Episode 5 of season 1 of Steph And The Characters where Steph goes to Magic Kingdom for her first concert with the Guitar Heroes. Too bad she has to fight some demons during it.
This episode is based off of the Olympus Colisem stage in the first Kingdom Hearts and I picked up the opening from the Guitar Hero 1 Basics Tutorial.

Sax, Abigail, Sprite, Calvin, Hobbes, the Guitar Hero band and I were at the Hawthorne home practicing in Leo and Jessica's basement.
AXEL: It takes a lot of practice to become a Guitar Hero. Let me give you a few pointers to get you started.
I was examining my new instrument, the magical guitar the God Of Rock gave me.
STEPH: I've been thinking, this is a cool guitar and all but why am I learning to use buttons instead of strings?
AXEL: Just think of it as your training guitar. It can do a lot of cool stuff but let's start with the basics. See the five color buttons on the neck of the guitar, they're the fret buttons. You hold one down to choose a note, then to play the note you've chosen, use the strum bar. You can strum up or down. Easy right? So let's get you tuned up and ready to rock. To tune a note, hold down a fret button, then just strum up and down a couple times.
STEPH: Okay.
I started off with the green fret button, strummed three times, then worked my way towards the red, to the yellow, to the blue and to the orange.
AXEL: Cool. Now that you're tuned, let's play. Check it out, when the fret buttons light up, you play the note. Give it a try.
STEPH: Simple enough.
The green fret button lit up 6 times and as I strummed up and down, the sounds played from the built-in amp inside the guitar.
AXEL: All right. Now we're going to select a song. Different colors will light up when the song is in play.
The frets lit up in this order: Green, Red, Yellow, Red (which I screwed up on), Yellow, Green, Red, Red and Green.
AXEL: Yeah! And the more you practice, the better you'll get! Now for some long notes. When the letter L appears on the fret button, hold it down and strum as usual and then keep holding the fret button down for the note's entire length. If you let go too early, the note will get cut off.
The L came up on the green fret and I held the button down as long as I could. Then came red, yellow, red, yellow, red and green.
AXEL: Really cool. You're ready to move onto chords. That's when two or more frets light up at the same time. Give it a shot.
The green and red frets lit up first, then green and yellow, then red and yellow, the green and yellow twice, then green and red again.
AXEL: That's it! Sounding great!
All of a sudden, Sax's communicator watch went off.
JOHNNY: What the bloody hell is that?
SAX: It's a message from Mickey.
JUDY: Wonder what he has for us this time?
SAX: (tuning his communicator) Sax speaking, come in, Mickey.
MICKEY: Boy have I got a treat for you! I booked a performance gig for Steph and the Guitar Heroes at Magic Kingdom.
LEO: THE Magic Kingdom?
JESSICA: At Walt Disney World?
MICKEY: You betcha!
SAX: That will be our best chance to remove the spell book powers from the Disney characters.
MICKEY: Exactly! Meet me at the JFK airport in New York City.
SAX: You got it! Sax out.
ABIGAIL: We're finally going to THE REAL Disney World!
I was frantic on the inside all the way to the airport. My first gig already?!! I knew the battle with Lou at the House Of Mouse was good enough for me but why did this have to come so soon? I made a bit of a scene in front of everybody.
PANDORA: What's wrong? Are you nervous?
STEPH: I'm scared! I don't mind singing for a crowd but I've never played an instrument on stage before!
LEO: (puts his hand on my shoulder) It's okay. We'll be here to back you up.
JESSICA: I felt the same way during my first live performance.
BOB: Remember what Axel taught you. Just follow the lights on the buttons.
SCRUFFY: I know you'll do great, Lassie.
Moments later, we finally arrived at the airport and disguised the toons so they wouldn't be seen by believers and sat at the American Airlines section where we met Mickey in a safe place.
SAX: Hello Mickey. Have you got the plane tickets?
MICKEY: (taking the tickets out of his pocket) I sure do! (hands the tickets to the others) You real worlders are riding first class! We toons will ride in the bottom of the plane.
CALVIN: You mean we have to ride in the baggage compartment?! We're not pets!
SAX: I know, Calvin, but we can't risk exposing ourselves to believers.
JUDY: Will you guys be okay down there?
MICKEY: Of course! Don't worry, Professor Von Drake invented this holographic carrier to disguise us as cats and dogs. No one will suspect a thing.
STEPH: Be safe, you guys.
SAX: You too. See you at the Orlando airport.
15 hours and 53 minutes later, we arrived at our destination and took a 19 minute bus ride to Walt Disney World. Again, Calvin wasn't very happy about riding in the baggage compartment! Mickey took us into Disney's Contemporary Resort and showed us to our rooms to rest for the big show. I had a hard time sleeping 'cause I was so nervous about using my magical guitar in front of thousands of people. Luckily, I was in bed with Leo and he told me everything's gonna be okay and he and the band will be there if I had trouble.
The next morning, I got dressed in my red mini dress, black leggings, mini socks, black heels and picked out some jewelry and styled my hair tying some of it in a side ponytail. Soon, Mickey took us to Magic Kingdom to Cinderella Castle where the concert was going to take place. Inside, we met the rest of the Disney gang.
MINNIE: We're so glad you could make it.
MICKEY: While you're here, we'd like you to meet some friends of Donald and Goofy's.
Donald and Goofy came out with three young teenagers, two boys and a girl who looked like they're from a fantasy game.
DONALD: This is Sora, Riku and Kairi.
Sora had brown hair and was dressed in a red T-Shirt with matching gloves and shoes, black shorts, white socks and a silver necklace with a crown on it. Riku had white hair and was dressed in a blue tank top and matching jeans and wore black sneakers and gauntlets similar to Iron Maiden's lead singer. And Kairi had dark red hair tied back in a pink ribbon and wore a matching pink T-Shirt with a silver star necklace, a lavender skirt and matching socks and pink sneakers.
SORA: Hi. Nice to meet you
STEPH: (shaking Sora's hand) I'm Steph.
RIKU: She looks kind of naive if you ask me.
SORA: Riku!
