Sorry it's been so long, everyone! School is just bleh, and ruling my life. Also, I had a Doctor Who themed Halloween party last night, and I've spent all of my freetime in the past three weeks decorating for it and finishing my River Song costumes. I'd also just like to let you know that I'm hoping to wrap up this story by about a month from now because I'm going to actually be in Disney World then, and I was hoping to post the final chapter while we're there. I feel like it would be fitting.

Also, I must admit that after last weekends fall finale episode, I had no will to write because my soul was just crushed by sadness. I won't say anything for the sake of those of you who have not seen it yet, but... ugh. Too many feelings.

Anyway, on with the story!

Once at the Land Pavilion, they rode the escalators back down to the first floor (you enter the building on the second storey) and walked over to the entrance to Soarin'. They produced their Fastpasses, and after the Castmember at the gate checked to make sure they had the correct time, they proceeded into the queue. They walked through a long hallway, turned a corner, and were met by another castmember who collected the Fastpass tickets and pointed them to a hallway branching off to the left. They walked a ways down that hall then stopped shortly because the queue was still backed up.

"...I thought we were supposed to get those Fastpass things to avoid the lines..." Amy said as she craned her neck to see how many people were in front of them.

The Doctor stood on tiptoe and looked over the crowd of heads. "Well, I suppose in many cases, the Fastpasses are just a way to shorten the wait. Not eliminate it." He went back to standing normally and put on a pouty face. "I hate waiting."

River smiled and shook her head, "It shouldn't be that long, Sweetie. There aren't too many people..."

About ten minutes later they were assigned to the front row in the middle of the three sections of cars. They entered a room with a huge IMAX-style screen and rows of seats that vaguely looked like those on airplanes. They sat down, fastened the seatbelts, and River and Amy placed their bags in the compartments under the seats. After a few moments, a voice came over the speakers and said, "Clear for takeoff..." The room went dark, and the rows of seats were suddenly elevated up to the screen at varying elevations of thirty, twenty, and ten feet. Being in the front row, the Doctor and the Ponds were up at thirty feet. The Doctor grinned, swinging his feet as he leaned down to look at the people in the second row behind and beneath them.

"You idiot..." River sighed as she pulled him back up to normal sitting position. The screen in front of them was showing clouds whooshing by, and after a moment, they broke through them to see the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco beneath them on the screen. It really felt like they were flying! The Doctor put his arms in the air and leaned forward. When he turned around for a moment to see if anyone else had followed his lead, he was met with amused looks from all three Ponds... so he grabbed River's hand and pulled her forward, she in turn grabbed Amy's hand, and Amy grabbed Rory's so they were all leaning forward out to the screen with their clasped hands in front of them for the remainder of the ride.

After the final scene (which included flying through a fireworks show at Disneyland), the room went dark again, and the rows of seats descended to the ground. Amy and River collected their bags, and all four exited the ride. They all had smiles on their faces.

"If the line weren't so incredibly long, I would say we should ride it again..." the Doctor said as they left the building.

"Maybe later." River replied as she took the map back out. "So, what else to we want to see in this section of the park?"

Amy, Rory, and the Doctor all looked over River's shoulders to see the map. Rory pointed to the Spaceship Earth ride where they'd met up earlier. "Why don't we go ride that, and afterwards, we can ride the rides on the East side of the park?"

Everyone agreed, and they walked back to the massive structure.

There was no wait, and they walked straight into the ride. The cars were blue, and arranged so as to fit four people: two in the front seat, and two in the back. The Doctor and River took the front with Amy and Rory behind. There were little screens in front of them in the cars, and these screens asked them to pick a language. Amy and Rory picked English, but before River could press it on their screen, the Doctor picked Korean.

"Doctor! Really?"

He just grinned. "The TARDIS will translate it for us, and even if she didn't I can still read it, and I bet you can too."

"Just because I can, doesn't mean I want to..."

The cars pulled up into darkness. A screen above them warned them that their pictures were about to be taken. Of course the Doctor made a stupid face. River just rolled her eyes at him, and the camera caught her doing that. After the pictures were taken, a voice began to narrate. For the Amy and Rory, it was in English, while for River and the Doctor it was Korean.

