanks." The pointy-eared boy said, while the man chuckled a bit.
The boy dragged the wrench to the bolt that needed to be tightened and did his job.
A concerned Sig asked, "Need some help?"
By this time, the boy was jumping on the wrench to tighten the bolt.
"No…thanks."
Then, the boy slipped off the wrench and landed on a spring, which launched him from the engine and into Sig's hand.
There was one thing the boy said to Sig: "Start it up."
After removing the wrench from the engine, the two drove the truck down the road.
"Sig, am I small for my age?" The boy asked Sig.
"That's hard to say." Sig answered.
"Since there's no one else to compare me to." The boy finished.
"Tom, it's better to be an original than a copy." Sig said.
"Easy for you to say." Tom said, turning away.
Sig took a deep breath.
It was a while before Sig said something.
"What's that?" He asked, pointing at Tom's shirt
The boy looked at his shirt, only to get flicked on the nose. The two laughed.
"You were always a sucker for that one." Sig said with a smile, "You've got to be ready for anything."
