Author's Note: Hey everybody, I am so sorry for these delays. I was in a musical that wasn't worth the time and I went through a horrendous breakup with my boyfriend of three years who decided to dump me. Oh well, you know what they say. "Perhaps it was just as well that (Cinder)Ella's Stepsisters were cruel, for, had she not run to the forest, she might never have met the prince." (2015 Cinderella)

But I digress. In the last week, I have a lot written and ready for posting, so we shouldn't have this huge delay again. On with the show!

DAY 3

Chapter 56

The night came and went quickly once everyone had fallen asleep, with Kyoya going to bed at two-thirty. The first up was Tamaki, and he decided to get ready for the day. He showered and got dressed then went out into the living space and turned on the television. He was quietly watching Mary Poppins at six-thirty and watched from the window as the sun rose over the California. The next to wake was Mori, who got ready for the day at seven and went out to the living area to go some basic exercise before making pancakes for everyone. Haruhi got up and got dressed and ready and helped Mori with making pancakes and made herself some tea, a special brew of Alice in Wonderland tea that Katie made sure they took with them. After grabbing some food for herself and Tamaki, she joined him in watching the movie.

After a few minutes, after smelling Mori's famous flapjacks, Honey awoke and made himself hot chocolate and joined Tamaki and Haruhi. They were talking about how amazing Julie Andrews is as Mary Poppins, which made Honey grin. He hadn't forgotten his plans concerning the two and that was going to be enacted that night, but he was too excited to meet characters.

The next to come out dressed and ready was Kaoru, who was sporting his Mickey hat and a huge grin. He knew Hikaru normally talked in his sleep whenever he traveled, showing how stressed he was, but Hikaru had slept so peacefully that Kaoru actually checked his pulse in the middle of the night. But Disneyland was doing a number of good on Hikaru, something that was greatly pleasing his twin. Both were very happy and fun, which was a good thing for everyone. He got some food as the movie ended, since it was nine o'clock, and he suggested that they watch some old Mickey Mouse cartoons, since they were going to meet the mouse himself soon. Everyone in the room thought it was a great idea. They watched a few memorable ones, such as The Band Concert, Thru the Mirror, Mr. Mouse Takes A Trip, and the classic Steamboat Willy.

Around nine-thirty, Hikaru cheerfully got himself breakfast and joined the group, all dressed and ready to go. Everyone stifled laughs behind hands at his cheerful behavior, for they could tell he was excited to see Disneyland and a certain blond American. He was also wearing his Mickey hat, which prompted everyone to go grab their own hats.

As Mori cleaned everything up, knowing Kyoya will grab an apple or something like that, he went to grab his hat along with Honey's back in the room with Kyoya. He entered the room quietly, but saw that Kyoya was up and dressed. He nodded at Kyoya, who was sorting through his papers from the last two days. Some were notes, but most were drawings and sketches. His notebook, which seemed magical in the fact that he seemed to never be out of paper, had become very slender. Mori grabbed Kyoya's hat from the messy floor, littered with papers. Mori couldn't hide his grin when he saw that many of the papers were of a certain person. They were good, but apparently Kyoya was being a very hard stickler for details, making sure the sketch had to be perfect.

As everyone grabbed their hats and watched the last of the cartoons, Kyoya went to the living area and grabbed some hot chocolate and an apple, eating quickly, it was ten-fifteen and Kyoya was in a bit of a rush.

"Kyoya, we still have fifteen minutes, there is no need to rush the time, my friend." Tamaki quietly explained to him. Kyoya sighed and nodded.

"You're right, Tamaki, but I do with to be down there as soon as possible." He smiled down at his notebook, which was clean and sorted, but lost a lot of papers.

Tamaki laughed in understanding. He could see that many of them were eager to head out now that they had a good rest in them. Tamaki was also ready to go so he simply turned the TV off and got his shoes on.

"Are we heading out?" Haruhi asked, looking up from a map she was observing.

"Well, we're all up and ready, so why not?" Tamaki smiled.

"Yay! Toontown looks like fun!" Honey cheered as he rushed to get his shoes on. Mori helped him before slipping his own shoes on.

Hikaru was already at the door with himself halfway out. Kaoru was right next to him, smirking at their obvious impatience. So, at ten-twenty, they all went down to the lobby and was there five minutes later.

