Joyful music filled the air. Colorful lights painted beautiful patterns against the darkening evening sky. A long line of tourists waited anxiously, impatiently to step into the world-famous theme park known as Pilaf-Land. Kids and adults alike were giddy with glee. Their sparkling eyes gazed past the gate, catching glimpses of the amazing rides. Carousels, roller coasters, bumper cars and much, much more! Costumed mascots pranced about, singing theme tunes and greeting visitors. Some people chose to dress up as well, wearing red star hats and pointy ears. There was something for everyone. In this tiny world full of wonder, no one stood out as an odd sight.
Not even someone in a full witch getup.
A short and lean figure stepped through the gate. Dressed in dark robes and a wide-brimmed hat, the young lady indeed looked like a witch right out of a story book. Yet no one looked at her twice. In fact, a gaggle of school children in similar outfits sprinted past her towards a cotton candy stall. Unlike them, however, she was the real deal. She was a true practitioner of magic, a proud witch of the Nevermore clan. ...Aaaand she was hopelessly lost. Her usually icy expression had melted into a puddle of bewilderment. She had come here after hearing that this was a land where magic never ends. Only now it occurred to her that she may have misunderstood the meaning.
So why did Lilith stay then...? To be honest, she wasn’t quite sure herself. Perhaps it was the fact that she had already paid a fee to enter this... this... ridiculous fantasy land. Leaving now would’ve been a waste of her time and her money, neither of which she had in excess. But... Maybe there was another reason too... Deep down, something stirred. A simple, childish desire. She quickly shook her head and snuffed out the idea. Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. Why would she ever want to feel like a child again? Hmph! Her childhood was long lost already...
A sudden shove snapped the witch out of her grim thoughts. Turns out standing in the middle of a busy entrance was not the smartest idea. Go figure. First, a couple of kids nearly bowled her over in a mad dash towards the rides. Then, someone elbowed her aside, earning a muttered curse. As a result, she staggered backwards, nearly falling over. She bumped right into someone just entering the park. That was the last straw. Glancing over her shoulder, she shot a toxic glare at the stranger. “Watch where you are walking, you clumsy oaf.” She was going to demand an apology too!

As the witch girl turn around, she would be met with the stranger...'s right leg. She would have to look up to see the being's full scale. An 8 foot tall suit of armour, towering over the rest of the crowd. Most of the kids pointed excitedly at it, thinking it was some sort of attraction. As the frustrated witch insulted it, the mettalic goliath looked down at her, it's visor glowing with a blue colour "Oh. Apologies little one. I often have trouble not bumping into people amongst crowds like these" it said with a booming voice.
Blizzard was continuing her escapades through pilaf-land. After some failed missions she felt tired and discouraged. Even when she impersonated colossus, she still fell back to her old habits, which she thought caused her to fail at everything. As she wanteder around, she noticed a particularly big crowd had gathered around the gate leading to the main park 'hmm. might as well give it a try' she thought. This planet's entertainment habits were still a mystery to her after all. The frost demon tried to ignore the stares while she approached as her colossal altery ego, most people making way as she got in line. Keyword "most". She'd almost gone through before bumping into a girl in a witch outfit. Not knowing how to react in situations like this, she simply stood still as the girl turned around and insulted her. Under normal circuimstances, Blizzard would be profusely apologising by now. But at the moment, colossus had appearances to uphold. Thus the reserved, prideful apology the mettalic warrior delivered. Meanwhile, Blizzard hoped it was enough, and then the girl would either get intimidated at the sight of the giant, or appeased by it's apology. If it was one thing Blizzard didn't handle well, that was confrontation

