Hey, Princess (Louis Tomlinson Fan Fiction)

Chapter 16

"Tanner, where are you?!" I pace around the dressing room in my Wendy costume, my phone pressed to the side of my head.

"I'm sorry. I can't come to work today." Tanner replies on the other side of the phone.

"What?! I need you to play Peter today! Nobody came to replace you!" I rub my free hand over my face, carefully not to destroy my makeup.

"I called the manager's this morning." Tanner tells me. "Just find one of the other guys in the park to do it. What about Adam?"

"He's playing Flynn today." I stop pacing the room. "Wait. I think I have an idea. I got to go!" I hang up quickly, and call someone else instead.

"Hey, Aria." Louis greets me.

"Louis! I have a huge favour to ask you!" I exclaim.

"Is something wrong?"

"No. Well, kind of. It's a Disney crisis. Can you come down to my dressing room? Please hurry." I stare up at the clock on the wall while ending the call without a goodbye. Maybe if I don't say goodbye then Louis will realise the urgency in my voice.

I move back over to the front of my mirror, checking my costume out. While Louis rushes to get here, I need to make sure everything looks okay. My brown wig is perched on my head perfectly with no signs of falling off. The blue dress fits my body just like it is supposed to. My plain black shoes are paired with the white stockings. Everything looks fine.

I begin pacing once more when I realise I have to be at my designated meet and greet spot in eight minutes. It is a long walk from here. How am I ever supposed to make it in time?

Louis bursts into my dressing room, panting heavily. "What's wrong?" His focus drops down to my costume, and a grin spreads across his face.

I pick the hanger with Peter Pan's costume, and hand it over to Louis. "You can check me out later, but right now, I need you to change into this costume. The wig is already in there." I point in the bathroom.

Louis gazes at the costume in his hands, befuddled. I push his back to give him some motivation to go change. He shuts the door behind him once he is in there.

"You're late." James announces, conning into my dressing room.

"I know, but Tanner isn't here." I resist the urge to run my fingers though my hair considering I am wearing a wig.

James leans against the wall, his arms crossing against his chest. "You can't go without a Peter Pan."

"I know that!" I snap at him.

The bathroom door swings open, and I feel my mouth pop open at Louis standing there in the full Peter Pan costume. Louis looks just like Peter Pan. He almost pulls it off better than Tanner can. Louis smooths out his shirt before catching my eye.

"How do I look?" Louis does a full three sixty spin.

I stare at him, speechless. Why can't I talk? I force myself to pick up Peter Pan's hat, and stroll over to Louis. He bends down enough for me to place the hat on his head, and adjust it to make sure it stays. Louis tilts his head up, smiling at me. His breath fans across my face because our faces our a few inches apart.

"All done." I lower my hands from his head, not moving from my position. My dull, brown eyes gaze into his beautiful blue ones, taking my breath away.

"I hate to ruin this moment the two of you are having, but you guys have two minutes to get to your meet and greet." James speaks up from the other side of the room.

His words snap my out of my daze. Two minutes is not enough time! I grab Louis's hand in mine while sprinting out of the door. James chases after us as we race through the underground tunnels of Disney. My dress whips around my calves from all if the running. We jog up a set of stairs, and I pull Louis to a stop before we step out on the streets of Disney.
