Stuck In Toyland never got completed, however a sequel to A Happily Ever After Christmas is almost done!!!!
It's a Cannon side story to The Magical World Of No Return Remake, and takes place after the events of the first story, but before all the events of the planned sequel.

It follows the same path as the original A Happily Ever After Christmas, but takes it up a few notches, and is slightly longer.
All of our lovable characters such as Camaro, Troy, and Erika Von Ludwig, as well as Fairy Tail's Wendy Marvell, Carla, Chelia Blendy, Short Circuit's Johnny 5, and Everybody's favorite Love Bug Herbie are of course featured just as they are in The Magical Game Of No Return Remake.

However you can also say it's the rightful sequel to the original A Happily Ever After Christmas from 2016, since it's an almost identical story line, but in a different location setting, and with a different cast of characters.  But overall, both stories are almost identical. Smile


Disclaimer: This story is a Fictional Fairy Tail, and NOT reality.  This story is NOT to encourage pedophilia, NOR support it regardless of the main characters, it is to support True love, and the bonds of friendship, yet it maybe offensive to viewers.  Also this story does included political issues that gets pretty graphic, and may also be found offensive.
Also this story uses characters from other works, but no copy right is intended!!!!
Viewer discretion is HEAVILY advised!!!!

A Happily Ever After Christmas 2:
   A Christmas In Grand Bay Lake


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rSHe9SCWBk&list=RDMM8rSHe9SCWBk&start_radio=1

Winterfest 2017: Orange County Fairy Grounds, Costa Mesa, California, Del Oro Pacific Model Train Layout.
You can see a beautiful Christmas train pulled by an LGB Christmas 2-6-0 Mogul steam locomotive that is circling a layout next to a giant snow slide, which is one of the biggest attractions during the Holiday Season in all of Orange County.  It's practically a huge county fair that happens during the holidays.  That brings us to, the holiday season; the most wonderful time of the year.   Would this be your favorite time of the year?  You wouldn’t be the first to say yes, and you wouldn’t be the first to say no.  And when we think of the holiday season, we think of lots of presents, the amazing feasts on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, the giant Christmas Trees that tower buildings and cramped living rooms along with the fancy decorations, the beautiful steam trains taking people to far away places, playing in the icy cold snow, making snowmen and snow angels, skiing, snow boarding, snowmobiling, ice skating, baking cookies, building gingerbread houses, Christmas Concerts at the near by community church or Big City Cathedral, the anticipation of Santa Claus and his elves working hard in their workshop at the North Pole, caroling, and going to Church on Christmas Eve.
However, we never truly grasp what the holiday season is really about, and what really lies under all the glitz and glamor of all the decoration.
It's mostly a money making propaganda for huge multi-million dollar corporations, which is not wrong, but it's not entirely true either.
But not long ago in a familiar Magic Kingdom a little off the coast of Rhode Island, we found out that the holiday season is about love, spending time with the ones we love and care about the most, and treasuring every moment we have with them.  And we saw how far a young 23-year-old went to show the person he loved and care about the most how much she meant to him by getting back into the spirit of the holidays after having not celebrated the holidays in almost a decade.  In the end it became the most wonderful accomplishment, and now this is where our story continues.
We take you to the present time of November 2018, and to our favorite twin brothers who work at the now once again successful Von Ludwig Gaming Corporation in Mission Viejo, California.
Yes, I’m taking about Camaro and Troy Von Ludwig.  Their new Game, Enchanted: The Four Realms Adventure, has since become a huge hit having pushed the boundaries of the gaming world, and has now raised the bar to new heights.
However they are now entering the holiday rush, and with the holiday rush comes VERY high demands.   New Von Ludwig games are struggling to stay on the shelf because of their new found popularity, and this is proving to be a troubling challenge with the holiday rush.
However, we take you back to another familiar Magic Kingdom, and I’m talking about the beautiful and Magical City of Grand Bay Lake, home to our good friends Poe, Finn, Jim West, Artemus Gordon, Haji, Dorion, Nina, Ayumi, Carla, Princess Chelia Blendy, and of course Princess Wendy Marvell.  Despite living in the most magical city in all of the Magic Kingdom, none of them have EVER celebrated the holiday season before in their lives because it was never a custom, but all that is gonna change, and for the better.
Here we see Cam and Troy working long and hard in their office at the Von Ludwig Gaming Corporation’s Headquarters.  It’s almost 3:30 on Friday, and is now time for the twins to wrap things up and leave.
And by the way, that was Cam's train that we saw on the layout at Winter Fest. LOL!!!

Troy: Cam, it’s 3:30!!!!!

Cam: FLYIN FUCKEN SHIT!!!!!  IT’S THAT TIME ALREADY?????!!!!!!

Troy: Yes, and we promised Erika that we’d pick her up from ballet in an hour………….

Cam: You’re right; it’s also the first day of the holiday season at Disneyland, and we planned to go check out the holiday festivities like we always do!!!!!

Troy: Best book the fast passes for It's Small World and Haunted Mansion before they’re gone!!!!

Cam: I’m on it!!!!

Cam gets out his phone, gets on his account with the Disneyland App, uses the Max Pass feature on his, Troy’s, and Erika’s Premier Passes, and books the fast passes for Haunted Mansion Holiday, and It’s A Small World Holiday.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!!  I booked us a 6:30 Fast Pass for Haunted Mansion, and an 8:30 Fast Pass for It’s A Small World Holiday.  Also I got us both Preferred Parking!!!

Troy: THAT’S PERFECT!!!!!!

Cam: That’s what I thought!!!!!

Troy: Yep, now lets quit stalling and pick up Erika!!!!

Cam: Got it!!!!

Cam and Troy shut down their computers, and wrap things up in their office.

Troy: Alright, let’s go!!!!

Cam: Yep!!!!  Alrighty everyone, Troy and I are heading out for the weekend, since we promised to pick up Erika from Ballet.

Troy: Yeah, so you guys be safe and have a good weekend!!!

Cam and Troy then make their way down to the garage and hop into Cam’s beautiful new Red Volvo V60 Cross Country Wagon.

Cam: Well the holiday rush is already here!!!

Troy: Can you believe it???!!!!

Cam: Time flies!!!!

Troy: You got that right!!!!  SO MUCH has happened this year that I don’t know where to start………..

Cam: Big Joe retiring from the Disneyland Railroad in this world, us making a new game, being transported to a virtual world that feels real and making new friends friends there, (although I question it being a game since the world feels to real to be a virtual reality, so we don't need to go there), the new game becoming a HUGE HIT, Mackenzie and I finally getting together (although our relationship is kinda on the fritz and may not last longer), Little Erika getting her first period, and both you and I getting the role as CEOs once Uncle Walter Retires………………….

Troy: I tell you, things are happening WAY TOO FAST…………….

Cam: And both Mom and Dad are once again out on a Business Trip!!!

Troy: And this time they’re in South America!!!!

Cam: Panama, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina.

Troy: And they’re spending Thanksgiving in Miami Beach, Florida before they return…………….

Cam: And we’re taking care of Erika for the whole month long duration.

Troy: What else is new???!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: Hey, we have a business trip to Japan coming up in January to join partnerships, so we’re gonna be in the same boat.

Troy: Works for me!!!

Meanwhile over at the Anaheim Ballet School not too far away from Disneyland, Erika and her friends are just about to wrap things up with ballet practice.  They are all preparing for the next upcoming winter recital at the Convention Center.

Ballet Coach: Good Job girls!!!  That’s it for today!!!!  You all be safe and have a great weekend!!!!

Girls: Thank you!!!!

Sarah: Say Erika, got plans for the weekend???!!!!

Erika: Yeah, my brothers and I are going to Disneyland to check out the usual Christmas decorations like we usually do.  We plan on staying until shortly after park closing, which I believe is at 12 mid-night.  Why do you ask?

Sarah: Well, the girls and I were gonna do a slumber party tonight, and so we were wondering if you wanted to come, but it seems you already have plans………….

Erika: I’m sorry Sarah.  It’s just that my brothers and I do this every year on the first day Disneyland has their holiday festivities, and it’s been our tradition since I was 7.

Sarah: It’s okay, I understand!!!

Erika: Maybe you and the girls could sleep over at my place next week?

Sarah: Really????!!!!!

Erika: Yeah, my brother Troy would throw parties EVERY SINGLE weekend throughout the Spring and Summer, and since I’m staying with my brothers, I’m sure they won’t mind.  Besides, I have Cam practically wrapped around my little finger, so it’s VERY HARD for him to say no to me.  *Giggles*

Lexi: Hey, I’m all for it!!!!!

Haley: Cam is the sweetest big brother, and you are SOOOOOOOOO LUCKY!!!!!!

Brooke: I only wish my big brother was that nice……………

Erika: Troy can be a little mean sometimes, but I still love him, however Cam is very special………………..

Anna: Isn’t your complex relationship with your eldest brother a little too much?

Erika: Hey, Cam and I have had a special bond since day 1, and we really understand each other.  However, I know not to go too far because I’d never forgive myself if Cam got into trouble because of me.  I know we play and tease each other a lot, but it’s harmless, and it’s how we bond.

Sarah: It still cracks me up on how you can pin him down just by sitting on him for hours!!!! LOL!!!!

Erika: That NEVER gets old!!!!  Besides, he’s MUCH BIGGER than me, so I gotta show him whose really in charge in some ways!!! *Giggles*

Haley: Hey, a little sister has to do what she has to do!!!! *Giggles*

Erika: EXACTLY!!!!  The big brother thinks he’s the one in charge, but once you got him pinned to the ground using your butt, the ball's in your court.   My new best friend Wendy learned this trick, and is now doing it too!!!! *Giggles*  Unfortunately Cam's girlfriend Mackenzie has figured it out too!!! -_-

Brooke: I only wish my brother was like that because he normally doesn’t give me the time of day.

Sarah: Speaking of Wendy, how is she????!!!!

Haley: Have you also seen Carla or Chelia recently??!!!

Lexi: How about Manaka, Sayu, Miuna, Nina, or Ayumi????!!!!!

Anna: Oh my gosh, they are SOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!  HOW ARE THEY????!!!!!

Erika: I’ve unfortunately been too busy with ballet, cheerleading, synchronized swimming, and soon figure skating so I haven’t really had the time to visit Grand Bay Lake recently.  But Cam and Troy used to visit fairly often, and would keep me updated.  So far, Cam and Troy have told me that Wendy, Chelia, Carla, Miuna, Manaka, Sayu, Nina, and Ayumi are doing good, but I do miss seeing them.

Sarah: Maybe we can go give em a visit during our slumber party next weekend???!!!!

Lexi: Yeah, I’d love to see Wendy again!!!!!

Anna: And Carla is SOOOOO COOL!!!!

Erika: I am SOOOOOOO DOWN for it, so I don’t see why not!!!!

Soon Cam and Troy pull up to the curb just outside the studio.  Cam gets out of the car, kicks the tailgate, and the trunk opens.

Erika: Well, it looks like my brothers are here, so I gotta go, but I’ll ask my brothers about next week!!!!

Sarah: Sounds good!!!!  You and your brothers have a fun night at Disneyland!!!!

Brooke: Be safe Erika!!!!

Erika: I will, you too girls!!!!!

Erika then picks up her ballet bag, and makes her way out to the car.

Erika: HEY CAM!!!!

Cam: Hey Erika!!!!!

Erika jumps up and wraps her arms around Cam before giving him a gentle kiss on the cheek, and Cam kisses her back.

Cam: How was ballet?

Erika: It was good, a little tiring, but I AM SOOOOO ready for Disneyland now!!!!

Cam: Hey, Troy and I are on the same page!!!!!

Troy: Can we put the bag in the trunk of the car already????!!!!!  I MEAN COME ON!!!!  I WANNA SEE A DECORATED DISNEYLAND ALREADY!!!! LOL!!!!!

Cam: No need to ask me twice!!!!!

Erika: Hold on!!!!

Erika takes a beautiful blue bow out of her bag to match her blue tutu, along with her comfy pair of white platform shoes.  

Erika: Alright, now you can put it in the car!!!!

Cam: Awesome!!!!  I’ve got your red Christmas styled jacket waiting for you on the backseat of the car!!!!

Erika: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Cam: It’s gonna be cold, so best to wrap up warm!!!!

Erika: No need to ask me!!!!!

Erika then gets in the back seat before taking off her ballet slippers and sliding on her comfy white platform shoes.  She then takes her hair out of a ballet bun, and puts it into its usual ponytail before placing her bow on top.  She then puts on her beautiful and toasty red Christmas jacket, and then puts on her seat belt as Cam puts her bag in the trunk, pushes the close button, and the trunk closes.
Cam then gets in the driver’s seat, puts on his seat belt, depresses the clutch, puts the car in gear, and drives off.

Cam: Alright, we just need to get to Ball Road, and we’re on our way to Mickey & Friends.