KAIRI: So you're the Character Tamer. Are you like the key bearer?
STEPH: Sort of...
GOOFY: Aw, don't be shy, Steph.
MINNIE: Why don't you show them your magic guitar.
I do so and...
RIKU: It looks more like a toy, just like your sword, Sora.
SORA: (starting to get annoyed) Riku, Stop making fun of us!
STEPH: But he's right. It does look like a toy!
KAIRI: Never mind what Riku says. I like your guitar just fine. The buttons are interesting.
DAISY: C'mon! Let's get ready for the show!
Later at the stage...
AXEL: Okay Steph, remember what we taught you. Just follow the lights on the frets and if you get stuck, we'll back you up.
I nodded and gulped at the same time as I peeked out to the crowd and felt like this was gonna be a nightmare!
ANNOUNCER: Welcome to Disney's Magic Kingdom Music Festival! And now for the first time introducing Guitar Hero performing I Ran by A Flock Of Seagulls.
MICKEY: Good luck, everyone!
SORA: You'll do great Steph.
I took a deep breath, walked onstage with my band mates, turned on my magical guitar and waited for the lights to come on.
I walk along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
You hypnotize me through
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
Reached out a hand to touch your face
You're slowly disappearing from my view
Disappearing from my view
Reached out a hand to try again
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
A beam of light with you
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
The crowd cheered us on as the song ended and I matched most of the notes well. The crowd loved me but one of the judges laughed at my guitar playing! As we went backstage, I sat down at one of the tables and threw my chest and head down.
AXEL: You did awesome, Steph!
JUDY: You blew the crowd away! Why are you acting like this?
STEPH: I guess I should be proud of myself but I feel embarrassed.
LEO: Don't be. It's not like you're playing for the big leagues for something. You're still starting out and you're not gonna become Eddie Van Halen overnight. Believe me, I've been there!
BOB: We've ALL been there!
LEO: Anyway, you play great, strings or no strings.
STEPH: If you say so.
SAX: Would the Guitar Heroes let you perform with them if they didn't think you could do it?
JOHNNY: The yellow dog has a point there.
SCUFFY: Ya gotta believe in yourself, Lassie.
MICKEY: We think you did a fine job!
Unknown to us, Janna Connor was spying on us nearby. Who knows what she's up to. She seems to be plotting something by the look on her face as we went up to perform our next song. Axel wanted to play Balls To The Wall by Accept but I checked the lyrics and the song wasn't appropriate for a family friendly place like Disney so we played No One Like You by Scorpions instead.
Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart
Much too long for a man who needs love
I miss you since I've been away
Babe, it wasn't easy to leave you alone
It's getting harder each time that I go
If I had the choice, I would stay
There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don't want my feelings restrained
Oh babe, I just need you like never before
I just imagine you'd come through this door
You'd take all my sorrow away
There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
I did better than last time and the crowd loved me even more. Everyone was right! I just had to believe in myself, strings or no strings. As Calvin, Hobbes and I went to the soda machine to celebrate my victory, we saw a young man about Leo's age. He had extremely long and fluffy blond hair and wore a leopard print headband, a purple and pink open chest tank top, black spandex, white boots and green and purple cloth bands wrapped around his neck, arms and legs. He seemed kinda weird and he acted weird too as he approached me.
MAN: Hi. I love to party. Do you?
STEPH: Uh... Well...
MAN: Hey, I saw you rocking out there with that magic guitar. Is it a new model?
STEPH: It's...
CALVIN: What are you, some kind of freak?!
MAN: What are YOU, some kind of kid with a grown man's mind?
PANDORA: I see you've met Izzy Sparks.
IZZY: Oh hi, Pandora.
HOBBES: You know him?
AXEL: Of course. He's one of us.
STEPH: ?!!
IZZY: Oh you must be the lost rocker everyone's been talking 'bout! What's your name again?
STEPH: Steph.
IZZY: See ya on the stage, Steph.
SAX: Hmmm... Something tells me he'll be a tough one to get on with.
LEO: I wouldn't worry about him. He's a glam rocker and a drama king.
We got back on stage again and performed Shakin' by Eddie Money:
Rosanna's daddy had a car she loved to drive
Stole the keys one night and took me for a ride
Turned up the music just as loud as it could go
Blew out the speakers in her daddy's radio
She was shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooh oh)
She was movin' round and round (oh oh ooh oh)
That girl was shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
We started drinkin', wasn't thinkin' too straight
She was doin' 80 and she slammed on the brakes
Got so high we had to pull to the side
We did some shakin til the middle of the night
Shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooh oh)
She was up and down and round and round
Shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Shakin' (oh oh ooh oh) (oh oh ooh oh)
(Oh oh ooh oh) (oh oh ooh oh)
I got a little nervous
When she took her coat off
She looked so pretty
Ahh yeah
I'm always talkin' baby, talkin' too much
I love that little girl and I just can't get enough
It takes a lonely night with nowhere to go
Just call Rosanna, it's a hell of a show
And she's shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooh oh)
She'll be movin' round and round (oh oh ooh oh)
Oh she's shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooh oh)
She'll be movin' up and down (oh oh oo oh)
Round and round and round (oh oh ooh oh)
And shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Sha sha sha sha sha she was shakin'
Sha sha sha sha sha she was shakin'
Sha sha sha sha sha she was shakin'
Sha sha sha sha sha she was shakin'
After another success, I went into the picnic area and put my head down one a shady table hoping to sleep. All of a sudden, I felt someone shaking my leg. I turned to look and it was Eeyore.
STEPH: Hi.
EEYORE: Hello, Steph. It's nice to see you again. I took a break from my meet and greet to watch your show.
STEPH: Thanks. How are Pooh and the others?
EEYORE: Fine. They watched your show too. Everyone is having a good time.
STEPH: I love how you can stay happy under your sad personality.
EEYORE: Steph, I'm never sad as long as I have friends like you.
As I was hugging Eeyore, someone else came to visit me, and you'll never guess who! We looked up and saw the Mad Hatter sitting on our table drinking his usual tea!
