I'm back with another chapter. Today's reviewer of the day goes to GuruSeries! Lol. I liked your review. In fact, I like all of your reviews! So, anyway, can you guys let me know which your favorite and least favorite plotlines are? I want to know which ones I should develop more and which I should include less. Thanks!

Marco sighed as he sat down in the seat on Thunder Mountain next to Mr. Simpson. Just because he had been separated from his group, Simpson had made him spend the rest of the day riding rides with the teachers. And he could tell you that that was extremely dull.

"Isn't this a great ride?" Mr. Simpson asked Marco.

"Sure," Marco muttered. Behind him, Mr. Armstrong and Ms. Hatzilakos were chattering away happily about none other than the physics of the ride. It was summer. They were on vacation. Didn't they have anything more interesting to talk about?

After the ride was over, Armstrong suggested lunch. He led them to New Orleans Square where the Blue Bayou was situated.

"I thought you had to have reservations ahead of time for this," said Ms. Hatzilakos.

"Oh, don't worry," Mr. Armstrong replied. "I called in a few weeks ago."

Marco wrinkled his nose in disgust as he read the menu on the wall. Portobello Mushrooms? Caribbean Crab Cakes? How un-Disneyland. He had kind of been hoping for something simple for lunch. Like maybe a hamburger or pizza.

"I think I'm gonna get something from a nearby restaurant," Marco told them. "I'll be right back."

"Uh, no," Mr. Simpson said. "You need to stay with us." Marco groaned. He followed the teachers as they entered the restaurant. It was pretty much dark except for the candles that lit up the tables. He could see off to the side people riding in boats through the water. Mr. Armstrong commented that that was part of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. The waitress led them to a table. Marco sat as the teachers talked, trying hard not to fall asleep.

"I need to find Manny," Craig thought as he followed Sean and Kyle to the Pizza Port for lunch. "Where is she? I need to find Manny." He almost bumped into a pole as he was lost in thought.

"Uh, are you okay, Craig?" Sean asked, noticing Craig's lack of consciousness.

"Yeah, yeah," Craig replied. "Just thinking."

They entered Pizza Port and began picking out lunch. Craig picked up a "Lunar Cheese Pizza" and headed over to the cashier. As he was looking through his wallet for cash, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Manny standing there.

"Manny!" he said smiling.

"Hi, Craig," she said. He was suddenly acting so friendly towards her. It was weird. "Can I talk to you?"

"I actually wanted to talk to you too," Craig told her. "You go first."

"No, you," Manny said.

"Okay," Craig began. "You know about yesterday?" Manny nodded her head. "Um, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have run off like that."

"And I'm sorry for not being rude to you after that," she apologized.

"Friends?" Craig asked.

"Friends," agreed Manny although she was still hoping he thought more of her than that.

"So, do you guys want to eat with us?" questioned Craig as he noticed that Emma and Sean were already talking happily by the soda machine. "Why aren't Emma and Sean together in a group anyway?"

"JT begged us to be in his group, although I'm not sure why, and I said that we would before Sean asked Emma to be in your group," Manny explained.

"Oh. So why don't we just all hang out together?" suggested Craig.

"Cool," Manny said, excited at the prospect of spending all day at Disneyland with this adorable, funny, sweet, kind (was there any doubt she was totally into him?) guy named Craig.

"So, have you girls eaten lunch yet?" Aaron asked Paige and Hazel as they began walking through Downtown Disney.

"Nope," they answered.

"Then let me treat you to it!" said Aaron. This was another aspect of Aaron that Paige totally loved. He was so polite and caring. They saw some outdoor tables that appeared to be part of a restaurant called "Uva Bar" and agreed to eat there.

Aaron pulled out Paige's chair for her and let her sit down. He then waited until Hazel was seated until he sat down next to Paige. She loved these manners he had. They ordered their meals and talked small talk until their food arrived. When they finished lunch, Aaron paid the bill and they continued walking through Downtown Disney.

They stopped in Build-A-Bear Workshop and decided to make teddy bears. Paige normally wouldn't have been caught dead in a store like this, but things were different. Aaron was here.

"I'll be right back," he told them after they had picked out their skins. He found the sound area of the store. He knew that you could record your own message, and he chose to do this. After recording it, he returned to Hazel and Paige who were getting their bears stuffed, hiding the sound thing behind his back.

"What were you up to?" Paige asked him.

"Oh, nothing," he replied mischievously. Paige looked at him doubtfully.

The three of them finished making their bears, bought a few pieces of clothing for them, and paid. When they were back outside, Aaron handed Paige his bear.

"I want you to have mine," he told her. "Press the stomach."

She did as he was told and laughed as she heard the message. "Paige, you are the coolest girl I've ever met. I'm so glad to know you. Don't ever change!"

Liberty had decided not to go to Disneyland. She waited in her hotel room staring at the phone, waiting for it to ring with news about her uncle. Looking at the clock, she realized that she had been doing this for almost 3 hours.

She practically fell off the bed when she heard the phone ringing.

"Hello?" she answered, shaking.

"Is Manny there?" the voice on the other end asked. Liberty let out a sigh of disappointment.

"No, she's not. May I take a message?" she asked politely.

"This is her father," the voice told her. "I'll just call back later." Liberty hung up the phone and returned to her wait for a call. She soon began drifting asleep. Suddenly, the phone rang again waking her up.

She answered the phone. "Hi Liberty," her dad said over the phone. "Bad news." Liberty cringed wondering how bad the news really was. "James.he's.he's.well, he passed away about twenty minutes ago." Yep, this news was bad.
