Apologies for how late this is, Like a dingbat, I didn't save this chapter and I had to re-write it...

Enjoy.


After staying till the end of the magical parade and after a few more happy tears, Peter, Carla, Simon, Santana, Juliana and Carmen decided it was time to hit the rides.

It was hard to know where to begin, so they just got on the first ride that was near by. Even though it was Valentines Weekend and even though it was also going to be half term this week, Disneyland wasn't actually too busy considering and they didn't have to wait too long for the rides, especially since they were able to get fast passes for a lot of them because of the hotel they were staying in.

They went on the smaller rides all together in groups such as the flying elephants and teacups, they also went on the Pirates Of Caribbean ride together but when it came to the ones that Carmen was too short and or young for, Peter, Carla and Juliana all took turns in waiting with her outside.

Carmen was not impressed to see that there were more than a few rides that she was too little for, so each time she had to wait with one of the adults they made sure she was highly distracted for the entire time.

Whilst everyone went on a ride called Space Mountain, Carla took her into a nearby arcade where they played some video games and tried to win some Disney toys.

When it was Peter's turn, he and Carmen had gone for another go on the teacups, which didn't really have much of a queue and afterwards they went to get an Ice Cream from a nearby stall, as the vendor handed a large ice cream cone to Carmen she said a very polite and very precocious,

"Merci."

"I didn't know you spoke French Carmen?" Peter chuckled, sitting down on a wall outside the Indiana Jones ride, which Simon, Santana, Juliana and Carla were currently queuing up for, a good twenty minutes had gone by so Peter assumed they must be near the front by now.

"Only a little bit of French... I know Hello, Goodbye, Thank you and some other things." Carmen said, licking her rather large whippy ice cream happily. "You know lots of French don't you Peter."

"Yeah quite a bit." Peter nodded, smiling at the little girl who was sat next to him. She was still wearing her Minnie Mouse ears whilst Peter was clutching onto, Carla and Santana's ears because they didn't want to lose them on the ride, which had a huge loop the loop half way through it.

"Peter do you know Nick?" Carmen asked, taking a break from her Ice cream and staring up at Peter.

"Yes, Yes I do." Peter nodded, wondering where the four year old he was sitting with was going with this question.

"He's my Mummy's boyfriend..." Carmen said, smiling at Peter widely. "Do you like Nick?" She then asked.

"Yeah…" Peter nodded, although he couldn't help but smirk because he was hardly Nick Tilsley's biggest fan. "Do you?" He asked, licking his own ice cream and smiling back at Carmen.

"Yes… I like Nick lots, he's funny." She nodded at Peter and went back to her Ice cream for a minute, Peter couldn't help but wonder how on earth Nick Tilsley could be even remotely funny and Carmen was half way through another lick when she slowly turned back to Peter and said,

"Daddy's coming home soon…" She looked half excited and half scared about her Dad coming home and for a minute, Peter had to think about where Carmen's Dad actually was, then he remembered that he was in prison.

"Is he?" Peter asked, Carmen nodded rapidly and said,

"Yep, Mummy said he's gonna be back in March… I think that is soon… it is isn't it?"

"Yes, It's next month actually." Peter said with a nod. "That's great news to hear he's coming home, I bet you've missed him so much."

"Yep… he's been working lots and lots…" Carmen said nodding, because from what she knew, her Dad had been away for work, not in prison for something Peter still wasn't sure about because even Santana didn't know. "I don't think my Daddy will like Nick very much." Carmen said quietly, looking up at Peter again but this time with concern.

"Why not?" Peter asked, not sure about to go about this situation as Carmen was only four and it seemed even she had clocked on to how awkward it might be when her Dad comes back to find her Mum with someone new, even though they had broken up years ago, It seemed that Nick was the first man Juliana had dated since.

"Because… Daddy and Mummy used to be married, like you and Carla are… Daddy will be sad to see Mummy has a new boyfriend." Carmen said.

