We can't get over how many reviews we're getting on this story! We love you! Since we can't think of any more delicious snacks to offer you...how aboutsome steak? About suggestions, we're pretty much sticking to the United States. Sorry! Now I am going to stop rambling and let you read!
Magic in the Magic Kingdom
After getting back to their hotels, the girls and boys had each receded to their separate rooms. Faint snores could be heard through the walls in the girls' room, keeping them awake.
"I'll never be able to sleep with that racket!" Ariel said, punching her pillow before turning onto a different side.
"Me either," Lily agreed.
"Since we can't sleep we might as well have a Bonding Session," Autumn suggested.
"That is a very good idea!" Lily said.
Ariel turned on the lights as Lily and Autumn began piling pillows onto the floor. Lily ordered two cartons of ice cream, chocolate-dipped strawberries, brownies, and other assorted goodies from the front desk. In no time at all there was a light knock on their door and a small woman entered carrying two trays filled with their requested snacks.
Autumn picked out a particularly large strawberry and sat down on a pillow. Lily and Ariel followed her lead, bringing the food with them.
"This Bonding Session has officially begun," Lily stated.
"Any new love interests?" Ariel asked them.
They both shook their heads and Ariel and Autumn exchanged knowing glances.
Lily looked at them both and said, "What?"
"Nothing," Ariel said.
"What do you mean 'nothing'? That was something," Lily argued.
"It didn't look like you weren't interested in anyone last night," Ariel said grinning.
Lily gave her a confused look before saying, "I wish someone would just tell me what in the world happened last night."
"No way. James is the one that needs to tell you, not us," Autumn replied.
Lily was just about to argue when Autumn stuck a brownie in her mouth. Lily, being the fanatical chocolate-lover that she is, could not resist temptation and ate her brownie in silence.
"Maybe we should just tell her," Ariel said to Autumn.
"No way! It's not any of our business!" Autumn objected.
"What if we just give her a little hint," Ariel begged. "Just a teeny tiny one." Ariel held up two fingers very close together to indicate just how teeny tiny.
"Fine," Autumn said. "One hint."
"Awesome!" Ariel exclaimed. "Hmm...well you know it happened last night in the pool right?"
"Yeah," Lily answered. "And I know it has something to do with James."
"How can I put this," Ariel pondered. "Boom bang bang!"
Autumn and Ariel erupted with laughter.
"Nice hint," Autumn said.
"Thanks," Ariel replied.
"You two are impossible," Lily said rolling her eyes.
"But you love us for it," Autumn said batting her eyelashes cutely.
"What gave you that idea?" Lily asked sarcastically.
Ariel picked up a nearby pillow and whacked Lily with it.
"Hey!" Lily exclaimed. "You're gonna pay for that!"
So the Bonding Session turned into a full fledged pillow fight, leaving every girl for herself.
After about ten minutes of bashing each other, there was a knock at their door. The three girls, pillows in hands, went to answer the door. It was Sirius.
"Hey Sirius," Lily greeted. "What are you doing here?"
"I can't sleep with all the racket you guys are making," Sirius complained, rubbing his eyes.
"Sorry," Autumn apologized.
"Wait a minute," Sirius said grinning. "We're you having a pillow fight?"
"Yeah," Lily said.
"I knew it! You guys are little freaks aren't you!"
"Oh God Sirius! That's just sick!" the three girls exclaimed together.
They then began beating Sirius with the pillows in their hands, causing him to run back to his room screaming like a little girl.
"Now that's what I call a good pillow fight," Ariel said getting into her bed.
"Night, night," Autumn said trying to suppress a yawn.
Turning of the lights they immediately fell asleep.
"We're going back to Disney World, doo-dah, doo-dah, we're going back to Disney World, doo-dah doo-dah-daaa!" Sirius was singing in the back seat. When they finally got to Disney World, they paid for their tickets, and entered the Magical Kingdom.
The first thing they noticed was a large castle looming in the distance.
"Ooo, I wanna go in the castle!" Sirius exclaimed.
Remus pulled out a map of the park and everyone leaned over to look at it.
"I'm sure Sirius would like the roller coasters," Ariel suggested.
"Either he'll really like them or he'll throw up all over us," Autumn added.
"Let's hope it's not the latter," Remus said.
Standing in line for Flying Saucer, a large roller coaster with many loops, Lily kept glancing at James. He had made no attempt to talk about that night at all today. In fact, it almost seemed like he was avoiding her.
Finally, it was their turn. There were no seats but, instead, they had to stand up. An employee put the heavy pad on their shoulders and buckled them in. They were lowered onto their backs and a loud beep resounded throughout the station.
The train slowly started moving, making a slow 'click-click' as it moved along the tracks. The smile was wiped of Sirius' face as the started going up the big hill.
