The Magical World of Disney

[Pheonex]

Tayler stood frantically with her friends, Zach and Toshi in Tomorrowland, debating about what was going on. "You did see that, didn't you?!" she cried. "It was him, Mickey Mouse! He just jumped into the water!"
"Tay, I know you're a huge fan of Mickey and all, but please don't ruin this trip by trying to start up another one of your stupid games," sighed Zach.
"You don't believe me?! But I just saw-" Tayler felt a light tap on her shoulder.
"Hi, I'm Kyle, uh, what's going on with the park?"
Tayler whipped around to see a boy who looked like he had just stared death in the face. His eyes were wide and he was pale with fear.
"What do you mean?" asked Zach. "Are the rides broken or something?"
"No! The park,something weird is happening!" Tayler cried.
"So you've seen it too?"she asked. "All of the characters from the attractions, are they coming alive?"
"You guys are both crazy," Toshi scoffed. "Like I'm gonna believe that the park is-"
He was cut off by a sudden rumbling that shook the ground beneath them. Everybody grabbed onto something to keep from falling over. The sky turned dark, and a giant red form loomed over the park as the dust started to clear.
"What the hell is that?"yelled Zach over the chaos.
Tatler squinted to try to see what was causing such commotion. Her eyes went wide as she realized who it was.
"It's Jafar"

[Chi-Chan]

A statue sat, the females tail upon the air and her eyes looking bright along the Ariel's castle. The statues eyes and features were smiling, unknown to the danger it would seem that took place within her story. Her features giving that beautifully young smile upon her lips, that made little female children merely go wow towards her. The statue merely watched, yes watched, as a child bent out to touch its hair.

"Look mummy! She seems so real!"

The statue tried not to change its appearence but its smile grew wider, the young childs eyes growing wide.

"Mummy! Mumm! SHE MOVED!"

The mother merely rolled her eyes, grabbing the child onto a ride before she could make a scene. Seeing no one in particulair look towards its direction, the statue finally moved. Its arms raising, a yawn escaping its lips. The young girl smiled.

"Its so dreary doing the same thing all day..."

She could not walk so most of the time, the insiders on the secret of the theme park would have to carry her to her next position. Only when Walt Disney, or his legacy now it seemed granted her permision, could she have legs. It was awfully tiring. That and on her breaks. It seemed that was now.

Swiftly two legs formed out of her tail, a pale blue dress she had worn once in the movie covering her features...when she first got up, as always it was hard....

She had seen the sky turn red...and suddenly she knew the day wasn't going as she planned....She tried to run towards the commotion but merely fell...

[Pheonex]

The figurine blinked, awakening to darkness. Her hand was cupped in the air, as if grasping something, while the other hand was holding onto a staff with an emrald orb at the end.
Maleficent blinked again, taking in the feeling of being awake. She had been frozen in this position for so long as a statue, it took her a moment to remember how to move her limbs. She looked around, finding herself surrounded by darkness and props. Where am I?! She thought angrily.
She looked around, then spotted a crate that was labeled Fantasmic! props.
Oh, that's right, thought the witch. The mouse trapped me inside here. Her eyes blazed with fury as she recalled Mickey hiding her away as a staue in a storage room, where she couldn't bring harm to anyone. Be ready for a surprise, Mickey Mouse, she thought slyly. The mistress of evil has returned to take her revenge on this pitiful place and all who inhabit it.

Maleficent stepped out into the light of the day, standing behind Tom Sawyer Island. She squinted at the light, then smiled wickedly when she found out that it was still daytime and there was people still walking about.The bustling people were so preoccupied with getting into a ride line early, they took no notice of her emerging. She flexed her hand curiously, glad to finally be free of being an unmoving staue. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a poster on the wall.It had a picture of a dragon Maleficent breathing fire at a sorcerer Mickey. She ripped it of with her talon-like hands and read it.

Come and see the wonderful workings of Fantasmic! A night show of the likes that you have never seen before. Watch as Mickey uses the pure power of light and imagination to defeat the evil workings of darkness.

The poster was engulfed by emrald flames in Maleficent's hands. Her lips curled up in a malevolent smile. "So, they want a show, do they?" she hissed. "They will indeed get a show the likes of that they've never seen before. And the star? Well Mickey Mouse, of course! Tonight, performing for the last time..."

