Chapter 5: The Search for the Three Lamps

Meanwhile, in the dungeon of the palace, Roger was not dead as Vincent said, he was alive and well, with his hands chained to the wall.

Roger: (to himself) She was the princess...I don't believe it. I must've sounded so stupid to her!

Voice: Yo, Roger, up here!

He looked up and saw a familiar baby at a window at the top of the dungeon.

Roger: (smiles) Baby Herman! Get down here, quickly!

Baby Herman: Coming down!

He climbs down the chain to land on the floor near his rabbit friend.

Roger: Boy, am I glad to see you. Help me out of these chains, will ya?

Voice: Yeah, could you help us out too?

They turned to see five stuffed animals chained to the wall. The five consisted of a small pink pig wearing a leotard, a green-yellow rabbit, a blue-gray donkey with a black mane and a dettachable tail, an orange tiger, and a yellow bear wearing a red t-shirt. They were known as Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore, Tigger and Winnie the Pooh, or just Pooh.

Roger: Okay, and who are you?

Pooh: Well, this is Piglet, Rabbit, Tigger and Eeyore.

Eeyore: Thanks for noticing me.

Pooh: Anyway, I'm Winnie the Pooh, or Pooh for short. I was wondering if you could also help us out of here.

Roger: Well, what are you in for?

Tigger: Well, we are a traveling entertainment group from another kingdom, and one day, in the marketplace, I was practing my Whoop-de-Dooper-Loop-de-Looper-Ally-Ooper-Bounce, for the crowd...

Rabbit: Which we said was a bad idea, but he didn't listen, so he ended up destroying a priceless artifact, and got arrested for it.

Tigger: I said I was sorry!

Piglet: Anyway, we tried to stick up for him in the royal court, but then all five of us got thrown in here. We really want to get out of this place and town!

Baby Herman: Well, maybe I'll let them out, mostly because kids like me like stuffed animals, but that doesn't mean I'll do the same for you, after the way you were with that dame! (immitating Jessica) Oh, Roger, you are so handsome and brave. Let me run away with you to avoid being a princess, darling! (normal tone) Yadda, yadda, yadda! You should've just ignored the broad and mind your own dang beeswax!

Roger: I couldn't help it, Baby Herman. She was in trouble, and you don't just leave a damsel-in-distress in...distress...(sighs) but she was totally worth it.

Baby Herman took out a picklock and rolled his eyes as he started using it to pick the locks on Roger.

Pooh: Wait, are you referring to Princess Jessica Hood?

Tigger: That princess is a babe!

Rabbit: Tigger, you're not helping!

Tigger: Sorry, I'm just saying.

Baby Herman: (sighs) Can we please stop talking about her, please?!

Baby Herman set Roger's hands free.

Baby Herman: You're lucky you're the only one who'll look after me, since my mom is missing.

Eeyore: Don't worry, son, your rabbit friend won't see her again.

He soon went to set the stuffed animals free.

Roger: The gloomy donkey's right, I'm a commoner, remember? A street rabbit, and there's a law.

Tigger: Oh yeah, she has to marry a prince.

Roger: (rubs his hands) She deserves one, plus being a rabbit would make it even weirder.

Baby Herman: There, you guys are free.

Rabbit: I don't know about that, Roger. I know quite a few interspecies relationships that have worked out without much questioning. Plus, most women prefer rabbits, especially human women. Why, I believe I've met a few who...

Tigger: (interupts him/scoffs) Get real, long-ears, you've never met any women, let alone human ones!

Rabbit: Shows what you know, Tigger! I have a life outside my garden and home, you know!

Roger: (annoyed) It still doesn't matter, I'm still not royalty! (sighs) I'm a fool.

Voice: You're only a fool if you give up, boy.

They turned and saw an elderly-looking non-descript bear in commoner robes, looking straight at them. Piglet yelped as he hid in Pooh's shirt.

Pooh: I didn't know that old geezer was in the same dungeon with us!

Tigger: He looks old enough to be here since the city was founded!

Roger: Who are you?

He slowly walked up to them as he spoke.

Elderly Bear: Only a lowly prisoner, like yourselves, but together, perhaps we can be more.

Tigger: Well, you've got our attention.

Rabbit: What do you mean, "more?"

Elderly Bear: I know of a cave, my friends...a cave of wonders.

