Like Before (Niall Horan)

Chapter Thirty-Four: Epcot

I was the last one up in the morning because no one decided to come and get me out of bed so I was running around my room trying to find my bikini and my swimming shorts and everything else. We decided we weren't going to sit there and wear the ears and all that stuff today because yesterday we looked like tourists.

I pulled on my bikini, it was a string bikini and it was white with a cute design on it. I put on my white board shorts that had a blue flower design on the top and I put on a white halter top and slid my feet into a pair of white flip flops. I had all the same stuff as yesterday besides that. 

I looked at Steph on our bed. She had just pulled her shirt on over her head when I walked out. She was in black swim shorts with a yellow and pink kind of striped bikini and the shirt she just pulled over her head was a tank top that had Mickey Mouse and the year 1990 on it. We both walked out and joined everyone else in the lobby of the hotel.

"Maybe you guys shouldn't room together if you're always going to be late." Jaesin grumbled as we walked out. Tia grinned at me. All I saw was her in a blue dress and flip flops. Sarah had on black nike shorts and a striped tankini top with a grey cardigan over it. All the boys were wearing swimming trunks and tank tops with man flops. 

"So we have our time with the dolphins in the afternoon so we just have to find something to do until then." Sarah told us.  

"I definitely cannot wait to swim with the dolphins." Steph told me, linking her arm through mine.

We made our way through most of the attractions that looked good for the morning, all of us really just wanting to go see the dolphins. The last thing we went on before lunch was the Test Track, which was pretty fun since it went super fast around the track. 

For lunch we went to a place called Electric Umbrella, its a lot better than it sounds. We were all eating slow, trying to get time to go faster so that we could go straight to the dolphins. The sky was starting to turn to a dark grey and I was hoping that it wouldn't rain before we got to swim with the dolphins. "I wonder if they close things down if its raining?" I questioned out loud, looking up at the sky as we walked toward where we would see the dolphins.

"I think its only if theres a thunderstorm that they close everything down." Steph told me, glancing up at the sky and frowning. "I think we're good though." She linked her arm with mine again as we walked to the place where we could swim with the dolphins. 

We went on a tour around the building first. It was about a three hour tour and I zoned out of most of it, just really excited to swim with the dolphins. During the tour, I heard it start raining and the drops landing on the roof.

The water the dolphins were in was almost clear it was so clean. I was really excited to swim with them. The guy in charge told us the rules. We were all kind of disappointed with these rules. One of them was you had to be thirteen or older, so Tia couldn't even go in the water with them. It was also only waist deep water so we wouldn't actually be swimming with them.

A couple of us at a time were brought into the water, after we got into our bathing suits and put on the wetsuits. There were a few dolphins and one of them came right over to me. I put my hand out to touch it but it squirted water in my face and then made a noise that made it sound like it was laughing. Niall came and stood beside me and looked at it. The dolphin kind of came out of the water and used its flippers to splash us and made the laughing noise again. "You like to play?" I asked the dolphin and it actually looked like it was nodding at me. 

This dolphin stayed around me and I eventually found its name to be Lily. Unfortunately, we each only got to be in the water for half an hour before we had to get out and go change.
