THE LEGEND OF TOON PARK - Part I
            by Erik McDarby  (erikmouse@yahoo.com)
            (based upon a dream)

	One day in the Living Room, me and my family were planing a trip to this new
park. "Lets go to this new park called 'Toon Park'", said my dad and everyone agreed.
Then, we decided to have dinner and we went to bed early. 
	 The next day, me and my family got ready. And, then we went out to the van
and left for 'Toon Park'. An hour and a half later, we got to 'Toon Park'. We got out of
the van and went into 'Toon Park'. Then, we spent the day having fun there. While we
were sitting down somewhere, an announcement came on a radio that said, "We
interrupt this program to bring you this special bulletin, a hurricane warning has just
been issued for this area. Everyone is advised to leave the area at once." My family and
I started to get up. "We have to leave now", said my dad. "I'm going to stay for a little
bit while you head for the van", I said. And, the rest of my family left. After I wondered
around a bit, I saw that I was the only one left in the park. Then, I decided to leave the
park. As I started to leave, a little blue guy that looks like a bunny came up to me and
said, "Don't go, I need you help with a water gun on the 'Water Works' ride. Come with
us!". 
	As the little blue guy was talking, I saw some other characters like mice,
coyotes, other bunnies, a fox and others. Then, I have decided to follow them. As I was
following them, I somehow lost them. I decided to head for the parking lot. But,
instead of seeing my family in the van, I saw someone racing a go-cart in circles on the
parking lot. Then, I have tried to cut him off in the pass. As I was about to cut him off
in the pass, the little blue guy shows up again saying, "Please don't go!" Then, I was
back with the group. I follow the group passed a closed baseball toss game where you
have to get the baseball in the basket to win a prize. 
	Then, I somehow lost the group again and went out the exit door. I saw that it
was getting dark and I went back out to the parking lot. I found my family waiting in
the van, got into the van, and started to explain why I took a long time to come. Then,
my father said, "You are telling me a story. Never mind why you were late, lets get
going. We headed into a tunnel, but the tunnel was a lot smaller than it was before, and
we hit. I looked out the window and saw the little blue guy, he said, "I'll remove the
tunnel". Then, he lifted the tunnel with a crane or something and we started again. As
we were moving again, with hit a red light and stopped. I looked out the car window
and saw the little blue guy again, he said, "Please come back!". I decided to get to the
bottom of this and got out of the car. Then, As I was heading for the tunnel, the little
blue guy came to me and said, "Put these on". He gave me a pair of 'Mickey Mouse'
shoes and a pair of 'Four Fingered' gloves. Then, I put them on and enter back into the
park. It was already dark and I started to see street lights already coming on. Then, the
little blue guy said, "My friends and I have tooking care of the water gun problem.
When you family comes for you, I want you to take some plushies as souvenirs. They
are yours for free because you have been a good sport for listening to me. I have to be
going now". Then, the little blue guy disappeared. 
	Suddenly, my family comes back for me in the van. Then, my dad said angrily,
"Take that stuff off, I don't know where you found it! And, lets get going, NOW!! The
storm winds are starting to pick up." I took the stuff off and started to come. But, then
I remembered the souvenirs and started to walk off. Then, my dad said, "Get back here,
NOW!!". I started to explain and my dad said, "Stories again". I said, "I'll come back, I
promise. I want to get some souvenirs because someone wanted me to have them for
free". "Okay", said my dad, "But, hurry up! We don't want to get caught in the
hurricane". Then, I started to walk inside. As I was walking, I found plushies. I started
to take something, but then realizing that some of the plushies look exactly like the
charaters I was with. They were even the same size as the real characters. Then, I have
found all the characters that I was with except the little blue guy. Suddenly, my dad
comes along and said, "Its time to go! I now understand that you were after souvenirs.
Thats why I'm no longer mad at you." I said, "Wait, I'm looking for one more. It is a
little blue bunny." 
