Pepe's Proposal/Blossom, Brick, Flik, Foghorn, Smarty, Daffy, and Atta Rescue Rev

*(Later, while the remaining Team Fantasy members were enjoying themselves softly such as reading and eating dinner in the form of pork roast (With Foghorn having his feathers again and Bia wearing a white dress with a yellow crescent moon symbol on the white bow, gold earrings, white shoes, and a pair of fairy-like wings on the back of her dress, similar to Serena’s white dress and shoes from “Sailor Moon”), Smarty was talking with Jack and Sally about his suspicions of Oogie)*

Sally: I know Oogie can appear, well, somewhat secretive, but I somewhat believe that maybe he just didn’t want to be, *(Struggles to think of something to say)* well….

Jack: (Guessing) Under suspicion?

Sally: Exactly.

Jack: But the question is, why? I mean, if you recall, he just walked away when Daffy almost died, only to show up again when he woke up.

Sally: I don’t know, Jack, but all I can say is that I will support your suspicions either way, whether it’s true or not.

*(They smiled softly at each other, and Jack gently took Sally’s hand)*

Jack: Thank you, Sally.

*(Sally nods a “You’re welcome.” Then a knock on the door was heard, getting everyone’s attention)*

Pepe: (Voice-over) Hello? Is Mademoiselle Bia inside?

Sally: Yes, why?

Oogie: (Voice-over) Pepe wishes to talk to her.

*(Confused, the remaining Team Fantasy members shrugged calmly)*

Jack: I guess you can come in.

*(Jessie opened the door and Pepe and Oogie came inside)*

Bia: You wanted to see me? What is it?

*(Pepe blushed a bit)*

Pepe: Well…. What you did for your friend before… I’ve never seen any miracle revival like that before.

*(Outside, Penelope, calmly sad over something, listened to the conversation)*

Pepe: (Voice-over) And, well…. I think that your singing is wonderful, no?

*(Inside, Bia shrugged)*

Bia: Yeah, but what’s your point?

Pepe: The point is….

*(He sighs)*

Pepe: How can I say it…?

*(He explained away)*

Pepe: It’s that you are a beautiful girl. Never let anybody tell you differently.

Bia: I guess. Like, well, “the Ugly Duckling.”

*(Oogie silently ushered Pepe to continue)*

Pepe: Anyway, I want to tell you that I…. Well…. I like you.

*(Bia got calmly surprised)*

Bia: Like me? Are you saying…?

*(Pepe puffed up and asked away)*

Pepe: Bia, will you marry me?

*(Sally’s group and the remaining Team Fantasy members got surprised at the questions. Even Bia was shocked. But Pepe reassured her)*

Dot: Marry each other?

Bia: Well….

Pepe: I understand that your heart is broken still, but I can make a good husband if you agree. And besides, we’ll take care of each other, no?

*(A short pause, then Pepe nods in an understanding way)*

Pepe: Well, I’ll let you think it over. Before we make wedding plans.

*(Then with that, the French skunk left with Penelope following him. It turned out Penelope is calmly sad because Pepe, her master she fell in love with, has fallen in love with Bia, despite Bia and Pepe not knowing each other more. Back in the house, Oogie turned to Bia)*

Oogie: Oh, you’ll like Pepe. He might not be that roadrunner prince you fell in love with, but he will make a great substitute.

*(Even Jessie agreed, much to Sally’s group’s calm surprise)*

Jessie: Yeah. It doesn’t matter whether they’re rich or poor. Love takes time.

Sally: (Trying to intervene) Now, Jessie….

*(But Bia spoke up)*

Bia: But I don’t even know him more. And I don’t love him. And how can I enjoy myself underground away from the sun?

*(Oogie chuckles casually)*

Oogie: I may hate the sun, but you can still do….

