Mystic Falls High Goes Disney By: DamonKlausCutie
"Elena Gilbert wake up! Wake up! Wake up! WAKE UP!" Elena popped up in her bed, surprised and slightly annoyed. "What? What happened?" She notice that her best friend Caroline Forbes was sitting on her bed dressed in her pink polka dot pajamas with her long blonde hair in a messy ponytail. "What do you mean 'what happened?" Caroline exclaimed "Today is the first day of our senior trip to Disney World!" Elena's confused expression faded and was replaced by one of happiness. "That's right! How could I forget? We've had this trip planned since we were kids! It's gonna be awesome!" Elena said as she bounced on her a bed a little. "Well duh!" said Caroline as she jokingly rolled her eyes. Caroline and Elena hopped off of the bed and started to walk towards Elena closet. On the floor was Caroline and Elena's luggage all packed and ready for the trip. As Elena began to pick out clothes to wear, Caroline gave her the 411 on the morning lowdown. "Ok, so I wakeup texted Bonnie, Tyler, Matt, Ana, and Jennifer about twenty minutes ago and we'll all be meeting at school in thirty minutes to board the bus to the world of magic" Caroline said with a smile. At least someone will be having an awesome time, Elena thought to herself. Ever since Klaus came and ruined Elena's boyfriend, Stefan Salvatore, her life had been going from bad to worse. She only hoped that this epic senior trip will take her mind away from the torture.
Elena and Caroline arrived at Mystic Falls High School a half hour later and the parking lot was already packed with eager seniors ready to go to Disney World. It was only 5:30am so the sun had not risen yet and it was a little chilly. Elena wrapped her arms around herself to warm up as she and Caroline walked towards the groups of seniors. They immediately spotted their group of friends waiting by one of the charter buses. "Hey girls!" their friend Ana yelled as she waved to them. Elena noticed that Ana was wearing a pair of denim Hollister shorts paired with a Bon Jovi concert tshirt and her long dark hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Standing next to her was her best friend Jennifer who wore a floral mini dress with boots and her long brown hair was held back by a sparkly headband. "Hey besties!" Caroline said as she gave each girl a hug and continued. "Who's ready for Disney?" she said excitedly. "We are!" Ana and Jennifer cheered in unison. A couple of minutes later, Elena's other friends, Matt, Bonnie, and Tyler arrived. Tyler went straight to his girlfriend Caroline and gave her a quick kiss. Elena gave Bonnie a hello hug and Matt a quick kiss on the cheek. They had all been best friends since they were little kids and they all knew each others supernatural secrets. You see, Elena's friends may look like regular teenagers but most of them were not human at all. Caroline was a vampire, Bonnie was a witch, Tyler was a newly turned hybrid. And Stefan and his older brothers Damon were vampires as well. Pretty much the only human friends they had were Matt, Ana, and Jennifer. And hopefully they would all live to see the end of senior year.
"Welcome seniors!" Elena turned her head towards the loud voice and saw that it was their AP History teacher Alaric Saltzman standing in the front of the crowd. "We're gonna start loading onto the buses so listen for your names". He looked at the clipboard he had in his hand and started to call out names. Elena and her friends patiently waited to see which bus they would be on. "Okay, onto our last bus, Bus #4" said Alaric reading off the clipboard "we have Dana, Chad, Nancy, Ana, Jennifer, Elena, Caroline, Tyler, Bonnie and Matt along with our chaperones Damon Salvatore, Sheriff Liz Forbes, myself, and -".
"Which bus is mine, Mr. Saltzman?" said a cold dark voice behind Elena. Everyone, including Elena herself, turned around to see Stefan Salvatore standing side by side with the cause of all their horrible problems in Mystic Falls. Klaus. This can't be happening, Elena thought to herself. She felt her knees go weak as butterflies flew in her stomach. She looked to her friends to see their concerned expressions and looked over to Damon to see that he was furious. Stefan and Klaus, on the other hand, were both smiling evilly at the group of seniors. "You heard the young chap" Klaus sad in a cold menacing voice directed at Alaric "which bus is ours?" As Klaus spoke, Elena noticed that he was slowly inching towards Ana with his arm dangerously close to her chest. Elena knew that Klaus could rip Ana's heart out in seconds and she would not let that happen. She looked to Alaric and sent every nonverbal message should could to tell him to just play along. He clearly got the message because he then said "It seems we have some room on Bus #4. The two of you can ride with us". Alaric seemed a little uncertain but they all knew what the consequences would be if he didn't do what Klaus said.
