Rayman Legends Adventures in Pocahontas 2: Journey to a New World/Script

Jesse pulled out the disc and opened the DVD player. There was suddenly a thunder rumble heard. Patch shook a little and curled up in a ball. He couldn't help it, thunderstorms and dogs just didn't mix. Lex pulled out the DVD remote to start the movie, but once she hit play with the remote, the screen turned black and it took longer for the movie to start, nothing would come up on the screen.
"C'mon..." Lex muttered as she tried to work the movie for them.
"What's going on," Jesse asked.
"The DVD must be scratched......" Lex growled in annoyance as she checked the disc.
"Should I clean it," Patch asked.
"Don't be serious, Patch, but puppy drool is the last fact I want on a DVD that's not even mine," Lex warned him apologetically. She tried rubbing the disc against her shirt, but burst it back in, but once it was in, the power knocked out and it was pitch dark and for some reason, snow seemed to flood into Lex's family living room and they were all buried under it. Where did the snow come from? It was the middle of August.
"W-W-What's going on," Patch asked.
Lex burst her head out from the snow. "How did that happen?!"
Jesse burst his head out as well, but saw they were in an icy forest. "Lex, I don't think we're in your living room anymore..."
Lex looked around and saw he was right. "But...where could we be and how?"
Patch burst his head out from the snow. "I think that movie could have sent us here."
Lex stood up, shaking herself clean, for some reason, she was now in her heavier black jacket and sweatpants. "Well, at least I'm comfortable..." she said, patting down herself as snow fell.
A raccoon who was now hibernating was sniffing around, he had sniffed Lex, looked up to her and grinned, jumping in her arms. Lex looked confused for a moment, but she realized who this raccoon was in specific.
"Meeko!"
The raccoon grinned and jumped at her. Jesse and Patch came out of the snow as well. Jesse was wearing warm weather clothes.
Lex chuckled as she held Meeko close. "Where'd you come from, little friend?"
Patch was wearing a winter jacket to keep himself warm, he needed extra warmth for colder weather, even if he had fur unlike Lex and Jesse. Then he put his ear up as he could hear something the humans couldn't. It sounded like Indian chanting.
"What is this, boy," Jesse asked the Dalmatian puppy.
"I hear something....but...I can't understand it......" Patch said softly.
Meeko jumped from Lex's arms and went with a royal pug dog with a blue Elizabethan collar around his neck and they came to an edge to see Indians carrying baskets of berries over their heads.
"Percy," Lex was wondering why Ratcliffe's dog was with Meeko, she thought they hated each other.
"Wait, Lex, are we where I think we are," Jesse asked, recognizing the scenery.
"It seems so...but how," Lex had to wonder.
Meeko jumped into a basket, eating the fruits he rewarded to himself. Percy tried to jump with him, but landed face-flat in the snow. Patch decided to give it a try and got to a cliff and waited for the basket that Meeko was in. Once it came, Patch jumped in, rewarding himself by eating some of the berries. Meeko munched and actually shared with Patch.
Nakoma glanced up at the animals in her basket, but looked over with a smirk as a snowball was thrown to her. Then she noticed Lex and Jesse coming down the snowy slope. "Lex, is that you..." she asked in surprise.
"Woah," Jesse exclaimed as he tripped and landed in a snowbank.
Lex looked over. "You alright?"
"Yes, I tripped over something," Jesse said before dusting away some snow off his winter clothes.
A snowball was suddenly thrown by them. Lex blinked and looked up. She could see Pocahontas laughing in victory from the snowball throwing like a common child's game.
"Looks like we have an enemy attacking us," Lex said playfully.
"Yes, that's for sure," Nakoma scoffed slightly.
All three of them had their snowballs ready where they could be ready to attack. They all shared a snowball fight, laughing and playing together even if Pocahontas was supposed to work with everyone. Flit the hummingbird was in between the snowballs, flying and squeaking, trying to avoid them, but one hit him in the back, turning him into a tiny snowman on the ground.
"I haven't had this much fun since last winter," Jesse said.
Pocahontas jumped on Nakoma's shoulders, laughing. "Lex?"
"Hey," Lex had a small grin to them.
"What are you doing here," Pocahontas asked curiously, "I thought you went home with John Smith."
"It's a long story, but it's good to see you again," Lex had to admit, even if she had no idea how she came into Pocahontas' world in the first place.
Jesse could believe his eyes he was actually seeing the real-life Pocahontas, but didn't know of what to say to her or how to greet her. Meeko and Patch saw the Indian girls coming and tried to come out of the basket, but Percy was yet inside of it, as Pocahontas and Nakoma incidentally smashed against it.
However, the dogs and raccoon were given a snowboard-like fashion as the Indian girls smashed against it and they ended up flying off another slope. They all slid down the hill, shrieking and laughing as the other Indians worked. Jesse rushed over, even though not knowing of what to say to Pocahontas. They flew off the slope and smashed, but Pocahontas enjoyed it while Nakoma looked hesitant.
"Then, Lex, who's your friend," Pocahontas asked.
"This is Jesse," Lex spoke, but saw Patch burst his head out from under the basket, "that's his puppy, Patch, he's Pongo and Perdita's son."
"What are Dalmatians, one of the dog breeds," Jesse said before extending his hand to Pocahontas, "anyhow, nice to meet you, Pocahontas."
Pocahontas looked at the hand, confused at what Jesse wanted to do with it, but she made an ancient gesture. "Wingapo, Jesse," she greeted.
Then Jesse remembered that she said hello in Indian. "Wingapo, Pocahontas," he said.
Patch looked up, confused. "Which is what?"
"Wingapo, it means hello," Jesse explained to the Dalmatian puppy.
Pocahontas was confused with how Jesse was able to speak to Patch. "Do you listen to the winds," she asked.
"What winds," Jesse wondered.
"My Grandmother Willow says that if you listen to the winds and listen with your heart, you will understand anything," Pocahontas explained, after all, that was how she had to speak with John Smith and he could speak back to her.
"Well, you can warn my ability to speak to animals is like that," Jesse said.
What Jesse said shocked Pocahontas, Nakoma, Meeko, Flit and Percy. Pocahontas grinned, but she thought of something that had been hitting her heart since she first heard the news. Then she walked away to be alone for a moment. Percy and Meeko wanted to see her, but Nakoma distracted them with dog biscuits. She threw them out to the animals, but only Patch and Meeko were able to collect the treats.
"The news about John Smith's death, is that true," Jesse asked.
"Yes...she's yet not over it......" Nakoma said softly.
Lex looked a little grave as she looked to Pocahontas. Jesse knew that Pocahontas could need a friend or two to comfort her. Pocahontas sat on a ledge close to the frozen river as she looked very down. Lex, Jesse, Meeko, Patch and Flit joined her. Percy tried to, but he slipped and fell a little, being rather clumsy with the snow.
Pocahontas looked to the compass John Smith left behind as the wind came with brisk leaves and she was left alone with her thoughts. John Smith might have gone back home and it was likely they would never see each other again, but it was too mournful for her as she heard about his death.
"Poor Pocahontas," Patch said, out of despair.
Meeko pouted for his best human friend.
"She's been like this since she heard the news..." Flit squeaked.
"I just wish that there would be something we could do for the poor girls..." Percy spoke, he had a snooty English accent like his former master and caretaker.
"Yes, but what have we done," Jesse asked.
Pocahontas decided to bury the compass to honor and remember John Smith, even laying her coat against it.
"It'll be alright....." Lex soothed Pocahontas.
Pocahontas looked to her and mournfully grinned. "I know...I just wish I could have said a farewell..."
Patch heard something in the distance. "Say, what's that?"
Percy heard it as well. "The villagers are coming!"
"Yes, it sure looks like someone of very high class is coming," Jesse said.
This was the second time Jesse responded to Percy warning them one fact, Jesse really could speak and understand animals.
"C'mon, guys, let's see what it's all about," Percy said, going away.
Patch followed Percy, he felt like Percy was like a dog mentor for him, a lot better than Thunderbolt was.
There were many people gathered together as a boat was coming up and the people made a big fuss over it.
"This looks like fun," Meeko beamed.
The group looked around and a walk board was held by the ship, making the men who placed it there, saluted. Many soldiers came and a man came on his horse, looking like a knight in shining armor. Pocahontas looked to this man to briefly forget about John Smith.
"John Rolfe..." Lex recognized him from her school history book.
"Looks like we're on official business," Jesse said.
A man hauled a very heavy bag behind them and walked off, looking rude. "Filthy barbarians......" he scowled at Pocahontas and her friends.
"WHAT DID HE WARN ME," Flit got fumed and zipped over, but got his needle-like fashion stuck in the bag, but it broke loose and a biscuit fell out past the raccoon.
"Lunch time," Meeko trilled and followed after it.
"Meeko, no, you don't," Jesse said before going after the raccoon.
Meeko and Percy were going past John Rolfe on his horse to retrieve the cookie. The horse bucked up a little wildly because of the unwanted guests. Rolfe tried to console his horse, but it ended up to be too much for him and the horse went away, knocking him to the ground. The horse was now making its road to the same man called Pocahontas a barbarian, looking as if it was going to run him over. John Rolfe grumbled slightly as he was on the ground.
"Are you alright, sir," Lex asked, trying not to address the man by name.
"I'll be fine..." Rolfe warned her gently, though not happy to be bucked up like that.
"I'm very sorry, sir, my animal friends didn't mean to alarm your horse," Jesse said, also trying not to address him by his name.
"That's pretty good, I'm sure they weren't serious..." Rolfe said gently.
Pocahontas pushed the man out of the road before the horse could trample him.
The man growled, instead of thanking Pocahontas, he hit the young woman out of his road like she were a disgrace. "Filthy savage!"
"Wait," Patch barked at the man, "he just saved your life, sir!"
The man couldn't understand what Patch was saying only got to hear him barking at him, causing to annoy him.
"Rotten mutt," the man sneered, kicking Patch out of his road, but growled slightly.
The Indians had seen Pocahontas get hurt, where they rushed to the village.
"Oh, dear..." Lex didn't like where this was going.
The villagers recoiled in horror as the Indians were coming and many guards tried to shoot them with their rifles.
Patch frowned at the man, but then saw what was going on. "Oh, dear, this isn't good," he said.
