Author's Note: Hi guys! I know its been nearly two years, but I'm back! Last chapter had a lot of action, so this one is a filler. The next chapter will have a lot going on, I promise! Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys the latest installment of Magic After Dark!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything!


Geoff followed the malnourished beagle known as Asher through the winding halls of the Utilidors. He was in a panic; while he had escaped the Haunted Mansion with only a few bruises, cuts, and a new fear of ghosts, his best bud was close to death. Duncan, who was being half-dragged by the party boy, was slipping in and out of consciousness. An ax deeply lodged in his back was causing him to lose a substantial amount of blood. Geoff was beginning to realize that there was a strong possibility that his best and closest friend was going to die in his arms. He pushed himself to move faster, death was going to lose tonight.

Asher howled, and not even five minutes later, Geoff heard the sound of multiple footsteps coming toward them. Bridgette, Jazz, Danny, and DJ all came around the corner, freezing in shock at the sight of the two teenage boys. Bridgette teared up at the sight while DJ nearly fainted and had to return to the room where the others were.

"What happened!?" Jazz gasped, wide-eyed.

"The ghost bride…" was all Geoff could get out. As he took a look at his best friend, now lying on the floor, he did all he could to hold back his tears. However, it was to no avail. The waterworks came suddenly, and Bridgette gave him a hug so as to comfort him.

"Hello, Dr. Willett? Yes, this is he. I need yourself and Nurse Leah in the E12 ASAP. It's a Code Nightmare Level 13. Send Ray and Hansen to pick up the patient. He's bleeding out fast!" Danny Griffins hung up and began to dial another number: 1-313-999-3113. "Hello, Lucius."

"Hello boss, don't you worry bout' a thing. I've got those ol' hitchhikers mopping up the blood fer you. It'll be done in a jiffy" the old caretaker replied while directing said hitchhikers to the next area that needs to be cleaned.

"That's fine, thank you Lucius. I'm still coming down though, as it is the scene of a crime….you did take photos, right?" He had a feeling that the old timer had forgotten that step of the process.

"I remembered all right, but I don't think that they came out so good. Sorry bout' that boss" Lucius replied sheepishly, he was still getting used to his "newfangled, flashy gizmo."

"Well, don't sell yourself short. I'll check them out when I get there. Oh, and can you call Garett for me? Tell him that we need a new cage for the bride" Danny asked, hanging up.

"Are you heading over to the mansion now?" Jazz asked.

"Yes, and immediately after that I have to go to Celebration Hospital to follow up with Carlton and Amber. You are in charge of the teens, make sure they get home safely. Also, I need you to take Geoff's statement for our records…and for my report" with that, Danny left the group.

Jazz watched him turn the corner, and then she took out her phone.

"Okay everyone, lets go back to Danny's office. Geoff, when you are ready, we'll go to another office where I'll record your story of tonight's events" Jazz started to walk toward Danny's office and everyone quietly followed her.

"What happened?" "Where's Duncan?" "Was Courtney there?" "Who tried to kill you?" "What's with blood all over your clothes?" "Are you hurt?"

Those were just some of the questions that Geoff was inundated with as he and the others re-entered the rather large office.

"Geoff is pretty shaken up, so please give him some time. I can answer most of your questions" Jazz led Geoff to comfiest seat in the room, Danny's giant office chair. It looked the like the lovechild of a regular office chair and a reclining armchair. The result was the comfiest, and not to mention cutest (it was light brown with very small, black classic mickeys all over it) office chair in all creation, at least according to Jazz. "No one is to tell Danny that I am allowing Geoff to sit in his chair. He is extremely protective over his chair and I won't hear the end of it if he finds out. Does everyone understand me?"

Every single teen nodded and Jazz started to speak again.

"Thanks guys. Okay so, Duncan was attacked by Constance and was whisked away to Celebration Hospital's emergency room. Geoff is just in shock over the events and-"

"Did you know that the ghost bride was real before sending them in there!?" Noah inquired.

"Yes, and I did give them ample warning. I had written instructions about the attic in the papers that I had given Duncan. I have assumed that neither one of them fully read those instructions and that's what had led to that horrific incident" she replied.

