Meeting Fender/Christopher Takes Elise Out of the Tower

(At a forest with a log cottage, Serena’s group arrived following the Yellow Brick Road still. Unknown to them, Maleficent, Sugar Plum, and Diablo are hidden, watching them and then vanished without being seen. Serena’s group meanwhile noticed a bunch of apple trees)
Eevee: Yum!
Lillipup: Apples!
Pikachu: Boy, am I starving!
Serena, Ash, and Kaya: Me too!
(Realizing they have food already, Serena, Ash, and Kaya suddenly changed their answer to Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee)
Serena: But we have food already.
Ash: Yeah.
Eevee: But what if we run out upon eating them?
Lillipup: Better safe that sorry.
(Realizing she’s right after hearing their stomachs growl, they happily gave in)
Ash: I guess it’s worth gathering more food then.
Jiminy: Great idea, Ash.
(They walk up to an apple tree and after Serena picked an apple off a branch and just when she was gonna inspect it for worms, an arm of a tree snatched the apple back from her, surprising her, Ash, Kaya, Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee)
Pokemon and kids: What the…?!
Apple Tree 1: What do you think you’re doing?!
(Feeling guilty, Serena spoke up apologetically)
Serena: Sorry, we were hungry and….
(She stopped and got annoyed)
Serena: I can’t believe I’m talking to a talking apple tree.
(Apple Tree 1 turned to the other apple trees)
Apple Tree 1: They were hungry.
Apple Tree 2: They were hungry.
(Apple Tree 1 turned to the group in anger)
Apple Tree 1: But how would you like it if someone picks something off of you?
Kaya: Well, I wouldn’t like it, but….
Apple Tree 1: Then keep your hands to yourself!
Ash: You’re the rudest tree…!
Serena: Ash, don’t provoke him even more!
(Suddenly, Pinocchio got an idea and turned to his friends, speaking up while winking at them secretly)
Pinocchio: You know what, let’s get out of here. We don’t want to eat those apples!
(Getting the idea, the group played along and agreed)
Jiminy: I agree, Pinocchio.
Pikachu: We don’t need them.
Apple Tree 1: Are you hinting my apples aren’t what they ought to be?
(Pinocchio and the others casually shook their heads)
Serena’s group: Nope.
Jiminy: It’s just we don’t want to eat little green worms.
(Insulted, the apple trees got angry and began to throw apples at them, including the one that Apple Tree 1 snatched from Serena. One of the apples hit Pinocchio squarely in the nose, but he took it off and threw it aside since it’s now damaged. Realizing they threw apples at the group, the apple trees stopped throwing and Apple Tree 1 shouted at them)
Apple Tree 1: You could’ve asked permission to have those apples instead!
Ash: Now you tell us.
(He picks an apple up)
Serena: Thanks.
(The apples trees just mumbled in anger and then went back to sleep. Serena’s group then proceeded to pick up the apples and pack them in Serena, Ash, and Kaya’s backpacks and fannypack. After Serena picked up the last apple and packed it, she suddenly noticed a pair of rusty red legs attached to silver joints standing in front of her. She stood up and saw that the legs came from a rusty red robot with brown eyes, a crank on an antenna connected to the top of his oatmeal can-like head, and silver joints, just standing there, holding an axe)
Serena: Hey guys! Come here!
(The others arrived and noticed the robot as well)
Kaya: A red robot?
Ash: Why isn’t he moving?
(Suddenly, the robot mumbled something through his closed mouth without moving)
Kaya: What did you say?
(The robot mumbled something again)
Robot: (Mumbling) Mmoilm man.
Jiminy: I think he said “Oil can.”
Pinocchio: Oil can what?
Jiminy: No, no, Pinocchio. He means an object called an oil can.
Pinocchio: (Realizing) Oh! An oil can. Okay.
Lillipup: But where is one?
(Suddenly, Serena noticed an oil can sitting on a tree stump and picked it up)
Serena: Here it is!
(She turned to the robot again)
Serena: Where do you want to be oiled first?
(The robot mumbled again)
Robot: (Mumbling) Mmym mounm.
Serena: Your mouth?
