AUTHOR'S NOTE: And here we are. The day's finale. We hope you enjoy it, we were up past midnight to finish this story. It took a lot of brainpower. It is the fireworks, the special Remember, Dreams Come True Spectacular. If you guys want the host club to watch the very new fireworks special currently in Disneyland to celebrate their 60th anniversary, we can do that.
Before reading this chapter, one has to watch the actual show. So, here is a link: watch?v=Li8ZQjRYlzc It is our favorite video of it, since this was filmed in 2013. Enjoy!
Yes, we know that Katie is trash, because this chapter has a lot of mushy trash. So, here, take her trashy heart and fruit of her labors.
Chapter 29
"He should have been back by now…" Kaoru muttered, anxious. Steph put a hand on his shoulder and gave him a smile.
"Disneyland is one of the safest places to be. Don't worry, he probably just lost track of time. I do that quite a lot." Steph's reassuring words helped calm Kaoru down.
"Nevertheless, he is late." Katie said, looking worried. "We should be there by now…" The host club was currently at the orb in front of Innoventions. Honey, Mori, Haruhi, and Tamaki were pushing the ball back and forth, laughing with delight. Haruhi was the only one slightly worried about Hikaru's absence. Kyoya was with Katie, asking random questions about Tomorrowland to calm them both down. The train pulled into the Tomorrowland station as Kaoru sat down from his pacing.
Suddenly, his phone buzzed and his hand flew to his pocket. He flipped the phone opened and exclaimed "It's a text from Hikaru!" Steph ran to get the group together as both Kaoru and Katie read the text.
"So sorry about being late, im stuck in Main Street traffic, were can I meet you?" Katie read out loud. She hurriedly took Kaoru's phone and began texting. "Meet us near the flagpole where the welcome plaque is. We will be there in less than five minutes." She grabbed Kyoya's hand and gave Kaoru back his phone. They then followed Katie to find out where Stephanie had gone. She was on the train and it pulled out of the station as soon as they all had sat down.
"Well, that was a rush!" Kyoya remarked as he adjusted his glasses with one hand. Katie had taken her hand away from his as she made a quick text.
"Sorry, everyone, this was just to make sure we get there on time. Fix yourselves now, because there will not be time later." Steph said as she fixed her blond hair. Everyone followed her lead in adjusting clothes and such.
"When we get to Main Street, we need to go to the front of the flagpole. A cast member is saving our spots for now. I texted him saying that we are on our way."
"What is this nighttime spectacular and what does it involve?" Haruhi asked?
"Far off places?" Kaoru guessed.
"Daring swordfights?" Mori wondered
"Magic spells!" Kyoya assumed.
"A PRINCE IN DISGUISE!" Honey squealed.
Everyone laughed at the quote that was made. Then Tamaki spoke up excitedly. "Does it include wondrous tales of bravery and adventure? Or maybe dashing princes and glorious maidens?! WHAT ABOUT ANIMALS, DOES IT HAVE THAT? He spazzed and nearly hit Haruhi in the face.
Katie snickered. "All that and more, Host King." Tamaki nearly leapt in joy, but was held down by Haruhi, who was looking slightly annoyed, but mostly excited.
The train pulled into the station and everyone leaped out of the area as the train once again departed. They ran down to the flagpole where they saw Hikaru pacing nervously.
"Hikaru! Over here! Hikaru!" Kaoru waved at his brother before crashing into his arms.
"Kaoru!" They hugged until Steph came from behind and they hugged her too. She then led them to their viewing spot and thanked the cast member there. Everyone was in front of the flagpole.
"So sorry, guys. I got trapped." Hikaru said, sheepishly.
"Well, since its your first time here, I guess we can forgive y-" Katie began, but was cut off by Kaoru.
"But we have to play a punishment game!" All the Host Club members nodded. Katie's eyes widened. Steph doubled over, laughing.
