A Trip to Disney World
The Saga Continues!
It’s a Monday night, she’s tired and has been writing exams and studying all day.
Sapphire decides that she needs a break and she knows just where to go.
Dinobot: You’re not serious are you?
Elijah: You’ve got to be kidding me!
Megatron: Oh brother.
Orlando: Will Darkfire be there?!
Sapphire: Yes guys! It’s official; we’re all going to Disney World! And yes, Darkfire will be there, and so will Lady Venom, Solar Blaze and KewlGurlEC66!
Hayden Christensen: Which one of those girls wanted to meet me?
Sapphire: You’ll soon find out!
Hayden shivers. One moment he was in his house watching the Star Wars premiere on Celebrity News, the next moment he was here, in this strange house, with these strange people and this weird girl called Sapphire. He had asked her but never got a very clear answer as to why he was here. “Some friends of mine want to meet you,” was all she had said. He was, at first, terrified at all the metal creatures he saw (and he’d seen some pretty strange things on the set of Star Wars) but when Elijah Wood came up to him and reassured him that if he stayed away from the giant crab (who he’d yet to see) and didn’t irritate the metal velociraptor, he’d be just fine, he felt a tiny bit better. Mind you, it was a small comfort, because he wasn’t sure what Elijah Wood was doing there either, but he had decided to just let things carry themselves and hoped that he could leave very soon.
Alas, wishful thinking, Hayden. Wishful thinking…
Scene: Solar Blaze, Darkfire, Kewl Gurl and Lady Venom are waiting outside the entrance to Disney World. Solar Blaze is cringing every time she hears people screaming as they plummet down the roller coaster rides, Darkfire and Kewl Gurl are flirting with some guys hanging around outside and Lady Venom is trying to convince Rampage that the Space Mountain ride is not an ancient Autobot ship that is programmed to take him to Omicron.
Rattrap is lurking outside of the group and suddenly wails.
Rattrap: Oh no! Here she comes!
Sapphire grins as she arrives and eyes Rattrap’s head curiously.
Sapphire: Hey Rattrap, you got your brain replaced!
Rattrap: Real funny, Sapph.
Solar Blaze: Hey Sapphire! Glad you could make it. How’s studying?
Sapphire: Ugh. Wrote a history exam today that really stumped me. But oh well, what can I do about it now? Anyway, I brought you something.
Solar Blaze, Kewl, Lady Venom and Darkfire all look towards where she’s pointing and spot a very large present wrapped in a gold wrapping paper and tied with a classic red bow.
Kewl and Dark rush over to the parcel, rip open the paper, take off the lid and scream. Without even seeing the gift inside, Solar Blaze moans and shakes her head.
Out shoots Hayden, red faced and sweaty because he’s been cramped into a small box for the last half hour and Elijah and Orlando jump out looking much the same way.
Elijah: I almost died in there!
Orlando: You could have suffocated me!!
Hayden: Uh oh—
Dark and Kewl pounce on Hayden and kiss him and squeal. Hayden, between desperate attempts to get free asks Sapphire: “I presume these are the friends you wanted me to meet?”
Sapphire latches onto Elijah’s arm and nods.
Solar Blaze is busy talking to Rampage in the distance and looks irritated as she glances over at Dark and Kewl.
Solar Blaze: Would you mind hurrying up? Lady Venom is dying to get in!
Lady Venom: Ooh! Look at all the rides!
Rampage: You’re not getting me on that space thingy. Never ever.
Dark and Kewl get up, one on each side of Hayden and happily stagger over to Lady Venom and Solar Blaze. Sapphire walks arm in arm with a very hot and sweaty Elijah (oooh!) and a rather hurt looking Orlando.
Orlando: Girls. Puh! So fickle.
Rattrap: Yeah! Who needs ‘em?!
Sapphire buys the tickets and they all get inside. Lady Venom squeals and runs off.
Rampage: Ven? Ven!? Don’t leave without me!
Rampage follows pursuit and the two disappear into the distance.
Solar Blaze *sighing*: Well, there’s goes two of them. I was just about to suggest we stick together.
KewlGurl: Well, you know where to find her! She’s gonna make Rampage go on Space Mountain whether it’s the last thing she does.
Rattrap: Humph. Well, it can’t be as bad as havin’ half yer head bitten off!
Solar Blaze shoots a mildly sympathetic glance at Rattrap, then breaks out into a controlled giggle. Rattrap glares at her.
Rattrap: Where’s your turtle?
Solar Blaze: I left him in Hamster’s cage. I figured out that would be the best way to see who’s stronger. Just letting matters take care of themselves, is all!
Rattrap: Heh! I hope Hamster wins! At least we share a common species.
Darkfire: Where should we go first?
Sapphire: Giant Water Slide!
Solar Blaze: Oh no….
Elijah: Yes! Water. Cool. Want. To. Go. On. Water slide!
Orlando: Hey? Where’d my MTV Movie Award go?
Elijah: You carry that thing with you?
Orlando: I wanted to show Dark! But I guess she’s not interested.
