As the school bell rings, students files out the classroom. Lydia does a little
dance with light mood on the corridor, and goes student restaurant. But she finds out
someone is sitting on their usual seat.
When she wants to peek who he is, Ed takes a sip of his milk tea find and says hi
to her. After that, Oz comes, too.
Oz sits down and says, ”Is Violet late again?”
Lydia shots a glance without choice to him and says, ”She is nothing but a lady
moves like a turtle.”
Ed is obnoxious about it, “Could you not be so harsh to her?”
Lydia hisses at him, ”It’s the truth, don’t get mad at me!” The atmosphere stop at
this bad mood, then they do their own things to pass the time when they are waiting
Violet.
After thirty minutes, Violet comes at last. She apologizes to them, and starts to
discuss today’s extra homework.
Violet says with a small voice, “Today’s topic is The Chain of Love, what
material do you want to use in our short film? “
Oz, the man who most like to flatter others says,” Teacher Mandy likes the
matter of friendship, forgive, or peace. We can find the subject of these.”
Lydia decorates her finger nails and says,” Why do we always cater for teacher’s
taste? We can adapt the Snow White, and I would like to act princess.”
Ed says,” Teacher wants us create our own story, so we can’t adapt any story.
Futhermore, I want to compose a story of true love.”
” It’s a work not your own dream!” Oz pipes up.
The opinions are different in those four people, and they are quarreling furiously.
While Ed pumps his fists in the air, Violet tries hard to stop the fighting.
Suddenly they find they become four blocks of soap!
They don’t know what happened, and they stare at their body and scrunch their
face in a weird feeling. And they are not at school anymore.
They stand in front of the gate of Tokuyo Disney Land, and they find
themselves become soaps only.
Violet says with fright,” Why do we become these slick things? It’s hard to stand
stably.”
And Lydia clenches her fists and says,” How terrible it is? Look at this comical
shape!”
When the girls are anguished, Ed notices a couple strolling past, the girl clings
the boy’s arm. They are planning what they want to play in theme park excitingly, not
noticing the four confused soaps completely. And he tells everybody that nobody can
see them.
Oz claps his hands and says,” It’s so great that we can play like each other and
we don’t need to buy tickets.”
Hearing the idea of Oz, they decide to play in the Disney. But when they step one
step, everybody slip at the same time because their feet are so smooth.
After a long time, they finally arrive at the entrance.
When they want to go in, Lydia screams aloud. They turn round to see what
happened, but she disappears.
Violet says in horror,” Is it a kidnap?” “But nobody can see us, can’t they?” says
Oz.
Suddenly, a person covered with a black cloth on face scratches Lydia, showing
up over them.
The person says,” If you want to save her, you have to break the puzzle hidden in
Disney which designed by me, ha ha ha~”
They feel their heart sink, because the bad guy kidnaps Lydia. They only find out
the puzzle and they can save Lydia.
Then, a piece of paper floats down from the place where the person standed.
There is a sentence: To infinity and beyond.
Violet says in confuse,” Isn’t the lines of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story?”
When they step a harsh step, they think why the person give them a line in carton?
Finally they arrive the square, sitting and taking a break.
Violet turns and asks Ed in childlike,” We just need to yell the sentence, and you
will solve the question?”
Ed rubs his face and says,” How could it be so simple? Not to mention that he
said the answers are hidden in Disney. Besides, there is an unknown number 100
written under the sentence.”
As they are discussing, Oz is researching the map of park to find something fun.
When he sees the ride which named Star Trek, flashing in front of his eyelids, it is the
answer!
So they break into a trot immediately. But when they arrive, don’t see any things
like the correct answer.
Violet and Ed are finding seriously, Oz goes to take up the toy gun and play the
ride. Seeing he doesn’t help to find, Ed is very annoyed, when he wants to rob his gun
and stop him, he sees the toys in the machine are not Buzz Lightyear but the person’s
toys, he takes the gun to help him together.
But it is a hard thing to catch the gun stably because of smooth hands. And an
hour has passed, but they hit five toys in maximum at a time. Therefore, they decide
to catch a gun together. One is responsible for shooting, the other keep the gun stable.
After this cooperation, they can shoot 70 toys at once, but the next puzzle hasn’t
appeared. Then Ed thinks of the unknown number and he tells Oz,” We must shoot
100 toys at least, this puzzle will be solved.”
So they shoot harder, and reach the goal finally. The next puzzle floats down in
the air, too.
This time, the sentence on the paper is: volcano can not spray the magma.
Having the experience in last time, they pore through the map, searching the ride
which accords to the clue. They decide to go to Splash Mountain.
But the way to Splash Mountain is a uphill way, it is very difficult for them. If
they step up one, they will slip down three steps. And the scorching sun left on them,
the melting soap makes them walk harder.
They arrive the ride at last, but Violet finds the shape decrease one size!
She says,” We forget we are soaps now, if we are under the sunshine too long we
will disappear before we save Lydia.”
Ed nodes and says,” And the Splash Mountain is the ride with water, we should
be more careful to avoid we keep becoming small.”
They buy three rain coats each person to wrap themselves tight to avoid melting.
The smooth body let them slip out the car of roller coaster when it turns many times.
But they don’t be thrown out fortunately. Arrive the exit, the paper floats down again.
The words on the paper are: Disoriented Alice.
Violet points on the map, says,” Here is a The Afternoon Tea of Alice. It’s a
coffee cup. I think this is the correct answer.”
Ed points others and says,” But the Tiny World is about Alice in Wonderland, too.
And it is the roller coaster.”
Oz let out a hoot of laughter,” We can play them all!”
Then Violet and Ed turn together and yelled,” We have no time!” And they
decide go to coffee cup first.
Before go to play, they talk over the way how can keep them from throwing out
of the coffee cup. And Violet thinks they can wrap themselves with a cloth, it can
increase the friction between them and the cup.
After buying the cloth, they go to the coffee cup. When they the ride finish, they
don’t see the paper.
Dragging the tried body, they go to the Tiny World with the last glimmer of hope.
Miraculously, the person and Lydia are in front of them.
“ You have solve all puzzles, I will return your companion to you.” The person
disappears after he says.
Lydia sees they are such exhausting, she trots to them with worries. And four
people hug together.
And Lydia cries and says,” I watched your all process. I was so sharp and unkind
to you, but you still do these hard things for saving me. I feel really sorry to you all!”
After experience this trip, they have many words to say to each other. But Violet,
Ed and Oz’s bodies become smaller and smaller.
Before they disappear, they say at the same time to Violet,” Mix us together, we
are all friends forever and ever!”
The bell of the next class wakes Ed up, he remembers they are discussing the
work but they fight to furiously and fall asleep. And then he wakes other three people
up to get ready for next class.
