Jan. 12, 2009 - The Magic Kingdom
“AAH-CHOO!”
Erika sniffed, then pulled a tissue out of a pouch on her black belt.
She stood in the middle of Tomorrowland Terrence, a sitting and entertainment area in Disneyland.
When she wore her armor, Erika always landed in Tomorrowland, as not to scare the other denizens of the Magic Kingdom.
“AAaa- choo!” Erika sneezed again. Oh, I need to find King Mickey soon… I need some R and R.
She had caught a cold the Tuesday before, after running at night in the cold. And even worse, the sickness was progressing into the flu.
Erika walked past Stitch and Wall-e, helmet under her arm, waving a friendly hello to the short Sci-fi characters. Thtwo waved back in reply, then resumed chattering to each other.
Over at the Starcade, ( an arcade by Space Mountain,) Erika changed out of her Beskar’ gam, her armor, in the girls bathroom.
She walked through Tomorrowland, then over Main Street and into Frontierland, dodging Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, and Old Yeller followed by several Indians and Captain John Smith.
Walking past The Golden Horseshoe, (An old building that used to have a dancing show, but was now an ice cream parlor,) Erika sneezed several more times.
After waving to Jack and Will, Erika finally made it to New Orleans Square, a quite spot with a wonderful view of the lake and Tom Sawyer’s Island.
Erika sighed as she walked to the front of Gracey Manor. Her parents had been helping clean up the Christmas decorations. Erika walked in through a side door, near the first pet cemetery, and made her wat through the winding pass ways and to the ball room. The Graceys had thrown a ball to see the
Halloween Town citizens off. The ghosts and ghoulies were dancing to the organ, and Erika stepped through the waltzing un-deads to her mother, who was presently talking to Madame Leota.
Erika tapped her mom’s shoulder then whispered that she would be at the castle.
“Alright pumpkin, but be home before morning, okay?”
“Yes ma’am, and could you tell daddy that Sora was asking for him? Thanks mom!”
Erika skipped lightly past the joyful dancers, and back out the side door. She stepped over a few gravestones and past the ghosts horse, who whinnied as she flew by.
-
In front of the castle, Erika paused. She was about to cross the moat when a familiar voice called her name.
She turned to face two figures. “Oh hi guys!” Max and P.J. walked up, “Hey, what’s up?” asked Max, Goofy’s son.
“Oh nothing, really. King Mickey’s home, right?”
“Yeah, he is. What’d you want to say to him?” said P.J., Pete’s son.
Erika smiled, and lifted her hand. The key blade appeared and the two teenaged toons inhaled.
“No way!” Breathed P.J.
Max blinked, “ Garwsh, those things just keep popping up, don’t they?”
Erika laughed, “Yeah, guess so.”
“Well, tell your dad’s hi for me, I’ve got to see Mickey before he heads off again.”
The boys waved good-bye, and Erika headed into the castle.
-
Mickey was in his study, bent over some old looking papers.
“Your Majesty?” Erika asked earnestly.
“Hmm? Oh, hello!” Said the King, lifting his head.
Erika smiled, Poor Mickey, still wondering about the Heartless and Nobodies…
She showed the King her blade, and told him about a few months ago, on Halloween.
Mickey smiled kindly, and brought his key blade forth.
“I guess we have another key blader.”
-
Back in Tomorrowland, Erika donned her armor once again.
The sun would rise in a few hours, and the Disney citizens would go back to their homes for the day.
Behind Erika, a small, flat figure lurked on the ground. It leapt up, followed by a dozen other.
Erika faced them, key blade flying through them.
Something beeped.
Oh great, who’s calling?
Erika fought off the Heartless and pulled a small disk from a pouch.
“Hello?”
A small blue figure of Ahsoka stood.
“Erika! The Council pulled the reinforcements from Kamino!”
“ What?!”
“They said it was taking up resources. And what are you doing?” Said Ahsoka, glancing at Erika’s movements as she fended off the remaining Heartless.
“That’s nothing. I’ll talk to the Masters later, I have to go.”
“Wait! I forgot to tell you, the Council has given you a clone battalion, they’re waiting for you an Coruscant.”
“Say WHAT?” Erika threw the last Heartless across the plaza.
“You don’t want them?”
“Of course I want them! Why did the JedI Council give me a whole battalion?”
A whole clone battalion contained five hundred and seventy six men.
Ahsoka shrugged, “I don’t know. Well see you later!”
With that the hologram faded away.
Erika stood in the partial darkness, and shook her head.
“Crazy Masters…” she said a bit fondly.
"AAAH-CHOO!"
