Even though they were prisoners and had bombs in their heads, Bong-cha and her friends would have rather played a thousand shows for the Normal than what they were doing now. She was confused when Misery said that the band could play at the park but this is not what they had in mind.
The punk group had no idea the stage they had chosen to play on was enchanted much like most things in the amusement park.
Bong-cha, Setepenre and Luca were standing on a colorful stage wearing matching outfits; white button down shirts with red and blue polkadots and big yellow bow ties. Rainbow suspenders held up blue skirts with pink fluffy petticoats for Bong-cha and Setepenre and a pair of blue shorts for Luca. The latter of which had transformed into a more dog like version of his werewolf form with a spinning top hat. Bong-cha had grown the fur and wings of a bat with pink bows tied around her large bat ears. Setepenre had become a hippo with a big multicolored Afro and had the same goofy smile the others had.
Instead of their normal instruments, they now had colorful replacements; the guitars were replaced with acoustic ones and the drum set became two snare drums. Instead of their harsh punk music they intended to play they were now playing childish mind numbing melodies with lullaby like lyrics. There was even a sign calling them “The Happy Life Harmonies, starring Bing-Bong-cha, Big Seteppo, and Lukey”.
Bong-cha tried to signal Lilith and Ann when she saw them walk by,
“I think Bing-Bong-cha is waving at you!” Ann said failing to hide her laughter at the band’s predicament.
Lilith simply shrugged her shoulders with a pitying look and continued on with the other goth girl. When the two girls were walking away she could see they both sported cute furry cat tails.
The vampire was humiliated and was going to knock down the Ferris wheel if Circe and Misery had planned this.
The three wanted to escape their forced performance and knew that they would return to normal once the show was over, unless the crowd called for an encore…

Hinata hadn’t heard much about this place but knew it must be dangerous if the Normal forbid anyone to travel to this timeline. So far everything seemed like a normal cheery amusement park, vampires, anthros, even dragons and other kitsune roamed the park alongside humans. The Asian girl thought that she looked out of place in her tidy and smart school uniform, but nobody paid any attention to her besides the courteous smiles and waves.
She noticed that some of the patrons had changed in appearance whenever they got off a ride or participated in some kind of activity, she stayed clear of such things and focused her magical senses on locating her targets. She only planned to observe them but steeled herself for a fight if they attempted to teleport away once more, they would not escape the Normal this time.
Hinata thought about Delta Romeo and how they would have been useful in this mission if they hadn’t died on their mission to kill the Tozawa’s. She pushed them out of her mind and gripped the guitar case tighter, she would do this alone if she had to. Hee sword and foxfire would protect her from the dark wizard that killed Felix, the holy light of Moon Slayer was quite effective against the servants of darkness.

Jolie was never one for amusement parks, she found the many smiling faces and laughing cheering crowds to be a bit much. She preferred the quiet of graveyards or somber, body filled, battlefields. She wasn’t interested in any of the rides or activities or even the food, despite having to drag herself away from a cake stand. The necromancer was also not tall enough to ride the more exciting rides, but she didn’t fancy the idea of her body being changed. She wondered why Circe would settle for these cheep parlor tricks and silly gimmicks, the girl remembered when Circe had an army of loyal beasts, Lilith too was once the feared demon queen. Jolie couldn’t escape the feeling they were trying to bring her over to the light as well, she then looked around and realized that all these people would be perfect tools for her to finish what she started on that island.
No, that wasn’t wise, with Jack and Kellie still in the park they could be too much trouble for her to deal with, plus that Solar Guardian had the ability to control the dead. Jolie didn’t know if she would be able to control her but knew she wouldn’t want to test that theory.
With a sigh she summoned a bone like blade and slashed a nearby cat hybrid’s throat and used the blood to draw a menacing looking circle with cryptic runes and symbols.—-
That’s what she planned on doing but instead the cat creature handed the girl a balloon and suddenly she began to lose her height, her features became more cute and her clothes looked around her. When she noticed this the now five year old began to cry, still clutching the pink balloon. A nearby giraffe employee picked up the little white haired girl and placed a lollipop in her mouth, this instantly calmed the girl down and reformed her clothes into pink overalls with a collared striped shirt underneath, purple glittery Velcro shoes covered her feet that lit up when she walked.
While the preschooler Jolie giggled at her flashing shoes while another employee pulled her white hair into two pigtails. When the tiny necromancer realized this she shook her head in excitement and started running through the park with her balloon still in her small hands.