Lilith’s glare climbed up the mountain before her, until it reached the helmet resting at the summit. Despite the outright comical difference in size, her angry expression didn’t even waver. As she hadn’t inherited her mother’s statuesque height, she was used to looking up at the world. Size meant nothing to a witch. So she silently assured herself every single time she looked into a mirror... Pushing the thought aside, she steeled herself. She refused to be intimidated by a mere knight. And she was going nowhere before she received a proper apology!
Unfortunately, the offered apology failed to defuse the situation. If anything, it was a spark for the imaginary powder keg. The witch fell silent. Her eye twitched. Frown deepened. “Pardon...?” Oh, she had heard the towering peasant just fine... She simply couldn’t believe her ears. “Just who, pray tell, are you calling little one?” Venom dripped from each word. Without giving the poor soul a chance to answer the rhetorical question, she puffed her petite chest proudly. “I am Lady Lilith Nevermore, the heir of the Nevermore witch clan.” Her pale finger aimed a sharp point at the armored figure. “And you shall address me with the respect my noble bloodline deserves.” Her voice chimed like a silver bell, clear, pure and oh so very cold.
After a moment of tense silence, the surrounding crowd suddenly started applauding. Some openly praised Pilaf Land for the funny live-action sequences. Cheekier souls quickly hurried next to the costumed duo to snap quick selfies. The cheering caught the noblewoman completely off-guard. Her pointing finger drooped and pompous posture deflated. A heavy sigh escaped between her sharp teeth. It was slowly beginning to sink in what manner of ridiculous realm she had just entered... Tch, no matter! Gathering her resolve, she pressed the matter. “Kneel and apologize this instant, lest you wish to spend the rest of your days as a newt.” Oh yes, she was dead serious with her unconventional threat. ...Granted, she had never cursed something so big. Or heavily armored.

Tiger Lily arrived at the park as soon as it opened, she was dressed to leave Pilaf Land temporarily to meet Cayle, Konja, and Achido at the pier to go to Ensalada Island around mid-afternoon. As a major fan of Emperor Pilaf, she had been going to the park almost everyday, and while her boyfriend and friends went with her there were times she went alone because something else held them back. In this instance, Cayle was sorting matters with the Island trip, and Achido had not responded to her text after they went to Marshmallow Summit; an artificial snow attraction north of the main Pilaf theme park.
A crowd began to gather at the entrance of the park, Ty was on her way to the gift shop before going on any more rides, she thought it best to get out of the way since there was endless amounts of fun to be had to forget such things, but her curiosity got the best of her as she pushed through it to see a scene unfold between a teenage witch and a behemoth of a robot. Ocean teal eyes peered at mauve colored teenage girl, she blinked a few times wondering why her appearance looked so familiar, and then she had her ah-ha moment.
“Are you cosplaying baba yaga?” The redhead said out loud, even going as far as pointing at Lilith, she did not hear the introduction from the start of the conflict, but she spoke her mind none-the-less.
Baba Yaga was one of the many characters in the Pilaf Cartoons, who also had a forest named after her in the Western lands, and the way Lilith was dressed was all the same except for the massive crystal ball to hold her up in mid air. With a smile, she watched the scene unfold, unaware that none of it was an act in the first place. The half human teenager was dressed mostly in black, with an adorable black hat with cat ears on top, the only two garments that were not black was her grey knit vest, and powder blue hoodie. [351]

With his disastrous job interview of the previous day behind him, Beruto was following mister Bass' advice and had decided to try and enjoy himself for the next couple of days. Dressed once again in his red life guard trunks, the red haired teen paid a visit first to the water park section of Pilaf Land and rode the few water slides he had missed the previous day. Sufficiently drenched and with his fiery hair being as unruly as ever, the shirtless teen made his way towards the park proper. There was the slightest possibility that he might not get through the gates wearing just swimming trunks and water shoes, but as luck would have it, a sufficiently large distraction was provided in the form of a huge metal being in line ahead of him.
Standing in line behind the giant armored robot, Beruto was consumed with the decidedly childish temptation to knock on the thing just to see if it was hollow or if someone was actually inside it. He thought better of it though as the line moved sporadically towards the gate and before lone they would be inside. He thought it best not to annoy his giant, walking distraction until after they were inside the park. That thankfully came fairly quickly, but before the shirtless teen could satisfy his curiosity, the walking suit of armor collided with someone else while he was getting past the ticket agent. Beruto didn't see the actual collision, but he certainly heard the aftermath as the woman started to threaten the robot in no uncertain terms.
Stepping around the huge suit of armor, Beruto put a face to the voice, a lady in a witch costume as far as he could tell, and she was taking her character way too seriously. Still it was amusing to watch the comparatively tiny lady threaten the giant robot so he stood there a moment chuckling at the scene. That is until another young lady appeared on the scene, one who the boy half recognized. It wasn't until she spoke that Beruto fully realized that the girl in the fake cat ears was the same one who had shanghaied Kite and him into a film production in Orange Star City some time ago. He had the dubious honor of fighting the hero in the climax of the production, and to be launched from the stage, only to be caught by the girl as she had somehow mastered the ability to fly.
“I've never seen a robot turned into a newt before. Can I watch?” the teen laughed, looking at the possibly crazy witch lady and then took a quick moment to wave at Ty and add. “Oh hey! It's been a while.”

