"Where are we?" Jack asked. After passing through the Lord of the Rings universe they had come to a large dark space.
"The real question is, why weren't we allowed out? The hobbits seemed really nice." Merida answered. They were all walking hand in hand so they didn't lose each other.
"I think I see something," Rapunzel stated "Up ahead!"
They ran towards the small opening in the blackness. They broke through the dark and met another village. There was a mix of real people, animations and simple cartoons.
"Where are we?" Merida asked. Over to their right there was an ocean, with a giant ship with the word Titanic written on the side. On their left there was a thing like a Hollywood sign but with the word Springfield instead.
"Maybe we should go back." Hiccup started. Jack held out his hand for him to stop speaking and then dropped to the ground.
"Get down!" He whispered. The group obeyed and they fell down just in time to see guards walking past. They were like the shadowy figures they had in their own realms.
"I told you Lou, we aren't going to find any DreamWorks or Disney characters out here. If they went the way the 'big guy' thinks they did, they wouldn't have gotten past the three headed dog."
Lou wasn't happy at that answer. "I don't know, Jim, they could've gone through the New Line Cinema realm. If they did that, then they could be here by now. Those Hobbits aren't going to stop him."
"What about the dwarves?'
"Too pretty to do anything."
By then the four were scared. Someone, somewhere, knew they were out.
"We have to go back. Pretend we just went to the human world for the day." Rapunzel said. She was scared.
"We can't." Merida replied. Everyone turned to her.
"Why not?" Jack asked.
"Because they mark you when you come through the Disney Land gates. And what about Jack and Hiccup! They can't go out through there." Merida was right.
"What about if we say that we fell asleep?" Hiccup said. A booming horn interrupted their thoughts, and all of them thought they were caught.
The Simpsons, could you please make your way the elevators. The Simpson they are playing repeats again.
"The elevators!"
"That won't work! We barely get to see people from the universe right beside our own, how the hell are we going to get back from a realm that is kilometres away from us?!" Hiccup said.
Nobody replied. Jack was in deep thought, Rapunzel just looked sad and Merida was playing with her bow.
"We keep going." Jack said bluntly. "I have an idea, and if it works then we will get back home in a few universes."
Nobody argued.
….
"I see the wall." Rapunzel said. Unlike the last universe and very much like their own, there was a big wall separating the two realms, not a foggy sheet that led to darkness.
"Lets go then." Merida stated, a smirk growing on her face. After ducking, turning, hiding and saying 'No m'am I don't know what you are talking about.' they finally got there.
Jack picked them up with the wind and they were over.
"Step one, good." Frost said.
"What ever happened to the phases?" Hiccup asked.
"We dropped that a while ago, keep up."
They looked around. They seemed to be on the edge of a lake. Behind them was an ancient castle, and across the body of water there was a… yellow brick road?
They turned towards the castle and peered inside. Floating candles and a creepy cat that had an eerie resemblance to its owner.
They turned around. Singing, they definitely heard singing. And a cackle. Not like the one a certain teacher has, like a proper cackle.
"Ok, I know where we are." Hiccup said.
"Where are we?" Rapunzel asked him.
"Haven't you seen the Wizard of Oz? Or Harry Potter? Behind us is Hogwarts and in front of us is the Wicked Witch of the West's castle! We are in the Warner Brother realm."
"How do you know that?" Jack asked.
"I get around."
"Ok then, how do we get out of here mister Get Around." Merida asked. The cat screeched from behind them and she was tempted to draw her bow, but if the cat didn't appear when it was his turn on screen, she would be the one killed.
"I don't know!" Hiccup said. There came a growl from behind them. Jack turned around.
"I think we are closer to home than we thought." Jack said.
"Why?" The others asked, turning around also.
"Because I think that is the three headed dog the guards were talking about."
Behind them was a giant staffy, with three heads, drooling over them. Around its neck held a collar that said…
"Fluffy." Hiccup said.
"RUN!"
….
Then began a chase. It started with the four running together and the dog chasing them all Then Fluffy singled out Rapunzel and started chasing her alone. So Jack used the wind to pick her up and carry her to safety. So the dog started chasing him alone. Then Hiccup came to help, blah, blah, Merida nearly died, blah, Hiccup saved her, blah, blah, blah. In the end, they made it to the foggy wall that led them to darkness again and Fluffy didn't follow.
Panting, they kept walking, in case the dog changed his mind.
"Where do think we will end up next?" Rapunzel asked.
"According to my calculations, we should be coming around to the Disney universe." Jack said.
They saw the small opening in the blackness and headed for it. When they broke through the light they were by the Cinderella bakers.
"Told you!" Jack gloated.
"How did you know?" Merida asked.
"When we went from the Lord of the Rings universe to wherever we went next, I realised we were veering slightly to the left. "
"So?"
"Well every time we passed through the fog, we went slightly more to the left.
"We went to the left a lot, who cares?" Merida said.
"You should care because, we didn't escape at all. All of these realms are connected. Whenever you think you escape, you don't. The whole thing is a circle, never ending."
"So what you mean is…"
"Nobody gets out."