The Indians pulled their arrows, as Pocahontas and Lex rushed over to them to hopefully stop them.
"No, wait," Pocahontas called.
"Please, don't, wait," Lex also called.
Rolfe saw Pocahontas and decided to help her. "Get out now," he commanded sharply.
The villagers didn't want to, but they listened to him and withdrew their weapons.
"Wow, thank heavens," Jesse said, out of relief.
The Indians decided to also listen to Pocahontas, who put their bows and arrows away while calling Roscoe Lee Browne's name.
"It's alright now," Rolfe warned Pocahontas and Lex, "I've taken care of that."
"The settlers need to know that they can trust us," Pocahontas was disgusted that almost nothing had changed, even if the villagers moved into the land after John Smith left, "they can trust us to do the right fact. You shouldn't have interfered."
"I beg your pardon," Rolfe glanced to her.
"Alright, you have it..." Pocahontas felt annoyed with him now.
Though Lex knew that they were going to fall in love, she pretended to be annoyed with John Rolfe and Pocahontas.
"It looks like John Rolfe is having damage," Patch said.
"Don't worry, I may not have seen this movie, but they actually have a happy life together before she dies," Lex whispered to Patch, "they even have a child together."
"Really," Patch sounded surprised.
"Yes, they called him Thomas," Lex grinned softly.
"C'mon, guys," Pocahontas called to her friends as she walked off from John Rolfe.
Lex, Jesse and Patch went to follow her.
John Rolfe wanted to say more to Pocahontas, but walked away in a huff. "Women," he scoffed.
"Let's hope Pocahontas didn't hear that," Patch said.
"You just have to stay tonight," Pocahontas warned her old friend, "there's a ceremony tonight."
"Really, how come," Lex asked.
"It's a wonderful tradition," Pocahontas grinned, "there'll be fire and dancing..."
"Well, I think we can fit it into our schedule," Lex chuckled.
"Will your friends join us," Pocahontas asked.
"Of course," Jesse and Patch said.
Pocahontas grinned.
Later that night, the ceremony began and the tribe was very thrilled to have Lex back for a visit. They were also very welcoming to let Jesse and Patch join their fun as they did the fire dance. There was a lot of great food to eat such as succulent turkey, corn on the cob, along with various fruits. One of the men was about to eat the corn on his plate, but it was stolen by Meeko as he reached for a turkey leg. Patch even joined in the dance seeing at how much fun it looked and even brought Jesse with him to join in as well.
"Lex, you're really great at this," Pocahontas grinned.
"Oh, don't look at me...." Lex pouted as she danced, "I'm going to throw myself on the ground now!"
Chief Powhatan grinned in admiration as his people were in joy of tonight. Patch and Jesse were even enjoying themselves at the festival. Everyone kept dancing and had fun. That was, until John Rolfe decided to come past for a visit with his horse. This made everybody and everything instantly stop.
"Great Chief," Rolfe greeted Powhatan, "I am John Rolfe....according to customs......"
A very tall and bulky guard stood in front of him, folding his arms, but not speaking to the Englishman.
"Um, sir, this man came to you for business," Jesse said to Chief Powhatan.
"Let him pass..." Powhatan allowed it.
The tall Indian walked off, allowing John Rolfe to speak with the chief.
"Yes, thank you," Rolfe warned Jesse before going to the chief of these people, "according to British customs, I would like to present this horse as a gift to the mighty Pocahontas and Lex."
"Daughter and friend," Powhatan called.
"You," Rolfe was surprised to see Pocahontas and Lex again, he head heard of them, but didn't expect them to be the ones he rudely interacted with.
"This beast is for you," Powhatan warned the girls.
"Wait, they sent a man to give the chief's daughter and friend a horse," Patch asked.
"I'm sorry, this horse is meant to....." Rolfe sounded sheepish.
"Pocahontas and Lex, said your king, or spoke falsely," Powhatan questioned.
"No...never...just this..." Rolfe grew sheepish, "this is...no, it's alright..."
Pocahontas grinned and petted the horse, perhaps she could get used to it. Meeko even came to see the horse, poking at it.
"Meeko, I wouldn't do that if I were you," Jesse cautioned.
Meeko didn't listen, he just did it and with a snort from the horse, he was blown back instantly.
"I believe we can thrive together in this great country under the merciful rule of King James," Role warned the chief, "to build trust...I would like you to set sail with me to meet my king."
"I do not want the land of the pale chief," Powhatan warned him strictly, "he wants mine. Why does HE not cross the salt lake to see me?"
"I'm afraid it just wasn't done," Rolfe said apologetically, "your big chief."
"Your kind of barbarians who only want our country," one Indian protested.
"They don't seem to trust all Americans or people from England," Patch said.
"Then it happened," Lex warned the puppy silently, "people couldn't trust anyone other than them."
"Is this what they want," Pocahontas stopped the one rampaging Indian man. "You don't know..." she looked to the Chief, "Father, someone has to go."
"You speak the language of a pale man," the Indian frowned at Pocahontas, "you belong to them! Maybe you should go!"
Nakoma gasped for her best friend.
"No," Rolfe declined, "this is a matter of diplomacy, you can't handle a job like this."
Pocahontas looked at him, but looked to her father again. "I will go."
"I'll go with her as well," Lex added, she was treated like a member of the tribe's family, even if she wasn't one of them.
"Girls..." Powhatan wasn't so sure about this.
"Me and my puppy, Patch will go with them as well, sir," Jesse said.
Powhatan sighed, he would let it happen, but he wasn't sure, he put his arm around his daughter though. "You have your mother's spirit...very well, it's decided."
"But..." Rolfe spoke up, which gave him a death frown. "Grand..." he said after a sharp sigh.
Pocahontas looked to John Rolfe, she wasn't sure what to make of him right now.
"This is going to be a real adventure," Patch said.
"Where's Pocahontas going," Jesse noticed the Indian girl was leaving with the horse.
Lex looked in the direction and followed with Meeko and Percy. "The only person she can really speak to at a time like this..." she said, but turned back to them, "Grandma Willow."
"Then let's join her, I've always wanted to meet her in person," Jesse said.
"Rather on the tree....." Lex chuckled.
Pocahontas rode on the horse through the snow with her friends following behind her.
"This Grandma Willow must be very reluctant," Patch said.
Pocahontas sat with Lex on the edge once they got there and she let the horse stand for a moment. "Grandma Willow, we need to speak to you."
Grandmother Willow's face appeared on the tree, but there was some snow on her nose. She blew it off and then grinned at her visitors. "Is this my Pocahontas with little Lex?"
"I'm not that small anymore," Lex chuckled.
"That's true, Grandma Willow, Lex grew up," Jesse added.
"Oh, and who's this," Grandmother Willow asked, noticing Jesse.
"A new friend..." Lex said.
"I see...we'll meet soon," Willow said, but looked to Pocahontas, sensing her depression, "my...what is this, my child? You're worried about crossing the saltwater..."
"What if we can't bring peace," Pocahontas asked, fearing a failure, "what if we're destined to fail? What if we make matters worse?"
"Wow, she's really concerned," Patch said.
Grandmother Willow tried to calm Pocahontas. "What if the heavens turn to fire and your nose falls off?"
Meeko gasped and cupped his nose, feeling fearful suddenly.
"I warned you a long time ago to listen with your heart," Grandmother Willow soothed, "it's time to listen TO your heart."
"But the ghosts around us......" Lex started.
"It can help," Grandmother Willow stopped her. "But only ghosts inside can guide you," she let her leaves show the water and had them all look into it.
"Wow," Patch said.
"Listen to the spirit within you..." Grandmother Willow whispered to them.
"Listen to the spirit within you..." Lex and Pocahontas echoed. Then they both shut their eyes and went deep into thought.
Flit squeaked though while Meeko munched on berries, and Percy was scratching himself and many other animals were heard.
'They can't focus on everyone making so much noise,' Jesse thought.
"Ugh..." Lex had a headache now.
"Grandma Willow," Pocahontas looked for her spiritual guide, but she seemed to be gone now.
Grandmother Willow briefly appeared to grin at the girls, she believed in them, but she disappeared again.
"Well, girls, we better go back and get some sleep," Jesse said.
"We've had a big day ahead of us," Lex said.
Pocahontas nodded, but got back on the horse to take them back to the village.
"Let's hope tomorrow won't be such a challenge," Patch said.
"We can only hope....." Lex said.
"I just hope we can let the ghosts guide us without any damage," Pocahontas sighed.
"Yes, let's hope so," Jesse said.
Pocahontas set the horse up as she went to take Lex, Jesse and Patch to where she lived to give them a more comfortable space to sleep among than the others. Tomorrow was going to be a long day. Lex stretched a little before bed, but she got to bed, yawning and falling asleep once she got warmed up and cuddled in her new bedding. Jesse and Patch shared their little bed as best as they could and where it was big enough for the both of them.
"Bonne nuit," Pocahontas warned her friends, "good night..."
"Buenas noches, Pocahontas," Jesse and Patch said before going to sleep.
They all slept through the night alright and around the crack of dawn, the villagers had awakened to get set to meet with King James and his Queen.
Powhatan was with his trusted bodyguard, Uttamatomakkin, or Abaddon for short. Powhatan let him watch over Pocahontas and Lex as they were ready to get set sail with John Rolfe.
"Well, we're ready," Jesse said.
"Yes..." Pocahontas nodded, but she took off her bag and opened to see her animal friends were joining her.
"Guys, we're very sorry, but this time you can't come with us," Lex said as she held Meeko.
"She's right," Pocahontas said as she took Flit into her arms, "stay away from mischief and watch out for each other."
Meeko, Percy and Flit really didn't want to go without Pocahontas. Patch was past them and even pouting and whining to the humans.
"Guys, follow in my footsteps....." Meeko whispered as he saw a box, getting an idea.
Pocahontas, Jesse and Lex went to get on the boat as the animals sobbed for them.
After they left for the ship, Patch looked to Meeko and whispered. "What now?"
"Wait for it..." Meeko whispered.
Nakoma walked over to see the trio before they would head away. "Do not forget this country," she warned them.
"You will always be with us," Pocahontas promised.
