Chapter 3 - Go The Distance

The plane ride from Toronto to Orlando was long and tiring. The adults expected the kids to at least nap on the plane, but they were all too excited about their surprise vacation, that sleep was the last thing on their minds.

The seatbelt sign switched back on as the pilot made a announcement for passengers to return to their seats.

"Mom? Are we there yet?" Vince asked his mother who sat to his left.

"We should be getting ready to land any minute now sweetheart." She smiled at the boy.

The boy smiled with glee as he quickly saved his file on LEGO Pirates of The Caribbean. Putting away his DS system, he looked over at me, sitting to his right on the window seat.

I was looking out the widow, staring up at the night sky. Although my head hit the window, indicating that I was now loopy to no end and would fall asleep at any given moment.

He glanced out of the window, gasping as he tapped my shoulder and pointed at the window. "Ava! Ava look!"

"Huh?" I snapped my head up, hitting its back against the headrest of my seat. I hissed from the pain, rubbing the back of my head as I looked over at the boy.

"What is it?" I asked him with a groan.

"The evening star! You can see it from up here too!" He pointed excitedly.

After making sure that I wouldn't suffer from a concussion, I followed his gaze out the window of our aisle to see the star shining in the night sky.

"Oh yeah! So you can." I spoke.

"Maybe the plane will fly is over to Neverland and not Disney World?" Ty teased as he poked his head up from his seat behind us.

"That would a cool!" Vince exclaimed.

"But it has to be the second star to the right. The first one may take us someplace weird." I replied.

The three of us chuckled at the joke before looking back out the window one more time. We could see the city of Orlando beneath us, so we would be touching down any minute now.

I was just so looking forward to getting down there to well, do everything! See the sights, eat the food, ride the rides, and most importantly, spend some time with my family.

And speaking of family...

I pulled out my cellphone, logging on to the planes wifi signal to bring up my Facebook messaging app.

Yeah, that's right! This plane has wifi!

Anyways, I opened the app and scrolled over to Santiago's chat box, tapping it and opening it up. It appeared that he left a message for me.

"Don't know if you'll see this or not, but I just want to let you know that I love you and I hope you and your family have fun at the most magical place on Earth. Lots of love!"

I smiled at the message after reading it. I taped on the empty box, typing in my reply.

"I wish I could've taken you with me today. But one day you and I will both go together and share these magical memories. I'll take plenty of pictures for you! I can't wait to tell you all about it when I get back. <3 KISSES!"

Satisfied with my message, I taped the send button with my finger with a cheap smile on my face. The message was mushy and all that, but hey, I meant it.

"What' ha doing Ava? Texting Santi?" Jam asked from the other seat behind me.

"Jam, could you do me a favour and at least not tease about our relationship during this trip?" I asked the eldest cousin with annoyance.

"What? I'm just having some fun." He defended with a chuckle.

"Yeah, well the last time you were just having 'fun' you took a picture of me and a cosplayer from FanExpo and sent it to him that I had left him for Legolas." I explained, glaring at him.

"Why are you so uptight? It was just a joke." He replied with a shrug.

"I mean it Jam. No teasing. I feel really good about this one. He actually likes me, for me." I pleaded.

"Alright, alright, don't get so stressed. I won't say nothing. Promise." He assured, crossing his heart.

I nodded at the young adult. "Thank you."

A tall, 6 foot 5 inch, blonde haired boy with blue eyes made his way over a white Nissan Ultima, stepping inside as he started the engine, driving the car out of the garage of the Tomorrowland Speedway.

I pressed his finger on the touch pad, the face of Mickey Mouse appearing on screen.

"Mickey, there's been a slight change of plans." He spoke.

"What do you mean?" The mouse asked him.

"I can't meet with her at the hotel, I need to rendezvous with her at the airport before she leaves." He explained.

"Huh?! Oh no, absolutely not Benjamin! The rest of her family will be with her, you'll be spotting delivering the package!" Mickey stated.

