Day two
The alarm clock went off startling Feliciana out of a dream at 9:00. Since they were going to the Animal Kingdom, which didn't have a lot of rides, they had decided to sleep in for once. The alarm buzzed again, demanding attention. With a groan Feliciana sat up, and turned off the alarm before stretching. When she remembered where she was, she grinned and popped out of the bed like a rocket. After a quick change into a white graphic t-shirt and red jean shorts, she braided her hair and walked out into the hall with her purse, with her flip flops smacking the floor. She was greeted by Germany who was already awake and dressed, and looked like he had been for a while now. He was wearing another Hawaiian shirt and tan kakis. Feliciana made a mental note to raid his closet, and burn all of his Hawaiian shirts….
"Are you ready to go Lud? " She grinned and started bouncing with excitement.
"Ja, let's go. "
They walked down the hall, and out the hotel waving to the many Cast Members as they went. They wished them a 'magical day" or something like that. They managed to catch a bus to the park just as it was about to leave. Unfortunately that meant jogging to catch it. 'Drat. I'll have to wash my hair again for sure.' The humid Floridian heat was already taking its toll. To get their minds off the insane heat they chatted about their plans for the day. In typical fashion Germany had everything planned, right down to what ride they should be on at exactly 5:00. Feliciana did her best to pay attention and cut in a few times to ask questions, or to protest at the short amount of time at the rest areas. 'There's no way I can fit in a siesta now…. Oh well.' The bus stopped at the front of the park where other people had to buy tickets. But thanks to some VIP tickets from America they were able to get through the line easily. They went through security, and were greeted with an animal themed front gate, proclaiming "THE ANIMAL KINGDOM". They started to walk through when a photographer asked them if they wanted their picture taken.
"Ja, thank you."
The man smiled and directed them in front of the gate and closer together.
"Ok now smile!" The man gave them thumbs up.
Feliciana grinned widely, and peeked at Germany who was just managing a slight grin. 'I know how to fix that.. .' Just as the picture was taken Feliciana hugged/tackled Germany from his side causing them to tumble to the ground.
"Oops… Sorry Lud."
Germany was blushing heavily by this point, so Feliciana stood up and helped him to his feet before going to look at their picture while he recovered. Feliciana almost died of laughter at the picture. The camera had caught their fall perfectly, with Germany looking startled and Feliciana grinning like a mad man.
"Oh this is great! We'll take it!"
After the camera man explained the whole "digital pictures" thing to her, Feliciana and Germany grabbed some food for breakfast. She was happily munching on her muffin as they walked to the Africa section of the park. The only interesting ride there was an "African safari" called Kilimanjaro safaris. Basically they went around in a special jeep and took pictures of animals. Although instead of being behind glass, the animals were free to roam around like in the wild, on a real African savanna. This meant that any animal could walk right in front of the jeep. And they did. They were stuck behind a lazy Rhino for ten minutes, but Feliciana wasn't complaining, after all the Rhino was one of her favorite animals.
"Wow this is so cool! Right Lud?" Feliciana turned away from the side of the jeep as they started rolling again, leaving the Rhino behind them, who looked happy that the weird humans were leaving him alone to eat his food in peace.
Germany nodded in agreement, looking slightly peeved. Whereas Feliciana had managed to get nearly perfect pictures of all the animals, Germany had only managed to get their backsides. After the ride they got off and he looked through his pictures sighing.
"Oh vell, at least you managed to get some good ones."
"Yup!" Feliciana looked around trying to find a sign, but there were tourists everywhere. She even thought that she saw an albino somewhere in the mix, with a man that looked suspiciously like America. But before she could comment on this they were out of sight. 'Hmmm. Ok that's weird.' Shrugging it off she turned towards Germany who was also having a hard time finding a sign through the sea of people.
"So where to next?" Germany consulted his map, and his itinerary.
"Next is the Lion King show, then lunch."