Troy: And the timing couldn’t be any better because now traffic on the freeways are getting CRAZY!!!!!

Cam: UUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!!  You can say that again!!!!

Cam soon drives onto Ball Road, and it’s not long until they reach the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure.

Troy: ALRIGHT!!!!  We’re finally at the parking structure.

Cam: And not a moment too soon because EVERYBODY’S gonna wanna show up within the hour.

Troy: The second showing of the Christmas Fantasy Parade is at 6:30.

Cam: And our Fast Pass for Haunted Mansion Holiday is good from 6:30 -7:30, and then our Fast Pass For It’s A Small World Holiday is good from 8:30-9:30.

Troy: So I say, let’s eat at Naples in Downtown, then get a spot for the 6:30 showing of the parade, take the train to New Orleans, use our Haunted Mansion Holiday Fast Pass, get back on the train for either Fantasyland or Tomorrowland, hit a couple rides, use our Fast Pass for It’s A Small World Holiday, then get a spot for the 9:30 Believe In Holiday Magic Fireworks near Small World, then make our way back to Main Street, get a spot for the 10:40 showing of the Main Street Electrical Parade, and while we wait, one of us can make a run to Starbucks in Main Street.  And when the parade’s over, I have a feeling we’ll end the night off on the train, and I’m fine with that………..

Cam: LOL!!!!!  You know me well!!!!

Troy: You’re my other half, so what do you expect????!!!!!  Besides, that kinda night works perfectly for me!!!!!

Erika: And it works for me too!!!!!

Troy: I’ll put our names down for a 5:15 reservation at Naples!!!!

After entering the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure, Cam shows his mobile receipt at the tollbooth before the cast member places a Preferred Parking Sign on his car’s windshield.
He then drives his car up to the second floor of the Parking Structure, and parks just in front of the escalators.

Cam: Alrighty!!!!  Here we are!!!!

Troy: And I take it because of the tram re-routing, it’s best to take the stairs here???!!!!

Cam: Yep, take the stairs by the cast gate, cross the tram route, and then we’ll get screened.
If we were to take the escalators down, and enter through the courtyard, we’d probably wind up in a long line.

Troy: Good point!!!!

Erika: Alright, I’m ready to go when you are!!!!

Cam: Alrighty, just let me put my coat on, and then lets go!!!!

Troy: Good idea, I can’t forget that!!!!

Cam and Troy put on their jackets before Cam presses the door lock sensor on the driver door handle, and the car locks itself.
He, Troy, and Erika then make their way down the staircase passed the Cast Member gate, cross the tram route, and get through bag check security just in the nick of time.

Cam: We JUST made it!!!!

Troy: Yep because now there is a HUGE line outside to get through security!!!!!

Erika: Good thinking on your part on taking the stairs!!!!!

Cam: And here comes our tram now!!!!

Tram M305 comes rolling into the loading area, and once stopped, Cam, Troy, and Erika board in the front double door of the front car behind the tractor, and are soon greeted by their good friend Chris.

Chris: HEY GUYS!!!!

Cam: Hey Chris, it’s good to see you!!!!

Troy: Long time no see Chris!!!!

Erika: How are things with you and Renesmee?

Chris: They’re going alright so far, and we’re meeting up with some friends in the park after I take my last trip, which is now?

Cam: Oh, you’re almost off????!!!!!

Chris: Yep!!!!  I just have 20 minutes on the clock since I’m off at 5:30, and since it’s 4:45, I have just enough time to squeak in this last trip.

Troy: That’s awesome!!!!  Gonna enjoy the holiday festivities as well!!!!

Chris: Yessiry Bob!!!!

Just then the Tram RT Ruben shows up!!!!

Ruben: Hey Chris, we’re good there, oh HEY CAM, TROY, & ERIKA????!!!!!!  How are you 3 doing?  Are you guys going into enjoy the first night of the Christmas Spectaculars???!!!!!

Cam: HEY RUBEN!!!!!  And yes we sure are!!!!!

Troy: It’s sort of our family tradition that we’ve been doing since Erika was 7.

Erika: And we don’t plan on stopping!!!!

Ruben: That’s wonderful!!!!  After this trip, I’m gonna meet up with some friends in the park myself!!!!

Cam: Well hey, tonight’s a good night to do it!!!!

Ruben: It sure is, now I’ll get us out of here since Chris and I are off after this trip!!!!

Troy: Sounds good, and it was great seeing you guys!!!!

As Chris and Ruben get back to their positions on the tram, the tram is soon almost jam packed, and ready to go.
Ruben then gives Chris the all clear before Chris gives 2 blasts on the horn and drives the tram out of the loading area.

Erika: IT’s always great seeing our friends Chris and Ruben.

Cam: Most definitely!!!!  They’ve both been here for 4 years, and are very passionate about their jobs!!!!

Troy: And you don’t see that very often…………..

Cam: Except in Grand Bay Lake, Las Vegas, and Walt Disney World…………

Erika: Yeah, and speaking of which, there’s something I wanna ask you guys……….

Cam: Sure!

Troy: Go right ahead!!!!

Erika: I was wondering if it was okay if I had a sleep over next Friday since Sarah invited me over to her house, and I had to turn her down because us 3 are doing our usual tradition.  I felt bad for having to turn her down, so I kinda wanna make it up to her.

Cam: I don’t have a problem!!!

Troy: And neither do I since I throw parties all the time during the Spring and Summer Months, so why not???!!!!

Erika: REALLY????!!!!!  

Cam: Of course!!!!  You rarely ask us for anything, and since you asked us nicely, we don’t have a reason to say no.

Troy: And we know you’re responsible when it comes to this since you’ve been to a few sleepovers before, and you’ve had your friends over at Mom & Dad’s, so we don’t have a problem!!!!

Erika: GREAT!!!!  That’s one thing out of the way!!!!

Cam: There’s another???!!!!!

Erika: Yes, I was also wondering if it was okay for us to visit Grand Bay Lake to see our friends Wendy, Chelia, Carla, Manaka, Miuna, Sayu, Nina, and Ayumi???!!!!  The girls haven’t seen them since your BIG Birthday celebration back in June, and all wanna go say hi.

Cam: I’m sure, Wendy, Chelia, Carla, Manaka, Miuna, Sayu, Nina, and Ayumi would LOVE IT!!!!

Troy: Yeah, we’ll call up Mackenzie and Chloe, and have em join in too, if they’re up for it!!!!

Erika: OH MY GOSH, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Cam: Of course!!!!!

Troy: It’s also about time we do our twice a month visit to Grand Bay Lake anyways, so this works out perfectly!!!!!

Erika: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!  YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST!!!!

Cam: Anything for our little sister!!!!

Troy: Yep!!!!

Erika then wraps her arms around her brothers before giving them gentle kisses on the cheeks.
Meanwhile Chris gets the tram to gently coast into the unloading area nice and close to the park entrance before bringing it to a gentle stop.

Ruben: Alright, please lower your head and watch your step as you disembark on the driver’s left hand side!

Cam, Troy, and Erika disembark then tram before telling Chris and Ruben good bye and thank you.

Cam: Thanks again Chris!!!

Chris: Hey no problem, it was great seeing you guys!!!!

Troy: Likewise!!!

Ruben: Alright, I can see that the loading zone outside of the World Of Disney is getting busy, so we better do a quick pick up before we clock out.

Chris: Sounds like a good idea, and it’s a good thing we’ve refueled earlier!!!!

Ruben: Yep!!!!

Chris: By the way Cam, I’m happy to inform you that Ward Kimball Number #5 is the last train out tonight with the Holiday IV Green and Lilly Belle.  Also, my friend Will told me that Engineer’s Big Eric, Ryan L, and Dano are on her, so it’ll be a fun night!!!

Cam: AWESOME, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Chris: Not a problem!!!!  That’s my favorite train too, so it’s a win/win!!!!!

Cam: AWESOME, looks like we’ll be seeing you and Renesmee for the second showing of the parade and on the train!!!!

Chris: YEP!!!!  You got that right!!!!

Ruben: You guys have fun in the parks now!!!!

Troy: WE WILL!!!!

Chris & Ruben: Now have a Magical Night You Guys!!!!

Erika: Thank you so much!!!!  You too!!!!!

Chris and Ruben get back to work for their final trip as Cam, Troy, and Erika make their way over to Naples, and are instantly seated outside around a nice warm fire pit.

Cam: Alright!!!!!  Time to order!!!!!

Troy: Moscow Mule sounds good!!!!!

Erika: Naples Blush sounds perfect!!!!!

Cam: And I’m taking the hurricane!!!!!

Troy: Then start off with the calamari, and then order a Large Meatball Pizza????!!!!

Cam & Erika: THAT SOUNDS PERFECT!!!!!

Troy: I had a feeling you’d like the sound of that!!!!!

Erika: I LOVE that we do this every year!!!!

Cam: So do I!!!!

Troy: Me too!!!!

Cam: I only wish Wendy, Chelia, Carla, and everyone else back in Grand Bay Lake could experience something like this!!!!

Troy: Oh, knowing how glamorous Grand Bay Lake is, I’m sure they do something VERY EXTRAVEGANT for Christmas.

Erika: That’s what I was thinking!!!!  It’d be against the law if The Underwater Castaway Sapphire Kingdom didn’t celebrate the holidays, and I would know since I’m its ruler as the Princess. *Giggles*

Cam: However, there’s a charm to Disneyland during the holidays that you just can’t get anywhere else.

Troy: I know what you mean.  We’ve also been to Walt Disney World and Las Vegas during the holidays, but there’s something extra magical here during the holidays.

Erika: Yeah, I feel that Christian Boltar in A Happily Ever After Christmas, was NOT lying when he stated that Disneyland celebrates the holiday season better than Walt Disney World does.

Troy: Walt Disney World is pretty damn awesome with their VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS parties, but at the same time everything just feels more intimate here.

Cam: I do enjoy Believe In Holiday Magic A LOT MORE than I do Holiday Wishes in terms of Fire Works shows……………

Troy: Ironically, Main Street Electrical was moved here and Paint The Night was moved to Florida, and Main Street Electrical is MUCH BETTER than Paint The Night.

Erika: Yeah because Paint The Night is BORING!!!!!

Cam: You got that right!!!!  I can watch Main Street Electrical over and over again and it never gets old.  Where as Paint The Night is fun at first, but you easily get sick of it after a while.

Troy: And Main Street Electrical is more true to Walt Disney given that it’s full of a bunch of his classics!!!!

Cam: EXACTLY!!!!  All the classics used in Main Street Electrical were created and enjoyed by Walter Elias Disney himself, where as Paint The Night Doesn’t have a single one of Walt Disney’s Classics in it.

Erika: And that is very sad.  As much as I LOVE The Little Mermaid, I’m not a huge fan of the parade float……………..the Cinderella Float however is WOW!!!!!

Troy: Cam and I totally agree!!!!!  The Cinderella section NEVER gets old!!!!!

Cam: Hence why I’m glad we incorporated it into Grand Bay Lake’s Nighttime spectaculars…………

Cam & Troy: And NOT Paint The Night!!!!!

Erika: Good call on both of you guys.

Then out of nowhere Cam receives a long distance Face Time Call from Wendy on his cell phone.

Cam: Hey guys, I’m getting a Face Time Call from Wendy!!!!!

Troy: AWESOME!!!!

Erika: YOU HAVE TO ANSWER IT!!!!!

Cam: I’M ON IT!!!!

Cam answers the call without hesitation.

Wendy: HEY GUYS, IT’S SO GOOD TO SEE YA!!!!!

Chelia: YEAH, WE REALLY MISS YOU GUYS!!!!!

Carla: AND WE’RE ALWAYS HAPPY TO SEE YOUR SMILING FACES!!!!!

Cam: And we’re happy to see you too!!!!  In fact we’re doing our twice a month visit to Grand Bay Lake next weekend!

Wendy: REALLY?????!!!!!

Erika: YEAH!!!!  The girls from Ballet asked to come over to our house for a sleepover, and since they haven’t seen you in a while, I thought it would great if we all came over to visit you girls!!!!!

Troy: And since Cam and I are due to visit anyways, we figured why not?

Wendy: YAY!!!!!

Chelia: THAT’S GREAT!!!!!  WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU GUYS!!!!!

Carla: THAT WILL BE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!

Wendy: It will be great to see your friends from your world again Erika!!!!!

Erika: And they’re VERY EXCITED to see you girls again too!!!!!

Carla: Anyways, how have things been with you guys?

Cam: Things have been fairly busy at the gaming corporation, and since the new game took off, it’s been almost IMPOSSIBLE to keep the game on shelf for very long.

Troy: And it doesn’t help now that we’re entering the holiday rush…………….

Cam: UGH!!!!  Don’t get me started on that!!!!

