Meeting B.E.N./Link’s Group Takes Zelda and Elise Out of the Tower

*(At a forest with a log cottage, Kiki’s group arrived following the Yellow Brick Road still. Unknown to them, Maleficent, Splatter Phoenix, the Sanderson Sisters, and Diablo are hidden, watching them and then vanished without being seen. Kiki’s group, meanwhile, noticed a bunch of apple trees)*

Yuki: Yum!

Satsuki and Mei: Apples!

Kanta: Boy, am I starving!

Kiki, Tombo, Satsuki, Mei, Yuki, and Jiji: Me too!

Flippy: I love apples!

Ventus: And me!

*(Suddenly realizing they have food already, Kiki, Tombo, Satsuki, Kanta, and Jiji suddenly changed their answer to Mei and Yuki)*

Tombo: But we have food already.

Satsuki: Yeah.

Mei: But what if we run out upon eating them?

Sora's group: (In agreement) Better safe that sorry.

Lea: And besides, those apples look delicious.

*(Realizing they’re right after hearing their stomachs growl a bit, especially what Lea just said, Kiki, Tombo, Satsuki, Kanta, and Jiji happily gave in)*

Kanta: I guess it’s worth gathering more food then.

Jiminy: Great idea, Kanta.

Aqua: Let's pick some apples then.

*(They walk up to a nearby apple tree and after Kiki picked an apple off a branch and just when she was gonna inspect it for worms, an arm of the tree's branch snatched the apple back from her, surprising her and her Kansas group)*

Kiki's Kansas group: What the…?!

Apple tree 1: What do you think you’re doing?!

*(Feeling guilty, Kiki spoke up apologetically)*

Kiki: Sorry, we were hungry and….

*(She stopped when Satsuki got annoyed)*

Satsuki: I can’t believe we’re talking to a talking apple tree.

Sora: My brothers, friends, and I especially forgot this forest has talking apple trees.

Lea: Oh, yeah.

*(The first apple tree turned to the other apple trees)*

Apple tree 1: They were hungry.

Apple tree 2: They were hungry.

*(The first apple tree turned back to Kiki's group in anger)*

Apple tree 1: But how would you like it if someone picks something off of you?

Tombo: Well, I wouldn’t like it, but….

Apple tree 1: Then keep your hands to yourself!

Mei: You’re the rudest tree…!

Satsuki: (Stopping her and cutting her off) Mei, don’t provoke him even more!

Riku: (Agreeing) Those apple trees like to pick fights if you do that.

Winter: Yeah.

Kairi: Then we never get apples from them after that.

*(Suddenly, Pinocchio got an idea and turned to his friends, speaking up while winking at them secretly)*

Pinocchio: You know what, let’s get out of here. We don’t want to eat those apples!

*(Getting the idea, Kiki's group played along and agreed)*

Jiminy: I agree, Pinocchio.

Yuki: We don’t need them.

Apple tree 1: Are you hinting my apples aren’t what they ought to be?

*(Pinocchio and the others casually shook their heads)*

Kiki’s group: No way. (Nope.)

Jiminy: It’s just we don’t want to eat little green worms.

Namine: Icky, disgusting worms.

*(Insulted, the apple trees got angry and began to throw apples at them, including the one that the first apple tree snatched from Kiki. One of the apples hits Pinocchio squarely in his nose, but he took it off and threw it aside since it’s now damaged. Realizing they threw apples at Kiki's group while Pinocchio cleaned off the rest of the apple residue from his face and nose, the apple trees stopped throwing and the first apple tree shouted at them)*

Apple tree 1: You could’ve asked permission to have those apples instead!

Satsuki: Now you tell us.

Jiji: I'll say.

*(Satsuki picks an apple up)*

Kiki's group: Thanks.

*(The apples trees just mumbled in anger a bit and then slowly went back to sleep. Kiki’s group then proceeded to pick up the apples and pack them in Kiki, Tombo, Satsuki, Mei, and Kanta’s backpacks. After Kiki picked up the last apple and packed it in her backpack, she suddenly noticed a pair of rusty copper legs standing in front of her. She stood up and saw that the legs came from a male copper-rusted robot with green pixelated bug eyes and a yellowed white compass symbol on his chest, which act as his compartment in his chest, just standing there, holding an axe)*

Kiki: Hey guys! Come here!