*(He then starts singing)*

Oogie: **Anything**

**As long as it’s not sunless**

**Everything**

**As long as it isn’t boring for you**

**So, don’t say there’s nothing**

**To do underground**

**Don’t say we hide**

**Away the sun**

**You won’t, no**

**Just dawdle a bit**

**And then**

**Enjoy the sun a while**

**And dawdle again**

**Then gather your complexion**

**To start anew**

**On all of the darkness**

**And stuffiness**

**You still have to deal with**

**So, don’t say there’s nothing**

**To do underground**

**It’s just not true**

*(After Oogie finished, Bia shrugged)*

Bia: Well, since you said it’s okay to be with the sun at times…. I’ll still think over the proposal.

Oogie: Understood.

Jessie: Okay.

*(Then they and Jessie sang)*

Bia, Jessie, and Oogie: **Don’t say there’s nothing**

**To do underground**

**Don’t say we hide**

**Away the sun**

**You won’t, no**

**Just dawdle a bit**

**And then**

**Enjoy the sun a while**

**And dawdle again**

**Then gather your complexion**

**To start anew**

**On all of the darkness**

**And stuffiness**

**You still have to deal with**

**So, don’t say there’s nothing**

**To do underground**

**It’s just not true**

*(During the song, the remaining Team Fantasy members were just silently and calmly stunned at Bia taking advice from Oogie while Sally’s group just shook their heads a bit, annoyed by the fact that Oogie’s rushing Bia’s thinking over the proposal. Then after the song ended, Oogie spoke up)*

Oogie: Like we agreed, you can think it over.

*(Bia nods and then walked outside to look at the small hole unveiling the clear night sky showing the stars. Oogie then turned to Sally’s group)*

Oogie: Well, I gotta go now. Just a few errands to run at home.

Sally: Okay.

James: Don’t overwork.

*(Oogie nods and then he left. Sally’s group started to leave as well)*

Sally: Well, speaking of going now, we have to go shopping for groceries.

Meowth: Could you guys stay here and keep the house occupied?

James: Just until we return.

Remaining Team Fantasy members: Okay.

Jack: I'll stay home.

Sally: Are you sure, Jack?

Jack: I'm sure.

Sally: Well, okay.

*(They kiss. Then with that, Sally’s group left. Once alone, the remaining Team Fantasy members went outside and saw Bia still seated, with her back at the starry sky’s direction)*

Jack: Bia?

Smarty: You’re not seriously gonna think about it, right?

Bia: Well, what other choice do I have, guys? Even though Rev is dead, I’ll always love him, even *if* I do get married to Pepe. Even when I’m allowed to enjoy the sun at times.

Francis: You can’t be serious.

Slim: Aw, come on.

Heimlich: Before you decide to take advice from Oogie, you should heed our advices.

*(Bia sighed sadly)*

Bia: Well, I don’t think we can accomplish anything impossible. First Rev is dead, then our other friends get kidnapped and vanished, and now, we have no hope in saving the Fairy Kingdom and the world.

*(Shocked at what Bia said, the remaining Team Fantasy members remained silent. Then they, except, Foghorn, Daffy, Smarty, Heimlich, and Jack, walked away back into the house as Sonic and Knuckles spoke up)*

Sonic: Well, if that’s how you want it….

Knuckles: It’s your call.

*(Then after the remaining Team Fantasy members not staying outside went back inside, Foghorn and Daffy spoke up)*

Foghorn: Aw, come on, gal. Whatever happened to my song motto? Follow your heart and nothing’s impossible?

Jack: You said you’d treasure that advice, along with making a big difference no matter how small you are.

*(Bia sadly tensed a bit)*

Smarty: And you taught me to believe that nothing’s impossible.

*(Bia lash out at them in sadness)*

Bia: Stop torturing me! This is reality! I can’t overcome impossible things and make big differences!

*(She sighed sadly as she calmed herself, feeling sorry for lashing out)*

Bia: Sorry for snapping. But just open your eyes and be practical. There’s no hope anymore. And you were right, Smarty. Accomplishing impossible things *is* nothing but a child’s dream.

*(Then with that, she walked inside and closed the door, leaving Foghorn, Daffy, Smarty, Heimlich and Jack outside, alone and silent, with the two formers tearing up and the three latters just calmly shocked, hurt by their snapping. They then looked at each other)*

Foghorn: (Tearfully) She has just speaking through a broken heart. That’s all that is.