"Don't be so formal. How many times have I told you to just call me, Ben?" The blonde asked him.

"I don't care about that right now. Wait for her at the hotel, that was an order from The Man himself!" Mickey ordered.

"I know that, but tell him that my plan is the more proper course of action." said Ben.

"But why--"

"The Anomalies are spreading further Mickey." Ben yelped.

That shut the mouse up. His pupils widened with shock.

"The anomalies are beginning to appear in the hotels. If I reveal myself to her at Movies Resort, then the both of us will be compromised." Ben explained.

"Oh no... These things are getting worse! More quicker than we imagined." Mickey spoke with shock.

"Exactly. Please Mickey, let me do this!" Ben begged. "I can slip her the package and be gone before she can say uncle!"

There was silence from the mouse as Ben circled around Cinderella's castle in the Magic Kingdom. As beautiful and majestic it looked in the night sky, Ben's mind was preoccupied.

"... Alright."

"I'm turning into Main Street as we speak. Lock on to me and activate the Magical Express Portal." Ben commanded.

"Hold on! It's going to be a bumpy ride!" Mickey smiled before ending the call.

Just a head of Ben, a light blue and white portal opened up before him, a swirling vortex in the middle of the street.

"Avalyn, here I come."

Ben slammed his foot on the has pedal and drove through the portal.

No longer was he in the World of Disney. He was know in the Walt Disney World Resort.

The real world.

Our world.

********

Within moments the plane landed at the Orlando International Airport. The passengers poured out as my family and I made our way over to the monorail, riding it to Terminal 1 of the gigantic airport.

"Our first Disney ride, whoa!" My dad cheered. "... Alright, let's go home."

We all erupted into laughter at his antics as Vince's dad and uncle Stevo joked along with him for the rest of the ride.

When we got off the monorail, we made our way to the baggage claim to pick up our luggage for the bus.

"Ava, I see yours coming." My step mom spoke up.

I looked over at the conveyer belt to see a neon pink suitcase with black rims on it. Yep, that's it alright.

I walked over to the belt, grabbing the handle of my suitcase. I pulled on the handle with all my might. With one final jerk, I pulled the bag out of the belt, only to bump into someone behind me.

The both of us yelped as we fell to the floor.

"Oh gosh..." I groaned.

"Are you alright? I am so sorry about that." a male apologized.

I rubbed the back of my head as I turned around to see a hand. I looked to see the person I had bumped into. He had blonde hair with blue eyes and he looked to be about 6 feet tall.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied, taking his hand.

I allowed him to help me up to my feet and perp my suitcase back up.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." He apologized. "I'm Ben."

"... Avalyn." I nodded.

"Ava!" A voice called.

I turned around to see my cousins waving over at me.

"Are you coming?" Vince called.

"Coming!" I waved at him. I grabbed my suitcase handle, looking up at Ben one more time. "Bye."

The boy smiled, waving cheaply at me. "Bye."

I smiled back at him as I pulled up the handle on my suitcase as I ran after my cousins, meeting up with them at the other side of the room.

"Who was that?" Ty asked her.

"Him? He's nobody." I answered quickly. "Just a nobody."

*******

Ben watched the family leave before he brought out his cellular device. It was a dark blue phone that was shaped like Mickey's head.

He pressed a button, bringing up the device to his ear.

"It's in place. Moving to Phase 2."

*******

The hotel was amazing!

We all had these awesome hotel rooms that linked up with each other so we could all meet up in each other's rooms.

Sadly we didn't make it to the cafeteria on time. So we would have to pick up our mugs in the morning.

Well, technically it's morning now. I suppose it would have been better to say, later in the morning.

I was wearing my red and white stripped tank top with red shorts for my pyjamas.

Me and Vince were hanging out in his room. Everyone else was fast asleep. Vince was on the verge of slumber though, but he kept pushing himself to stay awake.