"Big D only told me about the parts that say where we supposed to look for Courtney. I guess he ignored the other parts" Geoff muttered, not making eye contact with the female Cast Member.

"And you clearly didn't find her there, did you?" Jazz asked.

"N-No, she was moved. They had her in the suit of armor by the thirteen clock, Duncan found her hairs inside of the helmet and I found her PDA in front of the singing busts in the graveyard" Geoff explained, trying to right the situation that he found himself in.

"So we're on the right track, that's good. Okay, so Geoff, can you come with me? I need to record your report of what happened in the mansion Oh, and Bridgette, I am in need of your assistance as well " Jazz asked, placing her hand on the traumatized party boy's shoulder.

"Wait! Then can you tell us the real story of the mansion? What if any of us have to go back there? We have to be able to protect ourselves, but we won't be able to unless we know exactly what we are up against. Clearly there's a good reason behind putting out several different stories and I don't think its because there isn't one story" Noah inquired.

"There is a real story, Leota confirmed it, well, sort of" Geoff added, getting up from Danny's special chair. Bridgette gave him a hug and then he left the room.

"Yes, there is a real story, but I don't have the clearance to tell it to you. Let me ask Danny next time I talk to him. Anyway, come on Geoff, Bridgette" Jazz replied as she left the room.

Jazz led the teens around a few corners to an ordinary looking office, however it was one of the few, besides Danny's, that was soundproof. Bridgette was asked to stand outside while the interview was being conducted, and Jazz unlocked the room. The office that the male teen and cast member walked into was not nearly as big as Danny's. However, that was because of the size of the desk as well as the amount of filing cabinets in the room. The office was seemingly well organized, and very, very clean. It also looked as if a home network star designed it. The walls were painted a shade of creme and the floor was carpeted a slightly darker shade of creme. The furniture was all black with pops of blue. For example, the black desk lamp had a blue lampshade, the all of the chairs in the room were black with blue cushions, most of the books and files in the black bookcase were blue, etc. Even the photo frames were either black or blue.

"Whose office is this?" Geoff asked, sitting down in the swivel chair that was placed in front of the rather large, black wooden desk.

Jazz was fiddling with the security cameras as well as her vocal recording device. She did not want lose focus on her important tasks, so she answered his question by turning on the office's main lights. Geoff looked at the nameplate on the desk, which read: Mrs. Francesca Preston, Financial Executive/Senior Maintenance Director/Parks Protection Support Officer. The last name seemed vaguely familiar to Geoff, however, he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Unable to recall when he had heard the name before, he picked up one of the three photo frames that sat on the desk and turned it around. To his surprise, he found Courtney smiling back at him. The photo was definitely current as she didn't look any younger than when he had first met her a little over a week ago. The second frame, however, contained another photo of Courtney, this time from when she was a baby. He smiled at the photo, knowing that Duncan would get a kick out of it. The third frame displayed a formal, professionally taken family photo of Courtney and her parents. She was probably around twelve or thirteen years old when the family went to have it done. Jazz finally finished what she was doing and sat in the larger, swivel chair behind the desk.

"I believe that you have figured out whose office this is" she stated, all-knowing.

"Courtney's mom's office" Geoff answered, softly.

"Yes, and I have brought you here not only to interview you, but also to have Bridgette help me to find something that could be very useful against threats in the future. The second task must stay between the three of us unless I tell you otherwise. I'll repeat that when Bridgette joins us later. First things first, let's get this interview over with. State your full name" Jazz instructed.

"Geoffrey Richard Wakeler" Geoff responded.

"You went to the Haunted Mansion tonight with whom?"

"My best bro, Duncan Bradley Mavis."

"You went in search of one, Courtney Valeria Preston, correct?"

"Yeah."

"And you did not find her."

"Yeah" he replied despondently, looking at a photo of the brunette. Although he really didn't know Courtney, he knew that she was important to Bridgette and Duncan. That made Courtney important to him as well. Being in her mom's office made him think about what her parents are going to be like if something happened to her. He could not and did not even want to imagine it, but, as much as he hated to admit it, the possibility was all too real. Especially considering what had happened to Big D tonight. He shook it off for the time being, focusing on Jazz once more.