Troy:  Supplies for the new games are always low during most of the year given the high demand from its popularity, but during the holiday season it's just gonna make it worse.

Cam: It’s the busiest and most stressful time of the year, but you gotta do what you gotta do!!!

Wendy: What is the holiday rush if you don’t mind me asking?

Carla: And is the Holiday season something that only happens in your world?

Chelia: I’ve Never heard of such a thing as the holiday season!

Cam: WHAT?????!!!!!!!!!

Troy: YOU’RE TELLING ME YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF THE BIG 3 HOLIDAYS THAT OCCUR DURING THIS TIME OF YEAR????!!!!!!

Chelia: Big 3 Holidays during this time of year?

Erika: Kwanzaa, Hanukah, and CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

Wendy: I’m sorry, but we’ve never heard of em………………..

Carla: We’ve lived here our whole lives and never heard of such a thing……………..

Chelia: The Magic Kingdom has no idea about this holiday season you are speaking of………………

Cam, Troy, and Erika were all FLABBERGASTED.  They had no idea that their best friends from Grand Bay Lake have never experienced the magic of the wonderful holiday season.

Wendy: Anyways, what are you guys up to?

Cam: Well here’s the thing, Troy, Erika, and I are here at Disneyland in our world to check out the holiday festivities here like we usually do.

Troy: It’s the first day of the holiday season here at Disneyland, and as a tradition, Cam, Erika, and I always come here on day one of the holidays.

Erika: It’s a tradition we’ve been doing since I was 7 years old, and old enough to stay up passed mid-night on weekends………………..

Cam: Everything is fully decorated in Christmas décor here at Disneyland, and there’s even a Christmas Parade, and Holiday Fireworks show at night here through the months of November and December.

Wendy, Chelia, & Carla: WOW!!!!!!!

Wendy: I REALLY WISH that we can go to your world someday and experience these things!!!!!

Chelia: Yeah, it sounds wonderful!!!!!

Carla: There is so much from your world that we don’t know about, and we’d like to know more about…………….

At that moment Cam, Troy, and Erika knew what they had to do.

Wendy: Would it be okay if I talked to Cam alone???!!!!

Erika: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!! -_-

Cam: Come on Erika!!!!!  You know Wendy doesn’t get much time with us, and she is my best friend besides you, and Herbie……………..

Erika: FINE, just don’t take too long!!!!

Cam: It won’t be long I promise!!!!

Chelia: Well since Cam and Wendy want some alone time, Carla and I will let you go!!!!!  It was great seeing you guys!!!!!

Troy: You be safe Chelia!!!!

Chelia: Thanks Troy, I will!!!!  And I can’t wait to see you guys next weekend!!!!!

Carla: You guys have a good night, and stay out of trouble!!!!

Erika: Will do Carla!!!!

Carla: Good night you guys!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Erika: Good Night Chelia and Carla!!!!!  We’ll see you next weekend!!!!!!

Cam then moves over to a quiet corner and talks to Wendy alone.

Wendy: Glad we get some alone time.  I really miss you Cam!!!!

Cam: I really miss you too!!!!

Wendy: I’m sorry that we don’t really understand this whole holiday season thing.  I hope you’re not mad at us.

Cam: Not at all, it’s just kinda sad that you and your friends haven’t really celebrated the holiday season.

Wendy: Why do you say that?

Cam: Because here in our world it’s the most wonderful time of the year.  Everything is beautifully decorated, everyone is happy and more kind to one another, the food is more amazing, there are so many fun and awesome activities to do, the weather’s better, and it’s a time where family and friends spend more time together.

Wendy: I see……………IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL!!!!!  I REALLY wanna go to your world so badly Cam!!!!!

Cam: I know you do, and I promise that someday Troy and I will find a way to bring you here to our world.

Wendy: And I can’t wait for that day to happen!!!!!
Anyways, how’s Herbie doing???!!!!!  I really miss him too!!!!!

Cam: (Well it’s complicated given that he’s actually a 1:18 model that only becomes real in once he arrives in your world, and in this world the car is 100% percent fictional and is owned by Disney!!!!)  He’s doing great, but he really misses you!!!!!

Wendy: THAT’S GREAT, and I really miss him too!!!!!  He’s nothing but a good friend, even though we don’t really speak the same language, I get the feeling he always understands us, no matter what situation you’re in or how we’re feeling.  He somehow always manages to understand us and our feelings.

Cam: Jim Douglas did say that understanding was one of his greatest strengths.  

Wendy: I know!!!!!  Once you gave me those Herbie movies, I couldn’t get enough of them!!!!  Although it drives Carla and Chelia crazy that I watch em a lot, but they also kinda understand since he was their friend too!!!!
Though I don’t like what happens to him in some of the movies………………..

Cam: I know.  The most painful things to watch are when he gets destroyed by his evil twin Horace, when he’s forced to walk the plank before being dumped into the sea, and then later on put in the car smasher by Mr. Rainey because of that stupid Uncle Randy.

Wendy: I know………….those scenes REALLY make me cry, but I’m glad he gets taken care of in the end.  I REALLY LOVE how he and his cute friends chase away that BIG MEANIE!!!!!

Cam: Oh, you mean Alonzo Hawk!!!!  And I completely agree!!!!  That guy was an ass……

Wendy: CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!  WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!!!!!!! -_-

Cam: That guy was an idiot Peckerhead who had it coming.  In fact he reminds me so much of our no good president, Donald Trump, but that's a whole other issue you don't have to know about. LOL!!!!

Wendy: It's okay, I don't mind, really!!!!  But anyways, I also REALLY love it when he falls in love………………

Cam: Oh, Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo is my most favorite movie of all time, and it’s where you see Herbie’s most vulnerable side.  Heck he almost throws the race to save the one he loves.

Wendy: I know, and that was just so cute and so sweet!!!!  And I’m so glad they end up together at the end of the film, and if I had to choose a favorite, that would probably be mine too.

Cam: Great minds think alike!!!!

Wendy: Yep, they sure do!!!! *Giggles*
Anyways, please tell Herbie I said Hi;  I really miss him!!!!

Cam: I will.

Wendy: I can’t wait to see you again next weekend!!!!

Cam: Same here!!!!  It’s been too long!!!!
Anyways, where are Ayumi and Nina, it would have been nice to see them?

Wendy: They're staying the night at the Underwater Kingdom with Manaka, Miuna, and Sayu.

Cam: That's great!!!! Tell them I said hello!!!!

Wendy: Of course!!!
Anyways, how are things with you and Mackenzie?

Cam: They're going okay I guess, things are kinda complicated...........

Wendy: I'm sorry.

Cam: Don't be.  No relationship is perfect, and if things don't work out, and she's not the one, then it's not the end of the world.  I'm still only 23 and have plenty of time.

Wendy: Okay, but I really hope things work out.  If they don't, you know you can always talk to me okay?

Cam: Of course!! Smile

Wendy: Anyways, I’ll let you go since Chelia, Carla, and I are meeting up with the rest of the girls in the underwater kingdom.  You Troy, and Erika have your tradition going on, and so I don’t wanna hold you up.

Cam: Hey, you’re not holding me up at all!!!!  I’m always more than happy to talk to you.

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK* Awwwwwwww, Stop it!!!!!  You’re embarrassing me!!!!  *Giggles*

Wendy then blows a gentle kiss at Cam.

Wendy: Anyways, I must go, and so should you, but I’ll see you next weekend, okay?

Cam: Sounds like a good plan!!!!

Wendy: Good Night Cam!!!!

Cam: Good Night Wendy!!!!

Wendy then blows another gentle kiss at Cam as they hang up, and Cam makes his way back over to Troy and Erika just in time.

Troy: AWESOME, PERFECT TIMING CAM!!!!

Erika: YES, OUR FOOD IS HERE!!!!

Cam: PERFECT, LET’S DIG IN!!!!

As Cam, Troy, and Erika enjoy their meal, they can’t help but feel bad about the fact that their friends in Grand Bay Lake having NEVER celebrated the magic of the holiday season or know what the holiday season really was.

Cam: I can’t help but feel bad for Wendy, Chelia, Carla, and the rest of our friends in Grand Bay Lake.

Troy: Yeah, I know what you mean……………

Erika: It makes me kinda sad because the holiday season is such a beautiful time of the year!

Troy: I know, and we’ve been very fortunate enough to have this kind of tradition that we’re doing now, where as others are not so fortunate…………….

Cam: And this really opens your eyes about those who are not so fortunate enough to celebrate something so wonderful…………………….BUT I say lets change that for good!!!!!

Troy: And I completely agree with you on this!!!!!

Erika: ME TOO!!!!!

Cam: Since Wendy, Chelia, Calra, and the rest of our friends in Grand Bay Lake can’t come here to celebrate the Holiday Season; we need to bring the Holiday Season to them!!!!!!

Troy: I COMPLETELY AGREE and am on board!!!!!  This year, we are spending Christmas in Grand Bay Lake!!!!

Erika: Lets use the festivities of tonight to give us ideas of what we can do in Grand Bay Lake!!!!

Cam: Anything that we can think of that pops into our mind here, let’s bring that with us to Grand Bay Lake, and give that same magical experience to our friends there!!!!

Troy: And not just the big things, but the little things too!!!!!  It’s some of the smallest and finest details that make all the difference!!!!!

Erika: And I know this will mean SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH to them when they experience it for the first time!!!!

Cam: Then that is settled!!!!  We are gonna give the City Of Grand Bay Lake a holiday celebration they will never forget just like Christian Boltar did in Magic Kingdom City for his Fiance Lilly!!!!!

Troy: I will handle everything at the gaming corporation, while you Cam handle everything in Grand Bay Lake!!!!!

Erika: I will keep the girls distracted as best as I can when I’m not busy with Ballet, Diving, or Cheerleading!!!!

And with that a plan went into action!!!!  Our 3 favorite Von Ludwig siblings are getting together to throw their special friends in the Magical City Of Grand Bay Lake, a wonderful holiday celebration they will never forget, and this was gonna to change the lives of our friends forever, and for the better.


To Be Continued……………….

The Holiday Festivities Of Disneyland!


After enjoying a nice meal at Naples, Cam, Troy, and Erika make their into Disneyland, and find a good viewing spot on the balcony of Main Street Train Station.

Cam: Well, here’s as good of a viewing spot as any!!!!

Troy: Yep!!!!  We’ve got 20 minutes to go, and when this is over, we can high tail it to the front of the line for the train before it gets busy!!!!

Erika: Everything’s so beautiful as it always is!!!!!  I CAN’T WAIT!!!!

Announcement: LADIES & GENTLEMEN, BOYS & GIRLS……………
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES THE LIGHTS WILL BE DIM SO YOU CAN ENJOY OUR CHRISTMAS FANTASY PARADE!!!!  FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THOSE AROUND YOU, PLEASE REMAIN IN THE SAME AREA UNTIL THE LIGHTS RETURN TO NORMAL!!!
THANK YOU!!!!

Troy: If you’d like I’ll make a quick run to Starbucks on Main Street and get us some cookies & hot chocolate!!!!

Cam & Erika: YES PLEASE!!!!

Erika: THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!!

Troy: AWESOME!!!!!! YOU GOT IT!!!!

Troy puts in an order for the hot chocolate and cookies via the Disneyland mobile app before he makes a quick run over to Starbucks on Main Street.
Erika grabs Cam’s hand and holds it close to her.

Erika: I always love it when we go to Disneyland with it being just us siblings.

Cam: Same here!!!!!  

Erika: Do you remember how this tradition started again???!!!!  I’m sorry if I ask this over and over again because I keep forgetting.

Cam: No problem!!!!  It started given that Mom & Dad ALWAYS took us here on the first day of the Holiday Season since Troy and I were little and old enough to stay up after mid-night.  They did it as a way of making up for the fact that they were always busy with work, but one year Mom and Dad had a business trip out of state……………
But luckily Troy and I had just gotten our driver’s licenses, and were handed down Mom’s & Dad’s Volvo Wagons.  And to make matters better, you just turned 7, and were just old enough to stay up passed mid-night.
And Mom & Dad gave us money for all 3 of us to come here to Disneyland, and since this was already a tradition for Troy and I we decided to continue doing it, and make you a part of it too.

Erika: NOW I REMEMBER!!!!!!  I ALWAYS HAD A BED TIME, BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE THAT I DIDN’T HAVE ONE!!!!!

Cam: YEP!!!!  Because Troy and I knew that if we left without you, you’d be sad given that Mom and Dad were away on business, and since you were 7, we figured it’d be alright to take you with us after your gymnastics practice since 7 was the age Mom & Dad first took Troy and I to see the holiday festivities here at Disneyland.
Seeing your sweet little face light up after seeing all this for the first time really made Troy and I very happy.  And we felt since we were out on our own with no actual adult supervision, it was a milestone of freedom for us, so that made it an even more fun night.
We’ve been doing it ever since, and we have no intention of stopping.

