My Dream Come True- Dream Away & A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hi everyone! How are all of you doing? I hope that all of you are doing well where you are & also putting much effort and passion in what you love to do!
Before I say or do anything else, I want to give praise and honor to the Lord. Thank you God for being with me! Thank you for guiding me through thick and thin & also for helping me to get stronger and better with you and your Son. Thank you Jesus for the wonderful gift of imagination that you gave me upon birth and I hope to use it in your name to the best of my abilities! Also Lord, thank you for the wonderful family I have been blessed to be raised by, the awesome friends I have made both in real life & abroad thanks to places like Fanfiction! Thank you Lord for just everything!
Since my birthday is on March 8th, as shown in my Bio/Profile page, I believed to do something a bit special for myself. And also share it with all of the people who have supported & my works so far that I have put up!
So this goes out to all of the Authors and Reviewers who have enjoyed my Disney/Toho works, supported me in any way possible & also aided me with my other works such as my Danny Phantom & Star Vs. stories. I just hope to do my best and to show the world what I can do!
Also this… I do hope that one day, my dream comes to be reality. My dream of my Monsters and Magic series getting recognized in a very positive way by both Disney and Toho, to be hired by them to work on said Disney/Toho works in the way that I want it to be. In the classic animated style that was done back in the 1980s and 1990s, which I consider to be the Renaissance/Golden Era of Disney & Toho. And for said series to become not just a popular hit, but one that will be considered timeless and classic like the classic Disney works done when Walt Disney himself was still alive!
My dream is also to find that special, sweet and beautiful little lady that is my better half in a lot of ways. And that we compliment and help one another in many ways as well, but that we make the Lord our Chief Cornerstone in all things for the life run.
And my other dream is to one day take my entire family & my friends on a 7-Night Caribbean Disney Cruise with me! Heh, just last year from March 2nd to the 9th, I actually did celebrate my 35th birthday on a Disney Cruise and took my parents with me on it. We all had a blast as we made memories and moments that we will never forget!
On a final note, I would like to personally thank my dear friend Author Dreams Come True 996. She drew for me pictures of my works that are posted on her art site. If you wish to go see them, PM here and she will give you more details. Again, thank you Dreams for doing that! I really appreciate it and you have my gratitude!
Again this, I hope to see someone doing a YouTube review on any of my Disney/Toho works. I really hope to see something like that one day…
I do not own Godzilla, any of the characters or items that officially belong to the Toho Company. I do not own any of the Disney characters or places that officially belong to the Walt Disney Company. I also do not own any named monsters or characters that have come from other companies such as Universal Studios, etc.
Also, NO live-action remakes of any kind are in my stories, not even in this one. I only like/love the classic, original and REAL animated Disney movies and cartoons I grew up with as a kid. These new remakes/reboots of that are up now… no way! This is my stance, and I am sticking to it with conviction!

Now, on with the finale of my dream special here!)
The day was March 8th 2020, and it was a beautiful evening now at Walt Disney World. Twilight was setting now at the park, about 7:30 p.m. to be precise, as the sun was sinking in the horizon while the night started to take over. A brilliant yellow-orange glow slowly faded away as it was replaced gradually by the velvet purple-dark colors of the night as the stars started to twinkle into existence as the near-full moon shone brilliantly for all to see. The temperature was cool and lightly breezy to make it very comfortable for humans.
While the parks were getting ready for the night, one of them in particular was getting ready for a big event. It was the Magic Kingdom, many would say to be the very core & heart of Disney World out of all of the other parks. The patrons of the establishment were getting food and drinks to eat while they started to situate themselves near the iconic & legendary place known to all as Cinderella Castle.
The reason for this was due to a special event that would start at 9:00 p.m. This particular one only occurred in the months of March, April and May. It was the Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale Spectacular, a unique live-show that played out the scenes from the famous Disney/Toho movie Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale! It was among the most popular shows in the entire parks, at least according to polls and such.
But this particular show had a special feature that would only occur on this very night. It was due to it being the 36th birthday of the one who created the Monsters and Magic series in 2014, which said series was going on strong even to this day. And also the one who revived the House of Mouse series by bringing together a vast majority of the Disney characters, Toho stars & also other beings from various other shows.
The person was Daniel E. Rodriguez Jr., or DJ Rodriguez for short! The young man from San Antonio who made the series was actually sitting in a prime location near the castle… and he was not alone!
With him was his entire family; his mother & father, his sisters along with their husbands & children, his cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmother and more were with him as they had Reserved places near the grand building that was from the classic Disney movie Cinderella.
But it didn't end there! DJ also brought his friends who were located all over the planet! They were his Author friends, the ones who had aided him greatly in his quest to make his story series a reality. He had invited them and any friends/family members they wanted to bring with them to the Magic Kingdom.
They were Authors Dreams Come True 996, Japan Boy, Kearitona Sjachraelgil, Rose Spooks, SaurusRock625, Darkness Rissing, cornholio4, DRAGONDAVE45, Elfire, LORD DESTRYUK, NaruHinaProductions2014, laze jovanov, GODZILLA1996, Tiger2014, King of 2211, Cylon One, AdventureKing2017, Kaiju-O Danny, AUNBRIE, pokemonsora01, superkoola, Mickol93, Data Seeker, OmniKamiUltraInstinct2020, detheroc, Blue Marvel 0, anime-death-angel, jakemon248, Titanzilla, GUGK, Kaiju Avenger, Gojira Defender and more were present there! Their friends and family included as well!