"What did you find and how did you find it?"

"I think that it would just be easier to start from the beginning."

"That's fine, I know this is going to be tough, so take as long as you need to tell your story."

While the interview was being conducted, the other six teens decided to sneak out of Danny's office in order to obtain a good, hearty meal for Asher. The group decided on Casey's Corner and they entered the eatery through the Cast Member entrance/exit. Gwen entered the kitchen, finding as expected, everything cleaned and put away for the night. The Goth walked over to the giant refrigerator and started working on the lock, which surprisingly, was more complex than lock that she had just picked to get into the restaurant.

"Why don't you guys sit down while I work on this?" Gwen did not turn around, she was entirely focused on this intricate lock.

The other five teenagers did just that, and choose spots on the bleachers, then they decided to start going over what they knew in hopes of coming up with a new lead.

"Geoff told me that the caretaker mentioned that witches took Courtney" DJ started the discussion, anxiety for both his best friend and his new friend evident in his eyes.

"Okay so then let's list all of the witches that Disney has created" Leshawna suggested.

"I agree that we should do that, however, we should only list witches with a presence in the parks. Also, based on what we know about Lucius, we should broaden our definition of 'witches' to any female who can do magic. Obviously the female must also be antagonistic because none of Disney's good fairies seem the type to abduct people or hang out with ghosts and ghouls" Noah added, pulling out a pen and a notebook from his backpack.

"Let's start with the Magic Kingdom guys. Well, there's the Evil Queen from the Snow White ride and um I think that's it for that park man" Trent started the list.

"We can already rule out Epcot and Animal Kingdom, which leaves Hollywood Studios. Ursula resides in 'Voyage of the Little Mermaid' and Maleficent is the main villain of 'Fantasmic'" Noah chimed back in, not looking up from the notebook.

"Maleficent!? Oh hell no! That bitch is the worst of the worst!" Leshawna commented, freaking.

"Totally, the worst! We are so in way over our heads!" added Katie.

"Oh and we weren't when we were nearly killed by pirates-" Leshawna started.

"And ghosts" Gwen interrupted while rejoining the group, holding a tray of hot dogs, spoons, condiments, and water bottles in her hands. She placed a few hot dogs and bowl of water on the ground for Asher, meanwhile the others took their meals off the tray, which was now located on the middle of their table. "We have been in way over our heads since we let Duncan take us the long way to that messed up attraction. Other than that cancelled parade, nothing seemed off or unusual until we took that midnight stroll through Liberty Square and Frontierland. He was curious and we're not wrong for following him. We could have split up but we didn't. We were all curious and why wouldn't we have been. Its Disney World, everything here has some kind of magic in it. We're ten ordinary teenagers, magic definitely goes over our heads. Big time. Even if we hadn't gone with Duncan that night, heck even if Duncan hadn't seen what he saw, I believe that we still would have been drawn into all of this. We are in way over our heads for a reason, just don't ask me what that reason is yet" Gwen finished her speech to dead silence. It stayed silent for nearly five minutes with everyone contemplating her words. The silence would have gone on even longer had Geoff, Bridgette, and Jazz not walked into the eatery at that moment.

"Woah, dudes and dudettes, it is way too quiet in here" Geoff commented as he took a seat next to his best bud, DJ. He seemed a bit more himself again.

"First off, I found you guys using the security cameras. Do not up and leave like that on me ever again! Secondly, have you guys come up with any new theories as to Courtney's location?" Jazz scolded the teenagers. With all that was going on, she was truly worried about them.

"First off, little Asher here needed something to eat, actually, we all did. Sorry for scaring you, oh, and here's payment for the food" Gwen extended a pile of money toward Jazz. When the six teens made the decision to go to Casey's Corner, Gwen had collected a few dollars from each of them and made a mental note to deliver the money to Jazz before the end of the night.