MAD HATTER: Would you care for a cup of tea?
STEPH: Maybe later.
Eeyore wished me luck as I returned to my band to play Heat Of The Moment by Asia:
I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
A look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe the smile right from my face
Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidents arose from circumstance?
One thing led to another, we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes
And now you find yourself in '82
The disco hot-spots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings
'Cause it's the heat of the moment
The heat of the moment
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes
And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone?
What were the things you wanted for yourself?
Teenage ambition you remember well
It was the heat of the moment
Telling you what your heart meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes
It was the heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Meanwhile, Izzy is hanging out in Cinderella Castle when Janna Connor approached him.
IZZY: Hi. Anything I can do for ya?
JANNA: Maybe. I was wondering, can you do a guitar battle?
IZZY: Can I do a guitar battle?! You bet! I've won them all over the country!
JANNA: Then I bet you can challenge Guitar Hero's newest band member.
IZZY: You mean Steph?
JANNA: You're not going to disappoint me are you?
IZZY: I won't let you down. (thinking) How can I beat that magic guitar of her's?
Soon, we went back onstage to play Holy Diver by Dio:
Hmm mmmm
Yeah, yeah
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away
Holy Diver
Yeah
Got shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Look out
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right
Gotta get away
Get away
Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel (yeah)
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel, say
Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump, jump, jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
No, no
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away
Get Away
Gotta get away
Get away (yeah)
Holy Diver, sole survivor
You're the one who's clean
Holy Diver, Holy Diver
There's a cat in the blue coming after you, Holy Diver
Oh Holy Diver
Yeah
All right
Get away, get away, get away
Holy Diver
Holy Diver
Oh Holy Diver
Hmm mmmm
STEPH: I hope that was our encore! I'm getting tired!
BOB: Then you'll be too tired for the after party.
When we went backstage, I was just about to crash on the couch when I saw Izzy sitting there.
IZZY: Steph Dale, I challenge you to a guitar battle!
STEPH: What?! I don't what a guitar battle is!
LEO: I knew this was coming!
MINNIE: What is a guitar battle?
SCRUFFY: It's when two guitarists play a part in a song and whoever plays the best solo wins.
AXEL: Only this ain't no friendly duel! You have to fight dirty to win this guitar battle.
JOHNNY: Izzy, Steph will accept your match.
JUDY: Only we're all going to guide her through the lines because she doesn't have any guitar battle training.
IZZY: All right. But I'm sure she should've learned it by now!
AXEL: She hasn't been with us long and this is her first concert! Can't you see she's nerved up enough as it is?
JESSICA: Why would Izzy wanna challenge Steph to a guitar battle?
LEO: I don't know and we're gonna find out. What do you think, Sax?
SAX: (seeing Janna Connor, a strange woman in the crowd) I have a sneaky feeling someone else is behind this.
While Leo, Jessica, Scruffy, Bob, Sax, Abigail and Sprite see Janna sneaking off and follow her, I was getting ready to have a mental breakdown in my body!
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, the Guitar Heroes are going to show you how a Guitar Battle is done. Demonstrating are Steph Dale and Izzy Sparks.
IZZY: We're going to show our newest member of Guitar Hero the ropes of death!
SORA: (peeking from backstage) I don't like where this is going.
RIKU: There's no way she's going to pull this off.
MICKEY: I just hope Axel and the others know what they're doing.
AXEL: Steph, switch your Star Power setting to Battle Power. There should be a switch on the back of your guitar.
STEPH: (hits the switch) I was wondering what this was for!
JUDY: Battle Power allows you to attack your opponent. Acquiring it is just like getting Star Power. Play every note that the letter B shows up on.
I did what Judy told me and played green, yellow, red and green. Then I saw what looked like a lighting bolt symbol appear on the slider.
JOHNNY: That's an amp overload attack. It will overload your opponent's amp. To unleash it, aim the neck at your opponent and press the button between the guitar and bass setting to fire.
I did what Johnny told me and overloaded Izzy's amp making it harder for him to play notes.
IZZY: Not bad. But there are different types of attacks. Some make it harder to play notes and some require you to fix your guitar. Can you fix a broken string, or should I say, a broken fret button?
Izzy fired his broken string attack at me and the red fret button broke!
AXEL: Here, put this on your broken fret! (throws a red cap to me)
I quickly put the cap on my broken fret and the red fret button worked just like new! Izzy acquired an amp overload attack and fired it at me and while my guitar sounded funny, I managed to pick up a double note attack and fired it at him.
Elsewhere, Leo, Jessica, Scruffy, Bob, Sax, Abigail and Sprite followed Janna into Main Street U.S.A. and into a closed off area.
JESSICA: That's one of the girls who went to our school.
BOB: What's she doing here?
SAX: I think this woman is bad news. I bet she was the one who tempted Izzy to duel Steph in a guitar battle.
ABIGAIL: She's going into that building where a lion statue is.
Janna pushed a button on the lion's nose and it moved backwards revealing a secret passage. She went down into a portal into Dark World into her secret lair where the Disney Villains were waiting and transformed back into Devil Heart.
DEVIL HEART: My plan is working perfectly! With the Character Tamer distracted by a dumb blond, I can capture those Disney do-gooders by surprise. Release the Hell Hound!
The Disney Villains pulled a lever and out came a giant black dog with red eyes and snarling teeth.
DEVIL HEART: Use your nose to sniff out those Disney heroes and bring them to me!
The monster dog obeyed and ran out the portal and came out into the park right before Sax's and the others' eyes and ran towards Cinderella Castle. People thought the dog was part of the attraction as they saw him run by.
LEO: We gotta chase after it before it does any damage!
In some trees near Fantasyland, Bambi, Thumper and Flower were playing as usual when they spotted Leo and the gang chasing after the giant dog.
THUMPER: That looks like one of Man's dogs, but bigger.
FLOWER: It's headed for Steph's concert!
BAMBI: We'd better warn her!
The woodland creatures ran from the bushes all the way to the stage and stopped Izzy and me from our guitar duel.
THUMPER: Stop the concert! Stop the concert!