To say Blizzard was freaking out would be something of an understatement. More of a crowd was gathering around them, and the witch girl was not backing down. If anything, she got more and mortified up by the second. The only thing saving her right now was that her breakdown was masked by colossus' emotionless exterior. But how long could she hide like this before everyone noticed that something was off?. This was bad, this was bad, this was ba-... did she just say she was nobility?
Blizzard's panic attack somewhat subsided at that, seemingly superseded by a feeling of anger. Hr race had quite the thing for nobility. People bossing other people around simply because they were lucky enough to have a recognizable last name. She didn't like that. No, she didn't like that at all. As Blizzard, she always lowered her head and let nature run its course. But now, she wasn't so sure she should. And besides, right now she wasn't blizzard "Huh?. So you mean to say I should be intimidated of a name?. Very well then, let me give you mine. I am colossus, the immovable. Warrior of one thousand years, Hell's core, the invincible one, Guardian... Now, wanna weight whose name matters more, Little one?" Blizzard made every single one of those up on the spot. But that didn't matter right now, this armour set was worthy of carrying all these names. And besides, giving the girl a taste of her own medicine might do her good. Blizzard was scared, terrified even. But she was not gonna back down. Not from this one...

Twitch... Twitch, twitch... Annoyance tugged at the corner of Lilith’s mouth, deepening her sharp frown. Clearly none of these ill-mannered hayseeds knew her identity. Oh how she missed the days when the villagers would tremble upon hearing her name. However, her frustration had to make way for confusion when someone mentioned a familiar name. She turned towards the red-headed teenager. “You there, peasant girl. How do you know the grand witch Baba? And what is this... cos-play you speak of? Explain.” Her curiosity towards this new knowledge softened the usually icy tone. Still, she was dead set on treating the stranger like a child, despite the minimal age difference.
Another voice entered the fray, drawing the young lady’s attention. As soon as she saw the boy, her nose wrinkled with disdain. She knew exactly what kind of person would dress like that... “Keep your thoughts to yourself, you stinky beggar. Do not think I will take pity on you just because you are too poor to afford proper clothing. Or even a bath.” ...Aaaand the misunderstanding was complete. She couldn’t even fathom that someone would willingly go around without a shirt. In her eyes, it was the most obvious sign of poverty. The rest of the prejudice followed like a line of dominoes.
Finally the witch turned her attention back onto the original source of the problem... Who still brazenly refused to apologize! The provocation was met with a huff. “Clearly mine.” Not even a hint of hesitation. She puffed her chest again, summoning the kind of pompous air most nobles wished they had. “I am the culmination of a bloodline that bends the very fabric of the reality to our whims.” The sharp point returned with a vengeance. “You are a glorified farmhand who simply happened to pick up a sword instead of a hoe.” She folded her arms and allowed herself a smug smile. “There really is no contest.” With that, she once again waited for that apology. Not because she had any doubts or trouble casting that curse... She was just... being merciful, yes.
Meanwhile, people were sharing whispers, amazed and amused how well the witch cosplayer stayed in character. Several phones were now recording. No doubt this scene too would end up on a certain video sharing site... Buuut perhaps the title would be something more playful and positive this time around. This was the land of magic after all.

