Disney's Wondrous Secrets

Gammy the Weasel

Sarah got herself to her knees, with her hair stuck up with hay. The smell in this place was over abundant with cotton candy, strangely. Woody lifted himself up and shook his head. To them, it looked all dark. She could hear their own breathing. As she tried to get up though, something bright amidst the dark startled her. She gasped and almost fell down. Her eyes hurt from the sharp light, but it looked like a shining blue orb. Like a star! Woody gasped and stared wide eyed at it. Out of what they've both seen so far, this had to be the very first wonder to admire. Ever.

The stunning orb inched closer to Sarah and she was almost tempted to reach out to touch it. Woody's mesmerized look began to morph to that of wonder and curiosity. Could it be? Was it she or a Never Fairy?

Sadly, before they could discover further...someone disturbed the peace and the tarp was opened further down. At the noise, the orb dashed away and disappeared around a corner. Sarah's heart began to run when someone was shoved in.... It looked like another toon, like Pete. Only this one was scrawny, thin and he wore a black dusty cap and grey checkered sweater, with brown pants. He grumbled to himself and looked the two over, lifting his cap.

"Hi there, I'm guessin'. What's ya name?" he spoke in a dry, scratchy voice.

"I'm Sa- ..." she stopped herself. "...Jackie." she said, accepting the nickname now as an alias.

Nothing felt safe here.

"Heh." the toon coughed and then looked to Woody. "I know you."

Woody got to his feet and brushed himself up with a scowl. "All too well."

"Yer that Wizard's do gooder, ain't ya?"

"Who are you?" Sarah asked, hoping to avoid another confrontation.

"Name's Gammy. The Weasel. And you, pals, are our new employees, I'm betting."

"We didn't agree to anything. We were thrown in here, pal." Woody grew sharp at the end there.

"Waaaatch it." this Gammy hissed back. "Follow me!" he barked and ran behind Sarah. "Go meet yer peers."

He proceeded to shove her forward through another tarp. The two were now taken backstage, away from the maze like entrance. It was a very wide space, which was strange, because this tent did not look that big from the outside. The ground was grassy and hay littered all over the place. There were stacks of crates and barrels around, along side these cage train cars, with floors made out of wood. Each car was empty, out of all four, there was one at the far end of the place. Inside it stood an animal, a male deer. His cloven hoofs were firmly on the floor as if digging into the wood. As he stood, his head was low and was held that way by a tight rein around his head and chains connected to the bars and the floor. Sarah couldn't get a better look but she was sure that those angry reddish brown eyes were glaring right at her. Swallowing dryly, she took notice of others. The fact that they weren't the only ones was worrying. Also, Mickey was gone and there was no way to tell if he was okay or not... For now, they were stuck.

That weasel, Gammy, seemed to have left them in here for whatever reason. Sarah was about to go in further with Woody, all shaky almost from nervousness. There was one creature that was the first to catch her eye. At first, it was just a shot of bright pink and that sugary smell got stronger. But then, she saw something else in one of the cages, asleep perhaps. A pink animal of sorts peacefully asleep inside this cage. With his head cuddled in his soft yet thick arms, he barely made a sound. A trunk laid as around him as possible and a soft, fluffy purple tail curled around from behind him. He looked and smelled of cotton candy yet he looked like a circus elephant or a clown of some kind. He wore a thick, brown checkered jacket littered with randomly colored patches and over his hands he wore a pair of dark brown finger-less gloves. Despite his conspicuous appearance, his visible closed eyes had a sort of peace.
