(Hiya, folks! Now pleeze, PLEEZE don't hurt me for taking too long on this chapter. I've been dealing with alot of...personal issues lately, and no one seems to
understand poor lil' me, no matter how many times I explain how I feel. ;_; No one cares about Ztarlight anymore!!! [sniff] Though, I am EXTREMELY grateful for
everyone here at FF.net...your friendship and nice reviews mean more to me than you'll ever know. ^-^ Okay, enough of this sappy stuff. This IS a humor fic,
after all...)



Escaflowne at Disney World
Chapter 5: EPcaflowne


"Wow, we're here!"

"Neat, huh?"

"I WANNA PLAY WITH THE GIANT GOLF BALL!!!!!!"

"Sit DOWN, Dilandau..."

Dilly slapped Folken on the arm. "You're no fun."

Folken snorted. "I can be fun when I want to be. I just don't want to be."

Dilly crossed his arms and glared at Folken. "Meanie-mo," he whispered.

"Brat," Folken whispered back.

"Dork."

"Pyro."

"Cyborg freak!"

"Nut-house escapee!!"

"I've never been to a nuthouse!!!"

"ALRIGHT!!" Millerna shouted. "That's enough out of you two. Quit acting so childish... it's embarrassing..."

"Aw, don't be a such a spoilsport, Millerna," Hitomi cut in. "We're on vacation. Let them have their fun, and relax a bit." (Besides), Hitomi thought to herself,
(Dilly's cute when he's acting childish!)

Millerna laughed curtly. "Ha! Sure, I'll relax. I'm heading to a world-famous theme park on a bus full of whackos. Whoopee, I'm having loads of fun. Tell me again
why I can't *bore* myself at the hot tub near the food court?" she asked sarcastically.

"Because we won this trip as a group, and we're going to take it that way. Now quit your whining!"

Millerna glowered in the corner. "You never complain when DIlly whines..." she mutttered.

Dilly popped up his head at the sound of his name. "That's because I do it better."

The bus came to a stop. "Alright folks, welcome to EPCOT. Please pick up your lazy carcasses and drag them to the door, where you may clomp down the
steps and fall flat on your faces. Have a nice day."

Our group entered the park and looked around. Merle gave Van a nugde in the shoulder. "C'mon, Van. You're the king; decide what we're going to do first."

"Uh... okay, sure." Van whirled around to face the others. "Alright, people, listen up. We must now decide what to go on f------"

"Golfballgolfballgolfballgolfballgolfball!!!!!!!" Dilly grabbed Hitomi, Van, and Folken and took off towards SpaceShip Earth. [A.K.A. the giant golf ball.]

Allen and Millerna just stood there, staring. Merle spun around and glared at them. "C'mon, you two lovebirds. We have to follow them!!" She scampered off.

Millerna smiled brightly and squeezed Allen's arm, cutting off his circulation. "D-ya hear that Allen? She called us lovebirds... is it really *that* obvious?"

Allen gave Merle the twitchy-eye. "That cat is going to pay for this..."



"OO! OO! OO! Line! Line! Line!"

Van squirmed to break free of Dilly's death grip. "Ugh! Damn, Folken, what did you feed him this morning?"

"Uh... he feeds himself, Van..."

"..........Folken?"

"What?"

"You're stupid."

"Why?"

"Cuz you don't monitor his sugar-stuffing habits!!"

"Who says it was sugar?" Hitomi cut in. "He's probably hyper from the coffee and donuts we bought this morning."

Van stared at Hitomi. "YOU fed him?!?!?!?!?"

Folken twitched. "I swear, if you weren't a girl..."

"And what's THAT supposed to mean?!"

Dilly skidded to a halt. "We're here!!" He dumped Hitomi, Van, and Folken on the ground. "Whoops... guess I'd better fix that." He grabbed Folken. "I pick YOU
up, cuz you're my friend that pays the bill when I destroy stuff." He grabbed Hitomi. "I pick YOU up, cuz you're my Fire Buddy and you feed me sugar when I have
none." Then he grabbed Van. "And I pick YOU up for absolutely no reason at all."

"Well," Van quipped, "Don't *I* feel special."

"You should."

Merle, Millerna, and Allen came rushing up just then. "What... happened to... you guys...?" Merla panted. "Hey... we have to pair up, don't we?"

