A/N: Hi everyone, I've been working on this chapter for some time now, and rewriting it until in barely resembled the original version but I'm happy with it now. This chapter is probably, a bit, okay very OOC but whatever, I like it. I also may have added a bit of Jisbon, so there's some there if you look for it. It was originally going to be longer but I decided to break it up into 2 chapters rather than one, because I figured I owed you guys an update. Sorry for the wait, but here it is!
The Mickey Mouse Penthouse was even more magnificent than any of them could have imagined. The traditional Mickey colors of red, yellow, white, and black could be seen all throughout the rooms. Mickey Mouse was everywhere from ceilings, to floors, to walls, and shelves. It was crazy.
Across the hall Lisbon and Jane were sharing a room. The pair wouldn't admit that they had agreed Jane would book one room for the two of them, they were so obviously together. Rigsby and Cho each had their own rooms next to Lisbon and Jane.
Today they were visiting Disneyland. After yesterday Alexis was exhausted, by the time they finally got back to the hotel Alexis was asleep in Grace's arms. But today Alexis was re-energized and more excited than ever. Today Alexis was determined to meet a princess, or mickey, or goofy, or woody. It was an incredibly long list. Grace and Logan managed to sleep-in to 7:30 until Alexis just became so antsy that she just had to come bouncing into Grace and Logan's room. She snuggled under the covers, all while talking a mile a minute. A couple of minutes later they all climbed out of bed. Grace quickly got ready. While Logan was getting changed Alexis and Grace went to Alexis' adorable little room.
"Do want to choose your own outfit for today?" Grace asked
"Yeah!" Alexis said excitedly "But, I'm going to surprise you, so you need to wait outside"
"Really?" Grace said and pretended to pout.
"mmhhm it's absolutely 100% necessary" Alexis said firmly, but a little grin crept across her face
"Oh alright, I'll be outside the door" Grace told Alexis. She walked outside the room and closed the door.
Alexis opened up her suitcase and considered her options. She spread all her clothes out and paced around them. Eventually she picked a red and silver headband, yellow and orange striped shirt, a blue tutu-like skirt, and purple sparkly Converse. She looked like a rainbow and it was absolutely adorable.
"Okay, I'm ready!" She called out to Grace. She opened the door then twirled around and struck a pose for Grace.
"What do ya think?" Alexis asked.
"You look gorgeous!" Grace said
"Thank you very much!" Alexis said placing her hands on her hips. Grace poked Alexis in the stomach. Alexis squealed and giggled. She lunged and Grace and tried to poke her, but Grace swooped her up!
"You're mine now!" Grace said, while repositioning Alexis before running around with her. Logan quickly came out and took the laughing Alexis from Grace. Logan laughed as he slung Alexis over his shoulder; he was holding her legs to his chest, her head and abdomen hanging onto his back. Alexis giggled as Grace chased after them.
"You'll never catch us" Logan said breathily as he laughed. Then he slipped through the open door into the hallway. At the same moment Logan pasted, Jane stepped out of his hotel room.
"Jane! Take Alexis!" Logan said, as he looked behind him and noticed Grace was catching up. Jane quickly swooped up Alexis from Logan. He rushed down the hallway but as he got about midway Alexis squirmed around and managed to free herself from Jane's grasp. She laughed as she ran
"Catch me if you can!" She teased.
"I'm going to get you back for that!" Jane joked. But Alexis was quick and was already so far ahead that she didn't hear him, or at least she pretended not to. She ran down the hallway until it broke off into 3 other halls. Alexis quickly decided to take a left. Her little feet padded against the soft red and blue Mickey Mouse carpet. She was sprinting and extremely concentrated on only stepping on blue Mickey's and not touching the red ones. She was so focused that she didn't notice that someone else was walking down the hallway. Alexis had just narrowly missed a red mickey when she collided with someone. Alexis had knocked into the woman with so much force that they both tumbled over and were lying on the ground. Alexis immediately began apologizing profusely.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you, that was my fault, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to run into you, are you okay?" Alexis gushed as she stood up. Then she saw the face of the woman she had run into.
"Teresa?" Alexis asked.
Lisbon looked up "Alexis?" she took in the red hair and blue tutu, yep, definitely Alexis she thought, with a smile.
"Hey Alexis, don't worry about it, really, I'm fine. But why were you running so fast?"
"Jane, Logan, and Grace are chasing me"
"Somehow he's always behind it" Lisbon rolled her eyes and laughed.
"Well I need to keep going; sorry I ran into you, bye!" Alexis stated quickly as she started taking off.
