.:Tomorrowland - Part 3:.


Turk: What'cha gonna call it?

Kala: I think I'll call HIM...Tarzan.

Turk: Tarzan? ... Well, okay. He's your baby. :/

~Tarzan xD


After their small detour into Innoventions, the Cullens finally arrived at Autopia. Everyone took separate cars so that they could all drive. Someone had to go with Nessie, though, because she was too small to go alone. Esme, not caring much if she drove or not, went with her granddaughter.

"If anyone is going to teach you how to drive, it is going to be me," Esme told her as they started moving. As she said it, she also glanced accusingly at the rest of the family, who were still on the dock. Esme and Nessie were passing right by them.

"We're amazing drivers," Edward said, smiling crookedly.

"The faster the better, that's our motto," Alice trilled.

The last thing they heard was Esme, muttering, "My point exactly."

As the rest of the Cullens were assigned their cars, one-by-one, they both laughed and frowned when they got a vehicle type or a color they didn't want. Edward wanted Sparky, the sports car; but he ended up with Dusty, an off-road style car. And while Emmett wanted Dusty, he ended up with Suzy, the Volkswagen Beetle. Alice was the only one, to her obvious delight, who got what she wanted—Sparky in the color yellow. The others think she somehow planned it. That sneaky Alice.

Autopia was a one of the more peaceful attractions at Disneyland. Everyone drove along the track at different paces, but all admired the scenery as they went. Nessie kept accidentally running the wheels into the track's bumper. Esme assured her she'd get better. And she did.

A couple cars behind them, Emmett spotted a sign telling drivers not to rear-end the car in front of them. He smiled mischievously.

Bella was moseying along the track, happy as can be. In front of her Nessie was concentrating on not hitting the guide rail, so she was slowed down quite a bit; Bella had to lift her foot off the gas pedal as a result, and then, out of nowhere, something hit the back of her car and jolted her forward.

"Emmett!" she growled when she turned around and saw him in hysterics.

"Hahahaha—oomph!"

Emmett's cackling was cut off as something rammed into him, and, because he was already doubled over, his head smacked into the steering wheel. He glared over his shoulder. Edward was grinning, acting smug in his bigger car. Behind them, Alice, Carlisle, and Jasper enjoyed the entertainment.

However, at the very back of the Cullen line-up, a steaming Rosalie was spewing out hate for the person in front of her.

Jacob was inching down the track at a purposely snail-like pace in his Suzy, perfectly at ease. "You forced me to trade spots with you so you got the sports car, Blondie. Don't tell me you regret it?"

"If you don't start moving faster, I will shave you bald, mutt. In wolf form!"

Jacob didn't speed up one bit. He kept his frustratingly slow pace, crawling down the track. Rosalie let her foot off the pedal, waited a few moments, then rammed into him at full speed. She did it a second time. A third. A fourth. But Jacob wasn't phased; instead, in retaliation, he lifted his foot off the pedal completely and came to a dead stop in the middle of the road. He smiled cheerfully over his shoulder at the glowering blonde, who had her foot down on the pedal as far as it would go and still couldn't go anywhere.

Jacob was plotting his next move when a voice yelled from behind them. "Hey, what's the hold up?"

Rosalie smiled sweetly at the line forming behind her and leaned to the side so they could see the culprit. She pointed at Jacob accusingly. All the dads in the cars behind them started shouting at the werewolf.

"Come on, man, go down the road!"

"Get moving!"

Jacob laughed as he took off down the track again. "It seems not even Disneyland can stop road rage."

"Or stupidity," Rosalie shot back at him under her breath.

They made it back to the start without any further incidents.

"There you guys are." Emmett waved at them as the two arrived back into the station. "We were wondering what was taking so long." His words only made Rosalie glare at him. "What's the look for? I know the cars aren't speedsters, but I kind of grew fond of my Suzy."

Rosalie rolled her eyes. "The cars would have been perfectly fine if some of them had better drivers."

Bella and Nessie stared suspiciously at Jacob when he started snickering.

"Then again," Rose's face turned inquisitive, "if I had the engine turbocharged..." She was picturing how the scenario would have been one hundred times better if she could have stepped on the gas pedal and sent Jacob flying.

"I can see those plotting thoughts in your head, and, babe, you better save your sexy auto talk for when we're back home. My self control isn't as tamed as many think."

Edward and Bella quickly pushed Nessie toward the Finding Nemo Submarines when her face twisted in confusion over her uncle's words. They gave Emmett a warning look. Not to mention they didn't think Emmett had any self control whatsoever.

"What do you know about turbocharging an engine." Jacob scoffed at the idea of vampire Barbie knowing anything about cars, apart from names and colors and how to drive one.