Mickey grabbed the rope just above the waters surface. He dragged the rope over to the submarine letting the anvil drag the rope down to the bottom of the attraction. Mickey swam up to the hatch of the sub and began to pound on it. Looking around frantically, he noticed a large rock that was a part of the attraction. Mickey swam over to it, scooped it up, and broke the lock on the hatch. The door popped open and Mickey threw the rock to the side. Mickey reached his hand inside and grabbed the first little hand he could. He pulled the child out and placed the child's hands on the rope and motioned for him to climb up. The child set off up the rope in fear. One by one, Mickey helped people escape the submarine that was quickly filling up with water. Eventually the last person was rescued from the submarine. Mickey swam back up and broke the surface of the water to see all of the activity going on around him. Malik waved from the railing where Sharon was helping the last person out of the water. Mickey quickly swam over to him and climbed out of the water.

“Hey, that was awesome! You’re a hero, Mickey!” Malik cried in happiness.

“Aww shucks! It was nothing little fella! It’s my job!” Mickey laughed.

Mickey squeezed out his shorts which were full of water. Mike’s mouth dropped to the floor as he stared at the famous mouse.

“Did…di…did you just see that!” He cried to Malik and Sharon.

“See what?” Sharon asked confused.

“So you can talk?” Malik asked in disbelief.

Mickey let out a jolly laugh, “Yes, I can talk.”

Mike looked around frantically flailing his arms.

“So are the other characters alive?”

“Yup! Just about all of them!” Mickey answered.

“Even Minnie?”

“Yup, even Minnie!” Mickey laughed.

Mike’s mouth fell to the floor again as he stared at the mouse in disbelief. Sharon looked at the mouse skeptical. Malik just said, “Cool!”

Mickey turned away from them looking around the park. He could sense that trouble was brewing, although he wasn’t too sure what it was.

“Why don’t you three come with me? A friend of mine is a cast member here and he should be able to tell me what’s going on,” Mickey said turning back to the three looking serious, “I trust you. If you helping me to rescue these people didn’t show me your character, then I don’t know what will. So, what do you say? Do you want to help me get to the bottom of this?”

Mike picked his mouth up off the floor and got serious. “Yes, I want to help!”

“Me too!” Malik piped up.

Malik and Mike turned to Sharon who was looking at Mickey as if she wasn’t sure if she could trust him. But after a moment of thought she said, “Okay, but if Malik or Mike are put in any kind of danger then we’re leaving. I don’t care what they say.”

Mickey nodded in understanding, “Follow me everybody, my friend is this way”

Mickey came to a crushing halt however when the ground began to rumble and the sky turned dark as a huge red figure appeared, it was Jafar.

“We have to hurry!” Mickey cried setting off at a sprint.

Sharon, Mike, and Malik sprinted after Mickey in fear.

[Pheonex]

Maleficent strode throught the park, eyeing her new victims with icy delight. It appears that my accomplices have gone off and started their fun without me, she thought as she watched people who were soaked to the bone pass her by. They were whimpering and clutching each other pitifully. Looking up, she could see that the sky was turning red. But unlike them, I'll make my presence a little more subtle. A familiar caw came from overhead, and Maleficent smiled wickedly to the sky as her faithful crow glided down and perched itself on her outstretched arm.
"Hello, my faithful pet," she said smoothly to the crow. "Don't worry, my vengance will become evident soon enough. But for now, I have a task for you to fufill. Now fly swiftly, my love, and seek me out the rat." With one last caw, the bird took off into the darkening sky.
From behind her, she heard someone cry "Oh my gosh, it's Maleficent!" Maleficent turned arund and was confronted by three teenage girls, most likely college party animals. "We have to take a picture!" one of them squealed with delight.
Maleficent smirked. "Very well then." One of the girls took out a camera, while the other two came over to stand in front of Maleficent. The witch raised her hands, which were crackling with electric power.
"Okay, say cheese!" said the girl with the camera. Maleficent placed her hands on the girls' shoulders as the camera flashed and...
The camera dropped to the ground, printing out the picture meant for its owner to marvel at. All three of the girls had vanished, nothing left where they once stood but a small pile of ashes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tayler looked around frantically as the sky continued to darken. "W-well Tayler," Zach stuttered. "You're the expert on Disneyland. Where's the best place to hide?"
Tayler spun around to face Zach. "Hide?!"she cried with astonishment. "I don't think so, you weenie. We're going to help!" She took a second to pace and figure out what to do next. "Okay, Jafar's lamp would be...at the Aladdin show. Which is in...Adventureland! Okay, Toshi, you come with me. Zach, you hang here with Kyle." With that, she took off in a sprint towards Adventureland with Toshi following close behind.
Suddenly, a crow stooped low over Tayler, barely missing her head. She looked back at the bird.
That crow seems somehow familiar...

