AUTHOR'S NOTE: Some bad news, guys. Due to my more restricted schedule, I will only be posting once a week on Wednesday. So sorry, but here.

Chapter 49

The group of Disney enthusiasts made their way near the front of the Matterhorn, away from the line.

"What's next on our list?" Haruhi asked, looking a bit tired. Steph looked at her sister and nodded. The younger sister knew what Katie wanted to do. Some Hosts were looking tired and others looked restless, excited for more attractions.

"Haruhi, Tamaki, Mori, and Kyoya shall come with me. Honey, Hikaru, and Kaoru will go with Steph." Katie said in such a tone that left no room for argument. Mori touched Honey's cheek before going to stand next to Kyoya. They split off as Steph explained what they were going to do.

"So, we have a 6:30 appointment for dinner, but, in the meantime, we will split up and for an hour, then switch groups. See you at Five Thirty, guys!"

And she was off, with the twins and Honey hot off her trail. Katie smiled as her group looked up at her.

"Is the the educational group?" Kyoya asked. Katie nodded and explained their reasoning.

"This group of people looks a bit tired, so we decided that Steph will lead a group of more energized individuals while we take a moment and appreciate some history."

So they headed to Main Street by the way of Tomorrowland train. They passed Tomorrowland as Katie asked her guests some questions.

"Haruhi, do you know what year Tomorrowland represented when it first opened? It opened in 1955, so what year was Tomorrowland based off of?"

Haruhi thought for a moment, then shook her head. Mori raised his hand.

"1986." The hosts looked stunned at this certain answer. Katie just grinned and asked him why.

"It was the year Halley's Comet was supposed to return Kaoru mentioned it yesterday. In line for Space Mountain." Mori softly explained. Katie led the group in applause for Mori's impressive answer.

They passed the line for Star Wars when Haruhi suddenly shrieked. She pointed to the building where the outside line was and the hosts saw a real life Stormtrooper! It poked its head outside from a door and then disappeared.

Kyoya wanted to barge through the door and take a picture with him, but a gentle touch on his shoulder stopped him. Katie smiled up at him and explained.

"He was probably just getting ready for his performance soon on the Tomorrowland Terrace. They do a Jedi Training Academy for smaller guests. There is a small tunnel here that goes from that spot to the stage. You can watch that later in the week on your own time."

Everyone agreed that it was very cool. They continued on.

As they went past the diorama on the train, Katie explained that it was the longest in the world.

"How long?" Tamaki asked, curious. Katie responded with three hundred six feet of beautiful art. Everyone was stunned.

They made it to Main Street, which was fairly busy. It was fine and Katie took them halfway down Main Street before leading them to a porch on the right side of the street. It had a Three rocking chairs and a small bench. Kyoya, Katie, and Mori claimed the chairs while Haruhi and Tamaki sat on the bench.

Katie went off to grab the group some soda and passed them out as they enjoyed the shade and people watched.

Katie pointed out some windows that were tributes to people who helped Disneyland become a reality. They rested for only a few minutes as the Disneyland Band marched by. They finished their sodas and continued on. Mori and Kyoya stood side by side with Katie as Tamaki and Haruhi lagged behind. They were showered with many tidbits and facts as they walked through Sleeping Beauty castle. They saw the spike that was rumored to mark the center of Disneyland.

"But, its not the center?" Kyoya asked in confusion.

"Nope." Katie shook her head. They were quite a sight peering at a spot on the ground under the castle.

"Then what purpose does it serve?" Haruhi asked, puzzled.

"Well, I think It was used to make a perfect line between the castle and the hub. Make sure it was aligned correctly." Katie was never sure about this spike. It had way too many theories, from simple cosmetic theories to conspiracies involving Walt Disney's dead body.

"That makes sense, but why do people say that it's the center of Disneyland?" Tamaki asked, appalled that such lies were told and accepted.

"Cast members get tired of being asked why this is here and answering that they don't know, so someone must have made it up and some people accept it as a fact." Katie understood why they would do that, she didn't have to like it.

Instead of walking straight into Fantasyland, Katie said that there was a special place she would like to show the group. She turned left after going through the castle and through a side path. Hidden behind structure and foliage was a beautiful well. Behind the well, facing the castle, was a lovely waterfall with marble statues of the seven miners and on top was the fair Snow White.

"How beautiful…!" Haruhi whispered in shock. Tamaki was enchanted by the statues, breathless. It was a tranquil place, almost separated from the busy park. Only a few people were back there. Kyoya tilted his head up, eyes closed, to be captured by the lovely music playing. Katie noticed a certain music cue, so she gently summoned the group around the well.

"Do you want to know a secret?" she whispered. The nodded. "Promise not to tell?" They nodded again.

"We are standing by a wishing well." She half-sang, half-recited the song from the first Disney Princess movie.

"Make a wish into the well, that's all you have to do." She was mostly singing now, directing the song mostly to Haruhi. Haruhi looked in the well and smiled. She did know this song, and the lyrics were not difficult, nor were the notes.

"And if you hear it echoing, your wish will soon come true!" Katie then sang into the well.

"I'm wishing!" she sang. Suddenly, as if the well hear her, it responded in Snow White's sweet voice. "I'm wishing!"

Everyone gasped, astonished. Really, it was just a loop that happened every once in a while if one looked out for it. But to the group, immersed in Disney wonder, magic was making Katie's wish come true. They all leaned into the well as well, taken by the singing.

"For the one I love, to find me! (to find me!) Today! (Today!)"

The music was beautiful and sweet, romantic, even. It filled the senses of all that listened on. Katie gave Haruhi a nudge, who began to sing as well. The well would respond to their wish.

" I'm hoping! (I'm hoping!) and I'm dreaming of the nice things (the nice things) He'll say (he'll say!)

Haruhi paused as Katie sang notes into the well, which threw them back at her. Mori glanced over at the other two men and nearly broke the silent spell and laughed. Both Kyoya and Tamaki stood behind the ladies, stunned. Tamaki was watching Haruhi with a dreamy expression on his face while Kyoya was looking at Katie with a fond, almost tender expression. These men were obviously entranced by these ladies!

The said ladies did not show if they noticed the attention given by their male companions, but Katie defiantly felt Kyoya's eyes on her while Haruhi was oblivious as always.

They sang more of the song. "I'm wishing! (I'm wishing!) for the one I love, to find me (to find me) Today!"

Normally, at least to Katie, that last note would mean the song was over, but the two girls were surprised.

A wonderful sound came out of the two males staring at the maidens. "Today!" Haruhi gasped as she looked at them while Katie gazed at Kyoya, surprised. Kyoya felt a little bit of pride for taking Katie off guard for once, but he mostly felt an unfamiliar warm feeling spread in his chest. Tamaki turned bright red and turned away, babbling to Mori about the wonderful story of Snow White while Haruhi looked back at the well. She took out a small coin and dropped it in with a smile. This went unnoticed by anyone except Mori, for Katie and Kyoya seemed to be having a gentle staring contest. Kyoya walked up to Katie, very close to her, took out a coin slyly and dropped it in the wishing well. All the while, he was gazing into the American's eyes. She blushed, but her eyes never waved. She was curious about what he was doing. Kyoya then offered her his arm and she took it. They began to walk away.

She took one moment to look back at the simply beautiful well. She smiled. She really believed it had to be magic, for her wish was coming true. As they walked past Fantasyland and into Frontierland, Katie thought about how her sister was doing.