"Well, someone has to keep our cars running and looking the way they do," Jasper said.

"And they run a hundred times better than they normally would if we just kept them the way they are when we buy them," Alice said, her eyes gleaming as they always did when thinking of her beloved Porsche.

It took a moment for that to sink into Jacob's head. "Wait a minute. She works on cars?" he blurted, completely shocked. There was no way she could possibly have any interest in that kind of stuff.

"Obviously." Rosalie glared at him (she always did). "What do you think I'm doing every time I spend hours in the garage trying to get away from you? Primping my hair?"

"Well..." Jacob shrugged, his tone expressing that it wasn't far off the marker.

"Rosalie's always had a passion for cars," Esme said, "and engineering. Our cars are the way they are because of her masterful handiwork."

Edward agreed, adding, "For which I am grateful." As much as he loved his cars and enjoyed giving them a good tune up, the more intricate possibilities he didn't find all that interesting.

"That's right. My Rose knows what a man likes." Emmett smirked, clearly proud.

Jacob, for his part, was just...stunned. His thing was cars.

Distracted by his thoughts, Jacob didn't see the trashcan in his path. He ran right into it.

"Ah! Oops!"

"Hey, watch where you're going, Bigfoot."

Jacob paused, doing a double take.

The trashcan looked normal enough. Except that, unlike the other trashcans in the area, this one was on wheels, he saw, and it was turning away from him, rolling away.

"Did that... Did that trashcan just talk to me?"

The trashcan suddenly spun back around to face him.

"You're darn right I was talking to you. Do you see anyone else here who looks like a giant? I never thought I'd see someone who was SO big they couldn't hide behind the Matterhorn, but you just proved me wrong, pal."

Behind him, Jacob could hear the Cullens snickering (some were snickering, some were laughing in astonishment that there was, indeed, a talking trashcan).

"Now, if you'd excuse me, I have to get out of here before someone decides to stuff their garbage down my throat." A few feet further, and the trashcan paused for some reason. Then, suddenly, it yelled, "Gah!" Someone had just dumped their tray of food into it. The poor person was startled when the trashcan yelled at them, and was even more startled when they started being chased by it. A crowd of people stopped to stare, laughing and video-taping it. The Cullens watched with the same amusement.

"Okay, I'm officially paranoid of trashcans here," Jacob said, shaking his head. "And benches."

"Benches?"

"Yeah. What if you sit on one, completely innocent, and it just up and walks away with you still on it?"

Nessie giggled.

OoOoOoO

"Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage," Alice read. There was a big yellow sign hanging above the entrance of the line, decorated in sea creatures.

"How many times does Nemo have to be found?" Jasper murmured.

"Apparently, a lot." Alice smiled, taking his hand and leading him and the rest of the family into the line.

The queue wound around under the monorail, taking them mazing through coral reefs and sea anemones (a glimpse of what was to come). There was a longer wait for this ride than the other attractions, as the submarines were a lot slower to dock and load than the faster rides, but finally the Cullens made it, filing down the steep, narrow, circular staircase and into the sub. It was exciting just being in the submarine, for no one in the family had been in one before and, although they knew the inside of a real submarine, one used for more than just an attraction, probably didn't just have two aisles of seats, it was still interesting.

Well, except to Jacob, apparently.

"There's nothing spectacular under here," Jacob said as he stared out his porthole into the water.

Bella rolled her eyes. "The ride hasn't even started yet. All you see is a wall."

"Jake's being difficult again," Nessie tattled to Esme, making both Esme and Jacob smirk.

Once all the other passengers were aboard the submarine, the captain gave out a few orders and then they were diving deeper into the water. All they could see at first was bubbles. When their view cleared, they were graced with all the bright, wonderful, exotic colors of the Reef, with fish, coral, and other underwater plants (which the older Cullens seemed to somehow know the names of, like there was nothing at least one of them hasn't studied) that always looked they were dancing, as well as some scuba divers.

Soon they were passing the Lost City—an ancient city with old stone columns and blocks and pretty designs that were all washed up.

Continuing on through the reef, to all the children's delight, they encountered familiar characters—Nemo, Marlin, Dory, the sea turtles, and Bruce the shark all made an appearance. Bruce expressed a liking for "canned food" as the submarine glided by.

"Fish are friends, not food," Nessie quoted automatically when she saw the shark.

Emmett smirked down the aisle at his family. "Anyone else think Bruce would make a good Cullen?"

"He does have the family motto down, in his own sense," Edward grinned.

"Let's adopt him!"

Carlisle chuckled. "Of course, because sharks are what vampires have as pets."

Nessie pouted. "I think it would be cool."

"I'm sure Charlie would take that well," Bella said. "Your first pet being a shark..."

