A/N: Hey readers. If you're reading this I'd like to say thanks for sticking with my story. I don't know how long it will be before I post chapter eight, but once it's written I will post it. Enjoy the chapter. There's some more humor in this one. This time the humor involves girl power, and then at another point Charlene. I find that Amanda and Charlene's relationship is open for a lot of humor. Well, I'm probably boring you right now. Enjoy!

The next morning, the kids were sitting at the breakfast table eating pancakes. Amanda and Charlene still bore no smile.

"So let me get this straight." said Wanda. "The overtakers are taking the characters in groups, they have the princes, and now they're going after the princesses. They already had Cinderella and Mulan, and last night they got Jasmine and Snow White. You didn't find Maybeck and they got Jess." She took a sip of coffee.

"Ya, I guess that pretty much sums the night up." said Finn.

"Well" said Wanda. "Now I know why you kids were so stressed last night. Oh Amanda honey, I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine how hard this must be for you." Amanda looked down at her plate. For a minute, the room was silent. All that could be heard was the clinking of forks on plates, and the sipping of orange juice and tea. Finn, who was sitting next to Amanda, saw a tear hit her plate and trickle off the edge. He put a hand on her shoulder, and rubbed it slowly. Charlene was trying to hold back her tears. Willa held her hand under the table.

"So where do we go from here?" Philby said with a mouth full of pancakes.

"I don't know" said Willa. "We need to find Mary Poppins, but who knows where she is? We can't just look for Mary Poppins. First, we need to find clues, but where do we look for them?" She took a bite of her pancakes.

"Why don't we go back to Walt's apartment?" suggested Charlene. "Jess and I found one clue there, so maybe there's more. I texted Finn when we found it, and we were going to keep looking for more, but then Finn texted me that he had heard a lot of screaming coming from the direction of Adventure Land, and we got worried, so we left." At mention of Jess, Amanda looked down again. Willa felt guilty once again. She never should have sat down next to Princess Jasmine. She should have helped Jasmine out of the carpet and talked to her outside of the attraction. She should've known that something bad would happen if she got on the ride. If she hadn't been so stupid, Jess and Charlene would have kept looking and might have found a clue that would lead them to Mary Poppins, and they could have found Maybeck that night, and if they found Maybeck they might have found Jess with him. Now both Amanda and Charlene were sick with worry. And then another idea came to her. Maybe Charlene and Jess would have found a clue that would have led them straight to Maybeck, and then they never would have had to go see Snow White in the first place. If they hadn't gone to see Snow White, then Jess would still be with them. With every tear that she saw trickle down Amanda's cheek, Willa felt guiltier and guiltier. Poor Amanda was suffering so much heartbreak, and it was all because of her.

"I th-think that's a g-good i-d-dea." said Amanda, trying to keep herself from crying. Charlene, who was still holding Willa's hand under the table, wiped a tear from Amanda's eye.

"Well" said Wanda. "Why don't you kids go get dressed and then I'll drive you to Magic Kingdom. Right now I think I should call my father." She reached behind her to grab the phone.

"NO!" screamed Finn, grabbing the phone from Wanda's hand. She looked at him, confused, and a little annoyed. "Wayne cannot come here. It's too risky."

"Finn's right" said Philby. "We can't lose Wayne; not again. It was risky enough for him to come when we first found out about Maybeck. He can't risk coming here again. Our friends are kind of going capture happy right now if you haven't noticed. There's not a doubt in my mind that they would try to capture him again if they had the chance. For all we know, they could have spies watching your apartment, just in case he comes over. You're his daughter, so they probably think that he'll come over often, especially after we've been through a lot of trouble. Anyway, my point is he cannot come here under any circumstances." They all knew that Philby was right. As much as Wanda wanted to see her father, she knew that if he came she may never see him again. She almost lost him for good once, and she wasn't about to let it happen again.

"You guys are right" said Willa. "He can't come here, but at least let Wanda call him and tell him what happened. As our leader, he needs to know. Plus, I'm sure Wanda wants to talk to him. He is her father, and she deserves to talk to him every day, especially if she can't see him. I don't know about you guys, but my mom calls my grandma every day." Charlene nodded.

"I agree." said Charlene. "Wayne should know the current state of things" No one spoke for a moment until Finn said

"I still think any contact is too risky. What if they're monitoring the phone traffic?" Willa slapped her hand to her head.