Robot: (Mumbling) Mm-hmm.
Serena: Okay.
(She then squirted some oil into the robot’s mouth, until the robot rubbed his lips together, moving them again. Then he opened them and spoke up gratefully)
Robot: Wow! I can talk again! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Can you oil the rest of my body please?
Serena: Sure.
(She oils his arms, and then she and Ash helped move his arms again)
Ash: Does it hurt?
Robot: Nope! It feels good!
(He then introduced himself)
Robot: My name is Fender.
Serena: That’s your name?
Fender: Yes. It rhymes with "Bender."
(He chuckles a bit)
Kaya: How did you get stuck here?
Fender: Glad you asked. You see, a year ago, I was cutting a tree down to make firewood. Suddenly, it started to rain. Concerned that I would rust from the water, I ran, and ran, and ran, and ran! And just when I tried to take shelter in that cottage over there, I rusted solid here ever since then, up until now.
(He chuckles. After Serena oiled his neck, she helped turn Fender's head with his robotic hands until it moved again)
Fender: Whoa! Thanks!
Kaya: You’re perfect again!
Lillipup: Perfect as can ever be for a robot!
(Fender suddenly gave a flat expression, confusing the group)
Jiminy: What’s that look for?
Fender: If you think I’m perfect, Little Missy, bang on my chest. Go ahead, uh…?
Serena: Serena Makino.
Fender: Then bang my chest, Serene!
Serena: It’s Serena.
Fender: Just kidding around. (Chuckles a bit and then gives a flat look) Go ahead.
(Serena bangs on his chest, emitting a little hollow echo)
Pinocchio: What an echo! It’s beautiful!
(Fender then got sad)
Fender: Actually, it’s empty.
Serena’s group: Empty?
Fender: My creator forgot to give me a heart.
Serena’s group: (Surprised) No heart?
Fender: (Nods sadly while dramatically) No heart. It’s all hollow!
(Wanting to cheer Fender up, Serena’s group asked him)
Ash: What would you do if you had a heart?
Fender: Well….
(He thinks it over and then perking up, he begins singing his explanation)
Fender: When a man’s an empty kettle
He should be on his mettle
And yet, I’m torn apart
Just because I’m assumin’
That I could be kind of human
If I only had a heart
I’d be tender, I’d be gentle
And awful sentimental
Regarding love and art
I’d be friends with the sparrows
And the boy who shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart
Picture me a balcony
Up above, a voice sings low
(Then he sang in a high-pitched voice)
Fender: (High-pitched voice) “Wherefore are thou, Romeo?”
(Then he resumed his song in a normal voice)
Fender: (In normal voice) Thump, thump
I hear a beat
Thump, thump
How sweet
Just to register emotion
Jealousy, devotion
And really feel the part
I could stay young and chipper
And I’d lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart
(He then points at his legs and Serena oiled his entire legs and hips. Once moving again, Fender danced around on the Yellow Brick Road and even tooted like a choo-choo train, startling a happy giggling Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee. While watching the dance, Serena’s group whispered in a huddle, as if talking about inviting Fender to come with them to get a heart. Then after his dance finished, he did a cartwheel and then clumsily stumbled onto the grass by the cottage, detaching his arms, much to Serena’s group’s concern. They then ran up to him and helped him up)
Kaya: You okay?
Fender: Yeah. Just a little rusty on the left shoulder. And as you can see, my arms fell off.
(Serena oils his left shoulder, and then they noticed Fender's arms moving by themselves)
Fender: Oh, great. They're wrestling again.
(Then he imitated a Hispanic wrestling referee until Ash quieted him and his arms stopped)
Ash: Okay!
(Then pulling his repair kit out of his backpack, Ash, with Pikachu's help, reattached Fender's arms on Fender the right way)
Fender: Muy macho, much better!
Ash: Thanks!
Serena: Anyway, while you were dancing, we were thinking of asking you to come with us to Emerald City and ask the Wizard of Oz to get you a heart.
Ash: Yeah.
Kaya: We’re going to meet him as well!
Pikachu: Our trainers and us three Pokemon want to ask the Wizard to send us back home to Kansas.
