Y/N stood there, frozen to the spot with terror and blatant curiosity.

Fleegle's fabric covered face twitched as he spoke.

Fleegle: "Hey there, cutie!"

Y/N could swear that her face had caught fire, at least that's what it felt like to her. She could also swear to her cheeks turning a charming beetroot colour.

Y/N had never had much luck with love: she was always very shy and not very outgoing. To hear a character from a fictional film call her 'cutie' made Y/N feel both awkward ... and flustered.

Y/N hoped that the Banana Splits didn't notice.

Fleegle's fixed silly grin crinkled slightly as he looked at her.

Y/N suddenly had a nagging feeling that the leader of the Banana Splits was smirking underneath all that fabric.

Drooper: "Didn't you like our show?"

The lion animatronic looked surprised ... but then again, he always looked surprised.

"Oh no, no, no, no, I did like it! It's just that ... I wish ..."

Y/N sighed loudly.

"... I wish that I'd been in it. It looked fun." And I could have saved a lot of people, she added in her head.

The Banana Splits all turned and looked at each other for several seconds.

Then Bingo turned back to face Y/N, his comrades following him.

Bingo: "Say, would you like to be a star with us? We do have stars, y'know!"

Y/N frowned.

Y/N: "What do you mean?"

Fleegle stepped forward, spreading his arms wide in celebration.

Fleegle: "You can join us, be part of the fun! Because, as we all know, the show ..."

"... must go on", Y/N and Fleegle said together.

Y/N rolled her eyes.

Drooper clapped in excitement.

Drooper: "She gets it! See, she gets it! Can we keep her, Fleegle?"

Y/N: "Whoa! Hold your horses now!"

Y/N held up her hands in a 'slow-down, slow-down' posture.

Y/N: "First of all, it's still my birthday, not showtime with you guys ... second, you're just characters in a movie ... and third, how the hell do you expect me to get there?!"

As Y/N spoke the last word, she pointed at the Banana Splits on the tv screen.

Fleegle 'smirked' again.

Fleegle: "Easy! I'll do a magic trick! Just stand there, Y/N!"

Y/N felt like she was rooted to the spot with apprehension and creeping dread.

Fleegle produced a wand from behind his back and seemed to tap the very tv screen with it.

Y/N: "What are you ..."

Fleegle: "Banana cadabra!"

Everything seemed to slow down after he said that.

Y/N felt a tingly, pins-and-needles feeling all over her body, and looked down at her body to see it dissolving into flashing, sparkly points of light!

WHAT THE HECK?!

It was like she was turning into pixels or something?!

All the ... pixels were been sucked towards and into the screen, where Fleegle's face had now taken up the whole screen.

Y/N gasped at the sight of him.

His eyes were glowing red, and he was DEFINITELY smirking now!

Fleegle: "WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN!"

The dog animatronic laughed the same crazed laugh he had done at the film's ending.

Drooper: "See ya there, cutie!"

Y/N was panicking.

Oh wrecks! Oh wrecks, this is bad! Y/N thought, as finally all of her dissolved and was sucked into the glowing screen.

It was like being on a closed, really speedy water ride: whirled around, sloshed from side to side, going so fast that it made you slightly queasy.

Y/N didn't like it.

Y/N wished it over.

Y/N wished for something solid.

A second later, it arrived ... something very solid.

Y/N smacked into it, hard.

What did she hit? It's anyone's guess! 😉 Actually, I'll give kudos to anyone who can accurately guess what Y/N hit!
