Also, to the reviewer gxfan537, shhhhh... Let me finish this story first. I would love to do a WDW one, since that's where I was when I thought about how the Host Club will react in Disney parks, I just wanted to start in Disneyland first. But yes. Hopefully.
On with the show!
Chapter 55
The fireworks were finished, along with the day, but the Host Club and their friends were not moving along like the rest of the crowd. Katie was wiping her tears away and Steph was blubbering excitedly. The twins had begun to dance around the group manically as Tamaki prattled on about how beautiful the presentation was. Honey was off of Mori's shoulders and was spinning in excitement. Haruhi was using a tissue of Katie's and was wiping her eyes as Kyoya was writing madly in his notebook.
Mori, however, heard something from the speakers above them, but he ignored it, as the rest of the crowd was doing. Some were staying and listening, but Katie was already ushering the group into the shops to weave their way towards the exit.
Kyoya, too, head what was going on, but he decided to leave this surprise for another night, when his own plans were set in motion, a plan he had in the back of his mind all day. He grinned as the full plan mapped in his brain.
Katie knew that everyone was exhausted, after three shows in a row that were very draining. She grinned as they exited the park, waving at the Firehouse window. She noticed that she wasn't the only one to do that. Steph gave a cheeky wink towards the place as Haruhi beamed at the lamp. Kyoya, Tamaki, the twins, and Mori bowed in that direction with Honey waving his goodnight. Katie blushed, pleased that they had taken on her little tradition.
They walked to their car, winding down from their exciting day. Their notepads were still in the car from the morning as they all wrote down their favorite memories as they made their way through traffic from the press. They were silent only for a little while before Haruhi asked, with a yawn, "What is the plan for tomorrow?"
Katie grinned gently. "Sleep in, of course! We'll enter the park at eleven tomorrow, so be ready at ten thirty."
Everyone sighed, exhausted. They loved Disneyland, but they were physically exhausted. A lie in would be nice.
Honey could not stop yawning, something everyone noticed. Mori looked at Kaoru, who nodded. They had a plan with Honey tomorrow.
Steph continued with the plan. "Then, we will see some characters along with Toontown, then see another parade, then, at night, commence our Disney-In-The-Dark challenge."
Everyone cheered at that as they got to the hotel. They walked into the lobby and said their goodnights to the girls.
Mori ruffled their hair and Honey waved as they made their way to the elevators. Kaoru gave both girls high fives. Tamaki bowed to them both as Haruhi hugged them both at the same time.
Hikaru thanked Katie then hugged Steph tightly. He gently let go and said goodnight. She smiled and ruffled his hair. Hikaru blushed a deep shade of red than ran to catch up with his brother who was proudly looking on from the elevators.
Kyoya bowed to Steph before walking up to Katie and gave her a gentle hug. He whispered a thank you in her ear as the elevator dinged. He pulled away and grabbed her hand and kissed it gently as Katie blushed, her face as red as her hair. He then walked to the elevator and stood next to Tamaki and grinned confidently at Katie, his eyes never leaving hers as he pressed the button for their floor. The door shut as Steph gave a long whistle.
Katie looked at her younger sister with a sad smile. "We are in deep, huh?" Steph laughed and linked arms with her best friend and walked to their car.
Once the Host Club got to their room, they all split up to reflect on the day and get ready for bed. No one really talked to each other, due to exhaustion and the fact they all had different things on their minds.
Honey jumped into the shower and quickly got ready for bed in the room he shared with Kyoya and Mori. He snuggled into his bed with Usa-chan and looked out their window, which was slightly lit from the lights of Anaheim. He loved Disneyland, especially the fact that everything there seemed larger than life. From the shows, to the rides, and especially the castle seemed unreal. But his favorite ride was something not huge, but actually tiny. The Storybook Land Canals were small, beautiful, and magical. It seemed unlike any other park Honey had ever been to, because other parks thought big, not small. Honey fell asleep, dreaming of living by the canals in the world next to the people of the land.
Mori showered after making sure Honey was in bed and that he brushed his teeth. After Mori's shower, he got ready for bed and wished the others good night. He wiggled into his comfy bed and looked at his ceiling, pondering the day. It was some of the most fun he had ever had all wrapped up into two days. He looked over to his phone after a while, unable to sleep. So he turned it on to the song they had heard earlier that day, one he had instantly loved when the Dapper Dans sang and danced to it. It was "Old Main Street," and he fell asleep almost instantly upon hearing it, dreaming of his own Marceline Missouri and American Sweetheart, raven-haired and dressed in 1912 fashion, dancing in his arms as the Host Club danced with their own soulmates.
Haruhi then got into the bathroom after Mori was done and decided to take a bath. She filled the tub up, locked the door, and stretched out in the warm water. She sighed contentedly as she relaxed in the water, electing not to take a bubble bath because she wanted to relax her tired muscles and wash. Haruhi looked over at her bed, smiling as she saw her Pirates hat upon it, along with a photo of Jack and Capt. Fujoka. She was humming as she worked, not noticing what the song was until she had gotten out, brushed her teeth, and got into her pajamas. As she put the hat and photo away and crawled into her massive bed, it washed over her as if Tinkerbell was sprinkling pixie dust upon her body. She shivered excitedly and thought of the opening of the fireworks they had seen, especially the phrase 'Step into the Magic.' She had stumbled upon pure magic when she walked into Disneyland. As she thought about it harder, she realized that the magic had materialized when she had stumbled into a vase back in Japan. Magic existed all thanks to Walt Disney and, she realized with a sleepy grin, Tamaki Suoh. Haruhi then fell into a restful sleep with that as her last thought.
