Oh wow…. Thank you for such nice reviews!! Haha, this is the first time I think people have actually complimented me! ^.^

Sorry I'm just thanking you now! But seriously, it means a lot!!

hahaha, another update so quickly... and its SUPER LONG... oh well.

Um.. .this time I'll ask….Rena from Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni!

Me: Good Morning, Rena-san!

Rena: Hajimashou ka na? ka na? [Should we start? Should we? That's how she speaks in the anime, so I'm trying to keep her in character.]

Me: Yes of course!

Rena: haato-san wa Fruits Basket to Higrashi ga arimasen. [hart-san doesn't have Fruits Basket or Higurashi… or rather, I don't own it.]

Me: Although I own Disney stuff… so Disney belongs to me!

Rena: *enter super scary mode* USO DA! [That's a lie!]

Me: Uh… yeah… I'm kidding….

Rena: Gomen-nasai… [I'm sorry]

[Higurashi's a pretty good anime. If you can stand alittle violence. Sorry, I wanted to bring in some random characters for the disclaimer…]


I am not lost.

I can find everyone, I just have to walk in the general direction that they did.

And so I walk towards the giant rock formation in the distance.

Any normal person would know their way around Disneyland.

Any normal person wouldn't be lost right now.

Any normal person wouldn't be forgotten by her own friends….

I guess I'm just not normal…I give up. I'll go wait at the Mickey Mouse statue. Sure it's only about 11:50 and I'll be there for an hour, but that's fine-

Wait…if I can't find my way to a giant pile of rocks, how am I supposed to find a statue of Mickey Mouse?

Okay, I admit it. I am lost.

I try calling everyone, but it must be "screen Machi's calls day" or something. Then again, I only have Kakeru's and the president's number.

I sit on a nearby bench and sigh. I'm lost until somebody notices I'm gone. I'm practically invisible so that could take forever.

Although, the view is nice. It's like a lake! There's an island in the middle, and a pirate ship floating. I move to a bench closer to the water. If I'm stuck for an hour, I might as well be somewhere nice. Although… the scene is starting to be too perfect for me…

There's absolutely no trash on that lake. The pirate ship is perfectly clean.

Now that I look around, the whole park is way too clean. What do I do? I couldn't possibly destroy a perfection this big, can I? I bury my face in my hands. If I don't see it, maybe that'll help?

"Machi? Are you crying?"

I jump at the sound of someone talking in my ear. I look up to see the president looking at me carefully.

"President!" I yell. "Please don't do that!"

He's standing there alone. "You weren't crying. Then what's wrong?"

"The park is…" I trail off. Good, someone littered. Although I refuse to look back at the lake.

"Is the park too clean for you, Machi?"

"Uh… yeah…"

He smiles. "Well, people are starting to eat now. There's going to be trash everywhere soon."

[Yes, they're talking about how good littering is. But that's only in their case! Don't litter!]

"Where's everyone else?" Since nobody else is here, you have to wonder where the rest of our group went.

"They went on ahead. Me and Momiji were wondering where you were, so I came back to look for you."

"I see. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"No worries." He looks around. "It's just the two of us now until 12:45. Everyone ditched us…"

"Okay."

"Where would you like to go?"

"I don't really know…" it's so embarrassing!

"You don't have any favorite rides?" The president is giving me that look again, when he's curious.

I mumble the next part.

"I didn't catch that?"

Dammit! Who the heck my age would say something like that? "Just don't laugh."

"All right, I promise."

"I've never been here." I say quietly. "I wouldn't know."

He starts to laugh quietly.

"I knew you would laugh!" I yell at him.

"Hey! You don't need to be embarrassed!" He yells back.

"Shut up! Who said I'm embarrassed?!"

"Your face is totally red!"

"I give up! I'm going home!" I start to walk away and he grabs my arm.

"It's okay, Machi." He's smiling at me. "If you've never been here, then I'll happily be your guide for an hour."

My face turns even redder, and I avoid looking at his face. "All right. I guess."

I hear him laugh again, but I decide not to yell at him. He starts walking, still holding my arm. I can't tell where we're going. This is kinda weird... walking alone with him. It's like a date!

As far I as I can see… we're going towards the rock formation.

"Yeah, I'm taking you to Big Thunder." The president says.

"Big Thunder?" I repeat.

"Yeah, a roller coaster. That's where we were going before you got lost. Then Kakeru changed his mind and wanted to go somewhere else."

"Right…"

There's a line there already, and once again I find myself running because the president still hasn't let go of my arm. With him holding me, I feel like we're a couple! My face turns alittle pink at the thought.

"It's like a 10 minute wait." He thinks. "We'll probably have time for one or two more rides after this before we have to meet up again."

I nod.

Commence yet another awkward silence.

"It's pretty slow today." He comments. "That's good. We can get on a lot of things."

What else can I do? I nod again.

"Are you okay, Machi?"