Elijah and Sapphire look at Darkfire who’s busy having a tug of war with Kewl Gurl over Hayden. It looks about tie.
Eventually they all make their way to the water slide, go up the very long queue (a few people made things slower by asking Orlando, Hayden and Elijah for autographs, but Kewl gave absolute ‘get-away-from-him’ death looks and they eventually left the group alone) and end up at the top.
Now they face the task of who’s getting in the yellow boat thingy first.
Darkfire: You go!
Solar Blaze: Me? I hate these things! You go, Rattrap!
Rattrap: Nuh uh. My metal’ll rip da rubber and I refuse to be water rat!
Orlando: I’ll go!
Orlando scrambles into the yellow boat thingy and goes flying down, his long golden wig fluttering in the wind behind him.
Elijah: Someone please tell me. Why the hell is he wearing his Legolas wig?
Darkfire giggles guiltily and Elijah rolls his eyes.
The next in the boat is Darkfire and Hayden.
Darkfire: Hold me tight Hayden! I get so very scared going down these things! But if I have a big macho guy like you, I know I’ll be okay.
Rattrap: Oh brother. Don’t listen to her Hayden! She’s only using you and abusing you!
Sapphire shoots an odd look at Rattrap.
Rattrap backs away a little scared at the look.
Dinobot: If only you knew.
Rattrap: Hey, where’d you come from?
Dinobot: I jumped out of the Jurassic Park Ride-where do you think I came from? I’ve been here all this time. I have just remained quiet in the presence of all this girl immaturity and incessant squealing.
Solar Blaze: Hey! I haven’t been doing any of that!
Dinobot: I know Solar Blaze. You’re about the only sane one here! Thank the Matrix for girls like you.
Solar Blaze blushes and Rattrap looks ready to hurl.
There’s a blood-curling scream as Kewl Gurl and Elijah depart and speed down the slide, although Sapphire’s not sure if it’s Kewl or Elijah.
Sapphire looks around and realises that there’s only Solar Blaze, Rattrap and Dinobot left.
Sapphire: Well, the metal monsters can’t go for exactly Rattrap’s reason. So, we’ll meet you guys down at the bottom. You climb back down the stairs; Blaze, you and I can take this boat here.
Solar Blaze: Uh, I think I’ll just go down with Rattrap and Dinobot—
Sapphire: Oh no you don’t!
Sapphire pulls Solar Blaze into the yellow rubber boat and hops in afterwards. A little push from the ride manager and off they go. Sapphire screams with glee but is surprised to hear that Solar Blaze is dead quiet. When they reach the bottom, she hops out and does a little dance.
Sapphire: Ooh! That was great! Wasn’t it Blaze….Blaze?
Solar Blaze is frozen, both her hands latched onto the sides and her eyes wide.
Solar Blaze: Don’t. Ever. Make. Me. Do. That. Again.
Sapphire: Oh, okay. Sorry ‘bout that. Hey, let’s catch up with the others! They went towards the Space Mountain ride, but I promise I won’t make you go!
Solar Blaze: G-good.
The others, including the transformers, catch up with the rest of them and meet up with Lady Venom and Rampage outside the ride.
Lady Venom looks excited and agitated at the same time.
Sapphire: What happened?
Kewl Gurl: Lady Venom just told us that she convinced Rampage to go on Space Mountain. But he threw up during the course of the ride.
Sapphire: Oh, well, we all do that from time to time.
Lady Venom shakes her head.
Kewl Gurl: No, it’s what he threw up that’s worrying her.
Lady Venom points behind her and Sapphire looks to see Rampage wiping his mouth with the back of his claw, glaring at a rather thin and dirty looking Joe.
Solar Blaze: Oh no!
Lady Venom: It was an accident Blaze! I honestly thought he’d digested him by now!
Joe staggers over to Sapphire, looking pale and worn but alive.
Joe: Hello Sapphire. Nice to see you again. Hello Solar Blaze. Hello RATTRAP!!!!!
Rattrap backs away, holding his hands up in defense.
Rattrap: Hey! Don’t look at me! I was busy fighting off a ten-foot turtle while Rampage was munching you!
Joe doesn’t look any less angry and glares at Rattrap, then Lady venom.
Joe: You really should control your crab.
Lady Venom: Oh Joe. Don’t take it to heart that he ate you. He gets hungry.
Orlando: Let’s go to the Tower of Terror!
Solar Blaze whines ‘no!’ and Hayden nods feverishly.
Hayden: Yes, that’s a brilliant idea!
Everyone stares at him curiously.
Rattrap: Why you so excited? You wanna push Dark off da ride at da top?
Hayden shoots an annoyed glare at Rattrap.
Suddenly, he notices the huge crab and screams, jumps into Darkfire’s arms and points at it yelling: That’s him! That’s the giant crab, isn’t it Elijah?!
Elijah is busy eating a hotdog. He’s kind of adjusted to all this weirdness and doesn’t really think much of Sapphire and Kewl kissing him from time to time.
Elijah *between munches*: Oh, yeah. But don’t worry. He’s feeling sick now so he won’t try anything.
