The Lantern Festival/Wrongfully Imprisoned, Kayley and Rika’s Sob Story, and I've Got a Dream

(At the gates leading to the Wizard, the citizens are clamoring as a guard is trying to calm them down. He is a muscular Arabic man with tan skin, short black hair, thick black eyebrows, a black beard and mustache, black-pupiled eyes, a gap between his teeth, and wearing an ivory turban with gold yellow lining a violet brim, and a violet diamond-shaped gem on a gold brooch, a black sleeveless tunic with broad shoulder rims, a bronze belt with a gold buckle across his right shoulder, gold cuffs, a violet waistband, ivory harem pants, and bronze Arabian shoes, and sometimes carries a silver Arabian sword called a scimitar with a purple handle. He is Razoul, the guard Yuffie's group conned before)
Razoul: All right, calm down!
(The crowd continued to clamor until....)
Razoul: QUIET!!!!
(The crowd calmed down)
Razoul: I can assure you that the Wizard has gotten matters into his hands now.
(The crowd slowly gave in as he explained this)
Razoul: And to assure you, we are safe. So you can all go back to work on the festival and have nothing to worry about.
(The crowd then left to resume working on the festival. Kayley’s group then approached Razoul)
Razoul: What do you want?
Kayley: We like to see the Wizard immediately.
Kairi: Can you let us in please?
Razoul: First of all, he’s busy at the moment! Second, nobody can see the Great Oz! Not nobody, not no how!
(He then glared daggers at Yuffie's group)
Razoul: And I’m sure he especially won’t want to see you six rip-off artists!
Sora: Actually, about that, they’re sorry.
Lea: They may not forget about it with you, but you could forgive each other for it.
(He and Kayley's group turned to Yuffie's group with smiles)
Kayley’s group except Yuffie's group: Right?
Yuffie's group: (Nods in agreement) Right!
Yuffie: Seen the light.
(Razoul, after hearing this, then sighed in defeat in an agitated way)
Razoul: (Nonchalantly) Then I guess I’ll eventually accept your apology. (Annoyed) But about seeing the Wizard, not nobody, not no how!
Kayley: But you don’t understand!
Rika: This is important!
Mane Eight's group: That’s right!
Tiger: And we got a permit for the occasion.
(Razoul got agitated)
Razoul: NOT NOBODY, NOT NO HOW!!!!
(Realizing he shouted, Razoul cleared his throat, calmed down, and spoke normal)
Razoul: Sorry. Now run along, uh…?
Kayley: I’m Kayley Kingsleigh.
Garrett: Garrett Smith.
Rika: Rika Nonaka.
Patch: Patch.
Renamon: Renamon.
Kairi: Kairi.
Namine: Namine.
Xion: Xion.
Aqua: Aqua.
Olette: And I’m Olette.
(Razoul got surprised)
Razoul: Wait, you mean, Arukeimon, Mummymon, and Splatter Phoenix's Kayley, Garrett, Rika, and Kairi's group?
(They nod)
Ray: Clear as crystal, Cap.
(Then Razoul grumbled a bit in annoyance as he thinks it over and then he gave in)
Razoul: Fine! I’ll tell the Wizard you wish to see him. In the meantime, wait out here and enjoy the festival, and I’ll announce you at once when the festival’s over.
(He goes through the gates and closed them as Kayley's group got happy)
Jiminy: Isn’t it fantastic?
Yuffie: We’ll be announced at once after the festival!
Jiminy: I'm gonna become a great conscience!
Pinocchio: I’ll have a brain in no time!
B.E.N.: And a heart!
Yuffie: And me and the boys will have our diner and toy store!
Wes and Fearsome Four: Yeah!
Kairi: My sisters and I’ll learn of our true heritage!
Kairi's group except Kairi: Yep!
Sora: My brothers, friends, and I’ll become mechanics on flying things and knights of Emerald City!
Sora's group except Sora: Indeed!
Tiger: I’ll have courage soon!
Fievel: I’ll become the best fighting partner ever!
Ray: I'll be with my Evangeline again pretty soon!
Spike and Ember: We'll be flying and breathing fire really great soon!
Mane Eight and Stallion Eight: Along with us conjuring our magic perfectly!
Kayley: And my friends and I will be home in time!
Kayley's Kansas group except Kayley: That's right!
(Kayley's Oz group looked at Kayley in confusion)
Ray: Wait, what?
Megavolt: What do you mean, “In time?”
Wes: Even I'm confused.
Kayley: (Shrugs) Oh, nothing. We’re just excited.
Fluttershy: Are you sure?
Kayley: Positive, Fluttershy.
(Fievel then changed the subject, speaking to Tiger and getting everyone's attention)
Fievel: Anyway, Tiger, what would you do if you had courage finally?
Tiger: Why, I'd become king of my home forest like a lion.
(Kayley's group and even the citizens got interested)
Kayley's group and citizens: Really?
Tiger: Yep! Long live the king.
(Deciding to play along with Tiger's daydream under Tiger and Fievel's silent request, Wes then turned to the citizens who overheard Tiger's announcement in interest)
Wes: Cue the fanfare!
(Then the fanfare played loudly by the trumpet players. Seeing everyone wanting to watch this entertainment, Kayley's group encouraged Tiger to show his dream, and after the fanfare finished, he gladly does through song)
Tiger: If I were king of the forest
Not queen
Not duke
Not prince
Fievel: And not duchess or princess.