"'Whatever happened to good ol' fashioned goldfish?'" Jacob mocked. The others laughed, imagining poor Charlie trying to see the sense of that one.

Cruising along, the sub followed Marlin and Dory, who had lost Nemo again. On their search, they traveled into suspiciously darker waters. The only things that could be seen now were some small blue lights floating out there in the water, until suddenly there was a bright flash, revealing a very scary looking creature that was all mouth and teeth! Everyone except for the vampires leaned back instinctually to get away from it.

Jacob grimaced when the others started snickering at him. "Jeez, don't tell me it didn't shock any of you," he muttered. And his face had been pressed up to the window, trying to see what those damn blue lights were.

"It did, dear, don't worry," Esme assured. "Our species tends to freeze up and tense, rather than jump back when startled."

"So we don't look as funny as you." Alice and Bella laughed, earning both of them a little shove from the werewolf.

Next, they encountered a large swarm of jellyfish, which Marlin was nervous about of course. Luckily, they passed it without incident.

The submarine finally reached the undersea volcano—its destination—and there was Nemo, who had taken a ride along the EAC! It was a lot easier finding him this time around, Nessie thought, as the sub glided safely back to the reef. A nice ending for all. They even got to see a group of whales swimming along on their way back to the dock.

But then Nemo commented about a whale eating a "yellow whale"... While that sank into the Cullens' heads, the view of the reef disappeared into blue nothingness. The submarine began to announce the emergency as Emmett said, "Eaten by a whale. My day's complete."

"Oh no, how are we gonna get out?" Nessie asked, her round eyes wide.

"Don't worry, once it tastes Blondie it'll throw us up."

"Not if it dies first, which, once it tastes you, is very likely to happen."

"That's enough, both of you," Esme sighed.

Fortunately, nobody was thrown up, and the whale did not die... Instead, the whale sneezed (probably allergic to the supernatural) and in a blast of blue bubbles the submarine and its passengers were freed.

Before surfacing, Dory said goodbye (in whale) to the big "yellow whale", and Nessie said goodbye back when the others told her to say bye to her fish friends. When she was done, she turned away from the porthole and told her family, "I don't think she heard me. But I guess it doesn't matter, since she'll forget about us in a few seconds anyway." Everyone chuckled.

When they were off the ride, the Cullens found themselves back at the Matterhorn, and they realized, with a bit of surprise, that they had completed their journey around the park. They took a moment to think about that, and then Edward spoke.

"There's only one thing left to do now."

"Do it all again!" Nessie gleefully cried, throwing her hands up in the air excitedly as she rushed toward the Matterhorn. The others followed with big smiles on their faces.

OoOoOoO

It was mid afternoon, but the family had a good amount of time before the fireworks started. They were off re-living some of their favorite attractions. At one point, they all split up, setting a time and place to meet up.

Renesmee, dragging along Edward, Bella, and Jacob, rode the Matterhorn a good six times before she wanted to head someplace else. Carlisle and Esme wandered off together toward New Orleans Square—Esme really liked the architecture of the attractions there. Alice and Jasper had gone off to ride Indiana Jones again (Alice magically winding up in the driver's seat yet again), while Emmett was determined to beat Rosalie at the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters (it took four rides before he did, and then he wondered if Rose went easy on him just so they could go ride Space Mountain). And when the family joined up again, meeting Emmett and Rosalie at Space Mountain, the fun felt endless.

Even waiting in lines was entertaining, for they had realized that their conversations were always being listened to by other guests, and they always had moments when they were the ones listening to other people talk—sometimes there was just nothing else to do in line. So the Cullens decided to play a little game with that. They started talking with each other about random, made-up incidents (some absolutely senseless, others horrific and gory about the attractions they were in line for) in a very matter-of-fact way. It wasn't long before the queue got quiet and everyone was trying to hear what they were saying. Right before they got on the ride, Edward would end with, "but that was last year. I'm sure they fixed it by now..."

Inwardly, the Cullens were laughing hysterically at some of the priceless reactions they got.

That's what they were currently doing in line for Big Thunder Mountain. In the middle of their fun, however, Alice suddenly froze, stiffened. Before anyone could question her, a slight glowing caught their eyes—everything around them was slowly brightening. Looking up at the sky with sudden panic, the family realized that the sun was coming out. And they were stuck.

OoOoOoO

Dun dun dun... :O

Thank you for the reviews! I can't believe how far this story has come. :)

And, yes, there is actually a talking trashcan at Disneyland. It comes out randomly throughout the day (I think), and it is hilarious. I'm always afraid to throw my trash away in Tomorrowland, so I make my best friend do it... because I'm nice. XD
