Chapter 2
Leo's POV
I was running with a loaf of bread and big buff guys with puffy weird hats were yelling and chasing me with swords. I was about to turn around and yell, "En Garde!", but I decided against it.
There was also a monkey. A monkey? What was a monkey doing running next to me? He had a little purple red hat and a matching vest. And I... I was half naked! Well, not really. I was wearing nothing but a purple vest, white baggy pants, and a little red hat.
All I knew is I had to get away from those dudes. They looked pretty scary and angry at me for something I probably didn't do like all of my teachers usually do.
One of the guys swiped at me with his sword. The weirdest thing was, I found myself having an urge to sing while the big guys chased me. So that's exactly what I did. "Gotta keep one jump ahead of the breadline! One jump ahead of the sword!" I jumped on a barrel, jumped off, and he ended up slashing the barrel and spilling dead fish out of it. "I steal what I can't afford!" Wait, I was stealing?
I eventually got done with my song and my urge for singing stopped. Wait. I recognized that song.
Oh, it's sad. Aladeo's hit the bottom, those singing belly dancers had said during the song. Aladdin. That's it! I was in Aladdin! And my name was Aladeo! Just like when I was in Jack and the Beanstalk and it turned out that... GROVER SENT ME HERE!
"Ugh," I groaned. "That darned Grover."
The monkey, which was probably Abu, looked up at me confused. I shook my head. "Nothing." Oh great. Now I was talking to a monkey.
"Now, we feast!" I told Abu and split the loaf of bread in half. While Abu happily munched on his bread, I noticed a little girl and a younger boy looking through a dump for leftovers. I felt so sorry for them. I walked over and handed my piece of bread to the girl.
"Here," I said. "You need it more than I do." Of course she did. Because I wasn't really Aladdin. I wasn't really homeless. And I did have food.
Abu looked at his bread with guilt. Then he let out a monkey sigh, walked over to the kids, and handed over his partially eaten piece of bread. The kids laughed and patted Abu's head.
Then, I heard a bunch of noise. People were chattering and there was a random heroic fanfare of trumpets. What was going on?
I pushed through a few people in the back of the crowd and saw a really ugly dude riding a white horse. He was dressed in a ridiculous purple outfit was golden sparkly jewels all over. I heard low chattering about how he was supposed to be a suitor for the princess.
Unfortunately, the two little kids decided at that moment to chase each other. They got a little carried away and ran right into the horses hooves.
"Out of my way!" The ugly dude yelled. "Filthy rats!" He was just about to whip the kids with his, well, whip, when I stepped in. The whip wrapped around my forearm, not harming me.
"Hey!" I said. "If I was as rich as you, I could afford some manners!" I threw the whip right back at him.
The prince dude looked at me offended. "I'll teach you some manners!" Abu and I got pushed into some mud.
All the townsfolk started laughing. "Blegh," Abu spat and shook off the mud. The prince and his horse walked off. I stared at their backs angrily.
"Look at that, Abu," I said. "You don't see a horse with two rear ends everyday."
The prince turned around immediately and glared at me. "You are a worthless street rat. You were born a street rat and you will die a street rat, and only your fleas will mourn you." He and his horse walked the the castle gates, and they shut.
I growled at the gates. "I'm not worthless! And I don't have fleas." No, I'm not worthless. I'm Leo Valdez.
I sighed and stared at the closed gates. "Come on, Abu. Let's go." Abu followed me home as the sun set.
We walked for a while and climbed up a bunch of stairs. I recognized this place from the movie. This was Aladdin's home.
Abu took off his hat but snuggled into a pillow.
"Riff raff," I sang. "Street rat. I don't buy that. If only they'd look closer..." I walked over to the window. "Would they see a poor boy? No, siree." I opened the curtains to reveal the Arabian castle. "They'd find out there's so much more to me." I then sat down and slept.
Percy's POV
So all of a sudden I could fly.
I was jumping off a building or something then instead of going splat, I went WHOOSH! I thought this was kind of normal and all, with Jason being superman. But me? Yeah, I'm not superman, so I can't fly. What was making me fly?
And I was wearing a ridiculous outfit. I had a regent hat with a red thing sticking out, a green shirt, and what? Green leggings? EW! Those are for girls!
