Price
Where we left off, a giant spider was menacing Judy, Oscar and Alan.
"Peter..." Judy whined as the giant spider hissed.
"Judy I have a stupid puzzle and a million spiders to deal with!" Peter snapped as he struggled with the puzzle.
"Well we have a giant spider to deal with..." said Oscar.
"I don't suppose you have read Charlotte's Web?" Alan stammered to the giant spider.
It hissed and glared at them with eight red eyes.
"Peter..." Judy whined.
Peter decided to cheat... he broke off two tiles and put them forcefully where they needed to go.
Everything went white...
...
Peter woke up at home in the mansion's living room. He woke Judy. Soon Alan and Oscar woke up too.
"We're home!" said Judy.
"I'm home! Caloo calay! Woohoo!" said Alan cheering.
He looked about. "You redecorated."
"We just moved in." said Judy.
"I don't like it..." said Alan.
Judy sighed exasperated.
Alan cheerfully went go the kitchen. He looked in the fridge.
"Crunchy Munchies!" He helped himself to candy bars that were in there.
"Hey those are our Crunchy Munchy bars..." said Peter frowning.
Alan ate some bars ravenously.
"I haven't had a Crunchy Munchy bar in years!" said Alan.
...
Still in the kitchen.
"Well Peter, you impress me. I didn't know you were good at slide puzzles considering you give up trying to solve my Rubix Cube after a few minutes..." said Judy smelling a rat.
"Uh yeah... I got lucky I guess..." Peter sweated.
Behind him the clue orb that rested in the middle of the Jumanji board game hovered. The word CHEATER appeared in green text. The orb soon vanished.
Suddenly Peter grew brown hair all over him and a tail too.
"Oh my gosh! Peter you have a tail!" Judy gasped.
"He turned into a monkey!" Oscar gasped.
"Peter how did you solve the puzzle..." Alan sighed.
"I uh..." Peter gulped and swallowed hard. "I cheated."
Alan groaned and slammed the fridge repeatedly. "No! No! No!"
Monkey Peter gulped.
"Jumanji hates cheaters!" Alan explained. "We have to go back in there..."
"No way! We are not going back in there!" said Judy.
Vines grew across the walls and ceilings. Animals such as lions and monkeys etc were heard upstairs.
"What the?!" Judy peaked out into the now vine infested foyer. A stampede of African wild life charged down the stairs and out the front door.
From outside at the same time Officer Bentley, the local police officer was paying the new residents a friendly visit. However he was flattened by zebras, elephants etc running over him.
"This just ain't my day..." He groaned slightly worse for wear.
"How in blazes did he survive that?!" Oscar yelled.
...
The foyer.
"Well there's your answer Jude. We don't fix Peter's problem, you're stuck with Jumanji literally becoming part of your world..." said Alan.
Peter gulped.
Outside cars were held up in traffic because trees grew out of the road. Kids gawked at the new jungle plants and animals.
"I do not need this today..." said Tommy the paper boy. He looks exactly like that annoying cartoon kid from the Express Delivery commercials who says "Express Delivery!" Tommy adjusted his curtains of blond hair.
Elsewhere Peter, Judy, Oscar and Alan were back in Jumanji. They walked about the Jungle.
"You just had to cheat Peter..." Judy frowned.
"You were in trouble!" Peter yelled.
Alan hushed them. They all hid. From the bushes they saw walking wooden masks with arms and legs...
"Manjis. A very unpredictable and often dangerous tribe..." said Alan.
Eventually the Manjis left.
"Well let's go back past-" said Alan but they bumped into Van Pelt.
"Leaving so soon?" The hunter pointed a gun at them.
...
He tied them up, as bad guys usually do...
"You boy! hand over the jade puzzle immediately!" Van Pelt barked.
"Why?" Peter as a monkey asked.
Van Pelt fired his rifle into the air.
"We have no choice Peter, I kinda like being alive..." said Oscar.
Peter sighed and handed over the puzzle. He noticed as he handed it over it had unsolved itself.
We cut to some time later. Van Pelt had locked them all in a cage. He was trying to solve the puzzle.
"Accursed thing..."
Peter was hanging upside down by his tail getting used to it.
"Getting the hang of that tail Peabody?" said Judy.
"Yep.":said Peter.
...
Brantford.
"Yes I repeat! I have a live zebra on the loose!" said Officer Bentley. "No Charlie! I am not seeing things! There's zoo animals on the loose!"
Across the road Tommy's baby brother Timmy was dangling from a tree branch of an acacia by his stretchy white diaper.
Timmy babbled and drooled.
Tommy sighed. "Hang in there little bro..."
Well he can't exactly go anywhere else now can he?
Timmy wriggled about.
...
Jumanji's jungle, Peter, Judy, Alan and Oscar are still in a cage.
