Okay, here's the first chapter and beginning of my Corpse Bride parody. And thanks for the suggestions.
Chapter 1, According to Plan
Our story begins a long time ago, in a small, dreary town near Andalasia. In a small bedroom, we meet two teenage boys sketching in two books. The first was a 15 year old teenage boy with light and dark brown spiked hair, black suit, big yellow shoes and wears an crown necklace. His name is Sora. The second was a 15 year old teenage boy with bright blue eyes, golden blond hair, wears a white shirt with white pants and like Sora, he wears a necklace. His name is Roxas. Sora and Roxas looked up at the subject of their drawing: a large butterfly trapped in a bell jar. After they were done drawing, they let the moth go, and they watched it fly into the streets below.
At one part of the butterfly's visits, there was a man wearing a butcher's outfit chopping not beef, but fish named Mario, one of two employees of the Strife Fish Company. With him was his wearing the same outfit as Mario named Luigi and doing the same job. As they chopped fish, the two failed to notice a cloaked figure walking past them.
A town crier named Peter Griffin (Family Guy) came out on the streets and did his job ringing a bell and shouting, "Hear ye! Hear ye! Ten minutes til the Strife-de Vil wedding rehearsal!"
The cloaked figure, revealed to be a young girl, overheard the announcement just as the moth flew past her. Annoyed, she swat at it with her hand.
Mario and Luigi heard Peter's announcement, too. "Looks-a like we better get-a ready, Mario," Luigi said.
"Sure thing!" Mario agreed as he got onto the front seat of a carriage near their workplace. After Luigi jumped aboard, Mario got the horses up and going towards Sora's house. Sora watched from a window, feeling slightly worried.
Downstairs, there were two people who were pretty excited about what's to come. The first was a woman with brown hair, and she wore a pink gown for the occasion. Her name was Aerith Gainsborough.
With Aerith was a man with blond hair, and wore a dark blue tuxedo and black shoes. His name was Cloud Strife. As they were preparing to leave, Cloud and Aerith began to sing.
Aerith: It's a beautiful day
Cloud: It's a rather nice day
Aerith: A day for a glorious wedding
Cloud put a shawl around Aerith's shoulders while the latter took out a fan.
Cloud: A rehearsal, my dear
To be perfectly clear
Aerith: A rehearsal for a glorious wedding
The two went down the steps for their carriage, with Cloud holding Aerith's hand.
Cloud: Assuming nothing happens
That we don't really know
Aerith: That nothing unexpected
Interferes with the show
When the couple arrived, Mario and Luigi had gotten rid of their butcher's suits and replaced them with shabby, nice clothes. They also took the time to get rid of the fish ad on the side of the carriage.
Both: And that's why everything
Every last little thing
Every single, tiny, microscopic thing
Aerith: Must go according to plan
Soon, Cloud and Aerith started to twirl with excitement over their plan.
Cloud: Our son will be married
Aerith: According to plan
Cloud: Our family will be carried
Both: Elevated to the heights of society
Aerith: To the costume balls
Cloud: In the hallowed halls
Aerith:Rubbing with the finest
Cloud: Having crumpets with Her Highness
In an alley nearby, the cloaked teenage girl overheard the couple and smiled with sinister intrigue.
Both: We'll be there
We'll be seen
Having tea with the queen
We'll forget everything
That we've ever ever been
Cloud opened the door for Aerith and helped her up the steps. But before she got her whole body into the carriage, Aerith slipped and fell on the ground.
"Cloud! Help me up!" she demanded. "My dress will get ruined!"
"Of course, Aerith," Cloud responded as he got Aerith back on her feet.
After getting back on her feet, Aerith looked up at Sora's window and scowled. "Where is Sora? We're going to be late for his wedding."
At the other side of town, another couple is getting ready for the wedding, only without enthusiasm. The first was a woman with black and white hair, a black dress, red shoes, and a fur coat. Her name was Cruella de Vil.
The other was a man wearing a red shirt, black pants, had an orange moustache and glasses. His name was Dr. Eggman.
As Eggman watched Sora, Roxas, Cloud and Aerith get into the carriage through binoculars, Cruella frowned at them. "Fish merchants," she muttered to her husband as they turned away from the window.
Cruella: It's a terrible day
Eggman: Now don't be that way
Cruella: It's a terrible day for a wedding
Eggman: It's a sad sad state of affairs we're in
Cruella: That has led to this ominous wedding
The two left their room and went down a hallway until they stopped at a portrait. Their maid, Aqua (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep), was dusting nearby.
Eggman: How could our family have come to this?
Both: To marry off our son
To the nouveau-riche
Cruella: They're so common
Eggman: So course
Cruella: Oh it couldn't be worse
Eggman sighed. "Couldn't be worse? I'm afraid I disagree." To prove his point, he opened the portrait to reveal a safe. After using the combination, he opened the safe, which was revealed to be empty except for cobwebs.
"They could be land-rich, bankrupt aristocracy," Eggman continued. "Without a penny to their name just like you and me."
