Meowth, Yuffie, Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack's Sad Past/Meeting Ray and Going Through the Trench

*(Kiki’s group, having themselves and Yuffie, Popple, Wes, Team Rocket, and the Fearsome Four already introducing each other and learning of their dreams already, continued to trek along down the Yellow Brick Road through the forest, but then they noticed a huge trench in the way with the other side very far away)*

Tombo: What’s that trench?

*(Link's group realized what it is)*

Link: That’s Tamatoa’s lair below.

Aryll: Without a doubt.

Kiki's Kansas group: (Confused) Tamatoa?

Christopher: A giant crab-like monster.

Link: He is really greedy for anything that sparkles and treasure-like that he could get his claws on.

Yuffie: (Agreeing) He even prefers to be beautiful on the outside instead of on the inside.

Popple: (Agreeing) Oh, yeah.

Wes: (Agreeing) Without a doubt.

*(Kiki's group then turned to Zelda and Elise hopefully)*

Kiki: Do you and Elise think you can fly us across, Zelda?

Mei: Kiki is a witch like you both, but she doesn't have her broomstick to fly across.

Zelda and Elise: Yes.

Zelda: But each of us could only carry any of you guys one at a time.

Tiger: I can go first with Elise.

*(Kiki's group got surprised)*

Liquidator: That’s very brave of you, Tiger.

Wes: And I thought you were afraid.

James: So did I, Tiger.

Quackerjack: But shouldn’t ladies first be fair?

*(A short pause, then Kiki's group disagreed on the ladies first idea with a shrug)*

Kiki’s group: Nah.

*(Tiger seated with Elise on her broomstick and got ready to fly across. Suddenly, a gust of wind from the broomstick blew at Kiki's group, and the powerful gust knocked Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack down)*

Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: Hey!

*(They recovered when upon patting themselves from the dirt….)*

Megavolt: What the…? Where is it?

Wes: Where is it?

Yuffie: Where did I...?

Meowth: Why is it...?

Quackerjack: Where is he?

*(Kiki's group got confused)*

B.E.N.: Where’s what?

Lea: Your marbles?

Megavolt: No, my lucky charm!

Yuffie: Along with my lucky charm!

Wes and Meowth: And mine!

Quackerjack: And my Mr. Banana Brain doll!

*(Noticing four gold locket-like charms and the Mr. Banana Brain doll on the ground, Kiki picked them up. Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack noticed them and sighed in relief as Quackerjack accepted his Mr. Banana Brain doll back)*

Quackerjack: Thanks!

Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, and Megavolt: You found them!

Kiki: No problem, but what are the charms and doll about?

*(Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, and Megavolt quickly snatched their charms back in embarrassment while Quackerjack got embarrassed)*

Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: None of your business!

Quackerjack: (In high-pitched voice with Mr. Banana Brain) Don't ever ask that, mat.

*(Suddenly, just when they were gonna resume flying across, Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack tripped on a rock on accident and dropped the charms and Mr. Banana Brain doll, making them roll quickly towards the trench, much to the five's horror and Kiki's group’s shock. They run after the five objects and tried to grab them until….)*

Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: No, no, no, no!

*(But too late, as Yuffie and Meowth jumped at them, they missed and the charms and Mr. Banana Brain doll fell deep into the darkness of the trench. Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack, after Yuffie and Meowth recovered, stared in disbelief and got sad as they collapsed on their knees while Yuffie and Meowth seated up onto their knees)*

Megavolt: (Sadly) My charm was the only thing I had to remember her by….

Quackerjack: (Sadly) Same with Mr. Banana Brain for her....

Wes: (Sadly) Even my charm for her....

Meowth: (Sadly) And her....

Yuffie: (Sadly) And them....

*(Kiki's group got concerned for Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack and went up to them and sat next to them)*

Yuki: Who’s her and them?

*(Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack just stayed quiet. Popple, Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator then tried to cheer them up)*

Liquidator: It’s alright, Yuffie, fellas.

Popple: It'll be fine, see?

Jessie: Tell you what.

Bushroot: We’ll find you a new….

*(But they noticed Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack getting sadder)*

Popple, Jessie, and Liquidator: Sorry.

James and Bushroot: We're just trying to help.

*(Pinocchio suddenly brightened up and tried to tickle them)*

Pinocchio: Here comes Mr. Tickle Monster to brighten up your day!

