My mouth slowly gapped open as I stared at the screen, looking at the boy with upmost shock.

"D-Disney, what now?" I whimpered with confusion.

"Disney Wizards. They are a elite group of users who protect all of Disney." He explained.

"... Wizards?" I repeated.

He nodded. "Yep, Wizards."

This was like something straight out of a Disney movie! What if this was all just a dream?

I pondered the thought before slowing getting up to my feet, rolling my eyes. "Wait, I get it now."

"You do?" The boy asked, looking hopeful.

"I'm dreaming aren't I? Look, Ben right? I'm sorry, it's late. It's about, what? 3:00 in the morning? So if it's all the same to you, I'm going to go back to my bed and wake up." I spoke.

The boy chuckled at me, seeming to take what I said as a joke. "I can assure you Avalyn, this is not a dream. It's very real."

"Okay... We may have met once before, but I never told you my name. So how would you know it?" I asked him, raising a brow at the boy.

"That's simple, anyone who is anyone knows who you are. You're the chosen one." Ben answered.

"Come again?" I replied blankly.

"The chosen one. The missing Disney Wizard we've been looking for, for our team." Ben explained.

After staring at him for a brief moment, I face-palmed myself, groaning as my hand slid of my face.

"Okay, I'm hanging up now." I said with a tad annoyance. "Good talking to you."

"No wait, don't! If you don't help us, Disney World will be lost, FOREVER!" Ben yelled.

My thumb froze, just hovering over the power off button.

Disney World? Lost forever? But how could that even be possible?

"... What do you mean by that?" I slowly asked the blonde.

"The World of Disney has been invaded. Invaded by a evil force known as the Dark Anomalies. Whatever they do in that world, it affects the parks in the real world." Ben explained.

"What do they do?" I asked him.

"Anything really. They can make things vanish, they can corrupt anything they touch, take a living a form, the skies the limit with these Anomalies. They are the most powerful and evil thing to ever crawl upon Disney." He answered.

"What about the Disney villains? Are any of them capable of this?" I asked him, leaning against the railing of the hall.

"None of them have taken responsibility. We've gone through all of their files and so far, even with the highest level of magic, none of them could have whipped this up." Ben explained.

"This is starting to get weird..." I muttered. 

"Please listen to reason Avalyn. Dozens of Disney Wizards have lost their lives fighting off against these Anomalies. If you don't help us, if we don't do something to stop them, everything from Disney World will be gone! If and when that happens, they'll spread to the other parks and everything in between! It will be like... like Disney never even existed." Ben pleaded. 

"... A world without Disney?" I questioned with surprise.

"Yes! That's what I'm trying to say! Think about it; all of Walt Disney's hard work, just gone in the blink of an eye!" said Ben. "Wizards have the power to see Anomalies happen right before our eyes, but nobody else on the planet can."

"And why is that?" I asked him.

"Because as much as they move the house of mouse and his pals, they just don't have the magic inside of them. They don't have enough believable power for them to see the World of Disney crashing down around them." Ben stated. "But that's where we come in. Not only do we protect Disney, but we also protect the people. Everyday guests, all the way down to family and friends."

Avalyn stared at the blonde boy through the screen, thinking of her options. She sighed, rubbing her forehead. "Ben, listen, I'd like to help you, I really would. But I just don't think that there's anything I could do to help you."

"But you can! You just have to find the magic inside you... Look, I'll let you go now to get some rest. But, please Avalyn... please think about it. Disney needs you... we need you..." 

Ben ended the call, the screen on the Kimunicator going black. My hand shook a little as I moved back, away from the railing and bumped right into the wall.

Day break came, and Sebastian Harris was working on the security console, keeping a sharp eye out for any spikes of Dark Anomalies. His current work station was at Star Command, located in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom. 

Sebastian was leading the security team of LGM's, meaning Little Green Men. It was their job to keep an eye out for any Dark Anomalies that would try to appear in the Magic Kingdom and a few of the hotels close by. 

Sebastian had wavy brown hair with brown eyes. He wore a light blue dress shirt with dark red shorts and white shoes. 

He stood up on the main platform of the room as a side door opened, a robust figure with a space suit entering the room. 

"Ah, Buzz, good to see you back." Sebastian looked over at him, not holding back his flawless British accent. "Anything?"

"All quiet and nothing to report." Buzz Lightyear saluted, retracting his glass helmet. 

"Excellent! A third day in a row with no Anomalies, a personal best." The British boy smiled. 

"Any word on your partner?" Buzz asked him, joining him at the main console. 

"No... Ben has been up all night. You know how he gets when he doesn't get any sleep." Sebastian sighed, followed by a hush mutter. 

"I'm sure he's alright. Although I'm curious as to why Mickey sent him out into the real world at such a late hour last night." Lightyear spoke with concern. 

