What Happens in Disney [One Direction Fan Fiction!]

Carousel of Progress

Harry, Louis, Liam, Zayn, Niall, and I ran to the center of Tomorrowland where the Carousel of Progress was. It was the bottom most part of the building to the PeopleMover and AstroOrbiter. The Carousel of Progress is a moving theater, the stage is a stationary circle in the center of the ride while the passengers are moved in a theater around the circle, being able to view the different scenes that show how technology and trends have evolved.

The six of us jogged through the queue line and into the theater. All the lights were on. I immediately went to the control panel in the back of the theater. This controlled the entire ride.

"Let's see.." I tried a few buttons that I thought would start the ride. One shut the door to the entrance of the ride, the next dimmed the lights, and another pulled the curtain back.

"Hey! You're like a professional at this. You sure you didn't do this before?" Louis yelled back to me. Harry and Louis had gotten a front row view to the whole show, again not helping out. 

"Welcome to Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress.." The show started.

"What time is it?" I asked Niall, who had never left my side since we were on Buzz Lightyear together.

"2:02" Niall looked at his phone. I noticed a few missed calls and texts that he hadn't checked either. 

"This ride is about 20 minutes long.. We're ahead of schedule." I said satisfactorily

After the introduction, the theater revolved to the first scene featuring a robotic,singing man and his dog in what looked like an old, early 1900s kitchen. The man started talking about every topic from the season and birds to Thomas Edison and his new gramophone. Behind him on a table, I noticed glass cups.

"The largest screw.. This should be a little easier to find. Yell to me when the scene is about to switch." I told Niall, then I ran down the aisle and pulled myself up onto the stage. The first cup I saw held not screws but nails. I went to the next cup- tacs. The third cup held the screws. I stuck my hand in and started looking for the largest one. We had been on this scene for about 5 minutes so I figured we only had a few more minutes between the seats revolved around the stage again to the next scene.

After digging through the glass full of screws, I finally chose between two that seemed to be the largest. I held them up next to each other. I chose one. 

"One minute!" Niall yelled.

I hopped off the stage, bringing the screw with me. 

"Easy enough," Niall said. Without pressing any buttons, the scene kept on going. 

Harry and Louis were still watching everything going from the front row, laughing their butts off and making jokes. Liam and Zayn were having what looked like an intense conversation as they leaned against the back wall behind the control panel where Niall and I were.

"There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow.." The animatronics sang as the next scene, a 1920s kitchen with the same man and dog came up. The man once again started talking about a particular holiday and Charles Lindbergh.

This time I didn't see any glasses anywhere on the set though.

"It's 1:11." Niall said.

"We have time.." I replied, observing all the scene to try to find the cups.

All the lights and everything started flickering and the electronic doors opened and closed as part of the ride. The man raised his voice to yell to his son to fix the fuse. 

"The cup's in the fridge.. I saw it. I can go get it if you.."

"No, I got it." I told Niall and headed towards the stage once more. I got onto the stage and pulled the fridge door open. The cups were sure enough in there. This time, the screw was easy to find. Mostly all the screws were tiny except one. I grabbed it and jogged back towards the control panel.