"Oh dear!" Cruella cried when she looked into the safe. She and Eggman continued down the hallway while Courtney (Total Drama) dusted the cobwebs from the safe.
Both: And that's why everything
Every last little thing
Every single, tiny, microscopic thing
Must go
Cruella: According to plan
The couple passed by more portraits as they continued down the hallway.
Eggman: Our son will wed
Cruella: According to plan
Eggman: Our family led
Both: From the depths of deepest poverty
Cruella: To the noble realm
Jafar: Of our ancestry
The couple stopped at a portrait of a 15 year old teenage girl with short brown hair, pink dress with a black belt, and light purple shoes. This is their daughter, Kairi.
Both:And who would've guessed in a million years
That our son with a face of an otter in disgrace
Would provide our ticket to our rightful place
Moments later, Kairi was in her room with Aqua, who was getting her wedding gown ready for the rehearsal.
"Aqua, what if Sora and I don't like each other?" Kairi asked Courtney as she put the finishing touches on her dress.
But Courtney didn't get to answer, for Cruella and Eggman overheard Scourge the Hedgehog and showed up at her door. "As if love has anything to do with marriage!" Cruella scoffed. "Do you suppose your father and I like each other?"
"Surely you must...a little."
Cruella and Eggman looked at one another, then answered, "Definitely not!" With that, they left the room, while Aqua continued to work on Scourge's suit.
"Get those corsets laced properly!" Cruella ordered Courtney, "I can hear you speak without gasping."
Meanwhile, Sora and Roxas finally made it out of the house and ran into the carriage where his parents were waiting. Once they were on their way, Cloud patted Sora and Roxas on the knees and said, "You certainly hooked a winner this time, boys!"
"Now all you have to do is reel him in!" Aerith added with scheming in her voice.
But Sora and Roxas weren't feeling excited. "But were already reeling, Mom. Shouldn't Scourge marry a lady or...someone of higher regard?"
Aerith scoffed. "Nonsense! We're every bit as good as they are! I always thought I deserve better than to be a fish merchant's wife."
"But mom hasn't even spoken to this man," Roxas added.
"Well, at least that works in our favor," Aerith shrugged. At that moment, Luigi was coughing loudly outside. Annoyed, Aerith banged at the top of the carriage and snapped, "Silence that blasted coughing!"
"Sorry, Mrs. Strife," Luigi apologized. "Mario and I just have a bad cold, that's all." Aerith just rolled her eyes.
Back at Eggman and Cruella's house...
As they went down the stairs, Cruella said to her husband, "Marriage to a partnership. A little tit for tat. You'd think a lifetime of watching us..." Then she and Eggman started to sing again.
Cruella: Might have taught her that
Might have taught her that
Eggman: Everything must be perfect
Both: Everything must be perfect
As Cruella and Eggman went down the stairs, Cloud and Aerith went up the steps to the house with Sora and Roxas following them.
Both Couples: Perfect
That's why everything
Every last little thing
Every single, tiny, microscopic thing
Must go according to plan!
When she reached the door, Aerith pressed the doorbell and, as she waited, took the time to make sure Sora looked perfect.
Eggman and Cruella's butler, Alfred Pennyworth (Batman), opened the door to find Aerith's back towards him.
"Stand up, boys," Aerith told Sora and Roxas. Aerith turned and laughed nervously at Alfred. She, Cloud, Sora and Roxas went inside and found Cruella and Eggman waiting for them.
Aerith looked at her surroundings and smiled. "My, such grandeur! What impeccable taste!"
"Hmph, not as big as our place," Cloud told her. "A little shabby, isn't it?"
"Hush!" Aerith hissed. She smiled nervously as she and Cloud turned to face Cruella and Eggman.
Alfred cleared his throat. "Lord and Lady de Vil, this is Mr. and Mrs. Strife," he announced to Cloud and Aerith.
"Why, you must be Lady Cruella," Cloud said as he shook Cruella's hand. "I must say, you don't look a day over 20."
Cruella pulled her hand away and nudged Eggman in the ribs. "Smile, dear!" she hissed.
Eggman reluctantly tried to smile, and he finally gave Aerith and Cloud a crooked smile. "Well, hello. What a pleasure! Welcome to our home!"
"Why, thank you," Aerith replied.
"We'll be serving tea in the drawing room," Cruella told her guests. "Come this way, please." She and Eggman led the way to the dining room with Cloud and Aerith following them. and left Sora and Roxas alone in the living room.
Observing the interior, Aerith told Cruella, "I love what you've done with the place! Who's your decorator?"
Cloud looked at the floor and thought aloud, "Nice tiles." He looked up at the drapes. "Shame about the drapes, though."
"Oh, don't mind him," Aerith said to Cruella, who raised an eyebrow at Cruella's comments. "He doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time."
"Fine, just ignore me." With that, the adults were gone, while Roxas and Sora are alone in the living room.
There you have it. The song and Sora and Roxas planning to be married. Read and review, people.
