The Disney Fork In The Road: An Interactive Story!

[Escapay]

Quite simple. Write a portion of a story, then give two options (hence, fork in the road) for the next person to pick from. They write a continuing portion of the story and again leave a fork in the road for the next writer. You MUST continue from the latest the fork in the road. You can't go back to another and restart from there.

  Mickey & Minnie were walking through the forest one day when they found a small red box. Mickey opened the box and out burst the evil Maleficent! She turned into a dragon and was about to attack them! Luckily, Minnie had her iPod with her, and Mickey just happened to have some speakers in his pockets. So they hooked it up and played "I'm Wishing". Snow White's shrilly voice drove Maleficent away!
  
  A: Mickey & Minnie then decided to stay where they were and played more music on the iPod when suddenly...
  
  B: Mickey laughed and said "Haha, see ya later, Leffy!" and stuck his tongue at her. Maleficent noticed this and despite her ears hurting from the song, she went charging back at them and...

  A great big smelly donkey came barreling through.
  
  "Hey, watch where you're going!" Mickey yelled. The donkey stopped and turned around. It was Pinocchio, who didn't smell at all except of seaweed and whale.
  
  "Oh, sorry, Mickey, I was just chasing after the Blue Fairy," Pinocchio said. He decided to rest awhile and sat with Mickey & Minnie in the forest. Minnie then decided to play the song...

  B: "Voodoo Child" by Rogue Traders
  
  As Mickey, Minnie, and Pinocchio listened to "Voodoo Child", they heard a strange rumbling in the forest and blah blah blah...

I'll start...

Once Upon A Time there were three Princesses: Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora. Their friends liked to call them "Shrilly", "Cindy", and "Rosie". They weren't related at all, but lived together in a grand castle in the sky, with servants to take care of everything they needed. Yet these princesses were sad.

"I'm so sad," Shrilly would often say as she collected water from a well.

"I'm so sad," Cindy would often say as she flounced around in a pink dress that mice made for her.

"I'm so (yawn)," Rosie would often say before she took a nap.

You see, they were sad because the mad Madame Mim cursed them, and they were to remain in the castle until a Prince came for each of them. But the only way a Prince could find the castle was if he ever found himself lost in the Forbidden Mountains, which no Prince ever did since the mountains were...well, forbidden. But then again, being lost could possibly lead someone into the Forbidden Mountains since they wouldn't know they were there. Weird, isn't it?

Anyway, one day, a Prince did arrive at the castle and he was...

A: Prince Charming, who got separated from his hunting partner Mike when trying to find his hunting lodge...yeah, that's it, his hunting lodge.

B: Prince Humperdinck, who got lost on his way back to Florin.

I love story games! Excellent idea, did you come up with it? I'm so glad you started with fairy tale characters, and my favorites. I'm less acquainted with The Princess Bride, and a little too acquainted with Prince Charming (apparently), so...

A: Prince Charming, who got separated from his hunting partner Mike when trying to find his hunting lodge...yeah, that's it, his hunting lodge.

So, in the Forbidden Mountains, the prince was very frightened. He had lived a sheltered life in a castle, just like the princesses. In fact, he would not have gone into the woods at all had it not been to get away to have some secret fun he couldn't have in the palace, provoked by Mike, who cared for him and told him he would protect him on the way.

The Prince was riding along a winding path when he came upon Tweedle Dee. He said he would not let Chars, as his friend called him (he only had one friend, Mike) pass through. Chars asked why, and Tweedle Dee said it was because there were princesses trapped in a castle, and he was trying to make the princesses independent like Alice, so he wouldn't let a prince come and save them. Chars explained he had no desire to go find princesses, just his hunting lodge, but he was lost. Tweedle Dee said the lodge wasn't that way, but the princesses had enough bird friends to carry him anywhere. Chars said that sounded great, but Tweedle Dee still didn't trust a handsome prince to ride into a castle of beautiful princesses. So Chars started crying, crying about Mike and how Mike must be worried and he'd never find him. Tweedle Dee...

