... the tale of Snow White. I wonder if there are any other... tales out there like this.

That was the magic of Pleasure Island! The worse they acted, the more donkey-like they became... 'give a boy enough rope, and he'll make a jackass out of himself', so the peddler said.

It affected Pinocchio too... he grew donkey ears, and a donkey tail! But this time, he finally listened to Jiminy, and got off the island before he was turned completely into a donkey. He ran straight home, only to find Geppetto missing. While Pinocchio was gone, Geppetto had gotten so worried and had left to search for him. Now Pinocchio and Jiminy began to search for him, and they found out Geppetto had used a small boat to search over the sea. Pinocchio and Jiminy went to the sea to look for Gepptetto... but then, a giant whale swallowed them whole!

[Aaaaaaaaand cue Monstro. Ah.]

... normally that's when... Sora and the others found them.

But in this tale, Sora wasn't around to help them. They could only count on themselves, as they went further and further down into the whale's belly.

It was very scary, because the inside of the whale was very dark. But to their surprise, Geppetto was in the whale too! While looking for his son, he'd also gotten swallowed up! Pinocchio wanted to save his father and Jiminy and make up for all the trouble he caused. So, using the boat, he created a fire, and the smoke caused the whale to cough them up. But then the whale was very angry with them, and chased them up to some dangerous rocks. Pinocchio pushed his father out of the way, and took the whale's attack...

... and when Geppetto and Jiminy found Pinocchio on the shore... he wasn't moving.

[D:

This doesn't sound like a happy ending!!]

W-what happened to him?

[... he was just a puppet. Of course he wouldn't...]

Though he was wooden, he still had life... and he sacrificed that life for the ones he loved.

Geppetto and Jiminy cried and cried... They took Pinocchio home, and laid him to bed. But as they cried, they were visited once more by the Blue Fairy. Pinocchio's quick thinking, courage, and love for his family and friends had proven that he was a real boy on the inside. So she used her magic to turn his wood into flesh... and now he was a real boy inside and out. He jumped out of bed, and hugged his father! They danced with Jiminy all through the night, and they lived happily ever after.

So he became... real? That's... that's really good for him.

[She didn't want their fate on someone like Pinocchio. Their similarities were astounding. She wanted a happy ending for him.]
