It's a geek life (Aston Merrygold fanfic)

Part 23

Disneyland was amazing! I'd been a lot with my parents when I was younger, that didn't take the magic away from it though. Being here with Aston was just as magic! I didn't care if I was 22 and going on holiday there with my amazing boyfriend. Believe it or not there were a lot of people there who didn't have kids. People at home might say it was "childish", but I didn't care. When your there nothing else matters. Just me, Aston and having a great time. It was cold but definitely worth it.

The first day we got there we just did some shopping and got the majority of the presents we needed. We went into my favourite restaurant in the shopping bit. It was a retro 1950's American style diner. Some of the waiters were on roller skates and they were really friendly. They played rock and roll music. My kind of music. That was a secret obsession of mine. Because my parents were older then people my age they loved rock and roll music. I loved it too. I loved the whole concept of 1950's actually. I loved the dancing, music, the cars and the fashion. "Oh my gosh! It's still here!" I clapped my hands excitedly as me and Aston stood outside.

It looked exactly the same apart from they'd got rid of the 2 retro cars that were outside. I looked a bit disappointed because I loved those cars. One of them was one of my all time favourite cars, a pink Cadillac. It was a car that people like Elvis had at the time. I always wanted one but I wouldn't be able to afford one. Aston put his arm round me. "Don't worry Danie. I bet it's just how you remember it on the inside." He was right. It was exactly how I remembered it. I had a hot dog and chips. Of course I smothered it in ketchup. Aston had the same and also smothered it in ketchup. We both had an amazing drink called cherry sprite. It was basically cherry cordial mixed with sprite. It was the most amazing drink I'd ever tasted! I loved cherry anyway but that topped it alright.

After Aston had paid the waiter we left to carry on shopping. I brought an Ewok toy. In case you don't know an Ewok is a teddy bear thing out of Star Wars. I loved Star Wars too. Only the old 3 films though not really the 3 new ones, or how ever many there are of those. I can never remember. Oh well. Not really that important. I brought a Tinkerbell nightie with over the knee socks. It said "Do I look like I've had enough beauty sleep?!" on it with a picture of Tink having a tantrum. That was usually me though. I love my sleep and especially lie ins. Aston wouldn't let me wear it till Christmas though. Ah well, never mind. I think that's a good idea anyway. The presents I brought so far were for a Christmas mug for my Mum, a Darth Vader mug for Dad, a sparkly Minnie Mouse hair clip for Sam, a Nightmare Before Christmas bracelet Fran and some Mickey Mouse shaped lollipops for Paige.

After a long half a day of shopping me and Aston walked towards our hotel. It was only a 15 to 20 minute walk from the shopping part and the Parks to our Disney hotel. It was the same hotel I always used to go in with my Mum and Dad. It was called Santa Fe and was Mexican Themed. Even though it was one of the two cheapest hotels it was definitely very friendly. One year we got a free up grade to the Sequoia Lodge hotel that was a Log Cabin themed one. That was nowhere near as friendly. The walk was as peaceful as always. Most people caught the free shuttle bus that stopped right outside the gates to the Parks. That was always manic but mind you I don't think many people know you can walk anyway. Aston had his arm round me and I had my head on his shoulder. "You look tired Danie." He said as he kissed my forehead gently. I nodded. "Yeah I am." We got up at some ridiculous time because we had to get the train to London first before even thinking about getting on the Eurostar.

We collected our suitcases and then went to our hotel room. I hope we were in a quiet room this time. Nearly every time I've been we've been next to either people who had noisy kids or noisy kids ran down the corridors a lot. Well I think I will get better sleep there this time. You see I used to have to share the room with my Mum and Dad. My Mum's fine it's just my Dad. He snores really bad and it keeps you awake for hours on end. One year though my Mum got so fed up of it she got up and hit him. That was really funny. What was even funnier though was the fact that my Dad got revenge the next night by "pretending" to walk into her side of the bed when he was going to the bathroom. Yeah that was my family, but I loved it that way. Crazy but definitely fun. I wouldn't have had it any other way. Just like I wouldn't have it any other way other then with Aston right now. I could tell this was going to be a holiday like no other. Don't ask me why though. I could just feel it was going to be.
