Day Five

 

[Peter] Well, I don’t know about you guys, but I’m going to The Haunted Mansion.

 

[John] Oh right. We were going to do that yesterday, weren’t we?

 

[Luka] Yeah, let’s go!

 

[Abby] I’ll come too. I’ve done all my shopping.

 

[Cleo] I guess I have to come. I used up all my money.

 

[Luka] That wasn’t too smart.

 

[Peter] I wouldn’t exactly call Cleo smart...

 

[Cleo] Hey!

 

[Peter] It’s the truth, hun.

 

[Cleo] I guess I have to go back to school.

 

[Abby] Yes! Then I’ll take your job.

 

[Kerry] Uh, Abby, you haven’t gone through med-school.

 

[Abby] Screw med-school.

 

[John] It’s like I always say: I wouldn’t want to go to County General.

 

[Luka] But you did.

 

[John] I didn’t have a choice.

 

[Kerry] Well...

 

[John] Oh, yeah. Like you guys are going to rush me to the Mem when I’m right there in County.

 

[Mark] Does Chicago have a Mem?

 

[Elizabeth] Probably.

 

[Mark] I mean, I know NYC does, and Boston too...

 

[John] We are not going to discuss hospitals right now!!!

 

[Deb] Yeah, we’re on vacation.

 

[Kerry] Where exactly is Dave?

 

[Dave] Here I am!

 

[Kerry] Where have you been?

 

[Dave] To make a long story short, I got stuck on Tom Sawyer’s Island.

 

[Kerry] What kind of idiot gets stuck on Tom Sawyer’s Island?

 

[Deb] Dave.

 

[Peter] Cleo.

 

[Cleo] I thought you liked me.

 

[Peter] I do. But I think you’re an idiot.

 

[Cleo] That’s gratitude for you!

 

[Peter] Come on; let’s get to the Hunted Mansion!

 

[Everyone Else] Okay!

 

***The Hunted Mansion***   

 

[Peter] Yes, yes, YES! I’ve been waiting the entire trip for this!

 

[Deb] We can tell.

 

[Peter] Oh, goody, the line isn’t long!

 

[Deb] Oh goody?

 

[Peter] That’s what I said.

 

[Deb] Oh god.

 

[John] Well, it has to be good. It’s in the same part of the park as Pirates.

 

[Luka] You and your Pirates.

 

[John] I bet you didn’t know the author is wearing a Pirates of the Caribbean sweatshirt right now.

 

[Dave] She is?

 

[John] Yeah, look!

 

[Luka (Looking out from the computer screen)] You’re right.

 

[Deb] How do you know these things?

 

[John] I’m her favorite ER character, thus I’m omnipotent.

 

[Luka] I thought I was her favorite.

 

[John] I don’t really know. I’m just making that up. But I am omnipotent. And, I think she’s written the most stories about me.

 

[Luka] Oh wow! You have two angst stories! I’m so wowed! I have an angst AND a muli-chapter story!

 

[John] Okay, you win. But I’m still omnipotent.

 

[Luka] Fine, but I get to be omnipotent in the next fic.

 

[John] Okay.

 

[Luka] Shake on it?

 

[John] Okay.

 

[Peter] it’s time to go in!

 

[Deb] Let me guess. John is going to say “okay.”

 

[John] How did you know?

 

[Deb] Lucky guess.

 

[John] Un Uh.

 

[Deb] It was!

 

[Fat Guy] Hey! You’re holding up the line.

 

[Deb] Oh, sorry.

 

[Cleo] I hope they don’t shut us in here.

 

[Door] Slam!

 

[Cleo] I had to open my big mouth!

 

[Abby] I’m afraid of enclosed spaces!

 

[Kid] Ohhhh! The room is stretching!

 

[Cleo] Ohhhh. That is so amazing.

 

[Luka] It’s an optical illusion.

 

[Cleo] Great, ruin it for us dumb people!

 

[Dave] Yeah.

 

[Luka] You mean you think you’re dumb?

