A Trip to Disney

Chapter 4.5: Time to Celebrate.

"Would you mind if I take a peek into your heart?
Would you mind if I grant all your desires for a lock of your hair?
We've run out of pages so we need a peaceful closing,
it looks like I no longer have a place here"

-Vocaloid "Romeo and Cinderella"

Yes, I know in the summary it doesn't list Romance as on of the topics, but this is something that wouln't come up very often. Without further ado, here it is, for fun... a bachelor party of sorts... the thing for about three years to wait.

That day had been one of the strangest and most fun of my life. I mean, I got to yell at people who copied Happy Noodle Boy without knowing, and I got to have fun at a theme park without the threat of death. I'd expected that after something like that, everyone would be too exhausted to have anything but a quiet evening, right? Wrong!

"So little Roxy's a big boy now!" Zuko teased

"Knock it off! At least I worked up the nerve...like Erik did." Roxas said.

"Yes, good show young one, good show!" Erik said.

"Mr. Nny, Mr. Erik, what did Mr. Roxas do?" Squee asked innocently.

"He asked Miss Sarah to marry him" Erik said

"...in about three years." I added.

"That's so nice!" Squee exclaimed, "I hope they are happy!"

"I hope so too." Roxas Muttered.

"HEY!" Came a voice from the railings. David swung into the middle of our group, standing on a slightly strained leg, "You dweebs are forgetting the most important part of any engagement!"

"Where did you come from?" Roxas asked in a confused tone.

"Yea," Squee began, "didn't Mr. Nny throw you off the back of the bus?"

"For your information, you little brat," David began angrily, "I'm a vampire, I flew all the way here. Anyway, you're all forgetting about the bachelor party!"

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a bachelor party is a celebration that takes place the night before a man gets married?" Zuko asked.

"It is." I said shortly.

"Well, just look at poor Roxy..." David said walking over to Roxas and putting his arm about his shoulders, and Roxas looked like he didn't enjoy it in the least, "He's got three years before he gets to finally make that devil-woma-err-lovely young lady his bride... We may as well celebrate while she's still going easy on him."

Roxas pulled David's arm off him, "Ok, first of all," he began pointedly, "she's not a devil-woman. Second of all, Sarah is not very invasive or controlling, so I'm not seeing a problem with keeping secrets. Thirdly, I do not need a bachelor 'party'. A celebration is ok, but no 'parties', there are young children here*."

"Fine, we'll have a bachelor celebration. But we still get to put a lady in a cake." David compromised.

A little later

We were all in the kitchen, Erik stood before us in a professional chef outfit, hat and all. "Ok, we have two cakes to make, and I need all of your help..." He said, pacing back and forth in front of us. He finally stopped in the middle of our line, and pointed to each of us in turn, "David, you stall the other chefs, keep them out of the kitchen whatever the cost. Roxas, you are in charge of mixing ingredients, Zuko, you are on oven duty, Squee, you're in charge of icing, I am in charge of gathering ingredients, and Nny, you are in charge of decorating and cutting all the fruit decorations. Now, to our jobs, men!" he said and we all split up.

After we were done with the small cake, it was time for the big one we would be putting a girl in. "Ok, you go get her, make sure she's in the costume," Erik whispered to David.

"Why did you choose that one?" David hissed, "If I'd had my way, she'd be in a bunny outfit, you know the ones that are-" before David could even finish his sentence, a huge leather-bound tome flew from absolutely nowhere and beanned David in the head.

The rest of us laughed as Erik shouted at us to get back to our duties. A half hour later, David came in dragging a sack with sound of struggling issued from the inside, "I got her!" David cried triumphantly.

"Great, Zuko, you bring me the bottom two layers of the large cake, Roxas, go back to the room, and Squee, you bring in the top layer." Erik instructed.

Roxas and I looked at each other, and shrugged. He left as I continued to chop the heads off ripe strawberries until Erik called for me to put matching decorations on the cake that I had just done previously. I walked in and stared at the four foot replica of our smaller cake before shaking myself out of it and adding the decorations the cake so desperately needed.

"Ok, let's roll this puppy into the elevator and get going!" Zuko said, as we started to push the enormous baked good back to the hotel room.

Thirty frustrating moments rolled by before we finally managed to get the huge cake into the room. "Let the celebrating begin!" Cried Laura who I noticed was in the back corner of the small room, eating some watermelon that I supposed Erik had ordered through room service. Jordan came up to her, "Laura, that's, like, your eleventh piece. Slow down!" she said urgently. I found this particularly funny because it's usually Sarah who is begging Laura to slow down on watermelon at this point, which led me to wonder, where was Sarah?

I looked all around, even going so far as to knock on the bathroom door. She was nowhere!

"Hey, Roxy~" David called mischievously, "It's time to cut your big cake!"

Roxas looked over to David and I could see the worry in his eyes. Obviously he was more concerned about the whereabouts of his fiancée than he was about getting a slice of sweet spongy bread with buttermilk frosting. None the less, he walked over calmly and just as he was putting a slight nick in the cake, it burst.

For those who are lost, allow me to clarify. The cake spontaneously combusted, another word to be used was burst.

From the ruin of mine and other's toil in the kitchen, stood Sarah, wearing a Japanese middle school uniform off of Ouran High School Host Club, (Author note: Not the yellow dress, it's the brown sailor girl uniform with long sleeves, a mini skirt, and long socks. The uniform Haruhi had to wear in episode 6.) The whole room was silent. Sarah stood there, hastily pulling down her skirt in back so it would be less revealing; Roxas stared at her, mouth agape and a bright red blush spreading across his cheeks. Laura and Jordan looked at their friend, completely speechless; Erik just looked without much emotion. Squee and Zuko gazed at her, Squee confused and Zuko just as speechless as his "girlfriend". And David looked at her, smiling evilly as his face was being dusted with pink.

"Right then..." Roxas started finally, "I think this celebration is over."

After we all cleaned up the cake mess David's "Party Favor" had left all over the floor, we headed off to our beds, well, not me. I had to read Squee "The Fountain of Fair Fortune." and have Sarah sing the song from Snow White and the Huntsman, before heading to my chair to keep watch for David who had left due to a "sudden thirst", wooden knife in hand as I watched over all the kids, and hoping, just hoping, that Jimmy hadn't done anything that would make me want to kill him for the demon's fresh meal.

Here it is! It took a while, but I did it! Anyway, please review. I wouln't have anything up for the rest of this week due to me being busy this whole week. Ok, BYE!

*Usually the word "Party" indicates the possibility of alcohol. That's why Roxas said no parties, he didn't want to scar Squee for life.
