Chapter 19: Off to Disney Land
"Come on!" Sydney shouted from the bottom of the stairs. Madi still hadn't got dressed yet and Sydney and Vaughn wanted to get going on their holiday. Ten minutes later Madi came downstairs, her jumper on back-to-front and her socks inside out. Sydney couldn't suppress laughing.
"Oh you silly thing." Sydney said laughing. Madi grumbled.
"Don't laugh Mummy." She said and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Come on lets get this on the right way. Well done for trying to dress yourself."
Madi smiled as Sydney put her jumper on the right way and sorted her socks out.
"Go and get your shoes on and we'll have to go. The plane can't wait for us."
Madi grinned.
"I'm going to see Mickey Mouse!" Madi shouted and hugged Sydney tight. Sydney smiled at her Daughter and went to greet Vaughn by the car. When they were all set they started to drive to the plane to go to Paris. Madi couldn't sit still and was jumping up and down in her seat shouting Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse. It seemed he had become her favourite character. After they had checked in they got on the plane and flew to Paris.
They arrived in Paris a headed to Disneyland. Madi ran through the gates to the park and they went to check into their hotel. Sydney and Vaughn had chosen a really nice hotel that looked over a lake. They went inside and straight away Madi spotted Goofy chatting to some kids in a corner. She raced over and started to ask for a hug and his autograph. He gave Madi and big hug and Madi shook his hand and smiled at him. She raced back to Sydney and Vaughn proudly showing them her autograph in her book.
"Goofy gave me a big hug!" Madi cried excitingly.
"That's great Sweetheart." Vaughn said, smiling.
An hour later they had checked into their hotel, unpacked and settled into their room.
"I want to go on the rides." Madi whined, pulling Sydney towards the door. "Come on Mummy. Come on Daddy." She said, jumping up and down happily.
"Ok." Vaughn said, "I'll get my coat on and we'll head to the park."
Madi gave Vaughn a big hug.
"I love you Daddy."
"Love you too Sweetheart." Vaughn replied.
Vaughn, Sydney and Madi left the building for the park.
They entered the big park and immediately Madi spotted the Dumbo ride. She raced over, her parents not far behind.
"Come on Mummy!" Madi shouted, "I want to ride with you."
Sydney smiled.
"Is that okay Michael?" She asked him.
"Sure. I'll take a photo whilst you're flying around."
Sydney kissed him on the cheek and guided Madi over the queue. A couple of minutes later they bordered the ride and Madi climbed into the pink elephant with Sydney. The ride started and Madi pulled the lever to go up and then pulled it to go down.
"Weeee!" Madi cried as it went up and down. Sydney held on and looked out for Vaughn on the way round. When she spotted him she waved at him and flashed him a smile. The ride finished and everyone got off. Madi raced to Vaughn.
"Did you see me daddy?" Madi asked Vaughn.
"Yep I saw you. Looked like you were really flying."
"Yeah it's called Magic." Madi said, smiling proudly.
"Come on." Sydney said, "Let's find the Pirates of the Caribbean ride"
"Yay!" Madi chirped, "Will there be real Pirates like in Peter Pan?"
Sydney laughed.
"These one's are just models."
Madi nodded and took Sydney's hand as the three of them walked to the ride. The ride wasn't busy so they got on straight away. Half way through the ride Madi started to get frightened by the dark and started to cry. Memories of feeling trapped in the fire came back and she started to try and get out of the boat.
"I want to get off!" Madi cried, "I'm really scared."
Vaughn hugged Madi tight.
"Its okay Sweetheart it's nearly over." Madi just cried louder.
"I don't like the dark." She said and hid her face in Vaughn's neck. Vaughn rubbed her back, whispering soothing words into her ear until they got off the ride. Vaughn carried Madi outside and he and Sydney sat down on a bench. Madi was sobbing her heart out.
"Maybe going on the ride was a bad idea." Sydney said.
Vaughn nodded.
"I thought she's stopped being scared of dark."
"Obviously not." Sydney replied.
Madi mumbled something into Vaughn neck.
"What was that Madi?" Vaughn asked.
Madi sniffed.
"I don't like that ride. I thought I was going to get burnt again."
Vaughn looked at her confused.
"Burnt? Why would you get burnt on a ride?"
"When Mummy and I were in the fire it was dark. The ride was dark and I thought there might be a fire and I get burnt again." Madi looked at Vaughn with wide eyes.
"Oh Sweetheart there won't be a fire on that ride and you're defiantly won't get burnt. Mummy and I are very sorry that you feel that way. We promise we'll ask you first if you want to go on a ride okay?"
Madi nodded and wiped her eyes.
"I was scared."
Vaughn kissed her on the head.
"I know you were and there are some rides that scare me too."
Sydney looked at Vaughn.
"Like what?" She asked him with a grin.
"I'm not telling you." He replied.
"Come on!" Sydney said, "I want to know."
"Ok. Ok. It's a small world creeps me out. You know the music…"
Sydney cut him off and burst into laughter.
"God Michael you are such a wimp!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
Madi stamped her feet.
"Be quiet! I want to find Mickey Mouse!"
Sydney looked at Vaughn burst into laughter again.
"I was thinking." Vaughn said as they ate lunch "As its Madi's Birthday tomorrow that we should do something special."
Sydney nodded "I agree."
Madi took a bite of her cheese sandwich.
"I'm going to be five." She reminds Sydney who was still remembering parts about her Daughter.
"I know but thanks for reminding me. Madi, would you like to see Mickey Mouse and Mini for your Birthday?"
Madi practically jumped up in the air and into the clouds.
"Really? Can I? Oh please? I love Mickey and Mini."
Vaughn and Sydney smiled.
"Sure you can." Vaughn said "We're going to have breakfast with him, Mini and rest of the Disney characters."
"Even Goofy and Donald Duck?" Madi asked.
"Even them."
Madi quickly hugged Vaughn and Sydney tight.
"I love you Mummy and Daddy." She said kissing them on the cheeks.
AN: Thanks for the reviews so far. Next chapter Madi gets to meet the Disney Characters and Sydney discovers something. I am now part of the club. I have to wear glasses now when on the computer. So now I look even smarter when I write this fanfic.
