Chapter 11

Adventureland

They walked up to Tarzan's Treehouse since it was the first thing that they came upon.

Woody stared up at the large tree they were about to climb, "They changed this too. It used to be the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House."

"That is the one where the family gets shipwrecked right?"

"Yeah, that's the one."

They climbed up multiple flights of stairs before coming to the top of the tree house. Woody began walking across the bridge to the other side of the tree when he realized that Jordan was no longer at his side. He looked back to see that she had paused to look over the park.

He came up behind her as she was leaning against the railing and put his arms around her waist. They just stood there for a moment before she finally spoke.

"Thank you for bringing me here. I haven't had this much fun in a LONG time."

"You're welcome. I am glad that I could do it."

She turned in his arms to look at him. When she did look up, she found that her lips were only inches from his. So many things began to run through her mind. What this the right time? Was this the right place? She wanted this moment to be absolutely perfect. All she had to do was close the gap. At the last moment she pulled away,

"Alright, let's keep going."

She grabbed his hand and pulled him across the bridge.

'Damn it. Why didn't I kiss her?' Woody thought as he followed Jordan. 'All I had to do is lean in and kiss her and I didn't and she pulled away. Why did she pull away? She hasn't pulled away when I have done anything else. Does she really not want to take our relationship to the next level?'

These were things that were rolling around in his brain, but he could not come up with a good answer for any of them. Finally, he decided to push the thoughts to the back of his mind and continue to enjoy being with her. They walked through the rest of the Treehouse, eventually coming down on the side.

From there, their Adventures to them to the Indian Jones Adventure. They wove their way through the line outside looking at all of the artifacts that were there in display. They had to stop at the entrance to the Temple to allow the Fast Pass riders go on in front of them, but once they were allowed in there the line went quickly.

They wound around until they finally stopped in a room with spikes coming out of the ceiling. Jordan laughed, "It's like the Temple of Doom!"

Next to them was a long bamboo pole that stretched from the floor to the ceiling, with a sign at the top warning them not to touch it. Woody gave her a mischievous smile, "Do we dare?"

"When do I ever do what I am told?"

They both grabbed the pole and pulled on it as hard as they could. There was a loud noise as the spikes began to lower from their position in the ceiling. They both watched as the spikes fell and then rose back to the starting position, ready for the next rebel to come along and pull on the pole.

"That is so cool!" Woody wanted to pull on the pole again, but the line moved forward. Next, they found themselves in a larger room with yet another warning sign stating, "DO NOT STEP ON THE DIAMOND SHAPED STONES!" Being the daring people that they were, they jumped from one diamond stone to the next.

Jordan laughed when they ran out of stones, "I wish they had something cool that would happen when you stepped on those!"

Woody agreed, "Yeah that would be fun. I bet there is something else around here to entertain people in line."

Sure enough, after winding around they found themselves next to a stone piece, that resembled a well, and had other stone pieces propped up above it. There was a rope that came out of the stone cylinder with, of course, another sign saying not to touch it. Woody and Jordan both looked at each other. He simply waved his hand and said, "After you."

She did not need to be told twice. She gave the rope a big tug and an echoing voice came from inside and told Jordan that she had interrupted his work. It was then followed by a loud crash, which could have only been breaking artifacts and a moan from the working archeologist.

Woody laughed and said, "Ha ha! You got in trouble!"

She just rolled her eyes and pushed him forward, "Whatever! Keep movin' Farm Boy."

The next room had a large screen where they watched a short film about the trucks that they would be riding in on their adventure.

Finally, after winding around for a few more minutes and climbing up and down a few flights of stairs, they came the front of the line.

They entered their truck and Jordan found herself behind the driver's seat. Woody fastened his seat belt before turning to her and begging, "Just don't get us into any trouble, or worse, killed." She smiled innocently, "Me?"

Their adventure began as they entered the Temple of Mara and were sent down the Chamber of Riches. They were scolded by Indy for looking into the Idol's eyes. As a consequence to their actions, they were sent into rooms with rats and bugs, forced to drive over a pit of lava on an old rickety bridge, almost eaten by a giant cobra, attacked by the Temples skeleton guards, as well as almost being run over by a huge boulder.

Jordan drove the truck back to the port and they climbed out. She turned to Woody as they walked back up the stairs to the exit, "See! I wasn't that bad!"

He laughed, "Yeah, you have gotten me into worse, and that was real!"

"Shut up!" she said as she shot him a nasty glare.

He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled to close to him, "But I do enjoy all of the adventures that we have together."

He lightly kissed her forehead to help show that he was serious about what he had said. He did enjoy everything that they did together. He would follow her anywhere. He just hoped that she would do the same.

Oddly enough, Jordan happened to be thinking the same thing as they continued walking. She loved spending time with him. She was finally ready to admit her feelings for him; she just didn't know when to do it. She was ready to embark on another adventure with him, the adventure that would take their relationship to the next level. This weekend would be the perfect place to do that, if she could only decide when. The top of Tarzan's Treehouse didn't feel like the right place.

They walked across the way to the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost. They had never seen so much Indiana Jones memorabilia in their lives. Jordan was looking at T-shirts when Woody came up to her,

"Jordan, check this out."

She turned to see him wearing a leather jacket, an Indiana Jones hat while holding a whip. 'He looks so gorgeous,' was all that she could think before she finally found her tongue.

"That's great! Let me see the camera!"

She got pictures of him in a few different poses. She had a hard time deciding which one she would frame.

Once Woody had put his toys away and they finished looking around, they went on the Jungle Cruise. They encountered alligators, hippos, rhinos, monkeys, elephants, and an African Witch Doctor that shrunk people's heads.

When they were done touring the rivers of Africa, they decided to give their feet a break and go to the Enchanted Tiki Room. They stretched out along a bench in the back of the room. Jordan snuggled up to Woody's side as they sang along with the tropical birds, flowers and Tiki gods.

As the show ended, they were shuffled out of the room with all of the other audience members as the birds sang, "Hi Ho." They held on tight to each other so they wouldn't get separated in the big crowd. Woody led her across the Main Street Plaza and told her, "Now we are going to take a little trip to the future."
