Chapter 3-Trapped+Fun in Epcot
"What're you talking about, why am I here?" Logan asked. Mystique glared dangerously at him, standing up.
"Where are we?" She asked.
"Um, Disney World, where you got us stuck yesterday?" Logan answered. Now Mystique wasn't the only one confused.
Mystique put a hand to her chin in thought, and slumped onto her bed. "Grr, not again!" She growled to herself. Logan carefully walked over and sat on her bed.
"Mystique, what's going on?" Logan asked her, not believing he was genuinely concerned.
Maybe I'm going soft. He thought to himself, then knew that wasn't it. What could it be then…?
Mystique was obviously very upset, on the verge of tears, Logan would've guessed if she were anyone else. Mystique would never let herself cry in front of others.
"You see, Wolverine…" She began, carefully wiping her eyes in case some had leaked through.
"Call me Logan." Logan said, gesturing for her to continue.
"You see, Logan…" Mystique started again. "Because I'm a shapeshifter, after many, many disguises, I began to lose memory of who I am…it's sort of like having an identity crisis to the extreme." She explained tiredly. "It's only happened once before. And that time cost me a lot."
Logan was interested. "What happened?"
Mystique sighed. "You really wanna know?" She asked. Logan nodded. "Well, it was before I was with Magneto, before Kurt, before everything you know of me today. One night I went to bed, two weeks later I find myself in Europe without any memory of what had happened. Apparently, I'd been impersonating some guy named Henry Guyrich (1) and had accidentally assassinated his boss. Boy, was I in some trouble then." Mystique chuckled. She looked down. "Well, might as well go have breakfast before the real morning rush comes." Mystique suggested, and Logan nodded. Mystique looked him up and down.
"You're kidding me! You wore those yesterday, didn't you?" Mystique asked (2). Logan tugged at his white tank-top-type shirt. He shrugged.
Mystique sighed and went into the bathroom. She came out in a black outfit, holding a pile of clothes.
"How'd you…?" Logan asked.
"Well, it's pretty simple." She smirked as threw the clothes in a drawer. "I morph into you, morph on some different clothes and take them off, make a pile, then go back to normal with a pile of clean clothes on hand!" Mystique explained, actually sanely smiling now.
"Now get dressed." Mystique ordered. Logan sighed.
He knew it'd be futile to protest, so instead he just got dressed. They took their two respective keys and left in search of the main lobby, where they guessed the restaurant type thing would be, or they could ask there.
Mystique didn't bother shifting to her blue form as Logan told her that this place was apparently mutant-friendly. Mystique had protested, saying she "doubted it", but Logan finally talked her into it.
Secretly, Logan thought she looked better blue anyway.
They finally found their way to the big building with the DISNEY'S ALLSTAR MUSIC (A/N, I had made a mistake in 2nd chapter. This was actually the hotel we stayed at –squeal of happiness-). They went inside to find a long hallway filled with various pictures of different music artists past the lobby. They continued down until their stomachs found Heaven. There was a huge food court type thing right in front of them. An attendant immediately came up to them, not even seeming to care that one of these two guests was blue.
"Hi! Welcome, do you guys have the Dining Plan?" She asked them. Logan hadn't the faintest idea. He looked over at Mystique, who seemed to be thinking.
"Er, yes, I think we do." She replied. "Under Darkholme." The woman nodded, and led them to where the food was located. Before the woman could begin explaining, Mystique said "Don't worry, I already know how the Dining Plan works." The woman sighed and bade them farewell. They went over and picked their food, and paid for it off Mystique's Dining Plan. They managed to find a seat in the extremely busy place.
Logan sat across from Mystique, sipping his coffee. "So, what do we do now?" He asked. "Uh, I don't know about you, but I sure as heck ain't staying here. Who knows how long I booked this for! We could get stuck here for two weeks!" Mystique answered, beginning her delicious-looking pancakes with strawberries on top (3). They sat silently eating for around 20 minutes. When they were both done, they were about to throw all their food away when an announcement came up.