"Oh, YAY!!!" Dilly scooped up Hitomi in his arms. "Bye, guys!!" He skipped inside merrily.

Millerna smiled sweetly. "Well, I know who *I'm* going to go with..."

"My invisible friend George?" Allen asked hopefully.

Milllerna laughed. "No, silly. YOU." She grabbed his wrist and dragged him off.

"No, no, NO!" Allen screamed. "You don't want me. George is much better. George is good. He can..." Allen pleas faded.

Folken and Van looked at each other, then at Merle. "Well, I can't pair up with *him*..." they said at the same time.

Merle placed one arm around each brother. "That's okay... I don't mind pairing up with *both* of you..."



Dilly placed Hitomi down carefully in the seat, then flopped down next to her. "There ya' go!"

"Uh, thanks... I guess."

SpaceShip Earth, on the outside, looks like a golf ball. On the inside, however, it looks like a slow, calm ride that takes the rider through a historical journey through
history to educate each viewer by tickling their senses. Well, that's because it is.

We begin with the medieval times, also known as the Dark Ages. The cart plows through the Renaissance, the Enlightenement, the present day, and possible
events for the future. The entire jouirney is narrated by a male voice that comes out of a speaker behind where you're sitting, which scared the hell out of Dilly when
it first came on.

"AHH!! Evil fire-hating spirits!! They've come to kill me for burning down their houses!!" He jumped into Hitomi's lap. "Help!!"

Hitomi felt her cheeks grow warm as she stared at the shivering form of Dilly perched on her lap. Gently, she reached out and stroked her back. "It's oka---"

He yelped at her touch. "IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!!!"

"Dilly, it's just---woah!!!"

Dilly had been panicking so much that he flew out of the car and took Hitomi with him! They crashed into on of the displays, causing it to knock down.

Hitomi sat up, feeling groggy. "Ugh... Dilly...? Dilandau, where did you go?"

"...Hitomi, can I get your assistance?"

Hitomi looked over. Dilandau had crashed into a support for one of the displays and was now partially trapped under it. Behind him the automatronic Michealangelo
was still active, calmy moving his arm up and down as he painted Dilly's butt.

Hitomi gilled. "Oh, you... here." She grabbed his outstretched hands and yanked hard, sending tham toppling backwards with him landing on her, noses nearly
touching.

Dilly smiled sheepishly. "Uh... maybe I'd better get up."

(Actually, I could stay down here all day!!) "Uh... sure..."

They managed to stand, but a new problem ensued them: their cart was now way ahead of them. "Great..." Hitomi minbled. "Now what are we supposed to do?"

"Let's get in with them!!"

"No, Dilly..."

Dilly grabbed Hitomi around her waist and hopped over the fallen display into the passing cart, which happened to be Allen's and Millerna's.

"Hi, you two! What brings you here?" Allen said enthusiastically, as if he were glad for the disruption.

Millerna, however, was not happy. "Why are you here? We were trying to make out."

"Well, to make a long story short, evil fire-hating spirits were after me, and they threw me and Hitomi out of the car. That's why that display over there is busted." He
looked around. "Now where's Folken? I have something else to charge to his Visa."

Hitomi grunted. "Uh, guys? I'm kinda squished here."

"Yeah, Millerna, move your big fat butt."

"Quiet, Dilly. I'm squished too."

"And you tell ME to lay off the sugar..."

"I am NOT fat!"

Allen snickered. "I object to that..."

"You be quiet before I make you!!" Millerna threatened.

"Oh really? Allen smirked. "How?"

"Like this." Millerna leaned over and glued her lips to Allen's.

Dilly ignored Allen's cries for help and watched in facination. "Oooo, interesting." He turned to Hitomi. "Why don't we try it?"

(Odd way to ask for a kiss, but why should I care?) "Okay..." Hitomi said slowly, leaning forward.

Suddenly, the voice from the narration turned back on, and Dillly screamed for help. "No!! NOOO-OOO-OOO!!! They're back!!! They'rebackthey'rebackthey're---"

Dilly was cut off by the sound of a and the cars stopped moving. Slowly, very slowly, he released his death-grip on Hitomi. "We stopped..."

Millerna looked up with interest. "We did? Goody..." she cast a seductive glance at Allen.

Allen passed out.

Hitomi sighed. "What do we do now?"

