This Can't Be Good

Chapter 16

The four of us arrived at the gates of Magic Kingdom. I was excited. I hadn't been to Disney World since I was 12. I had the right to act like a child. I mean it was Disney World for crying out load.

"What to first?" Jayden asked. We were standing in the entrance way. I had my iPhone out and was taking pictures of pretty much anything and everything I could.

"Space Mountain!" Miranda shouted and off we all went.

The plan was to do all the big rides before we met up with Lexis since she wasn't going to be tall enough.

The line for space mountain was 75 minutes. I guess that wasn't that bad considering it was twelve thirty and a holiday week. I decided to play with my phone to kill some time since Jayden and Miranda were in a conversation and Parker was talking to some girl. I decided to text Max since I hadn't talked to him today. To my surprise he had already texted me.

He texted me to let me know that him and Ava were official. I was so happy. They were such an adorable couple. We were getting closer but we definitely weren't close yet so I continued to text Max.

"Who are you talking to?" Parker asked. He was causally leaning against the railing of the lines.

"Max." I continued to type out my message to him and then looked up. Parker was looking down on me trying to read what I was writing. "Excuse you. This isn't a conversation that pertains to you," I put my phone in my pocket and folded my arms.

"Sorry but I'm sure he wouldn't mind his friend reading his message," Parker folded his arm to mimic me.

"Well, he can tell you about this conversation on his own time," I said and pushed passed him to continue walking in the line.

"How many?" The worker asked. We had finally reached the end of the line.

"Four," Miranda stated.

"Five and six please," He then led us to the back of the car.

"Who's going with who?" I asked looking at Miranda, who then looked up at Jayden. He pushed her towards me.

"Ride with Josylne! I got Parker," Jayden said.

The day continued as planned. By the time we met Lexis we had already been on all the roller coasters she wasn't able to ride. We all alternated who we rode with so no one was riding with the same person more so than another. I was happy about that.

Cassadee and Trevor had taken Lexis on a handful of rides but I could tell they were exhausted. I mean it was already four thirty and they had been up since at least five this morning. I offered to keep Lexis for the rest of the night until the parade so they could go rest.

"Thanks Jos. If we're not back in time just stay and take pictures since this is her first Disney parade," Cassadee said. She passed Lexis off to me since she was holding her.

"Got it! Now go rest," I said. I waved them off and so did Lexis. Jayden, Miranda, and Parker were all sitting on a bench eating Mickey shaped pretzels.

"Hey Jos we're gonna go get something to eat," Jayden said.

"Catch up with you later then. I'm not hungry so I'm gonna go with Lex on more rides." They walked away. Leaving me with Lexis and Parker. Lexis wiggled out of my hands and sat next to Parker.

"Want," She said reaching for the Mickey shaped pretzel Parker was holding. He ripped of a piece and gave it to her.

"Lex what do you want to go on that mommy and daddy didn't take you on?" I asked her.

"Tea cupies!" She yelled and I laughed. She began to pull on Parker's arm. "You come too!"

That I did not laugh at.

"Sure," He said. He stood up and helped her get down off the bench. He placed her on the floor and grabbed her hand, she then grabbed my hand and off we went to wait in line for the tea cups.

Adults kept giving us rude looks. I knew why and it was stupid. Every time I took Lexis out everyone assumed she was my child.

The line for the tea cups wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. It only took 20 minutes for our turn. When we got in Lexis ran for the purple one and we all got in. Lexis sat in the middle of the two of us. I decided to send Cass a picture so I made all of us move together to take one with my phone. Lex made us take one where we were both kissing her cheeks. Much to my dismay it was an adorable picture, so I set it as my lock screen on my phone.

After a couple more rides it was time to get ready for the electrical parade. We walked down Main Street until we found Cassadee and Trevor. They were sitting on the curb with blankets and such. I gave them Lexis and told them I'd be back in a second. I hadn't eaten much since lunch so I decided to run into the store and buy myself a bowl of fruit. I walked up to the register to pay. I was reaching into my wallet when five dollars was slapped down on the counter before I could get mine. I looked back to find Parker behind me.

"Just let me," He said. I sighed, I knew it was a lost cause.

We walked back to our spot and Miranda and Jayden were now sitting with us along with our parents.

The parade began and it was magical. The floats were so bright and colorful and just wow. I took so many pictures that everyone kept rolling their eyes at me. Lexis tried to run out in the parade a handful of times and she nearly made it when she saw Peter Pan.

Once the parade was over we all decided to go on a few more rides before the fireworks started. We decided to go on the Tomorrowland speedway. Once we got off of that ride we had time for one more. We let Lexis pick and it was no surprise that she chose, Peter Pan. It was fine though since it was close to the castle where we were going to watch the firework show.

Lexis wanted to ride with Parker and I. She is tiny so they made an exception and let her ride with us. She had to sit on my lap but it was worth it.

"Look its Wendy and Peter and Tinker Bell!" She yelled wiggling around on my lap.

After the ride we went over to stand for the fireworks shows. The night was perfect. Every firework was gorgeous there wasn't one that was stupid. My favorite would have to be the Mickey ones but then again who wouldn't like those. After the show we went back to the hotel room, only the boys went back to our room. We decided to have a movie night in our room. Jayden and Miranda were on one bed. Parker was leaning against the headboard of mine and I was lying on my stomach the other way. It wasn't as awkward as I imagined. We were watching some stupid movie Jayden picked. Movie nights after travailing and going to the amusement park isn't the smartest of ideas. Needless to say we all passed out in the room and I don't think our parents were too happy about it.
