Pianobuggy:  Hey everyone! You've all returned!  As a special treat for reviewing so quick, I've made sure to make an immediate update for you!

Navi: (with arms crossed) Because it didn't take you long enough the last time you updated!

Pianobuggy: (blushing)  Hey! Since when have you decided to act like a real muse?

Navi:  I am a real muse! But if you want me to act like the average muse, then I'll go get my chain saw right now!

Pianobuggy: o_O Uh….. Here's the chapter everybody! Read and Review!

(Ooh….. By the way….. Raz taught me how to use the bold and italics….. tee hee hee….. I've been having fun!!!!)

Chapter 14

"Monkey See, Monkey Fly"

{at the entrance to Mogall forest, Isaac is carrying the orb of force.  In the middle of the clearing is a cute little monkey}

Sheba: AWWWWWWWW!!!!!! (runs over to monkey to pet it)  Isn't it adorable????!!!

Ivan:  (warily) Uh….. yeaaahhh, Sheba…. (winces) adorable.

Sheba:  What?  You don't like the cute little monkey? (holds it out in front of Ivan's face)

Ivan: AAUGGH!!! (runs to hide behind Felix…. Which doesn't really work) Get that thing away from me!!

Sheba: (cuddles the monkey)  What??? I think he's cute…..

Ivan: Sheba, you imbecile!!!  I'm allergic to monkeys!!!

Sheba: (cocks eyebrow)  What AREN'T you allergic to, Ivan???

Isaac:  (aughing mischievously) Oh, he's not allergic, Sheba….. tee hee hee.  (Ruffles Ivan's hair) He just doesn't like them because he knows that his REAL relatives are monkeys!

Ivan: Shut up, Isaac!!

Sheba: (Punches Isaac)

Isaac: x_x

Ivan: o_O…..

Sheba: (not listening…. kicking Isaac)  That was NOT funny!  You can't make jokes about Ivan's family when he's never even seen them!!! You insensitive jerk!!! (still kicking Isaac)  THIS MAY BE A COMEDY BUT THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU A RIGHT TO BE MEAN!!!!

{The following scene is made special for Jupiter Sprite}

Ivan: o_O….. Sheba?

Isaac: X_X …..HELLO?!! DEAD ALREADY!!! YOU CAN STOP KICKING ME NOW….. X_X

Sheba: (satisfied with beating up Isaac) What, Ivan?

Ivan: I don't get it Sheba….. What's been up with you lately? One minute you hate me and being sarcastic, and the next, you're beating up Isaac for me….. Why have you been acting so strange?

Sheba: (twiddling fingers) Well….. uh….. I couldn't help but stick up for you….. I know Isaac told me that being mean to you was the only way you'd understand how I feel about you, but…..

Ivan: o_O*!!!! He told you WHAT????!!!

Isaac: x_x (thinking…. I know, he's dead, but he's still thinking…. Don't ask me why) uh oh…..

Sheba:  He…. He… he said that you were all backwards and that if I was mean to you, then you would like me…. (looks at ground very pathetically)

Ivan: (touched) Oh, Sheba….. (goes and gives her a little hug)  You don't have to act differently for me….. Isaac was telling you mean lies to torture me….. I want you to be yourself, ok?

Sheba: *sniffles and a few tears* really??

Ivan: (pulling out of the hug) really.

Sheba: @_@… ^_^…

Ivan: ^_^???

Sheba: (kisses Ivan on cheek)

Felix: o_o(awkward….)

Ivan: =O.O= (red everywhere)

Sheba: ^_^

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Pianobuggy: Well, how was THAT???

Navi:  Well this should be interesting…..

Pianbuggy: All for you, Jupiter Sprite….. hope you enjoyed ^_^.

Navi: Hey Pianobuggy?

Pianobuggy: Yeah, Navi?

Navi: Isaac's in big doo-doo, isn't he?

Pianobuggy: Yes he is, Navi….. Yes he is…..

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Sheba: So, Ivan, Isaac lied to me?

Ivan: =O.O=

Sheba: -_-* uh….. Ivan?

Ivan: o_O! (starts) Uh….. What?! What's going on?! Where am I?!

Sheba: -_-* Oh, Ivan…..

Felix: tee hee hee

Sheba: (glares at Felix)  So, Ivan, Isaac really did lie to me?

Ivan: What? Isaac, who?? Oh….. yeah…. Isaac…. Right….. Yeah he did.

Sheba: Ooh…. That makes me so MAD!!

{Sheba and Ivan both look in Isaac's direction angrily}

Isaac: (waking up) Ow… My head…. Oh, Hey guys!  What's up?

{Sheba and Ivan glance significantly, nod, and turn to Isaac}

Isaac: o_O…. Uh… guys?

{loud noises}

Isaac: x_x (again….)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

{Much later}

Navi: Well, guys, he's still not awake. You really took him on good.

Isaac: x_x

Ivan, Felix, Monkey, and Sheba: (having picnic)

Sheba: So why don't you like my monkey, Ivan?

