Yay! Here's the longest and final chapter! Hope you like it!
The next day, after leaving Ragetti at the bus station, having to go all the way back, and then back to the park again, they went to MGM Studios.
"What's the nearest thing to the entrance?" Elizabeth asked as they walked.
"The Great Movie Ride," Will said. "Whatever that is."
"Which way?" James asked.
"Dead ahead," was Will's answer.
"What's it do?" Jack asked.
"Enter classic film "worlds" in audio-animatronics splendor," Will read off of the map.
"You mean like traveling into movies?" Ragetti asked.
"I highly doubt that," Elizabeth said.
They all hopped in the vehicle, which held all six across. Jack made it a point to sit between Will and Pintel to avoid James.
Their "tour guide", Michael, as he called himself, was wearing a beret and pretending to be a movie producer.
"Heeeeello and welcome to The Great Movie Ride," he said. "I'll be your guide for today as we travel through some of Hollywood's most cherished films."
"He's like the male version of Amy," Jack whispered to Will. Will couldn't help but laugh.
The ride started out with a turn under a huge archway made of blinding, flashing neon lights. Around that corner was a bunch of animatronics re-creating some film with a bunch of dancers and swimmers. Bubbles fell onto the passengers, which was all they seemed to be interested in.
Jack, Pintel, and Ragetti popped bubbles as they floated down. Ragetti made the mistake of eating one.
Next was Mary Poppins. Mary was hovering about a foot above the ground with an umbrella, while she and Bert sang "Chim Chiminee".
"Chim chim charee," Ragetti said.
"It's charoo," Pintel corrected.
"No it isn't!" Ragetti argued.
Everyone was relieved when the passed it and went on to Gone with the Wind, which only Elizabeth had seen.
Next they entered an old town, with animatronics who looked like gangsters firing at the car. Among them was a real person, shooting a pop gun.
"Ay, Michael," he said in a New York accent.
"What do you want, Mugsy?" Michael asked.
"Get offa there, I'm takin' over this tour," Mugsy, as he was apparently called, said.
Michael put his hands up and got off the vehicle. The ride started again, and Mugsy turned around.
"Alright, get all your personal belongins out and give 'em here," he said.
"You make a pathetic thief," Jack shouted.
"Scuse me?" Mugsy said. "You talkin' to me?"
"You'd make an even worse pirate," Jack continued.
"Well, I ain't no pirate," Mugsy responded.
Next they passed through a creepy space ship, with aliens and one remaining animatronic space cadet.
"I don't like this," Mugsy said with a cheesy nervousness. "Smells like trouble."
Immediately the creepiest animatronic I myself have ever seen dropped half way out of the ceiling. At this Ragetti let out a blood-curdling shriek.
"Little scared back there, Jo?" Mugsy smirked.
"My name's not Jo," Ragetti said, looking incredibly embarrassed… again.
They car passed through the space ship and into a re-creation of Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Arc.
"Snakes…" Mugsy did a lousy Harrison Ford impression, "Why'd it have to be snakes?"
Next the car went into a place that looked like an Egyptian tomb. There was a stone staircase leading up to a platform, where there was a wall holding a huge, fake ruby.
"Take a look at that piece a Heaven," Mugsy whistled.
He got out of the car, and as he passed Jack, glared at him. Then he climbed the stairs, where a person with a robe and hood was waiting.
"Stop, or be destroyed!" the hooded person said. But everyone could tell it was Michael, because he wasn't so great at covering up his voice.
"Yeah, yeah," Mugsy pushed forward. "Step away, gramps."
Mugsy touched the ruby, and fog burst out of nowhere, covering up Mugsy. When the fog disappeared, there was a skeleton in our gangster friend's place.
Michael threw his hood and robe off and hopped into the car.
"Glad that's over," he said. The ride started again.
"Me too," Jack said. "When does this end?"
Michael just glared back at him.
The next room was a huge re-creation of the Yellow Brick Road scene in The Wizard of Oz.
"Ah, one of my personal favorites," Michael said. But they knew he was lying. The animatronic Munchkins began singing Follow the Yellow Brick Road.
"Come on, you know the words!" Michael said.
"If you do, why aren't you singing?" Jack asked.