Nakoma started to weep as she went back to the village. Patch, Flit and Percy began to follow Meeko. Nakoma knew this journey to the New World meant that she might never see each other again, where she swiftly gave Pocahontas and Lex hugs. Pocahontas started to weep herself. It was now time to go and John Rolfe was waiting for them, but rather patiently. Pocahontas turned back to her family one last time before they would be away. Uti started to climb aboard.
"Wait, what's this," Rolfe noticed him.
"This is tomorrow's market," Pocahontas explained.
Uti frowned at him before going to the girls.
"Well, is Uttama...Uttamakk..." Rolfe attempted with the name, but gave up, "is he coming with us? Are you coming with us?"
Uti didn't respond him, however.
"Yes, he's coming with us," Jesse said, responding for Uti.
"Can't you hear me," Rolfe sounded aggressive.
Uti took out a sheath to make Rolfe shut up and he cut against Powhatan's wooden staff that had been given to him. Lex looked out as they were about to leave and go to England.
"This is going to be one intense adventure," Jesse said.
"Uh-huh..." Lex said as the anchor was set and the sailors were ready to travel through the sea.
Chief Powhatan rode Pocahontas and Lex's horse and watched the boat leave.
"Farewell, Father..." Pocahontas whispered as she caught a glimpse of him.
The wind and leaves blew among, sensing Pocahontas's departure as they were leaving home. What none of them knew was that Patch, Percy, Flit and Meeko were all on the ship as well, but were hiding. The journey just wouldn't go overnight, it would take more than one day to make it to England. Hopefully, in the end, it would all be worth it. But the journey wasn't going to be pleasant for either Lex or Meeko.
"Are you alright, Lex," Pocahontas asked.
Lex gulped as she turned a sickly green color. "Seasickness..."
"Yes, Lex isn't that good at traveling across the ocean in boats," Jesse added.
"Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that..." Pocahontas said, gently patting her face.
A bunch of sailors came to swab the deck, not really willing to, but they had to.
"I really wish Patch, Meeko, Percy and Flit would have come with us," Jesse sighed.
"I'm sorry, Jesse, but we can't..." Pocahontas said softly.
There was a confusion heard on the other side of the ship and a familiar raccoon rushed over. Pocahontas was surprised to see him, but she decided to hold him. Meeko passed Pocahontas and he went to the edge, losing his lunch into the ocean.
"Looks like they're going to board as well without either of us knowing," Jesse said.
"We're going to be in danger..." Pocahontas said, but she cuddled with Meeko, actually a little glad to see him.
"We had to come," Flit squeaked.
Percy came up as well, looking a little dazed. "Easy now, lad..." he warned Patch gently, he sort of acted like a second father to Patch.
"Yes, sir," Patch said politely.
"I need to lie down for a bit..." Percy hiccuped, stumbling across deck.
"Is that dog drunk," Lex mumbled.
"Percy Ratcliffe at your service..." Percy said in a daze before falling on his four legs.
"I think so," Jesse said.
Pocahontas merely sighed at her animal friends.
"What's this all about then," the captain called sharply, his hands on his hips, "look, children, I don't like stowaways and I won't let them get in the road of my crew. You can all take this trip below..."
Uti came behind the captain, frowning at him for threatening Pocahontas and Lex.
"Or in the brig...." the captain continued, about to unleash his weapon.
Rolfe stopped him. "A guest of the king must be treated as such. Am I clear, Captain?"
The captain glanced at him, putting his sword off and just walked away.
"Whew, that could have gotten messed up," Patch said.
"Mr. Rolfe, why did you do this," Lex asked, now able to call the man by his name.
"Because, like it or not, you and Pocahontas are the ones sent and I have the honor to protect you," Rolfe explained. "And honor, ladies, is the backbone of our civilization. Thank you..." he walked away, rather mysteriously.
Pocahontas felt honored by him as she held Meeko and he went away from them with a bow.
"Meeko, are you sick," Patch asked the raccoon.
"Not as much as before......" Meeko gently trilled, but stayed in Pocahontas's arms.
"How long until we get here," Lex asked.
"John Rolfe said not for another day, we should be there tomorrow," Pocahontas replied.
"Nice," Patch said, "let's just hope Flit can learn to behave himself by then."
Pocahontas had a small chuckle.
The boat kept slowly going across the water. Night fell and they spent the night in hammocks on the ship, and as the sun was starting to rise for morning the next day, seagulls chirped.
"LAND HO," a sailor called.
Cannons boomed in response to this.
"Dammit! What the hell is that with cannons," Jesse and Patch asked out of frustration.
"I think it's a custom," Lex shrugged.
Pocahontas rushed out on deck to see England for the first time.
"COMPLETE SAILS," a man shouts.
Rolfe watched Pocahontas and he grinned, he seemed to be happy that she was happy.
"We're about to see what London was like," Patch said.
"Say, perhaps we found some of your ancestors," Lex said to Patch as they rode in.
So far, all they could see was fog, but it swiftly cleared up to show a ship's port with other boats as they were about to settle into London.
"What I missed," Meeko muttered as he came up as Percy and Flit watched this for themselves.
"We just arrived in London," Patch and Jesse said to him.
Uti dug at the wooden stake again a little roughly. A walking board was placed by the ship, allowing the shipmates to come down and journey into the New World that was England. People gasped once they saw Pocahontas look out, but Rolfe stood side-by-side.
"Welcome to London," Rolfe warned them all with a friendly grin.
"Wow..." Patch said, "England sure looks different."
"Yes," Jesse agreed.
"It's the 17th century, what do you expect," Lex looked to them.
"Come with me, all of you, there's a carriage for us," Rolfe warned them, walking down the plank.
There was a woman with deathly pale skin and holding the hands of her two children, a son and a daughter. "Welcome back to London, John Rolfe," she warned him in an old time English accent.
"Thank you, Madame Bonfamille," Rolfe bowed to her, "may I trust to see you with the King and Queen?"
"Yes, as soon as I find a babysitter for my children," Madame Bonfamille replied.
"Could one of your sons be Georges Hautecourt," Patch asked.
"I doubt it..." Lex mumbled, but looked to the woman, "excuse me, ma'am, what children do you have?"
Madame Bonfamille introduced her children to the company. "This is my oldest, Toulouse..." she gestured to the son, but gestured to the girl, "and this is my daughter, Marie...my third and last child is with Mrs. Jenkins and everyone's waiting for you, Mr. Rolfe."
"Thank you, Madame Bonfamille," Rolfe showed his respect for her, "we'll meet you there and I'll introduce you to Pocahontas and her friends."
"Come in, old comrades, it's been a long time since I've had such luxury," Percy barked once he took a seat in the wagon.
"Yes, sir," Patch said, coming into the hackney.
"Must we," Rolfe invited Uti, who merely stared at him in return, "at ease."
Flit sat next to the driver. The driver stared at the hummingbird, but shrugged it away and let the horses go to their decimated area. The people in town seemed to be singing about their day in London. Rolfe bobbed his head along as they traveled, but looked surprised as Pocahontas wasn't across from him anymore. Pocahontas decided to leave with Flit, Meeko and Percy to go exploring, she couldn't sit silent any longer. Jesse and Patch joined her.
"Delicious, dessert," Meeko beamed once he saw pies.
Pocahontas looked at the sheep, grinning at them. Rolfe tried to look for Pocahontas.
"I better help them," Lex said, getting out of the hansom as well.
Pocahontas saw the various townspeople and she climbed up a tree, looking around. Jesse and Patch joined her up the tree. The townspeople were curious at what to make of their new inhabitants, but seemed accepting so far. Pocahontas ran with them, passing townspeople and crossing a bridge and everything tasted like she could never describe. A wildly driven gig was passing them once they all met up together.
"That's not our landau....." Lex realized.
"It's not," Rolfe informed her.
"Oh, dear, not him," Percy yelped and ran off, whining.
"Wait, sir, is that your former owner," Patch asked.
"Yes," Percy shook, hiding behind a wagon wheel, "I don't like him very much..."
Ratcliffe stepped out of the trap, revealing himself, Pocahontas and Lex were shocked to see him again. Though oddly enough, he didn't have Wiggins side-by-side.
"YOU," Pocahontas and Lex growled at him, but Rolfe restrained them.
Uti stood in front of Ratcliffe, frowning down at him.
Ratcliffe was visibly afraid of Uti, but chuckled to Rolfe. "Very well, Rolfe...bringing back some heavens to set an example. Look at them," he chuckled, due to the tone of her skin and relationship with the Powhatan tribe, he believed Lex was also an Indian, "they stand out like a pair of sore thumbs."
"You're the one who speaks about how fat you are," Jesse retorted.
Ratcliffe growled at him.
Rolfe stepped in. "Pocahontas and Lex are here as emissaries as Pocahontas's people," he warned the governor sharply, "the king's personal guests."
"The King appointed me to lead an armada against the savages," Ratcliffe said, taking out a scrolled contact, "don't let me know you didn't know...the King wants your gold."
"We warned you a thousand times, the Powhatan Tribe didn't have gold to start with," Lex hissed at him.
"Another barbaric lie," Ratcliffe retorted.
"She's not lying, they don't really have gold," Jesse frowned at him.
Ratcliffe scoffed as he took his paper back. "Once the ships are armed, I set sail to destroy the heavens and retrieve Jamestown for James," he went back to his caravan and rode away after the whip crack for the horse to get moving.
Percy shook a little and watched his former master leave. "Do you think he saw me?"
"It's going to be alright, sir..." Patch consoled the older dog.
Pocahontas didn't let Ratcliffe get away like that, where she rushed to the cart. "We need to stop him! Warn your king of his lies!"
"But he wasn't lying," Rolfe said as gentle as he could, "the parchment had the King's seal."
"Not that lie, Pocahontas's people's lies have gold," Jesse said.
"A king doesn't lie," Rolfe warned them.
"They cannot be real," Pocahontas sounded very frustrated.
"No, i-it's a misunderstanding, it has to be," Rolfe wasn't sure himself, but didn't let them go to him. "I can fix this....c'mon," he took them back to their transportation.
Once Percy and Patch came in, Rolfe shut the door and turned back to Uti. "Are you riding or running," he asked, but all he had was scolding silence, where he shrugged, "Madame Bonfamille should be there if we're through."
