A/N: Yay! A new chapter! Wow, I feel like I haven't updated in a while. Yeah, okay, so this chapter's pretty long and I do hope it keeps you readers entertained. :)

-Play for Keeps: I know right! I wanted to write that for so long and now I finally did! And I probably should search that up if Kronk's voice actor is the same as that announcer in Soarin' Over California lol. That useless fight dialouge with Izzy and Sierra were actually lines from the movie's Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Useless information you didn't need to know, but now you know them! :D

Gwen and Duncan's (and other's) Disneyland Trip:

Chapter 17: Leaving California Adventure

~Noah's P.O.V.~

Wow, um, so I'm feeling really nervous right now. I'm actually holding Izzy's hand! I even kissed her! I was also the one that pulled her in! I can't believe I had the courage to do that! I'm so proud of myself!

While we were walking towards the exit of California Adventure, Cody shouted out, "Look guys! Donald Duck is still here!"

I groaned and Izzy squealed, "Yay! We can still take our group picture!"

"Let's go!" Sierra screamed out.

"Alright, I guess we can take a picture with...that." Duncan said.

Gwen smiled, "Oh great! Now let's hurry before there's a line."

I sighed, "Do we have to?"

"If we want memories together, then yeah." Gwen says as we all run over to Donald Duck, who's just standing there by the exit. Izzy and I walk over there, not holding hands anymore, until I suddenly feel both of my hands being held by hers.

"Omgravy, Noah! I just forgot that I left my toy inside the ride!" Izzy gasped.

"Which one?" I ask even though I already know it was Soarin' Over California she left her stuffed toy on.

"Soarin' Over California!" Izzy gasps again, "How are we going to get it now?"

My brain started working, "Well, we could possibly just go ask the worker up front if we could get inside to retrieve our toy. I mean your toy. Then, we could possibly..." That's all I could say right before Izzy dragged me off to the exit sign of Soarin' Over California ride and we entered inside there. I'm very surprised that there was no security guards that have found us sneaking in. We looked down the empty hall and found that there was a group just entering the ride. Izzy and I raced inside there very quickly and disguised ourselves in the group.

Once we got inside, Izzy spotted where we sat and immediatly went over there, "Noah! I found it!" She reached down and snatched the toy in her hands and quickly hugged it, "Oh, Jack, I thought I would never you again." After a dramatic pause, Izzy said, "Alright, we can go."

"Great, let's." I say as we are about to exit the ride. But it was too late, we couldn't get out. The doors have already closed up. So now we had to ride the ride...again. Izzy was pretty happy about that and actually, so was I. That was a ride that I actually wanted to go on again. But unlike the last time we rode this how Izzy and I started making out in front of everybody, I just stared at the picture and waited till it was all over. Once it was, Izzy and I jumped off our seats and started heading out.

"Ah, wasn't that awesome, Noah!? It's just as great the second time." Izzy said with a happy sigh.

I nodded, "Yeah..."

Izzy turned to me, "You're acting...kind of strange."

I shivered, "I know. It's just that...no, nevermind, I don't know."

Izzy then kissed my cheek, which made me blush bright red, "But I still like you."

"That's great, because...I like you too." I said.

Izzy rolled her eyes playfully, "I figured you did when you said I was beautiful and then made out in public."

I could feel my cheeks blush even harder and my palms getting sweatier and sweatier by the second. Finally, we arrived outside the building and standing right there in front of us was Duncan, Gwen, Cody, and Sierra.

"Where the hell were you two!? We've been looking for you around the entire f***ing park!" Duncan scolds at us.

"I...lost my toy." Izzy says as she holds up the Jack Skellington toy.

Duncan looks like he's about to strangle Izzy, but then Gwen comes and wraps her arms around Duncan's left arm. Then she whispers in his ear something that I could obviously hear, "Save your energy and anger till we get back to our room, kay Dunk?" She then kisses his ear and then moves out, which makes Duncan calm down. Thank God!

"Alright then," Duncan purred, "But you two!" He points to Izzy and I in his regular demanding voice, "You two are off the hook...for now."

The two of us sigh, "That was a close one." I say.

Izzy nods, "Yeah." Then she looks over at me, "Hey, thanks for going back to get this." She says.

"Why wouldn't I? I know it was special to you and I just couldn't let it get away." I say as we leave the theme park. We didn't get a chance to see Donald again, so we just left without taking a picture with him.