Erika: And if I loved the holidays before; I loved them even more since then…………

Erika gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek and Cam gives her a gentle kiss back as Troy returns with the hot chocolate and cookies.

Troy: Alright, here you guys go!!!!

Cam: Thanks!!!!

Erika: Yeah, Thank you so much!!!!

Troy: Hey, no problem!!!!

Erika: Cam was just telling me how this tradition started!!!!!

Troy: I remember it like it was yesterday, and I remember being bummed that we were possibly not gonna do it………….but then you decided that we should just drive right over here ourselves after picking up Erika from gymnastics because you didn’t want this tradition to end.

Cam: NO WAY!!!!  I wasn’t gonna let it end, so I figured we’ll do it with or without Mom & Dad.

Troy: And I’m glad we did because it was Erika’s first time, and the look on your face when seeing all this for the first time was priceless. ☺

Cam: That it was, and it was a moment we’ll always treasure!!!!

Then out of nowhere, all the lights in Main Street’s Town Square go dark, and the parade’s music pops up on the park’s P/A System.

Cam: AND HERE IT COMES!!!!!

Troy: OH YEAH!!!!

Erika: AWESOME!!!!

Announcement: Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls!!!!!   It’s time to share the magic of the merriest season of all as Disney proudly presents A CHRISTMAS FANTASY!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0MI9OSeKuk

Music:

It’s a special magic at Christmastime this year.
Hearts are gay and merry, and full of yuletide cheer!
The sprit of the season will make our dreams come true.
Memories of Christmas are here for me and you.
With caroling, bells ring-a-ling,
And Santa Claus will always be
Part of Christmas fantasy.
On this special holiday,
Old Saint Nick will load his sleigh.
Santa always finds his way
In a Christmas fantasy.
Children sing a bright encore,
Counting presents and keeping score.
No one sleeps the night before
A Christmas fantasy!

The army of Toy Soldiers come into view blowing their trumpets, and banging on their drums as they march down the parade route.

Troy: NOW THIS IS CLASSIC!!!!!

Cam: HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS???!!!!

Erika: MY THOUGHT’S EXACTLY!!!!

The first parade floats soon started showing up as a cute toy bear and giant music box ballerina followed by many dancing elves as the parade makes its way through Town Square.

Erika: NOW THAT IS REALLY CUTE!!!!!

Cam & Troy: NO SURPRISE!!!!!

Cam: Should have expected that since you’re a ballerina yourself!!!!

Troy: And you’re still wearing your tutu from ballet practice!!!!

Erika: I KNOW BECAUSE IT’S SO CUTE!!!! *Giggles*  It is VERY uncomfortable however, and it's even MORE uncomfortable when I have to wear tights instead of underwear, which SUCKS!!!!!

Troy: If you keep this up, they might actually hire you for that ballerina position!!!!

Cam: My thought’s exactly!!!!

Erika: OH, HAAAAA, HAAAAA, HAAAAA!!! Very funny!!!! -_-

Music:
The spirit of the season will make our dreams come true.
Memories of Christmas are here for me and you!
With caroling, bells ring-a-ling,
And Santa Claus will always be
Part of Christmas fantasy.

A bunch more beautiful toy soldiers come marching down the parade route through Town Square blowing their trumpets followed by a massive float with Mickey and Friends.

Mickey: Happy Holidays To One And ALL!!!!!

Minnie: Merry Christmas Everyone!!!  Oh, This is such a wonderful time of year!!!!!!

Mickey: And How IT’s My Favorite Season!!!!

Soon a bunch of snowmen come dancing along the parade route of Main Street.

Troy: This is giving me ideas on how we can bring Christmas to Grand Bay Lake…………

Cam: I was thinking the same thing………………

Erika: You mean like getting this parade over there?????!!!!!!!

Troy: You hit the nail on the head Erika!!!!!!

Cam: We’d have an identical copy built just like they have of Main Street Electrical!!!!

Erika: THAT WOULD BE SOOOO COOL IF WE PULLED IT OFF!!!!!

skiers come skiing down the parade route as a massive Christmas storybook makes its way through Town Square followed by a massive Christmas tree along with some figure skaters.

Cam & Troy: UH-OH!!!!!

Erika: HERE COMES FROZEN!!!!!!!!!!

Cam & Troy: UGH OH BOY!!!!!!!!

Erika OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

And right they were because a massive Ice Skating Rink float comes parading down the route with Anna, Elsa, and Olaf skating on top of it.

Cam & Troy: There’s always gotta be something to do with Frozen when it comes to the Holidays!!!!!!

Erika: I KNOW, AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Cam & Troy: UUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!  

Cam: Prepare for the Frozen 1 & 2 DVDs to begin playing!!!!!

Troy: I thought you were obsessed when it came to Herbie, but Erika has you beat when it comes to FROZEN!!!!!

Cam: I am SOOOOOOOOOO GLAD that we didn’t incorporate Frozen into Grand Bay Lake!!!!

Erika: WE GOTTA GET FROZEN INTO GRAND BAY LAKE SOMEHOW!!!!!!

Troy: WAY TO GO CAMARO, YOU JUST JYNXED IT!!!!!!

Soon comes a massive cookbook on baking followed by dancing Gingerbread men, bakers, and a massive Gingerbread house with no one other than Goofy and Pluto baking on it.  And who should be driving the parade float but their friend Jay.

Cam, Troy, & Erika: Uh-Oh!!! Goofy!!! LOL!!!!

Again, they were right because Goofy was being a total cluts and making a mess of everything as usual. LOL!!!

Goofy: HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!!! UH-YUCKAH!!!!!  GORSH!!!  I ALWAYS WANTED TO BUILD A GINGERBREAD HOUSE!!!!
THIS ONE’S BIG ENOUGH TO LIVE IN!!!!  TALK ABOUT GOING HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!! UH-YUCKAH!!!!! LOL!!!!!!
YOU BET PLUTO!!!  TIME TO GET DECORATIN’!!!!!!!
WOAAAAHH, WOAAAAAH, WOOAAAAH, WOAAAH, WOOOOAAAAAAH, WOOOAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Erika: HEY JAY!!!!!!!!

Jay slows down the Gingerbread House float, and waves.  Sadly no one can see him waving as he drives the float.
Soon come Cinderella’s evil step sisters followed by Snow White and Prince Charming as they come dancing down the parade route with a massive float all beautifully decorated with Princess Tiana and Princes Naveen dancing on top of it along with Cinderella and her Prince Charming, and Belle and the beast on the rear with Princess Ariel and Prince Eric following behind the float.

Erika: OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!!!!!  WE HAVE TO GET THE DISNEY PRINCESSES INCLUDED!!!!!  THEY ARE JUST SOOOOOO PRETTY!!!!!!

Cam: I’d hate to admit it, but you’re right Erika!!!!

Troy: I’m quite sure we’d never hear the end of it from Carla, Wendy, and Chelia if we left out the princesses!!!! LOL!!!!!

Cam: IT’LL BE WORSE WHEN BOTH ERIKA AND WENDY WILL HAVE ME PINNED TO THE GROUND FOR LEAVING THE PRINCESSES OUT!!!!

Erika: OH, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!!!  WE’D BE SITTING ON TOP OF YOU FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT IF YOU LEFT OUT THE PRINCESSES!!!!!!  *GIGGLES*

Cam: Yeah, so for both of our sakes Troy, we must include em!!!!!

Troy: I’m with you on that!!!!!

All the toys from Toy Story soon make their way through Town Square down the parade float with Woody, Bullzeye, the army soldiers, and Jessie followed by a massive float of letter blocks, the Toy Story Aliens, a toy manufacturing machine, and of course Buzz Lightyear.

Troy: I wonder if there’s a way we can extend this????!!!!!!

Cam: Herbie, and Johnny 5 can have some of their friends join in.

Erika: I actually kinda like that idea!!!!!

Cam: Yeah, I mean if Herbie can find more fellow Classic VW Beetles built by Dr. Gustav Stumpfel, we can have em all decorated in ribbons and Christmas Wreathes.

Erika: THAT WOULD BE SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!

Cam: And the Beetle’s a classic car, so how would people not like it????!!!!!!

Troy: You make a good point, so I don’t see a reason why we can’t include them, and we can also build replicas of Johnny 5’s older siblings from Short Circuit to take part as well!!!!

Lastly comes a massive Christmas Tree followed by all 9 Tiny reindeer, and yes, all 9 are included, (we can't leave out Rudolph LOL) as they tow the massive sleigh with no one other than Santa Claus.

Cam: I LOVE how they included Rudolph in the line of Reindeer!!!!

Troy: I know!!!!  Too many movies and books leave him out!!!!!

Erika: It’s sad, so we better not leave him out either!!!!!

Santa Claus: HOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOO, HOOOOOO, HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!  MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

Everyone waves at Santa as he passes by in his beautiful sleigh before the parade soon disappears along the parade route, the music concludes, and the lights turn back on.

Cam: ALRIGHT, TIME TO GET GOING!!!!

Cam grabs Erika’s hand before they take off running into Main Street Train Station just in the nick of time.

Troy: GUYS WAIT UP!!!!!

Erika: WOW!!!!!  LOOK AT ALL THOSE PEOPLE COMING IN BEHIND US!!!!!!

Cam: I KNOW, THE LINE FOR THE TRAIN IS GETTING NUTS!!!!!

Troy: GUYS, DON’T TAKE OFF LIKE THAT NEXT TIME!!!!  YOU KNOW IT’S A STRUGGLE TO KEEP UP WITH YOU 2!!!!!!

Cam: TROY, YOU’RE A FORMER FOOTBALL QUARTER BACK, SO RUNNING FAST SHOULDN’T BE THAT MUCH OF A CHALLENGE FOR YOU!!!!

Troy: NEED I REMIND YOU, THAT WAS LONG AGO!!!!!

Erika: HEY, LET’S JUST BE GLAD THAT WE’RE AT THE VERY FRONT OF THE LINE!!!!

Cam: YOU GOT THAT RIGHT BECAUSE THE LINE LOOKS LIKE IT’S ZIGZAGGING OUT OF THE STATION, AND GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN THE STAIRS!!!!!

Announcement: YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!!!!!!
THE DISNEYLAND LIMITED,
NOW ARRIVING FROM A TRIP AROUND WALT DISNEY’S MAGIC KINGDOM!!!!!
PASSENGERS PLEASE STAND BY TO BOARD!!!!!!

C.K. Holliday Locomotive Number #1 blows her whistle with a………….

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOO!!!!!

As she steams out of the diorama tunnel rounding the bend ringing her bell with the Holiday II Red Train in tow with Engineer Rudy at her throttle.

Cam: AWESOME!!!!  THERE’S PLENTY OF ROOM ON THIS TRAIN!!!!

Troy: PERFECT!!!!!  WE DIDN’T HAVE TO WAIT LONG EITHER!!!!!

Erika: WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET IN ANOTHER RIDE!!!!

Cam: YEP!!!!

Troy: WORKS FOR ME!!!!!

After C.K. Holliday and her train come to safe and complete stop, Conductor Alan opens the gate from the queue to the station platform and lets everyone board.
Cam, Troy, and Erika of course board in the VERY FRONT of the second floor bench of the first car right behind the locomotive.

Troy: Even for 1 stop, we’re still at the front of the train!!!!

Cam: Wouldn’t have it any other way!!!!

Erika: Neither would I!!!! *Giggles*

Cam: And I still can’t get over how beautifully restored this engine is after being out of service for nearly 4 years.

Troy: I will admit, she’s a very beautiful train!!!!!

Erika: That she is!!!!

The 2 minute warning alarm goes off as the last of the passengers board.
Conductor Alan then closes up the gate to the queue as the signal light flashes green.
The Conductor gives the high sign…………..

Conductor Alan: ALL ABOARD!!!!!!

Engineer Rudy gives 2 blasts on the whistle, eases the throttle open, and the train gets moving and en-route to New Orleans Square Station.
Shortly after the train arrives in New Orleans Square Station, Cam, Troy, and Erika use their Fast Pass on Haunted Mansion Holiday, and needless to say it was worth it.

Troy: WOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!  

Cam: WOAH IS RIGHT!!!!

Erika: GOOD THING YOU GOT US THE FAST PASS BECAUSE STAND BY’S A 100 MINUTE WAIT!!!!

Cam: NO SURPRISE!!!!!

Troy: ALSO THIS STATION IS NUTS!!!!

Cam: YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!

Erika: Let’s use Big Thunder Trail to get us to Fantasyland and Tomorrowland!!!!

Troy: I’M ALL FOR IT!!!!!

Cam: SO AM I!!!!  We’ll be back on the train at the end of the night anyways, so it’s no problem. ☺

Troy: Good point!!!!

