Yay, today's chapter has a special guest star ;).
"Thank you for saving Chickenhound!" Elisha said to Lauren, Shang, and Mulan.
Shang forgot to grumble about how the author forgot 'General' because he was still recovering so the author decided to take advantage.
"And Slagar!" Chickenhound insisted, clutching the mask.
"Weren't we about to unmask the Bear-Man-Thing?" Shang asked.
"Nah, he ran away," Elisha said, "But whatever, it's time for the wedding!!!"
Chickenhound gulped.
"This is like a Disney movie," Todd said, walking up to them, "Where they fall in love in, like, a day."
"But I'm not-" Chickenhound started to say.
"I KNOW!" Elisha shrieked, "I've always wanted to be a Disney princess!"
"I'm not a prince and-"
"WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR THE WEDDING!" Elisha screamed. She grabbed her fiancee by the arm and dragged him away.
"Where is it?" Nightshade asked.
"The Sleeping Beauty castle!" Elisha answered.
"Okay, when I throw the ball, you whack it with the bat," Swartt instructed.
"But Dad, I don't-" Veil started to say.
"SHUT UP SO WE CAN SPEND QUALITY TIME TOGETHER!" Swartt yelled.
They were standing in a field that they randomly came across. He threw a baseball at his son. Veil, not knowing how to swing the bat because he never heard of such a sport, got whacked in the head (again).
"I guess sports aren't your thing, huh?" Swartt said.
"OW! WHAT GIVES YOU THE THAT FEELING?!" Veil growled, getting to his feet (paws?) and rubbing a bump on his head.
"Well, we can do something manly that doesn't involve sports," Swartt said, "Like, say, fishing. That's it! I know a good lake where the fish practically leap into your net! Well, they don't really leap into your net, because they're not suicidal fish, but you get the idea."
"I thought some people consider fishing a sport," Veil said.
"We're not 'some people'," Swartt answered, "I'll go get my fishing poles!"
"How do you have fishing poles?" Bluefen asked, walking up to them, "You were a little occupied with taking over Salamandastron and killing Sunflash. Which, by the way, never worked!"
"Stop rubbing it in," Swartt sighed, "And I got bored sometimes, okay? Is that so wrong?"
"Yes."
"Let's just go to the lake I was telling you about," Swartt said.
"OKAY!" Lilly screamed out in the lobby of the hotel, "IT'S TIME FOR ELISHA'S WEDDING!"
"We're in the middle of a Disnyland event," Some random Disneyland worker said, "You can't leave now!
"TOO BAD!!!"
"Whatever," Rick said, "We'll come back later! IT'S ELISHA'S WEDDING! I'm a bride's maid!"
Everyone stared at Rick.
"But you're a guy..." Cornflower said.
Rick giggled. Everyone backed away.
"HURRY UP!" Tanya screamed, "Jack, if we're late, we are BREAKING UP!"
"But I made you the balloon thing," Jack said, "Or, as I call it, the future plot device."
"That's not good enough anymore," Tanya said, "And I have no clue how it's going to help the plot, just like Chickenhound's stupid chain."
"We need those flowers on that table... no, not THAT table!" Mangiz instructed. Some members of Cluny's and Slagar's horde were helping to get the wedding set up. They were in a large room with all of the Sleeping Beauty stuff removed so they could have benches for the guests to sit on and tables with food. Mangiz's theme, Think Pink, called for the whole room to be repainted.
"Won't the Disneyland workers get mad?" Killconey asked.
"Not if we don't tell 'em," Mangiz answered.
"But wouldn't they think that it was us since they allowed us to be here?" the ferret continued.
"They didn't 'allow' us like you say it..." Mangiz said, "But I'm sure that-"
"You mean we weren't permitted to get rid of the Sleeping Beauty stuff or paint the walls pink?" Darkclaw interrupted.
"I guess not, but so what? We'll put it back," Mangiz replied.
"...I love Sleeping Beauty..." Darkclaw said.
"You?" Mangiz asked.
"I love Sleeping Beauty," Darkclaw repeated, but in a more sinister voice.