*(But that didn’t work either)*

Pinocchio: (Confused) That usually works.

*(He tried again)*

Pinocchio: Hey, Yuffie, boys!

*(He makes goofy faces with his fingers, but then stopped slowly when Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack still remained depressed)*

Jiminy: Pinocchio, something *has* to be bothering Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack.

Jiji: That's without a doubt.

Tonto: (Nonchalantly) All of this over four charms and a doll?

Hayner: (In a gentle stern tone) Tonto, be nice!

*(Kiki, Satsuki, Zelda, and Elise then spoke up)*

Satsuki: Sorry about your charms.

Elise: And your Mr. Banana Brain doll.

Zelda: I bet they were really precious to you five, huh?

Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: (Sadly) Yes, they were.

*(Wanting to cheer them up, Kiki, Satsuki, Zelda, and Elise then tried to speak up)*

Kiki: Just what’s going on?

Satsuki: What have the doll and charms done for you?

*(Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack remained quiet and uneasy)*

Satsuki: Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Quackerjack, Sparky, why can't...?

*(Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack finally snapped in anger, shocking Kiki’s group while Popple, Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator remained calm, as if they knew Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack’s problems)*

Megavolt: Don't call me "Sparky!"

Yuffie: And you have no idea what it’s like to lose someone when you’re little!

Quackerjack: That's right!

Wes and Meowth: So drop it!

*(The five crossed their arms in anger. Kiki’s group remained silent and confused)*

Zelda: (Confused) "Lose someone?" Is something scarring you five in the past?

*(Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack scoffed, turning away from Zelda, who then got stern)*

Zelda: Something has to be bothering you. Why not talk about it?

Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: We don't wanna.

Zelda: Surely, your other five friends would agree with us.

*(Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack looked at Popple, Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator upon hearing Zelda say that and got agitated when the other five even gave the first five an annoyed “I insist you tell them” look)*

Quackerjack: What's with those looks?!

Megavolt: Don’t give us those looks!

Yuffie: So stop that!

Wes: It's nobody's business but ours!

Meowth: That's right!

*(They still stared with that look. Even Zelda is sternly insistent)*

Zelda: (Sternly) Yuffie, boys....

*(Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack, hearing her tone, then slowly melted their anger away and finally, seeing that she insists along with everyone else, sighed sadly. Just when Zelda was about to speak again, Megavolt breaks the silence finally, confessing with Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, and Quackerjack)*

Megavolt: Those charms and that doll were a dedication for our late mothers.

Yuffie: And my parents.

Quackerjack: They died on separate days.

Wes and Meowth: Yeah.

*(Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack went glum immediately)*

Elise: How did your mothers and Yuffie's parents die?

*(Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack sighed sadly)*

Megavolt: Mine died from tuberculosis.

Yuffie: My parents died from pneumonia.

Wes, Meowth, and Quackerjack: And mine from cancer.

*(Kiki's group looked at Popple, Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator)*

Fievel: Tuberculosis?

Yuki: Cancer?

Jiji: And even pneumonia?

Kogane: (Dumbfounded) I know what cancer and pneumonia are, but what's tuberculosis?

*(Popple, Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator nodded in agreement)*

Popple: Yeah.

Bushroot: That's what their parents and mothers had.

Liquidator: And a little education, Kogane, tuberculosis is a deadly lung disease that makes you cough up blood from your lungs from too much drug addiction.

Bushroot: Megavolt's mother really did try to quit.

James: But the consequences....

Jessie: She got it.

Liquidator: And surely, you know what pneumonia is, right?

Kiki's group except Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: (Nods) Yes.

*(Megavolt nodded sadly in agreement)*

Megavolt: Wes, Quackerjack, Yuffie, and I were children while Meowth was a kitten then. The last thing she said to me was to get a chocolate cream pie for her, because she and I loved chocolate.

*(Kiki and Satsuki got surprised)*

Kiki and Satsuki: Chocolate cream pie?

Kanta: Did you get it for her?

Megavolt: Yes. But by the time I got back….

*(He sighed sadly)*

Megavolt: She was gone already.

Zelda: When did that happen when you were little?

Megavolt: Around the middle of June, a week after my sixth birthday.

