Jacob, Skylar, Seamus and Co. In: The Citadel

AUTHORS PICK NUMBER 2: Brandy And Mr. Whiskers Barge on in!

@Irishboxer4  ANOTHER authors pick. To be fair, I don't know much about this series as I was in Pre-K and Kindergarten when this Disney Channel series Aired. 

As everyone settled into the council chamber, the citadel's multiverse portal alarm blared once more, its familiar hum signaling another round of arrivals. All heads turned toward the shimmering gateway, anticipation hanging in the air.Seamus, ever the tour guide, gave a mischievous grin. "Looks like we've got more company, everyone! Who's it going to be this time?"With a flash of light, two figures stumbled through the swirling vortex and onto the shiny, polished floors of the **Amaranthine Citadel**.There stood **Brandy Harrington** and **Mr. Whiskers**, from Disney Channel's *Brandy and Mr. Whiskers*!Brandy, always poised and stylish, immediately tried to compose herself, smoothing down her fur and adjusting her signature pink bow. Her elegant demeanor was only slightly offset by her confusion about the strange and bouncing surroundings. "Well, this is... certainly not the Amazon!" she huffed, her sharp eyes scanning the crowd. Meanwhile, Mr. Whiskers—ever the clumsy and enthusiastic rabbit—was sprawled on the ground, giggling. He jumped up, looking at the towering, bouncing structures all around with awe. "Whoa-ho-ho!" he exclaimed, his ears twitching in excitement. "This place is *bonkers*! Look at all the bouncy stuff! It's like a trampoline, but it's everywhere!" He immediately began hopping up and down on the spot, bouncing higher and higher with each jump.Skylar laughed as she bounced along beside him. "You're going to love it here, Mr. Whiskers. We've got everything from trampoline parks to inflatable obstacle courses!"Brandy let out a small groan, placing her hands on her hips. "Well, I suppose it's better than being stranded in the jungle... but *honestly*, what kind of place is this?"Jacob grinned. "Welcome to the Amaranthine Citadel! A place where bouncing is a way of life—and it looks like Mr. Whiskers is already settling in!"Brandy sighed dramatically but couldn't help smiling as she watched Mr. Whiskers get more and more into the spirit of things. Seamus bounced over to the new arrivals, offering a warm Irish welcome. "Ye both made it just in time! We've been touring the citadel, and I've got to tell ye, there's a **bouncy ballroom** that ye'll love!""Oh, I'm sure *Mr. Whiskers* will," Brandy said with an eye-roll. But despite her usual reservations, even she seemed intrigued by the majestic beauty and wonder of the citadel.Before Brandy could protest, Mr. Whiskers grabbed her paw. "C'mon, Brandy! Let's go bounce!" he squealed, dragging her towards the nearest trampoline room.As Brandy stumbled behind, trying to keep up, the rest of the group followed suit, all eager to continue the tour now that their new friends had joined the fun. 

Of course, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers were already in full swing—quite literally—as they bounded into the first of the citadel's many bounce rooms. The **Super Trampoline Park** stretched out before them like a giant, shimmering wonderland of springs, bounce pads, and soft, cushioned walls. Even the floors were an endless sea of trampolines, all vibrating with energy. Mr. Whiskers let out an excited squeal, his ears bouncing with every leap. "Woohoo! This is, like, the best thing ever!" He launched himself sky-high from a nearby trampoline, doing a messy mid-air somersault, and came crashing back down in a pile of giggles. Brandy, on the other hand, was... hesitant. Her dainty paws gingerly pressed onto the nearest trampoline, and she immediately wobbled as the ground beneath her gave way. Her face twisted into an expression of both confusion and mild horror. "I don't know about this... I don't do *bouncing*." She carefully balanced herself, her arms flailing as she tried to stay upright.Skylar bounced past her, giving Brandy a playful grin. "Oh, come on, Brandy! It's fun! Just let yourself go with it!" Skylar effortlessly flipped backward into the air, spinning mid-leap before landing gracefully on her feet.Brandy blinked, watching Skylar in disbelief. "Let myself go? That is *not* in my nature!" she huffed, attempting another small, controlled bounce. It was more like an awkward hop, but it was a start.Meanwhile, Mr. Whiskers was completely in his element, his endless energy propelling him higher and higher. "Brandy, look at me! Look at me!" he shouted as he flipped in the air again, this time landing on his back and springing right back up. "This place is AMAZING!"As Mr. Whiskers rocketed across the trampoline park, he found his way to a spring-loaded platform in the corner. "Hey, what does this thing do?" He jumped onto it with both feet, and it sent him catapulting straight into the air with a comically loud *boing*. "Wooooohoooo!" he yelled, sailing over Brandy's head before landing safely in a netted area on the other side of the room.Brandy let out a small yelp as Whiskers flew past her, nearly knocking her off balance. "This is completely ridiculous," she muttered under her breath, though a tiny smirk was forming on her face as she watched her companion having the time of his life.Seamus, who had been bouncing nearby with Bouncer, hopped over to Brandy. "Ye just need to find yer rhythm, lass," he said, grinning. "It's all about loosening up. Give it a real try!"Taking a deep breath, Brandy steeled herself. "Alright. Fine. Let's do this." With that, she bent her knees and pushed off from the trampoline with a little more force. She wobbled in the air for a moment before coming back down, and to her surprise, she didn't immediately collapse. Instead, she felt a strange sense of freedom as the trampoline pushed her back into the air."There you go!" Jacob cheered from across the room. "You've got it, Brandy!"Feeling slightly more confident, Brandy tried again, this time launching herself higher. Her legs kicked out awkwardly as she soared upwards, but she managed to stay upright. "I... I'm doing it! I'm actually bouncing!" she gasped, a look of astonishment on her face. For the first time since entering the citadel, Brandy felt a rush of excitement. The air whooshed around her as she bounced, and a small laugh escaped her lips.Mr. Whiskers, noticing Brandy's sudden change in attitude, zipped over to her in a blur of fur and ears. "See, Brandy? I told you this place was awesome! Isn't it fun?" He bounced alongside her, kicking his feet in the air as he did a goofy little jig mid-leap.Brandy chuckled, her usual aloofness giving way to something more playful. "Alright, fine, I'll admit it. This is kind of fun."The rest of the group joined in, bounding around the trampoline park in a symphony of laughter and springs. Seamus, Skylar, Jacob, and even the other characters from the multiverse bounced through the air, adding flips, tricks, and somersaults to the mix. It was pure, unfiltered joy.Brandy, now fully immersed in the experience, attempted a spin in the air. It was far from graceful, but she landed with a proud smile. "Look at me! I'm doing tricks now!""Atta girl, Brandy!" Seamus cheered. "Told ye, everyone loves bouncin'!"As the group continued to bounce around, the citadel's energy felt more alive than ever, its walls echoing with laughter and the rhythmic bounce of trampolines. Brandy, now fully engaged in the spirit of the citadel, glanced at Mr. Whiskers, who was flipping through the air again with reckless abandon."Maybe this won't be so bad after all," Brandy mused, grinning as she leaped higher and higher, letting herself go, just as Skylar had said. And with each bounce, she felt more at home in the strange, bouncy wonderland of the Amaranthine Citadel.