He then showed them a handful of jewels to prove his point, much to their amazement, especially Baby Herman's.

Elderly Bear: Filled with treasures beyond your wildest dreams.

He put them back, before he continued.

Elderly Bear: Treasure enough to impress even your princess, I bet.

Unknown to any of them, RJ poked his head out of the back of the elderly bear as he quietly spoke in exhaustion while sweating.

RJ: Yo, Vince, could you hurry it up? I'm dying in here!

He was punched back into the elderly bear, who was really Vincent in disguise.

RJ: Ahh!

Roger: But the law...it says she can only marry-

Vincent: (interupts) You've heard of the golden rule, haven't you. Whoever has the gold makes the rules!

The villain shows his mouth, which looked gross, as he made a wheezing sound. His teeth look like they haven't been brushed in years, disgusting the group out.

Baby Herman: (quietly) He's obviously never heard of toothpaste!

Pooh: (confused) Never heard of THAT "golden rule" before. I always thought it was "do unto others as you would have them unto you."

Vincent: (sarcastically) Oh sure, get biblical, (normal tone) but this is treasure we're talking here!

Roger: So why share all this magnificent treasure with us?

Vincent: I need someone with young legs and a strong back to go after it. (looks at his friends) Your friends too. Let's face it, you boys would do a better job than I would. So, how about it?

Tigger: Okay, old man, so you want us to go after that treasure, that's really neat, except one thing's standing in our way. It's out there and we're locked in this dungeon.

Vincent: Ah, but best to remember...(pushes a brick on the wall with cane) things are not always what they seem.

The opening on the wall was revealed, showing an exit, amazing the group.

Vincent: (reaching for them) Now, do we have a deal?

They looked at each other, then nodded, except for Piglet, who was worried.

Piglet: Oh, I hope I live to regret this!

Later, the group went through the desert on horses, while a crazy storm was blowing through, but our heroes raged through. Later, the disguised bear had already used the golden dung beetle trick to summon the cave once more while the group looked in surprise, with Piglet shivering in fear.

Piglet: That cave has one b-b-big mouth!

Cave: Who disturbs my slumber?

Roger: (nervously) Uh, it is I, Roger Rabbit!

The cave rose a brow as it looked carefully at Roger, then it nodded.

Cave: Proceed. But, a warning: touch nothing but the lamps.

The cave roared as it opened up. They saw the stairs from where they were at.

Vincent: Remember! First fetch me the three lamps, then we'll discuss your reward!

Tigger: I wonder why that old crabapple wants those lamps so badly!

Roger: We'll find out later. Come on.

Most of the group nodded, while Baby Herman and Piglet shivered. The others, with Baby Herman nervously following, headed into the entrance and went downstairs. Meanwhile, Piglet just stood at the entrance.

Piglet: Ohhhhhhhh no. I'm not going in there! Tiger head-shaped caves are never, EVER friendly! If I step in, it'll try to eat me!

Rabbit stopped at one step and turned to the small pig.

Rabbit: Piglet, we made it in with Roger and nothing happened to us yet; but tell you what, Piglet. You can wait out here and be on the lookout for desert snakes.

They continued their way on in.

Piglet: Okay, thanks, I'll just wait out here for...

He then realized.

Piglet: Desert snakes?! WAIT FOR ME!

With that, Piglet dove into the cave and made it with his friends.

Rabbit: (smirks) Ha! Works every time! There are no desert snakes, I'm smarter!

Piglet: I heard that!

The stairs were huge and they lead downardly as the group walked down. They then got to the bottom and entered a big room as they smiled and looked astounded.

Roger: Wow, just look at all of this!

The group saw the room was full of treasure as far as the eye can see. There was enough treasure to fill the Greek Colliseum.

Pooh: Just a certain amount of this stuff would make us richer than Sultan Tex.

Baby Herman: I call dibs!

He ran excitedly to the treasure as Pooh spoke.

Pooh: Baby Herman!

He stopped near the treasure as he fell.

Pooh: Don't touch anything!

Roger: We have to find those lamps.

Baby Herman: (groans) Ah, fine!

They headed off, not knowing that something was secretly spying on them. That thing was a white pegasus with a blue mane and tail, and he followed closer to them as Baby Herman had a strange feeling. He turned as Pegasus quickly took off to hide, but the baby saw nothing.