"Well…" Peter said, clearing his throat a little. "I don't think he will be sad…" Carmen stared up at Peter in such an adorable way that made him move closer to her because he wanted to be as comforting as possible. "Trust me… I've been away for work before…" He said cleverly, "And I came back to find that things were a little bit different too but you know what, I was fine in the end… I was just happy to be home to see Simon and I'm sure you're Dad will be happy to see you all too." Carmen smiled at Peter sweetly and took another lick of her ice cream before changing the subject randomly, like most four year olds did.

"Have you and Carla got any babies?"

"No." Peter said, shaking his head and grinning, he knew which question was going to come next.

"Why?" Carmen said, in a true child like fashion.

"Because…" Peter said shrugging, taking a lick of some of the ice cream that had melted down his cone. "We will ave one soon though..."

"You ave to put it in her tummy..." Carmen said with a nod, as if it was really that easy, Peter grinned at her and then she asked, "Will you have a boy or a girl?"

"Erm… I don't know, you can't really choose, It's a surprise..." Peter explained.

"Why?" Carmen asked curiously with her head on one side.

"Because you can't." Peter chuckled. "That's just how it works."

"I think you and Carla can have a girl… Then Simon can have a sister, sisters are better then brothers." Carmen said, simply because she had sisters and no brothers so she assumed sisters were better. Peter nodded at Carmen with a sad smile because Carmen saying that she thought he and Carla should have a girl meant that Peter couldn't help but think about the daughter he and Carla had lost almost two years ago. Carmen watched Peter for a moment, she was only four but she was able to tell when someone was sad, she smiled at him and then said, "You can have a boy if you really want to... I think Simon would be kay with a brother too."

Peter laughed silently at Carmen and was just about to speak again when Santana, Simon, Juliana and Carmen appeared, they were walking out of the ride's exit and when Santana saw them, she jumped off the wall crying,

"Look I got an Ice Cream."

"I hope you said Thank you to Peter..." Juliana said, as Carla walked ahead, she reached the wall and sat down next to Peter, before he could stop her she had bent her head and took a great big lick of his ice cream cone.

"Oi…" Peter chuckled, "Help your self why don't ya?" Carla giggled and linked her arm with Peter's as he asked, "How was the ride?"

"Horrendous." Carla replied, as Simon bounded over to them and shook his head in disagreement.

"It was so good!" He cried, "Me n Carla sat next to each other… she screamed most of the way through it."

"Yeah as I said, horrendous." Carla added with a nod. Peter smiled at her and tenderly placed her Minnie Mouse ears back onto her head because he still loved how she looked in them. "Thank you baby."

"You're welcome…" Peter replied, raising his ice cream to Carla's lips and as she took another lick, Santana, Carmen and Juliana stopped at the bench.

"Right, what's next then?" Simon asked, looking down at his watch. "They ave rides in the other park… should we head over there now?"

"Yeah there is, that's where that lift one is that we have to go on." Santana nodded, she had heard about this ride from one of her friends at school who had visited the theme park at Christmas and had been desperate to get on it ever since.

"What is this ride you two keep on about?" Carla asked, standing up and pulling Peter up with her.

Santana just smiled and decided not to say any thing, she decided it was better for them to find out when they got there. So they started the walk to the Disney Studio Park and on the way, whilst Carla strolled ahead with Simon, in a deep in conversation with him, Santana smiled kindly at Peter and asked,

"So other than her conning you out of an Ice Cream, what did you and Carmen do whilst we got on the ride?"

"We went on the tea cups again…" Peter chuckled, "Then we had a chat… about... well about your… Dad."

"My Dad?" Santana said, surprised because Carmen wasn't the type of kid to randomly talk about her Dad to anyone, she mostly only mentioned their Dad to Santana or their Mum and it rather stunned Santana to hear that she had mentioned him to Peter.

"Yeah…" Peter nodded, smiling at Carmen who was walking hand in hand with her Mum.

"Well… what did she say?" Santana asked intrigued.

"Just that he was going to be coming home soon." Peter explained, "And that she wasn't sure he'd like Nick."