*(They looked at Yuffie, Meowth, Wes, and Quackerjack, and they explained their sides as well)*

Quackerjack: My mother died from stage four cancer in her throat. When I was eight years old. And as she died, she gave me Mr. Banana Brain as my belated eighth birthday gift. And just when she died, we shared a chocolate cream pie of our own as well.

Wes: My mother died from a stage four cancer in her leg when I was a tyke. And she, too, ate a chocolate cream pie with me before she died.

Meowth: Same with my mother for Wes' case.

Yuffie: Well, not mine. My mother, along with my father, both died from pneumonia saving my life from the harsh cold wintery lake that I nearly froze and drowned to death in.

Satsuki: So, basically, Yuffie, your parents gave their lives to save yours.

Yuffie: (Nods sadly) Yes. I miss them terribly.

*(She tears up a bit)*

Yuffie: (Calmly crying) I was really happy and blessed to be alive because of them, but another part of me wished that they could've just lived upon being saved instead like I was.

*(Feeling calmly sorry with her group as Yuffie sobbed softly, Kiki then spoke up, comfortingly patting her back gently)*

Kiki: Sorry to hear that.

Satsuki: And regarding about Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack's confession, it’s just that we were planning on having a bite to eat when we rest upon reaching the other side.

*(Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and even Yuffie, who calmly finished her crying and wiped her tears away, got confused)*

Yuffie: (Sniffles, calmly finishes her crying) Really?

Megavolt: What kind of food?

Quackerjack: Something delicious?

Wes and Meowth: Name them.

Kiki: Apples, chocolate chip cookies, potato chips, sandwiches, and yes, four slices of chocolate cream pie.

*(Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack didn’t react to that)*

Kiki: Bet you don’t want the slices, huh?

Yuffie: (Eyeing Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack) Actually, about that....

Megavolt: I still love to eat a chocolate cream pie slice at times when depressed, especially when I remember my mother.

Quackerjack: So do I.

Meowth: Meowth three.

Wes: Me four.

Yuffie: It's true.

*(Realizing Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack aren’t scarred by the chocolate cream pie incident, Kiki's group calmly got relieved)*

Zelda: (To Yuffie) How do you cope with your parents' loss?

Yuffie: Calm meditation in the art of ninjitsu.

*(A short pause, then....)*

Yuffie: I *am* a ninja from Wutai after all. And yes, I may be a little amateurish, but I am also pretty skilled.

Zelda: (To Yuffie) Now we get it.

Kiki's group except Zelda and Yuffie: (Agreeing with Zelda) Yeah.

Zelda: (To Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack) And as for you four boys, go ahead and eat those slices.

Yuffie: If you're hungry.

*(Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack looked at them in calm surprise)*

Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: Right now?

*(Kiki nods in agreement)*

Zelda: I’m sure you'll always keep your mothers in your memory.

Yuffie: (Getting it slowly) Like how I do with my parents, mostly my mother....

Kiki: That's right.

Elise: Nothing to be ashamed of to remember them.

*(Then Kiki, Satsuki, Zelda, and Elise sang their hearts out)*

Kiki: **It's hard to remember**

**Summer or winter**

Satsuki: **When she hasn't been there for me**

Zelda: **A friend and companion**

Elise: **I can always depend on**

**My mother**

Kiki, Satsuki, Zelda, and Elise: **That's who I mean**

Elise: **I've taken for granted**

**Seeds that she's planted**

Zelda: **She's always behind everything**

**A teacher, a seeker**

Elise: **When both arms outreach her**

Kiki, Satsuki, Zelda, and Elise: **My mother**

**That's who I mean**

Satsuki: **Wish I could slow down the hands of time**

Kiki: **Keep things the way they are**

Zelda and Elise: **If she said so**

**I would give her the world**

**If I could**

**I would**

Kiki and Satsuki: **My love and my laughter**

**From here ever after**

**Is all that she says that she needs**

Zelda and Elise: **A friend and companion**

*(Feeling somewhat better, Yuffie, smiling sadly and softly, then joined in the song with them, which they let her)*

Yuffie: **I can always depend on**

Kiki, Satsuki, Zelda, Elise, and Yuffie: **My mother**

**That's who I mean**

**My mother**

**That's who I mean**

**That's who I mean**

*(The song over, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack felt somewhat better with soft sad smiles, when they felt and heard their stomachs growl a bit, making them, Kiki, Satsuki, Zelda, Elise, and Yuffie realize along with everyone else)*

Quackerjack: Uh, speaking of our chocolate cream pie memories before....