"Vince, why not get some sleep?" I suggested. "That way we can go to the parks when you wake up."

"I can't..." He yawned. "I'm... Too excited..."

I smirked at the boy, ruffling his hair as he laughed.

"Why don't I sing you a lullaby? Will that help?" I asked him.

"I'm not a little kid anymore, I'm 13!" He protested.

I raised a brow at the boy, grin growing in size. "Not even, that song?"

The boys eyes widened as he got comfy in his bed before waving his hand at the girl. "Go on, I'm ready."

I chuckled at the boy as I sat up in my seat, looking down at him.

"I have often dream
Of a far off place
Where a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be!"

The boy yawned again, a lot louder this time as his eye lids slowly went down.

"I will find my way
I can go the distance
I'll be there someday..."

Soon Vincent fell fast asleep as I smiled at him, looking out of the window and watching this stars.

"If I can be strong.
I know every mile
Will be worth my while."

I got up from my spot on the bed as I slowly walked over to the window, looking out at the view of the giant pool and deck of the hotel.

"I would go most anywhere,
To feel like I,
Belong."

I sighed, letting out a loud yawn as I looked over at the sleeping form of my youngest cousin. She still couldn't believe he was 13, a teenager.

Meaning the Macth kids, weren't really kids anymore.

The bathroom door opened as Vince's mother stepped into the room. She flashed a bright smile over my way as she came over and hugged me. "Thank you for putting Vince to bed."

"You're welcome Aunt Yami." I replied, returning the gesture.

"Go on and get some sleep. We start our vacation tomorrow." She smiled, kissing my forehead.

"Okay.... Goodnight." I smiled, hugging her one more time.

"Goodnight angel."

The two of us parted ways as I walked back to my room through the side door, shutting the entry way behind me.

Once in my room, I looked over to see two beds in the room. My parents shared one, my dad snoring up a storm.

I chuckled quietly at the man as I walked over to the window, pulling the curtains shut. But as I walked towards my bed, I heard a faint beep.

*beep*

I froze, spinning around as I looked for the source of the noise. Was it the alarm clock striking the hour? Was my dad's watch? My step-mothers phone?

I couldn't be. I knew what they sounded like and they were nothing like those sounds at all.

*beep beep beep beep*

It beeped again, playing it a few more times. It sounded oddly familiar to me.

I looked down, noticing my suitcase on the floor. I knelt in front of it, leaning my head down towards it and listened.

*beep beep beep beep*

Whatever it was, it was coming from my suitcase. I knew it wasn't my phone, cause I had that charging out on the bedside table. And I didn't bring any of my hand held gaming systems with me either for the plane ride.

I felt the top of my suitcase, finding a line. I opened up the pocket of the suitcase, reached my hand inside and pulled the object out.

When I saw it, I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Is that... The Kimunicator?"

*beep beep beep beep*

I whispered a yelp as I slammed it back in my suitcase, shutting my mouth. I glanced over at my parents, checking to see if that noise had woken them up.

Surprisingly it didn't. They just stayed the same.

I sighed with relief as I slowly brought it back out. Realizing it could beep again at any moment now, I swiped my room card key from the table and quirky snuck my way out of the room.

I gently closed the door as I walked over to the railing, examining the object.

"What is the Kimunicator doing in my suitcase? I never even owned a toy trinket of it, let alone the real deal!" I talked to myself.

*beep beep beep beep*

Suddenly the screen flashed to life as a familiar face appeared on the screen.

"Avalyn Macth--"

"Ahh!" I screamed, dropping to the floor and dropping the Kimunicator in front of me.

I heavily breathed in and out, trying to calm myself as I slowly crawled my way back to the Kimunicator, picking it up in my hand and looked at the screen with slight hesitance.

"... Wait, you're the--"

"The guy from the airport. Do you remember me? Ben?" He asked me.

I slowly nodded in reply.

"Good, because I'm only going to say this once. Disney World is in danger. We want to recruit you to the Disney Wizards."
