Everything was black before turning white and green all at once and Charlie found himself running through a huge jungle, brushing past bushes and the overgrowth before he suddenly ended up going right off a high cliff and he screamed as he plummeted meters below further into this jungle and landing smack down on the ground onto his feet. For some reason, Charlie didn't feel like himself anymore. Somehow, he felt taller and stronger. He muscles felt bigger than they normally were. He looked all around this new are he was now standing in the middle of. It would seem that he was now in an African jungle of some kind. He reached a hand up to feel his hair, but realized that he now had none and was perfectly bald.

"Where's my hair?" He asked himself, but then gasped when he also noticed that his voice had changed. It sounded more mature and deep. But only that, but he now spoke in an American accent.

That wasn't all he that he discovered. Getting a look at himself, he gasped when he realized he was now in the body of a tall, tan-skinned man with the biggest, muscular physique he ever did see. He felt his muscles and they were huge and firm. Charlie never knew how strong he was before. But he was wearing new clothes as well.

"Guys?" He called out in his new voice. "Hello? Guys, are you there?"

Then he received his answer when another person fell from the sky and onto the ground in front of him. The person was shorter than Charlie now was; an African-American man wearing a hiking attire and a large backpack. The new character shot up from the ground to get a look at himself as well before looking shocked and appalled by his appearance.

"What the?" He said before gasping. "Oh, mein gott! What happened to my voice?! Why am I talking like this?! And what happened to my body and my clothes."

Right at that moment, yet another person fell from the sky and landed in the exact same spot they were in. This one was a young Caucasian woman with long red hair, a short mahogany red top and shorts.

"Oh, jeez!" She cried.

"Who are you?" demanded the African-American man to Charlie in confusion.

"Who are you?" Charlie asked him back before looking at the redhead. "And who is she?"

"Who are you guys?" She demanded in a similar expression. "Where am I?"

"Wait a minute." Charlie remembered that the man used a German sentence and where was only one person he knew who spoke German. He gasped and asked, "Augustus?"

"What? How do you know my name?" asked the short African-American person wearing the hat and backpack who is identified as Augustus Gloop.

"It's me, Augustus. It's Charlie." Charlie told him, earning a confused stare in return.

Before he could think of a good response, two more people fell from the sky and onto each other on the ground. One of them was a obese, bearded man wearing glasses and the other was a hunky-looking young man wearing a bomber jacket.

"Oh my god!" screamed the overweight character.

"Get off!" griped the younger man as he shoved the fat person off him. "Who are you people? Where am I? What's going on here?"

"Why am I suddenly wearing a backpack?" Augustus asked. "And how are you Charlie?"

"I'm not sure I know how or why, but I think we've all got sucked into the game." explained Charlie as he put the pieces together.

"What?" asked the redhead.

"How is that possible?" asked the younger man in the bomber jacket.

"Somehow we got sucked into the game and we've become the avatars that he all picked." Charlie explained. "I'm now Dr. Smolder Bravestone. Augustus, you're Moose Finbarr. It says so on your shirt."

Augustus looked at his shirt to find that said "FINBARR", proving Charlie's theory correct.

"Violet, you've become Ruby Roundhouse. Mike, you're now Seaplane McDonough and Veruca, you've turned into Prof. Shelly Oberon. But I think Shelly is short for "Sheldon"."

"What is that supposed to mean?" asked Veruca who now had an American masculine voice.

"So, wait. You're actually Charlie? A huge, strong dude with big muscles and no hair? That's really you?" asked Mike.

"Yes, it's really me." Charlie nodded.

"Wait a second." said Veruca as she went over to the river to see what she has become. And when she did, she did not like what she saw. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I am overweight, middle-aged man. How could this happen?"

"You must've misinterpreted the "curvy genius" bit." Mike theorized matter-of-factly.

"I'm now as fat as Augustus was."

"I resent that remark." He gripped at her.

"Sorry about that. It's just that I can't believe any of this!"

"Uh, why am I wearing a halter top and short shorts in the middle of the jungle?" Violet complained about her new look.

"Hey, what's this tattoo on my arm?" asked Mike as he found three black bars on his arm, everyone checked their arms to see that all shared the same bars.

"I have one, too." Charlie said and shifted his arm to see them disappear when he flipped his arm over and then they reappeared when he turned it over.

"What if we're all in a coma?" said Veruca.

"A coma?" asked Augustus.

"All of us? In a coma together?" Violet responded with disbelief.

"It has to be the only possible explanation." explained Veruca in a panicky tone. "That old game machine must've electrocuted all of us and now we're sudde-"

Veruca was interrupted mid-sentence when a giant hippopotamus climbed out of the river behind her and grabbed her into its mouth, swallowing her up whole while the others screamed in terror and watched as the scene unfolded before their eyes. When the hippo was done with its meal, it dove back into the water.

"Oh, god! Veruca!" Everyone shrieked.

"We gotta help her!" Augustus shouted to his friends.

"She's already been eaten!" cried Mike. "How are we supposed to get her out of there?!"

Then there came a loud, unnatural chime from up above and followed by the sound of a man screaming. Veruca fell a thousand meters from the sky and landed just a few feet from the group. Everyone rushed over to see if she was okay.

"Veruca, you okay?" They asked.

"I don't know if I feel okay in any way." Veruca replied with a blank face like she had been scarred for life. "I just got eaten by a rhino and then I feel from sky."

"Actually, that was a hippopotamus. They're omnivorous. They're fast as a horse over short distances and they have the bite force of 8100 newtons." explained Augustus smartly, making everyone give him looks at seeing how he was explaining the natural characteristics of a hippo before he, as well, noticed how smart he was talking. "How do I know that?"

"You're a zoologist." said Charlie.

"Am I still an old fat man?" asked Veruca.

"Yeah." The kids-turned-adults all exclaimed in unison.

That's when the hippo from before approached them and roared before charging them, making everyone run for their lives. Then another hippo joined the chase and everyone dashed away from the perusing creatures before a man in a vehicle drove up before them.

"Ah, Dr. Bravestone!" said the man in a jovial British accent. "Nigel Billingsley at your service! Welcome to Jumanji!"