Pinocchio: And I’m asking the Wizard to get me a brain.
Jiminy: And make me a perfect conscience.
Fender: But what if this Wizard won’t give us what we want when we get there? He might go "No way, Jose!" Don't ya think?
Serena: I’m sure he would help us.
Eevee: It's not like he'll deny us them.
Ash: We’ve come a long way so far.
(Suddenly, they heard two evil cackles and noticed on the cottage roof Maleficent, Sugar Plum, and Diablo looking down at them with evil smirks)
Maleficent: You call that long? You just began.
Sugar Plum: And we sure didn’t forget you.
(Noticing Pinocchio, Jiminy, and Fender, the two evil witches smirked evilly even more)
Maleficent: So, you’re helping them, I see.
Sugar Plum: Well, heed our warnings; Stay away from them!
Maleficent: (Points at Pinocchio and Jiminy) Or we’ll chop you into firewood and make a cricket pie out of you!
Sugar Plum: (Pointing at Fender) And we could use you for a beehive! (To Maleficent) Right?
Maleficent: Indeed.
(Maleficent then conjured up a fireball with her wand)
Maleficent: Here, little puppet. Wanna play ball?
(She fires the fireball at the group, who dodged. As the fireball burned at its spot, Pinocchio freaked out)
Pinocchio: Keep it away from me!
(Ash and Serena hugged Pinocchio in anger and defense as Pikachu sparked some electricity on his cheeks in anger and determination)
Serena: You wicked witches!
Pikachu: Back off!
Ash: Hurt any of our friends or else…!
Sugar Plum: Or else what? You don’t have powers besides you dumb Pokemon!
Maleficent: And we will get those items back from you!
(As Maleficent and Sugar Plum cackled evilly again, Fender stomped out the flames with his foot, since he’s made of metal and then the two evil witches and Diablo disappeared in a burst of flames again. After they were gone, the group recovered and got angry)
Pinocchio: Even though that ball of flame scared me, I’m not afraid of those witches!
Jiminy: That’s right! We’ll help each other get to the Wizard, even if we die trying!
Pinocchio: Make me firewood? (Scoffs and snaps his fingers) I like to see them try.
Jiminy: And me a cricket pie? Please!
(He snaps his fingers too)
Fender: I will support us too! Beehive, puh-lease! Let them see if they make me a beehive!
(He snaps his fingers as well)
Serena: Thank you.
Kaya: You guys are the best.
Lillipup: Yeah.
Ash: Although, come to think of it, this is weird.
Pikachu: It feels as if we knew each other already.
Eevee: But we couldn’t have, right?
Jiminy: I don’t see why not.
Pinocchio: You weren’t there when I was carved and built, right?
Pokemon and kids: Nope.
Fender: And you weren’t there when I rusted solid, right?
Pokemon and kids: Nope.
(They shrugged)
Serena: Regardless, we know each other now, right?
(They nod in agreement)
Pokemon and kids: To Oz?
Pinocchio, Jiminy, and Fender: To Oz!
(They then began singing as they marched along down the Yellow Brick Road deeper into the forest)
Serena’s group: We’re off to see the Wizard
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
We’ll find he is a whiz of a wiz
If ever a wiz there was
If ever, oh ever, a wiz there was
The Wizard of Oz is one
Because, because, because, because
Because, because
Because of the wonderful things
He does
We’re off to see the Wizard
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
(Meanwhile, back at the Haunted Forest, Christopher is looking around for anyone to ask if they heard anything about where the lost princess is)
Christopher: Hello? Anybody here?
(Suddenly, he heard rustling in the bushes)
Christopher: Who’s there?
(Suddenly, a pack of Wolfos leapt out and attempted to attack him, but Christopher, using quick thinking, grabbed a big stick nearby and whacked one away as he ran quickly)
Christopher: Great! Wolfos!
(He continued to run and run until he lost them. Panting in relief, he sighed in relief immediately, having lost the Wolfos pack. Christopher then noticed a familiar tower in front of him)
Christopher: Maybe someone will help me in my search.
