Chapter 30:

Wrapping Up The Pages

( At The Reading Area )

Bucky: Well, there it is.

The big wrap-up,

the happy ending,

the finest hour,

the grand finale.


Mort: Wait, it's over already?

Bucky: Well, Mort, that's the thing about stories.

They've come to an end.

That's why it's called The End!

Bess: Uh, Bucky. Any chance we can hear it again?

Bucky: Guys, we just finished the story. Maybe tomorrow.


Annebelle enters the reading area.

Annebelle: Hey, what's y'all doin'?

GASP!

You didn't tell me you were hearing a new story.

I wanna hear it too.


Bucky: But Mom, we just finished writing and reading the story.

Annebelle: Well, ask the narrator to rewind the pages.

Narrator, would you mind rewinding, please?

Narrator: Sure, Annebelle.

Bucky: What? No, Wait!

Annebelle { Calling Out as Narrator rewinds the pages }: Nutto, we're about to hear a story.

Bucky: Oh, no.

Nutto enters the reading area with a giant jumbo bucket of popcorn and bags of candy.

Nutto: I'm here and I brought enough reading snacks for everybody.


Hiss enters the room with Tango and Hal.

Hiss: Hey, don't forget about us.


Then David comes in with Summer.

David: Hey, you guys about to hear a story? Can we join?

Then they hear a chuckle as Zecora came in.

Zecora: It is very wise, to hear a new story twice.


Then entering the reading area is Mickey Mouse as he takes his seat.

Bucky: What The?

" Oh, excuse me," said Snow White as she and The Seven Dwarfs entered the room.

Bucky: Who's this crowd?

Genie, Aladdin, Jasmine, Carpet, and Abu from Aladdin (1992) entered the reading area along with Belle and Beast from Beauty and The Beast ( 1991 ) and Lady and Tramp from Lady and the Tramp ( 1955 ).

Bucky: Hey, down in front!

Goofy, Donald, The Mad Hatter from Alice In Wonderland ( 1951 ), and Rabbit from Winnie The Pooh were sitting peacefully in their seats waiting for the story to begin until Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, climbed down the wall and jumped on their heads to reach his seat. Donalds screams in anger as Stitch just cackled.

Peter Pan entered the room with Pocahantas and called out with a rooster-like call as the lost boys gathered around him to hear the story.

Bucky: Watch It!

Bucky tries not to be squished between Simba, Timon, Pumbaa, and Nala from The Lion King ( 1994 ) and Terk from Tarzan ( 1999 ). Quasimodo and the Gargoyles from The Hunchback Of Notre Dame ( 1996 ) also entered the reading area to hear the story. So did Baloo and Mowgli from The Jungle Book ( 1967 ). Then Dumbo flew in and landed in his seat sending Bucky flying back to his seat.

Bucky landed in his seat between Mort, Bess, and David.

Bucky: Okay, guys you win.

Bess: I knew you kept your promise. Narrator, if you please?.

Narrator: Sure, Bess. Like you guys always say, Patch Of Heaven.

Mort { Speaking as the Narrator begins to read }: Uh, guys...

...I still don't do so well in crowds.
