Why Think More About Yourselves/Following the Gift Strings (Sheeta Version)

*(Back at the party, the guests are enjoying themselves. Suddenly, a dance maestro came on the stage and made his announcement)*

Dance maestro: Good evening, everyone.

Guests: Hello, sir.

Dance maestro: I'd like to announce that before we get on with the gift giving festivities and then the dance festivities, I would like to announce to have a parent/child dance to start at once. Professor Kirke's orders.

*(After a brief happy applause, the guests then had the parents and their children dance together. While preparing to dance together in a calm reluctant way, Sheeta, Olivia, Pocahontas, and even Sparrowhawk got calmly sad and concerned, much to their family and friends' notice. Then Sheeta and Sparrowhawk reluctantly took each other's hands to get ready to dance. Then as soon as they were about to start, they got calmly sad and then suddenly broke apart from their grips, causing Sheeta to accidentally bump into a snobby-looking rich man nearby, interrupting his dance)*

Snobby rich man: (Scoffs) What gave you the right to bump into me and stop dancing suddenly?

*(Sheeta got apologetic)*

Sheeta: Sorry, I just....

*(Then the snobby rich man recognized her and Sparrowhawk)*

Snobby rich man: Oh, wait. You, the daughter of a desert-dwelling wizard, just lost your mother recently.

*(Feeling hesitant, Sheeta, along with Olivia and Pocahontas, started to become hurt as he continued. Even seeing this, their family and friends got calmly concerned, that even Surge and Sparrowhawk started to get calmly angry at this)*

Snobby rich man: Now, answer me this; Why won't you dance?

Pocahontas: We just hesitated.

Olivia: I mean, we just buried her, and we....

Snobby rich man: (Scoffs) Excuses, excuses, excuses. Just because she's dead, doesn't mean that you can't dance. So, answer this question; Why think more about yourselves than others?

*(Calmly reacting to that hurtful question, like a bunch of hammers hitting their chests, Sheeta, Olivia, and Pocahontas got calmly sad and hurt. Then the snobby rich man almost berated them again)*

Snobby rich man: Exactly. Now, if you excuse me, I suggest you get back to dancing, or else....

*(Suddenly, Surge and Sparrowhawk came up to him in calm anger, making him surprised and quiet finally)*

Surge and Sparrowhawk: (To the snobby rich man in calm anger) That is enough!

*(They and the rest of the family members and friends then turned to the calm upset Sheeta, Olivia, and Pocahontas in calm concern)*

Ash: Are you three alright?

*(Then Sheeta, Olivia, and Pocahontas ran out of the room. Sparrowhawk then gestured to Jenny's group, Sosuke, and Ponyo to go comfort the three, to which they nod and then ran after the three while Sparrowhawk stayed behind. Out at the garden's gazebo, Sheeta, Olivia,and Pocahontas arrived and were calmly and silently crying a bit. Then they stopped when they saw Jenny's group, Sosuke, and Ponyo arrive)*

Jenny's group, Sosuke, and Ponyo: Hey.

*(Sheeta, Olivia, and Pocahontas composed themselves calmly and wiped their tears away)*

Sheeta: (Composing herself) Oh, hi guys.

Olivia: (Composing herself) I take it you came to make us better?

Pocahontas: (Composing herself) We didn't expect that to happen.

Jenny: It's alright, girls.

Surge: If it'll make you feel better, we didn't expect that either.

Misty: (Starting to feel angry in agreement) I know! The nerve of that man to say those things...!

Serena: (Calming Misty) It was totally uncalled for.

*(Sheeta, Olivia, and Pocahontas smiled sadly a bit)*

Sheeta, Olivia, and Pocahontas: (Agreeing) Yes....

*(Suddenly, they heard trumpets playing at another stage in the mansion. They immediately realized)*

Sheeta's group: Gift time.

*(Then they ran into the other theater's room. Once there, the guests soon saw Kirke appear on the stage like magic and then make his announcement happily)*

Kirke: Ladies and gentlemen.... My favorite part of Christmas..., My favorite part of this evening.... I present to you.... Your gifts!

*(The guests cheered and applauded)*

Kirke: And you know the rules; While the adults go to the living room to find their gifts, the children shall find their gifts at the end of their own string all across the mansion. Each string belonging to them, will have their name tag on each of them.

*(Another applause and cheers erupted a bit)*

Kirke: Now, are you ready?

*(The guests, including Sheeta's group, prepared themselves happily)*

Kirke: Set.... Go to your gifts!

*(Then the adult guests ran to the living room to find their gifts while the children, among them Sheeta's group, arrive at their start of the gift strings at a different gazebo in the garden. As they look for their names, Sheeta's group studied each gift string carefully. Then, sure enough, Sosuke, Ponyo, Jenny's group, and Cookie found their own gift strings with their full names on the tags, with Jenny's group being the shared gift string. Then they followed them. As Sheeta, Olivia, and Pocahontas continued their search for their gift strings, or a shared gift string, they felt a brief chill from the cold winter air in the garden)*

Olivia: (Shivers a bit) No wonder winter is so cold....

Sheeta: You said it.

*(Suddenly, Sosuke, Ponyo, Jenny's group, and Cookie returned with their gifts, with Ponyo wearing her backpack now; Ponyo received a nutcracker soldier doll, Sosuke a slingshot, the female human and Pokemon in Jenny's group their own special necklaces, the male human and Pokemon in Jenny's group their own digital watches, and Cookie a new red ribbon collar for him to wear for Christmas, and they were very happy with the gifts. Even Sheeta, Olivia, and Pocahontas were amazed by those gifts)*

Sheeta: Wow, those gifts are great!

Olivia: Even a slingshot?

Pocahontas: But didn't they say you'll hurt someone on that?

Sosuke: They did, but they corrected the errors for that.

Max: So, in other words, our eyes are safe from now on.

Pocahontas: (Happily) Well, what a relief!

*(Then they resumed their search for Sheeta, Olivia, and Pocahontas's gift strings. Then sure enough, they found a yellow gift string, with Sheeta, Olivia, and Pocahontas's full names shared together)*

Olivia: Found it.

*(Then they followed it, with Sosuke, Ponyo, Jenny's group, and Cookie accompanying them. They soon entered another room with a staircase leading to the attic, and then followed the gift string up to the attic. Upon arrival, they soon noticed the gift string leading towards a dark-looking area they never noticed)*

Sosuke: Odd....

Serena: None of us ever seen that area before....

*(Getting calmly determined, Sheeta's group then cautiously followed the gift string into the dark area, and sure enough, it slowly lit up, revealing the walls with red wallpaper, with black imagery of owls, slowly turning into black imagery of mice, much to their curiosity. Then after turning a corner to the gift string's direction, Sheeta's group suddenly noticed a bright white light at the end of the path with the gift string leading into it. Getting calmly determined even more, they slowly approached the light, unaware of what they'll encounter next....)*

***Coming up: Sheeta's group find themselves in a strange, yet magical, new world, thanks to Sheeta, Olivia, and Pocahontas's gift string that'll immediately lead them and their group to the three's gift. But soon enough, three mischievous Pokemon snatch the gift away for some reason and while pursuing them, Sheeta's group will soon meet three new friends at a bridge leading to another seemingly dangerous area in the new world.***
