Broken Glass (A Disney Fanfiction)

Chapter 31- Magic Kingdom

Lily's POV

I feel a little twinge of sadness as I realize that today is the last day of the trip. At least I get to spend it in Magic Kingdom. The crew is all dressed in their Disney cosplay outfits. Mine consists of a gray tunic top with a back band around the waist and a pair of black leggings with pink flowers.

We start off by going to the Monster's Inc Laugh Floor. Hali even gets to participate in the show, declaring that her hometown in North Carolina is indeed known for its cherry pie, palm trees, and the Eiffel Tower (it's not).

We also ride on Space Mountain while we're in Tomorrowland, which is cool because everything is completely dark and you have no idea where you're going. As we begin to leave for Fantasyland, we spot the Tomorrowland Speedway. The sophomore girls are very excited, since most of them have their driver's permit and they get incredibly excited over driving any type of car.

"Okay, let's pair up. Each sophomore can drive a car and a freshman will ride with them."

We pair up: Ellie, who is donning her new silver Mickey ears along with her blue dress, and Rosalie, since Ellie is the only one who is really tolerant of her and her attitude, then Tina and Bianca, Lisa and Anya, Lantana and Meredith, Isa and Jacqueline, and then Hali and me. I've met Hali a handful of times since she's Ellie's roommate.

The wait for the ride is ridiculously long, but we finally are directed to a car. Hali sits in the driver's seat, gripping the wheel excitedly. "Have you driven before?" I ask her.

"Over Thanksgiving break, yeah. My birthday is in April, so I just got my permit. I'm pretty sure these cars partially steer themselves, though, so you have nothing to worry about."

She steps on the gas pedal. The car takes off. Lisa and Anya are in the car next to us. For most of the ride, we are neck and neck, but Hali pulls ahead near the end. "Eat my dust, Lisa!" she hollers over her shoulder. The car jerks to the left slightly.

"Never try that on the road, Hali," I gasp.

We leave the racetrack and head to Fantasyland, which is where we all really want to go. It has all of the Disney princess attractions in it. I don't think that Mulan is featured there, but I'm fine with that.

The first ride we come across are the spinning teacups. Of course, Lantana gets really into spinning our cup around during the ride, leaving her, Anya, Lisa, and me quite disoriented.

Next, we have to go on the Dumbo ride. After that, we find ourselves in front of the Journey of the Little Mermaid. Lantana, who has been taking a ton of photos over the course of the trip, secretly snaps a picture of Hali, who is going nuts. "And here we find the rare wild Hali in her natural habitat," she whispers. I smother a grin.

We make sure to go on all of the rides in Fantasyland, such as "It's a Small World" and "Peter Pan's Flight." The lines are ridiculous, but once we actually get on the ride, we understand why. They have to be two of the best rides in the entire park.

Once we finally finish touring about Fantasyland, we go to Liberty square for lunch. Lantana spots the Rapunzel tower on the way and, of course, snaps a picture. After a quick lunch, we head into Adventureland, where we see the Swiss Family Robinson tree house and go on the jungle cruise ride, where we almost die laughing.

'Those were terrible puns, but they were so funny" Anya says as we gasp for air.

"Agreed."

We seek out Big Thunder Mountain Railroad next. I expected it to be more thrilling than it was. For those of us who were hesitant to go on the ride, though (*cough cough* Isa), the ride was perfect. "Does anybody want to go on Splash Mountain?" Meredith asks hopefully.

Everyone shakes their head. "It's getting chilly, now" Lisa explains.

"Sorry, Mere. Even I won't go on this ride with you" I apologize.

"Fair enough." Meredith shrugs.

"But we can get a small dinner and then go on the Haunted Mansion ride since it's getting dark!" Lantana's words cheer her up.

Once again, the line seems to stretch on and on for eternity. However, we wait patiently until they lead us into the little entrance hall. The doors shut behind us as a deep male voice gives the introduction and the room appears to be stretching. There's a thunderclap and everything goes dark momentarily before another door opens, leading us to the awaiting doom buggies.

I end up getting sandwiched between Meredith and Bianca on the ride. The detail that they put into everything is amazing. It's not quite enough to scare me, but I notice that Bianca's already ghostly white skin has become a shade paler.

"That was cool" Hali says as we exit the ride. "There should be a parade starting on the main street in a little while. Do you guys want to look around in gift shops until then?"

We wander around for a little while. I find some earrings in my birthstone, which I purchase. Lisa and Anya get matching Frozen muscle tank tops, and Tina somehow finds a Disney recipe book. After words, we step outside with our goodies.

Colorful lit-up carriages roll past with various Disney characters perched on top of them as Christmas tunes are blasted. Mickey and Minnie, of course, are the grand finale. Once the parade finishes, people crowd into the streets to watch the fireworks.

"Hey," I hear someone say beside me. I look over my shoulder and see Shane.

"Hi" I reply shyly.

"Can you believe that this is our last night here?"

"No, not really."

"Me neither." We stand in silence for a little bit. Then the fireworks start. I let out an audible gasp. "You don't see fireworks like that back home" Shane chuckles.

Wordlessly, I shake my head. About halfway through the fireworks show, I feel his arm snake around my shoulders. I smile up at him, slightly shocked. Quickly, I recover and lean into him slightly. Next to me, I see Ellie with her boyfriend. Is it my imagination, or do I see her wink?

WHO'S FANGIRLING RIGHT NOW??? Just me? Okay, then.

Sorry that it's been so long, but I was in the U.K. for a while and I didn't take my computer with me. But I'm back now! Also, be sure to check out 'Imperfect Harmony,' the collab that I'm writing with readlikeaswiftie!