Erika: Yeah!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then enjoy their ride on Haunted Mansion Holiday before they head over to Big Thunder Mountain, and then they enjoy a ride on the World Famous Jingle Cruise before making their way through Big Thunder Trail and over to Fantasyland.

Cam: Alright!!!!  We still have 45 minutes before our Fast Pass is good for It’s A Small World Holidays, so what would you like to do?

Troy: Casey Jr. has a short wait as does Pinocchio, Mr. Toad, and Autotopia over in Tomorrowland!!!!

Erika: AWESOME!!!!  We can probably get em all done before it’s time of our next Fast Pass.

Cam: EXACTLY!!!!!

Troy: However it’s a 90 minute wait for Matterhorn, and YIKES!!!!!  A FULL 120 MINUTE WAIT FOR SPACE MOUNTAIN!!!!!

Erika: We know what rides to stay away from!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then hop aboard the Casey Jr. Circus train before making their way over to Pinocchio’s Daring Journey, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, and Autotopia over in Tomorrowland.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!!!  It’s 8:25, and our Fast Pass for It’s A Small World Holiday starts soon so it’s perfect timing!!!!

Troy: And we got to enjoy a good amount of rides so I’m satisfied!!!

Erika: Same here!!!!  

As Cam, Troy, and Erika make their way over to It’s A Small World Holiday, the Christmas lights on the Small World façade go out, and the small Nutcracker Projection goes off.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4BKcs0iqOg&feature=youtu.be

Erika: AWESOME, I LOVE THIS MINI SHOW!!!!!

Troy: WHO DOESN’T????!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Cam: AND IT’S ALWAYS DIFFERENT EVERY YEAR!!!!!

Troy: AND OF COURSE YOU’D LIKE THE NUTCRACKER GIVEN THAT YOU’RE IN IT EVERY YEAR!!!!!!

Erika: WELL, DUH!!!!!  I’M A BALLERINA, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT????!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Cam: HOWEVER THERE’S SOMETHING EXTRA MAGICAL BY JUST WATCHING IT IN THE PROJECTION SHOW ON THE SMALL WORLD FAÇADE!!!!!

Troy: THAT I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH!!!!!

Erika: CAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM?????!!!!!!!  YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT YOU MEANNIE!!!!!

Cam: SORRY, BUT YOU KNOW THIS IS MY MOST FAVORITE PLACE ON THE PLANET????!!!!!!

Erika: *GIGGLES*  I KNOW, JUST GIVING YOU A HARD TIME!!!!

Troy: WELL, LET’S NOT WASTE TIME, SO WE BEST USE THE FAST PASS!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9mTWrDmyKQ

Cam, Troy, and Erika then use their Fast Pass before enjoying a ride on It’s A Small World Holiday.  Cam, Troy, and Erika can never get enough of listening to Jingle Bells and Deck The Halls mixed with the classic It’s A Small World Theme Song as well as seeing all the countries from across the world beautifully decorated in holiday décor.
Unfortunately the ride soon comes to an end, and Cam, Troy, and Erika disembark their boat before making their way back to the front of the Small World Façade to find a good viewing spot for the fireworks.

Erika: That was wonderful!!!!!

Troy: I may not like It’s A Small World, but I LOVE It’s A Small World Holliday!!!!

Cam: Same Here!!!!  And here we’ve got as good of a viewing spot as any!!!!

Troy: Yep!!!!

Erika: NOW FOR THE BEST PART OF THE NIGHT!!!!!

Cam: I’ll go fetch us some churros and more hot chocolate!!!!!

Troy: AWESOME!!!!

Erika: That sounds GREAT about now!!!!!

Cam: Hey, if anything they’ll help us last through the night!!!!!

Troy: You got that right!!!!!

Erika: Ain’t that the truth!!!!! *Giggles*

Cam: Just don’t take TOO MUCH sugar Erika, otherwise you’ll be on a NON-STOP sugar rush!!!!!

Erika: I CAN’T HELP IT!!!!! *Giggles*

Cam then fetches the churros and more hot chocolate when he bumps into his friend Eddie.

Eddie: HEY THERE CAMARO!!!!!

Cam: HEY EDDIE, IT’S GREAT SEEING YOU!!!!!

Eddie: Great to see you too my friend!!!!  Are you, your brother and sister doing your yearly holiday tradition, I take it???!!!!

Cam: Yes we are!!!!  We’re about to watch the holiday fireworks!!!!

Eddie: That’s great!!!!  I can NEVER get enough of Believe In Holiday Magic!!!!!

Cam: Neither can we!!!!  It brings us to tears every time!!!!!

Eddie: Same with me and Emma.

Cam: How is she by the way???!!!!

Eddie: She’s doing great!!!!!  We were about to watch the fireworks ourselves before watching Main Street Electrical!!!!

Cam: WONDERFUL!!!!!

Eddie: I KNOW!!!!!

Cam: How has work been on the railroad for you and your other fellow conductors????!!!!

Eddie: You know, it’s been busy during the Halloween Season, and now we’re about to get slammed with the Holiday Rush.  Annual Pass Holders are a pain as always, but we manage!!!!  How are things at your uncle’s gaming corporation since your new game took off????!!!!

Cam: CRAZY!!!!!!  We can’t keep enough of our game on the shelves!!!!!  Who’d know that Wendy, Chelia, Carla, and even my sister Erika would be so popular amongst mail gamers??????!!!!!!!

Eddie: They are cute, however it’s Herbie who steals the show!!!!!!

Cam: EVERYONE SAYS THAT!!!!  I thought only some die hard Disney and Herbie fans still cared for Herbie The Love Bug, but it looks like this game has helped bring him back!!!!  Then again, as a Herbie fan myself it’s just how I like it!!!!  LOL!!!!

Eddie: Same here my friend!!!!

Soon fresh new churros come out of oven nice and hot along with a nice new pot of hot coco.

Eddie: WOW!!!!!  THOSE CHURROS SMELL SO GOOD!!!!!

Cam: AS DOES THE HOT CHOCOLATE!!!!

Eddie: Perfect for this time of year!!!!!

Cam: I couldn’t agree with you more!!!!

Cam and Eddie then pay for their batches of churros and hot chocolate before branching off and going their separate ways.

Eddie: Well it was great seeing you my friend, but Emma’s probably wondering where I’m at!!!!

Cam: And Troy and Erika are probably wondering “WHERE THE HECK ARE OUR CHURROS AND HOT CHOCOLATE????!!!!!”  LOL!!!!!

Eddie: No doubt!!!!  Well it was good seeing you!!!!  Tell your siblings I said Hi!!!!

Cam: I will!!!!

Eddie: You guys have a good night, and a Merry Christmas!!!!

Cam: You too Eddie!!!!

Cam soon regroups with Troy and Erika when the first announcement comes up!!!!

Cam: Alrighty, here you 2 go!!!!

Troy: Awesome!!!!  Thanks!!!!

Erika: Yeah, thank you so much Cam!!!!

Cam: Anytime you 2!!!!!

Announcement: LADIES & GENTLEMEN, BOYS & GIRLS!!!!!!  IN JUST 15 MINUTES, THE SKIES WILL MERRY & BRIGHT WITH OUR HOLIDAY FIREWORKS SPECTACULAR, BELIEVE IN HOLIDAY MAGIC!!!!!
GOOD VIEWING IS STILL AVAILABLE NEAR IT’S A SMALL WORLD IN FANTASYLAND AND ALONG THE RIVERS OF AMERICA IN FRONTIERLAND!!!!
AGAIN, IT ALL STARTS IN JUST 15 MINUTES!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!

Troy: Tonight is a perfect night to watch fireworks!!!!

Cam: Yep, no wind, it’s not too cold, and not too hot, and we have a beautiful view of the moon & stars too!!!!
Now if you 2 don’t mind, I’ll lay down and enjoy the view of the stars!!!!!

And Cam does just that, but it was a big mistake!!!!!

Erika: I wouldn’t do that if I were you!!!!!  *Giggles*

The moment Cam laid down on the ground to look at the moon & stars, Erika lifts up her short skirted tutu, straddles her legs on Cam’s sides, and sits on top of him like she always does.

Cam: WAHT!!!!!!  UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!  I should have expected that!!!!!!

Troy: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  YOU FELL RIGHT INTO HER TRAP, YET AGAIN!!!!!

Erika: *GIGGLES*  YEP!!!!!  AND NOW YOU’RE MINE!!!!!!  

Cam: I JUST WANTED TO RELAX AND SEE THE STARS!!!!!!!!

Troy: But when you lay down in front of Erika, you fall right into her trap, and she pins ya down!!!!!  You should have learned this by now Cam!!!!!  LOL!!!!!!

Erika: YEAH CAM!!!!!  YOU KNOW I’LL PIN YA EVERY TIME YOU LAY DOWN!!!!!  *GIGGLES*

A bunch of people soon begin to stair, and give mixed reactions from whoops of laughter, to adoring parents, and to sighs of disgust.

Parents: WHOOPS!!!!!  LOOKS LIKE YOU’VE LANDED YOURSELF INTO A BIND YOUNG MAN!!!!!! LOL!!!!

Parents: AWWWWWWWWWW, HOW CUTE!!!!!  2 BIG BROTHERS HAVING A FUN TIME WITH THEIR PRECIOUS LITTLE SISTER!!!!!!  HOW SWEET????!!!!!!

Parents: UUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!  DISGUSTING PEDOPHILES!!!!!!  I WOULDN’T WANT MY KIDS NEAR THOSE 2 CREEPS!!!!!!!

Troy: UGH, OH BOY!!!!!  Pay no attention to the last parents!!!!!  They’re just jealous and emotionally insecure Donald Trump supporting AP Holders!!!!!

Erika: YEAH!!!!  And we’re only playing and nothing more!!!!!  Besides, you’re my 2 most favorite people in the world, and I love you both VERY MUCH!!!!!  I know you 2 aren’t in the wrong!!!!

Cam: They were obviously very closed minded, and probably never had good relationships with their siblings.

Troy: But some of the others seemed to understand.

Erika then gives Cam a gentle kiss on the forehead and Cam gently kisses her hand when suddenly……………………………the music to Believe In Holiday Magic comes on, and all the lights go out.

Troy: IT’S STARTING YOU 2!!!!!!

Cam & Erika: AWESOME!!!!!!

Erika immediately gets off of Cam, and helps him up before she holds his hand and gently lays her head on his shoulder.
Troy then places his arm behind Cam and Erika just as the fireworks being shooting off left and right.

A kiss of mistletoe
And magic lives and we believe

Then the segment of The March Of The Toy Soldiers from Babes In Toyland begins showing on the Small World Façade as the fireworks continue to go off. Then all of a sudden a train whistle goes off and the Casey Jr. Circus Train is seen as a toy train steaming along a Christmas toy setting in the projections.
And while Casey Jr. steams through the projection, the actual Ward Kimball Number #5 locomotive with the Holiday IV Green Train and Lilly Belle Parlor Car, steams right next to Casey Jr., as she makes her way through the Small World Façade.

Cam: Now that is AWESOME!!!!!

Troy: OF COURSE!!!!!  You were always a fan of Casey Jr., and yet you see the Ward Kimball side by side with Casey Jr. during the show!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Erika: I think it’s awesome!!!!!  The train is always so pretty when it goes through It’s A Small World!!!!!

A beautiful town in the North Pole shows in the projections on the façade as I’ll Be Home For Christmas begins playing on the music followed by We 3 Kings, Silent Night, Ring Christmas Bells, and the Nut Cracker as more beautiful fireworks shoot off over the Small World façade left and right and the projections on the façade keep changing.

Cam: NOW THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!

Troy: I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF THE NUTCRACKER SECTION!!!!!

Erika: THAT IS MOST DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE PART OF THE WHOLE SHOW!!!!!!

Soon the show amps up to its big moment, the finale as more beautiful fireworks begin shooting off left and right.

Music:

Treasure it again (Remember)
It never has to end (Joy of sharing)
Remember the magic in our lives (Remember the magic)
Just open up your heart
Embrace all those feelings
Just remember the meaning (Remember)
Yes, remember the feeling (Remember)
For all time
FOR ALL TIME!!!!!!

Narrator: Cherish the holidays forever, and always Believe!

Cam, Troy, and Erika are soon crying as the beautiful finale of fireworks shoot off, lighting up the sky before the closing number of White Christmas begins playing over the PA system as snow machines shoot out snow all over the Small World mall area with multiple people laughing and playing.

Erika: THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Cam: GETS ME EVERY TIME!!!!!

Troy: SAME HERE!!!!!!!!

Music:
I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

Erika: AWESOME, I LOVE THIS PART!!!!!

Troy: HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE IT??????!!!!!!

Cam: GINGERBREAD FLAVORED SNOW!!!!!!  YOU CAN’T GET BETTER THAN THAT!!!!!

Troy: Except for real snow, but it NEVER snows in California which kinda sucks!!!!  

