Well I finally thought of another one shot. It's somewhat based on my own trip to Disney World in November 2006. Well enjoy it.

The Outers go to Disney World
We were all on a plane heading to Florida. I had won my last 10 races and Michiru's CDs were selling like crazy, so we had decided to go to Disney World in Florida with Hotaru and Setsuna. Hotaru was really excited about the trip, Setsuna not so much.
"I still don't know why we just didn't go to the Tokyo Disney Land." She complained.
"Because we want to travel the world." I told her.
"Plus it is the original park." Michiru told her. Setsuna just grumbled some more. Boy, won't she be a pile of fun this week.
"Yeah, I'm going to see Mickey!" Hotaru squealed.
"Don't forget Minnie, Pluto, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy." I told her. She nodded her head. The overhead then came on.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are about to begin our descend on Orlando, Florida." The Captain announced. "At this time I would like you to fasten your seatbelts and secure and loose articles. Thank you." Looks like the first part of our Disney adventure was about to begin.
After going through customs, we were on a bus to our Disney resort. We were staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort. I found this name ironic since we weren't in the Caribbean's nor did the brochure say it was near a beach. Oh well. Within an hour, the bus arrived at our resort. We got off and claimed our luggage. Now the fun part, checking in. We walked into the front office and went to an open register.
"Welcome to Disney's Caribbean Resort!" The girl at the desk said when we approached. "May I have your party's name?"
"We're the Tenoh party." I told her.
"Um, may you spell that for me?" She asked. Boy, this would be hard. These Americans had about three different or more ways to Romanize my name. I decided to go with the way I liked it.
"T-E-N-O-H." I told her. She typed it into her computer.
"Oh yes, here it is. Haruka Tenoh, Michiru Kaioh, Setsuna Meioh, and Hotaru Tomoe. Is that correct?" I nodded. Thank God we got that on the first spelling. The girl reached under her desk and pulled stuff out. After going through all the stuff, she gave me an envelope with cards in them.
"There is a card in here for all four of you with you names on it. Not only will they open your room, but they are also you ticket for getting into the parks. You just need to insert it into the machine there and give it your fingerprint as identification. That being said, you'll need your own card for entering the parks. It can also be used like a visa to pay for meals and stuff." She explained.
"Thank you." We all said as we left the desk. We waited by the bus stop that would take us to our part of the resort. It took a few minutes, but once we arrived, we had no trouble finding our room. I inserted my card in the door and opened it. I was a nice room with two Queen sized beds. There was a table to sit at and a coffee maker. I opened the cabinet to find the TV. I backed up and lied on the bed to the left of me.
"Michiru and I call this bed." I said. Michiru continued to explore the room. She opened the drawers.
"Not much room in these." She said. She walked into the bath room.
"Oh, I see. The sinks are out here so whoever happens to be on the toilet or taking a bath can have privacy.
"Yeah, Americans just think of everything." I said with my eyes still glued to the TV. Michiru sighed at me.
"We did not come half way around the world to watch TV." She said.
"Then what did we come here for?" Setsuna mumbled. Wow, she was having fun already. I turned of the TV.
"Why don't we go to a park?" I suggested. Michiru squealed and looked over the park brochures we got from the front desk. After looking over them all she decided.
"Why don't we go to Epcot first?" She suggested. I groaned.
"Isn't Epcot the boring 'educational' park?" I complained. Michiru nodded and I moaned again.
"Well there are some rides there I think you would like. One is called Soarin'. It's a ride where you sit in these seats that are lifted up and a screen in front of you displays picture of landscapes from above. It's supposed to make you feel like you're flying." I looked up in interest. That did sound interesting. Being the wind senshi, I loved anything that involved flight and/or going fast. Within minutes, we were waiting for a bus going to Epcot.
The bus was fairly deserted when we got on. Guess Epcot isn't that popular. A few other people got on at the different stops at our resort. Within minutes, we were off to Epcot. It took awhile to get to Epcot. When we finally got there, we got off and headed to the entrance gates. Luckily for us, none of us brought any bag with us today, so we skipped the bag check. We picked the gate with the shortest line. This card thing was simpler then I thought. Just put it in, place finger on scanner, grab card, and head threw gate. We all got threw without any trouble.
"So, now what?" Setsuna asked. Michiru checked the brochures.
"Why don't we do something Setsuna might enjoy first? It's a ride that will show us the history of communication." She said and pointed in front of us. It was called Spaceship Earth. Well I guess it sounded interesting. We entered the building. After walking threw the halls we found the line to be small. That could be dew to the fact that this ride is all a bunch of seats running non stop. We got on rather quickly and was in darkness.