"Blast this infernal puzzle..." Van Pelt muttered as he was still trying to solve the jade puzzle.
A bush rustled.
Oscar gulped.
"I feel like we're being watched, and it's not helping my anxiety."
Suddenly the monster that Alan saw off the previous night pounced on Van Pelt.
The huntsman swore as he fought with the beast. By the light of a nearby fire Peter was able to make out the creature's shape and its cinnabar fur. It was a minotaur!
The minotaur roared as it mauled Van Pelt.
However in the tussle, the huntsman got ahold of his gun and shot the beast. it retreated.
"Awww I was rooting for that thing to eat Van Seat belt..." Oscar sighed.
Peter and Judy have him an annoyed look.
...
Elsewhere in an alternate universe, Peter was voiced by a talking tea cup from Disney's Beauty and the Beast and Judy was portrayed by Peter Parker's girlfriend Mary Jane.
A clock ticks as Mary Jane in a blonde wig sits at a crate in the attic with a talking tea cup.
"Will you quit goofing off..." Chip from Beauty and the Beast frowned at the fourth wall.
...
Jumanji, our heroes are still locked up in a cage. Van Pelt muttered and cursed as he tried to solve the Jade puzzle.
"Merlin's beard!" he yelled.
"No Judy you can't call yourself and your brother Bonnie and Clyde..." Oscar sighed.
"Some friends you are... A cheater and a girl who can't straight with me..." Alan sighed annoyed.
Judy huffed.
"Cheer up Al, You might come back in the next life as a cartoon starfish..." said Oscar. He's insane so he says weird things like that...
Alan winced.
Suddenly the bushes rustled.
Peter swung about upside down by his tail. He was wary of the intruder.
A wooden mask with big eyes appeared. He had blond hair too. The living mask hushed the four prisoners with a finger to his lips.
Peter watched the living tribal mask. He seemed to want to help free them. He pixked the lock of the cage.
"Clear off you piece of worn out kindling!" Van Pelt held his gun by muzzles, brandishing it as a club to pummel the mask being with.
Peter snatched the old fashioned rifle with his tail. He quickly began to beat Van Pelt with it. The white hunter stumbled and fell into the mouth of a man-eating plant. it snapped shut.
"Blast!" Van Pelt yelled.
...
The mask successfully picked the lock of the cage. Peter, Judy, Alan and Oscar escaped.
"Thanks um pal..." said Peter.
The mask chattered.
"What did he say?" Peter asked.
"I don't know, I hope he's being friendly." said Alan.
Suddenly more of the living masks arrived. They all brandished spears. They chattered an pointed their sharp weapons at the humans.
"Okay... maybe not..." Alan gulped.
Suddenly the mask that freed them, the one with bulging cartoon eyes and blond hair protested and pleaded to his brethren.
The masks dropped their spears and bowed to Peter et al.
"What happened?" Peter asked.
"They look they want to be friends." said Oscar.
The foursome sighed with relief.
...
The blond haired Manji noticed Peter holding the jade puzzle globe. it chattered and seemed to demand the globe.
"I think that puzzle belongs to them. We should hand it over..." said Oscar.
"How do you know that? I told you kids! Never trust anyone here! Except me!" said Alan.
"Al, These people are not evil like Van Schmelt. They seem genuine. The blond one helped us escape..." said Oscar.
Alan sighed.
Peter gave the puzzle to the blond haired orange mask.
The mask solved most of the puzzle, leave one more move to make. He smiled and handed the puzzle to Peter.
Peter solved the puzzle. It flew up into the sky and exploded into a fire works display.
"Cooooool beans!" said Peter.
"Neato!" said Oscar.
The fireworks spelt out the words "Go home."
They were transported home in a similar manner to how the transporters in Star Trek work. by dissolving into sparkles and leaving.
The Manjis waved at them.
...
The Attic.
Alan looked about.
"We did it! I'm home!" He cheered.
"And Peter! You're no longer a monkey!" said Judy.
Peter checked himself. He no longer had a tail or extra hair all over him. "Phew..."
"Awwww... I liked him being a monkey..." Oscar sighed.
Judy rolled her eyes.
"Now to get rid of this nasty little game..." Alan was planning to break Jumanji...
Suddenly it sucked him back in. with the fancy light show and vortex etc.
"Noooooo!" Peter and Judy cried.
Peter went to roll.
"Peter no!" Judy cried.
"Jude we have to go back and save him! He's our friend!" said Peter.
Jusy relented.
Peter paused. "But first we need some supplies."
He came back later with his backpack full of Crunchy Munchy bars.
"Hey, everything outside is back to normal, no jungle animals... no trees growing out of the asphalt..." said Oscar looking out the attic window.
They roll the dice and... well that's an adventure for another time...
The end.