Simba felt a disturbance in the magical balance. All Disney characters could feel it. Most Disney characters called home in California. But Simba prefered the warm temperture of the south and Florida. In addition to the warm temperature, simba always enjoyed the Celebration of the Lion King that was held in Disney World. He, Nala, Kovu and Kiara had merged into the lion pride in the African Safari as well. His number was coming up in the ceremony. It was about time for him to start singing and appear on his float for the crowd. He was begining to worry. The disturbance in the magical balance was continuing to get worse. What if Mickey needed his help? What about the rest of the Disney folks in California? He had noticed there was a lack of villians who stalked around during the night. Was it possible that they had traveled to Disney Land to take over. It would be horrible if they were able to take over Disney Land. Simba didn't want to think about the problems that would arise all around the world, not to mention the casualties that would occur. Simba knew he would regret not leaving. Nala would be able to keep the pride under control. He was sure of that. Kiara and Kovu couldn't be worried at this time. A baby was coming on the way. Simba watched as his float began to lurch forward. He roared just as he did in every other show but this roar was different. This was a roar of a true lion, a proud, strong lion.

Simba jumped off of the float. The actors were clearly suprised. Timon, Pumba, and Rafiki shook their heads in disbelief. The King was leaving in the middle of a show. It was not best choice of time. But they understood the problems that would arise. Someone shouted from the croud. "LOOK MOMMY SIMBA is passing the PIG!!!"

"THATS MR. PIG" Pumba shouted a bit hurt by the childs remarks. Timon patted Pumba on the back, don't worry about it pal.

Some of the audience were surprised as the lion exited the tent. It was obvious that some had seen the show countless times before. The cast members decided to go with the strange occurance. The lead cast member smiled.

"It seems as though the king had some buisness to attend to. Probably had to chase some mangy pooches out of the pride lands." The show continued without the King of the pride lands.

Simba exited the tent in a blur. He raced through the crowds creating quite a panic. A cast member picked up his walkie talkie. A lion has escaped the savanna, please evacuate Animal Kingdom with causion. Simba jumped into the bushes and in a few minutes he was bounding though Asia. He passed Expedition everest and leaped over the crowd. Some oohed believing they were part of a new show. Others shreiked at the sight of the lion. Cast members chased Simba but with no luck. Simba soon made it though the Animal Kingdom. He raced through the savana of the Animal Kingdom Hotel. Guest took pictures as they got the rare chance to see a lion from their hotel room. But unfortunately for the guests, Simba was much to quick for many of thier digital cameras. It was not long till Simba reached the roads that connected the different Disney Sites. He knew to take the road to the Magic Kingdom would eventually take him out of the park. It was probably the best choice and would attract the least amount of tourist attention. To be quite honest Simba was surprised by the lack of ability the cast members had at catching him. He knew that most lions were not as smart as he... but he still was worried about the tourists, If he could do this then Scar would certainly be able to do the same.

Two Hours Later...

Simba was beginning to feel winded. It had only been an hour since he had escaped from the Disney Resorts. He began to hide in the brush of a golf course. He was still only 15 miles from Disney World they could catch him easily if he didn't watch himself. Soon the news would catch wind. What if Disney went under all because of his escape. He couldn't let that happen. The reason he left was to protect the Disney Kingdom. If he went back now. He could certainly leave at night. Disney wouldnt be able to notice, and the Disney crew would never have to state the escaped lion. They could in fact play it as a special show using new hologram technology. Simba trudged back to the Disney resort careful not to direct any attention.

[Chaos]

Flynn and his famliy had just arrive at disneyland. He was so exicted but of course he didn't want to show his exictment so kept it inside. Eric Flynn's younger brother was already heading to the tram station and yelling to hurry up. Flynn was glad there summer break was at disneyland. He was also glad that he was able to bring his lucky mickey mouse necklace. Once the tram arrive he and family got on. The tram felt great to Flynn but he was really hopingg get inside the park so he can enjoy his fun time. Once the tram had arrive at the park he and eric rush to the gate and show the man standing by the gate there tickets. ONce everything was check out they all went inside. Since you been a good brother Flynn and your so responable youcan take of eric said Flynn's mom. So your saying were spliting up said Flynn.

