El Lugar más Feliz de la Tierra

Chapter 1: Ready to begin? Let the wonder take ahold

"Matteo that was amazing!" Luna exclaimed as Demi Lovato's version of Let it Go started playing over the credits. "How have I never seen that movie before?"

"I have no idea," Matteo, who was sitting next to Luna on the couch, said. "that came out in 2013, over ten years ago. How are you so unfamiliar with Disney?"

"This Disney+ thing didn't exist when I was a kid. Mom didn't want to let me go to movies by myself as a kid and we didn't have a DVD player." Luna explained. "I guess I just fell out of the loop."

Luna and Matteo's plan for the afternoon had been to get the wedding planning started as they were done with Gastón and Nina's wedding, and they were on their honeymoon, it was the time to focus on their own wedding. The wedding date had been set to spring 2025. The late date was mostly because the wedding would be quite a big affair given Matteo's vast family, and the fact that during the past year there had already been two weddings from their friend group, and Pedro and Delfi also seemed to be determined to tie the knot in the frames of 2024. It was hard to plan a wedding while constantly being part of others' wedding parties.

But no planning had gotten done this far since they had just ended up watching old animated movies.

"How is that even possible if you are friends with Nina?" Matteo laughed, "I mean, I love Star Wars, but that is all thanks to Gastón."

Luna laughed. Their best friends, nowadays the Peridas, were extremely big nerds on all that kind of stuff. Nina had tried to rope Luna into something she didn't even understand many times. "She has tried to make me read those super thick wizard books for like ten years now."

"Ahh, yes the Harry Potters," Matteo shook his head, "I agree with her on that. Luna, you are a Gryffindor, you should really understand what it means."

"It means that I am a Lion right?" Luna wasn't really sure why she had never gotten into reading books. She was just too active and thought on her feet too much. Maybe she'd learn someday. "Anyways, lets watch another movie."

"Weren't we supposed to plan the wedding?"

"Well, we are! Didn't you see the scene in this one where they were talking about their wedding?" Luna turned her head towards the TV. It was not like the wedding planning was way off the schedule. They had over a year, and the date had been set. The venue would be just the mansion so that was also set. The wedding party would be the same as everyone else's. There was just so much they could do right now, since the Maid of Honor and Best man were off on their own honeymoon, "I want a wedding just like that. Ice cream and Chocolate."

"So you want our wedding to be like Disney Villain and Disney Princess?" Matteo teased her, reching over to play with her engagement ring, "Brilliant plan, Chica Delivery."

"No not like that," Luna laughed again, "But this is very good wedding research. Now a new movie. I want one with a princess... and a wedding."

"I am pretty sure all of the princess movies have a wedding in them."

"Oooh, there was one with a mermaid! Did that one have a wedding?"

"I don't think I have seen that one."

"And then the reason why the magic was disappearing was that the family was broken from inside," Luna gushed to Simon and Ambar at Roller a couple of days later. "I legit cried during the ending"

"What is she talking about?" Simon turned towards Matteo, "What did you give her."

"We ended up watching some Disney movies couple days ago and Luna became a fanatic," Matteo smirked. "Now Luna wants as grand of a wedding than any Disney Princess, which I am okay with."
