Chapter Four: Welcome to the Jungle

When I opened my eyes all I could see was darkness, my entire body felt sore all over.

What the hell happened? Oh, yeah. Yzma had knocked me out with a freaking water pitcher!

That evil bitch was so dead the next time I see her. Hang on, there's something furry touching my face. What could it possibly be! I felt around with my hands at the same I remembered that Kuzco had been turned into a llama, so that means that I'm in the bag with Kuzco! Oh man, I've got llama butt in my face!

Suddenly, I felt cool air inside the bag; Pacha must be opening the bag right now! I wish I could see what's going on, but I can't because I've got Kuzco's llama ass in my face.

Damn it.

"Where did you come from, little guy?" I heard Pacha ask.

"No, touchy." Said Kuzco sounding very out of it.

I heard a thump on the ground, as Kuzco hit the ground. Yes, freedom! I slowly climbed out of the bag, my limbs feeling very stiff. I tried to stand up on my own, but I immediately felt woozy so I sat down and leaned against the cart.

Yeah, well let's see how well you stand after getting hit in the head with a water pitcher, and then being shoved into a bag with a llama.

At the moment Pacha hasn't noticed that I'm even here, he's still freaking out about the talking llama, aka Kuzco.

"Demon llama!" Pacha yelled out

Kuzco looked confused. "Demon llama? Where?"

He turns around to see Pacha's pet llama, Misty. "Ahhhh!"

Ha ha! Kuzco screams like a girl! I mentally slapped myself, stop making fun of Kuzco and focus, Rose!

"Pacha? How did I get here?" I said pretending to sound confused.

Yep, I still have skills.

Pacha turned around with a surprised look on his face. "Empress Rose!"

"I'm not the empress, Pacha." I tiredly reminded him.

Pacha looked apologetic. "Oh, right. Sorry."

I shrugged my shoulders. "Nah, it's okay. You're just being polite."

Pacha knelt down in front of me looking concerned. "What happened to you?"

"I don't know. I remember getting hit from behind, and then I woke up here."

I didn't completely lie. I just don't want to say the wrong thing, because otherwise Walt Disney might come here to kick my ass.

"It's okay. I'll help you figure this out." Said Pacha.

"Thanks!" I replied.

"Yeah, can we get back to me? I'm more important!" called out Kuzco

I rolled my eyes. Pacha got up and slowly crept toward Kuzco. "Okay, demon llama. Just take it easy, I mean you no harm."

Kuzco gave him a look. "What are you talking about… oh, wait I know you. You're that whiny peasant."

I glared at Kuzco. "Yes, he's guy whose home you're going to destroy for your own selfish reasons!"

Kuzco snorted. "Yes, I feel so terrible about it. Bad Kuzco!" he said mockingly

Pacha's eyes widened. "Emperor Kuzco!"

"Yeah, who do you think you were talking to?"

Pacha looked confused. "Um. You don't look like the emperor."

"What do you mean I don't look like the emperor?"

Okay, I think it's time to roll this along.

"Kuzco, look at your hands." I suggested

"Yeah, do this!" Pacha agreed as he waved his own hands in front of his face.

Kuzco rolled his eyes at us as he did what we told him. "What is this, some little game you country folk like…" he notices that his hands are now hooves. "Ahhhh, it can't be!"

Kuzco looks at his reflection in the water trough. "My beautiful face!"

Geez. What a diva!

Pacha tried to calm him down. "Shhh! What happened?"

Kuzco tried to stand on two legs, but failed miserably when he fell. I laughed out loud.

Oh, man! That was priceless.

Kuzco glared at me. "I'm trying to figure that out. I can't remember anything. Wait a minute. I remember you. I remember telling you that I was building my pool where your house was and then you got mad at me. Oh! And then you turned me into a llama!" he said to Pacha.

"What!" Pacha cried out.

I stood up, feeling a little better, and then walked over to Kuzco. "Pacha didn't do this, Kuzco! It's definitely not his style."

Kuzco looked thoughtful, pondering over my words. "Hmm. You're right. That's giving him way too much credit. Okay, I have to get back to the palace. Yzma's got that 'secret lab.' I'll just snap my fingers and order her to change me back."

"Kuzco, don't you think it's possible that Yzma is the one that did this to you. I mean you said so yourself, she has that secret lab." I told him

Walt Disney can come haunt me if he wants, I'll just have to go all exorcist on his ass.