Baby Herman: Huh.

He moved on, looking puzzled while the winged horse followed again. He sensed something then turned around as the horse hid again. Only that time, his tail was sticking out on a pile of treasure nearby.

Baby Herman: (runs to them) Hey, fellas, I think there's something nutty here!

Roger: Baby Herman, will you knock it off?! We don't have time for this!

He groaned as he continued walking with the group. Then, the horse came out of hiding and resumed the following. The baby turned around, but the horse was behind him. He chuckled lightly, nuzzling his head. The fox demon was startled as he did his kung fu moves.

Baby Herman: Come out and show yourself, ya big palookha!

He flew above Baby Herman, removing the bow from his strand of hair with his teeth.

Baby Herman: Gah! It's got my hair! It's trying to eat me!

His hair became undone as the baby and horse saw each other after Baby Herman jumped in alarm.

Baby Herman: Aha! A big dumb horse!

He ran quickly to them as he pointed, though ran around them very hard.

Tigger: Hey, kid, are you crazy!?

Baby Herman: Just turn around, ya mugs!

They looked and saw the white horse with wings, looking scared. He ducked behind a pile of treasure as Roger looked in amazement.

Roger: Look at that, an actual magical horse with wings.

Rabbit: I believe their species is called a pegasus.

Piglet: He looks so majestic.

Pooh: Come on, we're not going to hurt you. Some of Eeyore's best friends are pegasi.

The pegasus, still cautious, got out and moved to Baby Herman, sheepishly smiling offering him his bow, covered in drool. The baby looked disgusted as he angry snatched it, and wiped the horse salivah off of it.

Baby Herman: I'll be taking that bow, ya dumb mule! Try that again, and you are glue! (puts bow back on now straightened hair) Non-talking animals, disgusting!

Roger: Hey, cut it out, Herman. He's not going to bite.

Baby Herman: He already did...into my bow!

Tigger: Aw, come on, he was just playing, Baby Herman.

Piglet: And why do you have a bow anyway, when you're clearly a boy?

Baby Herman: It keeps my hair tidy. Also, my mom gave it to me, thought it made me look adorable.

He turned to the horse, giving an angry stare.

Baby Herman: You know, it ain't polite to take things that don't belong to ya, so why don't ya go pester someone else, ya weird...bird-horse thing!

Roger: Herman!

Pegasus just looked down, feeling hurt, and began to walk away sadly.

Roger: Hey, wait. Don't go.

The horse turned around a bit.

Roger: Please excuse my friend, he gets cranky when things of his are messed with by someone else. He's going through the "mine" phase.

Pooh: What's that?

Rabbit: It's the phase where children get too over-possesive of things.

Eeyore: Figures.

Tigger: Seriously, maybe you can help us?

The white horse was excited as he flew in the air and whinnied happily. He then gave the group a friendly hug, before tickling some with his blue tail.

Tigger: (chuckles) Well, looks like we're palsy-walsy with the winged horsey now.

Piglet: You see, we're looking for these three lamps-

Pegasus smiled in delight, as he flew off in another direction, gesturing the group to follow him with his wing.

Rabbit: He knows where it is!

Roger: Come on, fellas, those lamps ain't gonna retrieve themselves!

The group, excited, followed the pegasus. A while later, after going through a long cave, the group entered a giant underground cavern, then Pegasus pointed to a big pillar with stairs going up to the top, with one of his wingspans. The stairs and pillar seemed to be surrounded by water with stones used as stepping stones. A beam of light shined on top of the pillar. Roger saw the light and began to climb on the stones.

Roger: Stay right here, fellas. I'll be right back.

He continued heading up the stones as Baby Herman sighed.

Baby Herman: (frowns) Oh boy.

Pegasus, noticing a gold horseshoe on the ground, as he picked it up with his mouth.

Rabbit: You know, I'm guessing that Pegasus has been in here as long as the lamps have, so that gives him the right to touch the treasure. (to Pegasus) Is that correct, boy?

Pegasus heard the rabbit and turned, nodding, before dropping the horseshoe.

Baby Herman: (glares) Aw, applesauce! The dumb winged mule gets to touch a lousy, stinkin' horseshoe and we can't touch-

As he turned around, he saw something that made his eyes widen in amazement. What he saw was a shrine of a golden monkey holding out what must have been the biggest jewel that the baby had seen in his life.