Feliciana grinned and they started to walk toward the show area. Thankfully due to Germanys OCD planning they managed to get there plenty early, and were seated in the very front row. They were informed that they were in the "Lion section". The whole arena was a flat floor, the center was the stage and bleachers were arranged around it. Each bleacher was assigned an animal. The show began with four actors coming out and leading the crowd in a series of animal noises to "bring the animals out". 'Well now we know why the bleachers are different animals… This should be good.' They were instructed to make animal noises. Feliciana snorted and nearly died of laughter at Germanys attempt at a lion's growl. But to be fair hers wasn't any better. The show finally started when a parade float looking thing was brought out onto the middle of the stage. The show itself was amazing with acrobats, high flyers, and singing. After the show and true to his word, Germany showed her the place where they were going to eat lunch. It was a little barbeque shop, called the flaming tree barbeque. Flaming tree or no flaming tree, the smells coming from the restaurant were mouthwatering and Feliciana eagerly dashed over to the line. After eating at the amazing barbeque place they headed to the Asia section of the park.
"So what ride are we doing here?" Feliciana glanced around, but all she saw were trees and monkeys…
Germany looked at the map, oblivious to the fact that Feliciana was now staring at monkeys
"It appears to be called "Kali river rapids". He put away his map and looked up to see that Feliciana was no longer listening; instead she was watching some monkeys fight over a banana. With a slight sigh at being outdone by monkeys, he tapped her on the shoulder and repeated his statement. Feliciana smiled and nodded, urging Germany on.
"America told me about this ride; it's a peaceful boat ride. It should be perfect for after lunch. "Germany smiled.
'Well it IS a boat ride…. Kind of…' Smirking Feliciana walked with Germany through the fast line, and onto an eight person raft looking thing. They were seated next to a family all wearing the same bright orange shirt proclaiming "Robertson's family reunion 2014". Feliciana studied the family one by one, until her eyes landed on a little boy who was staring at her. She promptly waved at him and called out in as nice a voice as she could manage, "Hello!"
The little boy blushed and started whispering to his mother. Feliciana shrugged it off, and the raft started to move with a splash, signaling the start of the ride. They started to go up a steep hill and when they reached the top, they started to float down a peaceful river. That is until Feliciana smelled smoke, but having been warned my America about this, only Germany was alarmed.
"Um. This ist normal, right?"
Feliciana looked over at Germany and decided to have mercy on him.
"Yes its normal, now hang on!"
"Vhat? Vhy do I need to hang on…"
Germany cut off when he saw the drop that they about to be tossed over. He let out a German curse as they fell over the side, whereas Feliciana just smirked and shouted with joy.
~after the ride~
Feliciana was soaked….. She couldn't have gotten any wetter even if she had tried… Her only comfort was that Germany was in the same situation, if not worse. He was also looking peeved and muttering about "that lying American". 'At least I knew it was a water ride…America just told me about the fire part, BUT STILL I CANT BEIELIVE THAT WE FELL OFF A FREAKING Waterfall!… ' Feliciana wasshaken out of these thoughts by a sighing German, who was attempting to slick back his soaking hair to no avail. He gave up on this and instead crossed his arms.
"Vell… that vas… fun."
Feliciana just had to giggle at his expression, he looked ticked, and yet he was attempting to smile. While on others it would have made the person looked weird, on Germany it just looked hilarious.
"Yes that was fun… huh? Feliciana looked down to see who had interrupted her by tugging on her hand. It was the little boy from the ride who was looking up at her with wide blue eyes, and hiding something behind his back. Feliciana crouched down so she could look him in the eyes.
"Yes?" Feliciana gave him her best welcoming smile. The poor boy looked extremely nervous, like he was about to perform for a crowd.
The little boy quickly handed her a small pink flower, and ran away, but not before whispering "You're very beautiful". Feliciana smiled, gripping her flower with one hand and waved with her other at his retreating form.
"Thank you ragazzo!" Feliciana continued to wave until he was back with his parents. Germany smiled and uncrossed his arms before talking to her.
"Vhat a nice boy." Feliciana smiled and smelled her flower.
"Yes. What a sweet boy." She tucked the flower into her braided hair and scooted over to Germany who had finally managed to slick back his hair.
"Come on I know where we go next!" She pointed to the giant "mountain" that was the focus of the park, and one of the best rides at Disney.
