Chapter 2 Dumbo
Inside the storybook, Jiminy and Doremi are spinning in the whirlwind.
Jiminy: Whooooaaaa!
Doremi: Aaaaaaaaah!
As they are spiraling through, they come across for icons with each one having a hero in it.
Jiminy: These things sure look familiar. Hey, there all from the different stories. Pick one, Doremi.
Doremi: Okay. What's Dumbo-chan's story about again?
Jiminy: Well, he's a baby elephant who lives in a circus and his ears are so big that everyone teases him.
Doremi: Poor Dumbo-chan.
Jiminy: Then one day, he realizes that his big ears are what make him special; he can use them to fly.
Doremi: Really?
Jiminy: Honest.
Doremi: (thinking) Kinda reminds me of Pao-chan.
Suddenly, the whirlwind around them morphs into a circus area with a big-clown-face-like entrance leading inside the Big Top.
Jiminy: That's why they call him "Dumbo, The Flying Elephant."
Suddenly, the Ringmaster's voice is heard from the tent.
Ringmaster: Villains and villainesses! Please give a dusty call welcome to Dumbo, the Falling Elephant.
(Evil Laughter)
Doremi: The Falling Elephant?
(Big splash)
(Roaring Laughter)
Jiminy: I certainly don't remember the circus tent looking this way, but I guess that's what happens when a bunch of clowns take over.
When Jiminy and Doremi enter the tent, they find Mrs. Jumbo in shackles.
Jiminy: Say Mrs. Jumbo, why the long trunk?
Mrs. Jumbo: Because tonight the audience is filled with villains who just laugh at the most dreadful things. And worst of all, Dumbo can't fly anymore. But the clowns keep forcing him to do his high-dive act just so they can keep the audience entertained.
Jiminy: Don't worry, Mrs. Jumbo. My friend, Doremi, here is a pretty talented character. We'll find a way to save Dumbo, we just need you to give us a lift.
Mrs. Jumbo pulls the ropes connecting to the sandbags that Jiminy and Doremi are standing on and are lifted up to the catwalk. As they head down to the end of the catwalk, they are directly above the ring where Dumbo is trapped on top of a burning tall building set about to be dropped into a vat of soapy water at the bottom.
Doremi: So what do we do, Jiminy-san?
Jiminy: Start by making the clown with the paddle hit the other clown instead of Dumbo.
Doremi: Okay. (Takes out Jewelry Poron) Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Cause the paddle clown to hit Bumpy the Clown.
The spell causes the clown with the paddle to hit Bumpy off the building.
Bumpy: Owwww!
Bumpy falls into the vat.
(Splash)
Doremi: That did it.
Audience member: Boo!
Jiminy: I don't think that's enough. Maybe you can have Bumpy crash on the trampoline.
Doremi: Alright. Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Move the trampoline over the vat.
The two clowns place the trampoline over the vat.
Doremi: Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Hit Bumpy of the building.
Bumpy gets hit off the building again, but this time he bounces off the trampoline and lands face down on the ground.
Jiminy: You know, you should put the beach ball to where Bumpy keeps crashing.
Doremi: Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Move the beach ball over there.
The beach ball rolls over to where Bumpy last crashed onto.
Doremi: Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Hit Bumpy again.
Bumpy is paddled off, bounces off the trampoline and lands on the beach ball. Bumpy loses his balance which causes the beach ball roll into the support and Bumpy falls into the cannon. The cannon fires the clown off the ring.
Bumpy: Aah hoo hoo hoo!
Jiminy: Well that was a good try. You know, changing the angle of the cannon seems to change where Bumpy lands.
Doremi: Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Change the angle of the cannon to face it through the ring of fire.
The cannon angles down to where the barrel is aiming through the ring of fire.
Doremi: Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Hit Bumpy round 4.
Bumpy is paddled off, bounces off the trampoline, lands and rolls on the beach ball and falls into the cannon. The clown on the crank angles the cannon toward the center of the ring of fire and fires Bumpy through it and into the mouth of a circus lion.