"Umm, this is very high," he said weakly.
"Look at it this way, it'll help you get over your fear of heights," James told him.
Sirius began to whimper as they neared the top of the hill. The train stalled for a few seconds. "Mommy," Sirius whispered.
Suddenly, the train flipped over, creating the illusion that they were flying. They sped down the first hill, through three loops, and on, with Sirius screaming the entire time.
When the ride stopped, James' hair was even more messy than usual and Lily looked like she had an afro. Sirius' face had turned a pale green color and as soon as they let him out he ran towards a trash can.
After emptying his stomach of its contents, he wiped off his mouth and smiled. "Let's do that again!"
They rode the roller coaster three times until Sirius figured out there were others in the park. He snatched the map out of Remus' hand, searched for the nearest one, and marched meaningfully in the right direction.
"I'm surprised he can even find his way out of a paper bag," Ariel joked. "Let alone through an entire park."
But somehow he managed to do so. In the space of two hours they had ridden every roller coaster in the entire park. Slow ones, fast ones, upside down ones, even wet ones.
"I'm starved!" Autumn exclaimed after a particularly slow roller coaster.
"Whoa, for once someone is actually hungry before Sirius," James said.
Sirius' stomach growled. "Actually, I agree with her."
"So I guess we should find a place to eat," Remus said.
They found the food court and picked out a place called Minnie's Playhouse. The gaudy pink colors automatically drew the girls in, while disgusting the guys. Even Sirius was unhappy with their choice.
"Why can't we go in that one?" he whined, pointing to a restaurant named Toddlers Paradise.
"Really, Sirius, we always do everything you want to! Give us a chance every once in a while," Lily told him.
Sulking, Sirius and the boys followed Lily, Ariel, and Autumn into Minnie's Playhouse. It was actually a buffet with a large playhouse built into the middle of it. Dragging Sirius away from the slide, they got in line.
"This is really good!" James said while munching on his hamburger.
"See, girls always make the right decisions," Autumn said.
"No they don't!" Sirius argued.
"Whose idea was it to come here in the first place?" Lily questioned. "Mine."
Sirius' mouth fell open, revealing his half chewed steak.
"Really Sirius, it's not that big of a deal. Will you close your mouth before I barf?" Autumn said.
Sirius pointed behind the girls and they turned. Minnie and Mickey Mouse were standing right behind them.
"Mickey!" Sirius yelled. He jumped up, nearly upending his drink. He ran to Mickey, nearly knocking him over in a gigantic bear hug.
"Hi there," Minnie said in her squeaky voice, as Sirius switched from Mickey to Minnie.
"Do you guys mind if we join you for lunch?" Mickey asked politely.
"Of course they don't!" Sirius answered, taking Minnie and Mickey by the hand and dragging them over to their table.
Lunch with Minnie and Mickey was really fun. They told them all about the cool rides, the best and cheapest gift shops, and about the firework show, which was to take place that very night.
"We should go see the fireworks," James said as they left the restaurant.
"I agree," Lily said glancing at James. She caught his eye but that was all the recognition she got from him. Why on earth won't he talk to me? she wondered. Guys are so weird.
"Oh my God!" Ariel exclaimed.
"Like what?" Sirius replied in a girly voice.
Ariel hit him before answering, "Go carts!"
There was a huge oval shaped track that had fast whizzing go carts zooming around it. The best part was that the line was practically empty. The six looked at each other before breaking into a run.
After waiting no more than two minutes in line, they were sitting in the go carts, waiting for the ok to go. The workers tightly secured them and a loud buzz rang.
Pulling onto the track Sirius was the first to go. He was grinning from ear to ear, drool flying out of his mouth.
To say the least they all really enjoyed the go carts. I guess the fact that since they really didn't get a whole lot of chances to drive, other than their trip, made them love it all the more.
"That was awesome!" James exclaimed trying to fix his hair.
"You should have seen Sirius," Ariel said laughing. "He was drooling all over the place. Feel sorry for the person behind him."
Sirius stuck his tongue out at her.
"Right," Remus said, hoping to avoid an argument, "where to next?"
The rest of the day went by fairly quickly. It was already eight o'clock and the sky was illuminated with oranges and yellows, the colors of the setting sun.
"It's so pretty," Lily said gazing at the sun set.
"Yeah it is," Autumn agreed.
"Can you guys stop being all dreamy dreamy? We're gonna miss the firework show if we don't hurry!" Sirius exclaimed.
Sirius was right. The show started in a half an hour and they still had to make their way to Mickey and Minnie's castle, which was all the way on the other side of the park.
"It's this way," Sirius said pointing left, when they came to a fork in their path.
"No, it's definitely that way," Lily said pointing right.
"I swear it's this way!" Sirius insisted.
"How can you be so sure?" Lily asked.