"Okay, any ideas?" Tamaki asked. Katie regained her composure and smiled.
"When we get back to the hotel, Hikaru must serve us all the midnight snack in a Minnie mouse apron. And wear mouse ears." Everyone looked at her in shock. Then bur tut laughing. It was decided on.
Kyoya was admiring how cool the train station looked when her saw a bunch of empty benches blocked off at the entrance. It looked like a VIP section. He continued looking until he saw another train pull up and people started filing into the section. They only had three minutes until the show began. They were obviously VIPs. He scanned the group of people and went pale when he saw one figure surrounded by multiple bodyguards.
"It can't be… Oh, no…" He whispered, his expression pained. Katie, who was by his side and sketching the crowd looking at the castle, put her pencil down when she heard him.
"What's wrong?" She asked, looking back at the station where his gaze was. She saw the person and recognized her.
"Oh, yes. We got a request to escort her around the park for two days, but we were already booked by you guys. Who is she? Is she a problem?" Katie asked in a low voice.
"She goes to our school. Her name is Princess Ayanokoji and she used to be a Tamaki customer. She received a lifetime ban from the club because…" Kyoya trailed off, looking at Haruhi swat at Tamaki for saying something disgustingly romantic.
"Ah…" Katie nodded, understanding. "She doesn't know about our girl here. Alright" Katie fixed her hair and pinned her tour guide badge on her shirt. "I'll be right back."
Katie made her way to the VIP section and immediately went up to the Princess. "What are you doing?!" Kyoya hissed in shock. Then he saw Katie pull the other tour guide aside and her expression became gravely serious. The other tour guide nodded and shook Katie's hand. Katie then bowed to Ayanokoji and left. She waited by the Mr. Lincoln attraction for a little bit. Kyoya breathed a sigh of relief. Katie was very good at what she loves.
"So, what is the show, Steph?" Tamaki asked. They were standing with Honey to the far left, facing the castle, then, from Honey to the right, it went Mori, Haruhi, Tamaki, Kaoru, Steph, Hikaru, and then Kyoya.
"The show…" Steph said with a dramatic pause. "Is a Firework Spectacular."
Just as she said that, Kyoya looked at Katie. Katie was looking at her watch, then looked up at Kyoya. She smiled, and nodded her head towards the castle. Then she snapped her fingers.
As soon as she did that, the entirety of Main Street, U.S.A went dark. The castle started to sparkle as the entire space of Main Street cheered. Mori put Honey on his shoulders, knowing no one was behind them. Kyoya felt a presence next to him and heard a whisper in his ear.
"All taken care of. Follow me after the show. Enjoy." Katie murmured. Kyoya was drawn to the swelling music and soon the castle was enveloped by a bright blush color.
A voice could be heard all over the street, melodious and sweet. "Good Evening, this is Julie Andrews." Haruhi freaked out as both Katie and Steph sighed. They all loved the woman who played Mary Poppins. The voice continued as the castle sparkled. "Once upon a time, there was a magic kingdom, made of hopes and childhood fantasies. A timeless place where every land was filled with wonder. A place where everyone who entered its gates would be given the gift of the young at heart. The power to wish upon a star and unlock its magic."
Every host club member could feel the magic swell in the streets and course throughout their veins. Spellbound, they watched as Julie Andrews asked "Are you ready to wish upon a star?" As she said this, two fireworks that resembled shooting stars lit up the skies. Everyone gasped at this beautiful display and feel something warm in their hearts.
"Then it is time to open our hearts…" Kyoya heard Katie's voice with Julie Andrew's when it continued. Kaoru and Hikaru heard the same from Steph as they all said "And remember… Dreams Come True."
A shiver went down Tamaki's spine as he heard the music change its tune. A child's voice began to sing.
"Star light, Star bright, first star I see tonight…" A collective "Oh!" went through the crowd as melting gold fireworks pored over the castle. It was beautiful.