"I'm gonna leave now," Mangiz said, and flew up to perch on the wedding arch, out of the reach of Darkclaw. "Where is the bride and groom?" He asked.
"I'M HERE!!!" Elisha screamed. She came in dragging Chickenhound behind her, followed by Nightshade and Todd. Lauren had dragged Shang and Mulan in some other direction.
"Where do you want me to put the wedding cake?" Badrag asked, walking up with a huge, towering cake.
"Badrang?" Nightshade asked, looking at the stoat, "Is that you?"
"No, I'm- WOAH!" Badrag tripped and the cake flew into the air. It seemed to pause up there for a moment, to build suspense, before it came crashing down. Badrag grabbed a large plate off of a table, did a flip, and slide on the ground with the plate in front of him so that the cake landed on it. He caught it in the nick of time. It was Badrag's awesome ninja moment.
"YOU SAVED IT!" Elisha shrieked, "THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Wait... where is the bride and groom on top of the cake?"
Badrag got to his feet (once again, paws?) and put the cake back on the table. He looked down to see that he crushed the figures of the bride and groom that go on top of the cake when he slid on the ground.
"They must have fallen off when the cake flew," he said.
"YOU IDIOT!" Elisha sobbed, "WHAT CAN WE DO WITHOUT THE FIGURINES?!?! YOU RUINED THE WHOLE WEDDING!"
"Don't worry!" Mangiz said desperately as he flew down from the wedding arch, "We'll find more... Vitch! Go find a replacement!"
"Why should I?" Vitch asked.
"Because Elisha will kill us all if you don't. Hurry!" Mangiz said.
Vitch hurried off to find a replacement bride and groom.
"You might want to get changed," Mangiz turned to face Elisha and Chickenhound, "We're almost ready to start."
"Okay!" Elisha said, "You got all of the band, right?"
"I told you," Mangiz sighed, "Only two of the Beatles are still alive. And they refused to play."
"Did you get the backup band?" Elisha asked.
"Yep. They're getting ready right now."
"Who's the band?" Chickenhound asked.
"Shhh. It's a surprise," Elisha whispered.
"Why?"
"BECAUSE I SAY IT'S A SURPRISE!!!"
"Hey!" Lilly shouted. She, Tanya, and Lauren ran into the room.
"You have to see the wedding dress we picked out for you!" Tanya said.
"IT'S SO CUTE!" Lauren added, "Oh, and did I mention I'm an honorary ninja?"
"I'm a ninja too!" Badrag announced.
"Who are you?" Lauren asked.
"Badrag the stoat."
"BADRANG?!?!?!" Lauren screamed, "I'LL KILL YOU!"
She charged at him and tackled him onto an empty table.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!?!" Badrag shrieked.
"YOU ARE NOT A NINJA!!!" Lauren hollered, pinning him to the table, "I WILL KILL YOU, BADRANG!"
"I'M NOT BADRANG!!!" Badrag screamed.
Meanwhile, Elisha, Lilly, and Tanya left calmly to go see the wedding dress.
"So what's this meeting about?" Breeze asked.
"Well, have you heard that the Redwall characters are in Home Base?" Thumper asked.
"Really?" Breeze asked with mock surprise.
"Yeah. They made it easy," Thumper said.
"Easy for what?"
"I'm not sure," Thumper admitted, "They haven't told me."
"Who are they?" Breeze asked.
Thumper looked at her strangely. "Mickey Mouse and his crew, of course."
"Oh yeah, I forgot," Breeze sighed.
"Anyway, the meeting's in here," Thumper opened a door. They walked inside to see a normal hotel room, except with a long table in it.
"Sorry I'm late," Thumper said, "Is it okay that I brought a woodland creature from Sleeping Beauty."
"Whatever," said Winnie the Pooh, "It looks like we're all here except for Mickey."
"Sorry I'm late!" Mickey burst through the bathroom door wearing only underpants, "I forgot this meeting was in my room."
He forgot the fact that he wasn't wearing pants and sat at the end of the table.
