.:Adventureland - Part 2:.


"This is my family. It's little and broken, but still good. Yeah...still good."

~ Lilo and Stitch


The Cullens ended up at the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost. They'd never seen so much Indiana Jones memorabilia before, and Emmett dragged them all in upon seeing it. There was so much to look at, so many options to choose from, that nobody knew where to start.

Well, okay, Nessie knew exactly where to start once she saw all the toys.

Surrounded by her parents, grandparents, and Jacob, Nessie tested out practically all the fun items in the shop — cuddly stuffed animals, squirming plastic snakes, bouncy light-up balls, and so on — until she came to the costume section. A wide smile spread across her face as she spotted it: the soft, golden-brown Indiana Jones Adventure belt, with emerald encrusted gems (to make it girlie). She decided that this was what she wanted to add to her unusual Disney outfit. The adults couldn't help but laugh fondly as the princess strapped it around her waist, over her yellow Belle dress. It hung lopsided on her hips, but surprisingly, in an odd way, it looked sort of good there, like it fit perfectly.

"Clearly, she gets her taste from her mother," Jacob teased, as they waited for Edward to pay for it.

Bella only shrugged in response. "There's nothing wrong with my taste, so that's a compliment, right?"

"Sure."

Bella hit Jacob playfully on the arm.

"I just love their theatrical terminology," Edward said as he rejoined them. "When I had to sign the credit card receipt they asked for my 'autograph'. Made me feel special."

"You are special, Daddy," Nessie said.

"Awww." Esme and Bella both reached to hug the little girl at the same time. Edward's face softened as he smiled at his daughter.

"Ah, I've just been reminded why we spoil her so much," Carlisle chuckled to Jacob.

OoOoOoO

On the other side of the store, Rosalie and Alice were looking at the themed jewelry when Emmett came over to them.

"Hey, Rose, check this out."

The sisters turned to see Emmett wearing an Indiana Jones hat, an explorer's jacket, a utility belt, and, to top it off, he was holding a whip. Jasper was next to him in a similar—though darker—getup, with a red bandana around his neck.

Emmett smirked at Rose seductively and said, "Guess what we're playing when we get home?" He whipped the floor for emphasis.

"Emmett Cullen, this is Disneyland!" Alice chastised, pushing him away from a grinning Rosalie and back toward the clothing and props section of the store.

"What did I do? I didn't do anything wrong. Wait! At least get a picture of me and Jazz."

"Fine. But only because Jazz looks sexy!"

Emmett glowered at her for the double standard.

After a few poses from the brothers—and a few more when Nessie jumped in to show off her cool new belt that symbolized her journey through Adventureland—the Cullens were off to tour the rivers of Africa in The Jungle Cruise. Along the river, they encountered dangerous alligators, bathing elephants, hippos, rhinos (or fat unicorns), monkeys that had trashed a camp, a lion's den, an African Witch Doctor, and then, according to their guide, they searched for a butterfly that ranged from one-foot to a whopping twelve inches! (Or was it the other way around?)

Nessie's favorite part was the tigers, especially when their guide said, "These tigers can jump over 20 feet! But don't worry, we're only 10 feet away—they'll jump right over us."

At the end of the journey, they even got to see the backside of a waterfall!

Yes, it was an amazing trip.

All too soon, as far as Nessie was concerned, they started pulling back into the dock. Their guide bid them farewell in the famous Jungle Cruise Skipper fashion.

"If you enjoyed yourselves my name is Daniel and this has been the world famous Jungle Cruise," he said. "If you didn't, my name is Mike and this has been Space Mountain. Now, get off my boat.

"Oh wait, Disney manners: Have a magical day! ... Now get off my boat!"

Once off, Nessie gasped when she saw the Genie from Aladdin in the Aladdin and Jasmine Oasis, giving autographs and taking pictures. A photo-op with the Cullens came seconds later.

And then, before they knew it, they were in an enchanted Tiki Room, singing:

In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room
All the birds sing words and the flowers croon
In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room!

The Cullens were stretched out along a bench in the back of the hut. Birds, flowers, and tiki men statues all sang, cracked jokes, and sang some more. The Cullens even sang along (not wanting to upset the Tiki Gods, of course).

"And now that you're all standing..." one bird said at the end of the show, "we have a wonderful magic trick for you."

"Yea. A wonderful trick."

"Ev'rybody, face the door."

"And the trick is, we're gonna make you all...disappear!"

The audience laughed as they began filing out of the Tiki Room.

"That was the end of Adventureland," Bella said. The Cullens found themselves back in front of the castle by the "Friends" statue.

"Where to next?"

"Oh!" Nessie exclaimed, putting her fingers to her temple and staring off into space. "I'm using the gift the god Mara gave me..."

"Ah, so what do you observe in our future?" Carlisle asked.

"I foresee...the future in our future!"

OoOoOoO

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the decision that something else is more important than fear."

A short chapter, finishing up Adventureland. If it was me, I'd be going on Indiana Jones ten more times. lol