Daffy: (Tearfully) And we can tell she didn’t mean to lash out at us.

*(They wiped their tears away and composed themselves as Smarty, Heimlich, and Jack snapped out of their shocked looks)*

Smarty: I know I said it was a child’s dream before, but that was back when I thought it was impossible. So, she’s the one who’s right, and I was wrong about it.

Jack: What can we do to cheer Bia up?

Heimlich: *Ja*, How?

*(Suddenly, they notice Oogie, who didn’t notice them, walking by towards the tunnel’s exit. After hiding themselves, the four watched Oogie, upon reaching the way to the exit, look around cautiously, and then, to their surprise, he smiled evilly and climbed out to the exit. Surprise turning to suspicion, they got determined)*

Smarty: What is he up to now?

Jack: Probably something not good.

Daffy: Something bad.

*(Then they secretly follow Oogie outside. After walking through the snowy fields outside the tunnel, they secretly discover Oogie entering the Kingdom of Darkness and into its castle. Suspicious, the five snuck inside the castle and without getting caught, snuck by some shadow guards. Silently, they peeked from the hidden hallway’s peeking hole and saw the throne room and in there, Oogie is talking to Yami and his army like old friends)*

Yami: And Bia literally said that to her friends?

Oogie: (Chuckles evilly) Yes. And it’s a shame they won’t be able to know the real truth about the roadrunner prince being held captive here for eight weeks, your majesty.

Shere Khan: Indeed!

Vanessa: And once day two of Spring comes, she’ll be consumed by the darkness from her broken heart.

Grand Duke of Owls: And with her on our side, we’ll steal back the Elemental Stone and bring her here.

Drake: And with that darkness, Bia will be my wife and rule both the Fairy Kingdom and the world. And what’s not to like about the girl possessed by her own darkness on Spring’s second day?

Warren T. Rat: All because of our avalanche trap and spreading the lies with Oogie’s help. And he is our best spy from underground ever.

Cat R. Waul: And this is gonna be the ultimate dark wedding the Fairy Kingdom and the world will never forget!

Oogie: And the money I was promised?

Yami: Here you are.

*(He gives Oogie some reward money for his help in the form of ten gold coins)*

Oogie: Thank you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must attend to my, own matters, back home, just to not raise suspicions.

Yami: As you wish.

*(Then with that, Oogie left for the tunnel. Once he's gone, the Nerdlucks turned to the villains eagerly)*

Nerdlucks: What about us?! Reward us!

Yami: (Calmly happy) Oh, my faithful henchmen.... You are.... *(Calmly angry)* Pathetic fools!

Swackhammer: You served your purpose, now scram!

*(The Nerdlucks got confused and shocked)*

Pound: But I thought you like us?

Brer Fox: "Like you?" Bah! That was a sham!

Grand Duke: You are nothing to us but weaklings, especially in your weak Monstar forms!

Hunch: You are gonna have total and complete *(Chuckles)* annihilation!

Valon: After we marry Drake and Bia on the second day of Spring and execute that prince!

Vanessa: You are so gone when that's over with!

Swackhammer: Last assignment, guard that prince!

Drake: And after that....

Villains: YOU'RE FIRED!!

*(They beat up the Nerdlucks unexpectantly. After that's done, the Nerdlucks recovered, looking shocked and sad. Then they walked away in shame to go to the dungeon. Back in the hallway still hidden, Smarty, Jack, Heimlich, Daffy, and Foghorn got angry and determined)*

Smarty: (Whispering) So, that’s why Oogie walked away on Daffy before!

Daffy: (Whispering) And all the nice things said about him is baloney! He's desssspicable!

Foghorn: (Whispering) My senti, I say, my sentiments exactly!

Heimlich: (Whispering) That monster!

Jack: (Whispering) I knew something suspicious is going on with him!

*(They sneak through the hallways until they located the dungeon. They tried opening the door, but it was locked. They looked up and saw the keyholder empty)*

Daffy: (Whispering) Drat! No key!

Smarty: (Whispering) How can we get in the dungeon now?