"Oh…" Santana said, shaking her head. "She's probably right there to be honest."

"Yeah…" Peter nodded, "Although that's not what I told her of course."

"Well what did you say?" Santana asked as they continued through the crowds towards the Disney Studio Park.

"I just told her that your Dad is going to be really happy to come home… that I'd worked away from home before and I know how it feels, I said he'd be fine."

"I… was going to ask you about that actually…" Santana said nervously, "I just didn't want to do it here y'know… cause we're having such a nice time."

"No… go on." Peter said, putting his hands into his pockets as the cold weather had begun to pick up again, especially as it was getting later in the day.

"Well I was just going to ask you how it was… y'know, leaving prison… I mean I know it must have been so difficult… but how on earth did you manage to get your life back on track?" Santana said, knowing exactly what Peter had been through because recently, Simon had told her pretty much everything.

"It was difficult, really difficult and it takes time getting used to the real world again it really does but trust me, having family support really does help... as long as you and your sisters are there for him, he'll be okay... I promise." Peter said warmly, Santana nodded slowly at Peter and then she bravely asked,

"What would you ave done Peter? If you had come out of prison to find that Carla had moved on?"

"Well… she had done… sort of." Peter said, "I mean she didn't have a boyfriend or anything but at the time, she really was done with me."

"Really?" Santana asked, thinking about how clear it was that Carla was besotted with Peter and vice versa. She had spent the day watching the pair of them and It was hard to imagine either one of them not wanting to be with the other.

"I know it sounds mad…" Peter said, knowing exactly what Santana was thinking, "But it's true. She wasn't ready to get back together with me back then… no matter how much I begged and believe me Santana, I begged."

"Wow…" Santana said, nodding slowly.

"I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason…" Peter said, as they were almost close to the exit of the Disneyland Park that they were currently in. "and I believe that me n Carla needed all that time apart to be where we are today… maybe that's the same for your Mum n Dad?"

"I dunno…" Santana said shaking her head. "I mean at first I wanted them both back together but now…" She was watching her Mum stroll forwards happily with Carmen in tow. "I don't think I've ever seen me Mum so happy… I think it's probably best they don't get back together… maybe they could just be mates?"

"Well… I'm not sure about that…" Peter said with a raised eyebrow, he of all people knew how just being "friends" didn't work, especially since he and Carla had tried that at one point.

"Well I just hope they can get along at least." Santana said with a smile. Peter nodded at her as Simon and Carla turned around to look at them both.

"What?" Peter grinned at them, because it looked like they were both amused but Simon and Carla very quickly turned back around and continued their own conversation.

"I'm having the best time." Simon said, still unable to believe this pipe dream of his had actually come true.

"Me too." Carla nodded, "I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. I mean I would never ave imagined coming to Disneyland but now I'm ere I don't wanna leave."

"I know right, It's going to be a killer going back to Weatherfield aint it." Simon said and for the first time this trip, he looked a little downtrodden.

"Yeah it will…" Carla nodded "but we'll have to book another holiday asap, maybe one for the summer, me, you n your Dad, how does that sound?"

"That sounds amazing!" Simon said excitedly, "Where should we go?"

"Oh I dunno, anywhere hot where I can get a tan will do." Carla said, "Maybe me n your Dad can finally take you to L.A."

"Yes!" Simon nodded, "Hey maybe we could go to a theme park there too?"

"Hmmm I dunno about that…" Carla laughed shaking her head.

"Why not?" Simon asked, "You've been getting on all the rides here."

"Yeah but that doesn't mean I've enjoyed em… I just like the adrenaline rush." Carla laughed, she turned to look at Santana and Peter who had caught up to Juliana and Carmen and as they all laughed about something, Simon looked proud and said,

"I'm mega glad you guys get along with Santana and her family so well…"

"Yeah me too… but how could we not eh, they're so lovely." Carla said, nodding and draping an arm around Simon lovingly.