Baby Herman: Whoa...mama!

As the baby walked slowly towards it, a reflection of the jewel could be seen in both of his eyes as he licked his own lips greedily. Unaware of the situation, Roger had reached the stairs and began to climb to the top quickly.

Roger: Almost there...

Pegasus and the stuffed animals turned around, then gasped and yelped when they saw Baby Herman heading toward the jewel. They quickly grabbed him, making him struggle for the jewel.

Baby Herman: Hey, let me loose, you palookahs!

The stuffed animals grunted and strained while trying to pull him back.

Tigger: (quietly) Geez, this kid is stronger than he looks! Does he lift weights every morning or something?!

Still anaware of what was going down below, Roger reached the top of the pillar. Once he was there, he saw three ancient lamps, brown, blue and green, picked them up, and looked in confusion.

Roger: (confused) These are the lamps? (chuckles/turns around) These are what we came all the way down here to-

He was interupted as he heard the grunts of his friends. Baby Herman broke free of Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore and Pegasus's grasp and ran toward the statue laughing menacingly.

Roger: (shouts) Baby Herman! Noooooo!

It was too late as the human baby grabbed the jewel and smiled.

Cave's Voice: (echoing throughout the cave) INFIDELS!!

Baby Herman then snapped out and looked shocked.

Baby Herman: Oh crap.

Pegasus put his front hooves on his head in annoyance, while the stuffed animals and Roger looked around in fear.

Cave's Voice: You have touched the forbidden treasure!

He sheepishly placed back the jewel, but just then the jewel and statue began to melt into lava, making Baby Herman scream in fright.

Baby Herman: Ahhh!!

Piglet: Way to go, Baby Herman!

Cave's Voice: Now you will never again see the light...of day!

Roger immediately placed the lamps in his bag and on "day", flames erupted from where he found them. The white rabbit frantically rushed down as it suddenly turned into a ramp, making him slide down very fast.

Roger: Whooooaaaaa!!

He soon went flying in the air, and next, the water turned to lava.

Roger: Aaahhhh!!

Before he could meet his melting end, Pegasus, with the stuffed animals riding him, grabbed Roger.

Tigger: Nice catch, Pegasus! Now, come on, hurry it up, no time for doddlin'!

Meanwhile, Baby Herman hopped from rock to rock, but he screamed as they began to explode into lava. When the rock he was standing on was about to explode, Pegasus zoomed down and Roger grabbed the baby in time as the rock exploded.

Baby Herman: Okay, horsey! I owe you one! Sorry for those comments earlier...

Piglet: Apologize later, Herman; for now, let's get out while we can!

Roger: See, Baby Herman? Your old pal Roger will never let you down!

They then saw the lava forming a giant wave heading their way.

Roger: Pegasus, let's move!

They began to fly back through the caves, dodging collapsing walls and falling debris. Piglet jumped onto Roger's head and covered his eyes.

Piglet: (frantically) This is it for us! We're gonna be melted alive!

Roger: (pulling Piglet off) Piglet! Piglet, this is no time to panic!

They then saw a wall ahead of them.

Roger: Scratch that, start panicking!

With that, Pegasus with his passengers screamed. Just as they were about to crash, Pegasus dove downward and headed to the treasure cave. The lava poured out after them, engulfing all the treasure in the room, with spouts of fire shooting from the ground.

Tigger: (panics) We're gonna die! We're all gonna die! I'm going to throw up, and then I'm gonna die! (sobbing) Oh mommy, tell it to stop!

They managed to dodge it, as they soon arrived back to the entrance.

Pooh: We made it!

Outside, the Cave of Wonders roared in anger and was about to close, as Vincent headed up to the cave's entrance. Pegasus and his passengers were about to get to the top when a boulder dropped on Pegasus's tail, pinning him down to the floor. Roger's group jumped and grabbed onto the rock wall, almost to the entrance. As they held on for dear life, they looked up and saw the disguised Vincent at the top within reach.

Roger: (struggles) Hey, help us out here!

Vincent: Hand over the lamps to me!

Eeyore: We can't hold on much longer!

Tigger: Give us your hand!

Vincent: Give me the lamps first and I'll get you out!

Roger, groaning, took out the lamps from his bag, then handed them to him, who quickly snatched it as he laughed madly.

