Vacation, Part Two

�This queue is too long.�

�It moves fast.�

�There are children pushing.�

�They�re just excited, that�s all. Look, we�re at the end, it�s almost our turn.�

�Why is the floor moving?�

�It�s moving at the same speed as the ride cars, so that we can get into them.�

�That is the ride car? What is it supposed to represent?�

�Captain Hook�s ship. You have read Peter Pan, haven�t you?�

�Will you sing if I say no? Yes, of course I�ve read it. A children�s fable.�

�Well, this ride takes us into the world of Peter Pan. Get in.�

�What happens now?�

�See, there�s Wendy and John and Michael. They�re sleeping, and now look, there�s Nana, the dog.�

�We�re rising.�

�Yes, we�re flying. Over London. See? That�s London beneath us. We�re flying to Neverland.�

�Neverland is not a real place, Frankie.�

�It is here, and now, and shut up, Severus, so I can enjoy myself. Look, there�s Mermaid Lagoon, and the pirates! Oh, look, there�s the crocodile!�

�You are easily amused, Frankie.�

�What is this ride?� Suspicious.

�Er. Well. It�s a ride meant to promote universal friendship.�

�Very enlightening for Muggles.� Approving.

�Er. Yes.�

�Very colorful as well. What is that song? It repeats.�

�Yes. It�s called,� Pause.

�Yes?�

�It�s called �It�s a Small World.'� Quick glance.

�Much too cheerful. What are these displays?�

�Lands around the world. You see? Mexico, Norway, Scotland.�

�Why is that song still repeating?� Burgeoning annoyance.

�Because that�s what it does.�

Pause. Music repeats. And repeats. And repeats again.

�It is still repeating.� Rigid control.

�Er. Yes. It is. I think we�re near the end.� Hopeful.

�Will that damned music ever stop?�

�Probably not, no.�
