11 – Animal Kingdom
"Ok split up into your groups please Gambit will you go with Sam's group, Scott you go with Peter's, Blaze you go with Jubilee's and I'll go with Rogue's, we are eating at the Grill restaurant on discovery island," Storm said handing out the tickets, "Stay in your groups please and don't wander off,"
"Look at all these people, and I thought that New York was busy. There must be a hundred thousand people here." Sam commented as herself, Crystal, Wolfsbane, Vertigo and Iona entered Animal Kingdom after Gambit.
"Look Gambit they've got a safari and river rapids and look a dinosaur ride. That is so cool can we go please?" Crystal begged showing Gambit the map.
"We should start at the far side of the park it's bound to be quieter there, come on." Wolfsbane replied.
"What did Gambit do to deserve dis?" Gambit muttered to him as the five girls pulled him towards the back of the park.
"Shame Logan didn't come, you'd think he would love this place with all the animals," Iona said as they sat down in a jeep to go on the Safari. "Got your camera Crystal?"
"Yeap! This is so cool. This is the reason I always wanted to come to America. We keep getting adverts for Disney and it looked so nice, even magical because we could never afford it. I used to dream of this place imagining every detail, every ride..." Crystal broke off as they began to move.
"Is it as good as your dreams?" Vertigo asked as Crystal looked through the lens of her camera.
"Better, much better." Crystal replied, "Look Hippos!"
"Dis is gonna to be a long day!" Gambit sighed as the girls on either side of him started taking pictures of the animals.

Somehow the five girls managed to get Gambit on all the rides in the morning, they went on the River Rapids three times before Gambit said enough was enough and they had to go.
When they met up for lunch all the X-Men looked like they had been bullied into going on rides they'd rather not. Everyone swapped stories of how they had tricked their adults on to the Dinosaur rides. No one had spent any money so most people decided to go shopping after dinner although shopping for about four hours didn't seem very interesting so they 'persuaded' the X-Men to go on more rides.
It defiantly was a long day and a hot one so by the time they got back to the hotel everyone was starving, but they had to wait one and a half hours before they got it. While they waited Sam, Iona, Vertigo, Wolfsbane and Crystal sat in Sam's room planning what they were going to do to Gambit when they got to the parks with proper rides.
"We're never going to get him on Kraken though are we, it's not like the river rapids it's quite definatly a Rollercoaster, we need some kind of plan," Wolfsbane said
"We could pretend it's the cue for Journey to Atlantis, but that would mean going on Kraken first which I don't really want to do," Iona replied
"We could run off down there without telling him where we are going and then he'll have to follow," Vertigo suggested.
"You got that from Jubilee's group didn't you?" Sam said accusingly.
"Yeah but it worked didn't it?" Vertigo replied
"But Gambit will have talked to Blaze won't he? They're like best friends," Crystal reminded her.
"Good point, so what do we do?" Vertigo asked.
"I have a plan but it needs work good job tomorrow we're going to Discovery Cove so I'll have plenty of chance to perfect it."