STEPH: What's the matter?
BAMBI: There's a giant dog running lose!
FLOWER: Look!
We all looked and saw the evil dog heading our way! It was just like the giant dogs I see in my dreams and reminded me of painting of monsters I sometimes see in certain places!
MICKEY: Everyone get in the castle!
STEPH: I'm going to fight the dog!
DONALD: Are you crazy?!
CALVIN: He'll rip you to shreds!
STEPH: Someone has to do something!
VOICE: At least let us help you!
I look up to see Aladdin and Jasmine flying towards the stage on a magic carpet.
ALADDIN: We were rehearsing for a show in Adventureland when Carpet saw that beast running around.
MICKEY: Someone will have to distract the dog while we think of a way to get it out of the park!
PANDORA: I'll try to trap it in my box of demons!
STEPH: (taking out her gun) I'll have to knock it out with Holy Water!
JASMINE: Steph, we'll fly you to the head of the dog and you can spray it in the face.
ALADDIN: That way it'll be stunned so Pandora can do her thing.
STEPH: Got it! Let's go!
BAMBI: Good luck!
Calvin, Hobbes, Pandora and I mounted on the magic carpet with Aladdin and Jasmine and flew into the street where Sax and the others were holding it off. The dog growled a roar as it saw us coming. Sax shot lighting bolts out of his whiskers to keep the dog at bay as Pandora landed. The dog spewed a fireball at us hitting a nearby bush. I had to spray some Holy Water to put the fire out and I hoped I had enough left to hit the dog. While Leo and the others were dodging it's huge paws, we positioned ourselves in front of the beast and it started biting at us, startling Calvin and Hobbes causing them to fall off the carpet. Luckily, Scruffy and Bob caught them before the dog had a chance to bite! The dog jumped up on it's hind legs and stomped it's front paws making the ground vibrate and blowing Sax, Abigail, Sprite, Leo, Jessica, Scruffy, Bob, Pandora, Calvin and Hobbes off their feet and rolled a few times on the ground. Then as I positioned the carpet at a distance from the dog's head, it started spewing a black mast at us so we had to move behind it's head to get out of the way. Then, we see Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Sora flying with pixie dust with Tinker Bell and one of her friends, Rosetta (a red-headed flower fairy dressed in a pink and black dress, pink bracelets with matching leg warmers, white tights and black shoes) at their side.
SORA: Need some help?
STEPH: That would be nice!
MICKEY: Sora, strike the beast behind it's head with your keyblade.
Sora does so which stunned the dog and gave me a chance to spray it in the face with holy water. It screamed in pain and Pandora opened her demon box, said her incantation and the giant demon dog got sucked into the box. When Pandora closed the box, everyone cheered for us. With all the Disney characters gathered together, I took this chance to use Star Power to remove the spell book magic from them so Devil Heart won't be able to capture them.
Back onstage at Cinderella Castle...
MICKEY: Thus, I hereby dub thee, Junior Members of the Disney Community for saving the park from disaster and removing this dangerous power from us, making Disney's characters safe again.
CALVIN: Hey! What do you mean "Junior Members"?!
DONALD: You're still in training so you still have a long way to go.
MICKEY: Donald's right. Being official members isn't a race. It's a journey.
SORA: It's like working your way to the top.
STEPH: I think it's like getting grades at school and earning your next karate belt.
MICKEY: Exactly!
Then Mickey calls upon two toy characters: Woody, a cowboy with brown hair and dressed in a brown cowboy hat, a black bandana around his neck, a red shirt, a yellow vest, a silver star badge, blue jeans with a brown belt, holster and yellow buckle and black boots. And Jessie, a cowgirl with red hair tied back in a braid and dressed in black, white and silver. They took my hand and put in a Disney license.
STEPH: Thank you.
JESSIE: Yer welcome.
WOODY: It sure took a lot of courage to face a ferocious beast like that!
MICKEY: Say, where's Izzy Sparks?
RIKU: He just took off to Main Street U.S.A.
STEPH: Oh no.
AXEL: C'mon. We gotta chase him down.
Mickey and the gang took us to Main Street U.S.A. on a horse carriage and searched around for Izzy until we found him near one of the pay phones. I hopped off and ran to him followed by Axel and Leo.
LEO: What's the big deal, Izzy?
IZZY: I screwed up! I never should've listened to Janna Connor!
STEPH: Hey, everyone makes mistakes.
IZZY: Don't you get it?! I caused a giant dog to get out of Dark World and nearly got you killed and Disney World destroyed! It's all my fault!
AXEL: Don't put yourself down, man.
STEPH: I wasn't born well-behaved like I am now. I stole a bookmark from the school book fair once when I was in elementary school and said the s-word to my teachers when I was in 2nd grade. I was very selfish when I was in 5th grade and set school riots against my brother and sister and I acted really badly as a teenager. It was worse when I was 15! Even today, I'm still acting like a teenager! I think it's because I had a lot of bad teachers at school. Life was hard for people with autism back then.
LEO: People at work even treated her bad, all because of her autism!
AXEL: See, even our little angel was a devil once. You gotta learn to let things go and let bygones be bygones.
STEPH: Besides, I forgive you and consider you my friend. If it weren't for you, I never would've known what Guitar Battles were.
IZZY: Really?
STEPH: The honest to God truth!
Suddenly, Mickey and friends and the rest of the band join up with us.
MICKEY: See what I mean about being Junior Members? There are some things you must learn before reaching to the top. And learning from your mistakes helps you clear your path.
SAX: And you must always forgive each other and other people, no matter how much they hurt you.
SORA: We're all searching for our light in the darkness and I know we'll find it.
IZZY: Since you've put it that way, I'll stick around.
MICKEY: That's the spirit!
CALVIN: Just no more evil black dogs, okay?
All of a sudden, this happy service dog (which is a black German Shepard) walks right behind Calvin and sniffs his back. When Calvin turns around to see what it is, he screams and runs all the way to Fantasyland! The dog was left stumped while the rest of us were left laughing.
HOBBES: I guess Calvin's got a new pet peeve!