Everyone could tell Michael wanted to shoot a good come-back at Jack, but his job was at stake.
The last room was a huge movie screen. "Here we come to an end of our adventure through Hollywood," Michael said. "Now you'll witness some the greatest movies of all time."
Clips of tons of movies started playing on the screen. Everything from Mickey Mouse cartoons to The Three Stooges. From James Bond to Moses. And then, Pirates of the Caribbean. Yep, Jack Sparrow flashed his gold smile from the screen briefly.
"Bloody h-" the third time Jack was shushed. But he continued. "That's me!!! What am I doing in a movie?!"
Michael and the other passengers looked confused, but decided to forget about it. They all decided he was a Jack Sparrow wannabe.
The ride came to an end. By now everyone seemed to be used to seeing Jack everywhere. Well, everyone but Jack himself. But they all shushed him every time he started to talk about it.
"I see a big… thing… over there," Jack pointed to what was actually a huge ATAT Walker, like the ones in Star Wars.
"You mean the thing next to that ride over there?" Elizabeth pointed to the ride Star Tours.
"And I'll guess that means we're going on it," Will said.
"Not really," Elizabeth said. "But if you want to…"
"I didn't say that!" Will defended himself. "It just seemed like you and Jack wanted to."
"And what made you think that?" Elizabeth asked.
"You're heading in its direction," Will answered.
"Oh…" came Elizabeth's response.
They went through with it, and entered the ride. It was an incredibly long queue line, but not a very long wait. On the way through the line, there were all kinds of moving droids and things from Star Wars.
There was one particular once that Pintel and Ragetti took notice in. It was talking constantly, so they decided it could have a conversation with it.
"Oh, hi!" the druid said, "Are you having fun in Florida?"
"Depends on what you mean," Ragetti said. But the droid didn't seem to take notice, because it didn't answer. Instead it said "I'm just here all alone with nothing to do. Say! Are you going on the flight to Endor? I wish I could go…"
"What's Endor?" Pintel asked the droid.
But once again it continued to talk, and they had to move down the line.
They all got in their seats in the simulator, and the doors close. A recorded voice told them to buckle their seat belts. Jack refused.
"Jack, you'll get thrown around the entire ride if you don't," Will said.
"I refuse to be strapped down like some mental person," Jack crossed his arms.
Will shook his head and gave up.
A large panel in the front of the simulator went up, and revealed another droid.
"Welcome to Star Tours, folks!" it said. "I'm your pilot for today. It's my first time flying, so you'll have to hang in there."
"Oi…" Jack mumbled.
The ride simulated as launch, flying through space, and going into lightspeed. It wasn't much of a ride. In fact, everyone decided afterward that the line they had to walk through to get there was more entertaining then the ride itself. Well, except for what happened when it simulated lightspeed.
Jack tumbled out of his seat and landed on the tiny floor space between his chair and the one in front of his. Every time he tried to get up the simulator jerked again, and he fell back down. This lasted the entire ride.
"I told you to buckle," Will said, helping Jack up.
"I'm not hurt," Jack growled. But he decided to look down and see why his leg hurt so badly. The reason for this was a giant bruise.
"Jack!" Elizabeth shrieked, "That's the size of an orange! Why didn't you buckle?!"
"It's the size of a large kumquat, thank you," Jack said.
"Jack, honestly," Elizabeth sighed, "sometimes I wonder if you ever grew up."
Jack hobbled along with the group, who took him all the way to the other side of the park, where their last two rides were.
"And Rock 'N' Roller Coaster does what?" Jack demanded.
"Just what you said," Elizabeth said, "It's a roller coaster, with a little twist."
"Twist?" Will asked.
"In more ways than one, apparently," James said, reading a map he had just picked up off of an information booth.
"I don't like the sound of that," Will said.
"We stick together," Elizabeth said. "You're coming whether you like it or not.
Though a little surprised by her words, Will loyally followed Elizabeth into the line, which was a 45 minute wait.
"It's takin' forever," Pintel complained.
"It's been five minutes, Pintel," Elizabeth frowned.
"Feels like fifty," Ragetti said.
Forty minutes passed, and they were inside the building, where you could see the coaster take off, which wasn't a good thing. They all watched the first coaster launch, literally. One second the coaster was there, and in 2.8 seconds it was gone and going 60 mph.