Vincent: (laughing evilly) Yes! At last! (as lightning strikes) HA-HA-HA-HA! At long last, I have them!

The evil bear looked down and saw Baby Herman helping the others out of the cave, but just then, Vincent kicked the baby human out of the way.

Baby Herman: Ahhh!

Baby Herman luckily got the stuffed animals out and they skidded aside a bit. Then, the evil bear in disguise grabbed Roger and held him by the wrist.

Roger: Gah! (shocked) Hey, what the H are you doing?

Vincent: (smirks) Isn't it obvious, giving your reward.

Then, to everyone's shock and Roger's horror, the evil bear pulled out a dagger.

Vincent: (as his voice returned to normal) Your final reward!

Roger closed his eyes, praying quietly that he would be able to escape his fate. Just then, Baby Herman came out of nowhere and bit Vincent's arm.

Vincent: Ahhh!

Then, he dropped Roger, who with the other stuffed animals, fell back in the cave.

All: Ahhh!!

The black bear then grabbed Baby Herman and threw him in as they all fell what seemed to be their doom. Just then, Pegasus got free from his boulder prison as he caught them in time. However, Roger hit the wall too many times from falling before going unconscious.

Roger: (thinking) Princess Jessica...

Back up above, the cave roared for the last time before sinking back into the sand where it came from. Then all was calm once more while the evil bear laughed wickedly, removing the disguise along with RJ out.

RJ: Ahh!

Vincent: It's mine! All three of them are finally mine!

However when he dug into his coat pocket, he felt nothing.

Vincent: Wha-? (looks in there) Where are they?

He then realized that he dropped the lamps while fighting Baby Herman.

Vincent: No...

He then fell to his knees and shouted, in horror, into the sky, with his voice echoing across the land.

Vincent: NOOOOO!!!!

(End of Chapter 5)

Well, Vincent has lost the lamps, and Roger and his friends are trapped in the cave forever. In the next chapter, they meet the genies of each lamp, Kermit the Frog, Fozzie the Bear, and Gonzo the Great!

Unfortunately, it'll have to wait until I can get help coming up with lines for the three Muppets. Maybe if I could use another Aladdin fanmake which features three characters in the role of Genie, but which one is there? In the meantime, I'll have to continue Furpoleon, the Reluctant Vampire Cat, and some of my Christmas fics for Christmas in July.

What Tigger said during their escape is a reference to the Jim Carrey version of the Grinch.

Eeyore: Don't worry, son, your rabbit friend won't see her again.

He soon went to set the stuffed animals free.

Roger: The gloomy donkey's right, I'm a commoner, remember? A street rabbit, and there's a law.

Tigger: Oh yeah, she has to marry a prince.

His hair became undone as the baby and horse saw each other after Baby Herman jumped in alarm.

Baby Herman: Aha! A big dumb horse!

He ran quickly to them as he pointed, though ran around them very hard.

Tigger: Hey, kid, are you crazy!?

Baby Herman: Just turn around, ya mugs!

They looked and saw the white horse with wings, looking scared. He ducked behind a pile of treasure as Roger looked in amazement.

Roger: Look at that, an actual magical horse with wings.

Rabbit: I believe their species is called a pegasus.

Piglet: He looks so majestic.

Pooh: Come on, we're not going to hurt you. Some of Eeyore's best friends are pegasi.

The pegasus, still cautious, got out and moved to Baby Herman, sheepishly smiling offering him his bow, covered in drool. The baby looked disgusted as he angry snatched it, and wiped the horse salivah off of it.

Baby Herman: I'll be taking that bow, ya dumb mule! Try that again, and you are glue! (puts bow back on now straightened hair) Non-talking animals, disgusting!

Roger: Hey, cut it out, Herman. He's not going to bite.

Baby Herman: He already did...into my bow!

Tigger: Aw, come on, he was just playing, Baby Herman.

Piglet: And why do you have a bow anyway, when you're clearly a boy?

Baby Herman: It keeps my hair tidy. Also, my mom gave it to me, thought it made me look adorable.

He turned to the horse, giving an angry stare.

Baby Herman: You know, it ain't polite to take things that don't belong to ya, so why don't ya go pester someone else, ya weird...bird-horse thing!

Roger: Herman!

Pegasus just looked down, feeling hurt, and began to walk away sadly.

