Ok, so… um… The Hunchback of Notre Dame is my new guilty pleasure and I just couldn't resist writing this. And hey, first one! So, here I go.

Jumbo Jet 2010:

Team Amazon (minus Cody) , Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot, and Dj sat in the mess hall section of the plain.

"So, Team Amazon, would you mine explaining why Cody wanted us to come here?" Noah asked

"Beats us. He's been acting all hyper ever since the end of the Paris challenge yesterday." Courtney said

"Although, last night in his sleep I heard him muttered in his sleep: I've got it! I've figured it out!" Sierra said

"Figured out what?" Dj asked

"I have figured out the ultimate scientific impossibility!" Cody pushed in a machin3 that was about as tall as him into the room. "Time travel!" Cody said.

Every team burst into laughter. Even Sierra.

"How gullible do you think we are?" Noah laughed.

"I'm serious! And, if I could have 5 volunteers, I'll demonstrate by taking you back to 1482 Paris." Cody said

"I'll do it! Even though I'll laugh at you when it's over." Izzy said

"I guess if Izzy's doing it, I'll do it." Owen offered.

"Aw! Thanks' Big O!" Izzy cooed.

"Hey Heather why don't you and Sierra do it." Gwen offered.

"Why not?" Heather shrugged as she walked over to join Owen and Izzy.

"What could it hurt?" Sierra said joining them.

"I could use a good laugh." Alejandro said.

"Every word will be automatically translated into English. Ok, at the push of this button-"Cody held up a remote with a big red button on it. "We'll be transported to the past. More specifically-"Cody started

"Paris 1482. You told us already." Owen said kindly.

"Now, just to let you guys know, time will pass differently between here and the past. Like for example, 2 days in the past will feel as 2 hours here." Cody said

"Why is that?" Dj asked

"I don't know. I haven't exactly-"Cody started

"Press the button already!" Alejandro, Owen, Izzy, Heather and Sierra shouted to him.

"Ok! Ok! Sheesh!" Cody pushed the button.

The only difference in the environment was a low whistling sound.

Everyone was laughing silently.

"What! But, I figured everything out." Cody said

"Hey here's the problem! There's a piece of metal blocking this door." Izzy said reaching for the piece of metal.

"Izzy! Stop I need to-"Cody never finished the sentence. The portal opened. And it was like a huge vacuum trying to suck everyone up.

"Everyone grab onto something!" Tyler shouted.

Sierra grabbed onto Owen and Owen grabbed onto a pipe. Cody and Alejandro grabbed onto a table. Heather grabbed onto a stray piece of rope connected to a large metal pipe. Izzy was trying to grab a hold of the floor, but it wasn't working.

"Ahhhh! AHHHH! SOMEONE HELP ME!"Izzy cried

Heather held onto the end of the rope and inched her way toward Izzy.

"Izzy! Take my Hand!" Heather shouted. As Izzy was about to grab her hand:

"Heather! Izzy! The rope it's going to-"Alejandro shouted as the rope snapped and the two girls were sucked into the vortex.

"Snap."Alejandro said.

"Izzy! I'm coming!" Owen dived strait into the vortex, what he didn't know was, Sierra was still clinging to him for dear life.

"Owen! Don't!" Sierra cried as Owen plunged head first into the vortex.

"Is he serious?" Cody shouted.

"Shut it off!" Alejandro shouted

They both heard snapping sounds and turned to see the table breaking in two.

"I blame you for this." Alejandro said before the two boys were sucked into the vortex.

As soon as they were, it disappeared leaving the competitors in shock and confusion.

"What the hell just happened?" Gwen asked

The Court of Miracles 1482…

Heather and Izzy were dropped into a hard floor.

"Ugh! Remind me to kill Cody when we find him." Heather said

"Wait, we're alive? We're alive!" Izzy cried for joy

Many spears were pointed at the two girls.

"We're dead." Heather said.

"Where did you two come from?" An elderly woman in odd clothing asked.

"You wouldn't believe us if we told you." Izzy said

"Could you guys tell us where we are and who the heck you guys are?" Heather asked

"You two are trespassing in The Court of Miracles. Home of the Gypsies of Paris." The woman said

"And the penalty for trespassing is death!" A chubby male gypsy said

The two girls clutched each other in fear.