Elena boarded the bus and chose a window seat in the third row. She still felt weak so she leaned her head on the window and closed her eyes to try to stop the spinning. She felt someone sit down in the seat next to her. She turned to see that it was Damon and let out a sigh of relief. Elena turned to look at him and said "How did this happen? Why can't anything just be normal? And more importantly, what are we gonna do?" Damon looked into her eyes for a second and then said "I don't know. I really don't. But I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe". Elena looked at him, still unsettled, but nodded her head at his reassurement. She turned her head to the side and saw Caroline and Tyler sitting in the row next to them. She looked to the row behind her and saw Ana and Jennifer sitting together on one side of the aisle and Bonnie and Matt on the other. It looked like everyone was trying to remain calm but Elena could still feel the tension in the air. She looked up to the front of the bus just in time to see Klaus and Stefan arrive. They sat in the row right in front of Elena and Damon. Stefan turned around to face Elena and said "So, ready to go to the Happiest Place On Earth?" with a sinister smile on his face. Elena couldn't stand to look at him so she closed her eyes and hoped that Stefan wouldn't bother her anymore. She felt a little less worried because Damon was next to her and she felt very safe beside him. Within minutes, she was lost in a deep sleep.
"Wake up sleepyhead" Elena heard someone whisper smoothly into her ear. She knew that voice more than anything in the world. She opened her eyes and nearly jumped when she saw Stefan sitting beside her. Elena's slightly tired face turned to one of pure fear and she instinctively cringed as far from him as possible. "What do you want from me, Stefan?" she said to him angrily, still trembling. Stefan looked at her and laughed. "What do you mean? It's our senior trip! I'm here to ride roller coasters and meet Mickey Mouse" he said with an evil snicker. "I don't want you here! Or your ripper pal Klaus! Get away from me!" Elena said, a little louder than she intended to considering there were so many other people on the bus with them. "Elena, let me tell you something. I am still under Klaus's control and I still do as he has. And he told me that if you try anything to ruin his plans, your little friends won't live to see graduation. You understand?" Elena cringed against her seat and nodded her head. She thought of poor human innocent Ana and Jennifer. She thought of sweet Caroline and Matt and Tyler and Bonnie. I will not jeopardize their lives, she thought to herself, not if I can help it. "Fine" Elena replied quietly and then turned her head to look out the window at the world swooshing by. She gave Stefan a quick glance and saw that he was grinning evilly.
Elena spent the rest of the six hour bus ride trying to act as normal as possible. She tried to lighten the mood by chatting with Ana and Jennifer who were seated behind her. The three of them talked excitedly about the all the different rides they would ride together. Jennifer was the only one in the group who had ever been to Disney World before so she spilled details about all the best attractions. "We have to ride Space Mountain! That is on my must-ride list!" Jennifer told Ana and Elena as she looked over a Magic Kingdom map. Damon returned to his seat next to Elena after an awkward hour of Stefan sitting next to her. "Why did you leave me?" Elena whispered angrily into Damon's ear. Damon brought his lips close to her ear and whispered "Because the lord Klaus told me that if I don't let Stefan have his time with you, Ana would be the first to die". Elena peered behind her at sweet Ana and understood that Damon didn't want anything to happen to her friends either. He was showing he had his humanity and those were the moments she loved the most with him.