*(Suddenly, a flame hits the lock on the door and broke it, making the door open. They turned and saw, to their happiness….)*

Smarty: (Whispering) Boys!

Heimlich: (Whispering) Blossom, Brick, Flik, and Atta!

Foghorn: (Whispering) And even Cadence, Shining Armor, Red, and the vultures!

*(They run up and hugged happily. After that ended, they began explanations)*

Flik: (Whispering) Boy, are we glad to see you!

Heimlich: (Whispering) What exactly happened?

Brick: (Whispering) Yami and his men found us and not only captured and brought Rev here, but also buried me, Blossom, Flik, and Atta alive in the snow. We thought we were goners.

Blossom: (Whispering) But thankfully, Judy found us still alive under that snow and after the rescue, Judy healed Rudy and our colds with her magic healing soup.

Atta: (Whispering) That’s right.

Greasy: (Whispering) And we even warmed up the four from the cold.

Smarty: (Whispering) But how did Cadence, Shining Armor, and the vultures become involved?

Cadence: (Whispering) Glad you asked.

Shining Armor: (Whispering) After the circus bugs escaped the avalanche the villains made, Cadence and I decided to come help you upon them arriving and telling us.

Ziggy: (Whispering) And us.

Buzzy: (Whispering) So, we all met up near the Kingdom of Darkness eight weeks later upon learning of Rev’s capture.

Foghorn: (Whispering in realization and joy) Ah, so you want to help us in order, I say, in order to return the favor for all the help we’ve made for you.

Cadence, Shining Armor, Red, and the vultures: (Whispering) Exactly.

Smarty: (Whispering) Well, come on. Let’s save the roadrunner prince!

Daffy: (Whispering) Or else it’s too late!

*(They nod and ran downstairs in the dungeon. Upon reaching the bottom, they find Rev, now untied and ungagged, sleeping in his locked cage. They go up to the cage and Foghorn got his attention)*

Foghorn: (Whispering) Psst! Rev! Wake up!

*(Rev woke up slowly and got happy upon seeing his friends)*

Rev: (Whispering) Guys! You came finally!

Daffy: (Whispering) Sorry for keeping you waiting, but we were sidetracked.

Foghorn: (Whispering) We’ll explain on the way to our other friends.

Smarty: (Whispering) But first, let’s bust you out!

*(Cadence and Shining Armor casted a blast spell on the cage’s lock and it broke. Once the cage opened, Rev attempted to run out, but something stopped him)*

Rev: (Whispering) Shoot! I forgot I'm shackled!

*(Blossom and Brick tried to break it with their lasers, but nothing)*

Brick: (Whispering) It won't break!

Blossom: (Whispering) How are we gonna free you now?

Pound: (Voice-over) Us.

*(They turned and saw to their shock the Nerdlucks looking timid and sad, apparently from the double-cross earlier. Then Bang pulled the key out and unlocked Rev's shackles, freeing him completely, much to the heroes' surprise)*

Brick: Wow....

Blossom: Thanks.

Rev: One minute you're the enemy, and now you're helping. Why?

Pound: (Sighs sadly) Let's say we were double-crossed and about to be fired.

Nerdlucks: Yeah.

Blanko: Total bummer.

*(Thinking it over upon hearing them say that, the heroes nods and spoke up)*

Brick: Well, we ain't like those villainous jerks you used to work for!

Jack: That's right.

Flik: And seeing how you five helped us....

Atta: We decided maybe you could join us instead.

*(Flattered, the Nerdlucks thought it over and liked that idea)*

Nerdlucks: Sure.

Blossom: Anyway, what other things do you like?

*(Nawt thinks it over and then explained)*

Nawt: I like butterflies with big golden wings, and blue and green tips.

*(Blossom and Brick got surprised and happy)*

Blossom and Brick: Me too!

Blanko: I like swiss cheese ice cream.

*(Flik and Atta got surprised and happy on that as well)*

Atta: Me too!

Bang: Wow, you too?

*(Bupkus got thoughtful again)*

Bupkus: Wait, wait, wait!

*(Bang turned to Blossom)*

Bang: What’s your favorite book?

Blossom: J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan.

