Meeting Pepe's Group and Oogie Boogie/Reviving Daffy from Hypothermia

*(After walking through the tunnels following Sally’s group, the remaining Team Fantasy members silently continued walking while looking around at the amazing underground scenery until they reached a huge house made of a huge mushroom. They go up to the front door and Sally knocked on it)*

Male eccentric voice: (Voice-over) Who is it?

Sally: Just Sally Skellington and her residents.

Male eccentric voice: (Voice-over) Ah. Come on in.

*(They go inside and entered a huge foyer room. Inside the room are a male skunk, a female cat, and a male monster. The male skunk has black and white fur with a French accent. He is Pepe LePew, the owner of the house and Sally’s group’s neighbor. The female cat has black and white fur with a white stripe on her backside. She is Penelope Pussycat, Pepe's maid. And the male monster with them is a gray-green Boogie Man, resembling a large, sentient burlap sack with thousands of bugs, two spiders, and a snake. He is Oogie Boogie, a mysterious neighbor who lives underground with Sally and Pepe’s groups and the one who spoke before everyone outside came in. Upon seeing them, Pepe’s group got happy to see Sally’s group)*

Oogie: Ah, Sally’s group. Good to see you again.

Jessie: The feeling’s mutual.

Pepe: (Sniffing) And what is that delicious smell?

Sally: As you may have guessed….

*(She revealed the corn muffins to them)*

Sally: All of these corn muffins for you, except Oogie, who doesn’t like corn.

Pepe: *Sacre bleu*! *Merci*!

*(He took a corn muffin for him and Penelope and they ate it calmly)*

Penelope: Still delicious as ever.

*(They notice the remaining Team Fantasy members)*

Pepe: And who are they?

Meowth: I’m glad you asked. These are….

*(Oogie beat Meowth to the answer, as if interested)*

Oogie: Ah, Team Fantasy, I presume.

James: How did…?

Oogie: (To James) We hear the gossip of the circus bugs above ground, that’s what. *(To the remaining Team Fantasy members)* My name is Oogie Boogie.

*(He noticed Bia and took her hand to shake it)*

Oogie: And you must be Bia Jetstream.

Bia: Why, yes. I'm very pleased to meet you, Oogie.

Oogie: And I hear rumors that, your singing is beautiful, correct?

*(The others got calmly surprised)*

Bia: Oh, well….

Sally: None of us think Bia would like to sing now.

Jack: She is, well….

Oogie: What?

Penelope: My guess. Heartbreak. Is your broken heart troubling you?

Bia: Well, yes…. And like Sally and Jack said, I'm not in a mood….

Pepe: None of us underground had no idea you can sing.

Sally: That’s right, dear.

*(Zero barks in agreement)*

Jessie: We’ll just wait until you feel better or….

Oogie: Actually, all of us would love to hear your melodious voice.

*(The remaining Team Fantasy members glared calmly at Oogie)*

Anger: Have you no qualm of what Bia is feeling now?

Fear: “Qualm” means….

Oogie: (Casually) I am aware of the meaning of “qualm.”

Pepe: Well, why not tell us about why your heart is broken?

*(Silence, then Sonic spoke up rolling his eyes)*

Sonic: Look, I don’t think this girl….

Bia: Well, alright. I guess I’ll tell you. In song form.

*(The underground dwellers got calmly interested. The remaining Team Fantasy members got calmly concerned)*

Sally: Are you sure you want to sing for them?

Bia: Positive.

*(The remaining members shrugged and stepped back with the underground dwellers as Bia stood in the center like a stage)*

Bia: This is the story of my romantic love that ended tragic, along with the sun.

Oogie: Sun, schmun! I hate the sun!

*(They look at him, but he changed his tone)*

Oogie: But other than that, go ahead and tell us.

*(Bia nods and begins at first)*

Bia: Once upon a time, there was….

*(Jessie cleared her throat, making Bia realize)*

Bia: Sorry. Forgot the singing part.

