However, the giant wasn't asleep and seemed to be sitting at a table as the group who came inside the door hid away behind a wall beside an apple core.
"Not good." Patch whispered.
Ginormous smirked as he grabbed some gold coins and moved a painting on his wall to show a safe before he dialed a combination. Tuffy took a look through some binoculars and soon copied down the combination with a piece of paper and a pencil so they would remember it for later. Once the combination was accessed, Ginormous opened the safe door and put the gold coins in with the rest of his collection before he shut the door and he sniffed the air as he smelled something which made him move around the room before the group hid away in a basket that had yarn inside of it.
"He must have sniffed the others' scents outside." Hunter whispered.
"Just hope that he doesn't come in here." Ashlynn gulped.
"We'll never see those chumps again." The squirrel said to the others.
Ginormous soon opened the front door as he spotted The Red Fairy. "WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?!"
"We thought we'd spare you the trip into town tomorrow." Red smiled nervously with the others.
"And who's the furball?" Ginormous asked as he saw Mr. Badwolf with Red and the others.
"You may call me Mr. Badwolf and my reason for being here is none of your concern," Mr. Badwolf glared at the giant. "So back off before I get all huffy and puffy."
"Ha! Big words for a tiny puppy! So you brought my tribute a day early, huh?" Ginormous then asked Red. "But where's the loot?"
"Well... Since the villagers don't have any valuables left," Red stammered before seeing Robyn, Jack, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy, and Patch as they moved a mousetrap behind the giant's back. "They thought they'd bring their... Their, uh, talents."
The group then kept moving as quickly as they could as the giant was distracted.
"Our what'sit's?" Spike asked Red while smiling nervously to Ginormous.
"Talents." Red repeated at him.
The group soon moved the mousetrap in front of the grandfather clock as they had to get up to the shelf.
"Okay, so we gotta set this thing off and launch ourselves up in the air." Robyn told the others.
"Any volunteers?" Patch asked.
"I'm going in." Jerry decided.
"Alright then." Patch said.
Robyn took a hold of Jerry and tied a spool of thread on his back before setting him down carefully on the mousetrap. Tom looked nervous before he poked the cheese on the trap which soon sent Jerry flying through the air with the string behind his back as he was about to land on the shelf. Patch began to pray for Jerry to end up on the shelf.
"Hey, must've got that mouse." Ginormous said as he heard his mousetrap go off.
"Hey, big guy, here's the deal." Red spoke up to make him look back at her and the others.
Jerry flew through the air as he brought out the needle as he nearly missed the edge of the grandfather clock before he stabbed the end of it and pulled himself up as he lowered the string for everybody else to climb up with from the floor.
"They're offering to put on a show." Red then continued to the giant.
"For your dining pleasure." Droopy added.
"Fine, if I like your acts, you live." Ginormous told them.
This caused Red and the others to smile.
"If I don't; I'll grind your bones to make my bread and since you're here too, Furball, you'll be doing an act too." Ginormous said as he picked up Red, Mr. Badwolf, and the others.
The others began to climb the string, though Tom seemed to slide down to the floor.
"Tom!" Robyn gasped for her cat.
Tom looked down which made him feel dizzy as he tried to pull himself up, but had trouble.
"Whew." Patch sighed.
Tom soon looked inside of the clock and soon jumped out to reach onto the swinging pendulum of the clock before he grabbed the chain and hit his head a few times.
"Oof. Ow. Ooh." Patch winced for poor Tom as that looked like it hurt.
"Hmm... Running fast again." Ginormous said as he came to his clock and moved the hands as it said the wrong time before he walked off to see the "show" that was just for him.
Patch and the others were soon shown behind the clock hands. Luckily, the giant didn't see them as he moved the fairy tale characters onto his table and placed a couple of books beside them and tied a napkin over them to look like a stage and a curtain. "This show better be good." he then smirked as he leaned back in his chair.
"Okay, we gotta get to that shelf somehow." Crow said to the others.
"Yeah, but the question is how?" Patch said.
"Hmm..." Crow paused thoughtfully.
"Would that thing help?" Raven asked her brother, seeing a cuckoo clock spring with a bird on it.
"I guess it's worth a shot," Crow shrugged as he took it before stretching it out a bit to see how far it would go. "Yeah... This might help. Just be very careful when crossing it like a bridge." he then advised to his sister and the others.