*(Kiki, hearing him say that, then pulls the four slices of chocolate cream pie out of her backpack and after removing the plastic wraps, held them out to Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack)*

Megavolt: That looks delicious.

Meowth: Freshly-baked.

Wes: And chocolatey.

Quackerjack: Mouth-watering even.

Kiki: I wish I shouldn’t mention it, but….

Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: (Guessing) Your mother made them?

*(Kiki nods sadly with a smile)*

Kiki: Yeah.

Satsuki: She did.

*(Kiki then changes the subject)*

Kiki: Anyway, go ahead and eat them.

*(Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerack took their own slice gently as Yuffie, Popple, Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator looked at Kiki in confusion, with Yuffie all better by now)*

Bushroot: Are you sure giving them a slice of pie of their own will…?

Tombo: That’s what they say cheers them up.

Yuffie: Really?

Bushroot: Bad idea.

Jessie: It might not work.

James: That's right.

Liquidator: But what if...?

Yuki, Jiji, and Sora's group: Don't worry.

Satsuki: (To Yuffie, Popple, Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator) Never doubt Kiki or us. *(To Kiki)* Right?

*(Kiki nods at Satsuki in agreement. Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack looked at Kiki in silence, then they sighed sadly while looking at their own slice they’re holding. Then they both took a bite on their own slice, chewed, and then swallowed. They narrowed at Kiki sadly)*

Megavolt: It is delicious.

Quackerjack: Just like how she made them.

Wes and Meowth: Yeah.

*(They then took another bite of their own and ate them as well. Then after their own third bite, chewing, and swallowing, tears flooded their eyes and spilled out of their eyes, much to Kiki's group’s calm concern. Despite fighting the urge to cry, they finished their own slices off and swallowed them as more tears streamed down. Suddenly, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack started to cry their eyes out, letting their bottled emotions out)*

Bushroot: (To Kiki in concern) That pie trick didn’t work.

Jessie and James: We told you.

Liquidator: We knew that'll....

Yuffie and Popple: Hush up.

*(As Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack continued to cry while Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator did what Yuffie and Popple ordered, Kiki, Satsuki, Zelda, Elise, and even Yuffie and Popple then hugged them respectively in comfort while Yuki, Jiji, and the four-legged members of the Dream Eater pets nuzzled them in comfort and Mushu, Cri-Kee, the two-legged members of the Dream Eater pets, and even Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator patted them on the back, surprising the four, despite that they’re still crying)*

Elise: There, there, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack.

Namine: No need to cry anymore.

Kiki: We’ll just brave that trench instead and get you and Yuffie's charms and Mr. Banana Brain back.

Zelda: Yes, just let it all out.

*(The rest of Kiki's group and even a sympathetic Tiger agreed)*

Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: (Crying) Thank you.

Megavolt: (Crying) And actually, Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator are wrong. *(Sniffles)* Wes, Meowth, Quackerjack, and I are starting to feel better from those pie slices.

Wes: (Crying) He's right. *(Sniffles)* It never felt so good, palsies!

Meowth: (Crying) Nobody ever sympathized us!

Quackerjack: (Crying) And even if we are crying, *(Sniffles)* it really brought back happy memories of our mothers!

*(They sobbed some more as they hugged Kiki, Satsuki, Zelda, and Elise back respectively. After their crying calmed down and they began wiping tears away with their hands while sniffling, Yuffie, Popple, Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator suddenly got surprised calmly, seeing Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack starting to feel better. Satsuki then pulled a light blue handkerchief out of her dress pocket and gently wiped Meowth's tears away from his eyes. Satsuki and Zelda then respectively pulled a mint green handkerchief and light green handkerchief out of their other dress pocket and skirt pocket and held them out to Quackerjack and Megavolt respectively while Wes pulled his handkerchief out)*

Satsuki: Here.

Zelda: Go ahead and blow.