Tiger: My regal robes of the forest
Would be satin
Not cotton
Not chinze
I command each thing
Be it fish or fowl
With a roof
And a roof
And a royal growl
(He makes a playful nyah, making everyone chuckle a bit, amazed by this performance)
Tiger: As I click my heels
All the trees would kneel
And the mountains bow
And the bulls kowtow
And the sparrows
Would take wing
If I
If I
Were king
Each rabbit would show
Respect to me
The chipmunks genuflect
To me
Though my claws would lash
I will show compash
For every underling
If I
If I
Were king
Just king
(Then everyone sang with Tiger)
Everyone except Tiger: Each rabbit would show
Respect to him
The chipmunks genuflect
To him
Wes and Bushroot: And his wife
Can be Queen of the May
Tiger: And I'd be monarch
Of all I survey
(Then everyone proceeded to pretend to treat Tiger like a king, even a citizen picked up a nearby green empty flower pot and lets B.E.N. accept it and smash the bottom off with his axe to make it a shape of a crown. After that, Rarity accepts the "Crown" from B.E.N. and crowns Tiger with it as everyone bows to him and Kairi's group placed a dark green satin carpet on him like a kingly robe)
Tiger: Monarch
Of all I survey
Mooooooonarch
Of alllllll
IIIIIII
Surveeeeeey
(Then Kayley's group proceed to ask away playfully)
Rika: You're majesty, if you're a king, you wouldn't be afraid of anything anymore?
Tiger: (Boasting) Not nobody, not no how!
Pinocchio: Not even a rhinoceros?
Tiger: Imposterous!
Yuffie: How about a hippopotamus?
Tiger: I'd trash him from top to bottomous!
Kayley: Suppose you met an elephant?
Tiger: I'd wrap him up in cellephant!
B.E.N.: What if it were a brontosaurus?
Tiger: I'd show him who's king of the fores'!
Everyone except Tiger: How?
Tiger: (Pretending to be shocked) How?!
(He takes his "Robe" off and proceeds to ask away)
Tiger: Courage. What makes a king out of a slave? Courage. What makes a flag on a mast to wave? Courage. What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage. What makes the Sphinx the Seventh Wonder? Courage. What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage. What makes the hottentot so hot? What puts the ape in apricot? What do they got that I ain't got?
Everyone except Tiger: Courage.
Tiger: You can say that again.
(Then they concluded the song)
Tiger: For courage is
The king of kings
For courage
I'd be king of kings
I'll be hailed all around
I'll be throned and crowned
By every living thing
If I
Everyone except Tiger: If he
Tiger: If I
Everyone except Tiger: If he
Tiger: Were king
Everyone: King
(Suddenly, as soon as the song was over, Squidward cleared his throat and made his announcement, getting Kayley's group and the citizens' attention now that the song is over)
Squidward: Evening is here! Anybody who wishes to talk to King Squall and Queen Rinoa before we light the lanterns, come on up!
(Sora's group turned to Kairi's group and the others)
Ventus: Wait until you meet the king and queen themselves!
Kayley’s group except Sora's group: Really?
Sora's group: (Nods) Yep!
Sora: And rest assured, they're nice.
Ray: Then let's go meet 'em.
(They then head over to the courtyard where Squall and Rinoa are lighting the beacons while the citizens resumed what they're doing and Tiger removed his "Crown" and gave it to a citizen who accepted it)
Male citizen 3: I'll keep it for you.
Tiger: Thanks.
(Tiger caught up with Kayley's group and then Squall and Rinoa noticed them approaching upon lighting the last beacon and greeted them)
Squall and Rinoa: Hello, guests.
(They noticed Sora's group)
Rinoa: Sora, you and your friends didn’t find our daughters yet?
Riku: Not yet, but we got great news.
Squall and Rinoa: (Interested) What?
Sora: We found five girls that look like them!
Squall: (Interested even more) Really?
Rinoa: Where are they?
(Kairi's group approached them calmly. They looked at each other in silence for a while and they smiled politely)
Rinoa: Pleased to meet you. I’m Queen Rinoa Heartilly.
Squall: And I’m King Squall Leonhart.
Kairi: My name is Kairi.
Namine: (Gestures to herself and the rest of Kairi's group) And we're her sisters, Namine, Xion, Aqua, and Olette.
Xion, Aqua, and Olette: (Nods) Nice to meet you, you're majesties.
(Squall and Rinoa got interested and surprised)
Squall: That’s strange. Our daughters’ names are Kairi, Namine, Xion, Aqua, and Olette, too, but their last names are Leonhart-Heartilly. And their birthdays are today as well, since all five of them are born the same day in separate years.
Rinoa: And your faces look like them from their baby pictures. And you all have an amulet of your own similar to our daughters’.
Squall: Could it be…?
(A short pause. Then they shrugged)
Kairi's group, Squall, and Rinoa: Nah.
Squall: It couldn't be possible.
Ray: (Agreeing) Yeah, usually those claims that it's really them could be proven false in the end.
Rinoa: But other than that, we like to let you know that you girls and your friends will always be welcome in Emerald City.
Squall: Anytime.
(Kayley's group nods happily. After getting to know each other, Kayley's group, Squall, and Rinoa understood each other)
Rinoa: Well, that's great. I hope you’ll accomplish your dreams, everyone.
Squall: Indeed.
Rinoa: Well, shall we celebrate the festival?
Squall: It’s starting already.
Kayley’s group: Yes, you’re majesties!
(Kayley's group went to the courtyard and joined in the festivities, such as dancing, drawing and painting from Kairi's group, reading a lot of interesting books, eating some delicious food for the festival, and Kairi's group even earning for their own a green flag with an image of a golden sun that resembles a golden flower. As soon as night came, Squidward shouted his announcement)
Squidward: Everyone, it’s time to light the floating lanterns! Anybody who wishes to ride the ship in the lake to see the lanterns’ reflection, come aboard!
(The citizens and Kayley's group cheered a bit. Back at the gates, Razoul exited to await Kayley's group to return. Suddenly, he heard something from within the bushes nearby)
Male voice: (Voice-over) Pssst!
(Razoul goes over to the bush and saw Fat Tony, Legs, Louie, and Johnny there, looking casual as they emerged)
Razoul: What are you mafia men doing here?
Fat Tony: (Casually) Oh, we're just here to talk about this girl and her accomplices.
(Hearing him say that, Razoul got suspicious)
Razoul: You mean Kayley and her group?
Fat Tony: That's them.
Louie: We believe they are associated with Arukenimon, Mummymon, and Splatter Phoenix.
Legs: Heck, they even destroyed our fireworks supplies back at our bar.
(Surprised, Razoul turned to Johnny)
Razoul: Is that true?
Johnny: (Shrugs) Meh, it's true.
