Tails and the Beanstalk

Chapter 1: Happy Valley

It was a cold winter's night at Camp Kidney and two Bean Scouts and a Squirrel Scout named Calm, Edward, and Patsy were close by the fire of Scoutmaster Lumpus' cabin as Assistant Scoutmaster Slinkman decided to tell them a story. "Is this gonna be one of those cheesy fan-made versions of Mickey and the Beanstalk?" Edward asked. "Yes," Slinkman said, "But, it's still pretty good. Once upon a time, there was a place called Happy Valley. It was called this because everyone who lived there was happy." As Slinkman told the story, a thought bubble appeared out of Patsy's head that showed what the valley looked like. It was one of nature's garden spots, nestled over deep rolling hills with a babbling brook going right down the middle. Stately trees and lush farms dotted the landscape. "And over looking the valley," Slinkman continued, "standing like a jewel stands…" "A candy shop?" Lazlo guessed. "No," Slinkman corrected, "It was something much nicer. It was a majestic castle, with something very precious kept inside. That thing was the magic Princess Cosmo."

Song #1:

Cosmo: My, what a happy day. What a great blue sky. Kinda makes you sigh in a happy way. What a very merry day. All the word is gay. What a lovely sight. When your heart takes flight and you're swept away. The air is swift with clover. The clouds are turning over. Oh yes, they're turning over, just to show their silver lining. My, what a happy day, never knew such bliss, never read of this in a book or play. What a lovely day. What a great, big, gorgeous, bumptious, lumptious, humgulumptious, simply scrumptious, my, what a happy day.

Ferdinand the Bull: My, what a happy day.

Crows from Dumbo: Never knew such bliss never read of this in a book or play. What a lovely day. What a great, big, gorgeous, bumptious, lumptious, humgulumptious, simply scrumptious, oh my, oh my, what a happy day.

"Princess Cosmo's magic voice cast a spell of peace and prosperity over the land," Slinkman continued, "But, it was too good to last. For one day, a mysterious shadow spread over the land and then something dreadful happened." "What happened?" Patsy asked. "When the shadow lifted," Slinkman explained, "Princess Cosmo was gone. No longer was the valley happy. For without the magic of the princess, all was misery, misery, misery." "Just like being a freshman in high school." Edward pointed out.