*(Megavolt and Quackerjack calmly accepted the handkerchiefs and blew their noses on them while Wes blew his nose on his handkerchief. Afterwards, they wiped the last of their tears away from their own eyes with them and then Megavolt and Quackerjack were about to hand the handkerchiefs they have back to Satsuki and Zelda while Wes continued to wipe his tears away and even his nose with his handkerchief while Satsuki finished wiping Meowth's tears away with her light blue handkerchief, but Satsuki and Zelda stopped the two politely)*

Zelda: (Smiles) No, it's alright actually, you keep them. You need them more than us.

Satsuki: (Smiles while giving a nod in agreement, showing her light blue handkerchief) I have one to keep already, which I just used to cheer Meowth up.

*(Megavolt and Quackerjack smiled softly at the offer)*

Megavolt: Okay.

Quackerjack: That's very kind of you.

Megavolt and Quackerjack: Thanks.

*(Megavolt and Quackerjack then put their newly-acquired handkerchiefs in Megavolt's jumpsuit pocket and Quackerjack's pants pocket. Even Wes, upon finishing wiping the last of his tears away and then finishing wiping his nose clean with a sniffle, then composed himself calmly and puts his handkerchief away in his business suit pocket)*

Satsuki and Zelda: Feel better?

Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: (Slowly cheering up) Yeah....

*(They get up, feeling better already with Yuffie, who is happily cheered up already as well. Popple, Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator watched in surprise)*

Megavolt: I feel better already.

Quackerjack: Me too.

Meowth: Meowth three.

Wes: Me four.

Yuffie: (Casually happy) And me.

*(Then they went back to being happy again, with Yuffie back to being her snarky determined happy self)*

Megavolt: Let’s brave that trench...!

Meowth: And find mine, Megavolt, Yuffie, and Wes' lucky charms and Quackerjack's Mr. Banana Brain...!

Yuffie: Fight any potential monsters down there...!

Wes: And get to the other side!

Quackerjack: That we guarantee!

*(They walk away to find the way down. Popple, Jessie, James, Bushroot, and Liquidator then turned to Kiki's group in confusion while Satsuki puts her light blue handkerchief away in her dress pocket)*

Popple: Wow.

Bushroot: One minute they were depressed.

James: And then Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack cried their eyes out.

Liquidator: And now they’re happy again.

Jessie: Yeah.

*(They turned to Kiki, Satsuki, and Zelda)*

Liquidator: How were you able to do that?

Bushroot: Without upsetting them more?

Popple, Jessie, and James: Like they asked.

Zelda: I read on how to be a therapist in a book back in the tower, and it taught me how to be like that to people in distress like them.

Elise: She even practiced her therapizing techniques on me when we were coping on being grounded for trying to leave the tower once.

Zelda: (Nods) It's true. And she did the same thing for me as well.

Elise: Yep.

Satsuki: And Kiki and I also did it with Kanta after his grandfather passed away.

Kiki: That's right.

*(Kiki's Oz group looked at Kanta in surprise)*

Liquidator: Is that true?

James and Bushroot: Cross your heart?

Popple and Jessie: And hope to die?

*(Kanta nods)*

Kanta: Yeah, they did. And I'm all better from that loss by going through the Five Stages of Grief with her help because of it.

Liquidator: (To Kiki, Satsuki, Zelda, and Elise, impressed) Wow. You four are like professional psychiatrists, cheering them up. And I happen to agree from your experience, mostly Zelda and Elise's experience, that 8 out of 10 psychologists say that distressed patients come clean to therapists to heal their psychological pain by definitely having a good cry to get off their chests.

Kiki, Satsuki, Zelda, and Elise: (Happily flattered) Thank you.

Yuki, Jiji, and Sora's group: They know how to cheer people up.

*(Suddenly, Yuffie, Meowth, Wes, Megavolt, and Quackerjack called out to them)*

Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: Hey, guys! (palsies!)

Wes and Meowth: Come here!

Megavolt: We found the way down!

Yuffie: Right here!

*(They went over to them and saw a staircase leading down to the trench. Kiki's group became impressed)*

Liquidator: Good job, you guys.

Popple: Good eyes even.

Bushroot: Not bad.

Jessie: I'll say.

*(Kiki's group piped their congrats as well)*

Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: Thanks.

*(They then walked down cautiously, entering the trench. They looked around carefully, avoiding strange-looking coral and jumped across streams. Suddenly, they see a dragonfly fly by and suddenly a tongue of an eel snatched the dragonfly into its mouth and ate it, much to their discomfort)*

Tiger: Um, maybe we should’ve not lost Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, and Megavolt’s charms and Quackerjack's doll and fly across instead.

