(A/N: Originally, the whole Disney World sequence was going to be squeezed in one chapter, but I decided otherwise. This chapter of the beginning of the road trip alone was getting too long. Enjoy!)
High School Daze
Ch. 11
It was quite early in the morning, almost 6, but Shenzi and Frankie were practically vibrating with excitement as they packed themed clothes in equally themed suitcases. What were they excited for? Their trip to Disney World! Tommy received his license after he turned 16, and he had a lot of experience from driving with his parents and an instructor, so he offered to drive them. Unfortunately, Maxie and Matt couldn't come with them, because of a Goof family reunion at Newport Beach, but they understood. They did wish them a happy reunion, and the two brothers wished them a great trip.
Shenzi packed clothes, jewelry, hair accessories, a swimsuit, her asthma inhaler, pajamas, and other basic necessities in a black, white and red Mickey and Minnie Mouse printed rolling suitcase, while Frankie's items were contained in a black and rainbow Mickey heads pop art printed rolling suitcases, both of which were surprises from their parents for the trip.
After they finished packing, the girls sat on the couch in the living room, unable to sit still with ecstacy. For the start of the trip, Frankie was wearing a black sleeveless dress with multi-colored pastel skulls all over it, pastel pink and blue Vans with white laces, turquoise jewel earrings, and a light pink Tippi cardigan. Shenzi was in a black and violet purple tie dye Killstar voodoo crop top, dark denim straight-leg jeans, black Converse slouchy high-tops with purple laces, purple Hibiscus earrings, a purple single extension, black multi extensions that faded into lavender, and a light purple/pink featherweight cashmere cardigan. Their respective luggage were on the floor in their reach. "Sis, you're making the couch shake," Frankie giggled.
"I can't help it!" Shenzi's smile grew, "I'm so excited! I wonder how we're getting there?"
"I'm not sure," Frankie shrugged, "All I know is that Tommy's driving us. I'm very excited too; Are we going to fly, or drive the whole way? Who knows? Tommy's going to call us to tell us what our method of transportation is going to be."
"Cool," Shenzi kicked her legs, "Florida is pretty far from here; Almost cross-country. Maybe we're going to fly."
"That's possible," Frankie agreed with her, "Either way, it's going to rock."
"Yep," Shenzi nodded, "Ooh, I can't wait!" She practically squealed.
"Me neither!" Frankie took out her iPod. "I made an entire Disney Parks playlist for this occasion."
"That's cool," Her little sister remarked, "I can't wait to hear it."
Felicia and Friar Tuck joined their daughters on the couch. "You girls like the suitcases we gave you?" Felicia asked them.
"Yep," Frankie nodded.
"They're great," Shenzi added.
"Well, they were pretty expensive," Friar Tuck told them, "So, put them to good use."
"We will," The youngest girl promised.
"How're you kids getting to Florida?" Felicia asked them, "It's pretty far away from here."
"We're not sure," Frankie shrugged, "Tommy hasn't called us yet. But whether we drive, or fly, it's going to be awesome."
"We'll call you guys when we're out on the open road," Shenzi offered, "Or in the open sky."
"That'd be great," Friar Tuck smiled at their youngest daughter.
"Okay then, we'll try to remember," She nodded, "We both brought our phone chargers."
Frankie's phone suddenly rang from the couch-side table. "Speaking of which," She giggled, before looking at the Caller ID. "Ooh, it's Tommy!" She quickly answered the call, and put it on speaker. "Hi, Tommy! You're on speaker with Shen and our parents. What'd you get?"
"I got us... an R.V.!" He told them with excitement, "And it's not the kind that hooks onto trucks. It's a full-on vehicle on its own! And it's huge! It's longer than my house, both ways!" The teen girls' eyes widened at his descriptions, "I'll let you guys see the rest. I'm picking up everyone from their houses with Dil; I'll be at yours soon, then we'll have everyone. See you then."
"You too," Frankie replied, "Can't wait to see it." She then hung up as he did. "We're going in an R.V.!" She cheered.
