Amy's p.o.v***
"They've been in that bathroom for a long time."Beauty mused, as we stood outside of a mens restroom shaped like a fish.
"Maybe they're out of toilett paper."I offered, arm resting over Suzu's shoulders.
"Or beating each other up."Suzu joked, and I chuckled.
"That's more likely, what with how Bobobo and Softon have been glaring at each other since we got here. I wonder what's wrong with those two."I contemplated, thinking back on how they could possibly not like eachother.
Other than that first fight, I couldn't think of anything.
"Sis! Can I go on the Toaster Coaster next?"Beauty asked excitedly. I smiled down and ruffled her hair.
"Sure thing, just make sure you don't eat-" BOOM. I winced back as the entire restroom exploded, leaving the guys kneeling in the rubble.
"Don Patch!"Bobobo exclaimed, holding Don in his arms. I ran up and looked down, Bobobo kneeling with Don, Softon scratching the back of his head and standing a ways away, Gasser sitting and looking dazed, and Jiggler making a castle out of the pieces of rubble.
"He alright?"I asked, seeing Don unconcious.
"Let me check!"Bobobo exclaimed, pulling out an egg and cracking it over Don's head.
When he went to pour the insides on his face, nothing happened, and Bobobo looked inside the egg.
"WHaa!"He exclaimed, "His temperature's so high it boiled the egg! Now I'm gonna have to have french toast for breakfast!"
"But I don't speak frenchtoast!"Don Patch exclaimed, waking up.
I facepalmed and exclaimed,
"What does that have to do with anything?!"
"This was Halekulani."Suzu grumbled angrily, and I turned to her.
"How do you know?"I asked, and she held out her hands and explained,
"He's just the kind of guy to blow up an attraction that's losing money. He doesn't even care if there are people inside!"
"I'm more concerned that he considers a restroom an attraction..."I muttered, as Bobobo, Don, and Jelly stood.
"I'm gonna get that guy!"Bobobo exclaimed, and the three took off, shouting various threats towards Halekulani as they went. Dengakuman crawled onto my head, Gasser and Softon walking up to stand next to us.
"They're not gonna get far, are they?"Gasser asked.
"Nope."I mused, and just as I did the attraction they ran into exploded, sending them flying backwards. They then began to crawl to the nearest attraction, and I rolled my eyes.
"C'mon, they're not gonna get far without us."I said, and began to jog over to the building they entered. Once inside, I saw it was some sort of indoor playground with a jungle gym, sand box, and multiple other things that little kids were playing with.
"What's- what the?!"I exclaimed, and I felt myself begin to shrink until I was short(er), feeling very pre-puberty.
"What happened? We're toddlers!"Beauty exclaimed, and I looked down to see that I was, indeed, a toddler.
"It's okay!"Suzu said, her voice higher now that we were all younger, "This is a very popular attraction. Everyone who enters is turned into a little kid and they get to run around and have fun!"
"So Bobobo and the others are little kids?"I asked, a hand on my hip.
"This I gotta see..."Gasser muttered, and I turned around to see kid-Don Patch. He was smaller, in a brown trench coat and a revolver in his hand.
"What?!"I exclaimed, as he shot it at us. Instead of bullets, there was candy.
"Hey, cut it out!"I shouted, as one hit me.
"Eh?! Amy, it's Bobobo and Jelly!"Suzu exclaimed, and I looked over to where Bobobo was, standing in a samurai costume and now my height, just a little kid. Jelly was sitting on a bench, looking at himself in a small mirror and fawning over his face.
"Why am I not surprised?"I asked, shaking my head.
"I wanna be his friend!"Don Patch exclaimed, and the three began to walk forward, eventually going to reach and intersection where they would meet, tying the bonds of destiny.
Once they reached the middle, they stopped, each looking at the other for a moment. Then I blinked, and they formed a rock band and began wailing away on instruments with Bobobo singing 'darlin I found a porcupine in my soup'.
"Tag, you're it!"Beauty exclaimed, lightly tapping my arm with her hand. I looked over, surprised, as she ran away with Suzu. A smile slipped onto my face and I sighed.