"The OTs aren't that smart." said Charlene. She snatched the phone from Finn's hand. "Doing that would be very long and complicated. We would know by now. I can't believe you don't think Wayne needs to know that there were three captures last night! Honestly, boys can be so stupid!" She handed the phone to Wanda. Amanda now stood next to Willa and Charlene. She obviously agreed with them.

"Here Wanda" Charlene said. "Call him and tell him what happened, and see what he has to say. Also, make sure you get to just, you know, talk" Wanda smiled at her gratefully. Just as she was about to dial Wayne's number, Finn put a hand on Wanda's shoulder to stop her.

"Are you forgetting that for a period of time, we all thought that your father was dead? Don't you remember all the tears, and all the heartbreak? Do you really want that to happen again, but this time have him actually be gone for good?" Tears started to well up in Wanda's eyes as she thought about the time when she thought she had lost her father forever. Amanda looked at Finn and slapped him across the head.

"You're so insensitive!" she whispered. "Go ahead Wanda. Nothing's going to happen." Finn opened his mouth to say something, but Amanda elbowed him in the stomach. Wanda dialed Wayne's number and began to talk to him.

"Daddy? Hi." there was a smile on her face. "No, no don't come here. I just wanted to let you know about some stuff that happened last night." Wanda walked into the other room. The kids walked up the stairs with their suitcases and got dressed.

"Kids!" Wanda screamed. "Come on down." The keepers walked down the stairs. "My dad says that if he can't come here, he wants us to go to see him. The keepers got in Wanda's car and drove to the Magic Kingdom. After using their employee passes to get in, the keepers walked up to Wayne's apartment above the firehouse. Wayne watched as the keepers, along with Wanda walked into the room. His face sunk when Amanda closed the door behind her.

"So it is true." he said. "Jessica was captured." Wayne had set out bowls of chips and glasses of iced tea. The keepers sat down on the floor around the table.

"So." he said, once everyone was settled. "Wanda tells me that you kids have come up with a plan to find Mary Poppins."

"Well Yes" said Charlene. "We were planning on going back to Walt's apartment, where Jess and I found the clue that led us to the fantasy land extension. We figured, if there was one clue there must be more." Wayne shook his head.

"No. Even the most advanced of seers couldn't know exactlya how everything would play out. He probably knew that the overtakers were going to start using new tactics and what those tactics would be though, and he probably knew that the characters were going to leave you all clues. Characters like to leave clues in places where guests won't see them. My point is, you're not going to find a clue regarding anyone's location. You're going to have to find Miss Poppins on your own." They all sighed.

"Great." said Willa. "Just great. We're back to square one. Mary Poppins is a walk around. How the heck are we supposed to know where to look for her?"

"One thing you should know…" said Wayne. "Is that Walt always told me that when it comes to the characters, you have to expect the unexpected." The keepers looked perplexed. Suddenly, Charlene said

"Wait a minute, I get it! The park we would least expect to find Mary in would be Animal Kingdom, right? That's where she is. That's where we have to go." All of their jaws were on the floor. What Charlene had said made perfect sense, she was right, and she had figured it out before any of them.

"What?" said Charlene.

"Nothing" said Amanda. "It's just considering what's happened recently… never mind." Charlene shrugged and took a sip of iced tea.

"Well" said Finn. "I guess that means we're going to Animal Kingdom."

"But…" said Charlene. "Animal Kingdom is huge, and we have no clues as to where in it Mary might be." They all gave her a "you've got to be kidding me" look.

"Seriously" she said. "I don't know what you guys know that I don't, but as far as I know we have no clue as to where a character would want to meet us." Again they all looked at her. Even Wayne and Wanda were amazed that she wasn't realizing what was obvious.

"And that…" said Amanda. "Is the Charlene that we all know and love." Charlene crossed her arms, obviously still not realizing what was obvious.

"Don't you remember what Wayne said just a few minutes ago?" said Philby. "Characters like to go places where guests won't find them. We need to go to an empty field in the Animal Kingdom." They all nodded at Charlene.

"Oooooh." said Charelne. She curled into a ball, obviously embarrassed. Wanda stood up.

"Well" she said. "Let's go. Bye Daddy." She kissed Wayne on the cheek, and they walked out of the apartment.
