"DOSE IT ANYBODY CARE WHAT I THINK?!" Thumbelina yelled and then stumble on the pad having her hair on her face. I helped her up while she pushes her hair out of her face.
"Life is unfair sis, deal with it." I replied. She stumble a little falling down the pad as I did trying to balance myself.
"Ashley what do we do? I don't want to marry that horrible toad." She asked with disgust tone in her voice. I looked around.
"Scream for help?" I suggest shrugging my shoulder knowing there's someone out there. We both yell and scream for help and wave our arms out trying to get someone attention until we heard a voice that I knew couldn't help but smile.
"Whoa help?" Who is saying help?" We saw a swallow blue bird with black wing tip and have pink and yellow design on his chest with black neckline around his neck and have two round pink cheeks wearing a yellow hat with pink puffy feather attached matching his two yellow boots.
"Mr. Bird over here!" Thumbelina called while I waved desperately.
"Yeah were over here! Help us!" I called and the shallow flew over and landed on the end of the pond plant having surprised on his face.
"Oh hello little ones, are you having a bad day?" He asked in his French accents. We both nodded and I begin explaning.
"Well, it all started that I shrink myself to her size so she won't be lonely her size and we were sleeping inside the windowsill waiting for Prince Cornelius to come back aka Thumbelina's boyfriend when he paid a visit and he took her on a magical night before he left." I breathed taking one breath from talking. "That was a mouthful." I manage to say while Thumbelina nodded and took turn explaining.
"And he says he'd come because he loves me and…"
"He loves you?" Mr. Bird breathed. She nodded.
"Yes." She sighed dreamy a little and then the bird took her hand and shook it happily making her go off a little.
"Congratulations!" He beamed shaking it more and then we saw another bird coming in that I recognized fast having a guitar on his back but wore a brown jazzy hat with tan vest.
"Thanks." She replied giggling a little as Jacques landed by him.
"Uncle Jacica, what's gives?" He asked and turned having surprised on his face.
"Ashley?" He asked. I smiled waving.
"Hi Jacques was up?" I asked while Thumbelina and Mr. Bird looked at both of us puzzled.
"Ashley you know him?" She asked pointed at him. I nodded.
"Yep, he's a friend of mine from America but not so friendly enough ditching me throwing myself in the garbage while he goes off finding his uncle." I cross my arm giving him the look making Jacques smiled innocently.
"My bad but I can't find you anywhere when I found my Uncle." He replied and I smile.
"That's alright but don't ditch me like that again. Say what with the hat and the vest?" I asked as he took off his hat smiling his beak.
"You like it? Uncle Jacica give it me." He twirls it around doing some hat tricks and put it back on his head and smooth his vest.
"It looks great on you. Fits your character well." I replied and then Jacques tips his head a little.
"Mind me asking but why you and your friend got out here and get stranded on the lily pad?" He asked. Thumbelina sighed sadly.
"We'll I was stolen away by Mrs. Toad and Ashley came and rescues me but Miss Toad says I have to marry her son and that's…" She was about to say the last word but Mr. Bird huffed in disgust while Jacques has sick look on his face.
"A Toad? Bah! That is a very bad day." He replied. I nodded agreeing while I huffed.
"You have no idea, while I was trying to convince Mrs. Toad she doesn't belong to their show but all they did was pushing me around and I think Mrs. Toad doesn't want me to be there trying to kick me out not wanting to listen to my opinions. Their just horrible slimy no good self-center show slickers!" I huffed kicking a little almost tripping on the lily pad. "But there not bad at singing and dancing." I finished while Thumbelina nodded agreeing a little. Jacques on the other heavy sigh a little shook his head crossing his wings.
"This brings back a lot of memories of our adventure." He spoke smirking his beak. I shook my head crossing my arms.
"You have no idea." I replied smiling a little.
"Well sorry about your bad morning Ash and Miss umm..." He tried to thinking of her name as Thumbelina smiled bowing a little.
"Thumbelina." She replied. Jacques smiled.
"Thumbelina? That's a lovely name. I'm Jacques and this is my Uncle Jacquimo." He greeted as my eyes lit up.
