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

Switching up rides

After concluding his exhilarating ride on Tigger, Jacob was ready to switch things up. He beckoned Ruby, the bouncearoo kangaroo, to join him on **Kanga's saddle**, eager to test out the cartoonishly strong mother kangaroo's back. Ruby's ears perked up at the invitation, curiosity dancing in her eyes. Being the powerhouse that she was, Ruby was rarely surprised by another kangaroo's strength, but as soon as she hopped onto Kanga's back alongside Jacob, she was stunned by how easily Kanga carried them both.Kanga, with her calm demeanor and warm smile, acted as if it were no big deal—carrying both Jacob and Ruby felt as natural to her as bouncing through the Hundred Acre Wood. She began to hop, effortlessly handling the extra weight as her strong legs propelled them into the air with the same grace and power as Ruby would when bouncing with two riders.Jacob looked over at Ruby, who was blinking in astonishment. "See, Ruby? Kanga's got some hidden bounce power! Let's see how high we can go!"With that, Kanga increased her bounce, and both Jacob and Ruby felt the *BOING* grow stronger with each hop. Ruby's legs, naturally tuned to bounce in sync, started mingling with Kanga's movements, amplifying the leaps even further. Soon, the combined power of the **bouncearoo kangaroo** and the **cartoonish mother kangaroo** had them soaring just as high as Tigger and Skylar, who were still bouncing away.Meanwhile, Skylar, eager for her turn with Tigger, saddled up, ready to experience the same two modes of bouncing that Jacob had just enjoyed. As she mounted Tigger, he grinned with excitement. "Are ya ready, Skylar? This is gonna be *tiggerific!*" "Oh, I'm *more* than ready!" Skylar exclaimed, her heart racing with excitement as she gripped the saddle.Tigger started with his **four-legged bounce**, and Skylar immediately felt the spring in his step, the saddle expanding and contracting with his bounces. With every leap, she could feel the elasticity of Tigger's body, the energy from his legs rippling through the saddle in perfect rhythm. It was smooth and thrilling, and she couldn't help but shout out with joy, "Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"Tigger grinned even wider, hearing her mimic his signature call. "Now that's the spirit! But hold on tight—now we're going to my favorite part: **tail mode!**"With a quick shift, Tigger launched into his tail bounce, and Skylar eagerly grabbed his ears as the saddle transformed. The sensation was even more intense now—Tigger's tail shot them higher and higher with each powerful spring, and Skylar felt the pure, unbridled joy of bouncing along with him."Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" Skylar yelled again, matching Tigger's infectious energy. The two were a blur of excitement and laughter, flying across the citadel with their tail-powered leaps.As they bounded, **Christopher** watched from below, his eyes wide with wonder. He couldn't help but feel drawn to Skylar's bouncing joy. Without thinking twice, he reached up and took Skylar's hand, leaping into the air alongside her. While only one person could ride Tigger at a time, that didn't mean Christopher couldn't share the experience. Hand-in-hand, they bounced together, their laughter blending with Tigger's enthusiastic *BOINGS* as they soared through the air.But Tigger, always one for a challenge, suddenly noticed Kanga keeping up with them, her leaps growing more powerful as **Ruby's bouncearoo energy mingled with hers**. Kanga's hops were now almost on par with Tigger's own tail bounces, and for the first time, Tigger seemed genuinely surprised. He looked over, his eyes widening. "Well, what's this? Kanga's giving ol' Tigger a run for his bounces!" Ruby smirked, her competitive nature coming out. "Looks like we're in sync, Kanga! Let's show them how high we can go!"With that, Kanga and Ruby's combined energy reached new heights. Their powerful legs propelled them into the air, and Kanga's normally gentle *BOING* now echoed with a **Tigger-like bounce**. The two kangaroos were in perfect harmony, and with each bounce, they soared higher and higher, matching Tigger's pace effortlessly.Skylar, still gripping Tigger's ears, glanced over at Jacob and Ruby riding Kanga. She couldn't help but laugh. "Looks like we've got some competition, Tigger!"Tigger chuckled, loving every second of the challenge. "Competition? That's what Tiggers do *best!* Let's see if we can out-bounce those bouncearoos!"The race was on. Tigger and Kanga, along with their respective riders, leapt through the air in a dazzling display of bouncy brilliance. Christopher held Skylar's hand tightly, grinning from ear to ear as they continued to bounce alongside Tigger. With every *BOING*, the air was filled with laughter, joy, and the undeniable energy of friendship and fun. The citadel echoed with the sounds of bouncing, the incredible strength of the bouncearoo kangaroos matching the legendary bounces of Tigger, creating an unforgettable spectacle.As the bouncing escapade continued, it was clear that **Kanga, Ruby, Tigger, Jacob, Skylar, and Christopher** were all having the time of their lives, pushing the boundaries of how high they could soar and sharing in the pure delight of bouncing together. It was a true testament to the magic of the citadel and the boundless fun that came with it.