"I wish I may, I wish I might. Have the wish I wish tonight. So make a wish, and do as dreamers do…" More gentle fireworks rained down over Sleeping Beauty Castle. Two light bronze fireworks erupted, along with more floating ones. The child's voice was so moving, Haruhi wiped a tear from her eye. Kyoya heard a small sniffle come from Katie as she took in the music. Kyoya was moved. How many times has she seen this display? The fact that it could move her all these times was magical. Mori felt a tear fall onto his head. It was then Mori realized that his own eyes were tearing up. The twins just watched, spellbound by the music and faint lights. Steph was softly singing along with the child. Tamaki ached to learn this on the piano.
It continued. "And all our wishes (Wishes…) Will come true." Everyone looked up at the night sky. Wishes will come true… Could it be the same for them? Do all they need to do is ask?
Suddenly, they song became one they all recognized. "When you wish upon a star…" Another shooting star flew across the sky and led to another firework that burst to a blue star with sparkles inside it. Everyone gasped with wonder and awe. "Makes no difference who you are!" It happened again, with another star. Everyone screamed with delight. "This is awesome!" The twins yelled.
"Anything your heart desires will come, to, you…" It happened one more time before everyone realized that the last three words were all on the same note, which gave the impression of pleasant suspense.
Two sparkling streamers came own from the sky, descending slowly as Julie Andrews could be heard again. Kyoya felt Katie shiver in delight. Everyone leaned forward to hear the next bit.
"In 1955, a magical place was born. And in this marvelous kingdom lived many delightful friends who made our dreams come true." Haruhi looked around her. This place couldn't really exist, could it? It was too surreal, too unexpected. But she believed it could. She felt, in that moment, as if she could fly.
"An enchanting place where storybook heroes and daring adventures waited around every corner." Mori looked off at the castle. He had always loved Disney movies because of the heroes and adventures. This place was a place where he could be one of those heroes and adventurous characters. It wasn't pretend. Here, it was real. And it was personal.
Everyone cheered as two more shooting stars came across the castle. Then, three fireworks exploded. They formed a shape of a symbol they all knew. It was a mouse head.
The song continued. "If your heart is in your dreams…" Suddenly, a very familiar character voice came on. "I wish…I could go to the ball!" Haruhi spazzed as she heard her favorite princess's voice and theme music come on. Blue round fireworks dazzled the sky.
"I wish… Someday my prince would come!" Another voice chimed in. Tamaki sighed dreamily. He loved the tale of true love's kiss.
"No request is too extreme!" the song proclaimed. A giggle was heard as well as "I wish…Oh, I wish I could be part of that world." The twins both sighed. They loved Ariel and her journey to find her voice and love.
"I wish… we'd never have to grow up! Off to Neverland!" Kyoya smiled. Never having to grow up and deal with the cruel adult world. It was truly a wish he longed for.
"When you wish upon a star as dreamers do…" A zany whistle blew and everyone heard a boyish giggle rang throughout the space. "Oh, Jiminy, someday I wish I could be a real boy!" Honey laughed. Pinocchio longed to be seen as human. Sometimes, Honey wish others could see him as something other than a baby.
Next, the tune to A Whole New World played. "Genie, I wish for your freedom!" Mori smiled a huge grin. He loved the story of Aladdin and aspired to be as genuine as he is. Also, he wished to help others be free.
As everyone listened to the many wishes of their childhood friends, they heard a loud chorus. "WISHES!" Another star appeared in the sky. Throughout all of this, beautiful fireworks would appear painted in the sky. The story continued.
"Tonight, we are going to share a wonderful dream come true, together." The castle was sparkling once more as Julie Andrews spoke again. The host club cheered. They knew the dream come true they were celebrating. Joy prickled the entire host family.
"In 1955, an amazing man named Walt Disney," the entire audience cheered. Katie gave out a huge 'whoop!' and laughed as the voice continued. "dreamt of a magic kingdom…"
The music swelled to new heights as everyone cheered louder. Even quiet Haruhi and silent Mori could be found waving their hands in the air with joy and childlike abandon.
