Harm, Mac, Chloe, and little AJ stood in line waiting to get on Dumbo. While waiting little AJ turned to Chloe and said, "Will you ride with me?" Chloe smiled, "Sure kiddo." Chloe took little AJ from Harm and walked up the steps and got into one of the Dumbo carts. Mac looked up at Harm, "Looks like your stuck with me." Harm looked her up and down and teased, "I guess you'll do." Mac punched him in the arm and Harm yelped, as they were led to the Dumbo in front of Chloe and AJ.
Harm got in first and settled himself in the seat. Mac followed him in but before she sat down she noticed there wasn't a whole lot of room left for her. Mac sat down her hips pressed against the side of Dumbo and the other against Harm's hip. Mac shifted slightly trying to get more comfortable but the only thing she managed to do was to shift more into Harm's lap. Her leg was now laid across one of his knees. Harm smirked, "Mac, I had no idea!" Mac punched him on the arm. "Owww!" "Look, sailor it's not my fault these things were made for kids and not grown sailors and marines." Harm laughed as she again tried to change her position to a more comfortable position but only landing more on his lap and less on the seat.
Trish and Harriet watched the Dumbo carrying Harm and Mac as it came around. They watched as Mac changed positions but looked more like she landed in Harm's lap. "What are they doing in there?" Trish asked tilting her head to the side. Harriet smirked, "I don't know," she said slowly.
Mac's legs were now entwined with Harm's, her hip settled on his thigh. One of his hands was on her back and the other was settled half on her hip and half on her thigh. He moved his hand slightly to take a more firm hold of her hip. Mac gave him a small sweet smile and in a sweet voice said, "Harm! I hope that's just a security caution!" "Men just naturally want to take care of women, Mac," he winked. "Harm, I'm a woman but I'm also a marine and I…" "You're a Marine and you can take care of yourself, I know. But that doesn't mean that I don't worry about you, or want to protect you."
They fell into silence again as the ride ended and they were getting off after telling Chloe and Little AJ to wait for them until they got off. Harm climbed out first and then Mac stepped out stepping on her shoelace as she stepped down. She tripped as she went to move her opposite foot and Harm having seen it quickly turned around and caught her before she hit the ground. Harm's arms were around her waist and her hands were pressed against his chest.
Harm brought her to a standing position; keeping their hand contact intact. "Are you okay?" Harm asked. "Yea, I'm okay," Mac, said slightly breathless. Harm smiled and together they walked down the steps, his arm wrapped protectively around her waist. The group saw the whole scene and exchanged knowing looks.
Bud was sitting on a bench looking at the map, as Harm, Mac, Chloe, and little AJ made their way over. "What's the verdict, Bud?" The Admiral asked sitting down next to Bud on the bench. "Well, sir we should make our way over to Ariel's Grotto and we can meet the characters from the Little Mermaid. There is also a restaurant right near there where we can have lunch." "Sounds good and Bud we're on vacation you can call me AJ." Bud smiled nervously, "Yes si…AJ."
The group continued on until the came to Ariel's Grotto. They entered the colorful cave surrounded by fun water fountains, colorful coral and starfish. The group walked through and then came to stand in a line waiting to meet the Little Mermaid. The group was finally up and they each got an autograph from Ariel and then gathered around her for a picture.
The group began to walk out of the grotto when Harm noticed that Sergei was lagging behind. Sergei was walking backward mesmerized by the red headed mermaid. Harm shook his head and stood with his arms crossed waiting for Sergei. Sergei stumbled over Harm's foot and Harm caught him by the arm giving him a look. Sergei blushed, "What?" He asked innocently. Harm rolled his eyes and turned his brother around, slapping him upside the head and led him out of the grotto.

The group arrived at The Pinocchio Village Haus, where they served a variety of things from Harm food to Mac food. They entered the air-conditioned restaurant and were led to a table. The waitress arrived a few minutes later with their drink orders and began asking what everyone wanted to eat. Mac sat near Harm staring out the window at the passers by. Her chin rested on her hand and she had a dreamy smile on her face. The waitress turned to Mac, "What can I get for you, Miss?" Mac looked up startled and quickly said, "I'll have a harmburger with all the trimmings."