(Razoul immediately believed them)
Razoul: I had a feeling they were up to no good.
(Then he negotiated with Fat Tony's gang)
Razoul: So, you want me to lock them up when they come here?
Fat Tony: (Nods smugly) Oh, yes. (In a menacing mafia tone) And tomorrow, we will take them with us, to be taken care of.
(Meanwhile, Kayley's group, unaware along with everyone else of what happened at the gates, boarded the ship with some citizens on board, carrying their own lanterns. Kairi's group got happy and excited)
Aqua: My sisters and I can’t wait to see it up close finally.
Rika: I know.
Kayley: You’ve been waiting for so long.
Yuffie: And then what happens with you?
Kairi: Well, then we’ll see the Wizard when it’s over.
Xion: And our dreams will come true.
Garrett: Exactly.
Ray: And we gonna support each other all the way.
(He looks up at Evangeline)
Ray: Even Evangeline support it.
(Then, standing on the stand of the courtyard, Squall and Rinoa then lit their lanterns with soft sad smiles, and then they lightened up their soft smiles and gently released the lanterns into the air as they floated away into the sky. Soon, the citizens joined in and more lanterns flew into the air. Even Kayley's group on the ship joined in. Kayley, Garrett, and the couples of Sora and Kairi's groups watched with calm passionate smiles along with Kayley's group as Kayley and Kairi's group began singing)
Kairi, Namine, and Xion: All those days
Watching from the windows
Aqua and Olette: All those years
Outside looking in
Kairi's group: All that time
Never even knowing
Just how blind I’ve been
Kayley: Now we’re here
Blinking in the starlight
Now we’re here
Suddenly, we see
Standing here
It’s all so clear
That Kairi's group are
Where they’re meant to be
Kayley and Kairi's group: And at last
I see the light
And it’s like
The fog has lifted
And at last
I see the light
And it’s like
The sky is new
And it’s warm
And real and bright
And the world
Has somehow shifted
All at once
Everything is different
Now that we see you
(They turned to Garrett, Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, and Ventus, who smiled passionately in return. Mushu's group and Ray then silently encouraged Kairi's group to tell their lovers in Sora's group of how they feel for them, which they then do. Then Ray and even the rest of Sora's group silently encouraged Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, and Ventus to do the same)
Kairi: Hey, Sora, guys.
Xion, Aqua, and Olette: Listen.
Namine: We all understand you’ll marry the princesses, but….
Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, and Ventus: We understand.
(Kairi's group got calmly surprised)
Sora: We're all starting to think that maybe you and the princesses might be in common.
Roxas: So….
Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, and Ventus: We like you too.
Kairi's group: (Smiles) Then we wish you and the princesses luck.
(Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, and Ventus smiled back. Kayley and Garrett then spoke to each other)
Kayley: When we get home…?
Garrett: (Nods) It’s a date.
(The rest of Kayley's group gave smiles, a cheer gesture, and/or thumb’s ups for the twelve. Then Garrett, Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, and Ventus began singing)
Sora, Roxas, and Riku: All those days
Chasing down a dream
Terra and Ventus: All those years
Believing in hope
Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, and Ventus: All that time
Never truly seeing
Things that is possible
Garrett: Now we’re here
Suddenly we know
Now we're here
Suddenly, we see
If they’re here
It’s crystal clear
We’re where we’re meant to go
(Kayley and Kairi's group joined in)
Kayley, Garrett, Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, Ventus, and Kairi's group: And at last
I see the light
Garrett, Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, and Ventus: And it’s like
The fog has lifted
Kayley, Garrett, Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, Ventus, and Kairi's group: And at last
I see the light
Kayley and Kairi's group: And it’s like
The sky is new
Kayley, Garrett, Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, Ventus, and Kairi's group: And it’s warm
And real and bright
And the world
Has somehow shifted
(The rest of Kayley's group watched on with calm passionate smiles at the seven couples)
Kayley, Garrett, Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, Ventus, and Kairi's group: All at once
Everything is different
Now that I see you
Now that I see you
(They and the rest of Kayley's group sighed softly. Later, after the lanterns were done and everyone disembarked from the boat and the citizens, Squall, and Rinoa all went to bed, Kayley's group walked through the courtyard and back to the gates. They then approached an angry-looking Razoul, although Kayley's group didn’t know why he is angry)
Yuffie: So, we’re in?
Quackerjack: Are we seeing the Wizard?
Ray: And gettin' our...?
Razoul: (Cutting Ray off) I got good news and bad news.
(Kayley's group got confused)
Razoul: The good news is I told the Wizard you want to see him. However, the bad news is you are denied to go see him.
(Kayley's group got shocked and confused)
Kayley's group: What?!
Razoul: Seize them.
(Then, to Kayley's group's shock, Fat Tony's gang appeared and grabbed them, with Johnny carefully grabbing Ray roughly without squishing him since he's a firefly)
Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrtwist: What's going on?
Ray: Getcha hands offa us!
Razoul: Don't play dumb! You really think you're not gonna get away working for Arukenimon, Mummymon, and Splatter Phoenix?
Kayley's group: (Realizing in shock) What?!
Fat Tony: Come on.
Legs: This way.
(Then they dragged Kayley's group to the dungeon basement's entrance next door to the gates. Once down there, a cell door opened and Kayley's group is forced inside and then the cell door is slammed shut and locked up)
Fat Tony: Enjoy the rest of the night in a cell.
Razoul: And no funny businesses.
(They turned around and left the dungeon with a door slam. Shocked and then angry and/or disappointed, Kayley's group sat down with their backs turned to the cell door)
Pinocchio: So, we came all the way here for nothing, isn't it?
Ray: (Scoffs, eyes the dungeon door's exit bitterly) Guess it somewhat serves us right for gettin' involved with mafia caps like them.
Yuffie: I'll say. This stinks!
Wes: Sorry.
Yuffie: Not you! Our predicament!
Ray: Big difference!
(Kayley and Rika became lost in thought as they got glum and began to think to themselves)
Kayley: (Thinking) We were so close....
Rika: (Thinking) But now it's so far....