And they were not the only ones that were watching the event.
Back in the animated world, many Disney & non-Disney characters were at the House of Mouse building as they were watching the events that were unfolding in the real world. It was all of the guests that had joined in the 2nd Annual Disney/Toho Kaiju Music Video Awards event from December 2019! Every hero/heroine, villain/villainess, sidekick/partner and minor character was there!
Horace Horsecollar, Nozomi the Multi-Dimensional Rock Head singer & dancer and Robecca Steam from Monster High had managed to locate and lock onto the signal that allowed the various screens in the club to showcase what was happening in the real-reality world. Many OC creations from the various Authors that DJ invited to the special event were also present at the club, as they were curious to see on what would occur.
Among the newcomers were the Powerpuff Girls from the Cartoon Network realm! There was Blossom the red-garbed leader of the trio of heroines & gifted in using elemental attacks, Bubbles the cute blue-garbed blonde sweet one who is gifted with speaking any kind of tongue & finally Buttercup the green-garbed brunette who was a powerhouse yet also had a sensitive side if one could find it. She was gifted in learning all kinds of martial arts. With them was Professor Utonium, the scientists who had created the trio of little cuties from scratch & also their father. Included was Kindergarten teacher Ms. Keane, the beloved instructor at Pokey Oaks Kindergarten school.
It was happening in the Toho universe as well, for Monster Island was filled to the brim with the various Toho legendary giant monsters from each era! G-Force had managed to build a LARGE video screen so the kaiju could see clearly what was happening in the real world.
Resuming to the present, DJ turned his head everywhere to see his family & friends there. He was very joyful that all had managed to come to see what was about to occur soon in front of the castle at the place that had the moniker Most Magical Place on Earth. He looked to his friend Dreams and told her, "This is amazing! I'm very glad that you decided to come! And also in bringing your best friend Honorata and her family with you as well! I hope they have liked the park so far!".
The female Author grinned and replied, "She sure did! In fact, I think ALL of us here enjoyed our time in the park! I mean, this is Walt Disney World & the Magic Kingdom! What's not to like about any of it?!". She and her family, plus her friend and her family, got to see the entire park from the moment the gates opened up. DJ had made sure to give all he invited special VIP passes that allowed them to get discounts at stores, food courts & also to be in the fast lines that led to certain Disney characters to meet and greet.
Keara looked to her beau and asked, "So DJ, what is it that you wanted us to see that you invited all of us here? I'm a bit curious about it ever since we came to the park.".
The young Hispanic man grin went up a bit more as he answered his lady love, "You'll just have to wait and see, sweetheart. But trust me on this! I believe it will be worth the wait!".
She accepted that, though the anticipation was building up very much within her. It was apparent too in Dreams and the various other Authors as they were now either standing or sitting in front of the large castle. DJ told them that before the main even would start at 9:00 p.m., a special would come up at 8:30 p.m. that would happen only on his birthday.
So all were now waiting to see on what it was. Some did go to the stores that were behind them to get some souvenirs, food or drink. While others talked and mingled with one another, friendship bonds forming as the guests interacted more with each other.
Soon, it became 8:15 p.m. when an announcement was made over the PA system. A man's voice announced in English for all to hear, "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE PRE-SHOW SPECIAL THAT WILL OCCUR AT CINDERELLA CASTLE WILL BEGIN IN FIFTEEN MINUTES! AFTER THE SPECIAL, THE MAIN SHOW WILL BEGIN SHORTLY AFTER IT! FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO SEE THE SPECIAL, PLEASE HEAD OVER TO THE CASTLE! WE HOPE YOU ENJOY IT & WANT TO THANK YOU FOR COMING TO THE MAGIC KINGDOM!".
The announcement was made again but in various languages; a woman's voice did the announcement in Spanish and French when the man's voice came on again but this time to proclaim the announcement in German and Polish. Already, many patrons in the park were finding anywhere to either sit or stand to see what was to be starting in just fifteen minutes.
Many of the men, women and children in the park were now scrambling to find a good view on what was to occur soon! It was fortunate for DJ and his rather large entourage of guests that they already had prime seating arrangements.
The time soon came, 8:30 p.m. arriving with the lights everywhere around Main Street U.S.A., Liberty Square, Adventureland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland dimmed considerably as special lights came forth to illuminate the castle! The audience cheered loudly as the event was about to begin!
Coming on the elevated stage first were the legendary Disney women that were featured in DJ's third novel Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale, the bonded of Godzilla and his adopted son Godzilla Junior! Appearing in order was Cinderella, Ariel, Tracy, Melody, Rapunzel, Tinkerbell, Anna, Elsa, Alice, Regina, Lady Beneditka and Fairy Godmother Cateline. All were wearing special microphone pieces that were extremely well-concealed on their heads, allowing their voices to be amplified over the speakers so that everyone in the area could hear them.