"Now then," he continued, "The Redwallers are in our base. It's just so easy now. All we havess to do is attack."
"That's the easy part," said a duck sitting next to him, "But we should wait until the right moment."
"That's true, Donald," Mickey said.
"What about the adders?" Prince Eric asked, "They deserted us."
"Not necessarily," Mickey replied, "Zassaliss and his siblings are still usable. Asmodeus and Baliss are the ones who deserted us."
"They did more than that," Donald said, "They turned on us. I heard that Baliss almost bit Cinderella.
"Um," Breeze asked, "I came here late, so could you please tell me what we're planning to do to the Redwallers."
Mickey glared at her distrustingly then said, "Nothing you should be worried about."
"But why are we doing it?" Breeze asked.
"They attacked me," Mickey answered.
"That's it?"
"They might threaten our survival," Mickey sighed, "I mean, Redwall isn't Disney. It has to stay away from Disneyland. Which is why we're not kidnapping any more of them."
He turned to glare at Philip and Eric.
"The vole got away!" Eric insisted.
Philip turned toward Breeze.
"Did you say you were from Sleeping Beauty?"
Breeze gulped. "Yeah."
"I don't recognize you as one of the woodland creatures."
Everyone was watching Breeze.
"Maybe you didn't look close enough!" Thumper defended her.
"I, uh," Breeze said. She decided that this was already awkward enough without her adding anything. She sprinted toward the door and down the hall.
"Shouldn't we go after her? She knows our plans," Donald said.
"Nah," Mickey answered.
"Why not?"
"This chair is comfy."
"Oh."
"Here's your dress!" Lilly said.
It was neon yellow with pink polka dots and a bright lime green edge on the sleeves and bottom. There were designs of flowers scattered around it. The veil was a bright sky blue color.
"IT'S BEAUTIFUL!" Elisha shrieked. She grabbed it and ran into a random room to change. When she was done, they went back to where the wedding was going to take place.
"Who is going to be the priest?" Tanya asked.
"We couldn't find an actual priest," Elisha said, "But our band teacher, Mr. A, agreed to do it!"
"Is he licensed to wed?" Tanya asked.
"Duh! Here's a copy of his license!" She held it out for them to read.
"This says 'license to kill'," Lilly said.
"Oh," Elisha reread it, "Oh, well. Same thing. Either way, we're going to be married!"
"Here you go," Vitch gave Mangiz the new figurine to put on top of the cake, "I got a new one."
It was a plastic pig and a plastic wolf taped together.
"What's with the pig?" Mangiz asked.
"That's Elisha," Vitch answered, "I couldn't find a bride..."
"How nice..."
Later, Elisha was holding her bouquet of flowers. Suddenly, she screamed.
"What is it?!?!" Mangiz asked.
"THERE ARE THIRTEEN FLOWERS HERE! THAT'S BAD LUCK! MY MARRIAGE IS CURSED!" She sobbed.
"It's okay!" Mangiz said desperately, "I have a backup bouquet!"
He took the bouquet, turned around, and took a flower out and threw it under the table. He gave it back.
"This is the same bouquet," Elisha cried.
"No it's not, count the flowers!" Mangiz said.
"It's too late, I held it. My wedding is ruined! Let's just call the whole thing off," Elisha sobbed.
"It's just a dumb superstition!" Mangiz growled, "You are walking down that aisle!"
"I'll try..." Elisha said, "But this marriage isn't going to work... IT'S A BAD OMEN!"
"Try and see," Mangiz said, "I worked hard on this wedding. It's not yours any more, it's mine. And I don't want you to ruin my special day!"
He ran away sobbing.
The big group of Redwallers walked into the Sleeping Beauty castle. The wedding was beginning!
They waled through the Sleeping Beauty castle, but when they got to the ceremony, Cluny was nowhere to be found. In the distance, you could hear someone screaming "IT'S CLUNY'S CASTLE!!! I'M BACK!!!".