Also, for some reason, I had really good memories of this place... It was like an island with like three rainbows. There was grass everywhere, the sun was almost always shining, and it was absolutely beautiful. What was it called?
"Neverland?" A voice above me suggestedp. I looked up to see my best friend floating on a cloud.
"What?" I said, "What in Hades? What's happening Grover?"
"I'm the narrator," Grover said. "And you're PERCY PAN!"
"Not cool," I said. "I am most definitely not a pan." Then I thought about it. "Oh, you mean Peter Pan?"
"No," Grover said. "I completely mean Percy Pan. You are Percy, playing the role of Peter Pan. Enjoy!" Grover drifted away.
"Wait!" I yelled. "Wait, man! Come back!" Grover was nowhere in sight. Then I heard a bell.
I looked over to my left, and there was a cute little fairy with blond hair. "Annabeth?" I said.
The fairy spoke, but all that came out was the sound of tinkling bells. And somehow I understood.
"Annabeth?" The fairy repeated. "You mean Anna Bell!"
"Oh!" I said. "Tinker Bell!"
"Tinker Bell?" The fairy repeated again. "Where'd you get that one from?"
"Um, nothing. So what are we doing exactly?"
Anna Bell stared at me. "You really forgot that you're missing your own shadow?"
I looked down on the ground where the streetlight was shining at me. There was no shadow. "Oh, um right. Let's go get that shadow?" Anna nodded and zipped off. I followed.
"There!" Anna pointed to a little house. "This is where we forgot your shadow!" I landed on the window sill with Anna Bell floating right above my shoulder.
Quietly, I peeked through the window. Inside, there were three sleeping kids. One was a girl with caramel colored locks and a blue nightgown. She resembled Katie from back at camp. In the movie Peter Pan, she was supposed to be around twelve, but in this, she looked around 15 or 16. I guess it changed so it could fit to my age.
Across the room was another bed. The kid sleeping in it had short brown hair and wore a more boyish nightgown. He looked around nine years old. A hat and pair of circular glasses sat on the wooden table next to him.
On the bed to his right, a little boy about the age of three or four slept in pink footie pajamas. He was hugging a little teddy bear.
"Shhh," I told Anna. We snuck into the room- who leaves their window opened in the middle of the night?- and started digging through drawers.
I looked in a toy chest, and Anna Bell accidently opened a music box. Tinkling ballet music started to play.
"Anna!" I hissed. "Stop it!"
Anna Bell quickly shut the box. I looked through a pile of stuffed animals and... Then I heard a jiggling sound. Anna Bell zipped up to the drawer it was coming from and pointed to it.
"Huh," I muttered. I opened the drawer slowly, and my shadow slipped out. I closed the drawer suddenly and began to chase my shadow. It climbed on the wall, flew around the chandelier, behind the couch, and into the couch's shadow. I crawled behind the couch to see where it had gone, but I couldn't find it.
Then, I stood up, and saw it on the wall, trying to sneak away from me. "Aha!" I shouted. The shadow stopped dead in its tracks for about two seconds, and began to run. Naturally, I followed. Then I bumped the dresser, knocked it over, and knew I was busted.
Annabeth's POV
According to the little diary I found, I've been in this tower my whole life locked up for safety. What I figured out myself was my only friend was an iguana names Pascal, I like to clean, make candles and dresses, play with my freakishly long hair, and a lot of other stuff. I also like to bust out into random songs like this morning when I was singing about what I do in the morning.
This wasn't that hard. Obviously, I had gone to Tangled. Last time, Piper had gone to the original version of Rapunzel, but now I was Rapunzel. Or in this case, Rapunzebeth.
Okay, so Grover and Mr. D had probably sent me here like last time. This time, I'd have no fairy godmother (or Grover) to guide me through it. Apparently, today was the day before my eighteenth birthday, I had just sung a really long song about my daily habits, and now 'Mother' was supposed to come.
Of course, I already knew the whole plot of the story. I already knew Mother Gothel wasn't actually my mother. But I wouldn't get a happy ending, until I met Flynn Rider. So I just had to play along. Yippee. This was going to be just fantastic.