"While I appreciate it, after all you guys have been through, this one's on me. I was going to get you food anyway, its hard to think on an empty stomach after all" Jazz shook her head, declining the cash. The goth gave her a very appreciative look and passed the payments back.

"Geoff, what did Lucius, the caretaker of the mansion tell you about the people who abducted Courtney?" Noah asked, changing the subject.

"Lucius said that witches took her. I was too worried about my best bro to ask questions. Look I'm sorry guys, umm maybe her PDA has something helpful on it" Geoff replied, feeling stupid for not asking questions when he had the chance.

"Geoff, like I said during the interview, don't worry about it. No one would have been thinking clearly in your situation. I already told yourself and Bridgette, now I'll inform the rest of you that Danny has brought in cast members to interview the ghosts of the mansion. We know that Lucius saw our perpetrators but other residents might have too. Bridgette, I forgot to ask earlier, do you know the passcode for Courtney's PDA?" Jazz asked, taking the device out of her pocket.

"Umm, I know that she keeps all of her passwords on her cellphone but I might be able to guess. Oh and it any of you buys tell Duncan about that, you'll regret it" the surfer girl took the PDA.

"She's too nice to threaten anyone. Basically, if any of you blab, Leshawna and I will come after you. Not to mention what Courtney herself will do to you once we find her" Gwen added.

"While she's doing that, I'll go over what we came up with. Basically we believe that the witches that Lucius was talking about are Maleficent, the Evil Queen, and possibly Ursula in her Vanessa form. This is based on the fact that they all have a large presence in Disney World" Noah stated.

"The first two are a very strong possibility and I am not going to rule out the third for the sole reason that its just plain stupid to rule out anything in Disney World. There is an elite team that Danny can call in if it is Maleficent that we are dealing with. If its just the Evil Queen and Ursula, well, we can handle them on our own. However, we can't do anything until we know who exactly we are dealing with. So, how's that PDA coming, Bridgette?" Jazz asked.

"Still working on it, wait, got it! I know this PDA was meant for work but she has to create a new password that is not Disney-related. It was too obvious once I really thought about it" Bridgette laughed, shaking her head. She then handed the PDA back to Jazz.

"Okay, I'll go through her texts, emails, and photos for anything out of the ordinary" Jazz said, not bothering to look up from the electronic device. After about ten minutes of searching and reading, Jazz asked, "Who's Scott Reisman?"

"Scott is the president of the Outdoor Expeditions Club at our school. He's a total asshole and the only reason that he got that position is because the previous president, Shawn Spara, transferred to a different high school that is closer to his new house" Gwen explained.

"I know Spara, he's a cool dude. Kind of weird, but way cool" Geoff commented.

"Odd, how so?" asked Bridgette.

"I haven't met someone as obsessed with a TV show as he is" Geoff answered.

"Don't leave us hangin' party boy, what show is it? inquired Leshawna.

"The Walking Dead. Oh, and he is boss at that zombie app game that was popular a few years ago" the party boy replied.

"O-kay, anyway, what did you ask about Scott, Jazz" Gwen asked, intrigued.

"He seems to be really pissed off at her. I know this probably has nothing to do with the current situation, but it just seems odd to me that she would be discussing school stuff on her work device. Unless there was a connection somehow" the cast member reasoned.

"Court's been trying to solve this Campus Organization meeting issue for close to a month now. I suppose that she tried to double task while she filed in for her mom today" Bridgette shrugged.

"Here we go, a reference to Jungle Cruise, this could very well be something important" Jazz announced her findings to the teenagers.

"Like, didn't Court mention once after those meetings that his cousin was a cast member here?" Katie asked the rest of her group.

"Yeah, that sounds vaguely familiar" Gwen agreed, curious.

"Yes, ladies, you're right. In one of the messages, Scott's cousin is named. He's Ray Fields, and I know him as a Jungle Cruise Skipper" Jazz confirmed. "Although Jungle Cruise is in the same land as the scene of the crime, as I mentioned earlier, I doubt the two are related. Besides no cast member would risk his or her job just to get revenge for their relatives."