Mr. A, the band teacher, was getting ready to start the ceremony. Chickenhound stood there in a tuxedo nervously. The guests either wore pink dresses or red suits (or in some cases, both). The bride's side didn't have as many as Chickenhound's. The band came into the room. It was Green Day, and for the ceremony, they played an instrumental version of 21 Guns.
Grissoul was the flower girl. She threw flowers into people's faces and eventual threw her basket at Elisha's cousin, hitting her right in the face.
"Who gives this woman to be married to this man... er... fox?" Mr. A asked.
"I do," Elisha's father said.
"GET ON WITH IT!" Elisha screamed, "I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!"
"Do you, Elisha Thinzone, take, Chickenhound Bluegrass Freeman Oldham Austin Fabio Bobson, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"
"I do," Elisha said dreamily.
"And do you, Chickenhound Bluegrass Freeman Oldham Austin Fabio Bobson, take Elisha Thinzone, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"
Chickenhound gulped. He glanced around the room. It was silent. He glanced at Nightshade, who was silently telling him to say it.
"I do," he said nervously.
"If there is anyone here who objects to these to be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace."
Nobody said anything.
"I now pronounce you fox and psycho. You may now kiss the-"
Suddenly, Mr. A was sucked into a plothole. An arctic fox jumped out of it.
"I OBJECT!" She yelled.
The crowd was silent. Elisha gasped.
"HOW DARE YOU!" She screamed, "AND WHO ARE YOU, ANYWAY?"
"My name is ce," the arctic fox said.
"Ice? Arctic fox?" Elisha asked, "I didn't see that coming."
"Shut up," Ice said, "Anyway, I don't think it's right that Slagar should have to marry someone who he's only known for a day! I doubt he's in love!"
"HE IS IN LOVE WITH ME!" Elisha insisted.
"I'm not Slagar," Chickenhound said.
"This isn't a Disney movie!" Ice continued, "In fact, Disney is the enemy here."
"I've heard enough!" Elisha yelled, "Someone get her out of here!"
Ice jumped and shoved the mask onto Chickenhound, making him Slagar, and then tackled Elisha to the ground in the same movement.
"Woah! She's a NINJA!!!" Lauren screamed.
"Guards!" Mangiz called out.
Scragg and Vitch grabbed Ice by the arms and dragged her out of the room.
"RUN AWAY, SLAGAR!" She yelled.
"What's going on?" Slagar asked.
"We have to kiss so we'll be married!" Elisha said.
"We're not engaged," said Slagar.
"CHICKENHOUND!" Elisha yelled, "HOW DARE YOU?!?!"
"I'm not Chickenhound!!!" Slagar yelled back.
Elisha pulled the mask off of him and kissed him. As she did so, Mr. A climbed out of the plothole.
"Congratulations," he said, "Wow... you were one of my best clarinet players in middle school. And now you're a married woman. They grow up so fast!" He started crying.
"W-what just happened?" Chickenhound asked.
"We're married!!!" Elisha screamed excitedly.
"But-"
"LET'S CUT THE CAKE!" Elisha ran to the wedding cake.
Suddenly, Nightshade fell on the ground. The creatures in the audience were concerned... until they got their slices of cake. Five minutes later, Nightshade jumped to her feet (for the third time, paws?).
"I HAVE HAD A VISION!!!" Nightshade announced.
Nobeast looked up from their cake. Not even the author did.
"This wedding with cause a very bad event in the future!" Nightshade announced.
"I had a vision too," the younger Grissoul said, "The world would be destroyed by-"
"This is more important because it involves US!" Nightshade said.
"Uh, okay."
"Elisha's marriage will cause our misery," Nightshade said, "And... something even worse."
"What?" Grissoul asked.
"A-"
Nightshade suddenly disappeared.
"DON'T SPOIL SURPRISES!" The author scolded, "That's the last time I have a bunch of seers in my story."
"Where is she?" Sela asked.
"Don't worry, she'll come back in the climax," the author said.
"Wait... there's going to be a climax to this story?!?!" Sela asked.
"Yeah, something wrong with that?" The author asked.
"It's just that... it seemed like a big string of subplots."
"The Disney characters trying to kill you is a subplot?!?!"
