Hello! I really don't have much to say...ENJOY!

Chapter 5: A Disney Dream
Willa P.O.V.
I wake up suddenly. I look around the room. Pitch black.
After a little while, my eyes adjusted. I could see Charlene sleeping. She was next to me, turned the other way. On the other end of the room, Jess is sleeping in her bed. There should be someone else in her bed…
Where's Amanda?
I take a look at the clock. 3:45, it says.
What? Amanda left the room at two to go to the bathroom. Does it really take an hour and forty five minutes?
This is weird. I need to go investigate.
I get out of bed and my fuzzy some slippers on. Then I find my robe (also fuzzy) and grab my room key.
I open the door and feel that Disney feeling I get every time I step out of a Disney hotel room. It's full of wonder and excitement of where we are going to go next. Only this time, what I am going to explore may not be as happy as the park.
I push the feeling away. I have to focus, I say to myself. I can't miss anything.
Instead of cast members, stewards and servers bustling around the ship, trying to get everything perfect for the next day, there's no one here. No one. That's strange, too.
Before I know it, I'm at the entrance area. This is where the cast members (usually with a character or two) greet the guests in an overly-excited fashion. I love it. It's so…cheerful.
Then, I hear something not so cheerful. Is that…crying?
Yes. Crying. Why the heck would someone be crying on the cruise?
I explore more and weave through the couches, sofas, and chairs. I see a white, crumpeled paper on the ground. I think it's torn, because all I could see was half of the words. It read:
OU
OF
ORD
It's probably nothing. I put it in my robe pocket and keep on walking. I see a shape. Hunched over and crying.
I recognize that shape. That's Finn.
Whenever I see someone sad, I kick into what I call mother-mode. Well, I guess you can say I kicked into full mother-mode and ran over to Finn.
"Honey, what's wrong?" He looked up at me. Distress filled his eyes.
"They have her, Willa," he said, even more tears filling his eyes. "They have her, and I didn't even try to stop them." He put his head in his hands and let out a deep, sad breath.
"Oh, sweetie…" I sat net to him and hugged him. Finn didn't need to explain who "her" was. He knew I knew.
I tried to act as strong as I could. But inside, I was torn between being overcome with sadness or fear and raging at the Overtakers for taking her.
Finn looked up and stared at the couch in front of us.
"Now? Out of all times?" Finn said to the floor.
"You choose now?" I say to it.
We stay silent for a moment, trying to understand the situation.
"So you think we may have to fight here?" I asked.
"No. We are not going to fight here. We are going to end it here. I am sick of these people just plain ruining my day. And your's. And everyone else's."
I am definitely afraid of the concept, I'll admit that. Ending it sounds scary.
What the heck am I saying? Everything I've done so far with these guys was scary. And did we all make it out alive? Pretty much.
Because I'll never get a yes in this business, since nothing is safe, I will go with pretty much. It's the closest to a yes.
I stand up. He does too.
"Okay. We will end it here." I reassure him. I continue.
"And we will find her."
I take his hand. He takes mine. We both know that we have to the others. We both know we will have to split up. But now, I'm enjoying this little bit of togetherness.
Yay! My favorite friendship pairing would have to be Filla. I love their brother/sister and occasional /mother/son relationship. It's so fluffy…in a non-romantic way.
Please review!