"Well, it hasn't been confirmed, but he may have acquired--"

Before Sebastian could continue, the main doors to the security center opened, as a tall blonde teenager entered the room. He wore a dark blue v-neck shirt with dark jeans and sneakers. 

"Ben!" Sebastian exclaimed, running over to his partner. "Did you find her?"

"I did." Ben answered, walking past him. 

"Well, where is she?" Sebastian asked him.

"She's back at the hotel." Ben answered, walking over to the main console. 

"What?!" Sebastian yelped. "What the bloody heck man! You were supposed to bring her here to this world so Mickey could debrief her!" 

"I briefed her a bit myself, but she seemed to be confused and tired. I felt like I hadn't gotten her attention that well." Ben explained. 

"So she had little sleep, big whoop! If Mickey had given me the job of bringing her here, I wouldn't have bored her to tears with long lectures, Benjamin." Sebastian remarked, crossing his arms.

"Oh? And what about you? What would you have done? Used your charm to get her number?" Ben scowled, turning to face his partner. 

"Hey!" Sebastian yelped as he stormed over to the blonde, their faces just inches away from each other. "It is NOT like that!"

"Chosen one or not, you know the rules! If she got caught dating one of us, she would be forced to leave the Wizards within moments of joining!" Ben reminded. 

"Hey, it was an accident that Kaitlin got switched over to janitorial duty, don't look at me!" Sebastian defended, his hands up in the air. 

"Alright, alright, knock it off!" Buzz commanded as he shoved the two boys away from each other. "I swear you're acting like know it all cadets."

"So what do you suggest we do? Mickey wants Avalyn here by today, remember?" Sebastian reminded. 

Suddenly the alarm went off, red lights filling the room as various screens all around the room blinked furiously. 

"LGM's status report!" Buzz ordered. 

"We've detected a Dark Anomaly!" One yelled. 

"It's forming at the All-Stars Movie Resort!" Another added. 

Ben's mind snapped as his eyes widened with realization. "That's Avalyn's hotel..." He snapped his fingers before doing the two finger 'Disney Point' at the two LGM's. "Let the Anomaly go through."

"What?!" The exclaimed with surprise. 

"Ben, are you crazy?" Sebastian hissed harshly. 

"Ben I don't mean to question your authority as a Wizard, but I can get out there and get rid of that thing in no time flat before it affects the real world!" Buzz stated. 

"Hang on a second Buzz," Ben stuck his hand out at the commander. "I want to try something... what's the category?"

The two LGM's did some calculations before looking back up at the blonde wizard. "It's a category 1. A Phaser."

"So it's just going to make something vanish. But why--?" 

"I think this will help convince Avalyn to meet with us." Ben explained, cutting off Sebastian's speech. "She seemed a bit doubtful when I spoke with her late last night, so I don't think the Kimunicator will cut it." 

"So then why let her keep it?" Buzz asked with confusion. 

"I figured it might help her believe my story, with it being an item from one of her favourite Disney cartoon shows growing up. But I guess not. Right now, our best option for her to agree, is for her to see a Dark Anomaly happen for herself. So I have a feeling she would have to see it, in order to believe it." Ben explained. 

"It is only a category 1 Buzz. Our calculations show that little to no lives will be affected if let this one go." One of the LGM's explained. 

Buzz Lightyear looked down at the Little Green Men, pondering the thought as he cupped his chin, shutting his eyes as he did so. With a sigh, he opened his eyes, looking over at the two Wizards. "Well, other than my original plan, I can't think of anymore ideas." He turned his attention over to the British Wizard, waving his hand in his direction. "What do you think Seb?"

Sebastian groaned, running his hand down across his face. "Well... if you think this is the best option right now Ben." 

"It is." Ben agreed with a nod. 

"In your defense this isn't the most insane you've ever come up with." Sebastian defended. "Hey, remember that time when you--"

"Not. Talking. About. It." Ben protested with a growl.

Sebastian stepped away from his friend, raising his hands in the air. "Okay, okay, okay, gosh! Don't get your nickers in a twist!"

"Your orders Wizard Ben?" The LGM's asked.

"... Let the Anomaly through." He ordered.

*******

Late the next morning, my cousins and I left the hotel cafeteria after having a big breakfast. I had some cereal with a muffin, juice, and a banana, Jam had a piece of blueberry pie with milk, Ty had scrambled eggs and bacon and juice, Poppy had french toast with maple syrup and lactose chocolate milk, and Vince had Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes with bacon and strawberries. 

We all had planned to meet up with our parents before heading off to one of the parks, so we decided to wait for them by the pool. 

A shame that we didn't decide to splash in the water. Today was a great day for swimming. Truth be told it's a good day for anything really while you're here at Disney World. There's just so much to do. 