A: had lost his own brother, Tweedle Dum, and so he took pity on the prince and let him go, also because he suspected the prince wouldn't do anything to the princesses because of his relationship with Mike.

B: didn't let him pass, and did something to hurt him because he realized what kind of a relationship the prince had with Mike. You see, he was homophobic. What he did was...

[Escapay]

I love story games! Excellent idea, did you come up with it?

It used to be a game on an old soap opera site I went to, and I honest-to-god just randomly remembered it and thought "Hey, this'd be a great game for Polls & Games!"

I'm so glad you started with fairy tale characters, and my favorites.

I figured it'd be the best scenario to work from, especially since they're already well-known outside of Disney and since most UDers would be more interested in doing stories for a fairy tale like Sleeping Beauty than to try and continue Treasure Planet.

Anyway...

B: Tweedle Dee didn't let him pass, and did something to hurt him because he realized what kind of a relationship the prince had with Mike. You see, he was homophobic. What he did was...

...slap poor Chars across the face and yell "Boogedy-Boogedy-Boo!", while running around the guy counterclockwise and waving his arms around like a bird. As a resident of Wonderland, this is the worst insult someone can give, even if to everyone in the real world it seems rather silly. And Tweedle Dee, homophobe that he was, wanted Chars to know just how insulting he found it all to be.

This scared Chars, and he began crying again. "Mike, where are you when I need you?" he whined to no one in particular.

"Mike can't save you, Boogedy-Boo to you!" Tweedle Dee taunted. "If it were up to me, I'd take you to the Queen and she'd cut off your head!"

Chars continued crying, but at the same time, started feeling a strange emotion. He did not like what Tweedle Dee was saying to him, it made him feel different. He had no idea what this emotion was. And without even realizing it, Chars soon found himself pouncing on Tweedle Dee and beating the crap out of him.

"No, stop, please, stop!" Tweedle Dee cried. Chars stopped and got up, surprised at what he did. "What's the matter with you? Are you mad?!"

"Mad? Yes, I'm mad! I'm mad!" Chars said, excited at this new emotion he discovered. Giselle suddenly appeared out of nowhere and punched him in the shoulder.

"If you're gonna steal my line, at least say it right!" she said. "I'm angry, I'm angry!" And then she left.

Tweedle Dee and Chars looked at the empty space where Giselle used to be.

"Wow...that was odd," Tweedle Dee said. "And I've seen odd."

"I'm sorry for punching you," Chars said.

"And I'm sorry for being an ignorant homophobe," Tweedle Dee said. "If a guy like you can cry that much and still have a great left hook, I trust you won't do anything to the princesses. I will lead you to their castle in the sky."

"Thank you so much," Chars said. With that, Tweedle Dee and Chars continued their journey to the castle in the sky. But they had no idea they were being followed by...

A: Giselle, who wanted to make sure Chars didn't steal anymore of her lines.

B: Grumpy, who had been trying to find the castle for years so he could return to Shrilly.

[blackcauldron85]

A: Giselle, who wanted to make sure Chars didn't steal anymore of her lines.

As Chars and Tweedle Dee were walking, they could hear leaves crushing behind them. They turned around, and sure enough, they caught Giselle following them!

"Um, can we help you? I promise, I haven't stolen any more of your lines!" Chars said.

"Well, you see, I got lost and I was looking for a hollow tree so I could get some rest, and then I heard voices, and then I heard you stealing my line, and I WAS angry, but now I'm just lonely and would like a wave, or maybe a friendly smile."

Chars and Tweedle Dee looked at each other.

"Maybe one of the princesses would let you sleep in her bed!" Tweedle Dee said with enthusiasm.

"Princesses? Oh no, not Nancy! You see, I am so very happy with Robert, but I just don't know if I could face Nancy. I mean, she's living in Andalasia with my friends, and I'm still in New York City- I'd trade scary homeless men who steal tiaras for Pip any day!" Giselle said.

Chars and Tweedle Dee looked at each other again, and Tweedle Dee's hand was going around his head and point to Giselle.

