[ She looks at him like that, kisses his knuckles so gently, and his heart takes flight. He still doesn't understand how he got so lucky, how he could have been the one to win her affections, but here they are.

Squeezing her hand, he dips down to press a kiss to her hairline. ]

Hah - a good thing for both of us.

[ She didn't exactly have a lot of competition. She's been a first for him in so many ways. ]

So, uh - [ He starts to slow, nodding at the attraction they arrived at. ] We're here.

[ Yeah, it's Small World. ]

[adelphoi]

[ the song is already in my head and i'm not even there..

and alisaie is looking wary, but.. it's his first time here, and the small world ride is a rite of passage. so okay, here we go, she's already tugging him into the line (fast lane of course, it's nice to date a rich girl). ]

This one isn't very thrilling, but it's a bit of a staple.

[punshots]

[ And now it will never leave...(ʘ‿ʘ✿)

At least they won't have to suffer long, listening to the overtures of That Song in the queue. Fastpass 4 lyfe, baby. ]

I've heard the legends...or something like that. I already know the song by heart, anyway.

[ Who doesn't? ]

[adelphoi]

[ THANKS.. WHAT A PAL...

it's true though, they zip right past the throng of poor suckers who have to wait, and right to the front, a good thing not too many people bother to fastpass the small world ride.. ]

Of course you do.

[ she is not surprised. ]

On we go, then.

[ sigh........ ]

[punshots]

[ OH BOY OH BOY HERE THEY GO, INTO THE BOAT

In case she doesn't have hear "sea legs" about her, Prompto keeps a tight hold on her hand as they step in and sit. ]

Are you gonna send me home if I sing along?

[ He's kidding.

Possibly. ]

[adelphoi]

[ aaand into the boat they go. she doesn't necessarily need his help but i mean, any excuse to hold his hand is fine with her. when will they stop being gross? who knows, none can say.

anyway she plops down and smiles, watching the colorful lights. ]

Only if you sing it after we exit the ride.

[ which he'll.. probably do anyway lbr ]

[punshots]

[ The will stop being gross never. That is the correct answer. ]

But it gets stuck in your head! We're only just starting and it's stuck in my head already!

[ It's a true struggle. But here they go, off on their voyage around the world. There's so many tiny, dancing dolls... ]

[adelphoi]

[ 70 years from now, still gross.

but god, riding this boat is kind of embarrassing, two grown-ass people surrounded by little dancing dolls. but it's his first time so.. she must endure.. all in the name of love. ]

Then the next stop is the Teacups, if you're horribly nauseous you'll forget all about this song, I'm sure.

[punshots]

[ She truly shoulders such a burden for him... ]

Ha! Good thing I'm nausea-proof. You can spin me for days and I'd still be ready to roll.

[ That whole thing on the plane was just a coincidence! Something in the airline peanuts, probably... ]

[adelphoi]

Are you ready to put that to the test?

[ because honestly, she doesn't believe that even a little bit, especially after the plane debacle. ]

[punshots]

You bet! Bring it on, girl!

[ ...As soon as the Small World ride is over. ]

- Yeah, this is gonna be stuck in my head? All day.

[adelphoi]

[ she's going to regret this challenge.. ]

God, I shouldn't have let you on so soon. We should have waited for the end of the trip.

[ but she's.. going to make the best of it, and lean into his side, resting her head on his shoulder. ]

[punshots]

[ Well, at least he's less inclined to be obnoxious when she leans into him like that, his arm slipping easily around her shoulders. ]

...This'd be a real creepy place to get stuck if the power went out.

[ Ah, how romantic... ]

[adelphoi]

[ ah yes, her boyf is so tender.. ]

Please don't put that jinx on us.

[ THAT WOULD BE PRETTY TERRIBLE FOR THEIR FIRST DAY IN DISNEY.... ]

[punshots]

[ And then the power went out.





Just kidding. The power stays on, and those dolls keep singing! Think of the millions of times this song has been sung in these halls...chilling, really. ]

I'd knock on wood if I could! Guess I'll just have to settle - [ He knocks on the side of the boat. ]

Wouldn't that be kind of wild, though? My first ride in Disney World and the power goes out...it'd be a great story.

[adelphoi]

[ prompto... PROMPTO...

with a sour look, alisaie lifts a hand and just.. gently presses her fingertips to his mouth.. shh child, shh... ]

If these lights go out, I will push you right out of this boat.

[ threatened so very sweetly.. ]

[punshots]

[ Ah, an Alisaie Threat, be still his heart... ]

I'm sure they won't!

...Probably!

[ But look! They're almost to the end. There's a light at the end of the tunnel! Literally. ]

[adelphoi]

[ and he's still pushing it, even despite the threat!! ah he's so lucky that they make it through to the end, because she may very well made good on that threat had it actually come to that.

but no, they're escaping!! thank god, her ears are ringing. ]

I should make you ride these alone, you know.

[ ah the boat has stopped, PLEASE FREE HER ]

[punshots]

[ Wow, she sure is just about jumping out of the boat as they dock, isn't she? Chuckling, Prompto steps out behind her, and they make their way up the walkway towards the tea cups. ]

Now, where would the fun be in that?

[adelphoi]

[ she would say it is less about fun and more about punishment, but alas, even her threats are paper thin today. it's impossible to be angry in disney world, with your boyfriend..

but teacups here they come. the fast lane for this one is even quicker, unsurprisingly. ]

Are you ready to make good on your boast?

[ she's gonna have so many regrets.. ]

[punshots]

[ They're practically ushered right onto the ride, and Prompto makes a beeline for this sick-looking purple cup. He has a good feeling about that one... ]

You bet I am! It's time to put these guns to work!

[ I am not going to use that icon because it doesn't really make sense here, but cue some unnecessary and gratuitous arm flexing, Prompto is proud of his hard work and now it will pay off in the form of cup-spinning. ]

[adelphoi]

[ ah. her greatest weakness, the guns.. it's okay i will imagine the icon in my mind's eye, yeah good shit. she's embarrassingly distracted for a moment before she gets ahold of herself and clambers into the cup behind him, tugging the little door shut.

there is nothing sick looking about this purple cup, prompto, you enormous dweeb, unless you count the fact that it's likely been puked in several times. ]

Impress me.

[ because her noodle arms aren't going to be all that much help here. she's definitely strong for her size but that size is still very small..

yeah, she's definitely going to regret this. ]

[punshots]

[ heh heh...the guns, they work every time. Don't think he doesn't notice her staring!!

But okay, the ride is starting, and so he goes to work. He grabs onto that wheel in the middle of the cup and starts to turn it as fast as he can. I'm getting dizzy just thinking about it! ]

I bet I can get it going even faster!

[adelphoi]

[ for her part, alisaie snags the wheel as well, pulling hard, but oh god, it's already spinning so fast, she's definitely going to regret it. ]

No, no!

[ she shouts through a squeal of laughter, her eyes squeezing shut. but i mean, that no really means 'spin faster' amirite. ]

[punshots]

[ Yeah, that definitely sounded like "spin faster" to his ears!

And so he does. He spins the wheel even tighter, a laugh gusting out of him at the sight of her face. ]

Still goin' strong!