River looked over at the Doctor. "I hate you."

They pulled through a scene of prehistoric man telling stories by a fire in a cave while others painted on the walls. After that, they passed into a scene of ancient Egypt, with a scribe pounding papyrus to record the dictation of the Pharaoh and the Queen next to him. Upon seeing the Egyptian queen, the Doctor smiled and leaned over to River and said, "You know, you looked better in that outfit than she does... I always thought Egypt suited you."

River couldn't help but smile. After Egypt, there was a small scene of Phoenician fisherman which led into a scene of a Roman messenger speaking to an official. Amy nudged Rory and said, "That may as well be you! My Roman..." She pecked him on the cheek.

After Rome, there was an extremely brief scene of the burning of the Library of Alexandria, which led to the Middle Ages in the Middle East, which gave way to scenes of the Renaissance. After that were some scenes of the Industrial Revolution, including a mass production newspaper press, news of the end of WWI, and a news reel from the 1930s. There was also a small scene on the left of a family sitting in a 1960s style living room, watching a television that was playing Neil Armstrong stepping on to the moon. The Doctor shook his head at seeing this. "Every person who goes through this ride gets their orders to kill the Silence... well, at least these parks should be safe from them then." He shook his head. River placed her hand over his.

There were a few more scenes before the ride came out of a tunnel and into a huge open area at the very top of the ride, where it looked like they were in space, among the stars, and looking down at Earth. Having seen the real thing, it was not quite as impressive to the four of them as it would be to anyone else, but it did still make an impact. After going through that area, their car turned backwards and began to descend back into another tunnel. The screens in the cars came back to life and began to ask questions. By the time they were finished, they were almost back to ground level. After a few moments of a screen saying, "We're creating your future!", a video began to play. The video was a bunch of cartoon animations with cartoon people, except the two people had the Doctor's and River's pictures as the heads. Amy 's and Rory's had the two of them. All four of them just burst out laughing at the absurdity of it. After getting off the ride, the Doctor ran over to some touch screens in a large room next to where the ride unloaded. After punching in a few things, then sonicing the screen, he turned and smiled at the three Ponds before pointing to one of the large screens above them. Their pictures flashed up briefly before disappearing to where they had placed as their hometowns. The Doctor had lied and said London for the four of them, but for some reason, Amy and Rory's went to the area of New York instead.

The Doctor looked confusedly at the screen. "Weird. I told it London."

"Eh, probably a technology mix up. It doesn't matter." Amy said with a shrug.

"Well, I emailed the videos to the TARDIS anyway. That's what really mattered." the Doctor said with a huge grin. "What next?"

River was looking at the map again. "How about Mission Space? Yes, I know we can actually go into space any time we like, but just for fun..."

A random person walked by and heard River say this. He gave the four of them a strange look and continued walking.

"I won't say that so loudly next time..."

So they went to ride Mission Space, and the Doctor complained the entire time they were on it about how wrong they were about everything. After that, they rode the Test Track, where Amy sat in the area of the driver's seat. When they got off the ride Rory said to her, "Even when you're not actually driving... you still probably shouldn't be driving."

Amy smacked his arm. "Shut up, stupidface."

They were looking at the map once again, but this time the Doctor had it. And he found something that caught his interest. "Ok, I don't care about anything else in this section of the park, but I want to go to Club Cool. Let's go!" and he took off running, yelling, "GERONIMO!" as he went.

The Ponds all just shrugged and ran after him.

Once arriving at Club Cool, they found that it was a store sponsored by Coca Cola that had free samples from different soda pops from around the world.

The Doctor was beside himself. "THIS PLACE IS COOL. SO COOL. LITERALLY. IT EVEN HAS COOL IN ITS NAME! ...ALTHOUGH I MUST ADMIT THAT I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE MORE BOWTIES BECAUSE BOWTIES ARE COOL TOO."

Amy, Rory, and River watched the Doctor with wide eyes. "That's why you said to not give him sugar, yeah?" Amy said to River.

"That is exactly why."

Review, please? If I get a bunch of reviews, I may have a link to some fanart for those animations they got while riding Spaceship Earth... ;)

In any case, thanks for reading, and sticking with me on this!