Hey, if we were kids, why not act like them? I took off after them, climbing onto a jungle gym with Bobobo, Don, and Jiggler. I climbed to the top and tagged Jiggler, then turned the other way and climbed down, laughing.
"You're it!"I called up, already feeling that easily amused child in me rising up as Jiggler ran towards Beauty, only to be tripped by Gasser. Jiggler turned and tagged him, and Gasser quickly tagged Suzu, who reached down to tag me and made me trip backwards as I backpedaled, trying to escape her.
"Ouf!"I exclaimed, falling and skinning my palm. I looked down at it and frowned, the stinging sensation beginning.
"Here, you need a band-aid."Softon said, kneeling down. I looked up and saw him in kid-form, still taller than me and faintly resembling the way he did when I first met him. He pulled out a band-aid identical to his head and placed it on my palm, making me smile.
"Thanks Softon!"I exclaimed, grinning at him.
He looked at me for a second before nodding and helping me to my feet.
"You're it!"Beauty exclaimed, tagging Softon and running back into the jungle gym. I laughed and ran from him, as well.
"Catch me if you can!"I called back, turning my head and running into someone. I stumbled backwards and looked up, seeing a grown man standing there in hair hunter clothes with horns on his hat that read 'enemy'.
I gaped and turned, everyone climbing to the top of the jungle gym, unaware of what was going on.
"Hey!"I exclaimed, the man reaching down and grabbing me by my collar, raising me off the ground. He snarled in my face, and I frowned,
"Amy!"Everyone called, but I didn't need help.
"Hahaha,"He man chuckled, "You're just a little kid now! There's nothing you can do to defeat me-" I grabbed his hands and used them as leverage to raise up my lower-body, kicking him in the face and sending him flying backwards so hard that he crashed into the wall, creating his outline in the plaster. I backflipped in the air and landed in a crouching position, glaring at the man who stumbled out of the wall and fell to his knees, collapsing fully and moving his head up, face bruised from my kick.
"H-how? You're just a little kid!"He exclaimed.
"I was a trained assassin by the age of three."I told him, standing up.
"Amy's having one of those scary-serious moments again! I'm scared."Jiggler exclaimed in his kiddi voice, and I faced all of them, relaxing.
"Well, looks like Halekulani knows we're here now."I mused, and Beauty and Suzu nodded.
"It's time to track him down before he finds us."Suzu decided, and took Beauty's hand, turning and walking towards the door. Don and Jiggler slid on their bellies towards the doorway, and Gasser followed behind, confused.
I felt hands grab both my hands, and looked up to see Bobobo holding my right, Softon my left, both of them looking away, slightly embarrased. I smiled and chuckled, squeezing their hands and saying,
"C'mon, let's go find Halekulani!" They nodded and we all walked out together, into the sunlight.
Once outside, I felt my body begin to grow again, until I was at my normal height.
"Aww, I didn't get to play!"Bobobo pouted, and I nudged him, saying,
"You can play after we defeat Halekulani. Now, just where is he, Suzu?"I asked, and she looked up.
"Oh, right! Well, he's in Money Castle, directly in the center of Holy Guacamole Land. In order to get there, there will no doubt be obstacles to overcome, such as enemies running attractions. It's gonna be a very dangerous road, so we need to-"
"Split up!"Bobobo exclaimed, picking me, Beauty and Suzu up and rocketing away, Softon shouting,
"Hey!" Just as we dissapeared from their sight. I sighed, shaking my head.
"Bobobo! Don't do this it's a very bad idea!"Suzu shouted, and I looked over at her, both of us still slung over Bobobo's shoulders, Beauty stacked on my back.
"You can't talk him out of it. Once he's got his mind set on something, he's gonna get it done."I mused, hoping the others would be safe without us..
"Look! A gingerbread house!"Bobobo exclaimed, running inside. Once inside the sweet-smelling establishment, I slid off Bobobo's shoulder, landing easily on the floor as I looked around. It was indeed a gingerbread house, made of all sorts of sweets with frosting accents, Bobobo excited and jumping up and down.
"Calm down, Bobobo! There might be an enemy here!"I exclaimed, and a nasally voice said from above,
"You're right, Scorpion Fist Master! Your instincts are impressive."