"Are we having fun yet?" Setsuna asked from the front of our 'car' she sat in with Hotaru. Michiru and myself were in the back of the 'car'. This was quit dull. When we finally reached the first think, I wasn't that excited. It was just a wax doll. Some guy narrated over the speakers in our 'car'. All in all, I found it pretty boring. Michiru and Hotaru liked it though.
"Can we go to that Soarin' ride now?" I asked. Michiru looked at the brochure and squealed.
"I want to stop at the aquarium first. It's on the way." Damn Disney for putting the aquarium before the flying ride. I sighed as we headed towards the aquarium. It appeared in order to reach the aquarium, you had to go on a Finding Nemo ride, which was similar to the Spaceship Earth ride. After that ride was over with, we were finally at the aquarium. Michiru had a field day with all the fish there. Well I guess the sea is her natural element. After she was finally done looking at the fish, we headed over to the Soarin' ride. Unfortunately, there was a long line for it. It turned out to be worth the wait. It felt like I was actually flying. I was quit disappointed when it ended.
"So, now where to?" I asked. Michiru was looking at the brochure.
"Here's another one you'll like, Haruka. It's called Test Track. It's a ride that simulates how cars are tested. It says it's the fasted ride here." I grinned with excitement. I ran all the way there. I was disappointed to find another long line. After waiting for an hour, we finally board. I hopped in the front, where the driver's seat would be. Hotaru hopped beside me. Michiru and Setsuna ended up in the back. We all put our seatbelt on and prepared ourselves. This ride was not as fun as it sounded, while it did go fast during the last part, it didn't last long enough. Well it was fun enough for me to buy a picture took during the fast part. Setsuna was screaming like a maniac in the picture.
Looking at the brochure Michiru said, "There's one last ride you would like. It's called Mission: Space. It says it's some sort of spaceship simulation for a mission to Mars."
"Sounds great." I said.
"Let's go on it!" Hotaru piped up.
"We have choices to. We can ether be on the green team or the orange team. The orange one is the intense one. The green one just takes the spinning out."
"Orange." Hotaru and I say at the same time. Setsuna groaned.
"But I wanted green." She complained. I shook my head at her.
"Come on, Setsuna. I know you like green tea, but you're a sailor senshi. You should take the tough mission." With that we dragged her off the orange version of the ride. We waited a while, but finally got on. We were each given rolls at the start of the ride and had to press buttons throughout the ride. It was fun, even though Setsuna screamed like a mad woman during the fun parts. Once we got off, we decided to go back to our resort for the night. We quickly found the bus stop going back to our resort.
While waiting for the bus Setsuna said, "I'm never going on any of those rides again." Well maybe we'd have more luck tomorrow.
The next morning, Michiru woke us all up at 7 much to our displeasure. I groggily sat up.
"I wouldn't mind being woken up this early for 'alone time'." I commented. Michiru smacked the back of my head.
"Setsuna and Hotaru are in the room." She told me.
"Well you two are so loud at home, sometimes I feel like I am in the room when I'm actually outside." Setsuna commented. We both blushed heavily at this. Michiru coughed into her fist.
"Why don't we go down to breakfast now?" She suggested. I nodded in agreement. We all quickly got dressed and went down to the food court. There were a few different types of food stands there. Hotaru and myself settled with the Mickey waffles. Michiru and Setsuna got a more traditional western breakfast, with eggs and bacon. We paid using our cards and found a table. Before eating my Mickey waffle, I took a picture of it. Setsuna stared at me strangely.
"What? It's in the shape of Mickey's head. I want to remember it."
"Right." She said in response.
Once we finished breakfast, we walked outside and I spotted a temporary tattoo stand. I suddenly wanted a tattoo.
"Michiru, can I get a tattoo?" I asked her.
"I want a tattoo too!" Hotaru said.
"Alright, I suppose we have time." Michiru told us. We excitedly ran over to the stand. Hotaru got a rub on Mickey and Minnie tattoo while I decided on an airbrush dragon tattoo. The girl working at the stand placed the template over my arm where I wanted it and sprayed the ink on.
"Now don't get it wet in the next half hour." She told me.
"Sure thing." I told her. "How long will this last anyways?" I asked.
"About 5-7 days. Maybe more." She replied. I wanted this to stay forever. Maybe I should get a real tattoo. Michiru may not approve though.
"Thanks." With that we went back to our room. After much discussion, we decided to go to the Animal Kingdom that day. We boarded the bus there. It took a while to get there. I swear we passed Epcot on the way there. Once we got there, we did the usual going in routine. Setsuna had a bit of trouble with her card the first time, but it worked the second time.
"Well, I guess we can go counter-clockwise around the park this time." Michiru said while looking at her brochure. We ended up in DinoLand first. I spotted a roller coaster there.
"Let's go on that!" I said.