Music:
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I’m Dreaming oh…….dreaming…….
Dreaming……………
Ohhhh……..Dreaming……..
Dreaming……………
Of A White Christmas………..
Ohhhh……..Dreaming……..
Dreaming………………
Of A White Christmas…………
Oh Dreaming……………….

The snow machines then deactivate, the lights turn back on and the music slowly fades out.

Announcement: Thank you for joining us in our nighttime fireworks Spectacular of Believe In Holiday Magic.  We hope you enjoy the rest of your night here at the Magic Kingdom and wish you a Happy Holidays.

The entire area of the Small World Mall turns into an uproar of a round of applause as guests soon make their way out of the park.
Cam, Troy, and Erika make a mad-dash for Toontown Fair Station, and make it just in the nick of time as C.K. Holliday Number #1 steams in with the Holiday II Red Train in tow, and the line to get on the train soon backs up all the way to the fireworks viewing area.

Troy: THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!

Cam: YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!

Erika: ALWAYS THE BEST PART OF THE NIGHT!!!!!

Cam: AND WE GET HERE JUST IN TIME BECAUSE THE TRAIN HAS JUST ARRIVED, AND THE LINE IS NOW CRAZY!!!!!

Troy: YET WE ARE AT THE VERY FRONT OF IT!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika soon hop aboard the train, and it isn’t long until the entire train is JAM PACKED!!!!!

Troy: Good thing we are on this train because it would be a NIGHTMARE to walk back to Main Street in this crowd!!!!!

Erika: UUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!  IT LOOKS AWFUL!!!!!

Cam: Yeah, it looks like there’s no room to move!!!!!

The train soon steams out of Toontown Fair Station, and passes through the beautifully lit up It’s A Small World Holiday façade.

Erika: NOW THIS IS SOOOOOOOOO PRETTY!!!!!

Troy: WE HAVE TO BRING THIS, AND THE FIREWORKS SHOW TO GRAND BAY LAKE!!!!!!

Cam: GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!  But we can’t program it into the game, so how will we get it all there?????!!!!!!

Troy: The good old fashioned way!!!!  Program it into the city’s computers for the music and the firework action, and build the light strands, and decorations from scratch.

Cam: UGH, OH BOY!!!!!

Erika: IT WILL BE SOOOOOOO WORTH IT THOUGH!!!!!

After making her stop in Tomorrowland Station, the train makes her way through the diorama tunnel before finally making it back to Main Street Station, and as C.K. Holliday steams back into Main Street Station, Cam, Troy, and Erika get a beautiful view of the Town Square Christmas Tree.

Cam: NOW THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Troy: THAT IS ANOTHER THING WE HAVE TO DUPLICATE IN GRAND BAY LAKE!!!!

Erika: OH MY GOD YES!!!!

Cam: However, I think we can go a little farther!!!

Troy: How?

Cam: These trains have no Christmas décor on them, so what if we decorate the trains on The Grand Bay Lake Railroad in Christmas garlands, ribbons, lights, and even wreathes.
Heck even Herbie would look great with some Christmas décor.

Erika: I actually agree with that!!!!!  The trains and Herbie will look SOOOOOO CUTE when decorated!!!!!

Troy: We can do the same with the boats and monorails too!!!!  Also I noticed how the Grand Californian has a beautiful gingerbread house in its atrium, so we should have gingerbread houses in ALL of the upscale hotels and resorts on the strip in Grand Bay Lake!!!!

Cam: Hey, the more we decorate, the merrier!!!!

C.K. Holliday soon comes to a full and complete stop, and Cam, Troy, and Erika disembark before making their way to the bottom of the stairs of Main Street Station, and sit down across from the Christmas tree, while also making sure they still had their stunning view of the beautifully decorated castle.

Erika: Now I can NEVER get enough of the castle!!!!

Troy: Decorating the castle is a no brainer!!!!

Cam: But it’s Carla’s, Wendy’s, and Chelia’s home!!!!!  How are we gonna have it decorated without having em notice if we want it to be a surprise????!!!!!

Troy: VERY GOOD question!!!!!

Erika: You got me there too!!!!  I’m wondering the same thing about decorating the underwater Kingdom without letting Manaka, Miuna, Sayu, Ayumi, or Nina know!!!!!!

Troy: We’ll have to inform Poe, Finn, Ramsley, and Helmsley if we want this to work!!!!

Cam: The mayor, train crews, helicopter pilots, boat captains, monorail pilots, hotel staff, the church staff at Notre Dame, casino owners, and anyone else whose gonna be involved must be informed about our plans pronto!

Announcement: LADIES & GENTLEMEN, BOYS & GIRLS, IN JUST 30 MINUTES, EXPERIENCE THE ENERGY, THE EXCITEMENT, AND THE GLORIOUS SPECTACLE OF THE MOST ELECTRIFYING PARADE IN DISNEY HISTORY!!!!
JOIN US AS THE HEART OF DISNEYLAND LIGHTS UP WITH THE MAGIC OF THE MAIN STREET ELECTRICAL PARADE!!!!
PLEASE JOIN US FOR THIS GLITTERING DISNEY CLASSIC!!!!!  STARTING IN JUST 30 MINUTES!!!!!  THANK YOU!!!!!

Erika: NOT MUCH LONGER NOW!!!!!

Troy: And we got here at the right time because now……………

Cam: WAHT, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

Crowds came flocking over to the viewing area, and in no time ALL of Town Square gets jam packed, and only limited standing room is left.
A few families try to ask Cam, Troy, and Erika to move over, but they don’t budge…..

Cam: We got here good and early to get our view of the castle, so sorry, no can do!!!!

Troy: Yep!!!!  We’re here specifically so we can see both the tree and the castle, so if we move to the right or left of where we are now, we lose our castle view!!!!

Erika: If you wanna get a good spot for the parade, best get here early!!!!

One by one, the families relent, but not without leaving nasty comments, and some even curse, but Cam, Troy, and Erika blow it all off.

Cam: We got to this specific spot just so we could see both the tree and the castle.

Troy: EXACTLY, and if it doesn’t work for them, screw them!!!!!

Erika: It still makes me mad when they call you guys pedophiles, when you’re both my big brothers!!!!!

Cam: Some people will just say nasty things when they don’t get what they want.

Troy: However, our age difference is pretty significant, but…………

Erika: There are bigger age differences between siblings out there…………

Cam: However, 2 young adult males with a little 12-year-old girl is rather unusual even if we are siblings.

Troy: Some people are just too closed minded.

Off duty Tram Driver Chris and his girlfriend Renesemee arrive with 15 minutes still on the clock.

Renesemee: Excuse me, but are you 3 saving this area.

Erika: HEY RENESEMEE!!!!!  NOT AT ALL, YOU AND CHRIS ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO SIT WITH US!!!!

Chris: Thanks Erika!!!!

Renesemee: Yeah, almost all viewing areas are full!!!!  

Cam: Some families were getting pissed at us for not moving over because we didn’t wanna give up our castle view!!!!

Troy: Hence why we got here nice and early after pyro!!!!

Erika: And if they don’t like it, tough!!!!

Chris: EXACTLY!!!!!  I don’t blame you guys!!!!!

Renesemee: I wouldn’t move over either if it meant losing my castle view after getting here early!!!!!

Chris: Hey, we actually get to enjoy a castle view too!!!!

Renesemee: Yeah, so you guys did us a favor!!!!

More and more people come crowding into the parade viewing areas.

Cam: Ya know, if Paint The Night was performing, I don’t think it would be this crazy!!!!

Troy: You got that right!!!!  It would still be crowded, but NOT to this extent!!!!

Erika: Paint The Night is BORING, and can’t hold a candle to this!!!!

Renesemee: Little girl after my own heart!!!!!

Chris: I completely agree!!!!!

Soon the lights go dark, and the announcement for the Main Street Electrical Parade goes off over the P/A System.

Announcement: LADIES & GENTLEMEN, BOYS & GIRLS,
DISNEYLAND PROUDLY PRESENTS
OUR SPECTACULAR FESTIVAL PAGENT OF NIGHTTIME MAGIC AND IMAGINATION
IN THOUSANDS OF SPARKLING LIGHTS
AND ELECTRO SYNCRO MAGNETIC MUSICAL SOUNDS……………
THE MAIN STREET ELECTRICAL PARADE!!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Erika: AWESOME!!!!!!!

Chris & Renesemee: THIS NEVER GETS OLD!!!!!!

All of Main Street Town Square turns into a VERY LOUD uproar rioting round of applause as The Main Street Electrical Parade steps out onto the parade route, and the Casey Jr. Circus Train engine comes steaming into view while towing Mickey & Minnie on the large drum float with the world famous Baroque Hoedown blasting all over the P/A System.
However there was a slight twist to the Baroque Hoedown……………

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFoChPIapqM&t=179s

Cam: I notice that the music is pitched slightly higher………..

Troy: Yeah, it’s more major than minor……………….

Erika: I ALSO NOTICE CHRISTMAS SONGS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7Z35IZmTZw&t=163s

Renesemee: Also the Disney Characters from the Christmas Fantasy Parade have joined in………….

Chris: A little Holiday touch to the parade I see……………….CLEVER!!!!!!!

Cam: THE MUSIC WAS PITCHED IN ORDER TO MATCH THE CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!!!

Troy: HOWEVER IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE THE ORIGINAL BAROQUE HOEDOWN FROM THE 70s, SO I’M ALL FOR IT!!!!

Erika: I LOVE IT!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Erika: WE ARE DEFINITELY DOING THIS IN GRAND BAY LAKE!!!!

Then out of nowhere the snow machines activate, and gingerbread flavored snow blows ALL OVER MAIN STREET as the parade makes its way down the route.

Cam & Troy: HOLY SHIT!!!!

Erika: AMAZING!!!!!

Chris & Renesemee: NOW THAT IS PURE DISNEY MAGIC DURING THE HOLIDAYS!!!!!

Clouds of smoke and steam pour out of Casey Jr.’s smoke stack and whistle as he steams his way through Town Square and goofy gives a good wave to our friends.

Cam, Troy, & Erika: HEY GOOFY!!!!!!

Goofy blew Casey’s whistle as he passed Cam, Troy, Erika, Chris, and Renesemee before the snails and turtles spin their way out onto the parade route.
However, everyone gets week at the knees when the Cinderella section makes its way down the route.

Cam: NOW THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST SECTION OF THE PARADE!!!!

Troy: I’M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU!!!!

Erika: I ONLY WISH THIS WOULD GO ON FOREVER!!!!!

Chris & Renesemee: WE FEEL THAT WAY TOO!!!!!

Soon the finale float To Honor America passes through Town Square before the parade wraps up for the night.
And after the parade wraps up for the night…………

Cam: ALRIGHT, NOW TIME TO HIGH TAIL IT BACK TO THE TRAIN STATION!!!!

Cam grabs Erika’s hand, and the 2 make a mad dash for Main Street Station as Troy, Chris, and Renesemee follow right behind, and make it just in the nick of time.

Cam: PERFECT!!!!!

Erika: JUST MADE IT TO THE VERY FRONT!!!!

Troy: AND NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON!!!!!

Annoucement: YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE,
THE DISNEYLAND LIMITED,
NOW ARRIVING FROM A TRIP AROUND WALT DISNEY’S MAGIC KINGDOM!
PASSENGERS PLEASE STAND BY TO BOARD!!!!

And Ward Kimball Number #5 comes steaming in blowing her beautiful Crosby 3-chime whistle and ringing her beautiful bell with the Holiday IV Green Train and Lilly Belle in tow.

Chris: Perfect timing cause now here’s the train, and the ENTIRE first car is empty!!!!!

Renesemee: THAT’S PERFECT!!!!!

Soon our friends are joined by their friends, Scott along with his daughter Willow, Nick, Greg along with his wife and dog, Natasha, Sef and his wife Crystal, Jay, Will along his girlfriend Tracie and her mom Sandy, Sam, Evan along with his girlfriend Audrey, and their best friend Josh with his girlfriend Charlotte, Vereen and her son Dylan, Steven, Jason and his best friend Matt, and Aaron and Alex Medina.

Cam: OH, HEY GUYS!!!!!

Troy: GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL HERE!!!!

Erika: YEAH, WHAT’S UP!!!!

Chris: WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU’D ALL SHOW UP HERE!!!!

Renesemee: MUST HAVE ALL BEEN WATCHING THE PARADE JUST LIKE US I SEE!!!! LOL!!!!!!

Once Ward Kimball stops, the conductor opens the gate to the station platform, and ALL of our friends high tail to the VERY front of the VERY front car directly behind the locomotive.
Cam gives Erika the best seat right behind the engine, but she decides to sit on Cam’s lap, and snuggle with him to keep warm.

Troy: LOL!!!!!  Should have expected that!!!!!

Chris: Is she always like that????!!!!!

Cam: EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!