"They really are… Santana is so special… I'm so lucky." Simon said almost dreamily.

"Awww Simon's in love…" Carla teased, pulling Simon even closer. She couldn't believe he was only twelve because he was acting as if he was deeply deeply in love with Santana.

"Stop it." He chuckled, shaking his head and blushing whilst Carla continued,

"Simon's in love, Simon's in love."

"Shhhh!" Simon cried, nudging her in the stomach and not wanting Santana to hear.

"Alright…" She laughed as she let him go. She took another look behind her to see that Peter was carrying Carmen on his shoulders whilst Santana was now talking to her Mum. Carla smiled at the sight of it and turned back to Simon who said,

"Me Dad is well good with Carmen."

"Isn't he just..." Carla said, shaking her head wistfully, Every time Peter and Carmen had interacted over this trip made her heart ache, she thought about the old her, the one before Peter and she knew that she would never have been bothered about kids back then but now she could barley watch Peter with any child, let alone one as cute as Carmen without actually wanting to melt.

"You're good with her too." Simon said smiling at Carla sincerely. "She really really likes you y'know... Santana says she always talks about you."

"Awww bless her." Carla said, "Thanks Si." She then said smiling fondly at Simon as they continued walking on towards the Disney Studios Park, when they were nearly there and when Carmen had finally wanted to get down, Peter had sped up and snaked an arm around Carla's middle. "Oh ello…" She said, smirking before also saying, "I'm surprised you avent done your back in, carrying Carmen for that long... at your age."

"Hey…" Peter groaned leaning to the side and kissing Carla on the cheek. "Don't be mean."

"Y'know I'm kidding…" Carla said, as they approached the entrance to the Disney Studios Park. "Or am I?" She teased, nudging Peter before they all got their tickets out to they could get in.

Once inside, Santana and Simon insisted they made their way over to the Tower of Terror instantly and once they were stood outside of the very tall building, which resembled a hotel, Juliana shook her head and said,

"Yeah I really really don't like the look of this one… I'll stay out ere with Carmen."

"No… I will." Carla said, also not liking the look of the building which had lights that flicked on and off, every so often you could also here the screams from people who were on whatever happened inside and as a few people exited the ride, they looked very flustered by what they had just experienced.

"No way." Simon said shaking his head, "You're so getting on this one Carla." Carla gazed up at the building nervously as Peter chuckled and said,

"I dunno… even I'm a little worried about this one."

"I don't like the sound of those screams…" Carla said, biting her lip as more screams could be heard from the building, Carmen didn't look as if she liked the sound of them either and edged towards her Mum who said,

"I haven't waited with Carmen yet, it's only fair…" Juliana said smugly, knowing this would mean she didn't have to get on he ride after all. "Go on you lot… ave fun."

"Come on!" Santana cried, her and Simon already on their way into the building to get in the queue. Carla rolled her eyes and followed although she was more being dragged towards the building by Peter.

Once inside, things didn't get much better, the queue of the ride took place in a hotel lobby and it was made to look as if it was all abandoned, the ride was obviously very popular because this was the longest queue they had been in since they had got there.

"I hate this kinda thing." Carla said, walking hand in hand with Peter as the queue had moved up. The further they got in the queue the darker it got and as they walked again Carla shuddered and said, "What is this place? I mean I thought Disneyland was meant to be all happy n magical… right now I feel like I'm in some sort of horror movie or summat."

"Awww don't worry…" Peter said nuzzling Carla softly on the neck with his nose, "I'm ere, I'll look after you."

"As if…" Carla grinned, the feeling of Peter's nose on her neck being a very very pleasant one. "I know you Barlow and you're just as scared as me." She nudged him in the side and as he dodged it, Santana stared ahead at their rather dank and depressing surroundings and said,

"It's dead creepy in ere."

"Yeah I love it." Simon grinned, he wasn't like his Dad and Step Mother, he loved stuff like this and as they got further into the building, he was in his element, every so often they would come across people dressed in a hotel uniform and it was obviously their job to freak out the guests who were bravely queuing up to get on the ride.