"Um...I don't know anything about what you're talking about, but you can journey with us if you'd like," Chars said.

"Oh, well, if you're sure," Giselle said.

"Yes, we're sure. Come on," Chars said, smiling.

And so, Giselle, Chars, and Tweedle Dee continued on their journey to the castle. Giselle couldn't stop looking at Chars because...

A. A bird had pooped on his shoulder without his knowing it.

B: Giselle was attracted to him.

[Escapay]

B: Giselle was attracted to him.

She hadn't expected to find him attractive, but since she was back in the traditional-animation land, there was a certain...charm to Chars. Something that she never saw in live action Robert. Maybe it was the smoothness of his skin since he never had a five o'clock shadow. Or the singular colour of his hair without any graying at the temples. Whatever it was, Giselle found it attractive.

Tweedle Dee had noticed that Giselle was always looking at Chars, and even though his brother was Dum, Dee certainly wasn't. He realised that Giselle found Chars attractive, and knew it would crush Robert if he ever found out. He kept it to himself, though, because he figured he could use that information to his advantage later on.

The three continued their trek through the Forbidden Mountains, hoping that if they walked around long enough they'd be considered lost, and thus find the castle in the sky. It was nearing dark.

"Why don't we stop for the night and continue again tomorrow?" Chars said. The other two agreed and they set up a camp. Tweedle Dee started a fire, whilst Chars took out some beef jerky he had in his sack. The three ate the beef jerky and drank some water from a nearby stream.

"What happens when we get to the castle?" Tweedle Dee asked. "You're not going to set those princesses free, are you?"

"Of course I am," Chars said. "Nobody should be imprisoned like that."

"I think it's so romantic that you're going to rescue them," Giselle said. She looked lovingly at Chars, giving a weak smile that hid her newfound attraction for him.

Suddenly, there was a rustle in the woods, and a gust of wind. The fire blew out and all three were left in the dark. An unknown animal howled at them.

The three of them got closer together and...

A: Wished upon the star, hoping the Blue Fairy would save them.

B: Howled back at the creature, hoping it would scare it away.

[Dragonlion]

B: Howled back at the creature, hoping it would scare it away.

As their last resort, Tweedle Dee, Chars, and Giselle howled. But soon they heard laughter, and two young men came from the bushes. Obviously, they were not amused.

"Who do you think you are?" yelled Chars.

"I'm Prince Phillip", said the man in the black tunic. "And this is my friend, uh... what's your name again?"

"I can't believe you forgot, Phillip!", said the man with the redish lips in the blue tunic. "It's Bob."

"Why did you guys try to scare us?", asked Chars.

"Well we just wanted a laugh that's all", said Prince Phillip. "We had no idea that you would be mad. I apologize".

"That's okay, but why are you guys here?" asked Giselle.

Phillip's friend, Prince Bob, explained,"While riding our horses, Phillip and I decided to look for the princess we heard so much about, but we got lost. We saw your camp and while I thought we should politely ask you to let us stay, Phillip wanted to play a joke."

"I said I was sorry!" said Phillip.

"Well, if you want you can stay with us", said Chars.

"That would be great!",said Bob

But all of a sudden...

A. Tweedle Dee didn't trust Bob and Phillip and refused to let them join.

B. A bridge magically appeared, leading to the castle.

[Escapay]

B. A bridge magically appeared, leading to the castle.

"Hooray, we were lost long enough to find the castle!" Tweedle Dee cried out. The five of them took their horses and began to cross the bridge. It was a rather long one, and after two days, they still had not yet reached the castle.

"What kind of bridge is this?" Bob asked.

"Maybe we have to get lost on this too," Giselle said. The group had stopped once again and she was giving Chars a shoulder massage. "Poor baby, you must be exhausted."

"Gee, thanks, Giselle," Chars said. "You sure give great massages!"

"Can I get a-" Phillip started.

"No!" Giselle interrupted. "Chars gets the massages because he works the hardest of the three of you. Maybe if helped out more, I'll give you a massage."

