Chapter 11
The next day, all of the kids were backstage getting ready for the parade and their plan. Then, Maybeck came running up.
"Can we use it?" Finn asked.
"Yep," Maybeck said.
Maybeck had asked the production manager of their performance if they could use a fog machine for their parade and also for their escape.
"So, Maybeck and Charlene you start the fog machine at the sides if the float, five minutes through the parade," Finn explained.
"Ok," Maybeck said.
"Then Willa pulls the cannon," Finn said.
"Wait, what's in the cannon...?" Will asked.
"A big explosive non-harmful bomb, and confetti," Finn replied.
"Great... Just great...," Willa said.
"And if Malificent is in the audience and tries to attack us?" Charlene asked.
"We finish the show even earlier," Philby said.
Finn walked over to Jez who was sitting in a chair.
"Are you okay?" Finn asked.
"Ya, but I can barley remember your guy's names...," Jez said.
"It's ok, you'll get your memory back soon," Finn said.
"Good...," Jez said.
"You still remember the diary and your dreams right?" Finn asked.
"Ummm, come again?" Jez asked confused.
"Man, we seriously have to get your memory back- faster now," Finn said.
"Ok, parade is starting, kids to your float," Karen the stage manager said.
"What about Jez?" Maybeck asked.
"She'll stay here," Finn said.
"But what if Malificent gets to her?" Willa asked.
"Fine," Finn said.
Maybeck helped Finn get Jez up the float.
Right then, the stage managers came and rolled the float in front of the castle.
The start of the parade.
"Uhh, Finn I don't mean to rain on your parade, but the float goes in the opposite direction of the Matterhorn, if we run everyone would see us," Charlene said.
Charlene had put some thought into this.
"Ok, we turn the fog machine on use the confetti and then run into a store and then find our way inside the Matterhorn," Finn said.
When the float was in Main Street and it had been five minutes through, Finn gave Maybeck and Charlene the signal. Maybeck and Charlene turned on the fog machine on all four corners of the float. Now the crowd was standing on tips of their toes to see the Kingdom Keepers. So, nobody would see Jez, Willa stepped in front of her and pulled a string and it let out a bomb of confetti. Then, Willa grabbed Jez's hand and she stood up. Charlene, Philby, and Maybeck were pulling confetti bombs that mixed with the smoke. Now, the audience couldn't see them at all.
"We should go now!" Charlene yelled to Finn.
"Ok, we all go together," Finn said.
While the six kids jumped off the float, Maybeck pulled another confetti and they ran into a store in Main Street. Finn looked roughy he window, the crowd was still trying to see them.
"We made it!" Philby said.
"Let's go to Matterhorn! We have to save Amanda!" Finn said.
The six kids ran through the line of stores, careful so the crowd doesn't see them and got to the end of Main Street, where they has started.
Willa looked back," The crowd is still there, we have time!" she said.
The kids turned right next to Tomorrowland and ran for the Matterhorn. They stopped in front.
"How do we get inside?" Willa asked.
A flash of black light circled around them which made Jez dizzy. The black light suddenly stopped, and transformed into; Malificent.
Jez gasped and stepped back.
"Jezebel darling, do your remember who I am?" Malificent asked calmly.
Jez looked at everyone confused.
"Stop!" Finn said.
"Why, am I messing with your time?" Malificent asked, grinning.
Finn's watch spun and the time changed.
"4:00...," Finn said.
"Why do you want Amanda?" Maybeck asked.
"I'll show you...," Malificent said.
Malificent held out her hands and the six kids levitated and they flashed out.
The six kids fell to the floor while Malificent calmly floated toward the ground.
Finn stood up and looked around, they were inside the Matterhorn Basketball Half Court.