Katie was sitting down while Steph was standing looking out the window. Katie was sipping some hot chocolate in a to-go cup as she was looking to her plan for that day. She seemed tired, but looked excited, her hair in a ponytail and wearing her contacts. Steph was drinking some water, while humming at the music above, with her blond hair held back by a hairband, but not up. She was leaning against the window she was staring out of. She then turned to where the stairs were.

Steph saw the group first and smiled as they walked up to the two. They were walking fast, but Steph merely grinned lazily at them.

Kyoya immediately went to Katie's side and was about to wish her a good morning when she interrupted without even looking up from her plan.

"Eager to get started this morning, aren't we Kyoya." Katie then flashed him a bright smile. He smiled back with a laugh.

"We are a bit rushed this morning, but we can't wait for the day to start." Kyoya offered her his hand so she could stand up and brushed her small hand against his lips. "Good morning, Katie."

Steph was getting the same hello from Hikaru and a hug from others. Katie found Mori and Haruhi by her side, both excited to hear her plan for the day.

"Well, slow down everybody! This is a slower day today." Steph explained. "Let's get to our shuttle and get to the park."

They all agreed and walked to the car. They were all talking excitedly and writing in their shuttle books. Katie was explaining what their basic plan was, starting with heading back to Toontown by train. So, in no time, they had arrived. They walked past the gates and heard the familiar *ding* that welcomed them to their new favorite place.

"You never get tired of the view, do you?" Haruhi asked to Katie once they entered through the preview area and saw the beautiful Main Street USA and the castle at the end.

"Never meet someone who has." Katie answered her quietly. They went to walk up to the train but stopped to wave good morning to Walt's apartment and his lamp that was still lit. So, they got in line for the train.

"Toontown is fun to explore but its hard to explore in the middle or late part of the day." Steph was explaining.

"Why is that?" Kaoru asked, confused. "Crowds?"

"That's part of the reason, but not entirely." Steph stated as they waited under the awning.

"Then what?" Tamaki asked perplexed.

"Because there is absolutely zero shade in Toontown and the sun is brutal during the afternoon and late evening." Katie pulled out a colorful hand fan and started fanning herself. It was only a bit before eleven but it was going to be a hot day.

They got on the train and made their way to Toontown station, back where the theater was where they had seen Mickey and the Magical Map. They got off and instantly saw Roger Rabbits Car Toon Spin, something that Honey wished to go on again, so Katie grabbed a couple of Fastpasses for an hour from them.

"Where do we go first, Katie?" Haruhi asked.

"Toontown is a very interactive land, so let's interact with stuff!" Steph announced to a cheering group.

"Wait, Steph, you're too impatient," Katie chastened her sister with a slight frown. She turned to the group with a slight blush on her face and began to speak in her best official voice. "I figured that you would like some official photos, taken professionally, for yourselves and your Host Club."

"That a wonderful idea, Katie-Senpai!" Haruhi sighed in relief, knowing her photos, no matter who took them, would not include everyone in every photo. She wanted to see them all together, including Katie and Steph.

"I assume it's at our expense?" Kyoya arched his perfect eyebrow, pretending to care about the finance of hiring a photographer. He enjoyed Katie's reactions when he did something like this, proving that she was unlike most people.

"The base cost is, but you couldn't get a better photographer or discount with anyone else." She grinned widely, giving Kyoya a wink. "I could be mistaken, Kyoya, but are you implying that I do not care for my guests?" To put the nail in the coffin, Katie arced her slim eyebrow in a perfect imitation of the Shadow King.

That broke the group, with everyone laughing hysterically at Kyoya who had once again offered his arm to Katie with a laugh. Katie smiled up at him as Steph heard a *click* that she was familiar with by now.

"Manuel! Great to see you again." Steph giggled to an older man holding a camera. He grinned at her and shook her hand, doing the same with Katie.

Katie blushed, knowing the photo Manuel had just taken. "Manuel, how are you? These are the young Host Club from Japan. Are they not amazingly photogenic?" Katie smiled.

"I am fine, girls, and yes, this will be a pleasure to do!" Manuel grinned jovially and everyone took a liking to him. They soon found that Manuel didn't say a whole lot, leaving the creative choices to the sisters, and only talked to compliment or offer ideas occasionally.

"So, why today do we have a photographer?" Kaoru asked Steph, who was hand in hand with his twin.

"With all of the characters we're meeting and photo ops, it seemed ideal. He'll join us again later too, because I know Kyoya also wants a lot of publicity from this trip." Steph smiled at the calculating boy.

So, they began to walk around Toontown, exploring the zany things that made Mickey Mouse's home.

That's All!