Erika: HEY, I’M THE ONE WITH A TINY SKIRT ON AND MY LITTLE BUTT’S COLD!!!!!
Besides this keeps us both warm!!!!!!  *Giggles*

Cam: And it allows me to get the best look at the engine!!!!

Renesemee: REAL CUTE!!!!  LOL!!!

Our friends all have fun talking while hanging out, but they are soon rudely interrupted when they see………………

Erika: OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Will: OH SHIT!!!!  KALVIN IS HERE!!!!!

Scott: THAT GUY IS SOOOOOOOO ANNOYING!!!!!

Jay: OH NO, AARON TOO!!!!!!

Nick: IT JUST GOT WORSE BECAUSE THERE’S THE WIZARD TOO!!!!!

Cam: NO WAY THAT PEDOPHILE IS GETTING NEAR ERIKA!!!!!

Troy: IF HE THINKS HE CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF OUR LITTLE SISTER, HE’S GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!!!!

Vereen: SAME THING IF HE GETS NEAR MY SON!!!!

Cam: PLUS THAT CREEP STINKS LIKE A GARBAGE CAN!!!! HE DOESN'T NEED A SHOWER; HE NEEDS A CAR WASH!!!!!!!

Scott: I know he has a few screws loose, but he's a creep!!!

Chris: YOUR SISTER AND YOUR SON?  THAT GUY STALKED ME WHILE I WAS COMING IN ON HALLOWEEN, AND I’M 32-YEARS-OLD!!!!!

Renesemee: YIKES!!!!!  I DON’T WANT EITHER OF THOSE PESTS NEAR ME!!!!

Tracie: I ESPECIALLY DON’T WANNA SEE THAT DIRTY RAT, KALVIN HERE!!!!!

Kalvin: HEY GUYS!!!!

Everyone: KALVIN!!!!!!!!!  GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!

Kalvin: FINE, SCREW YOU GUYS!!!!!

Kalvin boards in the second car, and leaves all of our friends alone, and fortunately the disgusting wizard boards near the rear of the train as does Aaron with his camera.  
Once everyone’s on board, Conductor Tony gives the high sign……….

Conductor Tony: ALL ABOARD!!!!!

Fireman Dano rings the bell as Engineer Eric gives 2 blasts on the whistle, eases the throttle open, and Ward Kimball Number #5 steams out of the station…………

Troy: Well, tonight was a pretty awesome night!!!!!

Erika: I AM SOOOOO GLAD that we have this tradition!!!!

Cam: As am I!!!!!

Our friends all have a good time as the train circles the Magic Kingdom for the remainder of the night, but our friends have a long road ahead of them if they want to make Christmas in Grand Bay Lake a reality.


To Be Continued………….

Chapter 3

Hangout In Grand Bay Lake

After a fun and awesome night in Disneyland Cam, Troy, and Erika talk over some plans the next day.

Cam: Alright, we have an idea of what we want and what we like, and now the challenge is bringing it ALL to Grand Bay Lake.

Troy: And we also have the ENTIRE RESORT STRIP to think about that!!!!

Cam & Erika: I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!!!!

Cam: Magic Kingdom City maybe bigger than Grand Bay Lake when it comes to land size, but in population, Grand Bay Lake has it beat in a landslide…………………………

Erika: Yeah, so what Christian Boltar did may have been enough for Magic Kingdom City, but we’re no doubt gonna need to do A LOT MORE for Grand Bay Lake……………..

Troy: Which is why we are spending Thanksgiving in Las Vegas!!!!

Erika: THAT MIGHT WORK!!!!!!

Cam: If we use ideas from the Holiday Nighttime Spectaculars used in Las Vegas and bring them to Grand Bay Lake, then I’d say we might just be able to pull this off!!!!!

Troy: Yeah, so if we combine all the holiday décor and shows of Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Las Vegas we should be good!!!!!!

Erika: And we’ve been to Walt Disney World during the holidays, and have attended Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, so we can easily get that wired!!!!

Cam: EXACTLY!!!!!  

Troy: So we need to use Walt Disney World’s concept for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Disneyland’s nighttime shows and holiday décor along with those used in Las Vegas, and when it comes to food, we’ll get ingredients from all 3 resort areas!!!!!

Erika: THIS IS GONNA BE SOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!  WENDY, CHELIA, CARLA, NINA, AYUMI, MANAKA, MIUNA, AND SAYU ARE ALL GONNA DIE WHEN THEY SEE WHAT WE HAVE IN STORE FOR THEM!!!!!

Cam: Something tells me that I’m going in over my head, but………………

Troy: You’re the chosen ruler of Grand Bay Lake, since King Arthur entrusted you, but I know you’ll pull through………….

Erika: Hey, we’re all in this together!!!!!

Cam: That we are, and we have Herbie and Johnny 5 to help us!!!!

Troy: EXACTLY!!!!!

Erika: I say, we call for a staff meeting on Friday night with those who will get involved with our plan, but we do it after our friends are all fast asleep!!!!!

Cam: And we set to work right after we get back from Las Vegas!!!!

Troy: Wendy, Chelia, Carla, Ayumi, Nina, Manaka, and Sayu are to all be sent up to Tocoma 2 weeks while construction work is underway.  They are not to know about ANYTHING that is going on!!!!

Erika: They can only leave the castles for school, and they will go via teleportation crystals.

Cam: A 9 O-Clock curfew will be in effect so we can have all those involved work on EVERYTHING during the night.
ALL Helicopter flights will be grounded, all boat cruises and steam train, and monorail rides will be suspended during the 2 week period.
This way ALL 8 steam trains can haul cargo and freight to and from other areas of the Magic Kingdom in order for us to get the supplies we need.
It will be the same thing with our steam boats.
The helicopters and monorails will be repainted in Christmas colors.

Troy: This actually makes sense!!!!!  Grand Bay Lake is mainly for tourists, and during this time of year tourism is VERY LOW!!!!

Erika: It’s cold over there this time of year, so no one wants to come.  Thanksgiving doesn’t exist there since it’s mainly an American Holiday, and no one comes for the Holiday Season since it doesn’t exist yet.

Cam: But once they see that they’re celebrating it for the VERY FIRST TIME, all that will change!!!!!

Troy: And for the better!!!!!  Grand Bay Lake has gone on for WAY TOO LONG without celebrating the Holiday Season.

Erika: And it will mean SO MUCH to Wendy, Chelia, Carla, Nina, Ayumi, Manaka, Miuna, and Sayu!!!!

Cam: But with low tourism will give us plenty of flexibility to get all the holiday décor up, and get all the nighttime shows ready.

Troy: On the VERY FIRST day of the Holiday celebration, which will be on a Friday right after sunset, we’ll make all of our friends from Grand Bay Lake teleport to the main gate entrance of the Magical city……………….

Erika: That way they will get to see everything all lit up and decorated for the first time as if they were tourists!!!!!

Cam: YEP, and experience the same kind of magic that we do when we go to Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Las Vegas during the holidays.

Troy: However, Wendy, Chelia, Carla, Manaka, Miuna, Sayu, Ayumi, and Nina CANNOT KNOW A THING about our plan!!!!

Cam: Yep, no matter what happens, and no matter how suspicious they get, NOT ONE OF US can crack!!!!

Erika: We must keep this plan a secret LIKE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika write down everything that they plan on putting in Grand Bay Lake’s spectacular Holiday Celebration as far as Disneyland’s Nighttime Shows, Food, and Holiday Décor goes.  
They then write down the concepts used in Walt Disney World such as the Very Merry Christmas Parties, Candle Light Processions, the free cookies and hot chocolate, and anything else that stands out.

Cam: Alright, we have the ideas from Disneyland and Walt Disney World…………..

Troy: Now it comes down to Las Vegas, and that we will all write down once we’re there for Thanksgiving!!!!

Erika: And once we’re in Grand Bay Lake, let’s go over EVERYTHING before we announce our plan.

Next Friday rolls around A LOT faster than everyone expects, and Erika’s big sleep over is at the forefront of everything.
Cam drives over to the ballet studio to pick up Erika and some of her friends, while the rest of their friends follow Cam in their parents’ cars.
At the same time, Troy sets up the Nintendo Game Cube, SNES, and Game’s Micro-Chip Adapter in preparation to warp everyone over to Grand Bay Lake.

Troy: Alrighty, that should do it!!!

A knock is heard on the front door, and low and behold it’s Chloe and Mackenzie.

Troy: Hey Girls!!!!!

Chloe & Mackenzie: HEY!!!!!!

Troy: How was cheerleading????!!!!!!

Chloe: COLD!!!!!!

Mackenzie: I SOOOOOOO WISH you and Cam were there; WE WERE FREEZING OUR BUTTS OFF!!!!!

Chloe: YEAH, IT WAS NOT FUN!!!!!

Troy: We’ll we’re heading to another cold climate, so be sure to wear your jackets.

Mackenzie: OH, WE WILL!!!!  By the way, where’s Cam???!!!!

Troy: Went to pick up Erika and some of her friends from Ballet since she planned a sleepover tonight.

Mackenzie: I just hope Erika doesn’t continue getting in the way of our relationship…………..I mean I understand that she REALLY LOVES Cam, but why does she have to be so possessive???????!!!!!!!!!
Whenever we kiss, she gets mad, whenever we’re alone watching a movie, she buds in, and when we try to………………you know do that………………..FORGET IT, she won’t have it!!!!!!!  Not even getting a hotel room works because she finds out!!!!!!!
Heck, Cam and I can’t even sleep in the same room!!!!!!
I mean, how’s a girl supposed to enjoy a relationship with the guy she likes if the guy's bratty little sister keeps budding in????!!!!!

Troy: Well, you know that Cam and Erika have bonded since she was first born, but as for why she’s so possessive of him…………………it’s something ONLY SHE can explain, and unfortunately she’s always told me that “It’s a secret that she can ONLY tell someone VERY SPECIAL!!!!”  I don’t know who she means by that, but she unfortunately has no intention of loosening her grip on Cam.

Chloe: It’s a bit of a shame because poor Mackenzie has REALLY LIKED Cam for YEARS!!!!!  And they JUST started going out!!!!!  Sure, Cam and Mackenzie can get in some good dates here and there, hold hands, and kiss, but Erika somehow ALWAYS tracks them down and interrupts!!!!!!!
And not even a sleep over at a friends or a fun night at Disneyland with the cheerleading squad is enough to stop her.
Heck, cheerleading, diving, synchronized swimming, gymnastics, and figure skating competitions ARE NOT EVEN ENOUGH to stall her!!!!!!
(Heck, their relationship is on the fritz partly because of this!)

Mackenzie: I just wish that Cam and I can have an entire 24 hours alone!!!!!!  And if it’s not Erika over here whose hogging him, IT’S WENDY MARVELL in the Magic Kingdom!!!!!!!

Troy: To be fair, Cam is VERY SPECIAL to Wendy, and she ONLY sees him once or twice a month!!!!  And she’s like his other sister, so…………….

Mackenzie: I know, she deserves time with him too, but she too CAN ALSO BE POSSESSIVE………………

Chloe: Not really……………..I mean, Wendy is WAY MORE innocent and gentle than Erika, and A LOT more pure hearted.  She may REALLY LIKE Cam, but she also wants what’s best for everyone else.

Mackenzie: UUUUGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!  I will give her that, but still she HOGS HIM!!!!

Chloe: Again, she ONLY sees him once or twice a month, and she gets VERY LONELY as do Chelia and Carla.

Mackenzie: I know, it’s that I wish that Cam and I could…………..

Chloe: Make your relationship advance further………..Don’t worry.  It’ll happen somehow. (However, Cam has stated that he's not ready to do the "deed" just yet for multiple reasons.)
You know, little Erika’s also growing up, and had a crush of her own too, and if Cam’s being supportive of her getting with her crush, then she’s gonna have to support your relationship with him.

Mackenzie: But Erika’s crush rejected her, and broke her heart!!!!  She’s only been more clingy to Cam since then!!!!

Chloe: Daniel was 15, a Sophomore in High School, and out of her league.  She’s still just a little girl, and has LOTS of exploring to do.  She’ll find another crush, and when that happens, she’ll have to learn to be less clingy and more independent.
When that happens, she’ll understand that she can’t hog Cam from you or anyone else forever.

Mackenzie: I hope you’re right!!!!!

Chloe: Just be patient, and don’t rush anything.  Your relationship will advance if it’s supposed to.  You’ll see! ☺

Mackenzie: Easy For you to say; my patients is just about wearing thing!!!

Cam soon arrives with Erika along her friends Sarah and Lexi.  He gently backs the car into the garage before shutting off the engine, letting everyone out, and entering the house via the mudroom.

Cam: Troy; we’re home!!!!!

Troy: AWESOME, I’VE GOT EVERYTHING SET UP INTO THE BASEMENT!!!!!
CHLOE AND MACKENZIE ARE HERE TOO!!!!!