"Disney World Guests, could you all please make your way to the lobby for an emergency meeting?" The voice rang out. Logan and Mystique looked at each other and quickly ran to get there first before the huge crowd was pressed into the big lobby. They managed to get to one of the seats beside the door, near the young man who was apparently going to be announcing the news. The huge crowd was finally there.
The man picked up a microphone and solemnly announced something that completely downed Mystique and Logan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am sure you all heard of the Hurricane Ernesto. Well, other than what scientists had believed, it was picked itself back up to Level 1 Hurricane and may possibly grow even stronger (4). There has been a message sent out that says no one may drive on the roads for three straight days, so everyone who is here will have to remain here!" He said slowly and clearly.
Logan and Mystique's jaws hit the floor.
"Th-th-three days?" Logan was dumbfounded. Trapped in Walt Disney World with Mystique for three days? "So, because we know you would not want to sped three days of your trip stuck inside your hotels, the Disney Buses will till be taking guests to the theme parks. That is all the information we have for you now." The young man concluded.
Mystique was the first to take her jaw off the floor.
"NOO!" She yelled to herself, but the buzz was so loud in the lobby, no one but Logan heard her.
"That's not fair!" Logan whined. The two sulked around for about 10 minutes while many people eventually piled into the buses taking them to different parks. They sat around, refusing to move. Finally, Mystique sighed.
"Okay, you just want to try one of the theme parks?" She asked carefully.
Logan scoffed. "Yeah, right." He turned to look outside. He felt Mystique's stare on his back. He swore there was more to those golden eyes than he thought. He turned to look at her.
She had her "Áw, Please?" face on.
He sighed. "Aw, fine! We'll try Epcot, okay?" Logan would regret saying this. He knew it.
Mystique stood up and stretched her lithe body. Logan couldn't help but notice her shirt go up a bit when she stretched, showing her toned abs.
Logan was impressed.
She looked stronger than he was. She was certainly taller. Logan chuckled. It wasn't his fault he had to hunch. All that Adamantium made it hard to lift so much weight. They walked off to the bus stop and were on the next bus to Epcot.
So here they were, Logan on the aisle seat with Mystique on window, because Logan had worried that the blue woman sitting on the aisle may make people uncomfortable. But to the two mutants' surprise, no one had cared. I suppose they were so happy in Disney World that they didn't mind sharing it with Mutants. Logan didn't care what the reason was; as long as he and Mystique were safe, he was fine.
The nicely air-conditioned bus rolled on along Disney's own highway to Epcot. He stared out the window as Mystique stared at him with those darn eyes of hers. "What's wrong?" She asked him in a faint whisper.
"Oh, nothing, other than the fact I'm going to be stuck in Epcot all day long." He mumbled.
"Oh my God, Logan. Lighten up a bit because we're here and there's no changing that, okay? I'm not that happy either, but we have to make the best of the situation!" She said back to him, rolling her eyes, although Logan couldn't notice, as her eyes were entirely yellow.
The bus kept rolling on until the huge Epcot ball came into view.
"Ooh, Logan, look!" Mystique pointed out. Some children on the bus were also excitedly whispering to each other.
Logan saw the ball.
It was huge.
They quickly pulled into a bus stop and all filed out, thanking the driver as they went past. They continued walking and heard snippets of conversations as they passed. They heard "Ernesto" mentioned several times, heard "Mutants" once or twice, and one paranoid person wondering if the Epcot ball could somehow fall off and crush them all.
"No matter what happens, we agree not to enjoy it right?" Logan suggested.
"Right." Mystique agreed. They shook on it.
They walked through a large row of huge stone slabs with millions of tiny pictures on them. Mystique giggled as she got a thought.
"What?" Logan asked. Mystique beckoned him and they snuck off to a far off one. She took out a pocketknife and carved onto the side "Mystique was here". Logan laughed and popped out one claw on his right hand and scratched in "And Logan" between Mystique and Was. They laughed and quickly took off before anyone could catch them.
----------------------------------------------------------------
" 'Spaceship Earth'? Sounds kind of tacky, don't you think?" Logan asked as they stood outside the entrance to the Epcot ball, which was the home of 'Spaceship Earth'.