*(The others arrived and noticed the robot as well)*

Mei and Jiji: A robot?

Terra: Let alone a copper-armored one covered in rust?

Tombo: Why isn’t he moving?

*(Suddenly, the robot mumbled something a bit through his closed mouth without moving)*

Kiki: What did you say?

*(The robot mumbled something a bit again)*

Robot: (Mumbling a bit) Mmoilm man.

Jiminy: I think he said “Oil can.”

Pinocchio: Oil can what?

Jiminy: No, no, Pinocchio. He meant an object called an oil can.

Pinocchio: (Realizing) Oh! An oil can. Okay.

Jiji: But where is one?

Lea: Where would I be if I were an oil can?

Pyra: That's a good question.

*(Suddenly, Kiki noticed an oil can sitting on a nearby tree stump and picked it up)*

Kiki: Here it is!

*(She turned to the robot again)*

Kiki: Where do you want to be oiled first?

*(The robot mumbled a bit again)*

Robot: (Mumbling a bit) Mmym mounm.

Kiki: Your mouth?

Robot: (Mumbling a bit) Mm-hmm.

Kiki: Okay.

*(She then squirted some oil into the robot’s mouth, until the robot rubbed his lips together, moving them again. Then he opened them and spoke up gratefully)*

Robot: Wow! I can talk again! Thank you! Can you oil the rest of my body please?

Kiki: Sure.

*(She oils his arms, and then she and Tombo helped move his arms again)*

Tombo: Does it hurt?

Robot: Nope! It feels good!

*(He then introduced himself)*

Robot: My name is Bio-Engineering Navigator, or B.E.N. for short!

Kanta: That’s your name?

B.E.N.: Yes!

Xion: How did you get stuck here?

Yuki: What happened?

B.E.N.: Glad you asked. You see, a year ago, I was cutting a tree down to make firewood. Suddenly, it started to rain. Just when I tried to take shelter in that cottage over there, I rusted solid here ever since then, up until now.

*(He chuckles a bit. After Kiki oiled his neck, she helped turn B.E.N.'s head with his robotic hands until it moved again)*

B.E.N.: Thanks!

Kiki: You’re perfect again!

Mei: Perfect as can ever be for a robot!

Sora's group: Exactly!

*(B.E.N. suddenly gave a flat expression, confusing Kiki's group)*

Jiminy: What’s that look for?

B.E.N.: If you think I’m perfect, bang on my chest. Go ahead, uh…?

Kiki: Kiki Witherspoon.

B.E.N.: Then bang my chest, Double Key!

Kiki: It’s Kiki.

B.E.N.: Just kidding around. Go ahead.

*(Kiki bangs on his chest, emitting a little brief hollow echo)*

Pinocchio: What an echo! It’s beautiful!

*(B.E.N. then got sad)*

B.E.N.: Actually, it’s empty.

Kiki’s group: "Empty?"

B.E.N.: My creator forgot to give me a heart.

Kiki’s group: (Surprised) No heart?

B.E.N.: (Nods sadly) No heart. It’s all hollow.

*(Wanting to cheer B.E.N. up, Kiki’s group asked him)*

Kanta: What would you do if you had a heart?

Leo: Out of curiosity.

B.E.N.: Well….

*(He thinks it over and then perking up, he begins singing his explanation)*

B.E.N.: **When a man’s an empty kettle**

**He should be on his mettle**

**And yet, I’m torn apart**

**Just because I’m assumin’**

**That I could be kind of human**

**If I only had a heart**

**I’d be tender, I’d be gentle**

**And awful sentimental**

**Regarding love and art**

**I’d be friends with the sparrows**

**And the boy who shoots the arrows**

**If I only had a heart**

**Picture me a balcony**

**Up above, a voice sings low**

**“Wherefore are thou, Romeo?”**

**Thump, thump**

**I hear a beat**

**Thump, thump**

**How sweet**

**Just to register emotion**

**Jealousy, devotion**

**And really feel the part**

**I could stay young and chipper**

**And I’d lock it with a zipper**

**If I only had a heart**

*(He then points at his legs and Kiki oiled his entire legs and hips. Once moving again, B.E.N. danced around on the Yellow Brick Road and even tooted like a choo-choo train, startling a happy bit giggling Mei and Yuki. While watching the dance, Kiki’s group whispered a bit in a huddle, as if talking about inviting B.E.N. to come with them to get a heart. Then after his dance finished, he did a cartwheel and then clumsily stumbled onto the grass by the cottage, much to Kiki’s group’s concern. They then ran up to him and helped him up)*

Satsuki: You okay?

