Chapter 3: Finding Goals

"I'm really excited about this," Mel giggled climbing into the limo that was picking her and Adam up from the airport. "I brought my sketch pad, I have this amazing princess collection idea!"

"I'm glad," He smiled and kissed her. "I didn't think you'd be so excited, I mean Disney's kind of,"

"What?" She looked at him, "Oh, you thought I would think its trashy?" He nodded, "I mean, the whole Disney wedding thing is a little sad, but the reason behind it is nice, and The Grand Floridian is nicer than most hotels in New York."

"True," Adam nodded and laughed, "I can't wait until you meet Sherry, she's awesome, her boyfriend is kind of an asshole, or so I hear, I've never actually met the guy, but you'll like her."

"Adam," Mel looked at him, "I um, I don't really know how to put this," He looked at her, "Look, I know we um, see each other on a casual basis," She sighed, "But what does this trip mean?"

"Mel," He said, "Come on, we're both too busy to start a real relationship, we decided that a while ago."

"Yeah," She said, "But now the season's over."

"And you're going to be spending the whole summer working on your line for fashion week," He pointed out, pulling away. She sighed.

"Look, I need to know where this is going," She explained, "I like you, I have a good time when I'm with you, but I haven't been with anyone else in quite a while Adam."

"You haven't?" He swallowed. She shook her head, "Oh, um, yeah."

"Don't worry," She rolled her eyes, "I know you have been, I don't care about that, yet." He smiled. "I just, thought that this trip might be a new start for us. Think about it, that's all I'm asking."

Julie was in her element, sending people every which way in the chapel, getting things ready for the wedding, which was in two days. As she walked out a few hours later she smiled seeing Adam Banks standing outside.

"I was sent to fetch you," He smiled, she ran and gave him a hug. "They thought that would be your reaction."

"We're so proud of you Adam!" She said, "I mean, you did so well this season."

"And you," he said, "Putting a fairy tale wedding together in a month?"

"It's amazing," she said, "Such a rush. So, where are we going?"

"Magic Kingdom," He said cautiously. "Um, we wanted to hit some of the rides."

"Oh," she said, "OK, just, not the Haunted Mansion."

"Right," he laughed, "Because you can't do scary."

"Exactly." She said.

Later they walked around Magic Kingdom, having met up with Ken, Goldberg and Russ. She was having more fun then she was expecting to, until Julie stopped short when she saw Portman across the road, hand in hand with a small brunette in a mini skirt and halter top.

"Come on Catlady," Goldberg said, "We'll go this way." He pulled her. She shook her head.

"No," she said, "I need to do it eventually, might as well be now." She took a deep breath and walked across the street. "Hi," she managed to say.

"Julie," he stared, she was more beautiful than he would have thought, she was wearing her usual summer uniform, a pair of baggy jean shorts and a thick strapped white tank, her hair in a tight ponytail. "I, um, hi," Maya looked at him.

"I'm Maya," she extended her hand, "I've heard a lot about you."

"M-Maya?" Julie stuttered, automatically shaking her hand. "Yeah, um I've heard about you too." She stared at him, unable to believe it.

"I'll let you two catch up," Maya said quietly and kissed him. Julie stared at the ground, he looked up at the sky quietly.

"When did you start seeing her again?" Julie finally managed to squeak out.

"Um, about two months ago I guess," he said. "It just sort of happened."

"Right," she nodded, "Of course. Um so that's not just some other girl named Maya right, that's Maya, who,"

"Yeah," he said, not making her fill in, "It is. She's great," he said, "So, how are you?"

"I'm good," she said quietly, "I moved out of my parents." She was trying to come up with some kind of news equivalent to what she had just seen and realized she had just given him the lamest possible news.

"That's um," he said, "that's good. You look great."

"Thanks, you too," she sighed. This was excruciating. "How was your senior year?"

"Really good," he said, "I mean, no one can believe that I actually made it through. I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did if it weren't for you." She blushed. "It's true, you pushed me." He smiled, which gave her leave to give him a small one.

"I've missed you," they both said at the same time, and then just stared at each other, they laughed breaking the tension.

"Connie thinks we could be friends again," Julie smiled.

"Yeah, she uh, mentioned that to me too," He said, "Do you think?"

"I'm not sure," she said quietly. "I mean, a lot's happened between us."

"Yeah," he said. "I guess. I should go find Maya," He said. "She um, wanted to go on Haunted Mansion, and I said no, so, she probably headed over there." He looked down. Julie smiled triumphantly, it wasn't just her, he couldn't go near it either.