Episode 5 of season 1 of Steph And The Characters where Steph goes to Magic Kingdom for her first concert with the Guitar Heroes. Too bad she has to fight some demons during it.
This episode is based off of the Olympus Colisem stage in the first Kingdom Hearts and I picked up the opening from the Guitar Hero 1 Basics Tutorial.

Sax, Abigail, Sprite, Calvin, Hobbes, the Guitar Hero band and I were at the Hawthorne home practicing in Leo and Jessica's basement.
AXEL: It takes a lot of practice to become a Guitar Hero. Let me give you a few pointers to get you started.
I was examining my new instrument, the magical guitar the God Of Rock gave me.
STEPH: I've been thinking, this is a cool guitar and all but why am I learning to use buttons instead of strings?
AXEL: Just think of it as your training guitar. It can do a lot of cool stuff but let's start with the basics. See the five color buttons on the neck of the guitar, they're the fret buttons. You hold one down to choose a note, then to play the note you've chosen, use the strum bar. You can strum up or down. Easy right? So let's get you tuned up and ready to rock. To tune a note, hold down a fret button, then just strum up and down a couple times.
STEPH: Okay.
I started off with the green fret button, strummed three times, then worked my way towards the red, to the yellow, to the blue and to the orange.
AXEL: Cool. Now that you're tuned, let's play. Check it out, when the fret buttons light up, you play the note. Give it a try.
STEPH: Simple enough.
The green fret button lit up 6 times and as I strummed up and down, the sounds played from the built-in amp inside the guitar.
AXEL: All right. Now we're going to select a song. Different colors will light up when the song is in play.
The frets lit up in this order: Green, Red, Yellow, Red (which I screwed up on), Yellow, Green, Red, Red and Green.
AXEL: Yeah! And the more you practice, the better you'll get! Now for some long notes. When the letter L appears on the fret button, hold it down and strum as usual and then keep holding the fret button down for the note's entire length. If you let go too early, the note will get cut off.
The L came up on the green fret and I held the button down as long as I could. Then came red, yellow, red, yellow, red and green.
AXEL: Really cool. You're ready to move onto chords. That's when two or more frets light up at the same time. Give it a shot.
The green and red frets lit up first, then green and yellow, then red and yellow, the green and yellow twice, then green and red again.
AXEL: That's it! Sounding great!
All of a sudden, Sax's communicator watch went off.
JOHNNY: What the bloody hell is that?
SAX: It's a message from Mickey.
JUDY: Wonder what he has for us this time?
SAX: (tuning his communicator) Sax speaking, come in, Mickey.
MICKEY: Boy have I got a treat for you! I booked a performance gig for Steph and the Guitar Heroes at Magic Kingdom.
LEO: THE Magic Kingdom?
JESSICA: At Walt Disney World?
MICKEY: You betcha!
SAX: That will be our best chance to remove the spell book powers from the Disney characters.
MICKEY: Exactly! Meet me at the JFK airport in New York City.
SAX: You got it! Sax out.
ABIGAIL: We're finally going to THE REAL Disney World!
I was frantic on the inside all the way to the airport. My first gig already?!! I knew the battle with Lou at the House Of Mouse was good enough for me but why did this have to come so soon? I made a bit of a scene in front of everybody.
PANDORA: What's wrong? Are you nervous?
STEPH: I'm scared! I don't mind singing for a crowd but I've never played an instrument on stage before!
LEO: (puts his hand on my shoulder) It's okay. We'll be here to back you up.
JESSICA: I felt the same way during my first live performance.
BOB: Remember what Axel taught you. Just follow the lights on the buttons.
SCRUFFY: I know you'll do great, Lassie.
Moments later, we finally arrived at the airport and disguised the toons so they wouldn't be seen by believers and sat at the American Airlines section where we met Mickey in a safe place.
SAX: Hello Mickey. Have you got the plane tickets?
MICKEY: (taking the tickets out of his pocket) I sure do! (hands the tickets to the others) You real worlders are riding first class! We toons will ride in the bottom of the plane.
CALVIN: You mean we have to ride in the baggage compartment?! We're not pets!
SAX: I know, Calvin, but we can't risk exposing ourselves to believers.
JUDY: Will you guys be okay down there?
MICKEY: Of course! Don't worry, Professor Von Drake invented this holographic carrier to disguise us as cats and dogs. No one will suspect a thing.
STEPH: Be safe, you guys.
SAX: You too. See you at the Orlando airport.
15 hours and 53 minutes later, we arrived at our destination and took a 19 minute bus ride to Walt Disney World. Again, Calvin wasn't very happy about riding in the baggage compartment! Mickey took us into Disney's Contemporary Resort and showed us to our rooms to rest for the big show. I had a hard time sleeping 'cause I was so nervous about using my magical guitar in front of thousands of people. Luckily, I was in bed with Leo and he told me everything's gonna be okay and he and the band will be there if I had trouble.
The next morning, I got dressed in my red mini dress, black leggings, mini socks, black heels and picked out some jewelry and styled my hair tying some of it in a side ponytail. Soon, Mickey took us to Magic Kingdom to Cinderella Castle where the concert was going to take place. Inside, we met the rest of the Disney gang.
MINNIE: We're so glad you could make it.
MICKEY: While you're here, we'd like you to meet some friends of Donald and Goofy's.
Donald and Goofy came out with three young teenagers, two boys and a girl who looked like they're from a fantasy game.
DONALD: This is Sora, Riku and Kairi.
Sora had brown hair and was dressed in a red T-Shirt with matching gloves and shoes, black shorts, white socks and a silver necklace with a crown on it. Riku had white hair and was dressed in a blue tank top and matching jeans and wore black sneakers and gauntlets similar to Iron Maiden's lead singer. And Kairi had dark red hair tied back in a pink ribbon and wore a matching pink T-Shirt with a silver star necklace, a lavender skirt and matching socks and pink sneakers.
SORA: Hi. Nice to meet you
STEPH: (shaking Sora's hand) I'm Steph.
RIKU: She looks kind of naive if you ask me.
SORA: Riku!