B.E.N.: Yeah. Just a little rusty on the left shoulder.

*(Kiki oils his left shoulder, fixing him up and then packing the oil can in her backpack)*

Kiki: While you were dancing, we were thinking of asking you to come with us to Emerald City and ask the Wizard of Oz to get you a heart.

Tombo and Kanta: Yeah.

Satsuki: We’re going to meet him as well!

Jiji: Me, my owner, and her friends want to ask the Wizard to send us back home to Kansas.

Sora: And me and my group are asking the Wizard to help us learn how to do magic the right way.

Chirithy: With me and the Dream Eater pets also learning how to fly.

Lollie: And breathe magic.

Pinocchio: And I’m asking the Wizard to get me a brain.

Jiminy: And make me a perfect conscience.

B.E.N.: But what if this Wizard won’t give us what we want when we get there?

Kiki: I’m sure he would help us.

Yuki: It's not like he'll deny us them.

Satsuki: We’ve come a long way so far.

Sora's group: Exactly.

*(Suddenly, they heard five bit of evil cackles and noticed on the cottage roof Maleficent, Splatter Phoenix, the Sanderson Sisters, and Diablo looking down at them with evil smirks)*

Winifred: You call that long?

Maleficent: You just began.

Splatter Phoenix: And we sure didn’t forget you.

Sarah: Indeedy!

*(Noticing Pinocchio, Jiminy, B.E.N., and Sora's group, the four evil witches and raven smirked evilly even more)*

Winifred: So, you’re helping them, I see.

Splatter Phoenix: Well, heed our warnings, punks!

Winifred: Stay away from them!

Maleficent: (Points at Pinocchio and Jiminy) Or we’ll chop you into firewood and make a cricket pie out of you!

Winifred: (Points at Sora's group) And we'll make you our slaves, harems, and scaled or furred pelts!

Mary: I like fur!

Splatter Phoenix: (Points at B.E.N.) And we could use you for a beehive! *(To Maleficent, the Sanderson Sisters, and Diablo)* Right?

Maleficent and Sanderson Sisters: Indeed. (Indeedy.)

*(The five villains then conjured up each a fireball with Maleficent's wand and their own hands)*

Maleficent: Here, little puppet.

Mary: Wanna play ball?

Winifred: Don't be shy!

Sarah: Let's play!

*(The five fire the fireballs at Kiki's group, who dodged. As the fireball burned at its spot, Pinocchio freaked out)*

Pinocchio: Keep it away from me!

*(Kiki, Tombo, Satsuki, Mei, and Kanta hugged Pinocchio in anger and defense)*

Kiki and Satsuki: You wicked witches! (witches and jerks!)

Tombo, Kanta, Yuki, and Jiji: Back off!

Mei: Hurt any of our friends or else…!

Splatter Phoenix: Or else what?

Winifred: You don’t have powers to face us besides your dumb witch girl!

*(Kiki glared fiercely at Winifred in anger at that insult)*

Maleficent, Splatter Phoenix, and Sanderson Sisters: And we will get those items back from you!

*(As the five villains cackled evilly a bit again, B.E.N. stomped out the flames with his foot, since he’s made of metal, while Kiki and Sora's group assisted him, with Sora's group surprised that they were able to magically help put the flames out, and then the four evil witches and Diablo disappeared in a burst of flames again. After they were gone, Kiki's group recovered and got angry)*

Pinocchio: Even though that ball of flame scared me, I’m not afraid of those witches!

Jiminy: That’s right! We’ll help each other get to the Wizard, even if we die trying!

Pinocchio: Make me firewood? *(Scoffs and snaps his fingers)* I like to see them try.

Jiminy: And me a cricket pie? Please!

*(He snaps his fingers, too)*

Sora: And me and my friends their slaves and harems?

Chirithy: And me and the Dream Eater pets their scaled and furred pelts?

Sora's group: In their dreams!

*(They snap their fingers, too)*

B.E.N.: I will support us too! Beehive, please! Let them see if they make me a beehive!

