Eat Me, Drink Me

[that-depends.livejournal.com]

Scattered around the park are four smallish glass bottles filled with a mysterious liquid (tasting deliciously of cherry tart, custard, pinapple, roast turkey, toffy, and hot buttered toast). A paper label is attached to each, with the words "DRINK ME" beautifully printed on it in large letters.

Scattered elsewhere are four little glass boxes, containing small cakes on which the words "EAT ME" are beautifully marked in currants.

Neither is marked "poison," which is sensible since neither are poisonous. However, the Surgeon General, were he here, would probably be a little put out that other effects aren't warned about on the packaging.

((The bottles (in Frontierland, Tomorrowland, New Orleans Square, and Toon Town) make you shrink, the cakes (in Main Street, Fantasyland, Adventureland, and Critter Country) make you grow. Have fun!))

If it wasn't for the fact Setsuna was already drunk on moonshine -- again -- he would have taken one look at the little bottle in Tomorrowland and walked away at once, and this was because he wasn't very clever; however, inebriated as he was, Setsuna looked at the bottle and thought this a great joke of some sort. His addled brain somehow decided the park was giving out free liquor, and he grabbed it and took a drink at once.

Next moment he knew, he had wonderful flavors in his mouth, and...the ground was much closer to his eyes than it had ever been and everything suddenly looked taller.

"...what kind of alcohol-" hiccup "-was that?" Confused, and laughing about the greatest effects ever (had he gotten high on something, somehow?), Setsuna wandered off towards the theatre, eager to tell Kira about this. (But not Sara. She'd probably kill him.)

Fred knew better than to eat or drink random things with signs that were lying around with no one around them.

This didn't meant it was going to stop him from actually consuming whatever it was. Curiosity won out over caution, and he wanted to what would happen - if anything - if he drank whatever was on the side of the road.

He was quite impressed (and only a little surprised), when he started growing. As great as that potion seemed to be though, he had to dock the prankster marks for being so obvious about it though.

When Leon saw the cakes on the side of the street, he frowned right away. He hadn't trusted the park from the beginning, and he know that this was some sort of not-so-clever ploy to poison the park residents.

Upon realizing he couldn't get rid of the cakes - like everything else in the park - he ran up to get a black marker, and on the sign of the cakes, and of every other sign that he ran across (he did, indeed, look for them), he wrote "Don't" on the top of the signs.

He knew there would be people who would eat them just because of it, but he hoped he could stop at least some people. On the other hand, part of him suspected that the park would have none of this behavior, and was sure once he got back to Main Street, his "Don't" would be gone.

The "Don't" was indeed gone by the time Leon made it back to look at any of his handiwork.

Ash had missed the Critter Country eat me cakes, but it wasn't long before he ran into the bottles left out at Frontierland.

"Sure, okay," Ash said, reaching for a bottle, and then he stopped.

"Wait a minute..." he said suspiciously, and turned and pointed into the bushes. "I'm onto you, Team Rocket!."

He waited a few seconds, but when nobody jumped out to say a motto or snatch Pikachu, he picked up a bottle and opened it.

"Want any, Pikachu?" he asked before drinking.

Static stepped outside, saw the bottles, and raised an eyebrow. "Ye-ah, I don't think so," he said skeptically. He flew up above the park, and flew around, noting the locations of the other bottles and plates of food, and then decided to hover and wait to make sure nothing else happened.

Misty or Brock probably would have warned Ash about drinking from something that had just been left lying around, but Pikachu was not Misty or Brock. He merely declined the drink with a shaken head and a polite, "Pika," and then hopped around Ash so his Trainer was shielding him from the bushes. It would be just like Team Rocket to not be honest and sneakily say their motto after executing their plan!

[palletkid.livejournal.com]

Ash took a drink. "Suit yourself!" he said cheerfully. "It's good! It tastes sorta like cherry pie--"

Ash paused there and jumped, because Pikachu had suddenly grown gigantic. "Pikachu! Did...you just evolve?"

That obviously make no sense, because Pikachu evolved into Raichu, not a gigantic Pikachu. But what other explanation could there be?

[lightningpika.livejournal.com]

... Where had Ash gone?

Pikachu looked around for his Trainer, even ran around a little. "Pika-pi!" he called. "Pika-pi!"

[palletkid.livejournal.com]

Getting trampled by a gigantic Pikachu didn't seem like very much fun.

"I'm right here!" he shouted, waving while getting out of the way. "Buddy! You just got gigantic, that's all."

[lightningpika.livejournal.com]

Pikachu glanced down to see if there was a trap door Ash had disappeared into, and found a tiny Ash. "Pika-pi?" he asked, leaning down to look at the little person and try to work out what could have caused his Trainer to shrink, or whether Team Rocket had just come up with something quite cunning. "Pi?"

[palletkid.livejournal.com]

"I...don't know," Ash replied, confused. "How'd you get so big? Did you eat anything funny?"

[lightningpika.livejournal.com]

Pikachu shook his head. Nothing had happened to his size. "Pika-pi pikachu!" he said.

[palletkid.livejournal.com]

"Huh? What do you mean I--" he glanced around, and realized everything looked bigger, not just Pikachu. "I shrunk! What could have--" Ash's eyes narrowed. "Team Rocket must be behind this after all. You'll never get Pikachu!" he shouted.

[lightningpika.livejournal.com]

He had been right! It was always Team Rocket. Pikachu looked around suspiciously for a metal clamp to shoot towards him not that he could avoid it.

"Pika!" he added defiantly, and waited for the motto.

[palletkid.livejournal.com]

Ash waited too, glaring angrily at the bushes. After a few seconds, he shouted "Hey! Come out and say your dumb motto already, it's not like we have all day!"

[lightningpika.livejournal.com]

Pikachu nodded and joined in glaring at the bushes. Any moment now, Team Rocket would say their stupid motto...

[palletkid.livejournal.com]

Ash frowned. "Well, that's rude," he said, "keeping us waiting. But then again, what can you expect from those guys. Let's get out of here, Pikachu."

[lightningpika.livejournal.com]

Pikachu nodded and lowered himself to the ground a little, so Ash could climb on. "Pika!" he instructed his trainer, somewhat cheerfuller.

[palletkid.livejournal.com]

Ash climbed up onto Pikachu's back, holding onto his neck to stay on. "How's this?" he asked. He wasn't as small compared to Pikachu as Pikachu normally was compared to him, so he didn't want to be too heavy for Pikachu to carry.

[lightningpika.livejournal.com]

Pikachu smiled and assured him with a, "Pika-pika!" it was fine. It felt a bit odd to be the carrier instead of the carried, but Pikachu didn't mind, and set off on all fours with Ash on his back. It was going to be fun!

[palletkid.livejournal.com]

"Okay! Where to, buddy?" asked Ash cheerfully, Team Rocket forgotten.

[lightningpika.livejournal.com]

"Pika!" replied Pikachu cheerfully and headed towards Tomorrowland, as he was a bit hungry.

It wasn't entirely possible to be sneaky and 30-feet-tall, but Fred figured that he might at least be able to Apparate while he was it (he wondered if he'd get spliched. It sounded uncomfortable while he was normal sized, he wondered what it would be like if he was gigantic).

He happened to Apparate with a very loud CRACK right in front of where Static happened to be.

"Oh!" he said, looking at the little man. "Hullo there."

[superherogifted.livejournal.com]

"I take it you you tried the snack cakes," he deadpanned.