"She seems like a very nice lady," Jesse said.
"I always wondered about the woman that Annie Greenwood is..." Lex spoke up, very curious, she had heard some stories about the woman, but of course, would never have had the chance to actually meet her.
"She and Mrs. Jenkins are very close, almost like sisters," Rolfe assured them with a grin.
Night had fallen by the time they had arrived to where Rolfe wanted to take them.
"Wow, it's already night," Patch said.
"I'm sorry it took so long..." Rolfe warned them once the transport stopped.
Pocahontas arrived at the front door with her friends, very eager to see what a home in London was like.
Rolfe got the door and opened it. "Mrs. Jenkins," he called, followed by glass shattering upstairs.
"What was that," Patch asked.
"Sounds like Mrs. Jenkins is coming," Jesse said.
"Gads-me-gracious," a woman who wasn't Madame Bonfamille appeared at the top of the stairs. "Is that my Johnny," she rushed downstairs, taking Meeko in her hands and kissing his face, chuckling.
"Forgive me, Jean, but I believe you need your glasses," Madame Bonfamille chuckled as she went to accompany her friend in need.
"And perhaps, they need new glasses," Patch shuddered.
"Uh, Johnny, you need a bath...." Mrs. Jenkins dropped the raccoon.
Madame Bonfamille found her friend's glasses and placed them on her eyes. "Fortunately, you didn't lose them before we bathed little Junior."
Meeko sniffed himself, wondering if he smelled dirty to the almost blind woman.
"Wait, isn't Hautecourt's first name Junior," Jesse whispered.
"I don't know..." Lex admitted.
Pocahontas grinned at the bond between John Rolfe and Mrs. Jenkins.
"Oh, speaking of which....excuse me..." Madame Bonfamille left the room, hearing the cry of an infant.
"Strange, I even smell Junior's fragrance," Patch said.
Madame Bonfamille came back with a blonde-haired infant, but gently placed a bottle in his mouth.
"Woah...it feels so weird to see Berlioz as a baby..." Lex mumbled, but spoke up. "Excuse me, Madame Bonfamille, but where is Georges Hautecourt," she asked, referring to the father of three children.
Madame Bonfamille's grin disappeared. "I'm afraid Georges Hautecourt is no longer with us...he left if my little Junior was born..."
"Well, you mean he just left you because he couldn't take the pressure of having to raise another child," Jesse asked out of shock.
"Well...that's why I'd like to believe, but it's not true...." Madame Bonfamille said as she fed her baby.
"Then what was the reason," Jesse asked.
Madame Bonfamille sat on the couch with Lex and Jesse on her sides. "Well...you see...my husband was at war for sometime...I was very lonely without him and I needed something to fulfill myself...the children grew up and I felt the empty nest syndrome come up...I met this man in a tavern and we started speaking...we were a little bit drunk...and a while later, I found out that I was very sick and the doctor warned me I was pregnant."
"Wow," Jesse said.
"I'm very sorry to hear that..." Lex said as she looked to the baby.
"Me as well...I just hope that I can find a road to take care of my three children by myself..." Madame Bonfamille sighed, "I have no one else....."
"What about your parents," Jesse suggested.
Madame Bonfamille looked long-suffering as much as her future son did on a regular basis. "My parents died in a fire if I was seven years old..."
"Oh, my heavens...I'm very sorry for your loss," Jesse said.
"It's alright..." Madame Bonfamille sighed as she started to burp her baby, "I have Jean with me.....she's like the sister if I've always dreamed of..."
"Madame Bonfamille, I see you met Lex and Jesse, you remember Pocahontas, don't you," Rolfe came to meet with the mother with the two kids she was not related to, though sometime in the future, the girl would become her daughter-in-law.
"Of course...so nice to meet you, darling..." Madame Bonfamille grinned to the Indian woman.
"It's very nice to meet you too," Pocahontas said.
"Annie," Mrs. Jenkins burst her head in, "would you like to help me with some tea?"
"Sure, darling," Madame Bonfamille grinned, but allowed Jesse to hold baby Junior as she stood up.
Lex watched Mrs. Jenkins, kind of studying her. "That woman makes me think of Mrs. Potts for some reason..."
"Yes," Jesse said while holding baby Junior the correct fashion.
Junior didn't seem to coo or blubber like many other babies, he looked very stoic once his mother was gone. He even tried to reach for her as she went off with Mrs. Jenkins to make tea for the guests.
"I'm going to the King," Rolfe said, putting on his hat.
Pocahontas stopped him. "I want to go with you."
"Oh, Pocahontas, kingdoms in England are very complex," Rolfe warned her, he didn't want to offend her, but due to Belle's upbringing, she might not be able to understand.
"We have to find out how it went if he comes back," Jesse said.
Pocahontas yet wanted to go, but John Rolfe promised that she could meet the King soon, but not this time. Pocahontas pouted as she was shut out like this. Mrs. Jenkins and Madame Bonfamille set tea and mini sandwiches down for the guests. Uti wondered what the treats were, but once he ate one of the finger sandwiches, he enjoyed it. Patch and Meeko even wanted the submarine sandwiches, where they took all of them. Uti picked up the Dalmatian puppy and raccoon, looking rather cross with them.
Meeko blinked, but offered one of the sandwiches to Uti to avoid getting seriously hurt.
"Please don't hurt us," Patch said, afraid of Uti.
"Then you have two more children," Lex asked as Madame Bonfamille came back to do some cleaning with Mrs. Jenkins.
"Yes, Abigail and Amelia," Madame Bonfamille replied, "Tim Murphy is their father...but not Junior's....I don't know who his father is anymore...but...I love him any matter......"
"That's good to know," Jesse said.
Mrs. Jenkins dropped her glasses again, she turned a painting upside down as she continued to dust. Pocahontas and Lex came to see the woman.
"We have to find a road to warn my people to stop..." Pocahontas said in warning.
"Leave it to Johnny," Mrs. Jenkins soothed, "he gave you his word as gentlemen, dear ones. You can stake your life on that."
"Uh, ma'am, the painting is upside down," Jesse said.
"Are you sure," Mrs. Jenkins turned back to it, "it looks good to me!"
"Jean..." Madame Bonfamille sighed, giving her friend her glasses back.
Mrs. Jenkins put them on and saw the upside down painting. "Well, who was so reckless as to turn this upside down?"
"Um, Mrs. Jenkins, your glasses fall off from time to time," Jesse asked.
"These blooming glasses don't know how to stay silent," Mrs. Jenkins snorted.
"I always warn her that she needs new ones, but she doesn't listen to me," Madame Bonfamille chuckled, teasing her friend.
"I wonder why," Jesse said.
"Um, Mrs. Jenkins, if you don't mind if I ask, do you have any living relatives," Lex asked, feeling like Mrs. Jenkins could be blood related to Mrs. Potts, "any blood relatives?"
"My children are with their grandfather right now," Mrs. Jenkins replied, "I have 12."
"Do you have a daughter named Sara?"
"Yes, actually," Mrs. Jenkins grinned, "she loves helping her mother with tea festivities."
"Your daughter could be the same Sara Crewe," Jesse whispered.
Pocahontas wanted to be left alone, where she went outside to have a think.
"That must be difficult for her," Patch said.
"I'm sure she'll be fine....." Lex whispered.
"Oh, I do hope so," Patch said.
"We should just leave her alone until she needs us," Lex advised.
"Alright," Patch said.
Madame Bonfamille and Mrs. Jenkins continued to clean until Rolfe came back, speaking that his meeting with the King and Queen was a disaster.
"Looks like the meeting didn't go well," Patch said.
"It didn't," Rolfe sighed, "where's Pocahontas? I have to warn you that you've been invited to a hunting ball..."
"She's in the backyard," Lex replied, gesturing to the back door.
"Thank you," Rolfe walked away, going to see the Indian.
"Flapjacks..." Mrs. Jenkins muttered silently.
"What's going on," Patch asked, "what's the hunter's ball?"
"This is bad news for Pocahontas, especially since this is bear-baiting," Jesse said.
Pocahontas and John Rolfe came back through the doors. They explained everything and Pocahontas was willing to go through with it. They all had to look their best as they were going to meet with royalty. Mrs. Jenkins and Madame Bonfamille looked for some women's clothes for the girls to borrow while Rolfe would look for something for Jesse to wear. It was hard to find something in Jesse's size, but Rolfe was eventually able to find a suit for him that looked like he would look like a prince.
"What color do you prefer, Jesse," Rolfe asked as he found some clothes that would be Jesse's size.
"Mm...red," Jesse said.
Rolfe gave a nod, but gave him a red suit to wear.
"John Rolfe, Jesse," Pocahontas came in, wearing frilly pink underclothes.
Rolfe gasped at the sight, a little embarrassed.
"How am I," Pocahontas chuckled, thinking this was an English outfit.
"Oh...lovely..." Rolfe covered his eyes, "in your...underwear..."
Jesse covered Patch's eyes with his left hand while he covered his own eyes with his right hand. "Um, Mrs. Jenkins," he called out.
The woman came past after a smash and she was alarmed to see Pocahontas dressed like that.
"Oh, my heavens," Mrs. Jenkins came to take Pocahontas away back to the dressing room, "come now, let's complete your dressing..."
"That was embarrassing," Jesse muttered.
"Warn me about it....." Patch shuddered a little.
"Back to work now, gentlemen..." Rolfe said as he looked for more clothes for Jesse.
Pocahontas stared at the clothes she was going to have to wear now.
"For some reason, this makes me think about Prudence and Cinderella if the Prince and Jesse had to go before preparations for the spring feast," Lex muttered to herself.
Mrs. Jenkins began to help them with getting dressed. Pocahontas was playing with a corset, wondering how to wear it. Mrs. Jenkins chuckled, but helped get her and Lex together where they would look suitable enough to meet royalty.
Meeko and Flit watched at how it all worked. Lex and Pocahontas groaned with the tightening of the corsets and they were forced into fluffy and pretty dresses to look dressed for royals. Mrs. Jenkins assured them that she believed that the King would be impressed with their new looks. Meeko tried to mimic at what Mrs. Jenkins did to Pocahontas and Lex while standing on top of a mirror.