Tamaki decided to go straight to bed, unlike most of the Host Club. He could shower in the morning and he simply brushed his teeth, got into pajamas, and crawled into the bedroom he shared with the twins. He tried to get comfortable, but something was buzzing in his skull. He reflected for a moment, laying on his back with his eyes closed. He thought about the day he had and all the magic associate with it. He was happy to get his mouse ears and other souvenirs, such as the magic lamp they were presented with in the morning. But what had stuck with him the most wasn't a ride or even a show. It was the wishing well Katie had taken them to, with Snow White's song. He had always loved the first feature length cartoon, but the well seemed more than a clever theme. It seemed to possess magical properties in of itself. But when he thought about just the well, it lost a lot of the magic. He was wondering why that was as he fell asleep, but subconsciously realized what brought it magic for him when a smiling, singing, and shy Haruhi.
Hikaru took a brisk shower and jumped into bed. He was about to say something snarky to Tamaki before realizing that the King was asleep. He shut his mouth and smiled, thinking about his family. He smiled widely as he thought again on how his family had extended from Kaoru to the Host Club and now to include the sisters, especially Steph. He, like everyone else, was looking back on the amazing day and tried to find a favorite part. He really loved every minute in Disneyland, but one phrase stuck with him from the first parade they saw that day. He thought that this place had to be the most beautiful, the most peaceful place he'd ever been to. It was nothing like he'd ever seen before. This was his family, happy to be time. He felt alive and loved, even if it was just a family love. He fell asleep quickly, excited to see his family the next day in the place that was becoming a home.
Kaoru took a slightly longer shower than everyone else. He walked out of the bathroom and put on the pajamas that matched Hikaru's. He then snuck outside onto their small balcony and into a cushy seat. He pulled his knees up to his chest and looked up at the sky, grinning. He closed his eyes and felt a breeze ruffle his orange hair. He remembered getting up at two in the morning back at their mansion and now, he could imagine himself back home. He opened his eyes and looked at the stars to find that he really was home, in a way. This was different in only one way, in that he now felt enveloped in a sense of magic. He looked up at his constellations with new eyes, seeing the night painted with the things he had experienced those past two days. He heard the opening to a wonderful parade buzz in his mind, painting the night. He stayed there for a good hour, soaking in all his thoughts and reveling in his own delight. Not once did he think of Hikaru or the rest of the club. It was all about Kaoru and his own feelings. He went to bed and fell instantly, thinking of when he could do it again.
The two American sisters took a while to get to their apartment due to horrible LA traffic. Once they did, it was forty-five minutes since they had said goodnight to their guests. They both agreed not to talk about anything involving romance until they were sure of the direction they were taking. They got ready for bed quickly, with Steph taking the first shower. She had loved how everything went down that day, especially all the throwback. Her favorite part had to be reliving the Aladdin show, for that was one of her best childhood memories. Steph went to her room and got into bed, thinking of how much fun the Host Club is, especially Hikaru. She knew she was slightly older than him, but only by a year or two, since she had graduated high school at a young age. He looked irresponsible and a bit of a scoundrel, but she remembered her favorite part of the day. It wasn't what was on the outside, but what was on the inside that counts. Aladdin and Hikaru were very much the same, but Hikaru was much more unsure and selfish. But he was showing his true nature by being very sweet towards Katie and giving Steph most, if not all, his attention. He was a true diamond in the rough. She fell asleep thinking of the next day's extreme adventure and her time with her new family.
Katie grabbed some hot chocolate and took her sleeping medication. She waited for Steph to get out of the shower and then hopped in herself. She was emotionally exhausted, but very satisfied. She loved that day in Disney, but she loved the fact that they were awarded with a banner from the last showing of the Parade of Dreams. She got into the shower and thought of her growing relationship with Kyoya Ootori. He was a few years younger than her, but that didn't bother her very much. The only thing that did bother her was the fact that he was her employer and it was beyond unprofessionalism to have any feelings for him. But she couldn't help it, they were too similar but also different in the best ways possible. He was very sweet to her, but she swore to herself that she would not make any moves herself and that any relationship would have to be stated by him. She smiled as she thought of her favorite part of the night. Kyoya's arms around her as Disneyland seemed to promise that all of it was hers forever. She went to sleep, dreaming of a magical night in Disneyland with someone she was falling for.
It was four hours later and Kyoya still could not fall asleep. He was too engulfed in his drawings, finishing most of them and even began a few more. He added color to a few them then looked at the time, shocked that he had spent forty five minutes making sure the color of Katie's hair and eyes were correct. With a sigh, he decided to get a cup of water. He got up and looked back at the picture he was just working on with a smile. It was the Fantasmic show, but it was Katie and Kyoya watching the show as if it was a dream. Her eyes were sparkling and the same phrase kept repeating in his head 'Some Imagination, huh?' He felt that resonate in his soul, thinking how that statement applied to many people that he had discovered these past few days. The first was Walt Disney. Fantasmic! wasn't Mickey's dream, but Walt's and Disneyland was the fantasy. The next was himself, as he realized that he was a creatively inclined person, especially with his artwork and his attention to all the details that embodied Disneyland. The third, and the most important to him, was Katie. With a sigh, he had to think about what she meant to him after three days of knowing her. She was lively, vibrant, and very intulectual. But she was so creative in her thinking and he could never tell exactly what she was thinking, but that excited him. Katie understood him without pushing him, and she was beautiful too! Her age was no matter to him, neither was her humble beginnings. If he wished for a relationship with her, his family would approve due to her connections with her family's bank. He went to bed thinking of her, and dreamed of the power of the imagination.