Jiminy: Ooh! Boy, that clown is a glutton for punishment. Hmm, I think you should try to get him to land on the side of the teeter-totter that's closer to him.
Doremi: Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Angle the cannon up a little.
The Cannon angles up to where it aims toward the top of the ring of fire.
Jiminy: Hey, that looks like the good angle for the cannon.
Doremi: Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Hit Bumpy round 5.
Bumpy is paddled off, bounces off the trampoline, lands and rolls on the beach ball and falls into the cannon. The cannon angles toward the top of the ring of fire and fires Bumpy over it, setting his rear end on fire and landing on the teeter-totter. As Bumpy extinguishes his rear end in the water tub on the fire engine, Jiminy reviews the course.
Jiminy: The circus lion should go on the other end.
Bumpy pulls himself out so hard it cause him to rocket up to the trapeze. After flipping on one trapeze, Bumpy flings off to reach the other trapeze, but ends up crashing on the ground.
Jiminy: Maybe you can turn on the fire hydrant if you can get the circus lion to land on the wrench.
Doremi: Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Piece of meat appear on the end closer to the lion.
A piece of meat appears on the one side of the teeter-totter closer to the lion. The lion sees the meat and jumps on the end to feast on it.
Doremi: Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Hit Bumpy round 6.
Bumpy is paddled off, bounces off the trampoline, lands and rolls on the beach ball and falls into the cannon. The cannon angles toward the top of the ring of fire and fires Bumpy over it, setting his rear end on fire and landing on the teeter-totter, catapulting the lion through the ring of fire. As Bumpy extinguishes his rear end in the water tub on the fire engine, the lion lands and spins on the wrench connected to the fire hydrant causing the water run through the fire hose and lifting the clown holding it about three feet off the ground. Bumpy does the fling-off-the-trapeze-and-crash routine again.
Jiminy: Ooh hoo hoo! Bumpy is really living up to his name. You know, you can summon the fire hose clown up to the trapeze to catch him.
Doremi: Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Increase water pressure in fire hydrant to max.
The handle on the fire hydrant moves up from little to max.
Doremi: I think that should do it, Jiminy-san.
Jiminy: Okay, let's find out.
Doremi: Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Hit Bumpy final round.
Bumpy is paddled off, bounces off the trampoline, lands and rolls on the beach ball and falls into the cannon. The cannon angles toward the top of the ring of fire and fires Bumpy over it, setting his rear end on fire and landing on the teeter-totter, catapulting the lion through the ring of fire. As Bumpy extinguishes his rear end in the water tub on the fire engine, the lion lands and spins on the wrench connected to the fire hydrant causing the water run through the fire hose and rockets the clown up to the trapeze.
Jiminy: Wow! The water pressure actually made the clown fly up to the trapeze.
Bumpy flies up to the trapeze above him, flings off it and catches the clown on the other trapeze. Bumpy swings off and lands back on the building taking a bow for his amazing feat.
Jiminy: You did it, Doremi! You saved Dumbo. And not a minute too soon for Bumpy.
As Bumpy performs his act again, Dumbo still feels nervous. Doremi calls out to Dumbo.
Doremi: You can do it, Dumbo-chan! Do it for your mother and all your friends.
Upon hearing Doremi, Dumbo opens up his ears and takes off, flying around the tent.
Jiminy: Well, you must be doing something right. Dumbo can fly again.
Doremi: I guess true friends can always help each other.
Jiminy: You have a kind heart, Doremi. Now let's get back to the storybook and make sure that Dumbo finds his mother.
Jiminy and Doremi are transported back to Doremi's room and they watch the story end with Dumbo reuniting with Mrs. Jumbo.
Jiminy: (Sighs) Isn't that sweet? There is nothing more stronger than the bond between a mother and her child, especially if they're both elephants. (Chuckles)
Doremi: I wonder if that's the same with me and Hana-chan.