Mrs. Jenkins placed golden heels on the girls, which were the best shoes she had for them. Madame Bonfamille decided to do their make-up. Mrs. Jenkins lost her glasses again and incidentally used Flit as a perfume bottle.
'What's wrong with this woman,' Flit thought.
Then Mrs. Jenkins and Madame Bonfamille did the girls' hair. Meeko, Flit and Percy flinched at all the possible hairstyles before the final one.
"Well, the styles were, uh...interesting," Meeko said.
"You're joking, right," Percy scoffed.
"The styles were awful," Flit said.
Then Rolfe decided to teach Pocahontas how to dance. Jesse and Lex joined in.
A little while later, it was about time to go to meet the King and Queen, Flit tried to get Pocahontas to wear her late mother's necklace since it was a reluctant part of her. But since it wasn't jewelry that any of the other people that would be there would like to see, Pocahontas decided to leave it behind. Rolfe grinned as he hooked up a golden necklace around Pocahontas's neck that had a jade at the end of it. Flit sighed as he kept Pocahontas's necklace.
Lex patted her purple clothes down, she would prefer black or blue, but at least it wasn't pink. "Oh, Pocahontas, that's a nice necklace."
Pocahontas nodded in agreement. "It's beautiful."
"Almost ready," Madame Bonfamille called as Mrs. Jenkins walked in to fetch Pocahontas, "we just need a few more finishing touches and we'll meet King James and his Queen."
'Wow, Jesse looks like a prince in these clothes he's wearing,' Patch thought as he saw his owner in the proper clothes.
Rolfe was dressed in golden and red clothes. "Well, I hope this works for everyone."
"I'm sure she will, Johnny...don't be so concerned....." Madame Bonfamille chuckled as she tried to get Junior down for a nap.
"Yes, I'm sure everything will be fine," Jesse said.
Rolfe noticed Uti once he got his hat on and walked over to the Indian bodyguard. "How are we? Pretty good, right," he chuckled sheepishly.
Uti glanced at them.
"Warn me, I thought you were getting dressed..." Rolfe tried to tease Uti.
Uti gestured to the blue paint on his cheekbones, showing that was his fashion of presenting himself for the King and Queen.
"I guess it's his fashion of showing that he's already dressed," Jesse said.
"Well...he's right, he looks good," Rolfe shrugged, "just don't speak too much tonight and we'll be fine."
Uti glanced at him, but looked behind them as Lex and Pocahontas were coming down. Pocahontas had a vanilla and golden dress with her hair up and she looked like a fully different person. Lex wore a glittering and poofy purple gown and had white gloves on with her hair straightened out and she had silver jewelry and not too much make-up to make her look evil or overbearing. Rolfe took off his hat and met the girls at the bottom of the stairs as they would walk down to meet the boys and go to the kingdom.
"Wow, you're both beautiful," Jesse said.
"I agree..." Rolfe gave a nod.
"Yes, I feel like a giant cupcake..." Lex mumbled.
Rolfe grinned to Pocahontas and noticed she seemed slightly pale.
"It's called face powder....." Pocahontas said, touching her face.
Rolfe grinned, but linked arms with Pocahontas to get them going.
"We're coming as well," Patch called with Meeko, Flit and Percy, but Mrs. Jenkins shut the door once Rolfe, Pocahontas, Lex and Jesse left.
"Aww," Patch whined.
"I'll have some tea," Mrs. Jenkins warned the animals.
Madame Bonfamille was carrying her infant son. "I hope the nanny understands that I have to stay with Junior later."
"I'm sure she will, darling," Mrs. Jenkins grinned to her best friend.
Patch, Percy, Meeko and Flit were all now at a table, very bored.
The horse carriage took the humans over to meet with the king and queen. They were almost there and this time, the travel wouldn't last for more than one day. Too bad this was before cars and automobiles were invented.
"This looks like Cinderella's new castle," Lex pointed out once they looked to the royal estate they were going to visit.
"Yes, you're right," Jesse said as soon as he saw the royal estate.
Pocahontas and Rolfe joined hands once they came out of the carriage.
"Are you ready," Rolfe asked Lex and Jesse.
"Ready as we'll ever be..." Lex said softly.
They all walked up the steps as names were announced to the King and Queen like a grand festival. They were all next now.
"John Rolfe with Princess Pocahontas with guests Jesse Greenwood and Lex Murphy," the tiny herald announced from a paper, making the crowd gasp, "and Utam...Uttata...Ultimatum....Old Tomato...."
"Try Uti," Rolfe suggested as they went down the steps.
"Oh, thank you, sir," the herald chuckled, "and Uti...jacket required, sir..."
"It won't be a problem for him," Jesse said.
The crowd couldn't help but stare at Pocahontas as Rolfe walked with her. Pocahontas was silently reciting greetings once they were coming to the royal couple and their dog in their thrones. Rolfe and Jesse bowed before the King and Queen while Lex curtsied. Pocahontas just stood there, she was frozen and unsure at what to do. The King looked impatient and unimpressed, but his wife seemed rather polite and happy.
"Welcome to England, Pocahontas, Lex and Jesse," Queen Anne greeted warmly.
"Thank you, your grace," Lex and Jesse thanked her while in their stance.
Pocahontas followed suit.
'Thank heavens the queen is nice,' Jesse thought.
"What do you think of my kingdom, huh," King James asked, feeling complete with himself.
"I think you're a great king who has so many subjects, your majesty and the loyalty of so many good men," Pocahontas responded with a sincere grin.
"Did you hear that," King James grinned down at his dog who seemed to be trying to sleep throughout this and to his lovely wife. "They think I'm a great king! Oh, what adorable children," he laughed, "charming! Absolutely charming!"
"Your Excellency," Lex said, "please stop this armada."
"Yes, please," Jesse added in.
"Yes, yes, that's it," King James nodded to them, "but right now, I can't be rude and ignore my guests, right? No, we'll discuss it later!"
Lex and Pocahontas sighed.
"For now, my darling," King James sat back down with a chuckle, "enjoy the prom."
The four bowed back to him, but went to mingle and possibly dance.
"Well, we'll be able to speak to him later," Jesse said.
Lex and Pocahontas felt very suffocated and claustrophic with the people coming over to crowd and see them. Luckily, Jesse and Rolfe took them out of the road. Uti looked to the fussing, but then he had a small grin.
"Let the dance begin," a man called, summoning the orchestra to play.
'This sounds like it's time to dance,' Jesse thought.
"I'm not dancing...." Lex said as she fanned herself with the fan she had.
Pocahontas did her best to follow these dance steps with the villagers native to this land. Even girls wanted to dance with Uti. Rolfe eventually came to dance with Pocahontas and then they did so.
"I'll teach you," Jesse said, offering his hand to her.
Lex sighed, she set her fan aside and took his hand to dance for a change. "Have your cousins under the sea ever danced," she asked, curiously.
"I think she did so, but I learned to dance from Rae," Jesse said before he began to teach her how to dance.
Lex got used to the dancing, despite saying she didn't do it, she seemed to be pretty good. "I took dance classes if I was younger..."
Ratcliffe made an appearance at the ball and smirked darkly. He was going to steal a dance with the girls wherever he would get the chance.
"I can warn," Jesse said as they continued to dance.
Lex frowned once she saw Ratcliffe with Pocahontas. "I hate this man so much......"
Pocahontas stopped dancing with Ratcliffe and walked off of him at a good time after he brought up John Smith being dead. It made her very mournful and frustrated now and Rolfe came in to try to make it all better.
"I'm so glad Ratcliffe's going to jail," Jesse said.
"What," Lex looked at him, a little confused.
Jesse reminded her about what just happened to Ratcliffe.
"I've not really seen this movie before..." Lex explained with a whisper.
A bell rang at the top of the stairs and the herald came in with an announcement. "Dinner is served."
"Oh, dear, not this scene," Jesse whispered.
"Do I want to know," Lex asked as she suddenly felt hungry.
"Let's just say we're about to have a show with some singing and bear baiting," Jesse said.
"Bear baiting," Lex wondered as the others left to report to the dining hall.
Jesse whispered at what bear baiting was and where it made Lex's eyes widen from shock.
"Not even I'm that disgusting," Lex exclaimed.
The herald took Pocahontas and Lex to sit next to each other on the right from King James as it was customary.
"Yours," Pocahontas said after they retired and sat down, "maybe now we might discuss..."
Fanfare was suddenly heard and the light shone on Ratcliffe as he had something to say.
"Your Royal Highnesses," Ratcliffe tried to look presentable and charming for the king and queen, "gentlemen and ladies of the court...and our distinguished guests from the ballroom from the forests of the New World..."
Pocahontas and Lex frowned at him before he left and they were going to be given dinner and show. Jesse knew exactly what was coming next and where he already didn't like it and knew that Pocahontas and Lex wouldn't like it either. There were creepy jesters in black-and-white as they had a disturbing song for the crowd.
'Oh, dear, these two,' Jesse thought.
The others clapped for joy, but Pocahontas and Lex looked confused and a little bewildered by the performance. Jesse continued to look worried he knew at who these two worked for. There were very strange magic tricks. Lex looked very disturbed, she knew this was a magic show, but it looked just freaky to her than it should have. These clowns or jesters or whatever they are were very odd and sort of nonsensical.
'These two may be evil, but at the same time they are performing their unusual song,' Jesse thought.
Ratcliffe even joined in and he was trying to deceive the King and Queen into not trusting Lex and Pocahontas.
'I knew it,' Jesse thought.
A bear was shown in chains and it deeply upset Pocahontas no doubt, especially as the crowd was laughing like it was the most funniest fact they had ever seen until Pocahontas and Lex decided they had enough of this.
"Stop this," Pocahontas demanded, but went to soothe the poor bear, "this is torture!"
"This is an animal," King James laughed like the bear didn't have any feelings, "nothing more."
"It's yet a hopeless animal that deserves better treatment," Lex replied.
"Sit down at once and we will overlook this wild behavior," King James demanded, now frustrated with the girls.
"Oh, please, you call this a wild behavior, you people who behave like savages who treat the poor animal so badly," Jesse retorted.
"He's right," Pocahontas snapped, "you and your people are the barbarians!"
"WHAT," King James growled at them.
"Sire, don't let these savages get away with it, they also hurt the poor boy," Ratcilffe whispered to the King.
