Tomorrow we were going somewhere my parents told me it was my surprise, and they expected me to sleep. They are nuts, I mean I am way to excited to sleep. After they tucked me in I knew they would be downstairs talking about it so I tried to be sneaky, I sat at the top of the stairs and I could hear the adults talking, I couldn't make out what they were saying. I knew they were talking about the trip, but they never mentioned a name or anything, I heard the stair creek, and a laugh. "We have a listener" Jaxon said, dammit he knew I was here. "No one spilled the beans, so we should be good" daddy said, ugh now they weren't going to talk about it. I saw Jaxon come to the stairs, "someone should be sleeping" he said. "Tell me where we are going?" I asked, "nope march little lady!" he said and I whined but he followed me to my bedroom. I wanted to know so badly, but he tucked me in one more time. "It will be more exciting if you wait" he said. "Am I going to like this place?" I asked, "I think so, more than you will ever know" he said. I sighed now I wanted to know even more. I could guess where we were going but I bet even if I did get it right no one would tell me. I knew that all our security were coming too, so it was a trip where threats might be involved. I could never imagine being taken by a threat in a faraway place, mommy and daddy might never find me. Jaxon could be looking for me forever and it scared me to think about it. I had nightmares and woke up screaming, Daddy was in my room, "Princess you okay?" he asked, "I am okay, I just had a bad dream" I said. "I thought you would be having good dreams; with the excitement of tomorrow" he said as Jaxon appeared relieved that I was alright. "You go to bed I got this" he said. "You sure?" Josh asked, "yup its part of my job" he said and daddy smiled at him and left. Jaxon sat on my bed with me and rubbed my back. "Want to tell me what it was about?" he asked. "I had a dream I was taken away, and no one could find me" I said. "Little lady I would never let that happen, I know it has before and I can't take those times back, but I am never going to let it happen again. I will fight for you always" he said. "Thanks, but Jaxon what if there are no more threats? Will you leave me?" I asked. "I will always be in your life, I promise even if I am just a friend, I will always be here for you" he said. That made me smile, "Jaxon can you stay with me?" I asked. "Of course," he said as he stayed and rubbed my back and lay down on the floor beside my bed. I never meant for him to sleep on the floor but knowing he was there was comforting.

I woke up the next morning and I forgot Jaxon was on the floor and I stepped on him, "Oof" he said, "sorry" I said and he grabbed me and tickled me, "stop please I need to pee" I said laughing as he let me go. I ran to the bathroom and made it just in time, I was excited I was finally going to know where we were going. Mommy came into my room and helped me get dressed, and Daddy was packing the car. Addison made us all a quick breakfast and all the grownups drank coffee. Janna was on the floor in a little dress, and she was crawling around. "Does she need to come?" I asked mommy, "yes she can't stay here by herself" mommy said, "Addison can stay with her" I said, "what if I wanted to go too?" Addison said, "I don't know" I said, "Ashe your sister is coming but I promise this is your trip and she will not ruin it" mommy said. "I hope not" I said and mommy rolled her eyes. We all climbed into our SUV it as big enough for everyone, Janna cried beside me in her car seat. "She is ruining it" I said, "the trip has not even started. She just hates the car seat" mommy said. "She hates everything" I said as Addison tried to play with her, but she just kept on crying. I sometimes hated my sister she was an attention stealer. Even Jaxon had to pay attention to her a lot and I hated how he agreed to be her guard too, he should just be mine. I know I am being greedy but like she steals my thunder all the time! I can only imagine how it is going to be when we are older, watch her steal all my boyfriends too, ugh she is just so annoying. We were at the airport which meant we were flying, and no one was telling me anything they even had Jaxon distract me as we checked in, why were they not telling me? We were at the gate waiting to board the plane and I watched all the people. A part of me wondered if any of the woman were that lady who dressed up like mommy? If she could dress up like her then she could be anyone. I never did get how she did it she could be magic or something, then it hit me! I knew where we were going, and I was so excited! I was going to get to meet all the Disney princesses! I was going to meet the real Belle and not the one that came to our house! The beast too! I wondered if maybe Moana would be there too. We were on the plane now and I couldn't help but think about all the exciting people and things we would be doing. I was over the moon, and I could not sit still in my seat.

"What is with you?" Jaxon asked, "I know where we are going" I said, "you do?" he asked looked at me curiously, "yup we are going to Disneyworld!" I said, Jaxon laughed and but he didn't deny it and I knew I was right. The plane ride took forever and guess what Janna cried the whole time! I mean she should be excited but no instead she was a crybaby! Sometimes I wonder if she really is my sister maybe she is an alien or something, because I am sure I didn't cry this much when I was a baby. I just hope my parents don't end up having more babies. If there is another baby a brother would be nice, I hear they are a lot calmer, and I knew at least a brother wouldn't steal all my things. I knew one thing for sure being 4 was hard enough and sharing toys but she would be stealing all my stuff as we get older. Things were going to be chaotic when she started talking too, it means she can yell back at me rather than just cry. Who knows maybe I will like her more when she can talk, right now I disliked her because she cried about everything. We were finally off the plane and headed to the hotel to check in, and then we would be going to the park itself! I was so excited that I was skipping ahead and realizing that I might get taken so I had to stay close to my family. Disneyworld was a big place and getting lost was not something I wanted to happen!