About four hours later, Elena heard Caroline let out a sharp excited yell. "OMG!" she shouted loudly and pointed in front of her "we're here!". Elena looked out the window and saw that they were approaching a large purple arch that said "Welcome To Walt Disney World!: Where Dreams Come True" with Mickey and Minnie on either side greeting them with a smile. The bus was suddenly filled with excitement. Everyone was shouting excitedly and smiling brightly. Elena even saw Damon crack a smile. "Listen up seniors" Alaric said over the bus's microphone speakers "we will be arriving at the Magic Kingdom in about five minutes so prepare yourselves. I will now begin handing out each of your park tickets. Please do not lose them! " He began to make his way down the aisle, handing each student their ticket. When Alaric got to Klaus and Stefan's row, Elena was surprised when he pulled out two tickets with their names on them. Next, Alaric handed Damon and Elena their tickets. Elena cracked a smile when she saw that her ticket had a printed picture of Mickey Mouse on it. Damon held up his ticket to show Elena the picture of Goofy printed on his. She giggled and said "Sure suits you!". After Alaric had handed out everyone's tickets, he returned to his seat in the front row of the bus. A couple of minutes later, the bus pulled into a spot in the Transportation And Ticket Center parking lot and the students were given an all clear to get off the bus. Damon reached up to the overheard compartment and handed Elena her drawstring backpack along with his black leather jacket. He never leaves home without that thing, does he?, Elena thought to herself. They exited the bus together and found their group, which was being led by Jennifer. "May we tag along?" Elena heard Klaus's voice say behind her. "Sure!" she heard Ana respond quickly. Ana, by the way, had her eyes locked in Klaus's and Elena had this feeling this his compulsion wouldn't be necessary on Ana. This was going to be an interesting trip.
Jennifer led the group towards the monorail station. Apparently, we would have to ride a monorail to get to the Magic Kingdom. Elena and Damon stayed close together as they walked up a ramp that lead to the waiting monorail. Their whole group squeezed into a packed car on the train. Elena sat in a seat where she was squeezed in between Damon and Caroline. She looked across the car and saw that Stefan and Klaus were standing by the monorail car doors. And both of them were staring right at her, smirking evilly. She leaned her head against Damon's shoulder and tried to conjure up some happier feelings. She was in Disney World after all! Minutes later, the monorail stopped at an old-fashion style station. Everyone stepped off the monorail in a large crowd and walked down a ramp that led to the park's entrance. Elena and her friends each had their tickets scanned at the entrance and then went through a turnstile. A giant train station greeted them with a sign in front of it that read "Let The Memories Begin". With Jennifer in the lead, the group walked under the train station and entered Main Street USA. Elena couldn't help but let her eyes wander at all the beautiful old-fashion style buildings and shops that surrounded her. The park was filled with families, couples, and several Mystic Falls High School Seniors. "Whoa! That's a house fit for a princess!" she heard Caroline say as she pointed to something in front of her. Elena looked towards where Caroline was pointing and saw one of the most beautiful buildings she had ever seen: Cinderella's Castle. She admired it's spires and sparkling figure gleaming before her. "Pretty, isn't it?" Elena heard Damon whisper to her. "Yeah" she said breathlessly.
Elena and her friends walked up Main Street until they found a bridge with a huge futuristic sign that read Tomorrowland. "Let's ride Space Mountain first!" Ana shouted and everyone nodded in agreement. Elena pulled Damon more towards the middle of their group so that she could also be near Caroline and the rest of her best friends. Also, it gave her a bit more distance away from Stefan and Klaus who were looming behind the group. Every few seconds, Elena caught Ana looking back at Klaus with a sweet smile on her face and he would grin back at her charmingly. The group crossed the bridge and walked towards a large white cone-shape building with a blue and green sign that read Space Mountain. "The first of many awesome rides!" Caroline said as she walked through the entrance to the ride building. Everyone else followed behind her and Tyler, who was holding her hand. Once they entered the building, Elena and the rest of the group walked through narrow dark walkways that would lead them to the ride boarding area. Elena felt a little scared being in the darkness with Stefan and Klaus dangerously nearby but Damon was being her keeping a reassuring hand on her shoulder. It was still pretty early in the morning so luckily they did not have to wait very long in line. Within minutes, the group was at the front of the line waiting to board the rollercoaster. The person working the ride said they would have to split into groups of three so Elena chose to ride with Damon and Ana. Sitting right behind them were Jennifer, Klaus, and Stefan. After she boarded the vehicle, Elena pulled down her lap bar tight and held on. "Hold in tight. It's gonna be a bumpy ride." she heard Damon whisper into her ear which made Elena smile in the darkness. The ride consisted of many twists, turns, and drops. Elena was screaming joyfully the whole time and for just a couple of minutes, all of her problems didn't exist. Klaus and Stefan did not have to ruin this trip for her. She would have fun with her friends and that would be that.