"I don't want to." Setsuna complained. We all sighed and dragged her on. It was rather fun, and freaky at the same time. We all sat in this egg type car. We went up the hill then the ride really started. Not only was the track a factor, but the egg car also spun. Setsuna was screaming her head off the entire time. When we got off, we decided it was time for lunch. We went to a McDonald's sponsored.
"We didn't come half way around the world to eat at McDonald's." Michiru said as we waited in line.
"It's not McDonald's. It's only sponsored by McDonald's." I told her. We all ended up ordering burgers and fries anyways.
After lunch, we went on another roller costar in the Asia section of the park. This one was called Expedition Everest. This one sent us into the mountains and we saw the yeti on it. It went backwards after we saw the yeti which was cool. Setsuna was screaming like a bat out of hell the whole time. It was a very hot day, which is why we decided to go on the Kali River Rapids ride next. Man, did we get wet on that.
Next, we ended up in the Africa section. There we went on a safari tour. Michiru had her camera out the entire time, trying to get good pictures of all the animals there. I had to laugh at her attempts. They weren't going as well as she wanted them to.
Before we left, Hotaru wanted to get autographs from Disney characters. Setsuna went with her while Michiru and I rested.
"So, do you think Setsuna is having fun yet?" I asked Michiru.
"Who knows?" She said. "At least we are." I nodded at that. That was true at least. After Hotaru was finished, we went back to the resort and swam in the swimming pool the rest of the day.
The next day started out like usual. Michiru woke us all up at 7 for breakfast. We hung around the resort for a while. Around 11 we decided to go to the MGM Studios park.
When we got there, Michiru led us to the right of the park. I wondered where we were going.
"There's a Little Mermaid musical show. I have to see it." She told us. Figures, she just has to see anything even slightly related to the sea. When we got to the theatre, the line was rather small. We got in quickly. The show was alright. The girl playing Ariel was rather hot. I liked her. Michiru noticed this and pinched my arm.
After the show was done, Michiru decided to let me pick the next 2 rides. Setsuna became green.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" She asked. I just shrugged. For my first ride pick, I choose the Tower of Terror. We practically dragged Setsuna on that. That ride was scary the first time. They have a lot of build up. First they showed us a creepy video before we get on. Then they took us to the boarding room. The ride itself was designed to be like a platform elevator with seats in it. They even had a chicken elevator for bailers. It took everything we had to keep Setsuna off it. Once we were on it, there was more build up as it showed us more Twilight Zone stuff as we moved forwards. Then it stopped. After a few seconds, it dropped, and then went back up. It did this randomly for awhile before it stopped and took us to be unloaded. While leaving a purchased the picture taken when the ride first dropped. Setsuna was clutching the handles beside her seat for dear life. I'm sure the inners would tease her when they say this.
The next ride I choose was the Rock 'n' Roll Roller Coaster. It was a long wait, but was worth it. I'll tell you now, that this was the only looping coaster there. It was inside and in the dark, so you couldn't see what was coming. I found it fun, but Setsuna was screaming like Usagi at the dentist the entire time. I ended up buying the picture taken when the ride first started going fast. Setsuna even looked like Usagi at the dentist in the picture.
Afterwards, Michiru suggested going on 'The Great Movie Ride'. I don't know what was so great about it. The wait to get on it was long. Then you just sat in a car and went threw scenes from different movies. I suppose some part were cool though, like that alien coming out of the ceiling and scaring Setsuna.
Afterwards, I lead everyone to the Star Wars ride. It was a flight simulator ride. I found it really cool even though it didn't go anywhere, it felt like you did. Hotaru liked it too. We saw various other shows that day, my favorite being that stunt show. When the day was done, we went back to our resort for our nightly activities, no, it involved nothing perverted, you perverts.
The next day started like the other days. Do I need to explain it? No? Good. Well anyways, today was the day we would finally go to the most famous park in Disney world. The Magic Kingdom. While Epcot had its sphere, the Animal Kingdom had it's tree, and the MGM Studios had it's giant Mickey wizard hat, the Magic Kingdom had the castle.
"Let's start in Adventureland, then move to Frontierland, then we'll head over to Tomorrowland, finally we'll go to Fantasyland." Michiru explained. We nodded and headed over to Adventureland.
The first ride we went on there was the Jungle Cruise. We boarded a boat and when around and saw many things, a tour guide narrating us the whole time. It was pretty fun. Next we went on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It was a cool ride and we saw robotic pirates.
After that we went over to Frontierland. First, since we were so hot, we went on Splash Mountain. The ride was OK. Most of the ride you sat listening to robot animals singing some silly song. The main event was the big drop. First you went up this big hill in a dark cave then dropped down 5 stories. I noticed a flash during the drop and knew I had to get the picture. Michiru was clinging to my arm and Setsuna was screaming like a hyena. I ended up with not only the picture, I also bought a t-shirt.
