The Legend - A Gilmore Girls Fan Fiction

Chapter 41

In honor of Star Wars Day, I have decided to publish the Disneyland chapter which was asked for by popular demand. I hope you like it! May The Forth Be With You ❤️

---------------------------------------------

Once Princess Emma was all dressed up as her favorite: Rapunzel – with the dress, makeup, nails, extra-long, blonde hair extensions and everything – we embarked on our journey across Disneyland.  Emma wanted to be in the middle, and so she held both mine and Finn's hands as we walked.

Our first stop was Fantasyland where we planned on riding the Dumbo ride, It's a Small World, the Disneyland Railroad, King Arthur's Carousel, Mad Tea Party, Peter Pan's Flight and Storybook Land Canals as many times as we could, all before lunchtime.

Watching someone as big and tall as Finn, climbing in and out of those tiny rides was hilarious, but he didn't seem like he minded one bit.  I was so happy that we've finally found someone who I felt would be a good addition to mine and Emma's craziness.  In fact, I'd go so far as to say he seemed almost perfect for the two of us.  Watching her being this happy, and hearing both of their laughter ringing through my ears was more magical to me than any other experience Disney could give me today.  I was absolutely loving everything about this day so far.

For lunch, we decided to go to Blue Bayou, and it was a really nice place.  I couldn't help but notice the prices.

"Ignore them" he warned me, looking up from his menu as if he was reading my mind, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"You know me so well" I said.

"You bet I do" he said with a smile and a wink. 

I'd decided on the Herb-Marinated Flat Iron Steak and Emma was all about the macaroni and cheese on the kid's menu.  They didn't have many other kid's choices, but I'm pretty sure that's because most parents don't take their kids to such a fancy and expensive restaurant for lunch at Disney. 

I took his hand in mine, grabbing his attention immediately and smiled.  "Hey.  I just wanted to thank you so much for bringing us here, Finn.  I truly couldn't have done any of this without you" I promised him, my tone soft and serious.

He laughed slightly.  "Stop thanking me, Love.  I couldn't have done this without you two, either, you know.  They sort of frown upon grown men following princesses around the Magic Kingdom if they're not accompanied by a child" he teased, kissing me on top of the head.  I closed my eyes and smiled, nodding slightly.  Even though he was kidding with how he said it, I knew exactly how he meant it.  Just knowing he feels the same way means the world to me.

After we were done eating, Emma pulled us back out to ride some more rides and shows around Tomorrowland.  I was surprised by how into the Star Wars show she was. 

"Ahh, I'm teaching her well" Finn said, leaning back in his seat with his arms crossed with pride. 

"When do you two ever watch Star Wars?" I asked with a laugh.

"Only all the time, Love.  She loves it!  She told me she wants to be a rebel princess" he said with a smirk.

"This is news to me" I said with a laugh.

"Tsk tsk tsk, shame on you for not supporting your daughter's life choices" he teased.

"Oh shush" I said, swatting his arm playfully as she went up and became part of the show in Trials of the Temple.  She was dressed in a Padawan robe over her princess dress and she listened carefully to her instructor who was teaching her proper light saber techniques.  I couldn't help but smile at how seriously she was taking it.  Finn pulled me into him and just rested his chin on my head as we watched her – she was pretty good, if I do say so myself.
