Fender Accidentally Squishes A Bug/Crossing the Gorge

*(During the rest of that day, Sofia's group are walking down the Yellow Brick Road, and there was no other adventure to mar the peace of their journey. Suddenly, everyone paused as they notice that Fender, who was ahead of them, had stopped in concern and he was trembling nervously as if he has stepped on a rock or something.)*

Sofia: What happened, Fender? Why did you stop?

Hugo: Is there something wrong with you?

Fender: (looking uneasy and concern) I think I just stepped on something...squishy.

Rodney: Well, left up your foot and let us have a look.

*(When Fender lefts his foot up, it was revealed to be what look like squished insect, much to their concern and Fender's sadness and guilt. It appears that the robot had accidentally crushes an insect that was crawling about on the wood.)*

Rabbit: (kneeling down to look at it) I think you just stepped on the insect.

*(Fender, however, looked grief-stricken and very unhappy, for he was always careful not to hurt any living creature, even by accident.)*

Fender: Oh, that's terrible! I didn't see it, (crying as several tears of sorrow and regret runs down his cheeks) the poor little thing!

Louis: Oh, I'm not really sure that is an insect, there are lot of things ya'll find on the road, ya'll know.

Rondey: Fender is very sensitive.

Fender: (sorrowfully) No, it's just that I don't have a heart so I can't feel love or tenderness or any kind of emotion and therefore I have to be extra careful of what I do cause (more tears runs down his cheeks) I feel just terrible--bl--!!!

*(He started struggling to talk but couldn't due that it was stuck. You see, these tears ran slowly down his face and over the hinges of his jaw, and there they rusted his mouth shut.)*

Sofia: (concern) What's a matter? Are you alright?

*(Fender could not open his mouth, for his jaws were tightly rusted together. He became greatly frightened at this and made many motions to Sofia to relieve him, but she could not understand. The gang also puzzled to know what was wrong.)*

Gabu: What's wrong with him?

Amber: No idea.

James: Same here.

Mei: You got me.

Clover: Yeah.

Pooh: Hmm. Think-think-think....(realizes) Oh, I think I know. (stands up) His tears must have run into the hinges of his mouth and caused them to rust shut.

Tiana: (impressed) Wow, for a bear with very little brain, ya'll sure know how to solve problems.

Pooh: (chuckles) Why, thank you, Tiana.

Hugo: Is this true, Fender?

*(Fender, still unable to speak, make some more muffled groaning sound as if to say that it is true. Sofia now finally understands.)*

Sofia: (pulling out an oil can from her basket) Well then, you need some oil.

*(Fender nodded, still groaning. That is exactly what he need. After Sofia oiled Fender's mouth, reopening it, Sofia's group then arrived at a chasm with a raging river below and on the other side is Shere Khan's forest)*

Eeyore: How can we cross this?

Rabbit: Don't know. Even I'm stumped.

Tigger: Even with my biggest bounce, I can't bounce across a chasm this wide.

Sora: And there aren't any trees to cut down and make a bridge for us.

*(Then looking at Namine's broomstick and Gabu, Sofia's group realized)*

Mei: Gabu, it's time to get out of your comfort zone, because you are gonna have to carry some of us across.

Gabu: (Confused) Me?

Mei: Yep.

Itchy: If you want to get to Emerald City with us and get courage from the Wizard, then you gotta boost your confidence up and jump some of us across.

Namine: As for me, I can just fly across with my broomstick and hair.

(Realizing they're right, Gabu got determined)

Gabu: Okay. I can do this.

*(Then later, everyone, except Namine, Riku, Rainbow, and Lollie, are on Gabu's back and in Gabu's arms, getting ready to leap across)*

Gabu: Everybody ready?

Sofia's group, except Namine, Riku, Rainbow, and Lollie: Yep!

*(Then, gathering some courage, Gabu then charged to the chasm and then with one powerful leap, made it to the other side with Sofia's group, except Namine, Riku, Rainbow, and Lollie, much to everyone's amazement and then happiness. Then Gabu puts everyone down happily)*

Tigger: Whoo-hoo-hoo! We made it!

Gabu: (Amazed with himself) I guess I did it.

Mei: I knew you had the guts.

Gabu: Thanks.

*(Then after Namine prepared her broomstick, she then let Riku, Rainbow, and Lollie seat with her)*

Namine: Ready?

Riku, Rainbow, and Lollie: (Nods) Yes.

*(Then Namine concentrated, and then she gracefully flew across to the other side where Sofia's group awaited her, Riku, Rainbow, and Lollie. Once across, Namine, Riku, Rainbow, and Lollie climbed off the broomstick, feeling satisfied)*

Sofia: Not a bad flight.

Namine: (To Sofia) Thanks. *(Looks at Charlie's group with a soft smile)* I learned from the best besides you guys.

*(Charlie's group smiled proudly. Then they continued on)*

***Coming up: Sofia's group end up lost thanks to Rabbit's insistence that he knows where he's going. Then after they meet a certain Cajun accented firefly, they soon let their new friend lead them in the right direction.***
