Chaos & Confusion - A "Moonlight and Masks" and "Adorkable" Crossover

CHAPTER 5

The gang approached the, well, mansion, quickly joining the line before it got any longer. Everyone always complains about the length of the lines in Disney so The Eggs knew what to expect before they even set foot in the park. But nothing could prepare them for real life.

Brooklyn looked at the seemingly endless line that stretched before them. "I really don't think I'm that bothered about this one," She hummed, "I think I'm going to sit this one out."

Kyle followed her gaze. His feet were already hurting just looking at it. "That bench is looking very appealing right now."

"Let's go." Brooklyn took his hand. "Is anyone else coming?"

"Actually, I was just thinking how much I wanted to go get a frozen lemonade, how about you, Daniel?" Lacey looked over at Daniel, not so much asking but telling him that it was time for frozen treats.

"Three frozen lemonades for the lovely lady," Daniel took her hand.

"Brook, Kyle, do you want anything?" Lacey asked.

"Frozen lemonade does sound pretty good! This heat is killing me." Brooklyn groaned and fanned herself with her hands. "I'm way too British for this."

"Yeah, me too," Kyle agreed. "This heat is mental."

"Mental?" Daniel laughed and Lacey elbowed him for being rude.

"Catch up with you guys later!" Lacey called after the remaining four in line.

There was a chorus of 'good bye's!' after them. As Dae, Syd, Axel and Colin watched them walk away.

Kyle snapped his head round to face Daniel. "Yeah, mental. Like intense and crazy and I don't know! Mental! You guys don't say that?"

"Nope," Daniel replied. "It's mental right?" He mocked in his best British accent.

"Keep it up and I'm going to need a mickey mouse ice cream, too, mister," Lacey warned Daniel.

"This whole thing is mental," Kyle muttered under his breath. "America is mental."

"Kyle," Brooklyn warned, "Be nice."

As their voices disappeared into the crowds, Axel turned to Dae, glad to finally be rid of the aggressive energy that Kyle and Daniel had created. "Are you scared? Cause you really shouldn't be. I can protect you from all the very real ghosts in there."

"Don't mock them, Ax! You'll make them mad!" Dae begged before turning to Syd. "Do you believe in ghosts, new best friend?"

Syd glanced between Axel and Dae, raising an eyebrow. "Oh yeah," she responded. "Absolutely, those things will actually follow you home. I had a friend once who couldn't sleep for weeks after going on this ride. She swore that something kept moving her stuff around."

Dae shuddered. "That's so creepy! I'd hate to get haunted, I mean it would be fun if it was a friendly ghost that could carry my stuff for me and help me with my homework, that would be cool! But spooky or mean ghosts? That would be the worst thing since low rise jeans."

"That can't be true, Syd!" Axel argued. He pushed his glasses further up his nose, just in case he hadn't made his intelligence level clear enough. "I'm sure your friend is a lovely person but they must be lying about the ghost moving their stuff, because ghosts aren't real. It's scientifically impossible."

"Just wait, Glasses," Syd smirked, "all those bad vibes are gonna come back and bite you when you pick up a hitchhiker on your way outta here."

"Actually, Syd-"

"Can it, Col," Syd winked at him.

Colin shifted closer to Axel to whisper, "it's actually just a bunch of light switches that turn on and off the ghost projections. The stretching room is really an elevator." He cast a glance over to Sydney to make sure she didn't hear. She was wrapped up in deep conversation with Dae about the inscriptions on the headstones they passed in the graveyard around the line.