After that Flynn's parents headed for the gift shop leaving Flynn with Eric. "So where do want to go first Eric." "Lets go find Mickey and take some pictures with him ok said Eric so exicted."

Thats werid the weather is suppose to sunny and besides there not cloud in sky i wonder if it a freak weather thing thought Flynn. Hurry up Flynn before it get to late said Eric already far ahead of him. Flynn caught up with Eric and continued there search for the famous Mickey Mouse.

"Look Jenn! We're here! IN DISNEY WORLD!!! OMG DISNEYWORLD!!!" Sarah and her sister had just arrived. They checked into the Animal Kingdom Lodge and took a day nap before they went to The Magic kingdom. Sarah pulled out her cellphone and updated her facebook page.

"Sarah Fyust is offically in Disney world soo.... LEAVE HER ALONE! Many thanks." Then she closed off of it a put it back in her bag.

"Yay,yay,yay,"She pulled out her little Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal and clutched it closly. She was so happy to be here. Her mom and Dad were to busy with work to bring her so her sister brought her while she was on vacation from collage. It was her dream to be in Disneyworld. Jenn smiled and brought the tickets for a week and a half. By the time this is over she should be totally disneyed out. Sarah ran into the park and her eyes got big. Disney Characters were everywhere. "DONALD AND GOOFY AND PLUTO! THEY'RE ALL HERE! *Happy squeel*" She ran over to everyone of them and elbowed her way through the crowd to hug them. Jenn just took a bunch of pictures.
By the middle of the day Sarah started to get hungry so she bought one of those giant turkey legs. She walked over to poohs corner and saw him.

"POOH BEAR!" Sarah ran over and gave him a big squeeze. He was so soft it was like real fur.

"Does anyone have any honey that I could eat?" He asked the kids. She looked up and opened her mouth. Then she closed it again. Shouldn't they be silent? Whatever I'll ask Jenn. She hugged him tighter and then waved good-bye to ride Splah Mountain.

"Hey umm... Jenn, aren't the people in those suit supposed to be silent?" She asked curiously. Jenn hit the back of her head and shook her head.

"Shut up and finish your turkey leg before we get on the ride." Sarah shrugged and threw the rest of the leg in the garbage can. Maybe the designers audio recorded the voices or something? Yeah that must be it.

[kingdomfighter5]

It was twelve o'clock when Simba made his way to the parking lot of Animal Kingdom. He swung his tail back and forth greeting guests. He had to play it cool. He couldn't let the guest touch him. If he could play it off correctly the cast members could lie and say he was a new holigram technology. Simba smiled and bounded left and right. A little girl and her family were walking to the bus. He circled around them.
"Hi Im Simba, King of the Pride lands. Would you like to play?"

The girl smiled and pranced around the lion. Simba pranced around the girl. He smiled at the parents who were amazed by the 'technology.' Simba laughed and said his goodbye to the group. The cast members had realized that the lion was in fact very strange. Some of the lower cast members assumed that there was a real hologram running around the magic kingdom. Those who were wise and knowelgable were quite. They knew the magic of Disney was in danger if Simba was walking around and restless. To Simba's surpise he was able to walk around the park for the rest of the day. The festival of the Lion King was closed due to a lack of a very important member. Simba moved through the park searching for any danger. None was found. He knew that Mickey would know something. He talked with the guests. The Disney name would need to be upheld. His excuse for leaving the show, was that Scar had started some trouble. The guests seemed to love it. He bounced and pranced. Soon he went into the safari zone. He began to greet Nala, Kiara and Kovu. He explained the situation. He smiled as he finished.

"I hope you'll be ok Dad." Kiara smiled. "I need you to be here when the baby arrives."

"I want you to know, I will take care of everyone for you Simba." Kovu Said

"I know I can trust you Kovu." Simba said with a smile.

"I love you Simba. But why can't I come with you?" Nala pleaded.

"If anything comes apart, Kovu and Kiara wont be able to do it alone." The others here know you. And they will need a leader. I need you to gather those who are restless in the kingdoms." Simba said with a weak smile. "I love you too. But don't worry tonight I will leave, but I will be back some day."