KAIRI: So you're the Character Tamer. Are you like the key bearer?
STEPH: Sort of...
GOOFY: Aw, don't be shy, Steph.
MINNIE: Why don't you show them your magic guitar.
I do so and...
RIKU: It looks more like a toy, just like your sword, Sora.
SORA: (starting to get annoyed) Riku, Stop making fun of us!
STEPH: But he's right. It does look like a toy!
KAIRI: Never mind what Riku says. I like your guitar just fine. The buttons are interesting.
DAISY: C'mon! Let's get ready for the show!
Later at the stage...
AXEL: Okay Steph, remember what we taught you. Just follow the lights on the frets and if you get stuck, we'll back you up.
I nodded and gulped at the same time as I peeked out to the crowd and felt like this was gonna be a nightmare!
ANNOUNCER: Welcome to Disney's Magic Kingdom Music Festival! And now for the first time introducing Guitar Hero performing I Ran by A Flock Of Seagulls.
MICKEY: Good luck, everyone!
SORA: You'll do great Steph.
I took a deep breath, walked onstage with my band mates, turned on my magical guitar and waited for the lights to come on.
I walk along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
You hypnotize me through
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
Reached out a hand to touch your face
You're slowly disappearing from my view
Disappearing from my view
Reached out a hand to try again
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
A beam of light with you
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
The crowd cheered us on as the song ended and I matched most of the notes well. The crowd loved me but one of the judges laughed at my guitar playing! As we went backstage, I sat down at one of the tables and threw my chest and head down.
AXEL: You did awesome, Steph!
JUDY: You blew the crowd away! Why are you acting like this?
STEPH: I guess I should be proud of myself but I feel embarrassed.
LEO: Don't be. It's not like you're playing for the big leagues for something. You're still starting out and you're not gonna become Eddie Van Halen overnight. Believe me, I've been there!
BOB: We've ALL been there!
LEO: Anyway, you play great, strings or no strings.
STEPH: If you say so.
SAX: Would the Guitar Heroes let you perform with them if they didn't think you could do it?
JOHNNY: The yellow dog has a point there.
SCUFFY: Ya gotta believe in yourself, Lassie.
MICKEY: We think you did a fine job!
Unknown to us, Janna Connor was spying on us nearby. Who knows what she's up to. She seems to be plotting something by the look on her face as we went up to perform our next song. Axel wanted to play Balls To The Wall by Accept but I checked the lyrics and the song wasn't appropriate for a family friendly place like Disney so we played No One Like You by Scorpions instead.
Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart
Much too long for a man who needs love
I miss you since I've been away
Babe, it wasn't easy to leave you alone
It's getting harder each time that I go
If I had the choice, I would stay
There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don't want my feelings restrained
Oh babe, I just need you like never before
I just imagine you'd come through this door
You'd take all my sorrow away
There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
I did better than last time and the crowd loved me even more. Everyone was right! I just had to believe in myself, strings or no strings. As Calvin, Hobbes and I went to the soda machine to celebrate my victory, we saw a young man about Leo's age. He had extremely long and fluffy blond hair and wore a leopard print headband, a purple and pink open chest tank top, black spandex, white boots and green and purple cloth bands wrapped around his neck, arms and legs. He seemed kinda weird and he acted weird too as he approached me.
MAN: Hi. I love to party. Do you?
STEPH: Uh... Well...
MAN: Hey, I saw you rocking out there with that magic guitar. Is it a new model?
STEPH: It's...
CALVIN: What are you, some kind of freak?!
MAN: What are YOU, some kind of kid with a grown man's mind?
PANDORA: I see you've met Izzy Sparks.
IZZY: Oh hi, Pandora.
HOBBES: You know him?
AXEL: Of course. He's one of us.
STEPH: ?!!
IZZY: Oh you must be the lost rocker everyone's been talking 'bout! What's your name again?
STEPH: Steph.
IZZY: See ya on the stage, Steph.
SAX: Hmmm... Something tells me he'll be a tough one to get on with.
LEO: I wouldn't worry about him. He's a glam rocker and a drama king.
We got back on stage again and performed Shakin' by Eddie Money:
Rosanna's daddy had a car she loved to drive
Stole the keys one night and took me for a ride
Turned up the music just as loud as it could go
Blew out the speakers in her daddy's radio
She was shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooh oh)
She was movin' round and round (oh oh ooh oh)
That girl was shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
We started drinkin', wasn't thinkin' too straight
She was doin' 80 and she slammed on the brakes
Got so high we had to pull to the side
We did some shakin til the middle of the night
Shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooh oh)
She was up and down and round and round
Shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Shakin' (oh oh ooh oh) (oh oh ooh oh)
(Oh oh ooh oh) (oh oh ooh oh)
I got a little nervous
When she took her coat off
She looked so pretty
Ahh yeah
I'm always talkin' baby, talkin' too much
I love that little girl and I just can't get enough
It takes a lonely night with nowhere to go
Just call Rosanna, it's a hell of a show
And she's shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooh oh)
She'll be movin' round and round (oh oh ooh oh)
Oh she's shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooh oh)
She'll be movin' up and down (oh oh oo oh)
Round and round and round (oh oh ooh oh)
And shakin' (oh oh ooh oh)
Sha sha sha sha sha she was shakin'
Sha sha sha sha sha she was shakin'
Sha sha sha sha sha she was shakin'
Sha sha sha sha sha she was shakin'
After another success, I went into the picnic area and put my head down one a shady table hoping to sleep. All of a sudden, I felt someone shaking my leg. I turned to look and it was Eeyore.
STEPH: Hi.
EEYORE: Hello, Steph. It's nice to see you again. I took a break from my meet and greet to watch your show.
STEPH: Thanks. How are Pooh and the others?
EEYORE: Fine. They watched your show too. Everyone is having a good time.
STEPH: I love how you can stay happy under your sad personality.
EEYORE: Steph, I'm never sad as long as I have friends like you.
As I was hugging Eeyore, someone else came to visit me, and you'll never guess who! We looked up and saw the Mad Hatter sitting on our table drinking his usual tea!