"So, where should we go to first?" I asked the group.

"Magic Kingdom, duh!" Vince answered. "What kind of question is that?"

"Yeah, but we always start with Magic Kingdom." Jam stated. "Why not go to Hollywood Studios, they've got the Tower of Terror!"

"Yeah, but I may be still too short for that!" Vince countered. 

"But don't you remember? Star Tours?" Jam reminded the boy. 

"Hang on, we can't just jump to conclusions!" Ty butted in. "...What about my Mickey plushies collection?"

The rest of us groaned at the boy, remembering his little "obsession" with the toys. 

"You'll have plenty of time for that Ty." Poppy assured him. "But has anyone else forgotten a little thing called tradition?"

"Tradition?" Vince questioned.

"Yeah, Poppy is right. We always get a photo in front of Cinderella's castle on the first day of the trip." I recalled. 

"Aw, but why? We've got plenty of time to do that too!" Vince whined. 

"Hey don't look at us! If you want to talk to somebody, talk to grandma and grandpa---"

As the four of them talked it out, I sighed, turning away as I scanned the pool area of the hotel. I was not in the mood to get all agitated and bicker. 

And it seemed Jam had the same idea because he too stepped out of the circle, bringing his phone out to make a quick clip for his vlog. 

I looked around, and I spotted a boy up on the diving board. The tall one, where you have to climb up a big ladder. He was waving to his parents, yelling and asking them if they were watching him. 

I smiled at the boy as he prepared to get ready to dive into the pool. However, I don't know if it was just me, or maybe the sun was in my eyes, but when I squinted at the diving board, it started to look all fuzzy to be for some reason. 

Maybe my eye sight is still a bit off from going to bed so late. 

Or maybe...

"Dark Anomalies can take on many forms." 

She recalled Ben's warning. Could this be a Anomaly? No, it couldn't be. There's no way!

She took a couple more steps forward, using her hands to block the sun out of her face to see more clearly what was happening. The boy stuck his tongue out, getting ready to jump, until the diving board looked like it completely frizzled out of existence for a split second.

That one split second was enough to make the boy fall on his side, phase right through the board and began his free fall with a scream towards the hard solid marble floor 

"AHHHH!"

"MY BABY!" The mother yelped as she tried to spring into action, but she tripped on her beach chair.

I gasped loudly, and acting on instinct, I sprinted forward, making a break for the boy. The whole thing seemed to play in slow motion for me. People yelling and screaming, my cousins calling after me as they jogged in my direction. 

Once I was close enough, I jumped, just catching the boy in my arms and swerving us away from the marble and into the pool. After that, time seemed to quickly speed back up as I splashed into the water. 

I kicked my feet, bringing me and the boy swimming back up, poking our heads out into the surface. I looked over at the edge of the pool to see my cousins, the boys parents, and a few lifeguards crowding around the area. 

"That was so cool!" Vince exclaimed. 

"Are you alright miss?" one of the lifeguards asked me, extending his hand out. 

I heavily breathed in and out, looking over at the boy who also seemed to be equally as shocked. I slowly swam over to the edge, the lifeguards helping us out of the pool and draping us in towels. 

"Oh thank you! Thank you so much for saving my baby boy!" The mother thanked, tears in her eyes she hugged me before taking her son in her arms. 

"Ava are you okay?" Poppy asked me as my cousins crowded around me. 

What they heck just happened? I looked back over to the diving board to see it frizzling in and out of existence again.

"Do you guys see that?" I asked them, pointing at the object. 

They all looked over, looks of confusion on their faces. 

"See what?" Poppy replied. 

"The diving board?" Vince questioned. 

Two of the lifeguards inspected it, and apparently according to them, the bolts for it were lose, making it shaky and unstable. 

But I swear, I didn't see it like that at all! 

"Maybe it was the sun messing with your head." Poppy predicted. "Come on, let's get you back to your room so you can change." 

My cousins helped me back to my room and the adults of the family had loads of questions when they saw me all soaking wet. What happened? Are you hurt? Do you need a doctor? You know, the whole deal. 

Everyone else was waiting for me outside in the hallway as I changed clothes. I changed into my black tank top with jean shorts and sneakers, bringing my wet hair up into a pony tail. 

Once satisfied with my look, I was about to grab the door handle of my room when I froze. My eyes slowly drifted over to my suitcase, the Kimunicator poking out of the outside pocket. 

Was it really a Dark Anomaly? If so, would more like that continue to appear? It almost killed a little boy for pete sake!

"Disney World is in danger... we need your help." 

With a sigh, I sucked in my gut, walked over to my suitcase, brought the Kimunicator out and powered it on. Within moments, Ben's face reappeared on the screen. 

"Yes?" He called, as if he knew I would call him.

"Alright, you've gotten my attention... where do you want to meet?"