Suddenly, Haruhi screamed. Everyone looked to see what she was pointing at. Over the castle, to everyone's surprise and delight, flew Tinkerbell with her wand high in the air. It was not an animation, or an AA. It was real. Haruhi jumped up and down, grabbing Tamaki and taking him with her. She felt as if she was flying. She was enraptured by the magic. Everyone pointed and laughed. The castle lit up and the music swelled into something wonderful. Everyone fell silent when they heard it…
"To all who come to this happy place… Welcome." Around the castle, fireworks of different colors went off. Everyone gasped in wonder. No words could describe the emotion everyone was feeling. It was a feeling only total Disney immersion can bring. One of being born again into a world without fault, without wrongdoing, and without imperfection. Everyone listened intently as this long gone, but never forgotten man spoke his wish.
"Disneyland is your land. Here age can live fond memories of the past and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America, with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world." As Walt spoke through time, Tink still flew and fireworks seemed to come out behind the castle through a spectacular display of light and sound. Haruhi found herself crying and dried her tears with embarrassment, looking around to see if anyone had noticed. Far from it. Everyone was staring at the display so intently, they didn't know they had their jaws dropped or had tears coming down their faces. The twins were tearing up. Kyoya actually looked at peace. Tamaki had tears raining on his face, but it was different than his usual tears. It was joyful, but peaceful. Mori had his eyes closed, but one single tear fell from his eyes as Honey had a hand over his mouth and his eyes were alight with hope. Haruhi ignored her tears and continued to watch the magic.
As Walt stopped speaking, the music swelled, Tink flew faster, and a fan of lights erupted from behind the castle. The magical place lit up, then went dark. As everyone cheered, they took a moment to gather themselves together and wonder what was next.
They didn't have to wait long to find out.
Woot woot! A noise came from the castle and one of the spire tops lit up. Hikaru freaked out as he heard "Your attention please. The Disneyland limited, now leaving for a grand circle around the magic kingdom." They heard whistles and train bells as the conductor shouted "ALL ABOARD!" Everyone cheered!
"A tour through Disneyland by fireworks and music?" Kyoya asked Katie with an excited smile. Katie nodded as Honey cheered "YEAH LETS GO!"
Chipper piano music played, accompanied by fireworks. Everyone laughed and danced along from where they were. Some even clapped along. The fireworks were an assortment of red, white, and blue, showing the patriotic feel of the rustic Main Street, U.S.A. An assortment of honks and other noises peppered the display. It was fantastic.
After that, Steph yelled out before the next section started. "READY FOR SOME THROWBACK?!"
"An old, very loved parade. Listen!" Katie quickly explained. Suddenly, the castle flashed an array of lights as techno music played. More fireworks went off as everyone "ooohh'ed and "ahhhh"ed. Then, they heard "DISNEYLAND'S MAIN STREET ELECTRICAL PARADE!" Everyone cheered as the castle lit up again in various colors and fireworks flew through the air. White streaks of lights flew over the castle and everyone gasped in astonishment.
Then, the next segment started. Familiar bird calls and "ole! Ole! It's showtime!" started the next tropical bit. Everyone sang along as the castle became a jungle and beautiful fireworks blasted over the skies.
Then, a thunder sound rang out. Tamaki looked at Haruhi in alarm, but she just continued to enjoy the show. Tamaki just smiled and continued to watch as well. The castle turned dark as they heard "The gods have been angered by all this celebrating."
Suddenly, the castle turned into a yellow rock color. A tremendous growth of music occurred and everyone screamed as fire came from the sides of the castle. Honey screamed as he recognized the music. More fire erupted to cheers. Then, everyone heard "As you enter the Chamber of Destiny, DO NOT LOOK INTO THE EYES OF THE IDOL!" An eye shaped firework appeared as Salah said this. Then, the theme music played to cheers and huge eruptions of fireworks.