[Pheonex]

Tayler and Toshi sprinted past the Indiana Jones ride, which was the next ride on their list. Guess we'll have to go on that later, she thought soberly. As she ran past, she saw quite a few people staring and pointing at the sky. What am I gonna do once we get there!? I'm just one person, and this is Jafar we're talking about! And I know this is the worst time to be thinking about this, but all of this is really cutting into the time I wanted to spend with Mickey-
Tayler was so preoccupied in her thoughts, she wasn't paying attention to where she was going and crashed right into someone and knocked them over. The breath was knocked out of her as they tumbled to the ground. She stood up, rubbing her head. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry," she said quickly, because she was still in a rush. She looked down at the person she had carshed in to. It was a boy, and the feature that stood out the most to her was the Mickey necklace around his neck. She held out her hand to help him up.

[Chaos]

Flynn was knocked down by a girl. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry," she said quickly. She held out her hand to help him up. Flynn accepted her help. "No i'm sorry i wasn't looking where i was going said Flynn quickly. Flynn notice the girl purple mickey mouse shirt. The girl seem pretty cute to him. He then noticed eric was tugging his shirt. "Come on big brother lets go find Mickey Mouse before the park closeds," said Eric. Flynn shook his head. Sorry little bro lets go. Flynn then look at the girl. "Um sorry again for wasting you time but do you know where Mickey Mouse. I'm trying to find him for my little bro so can you help me."

Another day in park and as usually Goofy was surrounded by kids. Taking pictures with them, waving at them, getting hugs from them. It was so great and Goofy love every minute of it. Once the last kid took a picture with him Goofy look up to the sky. It was dark and it look like it was going to get worst. "Golly it sure wasn't suppose to rain to today thought goofy. He was confuse the weather was suppose the be clear and sunny so wwhat was going on. Suddenly it hit him the sky was not the doing of the weather but of Jafar. "Gawsh I better find Mickey and fast before trouble start brewing." Goofy ran off and went to search for Mickey he only hope that Mickey could solve this problem.

Disneyland is a magical place, no one can deny that. (If they ever do, they're either lying or their Inner Child has gone off. Either way.) Every time someone stepped into the gates of the amusement park, it was like they entered a different world - a world full of imagination, wonder and child-like happiness and fancy. To put it in a more poetic term, being in Disneyland was so much like being in Wonderland.

Unfortunately, just like Wonderland, even Disneyland has its own share of darkness. And on this certain day, one certain curious little girl was about to find out about it.

The sounds of children's happy screaming and laughter was heard all over in the area of Disneyland known as Fantasyland. It was no surprise wh this was so - Fantasyland was for those who enjoyed flights of fancy, and romance, and castles, and princesses, and magical lands located under rabbit-holes. Which brings us to where we should be focusing now. Over in a section of Fantasyland, just beside the Mad Tea Party ride, was the 'Alice in Wonderland' dark ride, obviously inspired by the 1951 Disney film of the same name. And inside the ride itself, unseen by visitors, was someone sitting in a colorful flower garden, tired of just sitting there without much to do . . .

"Cats and rabbits
Would reside in fancy little houses
And be dressed in shoes and hats and trousers
In a world of my own . . ."

Alice sang a little song as she flipped through the pages of the book she was reading. It was a book of short stories her friend Belle recommended to her, but Alice rather found it uninteresting the minute she saw the book - and she was right. But she didn't want to offend her friend, so she went and read it anyway. She was already in Story 19, the one about the three bears and a little girl about Alice's age. (Where did she hear that story again?). And a great deal more to read, she complained in her head. I wonder if the stories will get any interesting if I read it more? Oh, I sure do hope so. And I do so hope ther would be a completely nonsensical story in this book!

It was then when Alice realized that she was getting quite bored already with reading the book and having nothing else to do. Oh, I don't have to continue reading this now, she thought to herself, closing the aforemented object in her hands. I would waste all my time getting bored with this while my other friends would be outside around the other rides, playing! Oh, I certainly do not want to miss out on the fun to-day! So, she put her book away on the tree-stump where she placed most of her things, fixed her dress a bit (it was quite messy), and went to where her cat Dinah would nap. And the cat was all but sleepy, plaing about with a large leaf that fell out of a tree.