(Then they began to remember their homelife back in Kansas as a song played in the background)
Woman: (Voice-over) Be brave, little one
Make a wish for each sad little tear
Hold your head up, though no one is near
Someone's waiting for you
Don't cry, little one
There'll be a smile where a frown used to be
You'll be part of the love that you'll see
Someone's waiting for you
Always keep a little prayer in your pocket
And you're sure to see the light
Soon, there'll be joy and happiness
And your little world will be bright
Have faith, little one
And your hopes and your wishes come true
You must try to be brave, little one
Someone's waiting to love you
(The song over, after their reminiscing, Kayley and Rika suddenly snap out of it when the rest of Kayley's group spoke up to them)
Kairi: Kayley, Rika?
Spike: You okay?
(Kayley and Rika tried to be positive)
Kayley: Oh, yes.
Rika: Um, we can deal with this.
Garrett, Patch, and Renamon: (Flatly) Kayley, Rika….
Terra: You said earlier “Be home in time.”
Yuffie: What did you mean?
Ray: We still confused since you said that earlier.
(Remembering those words they said, Kayley and Rika got glum slowly and remained silent. Concerned, Kayley's group tried to think of a way to cheer the two up)
Quackerjack: Hey, girls?
(He entertained with his Mr. Banana Brain doll upon pulling him out to try and make them laugh)
Quackerjack: (Cheerfully) You will definitely love this joke! (In a high-pitched voice) What kind of dessert does tea like? A cupcake.
(He chuckles a bit in his normal voice, but Kayley and Rika did nothing while the rest of Kayley's group just gave him aghast looks. He then got confused)
Quackerjack: I thought it was funny.
(Then after putting his Mr. Banana Brain doll away, he perked up)
Quackerjack: This could help!
(He makes a goofy face by using his fingers to stretch his mouth, hoping to make Kayley and Rika laugh. Still, Kayley and Rika remained depressed. Then Quackerjack got concerned and let go of himself)
Wes: (Shakes his head in disapproval) That didn't work either.
Quackerjack: It usually does.
Tiger: How about I purr and nyah?
Fievel: I think nothing’s working for Kayley and Rika, Tiger.
B.E.N.: Yeah.
Rarity: What they’re upset about is not seeing the Wizard.
Yuffie: That’s right.
Ray: I don't think any of those cheer up shenanigans'll cheer 'em up at this moment.
Pokey Pierce: Ray is right.
Comet Tail: Something must be making them sad somehow.
Twilight Sparkle: Even the rest of us noticed it since Equestria Village yesterday.
(Kairi's group, Yuffie, Wes, the Fearsome Four, and Ray decided to take their turn, for the second time for Quackerjack that is, to cheer Kayley and Rika up, with Pinkie Pie and Wes respectively about to speak first)
Pinkie Pie: You know, Kayley and Rika, I’m sure your parents are home praying for your safety!
Wes: Probably looking for you even!
(That struck a cord with Kayley and Rika as Rika tensed, much to everyone's notice)
Ray: (Trying to get Wes and Pinkie Pie's attention upon noticing Rika tensing up) Uh, Cher, Cap....
Wes: (Missing the point) Oh, yeah. Even possibly cooking dinner for....
(Rika then got angry and snapped)
Rika: No, they’re not! The reason I believe they have no time to find me and my friends is because me and Kayley's mothers are dying!
(Kayley's Oz group got surprised. What is Rika talking about? Then Ray turned to Wes and Pinkie Pie sternly)
Ray: Tried to warn y'all.
Fluttershy: (Flatly glaring) Temper, temper, temper....
(Rika then realized her temper upon hearing Fluttershy and went glum again)
Rika: Sorry. It's just that Kayley and I are worried sick.
Fluttershy: Worried sick about what?
(Then they see Kayley slowly, and calmly, become sadder even more, like she's gonna break down crying)
Garrett: (To Kayley and Rika, soothingly) Do you think you should tell them?
Renamon: (Agreeing soothingly) It's alright, Rika.
Patch: (Soothingly) Hey....
Sora: I think Rika's shouting seemed to be making Kay....
Kayley: (Glumly) That's not why. It's just.... (Sighs sadly, then drops the subject sadly) All I can say is I was happy before with my friends.
Rika: (Sadly agreeing) And thought my friends and I are going home.
(They hung their heads down in sadness, like they're both calmly going to cry. Seeing this, Kayley's group comforted them both as Kairi's group, Yuffie, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Fluttershy sat beside her and Rika to comfort them)
Fievel: Aw, if you're gonna cry, then please don't, Kayley and Rika.
B.E.N.: We'll try and get us to the Wizard.
Wes: As well as escape this cell.
Pinocchio: We certainly are.
Rika: (Glumly) Neither of us think we will.
Kayley: (Glumly agreeing) We could just be stuck here forever while back home....
(She stops herself and she and Rika got sad even more)
Kayley and Rika: (Glumly) Never mind.
(Noticing this with Kayley's group, Fluttershy spoke up upon remembering something)
Fluttershy: Wait! You, Rika, said a moment ago that you and Kayley's mothers are back home dying. What did you mean by that?
Quackerjack: What happened?
Flash Sentry: Something terrible?
Rainbow Dash: Would you please tell us what's going on?
Megavolt: We told you our problems.
Liquidator: So, what about you?
Bushroot: What are your problems?
Fluttershy: I'm sure we could try and help you feel better once you get this all off of your chests. So, do you really want to talk about it?
(At the cell door outside while Fluttershy said this line, Razoul and Fat Tony's gang, including the rest of the mafia with Barney standing back with a calm smug, yet curious, look for some reason, having heard Rika briefly snapping a moment ago upon returning to the dungeon, unlocked and opened the cell door silently and stood outside the cell to listen in confusion. Back with Kayley's group, who did not notice this, Kayley and Rika, after contemplating that Fluttershy has a good point along with Kayley's group, spoke up finally)
Kayley and Rika: (Sadly) You really want to know?
