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

***DISOWNED DOCUMENT PART 2***

As the group immersed themselves in their private bouncing paradise, completely absorbed by the thrill of the giant space hoppers, a shadow bounced its way toward them. It was unmistakable—a pair of giant ears, a bright red pair of shorts, and an infectious grin. It was none other than **Mickey Mouse** himself, bouncing along on his very own **bounce-along ball**, a small but cartoonishly strong hopper. He sprang into the room with his characteristic energy, his laughter echoing off the walls.Jacob nudged Skylar, a wide smile on his face. "Sky, it's Mickey! Your morning hero!" Skylar grinned back, clearly excited to see him.Mickey's bounce-along ball might have been smaller compared to the hoppers around him, but he bounced as if gravity didn't apply to him at all. "*Hot diggity dog!* This sure is a fun place to bounce around!" Mickey exclaimed, seamlessly syncing with the group. He bounced energetically, riding along with them, just as spry as ever.Skylar, remembering the **Mickey Mouse Funhouse** episodes she loved to watch with Jacob, joined in his enthusiasm, calling out, "Hot diggity dog!" in perfect sync with Mickey. They both laughed, their voices melding as they bounced alongside each other.However, **Ruby**—ever observant—noticed something. She remembered a special trick she had learned from Kanga. With a mischievous twinkle in her eye, she raised her hand, performing a move that shocked everyone: **the Thanos snap**, but without a gauntlet. There was no need for stones when it came to **Ruby's bouncearoo powers**. In an instant, *THUMP*, **Mickey's ball began to grow**, expanding in size until it reached a towering **120 cm in diameter**. The room gasped as Mickey's bounce-along ball transformed into a giant, high-flying hopper, now large enough to rival the ones in the room.Mickey looked down at his enlarged hopper, wide-eyed and beaming. "*Well, what do ya know! That's one big ball!*" he exclaimed in his signature voice. Just as he prepared to test out this newly-empowered bouncer, the portal rippled behind him, bringing in **Pluto, Minnie, and Goofy**. All of them had been drawn to the action, intrigued by the sight of their friend's new, massive hopper. Minnie giggled, bouncing onto her own classic blue **"Hoppity ball"**, which had also grown in size thanks to Ruby's snap. "Oh, I just *love* this! So much bounce!" she squealed.Goofy, ever the klutz, struggled to stay balanced on his enlarged ball, wobbling comically before managing to find his rhythm. "Gawrsh! I ain't never bounced like this before, Mick!" he laughed, his bouncing becoming more controlled as he got into the groove.Pluto, true to his playful self, ran around the room, barking happily as his ball expanded alongside the others. He pounced and bounced with the same energy as his two-legged friends.Jacob and Skylar, still in awe of Ruby's snap, approached Mickey, ready to share the next level of bouncing. "Hey, Mickey!" Jacob called out, hopping closer to the Disney icon. "Did you know these bounce-along balls can do more than just grow bigger?"Skylar smiled and added, "Yeah! You've got three levels of bounce with these things. First, you get **three sets of bouncing**—three times in a row. That's **nine total bounces** to get you started."Mickey nodded eagerly, intrigued. "Wow! What's next?"Jacob continued, "Then you can **bounce higher** after that. You'll feel it—it's like the ball just knows when you're ready to level up!"Skylar leaned in, "And then, there's the ultimate stage: **Highest of all**! It's the top-level bounce, where you're practically flying!"Mickey's face lit up, his excitement matching theirs. "*Hot diggity dog!* That sounds incredible! Let's try it out!"With the group of Disney icons now fully armed with this new bouncing knowledge, they prepared to test out the levels. Jacob demonstrated first, bouncing three times, each bounce propelling him higher than the last. The room watched in amazement as he ascended, reaching the **higher level** with ease.Skylar, not to be outdone, jumped onto her own giant hopper and quickly followed suit. Together, she and Jacob reached the final stage, launching into the air at the **highest bounce**. The room was alive with energy as everyone followed along.Mickey, now fully understanding the **bounce-along ball's** potential, was next. He leaned into the handles of his oversized ball, bouncing three times, just as Jacob had done. Each bounce grew higher, until he finally reached the **"highest of all"**. His delighted shouts of "*Hot diggity dog!*" rang out with every soaring leap. Minnie, Pluto, and Goofy followed closely behind, each taking turns bouncing higher and higher until they, too, reached the ultimate bounce.But Mickey wasn't done yet. In the spirit of giving, and thanks to Ruby's bouncearoo magic, Mickey **summoned enough giant bounce-along balls** for everyone in the room. Each one expanded to **120 cm in diameter**, providing plenty of space for all the bouncers. Jacob and Skylar exchanged a glance, their excitement contagious.Now, with **everyone outfitted with these enormous, powerful hopper balls**, the room erupted into a symphony of synchronized bouncing. The walls of the secret room seemed to pulse with the rhythm of each *BOING*, as if the citadel itself was bouncing along in joy.It was a moment of pure, unbridled fun. Mickey, ever the leader, cheered everyone on as they launched themselves higher and higher, his laughter mixing with Skylar's as they led the group through the different stages of bounce.Ruby, standing beside Kanga and Roo, watched with pride as everyone enjoyed the fruits of her magical bouncearoo abilities. She had truly outdone herself, and with Kanga's help, she had made sure that the fun never stopped.As the group continued bouncing, they all knew one thing for sure: Mickey wasn't just the mascot of Disney for nothing. His bounce-along ball had brought a whole new level of excitement to the citadel, and thanks to Ruby's bouncearoo powers, **the secret room** was now a place where the possibilities for bouncing were truly endless.