"Yeah!" Shenzi cheered with her, "We're going to see the open road right before our eyes! It's gonna be awesome!"
"That sounds great," Felicia smiled, "Just remember to stay buckled in while on the road. Don't walk around in it unless you're stopped on the side of the road, or in a parkin lot. It's against the law to walk in a moving vehicle."
"Okay," Frankie nodded, "We'll be careful. We promise."
Shenzi nodded, before looking around at them. "I wonder what's going to be inside? A bathtub? A full-on kitchen?"
"Who knows?" Frankie shrugged, "We'll have to wait and see."
"I cannot wait!"
"Me neither!"
The girls' hearts leapt with joy when they heard a vehicle stop outside the front door a few minutes later. "Tommy and Dil are here!" They cheered as they practically stampeded outside after grabbing their purses, with their parents following. "Oh my God!" Both teen girls exclaimed loudly at what they saw. Tommy said that it was huge, but it was different seeing it right before their eyes! It looked like it even had a hidden porch deck that could be pulled out! The door was opened, and Tommy walked out with Dil and Chuckie.
"What do you ladies think?" Dil asked them.
"It's awesome!" Shenzi exclaimed.
"You did good, Tommy," Frankie said to the purple-haired boy.
"Thanks, Frankie. Come on girls, let's check out the inside, shall we?"
"Okay," She nodded, "But first, we're going to say goodbye to our parents."
"Go right ahead."
"Thanks." The two girls walked up to Felicia and Friar Tuck, who understandably looked nervous. "Bye, guys." They hugged them in turn.
"We'll be very careful," Shenzi told them, "We promise."
"Have fun, girls," Friar Tuck smiled at them.
"Call us when you can, one of you," Felicia added.
"We will," Shenzi nodded.
"We promise," Frankie added. With that, they walked back to the R.V., and stopped at the steps after Dil walked back in the vehicle. Tommy helped Frankie walk up the steps, while Chuckie helped Shenzi, with their luggage.
Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped at the sight before them, as Tommy closed the door. Not only did the vehicle have fold-out tables, there was also a kitchen with an oven, microwave, stove, and a sink, a bathroom with a shower stall, a small beige cushion table with two spinning recliners, and two fold-out beds in different sizes! "Oh my God," They both breathed out in awe.
"It's amazing, isn't it?" Kimi asked them from one of the recliners, "I had that same reaction." After putting their suitcases with everyone else's, where they were in reaching distance for anyone, the two Tuck girls sat at a booth table by the window, where they could see their house, and their respective boyfriends sat with them.
"Okay everybody," Tommy sat on the drivers' seat, as Kimi sat in the passenger seat next to him. "Buckle up!" After everyone buckled themselves to their seats, Tommy revved up the engine, and started driving. Shenzi, Frankie, and their boyfriends waved to the girls' parents, until they were out of sight.
"Wow," Shenzi remarked in awe, "This is it. We're on our own for the two weeks." Dil, being the math whiz he was, estimated that since they were driving, it would take a full week just to arrive, so they decided to add an extra week for Disney World, with it being how huge it is, and luckily for them, their parents were fine with it. They were all responsible and trustworthy anyway. "Phew," She breathed out, "I'm pretty nervous." Chuckie handed her inhaler to her. "Thanks." She took a couple puffs from it.
"We'll be alright, Shen," Chuckie kissed her temple, "I won't let anything happen to you. We'll all protect each other when it's needed."
"Th-thanks Chuck," She smiled timidly, before letting out a yawn. "I'm pretty tired."
"Me too," Frankie agreed.
"You guys can sleep if you want," Tommy told them, "I can't though, because I have to drive. Hmm... anyone else have their drivers' license?"
"I do!" Dil exclaimed.
"Oh yeah, that's right," Tommy nodded, "So, how about we trade off driving shifts, D? If I get too tired to drive, I'll pull over to the side of the road, and then you take over."
"Deal," Dil gave him a thumbs-up.
