Enjoy and Review! I love hearing comments and feedback. Thank you!
Terra, Aqua, and Cassandra were on horseback riding through the woods looking for Sora, Roxas and the others when they decided to split up and use Cass's owl to keep in touch. They planned that when they found them to meet at the bridge that leads into the capital. They each went in a different direction and were off.
"I know it's around here, somewhere. Ah, there it is. The Snuggly duckling. Don't worry, very quaint place, perfect for you. Don't want you scaring, and giving up on this endeavor now do we?" Flynn said as he led Rapunzel, Sora, and Kairi towards the Sugling duckling with Dolly and Da Vinci following behind them.
"Hey, Sora. Is it just me or does it sound as if Ryder here is trying to trick us?" Dolly asked the young teen.
"Now that you mention it, yes it does," Sora agreed.
"Maybe we should go somewhere else," Kairi offered.
"What? Come on, the place is called the Snuggly Duckling. How bad can that be?" Flynn tried to argue.
"I agree with Dolly. The place sounds like it could be a place where murder is done," Da Vinci nervously said as she gulped hard.
"See? Even the paint covered dog agrees with me," Flynn said, not knowing what she actually said.
"Well, I do like ducklings." Rapunzel said a little fearfully.
Not far from the Snuggly Duckling Someone was watching them.
"YAY! Garcon, your finest table, please. You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose. Really, let that seep in. What are you getting? Because to me, it's part man smell and the other part is really bad man smell. I don't know why, but overall, it smells like the color brown. Your thoughts?" Flynn Rider said.
"That's a lot of hair." One of the thugs said, in awe over the amount of hair Rapunzel has.
"She's growing it out. Is that blood on your moustache? Goldie, look at this, look at all the blood on his moustache. Look, I'm sure that's a lot of blood. Hey, you don't look so good, Blondie. Maybe we should get you home. Call it a day. Probably better off. This is a five star joint after all. And if you can't handle this place, well maybe you should be back in your tower." Flynn said, trying to get Rapunzel to leave so that he could get back his satchel.
"I haven't been around much, but even I know that there are better places than this," Sora said.
"Yeah. Even our old place was better than this," Dolly muttered.
"We can go, but it has to be somewhere else other than the tower," Kairi agreed.
"Is this you?" Vladimir asked as he showed a wanted poster.
"Ugh, now they're just being mean." Flynn muttered in annoyance, unhappy with the poster and how it portrayed him.
"Oh, it's him all right. Gretta, go find some guards. That reward is going to buy me a new hook." Hook Hand commanded.
"I can use the money." Attila said.
"What about me? I'm broke. GET BACK!" Vladimir yelled.
"Should we say something? I am a prince after all. Maybe I can get them to stop and pardon Flynn" Sora whispered to Kairi.
"I'm pretty sure only your parents can do that," Kairi responded.
"Please, stop!" Rapunzel pleaded.
"We can work this out." Flynn pleaded in desperation as they picked him up.
"Hey, leave him alone." Rapunzel commanded, only for her plea to fall on deaf ears.
"Please." Flynn begged as he was hung up by a hook on the wall.
"Give me back my guide! Ruffians!" Rapunzel yelled out.
"Not the nose, not the nose, not the nose!" Flynn begged.
"Put him down! Okay, I don't know where I am, and I need him to take me to see the lanterns, because I've been dreaming about them my entire life. Find your humanity! Haven't any of you ever had a dream?" Rapunzel questioned.
The thugs gave a glare towards Rapunzel, with Hook Hand approaching her with an axe. Just when it looked like he was going to harm her, he instead said sympathetically, "I had a dream. Once." At this, Hook Hand threw his axe right above a man sitting in a chair with an accordion. Scared, he began to play to the tune of a song. "I'm malicious, mean and scary. My sneer could curdle dairy. And violence-wise my hands are not the cleanest. But despite my evil look, and my temper and my hook. I've always yearned to be a concert pianist." Hook Hand proceeded to play on a piano. "Can'tcha see me on the stage performing Mozart. Tickling the ivories, 'til they gleam. Yep, I'd rather be called deadly. For my killer show-tune medley. Thank you. 'Cause way down deep inside I've got a dream."
Meanwhile, Sora and Kairi were awkwardly dancing off to the side, trying to avoid getting caught and harmed by the thugs. Dolly and Da Vinci were confused at what was going on.
"The last thing I expected to see today was a bunch of people dancing and singing, right Da Vinci?" Dolly asked only to see that the younger pup was getting invested with the song.
"He's got a dream, he's got a dream," The thugs sang.
"See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem. Though I feel like breaking femurs. You can count me with the dreamers. Like everybody else, I've gotta dream," Hook Hand sang.
"I've got scars and lumps and bruises. Plus there's something here that oozes. Let's not even mention my complexion. But despite my extra toes. And my goiter and my nose. I really want to make a love connection. Can't you see me with a special little lady. Rowing in a row boat, down the stream. Though I'm one disgusting blighter. I'm a lover, not a fighter. 'Cause way down deep inside, I gotta dream. I gotta dream, I gotta dream. And I know one day true love will reign supreme. Though my face leaves people screaming. There's a child behind it dreaming. Like everybody else, I've gotta dream." Big Nose sang.
"I've got a dream. I've got a dream. I'd love for my art to be seen! I may be just a pup, but I can tell you I've had enough. Way down deep inside I've got a dream!" Da Vinci sang, much to the confusion of mostly everyone as they couldn't understand her. However, that didn't stop the flow of the song.
"Tor would like to quit and be a florist.
Gunther does interior design.
Ulf is into mime,
Attila's cupcakes are sublime~!
Bruiser knits,
Killer sews,
Fang does little puppet shows." The thugs all sang.
"And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns. What about you?" Hook Hand questioned Flynn.
"I'm sorry me?" Flynn questioned, not quite getting the point.
"What's your dream?" Big Nose demanded.
"No, no, no. Sorry boys, I don't sing." At this, the thugs all brandished their weapons threateningly, forcing Flynn to have to sing. "I have dreams like you, no really. Just much less, touchy-feely. They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny. On an island that I own, tanned and rested and alone. Surrounded by enormous piles of money."
"I have a dream... I have a dream." Rapunzel sang.
"She's got a dream." The thugs sang.
"I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam. And with every passing hour. I'm so glad I left my tower. Like all you lovely folks, I've got a dream." Rapunzel happily sang.
"She's gotta dream, He's gotta dream. They've gotta dream, we've gotta dream. So our differences ain't really that extreme. We're one big team. Call us brutal or sadistic and grotesquely optimistic. 'Cause way down deep inside, we've gotta dream. We gotta dream, I gotta dream. Yes everybody here has got a... Dreeeeeeaaaaamm. Yeah!" The thugs all happily sang out.
Suddenly everyone heard a clapping noise. When everyone looked they saw a man in the corner that only a few recognized.
"Terra!" Sora and Kairi yelped.
"Really? Here? Now? What's next? Dylan? Mom and dad?" Dolly started to get nervous.
"I found the guards." Greno suddenly said as he reentered the bar.