I can hear screams. Is this roller coaster fast? I really shouldn't pick things just because the president and Kakeru do! Because he was right, I'm completely afraid of scary things.

"The ride's not that bad." The president's trying to comfort me.

"I understand." I say, realizing I have to talk sometimes. "I've never ridden a rollercoaster."

"Indiana Jones is worse than this, I assure you."

"Nothing is worse than that ride…"

"If you were so scared of roller coasters, why'd you go with our group?" he asks suddenly.

I don't answer. What do I say? 'Because you were in this group.'? Nope. I have the right to remain silent, and I will use that right.

"Is it because-?"

"How many?" the guy at the front of the line asks us.

"Uh… 2." The president answers, but glances at me. I wonder what he thinks my reason is. He'll probably guess Kakeru.

We get loaded into the front of the rollercoaster and we have to wait for everyone else to load up. Then we take off slowly up what seems like the longest ride up I have ever been on.

"Machi?"

"What?"

"You're going pale." He laughs.

"Oh, sorry." Halfway up. I grip the small metal bar in front of me.

"You don't have to be scared. It's just a rollercoaster. And it isn't really that bad…"

"Okay." I don't wanna talk. Even if it isn't that bad, this is my first rollercoaster ride. I don't know what to expect.

He laughs again and I feel his hand on mine. "I didn't think you'd actually be scared, Machi."

"Shut up!" I yell. But then, we've reached the top. And the ride really starts.

We leave the ride to the president laughing his head off. Bastard.

"I didn't think you'd actually scream that loud, Machi!!" he can barely breathe out.

"Shut up!" my face is red as the people stare at us. "Kakeru told you that I fail at scary stuff!"

"No wonder why Momiji was laughing so much when we got out of Indiana Jones!" he still can't breathe.

A large group of people are looking at us and my face somehow turns even redder. "Go away!" I yell at all of them. "He's just an idiot!"

He finally starts to stop laughing. "Ah, Machi. That hurts!"

"Just stop laughing! It's already 12:15. Do we have time to ride anything else?"

"I guess we do." He grabs my arm again and starts walking off towards the giant castle. Why does he have to grab my arm? He can just say 'Walk this way' or whatever!

"How about something simple?" he's talking to himself. "Something in Fantasy Land or something…"

"Just pick one already." We stop right at a gate leading from the Wild West to what looks like a child's story book.

"You don't like rollercoasters or scary rides." He says.

"I'm scared of them, but I don't really mind them now that I've ridden them I guess."

"Then why did you choose our group?" Back to this question again? I knew that the ride attendant couldn't save me.

"Because…"

"Is it really that hard of a question, Machi?" he looks at me curiously.

"I wanted to try something new." I say. I won't give him the real answer.

"I see…" the president says. He sighs. "All right, let's go find something to-"

He looks like he's just had an epiphany. "I know where to go." He starts pulling me back all the way to the other side of the lake, in front of a scary house.

"The Haunted Mansion…" I read. "Why here?!"

"So that if anyone wants to go later, you can say you've already ridden it."

"And that helps me….how?"

"So I'll be the only to hear you scream." I can't tell if he's being nice or being a jerk.

"I guess…"

"Not only that, its relatively short. We'll be in and out in no time."

"All right. Let's go." You have to admit, his arguments make sense. We walk and stand in line, apparently we have to go INSIDE…so there we go….

We end up going inside this big room with a bunch of pictures of people. Then the room starts to stretch. And some guy's talking.

"President?? Why is the room moving?" I look at him. Him and everyone around us start to laugh. Is it really that funny?

"Of course…" the voice above us says. "There's always MY WAY." The room goes dark and the rest of the room 'screams'… I think I'm the only one to really scream…

We end up being pushed out into another hallway. "How is it dark outside? In the middle of a storm? Where did that room take us?!"

"Hell." He looks at me and smiles.

"That makes sense." The pictures freak me out… like some cat lady and a Medusa.

Then we finally make it to a 'doom buggy' and the ride starts. Okay, I overacted. It isn't that bad. It isn't anything like jump-out-at-you scary.

Out of nowhere, the lights go out when we're in the attic, as we get close to the scary bride lady. I jump and grab onto the president…then suddenly he isn't there. That doesn't make sense! I just hugged him!

"President?!" I say slowly. "Are you there?" I start to wave my arms to try and feel him, but I can't see or feel anything. I touch the seat he was just sitting in and feel some fabric… clothes maybe? What just happened?

Where did he go? I'm stuck in pitch dark alone.

The perfect…unstoppable dark… the only perfection that I can't possibly even attempt to stop.

I cover my face in my hands and scream.


Hahaha!! Ghetto fabulous ending!!

Right! Um… at the end of the last chapter…it wasn't really a hug. It was more like she grabbed Yuki's shoulders. I thought I would bring that up… since Yuki didn't transform last chapter, but he did this chapter…

What's gonna happen? I'm not really sure myself.

Please review!! ^.^