Shenzi looked up at Chuckie, and smiled at what she saw on his head. "That's a nice hat."
"Thanks," He glanced up at it, "Mom gave it to me for the trip. I plan on wearing it to the parks in case the sun is blinding."
"Sounds like a plan," She laid on his shoulder as she yawned again. "Man, I'm sleepy."
"You can rest if you want," Chuckie held her closer.
"Thanks, Chuck. Um, can I see your hat?"
"Sure." He took it off his head, and gave it to her. "Why?" He asked her after she thanked him.
"For this." She put his hat over her face and fell right asleep on his shoulder, as he couldn't help but laugh in amusement. She was truly one of a kind.
Frankie had a hand over her mouth to stifle her laughter. "I need to capture this moment." She took out her phone, and turned on its camera. "Smile, Finster." Chuckie laid his head on his girlfriend's, and smiled for her sister's picture. "Wait 'til Mom and Dad see this." She texted the picture to Felicia's cell phone for her and Friar Tuck to enjoy. Once she was done, she put her phone away after turning it off, and gazed out the window. "Wow," She shook her head on disbelief, "I can't believe we have the world right at our feet right now, while we're in the greatest recreational vehicle that ever graced the planet."
"Yep," Chuckie agreed, gazing at the outside world as well, using his love's head to support his, "Hopefully, Shenzi will wake up soon, so she can see too."
"So, Mom and Dad said yes to what you asked them?"
"Yep," He nodded, "I'm going to do it while we're out there."
"Awesome," Frankie smiled, "You have my blessing; You're perfect for my baby sister."
"What're you guys talking about?" Lil asked them.
"Well, if I tell you, do you promise to not tell Shenzi?"
"Cross my heart; Now, what is it? I have a feeling on what it is, but I want to hear it from you."
"Okay, well..." Chuckie leaned over as close as he could to her, and whispered it to her ear.
"Oh my God, are you serious?!" She squealed with excitement, making him panic, "Yes! I can't believe it!"
Shenzi woke up with a small snort, making Lil shut up immediately. "Wha-what's all the excitement about?" She asked them groggily, as she rubbed her eyes and placed his hat in his lap.
"Umm..." Chuckie tried to come up with an excuse, "I uh... I just... showed Lil the resort we're staying at." Luckily for him, he already knew from Tommy, and Lil already knew as well.
"What is it?"
"Let's see..." He turned on his phone, and put up a picture of the resort where its name was shown. "This is it here."
"The Art of Animation Resort?!" Her eyes widened, "Oh my God! I've always wanted to stay there!"
"We're staying at The Art of Animation Resort?!" Frankie's jaw dropped, "That's so awesome! What kind of room are we staying in?"
"Well," Chuckie looked at the selection of themed rooms online, "Because of how big our group is, a standard room is out of the question. And we don't want to be in separate hotel rooms, right?" Everyone shook their heads, including Tommy. "Alrighty. So, a suite would be best."
"Awesome!" Shenzi cheered, "I've always wanted to stay in a suite!"
"Me too!" Frankie agreed.
"But what kind, though?" Chuckie wondered aloud, "There's The Lion King, Cars, and..."
"Ooh! Ooh!" Dil chimed in with excitement, "How 'bout Finding Nemo? They have a pool! The biggest in the whole park! Not to mention the suites themselves have an epic view!"
"Well... alright," Chuckie decided, "We're staying in the CGI ocean," He smirked, "I just made reservations."
"Awesome!" Dil cheered, "The pool has over 300,000 gallons!"
"Whoa!" Phil's eyes widened, "That's a lot of water!" He squirmed in his seat, "I can't wait! I'm glad I packed trunks." The other boys agreed with him.
"And I'm glad that Shenzi and I packed swimsuits as well," Frankie chimed in, and the rest of the girls agreed with her.
"Hey, Tommy?" Dil piped up.
"What's up, little bro?"
"I have to pee," He smiled sheepishly, "Talking about how much water is in that pool doesn't really help."