*(He snaps his fingers as well)*

Kiki: Thank you.

Satsuki: You guys are the best.

Mei: Yeah.

Tombo: Although, come to think of it, this is weird.

Kanta: It feels as if we knew each other already.

Yuki: But we couldn’t have, right?

Jiji: Have we?

Jiminy: I don’t see why not.

Sora: You weren't there when my brothers, friends, and I were enslaved by an evil witch before you came along, right?

Kiki's Kansas group: Nope.

Pinocchio: You weren’t there when I was carved and built, right?

Kiki's Kansas group: Nope.

B.E.N.: And you weren’t there when I rusted solid, right?

Kiki's Kansas group: Nope.

*(They shrugged)*

Kiki: Regardless, we know each other now, right?

*(They nod in agreement)*

Kiki's Kansas group: To Oz?

Sora's group, Pinocchio, Jiminy, and B.E.N.: To Oz!

*(They then began singing as they marched along down the Yellow Brick Road deeper into the forest)*

Kiki’s group: **We’re off to see the Wizard**

**The Wonderful Wizard of Oz**

**We’ll find he is a whiz of a wiz**

**If ever a wiz there was**

**If ever, oh ever, a wiz there was**

**The Wizard of Oz is one**

**Because, because, because, because**

**Because, because**

**Because of the wonderful things**

**He does**

**We’re off to see the Wizard**

**The Wonderful Wizard of Oz**

*(Meanwhile, back at the Haunted Forest, Link's group is looking around for anyone to ask if they heard anything about where the lost princesses are)*

Christopher: Hello? Anybody here?

*(Suddenly, they heard some rustling in the bushes)*

Link: Who’s there?

*(Suddenly, a pack of Wolfos leapt out and attempted to attack them, but Link's group, using quick thinking, pulled their swords out, with Link wielding the Master Sword, and whacked and/or blasted some away as Link's group ran quickly)*

Christopher: Great!

Link: Wolfos!

Aryll: Run!

*(They continued to run and run until they lost the Wolfos. Panting a bit in relief, they sighed in relief immediately, having lost the Wolfos pack. Link's group then noticed a familiar tower in front of them)*

Link: Maybe someone will help us in our search.

Christopher and Aryll: I agree.

*(They run up to the tower. After inspecting it, they noticed the cable to the elevator and climbed up. Upon reaching the window, they entered and looked around, for it was empty)*

Link and Christopher: Odd….

Aryll: There has to be someone here....

*(Link's group noticed a basket of paint supplies and took a closer look in curiosity. Then they noticed all the painted canvas walls)*

Aryll: Someone must be a good artist.

Christopher: Definitely beautiful art.

Link: I'll say.

*(Suddenly, something whacked Link's group in the back of their heads, knocking them out. The three collapsed, revealing that it was a panicked Zelda and Elise whacking them with their own broomsticks and Mushu and Cri-Kee, looking concerned, is sitting on each of their shoulders)*

Mushu: Good whack. Who do they think they are, barging in like that?

*(Zelda and Elise nod in agreement. Mushu and Cri-Kee then jumped off of Zelda and Elise's own shoulders and approached Link's group and Mushu pointed at Link’s mouth)*

Mushu: Check if they have pointy teeth.

Zelda and Elise: Okay.

*(Using the handle of their broomsticks, Zelda and Elise carefully opened Link and Christopher’s respective lips, to reveal that the two have normal teeth. Confused, Zelda and Elise turned to Mushu and Cri-Kee)*

Elise: They don’t have pointy teeth.

*(They notice Link's group groaning a bit, about to wake up, and Zelda and Elise whack them again, knocking them out again. Using quick thinking, Zelda and Elise stuffed Link's group's unconscious bodies into the closet and locked it)*

Zelda: We got three trespassers in the closet.

*(She and Elise suddenly gasped in realization)*

Elise: (Gasps with Zelda) Wait a minute...!

Zelda: We got three trespassers in the closet!

Mushu: Yeah, so?

*(Mushu suddenly realized what Zelda and Elise meant when Cri-Kee gave him an annoyed "Figure it out." look)*

Mushu: Oh! You mean...? That you...?

Zelda and Elise: Yes! (Yeah!)

Elise: We’ll show them now that we are mature enough to leave and defend ourselves!

Zelda: Then they’ll take us to Emerald City!

Mushu: Good idea!

