Author's Note: Hello! Just a fun little chapter, something that I love. Lets read on!
Chapter 46
They all walked to the Toontown Train Station. Katie said that, due to the parade, trying to walk through Main Street would be difficult. So they took the train and ended up in the Disneyland Emporium to purchase some Mickey Mouse Ear Hats.
There were shelves full of Mickey Mouse Hats, covering an entire wall of the shop! There were a lot of different kinds of hats with many different themes. The Hosts now understood why the girls set aside so much time for picking hats. Trying all on would take a while!
"We need to take this one person at a time." Steph said, looking objectively at the foreigners in front of her. "Who should go first?"
"How about I will find a hat for Mori and you find one for Honey?" Katie grinned, pulling Mori to a bunch of hats. Steph nodded and began to look for a hat for Honey.
Mori didn't take long to find a hat, for he fell in love with a Goofy hat. It wasn't a traditional hat by any means, but a floppy eared Goofy themed hat. He put it on his head with a silly smile, unlike any smile his friends had ever seen. When Honey saw his cousin with the silly hat, the oldest host laughed himself silly. Mori did look funny, which was unusual for him. Mori took it in stride and purchased his hat. He had his name sewn on the back of the hat.
Honey looked at many hats, from character hats to Disneyland 60th anniversary hats, but couldn't find one he loved. That is until Steph showed him the princess hats. He ended up choosing a pink sparkly hat with a tiara and pink sparkly veil. He looked adorable!
"Wow Senpai!" Hikaru managed to say without laughing.
"You look like a Disney prince!" Kaoru smirked.
Honey turned around to face the twins with a serious expression. "Excuse you, but…" He snapped his fingers while sassily saying "I AM A PRINCESS!" He then turned and pranced away, smiling at his new hat. Everyone laughed.
Katie then took Haruhi to find her the perfect hat. They looked for a little bit before Katie spotted the perfect hat for the girl. Something she could wear at the club and not be found out, but something that fit her personality.
"Here, try this one, you'll look like a proper Mousketeer!" Katie said as she fixed Haruhi's hair to fit the hat. She put Haruhi in front of a mirror and Haruhi's eyes lit up. It was a traditional Mickey Mouse Hat. She looked so cute with her hat, Tamaki turned bright red when he saw her.
"HARUHI YOU ARE ADORABLE!" He squealed as he embraced her and spun her around.
"Senpai, stop it! I need to get my name sewn on it." She managed to pry Tamaki off of her and go up to the register. Tamaki insisted on paying for it.
Steph then turned her attention to the twins. It took a while to find something, for they wanted something really special. They looked around for a while before coming to an interesting display.
"Glow with the Show Ears, what's that?" They asked Steph in unison. She looked over at the display thoughtfully.
"They're a special kind of hat, one that is interactive. During Nighttime shows, such as the fireworks, they glow along to the music."
"What really?" Hikaru asked, surprised.
"That's cool!" Kaoru replied.
"Yeah, and when there is no show going on, the ears glow a rainbow of colors. It's very cool…" Steph trailed off then grabbed two and put them on the heads of the twins. She fixed their hair and showed them the mirror. They thought it was cool and decided to get them. It looked a bit silly, as the hats contrasted with their red hair, but they were really excited to see the hats in action.
Katie turned to Kyoya, who grinned. "I leave myself in your capable hands, Katie."
She smiled back. "Well, I hope to find the perfect thing for you, Master Ootori." The twins gagged at this not-so-concealed flirting.
Katie led Kyoya over to a group of hats, all Star Wars themed. Kyoya tried a lot on, but decided to settle on a C3PO gold hat. He went to have the hat sewn on. Since the people working the sewing machines had a lot of hats to do, they were told their hats would be done after the parade. So, everyone decided to look around the shops to kill time.
Katie was on Kyoya's arm, as per her usual now, when she heard sweet singing. She gasped and basically dragged Kyoya out of the Emporium and towards the firehouse. There stood a very well-known quartet. It was the Dapper Dans!
Steph had heard the music too and rounded everyone up so everyone could watch this show. The four men were singing and doing their act, very sweet and great.
One of the men, the one in yellow, saw the sisters and nodded to them. After a few songs, the one in blue, walked up to the group.
"Do you have any requests, lady?" He asked Katie, who grinned. She sometimes joined the Dapper Dans in their practice sessions for fun. She knew what they wanted her to request.
"Old Main Street, please." She grinned up at him. They started to sing.
"Main Street… Main Street… Meet me tonight at Main Street." The one in Orange held out his hand to her, as they would during practice. The one in Red went to Steph, who occasionally went to these practices.
As the four men started to pick up the tempo of the song, they began to waltz with the girls, switching partners as they did. The audience loved it. The Hosts could tell that there was no romance with the Dans and the girls, just professionalism and a hint of friendship. It was all in good fun.
As the song concluded, the men bowed to the girls. The two resumed their position watching the show, which was about fifteen minute long and very funny.
As a finale, they did an acapella musical tour around Disneyland, singing the Pirates song, Small World, Haunted Mansion, and more. Everyone applauded when it was finished. The group stayed behind to get pictures with the quartet before picking up their hats and making their way, through the shops, to their spot for the Parade!
Author's Note: I, Katie, had a unique experience with the Dapper Dans. They were doing a tap routine where each one would sing a line of a song then do a tap move. Once the final one did it, he pointed to me, as if I was to start tap dancing. Little did he know I have been trained in tap since the age of six, so II busted an extreme move and shocked him! I got a round of applause for it. Man, they are great!
One last thing. Next week, I will be making a return trip to our favorite place before going off to college. I am more than a little excited for it, especially since I am going during Dapper Day! So happy. Anyway, please R&R, it really helps motivate me to write more. THATS ALL!