Everyone looked slightly surprised at what Mac asked for and Mac felt her cheeks burn red with embarrassment. Harm burst out laughing. Clutching his side he managed to say, "Yea and I'll have Mac n' Cheese!"
Mac's face burned even redder and she dropped her head into her hand. Her shoulders started to shake in silent laughter and then a giggle escaped her lips. Soon the whole group was laughing and Mac wasn't as embarrassed although her cheeks were still flushed.
After lunch the group made their way to Splash Mountain. Trish and Frank found a bench in the shade and told Bud and Harriet to go on the ride and they would watch little AJ. The rest of the group stood in line for 20 minutes waiting to get onto the ride. "Hey Mac are you going to be okay on this ride?" Harm asked a little concerned. Mac turned around, "Why wouldn't I be?" "Well, you couldn't handle a tomcat before lunch, how do you think you'll handle a roller coaster after lunch." Mac smirked, "Harm, I'm a Marine. I can handle it." "Yea, you said that last time too," Harm muttered.
The group finally made it and Harm, Mac, Harriet, Bud, Sturgis, and Bobbi got into the first log. Sturgis and Bobbi were in the front, Harm and Mac in the middle, and Harriet and Bud in the back. The Admiral, Meredith, Chloe, and Sergei were seated in the next log.
The ride began and the logs went through long tunnels filled with small singing woodland animals. Soon the log carrying Harm and Mac, looked to be heading straight for a bundle of vines right before the log dropped off the edge. The log plunged into the water, creating quite a splash. The group was soaked from head to toe with water. Everyone was spluttering and blinking the water out of their eyes as their log went down a small tunnel with a bunch of robots singing Zipite Doo Daa.
The group met up with the other four and together they walked down to Trish and Frank, soaked but happy. Harm had been walking next to Sergei, and Mac and Chloe were walking in front of them. Harm who had been wringing the hem of his shirt out happened to notice from the position his head was at that Mac's white shorts were now not only soaked but see-thru. He gulped slightly and tried to turn his head away but couldn't.
Sergei stepped up next to Harm, "What's so interesting down their big brother?" Sergei asked dropping his head. He saw what had caught Harm's attention and cocked his head to the side, Harm noticed and immediately clamped his hand over his brother's eyes and steered them around Mac. The group stopped to dry off a little and Trish bought a sweatshirt in a gift shop for Mac to wrap around her waist.
The group still pretty wet but drying fast in the hot Florida sun backtracked to "it's a small world." The line moved pretty quick and they were all soon seated in a boat. The boat slowly began to move through the different rooms filled with little puppets from different nations singing, "It's a small world."
The boats slowly continued to move through the rooms. Suddenly the boat lurched to a stop. Everyone in the boat looked around at the other boats. All the boats were stopped. Harm turned to Mac, "Must be a back-up." Mac gave Harm a sidelong glance and gave a soft groan that only he could hear. He chuckled.
Ten minutes later the group was still sitting in the same room. All the adults thought that they were well passed their insanity point but kept on a good face and tried to remain in good spirits. Little AJ was happily singing along with the song on Harm's lap. Mac turned to Harm, "Isn't there anything you can do to make him stop?" Harm chuckled, "Look at the bright side Mac, at least it's not me singing." Mac glared at him.
Another ten minutes passed, Little AJ had been handed over to Bud and everyone was desperately waiting for this ride to be over. Harm kicked the edge of the boat, "Come on! MOVE!" He all but shouted out. All of a sudden the boat lurched forward. Mac and Trish both looked surprised and simultaneously they said, "Must be the flyboy charm." They looked at each other and then at Harm and burst out laughing.
Finally the ride pulled to a stop and the group got out. Everyone was more than happy to see that ride end. The group traveled to Cinderella's Golden Carousel and then went on to Cinderella's Surprise Celebration. As they were traveling they met many more Disney characters and met all of the Cinderella characters at the end of Cinderella's Surprise Celebration.