"May I just say, MICHEAL BAY HAS NOTHING ON DISNEYLAND!" Hikaru yelled with extreme mirth. Everyone laughed as amazing fireworks poured the sky.
"Oooh, I love this part," Katie squealed in delight. Suddenly, the castle darkened to a deep blue as everyone heard the iconic "Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion. I am your host. Your GHOST host." Everyone cheered as the Ghost Host chuckled darkly.
"Is this haunted room actually stretching?" Suddenly, fireworks rose up from all corners of Main Street and shot straight up, seeming as if the ground had dropped several stories. Everyone screamed with playful fear as the ghost host continued. "or is it your imagination? When everyone looked back at the castle, it had a creepy pattern on it. The host continued as everyone appreciated the Haunted Mansion lighting and amazing fireworks.
Suddenly, the entire castle had ghosts on it. Everyone laughed and enjoyed the segment. The entire place erupted in applause. The famous "Hurry back… Hurry back… Remember to bring your death certificate." Everyone gasped as they saw the castle pulse red.
Suddenly, everything went black. Then everyone heard "Dead men tell no tales."
"YES HECK YES!" Haruhi screamed. Everyone watched in astonishment as huge, cannon-like fireworks fight from either side of the castle. More beautiful explosions colored the sky as everyone watched with joy. The sequence ended with white fireworks coming from behind the castle.
As everyone cheered, the theme music came back on to transition to a new part. The host club took the time to breathe and take a break from cheering themselves hoarse. They watched the beautiful lights tumble from a sparkler and felt the magic grow inside them. It was like no one could blink, in fear f missing something.
After the lovely music came the famous, "So, you're looking for a laughing place, eyy?" Everyone gasped in astonishment as a smiley faced firework appeared in the sky. A couple more showed up and more fireworks came together to create a wacky mashup of Toontown, Splash Mountain, and Fantasyland rides. Mori cheered, Honey laughed, the twins pointed at various displays, Haruhi could not stop giggling, Tamaki could not cease babbling, and Kyoya broke out his notebook to write very detail down, for the author could not get every Disney delight down.
After that gloriously funny sequence came something unexpected. "Remain seated please. Termen sentair sentados, por favor." The host club looked around i
n confusion. Was it over…? No. It wasn't. Kyoya turned his attention back to writing stuff down. Steph, from between Hikaru and Kaoru, told Haruhi to get her camera out. Haruhi did it quickly as a strange noise was heard. It seemed as if the castle was… glowing.
"All personel, clear the launch platform." They recognized it as sounds from Space Mountain. They had made it to Tomorrowland!
A red warning light came on a tower spire as everyone freaked out. Waiting with bated breath, the group leaned forward, but Kyoya was struck by a sudden sketch inspiration. He was focused on his drawing until he heard…
*Dun dun da dun!* Kyoya's pen stopped moving. His head slowly came up as everyone looked at him. No one could see his eyes due to his glasses glint. He remained still, everyone did, as they heard…
"Star Tours announces the boarding for the Endor Express. All passengers, please prepare for immediate boarding."
All of a sudden, as the theme came on, Kyoya flung his hands in the air as his pen and precious notebook went flying. He had an expression of total joy and ecstasy. He flailed his arms around as Haruhi took countless pictures of their cool shadow king acting a complete nerd. Katie caught both the pen and the notebook as she rocked out with her friend. Haruhi got plenty of pictures, capturing their moment.
Everyone enjoyed the wondrous firework sequence and finished the REX throwback all laughing. Kyoya composed himself and Katie tried to hand the notebook back to Kyoya.
"No, please hold onto it." He said, out of breath and slightly panting from all of his vigorous flailing. "I need my hands to cover my nerdings now, besides…" He said, looking at Katie with admiration, "I trust you with it."
