Disney World is a beautiful, unworldly place where dreams come true. Unworldly doesn't have to mean ugly and terrifying. Lampposts were posted along the sidewalk, palm trees swaying right next to them. Shops aligned the street and offered many souvenirs and expensive food. The scenery was completed by Cinderella's castle reaching for the clouds.

I stood in the middle of the street in awe as I watched the sun rise up from behind the castle. It was warm and sunny in Florida that day. Main Street was bustling in the Magic Kingdom. I looked at the sticky note some kid gave me to tell me where to go.

I had come to Disney World yesterday afternoon to become one of the DHIs in Disney World. Apparently on of the DHIs had disappeared or something. The Imagineers were working on my DHI to replace it. I walked on the side of the street were few people tread. The wind made the palm tree's older leaf fly off a branch and into my face.

I couldn't see. I trashed around but it wouldn't come off. I did a kind of dance trying to get the leaf off while yelling, "Get it off! Get it off!" Strangely the leaf flew off of my face. I watched the old leaf fly off into a window in the firehouse.

I stared as someone shut the window. Was there supposed to be anyone in there? I unfolded a map that was also included with the sticky note. The firehouse was marked with a big, red X, this was were I was told to go. I walked through the open doorway and up the stairs. Like I was told.

There was a door at the top floor of the firehouse. There were voices on the other side of the door. I couldn't quite hear them so I pressed my ear to the door.

"Why did the Imagineers have to go and make another DHI?" One of the boy voices said.

"They don't know about our secret, remember?" Another boy said.

"Neither will the new kid!" A girl voice shouted. "He or she won't know anything! We'll have to explain and that will give the Overtakers more time to make a plan!"

Did I hear them correctly? What are Overtakers?

"Shush, shush, shush…" A girl said quieting the others. "She's here…"

"How do you know it's a she?"

No one answered. I leaned on the door more trying to hear if they were whispering or not. I still couldn't hear anything. I leaned more completely flat with the door. I could hear footsteps getting closer and closer.

The door came open and I fell inside the cramped room. "Ah!" I screamed. I spit out a dust bunny that I had breathed in. All eyes were on me. I realized who a lot of the people were. They were the DHIs. Except, I couldn't recognize one of the teens.

"Um… Hi." I said. I was red faced now, How embarrassing.

"You're the new DHI?" A boy asked with a discouraged tone.

"Oh… Well, hello there. My name's Willa." Willa said as she extended her hand to help me up. I took it and was lifted up.

"My name's Rose." I said as I shook Willa's hand. "Are you all DHIs too?"

"Yep." Said the red headed teen sitting on a cushion at a small table. "I'm Philby."

"The computer freak." The tall dark teen leaning against the wall added. "Call me Maybeck. You don't need to know my real name."

"It's Terry." Said the cheerleader-like blonde girl. Maybeck's eyes narrowed at her. "I'm the one and only Charlene!"

The girl Rose didn't recognize stood up. She had brown hair and wore a Mickey Mouse T-shirt and jeans. "I'm Amanda. Do you know why we called you here?"

"A DHI is missing right?" I said unsure.

"Yes, but he was also our leader." Willa said. I looked at her. I was clueless.

"At night, DHIs cross over to Disney World when you go to sleep." Amanda explained. "You sort of teleport to a bench or at least that's what I've heard. It isn't a dream. It's real. What ever happens to you there is with you when you cross back to your bed."

"Okay," I said trying to figure out the logic. "I think I get it."-I remembered the conversation I had overheard earlier-"What are Overtakers?"

Philby sighed, irritated that they had to explain so much. "You know Disney characters, right?"-I nodded. He continued-"At night, when everyone is away, Disney characters and some props come to life. That includes the villains Walt Disney made."

"So?"

"So the villains, being the greedy characters as they were, wanted more than just freedom at night. They wanted the whole park to themselves, to drive out all of the good characters and make Disney World a dark park." Philby explained. "That is an Overtaker."

"So what do we do?"

"We try to stop them, Einstein." Maybeck insulted.

"What about the missing DHI?" Everyone looked at me with pained looks on their faces.

"Finn, our leader, died in his DHI State. The DHI went with him." Charlene silently whispered.

"We don't know that!" Amanda screamed. "He could be in SBS or the Overtakers might've captured him!"

"SBS?"

"Sleeping Beauty Syndrome. It is where you can't cross over once you are your DHI. You can't wake up." Philby said

"Finn disappeared Friday night…" Charlene said. "He never came back, neither did his DHI. Amanda assumed the Overtakers got Finn and his DHI while he was crossed over. Willa thinks that he-"

"DON'T SAY IT!" Amanda interrupted. She plugged her ears with her fingers. "I can't hear you. La, la, la, la, la."

"Real mature, Amanda." Willa said. She came over to whisper in my ear. "I think he's dead personally, DHI and all. Overtakers don't always play it safe you know."

"So why do you need me?" I asked. My last question if something else doesn't come up.

Maybeck groaned. Willa shushed him. "Well, you're a DHI now and we can't let you roam Disney World at night all alone now can we. We might as well make you part of the group before the Overtakers get you."

"Congratulations!" Charlene patted me on the back. "You're a Kingdom Keeper."