MAD HATTER: Would you care for a cup of tea?
STEPH: Maybe later.
Eeyore wished me luck as I returned to my band to play Heat Of The Moment by Asia:
I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
A look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe the smile right from my face
Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidents arose from circumstance?
One thing led to another, we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes
And now you find yourself in '82
The disco hot-spots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings
'Cause it's the heat of the moment
The heat of the moment
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes
And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone?
What were the things you wanted for yourself?
Teenage ambition you remember well
It was the heat of the moment
Telling you what your heart meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes
It was the heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Meanwhile, Izzy is hanging out in Cinderella Castle when Janna Connor approached him.
IZZY: Hi. Anything I can do for ya?
JANNA: Maybe. I was wondering, can you do a guitar battle?
IZZY: Can I do a guitar battle?! You bet! I've won them all over the country!
JANNA: Then I bet you can challenge Guitar Hero's newest band member.
IZZY: You mean Steph?
JANNA: You're not going to disappoint me are you?
IZZY: I won't let you down. (thinking) How can I beat that magic guitar of her's?
Soon, we went back onstage to play Holy Diver by Dio:
Hmm mmmm
Yeah, yeah
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away
Holy Diver
Yeah
Got shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Look out
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right
Gotta get away
Get away
Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel (yeah)
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel, say
Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump, jump, jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
No, no
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away
Get Away
Gotta get away
Get away (yeah)
Holy Diver, sole survivor
You're the one who's clean
Holy Diver, Holy Diver
There's a cat in the blue coming after you, Holy Diver
Oh Holy Diver
Yeah
All right
Get away, get away, get away
Holy Diver
Holy Diver
Oh Holy Diver
Hmm mmmm
STEPH: I hope that was our encore! I'm getting tired!
BOB: Then you'll be too tired for the after party.
When we went backstage, I was just about to crash on the couch when I saw Izzy sitting there.
IZZY: Steph Dale, I challenge you to a guitar battle!
STEPH: What?! I don't what a guitar battle is!
LEO: I knew this was coming!
MINNIE: What is a guitar battle?
SCRUFFY: It's when two guitarists play a part in a song and whoever plays the best solo wins.
AXEL: Only this ain't no friendly duel! You have to fight dirty to win this guitar battle.
JOHNNY: Izzy, Steph will accept your match.
JUDY: Only we're all going to guide her through the lines because she doesn't have any guitar battle training.
IZZY: All right. But I'm sure she should've learned it by now!
AXEL: She hasn't been with us long and this is her first concert! Can't you see she's nerved up enough as it is?
JESSICA: Why would Izzy wanna challenge Steph to a guitar battle?
LEO: I don't know and we're gonna find out. What do you think, Sax?
SAX: (seeing Janna Connor, a strange woman in the crowd) I have a sneaky feeling someone else is behind this.
While Leo, Jessica, Scruffy, Bob, Sax, Abigail and Sprite see Janna sneaking off and follow her, I was getting ready to have a mental breakdown in my body!
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, the Guitar Heroes are going to show you how a Guitar Battle is done. Demonstrating are Steph Dale and Izzy Sparks.
IZZY: We're going to show our newest member of Guitar Hero the ropes of death!
SORA: (peeking from backstage) I don't like where this is going.
RIKU: There's no way she's going to pull this off.
MICKEY: I just hope Axel and the others know what they're doing.
AXEL: Steph, switch your Star Power setting to Battle Power. There should be a switch on the back of your guitar.
STEPH: (hits the switch) I was wondering what this was for!
JUDY: Battle Power allows you to attack your opponent. Acquiring it is just like getting Star Power. Play every note that the letter B shows up on.
I did what Judy told me and played green, yellow, red and green. Then I saw what looked like a lighting bolt symbol appear on the slider.
JOHNNY: That's an amp overload attack. It will overload your opponent's amp. To unleash it, aim the neck at your opponent and press the button between the guitar and bass setting to fire.
I did what Johnny told me and overloaded Izzy's amp making it harder for him to play notes.
IZZY: Not bad. But there are different types of attacks. Some make it harder to play notes and some require you to fix your guitar. Can you fix a broken string, or should I say, a broken fret button?
Izzy fired his broken string attack at me and the red fret button broke!
AXEL: Here, put this on your broken fret! (throws a red cap to me)
I quickly put the cap on my broken fret and the red fret button worked just like new! Izzy acquired an amp overload attack and fired it at me and while my guitar sounded funny, I managed to pick up a double note attack and fired it at him.
Elsewhere, Leo, Jessica, Scruffy, Bob, Sax, Abigail and Sprite followed Janna into Main Street U.S.A. and into a closed off area.
JESSICA: That's one of the girls who went to our school.
BOB: What's she doing here?
SAX: I think this woman is bad news. I bet she was the one who tempted Izzy to duel Steph in a guitar battle.
ABIGAIL: She's going into that building where a lion statue is.
Janna pushed a button on the lion's nose and it moved backwards revealing a secret passage. She went down into a portal into Dark World into her secret lair where the Disney Villains were waiting and transformed back into Devil Heart.
DEVIL HEART: My plan is working perfectly! With the Character Tamer distracted by a dumb blond, I can capture those Disney do-gooders by surprise. Release the Hell Hound!
The Disney Villains pulled a lever and out came a giant black dog with red eyes and snarling teeth.
DEVIL HEART: Use your nose to sniff out those Disney heroes and bring them to me!
The monster dog obeyed and ran out the portal and came out into the park right before Sax's and the others' eyes and ran towards Cinderella Castle. People thought the dog was part of the attraction as they saw him run by.
LEO: We gotta chase after it before it does any damage!
In some trees near Fantasyland, Bambi, Thumper and Flower were playing as usual when they spotted Leo and the gang chasing after the giant dog.
THUMPER: That looks like one of Man's dogs, but bigger.
FLOWER: It's headed for Steph's concert!
BAMBI: We'd better warn her!
The woodland creatures ran from the bushes all the way to the stage and stopped Izzy and me from our guitar duel.
THUMPER: Stop the concert! Stop the concert!