Kuzco shook his head at me. "She wouldn't do that. I'm her favorite person."

Yup, he's so clueless.

Kuzco started to use the wooden fence to help him walk. "Hey, Tiny, Rose! I want to get out of this body! Wouldn't you? Let's go!" He called out to both Pacha and I.

Pacha crossed his arms and gave Kuzco a stern look. "Build your summer home somewhere else."

"Yeah, and I'm not returning to the palace to get married to you." I added stubbornly.

Kuzco looked shocked. "You want to run that by me again."

"I'm not going to take you back until you change your mind and build your summer home somewhere else." Said Pacha

Kuzco pulled himself away from the fence and walked over to Pacha on all fours. "Hmm, I got a little secret for you. Come here. No, closer." He got in Pacha's face. "I don't make deals with peasants!"

"Then I guess I can't take you back." Pacha stubbornly insisted.

"Fine! I don't need you. C'mon, Rose! We're leaving!" said Kuzco as he started to walk off toward the jungle.

"I told you, I'm not going."

"What!" Kuzco spun around and looked at me.

"I'm not going to marry you, Kuzco."

Kuzco walked over to me and got in my face, like he did with Pacha. "I don't know why you're playing so hard to get, you know find me irresistible!" he said in a very husky voice

My stomach felt like it was all tied up in knots and I blushed. Kuzco smirked at me, noticing my reaction. What was wrong with me? He's a llama, and a total assbutt.

I gulped. "It's still no."

Kuzco backed off. "Fine, but as soon as I change back, I'm sending guards to drag you back to the palace."

"You do that, I'll be long gone."

Kuzco started to walk off. "Whatever, Rosie!" he said in a sing-song voice.

Grrr.

"I wouldn't go if I were you!" said Pacha speaking up.

"I'm not listening!" called out Kuzco

"I mean it! There are jaguars and snakes and quicksand."

"La la la. Still not listening!" Kuzco walked off into the jungle

"Fine! If there's no Kuzco, there's no Kuzcotopia. Takes care of my problem." Said Pacha talking to himself

I sighed knowing that I had to go into the jungle and save Kuzco's ass with the help of Pacha of course

"Listen, I know that Kuzco can be a bit of a…jerk." I began "But, it would be wrong of us to let him die in that jungle. Besides, if we go after him we have a chance at trying to change his mind about destroying your home."

Damn, do I have the best persuasion skills or what?

Pacha sighed and nodded his head. "Yeah, you're right. There's always some good in everyone. Let me just tell my wife that I'm leaving and then we will be on our way."

Fifteen minutes later, Pacha and I were pushing our way through the jungle trying to locate Kuzco.

"So, how did you get engaged to Emperor Kuzco?" Pacha asked curiously.

Oh, crap! How was I supposed to answer that question? You see Pacha, I'm from the Real World, and you're not supposed to exist. Yeah, that will go over well. Not.

"I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time." I answered vaguely.

Suddenly, we heard screaming stopping our conversation short. Thank God.

"I think we just found Kuzco." I said before we both took off running toward the direction of the screams.

We stopped when we came to the edge of a cliff, from our spot we could see that Kuzco was cornered on another cliff by jaguars. I smirked to myself as a plan formed in my mind.

"Pacha! Follow my lead." I told him as I grabbed a long vine hanging from a tree. "Geronimo!" I called out as leapt and swung toward Kuzco.

Oh, yeah! Tarzan would so be jealous of my swinging skills! The vine snapped. I fell and landed in Kuzco's lap. He smirked and winked at me. "I knew you couldn't resist me!"

"Shut up, Kuzco! Now is not the time!" I growled at him.

We both turned our attention back to the jaguars, who were snarling at us. Wow. This is so much scarier in real life than it is on tv.

At that moment, Pacha comes swinging down on his own vine right toward the jaguars.

"Yeah, that's right! I brought back up, so suck it!" I told the jaguars as Pacha just swung right past us.

Well, this is not good. The jaguars went back to snarling at us, not noticing that Pacha was swinging from behind. He grabbed both Kuzco and I right before the jaguars pounced, then somehow the vine gets wrapped around a large branch and the three of us were tied to a tree.

"Maybe I'm just new to the whole rescuing thing, but this, to me, might be considered a step backwards, wouldn't you say? Said Kuzco sarcastically

"At least we're not being eaten by jaguars." I retorted

The branch begins to crack. "I hate you." Kuzco tells Pacha.