"Okay then," Tommy nodded, "Let's take a bathroom break." He parked at a gas station, and after he opened the door, everyone piled out. "We can get some snacks and drinks too, while we're here."
"Chuckie, can we get sour gummy worms?" Shenzi requested as Phil and Lil occupied the restrooms, "I haven't had gummies since before I had my braces put in."
"Same here," He shrugged, "Okay, we can get a bag."
"Yay," She smiled.
"Okay guys, the bathrooms are free," Phil announced, "Get 'em while they're fresh." Lil rolled her eyes at his disturbing statement.
"Come on Shen," Chuckie kissed her cheek, "After we freshen up, we'll get some worms for you. Maybe we can share."
"I'd love that," She smiled at him.
After everyone was done, they gathered back in the R.V., where Frankie revealed something that she kept in the refrigerator to maintain edibility. "Awesome!" Phil cheered, "You brought cinnamon butts!"
"Buns, Philip," Lil rolled her eyes again.
"Same thing," He retorted.
"Hey, Tommy?" Frankie came up to him.
"Yeah?"
"Can you plug my iPod into the radio? I have a Disney Parks playlist for on the way."
"Sounds cool. Okay, let me see it." She gave it to him, along with the proper cord. "Thanks." He then plugged it in. "Alright, we are good to go!" He turned to the passengers. "Okay, everyone buckled in?"
"Yep!" They all replied.
"Alrighty then." With that, he started driving the vehicle again. Kimi fiddled with the radio, so it played Frankie's playlist throughout the vehicle.
"Hey Chuck?" Shenzi looked up at her boyfriend, as she held a Trolli's sour gummy worm to her mouth, drawing it in between bites like a noodle.
"Yeah?" He smiled down at her.
"What kind of activities are at The Art of Animation Resort?"
"Here, let me look." Chuckie took out his phone, and started searching for what she wanted to know. "Can you feed me while I do this?"
"Sure," She giggled; She took a worm out of the bag, held it up to his lips, and gently pushed it in for him.
"Thanks," He nodded as he chewed it up. Truthfully, he missed gummies like she did while he had his braces. "Okay, um... well, there's the pool." He swallowed, and Shenzi giggled at his slightly sour expression. "Whoo, that's gnarly. Hmm... there's a giant TV at the Nemo pool. Ooh, an arcade? Awesome. There's fishing at the marinas, and... hey, we can rent a Surrey Bike."
"A what?" He showed her a picture of a Surrey Bike, and she looked interested. "Ooh, that looks fun." The bike was red with a yellow fabric awning over it.
"Yep," He nodded, "We should reserve one day to do those activities, depending on how long it takes. We can relax in the pool, rent a Surrey Bike, visit the arcade, ec cetera."
"That sounds awesome," She smiled up at him, "I can't wait!"
"Me neither," He smiled back down at her, "It's going to be great." He kissed her lips, before they started making out.
"Guys," Frankie piped up, "A little bit much," She playfully teased them, as Bobby was smirking.
"Sorry," Shenzi and Chuckie smiled sheepishly.
"It's okay," She assured them.
"So, pool, arcade, and a Surrey Bike?" Bobby asked them, "Sounds pretty rad to me."
"I'd love that," Frankie agreed, "Once we stop for the night, we'll discuss it with Tommy and Kimi."
"No need," Tommy glanced back at them, since they were at a red traffic light. "I heard you guys earlier; Sounds pretty awesome."
"Yep," Kimi agreed, "It's going to be so much fun!"
"How many parks are there again?" Roxy asked them.
"Looks like 4, not including water parks," Chuckie replied.
"Whoa-ho!" Phil exclaimed, "That's a lot! How many water parks are there?"
"Let me see," The redhead looked it up, "Looks like there's 2; Typhoon Lagoon, and Blizzard Beach. Good thing we packed swimsuits, huh?"
"Yep," Shenzi agreed, "Are they all Disney-themed?" Everyone responded with "yep's". "Cool; Mine is too."