*(He chuckles nervously a bit)*

Fievel: Don’t be scared, Tiger. We’ll find them and get out of here.

*(Realizing Fievel’s right, Tiger then took a deep breath and Kiki's group continued on. Then they come upon a quiet, safe-looking forested area in amazement, full of bioluminescent lights)*

Kiki's group: (Calmly amazed) Wow....

Kairi: It's so beautiful....

Aryll: (Nods to Kiki's group while Link and Christopher nod in agreement) And rest assured, these bioluminescent forested areas down here are the safe zones.

*(Kiki's group, still amazed, got relieved calmly)*

Tombo: That's good.

Elise: Who would've guessed that this forested area in the trench is beautiful?

*(Suddenly, after Link stepped on a nearby bioluminescent vine, it sprung to life and entangled him and even Zelda up after he bumped into her while getting sprung up and entangled)*

Zelda: Okay, this is pretty awkward....

*(Then the two tried to free themselves with Kiki's group's help, especially with magic and even Sora's group and Christopher's Keyblades, but nothing seems to break or rip the bioluminescent vine as Link and Zelda got entangled even more)*

Kiki's group except Link and Zelda: (Sheepishly) Sorry.

Link: It's like this vine's indestructible.

Zelda: I'll say.

Bushroot: Even my plant powers can't make it let you go.

*(Suddenly, a male flying bug flew in. He is a very small and slender male Cajun firefly with light olive green skin, an olive green chest, stomach, and toes, holes on his clear olive green dragonfly-like wings, short red string-like hair, very few white teeth, a Cajun accent, and a glowing yellow rear end, which is now off)*

Male Cajun firefly: Coo, well, lookee here! Hoo, girl, I guess you and your boyfriend got a little carried away, am I right, am I right?

*(Link and Zelda looked at each other, blushing)*

Link: Oh! Uh, actually, you're mistaken.

Zelda: He's not my boyfriend, we're just friends.

B.E.N.: Who are in a tangled up situation.

Kiki: And we're trying to free them.

Bushroot: We tried to cut it, rip it, burn it, but nothing works.

Riku: Maybe you could be of assistance?

Xion: Please?

*(The male Cajun firefly, seeing that they need help upon looking at Link and Zelda's entangled bodies closely, happily agreed)*

Male Cajun firefly: Uh-huh! Let me shine a little light on the situation.

*(He tries to light up his body since he is a firefly. He accidentally breaks a little light wind)*

Male Cajun firefly: 'Scuse me. One more time now.

*(The Male Cajun firefly tries the second time by shaking his bottom, which successfully lights up like a bulb, but turns off, making him frown in chagrin. He tries rubbing it like a bulb to make it work, which it does, much to his happiness)*

Male Cajun firefly: (To himself) Oooh, that's more better, yeah! *(To Zelda, who flinches back a bit as he flew up to her and Link)* Oh, it's okay, *Cher*, I don't explode me. I ain’t no firecracker! I just got my big butt glowin'! That's right! Oh, women like a man with a *(Proudly pats his butt a bit)* big fat porch!

*(The male Cajun firefly then examines the bioluminescent vine entangling Link and Zelda)*

Male Cajun firefly: (Tsks a bit) Lord, you done this up real good, for sure. *(Observes the bioluminescent vine's loose end he picked up)* Now where this go to at? Hang on, Caps and *Chers*. I'm just going to give a little twist here. We're getting to know each other now!

*(He chuckles a bit and goes in the entanglement of the bioluminescent vine to find the solution by following its loose end, before glowing like a disco ball from within as Kiki's group watched. The male Cajun firefly then sings a bit)*

Male Cajun firefly: **Won't ya catch a fish?**

**Catch one, catch two....**

*(The male Cajun firefly then comes out with the untwisted bioluminescent vine)*

Male Cajun firefly: **We're back in the bayou**

**'Round fishin' time**

*(He pulled the bioluminescent vine really hard and it got untied, freeing Link and Zelda, much to their and Kiki's group's amazement)*

Male Cajun firefly: 'Bout time I introduce myself.

