Eventually, Lauren's grip on Joe's hand loosened and they decided to watch a movie together. So they settled for a personal favorite of Lauren's: Finding Nemo. It wasn't a very long movie, but it took up most of the two and a half hour plane ride. Lauren, who was delirious from sleep-deprivation laughed way too much at everything. Joe just smiled and watched her. He loved the way her face lit up when something funny happened. She looked at him and smiled once the movie was over."You know what?" she said, squinting her eyes and studying Joe's face, "I think if you were in Finding Nemo you would be Bruce the Shark." She laughed "Or any of the seagulls." Joe smiled.
"Wow, that's high praise. You would probably be Dory, or Squishy." They both laughed and talked for the rest of the flight, mostly about the movie, but also about Disney, and what they wanted to do there. Of course Lauren wanted to go on all the rides and meet all of the characters. Joe wanted to go on the rides and he wanted to find the most unhealthy food there. It became his mission for the trip to do so. Suddenly an announcement came on over the intercom and the fasten seat belts sign turned on. Lauren's grip tightened around Joe's hand. The pilot's voice came over the intercom, "Hello passengers, we are beginning our descent into sunny Orlando, Florida." The pilot kept speaking but Lauren wasn't listening. They were landing soon, that was all that mattered to her. Soon she would be off of this flying hunk of metal and back on solid ground. She looked at Joe and flashed him a nervous smile. He reassuringly smiled back and put his other hand on top of their already inter-twined hands. As they began to descend through the clouds it got turbulent, waking up Joey who was sitting next to them. Lauren's face got pale and Joe wished he was better at comforting people. "We're almost there Lo, it's almost over." She could only smile in return. As soon as the plane touched the ground, it was evident that a wave of relief had washed over Lauren, and it made Joe happy to see her back to normal again. When they got off the plane and regrouped, Lauren looked around and yelled, "TO THE BAGGAGE CLAIM!". Everyone followed her excited lead as they all went to get their bags.
Meredith tapped her foot impatiently as she waited for her bag. This always happened to her! Her bag was always one of the last ones out, and today was no exception. She looked over at her friends who were all sitting around and she shrugged to them. She looked back to the carousel, still no sign of her bag. Lauren got down from her suitcase that was twice the size of her and walked to Meredith. "Hey Mere, do you think that your bag didn't make it?" Meredith sighed,
"Don't worry Lo, it should be out any minute now." The girls waited for a few more minutes before Meredith spotted her red suitcase. As she brought it over to the group they all gave her an angry look. "Finally!" Yelled Matt from the back of the group.
"Sorry you guys, but I did warn you, my bag is always last!" They all just let it go and went to find their van.
Brian led the group to the rental car place. While he spent a few minutes talking with the person at the front desk, everyone discussed who would drive. Eventually, after much arguing, it was decided that Jamie would drive. Brian returned holding the keys to their car. They walked outside to see a white van. "Really Bri? A white van? At Disney? Do you want us to be mistaken for rapists?" Joey said.
"Guys it was all they had that would fit all of us, now come on!" Brian got shotgun and everyone else piled on. Brian pulled up directions on his phone. He turned around to see all of his friends looking fairly uncomfortable. Meredith, Matt and Nick were sitting in the back together, Julia, Lauren and Denise sat in the middle and Joe, Joey and Dylan sat in the seat in front of the girls. "Ok! Everyone get settled in for our 45 minute drive!" Brian smiled as all his friends groaned and pulled out their phones and books and stuff. About 30 minutes in, Lauren's phone became uninteresting to her and she decided to make it her personal duty to annoy everyone on the bus. When they finally arrived at the villa, let's just say that everyone was pissed at Lauren. "Mission complete!" She yelled as she jumped off of the bus. The Starkids all looked at their villa in awe. While everyone was distracted, Joe ran inside and claimed the largest bedroom for himself. Suddenly everything became a huge frenzy of who got what room. There was a master bedroom at the end of the hall upstairs, which Joe had claimed, there were also 3 other bedrooms. Joey and Brian ended up sharing with Joe. Dylan and the Langs took the room next door to the left. Lauren and Meredith took the room across from that and then Jamie, Julia and Denise got the last room that was across from a mysterious door. Downstairs there was a large kitchen with a long table with more than enough space for everyone. There was a living room with a big tv, multiple beanbags, a couch and two recliners. There was also a door near the kitchen that lead off into an office space. Outside was a pool, complete with a shed full of floaties fun pool stuff. As everyone was looking around outside, Dylan walked over to Jamie. "Hey Jamie, you don't have your phone with you do you?" She checked her pockets,
"nope, sorry. Why?"
"So that I can do this!" He grabbed her and grew her into the pool. Everyone followed Dylan's lead until everyone was in the pool except Walker and Lauren.
"Haha! Walker reigns supreme!" He yelled before Lauren snuck up behind him and shoved him in.
"I think you mean, Lopez reigns supreme!" She laughed innocently before cannonballing into the pool. They could all tell, this would be one great vacation.