"What does it look like?" Chuckie asked her.
"You'll have to see," She giggled.
"Ohhh, fine," He playfully pouted, before he looked back at the map. "Sheesh, Magic Kingdom sure is far away from the others. We'll need an early start for that one."
Shenzi's eyebrows raised up in surprise upon seeing. "Wow, it is," She agreed.
"We'll discuss more when we stop for the night," Chuckie decided, "That way, Tommy will be able to pay attention without risking an accident."
"Thanks guys," Tommy smiled at them, "Maybe we can stop a tiny bit early for the night on the way and back home, so we can really enjoy this R.V.?"
"I'm up for that," Kimi shrugged, and everyone agreed with her. "Well, that settles that," She smiled to Tommy, "That was a good idea; Some lounging will do us some good. Especially for you." She leaned over, and kissed his cheek.
"Thanks, Kimi," He blushed as he continued driving.
As they made their journey, the group chatted, mingled, kissed, and sang or whistled along to the songs on Frankie's playlist. Chuckie looked up any information that any of his friends asked for, and he and Shenzi shared the sour gummy worms that tasted great, and packed a punch at the same time. Meanwhile, Chuckie thought about the special event he had in mind; He was having a hard time not telling Shenzi. Yep, it was that big. And he was already a terrible liar; He just hoped that she wouldn't ask him about it again. He didn't know what he'd do if the huge surprise was ruined. "Chuckie?" He flinched when Shenzi suddenly, but gently nudged his shoulder.
"Huh what?"
"Are you okay? I asked you a question, and you didn't seem to hear it."
"S-sorry, um, I was just thinking. What was your question?"
"It's okay," She assured him, "I was just wondering if we knew which park we're going to first."
"Umm..." He looked at the map, "Hmm... I have no idea." He showed the map to her. "What do you think?"
"Hmm," She looked at the map in thought, "How about since Magic Kingdom is so far away, why don't we do that last?"
"Sounds good to me," He shrugged, "We'll tell everyone when we stop for the night."
"Sounds like a plan," She nodded, "What rides are there? I'll look it up. Your phone needs a break," She giggled as she took out her own. "Hmm... it looks like there's the Prince Charming carousel, the Peter Pan ride, the Haunted Mansion, the Wonderland teacups, ooh! They have It's a Small World! I love that one! Anywho, there's also a race track, the Little Mermaid ride, the..."
"You don't have to say all of them," He chuckled at her, "Let me look. Your lungs and vocal chords need a break." She gave him her phone, and he saw the list. "There sure are a lot of classics here."
"Yep," She nodded, "Now, let's settle on which one to go to first."
"Right," He nodded, before grabbing his own phone and giving hers back. "Hmm... what about Hollywood Studios?"
"Sounds good to me," She shrugged, "What all is there?" She looked up the Hollywood Studios rides on her phone. "Boy, there sure isn't a lot. We can go there, and then the Animal Kingdom in the same day, how's that sound? We'll have more time for the water parks, and small activities that way."
"Sounds like a plan. So it's settled: We'll do Hollywood Studios and the Animal Kingdom in the same day."
"Awesome; We'll tell everyone when we stop for the night. I'll see what the Animal Kingdom has to offer." She looked at a list of attractions at the said park. "Ooh, they have river rapids! I love those!"
"Is there the Jungle Cruise?" He asked her.
"Let me see," She scrolled through the list, "Hm, that's weird. I don't see it."
"Really?" He looked through the list for himself, and was as confused as she was. "Huh, that is weird."
Shenzi looked at another list, and found what they were looking for. "Ohhh, okay; It's at Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom. I wonder why it's not in the Animal Kingdom."
"Who knows?" He shrugged, "But hey, there's a wildlife train in the Animal Kingdom. That looks fun."
"Ooh, I love trains," She smiled, "Let's do it."