(He runs up to the tower. After inspecting it, he climbed up. Upon reaching the window, he entered and looked around, for it was empty)
Christopher: Odd….
(He noticed a basket of paint supplies and took a closer look in curiosity. Then he noticed all the painted canvas walls)
Christopher: Someone must be a good artist.
(Suddenly, something whacked him in the back of his head, knocking him out. He collapsed, revealing that it was a panicked Elise whacking him with her broomstick and Glameow, looking concerned, is sitting on her shoulder)
Glameow: Good whack.
(Elise nods in agreement. Glameow then jumped off her shoulder and pointed at Christopher’s mouth with her paw)
Glameow: Check if he has pointy teeth.
Elise: Okay.
(Using the handle of her broomstick, Elise carefully opened Christopher’s lips, to reveal that he has normal teeth. Confused, Elise turned to Glameow)
Elise: He doesn’t have pointy teeth.
(They notice Christopher groaning, about to wake up, and Elise whacks him again, knocking him out again. Using quick thinking, Elise stuffed Christopher's unconscious body into the closet and locked it)
Elise: I got a trespasser in the closet.
(She suddenly gasped in realization)
Elise: (Gasps) I got a trespasser in the closet!
Glameow: Yeah, so?
(She suddenly realized what Elise meant)
Glameow: Oh! You mean…?
Elise: Yeah! I’ll show her now that I am mature enough to leave and defend myself! Then she’ll take me to Emerald City!
Glameow: Good idea!
(Suddenly, they heard Sugar Plum call out to her)
Sugar Plum: Elise! I’m home!
(Glameow went back into her hiding spot and Sugar Plum flew in)
Sugar Plum: Did you have a good time?
Elise: Yes! And I got…!
Sugar Plum: I’m gonna make you your favorite hazelnut soup for dinner tonight! And for dessert, a delicious cake topped with gumdrops and marzipan!
Elise: Great! Anyway, remember when I told you about the lights from Emerald City?
Sugar Plum: Yes, but I thought we dropped that subject?
Elise: And I got something to….
Sugar Plum: And I told you, you’re not ready to leave this tower yet.
Elise: But this is…!
Sugar Plum: Elise….
Elise: I just want…!
(Sugar Plum begins to lose her patience)
Sugar Plum: Elise…!
Elise: Just listen!
(Sugar Plum finally snapped)
Sugar Plum: ENOUGH WITH THE LIGHTS, ELISE!!!! YOU ARE NOT LEAVING THIS TOWER EVER!!!!
(Elise got silent and scared from the shouting. Realizing her temper, Sugar Plum calmed down and sighed in exhaustion)
Sugar Plum: Oh, poo! Sorry for yelling, but seriously, I don’t want to treat you like I’m the bad guy.
(Elise silently narrowed her eyes secretly at the closet, and then thinking up a plan, spoke up disappointedly)
Elise: What I wanted was….
Sugar Plum: Yes?
Elise: I wanted more paint for my birthday. From the color-making shells.
Sugar Plum: That’s a three day journey.
Elise: I know. But it’ll be better than those lights.
(A short pause, then Sugar Plum smiled and thankfully for Elise, she fell for it)
Sugar Plum: Tres bien. Okay. I’ll leave for three days to get them for you.
(Elise smiled softly)
Elise: Thank you.
(They hugged)
Sugar Plum: I love you very much.
Elise: I love you more.
Sugar Plum: I love you most.
(After the hug ended, Sugar Plum then went to the window, carrying a sack)
Sugar Plum: I’ll be home in three days. Goodbye. Adieu.
Elise: Goodbye, Mother.
(After Sugar Plum flew out the window and down to the ground, she then left until she disappeared. Seeing her chance now, Elise unlocked the closet and carried Christopher’s unconscious body out while Glameow came out of hiding)
Glameow: So, you’ll ask him to help?
Elise: Yep.
(Elise then grabbed a line of rope and tied Christopher’s body to a column. She then nods at Glameow to wake him up)
Glameow: But I don’t want to scratch him.
Elise: You won’t. Just lick him.
Glameow: (Flatly) Like a dog?
Elise: (Nods) Just like a dog. Go on.