(Kayley's group nodded. They need to know how to make Kayley and Rika happy again. Then Kayley and Rika sighed sadly and they began their explanation/confession)
Rika: It all started back home in Topeka, Kansas. Me and our friends were walking ourselves home from school, and a cruel woman named Lady Tremaine’s cat, Lucifer, stole Patch and Renamon’s favorite toys out of spite. Patch and Renamon chased him and got them back, but Tremaine hit them both with her broomstick, almost breaking Renamon's wrist. Then Patch and Renamon respectively bit her on the leg and hit her in retaliation, and Tremaine threatened to report to the sheriff their so-called attacks and have Patch put down and Renamon wrongfully arrested just because Renamon defended herself.
(Patch gently placed his paw on Kayley’s lap in comfort while Renamon gently placed her hand on Rika's left shoulder in comfort as Rika continued)
Rika: Anyway, we raced home to tell our families and friends, but they were too busy to listen.
(Then Kayley took her turn, which Rika lets her)
Kayley: Then Tremaine and her family came along and claimed that they got an order from the sheriff to take Patch and Renamon from us, which Rika and I, along with Patch, Renamon, and Garrett, believed is fake. And then our families and friends fell for it and gave Patch and Renamon to them anyway. After they were gone, we got in a fight….
(She closed her eyes tightly to fight the urge to cry, and then opened them again as Rika took her turn, slowly feeling emotional)
Rika: (Voice shaking a bit) And the last thing me and Kayley respectively said to them were, “We hate you," and "We never want to see you again.”
Kayley: (Voice starting to shake a bit) Then Patch and Renamon, having escaped, came back and we ran away from home to escape Tremaine and our problems.
Rika: (Smiling sadly) But then we met our old friend, Professor Von Drake, who showed us cool things from the world.
Kayley: (Smiling sadly for a brief moment in agreement) Which looked really great, (Then her and Rika's sad smiles changed to a sad look again) but then we consulted his crystal ball….
(She holds back her sob)
Kayley: (Voice starting to break) He told us our mothers, after they felt remorseful for not listening to us and believing us, Patch, and Renamon, are suddenly having heart attacks, and are dying from it.
Rika: (Voice starting to break) Like they’re dying from broken hearts.
(She lets out a soft sob as Kayley lets out a big sob as she pulled out her light blue handkerchief, the main one she mentioned keeping for herself earlier, upon realizing she is about to cry. Kayley's Oz group, feeling bad for Kayley and Rika, began to become sad too, except for Garrett, Patch, and Renamon, who just felt sorry for the two girls only. Even Yuffie, Wes, the Fearsome Four, and Pinkie Pie shedded tears as well. But the seven wiped them away, snapping out of their teary-eyed reaction)
Yuffie: Then what happened?
Pinkie Pie: That lead to your house coming here?
(Kayley and Rika tried to fight their tears as they both were about to cry as Kayley fiddled with her handkerchief on her lap)
Kayley: (Voice breaking) We tried to go back to them, but…. (Sobs) A twister hit, taking us away from them.
Rika: (Voice breaking) And that’s how we got here with the house!
(Kayley and Rika finally broke down crying as tears flooded their eyes, spilled down their cheeks, and while Rika buried her face in her hands as she started to finally sob uncontrollably, Kayley, while sobbing finally, buried her face in her handkerchief)
Kayley: (Crying) So, we now understand, (Sniffles) that our mothers and everyone were always there for us!
Rika: (Crying) It's true, they were so good to us. (Sobs) And we never realized and appreciated it, hurting them and their feelings like that!
Kayley and Rika: (Crying) And it’s all our fault!
(Kayley and Rika sobbed uncontrollably again with Kayley still having her face still buried in her handkerchief and Rika still having her face buried in her hands as Kayley's Kansas group and Fluttershy looked on in concern, and sadness for Kayley's Oz group's case, and then began comforting the two crying girls. The two noticed while still continuing to cry with Kayley, while she unburied her face from her handkerchief, and even Rika, unburying her face from her hands, hugged Kairi's group and Fluttershy for comfort, which they hugged back in comfort)
Fluttershy: (Soothingly) There, there....
(Seeing this, Yuffie, Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack tried to fight their sadness and tears that are coming again, heartbroken by the fact that Kayley and Rika are crying for their mothers and wanting to go home, and also heartbreaking that it reminds them of losing their own mothers, and parents for Yuffie's case, on the separate days they died. And to Kayley's Oz group now, they are thinking the same thing; No wonder Garrett, Patch, Renamon, and mostly Kayley and Rika wanted to go home badly. Then Yuffie, Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack, with the first former composing herself in a somewhat emotional way, tried to stay positive and cheered up)
Yuffie: (Composing herself emotionally) Wow, we're sorry to hear that.
Megavolt: (Voice breaking) Don’t cry, girls.
Wes: (Voice breaking) It breaks our hearts to see you cry like that.
Quackerjack: (Voice breaking) Just be cheerful.
Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: (About to cry) Like us!
Ray: (Gently gesturing to them to not make things worse by starting to cry as well) Caps.
(But they stopped themselves emotionally upon hearing Ray)
Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: (Stopping themselves emotionally) Sorry.
Ray: (Reassuringly) Chers, like Yuffie said, we's sorry this happen to you, but y'all gotta try and put it behind.
Kayley: (Crying) But what if we don’t?
Rika: (Crying) We might never see our mothers again as long as we live if they're dead.
Kayley and Rika: (Crying) And if they’re dead, we’ll never forgive ourselves! Never, never, never!
(Kayley and Rika sobbed some more as they continued to hug Kairi's group and Fluttershy for comfort, which Kairi's group and Fluttershy still do. Yuffie, Fluttershy, and the couples of Kairi and Sora's groups then spoke up with reassuring smiles)
Yuffie: Kayley, Rika….
Fluttershy: I'm certain it'll be fine.
Male lovers of Sora's group: So don’t cry, okay....
Kairi's group: We’re sure your mothers might be saved….
(Then the hug ended when Kayley and Rika got emotional even more)
Rika: (Crying) We don't know if that'll happen....
Kayley: (Crying) Rika has a point. (Sobs) All we ever wanted was.... (Sobs again upon becoming emotional) WE JUST WANT TO GO HOME!!!!