Ivan: =o.o=Actually, I kinda had a bad experience with a monkey once…..

Felix: Care to share?

Ivan: Well, not particularly…..

Sheba: Aww.. C'mon, Ivan!  It can't be that bad!

Ivan:  Welllll….. Okay…..  A while ago, I was vacationing in Tokyo, and one night, I looked out my window, and there was this GIGANTIC (spreads arms all the way out to show how big) lizard, A little talking chihuahua with a cardboard box and a taco bell case, and a monkey that was as big as a building!!

Felix: Aww….. you're making this up.

Ivan: (blushes) am not.

Felix:  (folds arms) And I suppose there was a talking gecko there too…..

Ivan: actually….. now that you mention it…..

Sheba: So what happened?

Ivan: (wide-eyed with enthusiasm) Well, the little dog and the lizard started fighting with light-sabers, but nobody was watching that because the giant monkey was climbing up my apartment building!

Sheba: o.o and then what???

Felix: (rolling eyes) oh please.

Sheba: (hits Felix)

Felix: ow….

Ivan: Well, then the monkey climbs up my building, reaches into my window, grabs me, and then keeps climbing up the building!

Felix: Sure you weren't dreaming this, Ivan?

Sheba: (raises arm threateningly)

Felix: nevermind

Ivan: So then we were on top of the radio tower, and the monkey was still holding me and swatting at news and army helicopters and stuff!

Felix: o_O….. Wait… Ivan….. You aren't talking about King Kong are you?  

Ivan: I dunno…. They called it kokuoo kong…. So maybe….. (A/N: Raz speaks Japanese ^_^ kokuoo means "king"- or at least we think that's how it would be spelled in the alphabet….. correct us if we're wrong)

Felix: Wait….. Didn't King Kong grab a girl in the movie??

Ivan: No one knows that for sure!!! You can make a mistake from far away!

Sheba: (giggling)

Ivan: =o_o=

Sheba: (falls over backwards laughing.  Finally the giggles subside and she opens her eyes and looks up)  Look!  What's that?!!

{Ivan and Felix follow her gaze into the sky to see a little black figure flying on a stick.  She's leaving a trail of white smoke behind her that says "Surrender Dorothy"}

Felix: What the heck?!! Who's Dor-ah-thy?!

Wicked Witch of the West (WWoW): (looking down) Curses!!! This isn't Emerald City!!! And after I used up all of my semi-permanent sky-writing potion, too! I must have taken a wrong turn!

Ivan: Who is that?!

Sheba: I dunno, but she's polluting our sky!!! ~Douse~

WWoW: Curses!!!! I'm MELTING!!!! They'll all pay for this!!!  FLY MY MONKEYS, FLY!!!!!!!! (disappears)

{Flying monkeys from the wizard of Oz spread out throughout logs in the forest}

Ivan: O.O mo- mo- MONKEYS!!!

Sheba: (pats Ivan on shoulder) It's okay, Ivan….. I'll be here for you. ^_^

Ivan: =^_^=

Isaac: (muttering in sleep) no, Mia….. Mom said I can't have a puppy until I'm 18…..

Felix: (giggles)

Sheba: (kicks Isaac) C'mon, monkey-brain….. wake up so we can get out of here!

Isaac: (popping to attention) Okay!

Sheba: (thinking hard) Okay, so we're supposed to flesh out the monkeys so we know our way through the forest.

Ivan: (nervous, tugging on Sheba's sleeve) NO, Sheba….. The monkeys in the Wizard of Oz led them all to the WITCH'S CASTLE….. We can't trust them!!!!

Sheba: (removing Ivan's hand) Oh PLEASE, Ivan….. We'll be FINE.

Isaac: Ivan's right, Sheba….. I'm not going to ask directions from a MONKEY! I know the way!

Sheba: (rolls eyes) We went through this LAST TIME, Isaac!  You DON'T know the way, and you're only saying that because it's impossible for a guy to ask for directions!

Isaac: (Not listening) It's THIS way! (runs off)

Sheba: (calling after) We went that way LAST time, Isaac!!  (sees he's not coming back and throws up arms in frustration) AARRGH!!! (follows)

Ivan: (muttering) I thought I was the leader! (follows)

Navi and Felix: (shrug and follow)

{several hours later, they are once again desperately lost}

Sheba: C'MON, Isaac!  You are SO desperately lost!  PLEASE!!! I'M BEGGING YOU TO USE THE ORB!!!

Isaac: But it doesn't make sense!!! Look!!! (walks forward only to instantaneously end up on the other side of the clearing behind them)  The laws of physics dictate that this is impossible!!!! (gets on knees and grabs his head with both hands in anguish)  IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!! MY WORLD IS TURNED UPSIDE-DOWN!!!

Sheba: (grabs him by the shoulders and shakes him)  ISAAC!!!! THIS….. IS….. THE….. GAME….. WORLD!!!!!! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PHYSICS!!!!!!