The group makes their way to the Tower of Terror and Orlando (who loves action) is the first one in the elevator that will rise to a dizzy height, and then suddenly drop at an amazing speed, stopping only inches above the ground.
Solar Blaze shakes her head and sits on a bench outside.
Solar Blaze: You know what? I’ll just watch.
Dinobot: Me too. I hate those things and I refuse to go in with that rat.
Rattrap: Suit yourself. Tower of Terror, here I come!
Rattrap rushes in and joins Orli for the first ride.
Lady Venom: Don’t worry Rampage. You don’t have to go on this ride.
Rampage: Thanks you! Thank you ever so much!
Rampage breaks out into sobs, still very moved from his experience. Suddenly he catches Hayden’s eye and shoots him a demented look.
Rampage: You know, now that I have Joe missing from my stomach, I feel kind of hungry.
Hayden: Eeeellliiiiijaaah!
Elijah hands Rampage the remainder of his hotdog.
Elijah: We’d better get a move on, Lady Venom.
Rampage: I’ve changed my mind! I’m coming with you!
All of them get into the next ride, with the exception of Solar Blaze and Dinobot. They go up and up and Sapphire begins to squeal.
Sapphire: Oh! I’m so scared! I hate these things, but I’m doing it because my sister says I need to toughen up and to stop being such a wimp.
Sapphire’s sister momentarily appears, says: “Yup!” and then disappears.
All of them stare at the space she was for a moment.
Hayden: Weird.
They finally reach the top and the ride stops making a noise and there is a deathly silence.
Kewl Gurl: Here it comes…
There’s a slight moan from the ride, then suddenly a jerk and the next moment the ride drops. Several things happen at once.
Rampage chomps Hayden’s shoulder, Joe has a hernia, Kewl Gurl’s hand flies up and knocks Sapphire on the head, Sapphire falls onto Elijah, Lady Venom yells: “I did it! I killed him!” Darkfire does the Macarena in a sudden act of fear and Rampage throws up Jason. The ride plummets down before meeting a jerking stop. Everyone flies up, hits the roof and crashes to the floor.
Meanwhile, outside the now stationary elevator ride, Rattrap, Orlando (those two have since returned from their ride), Solar Blaze and Dinobot peer at it curiously.
Suddenly the doors open and they witness a horrible sight. (And you can really witness it here!)
Hayden is lying in a fetal position, holding a very red shoulder. There’s a very thin looking Jason huddled in the corner of the elevator, Sapphire is lying across Elijah’s stomach, Lady Venom is sitting on the floor looking around nervously, Kewl Gurl is massaging her hand, wondering who she hit, Joe is doubled over letting out long nasal noises, Darkfire is blushing and Rampage is looking sick again.
Orlando: You all look like—
Solar Blaze: Scrap.
Orlando: Actually, I was going to say crap.
Solar Blaze hits him upside the head.
Solar Blaze: Don’t swear! If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s swearing.
Slowly they all emerge. Kewl Gurl helps Hayden up and out, Elijah carries a petrified Sapphire out, Rampage drags out Jason in the hope that he can later eat him after he’s chopped him up and Lady Venom, feeling sorry for Joe, pulls him by the arms out of the elevator.
Dinobot: Have fun?
Sapphire: Elijah, take us home!
Scene: The actors, the transformers, Solar Blaze, Darkfire, Kewl Gurl, Lady Venom and Sapphire are standing outside the entrance to Disney World. Solar Blaze is still cringing every time she hears people screaming as they plummet down the roller coaster rides, Darkfire and Kewl Gurl are bandaging up Hayden’s shoulder and Lady Venom is trying to convince Rampage that the Space Mountain ride is still the coolest ride out there and that in time he’ll want to go back.
Dinobot: Well, that went well.
Orlando: Hah hah! Look at Hayden’s shoulder—
Orlando stops in mid-sentence and stares at Rampage.
Orlando: Heeey, what are you doing with my MTV Movie Award?
Rampage looks up with a demented grin. In his hand he’s holding a very chewed metal popcorn statuette.
Rampage: So I eat metal? Sue me!
Orlando: Hey! Stop eating my award!
Sapphire is now on her feet, albeit a little wobbly and looks around.
Sapphire: Oh well. I guess Disney World wasn’t such a good idea.
Elijah: Yup.
Sapphire: Guess I won’t be taking you all back here again.
Elijah: Good idea.
Sapphire: But that doesn’t mean Venice will be a disaster as well!
Elijah: No!!!!
The others perk up that this.
Lady Venom: Venice? Did you say Venice? Oh, I’d love to show Venice to Rampage! It being a water city and all, I’m sure Rampage would appreciate it!
Sapphire: Venice it is!
Rattrap: Primus save us all.
Solar Blaze: Oh boy!
Kewl Gurl: Can this guy I know come?
Darkfire: Orlando! Where’s your MTV Award? I wanna see it now!
Sapphire: Cool! Glad we’ve all agreed. So, until Venice, bye y’all!
Everyone waves goodbye and leaves and Sapphire is left alone with Elijah, a sick Joe and …where’s Jason?