Cinderella called out, "Hello everyone! It's good to see you all here at the Magic Kingdom on this very special night!". The audience cheered loudly for the silver colored dressed blonde beauty, many fans of hers waving at the queen.
Ariel put in, "And this night is very special for a good reason. For tonight only, right here in the 'Most Magical Place on Earth'… we celebrate the 36th birthday of the one who created the Monsters and Magic series who is here with us right now!".
Melody exclaimed, "So give it up everyone for DJ Rodriguez!". The patrons all over the area cheered loudly as a spotlight was put on said young man, who turned and waved to everyone as a grin was on his face that seemed to light up brighter than the light that was on him now. Melody urged DJ to come up to the stage, which he nodded joyfully before being escorted by two employees to the stage & to the lovely ladies.
When he arrived on the platform, he greeted all of the ladies with warm hugs. Once he was had hugged all of them, he got down to one knee like a gentlemen before Cinderella. He did this whenever he did go to visit the theme parks of Disney & to the Disney female characters, as in his view he wanted to show love and honor to them. The audience clapped & cheered loudly at this, some of the ladies in the crowd looking to the men in their lives and playfully teasing them to show them kind of courtesy.
Once he rose back to his feet, DJ thanked them for the honor. Elsa stated, "It is no problem, DJ! It's the least we could do after all that you have done for Disney and Toho. Even after all these years have passed, I still find it amazing that you were able to fuse both Disney and Toho together like you did with your stories.".
Anna added, "Yeah! And also those House of Mouse specials you did that got everyone watching and interacting much more than worldwide… it was incredible!". The patrons that were watching the interaction agreed with the sister of Elsa, as those who did watch said programs found them to be very interesting and entertaining.
DJ stated, "Thank you, but most of the credit goes to those who helped me out immense! Like my family for encouraging me to use the gift of imagination that God gave to me & also the Authors who also supported and helped me immensely with my works. So let me share the honor and glory with them! Everyone, say hello to the ones who really supported me all the way! Come on, give it up for them!".
He pointed to the ground where his entire group was at, multiple spotlights going on his family, friends & the various Authors. The audience cheered loudly for all of them, many waving to them while some opted to try and shrink shyly from the limelight. After a few moments, the spotlights turned from the group back to the ones on the stage.
Tracy said, "You really do like to spread the wealth, don't you DJ? And that is more than okay with me!".
Fairy Godmother Cateline put in, "And now in honor of your birthday & also in appreciation for helping Disney and Toho so much… we like to show you something spectacular while playing a couple of songs that we believe you and the others here at the park will like very much.".
Now this got many curious to see on what was going to happen…
Tinkerbell exclaimed, "Okay everyone, let's do this! Hit it!".
A familiar musical piece started to pick up, followed by words that got the crowd REALLY excited as cheers rose up for all to hear! On the castle, a scene appeared that was from the Monsters and Magic movies! The first to show was the book that was made by Dreams, which was the very first Monsters and Magic story! As the book opened up like in the very classic Disney movies of old, the scene changed to show the four ships that was shown in the movie that had familiar sails on them.
Ariel and the others encouraged some of DJ's group to come on stage to dance with them, many bold family members & Authors going to the stage to show their stuff to the entire park… the entire world! You see, the entire event was being televised live for ALL those watching in their various comfortable spots to see!
A dream is a wish…
Yeah, yeah!
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep!
As the lyrics and song flowed forth, DJ and the brave ones now on stage with him and the Disney ladies started to move and groove to the beat. On the castle, more clips showed from the movie as it displayed for all to see Melody & her parents meeting the other legendary Disney couples as they came on dock with their children. It soon fast-forwarded, showing the scene where the children interacted and learned about one another until they saw something in the sky fall down to Earth and land in the forest.
In both the Disney & Toho universe, the ones watching the event taking place also started to dance! Danny was quickly taken by all three heroines from Townsville to dance, Dani flew to move with her new beau Peter Pan, Utonium and Keane also started to move with the music, Duncan and his new flame Clawdeen were also getting down, and more! Even the various Godzilla's from the unique eras started to move their bodies to the music, which stunned some of them including Battra.
In dreams you will lose your heartache
Whatever you wish for, you keep!
Have faith in your dreams and someday…
Your rainbow will come smiling through!
The castle soon displayed the clip where Melody and her new friends ran into Monster bandit gang along with their leader Shadowsneak. The kids were soon chased through the forest and seemingly corned… until the arrival of the Toho monsters! Although shrunk, they still retained the quality and fierceness that made them formidable! Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and Anguirus arriving to save the night and the children from their fate!
On stage, DJ and the others were still moving to the music & the young man soon started to dance with one of the ladies as he took Ariel in his arms for a bit to dance with. The others also started to dance with the characters in their own way as well! His nieces Isabel Molina and Lily Vela, the ones who inspired him to make the characters that were in the novels/movies, were smiling brightly as they danced with their chosen heroines/role models. Lily was dancing with Cinderella, Isabel with Elsa. His nephew Isaac Molina, Isabel's big brother, was also on stage with them as he danced with Rapunzel.
No matter how your heart is grieving,
If you keep on believing…
The dream that you wish will come true!
