"You ready?"  Melissa asked me. After standing in an almost 1hour long line, to meet Tarzan,Jane and Turk in Disney World, it was finally our turn. And by "our" I mean my little friend group: My brother Tommy, my best friend Melissa, her boyfriend Doug and my friend Allan. It was 4pm, and we've so far met Cinderella, Peter Pan and Wendy, The Mad Hatter, Lady Tremaine and Drizella and Anastasia. We were of course coming back again for a few more days. Tommy and I have been watching Disney movies since we were knee high, and we still have our weekly marathon. 

Mum and Dad never really understood the magic that lay in Disney,  so when we were old enough to by our own apartment as close to Disney World and pay for a long vacation. So, here we were. My squad and I, in Disney World on our first day. 

"I said, are you ready?" Melissa asked again with a little stronger voice. 

"Yeah, Tarzan, Jane and Turk aren't gonna wait forever you know." Doug teased. I giggled at myself and went up to Jane. She was my favorite disney girl of all time. I was a bookworm like her, and she inspired me to study the animal behavior in college. Allan, Tommy and Doug went straight up to Tarzan, Melissa said hi to Turk, so I took some time to ask Jane some questions.

"So, how is it to live in Africa?" I asked.

"Oh, it's wonderful. It's nice to wake up every morning in our treehouse and get the most delicious fruit for breakfast. So yeah, you could say that it's quite amazing." she said with a thick british  accent.

"I love your dress," I then said. I had forgotten all my questions. Such an idiot!

"Why thank you! I love yours as well." said the Jane actress. I looked down at myself.

"Oh, this isn't a dress. I just like to wear oversized shirts. I'm wearing shorts underneath, though." I said awkwardly. Jane giggled and looked over at Turks direction.

"Turk, dear, come say hello to my friend." she said and gestured at me. Melissa rushed over to me.

"This is amazing!" she squeaked. I laughed. She loved Turk more than anything. The big gorilla jumped in front of me and started to look into my purse. Jane gasped.

"Turk, no! That is no proper way for a lady to act!" Jane said and started to giggle. Turk put her big gorilla hands on her hips and continued to fool around with Melissa. I got eye contact with Allan who stood with Tarzan. He waved at me.

"Looks like your boyfriend want's your attention." said Jane. I looked confused at her.

"Who? Allan? No way, he's not my boyfriend." I said and started to laugh. Jane smiled and went with me over to the boys.

"Anyways," she started. "Tarzan, meet my friend uh.." she paused. "Oh golly, dear, I don't even know your name." Jane said and started to laugh. I was about to reveal my name but Tarzan came quickly up close and took a look at me. I froze. I felt awkward. No boy had ever been this close to me ever before. 

"Oh, uh, I'm Lizzie." I said and looked at Melissa that stood and winked at me. 

"Lizzie." Tarzan mumbled and touched my face with his knuckles. I felt a spark going right through me.  He moved back a little bit, still keeping my eye contact.

"Tarzan." he then said and gestured at himself. He sat on his knees, just like the real Tarzan. I giggled.

"I know." I said. He looked surprised at me, and got closer again. I looked into his deep blue eyes. I had never seen such eyes. I heard Doug, Tommy and Allan start talking to Jane, and then I felt like it was only me and the extremely handsome Tarzan actor left in the world.  We both looked down at each others hands. And I swear I thought I was dreaming. Our hands then got folded together, just like in the movie. When our hands met I felt the same spark. I looked at Tarzan and he looked back at me. He was about to say something, but...

"It was nice to meet you all." Jane then said. I got back to reality and Tarzan jumped back to Jane and Turk.

"you too!" Tommy said. I couldn't move. All I did was stand and stare at Tarzan like an idiot.

"Come on, Liz." Tommy said and pulled my hand. In the end, I had to give up and went with the others, not knowing if I would ever see Tarzan again.