"That white boy isn't exactly normal and his temper is way short, it could be a family thing" Leshawna tried to reason as she really hated Scott.

"Courtney also has a really short temper, however she's the only one in her family like that. Although, I wouldn't want to piss either of her parents off" Gwen joked.

"I would talk to Scott when you gals go back to school tomorrow. This might go way beyond a disagreement over a new organization policy, and I just want to be sure" Jazz requested. "Her emails seem to be clean and all work related. I'll look through her photos next. Oh my god, we have our proof, it really is the mistress of all evil" Jazz passed the phone around.

The photo that Jazz had wanted everyone to see was a blurry photo of an unmistakable purple and black striped horn. When the phone got to Noah, he did not pass it on, rather, he flipped to look at the other photos that were taken that night.

"We also have proof that Maleficent did not work alone. I'm sure I'm not the only one who recognizes this crown" Noah passed the phone along. Although there was only a piece of the crown in the photo, it was easily distinguishable as the crown of the Evil Queen.

The phone reached Jazz again and she took a look at the photo, officially confirming the identity of the crown. The teenagers were frightened for Courtney's sake and for their own sake, these ladies are serious villains who meant serious business. Jazz then looked through the other three photos that Courtney had taken. The next two photos appeared to be mistakes, one was of a striped wall and the other was a blurry image of the thirteen hour clock.

"I think that these two photos are mistakes but I will pass them around anyway. They could very well be clues but I can't make anything out of them" Jazz passed the phone around once more. No one could make anything out of either of the photos, that is, until the PDA reached Gwen. The goth flipped back and forth between the two for a couple of minutes and then out of nowhere, she burst into laughter.

"Very clever Courtney!" the goth said in between laughs.

"Gwen can you please explain?" Jazz asked, she was just as curious as the teenagers who sat at the table with her.

"Don't leave us in the dark" Trent added, smiling at her while putting his hand on her shoulder.

"The wallpaper is from the stretching room, which in Disneyland is a disguise for an elevator. Disney World's version didn't need an elevator but they still kept the popular pre-show. The thirteenth hour clock plus the elevator wallpaper means that they are taking her to the Tower of Terror" Gwen explained, proud of herself for figuring it out.

"I'm embarrassed that I didn't see that myself" Jazz admitted, sheepish. "Good job, Gwen, I'll notify Danny and a team will retrieve her by the time Hollywood Studios closes."

"No, I want to go to the Tower of Terror. Yea, I am frightened by what Maleficent and the Evil Queen can do but I want to help save my friend. You guys feel the same right?" Gwen asked.

"I know I do, girl" Leshawna replied.

"Yeah totally" agreed Katie.

"It's my fault that this happened. I couldn't save her once and I am not letting that happen again. I just wish I knew how she is" Bridgette chimed in, nearly in tears.

"There's a fifth photo, Bridge, and its something that you should see" Gwen swiped to the photo and placed the PDA into her friend's outstretched hand.

"Oh Court…" Bridgette placed her hand over her mouth, tearing up. The fifth and last photo was a selfie. It was just of Courtney's face and it was a mess. Her hair was disheveled and she had a small gash on her forehead. Her lip was cut and her jawbone was bruised. She hated seeing her closest friend like this. Geoff put his arm around her and pulled her close. He then gently took the PDA from the surfer girl's hand and handed it back to Jazz.

"I'm scared shitless, dudettes, but Big D's sacrifice can't be for nothing. I'm in and so is Deej, right Deej?" Geoff asked, his arm still holding Bridgette close.

"Y-yeah I'm in d-dude" DJ agreed. The big guy was frightened by just the mere thought of facing the villains but he knew that after what happened tonight, he couldn't just stand by again.

"Then I'm in too, man" Trent smiled at Gwen and touched her hand gently. He also knew that it was his time to pitch into the rescue effort. He also knew that helping to find Courtney would help him in the long run with Gwen.

Katie looked at Noah with big pleading eyes. After a few minutes, he sighed and shook his head. "Fine, I'll join your suicide mission."

