"Ladies, gentlemen," Mark says as he places his hand on a black circle table. We stand in a room where most things are black. There are few lights, but yet everything is visible. There are many computers and monitors. The table we all stand and hunch around is closest to a tv. It's has a logo that says, 'Disney Undercover'. "You are all here because you are some of Disney's best. Fatima,"
"Yes, sir." Fatima now where's a black hijab and a uniform similar to mine.
"You are here because of your costuming, and makeup."
"Thanks, sir"
"Garth, you're here because of your codes, you can code your way through the White House."
"I have coded my way through the White House," I tall man with brown hair and glasses brags. I assume he is Garth. Peaking out from his black shirt reveals small muscle.
"Amy, Luke and Chantel are here for there amazing Undercover work. And Ashton, you're here for your leadership, cunning edge, and cool under pressure. Which brings us to our new recruit. Amber, you're here for your knowledge of the inner workings of the company. Along with your sense of adventure, and life risking attitude" I blush when he brings me up. "Garth, explain the sequence."
"With pleasure. The little boy who drowned as working for the Rats. He triggered our systems, and him and his family now have full control of who comes in"
"I knew those Magic Bands were trouble!" A girl who I assume to be Amy pipes up.
"Yes... and they also have control over our scanners. And when this happens, anything or one can get in, Carrying anything" Garth continues.
"So what now?" Ashton asks.
"We have to get the family, get the chip, and get back into the system," Garth nods with every word.
"How long will that take?" Fatima asks.
"Could take hours, days, weeks even!" Garth tells us.
"What do we do in the mean time?" I ask, this time.
"We'll have to go into manual mode. I've already called in reinforcements from Anaheim, Hong Kong, and Paris. All of them speak English fluently" Mark says. "Now, I want each of you to get out there. We already know who we're looking after,"
"Who?"
"These people," Mark puts a picture of the family from earlier, appears on the screen.
"What's the fastest way to get to them?" Ashton murmurs under his breath.
"TinkerBell." I blurt out.
"What?" Mark asks me as everyone looks at me like I'm crazy.
"The fastest way to find these people is by the TinkerBell at Happily Ever After fireworks. Just put a facial identifier on someone, and we can find them in a second, who wouldn't see the fireworks? It would be mad suspect if they didn't" I point out.
"Genius! Amber, how would you like to be out TinkerBell of the ball?" Mark jokes.
"Heck no! I am deathly afraid of heights!" I freak.
"But Amber, this whole program is about being fearless, and you're the only one who could do it!" Fatima points out.
"I'm sorry guys... I just can't, if you need me, I will be in my regular Jungle Cruise cloths, doing my regular work!" I snap.
"But, Amber-" Mark starts.
"I'm sorry, sir. But I can't. Thank you for your time." And I walk out. I go back to costuming, and get into my Skipper cloths. I walk back to the general area, clock in, and make my way toward a boat.
     It takes a few trips, and for nightfall to come, but I start to see some familiar faces.
"Mommy! It's her!" I hear an eight-year-old cry. It was the family that I saved earlier. Just then, I remember who they are, and what they did. I remember the time, the plan, and the fireworks. About 45 minutes. Instantly, after we get back off the dock, I run off the boat, on to the dock, and down the elevator. I run to costuming, put on my uniform, and run toward the castle.
    I make no time for breaks. I take long stride after long stride. Castle next turn. Let's go! I finally arrive at the elevator for the castle. A long ride up later, I have to take the stairs to get up to Tink's peak. I see Fatima, Mark and Ashton all there.
"What are you wearing, Ashton?" I ask when I take a look at his outfit. He was in a TinkerBell costume, lights and all.
"Amber!" Fatima screeches when she sees me.
"What are you doing here?" Mark asks me. His voice filled with intrigue.
"I'm here to be Tink!"
"Get her in, Now!" Mark orders. Fatima goes on her phone, and presses a few buttons.
"Amber, press your belt buckle!" She tells me.
"What? Why?"
"Fatima has  sent you the costume. When you press your buckle, it will activate," Ashton tells me.
"Really?"
"Yeah really! Now get into it!" Ashton orders.
      I press the belt buckle, and sure enough, the Tink costume appears on me. A mirror in the corner reveals my costume's dress lights up . Lights fill my blond wig. A wand covered in Lights lives in my left hand. My wings resemble my dress on the outside, and my wand on the inside. And a big LED light displays itself on my cheek. Ashton presses his twice to get him back into his uniform. They all work in sync to get the harness strapped onto me.
"Now, Amber, you have to look both ways for this to work, Got it?" Mark asks me as he puts the identifier on the light in my face.
"I will, sir" I nod
"50 seconds til time," Ashton tells us.
"You're going to jump off this, out as much force as possible, and glide down, Got it?" Mark asks.
"Got it."
"Go! Go! Go!" Aston calls.
    The lights on my flicker on, I jump out, throw my legs up, and I'm zooming down. I start to panic, slightly, when I zoomed off. But soon after, I was soaring through, looking both ways, and waving to each one. I start to dissent to the top of Tomorrow Land, and see Garth, Amy, Chantel and Luke on top. I start to finish my waving, and hop off.
     The lights on my costume instantly go out, and my feet are firmly planted on the roof. They all give me an approving thumbs up. Chantel and Luke come in hot for a hug, immediately.  I look hopefully over to Garth, the question I seek answer to in my eyes.
"We caught them."
