30 Worlds, Episode III: "Reuniting It Up"

by William "Blissey" Raymer

Based upon the Disney Channel television series Shake It Up

Created by Chris Thompson

Featuring a special guest appearance from the character "Aurora"

from the Walt Disney Pictures feature film Sleeping Beauty

HISTORIAN'S NOTE: This story takes place after the events of the Shake It Up episode "My Fair Librarian It Up," but ignores the story of how Rocky (Zendaya) gets her spot back on Shake It Up, Chicago!, as depicted in "Forward and Back It Up."

In our last episode, William and Sofia arrived in the town of Danville on a mission to find the second key to saving the multi-verse from the Army of Inter-universal Chaos.

The Danville Key turned out to be five individuals and the interactions between them: Phineas Flynn; his step-brother, Ferb Fletcher; Phineas' girlfriend, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro; Phineas and Ferb's pet platypus, Perry (also secretly "Agent P" of the super-secret all-animal O.W.C.A. spy agency); and Phineas' sister, Candace Flynn.

Along the way, William and Sofia also picked up two non-Key passengers: Commander Meap of the Intergalactic Security Agency; and Candace's fiancee, Jeremy Johnson. Commander Meap became a member of the Enterprise's crew based on his ability to locate the entities that served as Keys or Key components; while Jeremy came along at Candace's request as the ship's cook.

We find the now-nine-strong crew of the Enterprise as they enter the World of Shake It Up, where the next Key is located...

PROLOGUE

On the Enterprise, William Edwards was showing the new members of the crew around the ship. They had just entered the recreation deck. "This is our recreation center, where Sofia and I go when we're not finding Keys," William said.

Phineas Flynn whistled when he saw the bank of arcade machines set in one corner of the cavernous room. "I don't believe it! You have a Fix-It Felix Jr. machine! That's one of the greatest arcade games of all time!" he said.

"I was the 2010 World Retro Gaming Conference Fix-It Felix Jr. Champion, Phineas," William said. "Maybe you might want some pointers, sometime?" "Would I?" Phineas said.

"William, this is E.R.I.N.," a voice said. "We are approaching the specified dimensional interphase coordinates."

"Understood, E.R.I.N.," William said. "We're on our way." William led his crew-mates out of the Rec Deck.

On the Enterprise Bridge, William was the first to exit the turbolift. "E.R.I.N., engage Briefing Mode," he commanded.

The Bridge lights dimmed and a blue holographic projection activated. The humanoid simulation of E.R.I.N., the Enterprise's artificial intelligence system, nodded. "Everyone, our mission here in the World of Shake It Up is simple," she said.

A second holographic projection formed. It was of a Caucasian girl with red hair and a African-American girl with black hair. "These are Raquel Blue—or 'Rocky,' and her friend and dance partner, Cecelia Jones—or 'CeCe.' Until recently, they were the definition of best friends, but their relationship has soured," E.R.I.N. continued.

"Why is that?" Phineas' step-brother Ferb Fletcher asked. "Recently, the set of Shake It Up, Chicago!, the show the two danced on together, burnt down. During the chaos that resulted, a new producer came onto the show and had every dancer on the show re-audition. CeCe was chosen to retain her spot on the show...but Rocky was not," E.R.I.N. responded.

"As a result of this, the friendship between Rocky and CeCe has become severely strained. Our mission in this world is therefore twofold: we must repair the friendship between Rocky and CeCe and find a way for Rocky to get her spot back on Shake It Up, Chicago!," E.R.I.N. continued. "It is of paramount importance, at the very least, to repair Rocky and CeCe's friendship."

"Why?" Phineas' sister, Candace, said. "Because Rocky and CeCe are the Shake It Up Key," E.R.I.N. said. "E.R.I.N., if we're gonna do it, we're gonna do it right," Phineas' girlfriend, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro said. "Well said, Isabella," E.R.I.N. said.

"As for your cover in this world, you are to become the dance troupe 'Enterprizing Voyagerz,' who are to make a cameo appearance in the upcoming relaunch episode of Shake It Up, Chicago, where you are to dance backup for singer Carly Rae Jepsen," E.R.I.N. said. "While you are undercover, seek out and help Rocky and CeCe...preferably before the episode is performed."

"But we don't know how to dance!" Candace said. "I have a way to solve that," William said. "Sofia, if you would?"

Sofia I, Princess of Enchancia and William's fiancee, nodded, closed her eyes then tightly clutched the Amulet of Avalor in her hand. Suddenly, a pink light filled the Bridge. It resolved into Aurora, Princess of the Enchanted Dominion.

"Hello again, Sofia," Aurora said. "My, you've grown." "And I've found my Prince too, but that's not why I summoned you," Sofia said. "We need to learn how to dance."

"I'll be glad to help," Aurora said. "Then, E.R.I.N., revert to Normal Mode. We have some dancin' to do," William said. "Aurora, please follow us."

Aurora nodded, then followed the Bridge crew into a turbolift at the Bridge lights returned to normal.