"Come along, Dinah," the little girl announced, picking her cat up into her arms as she hummed her little song to herself. The brown-furred cat meowled in reply, a sort of questioning meow directed toward her mistress. Now, Alice loved to pretend that Dinah would talk to her back, and she would alwas try to interpret her kitten's little sounds. (And most of the time, they were correct.) "Where are we going, you ask? Why, outside, of course. It would be a lovely night to continue exploring Disneyland, wouldn't it? And maybe this time," This time, Alice started speaking more to herself than to her cat. "Maybe this time I would be able to catch that White Rabbit. Suppose what would happen if I do catch him, I wonder? Maybe I'll bring him along with me, and show him to my friends. Then I'll say, 'See here, he's the reason I got into Wonderland in the first place, just ask him!', because they all think that Wonderland was just a silly dream I had. But it was real, wasn't it, Dinah? Oh, I just know it was! I wonder now, however, if--"

Alice was interrupted by a sound of a train coming by and excited children's voices. She turned around to see the vehicles of her ride just across, and little children (some of them just her age) pointing at her, screaming in delight.

"Lookie Mommy, it's Alice! And she's alive! Hi Alice!"

"Mommy, I wanna take a picture of Alice, can I?"

"Daddy, is that really Alice?"

At all this, Alice felt weak. They weren't supposed to see her alive! But wasn't she only alive at nighttime? Unless, of course, it was already nighttime and Disneyland was still open beyond working hours. But that couldn't be! Something is dreadfully wrong, Alice concluded as she hugged Dinah closer to her (but still comfortably). I would have to find out why! She waited first for the ride vehicles to disappear, then when the visitors already left did Alice slip away from the garden, Dinah still in her arms, and outside of the ride, where she knew she would find her answers.

[Pheonex]

"Um, Mickey Mouse?" Tayler asked. Her and Toshi exchanged nervous glances. "Um, I hate to be the one to break this to ya, but Mickey probably won't be available for the rest of the day. And when I say that, I don't mean some guy in a suit, I mean the real deal Mickey Mouse. Either you're comepletely oblivious, or you just got here because, there's not other way to put it, the park is coming alive. And as far as I've seen, Mickey is doing all he can to help. And-"
Tayler's explination was cut short as Jafar himself erupted not twenty feet from where they were standing. "Oh no," Tayler whispered. He started talking to somebody below him. She couldn't understand what he was saying over the constant tremors, but Tayler could clearly see the young woman he was speaking to. And being a Disney expert, Tayler was not fooled. It's Ursula.
Suddenly, Jafar took action. He used his incredible power to form a barrier around the entire park. Trapping everyone inside."No no no!" Tayler cried as she ran to the barrier wall and pounded against it. It was no use.
Thoughts racing through her mind, Tayler tried to think of a plan. Remeber one thing that you've always learned from the Disney stories you've heard, she thought. Good always wins over evil. Suddenly, an idea hot her. She jogged back where the boy and Toshi were standing. "All of you, follow me."

[Danica Syer]

Jessie looked at the ride and back to her older brother Larry. "Larry did you see that?" Her brother looked at her puzzled. "See what?" He asked her, not looking like he knew what she was talking about. Mickey Mouse. I thought I saw him rushing by. She thought to herself. Oh right. Her brother couldn't hear what she was thinking. "I thought I saw Mickey walking." She said. Her brother looked at her as if she were crazy. She knew this would be his initial reaction. "Really, I saw Mickey Mouse." She told him. Larry shook his head. "Mickey doesn't exist in reality. He's only a guy in a suit." She shook her head and made her brother look.


"Jessie, Larry are you guys coming?" Her mom called as their dad was walking ahead. "Yes." Jessie said. Her brother looked. "Whoa, holy cow. I think your right but how are we going to tell mom and dad?" He asked her. She thought about this. No. She couldn't. If she did, her parents would laugh. Her mother would probably say something like, "Jessie, Mickey isn't real. Stop worrying." and her dad would claim that she was probably tired and still daydream. "I don't think we should say anything." She told them. "They wouldn't believe me." Her brother looked at her and nodded. "I guess your right, well let's catch up with them and not make them worry, shall we?" Sure. Jessie followed him. When they caught up with their parents. Her mom asked if anything was wrong. She shook her head. Not now she wouldn't tell them. She looked at Larry. He was looking tense as well. They had to wait until Splash Mountain ended and only then they could find out what was going on.