Aimee jogged over to the group, "Hi guys," They waved. She was followed closely by her best friend Sherry. Which caused Adam to stand up and immediately walk over. Sherry's blue eyes sparkled seeing him again.

"Hey Aimee," He smiled and hugged her, "Congratulations."

"You didn't come over here to see me," She rolled her eyes. "See you two later."

"Wanna walk?" Sherry pointed. He laughed and nodded. "You got my email right?"

"Yeah," He laughed. "Thanks, I appreciate it." She smiled. "So how are you?"

"OK," She said softly, "I miss you, talking to you. Though I've taken to actually reading supermarket tabloids to keep track of your love life."

"It's mostly exaggerated," He mumbled.

"Oh but just mostly," She laughed. "You are quite the playboy Adam."

"Just trying to find the right girl," He said softly. She nodded. "How's Derek?"

"He's great," She sighed, "We're, about the same to be honest. You'll actually meet him."

"Can't wait," Adam grumbled. Sherry sighed. "I'm sorry, that was inappropriate of me."

"Adam!" Melissa ran over, "I was looking all over," She stopped, "Oh my God, you must be Sherry!"

"Yeah," Adam said, "Um Sherry, this is Mel."

"Melissa Rubens, yeah," Sherry said, "You're winter showing was unreal, I bought a pea coat again because of it, and I live in Florida!" Melissa shook her hand.

"That's sweet," Mel said, "Adam, you didn't mention how adorable she was!"

"And you didn't mention you were bringing someone!" Sherry hit him trying to hide her disappointment.

"Uh yeah," Adam mumbled, "Must have uh, slipped my mind."

"Well, Derek's break is coming up, I have to eat lunch with him," Sherry said and pointed, "There's this super slutty Cinderella going after him, I have to keep my eye on him."

"Sure," Adam nodded and kissed her on the cheek.

"Nice meeting you Mel," Sherry nodded, and then she mouthed, "Keeper," to Adam who laughed.

"You know what I really want to do?" Melissa said, sliding her arm through Adam's.

"What?" He said.

"I'm dying to head over to Adventure Land and go to Swiss Family Tree House!" She squealed, "It's like my favorite!" He sighed, "Then maybe we can do The Country Bears!" Adam suppressed a groan.

"And we can hit the 360 Canada movie while we're in Epcot too," He nodded, keeping the sarcasm out of his voice.

Julie walked over and plopped on the chair. "Didn't go so well huh?" Kenny looked at her.

"He's with Maya," She grumbled.

"Maya?" Ken looked at her, "Virgin Maya?"

"She's no virgin," Julie shook her head.

"No, but he was before her," Goldberg pointed out. Julie glared at him. "Sorry. You just missed Sherry."

"I've seen Sherry all week," Julie shrugged. "We're quite the bitter pair, she and I." Julie sighed, "I can't believe he brought her here."

"Take it easy Cat," Averman said, "You will be happy to know that we have all decided that once again we will be taking on a goal. Goldberg, Russ and I, here," He stated, "Will reinstate our old quest."

"You're going to eat all the food in the park again?" Ken raised his eyebrows.

"We are," Russ said, "With the added bonus of now being 23 and getting to wash it down with booze, at least at Epcot and MGM, excuse me Disney Hollywood Studios." Julie laughed.

"What about you Kenny?" Luis teased, "Gonna relive the time you puked more than the Catlady freshman year of Eden Hall?"

"No," He shook his head, "Every ride in the Magic Kingdom though."

"Very cool," Julie nodded approvingly. "Hey here comes the happy family!" She waved as Connie and Guy walked over wheeling a very fidgety Eric in a stroller. Eric was decked out in the finery of a little kid on his first trip, name embroidered on ears, Mickey Mouse dressed as a pirate tee shirt and that excited awed expression that little kids always wear on their first trip down Main Street USA.

"Julie!" Eric bounced, "Mickey," He pointed to himself.

"Yeah," Julie laughed, "Hey baby," She kissed him on the cheek. He wiped it off promptly. She hugged Connie. "He's here with Maya, they're together, I'm going to slit my wrists." She whispered; Connie pulled back and she nodded.

"Hi Julie, Connie, Guy," Sherry walked over, she put her arm around Aimee's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Adam brought that designer, Derek's got a new plaything, I'm going to slit my wrists."
