AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey, all. Katie here with a couple of things.

First, I went Disneyland recently. OH MY GOODNESS DID I LEARN A LOT. Saw a lot of cool things so you can expect to see them in some way, shape, or form in the coming chapters. (The Pin Trading stuff, for example. I didn't know how intense it all was until I tried it. Im now addicted.) I also saw Fantasmic! for the first time in many years and I had a prime seat for it! When I get to that, IT WILL BE A LONG CHAPTER I AM TELLING YOU. Wow, I had fun.

Second, I want to thank you all for your suggestions and feedback. They have greatly inspired me and, as we are ending our first Disney day, your suggestions will soon become stories! I'm super excited.

Third, as mentioned in a previous update, we will be going on Hiatus. Actually, we already should be, but I had chapters I wanted out there before I moved onto the climax of the day. So, after this chapter, Hiatus starts. I hope you all stay with us as we end another school year and I graduate high school. Man, it will be great to be free. Our Hiatus ends on June 10th, so please come back then. We will end day one within that week, so don't miss it.

Fourth, Tomorrowland was a good movie. Wonderful Disney references along with a decent plot. (I nearly cried when There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow started playing). Just putting that out there.

Lastly, thank you all very much. I have greatly enjoyed writing this so far and reading your responses. More surprises are on the way, along with some familiar faces, so please stay with us.

Here is the story!

Chapter 27

KATIE'S EXPERIENCE

Katie was quickly approached by Kyoya once the group broke off. He wanted to see Star Tours at his own pace, mostly skipping the outside line. So she was able to talk to the cast members and let them know of their plans. She showed them her tour guide badge and was granted access to the interior fastpass line. The inside consisted of a huge screen, proudly displaying various Star Wars Galaxy tourist spots. She pointed out a few fun facts and hidden Mickeys while in the room. They then stood watching the ongoings of the line and the screen for a good fifteen minutes. Katie loved watching the guests. They seemed so happy, even if they had just spent forty minutes in a line. She watched people marvel at the beauty of her favorite place. She was always smiling because she was always happy here.

Katie soon turned her attention to what Kyoya was doing. He had a narrowed look on his face and seemed to be concentrating. After Kyoya closed his book, Katie held out her hand.

"May I?" She asked. Kyoya hesitated for a moment, then handed his book to her. Katie smiled. He knew that she could be trusted. She opened the book delicately and the first thing that she saw was a beautiful sketch of the pirate's ride. He even sketched out each host club member and the sisters. The twins had Steph in chains, like the "Wench for a Bride" auction as the girl had a wide grin as she sassily stuck out her tongue. Katie chucked at how well Kyoya had captured her sister's likeness. Tamaki was sword fighting Mori as Haruhi and Honey had jewels all over them. Katie was enraptured by Kyoya's picture of himself. Kyoya was positioned on a ship with his sword outstretched, like Captain Barbosa was. It was like he was a pirate captain out of her dreams. The picture that made her choke up, however, was his image of her. She was sitting on a rater elaborate throne next to Kyoya. Like Jack Sparrow was at the end of the ride, she was covered with many treasures. She had a clever glint in her eye and a beautiful smile. She seemed to be singing. Katie stared in awe at her image. She was beautiful in the picture and she teared up.

Does he think I'm this pretty? Katie asked herself. She gave Kyoya a quick look to see if he had noticed her tears. He had turned to look at the new action that seemed to be occurring with C3PO and R2D2. She flipped through the book and saw similar sketches. There was the Mark Twain, Tiki Room, and Tarzan's treehouse, along with some others. She saw a few unfinished sketches. All were beautiful and amazing. She closed the book with care and handed it back to the shadow king.

"Impressive. You could be an artist." Katie said with sincerity. She saw a glint of sadness in Kyoya's eyes as he took back the book. Katie continued, knowing what the sad look in his eye meant. "After you become the Ootori successor, of course. Then it will be a nice hobby to have." Kyoya's jaw went slack. Katie glanced at him. He was actually blushing! Katie stifled a laugh. She was really getting through to the icy Shadow King.

"How are you so sure that I will become my family's successor? I have two older brothers, you know. I am only the third son." Kyoya said, forcing his old composure back. Katie wasn't convinced. She pondered for a moment before realizing the truth. Kyoya doubted himself. He never had someone cheering for him before, besides the host club. Even then, they most likely didn't know his doubts. Katie knew what to say. She believed in Kyoya.

So, Katie looked at Kyoya in astonishment. "They may be older, Kyoya, but you are filled with such passion and drive, how could you not be? Smart, composed, passionate, driven, and, may I say, very handsome. If you dream it, you can do it. Imagination is a powerful thing, you know. You'll do it. I'm sure of you. At least, I'm on your side."

Katie ended her little speech by moving a little closer to Kyoya. With delight, Katie noticed that he unconsciously moved a bit closer to her.

Kyoya seemed touched and he looked down at his friend. "Thank you…" he said, quietly. Katie saw how unguarded and relaxed it was. Maybe it was time for some answers to her questions.

She looked Kyoya straight in the eyes and went for it. "No one know this but Steph and myself, but these tickets were for the Ootori family. Why did the host clubs come instead?"

Katie thought she knew the answer. Kyoya avoided her gaze. "My father had business and could not take the time off." He responded quietly.

Katie understood. "Or it would not normally be something he would do?" His family's business is their life, so Mr. Ootori wouldn't take a family-oriented vacation to a 'childish' place, especially when the family was in constant competition with each other. Kyoya nodded.

"Maybe I did bring the Ootori family with me here." Kyoya said with a smile. Katie laughed. They really did seem like a family. Especially with Tamaki always calling Kyoya 'Mommy'.

As they watched the going ons of the interior, Katie reflected on how much she loved the details Disney put into their work. Without Kyoya noticing, Katie slipped out a small notebook from her pocket along with a small pencil. She began sketching Kyoya's face in profile. She knew it was going to be a rare piece because Kyoya did not often look so vulnerable or generally happy. He seemed to be in a state of bliss. Katie waited for awhile before leading Kyoya into the next section of the line.

Together, they laughed at the robots and enjoyed the experience. They moved on, with Katie managing to get them on the ride for three consecutive times. They did go to Hoth once, but Katie was fine with that. Kyoya's enthusiasm for each section, even if they had scene it before, was unmatched. He was a little kid for the first time and was enraptured by the Disney magic.

They went into the shop and Katie watched as Kyoya abandoned all composure completely and ran around looking at all the Star Wars merchandise. After a few minutes of complete chaos, Kyoya finally started to calm down. He ended up standing by the trading pins in confusion. Katie helped him out in getting some pins and they started trading with cast members. After that, the two went to Buzz Lightyear and kicked everyone's butt again. Katie smiled. Her favorite part of the night was about to begin.