 

[Dave] For all the intents and proposes of this fic, yeah.

 

[Abby] Agh! The lights went out! We’re all going to die!!!!

 

[Luka] Abby, calm down. See, there’s a doorway.

 

[Abby] Thank god! Let me through, Let me through!

 

[Luka] Someone catch her.

 

[Cleo] Peter, will you sit with me?

 

[Peter] Uh, sure.

 

[Abby] I’m so damn scared!

 

[Kerry] You look like me on Indiana Jones.

 

[Abby] Gee, that makes me feel great.

 

[Kerry] Fine, hate me. I’m just your boss.

 

[Luka] Abby, get in this uh, doom-buggy.

 

[Abby] What!?!

 

[Luka] Uh, car thingy.

 

[Abby] You’ll sit with me.

 

[Luka] Sure.

 

[Deb] John, will you sit with me?

 

[John] I’d be glad to.

 

[Deb] Are you scared?

 

[John] No, not really. No.

 

[Deb] Good. Me either.

 

[John] I don’t think I can say the same for Abby.

 

[Abby] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

 

[Luka] Great, now I’ll need hearing aids.

 

[Abby] Save me, save me, save me, save me!!!!

 

[Luka] Abby, It’s only a ride.

 

[Disembodied Voice] *Well, it says something, but I don’t remember, it’s been a loooong time since I’ve been on this ride.*

 

[Abby] Holy shit, it said something!!!!

 

[Luka] Abby, that’s part of the ride.

 

[Abby] Great, now we’re going up some ramp.

 

[Luka] Look at that candelabra!

 

[Abby] Wha- Agh!!!!

 

[Luka] Not so loud please.

 

[Abby] Oh, sorry.

 

[Luka] Finally, some real ghosts!

 

[Abby] Real?!

 

[Luka] In a Pseudoic sense of the word.

[Abby] I swear you aren’t using real English.

 

[Luka] Pseudo. It means not real. It’s Greek. Didn’t they teach you anything in high school English?

 

[Abby] No. My teacher was a pirate.

 

[Luka] You’re from Miami right?

 

[Abby] Yeah.

 

[Luka] That explains it.

 

[Abby] What?

 

[Luka] Nothing. Never mind.

 

[Abby] I never do.

 

[Luka] Look at those people dancing.

 

[Abby] They’re not people. They’re ghosts.

 

[Luka] They were people at one time.

 

[Abby] I thought you said this was fake.

 

[Luka] It is, you know what I mean.

 

[Abby] Do I?

 

[Luka] Ugh, that’s a sound I hear way to often.

 

[Abby] What?

 

[Luka] A heart beat.

 

[Abby] Oh, that is creepy.

 

(The ride stops)

 

[Abby] Why did it stop?

 

[Luka] Go me.

 

[Disembodied Voice] Restless spirits have detained our trip. It shall begin again in a moment.

 

[Luka] That’s why

 

[Abby] Oh.

 

[Luka] I wonder how long this will take.

 

[Abby] This is kinda creepy.

 

[Luka] Yeah, with that pounding heart and all...

 

[Abby (frantically)] Help me!!

 

[Luka] Abby, everything will be all right.        

 

(The ride begins again)

 

[Luka] There. See. It’s almost over.

 

[Abby] You had better be right. I don’t like this one bit.

 

(A little later in the ride, toward the end)

 

[Dave] Well, that was enjoyable.

 

[Disembodied Voice] These spirits will follow you home!

 

[Ghost 1] Hee Hee!

 

[Ghost 2] I love this part!

 

[Ghost 3] Me too... Hey it’s Dave!

 

[Dave] Hey, I remember you! You were on the island with me.

 

[Ghost 3] Small world hun?

 

[Dave] No, actually it was Tom Sawyer’s Island.

 

[Ghost 3] Ha Ha.

 

[Ghost 1] Gee, that was a *great* crack.

 

[Ghost 2] I think someone is running out of ideas.