"Wait!" A beautiful woman with tan skin, wavy, shoulder length raven black hair, and emerald green eyes walked up to the group. A goat was by her side. "I'm sure these two girls didn't mean to intrude." The woman said

"Yeah, what she said!" Heather said quickly.

"And I'm certain they could help us. Annabelle and Gertrude were arrested yesterday by Frollo. My God have mercy on them." A moment of silence passed through everyone.

"Well, they're pretty enough. Alright Esmeralda, we'll let you teach them everything you know, but you'll have to let Clopin look at them before they perform." With that the group left. Leaving only Esmeralda and her goat wit Heather and Izzy.

"Wow. We owe you big time." Heather said as her and Izzy stood.

"No you don't. Come, there is much to be taut before Clopin comes back." Esmeralda said

"Who's Clopin and what's to be taught?"Izzy asked

"Clopin is the King of Gypsies and a friend of mine. And I'm going to teach you girls how to dance like a gypsy and how to avoid the guards before." Esmeralda said.

Izzy and Heather actually smiled in delight.

With Cody and Alejandro…

The two had crashed into an alley way.

"Where the heck are we?" Alejandro groaned

"It worked! It worked!" Cody cried happily.

"We have no idea how to get back and we don't know where the others are." Alejandro snapped.

"Ok, a few minor setbacks." Cody said

"I saw the flash of light over here Judge Frollo." A husky voice said from not too far away.

Alejandro looked at Cody with wide eyed expressions.

"Hide." Cody whispered as he and Alejandro ducked behind a few barrels.

"Are you certain you saw something strange over here?" A male voice asked.

"I swear."The voice said

"Maybe you should consider not wearing such a tight helmet." The voice said. They heard the sounds of footsteps walking away. The two boys stumbled out.

"And this is the part of the story where we find disguises." Cody said.

"How about those?" Alejandro pointed up. A clothes line was hanging above them.

A few minutes later…

Cody was dresses in a white shirt, brown vest, and brown felt shoes. Alejandro was still wearing his boots, black pants and a red shirt.

"Ok, now all we have to do is find the others and get the heck out of here and back to our time." Cody said.

"Cody, when exactly did you put us? Cause it looks like they're setting up for some sort of festival." Alejandro observed.

"I don't know. All I know is that a big and horrible event happened this year but there are no records of it."Cody said

"Wonder what that guy over there is talking about?" Alejandro asked glancing over at a man in a court jester's costume.

"I hear music. Maybe he's singing about it. Let's go find out." Cody said as he and Alejandro walked over to the tent where this man was at.

Clopin: Morning in Paris, the city awakes
To the bells of
Notre Dame
The fisherman fishes, the baker man bakes
To the bells of Notre Dame
To the big bells as loud as the thunder
To the little bells soft as a psalm
And some say the soul of the city's
The toll of the bells
The bells of Notre Dame

"This guy is sure obsessed with the cathedral." Alejandro said. Clopin smiled and nodded to acknowledge the new listeners.

Listen, they're beautiful, no?
So many colors of sound, so many changing moods
Because you know, they don't ring all by themselves

Clopin puppet: They don't?

Clopin: No, silly boy.
Up there, high, high in the dark bell tower
lives the mysterious bell ringer.
Who is this creature?

Clopin puppet: Who?

Clopin: What is he?

Clopin puppet: What?
Clopin: How did he come to be there?

"How dumb does this guy think we are?" Cody whispered.

Clopin puppet: How?
Clopin: Hush... (bonks puppet on the head)

Clopin puppet: Ow!

Clopin: and Clopin will tell you.
It is a tale, a tale of a man and a monster.

"This should be good." Alejandro said to Cody while he nodded in agreement. Clopin began his tale once again.

Clopin: Dark was the night when our tale was begun
On the docks near Notre Dame.

Four frightened gypsies slid silently under
The docks near Notre Dame

But a trap had been laid for the gypsies
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
At a figure whose clutches
Were iron as much as the bells

The bells of Notre Dame.