*(The male Cajun firefly then spelled “Raymond” with his lit rear)*

Male Cajun firefly: My name Raymond, but everybody call me "Ray."

*(He shortens “Raymond” into “Ray,” thus revealing himself to be named Ray, and then disintegrated “Ray”)*

Tombo: Say, uh, Ray, your accent sounds kinda....

Lea: Well, funny.

Aryll: Yeah.

Ray: (Shrugs happily) Well, I’m a Cajun, brahs and Little *Cher*. Born and bred in the Bayou of Oz. *(Then he looks at Kiki's Kansas group)* Y’all must be new around here, huh?

Mei: Well, yeah.

Kiki: (Gestures to her Kansas group and herself) Me, Tombo, Satsuki, Mei, Kanta, Yuki, and Jiji here are from another world.

Ray: Go to bed! Y'all from Quadling Country?

Tombo: Actually, no. We're literally from another world.

Kanta: That's true.

Jiji: From a place called Topeka, Kansas.

Yuki: Which is the real world.

Satsuki: Very different from Oz here.

Ray: (Interested) Really? And why y'all down here anywho?

Kiki: We're on our way to Emerald City to ask the Wizard of Oz to help....

Ray: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Y'all goin' to Emerald City to see the Wizard of Oz?

Kiki: Yes.

Ray: (Guessing) And I'm guessin' that y'all have dreams, right?

Kiki's group: (Nods happily) Yes!

Jiminy: Good guess.

Ray: Well, y'all ain't the only ones who have dreams. I have a dream myself. And that is to be with my gal named Evangeline again.

*(Kiki's group got confused, yet interested)*

Kiki's group: (Interested) Really?

Pinocchio: Who's Evangeline?

Ray: My lover, the most beautiful firefly that I meet up with at night. *(Squeals happily a bit)* And I know deep within my heart, *(He illuminates a nearby heart-shaped leaf from behind it after calmly flying behind it)* We gonna be together forever.

*(Kiki's group smiled softly, liking Ray's dream)*

Yuffie: (Smiling softly, feeling calmly touched) Aw, how romantic.

*(Even Cri-Kee is smiling softly, calmly touched by Ray's dream. Then they changed the subject as Ray flew out from behind the leaf)*

Ray: Anywho, onto business.

Kiki's group: Yeah.

Mushu: First, what we're doing down here trying to find *(Gestures to Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack)* our five friends' lost items here.

*(Realizing what he means, Ray understood)*

Ray: (To Mushu) Ah, a little detour. *(To Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack)* What did y'all lose?

Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, and Megavolt: My charms.

Quackerjack: And my Mr. Banana Brain doll.

Ray: Four charms and a Mr. Banana Brain doll?

*(The five nods. Then Ray, after he pondered, realized what they mean and explained away)*

Ray: You know, come to think of it, I did see five small items that y'all describin' fall down here from above and just when I was gonna pick them up, Tamatoa appear out of nowhere and....

Kiki's Oz group: Tamatoa?!

Kiki's Kansas group: Did he grab them?

Ray: Yeah. He just came out of nowhere, grabbed them, seeing 'em as some fine new beautiful shiny collection and took 'em to his lair.

Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: (In annoyance) Oh, great!

Wes: Then we have to go there and get them back from him.

Meowth: (To Wes) Exactly.

Kiki: (To Ray) Could you guide us to his lair?

Ray: (Nods) Oh, yeah. My kin and I can help. Anything to help y'all with your five friends' lost items predicament.

*(Then he whistles to his Cajun firefly brethren and the nearby bioluminescent trees glowed by the Cajun fireflies’ rears, much to Kiki's group’s amazement)*

Ray: Me and my relationals will help show y'all the way.

*(Then Ray gathered up to his brethren)*

Ray: Hey, Cousin Randy! You ready for a little forested trench Zydeco?

Randy: Ready when you are, Cousin Ray!

*(Then Ray ushered the others as the Cajun fireflies started playing music)*

Ray: All right, Lulu. Let’s get to it, darlin’.

*(He goes up to Kiki's group, who slowly started to follow)*

Ray: Come on, y’all! Just follow the bouncin’ butt!