(She then blows her nose on her handkerchief and then eased her crying down a bit as she and Riku continued to cry)
Kayley: (Crying) But it might never happen.
(They both sobbed softly some more as Kayley wiped some of her tears away with her handkerchief while Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack, watching this in a saddened way, felt a twinge of emotion coming in them again silently. Then Kairi's group, Yuffie, and the Mane Eight spoke up)
Kairi's group, Yuffie, and Mane Eight: Kayley, Rika....
(But Kayley and Rika, still crying calmly, ignored them. Then finally....)
Kairi's group, Yuffie, and Mane Eight: (Getting their attention) KAYLEY, RIKA!!
(Hearing them, Kayley and Rika calmly stopped crying for a moment and looked at them with tear-stained eyes and cheeks. Even Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack, still fighting their emotions silently, listened. Then Kairi's group, Yuffie, and the Mane Eight reassured them again)
Applejack: There ain't no reason to just give up forever just because both your mamas are gonna kick the buckets.
Mane Eight except Applejack: That's right.
Fluttershy: Even if they are dead, they will stay in your memories.
Yuffie: Never forgotten.
Aqua: They will always be with you.
Kairi's group except Aqua: They have a good point.
Patch: And it could be possible that your mothers might be treated of their heart conditions.
Renamon: That's also true.
Garrett: (Gently wipes a tear away from Kayley's left eye) So, keep your chins up.
(The Fearsome Four nods in agreement too with sad smiles with Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack on the brink of crying. Noticing this with Kayley's group, Kayley and Rika, crying calmly by now, asked away)
Kayley and Rika: (Crying calmly) What's wrong, Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack?
(Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack calmly sniffled a bit as tears slowly flooded their eyes and then they cried calmly)
Quackerjack: (Sniffles, crying calmly) Reminds me, Wes, and Megavolt of us losing our mothers on the separate days they died, along with Yuffie's parents.
Yuffie: (Trying to reassure them) Well....
Wes: (Crying calmly, cutting Yuffie off) And if that's the case, (Sniffles) we, too, know what it's like to lose someone.
Megavolt: (Sniffles, nods) Yes.
(Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack wiped some of their tears away and gave sad smiles, eyes filled with tears still while Yuffie, getting where they're going at, stayed quiet, hoping with the rest of Kayley's group that they'll help cheer Kayley and Rika up, as well as reboost their confidence)
Megavolt: (Crying calmly) It’s like you told us; Our mothers wanted us to be happy for them and everyone else without them.
Wes and Quackerjack: (Crying calmly) That's right, palsies. (right.)
Yuffie: (Nods) Even my parents, God rest their souls, would've wanted it.
Ray: (Agreeing) And Evangeline.
(A brief pause, then Kayley and Rika, smiling sadly, both let out a soft sob and began to wipe their own eyes, with her handkerchief for Kayley's case, calmly as they both sniffled)
Kayley: (Tearfully composing herself slowly) That’s so sweet of you to say that.
Rika: (Tearfully composing herself slowly) And the both of us guess you're right.
Kayley and Rika: (Sniffles, tearfully composing themselves slowly) Thank you.
(Seeing Kayley and Rika still crying while composed themselves, despite that they're also still crying, Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack then pulled their own handkerchiefs from their pockets and Wes held his out to Rika. Even Megavolt and Quackerjack, while smiling tearfully, patted Kayley and Rika in comfort as they fiddled with their handkerchiefs next)
Megavolt: (Sniffles, crying calmly) Like we're telling you, chin up.
Wes: (Sniffles, crying calmly, holding his handkerchief out to Rika) Ladies first.
Quackerjack: (Sniffles, crying calmly) We know you, Kayley, and Fluttershy said Megavolt and I need ours more.
Megavolt: (Crying calmly) That's right.
Wes: (Crying calmly) So, come on, palsies. Blow.
(Calmly and sadly smiling softly, Rika accepted Wes' handkerchief and blew her nose on it and wiped her tears away while Kayley, also calmly smiling sadly, blew her nose on her handkerchief again and wiped her tears away as well as they started to feel better slowly. Then Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack, after Wes reaccepted his handkerchief again from Rika after she finished using it to wipe the last of her tears away and returned it to him, blew their noses next on them and wiped their own tears away with them as well)
Kayley: (To her friends, starting to feel better slowly with a sad smile while fiddling her handkerchief after finishing wiping the last of her tears away) Everyone, thanks for returning the favor to comfort us back. (Eyes Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack, who are brushing their tears clean from their eyes, her sad smile now a gentle smile) Especially you, Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack.
Rika: (Starting to feel better slowly with a gentle smile) You're the best friends we ever had.
Kayley: (Starting to feel better slowly) Without a doubt.
(After Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack finished wiping their tears away, they sniffled powerfully one last time while letting the last of their tears plop from their eyes after blinking them away and they gave a soft smile to Kayley and Rika, feeling better now)
Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: You’re welcome.
(The rest of Kayley's group also smiled calmly, glad to see Kayley, Rika, and even Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack feeling better by now. Bushroot suddenly noticed something behind them and asked in confusion)
Bushroot: What are you crying for?
(Kayley's group and even Kayley, Rika, Wes, Quackerjack, and Megavolt, now cheered up slowly, got confused)
Pinkie Pie: But you saw Kayley, Rika, Wes, Quackerjack, and Megavolt just….
Bushroot: (Correcting her) Not them! (Points at something behind himself and Kayley's group) Those guys.
(Confused, Kayley's group noticed with Bushroot and finally saw Razoul and even the Oz Mafia moved to tears from the whole thing while Barney, who also overheard the whole thing, just smiled softly in a somewhat smug and goofy fashion, as if he's somehow glad to see the Oz Mafia have come to their senses even more for some reason)
Johnny: (Crying) Because that was the saddest story I ever heard!
(He buries his face in his hands, turned away, kneeled down, and cried his eyes out)
Legs: (Crying) We had no idea you had it rough!
Louie: (Crying) So please, guys, do what your friends say and don’t cry anymore!
(Kayley's group continued to watch in confusion as they stood up)
Vittorio: (Crying) Forgive us for this grievous misunderstanding between us!