As the song and music started to pick up in beat and tempo, the ones on stage were dancing now more with life as the audience started to clap and sing along with the song! On the castle, the film now showed the part where Godzilla and the others fought against the bandits & defeated them. It also showed the part where the kaiju were being looked over and treated by the others, such as Melody and Tracy inspecting Godzilla & Kathrin looking over the caterpillar form of Mothra.
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're feeling small!
Alone in the night, you whisper
Thinking no one can hear you at all!
Hear you at all!
DJ and his friends & family members danced with the legendary stars, the goofy Hispanic man breaking away from Ariel just a bit to show off some supposed dance moves that got the audience laughing at him in his antics. The others saw this and did the same, but DJ didn't care. In fact, he loved it that he was able to make them laugh even though he didn't have smooth dancing moves to show off. He was grinning like the kid who was just so filled with joy at being part of something special and just enjoying the moment. His nieces, nephews and other family members & friends laughed loudly, and for him it was music to his ears.
On the castle front, the clips showed the kids at the secret beach Sanctuary that was now a temporary dwelling for Godzilla and the others. And showing how Melody and the others were learning more about them.
You wait for the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you!
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know tomorrow…
The dream that you wish will come true!
The castle soon showed the parts where the royal children went into town to get some food for their new friends, Melody meeting with her future husband Oliver/Olujimi & Dianne meeting her future love Hadrian/Hazael. It fast-forwarded to where the mothers of the children met the Toho legends, and soon started to bond with them the same way they did with the young ones. And went forward yet again to where the royal adults made it so that the children of the village came with them to meet the titans from another universe. To Godzilla and the others, it was entirely different for them to be on the positive receiving end of human affection like so.
On the stage, the various family members and Author friends of DJ were also showing their unique dance moves as well for all the world to see. Back in the animated world, the various cartoon characters all laughed and smiled as they enjoyed the show. The OC creations of the Authors that were on stage were grinning at seeing their creators just being so lively now.
When you can dream, than you can start!
A dream is a wish you make with your heart!
When you can dream, than you can start!
A dream is a wish you make with your heart!
The building that was the icon of the Magic Kingdom displayed for all to see the part where Godzilla and the others battled against the wolves and bears that had followed their bonded & village children into Sanctuary. And it soon fast-forwarded after the beings from another universe were victorious, going to the part on Melody's birthday where it was interrupted by the bandit gang again… and the former giant monsters once again coming onto the scene to save their bonded ones! And this time, with the children aiding them to take down Shadowsneak and his group for good!
On the stage platform, the Disney ladies were now showing some special moves of their own and soon got the audience cheering & applauding louder than ever! It proved that no matter how timeless one is, they still got the talent to impact today's generation!
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep!
In dreams, you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for you keep!
The ones on stage were still moving to the beat, the bold and fearless Authors who were on stage with the others showing they had passion and soul in their moves as they followed along with the music and lyrics.
On the beautifully intricate castle structure, it showed the part were Maleficent and the other kaiju that had been summoned to the Disney world by said evil sorceress had arrived! The parents being kidnapped, forcing the shrunken Godzilla and the others to retreat with their bonded children & the rest of the citizens. It soon showed the part where Melody was high up in one of the trees that she and the others were hiding in, looking sad and thoughtful on what to do now.
You wait for the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you!
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know tomorrow…
The dream that you wish will come true!
The castle now displayed the part where Fairy Godmother Cateline and others arrived to help the royal ones & monsters, the rescue team coming in just in time! The scene skipped to show the royal parents being set free & all of the families coming together with their allies to head forth to take down Maleficent and her minions!
On the stage, the characters and their special guests were still giving quite a show to the audience watching them. And also to the ones that were seeing their performance in the animated world.
No matter how your heart is grieving,
If you keep on believing…
The dream that you wish will come true!
The family members and friends down below on the stage were cheering loudly for DJ and the others, many filming the entire scene with either their phone cameras or real cameras. The patrons all over that were watching the scene were also taking either videos or pictures as cameras clicked all over.
The film continued onward, showing the part now where the various groups were now battling against their chosen foes. It soon displayed for all to see Godzilla and the children taking on Shadowsneak as he had been changed/enhanced by Maleficent's power! It showcased the internal battle Ariel was going through the moment she touched the corrupted trident and fighting the evil magic in the Soul Realm!
Yeah, yeah!
A dream is a wish!
At this particular point, everyone in the House of Mouse was getting down with the song & lyrics as they just all cut loose! Danny was still being monopolized by the cute ladies from Townsville, Valerie smirking and teasing on the Fenton lad that his 'charm' once again was at work. He merely smiled at her and replied that perhaps she would like to get his charm full force on their next date, prompting the African-American beauty to blush immensely and stutter. Duncan and Clawdeen were really burning up the dance floor with the other couples in the dinner theater club along with the other OC's of the various Authors.
Back in the real-reality world, the castle now showed the part where Ariel was able to succeed in defeating the tainted evil that stained the trident as it was restored to its brilliance! Then it showed the other members of Good defeating the pumped-up minions of Maleficent, with the princes still doing battle against said sorceress… and finally the part where Godzilla rose up from the depths of the sea with Cinderella, Melody, Tracy and Ariel in his clawed hand as he was restored back to regular size and full power!