Up ahead, an annoyed female voice could be heard. "...It was probably that fat lady from Space Mountain..."

"But I took care of her."

"Merle?" Hitomi cried out.

Merle turned around. "Oh, hey Hitomi. HI Dilly. Hi, Mi--- what the hell happened to Allen?"

Millerna looked at Allen, then turned to Merle. "Oh, he got a little excited and passed out. He just needs a little mouth-to-mouth from yours truly."

Allen woke up in an instant. "NO!! NO!!! Anything but THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Millerna hushed him. "Don't worry, Allen. It was just a bad dream."

"I hope so... I dreamed that you kissed me."

"Whoops... my hand slipped..."

Hitomi rolled her eyes and leaned forward. "Is Van up there too?"

"Yeah, I'm here," called a voice, "And Folken is, too."

Dilly forgot that he was at the top of the ride and leaned out of the car. "OOOOOO!!! Hiya, Folkieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! WOah!!!" He hung over the edge.

"Gotcha!!" Hitomi grabbed him by his shirt collar.

"Ugh... Fyre buddy? I tink u're choking me..."

"Wha? Oops. Sorry."

The ride started up again suddenly, and the cars slowly swung around so that the riders were riding straight down, but backwards. [Think lying down.] As the gang
pulled into the station, the ride attandant scratched her head. "Funny... I wonder why that car was empty..."

Everyone got off... well, actually Millerna had to drag Allen off. "So..." Van asked, "What should we do next?"















Dilly glared at his stomach. "That's NOT how it goes..."



"That's better."

Van sweatdropped. "Eh... perhaps lunch is the best thing."





Millerna stared across the table in disgust. "Ugh... honestly, Allen. Must you eat like that?"

"Hey," Allen said with a mouthful of food, "I warned you that I was hungry."

"Still. it's embarrasing..."

"You didn't have to sit with me."

Millerna just slowly sipped her Coke in reply.

"And... just think... If we're married, I'd do this for you everyday!"

Millerna sighed dreamily and brushed a chewed-up wad of chicken that Allen spit at her off her plate. "Ah, it'll be worth it."

"Huh?!?!!?"

Hitomi sweatdropped. "Those two..."

Dilly nodded. "Yeah..." he turned to Hitomi. "SO! What d'ya say to you and me tonight, at the pool by the food court?"

"Uh..." Hitomi stammered. "It sounds... I want... you mean... I'd love to!"

"Great! Then it's a date!!"

"Date?!"

Dilly looked hurt. "You... don't want to go on a date with me?"

Hitomi gave in to his look. (He has the *ky-utest* puppy eyes...) Nonono! I mean, I really want to go on a date with you... I was a bit surprised... I guess..."

Dilly smiled. "I don't blame you. I bet it's not everyday you get asked out on a date by a handsome pyro-maniac such as myself..."

".........................................................right...."



"So what else should we do here?" Van asked of the group.

Hitomi raised her hand. "Y'know Van, I'm really tired after what happened at SpaceshipEarth. Can we just go back to the hotel room and spend the rest of the day
there?"

Folken stretched. "Actually, that sounds like a good idea. I'm game."

The rest of the group clamored in agreement. Millerna smiled sweetly at Allen. "Allen, I'm feeling weak. Be a doll and carry me?" She jumped into his arms.

Allen winced underneath her vise-like death grip. "Not like I have much of a choice..." he muttered.

The made it to their bus. Dilly nodded. "Okay, I'll leave..." he turned around to face the park. "But I''l be back. You'll see!! I'm not through with you yet!!!"





(Wia!!! That wuz wild, no? I bet you're all wondering what Dilly meant by that last line... well, so am I. In fact, I'm making most of this up as I go along. ^-^

Dilly: It means I haven't destroyed enough yet!!!

Me: [slaps Dilly] Quiet. We can't give anything away. Well, it sums up as meaning that DIlly and friends will be returning to EPCOT before they go home. Hey, I just
remembered what it stands for: Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow. E.P.C.O.T. EPCOT. ...not that any of you really cared. XD Well, I hope to be
back soon with chapter six: "A Date WIth Dilly." Actually, I have no idea what I'm going to call the next chapter. Suggestions are always apprecitated, ebven if
they're not used. Thanx, and G'night. - Ztarlight)