Frankie: (Crying) But Barney told us what happened between you guys and him, and then we cleared it up with the Boss, our other guys, and Razoul upon arrival!
(Kayley's group looked at Barney in surprise and then gratitude, who nods in approval, as if replying, "It's true" before Razoul tearfully spoke up next)
Razoul: (Crying) So, we'll let you go free since you don't work for Arukenimon, Mummymon, and Splatter Phoenix and I'll let you see the Wizard like I told him! So go to him before I change my mind!
Fat Tony: (Crying, looks at Kayley, Rika, Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack) And you five, about what you just said about losing your mothers; My men and I also miss our mothers, too, along with having ourselves dreams once!
Razoul: (Crying in agreement) Even I had a mother myself once!
(Razoul and the Oz Mafia cried uncontrollably while Fat Tony and Legs tearfully hugged themselves in comfort as they backed off. Surprised and happy now, Kayley's group, upon exiting the cell, headed towards the exit while Kayley, Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack put their own handkerchiefs back in their own pockets)
Kayley's group: Thank you.
(Barney gave a "You're welcome" nod while Razoul and the Oz Mafia eased their crying down calmly as they and Barney let Kayley's group leave the dungeon while Kayley's group watched this)
Fat Tony: (Calming his crying down) I ain't cried like this since I paid to see "Godfather III."
(Then he and Legs tearfully looked at Kayley's group, particularly Kayley and Rika, and then collapsed on the ground in tears, with Fat Tony kneeling on his knees while crying and Legs burying his face in his arms while laying forward on the ground while crying. Then Kayley's group shrugged and then proceeded to leave the dungeon. Suddenly, Kayley's group stopped walking at the steps upon realizing something in confusion)
Kayley's group: Wait a minute!
(They turned to the Oz Mafia, who just composed their crying they finished with Razoul, and then those guys, upon hearing Kayley's group exclaim that upon finishing their composed crying, turned to them with Barney while Fat Tony, Legs, and Johnny stood up, wiping the last of their own tears away)
Barney: (Confused) Did you forget something down here?
Twilight Sparkle: (To Barney) No, we didn't.
Kayley: (To Fat Tony) Fat Tony, you said you and your men had dreams once?
(All composed with Razoul, the Oz Mafia shrugs in agreement)
Legs: Of course we did.
Johnny: What about youse?
(Seeing that caught the Oz Mafia's curiosity alongside Barney's, Kayley's group smiled softly, knowing that they possibly have the same thing in common; Having dreams of their own. Then later, out of the dungeon and in an empty room nearby the gates, Kayley's group revealed their dreams to Barney and the Oz Mafia while Razoul just stood back, calmly waiting impatiently by now with his arms crossed on a nearby column)
Vittorio: So, that's your dreams, huh?
Louie: And I thought our dreams appeared broken. Oh!
Rainbow Dash: Now, what about you?
Ember: What were your dreams?
Kayley: Tell us.
(Deciding to give the answers Kayley's group deserved, Barney and the Oz Mafia agreed and then Fat Tony turned to Frankie)
Fat Tony: Frankie, start it up.
(He throws an accordion to Frankie, who catches it. But Frankie hesitated)
Frankie: But I can't play th....
(Then Fat Tony gave Frankie a death glare, clenching his fist, making Frankie give in immediately and he played the according for a bit in an amateurish way. Then Fat Tony, casting aside his death glare, begins singing to Kayley's group)
Fat Tony: I'm malicious, mean, and scary
My sneer could curdle dairy
And violence-wise, my hands are not the cleanest
But despite my evil look
And my temper and my rep
I've always yearned to be a harpsichord player
(Then he played on a nearby harpsichord greatly)
Fat Tony: Can't you see me on the stage performing Mozart?
Tickling the ivories until they gleam?
(Then he approached Kayley's group as soon as he finished)
Fat Tony: Yep, I'd also like to be called deadly
For my killer showtune medley
(He blows a kiss in the air)
Fat Tony: Thank you
'Cause way down deep inside
I've got a dream
(Then Barney and the Oz Mafia joined in the song as Razoul rolled his eyes in annoyance)
Barney and Oz Mafia: He's got a dream
He's got a dream
Fat Tony: See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem
(He then picks up a nearby stick)
Fat Tony: (Picks up a nearby stick, breaks it in half, and then throws it aside) Though I do like breaking femurs
You can count me with the dreamers
Like everybody else
I've got a dream
(Then Barney, grabbing himself a beer mug nearby and filling it with beer, la-la'ed a bit before Legs, Louie, and Johnny took their turn in the song)
Legs: I've got scars and lumps and bruises
Plus something here that oozes
Louie: And let's not even mention my complexion
But despite my extra toes
Johnny: And my goiter and my nose
Legs, Louie, and Johnny: We really wanna make some love connections
(Louie then gestured to a nearby painting of a woman and her boyfriend in a rowboat hanging on the wall)
Louie: Can't you see me with a special little lady
Rowing in a rowboat down a stream?
Legs: Though we're a bunch of blighters
Johnny: We're sometimes lovers, not fighters
(Then they saw Barney balancing himself on a table that is seesawing as he balanced the beer mug on his head)
Legs, Louie, and Johnny: 'Cause way down deep inside
I've got a dream
(On "Dream," Legs, Louie, and Johnny jumped onto the seesawing table, sending Barney flying through the air with his beer mug, only for his shirt to get hooked to a nearby chandelier that is hanging near the floor)
Legs, Louie, and Johnny: I've got a dream
Fat Tony, Frankie, Vittorio, Barney, and Oz Mafia: They've got a dream
Legs, Louie, and Johnny: I've got a dream
Fat Tony, Frankie, Vittorio, Barney, and Oz Mafia: They've got a dream
(Then Legs, Louie, and Johnny helped Kayley's group free Barney's shirt from the chandelier on a ladder and Barney landed on another table with a crash, but luckily, since the chandelier is a little closer to the floor, he came out unharmed due to the table breaking his fall, and then he happily gave a toast with the beer mug before guzzling some of his beer)
Johnny: And I know one day romance will reign supreme
Louie: Though my face leaves people screaming
There's a child behind it, dreaming
Legs: Like everybody else
Legs, Louie, and Johnny: I've got a dream
(Then the rest of the Oz Mafia explained their dreams)
Frankie: Lefty would like to quit and be a florist
Jimmy the Snitch: Joey the Arsonist does interior designs
Vittorio: Frankie the Squealer is into mime
Johnny: Louie's cupcakes are sublime
Fat Tony, Legs, Louie, Johnny, Frankie, Vittorio, Barney, and Oz Mafia: Righty knits
Jimmy the Snitch sews
Don Vittorio does little puppet shows
Fat Tony: And Johnny Tightlips collects ceramic unicorns
(They look at Johnny, who held a couple of ceramic unicorns in his palm)
Johnny: (Shrugs casually and happily) I can admit it; I like unicorns because of my daughter.