It was perplexing to discern the situation, at some point Ty was perceptive enough to understand that Lilith was confused but when she returned to belittling the massive robot again, she was back into a comical skit in the public eye. All she could do is answer the strange question, “She is in the Emperor Pilaf cartoons, the castle at the center of the theme park is a museum and it has videos of it on the walls, she has the same color hair and clothes as you...a toothy grin and a giant crystal ball. Baba Yaga has a forest named after her south of Oolong City, but I have been told that people our age should not venture there.”
Oolong city was sin city after all, it was obscene for teenagers like themselves to be exposed to that kind of environment too early in their lives, a place like Pilaf Land was a safe place for them all to find a variety of entertainment while retaining their innocence. A recognizable fiery red head emerged from the crowd and greeted Ty, it had been a while since they were hired to be an Orange Star city commercial, and she waved at him looking past his shoulder expecting Kite to be nearby.
“Hi Beruto, it is good to see you again.” Ty noticed the water drops that were beginning to dry up on his exposed skin, “Ah neat, this park is huge, so I have not tried the water park yet, I bet it is a great work out.”
Ocean teal eyes looked away to search the crowd again, “Is Kite at the park too? Pilaf land has amazing food, I am sure he would enjoy it all.”
Lilith then called Beruto a stinky beggar for being partly dressed which turned her head away from the conversation of Kite. “Hey, that isn’t very nice, you cranky hag.” Tiger Lily grinned, she figured she should follow along with the act, that everyone stood by and watched the spectacle being part of the theme park. She turned to Beruto slightly, “She is pretty good at acting like Baba Yaga. Have you seen the pilaf cartoons, Beruto?”
The children in the crowd were giggling, while others filmed the scenario unfold, and Colossus did not kneel as directed, it outright refused to. Based on its large stature, it appeared that it was mechanically impossible to kneel down, perhaps with one knee, and its large arms leaned forward it could imitate a kneel, otherwise all the components appeared that it must remain upright to keep balanced. Lilith promised to use her magic in retaliation the moment she used that the veil over everyone’s eyes would be removed, as using magic in a public place like this, and in the middle of a crowd was dangerous.

Watching the altercation from beside the giant robot, Beruto was content to just spectate and comment until he was drawn into the verbal fray by the lady in the witch costume. "Beggar?... Stinky?" the red haired teen repeated incredulously. Indeed, the comment by the witch lady had been so confusing he couldn't help but break off his banter with Ty and turn his attention back to woman who'd insulted him right along with just about everyone else involved. Ty managed to beat him to a reply though, as just as Beruto was opening his mouth to refute the witch lady's insult, the other red head in the group called the would be noblewoman a crabby hag, which got Beruto chuckling. "Yeah I don't know what your problem is lady but if I smell like anything, it's chlorine. And I ain't no beggar. Have a job waiting for me back in West City and I own my own home." he stated proudly, omitting the fact that his home was a mobile one. Not that there was anything wrong with living in an RV, it was in fact Beruto's choice to do so, but some people tended to think it reflected negatively in some way.
Shaking his head at the sheer absurdity of the situation, he looked back to Ty. "Sheesh, this lady is taking her character way too seriously." he commented and then went on to add an answer to Ty's questions. "Kite? No he's not here, at least not that I know of. We met up a few weeks ago but I haven't seen or heard from him in a while. But yeah, the water park is great. I spent most of yesterday and this morning there. We didn't have the best TV reception at home though, I don't think I saw that cartoon." he continued and shrugged with the last statement.

Hmm... This girl seemed to be waaaaay to into her own hype. If she was honest, Blizzard felt rather embarrassed for spouting out all these pompous titles, but the girl seemed to think herself superior to all of them without a second thought. That level of arrogance would put some of her own species to shame "I see. So I picked up a sword and thus I am inferior to you. That is truly a fascinating way of thinking. It implies that the fact you were born with a certain name outclasses all the ones i've earned. I see then, have a good day little one" Truthfully, Blizzard had no idea who this "Baba" person was suppost to be. And on top of that, the person she was arguing with seemed to be too prideful to even consider being wrong. Thus, ignoring her would be the best way to get to her. Huh, coming from a race of prideful assholes did have it's advantages after all
However, it seemed some other people of interest were also gathering around. A red-haired boy which the witch girl also decided to insult. It seemed this one lacked upper garments. Blizzard didn't know if that was a sign of poverty in this planet. B-but it was stil; rather indecent... Once again, colossus' immovable frame came to the rescue, saving Blizzard the embarassement of people seeing her cheeks reddening. She decided a swift escape would be the best course of action right now, and thus began trying to exit this little gathering of people around them