STEPH: What's the matter?
BAMBI: There's a giant dog running lose!
FLOWER: Look!
We all looked and saw the evil dog heading our way! It was just like the giant dogs I see in my dreams and reminded me of painting of monsters I sometimes see in certain places!
MICKEY: Everyone get in the castle!
STEPH: I'm going to fight the dog!
DONALD: Are you crazy?!
CALVIN: He'll rip you to shreds!
STEPH: Someone has to do something!
VOICE: At least let us help you!
I look up to see Aladdin and Jasmine flying towards the stage on a magic carpet.
ALADDIN: We were rehearsing for a show in Adventureland when Carpet saw that beast running around.
MICKEY: Someone will have to distract the dog while we think of a way to get it out of the park!
PANDORA: I'll try to trap it in my box of demons!
STEPH: (taking out her gun) I'll have to knock it out with Holy Water!
JASMINE: Steph, we'll fly you to the head of the dog and you can spray it in the face.
ALADDIN: That way it'll be stunned so Pandora can do her thing.
STEPH: Got it! Let's go!
BAMBI: Good luck!
Calvin, Hobbes, Pandora and I mounted on the magic carpet with Aladdin and Jasmine and flew into the street where Sax and the others were holding it off. The dog growled a roar as it saw us coming. Sax shot lighting bolts out of his whiskers to keep the dog at bay as Pandora landed. The dog spewed a fireball at us hitting a nearby bush. I had to spray some Holy Water to put the fire out and I hoped I had enough left to hit the dog. While Leo and the others were dodging it's huge paws, we positioned ourselves in front of the beast and it started biting at us, startling Calvin and Hobbes causing them to fall off the carpet. Luckily, Scruffy and Bob caught them before the dog had a chance to bite! The dog jumped up on it's hind legs and stomped it's front paws making the ground vibrate and blowing Sax, Abigail, Sprite, Leo, Jessica, Scruffy, Bob, Pandora, Calvin and Hobbes off their feet and rolled a few times on the ground. Then as I positioned the carpet at a distance from the dog's head, it started spewing a black mast at us so we had to move behind it's head to get out of the way. Then, we see Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Sora flying with pixie dust with Tinker Bell and one of her friends, Rosetta (a red-headed flower fairy dressed in a pink and black dress, pink bracelets with matching leg warmers, white tights and black shoes) at their side.
SORA: Need some help?
STEPH: That would be nice!
MICKEY: Sora, strike the beast behind it's head with your keyblade.
Sora does so which stunned the dog and gave me a chance to spray it in the face with holy water. It screamed in pain and Pandora opened her demon box, said her incantation and the giant demon dog got sucked into the box. When Pandora closed the box, everyone cheered for us. With all the Disney characters gathered together, I took this chance to use Star Power to remove the spell book magic from them so Devil Heart won't be able to capture them.
Back onstage at Cinderella Castle...
MICKEY: Thus, I hereby dub thee, Junior Members of the Disney Community for saving the park from disaster and removing this dangerous power from us, making Disney's characters safe again.
CALVIN: Hey! What do you mean "Junior Members"?!
DONALD: You're still in training so you still have a long way to go.
MICKEY: Donald's right. Being official members isn't a race. It's a journey.
SORA: It's like working your way to the top.
STEPH: I think it's like getting grades at school and earning your next karate belt.
MICKEY: Exactly!
Then Mickey calls upon two toy characters: Woody, a cowboy with brown hair and dressed in a brown cowboy hat, a black bandana around his neck, a red shirt, a yellow vest, a silver star badge, blue jeans with a brown belt, holster and yellow buckle and black boots. And Jessie, a cowgirl with red hair tied back in a braid and dressed in black, white and silver. They took my hand and put in a Disney license.
STEPH: Thank you.
JESSIE: Yer welcome.
WOODY: It sure took a lot of courage to face a ferocious beast like that!
MICKEY: Say, where's Izzy Sparks?
RIKU: He just took off to Main Street U.S.A.
STEPH: Oh no.
AXEL: C'mon. We gotta chase him down.
Mickey and the gang took us to Main Street U.S.A. on a horse carriage and searched around for Izzy until we found him near one of the pay phones. I hopped off and ran to him followed by Axel and Leo.
LEO: What's the big deal, Izzy?
IZZY: I screwed up! I never should've listened to Janna Connor!
STEPH: Hey, everyone makes mistakes.
IZZY: Don't you get it?! I caused a giant dog to get out of Dark World and nearly got you killed and Disney World destroyed! It's all my fault!
AXEL: Don't put yourself down, man.
STEPH: I wasn't born well-behaved like I am now. I stole a bookmark from the school book fair once when I was in elementary school and said the s-word to my teachers when I was in 2nd grade. I was very selfish when I was in 5th grade and set school riots against my brother and sister and I acted really badly as a teenager. It was worse when I was 15! Even today, I'm still acting like a teenager! I think it's because I had a lot of bad teachers at school. Life was hard for people with autism back then.
LEO: People at work even treated her bad, all because of her autism!
AXEL: See, even our little angel was a devil once. You gotta learn to let things go and let bygones be bygones.
STEPH: Besides, I forgive you and consider you my friend. If it weren't for you, I never would've known what Guitar Battles were.
IZZY: Really?
STEPH: The honest to God truth!
Suddenly, Mickey and friends and the rest of the band join up with us.
MICKEY: See what I mean about being Junior Members? There are some things you must learn before reaching to the top. And learning from your mistakes helps you clear your path.
SAX: And you must always forgive each other and other people, no matter how much they hurt you.
SORA: We're all searching for our light in the darkness and I know we'll find it.
IZZY: Since you've put it that way, I'll stick around.
MICKEY: That's the spirit!
CALVIN: Just no more evil black dogs, okay?
All of a sudden, this happy service dog (which is a black German Shepard) walks right behind Calvin and sniffs his back. When Calvin turns around to see what it is, he screams and runs all the way to Fantasyland! The dog was left stumped while the rest of us were left laughing.
HOBBES: I guess Calvin's got a new pet peeve!