"Alexis wait!" Lisbon called. Alexis spun around, listening attentively.
"I think I have a better idea" Lisbon said.
And that's how Alexis and Lisbon ended up wrapped in toilet paper, crouching behind a cleaning cart.
"This is a brilliant idea!" Alexis whispered.
"Why thank you Alexis, but may I ask why we had to cover ourselves in toilet paper? I feel like a mummy." Lisbon said.
"That's the point! If they do find us they'll think we're mummies and leave us alone. It helps us blend in too. And it looked fun!" Alexis explained.
"Seems legitimate" Lisbon shrugged.
"So do you really think it will work?" Alexis inquired moments later.
"Positive. And even if it doesn't work we can always go to Plan B and run" Lisbon replied
"Or Plan C, and pretend we're mummies" Alexis stated
"Or Plan C, and pretend we're zombies" Lisbon agreed.
"Mummies not zombies, they're extremely different" Alexis corrected
"Got it, we're mummies not zombies" Lisbon said with a grin
"Perfect!" Alexis replied while returning the smile.
*Hallway on the right* (keep in mind Lisbon and Alexis are hiding in the left hallway)
"I can't believe we searched the 2 out of 3 hallways she didn't go down" Logan said.
"You don't think she got lost do you?" Grace asked.
"Nah, I'm sure she's fine" Jane said.
"So, I guess this means we need to check the left hall?" Asked Rigsby, who had joined the search along with Cho.
"I would assume so" Jane said.
They walked down the hall, everyone looked for signs that the little red-head had been there.
"Hey, ya know what's funny? We haven't seen Lisbon yet, she went for a run over an hour ago." Jane said, then it hit him.
"They're working together! Alexis and Lisbon must have run into each other."
As they continued down the hall they saw a cleaning cart that looked a bit suspicious but they passed it off as nothing- rookie mistake #1. Just as they were about 10 rooms beyond the cart, they heard a little sneeze- rookie mistake #2. They each dropped what they were doing and looked around. Alexis froze and looked at Lisbon wide-eyed.
"Run!" yelled Lisbon, as she grabbed Alexis and darted out from their hiding place and sprinted down the hall. All Jane saw was a flash of red hair and purple Converse. Various phrases of annoyance were muttered such as sarcastic "wows", "I can't believe they got us", "This just got personal", and the crazed war cry of "After them!"
As Lisbon and Alexis were running, Lisbon explained the next plan she had created; they were each to go into a different elevator and lure Jane and his group inside, once the group was inside Alexis and Lisbon would press a bunch of buttons then hop out just as the doors were closing. They put the plan into action and it worked perfectly.
Now that Lisbon and Alexis had bought themselves some time, they pulled off the toilet paper and discarded it into a nearby trashcan.
"So, now what?" Alexis asked.
"I was thinking, maybe we could go down to the park and get them to chase us there, how does that sound?"
"That sounds awesome!"
"Do you know where your pass is?"
"Yeah! Grace left them in a bag on the table in our room" At the thought of Grace, Alexis felt a pang of guilt for running away from her, even if it was just game. While they walked toward the hotel rooms Lisbon sent the group a text letting them know that her and Alexis would be at Disneyland.
An hour and a half later Lisbon and Alexis had just finished riding Splash Mountain. They had just received a text from Logan that read "Just got into the park. You two better watch your backs, we're going to find you!"
Suddenly Alexis got an idea, she quietly told it to Lisbon.
"Nice one!" said Lisbon.
Together they composed the reply text it went something like this: Hello, Jane, Logan, Grace, Cho, and Rigsby. We have a proposal; meet us at the restaurant closest to the entrance of Disneyland and we will make a deal.
Lisbon and Alexis had decided that it was close to lunch time and that they really wanted Grace on their team. So to get Grace on their team they would need to meet up someplace. It was common knowledge that Rigsby would eat anytime so they figured that he would be able to convince everyone to go get food even if no one else want to.
Within thirty minutes the group had gathered around a table with their meals.
Jane was the first to speak "We have a challenge; back at the hotel we decided we wanted to have a scavenger hunt in Disneyland! Boys against girls, that is, if you think you can handle it?"
"Easily, So what do you have planned?" Lisbon asked
"I e-mailed you a list each item is worth a different amount of points, the team with the most points wins. Losers have to buy the other team ice cream and the winners get to choose something that the losers have to do." Jane explained
Everyone nodded. Lisbon pulled up the scavenger hunt on her phone and read aloud
