Frodo was glad to eat dinner outside, close to the Fantasmic! show, that evening. He wondered what new excitement awaited him and his friends. Even his guide, Anakin Skywalker, seemed a bit unnerved like he could sense something was about to happen.
"What?" Frodo asked Anakin, confused.
"Mickey left us," Anakin said, worried. "I wonder what he's up to."
"He said he needed to go to that show. He says its important," Rosie said, pointing out the Fantasmic! show entrance.
"I wonder if it will be on dreams," Frodo suggested, not knowing this was accurate.
"Well, let's finish eating and head to the show," Anakin said, watching Frodo, Sam, and Rosie finish their meal.
"I hope this show will be good, won't pull us onto any more rides," Sam huffed, throwing his napkin and paper products in the trash can.
Frodo chuckled. "Let's hope you're right."

The moment Frodo and his companions were ready to leave, they made their way to the Fantasmic! show's outdoor auditorium. So far, there weren't that many people and animals attending this show, which was good. That meant more room to sit down and relax. At last, Frodo and his friends and guide found their spot a couple of seats up. It was enough to see what was happening.
Wait. Something wasn't right! Just after the woman's voice introduced the action about to take place on the show's stage, Frodo was pulled by invisible hands into the water. Frodo gasped the moment he reached the surface, surprised he could swim. All around him, the landscape changed, turning into flowers one minute, then animals pouncing around all over the place the next. Finally, it reached a scene where men were digging the earth.
Frodo looked up upon spotting a princess wearing a brown dress pulling him out of the water. He was stunned. She looked so beautiful, with her straight black hair. And yet, there was his prince, a soldier with short blond hair and wearing a blue shirt, black pants, and black boots, reaching his hand out to her.
"You must leave before the villains show up," the princess said, stunning the hobbit into confusion.
"What?" Frodo asked, right as the darkness took over and the princess vanished. He climbed on shore, stunned to see a witch wearing a purple gown cast a spell on a cauldron. Her appearance changed to that of a hag with silver hair, laughing maniacally.
"Oh no!" Frodo hid behind a rock, watching the scene take place and a giant snake invade the area. Oh, he didn't want to get bit! Oh no! The landscape changed to show a giant dark dragon scanning the area with its glowing yellow eyes. What was he to do?
"This is my dream!" Mickey said, pulling out a sword from a stone and shooting it at the dragon. Mickey turned to the water, casting the fire out with his powers, turning the fire into water.
It worked! Frodo sighed in relief as the villains were vanquished and the day was saved. He looked on once more at the water, as the heroes turned up on a steamboat, waving to the audience. He closed his eyes, surprised his body returned to the stands.
There was Sam, Rosie, and Anakin giving him strange looks. Only Anakin looked at Frodo with a knowing expression on his face. Frodo looked at them, stunned by what he just went through.
"Tell me what that was," Frodo said, confused.
Anakin chuckled. "I believe you went into a dream state."
"Were you really on that rock platform?" Sam asked Frodo, curious.
"Sam!" Rosie hissed, getting her lover's attention.
Frodo was at a loss for words. What a surprise!
"That was incredible," Frodo said, as the performance ended and the lights went up. He waved to Mickey as he left the auditorium with his friends and his guide.
He hoped for many more experiences to come.
.
He returned to his suite at the Disney Beach Club Resort, tuckered out but having the best time of his life. As he changed into his nightclothes and tucked himself in bed, thoughts of the day progressed as he fell asleep.
The last he knew about Anakin was that, when he, Frodo, Sam, and Rosie left Disney's Hollywood Studios, Anakin made it clear they would part ways at the entrance/exit to the park. It was then Frodo waved goodbye to him, hoping he would see him again, before returning to the Disney Beach Club Resort in high spirits.
He only hoped Merry and Pippin were having as much fun as him.