Ragetti started running out of line, but James grabbed his collar.
"No you don't," he said, yanking Ragetti back into his rightful place.
Lucky for the thrill seekers of the group, they got in the back. Unfortunately, Jack didn't like the shoulder restraints.
"They hold you down so you can't move," Jack said, once again refusing to secure himself.
"Alright," James said, who was once again forced to sit next to Jack. "If you want to die you don't have to put it down."
"Come again?" Jack said.
"I'm just saying not putting down that restraint would not only be quite a thrilling experience of suicide," James began, "but would also make my day much easier. Come to think of it, so would my life."
"Well look who's talking," Jack said, "You're supposed to be dead."
"You made a promise not to bring that up," James said.
The coaster pulled around a small corner, and soon they were sitting in front of a dark tunnel. They couldn't even see inside it.
Speakers built on each side of every two-seater car blasted a recorded voice counting down from 3.
"3! 2! 1!" it screamed. An instantly the coaster went flying into the tunnel, going from 0 to 60 mph. in 2.8 seconds.
It seemed like everyone had left their insides back where they had launched. Ragetti screamed bloody murder the entire ride. Through loops, corkscrews, and hairpin turns they went, all while Aerosmith blasted from the speakers. Of course, nobody knew what it was, or even had much of a chance to pay attention to it.
The ride ended in about 1 minute, lucky for Ragetti. He came off shaking like a dead leaf in the fall. In fact, so did everyone.
"L-l-let's do that again," Jack said with a crazed grin.
"We don't have time," Will said. "Do you want to wait another 45 minutes?"
Jack thought for a good long while, and then exclaimed "Yes!"
But nobody cared. They dragged him to the infamous Tower of Terror.
"Eerie…" Pintel said, looking around after entering the wait line.
"You've been to the world of the dead and you're saying this is eerie?" James asked. Pintel just shrugged.
The line seemed to end as they were led into a dark room with a small TV on either side. The shelves were lined with different items covered in fake cobwebs and dust.
The doors slammed shut, and the TVs flickered on, beginning the introduction to The Twilight Zone. For all of you who know what I'm talking about, good. I don't have to explain it. For those of you who don't, google it. I don't like explaining the eeriness.
As the video played, Jack attempted to sneak a few of the things on the shelves into his pockets. But they didn't seem to want to come off. This confused Jack, until he realized they were probably more than super glued to there.
Next came another line. But it was short, and soon they were in the elevator, which wasn't much of an elevator at all. There were three levels of seats. The first two levels had four seats of each side. The top one had six seats. Of course they sat on the top row.
A Disney crew member, dressed as a creepy bell hop, walked up to the elevator.
"Buckles go from left to right," he said in a chilling voice. "Enjoy your day at the Hollywood Hotel."
Just as the doors began to close, the bell hop ran back up to the doors.
"Wait! There's one last thing I nee-" he began, but the doors shut before he could finish.
Ragetti began to panic. "What was he goin' to say?! What was he goin' to say?!" he repeated over and over. Pintel managed to get him to shut up.
The elevator actually traveled up, then forward. It led through some creepy effects as the host of The Twilight Zone said a few things. Then, when everything was pitch black, the elevator dropped suddenly. Everyone screamed, not expecting the sudden plunge.
Windows opened up in front of them briefly as the elevator flew upwards. "Hey!" Ragetti stopped screaming briefly. "I can see the park!" And then the ride plummeted down again, and Ragetti continued to scream.
This repeated twice more before it stopped, and began moving backward. It stopped, and the doors opened, letting its passengers leave.
"Alright," Will took charge again. "We have two options. We can either go do something else, or we can get an early start and leave now."
They took a vote, and Jack and Elizabeth were the only two who wanted to stay.
So they returned to the resort, where Jack slept until there were only five minutes left for him to pack.
They made it home to normality, and never told anyone about their experience. And Jack never figured out why his face seemed to be everywhere in that place.
Was it good? I'f love it if you would review! Reviewers (that don't flame) are the coolest people on earth! Well, should I do a sequal? If I get bored and out of fanfic ideas I might. But you tell me!