(Then they noticed Razoul still with his arms crossed in annoyance at the column and the Oz Mafia approached him)
Fat Tony: What about you, Razoul?
Razoul: (Confused) Me?
Louie: Yeah, what's your dream?
(But Razoul adamantly refused)
Razoul: No, no, no. That's your personal business. I'm not singing with you.
(But the Oz Mafia aimed their guns at him, surprising him. A second later, the song resumed with Razoul reluctantly joining in in a calm way on top of another table as the Oz Mafia, after putting their guns away, watched him, wanting to see if Razoul will explain his dream for Kayley's group's sake)
Razoul: I have dreams, like you, no, really
Just much less touchy-feely
They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny
(Then he spotted another painting of a tropical island and proceeded to finish his turn in the song, hoping to finish his turn)
Razoul: On an island that I'll go to
Tanned and rested and alone
(Then Fat Tony roughly grabs Razoul by his belt on his torso and yanks him down, with a death glare that reads "And?" Then Razoul quickly finished)
Razoul: Surrounded by my retirement money
(Then the Oz Mafia cheered a bit as Fat Tony then happily released Razoul, who then walked aside in relief as Kayley's group takes their turn)
Kayley, Rika, and Renamon: I've got a dream
Barney and Oz Mafia: She's got a dream
Garrett and Patch: I've got a dream
Barney and Oz Mafia: He's got a dream
Kayley's Kansas group: We just wanna get back home to Kansas
Barney and Oz Mafia: (Cheering a bit) Yeah!
Kairi and Sora's groups: And with every passing hour
We're so glad we're (you're) still out of our (your) tower
Spike and female members of Kayley's group except Kayley, Rika, Renamon, Kairi's group, and Ember: Like all you lovely folks
Ember and male members of Kayley's group except Garrett, Patch, Sora's group, and Spike: I've got a dream
(Then they sang together)
Barney and Oz Mafia: She's got a dream
He's got a dream
They've got a dream
We've got a dream
So our differences ain't really that extreme
We're one big team....
(Then Barney, all punch-drunk from his beer guzzling by now, catapulted Razoul, who was completely unaware that he seated himself on the seesawing table, from the seesawing table onto a nearby barrel by jumping onto the said seesawing table, much to his shock and surprise as the song continued)
Frankie: Call us brutal
Legs: Sick
Fat Tony: Sadistic
Louie and Johnny: And dangerously optimistic
Fat Tony, Legs, Louie, Johnny, Frankie, Vittorio, Barney, and Oz Mafia: 'Cause way down deep inside
I've got a dream
(Then after Razoul fell down and then recovered in annoyance, the song has, by now, reached its finale as Kayley, Rika, and Kairi's group climbed onto a nearby table above the rest of Kayley's group and the Oz Mafia while Barney drunkenly threw the barrel onto the seesawing table and catapulted himself into the air)
Fat Tony: I've got a dream
Legs, Louie, and Johnny: I've got a dream
Frankie, Vittorio, Barney, and Oz Mafia: I've got a dream
Male members of Kayley's group: I've got a dream
Female members of Kayley's group: I've got a dream
Ray and Frankie: Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
(Then they did the song's grand finale as Kayley, Rika, and Kairi's group held a huge net to catch Barney, who is flying towards them)
Everyone except Razoul: (With Barney being drunkened) Yes, way down deep inside
I've got a dreeeeeeaaaaam
(Then on cue as the song ended, Barney was successfully caught in the net held by Kayley, Rika, and Kairi's group)
Everyone except Razoul: (With Barney being drunkened) Yeah!
(Then they cheered and laughed a bit. Later, back at the gates, Kayley's group bidded the Oz Mafia and a very drunk Barney goodbye while Razoul just stood back, deciding to just leave them alone)
Barney: (Drunkenly) I got a dream, I got a dream....
(He lets out a loud burp. Then Fat Tony spoke to Kayley's group)
Fat Tony: And for that, we will drop the monetary favor deal with Yuffie's group.
Kayley's group: (Glad to hear that) Wow, thanks! (thank you!)
Fat Tony: Good luck with your dreams.
Razoul: (Nods nonchalantly) Of course.
Fat Tony: (To Razoul, flatly) Your dream's okay, but amateurish. I was talking about (Gestures to Kayley's group) their dreams.
Razoul: (Shrugs) Whatever.
(Then with that, he left. Then the Oz Mafia, carrying the drunk Barney away with them, left Kayley's group alone to now go see the Wizard. Once alone at the gates, Kayley's Kansas group turned to Kayley's Oz group happily in confidence)
Kayley's Kansas group: Shall we?
Kayley's Oz group: Yep!
(Kayley's group then gathered their courage and entered past the gates slowly, finally going to see the Wizard)
Coming up: Kayley’s group finally presents their dreams to the Wizard himself, but then he agrees to give them their dreams, on the condition that they kill Arukenimon, Mummymon, and Splatter Phoenix, bring him Arukenimon’s wand, and find the lost princesses and stolen DNA matcher that will determine if Kairi's group are, indeed, the lost princesses. Later the next morning, Kayley's group redevelop their confidence by their own encouragements, deciding to go defeat Arukenimon, Mummymon, and Splatter Phoenix.