*(The Nerdlucks/Monstars brightened up at that answer)*

Nerdlucks: Wow, me too!

*(They giggle a bit and then Bang starts singing)*

Bang: **I can tell**

**We’ve got an awful lot**

**In common**

**Even though**

**We look as different as can be**

*(Then the others joined in)*

Blanko: **We don’t even have to try**

**To see things eye to eye**

Blossom: **It just comes to us, naturally**

Brick: **Come to think of it**

**I think we fit together**

Bupkus: **Playing enemies**

**Won’t get us very far**

Pound: **There’s no need to feud and fuss**

Nawt: **When it isn’t really us**

**Let’s you and us**

**Be who we are**

*(As the Nerdlucks stepped back, Team Fantasy and Nerdlucks then danced around)*

Nerdlucks: **We’re a team-o**

**A team-o**

**A group of misfits**

**Who were meant to be a team**

**Oh, a team-o**

**It’s true-o**

**Wherever we go**

**We’re going us and you**

*(They resume just singing only)*

Nawt: **No matter what now**

**We’ve got one another**

Bupkus: **We’ll be there to pick each other**

**Off the floor**

Bang: **Anytime you’re feeling glum**

*(Feeling happy and confident, Flik joined in)*

Flik: **I’ll count on you**

**To be a chum**

Atta: **If you get an itch attack**

Blossom: **We’ll be there to scratch your back**

*(Rev, Flik, Atta, Blossom, and Brick then rubbed on Pound’s back gently like a tickle, much to his comfort)*

Pound: **Now, who could ever**

**Ask for mooooooore**

*(Pound then giggled at Rev, Flik, Brick, Atta, and Blossom tickling him)*

Pound: (Giggling) Oh stop, oh stop! No, don’t stop! More, more!

*(They stopped merrily then as they resumed singing and dancing)*

Blanko: **We’re friends**

Bang: **And that’s what friends**

**Are for**

*(Then the group and Rev sang and danced around)*

Good guys and Nerdlucks: **We’re a team-o**

**A team-o**

**A group of misfits**

**Who were meant to be a team**

**Oh, a team-o**

**It’s true-o**

**If we’re ever in a stew**

**We know we can**

**Make it through**

**‘Cuz you’ve got me**

**And I’ve got you**

*(They do the team hand pile)*

Good guys and Nerdlucks: Yes, sir!

*(After the song ended and just when they were gonna leave, Daffy accidentally triggered an alarm near the cage)*

Smarty: Uh-oh! Security’s gotten attracted!

*(Suddenly, Hunch arrived and got surprised)*

Hunch: You again?!

*(Back in the hallway, Yami and his army headed to the dungeon upon the alarm’s activation, only to find the door’s lock broken, making them suspicious. After the Grand Duke deactivates the alarm, they enter slowly and saw to their surprise, the good guys and Nerdlucks/Monstars gone and Hunch tied and gagged to the open cage. The villains angrily storm up to him)*

Valon: Where is the prince?!

Swackhammer: And the Nerdlucks we were gonna fire?!

*(Hunch screamed through the gag until the Grand Duke in anger and annoyance yanked the gag off Hunch’s mouth)*

Hunch: Ouch!

*(Then Valon cuts Hunch free and he collapsed on the ground)*

Hunch: Those four Team Fantasy member meddlers and some friends of theirs, they freed the prince! And that's not the worse part! The Nerdlucks/Monstars have betrayed us all!

*(Calmly shocked upon hearing him say that, Yami and his army got slowly angry)*

Yami: Those meddlers and traitors!

*(They rush out to go after the heroes and Nerdlucks/Monstars)*

***Coming up: Rev’s group and their friends, especially the Nerdlucks/Monstars return underground and explain both the truth and Oogie’s true colors to not only the other Team Fantasy members, which revive Bia’s confidence and belief in hopes and dreams, but also Sally's group and Pepe and Penelope, making them reconsider a planned future wedding for Bia and Pepe, especially when Penelope confesses her love to Pepe and the Nerdlucks/Monstars accept the offer to officially join Team Fantasy as a reward for redeeming themselves.***