"I heard this, you liar," Jesse exclaimed.
"SEIZE THEM," King James commanded.
A bunch of soldiers came to collect Lex, Pocahontas and Jesse. Uti came to the soldiers and made them all fly, growling at them for trying to harm the girls.
"Savages," Ratcliffe sneered.
The crowd seemed to now turn on and dislike the three of them as they tried to get away from the confusion.
"Take them to the tower," King James growled.
"That's it, no time to hold back," Jesse said before rolling up his sleeves, warning Lex one fact.
"No, Your Majesty, please, it was a misunderstanding," Rolfe tried to warn James, but the soldiers blocked him.
"Don't push me anymore or face treason," King James threatened before going away.
"Where exactly is your loyalty lying," Ratcliffe taunted.
The soldiers caught Lex and Pocahontas to take them away while they had Jesse and Uti down on the floor with swords in between their neck space.
'I can't believe this, c'mon, Jesse, you can take these guys, you have Hercules's strength,' Jesse thought as he began to get up.
"Let go of us," Lex cried out in grief.
"John Rolfe," Pocahontas cried as they were being taken away, who growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "JOHN ROLFE!!"
This yell was so loud that it echoed across Pig and Whistle Pub. Ratcliffe smirked darkly that the girls were being exposed of. Jesse began to look like he was too much for the guards. The guards kept trying to hold them down as Pocahontas and Lex were being taken away. This would be spread through the news by tonight and tomorrow. Jesse was able to escape with John Rolfe and getting away past the carriage.
"This is very stressful......poor girls..." Rolfe sighed as the girls were taken away like they were wild animals.
"We'll save them, but first we have to come up with a plan," Jesse said.
"What kind of plan," Rolfe asked.
"I'll warn you as soon as we get to your house," Jesse said.
Rolfe nodded.
Mrs. Jenkins was gently cleaning up around, luckily not breaking anything this time, possibly because the animals caught every piece of china before it could fall and smash.
"Yes, this lady seriously needs new glasses," Patch said.
"Mrs. Jenkins, I'm back," Rolfe called gently.
"Ah, there you are, Johnny," Mrs. Jenkins grinned, but she indeed noticed something missing, "where are the girls?"
"They've been sent to prison," Jesse said.
"What," Mrs. Jenkins sounded disheartened.
Flit, Meeko, Patch and Percy were shocked and appalled.
"But don't worry, I have a plan," Jesse said.
"I'm going to make some tea," Mrs. Jenkins went away.
Rolfe sighed, he was very concerned about the girls, especially Pocahontas. He really grew attached to her. Then a shadowy figure jumped off the wall in the backyard.
"He's eventually here," Jesse said, looking at the time and knowing that a certain someone would arrive.
"Who's there," Rolfe asked, a little in warning.
The dark, cloaked figure came up to them mysteriously, but didn't hurt them.
"Just in time, John Smith," Jesse said.
"Yes...come with me..." John Smith replied, trying not to seem surprised that Jesse knew who he was, "get your boat, we're going for a ride."
"I'm sorry," Rolfe looked a little gobsmacked.
"Get your boat..." John repeated sharply, hearing the frustrated Indian princess shout his name.
The next fact they knew, they were in a boat, heading to the prison that Pocahontas and Lex were taken to. Jesse began to warn them his plan at how to rescue the girls.
"I just hope this works," Rolfe sighed as he rowed the boat, going under the open door and they could get into the foggy atmosphere.
"Well, we're going to find out," Jesse whispered.
"HALT," a soldier called, "who goes there?"
"John Smith and Jesse Greenwood," the man introduced himself, standing on the boat, but not in a fashion to tip it over. "We have a prisoner," he slit his throat with his finger, implying that this prisoner deserved a death sentence.
A soldier chuckled evilly. "Open the gate!"
'Perfect,' Jesse thought, 'the plan is working so far.'
The gate was opened, allowing them to pass.
"Part one of the plan is finished," Jesse whispered.
Rolfe nodded, but went to stop the boat and try to make it seem like he disliked John Smith where he wouldn't seem suspicious of their possible new friendship. He and Jesse at least helped him out to put him in jail. The soldier glanced at John Smith, but then John Smith put his old-time handcuffs on him and gave him a blow to the face, making the soldier fall into the water.
"Great," Jesse said.
"He's escaping, catch him," Rolfe commanded.
The soldiers went to go after John Smith.
Rolfe smirked once he saw the cell door keys and swiped them and ran with the boy and hummingbird escort. "Find her now, boys."
"Wait for us, boys," Percy barked.
"Ooh..." Meeko felt a memory come up as he saw one of the soldiers drop his helmet.
"MEEKO," Percy growled at him.
Meeko smirked and put the helmet on the dog. "A perfect fit!"
"Meeko, this is no time to mess around," Patch barked.
"I'm sorry..." Meeko chuckled, going up the stairs with him.
Percy actually liked how the helmet before it hit down on him and trapped him. Rolfe kept running up with Flit and Jesse to find the girls and save them.
"Their prison cell should be close by now," Jesse said.
Four soldiers walked down the halls, but Rolfe leaned against the wall with the animals and Jesse to avoid being seen. Once they left, they kept running. Flit came to a prison door and looked inside of the barred window to see who they were looking for. He kept searching for the right door, so far, no girls, but soon, he would find them.
"I found them," Flit called out, "we're in the basement!"
Uti glanced at the hummingbird while Lex and Pocahontas sulked until they saw him.
"Flit!"
Then Rolfe and Jesse unlocked the door to free the girls.
"John," Pocahontas was very happy to see him and rushed to him.
"We're here to save you, girls and Uti," Jesse said.
"I knew you're coming," Pocahontas grinned.
Rolfe seemed to lovingly grin back as he held the Indian woman.
"Why did it take so long," Lex joked slightly.
"I'm very sorry, but the boss had to come and rescue us as well," Jesse said.
"There's no time, we have to go," Rolfe stated urgently.
"Headman," Pocahontas and Lex understood what he meant by that.
The cloaked figure stood past the door and removed his hood to reveal himself to the girls.
Pocahontas gasped in shock. "John Smith," she walked up to him to see if it was really him and in fact, it was.
"We thought you were dead," Lex said to the man.
"Very exaggerated," John Smith joked.
Then soldiers were heard and they sounded like they had swords.
"Sounds like we've had company," Jesse said.
"Let's go," John Smith whispered louder where they wouldn't get in danger for breaking the girls out of prison.
The soldiers came down the hall as Jesse made a cloth into many knots for them to climb down out of the prison and to swiftly get downstairs before they could get caught.
'This should be much easier than going through the door,' Jesse thought.
"What if the animals use the rope as a distraction and we're out the door," Lex suggested as Meeko already started to climb down.
"Excellent," Jesse said.
They all swiftly went through with their plan. Hopefully, they wouldn't get caught. As soon as they were all out, Smith taunted the soldiers and locked them in Lex and Pocahontas's old prison cell.
Rolfe kept a sword out as they came to the stairs and as he anticipated, there were soldiers coming after them. "I'll take care of this," he warned the others, allowing them to go ahead without them and he fought the soldiers.
"How come he's having so much fun," Jesse asked.
"You don't have a sword," Lex pointed out to him.
Smith looked down and saw a loose board, he was able to get it out and he gave it to Jesse to possibly use against the soldiers.
"This'll work," Jesse said.
Rolfe kept trying to ward off the soldiers, but as Jesse came with the board, they all fell down into a barrel of hay.
"Oh, very stylish," Rolfe chuckled at the display.
Uti jumped down past soldiers on horses and he held their heads as they tried to run for him and he wasn't fully emotionless about this. He even rammed their heads together, making them fall to the ground instantly, allowing everyone to pass through without any damage.
Pocahontas and the two Johns got on the horses, with Patch, Percy, Meeko and Flit. Lex sat behind Pocahontas before they would ride into their escape. Jesse and Uti followed them not riding on the horses, plus this was another fashion of exercise.
"Driving or running," Rolfe asked jokingly, but he couldn't have the time or humor to do it now.
The soldiers were heard yelling before they could get make their getaway. The gate was about to close before they could escape, but Percy was clanging and bouncing around with the helmet and hit the guard on the head and opened the gate right back up again where they could get out of here. Uti and Jesse could make the bridge before it would fall and get destroyed in the process.
"Yes, we made it," Jesse said.
Percy in the helmet hit Uti's head, but it didn't even knock him out as he kept running with Jesse. They were all now getting settled and Patch taught Percy and Meeko a fashion to cover their tracks. It made him remember at where he had to go with his parents, brothers and sisters to escape Cruella, Horace and Jasper, except this time, there wasn't any snow.
"Good trick, Patch," Meeko said.
In a house, Pocahontas and Lex had questions for John Smith.
"John Smith, if you didn't die, then what just happened to you," Lex asked.
"Ratcliffe convinced the king I was the traitor," Smith replied, almost sneering at the mention of the fat idiot, "I had to hide for shelter, making them believe I was dead."
Pocahontas hugged the first white man she met, feeling more attached to him. "I've missed you very much......"
"I thought of you every day..." Smith whispered in return.
"Looks like they're really happy to see each other again," Patch said.
Pocahontas was indeed happy to see him again, but she seemed to had moved ahead due to him being gone for so long. Rolfe was playing with a leaf rake.
"I wish we'd had time to change..." Lex groaned, feeling very hot and foolish in her dress.
"I agree," Jesse said.
Pocahontas and the Johns were now discussing about the Powhatan tribe and how they needed to help them.
"Are they going to go back and confront the king or run off," Patch asked.
Pocahontas felt torn about what might and would happen from whatever path she would chose, where she ran away, passing Uti. Uti had a little worry for Pocahontas, but stayed silent, folding his arms.
"Pocahontas," Rolfe ran after the woman.
Patch ran away after her to find out at which path she was going to choose.
"Son, come back here," Percy called.
"Let him follow her," Jesse said.
Rolfe came to the end of the forest and looked around, unable to find Pocahontas in the fog. There were many trees and the woman almost seemed invisible. Smith rushed over to help, but Rolfe restrained him.
"Let her go," Rolfe warned Smith.