One of these people actually looked rather scary and tried to stare Santana and Simon down as they got closer to the start of the ride, they both just laughed and continued walking but Carla and Peter on the other hand, held tightly onto each other.

Then they had to watch a video about the "history" of the hotel they were in about how five people had gone missing one night in the lift, the lift that they were going to be getting into very shortly. The video was meant to obviously scare people even more and it worked because Carla cringed and said,

"Oh I so don't wanna get on this." Peter nodded and also looked worried, Simon rolled his eyes at them both and said,

"Oh come on you two, its not that bad…"

"I beg to differ…" Carla said, shaking her head as they stopped walking again, they were now almost at some doors, which looked like they might lead to a lift and it seemed as if that would actually be the ride. "I'm starting to feel rather claustrophobic in ere if I'm honest."

"Yeah me too." Peter nodded.

"Oh please, you're such babies…" Simon scoffed, he only started too look scared once they had entered the lift doors. "Wait…" He said, looking down at the seat he was supposed to sit on. "Are we only seat belted in... is that it?" He asked nervously as Santana sat straight down and clipped her seat belt on.

"Looks like it." She said excitedly.

"I'm guessing it can't be that bad, if we've only got seat belts on to keep us safe eh?" Peter said, trying to act positive, sure that the queue for the ride was just there to scare them silly and that the ride wouldn't be too bad.

"Hmmm…" Carla said, sitting down next to Peter and Simon because she had insisted she didn't want to be on the end. "I'm not so sure." She turned to Simon who looked rather worried now and he actually went as far as taking hold of Carla's hand. There were other people in the lift ride with them and as they sat down too, it seemed everyone was rather nervous about what was to come.

"Ere we go…" Santana said, when the doors to the lift closed and everything actually went pitch black.

"Uh oh." Carla cried into the darkness. "I don't like this at all." There were soon words in French, words that Carla couldn't understand. "What did he say?" She asked but Peter, who had understood the words just shook his head and said,

"You don't wanna know love." Suddenly the ride they were sat in started to rise upwards then, there was a video played right in front of them. Carla and Peter couldn't help but laugh nervously this time, especially when some supposedly scary music started playing but then, when everything went dark and when it was clear something was about to happen, their laughter soon died down especially when the ride once again went zooming upwards.

"Oh god…" Carla said as the ride continued to get higher, "It's going to drop us down to the bottom isn't it." but when the ride stopped another video started up and it was one that made it seem as if they were down looking down a long hallway.

There were flickering lights, a few strikes of lightening and then, down they went, just like Carla had guessed. Every single person sat on the ride, screamed out loud as they sped downwards, their stomachs dropped and they barley had time to register what was happening because suddenly they were going back up again.

"No!" Peter cried because he knew that what goes up must come down and as the ride kept going higher and higher, they all tried their hardest not to think about just how high they probably had gotten.

Unfortunately, the ride stopped in front of a window, a window that let them see over the entire Disney Park for miles and that let them see just how high they had become.

"Oh my god!" Santana cried not able to believe what she was seeing.

"Nah…" Carla said, her eyes snapping tight. They all knew what was coming and sure enough the lift they were in suddenly, shot down wards but only slightly because it then brought them back up again, as if it was teasing them all.

"I hate this!" Peter cried although he was laughing and so was Simon, who still had a very tight grip on Carla's hand, then the lift dropped once more, faster than the speed of light, so fast that they were all being lifted right out of their seats and it really did feel like they might fall right out of them. Just when they thought they must be near the bottom, the lift went up once again, right up to the top so that they were looking out at the Disney Park once more.

There was no time for anyone on the ride to prepare them self for anything because the lift made one more steep drop, faster than all the others and took them right down to the bottom of the building.

Once the lift had thankfully stopped, a video was playing and someone was talking over it but Carla, Peter, Simon and Santana were all in fits of uncontrollable shock and laugher so they pretty much missed it.