"We will." Apple smiled.
Crow stuck his tongue out as he sprung the spring out towards the shelf. Once it was in place, the group began to walk across the spring very, very carefully so that they could make it onto the shelf.
"Start the show!" Ginormous glared impatiently.
The first to perform was the Farmer in the Dell. Ginormous crossed his arms as he waited for the show as the farmer came out with a stool as he came up to an old-fashioned microphone.
"A recitation by the Farmer in the Dell." Mr. Badwolf presented to the giant.
"Well, it's been a quiet week in Fairy Land, my hometown," The farmer began. "Just off the beanstalk at the edge of the clouds."
Ginormous didn't look entertained from this.
"Give it a little more oomph." Mr. Badwolf whispered at the farmer.
"I'll try." The farmer replied.
As the others made it onto the shelf, Tuffy pointed out a crossbow for them to use to make it to the giant's safe. Luckily for them, the giant mouse was successful in shooting the crossbow.
"Great shot." Crow smiled at the mouse.
"Sure." Tuffy smiled back.
Tom saw that the thread that Jerry had tied around his waist ran out from the spool, so he decided to take it to tie it down for his mouse friend.
"This time of year, there's lots of frost on the pumpkin," The farmer said to the giant as Jerry clung to the portrait frame once he came in for a landing from the shooting of the crossbow. "Cinderella's been having a hard time, scraping the ice off her coach. This cold weather's been wreaking havoc on Old Mother Hubbard. Old Woman in the Shoe is having to lace it up tight."
"Is that the best he can come up with?" Ramona whispered to the others.
Cerise face-palmed and shook her head.
"Very good work, Tom." Robyn smiled at her cat before she and the others began to grab on the string to shuffle themselves across to where Jerry was.
Jack gulped as he tried to hold on as tight as he could while shuffling along the rope before the others joined him.
'I hope the villagers have better acts to keep him busy.' Patch thought to himself.
"Of course, the three pigs are laying in extra firewood for winter," The farmer continued as the giant began to feel bored of him. "Once it turns cold, those hungry wolves, just keep on dropping down the chimney."
"NEXT!" Ginormous demanded.
"I hate to agree with you, but yes, please, someone else." Mr. Badwolf begged.
Tuffy dropped down on the string next which snapped it in half and the ones on the rope began to swing towards the portrait like swinging on a jungle vine.
"Uh-oh..." Patch whispered.
The thread soon moved the portrait and frame to show the safe. The group panicked as the giant could see them from that, but luckily, he didn't.
"Screwy, you're on!" Red gasped as she pushed the squirrel out on his unicycle.
"But I don't have a talent!" Screwy told her.
Ginormous luckily leaned forward before the other group could fly in his face as he took a look at the squirrel.
"I'm Screwy, the pieman, And you won't believe your eyes~," Screwy began to sing as he balanced on his unicycle and juggled the pies before he threw them at Ginormous as he caught them in his mouth. "When you see how much glee, A squirrel can make with pies~"
"Mm! Tasty~" Ginormous beamed as he swallowed the pies.
"Guess he does have talent and just didn't know it." Mr. Badwolf told Red.
"It's something." Red shrugged at the wolf man.
The other group soon made it up to the safe, some on the floor of it while some of the others were on the dial lock, moving all around since it spun under their feet, so they had to be very careful here.
"Tuffy, what's the combination?" Robyn whispered loudly at the giant mouse.
"Okay, 36 Right." Tuffy began from the code he had on paper.
Robyn and the others soon began to turn the combination lock to 36 right. Jack yelped as he nearly fell, but Robyn held her cousin close as it was a bit of a slippery ground they stood on.
"24 Left." Tuffy then told them.
The group on the lock soon spun the combination lock that way now.
"35 Right." Tuffy then concluded.
The group soon spun the combination lock that way. Luckily, they got it right there and they were so close to getting into the safe.
Ginormous began to look bored of the so-called entertainment.
"Thank you. Thank you," Droopy said to the giant as he shuffled a deck of cards. "I would like to perform the world's fastest card trick. Wanna see it again?" he then asked as he didn't do anything as that was meant to be a joke.
Ginormous soon flicked Droopy away in annoyance. "This better improve." he then glared at the others in front of him.