While Giselle continued massaging Chars, Tweedle Dee looked over at Phillip and Bob and made several facial expressions that said "She has the hots for him even though she's with Robert. What should we do?"

"I think that's sweet," Bob expressed back to Tweedle Dee. "It's probably just a harmless crush."

"But poor Robert," Phillip expressed. "He's a good friend of mine, he'll be heartbroken."

"I know, that's how I felt," Tweedle Dee expressed.

"What are you guys doing?" Chars expressed to them as he noticed them all making weird faces at each other.

Before anyone could answer, a large golden eagle named Marahute swept down and picked up Chars and Giselle in her claws, and flew away.

"Let us go!" Chars cried out to Marahute. Immediately, Phillip, Bob, and Tweedle Dee mounted the horses and chased after them, but Marahute was too fast, and she disappeared into the clouds...

A: "We lost them!" Tweedle Dee said. "Should we rescue them or go to the princesses?"

B: Meanwhile inside the castle, Cindy, Shrilly, and Rosie had finished breakfast and had gone out into the court to find that Marahute had come for a visit, bringng two people with her.

[Dragonlion]

B: Meanwhile inside the castle, Cindy, Shrilly, and Rosie had finished breakfast and had gone out into the court to find that Marahute had come for a visit, bringing two people with her.

One was a handsome young man with dark hair and the other was a lovely young woman with long orange hair. Both had a bewildered look on their face.

"Oh, Marahute, you brought guests!" squeaked Shrilly. "I should have made more tea."

"They look so scared, don't they Cindy," said Rosie.

Cindy didn't didn't hear her, as she had been smitten by the man, but worried that the orange-haired woman was his girlfriend.

"Why did your bird take us?!" yelled Chars.

"We don't have any control over our friend here", said Cindy. "Sometimes Marahute brings us people for no reason."

"Well, maybe you should tell Marahute that kidnapping innocent people isn't nice", said Giselle.

With that, Marahute roughly dropped them to the ground.

"Who are you?" asked Rosie.

"I'm Prince Charming, but my friends call me Char."

"And I'm Giselle. You girls wouldn't be the three princess would you..."

"Guilty, as charged", said Cindy. "How did you find the castle?"

"Our three friends, Giselle, and I saw the bridge-" Chars started.

"Bridge?" Shrilly peeped. "We don't have a bridge to the castle."

Meanwhile, Bob, Phillip, and Tweedle Dee didn't know what to do. They then decided to go to the princesses for help.

A. The bridge then broke, and they fell into a ditch.

B.The Madame Mim then appeared, with a very unpleasant expression on her face.

[Escapay]

Meanwhile, Bob, Phillip, and Tweedle Dee didn't know what to do. They then decided to go to the princesses for help.

B.The Madame Mim then appeared, with a very unpleasant expression on her face.

"What are you doing! How dare you come on my bridge!" she yelled. "I ought to turn you into purple rabbits for this!"

"It was their idea, it was their idea!" Tweedle Dee exclaimed pointing to Bob and Phillip. "I'm not even a Prince! I just want to free the Princesses so they don't have to wait for someone to come get them!"

"But you ARE someone coming to get them!" Mim said. "You're just as bad!"

"But why do you want to keep them imprisoned?"

"Because I'M MAD MADAME MIM!" Fire flew from her nostrils and she turned into a pink dragon right in front of their eyes. Bob wet his pants whilst Phillip unsheathed his sword. Tweedle Dee ran off down the bridge, hoping he wouldn't have to fight anyone. "Where do you think you're going?!" Mim cried. She breathed fire on the bridge and burned away a section of it, trapping Tweedle Dee with them.

"Hey, now, that's not fair, I don't have a sword to fight anyway!" Tweedle Dee said. A sword and shield suddenly fell from the sky and he caught them. "Damn."

"Bob, stop whimpering and get over here!" Phillip said as he began fighting Dragon Mim.

A: Before Bob could say anything, Merlin-as-a-squirrel showed up, ready to help fight Mim.

B: Before Bob could say anything, Mim blinked at him and he disappeared in a puff of smoke and found himself in the castle with the others.