"Oh, who cares? We need to blow off time anyway." Mystique shrugged, and they went inside.
They were seated in seats and were soon trudging along through the dark. Soon, they slowed went up a hill into a dark tunnel with many tiny lights representing stars on the walls.
"Welcome aboard Spaceship Earth. This slow-moving ride will take you through the dawn of recorded history, to the promises of tomorrow." A computerized female voice announced. (A/N-I can't remember anything about what was said on this ride, so I shall skip till they got off.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Logan and Mystique stepped outside into the Florida heat, their eyes still adjusting to the brightness outside.
"Wow, those dolls really creeped me out." Logan admitted as they walked into a completely new plaza. "I know." Mystique agreed, nodding. " That part on mutants was very well done though. They were not calling us 'dangerous creatures' or any of that garbage." Mystique said.
"Well, now I can tell 'Ro some things about history." Logan grinned. "Well, where to now?"
Mystique pointed to a building that looked to be called "Innoventions-Road to Tomorrow."
----------------------------------------------------------------
They came out half an hour later, with smiles on their faces. Logan had managed to bust the TV tube, a feat thought impossible by the Disney people. They had had a fun time, and Mystique had even beat some kid punks at some game where you have a robot race by using your feet…it was hard to explain. They continued walking until they saw the fastest thing they'd ever seen: Disney World Test Track.
They watched as a car zipped past so fast they hardly knew it had gone by.
"Ooh, let's go on there!" Mystique cried.
"No argument here!" Logan cheered, and they quickly went in line for the sweet ride.
10 minutes later, the only thing anyone waiting outside was two voices, one male, on female, screaming this:
"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, Logan and Mystique were exploring the different countries. They'd stopped in a place called "Bistro Du Paris" (5) for lunch, and were on their way again. They had somehow gotten conned into taking pictures with Aladdin's Princess Jasmine.
"How did that just happen?" Mystique asked Logan as they walked through Morocco.
"I don't know, but she was hot." Logan sighed. Mystique playfully slapped him on the head.
"Oh, shut up you." She giggled as he fell backwards into a fountain.
They continued walking through the many countries and eventually decided on dinner in Italy (6). They finished their dinner happily and had a bit of a conversation over what to do tomorrow.
"Oh, God." Mystique said.
"What?" Logan asked.
"We broke our promise. We're getting into it!" She cried, wiping her mouth.
"Oh well. Can't win 'em all." Logan shrugged. They went outside and were caught in the middle of a fireworks extravaganza. (Another Author's Note- I did not get to see IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, so I cannot describe it to you…:( wish I could.)
On their way home on the bus to the hotel, they argued over what Epcot could mean.
"I'm telling you, it means Ecological Plaza for the Coming Of Tomorrow!" Logan laughed as he retorted.
"Oh, come on, Logan!" Mystique scoffed. "That doesn't even make sense!"
As they finally reached the hotel and were in their respective beds, they decided that Epcot meant "Every Person Comes Out Tired." (7)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Well, that's a much longer chapter! Does that satisfy you, Frankie? Hope it does. Heres all the answer to the numbers:
(1)-ooh X2 Anyone?
(2)-Ahh, my sister's always on my butt about this sort of thing.
(3)-I had this for breakfast one of the days in Disney World. One of the best things EVER!
(4)- We were there when Ernesto was coming. Lucky for us though, it only stayed down as a tropical storm. However in this, it stays a hurricane, so they are ONLY safe if in the cozy confines of Walt Disney World because Mickey's Magic shall ward off any danger! Lol.
(5)-Actual name of a restaurant in the France Pavillion in Epcot. Don't ask me why I remember this particular restaurant's name, I just do.
(6)- We had dinner at the Italian restaurant on our last night. Very good food there.
(7)- Epcot actually means Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow, in case you were wondering. This quote on here was taken from a comment on a YouTube video of Spaceship Earth.
Well, that's another chappy done! Most of these are based on my personal experiences in Disney World!