	Then, my dad starts to look around, but could not find it. "You have a lot of
large plushies there, you don't need another one. I will help you carry some of them",
he said. As I and my dad started carring the large plushies, I noticed something. It was
the little blue guy. I picked him up and headed for the van while it was getting very
windy. I went into the back of the van with the plushies and we started moving. We
went out of the park and back out on the road. We went through a city and got back on
the highway. Then, I started talking to my siater. I said, "When I was at the park, these
characters were alive." "Nice!", said my sister as see fell asleep. Then, I watched the
headlights go over me, my sleeping sister, and the plushies. Suddenly, the little blue guy
gets up and said while laying on my lap, "Thank you, you have saved us from a terrible
slavory. We could never leave because when humans come along, we turn into plushies.
But, nobody wanted to take us home, so thats why we needed your help. You were the
only one who believed and took the time to listen. Thank you for taking souvenirs, I am
Buster Bunny. I will explain more to you later." Then, he turns back to a plushie. I
started to watch the headlights go over me, my sleeping sister, and the plushies.  
	We traveled for another half hour and we were home. I got out of the van and
my dad and I carried the plushies to my room. "I see that you found that last plushie
you were looking for", my dad said. As I started to get to my room, it started to rain
hard against my window and was really windy. Me and my dad placed the plushies
down by my wall and he said, "Good night". He closed my door, and I suddenly heard
thunder and saw lightening. As I went to turn the light off and go to bed, Buster Bunny
gets up again and said, "Thank you for taking us for souvenirs. The reason why we
wanted to leave is that the mean 'Toon Master' wanted to make slaves out of us. And,
thanks to you, we are now free. We will always be here with you to play with you. The
only way we could leave the park is becoming plushies. But, no one wanted to take us
except you. The reason I didn't want you to leave yet was because I wanted you to take
us for souvenirs. I apologize for getting your dad mad and having you put on 'Mickey
Mouse' shoes and four fingered gloves. It was the only way to get you back in the park
undetected.". "Apology excepted, I really like you guys. Can I meet your friends?", I
said. "Sure, I'll get them up", said Buster Bunny. Then, he went over and got the others
up. 
	"I want you to meet Babs Bunny, this pink bunny", said Buster Bunny. "Hey,
I'm free", said Babs Bunny. "Then, a light brown bunny said, "Thank you, I'm Ivan
Bunny. Then, a light brown mouse, a light grey mouse, and a grey mouse got up and
the light brown mouse said, "Thank you, I'm Erik Mouse, the light grey mouse is
Jeffrey Mouse, and the grey mouse is David Mouse." Then, a pig came over and said,
"Thank you, I'm Hamton Pig and this green duck is Plucky Duck." Then, a white bunny
came over and said, "Thank you, I'm Edmond Bunny. I was forced to be part of the
security. The grey brown coyote is Ryan Coyote and the grey coyote is Calamity
Coyote. Then, a brown fox came over and said, "Thank you, I'm Jink Fox, the orange
cat is Heathcliff Cat, and the Pink Bunny that looks like Babs Bunny is Lizi Bunny.
Then, a yellow bunny came over and said, "Thank you, I'm Linda Bunny, the dark
brown bear is Sandra Bear, and the dark brown mouse with the red shirt is Fievel
Mouse." Finally the last guy, a grey blue cat, came over and said, "Thank you, I'm
Furrball Cat. Then, Buster Bunny came back over and said, "Those were mind friends. I
hope that 'Toon Master' isn't looking for us now". "Naah, Theres a really bad storm
out.", I said. 
	Meanwhile, at 'Toon Master's Mansion' outside of Toon Park, 'Toon Master'
said, "Linda Bunny, bring me my dinner". Linda Bunny did not show. "What, Linda
Bunny, where are you? Okay then, Plucky Duck, bring me my dinner", continued 'Toon
Master'. But, Plucky Duck did not show either. "WHAT, Where are they, they better
not have found a way to escape. I will find them.", said 'Toon Master' again. 
	Back with me, I finally went to sleep.  -