*(Then Bia started singing the story, much to the calm interest and amazement of the underground dwellers who came to like Bia’s singing)*

Bia: **Once there was the sun**

**Bright and warm and wonderful**

**Just like the love**

**Within my heart**

*(Then she daydreamed of dancing slowly with Rev in the golden clouds in the sunlight. Then after the dancing, she sat)*

Bia: **Now there’s no more sun**

**Winter has killed everything**

**Although it’s dark December**

**Forever I’ll remember sun**

*(As the song ended, Bia sadly ended her daydream and back in reality. The remaining Team Fantasy members then went up to Bia comfortingly as the girl started to cry softly and the underground dwellers smiled softly and a little sadly, as if touched by the song)*

Bia: (Crying softly) Rev was good for me. But he and sun are gone now.

*(The underground dwellers, except Oogie, who shrugged, felt sorry for them as they stood up)*

Penelope: We’re so sorry.

Oogie: Well, you ain’t gonna be killing yourself like the female titular character in “Romeo and Juliet,” right?

*(The remaining Team Fantasy members and even Bia got shocked)*

Disgust: (Surprised) What? No!

Bia: (Indignantly) I love life!

Rosie: (Indignantly) She would never…!

Oogie: (Casually) Relax! I was just trying to heal wounds.

*(Pepe came up to Bia respectively calmly)*

Pepe: (Blushing) Well….I guess I give my condolences as well.

*(Bia smiled softly a bit along with the remaining Team Fantasy members, feeling a little better from Pepe’s comforting words unlike Oogie’s. Foghorn, still naked and holding on to the towel to cover up his nudity, came out of the bathroom and went over to Bia and the remaining Team Fantasy members and sat down with them. Suddenly, they heard a loud crash outside in the tunnel, startling them)*

Penelope: What was that?!

Foghorn: A cave-in?!

Joy: No, it sounded more like a crash!

*(The Wolf ran to the window and noticed a huge pile of snow out in the tunnel from where the crashing sound came from)*

Wolf: Uh, guys! Something crashed into this tunnel!

*(They go outside into the tunnel and investigated the snow pile)*

Jack: How in the world could a huge pile of snow crash into the tunnel?

Sally: Something must’ve made that hole up there.

*(Suddenly, Gypsy noticed a yellow object sticking out of the snow pile)*

Gypsy: Hey! I see something sticking out!

*(They notice as well. Cautiously, Bia, Foghorn, Sally, and Sonic dug through the snow on the object and realized, much to their and the remaining Team Fantasy members’, shock, it was an unconscious body in the form of….)*

Remaining Team Fantasy members: Daffy!

*(Sally checked his neck for a pulse)*

Sally: His heart’s not beating.

*(Everyone got shocked, except Oogie who got calmly surprised)*

Wolf: (Shocked) But…! Daffy! He can’t…!

*(Sadness studied him and realized something else)*

Sadness: He’s actually barely alive still. He’s in a state of hypothermia.

Disgust: Hypothermia?

*(Zero barked in question)*

Jack: It’s when your body temperature drops from the cold when you’re out in the cold for too long, especially if you’re in cold water for too long. And if not treated quickly, the victim will die.

Tails: Then what can we do to help him?

Amy: Get him warm immediately.

Knuckles: And we have our powers in mine and your hands to act as a defibrillator to help him.

Amy: Good idea, Knuckles.

*(Foghorn took his towel off and blanketed Daffy in it like a blanket. Seeing him help, the underground dwellers knew what they must do)*

Jessie: We gotta help!

Pepe: Let us help!

*(But Oogie on the other hand….)*

Oogie: Ooooh…!

Sally: What’s wrong, Oogie?

Oogie: I just gotta go to the bathroom. To compose myself. I can’t bear to see this end in tears.

*(He runs off to go to the bathroom. Watching him leave, the underground dwellers got concerned while the remaining Team Fantasy members calmly glared at Oogie’s selfish decision)*

Jessie: Never mind him. Let’s help your duck friend.

*(They nod and resume helping Daffy’s body. After Amy set a bonfire near Daffy on fire with her powers, each Team Fantasy member and each underground dweller, especially Knuckles, took turns keeping Daffy and his heart’s location warm, hoping they’ll revive him and bring back his pulse. Finally, an hour later, it was Bia’s turn after Knuckles used his powers to act as a defibrillator)*

Bia: Come on, Daffy….Please wake up….

