Won't You Please *Come Get Your Baby*?? -Maybe... AKA The Adventures of Pinocchio and Annie

Once upon a time in New York City...A spunky orphan girl/foster kid and sweet hurt abandoned puppet-boy each go looking for Their Dream- *their family*, and eventually find it when they least expect it. It's definitely a *HARD-KNOCK life* at times, but tomorrow's always only a day away, and if you look hard enough, you CAN find the Wishing Star-!Ginny Weasley and Will Stacks both fled from their previous lives many years ago- Ginny when she was just a kid. (She HAD TO.) They're not really any more close than Annie Bennett and Pinocchio Orfano, believing that they'll always be lonely and alone ...but one fateful day, their tunes change pretty quickly once they meet aforementioned foster chlidren.Colleen Agatha Hannigan has *NEVER* really been fond of kids- especially (*ugh*) little girls. However, once a certain puppet-boy comes into the picture, little by little Ms. Grinch's small frozen hairy heart thaws and grows thanks to her newest foundling...

*WOO-WOO*...!!! All aboard the angst and drama Musical Train in which Geppetto is once again *NOT a good parent* i.e. steps right into Imelda Rivera's and Abuela Alma Madrigal's mostly-canonical shoes where poor 'Nocchi is concerned!! Also, like in the original Collodi serial-turned-novel, there is NO cricket-conscience/friend, and Pinocchio's basically on his own until Nuka, Ginny, Spring, and Figaro come along...I *HEART* Jiminy and HATE IT when he's bashed- so it's *Sebastian* who gets that 'honor' based off of a line from the 2022 stop-motion Guillermo del Toro movie that had me going '*Hmm*...'. Sorry, 'amico mio'! I still really like you as much as Gemini and Jiminy | Archie Hopper; I promise!Ginny usually sets my teeth on edge because she just gives off FANGIRL vibes if not *GOLD-DIGGER* ones where 'just Harry's' concerned and I *can't stand* Hinny because *Harry and Ginny ARE NOT James and Lily all over again just switched, thankyouverymuch*!! -However, grown-up!Ginny AKA Bonnie Wright sounds like a rather nice lady, so Gin-Gin's getting a redemption/runaway arc, here ...meaning *Dumbledore's Greater Good Plans go BELLY-UP* along with Molly's dreams of James and Lily 2.0; *tee-hee-hee*!For a change of pace, 'Nocchi and his fellow protagonist *will NOT* be close as siblings, cousins, or besties, it won't be instantly warm and fuzzy with his foster caretaker either, and he won't have an animal companion right off the bat. Annie Bennett will be a blend of her 'classic' stage-musical and 1982 self and 2014 self- meaning she'll still be pretty brown, but her eyes will be gray, she'll have bouncy curls of *red-ISH* hair, and there *will* be freckles on her as much as on 'Nocchi. Punjab will be there same as Nash | The Asp and Guy, and the Orphans will go by their canon names. Figaro *AND Spring* will show up in this story, with Spring being Figgy's mama (and a la 'Geppetto', he'll be a tabby too- just with his own main coloring being BROWN instead of ginger). -As usual, I myself own *NOTHING* save for the *story IDEA*! Disney, Collodi, Luske, Zemeckis, Schwartz, del Toro, Lim, 'Lies of P' creators, Meehan, Strouse, Charnin, Columbia Pictures, Houston, Gluck, Gray, etc. however, DO. Any song lyrics save for possible tweaks here and there included!So please sit back, relax, grab your favorite snack and drink while curled up in a soft blanket and cuddling your own beloved pet or stuffed animal, and enjoy the show, fellow crossover freaks, Disney/Non-Disney geeks, and musical nerds...!