The twins spun Steph around. Then both gave her a huge hug. To her surprise, they didn't let go. They held onto her, watching the fireworks continue.
Wish Upon a Star music played once more as everyone watched with bliss. They were totally immersed in the moment. No one was letting this tiny moment go. Julie Andrews came back to finish the show.
"Today, Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom has grown to become the Happiest Place on Earth to millions the world over." No one was doubting that. This place made them so happy. This and Music Room 3 became their homes, even if they had only been in Disneyland for a day, it became something special to them. "A place where anything is possible…" Again, Tinkerbell came flying through the sky. "Where every dreamer can wish upon a star…"
Suddenly, everyone looked to the sky. Honey whispered his wish, hoping it would come true. "I wish… One day, my brother and I can come here… Happy with each other…" A single tear fell from his eye as he made his wish. He put his arm around Mori's head and held his cousin and best friend close.
Mori gazed at the sky, whispering his wish. "I wish… One day, I can protect those who can't protect themselves…" He closed his eyes tight, fighting the moisture in his eyes. Until he couldn't hold it back, so he let them freely fall as he wished hard on that magic star. He felt a hand on his head. Without opening his eyes, he grabbed Honey's hand and held it tight.
Haruhi looked up to the heavens, tears forming in her eyes. Little did she know, Tamaki was doing the same thing. At the same time, they both said "I wish Mom could see this with me…" They looked up in surprise and their eyes met. Haruhi smiled, looked back at Tink flying, and gently clutched Tamaki's hand, wishing hard for both of them. Tamaki's eyes widened, but he smiled and gently squeezed her hand. He let the tears flow, as Haruhi did, as he joined her in wishing.
Hikaru was wishing something in his head as he began to cry. He needed only a glance at Kaoru, who was also crying, and what they held in their arms to know that they were both wishing the same thing. They were surprised when Steph looked up with slightly watery eyes and said what they were wishing. "I wish we could stay here like this forever… In Disneyland of course!" She laughed and looked back at the fireworks. The twins looked at each other, and added something else to their wish. To be like this forever. Close with each other and with friends. They broke their hug and Kaoru grabbed Steph's left hand as Hikaru grabbed her right. All three lifted their heads to the sky and made their wish.
Kyoya looked up at the fireworks, thinking about his wish. His glasses fogged up as he started to weep. Tears steadily poured down his face as he thought about his wish. He murmured it so softly that Katie could only hear bits of it. But he didn't care if she knew. She could read him like a book, but that didn't bother him. It comforted him to know that someone understood and, while she couldn't relate, she still empathized. "I… I wish… I can finally be head of my family, so I can be free… to find my true wish and passion…" he looked at Katie and her smiling, but tear streaked face. He looked back at the sky, resolute. He took her hand and gently clasped it. Katie felt his hand slide into hers and she blushed. But she gave a little sigh of happiness as she thought "I wish that this will last for a while…" She looked at Kyoya, who had one hand in his pocket and one hand in hers. She held his most prized possession. It was more than just holding his stuff, he trusted her to respect it. She knew his wish. And she, with tears not trickling down her face, watched the sky as the climax of the day came upon them.
The song continued as Tinkerbell flew, hopefully making their wishes come true. Everyone had tear streaked faces and no one cared.
"Just believe… Just believe…" Everyone grasped hands. Kyoya and Hikaru, Mori and Haruhi, Tamaki and Kaoru. They believed in the magic as they watched the breathtaking display of mystic wonder.
"Dreams come true… Do as dreamers do…" United, the hosts felt as if they were flying with Tinkerbell. Their hearts were soaring, their spirits free, their wishes were coming true. Utter bliss.
"MAKE A WISH AND YOUR WISH…" Everyone held their breath, lost in the light display.
"…WILL… COME… TRUE." In awe, the friends watched the end of the show, smiling and happy, perfect.
"Remember, dreams come true…" And the host club's final attraction was finished, with a BANG.