"Kinda..."
"Just for that, I'm making something bad happen, and it's your fault," the author warned.
"We're used to that," Matthias said, who was walking by at the time.
"Really?" The author asked.
"Yeah, like actually being in this story," Matthias said.
"I told you we took a wrong turn," Veil said.
"I KNOW WHERE THE LAKE IS!" Swartt insisted.
"Then why are we still in Disneyland?"
"We're taking the scenic route, okay?"
"It's not all that scenic."
"Shut up."
"Do you even know where we are?" Veil looked around, "I don't recognize this part of Disneyland."
"Yeah, this is definitely Critter Country," Swartt said.
"Then where are the trees and animals?"
"Again, shut up."
They were wandering through Disneyland on their way to Swartt's imaginary lake.
"IT'S NOT IMAGINARY!" Swartt insisted.
"Shhh!" Veil growled, "Shut up. I hear hissing."
"I'm supposed to be the experienced one that hears things like hissing! I'm the parent!" Swartt said.
"I hear some of the adders!" Veil said and dove behind a bush.
Swartt panicked and looked around. Baliss was coming in their direction. He shrieked and jumped into a trash can. He jumped into it too hard and made it crash onto it's side. Unfortunately, it was a round trash can. Also unfortunately, they were at the top of a hill. He began to roll down, gaining speed, until he zoomed past the adder and down a straight path.
The adder shook his head and continued slithering. He stopped by the bush.
"I know you're in there," Baliss said, "I heard you giggling."
"I am not a Redwall character," Veil said, "I'm, uh, a bush fairy."
"I've never heard of a bush fairy," Baliss said.
"We're kinda shy," Veil said, "So please go away."
"I thought fairies were polite," Baliss said.
"I'm actually a pixie," Veil said.
"...PIXIES AREN'T REAL!!!" Baliss roared.
Veil sprinted away.
Meanwhile, Swartt in the trash can was still rolling. His head was in the can, so he couldn't see where he was going.
This is kinda fun, He thought, It's like a roller coaster. Of course, if I hit a bump the wrong way, I might die. That just ruined the moment...
Suddenly, the trash can was airborne! He screamed as he felt it fall, and he couldn't see what was going on. He curled up inside the metal can and hoped for the best.
Breeze crouched by a statue of a man holding Mickey's hand. It was the largest object within running distance that she could find. She was hiding from the Disney characters. Suddenly, there was a hand on her shoulder (more like a paw on her shoulder). She squeaked but realized it was Thumper.
"I'm sorry," Breeze said, "I lied to you."
"About what?" Thumper asked.
"That I'm a- wait, you don't know?"
"Nope."
"I'm really from Snow White," Breeze lied, "Not Sleeping Beauty."
"Oh," Thumper said, "That's probably why Eric didn't recognize you."
After an awkward silence, Breeze asked, "Who is the man holding Mickey's hand?"
"That's our lord and creator Walt Disney," Thumper explained, "He made the Disney company to start with."
"Oh," Breeze said, "Of course."
"This is a not-so-subtle hint to a future event," the author murmured.
Swartt crawled out of the beat up trash can. It was dented beyond repair. He looked around. He seemed to be in yet another underground cavern, but this one seemed different.
"Where am I?" he asked, "How did I get here?"
"The trash can fell through a plot hole," the author explained.
Swartt began to explore the dark cavern. He tripped over a very large object. He got up to see there was a piece of paper on it. Somehow he could read in the darkness suddenly. It read:
Who says that I am dead knows nought at all-
Hey... wait a minute... sorry wrong story. I didn't mean to get you excited for a prophecy or anything that could help you through the plot. Well, good luck!
Swartt sighed and sat down on the large object. Then he realized he should find out what the large object actually is. But THAT took a lot of thinking.
Is Chickenhound really doomed to marry the fangirl, or will Ice save him? What is the large object? Where the heck is Veil running to? What about the ominous fortune that Nightshade foretold?What does the golden chain and the balloon thing have to do with anything? Haha I know the answer to these questions and you don't nah nah nah nah!