Frustration, confusion and intrigue swirled together, forming... Well, the noblewoman had no idea what she was feeling right now, but she hated it. On the positive side, the red-headed peasant was providing her with fascinating tidbits of the most famous witch of all time. “I see... Fascinating...” She would need to look into these... cartoons. Clearly they contained priceless and flawlessly accurate information from the past. Meanwhile, on the negative side, all these other peasants were disrespecting her authority. Their unruly attitude infected even the previously polite peasant girl. How dare they talk back to a Nevermore? No, this humiliation would not stand.
Lilith swept her glare over the three troublemakers, starting with Ty. The insult struck deep enough to elicit an angry blush. “C-cranky hag? Watch your tongue, you ill-mannered brat. I shall have you know I am eternally young.” Her icy gaze shifted onto the beggar who dared to defend himself. “Silence, beggar. Your entire pathetic existence reeks of poverty. At least have the decency to hide your shame with a box or some leaves or whatever you can get your hands on.” Finally her angry glare focused on the armored giant. However, before she could give him a proper verbal lashing, he... walked away...? She was left speechless.
While the surrounding crowd gave room to the hulking figure, the witch blinked. Once. Twice. Finally she recovered from the shock. “H-hey! Where do you think you are going? This is not over!” Her hand reached for the wand hanging from her belt... But hesitated. There were too many people around. Trying to aim her curse through a crowd would be like threading a needle. And she hardly had the time or the energy to curse everyone present. So after a couple of tense seconds, her hand balled into a trembling fist. “Tch, fine...” She turned on her heels and scoffed. “You filthy peasants disgust me anyway.” It was not like she had anything to prove.
Lilith strutted away, heading in the exact opposite direction. ...For a couple of steps at least. Soon her gaze started sweeping the mysterious structures around her. House of Horrors... Mirror Maze... Chaos Carousel... None of the colorful signs made any sense. It was honestly a little overwhelming... However, she did have a lead. A place she wanted to visit. That red-haired peasant girl had said something about a museum dedicated to the Emperor and his cartoons. A castle at the center of the area, yes? That would be her first destination then.

“Awe, Kite is really missing out! On everything! The rides, the attractions, and the overpriced food.” Ty was passionate in her explanation, she was mostly excited in having experienced it, and she knew that to anyone else it would feel the same. “Well, if you visit the museum, you can watch a few clips of the cartoon. It is what founded this whole park in the first place, a little more knowledge doesn’t hurt anyone.”
The cosplaying witch retorted again, the use of words matched the character everyone present thought she was playing, and she was just as mean from beginning to end which made Ty burst into hysterical laughter. “You are eternally young, alright. Cartoons live forever.”
The scene ended when Colossus and Lilith parted ways in different directions, the crowd carried on touring the rest of the park, and Tiger Lily had forgotten to check out the gift shop.
“Hey! Wait up.” Tiger Lily called out to Lilith, “Are you going on break?”
The red headed teenager turned to the fiery redhead again, “Let’s go to the castle, Beruto! I promise it looks awesome inside, there is a huge dragon sculpture called Shenron you have to see to believe!.”
Ocean teal eyes looked over to colossus who was heading the opposite direction, “Hey! Big guy! We’re going to the castle if you’re heading off to break. Join us later, ok?”
In the distance Lilith was still visible in the crowd despite being further way, not many people wore witch hats so she was easy to spot, and at that point Ty leaped up and flew over to face the teenage witch.
“You’re heading over to the castle right?” She smiled while walking backwards still facing the witch, “Where did you learn to talk like that? Was it from the internet? My highschool did not have a theater class. You’re pretty good at it!”
Upon reaching the castle, a large wooden door was kept wide open, the museum had model versions of all of Emperor Pilaf’s inventions, the ceiling had a large replica of the Dragon shenron, and several components from the cartoons were on display, including glass dragon balls. All of which people believed were part of the fictional stories from the comic books and cartoons that Pilaf Land was made of.
The cartoon clip playing on a television screen depicted Baba Yaga as a nemesis, the iconic pink haired witch offered her fortune teller services to Emperor Pilaf at the cost of Ƶ10,000,000 , and Shu called her crook for charging such an exuberant amount. Among the other cartoons was a monkey beastman, a character which Cayle insists is a depiction of saiyan, but without any evidence apart from Capsule Corp comics Tiger Lily’s love has not been deterred from Emperor Pilaf. In fact, the stories presented by Pilaf Corperation and Capsule Corp have been quite the opposite, with the monkey boy being half human in their rendition, and Emperor Pilaf being the enemy to the boy wonder.
Perhaps Lilith would find it entertaining to see a monkey boy with a red stick be beaten by Emperor Pilaf’s robots. Other patrons laughed in passing every time the monkey boy was punished for trying to take over the world when it already had its one true emperor.
“This is Emperor Pilaf and his friends Shu and Mai.” Ty pointed out. [563] [1,385]

