She looked gorgeous in her outfit. The sundress was light and airy, flowing in the wind. She had sunglasses on, covering her sky blue stare. Her hair was up in two buns and her and two lone curls hung in front.
She looked effortlessly beautiful.
And that beautiful girl came to him last night.
He remembered how close she slept to him, her sent intoxicated him. It was like a mix of coconuts and pineapples, tropical and sweet.
He was disappointed when he woke up to an empty bed, to say the least. He was normally an earlier bird but yesterday wore him out.
But she's worth it.
"They're staying on the concierge level," Caroline told him as he opened the door for her to enter the tower.
"Rebekah needs the best," Klaus muttered.
"Stefan and Kol are there too, don't forget."
"Oh I didn't."
"Hello, were here for Rebekah Mikaels—" Caroline started before she was interrupted.
"Nik!" The blonde original ran to her brother. "These are them, miss," she told the receptionist.
The woman nodded and gave them passes to go up to the room on the 12th floor of the tower.
"Hey Rebekah," Klaus smiled. Despite how much of a fuss he's put up, he was glad to see his sister, though it has only been a few days.
"I saw Caroline this morning, why not you?" she pouted.
"I was doing research," he replied simply as they stepped onto the elevator.
"Research?"
"He was watching this youtuber, he and his wife have fun videos of touring the parks, resorts and pretty much everything Disney related," Caroline explained.
"Huh, okay," Rebekah narrowed her eyes at her newly changed brother.
They arrived on the twelfth floor pretty quickly. The doors opened and it was like a whole new resort. There was hang out room right in the front with couches and a TV. There was a kitchen and a mini bar, tables lined with breakfast foods.
"The food here changes every few hours depending on what course of the day it is," the receptionist welcomed them. "Enjoy your visit."
"Thank you miss," Caroline smiled politely.
"The rooms are this way," Rebekah pointed to the left. "We made Kol get his own but I have a bad feeling he's going to be crashing with us."
"Well he snores like a truck so have fun with that," Klaus reminded her.
"Then we'll just make him go down to you," Rebekah shot back.
"Please no, I can't deal with that," Caroline said.
Rebekah chuckled. "Then you're lucky you have Nik, come on, follow me."
She led them down a hallway to her and Stefan's room. She pressed her magic band to the door and opened it.
"I'm back!" She called.
Their room was pretty much the same despite being on the concierge level. Two beds, a couch, a tv, bathroom, dresser, fridge, nightstand, desk, outlets, all pretty much the same.
"This looks the bloody same as our room," Klaus said.
"It's not, come here," Rebekah dragged the two across the room, passing Stefan and Kol who lounged out on the two beds. "The view is to die for," she opened the drapes and the sliding glass door to the balcony.
The two stepped out and Rebekah stayed back. There was a table and two chairs out there, the fence was modern and had little Mickey heads engraved into the bars.
"Wow," Caroline awed. The view was amazing. Most of the Magic Kingdom was visible. Tiny people were flooding the inside. The big Spaceship Earth bubble was there too, one of the things that stood out the most. The best part about it was that the castle was in perfect view. Underneath there was the parking lot of the contemporary and off to the side was part of Bay Lake.
"This means that at night the firework show at the magic kingdom will be visible," Klaus pointed out.
Caroline nodded and stood towards the edge. "You're right."
They headed back inside a few minutes later to greet Stefan and Kol.
"Nik!" Kol patted his brothers shoulder. "I haven't seen you in at least a month."
"Well you took the fastest route out of Mystic Falls, where did you go again?"
"Hm, Rome, Vienna, Sydney, I made my way around. Didn't want to get daggered again."
Klaus tensed and he stepped back from his brother.
"I'm kidding, Nik, chill."
Klaus nodded and shook his brothers hand again lightly. He does feel bad for daggering them, all of them, but he doesn't regret it. Kol will never stop joking about it, he says he's kidding, but Klaus knows he still is angry about it and trying to make him feel guilty. They're all free now, Rebekah, Elijah, Kol, even himself. Finn died a few months before, though but he still never really liked any of them.
"Klaus," Stefan stood up.
"Old friend," Klaus smirked before they gave each other a bro hug.
"Oh how the tables have turned," Caroline commented.
"For the better," Klaus added before he sat down next to Caroline on the edge of the bed.
"I already saw all of you earlier, so hi again I guess," Caroline waved.
Stefan gave her a hug, receiving a dirty look from Klaus but he hid it well.
"So where are we going today?" Rebekah asked.
"We're going to Hollywood studios," Klaus pointed to him and Caroline and empathized the 'we're'.
"Oh awesome!" She jumped up. "We'll just have to join you then."
Klaus stared at his sister disapprovingly.
"Come on Nik it'll be fun!" Kol poked.