 

[Dave] Me too.

 

[Abby] Uh, Luka, those ghosts are talking...

 

***ToonTown***

 

[Peter] This better be good.

 

[Dave] I’m hungry.

 

[Cleo] My feet hurt.

 

[Deb] I’m thirsty.

 

[John] Well, there’s some Goofy water.

 

[Deb] Ha Ha. Real funny.

 

[John] I’m serious. Look over there.

 

[Sign] Goofy Water.

 

[Deb] Well, I’ll be damned. It is Goofy water.

 

[John] Told you!

 

[Abby] What do you want to do?

 

[Dave] I’m going to the bounce house.

 

[Abby] Dave, you’re a little too tall for that.

 

[Kerry] His age fits the requirement though.

 

[Deb] I’ll *hic* agree with that.

 

[Abby] What did you drink?

 

[Deb] *hic* Oh, just some *hic* Goofy water.

 

[Luka] Goofy...what?

 

[John] Water. I told her to drink some.

 

[Kerry] Carter, you’re senior resident. You should have know better.

 

[Deb] He’s senior *hic* resident?

 

[John] I am?

 

[Kerry] I thought you were.

 

[John] Ummm, maybe I am. 

 

[Luka] Who’s omnipotent now?

 

[John] I still am, I think.

 

[Deb] *Hic*

 

[Abby] I do believe she’s drunk.

 

[Peter] Oh, that’s a startling announcement!

 

[Elizabeth (Sneaking up behind Deb)] CLEAR!!!!

 

[Deb] Agh!

 

[Mark] What did you do that for?

 

[Elizabeth] Scare the hiccups out of her.

 

[Mark] Oh.

 

[Deb] Thanks.

 

[Kerry] When I had the hic- (She clamps her mouth shut)

 

[Elizabeth] Why did you do that?

 

[Kerry] No more spoilers.

 

[Elizabeth] Oh. Right.

 

[John] Where’s Dave?

 

[Luka] I think he went to the bounce house.

 

[Dave] Whoopee!

 

[John] I can’t believe he mad it in.

 

[Dave] This is fun. Come join me!

 

[Kerry] I think I speak for everyone when I say, no.

 

[Dave] Come on!

 

[Romano] Out of my way!

 

[Elizabeth] Robert! Where did you come from?

 

[Romano] Who knows with this fic?

 

[Mark] Good point.

 

[Elizabeth] Ohhhh! Mickey Mouse!

 

[Abby] Where?

 

[Elizabeth (pointing)] There! I’m going to get his autograph!

 

[Abby] Me too!

 

[Deb] I’m going to get some more water.

 

[Kerry, John, Luka, Peter, and Cleo] NO!!!!!

 

***Main Street Café***

 

[Dave] Finally, some food!

 

[Cleo] You make me sick. We ate fifteen minutes ago.

 

[Dave] Mssjdshah?

 

[Luka] Not again. Dave, how many times do we have to tell you not to talk with your mouth full?

 

[Dave] Who knows?

 

[Abby] I can’t wait to see these fireworks!

 

[Deb] Me too. As soon as I can see without the image being blurred.

 

[John] I knew you shouldn’t have drank that water.

 

[Deb] You?! You’re the one who told me to drink it!

 

[John] Me? No, not I!

 

[Luka] The fireworks are beginning!

 

[Everyone] Ohhhh! Awwww!

 

[Kerry] Cool!

 

[Abby] Look at all the colors.

 

[Luka] I like the music.

 

[Romano] Me too.

 

[Dave] I wish I had my video camera.

 

[Cleo] Me too.

 

[John] Well, they’re over.

 

[Luka] That was great.

 

[Kerry] Let’s go home.

 

[Everyone Else] Home!!!

 

[Kerry] To the hotel.

 

[Everyone Else] Oh, okay.

 

[Luka] You had me worried there for a moment there, Kerry.

 

[Kerry (evilly)] Heh, heh.

 

[Luka] Uh, oh.