Next we went on the Thunder Mountain roller coaster. This coaster took us threw a bunch of rocks. I liked it like I have all the other fast rides. Setsuna was screaming like a, I don't know, what haven't I compared her screaming to yet… a mental patient?
We then ventured over to Tomorrowland. I pointed out the first ride I wanted to go on there, the Indy Speedway. We paired up so Michiru and I when in one car, Hotaru and Setsuna in another. I took the drivers seat in my car. Hotaru drove the other.
"You do know these cars are on a track?" Michiru asked me as I got work up over driving. I nodded my head. Despite the track, it was still fun.
Next I led everyone to the Space Mountain indoor roller coaster. It was supposed to be in the dark to. I hoped it'd be as fun as the Rock 'n' Roll coaster was. It turned out the cars only fit 3 people, which meant Setsuna ended up with strangers. This might have been a good thing since I ran out of things to compare her screaming to. I could still hear her screaming though. It was a cool ride. I liked how you couldn't see what was in front of you. It made the turns and hills a surprise.
Afterwards came the worst, and unfortunately most memorable, part of our vaction. Michiru dragged us to the scariest ride in the history of the world. That ride is called "It's a Small World". If only it was.
"But a trip to Disney World wouldn't be complete without going on this ride." Michiru protested.
"Says who?" I responded. She just grumbled and dragged us all in the line. Just standing in line was bad. They had those annoying prop thingys in the loading zone and the music was playing over the speakers.
"Can I get off now?" I asked.
"We're not even on yet." Michiru told me. Really, I could have sworn we were. After 5 agonizing minutes in line, we were finally loaded. As we left, some girl from above was waving at us. I almost wanted to scream "NOOOOOOOOOO!" but didn't. We went through a tunnel, awaiting the horror before us. Nothing could have prepared me for it as a barrage of dolls and bad singing surrounded me. I felt my sanity slipping away slowly.
"See, this isn't so bad." Michiru said from beside me.
"Yes, it is." I replied.
"Can we go on Slash Mountain again? It was like this, but was cooler and had the big splash at the end." Hotaru said. I couldn't agree more with her. Setsuna was twitching in her seat.
"They're everywhere… there's no way out…" She mumbled. The last straw for her came when some kid behind her got all excited over nothing.
"Oh… Mommy! Look at that!" He yelled out and started singing the song along with the creepy dolls. That was it for Setsuna she snapped. She jumped right out of the boat, transformation pen raised.
"Pluto Planet Power, Make Up!" She screamed. I gasped in shock. I didn't know what to be more shocked at, her losing it or her transforming in front of all these people. Pluto faced the dolls. "Dead Scream." She attacked all the dolls and destroyed them. Unfortunately, the music still played.
"I told you we shouldn't have come on this ride." I told Michiru. Pluto was not looking any better.
"It won't stop… won't stop!" She mumbled. She let out a humungous cry as she let lose a wave of power that tore the ride apart. She then grew to a Godzilla like size and went on a rampage around the park.
"We got to do something." Michiru said as Godzilla Pluto approached the castle.
"Agreed." I said. We hoped off of what was left of the ride and found a quite place to transform. We then faced Godzilla Pluto.
"World Shaking!"
"Deep Submerge!" Our attacks hit her, but did nothing.
"Now what?" I asked.
"Should I end the world?" Saturn suggested.
"That's going too far." Neptune told her. The park manager ran up.
"Oh no, it's happened again. Another poor soul has gone crazy from the Small World ride." He said.
"How do we stop her?" I asked.
"The only way she'll return to normal, is if we can remove the song from her head with other music." The manager explains. Neptune and I looked at each other and nodded. Out of nowhere, a piano and violin appears. We began to play the instruments. Godzilla Pluto instantly froze in her tack and began to shrink back into normal Pluto. It had worked. Everyone cheered.
After a few more fun filled days, we finally headed back to Japan. At the Tokyo airport I spotted a newspaper with a headline saying "Monster Sailor Senshi Destroys Disney World" with a picture of Godzilla Pluto on it. I picked up the paper and read it.
"On Wednesday, Sailor Pluto appeared at Disney World. The only problem was, she was huge and destroying the place. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune were able to calm her with their music. Experts say her violent behavior may have been caused by the fact that her planet is no longer considered a planet." A vein popped in Setsuna's head as I read this.
"What?! No longer a planet?!" Before I knew what happened, Godzilla Pluto was terrorizing Tokyo.
The End!
Well I hope you all liked this one shot. I have been on all the rides I mentioned in this story. I certainly had fun writing this. I had my old Disney brochures from the parks in front of me while writing this. Please review.