He face palmed and sighed. "Fine."
KCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCK
"You didn't have to let them come," Caroline told him.
"I did," Klaus sighed.
"I know you don't want them too…"
"Honestly, I don't really care as long as they don't cause trouble."
"Trouble? You are the master at trouble making," she looked over at him.
"Well, I can control it. Rebekah and Kol are a bad mix sometimes. They bicker a lot and usually it ends in someone being daggered or some bystander getting their heart ripped out."
"Oh, well then I get it," she sat down on the bench at the bus stop. "You're also okay with taking the public Disney bus?"
"Caroline, I'm fine. I told you a thousand times I'm okay with all of this, because you wish it."
She smiled and nodded, playing with her little side bag to distract herself because of how close they were sitting. "Are we going to watch the fireworks from the 12th floor tonight? We dont even need to be in their room, theres a balcony in the lobby."
"If you'd like to, of course."
"We're here," Rebekah called as she, Stefan and Kol approached. "Nik why are you still dressed like that it's a billion bloody degrees?"
Klaus shrugged. "I don't care."
"When does the bus get here?" Kol asked, sitting down on one of the benches.
"I dont know," Caroline said. "Just when one approaches look at name."
KCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCK
20 minutes later a Hollywood studios bus came.
They were the first ones to board the bus, escaping the heat and entering the cool area.
Caroline and Rebekah ran to the back. It was empty, in the front by the bus driver there were seats that lined either side of the bus, then towards the middle there were doors and spaces for handicap people, and then in the back there was a step leading up to more seat that lines the wall and two sides. Caroline sat up against the window and Rebekah sat next to her, but then moved when she realized Klaus was going to kill her.
"It's so much cooler in here," Caroline said, pulling her sunglasses onto her head.
"I like it, hopefully it doesn't get too packed though," Rebekah added.
"How long till we get there?" Stefan asked, more directed to Klaus.
"Not sure, I know it probably makes a few more stops, but Hollywood studios is about 10 minutes away," Klaus answered, looking at his phone for reassurance.
As the bus drove, it filled up but no one really made their way towards the back row. They didn't talk much, Caroline looked out the window next to her, propping her legs up on the chair in front of her that was facing the opposite direction.
"So what is this park like?" Kol wondered.
"Hollywood," Rebekah looked at her brother.
"That's so general," he scoffed. "Nik, Caroline, whats it like?"
"I know that there used to be a giant mickey hat in the middle, but thats gone now so…" Caroline said.
"It's based off of Disney movies," Klaus generalized. "Theres like a Toy Story land or something I think."
"I know that there are like famous peoples clothes there," Stefan added. "Damon and I took a trip here years ago one of the gaps where we didn't want to rip each others heads off."
Klaus nodded. "There used to be a ride here called 'the great movie ride' but it was recently taken down."
"That sucks," Caroline pouted. "I want to go on the roller coaster— it was called umm—"
"Rockin Rollercoaster," Klaus finished.
"Yes."
"Oh and that huge hotel ride," Rebekah added.
"Tower of Terror," Stefan said. "We'll fit in well there."
"Also tomorrow at the Magic Kingdom with the Haunted Mansion," Caroline pointed out.
"Are we eating lunch somewhere?" Rebekah asked.
"Caroline and I have a quick service ABC Commissary," Klaus said.
"What the bloody hell is that?"
"It's based off of the channel ABC on TV. It has like pictures and references scattered around the place. It looked cool and food was decent so we booked it," Caroline said.
"Do you have the meal plan sister?"
"Um—no what is that?"
Klaus sighed and Caroline chuckled. "You can just compel your way in I guess," he said.
"Hey! I said no compelling!"
"Technically, I'm not doing it, one of those three will," he pointed to them.
"Fine."
KCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCK
Not long later they arrived at the park and got off of the bus.
"Wow!" Caroline awed. "Look it's the Tower of Terror!"
The ancient-hotel-like-building peeked over the trees. They could hear the screams of the people riding it without their vamp hearing.
"Can we get Starbucks?" Rebekah tapped Klaus the shoulder.
"I don't care."
"Fantastic," Rebekah went over and locked hands with Stefan.
"I feel so alone right now it's not even funny," Kol muttered.
Caroline blushed and Klaus narrowed his eyes.
"Then find some girl off the streets, you're good at that," Rebekah teased.
"Funny Bex," Kol rolled his eyes. There was one person who piqued his interest and flooded his mind every so often. The little Bennett witch from Mystic Falls. She stood up to him and put him in his place, much like Caroline does to Klaus. She was beautiful and strong...
"What about the Bennett witch?" Klaus asked.
"Bonnie?!" Caroline and Stefan gasped.
"She doesn't like me," Kol sighed.