The seats they were sat in had stopped at a set of doors and when those doors opened, it was clear that the ride was over. Peter undid his seat belt faster than anyone else and was already up and out of his seat whilst everyone else did undid their seat belts.

"You okay?" Peter asked Carla as she walked towards him.

"No I'm flamin not." She said, shaking her head as Peter gave her a comforting hug. "That were awful."

"That was incredible!" Santana cried, smoothing down her hair, which had become rather wild whilst on the ride.

"Definitely." Simon agreed, as they walked through the exit and into the shop. Whilst in the shop they found that their entire experience on the ride had been videoed.

"Uh did they ave to?" Carla groaned, looking up at the screen, which played their ride experience in slow motion.

"That is pretty hilarious." Peter said grinning as it showed their appalled faces during the big drop, as much as she didn't want to, Carla couldn't help but laugh at the video as well.

"We ave to buy it." Simon said amused.

"No we don't." Carla said shaking her head but she knew that look Peter had on his face and of course, he had to buy a copy of their ride video.

"How was it?" Juliana asked, sat with Carmen on a wall that was nearby the hotel's exit. Carmen was playing a game on her Mum's phone and smiled when she saw them walking towards her.

"Amazing!" Santana and Simon cried in unison but Juliana could tell by Carla and Peter's face, that they didn't enjoy it as much.

"Horrible." Carla said with a very insistent nod. "I can honestly say that's the worst thing I've ever been on."

"Was it scary?" Carmen asked, looking up at the building and then back at Carla.

"Yes." Carla nodded but when Simon scoffed at her she said, "Eh don't look like that Simon Barlow, You had a pretty firm grip on my hand back then."

"It was so creepy Mum, oh we have to go back on it again tomorrow and you can come too." Santana said still grinning from ear to ear because she had thoroughly loved the ride they had just been on.

"Yeah we ave to go on it again." Simon nodded, looking in his Dad and Carla's direction. Peter still hand an arm around Carla who was stood, leaning against him. "What d'ya say Carla?" Simon smirked.

"Not flippin likely." She cried.


"So what's been your favourite part of the day so far?" Peter asked everyone.

It was six thirty pm and they were sat in one of the restaurants in the Disney Village. It was an diner and it really captured the essence of a true American restaurant. The waiters and waitresses were actually on skates and there was a jukebox playing some old tunes from the fifties.

They had all been sat in a booth one with two sofas on each side of the table. Carmen, Juliana and Santana sat on one side, Peter, Carla and Simon on the other and after they had all ordered their food, Peter was intrigued to find out just how much fun everyone had had throughout the day.

"The teacups… and seeing Elsa and Ana!" Carmen cried, she was making her way through a extra thick chocolate milkshake.

"Of course." Santana said with a nod, she was drinking a coke float, a drink that consisted of Cola and a rather large scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream.

"I'm going to see them again tomorrow." Carmen said with her eyes wide.

"Really?" Santana asked, looking at her little sister who nodded excitedly.

"Yes, Mummy said, there's a princess place, I'm going to wear my Frozen dress and get a picture with all the princesses, specially Elsa and Ana." Carmen explained before taking another sip of her milkshake, which she had to get up on her knees to reach because it was in such a large glass.

"We saw it earlier, when you lot were on one of the rides. You queue up at this special building and then you get to talk to each princess in her own little room and you can take a picture with them. Carmen's going to adore it." Juliana said, going into more detail than her four year old daughter had done.

"That sounds like fun." Peter said nodding, he had chosen to drink a coffee and was halfway through a sip when Simon said,

"My favourite part was the Tower of Terror ride."

"Yeah me too." Santana said reaching over the table and high fiving her boyfriend, She grinned as Carla grimaced and then said, "What was your favourite part of today?"

"Not that ride that's for sure." She smiled, she had ordered a milkshake too and was fiddling about with the straw as she tried to pick out her favourite part of the day. "D'ya know what, I can't actually pick, I think I've loved every minute of it… even that horrid hotel ride." Carla eventually said.