"Mr. Badwolf, do you have a talent?" Red asked.
"Well... I sorta have a secret trick that I do sometimes." Mr. Badwolf said to the red fairy.
"Perhaps you should show us," Red grinned nervously before shoving him a bit. "Right now!"
"Oh, uh, I dunno if I should..." Mr. Badwolf said bashfully.
"Please, we have to stall as long as we can." Red whispered to him.
"Well... Okay..." Mr. Badwolf said before looking up at the giant, a bit nervously.
Ginormous drummed his fingers on the table with impatience.
Jack, Robyn, Patch, Tom, and Jerry leaned against the safe door lever and fell as they landed in Tuffy's arms before the door opened for them to a crack before Tuffy put them down and pulled the door open for them so they could get Red's harp back.
"Looks like Scrooge McDuck's private room." Patch commented to himself as they saw gold coins everywhere.
"He must have lots of gold." Crow said.
"We better get looking for that harp then." Raven suggested.
Tom grinned as he began to look greedy from all of the loot.
Mr. Badwolf soon did what he could and then changed into his human form which was how he got married to Cerise and Ramona's mother: Little Red Riding Hood.
"That's it?" Screwy whispered to the others.
"That's what you do?" Ginormous asked.
"I didn't say it was amazing," Mr. Badwolf shrugged. "It's just something I do sometimes for the Missus."
"It's something, I'll give you that." Ginormous remarked.
The bulldogs began to look nervous.
"You got something to share?" Mr. Badwolf asked the two dogs.
"No, no, you're good," Spike smiled nervously. "I think you're better at this than we are."
"Oh, come on; what's your talent?" Screwy asked.
Spike gulped a bit before he brought out his puppy and they did like a ventriloquist act. "So, Tyke, you're in the first grade now. How do you like school?" he then asked before he treated his son like a dummy before he spoke the punchline to make it look like his puppy said it. "Closed. That's a killer. Ha, ha." he then laughed.
Ginormous looked very unimpressed from this so far.
"Ah! Mes amis, look!" Tuffy gasped as he found something.
Everybody looked with him and soon saw what he saw.
"Ah! The magic harp." Jack smiled in relief.
"Alright, one of us should go and get it." Robyn said.
"Any volunteers?" Patch asked.
"I'll get it," Jerry replied. "...But how?"
"What if we make ourselves into a tower with you on top?" Robyn suggested.
"Works for me!" Jerry smiled from that.
"Alright then." Patch said,
They soon began to try that out as Jerry reached as far as he could as the harp was just inches away from his grasp.
"Hey, old pal, lemme help ya out a little." Tom smirked as he took a hold of the brown mouse.
"Tom, what are you thinking?" Robyn asked.
"Relax, I know how to help him." Tom said before he scrunched Jerry up into a ball.
"Hey!" Jerry squeaked from that.
Tom then threw Jerry like a ball up against the harp which the mouse bounced off of and it soon made the harp fall from the tall stand that it stood on.
"Quick, someone catch it!" Ashlyn yelped.
"I got it! I got it!" Both Crow and Hunter called out as they were running towards each other.
"Guys! Look out!" Apple cried out.
CRASH!
Crow and Hunter grunted as they ran into each other as the harp bounced onto the floor between Tom and Jerry.
"I wonder what this does?" Tom commented before he plucked a string which turned Jerry from a mouse into a chicken.
"Guess that answers the question." Patch said.
"It turns people into chickens?" Robyn wondered.
"Probably not just that." Patch guessed.
Jerry then plucked a harp string with a glare as it soon turned Tom into the size of smaller than a mouse.
"Whoa." Hunter said.
"Guess it can do all sorts of things, but Tom and Jerry, that harp is not a toy." Robyn scolded her pets.
"She's right," Tuffy agreed as he took the harp to change the cat and mouse to back to normal as he gave the harp to Jack instead. "Stop playing around. You better hold onto this, huh?" he then suggested.
They then suddenly heard a honking sound before they turned around to see that it was a goose.
"The farmer's goose." Raven smiled.
Meanwhile, Spike and Tyke were soon juggling bowling pins with each other as Ginormous watched closely.
The giant soon got dizzy and whacked away the dogs in annoyance. "NEXT!"
"Come on, Jack." Red whispered nervously.
