Chapter 2
Nikki glanced around in the room where the DHIs were made. Seeing the green screen behind her. She thought all of this was so cool. She couldn't wait to become a DHI and began her job as a Keeper. Though she was still nervous about it. And frighten of the Overtakers.
She took a seat at one of the chairs close to the desk, waiting for Wayne to return with another person that was also was going to be a Keeper with her. As she sat there, she played around with her long brunette hair, twirling it around with her fingers. Pondering on the thought of who this other Keeper was, and why Wayne picked him or her.
After a few minutes, Wayne stepped back into the room. Along with tall teen with blonde hair. "Ah, Nikki! I wanted you to meet your co-host and partner in crime." He laughed at his own little joke. "This is David Chase."
"Hello there. Pleasure to meet you, Nikki." David offered a hand to her. Nikki offered her own hand and both of them shook hands.
"Nice to meet you too, David." She offered him a smile. Looking into his eyes. He had deep blue eyes. She could stare into them forever. But she shook her head, not wanting to. She didn't know who this boy was. She had to get to know him first before trusting him. She then turned her attention to Wayne with a worried look.
"Wayne, are you sure about all of this? I mean….what's my mother going to think? When I'm gone at night just to go into Disney World to fight the Overtakers? She'll be furious if she found out that I'm doing all of this without saying anything to her."
Wayne put a hand up to stop her. "I will speak to her. Telling her that you are doing community service for Disney World during the day after school. And this will give you volunteer credit for your collage application. And at night, she will never know. Because you will be asleep on your bed when your DHIs are out here."
"Well, I guess that make sense." Nikki could only shrug her shoulders. She guessed that this might work.
"So, what about you?" She turned to David with a suspicious look. "Does your parents know you're here doing all of this?"
"Oh, yes! They did, actually." David nodded her head with a small smile. Though, she felt that he was hiding something. But she didn't want to push him into say something until later. For now, they had work to do.
Wayne started right away with filming them and capturing every movement for their holograms as part of the Disney Hosts Interactives. Only that they weren't part of the DHIs during the day. Wayne had given them daytime jobs for after school to go undercover as Disney Employees. This way, they can keep their eyes out for any Overtakers that would be out and about if they were spying on the Keepers.
After the process was done, Wayne offered to drive the two back to Downtown Disney. By then, the rain had stopped. And it was already dark outside. Nikki knew that her mother was going to question her to why she was out so late passed dinnertime. In fact, her mother was already waiting for her there. By the look of her mother's face, she didn't look too happy.
She had to explain to her mother what Wayne had told her. Though, she allowed Wayne to do the rest of the explaining to her since she didn't know what to say to her without making her angry.
Instead of her blowing up at Wayne, she smiled. She smiled. Like she was excited. This made Nikki surprised. She feared that this mood was just cover up. And her mother would be angry at her later.
"Oh, darling! Why didn't you tell me before?" Her mother wrapped her arms around her daughter. "That you're being active again. That you're finally doing something worth living. And best of all! It'll help you get to collage!" She hugged Nikki tightly. Nikki just stood there, speechless. Was this real? Or was this a dream? Either way, she escaped from getting into trouble…for now.
