Author's note: This is a little KK fanfic I wrote that takes place right after the 4th book Power Play because Ridley Pearson won't hurry up with the next book J
Rated: T (Just to be on the safe side)
I do not own Kingdom Keepers!
The Keepers needed information if they were going to stop the Overtakers from stealing the Magic. Which is why they were all at Maybeck's Aunt Jelly's shop, Crazy Glaze. Mostly due to the fact that Jelly made the best snacks and they could really use something sweet to off-set their recent adventures. Crossing over was dangerous so they had wanted to lie low for a little while. But that dream only lasted a day. The time was coming closer for the Magic to launch and they needed to do something.
"All right here's what needs to happen. We need a main team, look outs, and back ups, incase somebody needs rescuing. I've already been in contact with Minnie, Pluto, and Ariel. They've made Cinderella's castle their home base, pushing the OT's over to Friontierland and Adventureland. Philby do you have the map?" said Finn. Philby nodded, pulling out a Magic Kingdom park map. But this one was different. It was a map of schematics, including places like the utilidoors and emergency exits. Wayne had sent it to Philby through a Cast Member. "We have to be cautious about this. We have to blend in with our surroundings."
"Oh come on, Finn!" said Jess. Finn was shocked. Usually this kind of outburst came from Maybeck. He wasn't expecting Jess to play devil's advocate.
"Jess we need to be-"started Finn.
"Cautious and careful blah, blah, blah! I think, if the OT's can have spies, so can we! Which is why me and Willa brought these!" said Jess. She went in her pocket and whipped out 4 pair's of Green contact lenses. Willa reached under the table and plopped a bag of wigs and costumes on the tables.
"What are those?" said Maybeck. He was mad that Jess had beat him to the punch of interrupting Finn's safety lecture but he had to admire her spirit.
"These," said Willa finally speaking up, "are disguises. We can use them to infiltrate the OT's hideout by blending in. We can get information. See, we have on good authority that Maleficent and Chernabog are taking their best henchmen and heading down to prepare for the cruise ship launch. That'll leave the Evil Queen and Cruella doing the dirty work."
"True," said Philby, slipping into his professor mode, "But after they came through for Chernabog and Maleficent they'll probably be second in command meaning that they'll be guarding the main hiding spot which is most likely Fantasmic again. Tom Sawyer Island probably got too tiny for them. Plus, all that access to fire and dangerous equipment would just be too good and opportunity for them to pass up"
"Right," said Willa with a curt nod, refusing to let Philby upstage her, "Which means there will be someone else in charge at MK. It's Dr. Facilier. You know, from that movie Princess and the Frog?"
"There's no way you could know that!" said Philby. If anything like this was real, HE would be the first to know…right?
"Well…"said Jess, "I kind of had a dream"
"What? Jess why didn't you tell me?" said Amanda looking hurt. They never kept this stuff from each other. And why had she told Willa?
"Because I wasn't sure it was true and I knew you guys wouldn't believe anything without hard cold proof. I called Willa because she's like, a Disney maniac! I couldn't figure out which character it was so I asked her. But, Mandy, I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you. Anyways, to get the proof, We talked to Wanda who talked to Wayne who did his thing and had it confirmed."
"I still don't see why we have to use costumes" muttered Philby, sounding defeated.
"Well because Finn's plan to just creep around without being seen won't get us anywhere except caught!" exclaimed Jess.
"Oh like playing dress-up won't do that?" challenged Maybcek, sauntering over to Jess.
"It's better than just waltzing along right into a trap, like usual," said Jess, not backing down. They were now standing face to face, eyes narrowed. Nobody else said anything, partly because they were intrigued, and partly because they were afraid.
"And how do you know that THIS isn't a trap? Just because you dreamed it doesn't make you invincible," spat Maybeck.
"And just because you bop around with snide remarks and a bitter attitude doesn't make you any tougher!" shot back Jess. Maybeck opened and closed his mouth but no sound came out. He was too mad to even form words.
"That has nothing to do with this!" Maybeck said, finally able to speak.
"It has everything to do with this! You refuse to believe in this! In any of it! Just because you can't figure it out, doesn't mean it's not real!" shouted Jess.
