"Can we go to Magic Kingdom and take a picture of all ten of us jumping in front of Cinderella's Castle?" Beth asks as we start to pack up our stuff. "A celebratory jump."

"We haven't been to Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom yet." Kenzie points out.

"But we will have time to. Plus, Magic Kingdom is open late tonight. I think we should, and after rehearsal tomorrow we can go somewhere else." I speak up.

"And we have four chaperons. We don't all have to go to the same place." Andy reminds us.

"But if we want to get a group picture in front of the castle, we kind of all need to be there." Ken butts in.

Everyone pauses and looks around, and we all decide to go to Magic Kingdom.

"We should get a group picture of us jumping at every park." Andy suddenly says. "It'd be cute."

"We can talk more about it later, but we have to get a ride to the hotel, change, and catch the monorail to Magic Kingdom." Meredith says as she turns off the light. "Our van is waiting for us outside, now let's go."

In the car, I text mom and dad to let them know that we're moving on, and Emily Instagram's the picture that Beth's dad got of her holding me while I sob.

EmMason: We're moving on!

We get back to the hotel, and I rush up to my room to change and get all my stage makeup off of me. The only way to really get all the makeup off and get the hairspray out of my hair is to shower. I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but I have sparkles all over me from the costume, the makeup is caked on, my hair feels oily and crisp, and I probably reek of sweat.

"Hey what's the theme for the next part?" I ask as I leave the bathroom and shake my hair out.

"We don't know yet. We find out tomorrow at rehearsal. Text Gabe."

"What? Why do you care so much?"

"Because he's really cute, and seems really sweet. Why aren't you texting him?"

"First of all, he's working until the park closes at its regular time. He's not working during extended hours, but he's still working until nine. It's two right now. Second of all, he lives in Florida, I live in New York. I'm not good with long distance. Third of all, I'm seventeen. I have no idea how old he is."

"That's why you text him. Get to know him a little. And they don't even have Kristoff meet and greets. How busy could he be?"

"He's in the parades, he meets some little kids if a cast member sets it up, and he's in a nighttime show. There's two other Kristoff's. One for the sing a long at Hollywood Studios, one that fills in for both if it's needed."

"There's a chance he's on break right now. Text him." I sit down on my bed, put his number in my phone, and open the messages app.

"What am I even suppose to say?"

"Just say hey, and make sure he knows it's you."

Me: Hey.. It's Siena.

Gabe: Oh hey! The next parade starts in twenty minutes, I kinda have to go, but I'll text you when it's over(:

I carefully set my phone back on my bed and look over at Ken, who's waiting to know what he said.

"Parade starts in twenty, he'll text me after."

"Get dressed and ready! If the parade starts in twenty minutes, we'll have forty minutes after that where the lines aren't too long, because all the parents and children are watching it!"