"As much as I want to let you guys help, Noah's right, this could very well be a suicide mission. Its too dangerous for all of you, but I will call Bridgette as soon as we get her back. Now, its very late, or rather, early, so let's get you back to your cars. Girls, there's a boat waiting to take you back to the ticket and transportation center. Boys, where exactly did you park?" Jazz inquired.

"Um, I-ah, I parked at the Boardwalk because Epcot was about to close" Geoff replied, he knew that he wasn't allowed to park there as they were not staying at the hotel. However, they were in a rush after repeatedly getting lost.

"I'm assuming it was Duncan's idea because you're not supposed to park there. You were probably towed, so I'll put in a call to have your car placed next to the girls' car at the Ticket and Transportation Center" Jazz sighed, annoyed, she really was not fond of teenage boys.

"No, it's my fault. The radio said that there was heavy traffic so I gave them the option to use the monorail. However, Duncan did con the guard at the Boardwalk's gate into believing that we were guests checking in. The reason we had no proof was because we left our paperwork in our luggage, which happened to be in the trunk. I still can't believe he bought it" Noah explained.

"Do you guys know the guard's name? Never mind, I know someone who works as a manager on the DVC (AN: Disney Vacation Club) side of the resort. She can tell me who was working the gate at that time" Jazz shook head and selected a number from her very long contact list. She put the phone to her ear and took her large ring of keys from her bag. She selected the key to Casey's main entrance/exit and had everyone, including a happily full Asher, leave the eatery.

The eight teens said their goodbyes to Asher and then he went back to his hellishly haunted home. After the small dog was out of sight, the eight teens then walked up main street with Jazz following close behind. They left the park with Jazz still on the phone and they all boarded the large white ferry boat which would take them to the Ticket and Transportation Center.

"Oh shit, you guys, who's going to drive?" Gwen asked, realizing that the owner/driver of their ride has been adducted.

"I can drive, Court's let me drive her car before" Bridgette stated, looking out over the water.

"It's a good thing that her parents are away" Leshawna added.

"Mmhm, very true" agreed Katie.

"Hey Geoff, call Duncan's mom and tell her that he's staying over your place. You know how she worries dude" DJ advised his best friend. Duncan's mom always worries too much, especially when her baby boy doesn't come home. His dad, however, didn't care anymore. He was fed up with his son and did not give a damn as long as he did not have to arrest him again.

"Good call, dude, I'll do that now" Geoff pulled out his cellphone and dialed Duncan's house.

"Hey Deej, man, does Geoff know the way home or should I ask Noah to navigate again?" Trent asked, remembering the hell they went through earlier on the way to Disney World.

"Yeah, definitely ask Noah to navigate. Oh and I'm staying over Geoff's tonight so we don't have to go to my block first like we normally do, dude" DJ replied, he also had absolutely no desire to repeat what happened earlier.

"Hey man, think you can navigate for us?" Trent walked inside to find the bookworm, who true to his nickname, was reading a book.

"Yeah, sure, no problem" Noah didn't even look up.

"Deej is staying with Geoff, so we're going to my block first" Trent added.

"O-kay, whatever" Noah replied, giving a thumbs up, eyes still on his book.

Not even ten minutes later, the white ferry boat docked at the Ticket and Transportation Center. Jazz walked the eight teens to the lot that the girls had parked in. From the look on the cast member's face, it was evident that she had expected the boys' car to be waiting there as well. Phone to her ear again, Jazz stormed off in the direction of the parking lot's entrance/exit. The girls decided to wait around until the boys car found its way and so the eight teens, now alone, decided to come up with a plan to get Courtney back.

"So, the girls and I are still going to Hollywood Studios later this afternoon. Are you guys in or not?" Gwen asked, yawning. The time was starting to effect all of them in various ways.

"Yep, nothing's changed with us dudette" Geoff replied. Out of the eight of them, he was the most tired, and he had every right to be.

"Good. I was considering playing hooky today but I just remembered that I have my first final this afternoon. Unlike you guys we still have one more week of school" Gwen grimaced. The goth was jealous of the guys who were finishing school for the summer that day.

