Chapter 15- Getting Out

Sofia's POV

We ran hard. I was surprised to see that there was no security to get into Hollywood Studios since it was a largely populated theme park. We entered near the Muppet's Vision 3D Show. We had to cross the entire park to get out the entrance.

"Where do we go?" Emma asked, obviously nervous.

I couldn't blame her. I could tell all of my friends were nervous. I was too. My dad said to go to the park to at least have backup. I thought about what attractions were in the park, I was drawing a blank.

"Let's just start walking. Lucas, Alex what attractions are there that has good characters?" I asked them.

"This park has very little attractions, because of the new Star Wars land being built and all of the other renovations." Alex said.

"The main areas are themed with things from Toy Story, Muppets, and Star Wars. There is also Tower of Terror and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. And Fantasmic! Of course. Lucas said.

None were very good options. I ruled Tower of Terror out immediately, I knew the story of that ride and nothing could help us in there. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster didn't have any characters except for Aerosmith and they were a rock band. The Muppets were just puppets, and they didn't seem like much help. That left Toy Story and Star Wars. I didn't have to make a decision. We were almost to the Great Movie Ride. The park was moderately full, not packed as I had hoped. The more people, the better disguise. I heard a sound of a lot of heavy footfalls. The path we had taken into the middle of park clashed with another path coming from the Pixar area. From that path, a legion of green army men from the Toy Story movies were marching towards us led by a man I didn't recognize at first and a person who I definitely did recognize. I mean, anyone who wasn't living under a rock could have recognized him. But the other guy? He only looked vaguely familiar.

"We are so dead." Eli said.

"Do you know who that is?" Alex asked to no one in particular.

"Judge Frollo and Kylo Ren." Lucas said.

I gulped. They all looked to me for an answer.

"They haven't spotted us yet. Let's split up. Lucas, Eli, go into the gift shops on Hollywood Studios. Alex, Emma, and I will go straight across to the Disney Junior show area. Meet in two hours at the Polynesian hotel." I said.

They know why I chose that hotel. When we were little, we had stayed there several times due to what our parents called a series of unfortunate events. I had laughed because it was also the name of a book series I had liked. I didn't connect the dots then, but they had actually been called back to Disney. We were like 7 or 8 and had stayed at the Polynesian five or six times over a period of about a month. We knew that hotel up and down. There were several exits including the monorail to the Magic Kingdom. I had split up Lucas and me so that each team had a fairlie. In case of absolute emergency, I would use my powers and expose myself. I hoped it wouldn't come to that, but I had a very bad feeling. We split up. I walked calmly with Emma and Alex towards the Disney Junior Show. This area was a dead end, but I had a feeling there were friends here. Also in this area was the Star Wars Launch Bay and Voyage of the Little Mermaid show. I had my old pink Kingdom Keepers hat in my back pocket. I put my hair up in a ponytail using a hair tie that Emma had in her hair. She took hers out of the French braid she had it in, releasing her silky white hair down to a little bit past her shoulders. She had one of those headbands that was like a long elastic hair tie and put it in her hair. Alex donned a pair of sunglasses he'd had attached on his shirt. I hoped it would be enough to disguise us. I looked behind us. Kylo Ren and a bunch of stormtroopers I hadn't seen before were looking around the area for us. I quickly turned around and kept walking.