The others soon came up to the large-looking goose, but it was trapped with a lock on its ankle to keep it from escaping.
"Let me take a crack at that lock." Patch said before feeling other giant footsteps.
"Oh, I almost forgot about Doyle." Tuffy smiled.
"Who and what is a Doyle?" Robyn asked.
"We're not really sure where he came from, but he's been here for a while," Tuffy replied. "I'm sure you'll like him though."
"Well, in that case, I hope he's friendly." Raven remarked.
"Oh, he is." Tuffy said.
Patch soon broke the lock, freeing the goose. The goose honked happily before hugging them.
"You're welcome!" Patch smiled.
"Now hurry. Get out of here before the giant comes." Jack added.
The goose soon let them go and rushed off before coming back with a golden egg.
"Is this for us?" Cerise asked the goose.
The goose honked a response at them.
"Well, I didn't hear a no." Ramona remarked.
"Dibs!" Tom grinned as he grabbed the golden egg for himself.
Patch glared at the greedy cat.
"What?" Tom asked. "Uh, I'll split it with ya."
The goose smiled by the door and showed her wings out the door.
"She will even give you and your friends a ride out of the castle." Tuffy then said to the others about what the goose was trying to say.
"Cool." Patch smiled.
Robyn decided to hold the egg for the goose as they all got on her back before she flew out of the safe with them safely on her back.
"Benny and I have worked up a medley of Broadway favorites." The bear nervously said as he got dressed up with a hat and cane with his donkey friend.
And where no matter what the act was, Ginormous had enough of the boring act.
"No!" Ginormous snapped as he slapped a flyswatter down on the bear and donkey. "That's it. Now, where did I put that bone-grinder?" he then asked.
The group gasped as they flew by on the goose, nearly inches away from his face, but got away before he could see them, luckily enough.
"It's around here somewhere," Ginormous grumbled to himself as he looked around impatiently. "I doubt the kid took it..."
The goose soon landed on the nearby shelf with the group, but unfortunately, that was also where the bone-grinder was.
"Hey, Ginormous." A giant teenage boy's voice greeted.
"Ah, there ya are," Ginormous said to the boy. "Doyle, have you seen my bone-grinder?"
"Oh, uh, I wouldn't know..." The light brown-haired boy smiled nervously. "Maybe you lost it someplace, sir."
"Nah, I'm sure I put it up here somewhere." Ginormous said as he kept trying to find the bone-grinder on the shelf.
Doyle looked nervous as he knew something was going on and he wasn't one to let innocent people get hurt, even if Ginormous just found him and took him in like a son or an apprentice.
"Oh, Mr. Giant?~" Red called as she flew over with a flirty smile to get the giant's attention. "I have a song I'd like to sing."
"Now this, I gotta see." Ginormous smiled.
Doyle looked over at the shelf as Red decided to entertain the giant with a song.
Red snapped her fingers which magically changed her form into footy pajamas with her hair in pigtails, looking almost like Harley Quinn without her make-up and costume, as she carried a teddy bear and a blanket. "I've got my blanket and my bear, I'm ready for my nappy~," she began to sing seductively to him. "There's only one more thing I need to make me happy~," she then magicked herself back to normal before she took out a book of fairy tales to show him. "Tell me a bedtime story, And I'll dream about you, Magic, romance, fame, and glory, Any fairy tale will do~"
Doyle soon took this time to take a look at the shelf while Ginormous was busy. The group on the shelf hid away so that he couldn't see them, but Tuffy smiled and waved at Doyle. Doyle waved his finger back at the mouse.
"Dishes with spoons and laughing dogs, Beauties and beasts and kissing frogs~," Red continued to sing, making stuff appear from her fairy magic as the giant listened to her, bemused by her singing and beauty. "Tell me a bedtime story. And I'll dream about you, Tell me a bedtime story, You narrator, you~"
"We have to save the others, but how do we get rid of the giant?" Robyn wondered.
"Let's knock him out." Jack suggested once he saw some mace.
"Perfect." Doyle whispered to them.
Robyn and Jack looked back as Doyle seemed to be on their side.
"Oh, I adore your oratory, Our nightly rendezvous, I don't wanna lie here counting sheep, I'd rather hear Goldilocks or Little Bo Peep~," Red continued to sing to Ginormous as he looked at her with love in his eyes. "Tell me a bedtime story, And I'll dream about you, A happy ending's mandatory~"
Tom and Jerry soon started to move the mace so that it would fall and land on the giant's head to knock him out. Doyle soon gave Red a sign, telling her that they were going to knock Ginormous unconscious.