After Space Mountain and a few other Tomorrowland rides, Caroline and Tyler broke off from the group to go do their own thing together. Tyler said something about showing her a few fantasies of his own in Fantasyland and Caroline agreed happily. Matt and Bonnie also went off to ride some rides just the two of them together. Elena sensed that Matt had a bit of a crush on Bonnie and she let them have their time alone. That left Elena with just Damon, Ana, Jennifer, and the two unwelcome guests Klaus and Stefan. Jennifer, still studying her Magic Kingdom map, informed them that the afternoon Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade was beginning soon and it was not be to missed. "We could eat lunch at Pecos Bills Tall Tale Inn which gives us a prime viewing location for the parade" she told the group, leading them towards the Frontierland restaurant. After they spotted a great table by the parade route, Damon and Jennifer went to get everyone's food while Stefan, Klaus, Ana, and Elena stayed at the table. Elena made sure that she was sitting right next to Ana because she did not trust Klaus around her. Every so often, Klaus would glance charmingly at Ana which caused her to blush and giggle. Elena was surprised that neither Klaus or Stefan tried to make a move on either girl. They were clearly trying to be on good behavior with so many people surrounding them but she knew that she still couldn't trust them not to hurt anyone. Thankfully, Damon and Jennifer returned soon with everyone's cheeseburgers and fries. They all ate in silence for about ten minutes before the parade started. Once it started, Elena, Ana, and Jennifer stood on their chairs so that they could see the colorful floats that passed by loaded with their favorite Disney characters. Damon stood right behind Elena with a gentle hand on her back in case she should fall. When Elena glance behind her for a moment, she could see that even Stefan and Klaus were watching the parade with an amused curiosity. Like most of the attractions and shows in the park so far, Elena felt like she forgot all her problems while she was watching the parade pass by in front of her. She couldn't help but wave to all of her favorite characters and clap along to the lively music. Prince Charming even blew her a kiss as he passed by on a Cinderella-themed float. Jennifer and Ana even let out excited screams when Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid waved to them. When the parade ended, everyone finished up their food and headed out to ride some more rides. Elena found that she was actually beginning to enjoy herself.
A few hours later, the sun was starting to go down and Elena and the rest of the group found themselves on Main Street USA once again. They had gone on almost every ride in the park with little wait times and Klaus and Stefan had actually tried to be on decent behavior. Now it was time to meet some characters and Jennifer had told them that they could meet Mickey, Minnie, and some of the Princesses at Town Square. Before they went inside to meet the characters, Damon suggested that Ana and Jennifer should take pictures in front of Cinderella's Castle and that maybe Klaus and Stefan could help them. Elena could sense that Damon was planning something so when Klaus and Stefan had walked away, she decided to confront him. "What are you planning, Damon?" Elena said to him softly. "Something to get rid of that evil hybrid and get my brother back. This." With that, Damon reached into his jacket which concealed a dagger. A dagger that Elena knew specifically would kill a hybrid. "Where did you get that?" she whispered harshly to him. "I know some people" Damon said with a smirk on his face.
In a flash, Klaus was in front of them holding Ana by the neck. Stefan was next to him with a firm hold on Jennifer. Damon tried to hide the dagger but he wasn't fast enough and it was soon in Klaus's hand. "What do you think you're doing?" Klaus sneered at Damon with Ana still in his grasp. Elena felt like she was going to pass out. "Your little boyfriend told you what would happen if you disobeyed me" Klaus said to Elena "and now you two will have to pay the consequences". In a flash, Klaus's fangs came out and he dug them into Ana's bare neck. She screamed and tried to fight him off but them she just went limp, he dead body left on the ground. Then, he grabbed Jennifer by the neck and sinisterly said "Say goodbye sweetheart". He then snapped her neck in a flash and passed her dead body to Stefan who viciously drank her blood. Seconds later, Jennifer's dead body was laying on the ground next to Ana's and Elena felt like she was going to be sick. Stefan snickered and said "I don't know about you but that's a Disney memory I'll never forget". Elena glared at him as hard as she could through her tears. Damon prepared to beat him to a pulp but Stefan and Klaus were gone in a flash before he could even move. And then Damon and Elena both just stood there in silence with Ana and Jennifer's dead bodies on the ground and happy Disney music playing in the background. There goes my normal senior trip, Elena thought to herself as she cried in Damon's arms.