I looked up to see a man with very thin, very long eyes and wild black hair, in a black jacket with white fur around the collar and a black shirt and pants. His arms were crossed and his nails were at least a foot long, if not more.
"Gross..."I muttered.
"It's one of Halekulani's Big Mean Thug Guys!"Suzu exclaimed, "His name's Gargel of Manicuria!"
"He could use a manicure..."I muttered again.
Bobobo pouted and exclaimed,
"I just wanted some sweets!"
"Hahaha!"Gargel exclaimed, "My nails grow when they are thirsty for blood, it costs me a fortune in manicures but it's worth it to take down you all!" His nails began to grow tall and long and he exclaimed, "Take this! Hunting Claw!" His nails shot right at us, and I barely had time to swoop down and shield Suzu and Beauty before they hit, one catching my wrist before I safely got the girls behind a pillar.
"Sis, you got hurt!"Beauty exclaimed, looking at the small trickle of blood on my wrist.
"I'll be fine."I assured her, Suzu pulling some tape out of her jacket. As she wound it around my wrist, I heard an explosion and Jelly Jiggler rolled into our view.
"How did you get here?"I asked, and he pouted.
"The other group kicked me out."
"Amy! Are you okay?"Bobobo asked, sliding into our view and stepping on Jiggler's face. I nodded and waved him off.
"It's a scratch."I disregarded, and Bobobo turned around, glaring as his aura began to shine a bright yellow.
"You can't use a jelly attack like that on me!"Gargel exclaimed as I stood, walking into view to see him covered in bits of jelly, "It's gets under my nails! I'll slice you like a scratching post!"
"Oh yeah? Well listen up here, kitty! No one gets to hurt Amy and get away with it! Let's see if you can stand up to...DOG FACE!"Bobobo exclaimed, turning around, his head now that of a very scary-looking dogs. He jumped into the air and punched at Gargel, sending him flying and shouting,
"Silver Claw: Woof Woof!"
"How does he do these things?!"Suzu exclaimed, and I shrugged.
"We tend to just let him do his thing."I mused.
Gargel stood up shakily, glaring, and I held my ground, knowing that with Bobobo I could defeat him...
"I miss Don Patch!"Bobobo exclaimed, clinging to my leg and crying. I gaped and exclaimed,
"You're the one who left him! C'mon, let go! We've got a fight!"
"Nail Bed!"Gargel exclaimed, and I looked up as nails came flying at me. I gaped, unable to move, knowing that this attack was going to hit me head-on...
"Fist of the Wobble Wobble: Jelly sheild!"Jiggler exclaimed, expanding and slamming down in front of us, blocking the nails. I was surprised, gaping at Jiggler.
"Jelly!"I exclaimed, as he went back to his normal self, facing me with multiple holes poked in him yet still smiling.
"Yes, my love?"He asked, and I twitched in both annoyance and disturbance.
Bobobo crawled away, pouting on the pillar that the girls were behind. I grit my teeth, knowing that without Don Patch he wouldn't fight. That left me with only one other option. I faced Jiggler and said seriously,
"We're gonna have to fight together, understand?" His face turned suave and he gave me a toothy grin, nodding.
"I understand, and maybe after we could grab some dinner-"
"Fist of the Scorpion: Assisted Poisoning!"I shouted, slapping a giant needle onto Jiggler's head and picking him up, throwing him like a spear at Gargel. It rammed into him, making him scream out in surprise and pain, eyes bugging out. I dusted off my hands and pulled Jiggler out of the wall, stepping on Gargel and asking,
"How far to Halekulani's castle?"
Twitching, Gargel coughed out,
"About five minuets if you avoid the toll road." I stepped off him, removed my needle from Jiggler's head, and turned to the others.
"C'mon guys, we gotta get to that castle!"I exclaimed, and Bobobo, newly engergized, picked up Jiggler and slammed him down on the ground, hopping on his back with Suzu and Beauty behind him, me between the girls and holding onto Bobobo's waist as we lunged forward, Bobobo placing reigns in Jiggler's mouth and rocketing us out of the candy house.
"To Money Castle!"Bobobo exclaimed, as we went on a high-speed sled ride through Holy Guacamole Land.