"Wait Jacquimo is your uncle?" I asked while Jacques nodded answering my question. "That explains everything." I rolled my eyes a little making Jacques laughed.
"Uncle, this is the girl I was telling you about fulfilling the prophecy and saved the sun for the world." He spoke seeing Jacquimo smiled his beak tipping his hat a little.
"It's such an honor to meet a hero saving the sun earing the title of Warrior of Light. How we can be a servant for you two?" He bowed a little while Thumbelina and I struggle to stand.
"Well we must get off this lily pad but." She falls down and sighed sadly. "That's impossible." She finished. I helped her up chuckling a little.
"We'll anything can be possible if you believe." I replied. Jacquimo laugh.
"She's right, nothing is impossible." With that he twirls a little and jumps off the plant pond and dive in the water underneath us.
"Voila!" He flew out of the water as we felt the lily pad being to move making us stumble a little.
"Oh, my. Well that was easy." Thumbelina laughed while I stumble a little letting the lily carry us.
"Okay no that's out of the way; we need go to the shore and get the heck out of here." I manage to find two twigs floating by us as I grab one and give another one to Thumbelina having both of us capable enough to stand.
"Before those awful toads comes back." Thumbelina added agreeing as we begin to stroke our twigs while Jacquimo and Jacques sat back on the plant pond tip.
"Do you mean you can reach the shore before you go over the waterfall?" We heard Jacquimo asked making both of us perk our head up.
"What waterfall?" Thumbelina asked as we saw Jacquimo and Jacques have fear on their face. I breathed knowing where this is going as I tried to paddle my twig hard.
"THAT ONE!" I heard Jacques shouted and I looked over and gasp seeing the waterfall dead ahead.
"Is it bad?" Thumbelina asked closing her eyes trying to paddle. I nodded fast.
"Oh it's bad. Very bad. Paddle Thumbelina!" I cried and we tried to paddle more but the water was carrying us fast making it impossible. Then Jacquimo yells and rushed over to us and grab the stem attach the lily making us fall down letting go our paddle twigs while Jacques went the other side flapping his wings.
"OH NO!" Jacques screamed while Jacquimo struggle to pull the lily.
"I'm slipping!" He cried trying to pull us to the shore using his feet to make the lily slow down.
"Don't let go!" Thumbelina shouted as I tried to stand up feeling the water pulling us in fast stumbling a little.
"Can both of you swim?" He called pulling us more but Thumbelina shook her head with fear on her face.
"No I can't swim! I don't even float!" She answered while I nodded.
"I can swim a little but I don't think I can handle this water when I'm this tiny!" I replied and we scream for help while the water still carry us fast towards the waterfall and saw Jacques having panic on his face looking around desperate.
"What do I do? What do I do?" He asked frantically.
"HELP JACQUIMO!" I scream and we yell more for help.
"Oh right." He quickly flew by him and grab the stem trying to help Jacquimo but both of them are not strong enough to pull us to the shore as we yell more for help in desperate.
"JITTERBUGS! HELP!" I heard Jacquimo scream as we passed the log fast. I saw the waterfall coming close as we scream.
"SOS! SOS!" I scream at top of my lungs. "MAYDAY MAYDAY!" All of us scream when we were close to the waterfall but then the tail came out making the lily were in fly up in a second away from the waterfall. The two fishes came out and push the lily pad while the jitterbugs that most of them wore clothing pull the stem hard. I cough a little while Thumbelina passed out.
"PULL MI AMES PULL! THAT IS IT! THAT IS IT, HIGHER HIGHER!" Jacquimo cried as the jitterbugs pulls harder. He coughed and gaged trying to swim as I gasp seeing everyone pulling hard away from the waterfall but the waterfall was pulling us in fast seeing them struggle and I cling on my amulet. I quickly looked down at my amulet completely forgot this amulet can give me any powers I want and I thought of one power I can think of wanting to help. I felt my amulet glowing using
"YEAH ASHLEY! KEEP PULLING THE TIDES IN!" He shouted as the rest have shock on their face while pulling the lily as Jacquimo coughed more and I use my other hand to pull him to the shore but the fish helped by using its tail to whack him towards the shore making him crash on the rock. I breathed while the jitterbugs and the fishes pull us to the shore safety away from the waterfall feeling my amulet faded. I sat down feeling worn out as usual while Jacques went over by Jacquimo as I glance at them.