"TO EXPERIATION EVERST!"
Feliciana was the most excited about this ride, well at least for the Animal Kingdom. She gripped Germany's hand and started to drag him towards the ride. They fast walked past stalls and telephone posts with pictures of the Yeti, and writing. They also flew past families who looked slightly angry, so Feliciana walked faster, and gave hasty apologies. She would hate to have some angry tourists on her tail. When they got to the actual rid they easily flew through the line and were immediately seated in the very back of a cart that looked like a miniature train.
"Feli are you sure you vant to be in the back? This is vhere the most….. G forces are felt…" His voice took on a suspicious tone.
"You planned this didn't you?"
Feliciana grinned and got strapped in.
"Yup! What fun is a ride without feeling like your face is being sucked off by the wind?"
Germany sighed and got strapped in just as the ride started to chug off toward a giant hill. The ride itself started off slowly and gained speed as it climbed up the steep hill. Looking around Feliciana could see the castle that signified the Magic kingdom, and even the giant golf ball that marked Epcot. She turned her attention towards the front and realized that they were entering a cave that was marked with paintings of the Yeti. The attention to detail was truly amazing; there were even tattered prayer cloths. They finally reached the top, and started to gain speed as they entered the caves of the main mountain, at least until the tracks were ripped up by the "Yeti." As they slowed to a stop Feliciana noticed people putting up their hands, and they head the roar of a yeti rip through the air. Realizing that they were about to move again Feliciana joined everyone in putting up her hands.
"Hold up your hands Ludwig!" She grabbed his hand and held it up with hers.
"Vhat? Vhy?"
"AHHHHH!"
Germany didn't get to finish his thought due to his own manly scream, and Feliciana's squeal of delight as the ride started to blast backwards. They were pushed back into their seats by the force, as they raced backwards up a hill. When the ride started going forwards again they saw the bright flash of a camera before racing outside of the caves into a wide turn around the mountain. Feliciana noticed that Germany no longer had his hand up, and grabbed it putting it back up.
"COME ON LUD, WHAT FUN A RIDE WITHOUT PUTTING YOUR HANDS UP AND SCREAMING!?" Just to prove her point she started to squeal again while Germany winced. But he did leave his hands up.
The ride ended when they narrowly escaped the Yeti, and arrived back at the "station". They climbed out on semi –shaky legs, and went to look at their pictures. Feliciana looked like the definition of joy, whereas Germany looked like he had just been arrested. Germany looked at his picture and frowned while muttering under his breath.
"I can never take a good picture…"
Feliciana shrugged and they walked out of the ride, but not before passing through the gift shop where she purchased a plushy Yeti. They left the store with Feliciana squeezing the life out of the toy, and Germany studying the map. She continued to hug the toy as they walked to their next stop, Dino-land U.S.A. This area held carnival rides and games. Feliciana went on a spinning with Germany that looked like a giant time machine. She was going to go on it again, but one look at Germanys green face told her that she should probably not…
They ended up sitting on a bench for thirty minutes while Germany recovered. Apparently spinning and jolting around didn't bode well with the German.
"So Lud…. I guess this means that you won't be joining me on the spinning teacups?"
"Nein…. Sorry." Feliciana playfully pushed his shoulder.
"Don't worry about it! That means I can go as fast as I want! Are you ready to go?"
Germany nodded and they headed to the next ride with the extremely creative name of "Dinosaur". Tis ride was the main focus of this area of the park, and had something to do with time machines and dinosaurs. They walked through a museum looking waiting line, and watched an instructional video. The video itself was interesting, and made the ride look very promising. Feliciana could feel excitement building up in her as they walked down into what looked like a top-secret basement and entered a jeep cart. They got strapped into seats and Feliciana eagerly bounced as they started rolling with a jolt.
Feliciana assumed that the visuals of the ride were stunning. But she couldn't really tell you for sure, considering the fact that she was cowering behind Germanys shoulder for the entire ride with her eyes tightly shut. After the first low flying that seemed to almost fly into her hair, Feliciana had decided to make a tactical retreat into Germany's shoulder. The picture captured exactly that, but with Germany beside her looking completely unbothered. Smiling, Germany purchased the picture, while Feliciana crossed her arms and huffed slightly.
