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!))

"Interesting's a good word for it," he admitted. "Didn't you ever read comic books? You know, Nightcrawler, bamph. The teleporting thing."

"Would you like a toffee?" Fred asked, digging in his pocket. Even if he and his clothes had grown, it seemed like his candy hadn't, so he not only had to search through his pocket until he found the little things, but he also had to hold it all quite close to his face so he could figure out what was what.

"I can't say I have read it," he said. "It's actually a wizard thing." James had told him that it was fine to let the muggles know that he was a wizard (though, he wasn't sure that this fellow was a muggle), so he didn't have any qualms with telling him.

"Don't mind if I do," Virgil said pleasantly, taking the toffee and unwrapping it. "...Wizard, huh? Are you for real? Normally I wouldn't ask, but seeing as I saw Boba Fett running around the other day..."

Hold on just a minute, this guy actually looked pretty familiar. Virgil peered at him suspiciously. "Do I know you from somewhere?" Not that this guy'd know if it was Saturday morning cartoons or some comic or something about wizards, wizards...

"You don't know a guy by name of Harry Potter, do you?" he guessed.

"Of course I'm for real," Fred said, smiling broadly. When Virgil took the toffee, Fred was surprised, but didn't let it show. After all that conversation about interesting candies and strangers...

"Yep," said Fred, his smile growing. "He's a good friend."

[superherogifted.livejournal.com]

"Damn," Virgil said, surprised. "What's next? Here's hoping for Lara Croft!" Then he paused, about to put the toffee in his mouth. "...You aren't the one with the twin brother, are you? This isn't gonna turn me into a canary or something is it? Cause yellow isn't really my color."

Fred's grin only managed to get bigger. "Ah, so you've heard about George and I, have you?" of course he had, he and George were legends at Hogwarts. "Don't worry, it's not a Canary Cream."

"Uh-huh," Virgil said skeptically. "Well, thanks but no thanks. I think you guys are cool and all, but you don't get to be a superhero by being gullible."

He rewrapped the toffee and put it in his pocket. "By the way," he added, "you know who'd make a great canary if you're taking requests? Guy named Hot Streak, big, dumb looking, red and yellow hair. Just watch out, he shoots fireballs."

"A superhero?" Fred asked. "That explains the outfit." He had read a couple of muggle comics, and therefore knew exactly what a superhero was.

Fred couldn't help but snort at that. That was the second request he'd gotten so far. He was going to need to start making a list. "Shoots fireballs, huh?" he asked. "How does he manage that? Is he a supervillian then?"

"Hey, as far as superhero outfits go, I think this one is pretty kickin'," Virgil protested. "At least I'm not wearing my underwear on the outside, right?"

"More like a super-annoyance," he admitted. "He doesn't really plot to take over the world, he's just a jerk who likes to blow stuff up."

[prankster-fred.livejournal.com]

"I'll give it that much," he said.

He had to laugh at that though. "Hey, George and I like to blow stuff up," he said. "It's a very respectable pastime."

[superherogifted.livejournal.com]

"Oh, hey, I meant no disrespect," he replied. "It sure is. The difference is, Hot Streak doesn't care who gets hurt. He also doesn't have a sense of humor to speak of."

[prankster-fred.livejournal.com]

Fred's eyebrows shot up. "No sense of humour?!" he asked, aghast. "Well, George and I will need to fix that, now won't we?"

[superherogifted.livejournal.com]

"Good luck," Virgil said. "Seriously don't get set on fire or make me save your asses or anything, though. Also, if I know my Disney movies, I bet those little bottles lying around will fix you right up when you're ready."

[prankster-fred.livejournal.com]

Fred laughed. "Don't worry about us," Fred said. "My brother and I have some other tricks up our sleeves. You won't need to save either of us."

"Good to hear it," Static said, grinning.