*(Suddenly, they heard Splatter Phoenix and the Sanderson Sisters call out to Zelda and Elise)*

Splatter Phoenix and Sanderson Sister: (Voice-over) Zelda, Elise! We’re home!

*(Mushu and Cri-Kee went back into their hiding spot, and Elise raised the elevator for Splatter Phoenix while the Sanderson Sisters flew in on their broomsticks)*

Splatter Phoenix: Did you have a good time?

Winifred: Please tell us you did.

Zelda and Elise: Yes!

Zelda: And we got…!

Splatter Phoenix: I’m gonna make you your favorite hazelnut soup for dinner tonight!

Mary: Very yummy!

Zelda and Elise: Great!

Elise: Anyway, remember when Zelda and I told you about the lights from Emerald City?

Splatter Phoenix: Yes.

Winifred: But I thought we dropped that subject?

Elise: And we got something to….

Splatter Phoenix: And we told you, you’re not ready to leave this tower yet.

Winifred: That's right.

Sarah: Please drop it.

Elise: But this is…!

Splatter Phoenix and Sanderson Sisters: Girls….

Zelda and Elise: We just want…!

*(Splatter Phoenix and Winifred begin to lose her patience, much to Sarah and Mary's notice)*

Splatter Phoenix and Winifred: Girls…!

Zelda: Just listen!

*(Splatter Phoenix and Winifred finally snapped)*

Splatter Phoenix and Winidred: ENOUGH WITH THE LIGHTS, GIRLS!!!! YOU ARE NOT LEAVING THIS TOWER EVER!!!!

*(Zelda and Elise got silent and scared from the shouting)*

Mary: (While Sarah cleared her throat) Uh, Splatter Phoenix, Winnie...?

*(Realizing their temper upon hearing Sarah's throat clear and Mary, Splatter Phoenix and Winifred calmed down and sighed in exhaustion)*

Splatter Phoenix: I'm sorry for yelling.

Winifred: My apologies, too, girls.

Sarah: But seriously, we don’t want to treat you like we’re the bad guy.

Mary: Which is very, very bad.

*(Zelda and Elise silently narrowed their eyes secretly at the closet, and then thinking up a plan, spoke up disappointedly)*

Zelda: What Elise and I wanted was….

Splatter Phoenix and Sanderson Sisters: Yes?

Zelda: We wanted more paint for our shared birthdays.

Elise: From the color-making shells.

Sarah: (Perplexed) Really?

Splatter Phoenix: That’s a three day journey.

Zelda and Elise: We know.

Elise: (Shrugs in disappointment) But it’ll be better than those lights.

*(A short pause, then Splatter Phoenix and the Sanderson Sisters smiled and thankfully for Zelda and Elise, the four fell for it)*

Mary: Aw, how can refuse such a birthday present like that?

Winifred: Very well.

Sarah: Okay.

Splatter Phoenix: We’ll leave for three days to get them for you.

*(Zelda and Elise smiled softly)*

Zelda and Elise: Thank you.

*(They hugged)*

Splatter Phoenix and Sanderson Sisters: We love you very much.

Zelda and Elise: We love you more.

Splatter Phoenix and Sanderson Sisters: We love you most.

*(After the hug ended, Splatter Phoenix and the Sanderson Sisters then went to the window, with Splatter Phoenix carrying a sack)*

Splatter Phoenix: We’ll be home in three days.

Mary: Stay safe in here.

Splatter Phoenix and Sanderson Sisters: Goodbye. (Bye-bye.)

Zelda and Elise: Goodbye, Mother and Aunts Winnie, Sarah, and Mary.

*(After the elevator was lowered while the Sanderson Sisters flew out on their broomsticks, Splatter Phoenix then left with the Sanderson Sisters until they disappeared. Seeing her and Elise's chance now, Zelda unlocked the closet and she and Elise carried Link's group’s unconscious bodies out while Mushu and Cri-Kee came out of hiding)*

Mushu: So, you’ll ask those two boys and that girl to help instead?

Zelda and Elise: Yep.

*(Zelda then grabbed a nearby long line of rope and tied Link’s group's bodies to a column and Zelda then nods at Mushu to wake them up)*

Mushu: Oh no, I ain’t wakin' them by biting their butts.

Zelda: You won’t.

Elise: Just lick any of them.