"Because I remember that ice cream shop," Sirius answered simply. "I wanted to stop and get some but you guys kept walking so fast that I didn't get a chance to ask."
"I still think it's this way," Lily said, once again pointing to the right.
"Well," Remus interjected, "let's check the map."
Consulting the map, it turned out that Sirius had been right. So, after many more twists and turns they finally found the castle. A large crowd of people had already gathered.
"Whoo," James said. "I guess we aren't the only ones who want to see the fireworks."
"You can say that again," Ariel replied gaping.
"I guess we aren't..." Sirius started.
"It's just an expression," Ariel said. "You literally don't have to repeat what he said."
"Can we get closer to the front?" Autumn asked.
The six slowly pushed their way to the front of the crowd. After nearly being squished multiple times they finally reached the front.
"Ahh, much better," Remus said.
Indeed the view was much better from up front. The castle was extremely large. They had to crane their necks upward to take in the whole thing.
"I wonder if they ever get lost in there," Ariel wondered.
"I wouldn't be surprised," James replied.
Just then Mickey and Minnie appeared. The large crowd suddenly got quiet and turned to face the front.
"Welcome!" Mickey greeted. "We're go glad you decided to join us!"
"We have a very special show for you tonight," Minnie added. "We hope you enjoy!"
Just then a loud bang erupted in the sky. A bright yellow firework had taken the shape of Pluto. (The dog, not the planet.)
"Ooo..." Sirius said in awe.
Just as another firework was being sent into the sky, Lily looked over at James. Should I talk to him? she wondered. He looks really interested in the show. Ah, screw it.
"James?" Lily asked.
James turned and looked at her. "Yeah?"
"What happened the other night?"
James let out a sigh. "Why don't we just watch the show."
"Oh come on," Lily hissed. "Why don't you just tell me already? I'm getting real tired of this."
"Fine," James started. "You probably won't believe me but here goes nothing. The other night in the pool you had a little too much to drink and we sorta uhh kissed."
Lily gapped at him. She kissed him? Well that's something she didn't think she'd do in the next millennium.
"Why didn't you just tell me that in the first place?" Lily asked.
"Really now," James said. "If you were me would you have told you?"
"I see your point," Lily agreed. "Well, umm..."
"What?" James asked.
"Was it good? The kiss I mean," Lily asked, a slight blush creeping up her cheeks.
"There's only one way for you to find out," James answered, a small grin showing.
Lily thought over what James had just said. Kiss him? Again? And willingly? Oh Lord, Ariel and Autumn will totally get a kick out of this, she thought.
Lily took a glance up at the sky and noticed that there was now a bright purple Daisy Duck firework being displayed. Well, Lily thought, what do I have to loose?
"Alright then," Lily said to James. "Let me see what you got."
James wrapped his arms around Lily and pulled her closer to him; so close that she could smell his cologne. Suddenly there was a loud bang in the sky that caused Lily to jump.
"It was just a firework," James said laughing.
"Oh shut up," Lily replied.
James placed his lips on hers and images of the night before came flooding back (for James at least). They didn't start slow; it was as if they both silently agreed on taking this situation as far as they could. James tried pulling her closer to him; so close that Lily could hardly breathe but she didn't pull away; she was enjoying it.
Finally, when the need for air became too great they reluctantly pulled away.
Lily stared into James' hazel eyes; trying to read what was going through his mind. He interrupted her expression reading by asking, "So, whatcha think?"
"I've had better," Lily answered airily.
"What!" James exclaimed. "You mean to tell me that after I let you take advantage of me in the middle of Disney World all you have to say is 'I've had better.'"
Lily shrugged. "Well, it wasn't bad."
James stared at her in disbelief.
Just then Sirius came over holding a couple glow sticks. "Lookie what I got!" he exclaimed. "James, what's wrong? You look as if Christmas was cancelled."
"Nothin mate," James answered. "Where did you get the glow sticks?"
"Over there," Sirius pointed. "The nice lady gave me three for two dollars. I think she liked me." Sirius grinned. After a few moments of standing with Lily and James, Sirius left to go find the rest of his friends.
"So you really think that kiss wasn't awesome?" James asked.
Lily thought for a second before answering, "If it will shut you up and boost your ego, it was the best ever."
James smiled widely. "I knew it!" he exclaimed. "You've had a crush on me for years, haven't ya?"
"Uhh...not quite," Lily said looking at him as if he was crazy.
James wrapped an arm around her. "But seriously, it was great wasn't it?"
Lily silently agreed with him. There was something about that kiss that she hadn't ever felt with any of her previous ones. Maybe it was because James was her friend for all those years or maybe it was because his mouth tasted of cheese burger; she just didn't know.
When the firework show was over they all drove back to their hotel; getting some sleep before tomorrow's long trip.