"Vhat? It's a great picture!"
Feliciana uncrossed her arms and allowed a rebellious smile to creep on her face.
"Yeah I guess it is a pretty good picture…. Come on I think I hear music!"
She walked out of the gift shop, past a group of children attacking each other with dino shaped puppets, and out into the sunlight with Germany right behind her. Sure enough as soon as they walked out of the ride they were greeted with a block party, with mascots wearing dinosaur costumes. A group of children were being led in a dace by some cast member, and even some parents were getting into it. 'Hmm. Looks like there's two types of parents, the ones that dance with their kids. 'Feliciana watched a goofy father attempting to moonwalk. 'And the ones that don't…' She watched a serious looking father refuse to dance with his young daughter, even though she was tugging on him. She watched the little girl for another second, and got a little upset. 'Why won't he dance with her? Oh well someone needs to fix this, and if he won't dance with her I will!"
With that she entered the dance circle and smiled down at the little girl as she started to dance with her. The little girl smiled up at her and starting dancing with even more energy. Feliciana smiled at her enthusiasm and glanced over at Germany who was standing outside the circle smiling. Rolling her eyes Feliciana went over to where he was standing and dragged him into the circle just as a new song started. Germany looked embarrassed and something else that she had never seen on his face before. Germany was scared.
"Feli….. I can't dance!" He whispered to her as other around them started dancing to the booming beat. Feliciana smiled at him with sympathy.
"Don't worry Lud! This is a group song so all you have to do is follow everyone else ok?' Germany nodded and watched as the other started to dance to the song which was Gangnam style. Even the little girl knew how to dance to this and she was getting down, much to the distaste of her father. Ignoring him Feliciana started to dance with the crowd and Germany, to his credit, at least attempted it. He was pretty bad at it, but there was no way Feliciana was going to tell him that. Germany actually looked like he was enjoying himself as the song ended.
They danced to a couple more songs, with Feliciana and the little girl teaching Germany the dances, who mostly epically failed at the majority of them. Except for some reason, the wobble. Germany was amazing at that dance and he completely stole the spotlight. When the song was over he got a round of applause from the onlookers, causing Germany to grin slightly. Considering the fact that this was the fifth song Feliciana was starting to get out of breath, and the father was giving her a death glare. Which she returned before turning towards Germany to talk to him.
"Well that was fun, right Lud?" Feliciana spoke in a tone of "let's get out of here before we get sued" and jerked her head towards the father.
Germany got the message and glanced over to the father, who he promptly scowled at.
"Ja lets go."
After a goodbye to the little girl, who was upset about her new friends leaving, they left the dance circle. The rest of the day was spent riding the few other rides at the park, and watching some more shows. But none of them could compare to the Lion king show earlier that day. They ate dinner and headed back to the hotel just as the sun was setting. Feliciana trudged along to catch the bus, her feet were sorer than they had ever been in her life. Heck even Germany was looking exhausted, and he was a health nut. They got on to the packed bus, forcing Feliciana to have to scoot over to Germany for some space. They sat in silence for a few minutes, mulling over the day's events. Feliciana decided to break the silence.
"Thank you for letting me choose our date Lud.."
Germany stiffened a little as if unsure of what to do, but then he put his arm around Feliciana's shoulder, blushing.
"Your velcome… This has been fun."
Feliciana smiled and rested her head on Germany's shoulder.
"You make it sound like the trip's already over! We still have several more days here!"
Germany smiled as his blush lessened. "Ja, ve do."
The rest of the trip was rode in silence, because they were both too tired to talk anymore. Walking around all day takes its toll on a person, especially if that person is wearing flip flops. 'Note to self, never wear flip flops here EVER again. My feet feel like they're about to fall off.' They were dropped off at the resort, and they trudged up to bed, but not before shopping a little at the hotel. When Feliciana made it back to her hotel room she fell asleep hugging that yeti toy, and thinking about the day. She smiled at the bus ride back…