"You got any idea who Clopin is talking?" Alejandro asked

"No. I didn't even know such man existed." Cody said

"Who could he be?" The two boys thought

Clopin: Judge Claude Frollo longed
To purge the world
Of vice and sin

And he saw corruption

Everywhere

Except within.

"Judge Claude Frollo. Didn't a dude try and show a guy named Judge Frollo the vortex we came from?" Cody wondered out loud

"Judge Frollo singled out a gypsy mother, believing she had stolen goods. She ran until Frollo kicked her and she hit her head and died instantly. Frollo discovered that the "Stolen Goods" were a deformed baby boy. He believed that it was a monster from hell. When he tried to drown the baby in a well: "STOP!" cried the archdeacon." Clopin said

"How long does it take to tell this story?" Alejandro sighed in annoyance.

"The Archdeacon told Frollo killing an innocent woman on the steps of Notre Dame, gave him another qualm." Clopin said

Clopin: And for one time in his life
Of power and control

Frollo felt a twinge of fear

For his immortal soul.

"Frollo was forced to raise the child as his own." Clopin explained

Clopin: And Frollo gave the child a cruel name

"Chris McLean?" Cody and Alejandro offered in unison

A name that means half-formed, Quasimodo
Now here is a riddle to guess if you can
Sing the bells of Notre Dame
Who is the monster and who is the man?

Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells of Notre Dame!

"Ok, now that we know the origins of Quasimodo, let's see if we can't find the others." Cody said.

"Wait, you young men are looking for some friends?" Clopin asked suddenly popping up behind them.

"Yeah, we are." Alejandro said. Clopin took a long hard look at the two teenagers before him.

"You two aren't from around here are you?" Clopin asked

"Oh you have no idea." Alejandro muttered.

"Maybe, you'll find your friends at the Feast of Fools! Everyone in Paris will be here." With that Clopin left.

"Shall we look for Sierra and Owen first? Or Heather and Izzy?" Cody offered.

"Heather and Izzy." The two boys then left to go find the two girls.

Bell Tower…

Sierra and Owen landed on the floor with a hard thud.

"Izzy! Where are you Izzy? Owen's here!" Owen cried.

"Owen, I don't think Izzy's here. I think-" Sierra glanced over to see a small, hunchback figure standing in the corner.

"Hi." Sierra said shyly.

"Please, don't hurt me. Please just leave this place." The figure said quietly.

"Oh no. We're sorry if we barged in here, but, we don't know where we are or where are friends are." Sierra said kindly walking over to the figure.

"You heard the man, scram!" A pig like gargoyle shouted to the two teenagers.

"GREAT PYRAMIDS OF GIZA! THE GARGOYLE CAN TALK!" Owen shouted.

"Odd, normally Quasimodo can only hear us." A muscleman gargoyle said.

"Who's Quasimodo?" Owen asked

Sierra turned back to the man. He turned away slightly.

"Are you, Quasimodo?" Sierra asked kindly. The man nodded.

"You don't have to be afraid of us. I'm Sierra and this is my friend Owen." Owen waved as Sierra smiled.

"You… You're not going to hurt me?" Quasimodo stepped into the light. Sierra and Owen now saw that he was a deformed man.

"No, we wouldn't hurt a fly."Owen said

"You kids seem trustworthy enough. Just don't let Frollo see you." A bat like gargoyle said

"Who's Frollo?" Owen asked

"My master." Quasimodo said

"An unpleasant man who always tells Quasi that he's an ugly monster." The muscleman gargoyle said.

"By the way, this is Victor, Hugo, and Laverne. My friends. My only friends." Quasimodo said sadly.

"We're your friends!' Owen said happily.

"You are?" Before anyone could say anymore, they heard footsteps.

"My master's coming." Quasimodo said

"We'll hide them Quasi." Hugo piped in as Victor grabbed Sierra and Laverne grabbed Owen and dragged them behind a huge beam. Big enough for Owen to hide behind.

"I won't tell him you're here." Quasi said as he prepared to greet Frollo.

Sierra and Owen exchanged nervous glances, they had a feeling that they would not like Frollo.

Not the best intro, I know. But, I hope you guys enjoy.