*(Then he starts singing as Kiki's group followed)*

Ray: **We gonna take you there**

**We gonna take you there**

**We gonna take you all the way there**

**We gonna take you there**

**We gonna take you there**

**We gonna take you all the way**

**Goin’ down the forest**

**Goin’ down the forest**

**Goin’ down the forest**

**Takin’ you all the way**

*(Then he introduced some of his family members)*

Ray: We got the whole family! There goes Mimi, Cousin Boudreau!

*(He noticed an old female Cajun firefly without her light on)*

Ray: Oh, Grandmama! Your light off!

*(Hearing him in realization, she claps twice and her light came on and then Ray resumed singing)*

Ray: **We all gonna pull together**

**Down here, that’s how we do it**

**Me for them, and them for me**

**We all be there for you**

**We gonna take ya**

**We gonna take ya**

**We gonna take ya all the way there**

**We know where you goin’**

**And we goin’ with you**

**Takin’ you all the way**

**Goin’ down the forest**

**Goin’ down the forest**

**Goin’ down the forest**

**Takin’ you allllll….**

*(Then he exclaimed happily as the song slowly ended)*

Ray: Yeah, you know! Come on, y’all! Keep that life flowin’, and the lights a-glowin’!

*(Then with that, they continued their way. Then they later arrived at the forested area's exit and Ray flew up to Kiki's group)*

Ray: If it be okay with y'all, may I be assistin' y'all to Emerald City, for my dream?

*(Even Ray's family and friends happily clamored in agreement. Kiki's group thought it over and after giving a happy shrug at each other, they agreed)*

Kiki's group: Sure.

Ray: (Happily) Ooh-whee! I'm goin' to Emerald City for Evangeline!

*(Then Kiki's group, including the newly-recruited Ray, bidded the Cajun fireflies goodbye as the Cajun fireflies left to the trench's exit. Then with that, Kiki's group and Ray got determined happily)*

Kiki: Well, to Oz?

Kiki's group and Ray: To Oz!

*(Then they sang away as they trekked through the path, happily avoiding some dangerous obstacles such as geysers and even bioluminescent predatory creatures that resembles undersea creatures in an ocean trench)*

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**

*(Later, as they continued their way carefully, with Ray leading Kiki's group to the direction of this Tamatoa's lair, they suddenly, they noticed a ball of light floating in the air and approached it carefully)*

Kiki’s group: Whoa….

Yuki: It’s so…. Pretty.

Bushroot: I feel…. Happy.

*(Jiji, B.E.N., and Ray reached their paw and own index fingers towards the ball of light)*

B.E.N.: I want to touch it.

Jiji: Me too, B.E.N..

Ray: And me.

*(Suddenly, they touched it and the light moved a few inches. Suddenly, it started to move slowly away from them and Kiki's group playfully followed it slowly)*

Yuki: We’re gonna get ya!

Yuffie and Popple: Hey, come back here.

Jiji: We’re gonna get ya!

Mushu and Molly: (Sing-song) I wanna be your best friend.

*(The light suddenly stopped and they caught up with it. At first, they didn’t notice some menacing sharp teeth silently curling its lips at them. They giggled and/or chuckled a bit at the light at first, but then they stopped when they noticed the teeth upon hearing a quiet growl and got calmly concerned immediately)*

Bushroot: Good feelings are gone.

*(Suddenly, the body where the lips came from lit up by the light, revealing itself to be a giant flying, yet blind, angler fish. Kiki's group screamed a bit and quickly ran away just when the angler fish bit at them. They ran as quick as they can, when they see something in the distance)*

Satsuki: What is that?

Link: That must be Tamatoa’s place!

Ray: (Realizes upon seeing it) Yep! That be the lair!

*(Getting it, Kiki's group quickly ran and secretly took shelter in Tamatoa’s lair, which is a giant clamshell, causing the angler fish to search around clueless like due to being blind and then fly away. The coast all clear, Kiki's group sighed in relief and noticed a huge pile of gold and treasure in the clamshell)*

***Coming up: Kiki’s group awakens Tamatoa while getting Yuffie, Wes, Meowth, and Megavolt’s lucky charms and Quackerjack's Mr. Banana Brain doll back as part of a distraction and just when Kiki nearly gets eaten, she rescues herself with her group's help and escape, when they realize they made a mistake, accidentally forgetting their certain smaller animal companions in the form of Yuki, Jiji, Mushu, Cri-Kee, and the Dream Eater pets.***