Mushu: (Flatly) Like a dog?

Elise: (Nods) Just like a dog. Go on.

*(Even Cri-Kee chirps a bit in agreement. Mushu sighed and jumped up on Link’s shoulder. He licks him, stirring him awake slowly and then wretched from the lick)*

Mushu: Ech! Gross!

*(Link woke up slowly along with Christopher and Aryll and then Link's group noticed Mushu on Link's shoulder and gasped, making Mushu gasp as well and jump off his shoulder)*

Aryll: What's going on?

*(Then Link's group noticed they are tied up together and got confused)*

Christopher: What the...?!

*(Zelda then spoke up in the shadows, holding her broomstick along with Elise with her broomstick)*

Zelda: We’re not afraid of you, trespassers!

Elise: Just don't hurt us!

*(Link's group got dumbfounded)*

Link's group: "Trespassers?" "Hurt you?"

Christopher: What are you…?

Zelda: (Enunciating) Don’t, play, dumb. My sister and I know why you’re here. I think.

Elise: So no tricks.

Link: Um, can you come out so we can see?

*(Hesitating, Zelda and Elise turned to Mushu and Cri-Kee, who nod to them to come out. Then the two gathered their courage, slowly walked out into the light, and exposed themselves to Link's group, with Link and Christopher slowly becoming amazed by their beauty much to Aryll's confusion)*

Zelda: (Clutching her broomstick with Elise clutching her broomstick) Who are you?

Elise: And why are you here?

*(Link and Christopher continued to stare at them in silence)*

Aryll: Big Brother, Christopher?

Mushu: Hey, don't be rude! They just asked you some questions!

*(Link and Christopher snapped out of it upon hearing them and got amazed)*

Link: A dragon and cricket?

Christopher: Two young beautiful witches?

Link and Christopher: Wow.

Aryll: Well, you both heard their dragon.

Elise: Now answer our questions.

*(Realizing immediately, Link and Christopher explained away with Aryll)*

Link: My name is Link Hawkins.

Aryll: Link's little sister, Aryll.

Christopher: And their partner, Christopher Aonuma.

Link: And we’re here because we were seeking help in finding the two lost Princesses of Oz when a pack of Wolfos attacked us.

Christopher: But we escaped and thankfully came here for not only shelter, but also to find someone who can help us.

*(Zelda, Elise, Mushu, and Cri-Kee walked up to Link's group cautiously and inspected them)*

Zelda: So, Link, Christopher, and Aryll, why are you looking for these lost princesses?

Elise: Are you guys telling the truth?

Link: Because their parents miss them.

Aryll: So please, untie us and we’ll show you proof.

Christopher: We mean it.

*(Reluctant, Zelda and Elise turned to Mushu and Cri-Kee, who nod in approval)*

Mushu: They're apparently honest, from what we can tell.

*(Then Zelda and Elise nod and untied Link's group. Once freed, Link's group then pulled the picture, tiara, and necklace out of their backpacks)*

Aryll: See?

Christopher: These are the items that need to help us in our search.

*(Zelda and Elise looked at the picture of the two baby princesses and got curious)*

Zelda: Those babies have the same faces as us.

Elise: Huh.

*(Hearing Zelda and Elise, Link and Christopher looked at their faces closely in curiosity, much to Zelda and Elise's discomfort when they noticed)*

Zelda and Elise: Hey!

*(They slapped each of them across their faces)*

Aryll: (Scoldingly) Christopher, Big Brother!

Christopher: (Ignoring Aryll) Why did you do that?

Link: We were just taking a look!

*(Realizing, Zelda and Elise became apologetic)*

Elise: Oh, we’re so, so, so sorry!

Zelda: (Apologizing in agreement) We didn’t know.

Link's group: (Forgiving them) It's alright.

Christopher: Well, now that the apology's accepted....

Link: Can we take a closer look this time?

*(Zelda and Elise nod and Link's group took a closer look at their faces)*

Aryll: Yep, the princesses in that baby picture do look like you.

Christopher: Cute looking even.

*(Link's group began to ponder along with Zelda and Elise)*

Link: Do you think…?

*(Zelda and Elise then accepted the tiara and multi-beaded necklace respectively and placed each of them on Zelda's head and Elise's neck after she removed her main necklace and amulet and then they and Link's group, Mushu, and Cri-Kee looked in the mirror to see. After staring silently, they shrugged)*

Zelda, Elise, Mushu, and Link's group: (With Cri-Kee shrugging it off in agreement) Nah.