"Just because some freak had a dream doesn't mean we should be lead straight into danger just because they say so!" yelled Maybeck, furious. Everyone else gasped. Maybeck had said a few harsh things before but calling Jess a freak? Oh he was surely going to pay for that. Her eyes actually changed color slightly to a reddish brown shade. When she spoke, instead of being even louder than Maybcek, her voice was dangerously quiet.
"You know what! You swag around like your some big ladies man! But guess what! You're not! You couldn't even get Charlene to kiss you so you could break the damn curse and Philby had to step up and do it instead!" Jess stated firmly. Willa looked shocked and crest-fallen.
"Wh-what?" she said turning towards Philby.
"How did you know about that?" asked Philby, shocked. He had only kissed Charlene to save them-strictly business. He had never ever wanted Willa to find out. Jess opened her mouth to reply but Willa didn't give her a chance.
"So it's TRUE? You kissed Charlene!" she said, tears prickling at her eyes.
"Willa just-"
"Save it Philby!" exclaimed Willa. She turned towards Charlene, "And just because Finn doesn't want you and likes Amanda instead, doesn't mean you can just flounce around chasing after Philby! I thought you were my friend! You know how I feel about him. Of course," She said turning back towards Philby, " that was when I thought he felt the same way! If you didn't like me, all you had to do was say so!" And with that she pivoted and fled the room, sobbing. Philby trying to catch up, desperate to explain, chased after her. Charlene looked mad after Willa's remark.
"Charlie, she didn't mean that she was just-" started Amanda in an effort to calm Charlene down.
"Oh yes she did!" said Charlene, cutting her off, "But of course everyone could see it couldn't they! Finn chose some fairy over me! What'd you do, Amanda? Bewitch him?" snapped Charlene
"Oh I see how it is! A girl like me would have to bewitch a guy like Finn just to get, him right? That's the only way I could ever get him! Well guess what, sweetie! I don't have that kind of power! So maybe you should just hurry along and accept the fact that for once you can't get everything you heart desires! For the first time in your life, something is off-limits!" replied Amanda, not missing a beat.
"He's not off-limits!"
"Oh you're right! You just couldn't get him! No matter how tight your cheerleading skirts were or how much your Ta-Ta's were peeping out of your shirt!"
"At least I HAVE Ta-Ta's!"
"Oh that's it! I'm done with you thinking you rule the world! You're not the only girl in this group! You may think you're a princess but you're not. And guess what, when a princess can't find a suitor, she loses her throne!' and with that Amanda stormed out the front door and Charlene the back.
"I hope your happy!" said Jess to Maybeck, clearly not done, "You managed to wreck havoc in record breaking time!"
"Um the only reason this is happening is because of your dumbass plan!" replied Maybeck.
"You mean my good plan that you're to tall and proud to admit is actually smart. And guess what? When you step down from your high horse it'll be too late for I'm sorrys and regrets!" This remarked made Maybeck furious. But Jess didn't give him a second to reply. She hurried and followed her sister. She was tearing up which almost never happened. Jess was tough. It took a lot to get her to cry. Maybeck, seeing Jess walk away, couldn't handle staying in that room anymore. He ran up to his room. And then there was one. Finn. He just stood there for a few minutes, trying to digest what had just happened. Jelly came in shortly after, carry a tray with water and 2 tablets.
"What's this?" asked Finn
"It's Aspirin honey, because after hearing your friends go at it, I think you're gonna need some."
Charlene was in her room crying, wondering where she went wrong. Amanda wasn't crying, though she was very quiet and sullen. Jess was weeping softly, not wanting to wake up Mrs. Nash. Willa was a mess, taking deep breaths and trying to fix the pain in her chest. Finn was confused. He went home to his bed and laid down, exhausted. Maybeck, surprisingly was sobbing, though he claimed it was his allergies. But the loudest and biggest crying was coming from Philby. He was a pretty emotional guy and he felt absolutely awful. So awful, in fact, that he forgot to change the computer settings so they wouldn't cross over. After awhile, he was snoring. He had cried himself to sleep.