After quite a while of driving, it was starting to get dark out, and everyone was getting tired again, so Tommy glanced back at them. "Okay guys, what do you say we stop somewhere for the night? Hopefully we're near a place that allows overnight parking." Everyone agreed to that, and after spotting a gas station, Tommy parked in it, and walked inside the building. After around a minute, he was back in the R.V. "We're allowed to stay overnight," He told the group.
"That's good," Kimi remarked, "Let's hit the hay."
The group brushed their teeth in turn, and changed into their Disney-themed pajamas. Shenzi had a black Mickey and Minnie Mouse nightshirt with a red v-neckline and red varsity stripes on the short sleeve, super minky pajama pants with a Tsum Tsums print, red and white polka dot Minnie Tsum Tsums socks, and black barbells. Frankie wore white and light grey Tsum Tsums printed one-piece, footless, hooded pajamas with long arms and legs, light pink Disney Parks snacks socks, and pink barbells. Bobby smirked when he saw her in her cute pjs. Kimi was wearing a white cropped t-shirt with purple glitter seashells on the chest, indigo blue super minky pajama pants with a Winnie the Pooh Tsum Tsums print, green and purple Ariel plush socks, black barbells, and red barbells in her extra piercings.
As they waited for fatigue to take over, the gang enjoyed the luxuries that the vehicle had to offer. Dil was spinning on one of the recliners, as Frankie watched him from the other one. Kimi took a shower when she figured out how to work it with help from Tommy after he pumped some water in from a gas pump. Afterwards, he waited for her to finish, so they could explore the vehicle together. They even extended the porch deck out, for those who wanted some fresh air. Chuckie and Shenzi sat out on the deck, just the two of them, with lawn chairs. The gas station lights were all turned off, so the sky was in full view.
"Nice night, huh?" Shenzi remarked, with a blanket on her shoulders from the chilly, New Mexico night air. They were quite a short distance away from the border leading to Texas. "All the stars are out; Aren't they beautiful?"
"Yep," He nodded, "But they have nothing on you." He kissed the side of her head, as she leaned on his shoulder.
"Aww, thanks," She blushed timidly, "Same with you. When you're happy, the stars look dull in comparison to how brightly your eyes shine."
A shy blush grew on his own cheeks. "Th-thanks, Shen." She kissed his lips for a second, only making his blush deepen.
Chuckie was in disbelief that he had such a beautiful, sweet, and overall amazing girl as his girlfriend. He was very happy about that, but at the same time, he felt like she could do better than him. "This'll be the best vacation ever," Her voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He smiled down at her.
"It already is," He remarked, "Um, I-I hate to change the subject, but didn't you want to call your parents?"
"Oh yeah!" She exclaimed, grabbing her phone from her chair's cup holder. "Thanks for reminding me, Chuck." As she pressed the speed dial button for her mother's cell phone, Chuckie ran his hand on her right thigh, over her soft pants. "Like that?" She giggled, with the phone to her ear as she waited for an answer.
"Y-yeah," He nodded sheepishly, "Sorry; I'll stop if you want me to."
"Oh, it's fine," She assured him, "It feels kind of nice, to be honest."
"Okay then." So he started rubbing her leg again, trying not to be a creep. He just thought her pants looked really soft.
At the Tuck residence, Felicia was brushing her teeth in her pjs when her phone rang on her bed. "Ca' 'ou 'et 'a?" She tried to ask Friar Tuck with her mouth full of toothpaste.
"I'm assuming you want me to answer it," He smirked, "Okay, I will." He looked at the Caller ID. "It's Shenzi!" He told her.
"Oh!"
He quickly pressed answer. "Hello, Shenzi?"
"Oh, hi Dad," She greeted him happily, "How are things over there at home?"
"Honestly, it's boring without you and your sister here."
"Aww," She smiled timidly, "Well, we'll be back before long. Two weeks can fly by fast."
"Where are you right now?"
"We're in New Mexico, almost in Texas."
"You went that far already? Wow."
"Yep," She nodded, "Tommy's got a lot of stamina. So um, we decided to go to Hollywood Studios first, and then the Animal Kingdom in the same day, since there isn't a lot in the first one."
