8 Magic Nights

Night 8: Yo ho, yo ho, a Kerfuffled life for me

Adventureland was, as the name suggests, a land where adventures happened. Themed around a mish mash of the far east and somewhere in the Middle East (Agrabar, maybe? That'd be a plausible one), it fitted in perfectly with the humid, stifling heat of Florida, and made sure the visitor was fully immersed in the experience of visiting and having fun. Just opposite Jimmy's current location, the Enchanted Tiki Room (thankfully no longer under new management) had just let out its latest crowd, and they were merrily singing along to the glorious soundtrack of that truly bizarre ride.

"In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room,
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room;
All the birds sing words,
And the flowers Croon;
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki tiki room!"

Jimmy laughed. He remembered this ride well. "I wonder what they were smoking when they came up with that," he smiled, and headed onwards into the park towards his intended destination, walking past the Magic Carpets of Aladdin and a part of the Jungle Cruise on the way. A group of passengers were howling with laughter over a hilarious commentary given by one of the boat captains, and seemed to be in high spirits indeed.

But Jimmy had no time for that. He had a journey to the land of the Buccaneers to look forward to.

When Walt Disney World was in the planning stages in the mid to late 1960s, one of the more popular rides at the Anaheim park was Pirates of the Caribbean. However, the imagineers had assumed that the potential visitors to Florida would not have been interested in a ride about pirates, given that there had been real pirates in Florida in the 18th and 19th centuries, including the dreaded Blackbeard. Instead, they planned an elaborate water based dark ride about the Wild West, which intersected with a roller coaster and a trail through the Rocky mountains. However, when Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom opened in 1971, the first question most visitors asked was; "Where's Pirates of the Caribbean?"

In response, the Wild West ride concept was scrapped, and the imagineers put together a heavily abridged version of Pirates of the Caribbean to satisfy the guests. However, the Wild West concept was later revived, in the forms of Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad respectively.

And so, Jimmy went forward to the queue line, and scanned his magic band for the very last time. He walked into the queue building, built to look like a storehouse for explosives, gunpowder, rum (very important to Jack Sparrow), and even prisoners, judging from the prison cell that was partway through the queue. Jimmy walked along it, and was directed into the second line to sit. When the boat arrived a few moments later, he sat down, and other passengers joined him for this journey back into history. Within a few minutes, the boat launched into the water.

With the loud booming of "DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES," the boat rolled past an abandoned pirate camp, where treasure and other useful items lay scattered about. The boat rounded a curve, and ahead of them was a skeleton, operating a ship's wheel in a storm whilst thunderbolt and lightning (very very frightening) echoed all around.

Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Figaro.

Magnifico.

Anyways, that's enough Queen. Disney only has the license to play their music in Hollywood Studios. Suddenly, the boat approached a drop, and went flying down it in pitch blackness, plummeting into the abyss.

And then it happened. It was so dark, Jimmy couldn't see what was happened, and nor could he feel what was going on either. For magic was doing some exceptionally weird things today.

Firstly, his shorts changed into a yellow skirt with a purple trim on the bottom, and his shirt merged with it. The sleeves shrank back into nothingness, and a purple waistband appeared on the skirt. His shirt shrank back so that his left shoulder was completely bare, and the other one turned into a strap holding the garment on. An badge with a pair of knitting needles appeared over the strap, and more of this purple trim appeared on the top of the garment. He gained a purple sandle on his left foot, but not his right, oddly enough.

The next bit, sadly, sounds like something out of an old anthology horror film. His left leg from just above his knee vanished, and was replaced by a wooden prosphetic that had golden trim and a metal joint. Magic then connected the limb to Jimmy's nervous system, allowing him to move it as if it was a natural leg.

His entire body shrank, his clothes with him, and his manhood vanished up through his body to where the sun doesn't shine, being replaced with something else a few moments later; a womanhood. Her hips popped outwards and her waist narrowed, followed by a pair of breasts appearing on her chest. Her eyes turned purple, her skin blue, and her hair into a messy combination pink and white, with braids holding some of it in ponytails, and a further hair piece styled like a pin holder.

Not that Jimmy noticed any of this, of course. When the boat hit the bottom of the drop and splashed everybody, it was only then he noticed. As did the other passengers.

"Help!" cried one guy, jokingly. "There's a pirate on board!"

"Yarr!" Kerfuffle replied. "Off to Davy Jones with ye!"

The other passengers just laughed, as they knew she was only pretending.

The boat sailed past scenes of pirates stealing rum, of auctions of goods (led by a female pirate called Red who replaced an older character not too popular with the modern crowd), pirates being chased by women with saucepans, and even THE HAIRY LEG! There were also some pigs, for some reason, a dog, a few pirates in jail, and even Captain Jack Sparrow dotted around a few places.

Despite her wooden prosphetic, Kerfuffle had no difficulty walking around the park. For some reason, it was moving just as easily as a natural leg would, and this made her happy indeed.

"Yo ho, yo ho, a Pirate's life for me!" she sang, as she walked out of the Adventureland section of the park, into the central plaza in front of Cinderella Castle, and onwards into Tomorrowland. She was utterly oblivious to the odd stares she was getting from a few people, irrespective of whether it was her leg or her attire, which was a little odd. As she walked into the land, she saw a girl with yellow skin who seemed excited.

"Yes!" she cried. ""Best score to me." The girl took her jacket off, and hung it over her arm. "I still feel as though I should have been in this form in Hollywood Studios though. That would have been far better for me."

"Hey Juniper!" Kerfuffle called, which got the other girl's attention. She wandered over to her.

"What happened to you?" Juniper asked, a slight frown on her face. "You look like a pirate? Did you get lost on your way to Pirates of the Carribean? Walt would be most annoyed seeing a Fantasyland character in Tomorrowland!"

"You're not the only one to wonder that," Kerfuffle replied. "Looks like you were able to use your geekiness to win a great victory. And Pirates of the Carribean is in Adventureland, not Fantasyland."

"A high score," Juniper smiled. "Didn't you get this one a few months back?"

"Yes indeed," Kerfuffle grinned in response. "Looks like we've each got ours now."

Suddenly, a massive explosion of candy roared into the air over Fantasyland.

"Hit the sea, ye landlubber!" Kerfuffle called. "Looks like a problem o' Diane!"

"Absolutely!" Juniper replied, and set off after her. "You do realise these shoes make it hard to run, right?"

Author's Note:

Apparently, she appeared in Rainbow Roadtrip (NO SPOILERS. IT HASN'T AIRED IN THE UK YET).

The original concept for this chapter was for Jimmy to suffer an injury that required his leg to be amputated, and Kerfuffle's leg fitted in its place. I decided not to go with this, as it seemed a bit tasteless (and a ride malfunction chapter would be, methinks, in poor taste, as today is September 11th). Hence why we have this.

We'll check in with Katrina tomorrow, then onwards to the final chapter.

Kerfuffle isn't really a pirate, she just had one of her back hooves amputated and replaced with a wooden leg.

Also, I know you haven't seen Rainbow Roadtrip yet, but she doesn't speak like a pirate. Though, it'd be pretty cool if she did.

Well, I wouldn't know that. She still looks like a Buccanner, though.

Heh, maybe in a future story (obviously from yours truly of course :3), that original concept can be used

Okay, it's another TF that occurs with the affected unaware. I was not expecting that.