"Are you two alright?" I asked while Jacquimo perks his head up saying something in French and lay back down having his hand on his chest.
"Yeah Ash, he's alright as I am." He replied smiling his beak and then he grab his guitar and shake it a little getting the water out and testing the tune making sure it's still tuned. I looked around seeing all jitterbugs staring at us with surprised and wonder as they whisper.
"What are they?" One jitterbug asked while the other one nodded smiling.
"Yeah who are they?" He asked while I smile a little feeling shy and then I heard Thumbelina moaned softly.
"Lina are you okay?" I asked as the little female jitterbug having yellow flower hat look at her mother that is a ladybug type gasping.
"Look Mama, the other one is waking up." Thumbelina opened her eyes slowly as I smiled in relief of her all alright.
"Are you feeling better little one?" Jacquimo asked as she stood up a little.
"Yes I think so." She yawned softly and turned to me. "Are you alright?" She asked. I smiled.
"I'm okay thanks." I answered as she looks around gasping a little seeing all the jitterbugs staring at us.
"Who are you?" She asked hearing Jacquimo chuckled.
"Thumbelina, Ashley, Jacques these are the jitterbugs." He greeted as we both breathed.
"The jitterbugs? How do you do?" She greeted. I smiled friendly.
"Hi everyone how it's going?" I asked. The small jitterbug came up to us as I squeal inside of how she was adorable as she looked at Thumbelina.
"Are you really going to marry a fairy prince?" She asked and we giggled a little of her cute asking.
"Well if he asks me. He will call me at my house. That's why I want to go home." She replied but her face was changed to sad sudden. "And beside, mother will be terribly worried." I saw some jitterbugs looking pity for her as I sighed softly. "Only if I can find my way home." Thumbelina sighed sadly having her hands on her chin looking helpless. I place my hand on her shoulder for comfort.
"Oh we'll help you Thumbelina and your friend." The small jitterbug spoke smiling while some others nodded.
"Yeah nobody will hurt both of you." The other jitterbug spoke out beaming.
"Not with us on the job right?" The other one asked.
"Right." The jitterbug replied as we smiled of their bravery and gratitude while Thumbelina giggled.
"Oh all of you are very brave thank you but." She sighed sadly more looking at her hand. "I'm afraid I'll never see my home again." I shook my head.
"Don't think that Lina, I'll get you home. Don't lose hope." I reassured trying to cheer her up but she heavy sighed as she glances at me.
"But how? My home is so far away." She protest and we heard Jacquimo tisk as we both glance at him seeing him having soft expression.
"Oh do you love the prince Thumbelina?" He asked having his either wings over his heart.
"Yes." She answered. Jacquimo laughed.
"Then follow your heart, it will lead you home. Now where does the prince live?" He asked looking having his two wings pointed in different direction as I try to remember.
"Um he says he lives in the Valley of, no wait um a Val..." I fumble looking at Thumbelina as she breathed.
"Oh he's lives in the Vale of the Fairies." She answered. I snap my fingers.
"I was close of answering that." I replied. Jacques chuckle.
"Sure about that?" He asked as I smirked a little and then Thumbelina sighed sadly. "But we don't know where that is either." She does have a point there as I sighed but Jacquimo on the other hand laugh as we looked seeing him smiling his beak.
"Don't worry, I, Jacquimo will find it and bring him home to you." He replied chuckling but Thumbelina shook her head as all the jitterbugs surrounded us as the other kids came over to us.
"It's impossible." She retorted fling her hand a little. Jacquimo breathed.
"Impossible? Nothing is impossible!" He answered coming to us and I heard music begin playing while I smile knowing this song loving it as Jacquimo begin singing.