When you can dream, then you can start!
A dream is a wish you make with your heart!
When you can dream, then you can start!
A dream is a wish you make with your heart!
The audience was really getting into the spirit, just like the characters and special guests on the stage. DJ went over and danced with his nieces, Lily and Isabel laughing with smiles on their faces as they danced with their uncle. The Authors continued to show their stuff on the stage, displaying for all that they had the skills! It was the same back in the animated and Toho world, as the many characters continued to groove to the classic beat!
The scene showed the Toho kaiju duking it out with one another, soon switching to show the fight that took place between all the forces of Good against Evil. It soon displayed the fight between Ariel and Maleficent, followed by the downfall of each of the giant monsters that was under Maleficent's control.
(Make with your heart)
When you can dream, (Whoo!) then you can start!
A dream is a wish you make with your heart!
When you can dream, then you can start!
A dream is a wish you make with your heart!
On the castle, the movie played to show Maleficent turning into her new & more powerful form… the two-headed Supreme Dragon! She managed to easily defeat the Toho legends, but then at a part during the movie were all the characters started to pray for their heroes and heroine… the castle, the stage and all certain places of the area started to glow in an electric-blue glow! And that is when everyone saw on the building the revival of the other giant monsters, followed by Godzilla whose eyes glowed a powerful blue color before roaring loudly that echoed throughout the area as it even pierced through the song!
Back in the animated world, Melody and the others were grinning as they all saw this part. The bonded of Heisei-era Godzilla spoke with pride, "My friend loves to make a comeback in style!". And she was not just referring to when said mutated saurian was back up on his feet as shown now on the castle.
When you can dream, then you can start!
A dream is a wish you make with your heart!
When you can dream, then you can start!
A dream is a wish you make with your heart!
The audience and Disney characters were now cheering as they saw on the castle the part where each of the Toho legends unleashed their devastating Finishing Blows on Supreme Dragon… with Godzilla finishing it with his new move, the Pristine Breath! However, it soon led to seeing the behemoths giving a part of themselves away before leaving the Disney universe to go back to their own.
But something was changed as now after the Toho kaiju left the Disney world, a flash of gold appeared and displayed for all to see was the movie versions of Lily and Isabel! Their parents and other family members started to take pictures and such as they saw the real-live little ladies looking at their animated counterparts.
When you can dream, then you can start!
A dream is a wish you make with your heart!
When you can dream, then you can start!
A dream is a wish you make with your heart!
For the finale, the castle showed the part where Isabel and Lily in the film were looking at the Godzilla skin patch that was bestowed to his bonded… and the book that was designed by Dreams Come True 996 herself was on display for all to see! DJ looked to said young lady and stated, "Your work of art for all to see, my friend!". She blushed heavily as she was smiling with a good kind of pride and joy in her heart.
The clip showed the book than opening up… and appearing in gold was the famous Disney/Toho insignia for Monsters and Magic! And the castle was soon covered completely with the symbol that was a merger of both companies… and the skies were light up in gold, blue and white fireworks as all looked up in awe at the sight!
When you can dream, then you can start!
A dream is a wish you make with your heart!
When you can dream, then you can start!
A dream is a wish you make with your heart!
The spectacle had everyone looking up towards the heavens as the dazzling display of fireworks commenced! As the music started to fade now as it was nearing the end, a set of fireworks came on in perfect sequence to streak in the sky… forming a golden circle followed by another pair of fireworks that formed two small circles, taking shape with the larger one to display for even a few seconds Mickey's head and ears! It was finished up with a set of blue fireworks that exploded with expert timing to form briefly the Toho kanji symbols!
The audience soon cheered loudly for the music, the dance, the movie clips shown on Cinderella's Castle & the amazing fireworks display that was always the showstopper after an event!
DJ and his family members plus friends looked out to the immense crowd that was cheering for them & the Disney ladies, said famous characters waving to everyone while also congratulating them on a wonderful performance. The young Hispanic man grinned and waved to everyone, the others doing the same since as of now… they were stars just like the Disney family!
Cinderella and the others went and personally congratulated the group, giving DJ's family & Author friend's hugs or shaking hands as they wanted to really thank them for joining them. DJ hugged Anna and said to her, "Now this was cool! Thank you so much, o fiery sister of the Ice Queen!". The young actress giggled and replied that it was her and the others pleasure.
Back in the animated universe & Toho realm, the others were cheering loudly for the ones that had danced on stage & for the amazing part they just witnessed. Ember looked to her friend & fellow band member Stitch and stated, "Now that was hot! Especially the fireworks! What do you think, little guy?".
Experiment 626 grinned, bringing out all four arms and stating, "Four thumbs up, baby! Hahahahahaha!".
After the fireworks ended, DJ and the others were soon escorted back down below to their place in front of the castle with their family and friends. The group was soon congratulated enthusiastically by them, hugs and kisses from parents & loved ones along with slaps on the back were given to the bold and daring ones who went up there.
Rapunzel asked, "Hey everyone, did you like that one!?". Her response was another roar of positive answers from the crowd, the long-haired beauty grinning as she liked the reaction from the crowd.