(Glameow sighed and jumped up on Christopher’s shoulder. She licks him, stirring him awake slowly and then wretched from the lick)
Glameow: Ech! Gross!
(Christopher woke up slowly and noticed Glameow on his shoulder and gasped, making Glameow gasp as well and jump off his shoulder. Then Christopher noticed he is tied up and got confused)
Christopher: What’s going on?
(Elise then spoke up in the shadows, holding her broomstick)
Elise: I’m not afraid of you, trespasser!
(Christopher got dumbfounded)
Christopher: Trespasser? What are you…?
Elise: Don’t, play, dumb. I know why you’re here. I think.
Christopher: Um, can you come out so I can see?
(Hesitating, Elise turned to Glameow, who nods to her to come out. Then she gathered her courage and slowly walked out into the light and exposed herself to Christopher, who slowly was amazed by her beauty)
Elise: (Clutching her broomstick) Who are you? And why are you here?
(Christopher continued to stare at her in silence)
Glameow: Hey! She’s asking you.
(Christopher noticed Glameow talking and got amazed)
Christopher: A talking cat Pokemon? A young beautiful witch? Wow.
Elise: You heard my cat Pokemon. Now answer my questions now.
(Realizing he has to answer, Christopher explained away)
Christopher: My name is Christopher Aonuma, and I’m here because I was seeking help in finding the lost Princess of Oz when a pack of Wolfos attacked me. But I escaped and thankfully came here for not only shelter, but also to find someone who can help me.
(Elise and Glameow walked up to Christopher cautiously and inspected him)
Elise: So, Christopher, why are you looking for this lost princess?
Christopher: Because her parents miss her. So please, untie me and I’ll show you proof.
(Reluctant, Elise turned to Glameow, who nods in approval. Then Elise nods and unties him. Christopher then pulled the picture and necklace out of his backpack)
Christopher: See? These are the items that need to help me in my search.
(Elise looked at the picture of the baby princess and got curious)
Elise: That baby has the same face as me.
(Hearing her, Christopher looked at her face closely, much to her discomfort when she noticed)
Elise: Hey!
(She slaps him across the face)
Christopher: Why did you do that? I was just taking a look!
(Realizing, Elise became apologetic)
Elise: Oh, I’m so, so, so sorry! I didn’t know.
Christopher: Well, apology accepted. Now can I take a closer look?
(Elise nods and Christopher took a closer look at her face)
Christopher: Yeah. The princess in that baby picture does look like you.
(He began to ponder along with Elise)
Christopher: Do you think…?
(Elise, after removing her necklace and amulet, then placed the silver multi-beaded necklace she is still holding on her neck and then she, Christopher, and Glameow looked in the mirror to see. After staring silently, they shrugged)
Elise, Glameow, and Christopher: Nah.
(Elise took the silver multi-beaded necklace off, gives it and the picture back to Christopher, and puts her necklace and amulet back on her neck)
Elise: I’m sure you’ll find her eventually.
Christopher: (Thinking loudly) Or maybe….
Elise: What?
Christopher: Maybe since you look like the princess with that face, why don’t you come with me to Emerald City and consult with the king and queen, as well as the Wizard of Oz himself for answers?
(Realizing he wishes to take her to Emerald City, Elise and Glameow got surprised)
Glameow: Really?!
Elise: You’ll take me and Glameow to Emerald City?!
Christopher: Er, yes.
Elise: Ironically, I was gonna ask you to take me to Emerald City right now.
(Christopher got surprised too)
Christopher: Really?! You’ll go with me?
Elise: Yes.
Glameow: She wants to go and see those lights tomorrow night on her birthday.
Christopher: (To Glameow) Really? (To Elise) Your birthday’s tomorrow?
Elise: Yes. I’m turning 16.
Christopher: Well, happy sweet sixteenth birthday to the lost princess, and to you too, Miss….
Elise: Elise.
Christopher: Elise.
(He realized something)
Christopher: Hold on! The lost princess’ name is Elise, too. And her birthday's tomorrow, too.
Elise: Talk about irony. The princess and I have the same names and birthday.