"He's right, she has to do this alone, if she comes back, we'll know what her reaction is," Jesse said.
Smith glanced at the two. "If you don't care about her safety..."
"Don't you dare warn me that I don't care about her," Rolfe snapped at him.
Smith blinked at him, but he had a knowing and teasing smirk. "You love her..."
Rolfe glanced back, a little taken aback by that.
"She has to choose whether to confront the king or not," Jesse said.
Lex caught up to the guys. "Where'd Pocahontas go?"
"Out there, but she must be alone now," Rolfe replied.
"Yes..." Smith agreed with him for a change.
Patch continued to follow Pocahontas to see which path she was going to choose. Pocahontas kept running, she even slid her shoes off as she tried to contemplate what to do next in her life. She looked around as the wind from her tribe blew around her until she heard the voice of her dear friend Nakoma. She was warned not to forget the land. Pocahontas grinned, but she chose one path and decided to go down that one. Patch grinned, knowing what path she chose, but yet followed her, but then he could be sure. Pocahontas carried her skirt as she went along and saw a willow tree.
It reminded her so much of home and she wanted to see her Grandmother Willow so much right then. Then she sighed as she felt homesick and a little torn about the paths, even if she agreed to her true home and this place was not home to her and her heart was not set there. Like the old saying goes; home is where the heart is.
"You miss your house, don't you," Patch asked, even if Pocahontas couldn't understand him.
Pocahontas looked down to the puppy. "Patch, what are you doing here?"
Patch began to paw at her necklace and looking like he was trying to take it off her neck. Pocahontas looked at her reflection in the water. She looked very different and wasn't herself. Then she decided to take the powder and make-up off. The wind blew as she was slowly becoming her natural self. Patch was very happy that Pocahontas decided to become her natural self.
Pocahontas hugged Patch as she was very deep in thought. "Listen to the spirit within..." she whispered to herself.
The fog slightly cleared and it almost looked as though Pocahontas's true self was in the water's reflection. The only fact clear was that she had nothing to lose or fear as the past was gone. Then she stood up and removed the braids holding her hair back and let her ebony hair run wild within the wind.
"C'mon, let's go warn the others about your reaction," Patch said.
Flit flew over with a grin, making Pocahontas very happy to see him.
"There you are," Meeko trilled as he rushed with Percy.
Pocahontas grinned and hugged all of the animals.
"Guys, she's decided what she's going to do," Patch said.
"Then what she's going to do, girl," Percy asked Patch.
"I think she's going to confront the king," Patch said.
Percy nodded firmly. "Then let's take her to these human men."
"I agree," Meeko chirped.
Flit flew between the dogs and raccoon. "She's ready, you boys!"
"Great," Patch cheered.
Rolfe, Smith, Lex, Jesse and Uti waited for Pocahontas to return with her response. Even Uti seemed to grin once the Indian woman came back.
"I'm going back," Pocahontas warned her human friend bravely.
"They'll hang you," Smith reminded her, being familiar with the situation.
"But they'll be the first to fall," Pocahontas didn't seem to be at all afraid of the consequences, she was just willing to face them.
"They won't listen to us, Pocahontas," Lex added, "I may not be an Indian like you, but look at us....you know what Ratcliffe said you were a savage, because you were different from them and you couldn't be trusted."
"Lex's right, Pocahontas," Smith agreed.
"How can they respect my culture if they haven't seen it," Pocahontas asked.
"This is insane, this is nuts, guys, warn her she's crazy," Smith looked to the others with Pocahontas's determination and endurance.
"She's not crazy, she's right," Jesse said.
"No, John Smith is right," Rolfe said, walking to the women, feeling in love with her. "You're crazy," he said to her.
Pocahontas grinned to him, despite being called crazy. Smith face-palmed. This just wasn't his day.
"Even if she's crazy, we should confront the king and warn him about the truth," Jesse said.
"Yes..." Rolfe took out Pocahontas's old necklace, knowing the woman had emotional attachment to it. "I thought you might need the power this holds for you," he laced it back around her neck comfortably, "I think it's time you and your friends taught society a lesson."
Pocahontas gave a nod. "I have decided."
"Then let's go and make ourselves comfortable," Lex declared as dawn approached.
"Yes," Jesse said.
As the sun was starting to rise, everything got changed.
Pocahontas got with Lex, hiding in a tree with their natural clothes as the guards passed. It was time to have a word with King James and Queen Anne. As soon as the guards left, they carefully climbed the stone walls.
"Listen to you," the herald called from inside the castle, "King James's High Court begins here!"
But before business could get started, the doors opened, showing the girls and the people gasped at the sight of them, though not dressed very formerly to be welcomed into royalty.
"Lex and Pocahontas," King James called, standing from his throne, "guards! Guards!"
"I won't waste your breath, Your Highness," Jesse said.
Rolfe and Uti came in, holding the guards in his arms like they were weak as mortal children.
"Surely his dignity wouldn't have rejected the audience with the visiting princess," Lex slightly taunted.
"James..." Queen Anne gently called to her husband.
King James moaned, but he sat down sternly.
"I don't think he's going to take it," Jesse smirked.
"Your Grace, if you exist on war, my people will fight to the last warrior," Pocahontas said as she walked down the aisle with Lex, "for all of us, we have nothing to gain, but we have a lot to lose."
"There is no money, is it there," Queen Anne asked, though she didn't sound as greedy or power hungry as her husband thankfully.
King James wasn't sure what to say. "Ratcliffe guaranteed me......"
"I died," John Smith's voice was heard, shocking the crowd, "is this true?"
Everyone, but Jesse, Lex, Pocahontas, Rolfe and Uti were surprised to see John Smith alive.
"Ratcliffe has lied to you about everything," Smith continued, yet shocking the crowd.
King James looked to his people, kind of unsure what to do, but looked frustrated and annoyed.
"There are a lot of voices around you," Lex said to him, "but you have to listen to your voice."
"Why do you two speak out if many are suspicious of you, even if that may mean your life," King James looked to the two girls.
Everyone looked to Pocahontas and Lex to find out their response.
"Because we warn the truth," the girls eventually said together.
The crowd seemed to get louder with their sheep.
"SILENCE," King James commanded, "Ratcliffe is gone, we have to stop him!"
"But it's too late," Queen Anne reminded her husband.
"We have to try," Pocahontas said boldly.
Jesse knew that this was going to end well, but not for Ratcliffe.
It was getting dark outside, due to the incoming rain. There were ships about in the harbor. Ratcliffe was commanding sailors on a boat to go out into the world and rid it of the savages he spoke highly of it.
"The riders are approaching," a man called, seeing from his telescope.
Ratcliffe shoved the man over and looked through it to see Pocahontas and the two Johns on horseback. "Smith," he called in surprise of his former best man, "raise the anchor! Throw it away!"
A sailor did so as warned.
"He's trying to escape," Jesse said as he was running past Pocahontas's side.
Ratcliffe pushed the walking stick into the water as the boat was slowly drifting away into the water to make their escaping getaway.
"I don't think so," Smith called as he made his horse jump onto the boat, making the sailors look surprised and afraid.
"I thought he was dead," one man called.
"I am the ghost of John Smith," the man taunted as he pulled out a sword, making his horse rear up as lightning flashed, "run for your lives!"
The soldiers yelled, actually believing he was a ghost and jumped into the water to abandon ship. Jesse jumped and was able to make it to the ship, without falling off. Pocahontas caught hold of a rope and swung herself onto the boat. She dodged a sword strike as she climbed up further.
"Everyone, wait," Meeko came to the edge of the dock.
Percy came as well, but he went too far and was about to fall into the water. Meeko caught the dog's tail, keeping him from drowning.
"We should stay here, and neither of us will drown," Patch said.
Uti picked them up as it started to rain and he jumped in with them.
"Why don't you go as well," Patch asked Lex.
"I don't know how to swim," Lex said, looking down at him.
"Oh, I didn't know this," Patch said.
Rolfe saw they might need some help, where he jumped into the water himself. Jesse was ready to fight any of Ratcliffe's men, even Ratcliffe himself. Rolfe clung to the anchor as it rose up and the rain was starting to get heavier with some drops. Jesse faced two of Ratcliffe's men and where they were going to be surprised by how strong he was.
"Who started the festival without me," Rolfe asked after Smith tossed him a sword to fight against sailors.
"You call this a festival," Smith scoffed at him.
"Isn't it interesting?"
A loud thunderclap came as Flit came up with Meeko, Percy and Patch on top of Uti's head like it was no big deal or problem for him to carry them on his head. Then the animals ambushed the lions and went to help the humans face against the sailors.
"You two want to get intertwined with me," Jesse asked with a smirk as it looked like they had cornered him.
The sailors came with their swords, ready to slice them. Meeko saw a filled up mop bucket and pushed it over, making slippery water come to the three sailors, but they slipped and fell instantly. A sailor tried to cut down Flit, but the hummingbird kept flying over and over and the man fell overboard into the water.
The two sailor men that were facing Jesse, swung their swords at him, but they just broke and he sent them both flying into the ocean with an uppercut on both of them. Uti picked up a couple of sailors by their ankles before dropping them into the water, totally emotionless.
A sailor was trying to get Pocahontas, but she kept avoiding him. She made the British flag fall as she swung down, but hit the deck literally. The sailor laughed and was about to strike her, but Rolfe clashed his sword against him, making them both never harm Pocahontas.
"Drop the anchor," Rolfe called to her.
Pocahontas went to do so just that as the men kept fighting.
"This is the most fun I've ever experienced," Jesse said.
Pocahontas made the anchor drop and it looked like the ships were going to smash together in the thunderstorm.
"Now, where's Ratcliffe," Jesse asked.
The lightning flashed rapidly behind the British flag as Pocahontas kept a sharp eye out. The flag tore open as Ratcliffe snarled behind it and he tore it enough to destroy it and Pocahontas looked up with fear as she was on the floor and it looked like this man was going to murder her.
"Now I can eventually get rid of you, you are a savage," Ratcliffe snarled as he lowered his blade before striking her down.
"Pocahontas, watch out," Jesse called out.
Ratcliffe was close to striking her down.
Smith caught his cape however and had a sword in hand. "Can I interrupt you?"
Ratcliffe frowned at him and the two now had their own sword fight.