Fairy Godmother Cateline soon announced, "Well, that was marvelous and we glad you all enjoyed it! And now, here is the final segment. This last song is really for DJ and those like him."
Lady Beneditka picked up, "DJ Rodriguez worked hard and long, never giving up hope that his stories would be given life in the way he envisioned. He was blocked and challenged in many areas, but thanks to advice from his family & friends as well as help from others… his dream came to be and has taken form for all of us here to watch and enjoy!".
Said young man was blushing from the praise he was shown, but a large grin was on his face.
Tinkerbell said, "So this last song is not only for DJ, but for those who dream and let their imaginations take them places that gives their hope for a better future!".
It was then that music came up from the speakers all around, a majority of the patrons confused on what it was since it didn't seem like a Disney tune. But those like DJ and others knew what it was… it was the song from the underrated yet potent movie The Pagemaster! The lights dimmed down as the castle was once again bathed in light to show film clips. This time… it was from the second book that DJ wrote, which was Monsters and Magic: Divide and Unite!
When this world, the real-life, world you're living in
Just gets too much for you to take…
When you find too many troubles on your mind,
And feel just like there's no escape…
The Disney characters on the stage started to sway and move to the alluring melody as soon as it came on, showing to the world a style & grace that was just amazing to witness.
The castle displayed for all to see the start of the movie, where it featured the places were the story would begin in the Disney universe. Showing the land of Arendelle, shifting to show the queens Anna & Elsa atop North Mountain. The desert land of Agrabah, with Sultan Aladdin & Sultana Jasmine playing with their children in the city who were now considered young adults. The old tower of Rapunzel that had been her home for so many years, showing said queen of the realm in her short brown-hair form. The massive tree in Neverland that was known as Pixie Hollow to the residents of the magical land, soon showing Tinkerbell with her friends. And finally the town of Louisiana in the United States, still growing and forming to soon become something more in the future. It than shifted to show the bayou and the form of the apprentice to the current Voodoo Queen of the swamp, Mama Odie!
The clip soon showed what happened at the castle where Hans was under house arrest, him finding all ten Elemental Omni-Crystals and summoning the Master Crystal… who in turn answered the villains call in summoning powerful ones to enslave to his will to get revenge on those who imprisoned him!
The soft yet powerful song and voice moved the audience as they seemingly swayed to it, those who remembered the movie it came from smiling as the tribute event continued. Back in the animated world, the characters from said movie were looking proud. Especially the books known as Adventure, Horror and Fantasy.
And it seems your heart's forgotten how to believe
Turn a page in your soul!
There's a place you can go!
Close your eyes and let your heart fly free!
Many in the audience started to feel the message that was in the song itself. Many remembered on how the real world sometimes got too much for them to handle due to a number of things, and how back as children, they sought escape from it by reading books or seeing movies that let their imaginations soar and take them places. And for others, said reading materials and movies inspired them to dream of a bright future.
The castle than showed the part where Godzilla and his small adopted son Little Godzilla were fighting against Space Godzilla & Showa-era Gigan, than Jet Jaguar and King Caesar showing up to aid the King of the Monsters. The film soon displayed the Toho legends once again getting summoned to the Disney universe once more, but the influx of different energies inside the column caused an explosion for the immense monsters to be shrunk again & this time scattered throughout the Disney planet Earth!
The film was edited for this event to showcase the moments were Godzilla fell to North Mountain to meet Elsa and Anna, Jet Jaguar to land in the bayou swamps to aid Mama Odie & her teacher/friend Radelle, Little Godzilla to Rapunzel's tower home where he met the queen herself along with Tinkerbell and her friends from Neverland & finally King Caesar crashing into the desert where he was found by the royal family of Agrabah.
{Dream away! Dream away!
Let imagination light your way!
Take you this far as your heart can see!}
DJ smiled as he remembered the time when he wrote all of his works; letting the powerful gift of imagination that was given to him by the Lord Himself when he was being created just take off in a way that still amazes him to today. He remembered just writing away whenever the world he envisioned, the crossover of Disney and Toho, two of his favorite things he loved very much as a child, just surged into his mind. And he wrote it all down, making sure to proof-read as best he could be posting it up for all to see. And how many liked his stories, and how he gradually improved his writing as time went on.
The family members, friends, Authors and more were also reminiscing on the times in the past where they dreamed of something strong as well. Such as a better for future for themselves and others, of hope that they would rise up to be recognized or merely dreaming to escape from the harsh ways of reality.
The castle soon displayed where the monsters started to bond once again to the Disney beings that they met; Godzilla with Anna and Elsa in the depths of North Mountain with Lady Beneditka watching on, Little Godzilla with the pixies and Rapunzel whose hair grew long and blonde once more as the radiation field from the small mutated saurian stimulated the magic within them in a very potent way, King Caesar defending Aladdin and his family from the Claw Crushers bandit gang & Jet Jaguar saving the lives of Aubert LaBouff, Magali Macaire and Skylar Truman who were going to be the future grandparents of Tiana and Charlotte!
{Dream away! Dream away!
To a place where hope is shining!
Find your silver lining!