Roger: Hey, wait. Don't go.

The horse turned around a bit.

Roger: Please excuse my friend, he gets cranky when things of his are messed with by someone else. He's going through the "mine" phase.

Pooh: What's that?

Rabbit: It's the phase where children get too over-possesive of things.

Eeyore: Figures.

Tigger: Seriously, maybe you can help us?

The white horse was excited as he flew in the air and whinnied happily. He then gave the group a friendly hug, before tickling some with his blue tail.

Tigger: (chuckles) Well, looks like we're palsy-walsy with the winged horsey now.

Piglet: You see, we're looking for these three lamps-

Pegasus smiled in delight, as he flew off in another direction, gesturing the group to follow him with his wing.

Rabbit: He knows where it is!

Roger: Come on, fellas, those lamps ain't gonna retrieve themselves!

The group, excited, followed the pegasus. A while later, after going through a long cave, the group entered a giant underground cavern, then Pegasus pointed to a big pillar with stairs going up to the top, with one of his wingspans. The stairs and pillar seemed to be surrounded by water with stones used as stepping stones. A beam of light shined on top of the pillar. Roger saw the light and began to climb on the stones.

Roger: Stay right here, fellas. I'll be right back.

He continued heading up the stones as Baby Herman sighed.

Baby Herman: (frowns) Oh boy.

Pegasus, noticing a gold horseshoe on the ground, as he picked it up with his mouth.

Rabbit: You know, I'm guessing that Pegasus has been in here as long as the lamps have, so that gives him the right to touch the treasure. (to Pegasus) Is that correct, boy?

Pegasus heard the rabbit and turned, nodding, before dropping the horseshoe.

Baby Herman: (glares) Aw, applesauce! The dumb winged mule gets to touch a lousy, stinkin' horseshoe and we can't touch-

As he turned around, he saw something that made his eyes widen in amazement. What he saw was a shrine of a golden monkey holding out what must have been the biggest jewel that the baby had seen in his life.

Baby Herman: Whoa...mama!

As the baby walked slowly towards it, a reflection of the jewel could be seen in both of his eyes as he licked his own lips greedily. Unaware of the situation, Roger had reached the stairs and began to climb to the top quickly.

Roger: Almost there...

Pegasus and the stuffed animals turned around, then gasped and yelped when they saw Baby Herman heading toward the jewel. They quickly grabbed him, making him struggle for the jewel.

Baby Herman: Hey, let me loose, you palookahs!

The stuffed animals grunted and strained while trying to pull him back.

Tigger: (quietly) Geez, this kid is stronger than he looks! Does he lift weights every morning or something?!

Still anaware of what was going down below, Roger reached the top of the pillar. Once he was there, he saw three ancient lamps, brown, blue and green, picked them up, and looked in confusion.

Roger: (confused) These are the lamps? (chuckles/turns around) These are what we came all the way down here to-

He was interupted as he heard the grunts of his friends. Baby Herman broke free of Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore and Pegasus's grasp and ran toward the statue laughing menacingly.

Roger: (shouts) Baby Herman! Noooooo!

It was too late as the human baby grabbed the jewel and smiled.

Cave's Voice: (echoing throughout the cave) INFIDELS!!

Baby Herman then snapped out and looked shocked.

Baby Herman: Oh crap.

Pegasus put his front hooves on his head in annoyance, while the stuffed animals and Roger looked around in fear.

Cave's Voice: You have touched the forbidden treasure!

He sheepishly placed back the jewel, but just then the jewel and statue began to melt into lava, making Baby Herman scream in fright.

Baby Herman: Ahhh!!

Piglet: Way to go, Baby Herman!

Cave's Voice: Now you will never again see the light...of day!

Roger immediately placed the lamps in his bag and on "day", flames erupted from where he found them. The white rabbit frantically rushed down as it suddenly turned into a ramp, making him slide down very fast.

Roger: Whooooaaaaa!!

He soon went flying in the air, and next, the water turned to lava.

Roger: Aaahhhh!!

Before he could meet his melting end, Pegasus, with the stuffed animals riding him, grabbed Roger.

Tigger: Nice catch, Pegasus! Now, come on, hurry it up, no time for doddlin'!

Meanwhile, Baby Herman hopped from rock to rock, but he screamed as they began to explode into lava. When the rock he was standing on was about to explode, Pegasus zoomed down and Roger grabbed the baby in time as the rock exploded.