Christopher: And about the lights, those are actually lanterns the people of Emerald City light up to commemorate their lost princess and her birthday.
Elise: Lanterns? As in floating lanterns?
(Christopher nodded, then suddenly noticed her amulet)
Christopher: What’s that amulet you got?
(Elise noticed what he’s talking about and explained)
Elise: This? It’s a special magic amulet that was given to me as a baby.
Christopher: Same with the lost princess.
Elise: How ironic again.
Christopher: Anyway, what powers does it have?
Elise: It has the power to give me magic spells of all sorts, heal wounds and injuries, and even make people a little young and beautiful if they wish.
(Interested, Christopher nods)
Christopher: I see.
(Elise then tucks her amulet in the neck rim of her tanktop)
Elise: And I’m worried that if I lose this amulet, then I don’t have powers.
Glameow: Can we just get out of the tower now and talk later?
(Realizing she’s right, Elise and Christopher got up)
Elise: Right.
Christopher: Can you, by any chance, fly on a broom?
Elise: I flew around a little bit in this tower on my broom, but never outside.
Christopher: What about your parents? What would they say if…?
Elise: Actually, my father died when I was a baby. But my mother never lets me leave this tower.
Christopher: Why?
Elise: She claims that the outside world is very evil and dangerous and that they’ll hurt me and take my amulet away.
(Thinking about it, Christopher brightened up and spoke up)
Christopher: You know what, I’m gonna make you a promise.
Elise: And what’s that?
Christopher: You want to be safe and protected in the outside world, right?
Elise: Yes, why?
Christopher: And your mother won’t let you out and doesn’t understand you, right?
Elise: Yes, why?
Christopher: Well, without letting your mother know, I’ll sneak you out of here, protect you from any danger, take you to Emerald City, and once we get our dreams, I’ll take you back here before your mother knows.
(Elise became unsure)
Christopher: I promise.
(Elise smiled at his honesty and hugged him)
Elise: Thank you.
(Later, Christopher climbed down to the bottom on the tower from the window and called out to Elise and Glameow)
Christopher: You alright?
Elise: Yes!
(Elise seated herself on the broom at the window while Glameow sat on her shoulder)
Elise: This is it.
(She begins singing)
Elise: Look at the world
So close, and I’m halfway to it
Look at it all
So big, do I even dare?
Look at me
There at last, I just have to do it
(She nervously looked back into the room)
Elise: Should I?
(She got determined again)
Elise: No
Here I go
(She concentrated her broom and zipped out into the air, much to her and Glameow’s surprise. Even Christopher saw in surprise on the ground. Then Elise floated down to the ground next to Christopher and slowly stepped off the broom. Christopher takes her hand and they leave the Haunted Forest to the Yellow Brick Road, and much to Elise’s amazement, she saw how beautiful the outside world is. Christopher then gently placed Elise’s hand on the grass and she loved the feel)
Elise: Just smell the grass
The dirt, just like I dreamed
They be
(She feels the gentle breeze)
Elise: Just feel that summer breeze
The way it’s calling me
(She then touched a nearby brook and splashed a little)
Elise: For, like, the first time ever
I’m completely free
(Accepting Christopher’s hand, Elise then started running along with him slowly and then faster, following the Yellow Brick Road into a forest, very different from the Haunted Forest)
Elise: I could go running
And racing
And dancing
And chasing
And leaping
And bounding
And flying
Heart pounding
And splashing
And reeling
And finally feeling
(Once in the forest, Elise was amazed by the beauty after she and Christopher stopped running and they let go)
Elise: That’s when my life begins
(After her song is finished, she panted happily and then got excited along with Christopher)
Elise: I did it. I did it!
Christopher: I know! You’re outside!
(They composed themselves and took each other’s hands again)
Glameow: Shall we go now?
Elise and Christopher: Yes!
(They then run deeper into the forest to get to Emerald City)
Coming up: Serena’s group meets a certain orange-furred cat and his young male mouse friend in the deeper part of the forest and decide to take them with as well after learning that the former wants courage and the latter wants to be his partner fighting enemies. Also, Elise and Christopher get to know each other with Glameow's support, both groups unaware that they’ll meet up.
