Chap 3: "Touchdown"

I

"Ryu we can't wait for you to finish singing the "Star Spangled Banner"!" Noriko chided.

"O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!" the Nittle Grasper singer finished, putting on sunglasses as he stepped off the platform.

"Too late Miss. Ukai" her former manager said in English, "Good job Ryuichi" he clapped.

"That was great Ryu!...um K-san why are you speaking in only English now? I can barely understand you" Shuichi said from the rear of the group.

"Because Mr. Shuichi, I can't help but speak English in my home country!" he raised his arms into the air, as if to hold the brightly shining June sun.

Ahead with his brother-in-law, Tohma called in Japanese "You really should let the other passengers off the plane Shindou-san".

As his cheeks became the shade of his hair, said star jumped down with all his luggage. When much of it fell on top of him, his boyfriend proceeded into the Orlando International Airport, not looking back.

Tohma chose Orlando, Florida for their first stop, because Kumagoro exclaimed that he and Ryu wanted to show Shuichi "Disneyland".

Since the flight lasted about fourteen hours Mr. K made a bet with Hiroshi: "How long will Ryu and Shuichi last before jet-lag catches up with them?"

What Hiroshi didn't consider was the fact that Mr. K had traveled with Ryuichi and the rest of Nittle Grasper, so he could "ballpark" how much time it would take the older hyper singer before he crashed. Shuichi however had never been on such a long plane ride.

The group rode in Seguchi Tohma's personal limousine to the "Hilton Anaheim Hotel".

Upon entering, saluting the group Mr. K said "See you later", and took his luggage to a room he would share with his wife and young son.

While Eiri, Tohma, and Suguru stayed at the hotel to unpack and get work done, Ryuichi took Shuichi to "Disneyland", Hiroshi and Noriko close behind. "Maybe they should wear shirts that cover their stomachs, so security doesn't kick us out" Hiro mentioned to Noriko. "They won't do anything to Ryu" she answered with a wink. Tohma's power stretched across the world.

With Ryuichi at the lead, they first visited "Mickey and the Magical Map". The ecstatic singers gravitated toward the songs and dancing costumed people with animated friends accompanying.

The moment the show ended, Ryu dragged Shu to "Hollywood Land to see another show-""Disney's Aladdin- a musical spectacular". As the guards chased Aladdin, wide-eyed Ryu whispered "Oh no", then he and Shuichi cheered when he escaped. Rolling her eyes Noriko asked "How many times are you going to watch this show and still be amazed Ryuichi?"

"Shhh"

Fifty minutes later, after shaking hands with every actor, Ryu breathed deeply "Where should we go next?" he turned to the young singer.

"Can we visit umm" he held up a paper "Captain America: The Living Legend and Symbol of Courage at... "Tomorrowland"? He's my favorite superhero".

"Of course Shuichi na no dah!" Kumagoro replied, Ryu linking their arms they ran toward "Tomorrow Land".

"Okay okay you two, it's time to go back to the hotel" Noriko stated in a motherly tone. "But but Shushu and Ryu haven't gotten souvenirs" Kumagoro demanded bouncing in front of her. "Fine. One. Last. Place."

The singers with a never ending store of energy ran. The other members of Nittle Grasper and Bad Luck stayed out of the singer's way while they finished "Wasting money on dumb trinkets", Noriko put it.

Passing the Mickey Mouse Serving Spoons Set - Color Fusion to Shuichi, Ryu said "You always need spoons", then Shuichi said "Ooh I like that shirt" he pointed to the "Mickey Mouse Ombre Workout Tank for Women".

The man behind the counter said "Um sir, that's a woman's..."

"Oh look! Yuki would look great in this!" the mauve haired singer picked up a "Red Mickey Mouse Polo for Men". Noticing the stacks of "World of Disney ''Best Friends'' Mystery Pin Set", which included unknown combinations of Disney characters (in all Mickey and Pluto; Huey, Dewey and Louie; Pinocchio and Jiminy; Bambi and Thumper; Pooh and Piglet; Mowgli and Baloo; Tod and Copper; Oliver and Dodger; Ariel and Flounder; Aladdin and Genie; Simba, Pumbaa and Timon; Mulan and Mushu; Lilo and Stitch; Lock, Shock and Barrel; Buzz and Woody; Mike and Sulley), each grabbed handfuls of twenty eight, enough to make sure each of their friends got the whole set.

As they finished purchasing everything, Shuichi began stumbling, then fell into Hiroshi's arms. "The jet lag finally caught up to him" Noriko giggled.

Putting him over his shoulder, "Reminds me of the first time you got drunk".

When they got out of the cab, Hiro lifted his pal again. "See you later Shuichi!" Ryu yelled as Noriko dragged him away while muttering about him wasting their band's funds.

Arriving at his friend and Yuki's suite, he entered without knocking and lay the drooling teen on the bed.

Eiri turned from his laptop. "Jet lag" Hiroshi said, then walked out.

Continuing down the hall, the redhead knocked on a door. A lovely American woman with smiling green eyes and brown hair answered. "Hi Mrs. Winchester, is your husband here?" K came over with a grin and put out his hand. Sighing, Hiro placed numerous U.S bills onto his palm.

"You have my gratitude Mr. Nakano"

"Baka ka" the Japanese guitarist responded. Now that he lost all the money he converted, he had to return to the bank to convert more of his money. "Why can't they just accept yen in this dumb country?!"

From inside the suite came a little boy's voice "Daddy when are we going to Disneyland?"

In a light tone, "Tomorrow Michael, remember? We can try out the hotel's pool today". Bouncing on the couch the small child exclaimed "Yay!"

Turning back to the door, he lowered his voice and poured on the sob-story; "I need this money to bring my son to Disneyland for the first time in his life. You see he's five, and has always wanted to meet Mickey Mouse... Mr. Nakano, that is why I needed this money".

Hiro was unsure what to say, "Um don't worry about it Mr. K, no problem, you two have a fun time in the pool". He retreated to the elevator at the other end of the hall.

"Claude" his wife said shaking her head.

"He has plenty of money Judy"

"So do we" she replied, shaking her head at her husband.

"Pool time pool time!" their son, now wearing Lion King swim trunks, shouted running to them. Blonde hair matching his son's swayed as Claude reached down to pick up the boy.

"Let's grab some towels first Mikey" Judy suggested, walking into the extra bedroom where they kept their luggage.

A/N: I've never been to Disneyland, but am not ashamed to say I love Disney movies (old and new), not the crap shows and "stars" from Disney channel though :P

*Note: I was informed that Disneyworld is at the location I put them in, not Disneyland, but I'm not going to change the chapter, especially since I am tired of research, but have more to do for future chapters.