"Yeah me too." Juliana said, "Although I'm glad I didn't get on that ride, I'm petrified of heights as it is."

"Oh come on Mum, Please, it's not that bad, Carla and Peter are just overreacting." Santana said, Peter frowned at her in a jokey fashion whilst Carla poked her tongue out.

"Yeah." Simon nodded, "Me and Tan are deffo getting on it again tomorrow, you should come with us."

"You should actually, seeing as you're the only one other than Carmen who hasn't been on it." Carla said with a smirk. Santana seemed to agree with this idea and nudged her Mum in the side saying,

"Carla's right Mum, you have to, it's only fair…"

"Hmmm we'll see." Juliana said, although she was determined not to be getting on this ride that her daughter had seemed to love so much because by the way Carla had explained it, it sounded awful.

"What else is happening tomorrow then?" Carla asked.

"Well there are still a few rides we haven't been on yet." Simon said slurping up some more milkshake.

"We're going to watch a special show too aren't we!" Carmen cried, remembering the sign she had seen earlier for a special stage show which of course, featured various members of the Disney cast.

"Yes definitely." Simon nodded, he then looked at his Dad and asked, "What time are we getting the Eurostar back tomorrow?"

"Our train leaves at eight pm, so we have plenty of time." Peter said and as he said it, a waiter sped over to their table on skates, holding some steaming hot plates of food.

"Wow!" Carmen cried, looking at the burger and chips she had ordered. She licked her lips comically as the waiter placed the plate in front of her and as more food was placed on the table, Santana said,

"I meant what I said earlier… this really has been the best birthday ever." Her Mum, boyfriend and his parents, smiled at her gladly and after the waiter had left, Peter said,

"Right, let's get stuck in shall we?"


"Hurry up you lot, we need to get a good spot for these fireworks." Simon called, walking at a rather fast pace with Santana by his side. Carmen was trying her best to keep up, clutching onto a flashing wand, which she had just been bought upon their entrance back into the Disneyland Park.

"Calm down Si, the fire works aren't due to start for another forty five minutes." Peter said walking hand in hand with Carla. Simon and Santana insisted that they got as close to the big castle as possible and it seemed as if they weren't the only ones who had this idea as lots and lots of people were en Route to the castle, many of them children who were holding on flashing ones just like the ones Santana had in hand. and as they walked ahead Carla groaned and said,

"I can barley walk I'm so full up." They had all eaten rather a lot in the restaurant and they had even had very large puddings too. Peter grinned at her and gave her hand a tight squeeze as he said,

"Have you had a good time?"

"Of course I ave." She said, staring at him in shock. "As if you ave to ask baby." She pulled Peter towards her by his jacket and full on kissed him in the middle of main street USA which was currently the name of the place that they where were walking.

"Oh get a room will ya!" Simon called but when Peter and Carla pulled away from each other, they saw that he was smiling at them. He then waved at them to hurry up because he was determined to find the right spot for them all.

Eventually, after rather a bit of polite pushing and shoving, Simon and Santana were satisfied with the spot they had chosen, it wasn't far away from the gigantic castle but it also wasn't too close either, because they'd guessed you had to be far enough to be able to see everything properly.

It was pretty cold by this point, bitter in fact. Carmen had pulled off her Minnie Mouse ears and put on a black woolly hat with a matching set of gloves, whilst everyone else shoved their hands into the pockets and tried their best to keep warm. Eventually, after ten minutes or so Peter decided to run off and see if he could find somewhere that sold hot drinks and he made it back to where they were stood with ten minutes to go before the display was about to begin.

"Thank god!" Carla said, taking the coffee he had bought her off him. "I thought you were gonna miss the beginning."

"Same." Peter breathed, handing a drink to Juliana. Simon and Santana had said they didn't want any hot drinks and so had Carmen. She was stood mesmerised by her flashing wand and every so often she would say a magic spell and turn someone around her into something else. Carla looked down at her and then smiled.