*(Zelda and Elise then took the tiara and multi-beaded necklace off and after they give them and the picture back to Link's group, Elise puts her main necklace and amulet back on)*

Elise: We're sure you’ll find them eventually.

Christopher: (Thinking loudly) Or maybe….

Zelda and Elise: What?

Christopher: Maybe since you look like the princesses with those faces....

Link: (Agreeing with Christopher along with Aryll) Why don’t you come with us to Emerald City and consult with the king and queen.

Christopher: As well as the Wizard of Oz himself for answers?

Aryll: What do you think?

*(Realizing they wish to take them to Emerald City, Zelda, Elise, Mushu, and Cri-Kee got surprised in amazement)*

Mushu: (While Cri-Kee chirps a bit in surprise and amazement) Really?!

Zelda and Elise: You’ll take us, Mushu, and Cri-Kee to Emerald City?!

Link: (Dumbfounded) Er, yes.

Christopher: That's the plan.

Aryll: Is that a crime?

Zelda: Ironically, my sister and I were gonna ask you to take us to Emerald City right now.

*(Link's group got surprised, too)*

Link's group: Really?!

Link: You’ll go with us?

Zelda and Elise: Yes.

Mushu: They want to go and see those lights tomorrow night on their shared birthday.

Link's group: (To Mushu) Really?

Mushu: Yep!

Aryll: Get out!

Christopher: (To Zelda and Elise) Both of your birthdays are really tomorrow?

Zelda and Elise: Yes.

Zelda: I'm turning 14 years old.

Elise: As for me, I'm turning 16, since I'm the older sister.

Christopher: Well, happy sweet sixteenth birthday to the older lost princess.

Link: Happy fourteenth birthday to her little sister, as well.

Link's group: And to you too, Misses….

Zelda: Zelda.

Elise: Elise.

Link's group: Zelda and Elise.

*(They realized something)*

Aryll: Hold the phone!

Christopher: The two lost princesses’ names are Zelda and Elise, too. Princess Zelda Hyrule and Princess Elise Oriana-Hyrule III.

Link: And their shared birthdays are tomorrow, too.

Zelda: Talk about irony.

Elise: The princesses and us have the same names and birthdays.

Link's group: And about the lights....

Christopher: Those are actually lanterns the people of Emerald City light up to commemorate their two lost princesses and their shared birthdays.

Aryll: That's called the Lantern Festival.

Zelda and Elise: "Lanterns?"

Elise: As in floating lanterns?

*(Link's group nods, then suddenly noticed their amulets)*

Link: What’re those amulets you got?

Aryll: They look pretty.

*(Zelda and Elise noticed what they’re talking about and explained)*

Zelda and Elise: This?

Zelda: They're special magic amulets that were given to us as babies upon our births.

Link: Same with the lost princesses.

Zelda: How ironic again.

Aryll: "Ironic?" More like a small world, after all.

Christopher: Anyway, what powers do they have?

Elise: They have the power to give us magic spells of all sorts, and even heal wounds and injuries.

Zelda: And also make people a little young and beautiful if they wish.

*(Interested, Link's group nods)*

Link's group: I see.

*(Zelda and Elise then tucked their own amulets in their own neck rims of their shirts)*

Elise: And we’re worried that if we lose these amulets, then we don’t have powers.

Mushu: (Impatiently) Can we just get out of the tower now and talk later?!

*(Realizing he’s right, Zelda, Elise, Cri-Kee, and Link's group got up)*

Zelda, Elise, and Link's group: Right.

Link: Can you, by any chance, fly on brooms?

Zelda: My sister and I flew around a little bit in this tower on our brooms.

Elise: But never outside.

Christopher: What about your parents?

Aryll: What would they say if…?

Elise: Actually, our father died when we were babies and/or very little. So, we don't remember him.

Zelda: But our mother and three live-in aunts never let us leave this tower.

Link's group: Why?

Zelda: They claimed that the outside world is very evil and dangerous and that they’ll hurt us and take our amulets away.

Aryll: (Aghast) Wow. "Evil and dangerous?"

*(Thinking about it, Link's groups brightened up and spoke up)*

Aryll: You know what, we got an idea.