Ivan: Actually….. If you get the right fold in the space-time continuum that is somehow infinitely repeated over and over and you happen to step on a single pinpoint, it IS possible to warp from one place to-

Felix: Ivan?

Ivan: (sighs) Shut up, right?

Felix: You got it.

Isaac: (crying as Navi pats him on the shoulder)

Sheba: -_-* Oh, for cryin' out loud! Give me this!!! (grabs orb of force) ~Force~

{The wiz. Of Oz monkey pops out and heads off in the other direction}

Sheba: (cheerily that she finally got her way) 'kay guys! This way! ^_^ (heads off, whistling)

Isaac: (calling after) But that's the way we CAME from!!! We'll just be going BACKWARDS!!!!

{Everyone follows Sheba to find that the way she went got them to the final panel}

Isaac: o_O (jaw drops) I…… I….. Don't…… Believe it……

Sheba: ^_^

Isaac: (points hysterically) THAT'S……… THAT'S THE EXIT!!!!!

Felix: (reaches up to pat Ivan on the shoulder) It's okay….. Calm down, buddy…..

{They all walk toward the exit, when they hear a loud noise from behind them}

Sheba: (turning around) uh….. oh…….. (glances nervously at Ivan)

Ivan: O_O

{Coming out of the giant log is the gigantic hoard of the flying monkeys}

Navi: Well, this is unexpected.

{The monkeys swoop down on everyone, and their psynergy attacks are ineffective.  The monkeys pick them up and carry them to the horizon}

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

{Vale….. The top of Mount Aleph, Ivan, Isaac, Felix, and Sheba are dropped off by the Flying Monkeys}

Ivan: (shading eyes) Where are we??

Isaac: Oh no….. We're on Mount Aleph!!!!

Sheba: @_@ And there's NO hope of a balloon ride in Weyard!!!

Felix: NO!!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONNNGGG IT TOOK US TO GET THERE?!!! I'LL BE SHORT FOREVER!!!! (cries)

Sheba: (crosses arms, stares at Felix)  How many of us think that this is Raz's doing?

All: I!

Raz (i.e. WWoW)'s voice:  HAHAHAHA!!! My Felix will ALWAYSS be a midget like ME!!!!

Ivan: (sits down) Now what'll we do?

Felix: I'll NEVER get to be tall again!!!!

Pianobuggy: (appears in a big pink dress with a silver star-wand and Tiara) Oh, Felix….. You had what you needed to get tall all along!! (sarcastically) Oh, and by the way Sheba….. THANKS for melting my sister….. Do you know how much it's going to COST to get her de-melted??

Sheba: De-melted??? o_o????

Pianobuggy:  Anyway, I am Pianobuggy- Good witch of the North, and I say, Felix, you've had the key to getting to Xian all the time!

Navi: (fiddling w/ Pianobuggy's dress) WOAH….. WHO'S the fairy here?!

Pianobuggy: Shut up, Navi….. I'm going to kill myself for doing this….. Do you have ANY idea how weird it is being a pink bubble??

Navi: I'm a blue bubble….. Well, not the kind you kill that look NOTHING like bubbles….. But I AM a blue bubble.

Felix:  Yeah, that's wonderful, Navi….. Now, Pianobuggy….. How do I get to be tall again?!!  Do I click my heels or something???

Pianobuggy: Nah, you need ruby slippers for that…..

Felix: (jaw drops) How am I going to get THOSE??!!! Do you know how EXPENSIVE rubies are?!!!!!

Pianobuggy: Now, keep your pants on, Felix….. I didn't say you need them…. Actually, all you need to do is, well….. Raz is having a bit of trouble with those NPCs, now that she kinda took away her prey….. So if you promise, after this chapter is over, to go deal them some of your firepower and quietly get rid of them for us, we'll be much obliged.

Felix: We have to do THAT?! I'd rather have to get the ruby slippers!!!

Pianobuggy: PLEASE, Felix???

Felix: Well, ok….. If it means I can be tall again.

Pianobuggy: When you finish, but it'll go a lot faster if I warp you to Xian.

Felix: (sniffle) Okaaayy…..

Pianobuggy: (does a little baton-twirl dance w/ the wand and POOF, everyone's in Xian)

Felix: Thanks Pianobuggy.

Pianobuggy: No prob, but remember your promise…. Between the chapters…..

Felix: (dismissively) yeah, yeah, whatever.

Pianobuggy: Good.  Bye everybody! (becomes bubble and disappears)

Navi: That was the worst get-up I've ever seen.

Isaac: Alright, everyone….. Let's go, but I think we can all agree…..

Everyone else: (sing-songy with right hands up in a pledge-stance) We will talk to EVERYONE.

Ivan: Amen.

Sheba: (rolls eyes)

{They all go into Xian}

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Pianobuggy: (NOT in the goofy dress) So, whatcha think? Was that quick enough? ^_~.