"I ave such déjà vu right now..." She said, looking back up at Peter.

"Oh yeah?" He asked, as she leant against him.

"Yeah, of the last time we were at the fireworks back in November. It were such a perfect night... n Carmen had one of those flashing wands back then too." She said reminiscently.

"But this one is much better." Carmen said, waving it around back and forth excitedly.

"Yeah and a hell of a lot more expensive too." Juliana laughed. It was so cold that they drank their hot drinks very quickly and as Carla very quickly ran off to find a bin, Simon put his arm around Santana and said,

"Happy Birthday Tan."

"Thank you Simon." She gushed, kissing him whilst her Mum and Sister were busy chatting away to Peter. Carla returned just in time as a voice suddenly announced the start of the Disney Dreams show.

There was an eerie silence as everyone waited with bated breath for the show to begin and the atmosphere was so electric as every single person stood in front of the castle, prepared to be amazed.

"When's it gonna start?" Carmen impaitently asked but just as that sentence had left her lips, music started playing and the castle before them, came to life.

The top of the castle lit up and then you could see something flying, it was a projection made to look as if that something was flying around the castle, as soon enough Peter Pan appeared, Carla gave her Peter a little nudge as he put both arms around her from behind, and hugged her close for warmth.

"Wow!" Carmen cried, as more and more Disney characters appeared on the front of the castle, Santana watched her little sister lovingly and then turned to Simon to say,

"Look at her face please." Simon leant forwards and took a look at Carmen's enchanted face and smiled as Santana said, "I am so glad you n your Dad invited her and me Mum… I couldn't ave done this without em… Carmen's been so good since me Dad went… you know where… she really deserves this."

"So do you." Simon nodded, holding onto Santana's hand tightly, she smiled down at quickly before turning her gaze back to the display that was ahead of them, with each song came a different set of fire works and there was even jets of different coloured water too.

It was impossible for anyone not to get taken by the sight before them and whilst stood in Peter's arms, Carla felt him push something into her hands. She looked down and saw that he had placed a white box within her fingertips.

"What's this?" She asked as he stood behind her.

"It's your Valentines Day present." Peter said, smiling as Carla gazed down at the box that she was holding.

"But I thought we said..."

"I know what we said..." Peter nodded, "But still... I wanted to get you something special... to show you how happy I am to be your husband again." Peter said into her ear as the Disney Dreams show that was happening around them continued.

"Have you just been carrying it around with you all day?" Carla asked, turning slightly to look at Peter who still had his arms around her.

"Yes." He nodded sheepishly. Carla breathed out excitedly and opened the white box Peter had given her. Inside was a very delicate silver chain and on it, was a little sliver heart, it was such a simple necklace yet at the same time it was beautiful.

"Peter..." Carla gasped staring down at it in awe.

"Do ya like it?" he asked, watching Carla for her honest expression.

"Peter it's gorgeous." Carla said honestly, shaking her head down at it in awe before looking up at Peter. "You... are too good to be true, y'know that?" She said, closing the box and sliding it into her pocket because she had on a thick scarf and decided she'd get Peter to put it on her later.

"I love you... so much." Peter said as Carla put both arms on his shoulders and around his neck.

"I love you more." Carla insisted, kissing him softly on the lips whilst another set of fireworks went off behind them. "I'm so happy."

"Well... you know what they say..." Peter grinned, "This is the happiest place on earth." he said referring to Disneyland. Carla smiled at him but then she shook her head.

"The happiest place on earth is here alright... but it's not Disneyland... it's this... being in your arms."

"Awww how cheesy..." Peter grinned as Carla nodded and kissed him again, only this time in a much more passionate fashion.


As always thanks for reading & Reviewing (and also thumbs up to those who reviewed "You" that I posted Yesterday.

Oh also, I didn't mean to scare some of you with the last bit in my last update where I wrote that "it won't be perfect for long" I just meant that there is plenty of drama to come, some bad but mostly good. I saw a few people on twitter who had got a bit worried about it and I just wanted to say sorry.