Everything you need is just a dream away!}
At the Toho universe, Godzilla and many others were moving & swaying to the enchanting melody and song. At the House of Mouse, many of the Disney & non-Disney characters also moved to the soft yet strong song. Danny was soon held by Dora and Desiree, sandwiched between the two beauties as they remembered the dreams they had from long ago. To find that special someone & also to be free from the curses that hounded them when they were spirits. And that they were freed by the one that the two adored very much, which was Danny Fenton.
Back in the real world, the castle showed the footage of Godzilla and the others now being taken care of by their new bonded ones as they were kept out of sight by others. Many females in the entire place cooed and laughed at seeing Little Godzilla being taken care of by Rapunzel and the pixies, and many laughed as they saw the part of Godzilla getting his mouth on fire after eating some of Anna's over-spiced steaks. The laughter continued as they saw Genie using a parade to get King Caesar inside the palace while making him pretend that he was a statue. And cheering when Jet Jaguar was now with Mama Odie, Radelle and the kids he rescued.
Remember when a dream could take you anywhere?
Just a wish, anything could be!
When the farthest star was one more star you could reach!
Take a look in your heart 'cause that is where dreams are where it starts!
Anything is real if you just believe!
Those who were classic Disney fans felt that this song connected more to their favorite movies from the past. Like Pinocchio who wanted to be a real boy, Cinderella for wanting to find love and a better life for herself, Aurora to find the man that would complete her in so many good ways, Snow White to be free from her stepmother & to be with the prince of her dreams… and many more! That all of their adventures started out with dreams and wishes, and how they all fell into place when they acted on it along with the results that followed their every decision. On both themselves and the ones that helped them out immensely.
The audience were treated now to the sight of Godzilla and the others soon emerging to save their bonded from threats that rose up again! The mutated saurian defending Anna, Elsa, Regina and Alice from the Rock Wyrm beast, Little Godzilla in his first battle against local bandits in the woods with the help of Tinkerbell and her friends, King Caesar against the Claw Crushers again but this time also introducing Fa Meihui and Mushu into the fray & finally Jet Jaguar revealing himself to save his bonded by turning into a giant!
After that, the castle showed Hans with his new minions of Space Godzilla and Gigan as they started to head towards where his eldest brother King Hrok was at.
{Dream away! Dream away!
Let imagination light your way!
Take you this far as your heart can see!}
DJ looked to his family and Author friends hoping they were enjoying the event as much as he was. He really started to remember as he dreamed and acted a lot on his imagination, the good and bad times where his overactive imagination did get him into trouble and teased a lot. But he didn't care, and that his imagination grew with him. He did regret a lot of things that he missed as he continued on through life, but that was all in the past. Now, he had a future to look forward to… and was more than hopeful that his dreams would all come to pass soon!
The castle than displayed where Hans had reached his destination, this time bringing along some enforcements that was the Claw Crushers! But the villain's part was cut short as the arrival of the heroes & heroines showed! Little Godzilla was first, followed by Godzilla, King Caesar and finally Jet Jaguar! The Toho legends were back to full size and strength as they tackled the two space monsters while their bonded and their allies took on Hans and his army!
{Dream away! Dream away!
To a place where hope is shining!
Find your silver lining!
Everything you need is just a dream away!}
The audience was captivated as the Disney starlets on stage continued to dance and sway to the music with a charm and class that could only come from top-quality Disney style and form.
The castle now showed to all the part where Hans was fighting against the heroes and heroines that had come to save Hrok's kingdom from the attack caused by Hans. And soon… displayed for all to see the part were Hans had overused the Master Crystal, causing him to be slowly turned to crystal himself & being devoured by the magical dragon construct.
Back in the House of Mouse, everyone looked to a fuming ex-prince who did not like to remember that part in the movie where his own greed and wanting was his own downfall. Jazz put in, "And so in the classic tried and true way, the villain is vanquished due to his own pride and foolishness.". This caused snickers to go all around while Hans, and those like him, just gave the evil eye to the daughter of Jack and Maddie Fenton.
All it takes is faith to make your dreams come true
And somewhere in this world, they'll be somebody
To share your dreams with you!
The audience was now witnessing on the castle the part where Maleficent emerged from Space Godzilla, and soon she along with the monsters captured the Toho legends in crystal prisons & started to lay waste to the castle! But the heroes and heroines of the story did not give up or give in, fighting harder to push back the forces of evil and free their large friends! Men, women and children cheered as they all saw this, especially the part where Godzilla and the others got freed from their prison and fought with vigor against Space Godzilla while the others managed to separate Maleficent from her.
Edd put in, "That was a simple but ingenious plan to separate the sorceress from her host monster. Like removing a parasite from its target.". Maleficent glowered, offended that she was referred as a mere parasite like a tick or cuckoo bird. She looked prepared to zap the cap-wearing genius of the cul-de-sac, but Nazz went to be a shield for her beau! Showing to all that she was quite bold for someone her age.
{Dream away! Dream away!
Let imagination light your way!
Take you as far as your heart can see!}
DJ and the others looked to see the defeat of Maleficent, Space Godzilla and Gigan. The audience cheered loudly at this, but also a bit sad as Godzilla and the others were soon returned back to their own universe. However, the castle now displayed the movie forms of Isabel and Lily as they went into explore the ruins of Arendelle Castle. The real Isabel and Lily looked to their uncle, still stunned that he would put them his story like so. He just smiled at them and told them that he wanted to be sure that they were in it, so why not as explorers like the character Indiana Jones?