"You like Bonnie?" Caroline ran over to Kol.
"I don't like anyone, she just—gets to me."
"She puts him in his place," Stefan reasoned.
"I can call her, she's not involved with anyone—"
"But then you will expose that you are here with me," Klaus reminded her.
"Shit you're right," she slipped. "Well, we'll see when the time comes."
The got their few bags checked and entered the park by scanning the magic bands.
"Okay I already love it here," Caroline squealed. Right in front of them was a little circular kiosk with all little Disney toys and collectables for kids called "Crossroads of the World". Behind that was the main street part of the park with shops and little places to get food, including the Starbucks.
"Oh look theres Starbucks!" Rebekah pointed.
"We can go right?" Caroline looked for reassurance.
Klaus nodded and the other two sighed in agreement.
"Let's go Care bear!" Rebekah grabbed Caroline's arm and pulled her along.
"Okay if we're going to be friends do not call me Care Bear!"
The boys chuckled and followed swiftly behind.
KCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCK
They all got Starbucks using Klaus and Caroline's snack options for their dining pass.
"This is actually really good," Caroline mused. She got a strawberry acai lemonade Refresher. "Wanna try?" she teased at Klaus who sipped on a dark roast coffee.
"I'm good love," he smirked as they walked out of the shop.
"Where to first?" Rebekah asked, drinking her passion fruit lemonade.
"How bout Tower of Terror?" Stefan suggested. "Looks great to start the day off with."
KCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCK
"What are you scared?" Caroline teased Klaus as he looked up at the ride.
"No! Believe it or not I have never been on a ride before."
"Unless you count a house and buggy a ride," she giggled. "Come on, it'll be fun."
She pulled on his hand and dragged him on line.
"Do you have fast pass?" Rebekah asked.
"We can do that?" Caroline answered.
"Guess not," Stefan looked past to Rebekah.
"All all knowing Niklaus Mikaelson didn't book fast passes?" Kol gasped fakely. "Shame, Nik."
"We'll do them later for other days," he brushed off. "Besides, it's not very crowded anyway."
They waited on line for 20 minutes, going through a hotel lobby and eventually into another room to watch a video.
"This is actually freaky," Caroline muttered as they walked into the dark room. Klaus leaned against the back and Caroline accidentally bumped into his chest. She couldn't move out of it because the room filled up instantly.
Crap!
She was leaning against his tense chest like she had the night before.
"S-Sorry," she gulped.
"No worries," he smirked.
The video of the people getting locked in an elevator and then it getting struck with lightning played, causing little kids to scream. The story of the ride is that people got struck by lightning on an elevator and now haunt the hotel, hence the title of the 'tower of terror'.
"And we're going to ride this bloody thing?" Kol said once they got into the next room.
Caroline took a breath of fresh air and stretched. "Yes, don't be a scaredy cat like your brother!"
KCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCK
Their elevator opened and the creepy-actor-ride-staff-member let them inside.
"Do they really need to talk like that?" Rebekah whispered behind Caroline.
"Apparently," she answered. They were sent to the back of the elevator, the last row, Klaus was in the first seat against the wall followed by Caroline, then Rebekah, then Stefan, then Kol.
"So the ride just drops us like—100 feet right?" Kol said, leaning over to see the rest clearer.
"100 is a bit extreme, Kol," Klaus said. "It drops in pieces."
"So much better," he replied sarcastically.
The doors closed once everyone was filled in and then the elevator started to move upwards.
"Do we like know when it will drop?" Caroline looked to Klaus with a slightly panicked look.
"One, I have never been on this so I have as much knowledge as you do and two, who's the scared one now?"
"Ha ha, funny," she rolled her eyes.
They started to move forward, or what felt like it. A creepy voice talked to them and projected ghosts ran around the screen.
Then they stopped.
"Okay yup this is it—!" Kol shouted as a window opened up and they started to plummet.
"Yup there we go!" Caroline screamed and obliviously grabbed onto Klaus's arm.
Klaus chuckled and looked at her face as it turned from shock to genuine laughter in mere seconds.
"This is amazing!" she giggled and looked at him with pure happiness in her eyes.
KCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCK
"That was worth the wait," Rebekah said, smoothing down her pin straight hair.
"It was," Caroline agreed.
"Where should we go next?" Stefan asked.
"Well our quick service is in 45 minutes so why not do this ride here?" Klaus pointed out to Rockin' Rollercoaster.
"Hell yeah," Caroline smirked.
"I have to sit alone, right?" Kol groaned.
"It's two people per car so, yeah," Rebekah teased.
"Nik can I steal Caroline?" Kol pleaded.
Caroline threw a helpless shrug to Klaus. "Up to you."
He sighed, not wanting to approve of this advancement. "One ride."