"That sounds good. You'd better send pictures to us," He playfully teased his youngest daughter.
"We will," She giggled.
"I uh, I hate to shoo you away, but is Frankie there?"
"Hang on a sec; Chuckie and I are on that porch on the R.V. I'll get Frankie. Be right back, Chuck." She walked in the vehicle, and spotted her sister coming out of the bathroom. "Hey, Frankie? Dad wants to talk to you."
"Oh, he does? Okay then." She took her sister's phone, and held it up to her ear. "Hi, Dad! We're doing good. Did Shenzi tell you our plans already?"
"Some of them."
"Oh, okay. So, you and Mom said yes to Chuckie about... you-know-what?" She asked him once Shenzi was outside and out of earshot.
"We certainly did," He replied, "I think he's the perfect boy for my youngest daughter, and your little sister."
"I agree," She nodded, "I just hope it goes well."
"Me too, but I'm sure it will."
"Is that Frankie?" The blonde teen heard Felicia's voice.
"Yeah, it is," She heard Friar Tuck tell her.
"Can I talk to her?"
"Sure. Frankie, your mother would like to talk with you."
"That's fine." Frankie waited for an answer.
"Hello, Frankie?" Felicia answered.
"Hi, Mom," She smiled.
"How are things going over there?"
"They're good."
"Where are you?"
"We're in New Mexico, bordering Texas."
"Wow! You went far, didn't you?"
"Yep," Frankie giggled, "But so far, it's a lot of fun."
"That's good. What are your plans?"
"Well first, we're going to Hollywood Studios, then the Animal Kingdom in the same day, since according to Shenzi, there isn't a lot in the first one."
"Oh, okay; That sounds good. So, you heard about Chuckie... you know?"
"Uh huh," Frankie's smile grew with excitement, "I can't believe it's that time already. It seems like only yesterday, we were in middle school, and they first re-met. Time flies, huh?"
"It sure does. Um, I hate to shoo you away, but is Shenzi there?"
"Yeah, hang on a second; She's out on the porch." She walked out on the porch, and up to her sister. "Hey, sis? Mom's on the line, itching to chat with you."
"Ooh, really?" Shenzi eagerly took the phone, and started speaking into it. "Hi, Mom!" "Hi, Shenzi. Are you and your friends having fun so far?"
"Absolutely," She nodded, "We're traveling in the greatest recreational vehicle in mankind, and we have the world right at our feet."
"That sounds great. Frankie told me about your plans. Do you know what else you have planned?"
"Well, we found a lot of small activities at the resort we plan on staying in, so we're taking a day to do them."
"What resort is that?"
"The Art of Animation Resort. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before."
"Whoa, really? That sounds like a lot of fun. I heard that it has the largest pool in the whole Disney World resort!"
"Yep, that's what Dil said a bit after we left. We plan on doing time in there."
"Well, send us pictures from your trip, you hear?"
"We will, I promise."
"Okay, Well, I have to go. It's mine and your father's bedtime, and I'm pretty sure it's yours too," She playfully teased her.
"Yeah," Shenzi giggled, "I'm getting pretty tired. We're about to call it a night too, out here. Well, g'night."
"G'night, honey. You all be careful."
"We will," Shenzi promised, before hanging up, and turning to Chuckie. "What do you say we call it a night?" She yawned, "I'm tired."
"Good idea." They stood up, brought the lawn chairs inside the vehicle, and had the porch shrink back in with a push of a button. The couple flopped down in the big bed, which the others let them use, next to each other. "G'night, Shen," Chuckie kissed her forehead.
"G'night, Chuck," Shenzi laid on his chest.
"Sweet dreams."
"You too."
With that, they drifted off to sleep in the large, comfy bed in each other's arms.
(A/N: Well, there you go. You know the disclaimer. I hope you enjoyed this one! Can you guess what Chuckie has up his sleeve? I'd appreciate it if you would keep it out of reviews, to avoid spoilers. Thanks!)
