Chapter 50
Steph was excited, for this was the into to her Disney In The Dark challenge. They would go on each thrill ride she chose twice in the daytime and then do the challenge after dark, preferably right before the park would close. Those who wanted to do the dark challenge would do it tomorrow.
"So, what rides are we going on?" Kaoru asked the guide.
"Well, we need to ride every thrill ride possible in the hour we have. Normally, when we have time, we ride them twice." Steph explained quickly, rushing her group to Adventureland. "First up is Indiana Jones, lets go!"
So Honey, Steph, and the twins got to Indy and, with the help of Steph's shiny badge, they got to the front of the line within five minutes and strapped in. As they were waiting to get on their way, Steph had a few rules concerning her challenge.
"Rules? Who are you, Kyoya?" Hikaru asked, teasingly. Steph flashed him a pout and then laughed.
"First, keep your arms up as much as possible. Second, scream when possible and when necessary. Finally, have the best time ever!" With that, the ride started and everyone started to cheer!
With everyone finding it easy to stick to the rules, they rode in five minutes and everyone quickly rushed to the next destination, which was Splash Mountain.
"When do we scream on this ride, Steph-Senpai?" Honey asked as they go into the logs.
"On the drops. In this case, we sing along as much as possible." She laughed and started humming the tune as they were launched.
Since this group had no weaklings, none of them needed ponchos. Besides, it was warm enough to comfortably dry without them. They screamed on the drops and sang loudly throughout the rest of the ride.
After Splash, they went to dry off by means of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Screaming and cheering all the way, Hikaru found time passing like a Disneyland commercial, fast yet amazing. He was also noticing how much his arm were getting a workout due to holding them in the air so much, but it was worth it.
After three rides and twenty minutes, they made their way to Space Mountain. Steph bought the group some waters to drink on the way, for their throats were starting to get sore due to all of the laughing, singing and screaming.
They made their way to Space Mountain and rode into the galaxy. Kaoru nerded out in the stars and started screaming out names of constellations while Hikaru and Steph laughed at his antics as Honey screamed random things in the abyss of space.
They then rode Star Tours, entering from the exit and skipping the hour line. This time, however, Hikaru turned out to be the rebel spy. So Steph and Honey freaked out, telling the stormtroopers to leave their Hika-Chan alone while Kaoru pretended to be really shocked and offended for not knowing this about his twin. For example, when the group ended up on Hoth, Kaoru screamed "Its so cold!"
"Yeah, Kaoru, its an ice planet, dummy!" Hikaru yelled back at his brother.
Kaoru gave Hikaru a pretend icy glare and shouted "No, I mean YOU keeping secrets from ME!"
Steph couldn't help but burst out laughing at their banter.. Honey added to it by yelling "STOP BICKERING AND LETS GOOOO!" As they made the jump to lightspeed.
Steph had a hard time keeping her arms up due to trying to control her laughter. The twins kept this line of fake fighting throughout the ride to keep Steph laughing.
Kaoru couldn't help but notice how Hikaru would look at this American girl, with a respect many didn't get from the crazier twin. He also realized that Hikaru hadn't looked at Haruhi like he looked at Steph and everyone had thought he loved the secret princess! If they thought that was love, Kaoru wondered what his twin's true feelings were.
As they left Star Tours, Kaoru kept on thinking. Obviously, Tamaki was meant for Haruhi and vice versa, Kyoya and Katie seemed to be aa match no one had expected and one that would be fun to see play out, but he wondered where it would leave him if Hikaru really liked Steph. Kaoru really liked Steph, but didn't love her like Hikaru seemed to, so there wasn't any objection to Steph.
For a moment, his old theory/fear resurfaced until he heard a faint whistle. It was the train at the Tomorrowland Station and Kaoru was reminded of when they all rode the train together. Their family situation wouldn't be a breakable spell, but a truth. He would get along fine if Hikaru was happy, especially if Steph and Katie were involved. Even though they had only known the girls for about three days, it felt like an eternity. Fate had brought them together.
Honey had come to the same conclusions as Kaoru and ended up walking beside the boy deep in thought. Honey nudged him and gave him a reassuring smile. Kaoru smiled back, knowing that Honey was on the same wavelength and would have his back as well as Mori. That thought gave him some piece of mind as he looked at Steph and Hikaru skipping ahead to the Matterhorn.
They all enjoyed riding the Matterhorn and yelling at the yeti. That ride passed quickly and, for their last ride, they rode on the Astro Orbiters, which was a higher version of Dumbo that had rocket ships instead of elephants. They all rode their own ship and yelled with child-like abandon.
By that time, it was five twenty five, so the group made their way to the hub, where they had promised to meet the other group.
When they got there, they arrived just as Katie's group did. Steph noticed how refreshed and prepared Katie's group was and also that Katie's face was slightly flushed. Kyoya seemed reluctant to leave her and join Steph's group and the younger sister knew that she was going to talk to her sister about this development.
Katie noticed how worn, but happy, the other group was and she smiled. She would give them a refreshing time while her last group would be ready for dinner in an hour. They agreed to meet up at their dinner location at 6:30 and they split off.
The two groups highly enjoyed the time spent and found themselves outside Pirates of the Caribbean at the appointed time. Everyone was starving and looking forward to a more formal dinner as the sun began to set over Disneyland.