*(After Bia finished, Cosmo checked for a pulse again, but nothing still)*

Cosmo: Nothing still.

Jack: We did everything the medical book said about hypothermia.

Bia: No! Foghorn and I can’t lose Daffy like Rev!

Foghorn: We can’t!

*(She tried again, and after that, still no response. Bia teared up a bit)*

Bia: (Tearfully) Daffy…? Please wake up….

*(She tried again, this time shaking in despair. But still nothing. Then, the girl teared up even more and laid her head on Daffy’s chest where his heart is and cried)*

Bia: (Crying) Daffy…! Why did you…?

*(She sobbed softly. The underground dwellers and serious remaining members of Team Fantasy just hung their heads sadly in sympathy while the non-serious remaining members of Team Fantasy teared up a bit)*

Sadness: Bia….

*(She pats Bia’s back in comfort in calm sadness)*

Foghorn: (In calm sadness) He, I say, he was a good friend….

*(He sheds a tear)*

Foghorn: (In calm sadness) We tried, but…. There’s nothing we can do for him….

*(Bia continued to cry on Daffy as she gently hugged his chest. Then, as she cried, her tears plopped onto Daffy’s chest where his heart is located and then suddenly, she stopped crying upon feeling something that she jumped up in surprise, much to everyone’s notice, making them snap out of their grieving as well)*

Lola: What is it?

Bia: Feel his neck….

*(Lola does, and to her calm surprise, she realized why Bia reacted)*

Lola: Daffy’s pulse.

*(Everyone got calmly hopeful then. Lola felt more of the pulse again)*

Sofia: It’s getting a little faster.

*(Then, Daffy slowly moved a bit, much to everyone’s happiness)*

Cosmo: (Hopefully) Daffy?

*(Then, Daffy slowly opened his eyes as he groaned softly. Elsewhere, Oogie is returning, seemingly calmed down. The others noticed)*

Sally: He’s alive again!

*(Oogie got calmly relieved, but not too relieved for some reason)*

Oogie: Well…. That’s a huge relief, I’ll say.

*(Daffy came to upon waking up finally and noticed his friends)*

Daffy: (Softly) Hey, guys…. I’m glad you’re okay….

Foghorn: (Happily) Son!

*(Foghorn and Daffy embrace each other, like they're having a father and son moment)*

Foghorn: Don't, I say, don't you scare me like that, boy! You really had us worried.

Daffy: Thanks, big guy.

*(Daffy stopped hugging Foghorn for a moment and saw him completely naked)*

Daffy: (Covering his eyes in embarrassment) Woah, you're naked!

Bia: Here, you can use my cloak to cover yourself up with.

Foghorn: Thanks, gal. At least we're all okay.

*(Bia hugged Foghorn while the remaining Team Fantasy members nods with soft smiles and then Daffy looked around in curiosity)*

Daffy: Where are we?

Tails: Three feet underground.

Amy: So, we’re gonna stay here until Spring comes.

Jack: And we all pitched in to revive you.

*(Jack narrowed his dagger stare at Oogie)*

Jack: (Flatly) Unlike a certain gambler who cares about bathrooms.

*(Oogie calmly glared at him, but shook it off)*

Ooogie: (Chuckles) Yes. Except I don’t like to be called that name.

Fear: You mean a g…?

*(Heimlich covers his mouth)*

Heimlich: Didn’t you hear what he said?

*(He uncovers Fear’s mouth)*

Fear: Sorry.

*(Impressed by Bia’s courage to revive Daffy, Pepe smiled softly at the girl)*

Pepe: Wow….Such kindness….

*(Later, Sally’s group and the remaining Team Fantasy members, including Daffy, bidded goodbye to Pepe’s group and Oogie, returning to Sally’s group’s house)*

***Coming up: Pepe makes a marriage proposal to Bia respectively, much to Penelope’s secret concern. Then after they leave, Oogie and Jessie encourage Bia to think it over. After the remaining members of Team Fantasy are alone, Bia sadly lashes out at Daffy and Foghorn that it’s hopeless and then Daffy, with Jack, Foghorn, and the Toon Patrol accompanying them, secretly follow Oogie to somewhere that might lead to the other missing Team Fantasy members, which ends in a miraculous secret rescue mission.***