Baby Herman: Okay, horsey! I owe you one! Sorry for those comments earlier...

Piglet: Apologize later, Herman; for now, let's get out while we can!

Roger: See, Baby Herman? Your old pal Roger will never let you down!

They then saw the lava forming a giant wave heading their way.

Roger: Pegasus, let's move!

They began to fly back through the caves, dodging collapsing walls and falling debris. Piglet jumped onto Roger's head and covered his eyes.

Piglet: (frantically) This is it for us! We're gonna be melted alive!

Roger: (pulling Piglet off) Piglet! Piglet, this is no time to panic!

They then saw a wall ahead of them.

Roger: Scratch that, start panicking!

With that, Pegasus with his passengers screamed. Just as they were about to crash, Pegasus dove downward and headed to the treasure cave. The lava poured out after them, engulfing all the treasure in the room, with spouts of fire shooting from the ground.

Tigger: (panics) We're gonna die! We're all gonna die! I'm going to throw up, and then I'm gonna die! (sobbing) Oh mommy, tell it to stop!

They managed to dodge it, as they soon arrived back to the entrance.

Pooh: We made it!

Outside, the Cave of Wonders roared in anger and was about to close, as Vincent headed up to the cave's entrance. Pegasus and his passengers were about to get to the top when a boulder dropped on Pegasus's tail, pinning him down to the floor. Roger's group jumped and grabbed onto the rock wall, almost to the entrance. As they held on for dear life, they looked up and saw the disguised Vincent at the top within reach.

Roger: (struggles) Hey, help us out here!

Vincent: Hand over the lamps to me!

Eeyore: We can't hold on much longer!

Tigger: Give us your hand!

Vincent: Give me the lamps first and I'll get you out!

Roger, groaning, took out the lamps from his bag, then handed them to him, who quickly snatched it as he laughed madly.

Vincent: (laughing evilly) Yes! At last! (as lightning strikes) HA-HA-HA-HA! At long last, I have them!

The evil bear looked down and saw Baby Herman helping the others out of the cave, but just then, Vincent kicked the baby human out of the way.

Baby Herman: Ahhh!

Baby Herman luckily got the stuffed animals out and they skidded aside a bit. Then, the evil bear in disguise grabbed Roger and held him by the wrist.

Roger: Gah! (shocked) Hey, what the H are you doing?

Vincent: (smirks) Isn't it obvious, giving your reward.

Then, to everyone's shock and Roger's horror, the evil bear pulled out a dagger.

Vincent: (as his voice returned to normal) Your final reward!

Roger closed his eyes, praying quietly that he would be able to escape his fate. Just then, Baby Herman came out of nowhere and bit Vincent's arm.

Vincent: Ahhh!

Then, he dropped Roger, who with the other stuffed animals, fell back in the cave.

All: Ahhh!!

The black bear then grabbed Baby Herman and threw him in as they all fell what seemed to be their doom. Just then, Pegasus got free from his boulder prison as he caught them in time. However, Roger hit the wall too many times from falling before going unconscious.

Roger: (thinking) Princess Jessica...

Back up above, the cave roared for the last time before sinking back into the sand where it came from. Then all was calm once more while the evil bear laughed wickedly, removing the disguise along with RJ out.

RJ: Ahh!

Vincent: It's mine! All three of them are finally mine!

However when he dug into his coat pocket, he felt nothing.

Vincent: Wha-? (looks in there) Where are they?

He then realized that he dropped the lamps while fighting Baby Herman.

Vincent: No...

He then fell to his knees and shouted, in horror, into the sky, with his voice echoing across the land.

Vincent: NOOOOO!!!!

(End of Chapter 5)

Well, Vincent has lost the lamps, and Roger and his friends are trapped in the cave forever. In the next chapter, they meet the genies of each lamp, Kermit the Frog, Fozzie the Bear, and Gonzo the Great!

Unfortunately, it'll have to wait until I can get help coming up with lines for the three Muppets. Maybe if I could use another Aladdin fanmake which features three characters in the role of Genie, but which one is there? In the meantime, I'll have to continue Furpoleon, the Reluctant Vampire Cat, and some of my Christmas fics for Christmas in July.

What Tigger said during their escape is a reference to the Jim Carrey version of the Grinch.
