The Adventures of Tom Thumb and Thumbelina
By Mutitoon90
Chapter Eleven: During the Party
At the party, Tom in a blue suit and tie was sitting by himself, listening to the hedgehog band, and watching the other animals enjoying themselves, when he saw Thumbelina, who was accompanied by Penelope and Carm. Everyone at the party, including the band, stopped what they were doing to see the beautiful girl.
"What a babe!" One of the mice exclaimed in amazement of Thumbelina's beauty. Other mice gave wolf whistles, gasped, and/or yelled, "Make way!"
Tom got up and almost ran to Thumbelina, but he did not have anything to say to the girl.
"Well, that one's a goner." Mother Beetle said to her daughters after seeing Tom and Thumbelina.
Trying to help with the mood, Penelope motioned the band to start playing again, which the hedgehog did.
Tom was about to say something, when a loud crash was heard, coming from where the band was. Everyone looked towards the band to see a certain Red-Crested Gullbree was on it's stomach on the ground with the band members near her.
"Kazooie!" Thumbelina exclaimed in joy, seemingly ignoring Tom as she ran to her friend.
"Thumbelina?" The dazed bird asked, looking at her lost friend, "Wow! You're prettier than when I saw ya last!"
Then, the girl hugged Kazooie, who saw Tom.
"Hey, is that Tom?"
Thumbelina looked at Tom, seeing that Kazooie was curious about him and answered, "Yes. Now, all my friends are here." With that, she walked up to Tom and walked with him to the waterfall.
At the waterfall, Tom picked Thumbelina up and placed her on a flower petal.
"I'm sorry for getting into those fights with you." Tom said, upset at himself.
"It's my fault as well," Thumbelina replied, "and we only had one fight."
"Oh!" Tom said, embarrassed about making a simple mistake.
"But everything will be different once we set out tomorrow to find home." Thumbelina continued.
"But what if you find someone…taller?" Tom asked, nervous about the girl's answer to his question.
"I'm looking for home, not someone tall." Thumbelina answered, calming Tom's fear.
"I found what I was looking for, because you're my dream." Tom confessed.
"And you're a big part of mine," The girl said, "but I can't stop until I've found the dream, I've dreamt about for so long. The place where I truly belong."
"Can we look together, since I've found you?" The boy asked.
"Yes." Thumbelina answered, "You're really the first person I've met that didn't make me feel like a reject. I guess it's because I thought that there's no one else like me."
"And you're right!" Tom said kindly, "There's no one like you! You're beautiful, strong, helpful, kind, and free-willed."
"Thanks, Tom." The young lady responded sweetly.
"Hey, let's get back." Tom suggested, which Thumbelina agreed. The boy, trying to be a gentleman, helped the girl off the petal, and they walked back to the celebration.
Then, they heard the music from the party.
When the two little people returned to the party, everyone was dancing. Most of them were dancing by themselves or with friends, while couples, like Sly and Carm, were dancing cheek to cheek. Kazooie was the only one at the party dancing in the air. Thumbelina waved at the Gullbree, who smiled in responded. Then, Tom and Thumbelina started dancing together.
After a few minutes of dancing, Tom and Thumbelina sneaked away from the others so they could have a kiss. Thumbelina closed her eyes, waiting for Tom's lips to meet with hers, but it never came.
"I'm waiting." She said, trying to convince Tom that she wanted him to kiss her.
"Wait no more." A hush voice answered.
Thumbelina opened her eyes quickly to see Godfrey and Daniel with a gagged and tied-up Tom.
"Guess who." The voice of the mole king said before the giant mole came out of the tall grass, saying, "You can say that I'm dressed to kill."
Hearing the monster mole self-introducing himself, the mice ran into holes, the hedgehog band hid behind Manic's drum set, the raccoons climbed up a tree (Jojo thought it was part of the party, so he followed suit), and Kazooie hid in another tree, hoping not to be captured again. Thumbelina, however, stood her ground, ready to fight the mole, but the mole king grabbed the girl by the arm, pulled her towards him, and said, "I love a good cha-cha-cha."
No music came.
"I said, 'I like a good cha-cha-cha!'"
The band, seeing no other way, appeared from the drum set and started playing a song suitable for people trying to cha-cha-cha.
Pleased, the mole king turned to Thumbelina and said, "I'll lead."
Furious at the mole's actions, the girl demanded Tom's release.
Curious about what Thumbelina saw in Tom, the king of the moles turned to Tom and examined the boy with his nearly blind eyes, and said, "This is your little friend?! Pathetic!"
"He was a goofy dancer!" Daniel said to the king.
"Can't hold a candle to your hoofing!" Godfrey said.
The mole king was so busy dancing with Thumbelina, which looked more like he was flinging her around like a rag doll, to even heard his servants pleas to watch where he was going until he fell down the very hole he entered, taking Thumbelina down with him.
Seeing that the mole king was gone, the animals came out of their hiding places, very angry at the moles. Godfrey and Daniel ran after their king down the hole and covered the hole quickly.
Kazooie and Penelope freed Tom from the bondage and gag.
"Those moles!" The she-mouse said as Tom ran to the covered hole.
"I can't believe that I lost her again!" Tom yelled as he tried to dig up the tunnel, "Thumbelina!"