"That is so nice!" Izzy says, squeezing me to death. I just smile and hug her back. Once we let go, Izzy stares at me for a while and then she says, "Hey, um, can I ask you something?"

I shutter. I'm pretty sure I know what she's going to say, "Sure."

Izzy twittles with her toy and begins to wander around the park with her eyes, "I...I..."

"Hey, you guys want to take a picture here? California Adventure will be in the background." Gwen shouts out at all six of us.

"Cool." Cody nods and goes over and stands by Gwen, who's posing.

"Wait! Who's going to, like, take our picture?" Sierra asks.

"I could take your picture." Says an incoming worker walking by.

"Really? You really would!? Oh, that is so kind of you. Thanks a bunch!" Sierra says as she runs over and poses by Cody. Duncan poses by Gwen; Izzy and I go over to where Sierra is posing and stand by them. Well, Izzy poses.

"Do you know how to use that camera?" Duncan asks.

"Yes, sir. Actually, I have this same exact one." The worker states.

"Oh, that's nice then." Duncan says with a satisfying smile.

"Alright, everybody ready?" The worker asks.

"Ready!" All six of us say.

The worker then takes two pictures of us and shows us them, "Here you go. Do you like them?"

"That's awesome! Thanks!" Gwen greets the worker. He just shrugs and then trails off. I looked over at the picture and saw all of us posing: Duncan put his arm around Gwen and smiled, without showing his teeth, Gwen was smiling with her teeth showing, Cody was holding up his two fingers and making the "peace" thing, Sierra was clapping and lifting her leg up, Izzy was posing as a stripper and I was just smiling like a normal person.

"Oh, you need to send me that pic, Gwen." Cody says to Gwen. It was her camera that we took the picture on anyway.

"Oh, I'd totally do that. Do I have your number?" Gwen asks Cody.

"I think so. I have yours." Cody states.

"Here let me check." Gwen takes out her phone and looks at her contacts, "Oh, yeah I do. I have all of your numbers, you guys. I'll send the picture to all of you once we get to our hotels, kay?"

Evebody nods and we continue to head toward the Mickey and Friends tram where we're supposed to be heading home in. Now, our cab that brought us here isn't supposed to take us to our hotel. It was just supposed to take us to Disneyland. So now we have no ride. Well, once we got onto the tram, I looked over at Gwen who was looking at our Tower of Terror picture and laughing with Duncan about it while Izzy was squeezing her toy. I couldn't help but remind her about what she was going to ask earlier, "Hey, Izzy, you still wanted to tell me something?"

Izzy strangely blushes, "Yeah, um, I've decided that I'll tell you once we get back to our hotel." Izzy tells me.

I nod, "Okay." I don't want to rush her anyway.

We finally reach the exit and we all hop off and head towards the escalators, "Did you get here by a cab?" I ask Gwen and Duncan.

"Uh, yeah. What about you?" Gwen asks back.

"Yep." I say.

"So, how are we all getting home?" Duncan questions everybody. It's silent at first...until Cody speaks up.

"I know!" Cody shouts out, "We can all just wait for the bus to get here. Look! There's a waiting bench over there. We'll just sit down and wait until the bus gets here. It's genius!"

Everybody stares at him in silence while Cody grins at us. Duncan finally speaks up, "Eh, I guess we could do that." We all go over to the bench and decide to sit there and wait for the bus to come, "This is okay," Duncan continues, "I mean, how long will the bus take to get here?"

~Forty-Five Minutes Later~

"Hey, there's the bus!" Sierra announces.

"Wow, it took the bus forty-five minutes to get here? It's already Ten!" Duncan scolds at himself while checking his watch that popped out of nowhere. The bus comes over and we all stand up and head towards it. But once we get in, the bus driver orders us each to pay. So we all put in a dollar inside this box and go over to sit down in a chair. There's only six other people on the bus. We'll be fine.

"Where ya headin' at?" The bus driver asks.

"Holiday Inn." Gwen tells the bus driver, "What about you four?" Gwen looks over at Sierra.

"Same...place." Sierra says slowly.

"Do you guys seriously have the same hotel as us?" Duncan asks with a frown.

"I guess we do." Cody grits his teeth. We all hop into some seats and then the bus trails off to Holiday Inn: the place where we're all headed to, apparently.

A/N: Alright, so they finally left California Adventure. Now they're going to go back to their rooms, get some rest, and then start a new day in California...at the beach! Awesome, right!? Oh! And remember to review! Don't forget!