"Go, John Smith," Jesse cheered.
It looked bad for a moment until Ratcliffe hit his blade down, but yet missed Smith. Then Smith got up and fought right back with no problems.
"Wahoo! Yes, go, John Smith," Jesse continued to cheer.
John Smith and Ratcliffe kept fighting, they wouldn't stop until one of them would fall in defeat. Everyone just had to hope that it would be John Smith to come out on top. Smith gave Ratcliffe a blow to the stomach and took his sword away from him, threatening to cut him into pieces.
"Please don't hurt me, Smith," Ratcliffe moaned slightly as he got on the floor, begging and pleading, "I was just fulfilling my duty. Certainly, you know that good soldiers always obey orders..."
John Smith gave him a look, but gave up the extra sword.
"No, no! He's trying to trick you," Jesse called out to Smith.
John Smith was sure Jesse was right as Ratcliffe broke his own vow and unleashed a pistol to the good man.
"As I said, I didn't like you, Smith," Ratcliffe snarled after making a promise to actually murder the man, "I will sentence you to death right here! Farewell, Smith!"
John Smith instantly ducked down as a band came in the road, dragging Ratcliffe out of the road. Lex and John Rolfe jumped down together to show they had caused the impact.
"It's very stylish," Smith smirked.
"I learned it from the best," Rolfe chuckled as he walked over to the other John.
"I think you look good like this..." Lex said to Ratcliffe as he was dangling above the drowning water.
"I agree, it suits you very well," Jesse said to Ratcliffe as well, "and I'm very happy that the King has met you."
"I'm sorry," Smith shook his head, "I so wanted to see you hanged."
Ratcliffe kept shrieking as his cape couldn't hold up for his fat body for much longer.
"We should beat him," Lex said.
"Before you, Lex," John Smith said as he struck his sword against the rope, making Ratcliffe fall into the water.
"Oh, if Ratcliffe returns to England, he'll be surprised," Jesse said.
"Oh, I wish I could see his face if he gets arrested," Patch added.
"Way to go, buddy," Meeko cheered as he danced with a reluctant Percy.
"Yes...yes...good show..." Percy rolled his eyes slightly.
Ratcliffe tried to get himself up to safety, but climbed up the steps of dry land, only to see the King with several guards to arrest him.
"A new home needs a new name," Rolfe warned Pocahontas, "what should I call?"
"Umm...how about Ling," Lex suggested, staying close to history.
Pocahontas was upset by the forced name change, but she actually liked the sound of that. "I love it."
"That's great," Jesse said.
"She seems to be used to the exterior world," Patch added.
"Homesickness is a serious business..." Lex nodded, she could understand and relate to the situation.
King James sneered at Ratcliffe once he crawled up to safety.
"His Majesty, the fugitives are running away," Ratcliffe cried out in despair, "they disturbed the armada! Stop them!"
However, King James put handcuffs on him, now seeing that he was wrong to trust this man. "No more lies..." he snarled, "arrest him!"
The guards went to take Ratcliffe off and put him back in jail, who growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "STEELE!!"
This yell was so loud that it echoed across the dungeon. Lex had a tissue past her eyes, falsely mournful. "And he has been highly recommended..." she quoted Wiggins from the first movie, unable to exist saying that.
"Farewell, Ratcliffe, have a good time in jail," Jesse and Patch called out, hearing the frustrated governor shout his name.
Later in the kingdom, the crowd cheered for everybody. The people were praising John Smith, Lex, Jesse and even Patch. Many women were fawning over John Smith as they wanted to speak with him for his journey and by the rumors of his death. Pocahontas watched this, she hoped that John Smith would understand that she was now in love with John Rolfe.
"Should we get John Smith and Pocahontas back together," Patch asked.
"I don't think so," Lex said softly to the Dalmatian puppy, "historically, Pocahontas and John Rolfe were together, and they had a son named Thomas...we'd better not interfere with the legend."
"I agree it's the best," Jesse said.
"Damn..." Patch understood, but was disappointed a little.
John Rolfe came out to look at the view, making Pocahontas grin to him instantly. She decided to speak with him.
"How do you guys feel about being knighted," Lex asked Jesse and Patch since the King and Queen decided to reward them while Lex had already been knighted by Queen Mousetoria after she met The Great Mouse Detective with her other friend.
"We'd love to be knighted," Jesse and Patch cheered.
"The Queen thinks that's fine..." Lex shrugged to them with a grin.
"What does it mean to be knighted," Patch asked.
"Oh, well, that means having to be a night," Jesse explained as best he could.
"Sorta..." Lex said, "only you'll give a title like Lord, Lady or even Notre Dame......Queen Mousetoria called me and my friend Beckett."
Patch tried to think at who Beckett was, he and Jesse hadn't met her yet. "Isn't she the one who married Willy Wonka?"
"That's her," Lex said with a grin, "there are triplets on the road. I was the footman bridesmaid at their wedding."
After this, the King and Queen had Jesse and Patch bow respectively before them as the royal members had their scepters.
"I voice you, Sir Jesse and Lord Patch......" Queen Anne proclaimed, not even bothered with the fact that she was knighting a puppy, "thank you so much for both your help."
"You're welcome, Your Highness," Jesse said.
"I'm sorry to judge so faster..." King James said gently.
The crowd cheered for Jesse and Patch as they came back out and they were now technically royalty. Flit and Meeko were trying to get Pocahontas and John Rolfe together, but John Smith suddenly came over to them with news.
"Looks like Smith came to them with news," Patch said.
Smith spoke up about how King James gave him a boat as a reward and that he could now travel the world with Pocahontas like the two had always wanted. The animals sighed as they watched Rolfe go away, feeling that Pocahontas could never love him since he had fallen in love with her.
"We used to walk the same land..." Pocahontas looked to John Smith, deciding to be honest with him, "I found my place."
Smith took her hands, understanding and respecting her decision. "I hope you can find happiness as well."
"May the great soul be with you forever..." Pocahontas said gently to him.
Smith kissed her knuckles before walking away on his own.
"Wow, he's understandable," Patch said.
Pocahontas's animal friends went to her, allowing to make her own choice at what she wanted to have happen in her life now.
A horse-drawn carriage came for them to take Pocahontas back to her home.
Madame Bonfamille walked to Lex, Jesse and Patch. "You three seem lost...."
"It's just...we're not from here....how are we going to get home," Lex asked.
"I know it all, my darling..." Madame Bonfamille gave a pleasant grin, but she took out some glittering and majestic purple dust, "are you ready to go now or wait until Pocahontas takes her home?"
"We wanted to say a farewell first," Jesse said.
"I see, my darling..." Madame Bonfamille allowed them to go.
Lex and Jesse went to go with Patch to say a farewell to Pocahontas one last time.
Madame Bonfamille caught Lex's arm and whispered to her. "Take care of my girl.....I know you make him happy..."
Lex was shocked about what the woman she would never meet in her lifetime said and she replied with a wink to her. Pocahontas was on her road on deck as Meeko already got sick to his stomach and she looked to everyone before coming aboard. Mrs. Jenkins got lost in the crowd, trying to look for the Indian woman, she wanted to say a farewell as well.
"Pocahontas! Pocahontas," Jesse called out.
Pocahontas looked around as she got in the crowd, but saw them coming, and Mrs. Jenkins was even there at the same time. "Aren't you guys coming with me?"
"I'm sorry, Pocahontas, but we belong in our own home..." Lex explained, "however, I wish you a safe journey..."
Pocahontas sniffled slightly and hugged them all, even Patch. "I'll never forget you......" she whispered.
"We'll never forget you either," Jesse and Patch said.
Mrs. Jenkins came to a horse's back end, mistaking the tail to be Pocahontas's luxurious raven hair, but then Pocahontas turned her around and went to hug the woman a farewell. Mrs. Jenkins felt like the missing mother Pocahontas never really had. The two shared a hug. They both became instantly mournful in the hug.
"Mrs. Jenkins, thank you for everything you've done..." Pocahontas said gently, feeling emotional herself, "is John Rolfe there?"
"I haven't seen him, darling, I thought he was with you," Mrs. Jenkins shrugged.
"Oh, don't worry, Mrs. Jenkins, he's someplace around here," Jesse said.
"Perhaps he hates farewells as much as I do so," Mrs. Jenkins shrugged, but yet held Pocahontas. "Farewell, darling..." she said delicately before letting Pocahontas go back to where she truly belonged.
Then Patch walked up to the boat to say his farewells to his three friends. "Percy, Meeko, Flit," he said to get their attention.
The three animals came to Patch.
"You're leaving as well," Meeko asked.
Patch nodded slowly. "I have to stay with Jesse..."
"Of course," Percy nodded, understanding, "you're a good boy, Patch..."
"Be careful then," Flit squeaked to him.
"I'll join Meeko and wish you good luck with the ferry ride while you're seasick," Patch said to the seasick raccoon before going to Jesse.
"Oh, don't remind me...." Meeko moaned, he was going to risk it though as he instantly turned green.
The animals warned him a farewell as he went away. Pocahontas went to get on the boat as it was ready to take off with her and her animal friends. Uti was staying behind and warned Pocahontas a farewell before she left to make some tea with Mrs. Jenkins.
"You coming, Annie," Mrs. Jenkins asked her friend.
"Wait a moment," Madame Bonfamille warned her before going to Lex, Jesse and Patch, "are you all ready now?"
"We're ready," they warned her.
"Alright...now...close your eyes..." Madame Bonfamille warned them gently.
They all did so as warned. Madame Bonfamille waved her hand in front of their closed eyes, but took a deep breath and blew the magic powder all over them, making them vanish in thin air, but no one would see it or notice it, except for her.
Then all three of them reappeared in the living room.
"W-We're back," Patch said after he opened his eyes.
Lex rubbed her eyes as she saw the movie was going to end credits. "Um...I didn't expect....."
Patch stretched and yawned. "I think we'd better go to sleep, right?"
Lex saw what time it was. "Yes, we'd better go....you guys go to my brother's old room and I'll get the DVD," she warned them.
Then the boys went to Lex's older brother's room, which was now a guest room since her brother moved out of the house. Lex burst the disc out and put it back in the DVD case, but went to get some sleep. This was truly one adventure that no one would ever forget.