You're sure do impossible things, if you follow your heart. He gesture us to come as Jacques got his guitar out and strums along smiling his beak. I got up while the kids jitterbug make Thumbelina get up and tug her to follow as she still have her impossible face on and we followed Jacquimo. Hah hah, your dreams will fly on magical wings. When you follow your heart. He sang as all chickadees came out having different hair and having brown feathers. Thumbelina on the other hand shook her head and huffed sitting down, I rolled my eyes a little of her stubborn and sat down by her. Jacquimo ran down towards us while Jacques came over still playing his guitar. If you have to journey far here's a little trick. He sang as I nod my head a little liking the tune smiling. You don't need a guiding star, trust your tinker. Get there quicker. Hah hah. He sang making us look at the sky and then he place his wings over his heart while Jacques nodded still strumming the tune and then the three small birds came down having yellow, orange and purple hair on each one nodding their heads of the tune. The small jitterbug kids sat by us while the one in the straw hat sat on my lap and then the yellow hat one pointed us towards the sky as we look up to where she pointed at. You're sure do impossible things, if you follow your heart. We watch Jacquimo flew up to the two closing flowers as he grabs both of them while having his feet on the stem making the frozen water fling a little.
"Come on Thumbelina! You're going home! Your mother is waiting get up! Get up!" He shouted. I smiled getting up fast helping her up.
"Come on Lina!" I laugh pulling her as the kid jitterbugs ran ahead while we catch up and saw her smiling a little feeling little better and then the small chickadees begin dancing picking their dress up a little singing while we ran Your sure do impossible things, if you follow your heart. Thumbelina and I dance a little while we ran laughing and then Jacques jam his guitar more while giving a wink at one of the chickadees as the violet hair one sighed dreamily. I rolled my eyes still smiling as one the straw hat one flew up to me and I grab its hand and we twirl a little for a second and then we follow up to top of the book cover. Your dream can fly on magical wings. All the chickadees sang dancing as Jacquimo and Jacques landed by us while Jacques still jams his guitar.
"Sing my little chickadees!" Jacquimo laughed as he sat on the rock by us. If you follow your heart! The chickadees sang making Thumbelina and I laugh and then Jacques stops playing and put his guitar on his back while Jacquimo spins himself while sitting and sang.
North, South, East or West, where to point your shoes? He sang having his foot pointed up and Thumbelina took his hand helping him up as he went by us. Which direction is the best? If the choosing is confusing maybe it's the math you're using, you don't need to chart to guide you, close your eyes and look inside you hah hah! Jacquimo sang as he spins Thumbelina around making her eyes shut but she opens her eyes a little but Jacquimo closes her eyes for a second and snapped her eyes as I saw her beam happily while I smiled. Then Jacquimo took her arm while he did me on the other side as I took Jacques wing as we kick our leg in the air coming down until we're at the bottom continue to sing with the chickadees and small male birds wearing different color hats and scarf. You're sure do impossible things, if you know where to start. Jacques twirl me around and letting me go as Jacquimo did the same with Thumbelina while we laughed. Your dreams will fly on magical wings when you follow…"
Just trust the swallow. Jacquimo sang as all of us rush down holding each other hands and we sang the last part taking our breath. And always follow your heart! All of us finish singing as all the chickadees clapped and whistle happily while the music still plays. I laugh while Thumbelina smiled happily giggling twirling her dress. Then Jacquimo gently push us having us get going smiling his beak.
"Bon Voyage ladies and never fear Thumbelina, I will find the prince!" He called as her and I rushed down to the tall grass while the little jitterbugs follow us wanting to come with us. Jacques flew down having his guitar on his back and landed by us.
"I'll be back Uncle Jacica after I help Ashley find Thumbelina find her way home to help you." He called as all of us waved.
"Goodbye!" Thumbelina called.
"Thanks for everything!" I added and we look at each other and smiled.
"Oh he's wonderful and I'm going home." She sighed. We nodded smiling.
"Yes, yes he is and let's go!" I replied giggling while Jacques smiled his beak and we all turned and make our way to find her way home hearing the music stops.