The clip showed the duo finding what they were looking for, which was another piece of Godzilla that was given to Anna and Elsa before he left. And in front of it was a book, again designed by Dreams. The book showed the cover which displayed the words Monsters and Magic: Divide and Unite, and said object opened up to once again show the iconic insignia of the series!
{Dream away! Dream away!
To a place where hope is shining!
Find your silver lining!
Everything you need is just a dream…
Just a dream… away!}
When this particular part happened, the Disney characters on stage did a dramatic flourish to the castle and sky… and that is when the fireworks erupted one more time in spectacular fashion! Gold, ice-blue, brown and green colored explosions lit the sky as the patrons of the park looked up to see the wonderful spectacle! On the castle, it showed the picture of DJ now… but with his family and friends in a picture!
It displayed for all to see that DJ's dream of turning his series into a real Disney & Toho classic like he envisioned became a reality, and so much more! But it was that he had a lot of help from his family members & fellow Authors whom he met on a story site. And now, he wanted to share the special moment with all on his b-day.
When the song ended, the fireworks ended and the spotlights focused on the Disney characters... followed by Heisei-era Godzilla's roar that echoed throughout all the land! The audience brought up a great cheer after the roar, for the stars as they bowed to everyone. DJ and those that truly remembered the song from the movie of their childhoods cheered the loudest! After a few moments, the spotlight was focused on Ariel as she rose up from her bow and looked towards all.
She exclaimed, "Thank you everyone for being here and liking our little special event before the main show, which will start now in ten minutes!". This brought another cheer as the main event was the reason that many came in the first place, many considering it to be the best out of the other shows that were shown in the other parks.
The mature beauty smiled and looked down to where DJ and the others were at. She stated, "And also, we would like to thank DJ and his family and friends. Without them, none of this would be possible. Not the Monsters and Magic series, the House of Mouse specials shown… nor all of the wonderful things that followed that are now a part of the parks. So DJ Rodriguez, everyone… thank you! Everyone, let's hear it for them!".
The crowd let out a cheer that could be heard for perhaps a mile or so, many patrons showing their gratitude to the Rodriguez lad, his family and his many Author friends! The young man smiled wide as he waved to everyone, turning his head to see his family members & his friends doing the same.
He thought, 'I truly owe a lot to them for supporting and helping me! But the one I owe all to, and I mean really all to… is the Lord! So thank you Jesus for helping me to make my dream a reality! And also bringing more people back to you as best I could! Thank you God for everything and I hope to continue to do more in your name!'.
The Disney ladies bowed to everyone before going off the stage to rest for a bit before the main event started. DJ and his entourage made themselves comfortable now for the main show which would be starting soon!
In the animated & Toho world, the characters cheered as well for the event they just witnessed & how DJ and the others were honored for their efforts. Mickey and the others, both Disney and non-Disney characters, wanted to do something to surprise them the next time they came back to the animated world for a visit. And also to collaborate more with the Toho universe so they could get the titans of legends to come.
All in all, it was an excellent night for the birthday man!
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it! This is truly the finale for the special right here! I hope you all enjoyed it because I sure did!
Before I say or do anything, I want to give praise and honor to the Lord! Thank you Jesus for letting me to celebrate my 36th birthday! Not too shabby. I still got a lot to learn and do, but with you guiding me and correcting me when I need it God, I believe I will do fine as long as I obey and follow you. So thank you Lord again for my family, my friends and those that are sadly not with me in person… but at least in spirit and in my heart! And that they are with you!
So I consider this a birthday present to myself, but I wanted to share it with all of those who supported me so far. So I went back to my others stories and specials to see the reviewers who got my back & aided me in my writings. It was a lot, and I hope that I got most of you as best as I could! Also, I hope to see reviews from LORD DESTYRUK on certain Disney/Toho works.
And I really do hope and dreams will be made reality. I will work as hard as I can to make it so! But also keep the dream alive and thriving, to not let it be withered away at all.
Also, I will work on another Disney/Toho movie special chapter & it will be a Showa-era movie! Along with some surprises that I hope you all like!
Finally, here are the questions! Ahem…
If you were at the Magic Kingdom park, what would you be doing before the show time of the special event? And if you could get souvenirs, what would you get from there?
Would you be bold enough to go on stage to dance with DJ and the others in front of everyone at Cinderella Castle? And if so, what kind of moves would you bust out during the first song?
Would you be recording the event or simply taking pictures? And what do you think your friends and family members would say if they saw you on TV during the event?
On the second part of the event, what would you be thinking at hearing the song from The Pagemaster? And what do you think is going through the minds of the ones at the House of Mouse and Monster Island when they hear the song as well?
And finally this… what would you do if the spotlight and attention was all on you? And what would your thoughts be before the main show would start?
And here is a bonus, optional question- Do you think my dream of making my Disney/Toho series into classic animated Disney & Toho movies is possible or not? If so or not, why?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave LONG reviews!)