Just as colossus goes to leave. They hear a loud clank thump against their knee. If they look down they would see a short figure wearing ragged dregs and an interesting pair of shades. They are sitting near perfectly still. Could this be an attraction? Where did it come from? Who just left some strange looking animatronic here? It suddenly jerks its head upwards looking up at colossus. Its eyes flash through the lenses like the headlights of a car. He looks past the tall figure at the other people before returning his gaze back to the machine.
Mingo had just woke up coming out of a refrigerator in the middle of this strange amusement park. When he crawled out there was only one thing on the androids mind. This has got to be the most poor example human progression possible. This entire facility is a waste of resources. He remembers seeing the sign. Pilaf land, who was pilaf? Why were they named this? Is it a food? Questions he would have to learn the answer to some other time. After some walking he finds a gift shop. He grabs a tattered curtain off of the mobile shop and coils it around himself. Grabbing a rather goofy looking pair of shades. Expressing a moment of mechanical disgust in the design. Grabbing more shades, and proceeding to make an abomination of frame and stackable lenses. Thus after more wandering he finds his way where he is now. He is looking up at the mech and only has one thing to say. “If this is the peak of humanities technology i have a very short tome frame to work in before they die off of brain cell deterioration.” He says.

Blizzard breathed a sigh of relief as she walked away from that encounter. The female human's invitation to meet them later was kind. But honestly, bumping into that witch again sounded way more trouble than she was willing to take on. While she did feel more powerful and confident inside colossus, she was still a shy, non-confrontational person. Thus, she was glad to leave the prideful witch to her own company. Not where to go next
As she tried to plot her next course of action, she bumped into someone again. Man, she really needed to be more careful with that. It didn't really help that most creatures were shorter than colossus, thus being obscured when too close. As the robot turned downwards to look at the new obstacle, they were met with the peculiar sight of an unmoving person with a horrible taste in shades. Then again, this was the first time blizzard ever set foot in this place. Perhaps this type of fashion was common here. Either way, she decided to scan him using colossus' systems for good measure... before remembering she was still quite sub-par at operating the ancient battle armour, and finally decided against it. instead, the hulking suit of armour would tilt it's head, listening to the fellow machine's rather dismissive statement about humanity. While Blizzard didn't really feel insulted by an insult aimed at a different species, she was at least curious to hear the details of this... perplexing statement "Interesting. Are you implying that you can wield or know of technology more advanced than what you see around you then?" the suit's prideful, booming voice asked in a calm and curious tone

"Shame?..." Beruto asked, genuinely confused by the witch lady's rant. "What shame?" he added looking down at himself. His sculpted physiques was in top form, nothing wrong there. His bright red life guard swimming trunks were bran spanking new and he'd avoided spilling anything on them so far, nothing wrong there either. Lastly his water shoes were in good shape, slightly worn in the rubber soles but there's no way she could see that. So what was she going on about? Ty interrupted his confused train of thought, recommending that they go to the castle museum and then turned her attention back to the witch lady one more time to compliment her on her 'acting.' Then it hit him like a brick to the head. Clearly this lady had to be one of the cast members and her character, no doubt evil in some despicable, insidious way, assumed that he was poor because he was half dressed. It was just like a story he read in a comic once, except that the part of the witch was instead the evil monkey boy.
"Oh I get it now!" Beurto laughed. "Your character must be related to the monkey kid from the comics. You both think topless people are poor." he went on, trying to contain his chuckling. "I didn't get the reference at first. That was a really obscure issue too." Beruto concluded and turned his attention back to Ty as she had already started in the direction of the castle.
"Hey, wait up." he called out and jogged a few steps to catch up to her. "Yeah, Kite's totally missing out. He's probably stuck at home gardening or something lame like that." Beruto mused. He actually didn't know what Kite got up to when he disappeared for weeks at a time, but hopefully he was just stuck at home, studying or some other mundane thing. That was as far as that train of thought went however, surrounded by the glorious vista of the park around them, Beruto couldn't focus on such mundanities as home life and gardening, not when the tri-rail people mover was in site, ferrying guests from one section of the massive park to another. Before long, the pair of red haired teens had weaved their way through the crowds and to the giant castle and it was no surprise that upon their arrival, Beruto's eyes were glued to the screens.
"Wow, I read a few of the comics, but I didn't no the cartoon ran for so long." the boy exclaimed, glancing from time to time at some of the placards around. "I'm going to have to write mom and dad and tell them to get a satellite dish." he added and dragged his attention away from a monitor and back to the young lady.