The group then came to The Haunted Mansion. Trish and Frank decided to sit this one out and said that they would keep little AJ with them. The rest of the group got into the line for the Haunted Mansion. Finally they were lead into a large plain room by an evil attendant. Inside the room there are four portraits on the wall. An evil voice fills the room and echoes off the walls, as he talks about how each of the people used to live in the mansion.
The creepy voice ceases and the walls look like they are closing in around the group. The group is lead to a large loading dock where only 2 people get into a cart and are then taken through the mansion. Everyone is screaming in front and behind Harm and Mac. So far nothing has happened until a ghost's his head comes right through the front of the cart and gives them an evil grin. Harm and Mac both gasp. As suddenly as the ghost appeared, the ghost disappeared as well. Another ghost sliced between Harm and Mac and floated in front of them bouncing.
They heard eerie cackling and Mac reached out for Harm's hand as their cart lurched and bumped along. Mac felt something cold on her shoulder and turned her head and screamed. A ghost was floating on his side above Mac's shoulder. Eerie, scary looking hands groped out of the walls and swiped at the passing carts. A ghost popped up out of nowhere coming up from the seat next to Harm. Harm let out a yelp that sounded oddly like a scream. Mac looked over at him her eyebrows raised. Harm groaned he knew Mac would never let him live that one down.
Their cart rolled in front of a bunch of mirrors that showed the carts with the two people in it but also surrounded by ghosts that weren't really there. The group exited the ride, and met up with Trish, Frank, and Little AJ. The group then decided to go on The Walt Disney Railroad. This ride took you around the Magic Kingdom and tells you how it was built.
Big Thunder Mountain was next. This ride was a lot of fun for all who went on it, except Mac. This ride was very fast as you race through a mining site with many jerky twists and turns. About half way through Mac was sitting slouched in her seat with her eyes closed. Harm who had been seated next to her wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him. Mac buried her face into his shoulder whispering, "Make it stop…please make it stop." Harm just whispered words of comfort to her and rubbed her back.
After the ride, Harm helped Mac up and out and wrapped his arm tightly around her waist. He led her over to a bench the rest of the group following closely behind. Harm gently sat Mac down on the bench and told her to put her head between her knees. Harriet bought a water bottle from a nearby vender and handed it to Harm to give to Mac. The Admiral had suggested they go to the Hall of Presidents next. Harm told the group to go check on the line to give Mac a few minutes to get her bearings.
The group left in search of the Hall of Presidents and Harm sat down next to Mac and gently rubbed her back. A few minutes later Mac slowly sat up right and Harm handed her the water bottle and she took a couple of small sips. "How you feeling?" "Better. Thanks." Harm smiled, "I'm just glad that you're okay."
The group returned and they made their way to the Hall of Presidents. They entered the air-conditioned building and took seats. The show began as the lights dimmed. All the presidents from George Washington all the way to George W. Bush were there as robots. They touched on American history and parts of the lives of each president.
By the time they reached Abraham Lincoln all of the men had slouched in their seats and had nodded off. If you were to look at the row you would see all the women awake but slightly bored and not very amused on finding the men asleep and snoring.
The Admiral at the head of the row was the loudest out of all the men. Meredith described it as being dangerously close to a chain saw. Frank was next and he was doing something very close to the Furby snore, "wo wo wo wo wo, snore, we we we we we." Bud was also had pretty loud snores. Next to him little AJ was yipping. Bud would snore and little AJ would yip 5 times. Harriet looked over at her husband and her son and shook her head. Sergei didn't snore he was just breathing deeply. Harm was the quietest of all of them, he didn't snore or at least not all the time. Occasionally, you would hear a soft snore. Sturgis was probably the second worst to the Admiral. Sturgis was getting dangerously close to imitating Darth Vadar. "hhee, huu, hee, huu."
"Imagine sleeping next to this every night," Bobbi said slightly annoyed but with a smile on her face. Mac gave her a sympathetic look and Harriet said, "At least he doesn't wear the mask and the black costume." The three women shook with silent giggles.