Red continued to sing as she read it from where she was and nodded with a wink. "To win my love for you, I'll be Snow White to your Prince Charming, Tell me about a bedtime story, Tell me a bedtime story, And I'll dream about you, I don't mean nightmares, And I'll dream about you~" she then finished up the song before she blew a kiss at the giant. "Good night now."
"Yeah!" Ginormous stood up and clapped from his chair before standing up as Tom and Jerry moved the mace and it crashed through the chair just as he got up, missing him which made Doyle look nervous for the others. "What?" he then asked once he saw what had happened.
"Oh, crud." Robyn groaned a bit from that.
"Not good." Doyle whispered.
"Oh, dear!" Red panicked for the others.
"Fee-io-fat," Ginormous smirked before he grabbed Robyn, Jack, Patch, Tom, and Jerry on the shelf in his fist. "I smell a couple of brats, a dog, a mouse, and a cat!" he then tossed them out onto the table in front of them. "So you're the famous Jack. Here after all this time to slay the bad, old giant and take his treasure!"
"That treasure doesn't belong to you!" Robyn told him.
"You stole that treasure from them!" Jack added.
"What are you gonna do about it, peewee?" Ginormous mocked as he brought out a giant fist. "Heh. Wanna fight me for it? Well, come on, tough guy. Let's see what you got."
"How about this?" Jack retorted as he took out the magic harp.
"No!" Ginormous called out from that as he tried to grab them before it could be used.
Jack soon played the shrinking string. The giant soon shrunk down and was now even smaller than Jack and Robyn.
"Still wanna fight, peewee?" Jack smirked at the former giant.
"Now, take it easy." Ginormous smiled nervously as he was even smaller than the mice.
"I got this one." Jerry smirked as he kicked Ginormous away into an empty bottle which sent him flying.
"Stay away from me!" Ginormous cried out as he flew up and landed in the bottle. "Hey!"
"What a perfect fit." Doyle smirked.
"Hey, Doyle, kid, get me outta here!" Ginormous called out from inside the bottle.
Everybody else began to cheer as Doyle shook his head which made Ginormous break down and cry.
"The bigger they are, the harder they bawl." Droopy remarked to himself.
Tom soon decided to have some fun with Ginormous as he used the shrinking string to grow him back to giant size before shrinking him again and continued this for a while.
"Tom, you might wanna be careful with that." Patch advised.
"Aw, relax!" Tom laughed. "What's the worst that could happen?"
"Stop it, Tom," Jack glared. "He's had enough!"
Jerry soon took the harp away from Tom.
"Give that back!" Tom glared as he took it back.
"You give it back!" Jerry glared back as he took it then.
"No! Guys!" Patch panicked. "That's probably not a good idea!"
Tom and Jerry fought over the harp before Tom plucked a string from it which soon tore in half.
"Uh-oh, that's not good." Hunter said.
Red panicked which made the Ever After High group even more panicked since she was worrying about what that could had done.
"Uh! I'll fix it!" Tom panicked as he tried to tie the string back on the harp.
"You broke the shrinking string!" Red told the cat.
"Uh, we have bigger problem." Doyle said as he gestured to Ginormous still giant-sized in the bottle.
Everyone looked over at the bottle which was indeed a bit of a bigger problem for all of them. Ginormous laughed as he soon got freed and slammed his fist on the table they stood on which broke in half and sent them flying. Luckily, the golden goose flew by and caught the group on her back before she flew out the window with them before the giant could grab them.
"Whew!" Apple sighed. "That was a close one."
"We got pretty lucky." Crow smiled at her.
"Oh, no, you don't!" Ginormous glared as he tried to go after them before getting stuck in the window before the wall broke down and crumbled underneath him as the goose flew away. "Doyle, help me!" he then demanded.
"Oh, I'll help alright." Doyle glared at Ginormous.
"I'll make sure you're rewarded," Ginormous grinned. "Now be a good little helper for Uncle Ginormous."
Doyle rolled his eyes as he tried to help him grab the ones on the golden goose who did whatever they could to escape from the giant.
