The song here is "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac
Go Your Own Way
It had been nearly a week they had spent at Disney World and they now had their sights set for larger horizons. Crowley and Clara decided to take Keara to Paris, to show her where they had spent some lovely time together.
She was amazed by the beauty of the city, of the Eiffel Tower and the lights. She even took up French easily as she spoke with the locals, taking on quite the accent. Nikolai was surprised how well she could converse with the people, but it was cute to see. She was even given a beret free as if the people were so charmed by her charisma.
Crowley and Clara watched on as proud parents and Nikolai found it to be quite funny. Here, on their family vacation, the King, the Queen and the Princess of Hell, all acting pretty human. Keara was laughing and having fun like any other child would while her parents smiled with pride, holding hands like any other couple. Of course, Nikolai would never mock them, but it revealed how no matter how much of badass demons they were, a bit of humanity lingered in them... maybe a little of humanity lingered in everyone. Maybe that's something no amount of torture can destroy.
Then again, what was funny was the fact that they went to gaze at the art in the Louvre, appreciating man's artistic work. Nikolai couldn't stop snickering and left Gabriel and Nerilla to continue the tour with them.
Kelley had followed him out and they were commenting on the people that were passing the museum, rating them on a scale of one to ten in regards to their good looks. However, according to Kelley, no one was as charming as Gavin, Crowley's son. She was indeed in love with him and it was too late to deny that Nikolai didn't have his heart set on Keara.
Yes, she was still a child, but she took a liking to him, wanting to be with him when she would be older. A part of him actually made the promise he would wait for her. She had charmed people and demons alike, even the big bad Nikolai, Knight of Hell. She was what made his humanity rise to the surface, confirming his theory that demons were still a little bit human.
The next day, they all toured Paris, visiting sites like Notre Dame de Paris and the Arc de Triomphe. When they visited yet another museum, the Musée d'Orsay, only the royal family entered. The rest couldn't tolerate another boring art museum.
They ate some exquisite French delicacies and sat by little restaurants for hours, enjoying the sun and beautiful weather. They were carefree and it felt nice; no threats and no worries. Just an excited little girl jumping on cobble stones as if playing an imaginary hop-scotch game.
Then, Keara dragged them all back to a similar theme park: the sad Paris Disney Land where it was missing a lot of good things. Apparently she was on a Disney binge.
She had to go on more rides and explore places. She had spent a couple of days there, without sleep yet again.
Keara had gone to Alice's Curious Labyrinth, Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains, Crush's Coaster, Discovery Arcade, on the horse-drawn streetcars, Indiana Jones' Temple of Peril and La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant.
They all ate for about an hour, but Keara had her eyes all over the place, eager to continue the fun. She ate so fast that Clara had to nearly inhale her food, being the only other one required to eat.
Keara dragged them off to more rides and explorations. She went to La Tanière du Dragon, Le Carrousel de Lancelot, Le Passage Enchanté d'Aladdin, Le Pays des Contes de Fées, Mad Hatter's Tea Cups and then off to meet Mickey. She had to hug him and take her picture with him.
Sleeping wasn't an option and she spent her nights at the hotel watching Disney movies in French. Once again, "Frozen", but this time she learnt the songs in French; another plot to annoy Nikolai.
As soon as the sun was back up, she was out of the hotel again.
Keara started at the Phantom Manor and moved on, once again, to the Princess Pavilion. She had spent time with Belle and dressed as a Princess herself. They conversed in French and Keara whispered to her that she was much prettier than the Belle in Disney World back in the United States, which made Belle giggle.
Nikolai had to agree with Keara.
She moved onto the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, once again, but found it wasn't as fun as the first time. She quickly rushed out and dragged them all onto something more fun, like the Disneyland Railroad, which wasn't fun at all for everyone other than Keara. Even Crowley seemed bored with all this happy kid stuff, but he faked it well for his daughter.
The last attraction was Pocahontas' Indian Village, where Keara took offense at the word "Indian", but forgot easily enough once she began having fun on the play areas.
Nikolai sat down next to Clara as she folded up a map of Disney Land.
"I bet we bounced around like a pinball." He said and she sighed as if exhausted.
"How the Hell did we manage to do that? Most people go around the park. We went through it several times… in both theme parks." She said and stuffed the map into a bag of goodies Keara asked for; more toys, collectable pins and princess costumes.
At that moment, Clara's cell phone buzzed and she answered it with a smile.
"Hello, Anne. How's Ezekiel?" she asked and let out a soft giggle as Anne told her he was just fine. The rest, Nikolai couldn't hear, but judging from Clara's smile, it was good news. "Oh, she would love that. The Winchesters, not so much." She said and then, she seemed slightly surprised. "Wow, you must have caught them right after they woke up without coffee." She added and then let out another giggle. "We'll be there shortly." She said and hung up, glancing at Nikolai with a smile.
"I can't imagine." He said and she looked out, waving Keara to come back.
"We're all meeting at Anne's book store." She said and Nikolai arched an eyebrow as Keara ran up with a glow on her happy little face.
"Time to go to another ride?" Keara asked and when Clara shook her head, she began to narrow her eyes, trying to guess where they were off to next.
"Would you like to meet Anne and Gadreel?" she asked and Keara shrieked, jumping up and down, giggling.
"I get to meet Anuty Anne and Uncle Gadreel!" she said and then stopped, glancing at her mother. "I mean, yeah that sounds fun." She said and straightened her pink sparkling dress. Clara smiled and pulled her in for a hug, blowing a rosebud onto her cheek, making her daughter laugh and shriek again.
Crowley approached with the others and Clara soon filled them in.
"And the Winchesters agreed, willingly?" he asked them and Clara nodded her head. "Did Anne withhold information?" he asked and Clara grinned as she shook her head.
"I think they're mellowing out." Clara said and Crowley huffed as if he doubted it. He narrowed his eyes as he looked off to the distance, as if thinking why the Winchesters would accept an invitation to see them again.
"Can we go now?" Keara asked and her wish was granted in a flash.
