Chapter 9
A Change in the Making
As the eight people passed through the Magic Kingdom, they put together time to see shows and when to get going to the shows.
"Well, Anna needs to see the parade-"
"Don't forget the-"
"I won't forget, Elizabeth. Anyway, we need to see the fireworks show today as well, so what do we see when?" Mrs. Jones ran through the times guide to find out when to do the shows.
"Wishes will go off around nine, so we'll be able to catch it," Elizabeth eagerly strode into Fantasyland, a part of the Magic Kingdom.
"We'll keep planning, but first we need to do Peter Pan," Mrs. Jones pointed out the ride as she spoke.
"Exactly why are we going to that ride?" Anna asked a little confused at the choice of ride.
"You see, the Peter Pan ride was the first one we ever did in Disneyworld, so we come to this ride first every time to remember the first ride," Elizabeth explained to Anna.
"Ok, thanks for telling me," Anna thanked Elizabeth. Elizabeth smiled sweetly at Anna. Wow, she's really nice, she's a good friend, Anna thought to herself.
"Mrs. Jones, I ride with you first, right?" Elizabeth tried refreshing her memory.
"Yes, dear, you and me, then you and Mr. Jones," Mrs. Jones nodded in agreement while speaking.
"Thank you for the reminder. Come on, we've got to hurry before the rush comes in," Elizabeth ran for the line, standing front of it and waving her hands.
"We're coming, Elizabeth," Katrina gave an annoyed sigh and walked up to Elizabeth and waited for the others. The others came up right behind Katrina and assumed their positions in the line. They past the rest of the line with ease and got on.
"Ok, now that we're done with Peter Pan, let's go to Space Mountain," Katrina nearly begged to do Space Mountain.
"You guys do that, I'll be outside the ride," Elizabeth quickly chimed, trying to get out of the ride.
"I'm in, what is it? Sounds fun," Anna asked, wanting to know.
"Oh, it's not a rollercoaster, but it is fun," Katrina replied, looking at both Anna and Elizabeth. She won't be chicken for long, Katrina planned in her mind.
"Ok, I'll come along, how about you, Elizabeth?" Anna asked Elizabeth. Elizabeth felt that she wanted to go on, since it wasn't a coaster.
"I'll come, just you watch," Elizabeth replied cheerily to avoid discrimination from Anna and her stepsister.
"Let's hurry, it'll get crowded pretty fast," Katrina commented, going toward Tommorowland.
"This way, Anna, you too, Nanna," Elizabeth called over her shoulder following Katrina to Space Mountain. As Anna ran toward them, Mr. and Mrs. Jones went into a mildly shocked state.
"She hasn't called people like that in a long, long time, has she?" Anna's grandma asked, already knowing the answer.
"Not since the incident happened, she's called no one either mom, dad, or any other name except either 'Mr.' or 'Mrs.'," Mr. Jones replied, losing shock.
"I thought so. I believe she's started changing and trusting more people, but we'll just wait and see," Anna's grandma responded, leading Mr. and Mrs. Jones to the waiting kids.