"Oh yeah, that's right! Woohoo! School's out!…almost!" Geoff fist pumped.

"Does Court have a final today, Bridge?" asked Leshawna, concerned.

"No, thank goodness. She starts finals on Monday. Gwen's final is for her specialized art elective" Bridgette clarified.

"Okay back to the plan. Guys, as soon as you get out of school, get into Geoff's Camaro and get to Hollywood Studios as soon as possible. I'll take the girls in my mustang, and no, Trent, it's not vintage like yours" Gwen joked. Trent liked to talk about the vintage mustang that he fixed up, that and the motorcycle that he is currently fixing up. Although Gwen wasn't that into cars, when Trent talked about them, that made them uncharacteristically interesting to her.

"We'll meet up at Pizza Planet in the upstairs area. Whoever gets there first grabs the table and we can finalize plans as we eat. Head straight to Pizza Planet, Jazz and Danny will be on Sunset Boulevard all day, probably. If we run into one or both of them, its all over" Gwen instructed.

Head lights shined from behind the small group and a couple of minutes later, Geoff's orange Camaro pulled up beside them. Jazz, along with the driver, another cast member with a name tag that read, Cline, got out of the car and greeted the group.

"Don't worry, Courtney's going to be fine. You'll have her back by tonight, I promise" Jazz assured the group. She knew that she had made a promise that she probably couldn't keep, and she hoped that she could pull of a miracle for them.

The group said their goodbyes and got in their respective vehicles. Thankfully, Courtney had asked Bridgette to hold her keychain for her when she was searching for her wallet in the pirates gift shop. Bridgette also had Court's wallet in her bag because her PDA was going off as she was about to put the wallet back in its normal resting place within her tote bag. Geoff pulled up alongside the Toyota Prius and motioned for Bridgette to roll down her window.

"Hey Bridge, how are you feeling? I have bottles of Five Hour Energy in my glove compartment, need one? Geoff offered, he had just a bottle himself. If Bridgette was anywhere near as drained as he was, he knew that she would need it too in order to get home safely.

"Aww, thanks Geoff, that would really help out a lot" Bridgette smiled, gratefully accepting the small, but powerful energy supplement from her sweetheart. The surfer girl could not wait for this adventure of sorts was all over so that she could formally ask the party boy on a real date.

The two cars then set off for their respective destinations. As tired as they all were, once they got to their beds, sleep was going to be in vain. The anxiety, fear, and worry filled each of them to the brim. Today was going to be a long day and they were not looking forward to any part of it, especially the part where they were going to have to face the deadliest villains in Disney history.


Author's Note: I hope that you guys enjoyed the chapter, despite the fact that its kind of a mess. So, who's excited to see a showdown with the villains in the Tower of Terror? Anyone who reviews or pms me will get a special sneak peak. I wish that I could have put a sneak peak after this author's note, but I don't have anything finished so far for the next chapter that isn't a huge spoiler. Like always, to show you guys my love, here are the facts:

"Casey's Corner originally opened as "Refreshment Corner" with the rest of the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971. From the time that it opened, the location has been sponsored by Coca-Cola. The Refreshment Corner remained essentially unchanged until May 27, 1995 when the restaurant was renamed Casey's Corner. Based on the Ernest Lawrence Thaye poem "Casey at Bat" and the Disney cartoon which took its inspiration from the poem, Casey's Corner was designed to celebrate America's pastime. As part of this new theming, Casey's Corner was decorated with vintage baseball souvenirs and photos. Furthermore, the dining location also featured small bleachers which guests could sit on while they watched classic Disney baseball cartoons. Casey's Corner remained unchanged until Spring 2014, when the restaurant was closed for refurbishment. At this time, the bleachers and movie screen were removed in order to accommodate expanded indoor seating. At this time, Casey's Corner's exterior seating was also doubled in size and new walkways were added."

"The year 1888 can be seen on Casey Corner's exterior sign. This is a reference to the year that Ernest Lawrence Thaye wrote Casey At Bat.

The scoreboard in Casey's Corner reflects the score of the baseball game just as Casey came up to bat."