Link: By making you a promise.

Zelda and Elise: And what’s that?

Mushu: Name it.

Christopher: You want to be safe and protected in the outside world, right?

Zelda and Elise: Yes, why?

Link: And your mother and aunts won’t let you out and don’t understand you, right?

Zelda and Elise: Yes, why?

Link: Well, without letting your mother and aunts know....

Aryll: We’ll sneak you out of here....

Christopher: Protect all of you from any danger, take you to Emerald City....

Aryll: And once we get our dreams, we’ll take you back here before your mother and aunts knows.

Link: That way no one gets hurt.

Aryll: That's right.

*(Zelda and Elise became unsure)*

Link's group: We promise.

Aryll: And promises are what we definitely keep.

*(Zelda and Elise, after contemplating upon hearing them, then smiled at their honesty and hugged them)*

Zelda and Elise: Thank you.

*(Then they ended the hug)*

Zelda and Elise: And it's a deal.

*(They shake hands. Later, Link's group climbed down to the bottom of the tower from the window on the elevator cable and called out to Zelda, Elise, and Mushu)*

Link and Christopher: You alright?

Aryll: You gonna do it?

Zelda, Elise, and Mushu: Yes!

*(Zelda and Elise seated themselves on their own brooms at the window while Mushu and Cri-Kee sat on Zelda's left shoulder)*

Mushu: You definitely ready?

Zelda: This could be it.

Elise: Yeah.

*(Zelda and Elise then begin singing)*

Zelda: **Look at the world**

**So close, and we’re halfway to it**

**Look at it all**

**So big, do we even dare?**

Elise: **Look at us**

**There at last, we just have to do it**

*(They nervously looked back into the room)*

Elise: **Should we?**

*(They got determined again)*

Zelda and Elise: **No**

**Here we go**

*(They concentrated their magic on their brooms and zipped out into the air, much to their, Mushu, and Cri-Kee’s surprise. Even Link's groups saw in surprise on the ground. Then Zelda and Elise floated down to the ground next to Link's groups and slowly stepped off the brooms. Link and Christopher then took Zelda and Elise's respective hands gently and they leave the Haunted Forest to the Yellow Brick Road, and much to Zelda and Elise’s amazement, they saw how beautiful the outside world is. Link's group then gently placed Zelda and Elise’s hands on the grass and they loved the feel)*

Elise: **Just smell the grass**

**The dirt**

**Just like we dreamed**

**They be**

*(They feel the gentle breeze)*

Zelda: **Just feel that summer breeze**

**The way it’s calling us**

*(They then touched a nearby brook and splashed a little)*

Zelda and Elise: **For, like, the first time ever**

**We’re completely free**

*(Accepting Link and Christopher’s respective hands, Zelda and Elise then started running along with them with Aryll, Mushu, and Cri-Kee slowly and then faster, following the Yellow Brick Road into a normal, yet beautiful and friendly forest, very different from the Haunted Forest)*

Zelda and Elise: **We could go running**

**And racing**

**And dancing**

**And chasing**

**And leaping**

**And bounding**

**And flying**

**Hearts pounding**

**And splashing**

**And reeling**

**And finally feeling**

*(Once in the forest, Zelda and Elise were amazed by the beauty after they and Link's group, Mushu, and Cri-Kee stopped running and Zelda, Link, Elise, and Christopher let go)*

Zelda and Elise: **That’s when our lives begin**

*(After their song is finished, they panted happily a bit and then got excited along with Link's group, Mushu, and Cri-Kee)*

Zelda and Elise: We did it. We did it!

Link and Christopher: We know!

Aryll and Mushu: You’re outside!

*(They composed themselves and then Link and Zelda and Christopher and Elise took each other’s respective hands again)*

Aryll and Mushu: Shall we go now?

Zelda, Elise, Link, and Christopher: Yes!

*(They then run deeper into the forest to get to Emerald City)*

***Coming up: Kiki’s group meets a certain orange-furred cat and his young male mouse friend in the deeper part of the forest and decide to take them with as well after learning that the former wants courage and the latter wants to be his partner fighting enemies. Also, Zelda, Elise, Link, and Christopher get to know each other with Aryll, Mushu, and Cri-Kee's support, both their and Kiki's groups unaware that they’ll be destined to meet up.***