At the end of the show the women sat there deciding what to do with the 7 sleeping men. They finally decided to leave the men there and wait for them outside. Little AJ woke up upon hearing the clapping, so Harriet picked him up and carried him outside. The women all sat on benches just outside the entrance to the Hall of Presidents to wait for the 'boys'.
Back in the theatre Harm's head dropped onto his shoulder and he awoke with a start. He looked around and noticed that the show was over and the women were gone. He mumbled to himself about how the women left. He turned to his left and was about to wake up Sturgis when Sturgis went back to his Darth Vadar impersonation. Harm's eyes widened slightly surprised and he shook Sturgis's shoulder waking him up.
Sturgis awoke with a start and looked up at Harm who grinned mischievously, "You know buddy I think you could be the next Darth Vadar." Sturgis glared at him and the two roused the remaining men. The men walked out into the sun blinking at the brightness of it. "So you fall asleep during that and not during the Admiral's reports?" Mac quipped the second the men stepped out of the building. The Admiral glared at her and then was ambushed by Meredith. The group caught only catches of it but it went something like, "You wanted to see that, and then you fell asleep on only the 16th president!"
Harriet was scolding her husband about not setting a good example for their son. Trish lightly scolded Frank. Mac just glared at Harm who grinned sheepishly. "Now that the boys have gotten their beauty sleep shall we get to a decent spot to see the "Let's Share A Dream Come True Parade." All the men glared as they walked to the beginning of Liberty Square to watch the parade.
Harm being the tallest of the group was given AJ to place on his shoulders, so that he could see. Towards the end of the parade Mac and the rest of the group were starting to get hungry. After the parade the group made their way to the Columbia Harbor House for dinner. They entered the restaurant and were lead to a table where they ordered.
After dinner the group decided to mingle around for a little bit. Harm and Mac were walking along by some of the nearby hidden fountains in the ground. "I can't believe you fell asleep in the Hall of Presidents, Harm." Harm looked embarrassed. Mac shook her head, "You know I expected that from Little AJ but not from a grown adult." Harm looked at her incredulous, "Hey I wasn't the only one." Mac gave him a look, "Oh, stop being so immature, Harm."
Just then the fountain activated and sprouted up between her and Harm. Catching Mac up the front, and slightly catching her in the face. She grabbed onto Harm who got the full blast. Harm's face took on a pained expression and he gripped Mac's arms. Mac looked surprised and tried to hold back her laughter.
All the men in their group stood watching from the side and saw Harm get hit. "Ooouchh!" They all hissed simultaneously and their faces took on pained sympathetic expressions. Mac helped Harm over to a bench with Trish and Frank and he slowly sat down. Trish looked up, "What happened dear?" "Water fountain. Sharp, cold blast." Harm managed to get out. Frank winced and Trish looked sympathetic. Mac after having wrapped the sweatshirt around her waist once again covered her mouth with her hand trying to hide her smile.
Harm noticed Mac trying hard not to laugh, "I'm so glad you find this amusing." Mac didn't say anything, not trusting her own voice. After Harm rested for a while the group decided to look in some of the souvenir shops. They went to several gift shops and looked around. The group bought some stuff and they all were going to leave the Magic Kingdom with souvenirs.

The group now stood watching the Spectro-Magic Parade. This parade was huge with a whole lot of lights and the characters were dancing on floats. Little AJ was sleeping peacefully in his stroller as the group watched the bright, music filled parade. Immediately following the parade came an amazing fireworks show.
Bright colors lit up the starry night. The fireworks boomed and crackled overhead. Harm stood behind Mac, who was leaning against Harm, her back to his chest. His arms wrapped loosely around her waist. At the finale of the fireworks show Mac turned her head to look up at Harm. Harm looked down at her and smiled. Slowly, their faces neared and slowly the distance between them closed. Harm's lips moved slowly over Mac's and Mac returned his kiss. Trish caught the two out of the corner of her eye and quickly pulled out her camera. Quietly she snapped the picture just before Harm and Mac broke apart. That perfect moment was caught on film with a brilliant display of fireworks in the background.
The perfect ending to the perfect day…
