Chapter 30
After the final bit of fireworks, everyone around them was cheering. Before the host club could join in, Katie noticed that they all were holding hands.
"We need to go, pass it down." Katie whispered into Kyoya's ear. He looked startled at her closeness, but nodded and passed it on. Katie then held Kyoya's hand tighter and gently tugged him towards the Mr. Lincoln attraction. Everyone, still holding hands, entered the area. As they got away from the rapidly escaping crowd, they all realized that the regular Main Street lights came back on. Looking around, they realized that they had all been crying and everyone took a moment to wipe the tears away. Everyone dropped hands and awkwardly
"So…" Steph started with a smile on her face. "How'd you like it?"
"Beautiful…" Haruhi whispered. She sat down where the Steve Martin and Donald Duck presentation was and looked at her right hand. It was tingling slightly and was warm. She marveled at this feeling and wondered what it meant.
"Cool!" Honey squealed as Mori set him down. Honey then started skipping around singing the Wishes theme.
"Inspiring…" Mori muttered. He sat down and it looked like he was meditating. He had a wide smile on his face and looked very peaceful.
"Fun!" Hikaru punched the air, grabbed Steph's hand, and turned her in a circle.
"Stunning." Kaoru sighed with satisfaction as he hugged his brother and new friend.
"Interesting…" Kyoya said quietly, as Katie handed his notebook back. He went to sit down and sketch. He had a new idea.
Tamaki, however, stayed silent. He was looking at a picture of Walt Disney. Haruhi looked towards Katie, who was seemingly watching the crowd of people flock to the exits.
"Um, why aren't we leaving?" Haruhi stood up and walked to Katie's side.
"Stay by Mori, Haruhi, please." Katie waved Haruhi to the side with a smile. Her eyes, however, were very serious. "Kyoya recognized a guest here as a classmate of yours. It would be unwise if they recognized you." Haruhi's jaws dropped as she looked to Kyoya. Everyone had heard and was looking at each other, slightly worried.
"It was Ayanokoji. But Katie has a plan, I believe." Kyoya answered just as Haruhi was turning pale. She really didn't like that former guest.
"I asked her tour guide to take her to another nighttime show by train. I had some extra Fastpasses. So, as soon as the train leaves and this crowd subdues, we can leave. And she will be in Disney's California Adventure tomorrow, so she will not run into us." Katie looked out of the window and everyone realized that she was looking at the train. She sighed as she heard the whistle and saw it pull out of the station. "We're good. She's gone." Everyone relaxed and waited for the crowds to go away.
"It was glorious, brilliant, royal, and special! How could one man do all of this?" Tamaki wasn't paying attention to the drama of Princess Ayanokoji, but was gently talking about Walt Disney.
"Because he wasn't alone, Tamaki." Katie walked over to the picture and put her hand on Tamaki's shoulder. "He had a special team of people who were brilliant at what they do. They gave him inspiration and they were inspired by him. And he had the best financer, his brother Roy, to compliment Walt's ideas."
"Sound familiar, boss?" the twins said, teasingly. Tamaki's eyes were shining. If the host club was the Disney Company, he would be Walt. He looked at Kyoya, who would have been Roy. Tamaki ran up to his first friend in Japan and gave him a big hug. Kyoya dropped his notebook in surprise. Katie picked it up to see a beautiful beginning sketch of them all at the fireworks. She looked up to see Kyoya reluctantly hugging Tamaki. Haruhi quickly snapped a picture of this tender moment, despite Kyoya's slight discomfort.
"Thanks for thinking of this, Kyoya." Tamaki said, breaking away. Kyoya nodded and smiled. He took the notebook back from Katie. Tamaki went around hugging his friends as they all waited for most of the crowd to disperse.
After a good ten minutes of winding down, everyone's eyes became heavier. A few yawns were exchanged as everyone realized how tired they were.
"Okay, we can go to the bus now." Katie quietly called everyone out of the building. They all waved goodbye to the castle, thinking about all the fun they are going to have the next day.
Mori saw Honey dragging behind, so he gestured for the older boy to get on his back for a piggyback ride. Steph saw that and sighed. Hikaru noticed and offered to give Steph a piggyback ride. Her face lit up and she took Kaoru's hand to help her up. The three of them laughed as they trotted out of the park. Tamaki pulled Haruhi on his back and, due to her exhaustion, she barely protested. Kyoya simply offered Katie is arm and they supported each other to the bus.
They made it onto the shuttle and everyone collapsed. Katie sent a text to Cast Members who were going to make soup for the group. They were going to have soup before getting into bed. Katie and Steph were staying in the hotel in a different room, making sure they were close by if the hosts needed anything.
Once everyone collapsed, Katie started handing out little notebooks. "These are for you to keep. Write any thoughts or draw memories in there at least before you begin your Disney day and after when you ended it. Which brings the question of if you liked the day." Katie said with a tired smile.
Everyone nodded. They all loved Disneyland. It was truly magical.
"Favorite moments?" Steph asked from her seat between the twins.
Haruhi liked the pirates ride, Mori liked the Jungle Cruise, Honey liked Indiana Jones, Tamaki liked Peter Pan, Kaoru liked Space Mountain, Hikaru liked the train, and Kyoya liked Star Tours. They were are happy, but looked very tired.
They made it to the hotel, where they went up to their suite. Waiting for them was hat soup on the stove with bowls to the side. On the table was a Minnie Mouse apron and a bow.
"C'mon, Hikaru!" Tamaki pushed the items at the twin as everyone tiredly cheered. He put them on with a smile and started serving the soup. Haruhi took a picture to capture the moment.
As the hosts ate their soup and got off of their Disney adrenaline high, the Americans got some Ootori servants to get out everyone's pajamas and bedtime things. After everyone had finished eating, they all took turns in the bathroom and got ready for bed. Once everyone was ready for bed, the sisters started to say goodnight.
"Be prepared for shows and relaxing rides. Get up at the same time tomorrow, but slower paced day." Katie said to the group.
"See you tomorrow!" Steph said, waving with both hands. Simultaneously, the twins each grabbed a hand and kissed it in a Host fashion. Steph blushed.
"Thank you for showing us around!" They said together, smiling. Tamaki bowed before the sisters as Haruhi waved to them both as she walked into her bedroom for a bath before going to bed.
Katie got a hug Honey and a pat on the head from Mori. Kyoya kissed Katie's hand in a gentlemanly fashion.
"Thank you both. Sleep well. Goodnight." Kyoya said smiling. And the smiling girls exited the room as the Host Club went to bed, dreaming Disney Dreams.
