Chap 18: Animal Kingdom and Kitchen Sinks

***Alex's P.O.V***

Izzy and I were still moping next to the smeared chocolate when Liam made his comment. I couldn't help but laugh because it was so true. Izzy and I really didn't need a Kitchen Sink. We would be hyper for days. But, we were still going to get one no matter what.

I stood, with help from Zayn, and sat myself back down at the table next to Karen, who was eating as if she had never seen food before. I giggled and took a bite of omelet. "This is good! Who made this?" I asked.

"Izzy," Danielle said, taking a bite of pancake and then handing the rest to Liam. I spit out the egg in my mouth and started to drain my juice glass. Amanda, Karen, and Lauren all did the same, Karen going as far as to wiping her tongue on a napkin. Izzy stood there, her arms out wide, silently asking us what was wrong.

"Izzy made it?" I choked out.

"Yea," Zayn said cautiously. This time, Karen ran over to the sink and started washing out her mouth with the nozzle.

"What's so bad about Izzy's cooking? It's actually quite good," Harry defended. Awww: mental fangirl moment!

"Well, if you haven't noticed, Izzy's a nut. Who knows what she put in the food?!" Amanda cried out.

"Wait, I thought Izzy couldn't cook?" Lauren piped up, looking at Izzy suspiciously.

"No, she can," Karen said from the sink. "On very, very, very rare occasions. Like when company is over or she's in a very, very, very good mood."

Izzy scowled and then went to go shower and get dressed for Animal Kingdom. She emerged from the bathroom forty minutes later with dry, curly hair hanging loose and cutoff jeans with a Disney sweater. I know it's Florida, but sometimes, especially up in Orlando, it can get pretty cold. Especially at night.

After another two hours, we were finally ready to go. Amanda brought a backpack with her to put water bottles in and a small packet of money for our shopping. That's my favorite thing to do at the end of the day. Even though everything is like, crazy expensive.

The bus brought us there and Karen stopped us right outside the entranc and whipped open her video camera. The boys were all wearing hats and sunglasses, while the girls donned wigs again. Luckily, Disney tended not to be that busy in the winter so they were probably safe from being recognized. As long as Louis didn't go beserk like usual...

We did a quick video before going into the park at last. I stared in wonder at the Tree of Life, the centerpiece for Animal Kingdom. Disney always left me speechless. I haven't been here in so long! My parents always struggled for money and when they divorced, everything got a lot worse. I became super sensitive as well. That's why I usually tend to cry at sad scenes in movies and freak out at horror films.

I stood on my tip-toe, trying to spot a good ride to go one first. I heard screaming and grabbed onto the nearest person's wrist, dragging them over to the source of the screaming. I wove in and out of people and finally stopped at the entrance to Expedition Everest, Animal Kingdom's newest attraction. "Found one!" I yelled out to everyone else, who had just arrived. I turned and looked at Niall, who had been the one I had dragged behind me. "Sorry."

Niall laughed that addictve laugh of his and I let out a giggle. "Don't kill my brother now, Al! I just met him!" Lauren ordered, laughing. I shrugged and started to walk into line.

I turned and noticed that Zayn was wearily looking at the high rollar coaster and Harry had gone immensely pale. I told everyone to hold on for a second and then went back to the boys. Perrie was already there, and she was comforting Zayn, who was gradually starting to look a little better.