Cam: AWESOEM!!!!  WE’LL BE RIGHT DOWN!!!

Erika: I’m gonna go head up to my room, put my things away, and change.

Cam: There’s a few things I need to get out of my room too, so you girls can go join Troy, Chloe, and Mackenzie down in the basement!!!

The door bell then rings.

Cam: Oh, first we must answer the door!!

Erika: Yeah, good idea!!!

Cam and Erika answer the front door, and let in more of Erika’s friends from ballet.

Erika: Hey girls!!!!

Cam: Erika and I need to run upstairs for a minute, but Troy, Chloe, and Mackenzie are down in the basement, so go ahead and join em!!!  We’ll be right down soon!!!!

Brooke: Okay!!!!

Anna: Sounds good!!!!

Annie: Thank you so much for having us over Cam!!!!

Haley: Yeah, we really appreciate it!!!!

Cam: No problem!!!!

Erika: It’s 5:00 O-Clock now, so I’d say we should Game Jump some time within the hour?  Also what are we gonna do about dinner?

Cam: That works for me, and as for dinner, we’ll eat somewhere casual on Rodeo Drive once after we meet up with Wendy, Carla, Chelia, and everyone else.

Erika: Awesome!!!!

Cam and Erika then go upstairs, and make their way to their rooms.  Erika wastes no time in removing her tutu.

Erika: OH MY GOD, it feels SOOOOOOO GOOD to get this off!!!!!

Cam: I bet!!!!  Now where did I put, AHHHH-HAAA!!!!!  There’s the game!!!!

Erika: Hey, we can’t game jump without the game!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: That’s true!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam then picks up his 1:18 Hot Wheels model of Herbie, and action figure of Johnny 5, while Erika changes into her beautiful new dark purple violet skirted one piece swimsuit with gold and silver sparkles.

Erika: OH MY GOSH, I CAN’T WAIT TO SHOW THIS TO EVERYONE!!!!

Cam: What would that be?

Erika: Come on over, and have a look!!!!!

Cam walks through the adjoining Jack & Jill bathroom, and makes his way into Erika’s room.

Cam: WOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!  WHEN DID YOU GET THAT????!!!!!

Erika: It was the grand prize for winning the National Dive Competition this passed Summer!!!!  ISN’T IT PRETTY?????!!!!!!

Cam: WOW!!!!  IT SURE IS!!!!!  For a moment I thought it was another ballet Tutu……..

Erika: I KNOW!!!!!!  IT LOOKS LIKE ONE, BUT IS A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE, AND JUST AS PRETTY!!!!!

Cam: Those sparkles look AMAZING!!!!!

Erika: I KNOW!!!!!  AND I LOVE THE LITTLE SKIRT!!!!  THIS IS PERFECT TO WEAR FOR THE HOLIDAYS WHEN IN GRAND BAY LAKE!!!!

Cam: YEAH, it looks great on you!!!!

Erika: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK*  AWWWWWWWW, THANKS CAM!!!!  That means a lot!!!!

Erika then gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek and Cam kisses her back on the forehead.

Erika: Hey, would you mind helping me with my hair?

Cam: Chloe, and Mackenzie might be better for that.

Erika: It’s just into twin pig tails, if you don’t mind.

Cam: Okay!!!!

Erika: THANK YOU!!!!

Cam helps Erika put her beautiful long blonde hair into twin pig tails before she puts on her cute little blue tiara, pink cardigan, and white platform shoes.

Erika: THANKS CAM!!!!

Cam: No problem!!!!  Ready to head down!!!!

Erika: Yep!!!!

Cam: Alright, lets go!!!

Erika grabs Cam’s hand as they exit her room, and make their way down to the basement.

Cam: Alrighty, we’re here!!!!  

Troy: AWESOME!!!!  Got the game????!!!!

Cam: Yep!!!!  And I’ve got Herbie and Johnny 5.

Troy: Perfect!!!!  Now let’s fire up the game, and game jump into Grand Bay Lake!!!!

Erika: Sounds good!!!!!

Annie: Ummmmm, why does Cam have a model car and robot in his hand again????!!!!

Chloe: Just watch and you’ll see!!!!!

Cam: This is how Herbie and Johnny 5 become part of the game!!!

Mackenzie: Hey Cam!!!!

Cam: Hey sweetie!!!!

Mackenzie then goes up to Cam before wrapping her arms around him and giving him a gentle kiss on the lips.

Mackenzie: How was everything at work???!!!!

Cam: Went very well, how about cheerleading???!!!!

Mackenzie: It was COLD!!!!

Cam: That sucks!!!!

Needless to say Erika was getting jealous as usual.

Erika: HMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!  -_-  Not fair!!!!

Chloe: Erika, you know you can’t be the only girl in Cam’s life forever!!!

Erika: I know………………it’s just…………….

Annie: You have a very hard time letting him go…………..

Sarah: By the way Erika, I LOVE your new purple Tutu.  It’s GORGEOUS!!!!!

Erika: THANKS!!!!  Though it’s not a tutu; it’s a one piece swimsuit I won from this passed Summer’s National Diving Championship!!!

Brooke: WOW!!!!!  I LOVE THE SPARKLES AND THE SKIRT!!!!

Annie: And I can’t tell that it’s not a tutu!!!!

Lexi: Neither can I!!!!

Erika: Perfect for this time of the year, and for my roll in the game!!!!

Sarah: Oh yeah I forgot; you’re the princess from an underwater kingdom!!!!

Erika: Yep!!!!  And once I arrive in Grand Bay Lake, this will become temperature adapting as part of the game!!!!

Brooke: That is SOOOOO COOL!!!!

Troy: Alright, anyone need to use the restroom before we game jump?

All Girls: Nope, we’re good!!!!

Cam: Okay Mackenzie, time for us to get ready for our game roles.

Mackenzie: Right!!!!

Lexi: Mackenzie, aren’t you and Chloe Princesses in the game too?

Mackenzie: Yes we are!!!! *Giggles*

Chloe: As are Wendy and Chelia since we cleared the game!!!

Erika: But we don’t like being treated any differently from anyone else!!!!

Troy: I’m the royal duke, and Cam is actually the new King, but again, those are merely titles, and we don’t like being any different from anyone else either!!!

Cam: Yep!!!  And that’s how we’d like it to be!!!!  Now lets fire up the game!!!!

Cam then puts the game into the micro-disk game adapter, fires up the game, and soon the familiar music is heard as the beautiful city of Grand Bay Lake shows up on screen.

Cam: And there’s the theme song from Pagemaster!!!! LOL!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjbJS1k5Adw

Troy: And here comes the familiar voice.

Game’s Narrator: Welcome back my good friends!!!!  Please select a gaming mode experience.

Cam picks up the SNES controller, selects the in-game experience, and the portal leading to the gaming world opens up in the t.v.

Cam: Alright!!!!!  Off we go!!!!

Cam throws his 1:18 Hot Wheels Herbie Model and Johnny 5 action figure into the portal before jumping into the portal himself.

Troy: Well, lets go!!!!!

Troy then jumps into the game’s portal followed by Chloe, Mackenzie, Erika, and the rest of her friends from ballet before the portal closes.
Erika retakes her role as Princess the moment she arrives back in the Underwater Cast Away Sapphire Kingdom where Manaka, Miuna, and Sayu greet her warmly.

Manaka: MY PRINCESS, WELCOME HOME!!!!!

Miuna: WELCOME HOME MY LADY!!!!!

Sayu: IT’S SO WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU BACK YOUR HIGHNESS!!!!!

Princess Erika: Oh please, no need to be so formal!!!!! *Giggles*

Soon all of Princess Erika’s friends from the real world show up.

Princess Erika: You remember my friends from the real world right?

Manaka: OF COURSE!!!!  IT’s great to have you all here!!!!

Sarah: Hello………

Brooke: It’s great to see you again……

Annie: Yeah……..

Haley: Thank you so much for having us!!!!

Lexi: We’re eternally grateful for your hospitality…………

Anna: You have no idea how much this means to us.

Miuna: There’s no need to be so formal girls!!!!

Sayu: Yeah, we’re all friends here!!!!

Princess Erika: Yeah, so don’t be shy girls!!!!

Manaka, Miuna, and Sayu all go up to Princess Erika and hug her before they go up to her friends from the real world and hug them too.

Manaka: It is so wonderful to see you all here!!!!  

Minua: And it’s even more wonderful to see our beloved princess with such wonderful friends from her world!!!!

Sayu: We couldn’t be any happier to have you!!!!

Girls: Thank you so much!!!!

Manaka: By the way Erika, is that a new swimsuit????!!!!  IT LOOKS GORGEOUS!!!!

Princess Erika: IT IS!!!!  I WON IT AT THE NATIONAL DIVING CHAMPIONSHIP THIS PASSED SUMMER, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Miuna: I LOVE ALL THE SPARKLES!!!!

Sayu: AND THE SKIRT IS CUTE TOO!!!!!

Princess Erika: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!  Now girls, there’s only one way for us to get to Grand Bay Lake from here, and that’s to ride on the back of a dolphin since my private yacht got blown up during the last battle………….

Manaka: And only Miuna, Sayu, and I can teleport there………..

Princess Erika: And you won’t survive the icy cold temperatures of the water from this time of year in your ballet tutus, so you’ll all have to get temperature adapting swimsuits, and they must be skirted to show some decency when in downtown.

Miuna: Our mall has a HUGE selection of them, so have a good look around!!!!!

Sayu: And they’re all here in the royal palace!!!!!

Lexi: OH MY GOSH!!!!

Brooke: AMAZING!!!!!

Annie: WOW!!!!!

Manaka: You’ll also need some shoes, and a warm cardigan once you hit dry land, so be sure to look for those too.

Haley: THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!

Anna: ARE YOU SURE IT’S OKAY???!!!!!

Manaka: OF COURSE!!!!

Princess Erika: I’m already good to go, but I’ll help you all out!!!

Girls: AWESOME!!!!!

While Princess Erika and her friends head to the mall down in the underwater Kingdom, Chloe and Mackenzie take back their rolls as princesses too as they return home to the Royal Castle in the heart of Grand Bay Lake where Princesses Wendy and Chelia greet them warmly.

Chelia: MACKENZIE, CHLOE; WELCOME HOME!!!!

Wendy: HEY GIRLS, IT’S SO GOOD TO SEE YA!!!!

Princess Chloe: IT’S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO!!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: IT’S BEEN TOO LONG!!!!!

Wendy: HEY CARLA, GUESS WHOSE HERE!!!!

Carla comes out of her room and makes her way into the castle’s atrium.

Carla: WELL I’LL BE, WELCOME HOME GIRLS!!!!!  

Chelia: NINA, AYUMI, COME ON DOWN AND SEE WHOSE BACK!!!!

Nina and Ayumi soon join in and are beyond thrilled to see Princesses Chloe and Mackenzie back too.

Nina: WELCOME HOME PRINCESS CHLOE!!!!

Ayumi: IT’S WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU BACK PRINCESS MACKENZIE!!!!

Princesses Chloe, Mackenzie, Chelia, and Wendy all run up and hug one another before Carla, Nina, and Ayumi join in.

Wendy: WE ARE SOOOO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU BACK!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: Thank you so much!!!!  It’s wonderful to be back!!!!

As our princesses reunite, Troy and Johnny 5 arrive in the Grand Atrium of the Bay Lake Grand Floridian where Ryan greets them warmly.

Ryan: WELCOME BACK KING OF GAMES MASTER VON LUDWING!!!!!

Troy: THANKS!!!!  It’s great to be back!!!!

Ryan: How long will you and your brother Cam be staying here for?

Troy: It’ll be for 2 nights this time!!!!  We return home to the real world on Sunday.

Ryan: Sounds good!!!!  And since you’re brother is the Royal King, your villa is on the house as usual.
Here’s your Gray Magic Band, and when your brother arrives, I’ll give him his!!!
Will Princesses Wendy and Chelia be joining you?

Troy: Most likely!!! LOL!!!

Ryan: Then they’ll receive their magic bands on arrival too!!!
Now just go straight out, hop on the tram, and you’ll be at your villa in no time!!!!

Troy: Thank you so much!!!!

Ryan: Our pleasure, now just to let you know, due to the BIG SLOW DOWN in tourists during this time of year, most of our complimentary nighttime spectaculars are on hiatus until Spring.  So the Main Street Electrical Parade, Wishes: Remember Dreams Come True Fireworks, The Water Pageant, Sirens The Pirate Show, and Fantasmic’s World Of Color & Earth Illuminations On The Rvier’s Of Light will not be showing again until March 13.
Also both steamboats are out of service undergoing inspection and repairs until Valentine’s Day Weekend in February.
 However the steam trains and monorails continue running around the city from 7:00 a.m.-1:00 a.m. Thursday-Sunday, and Monday-Wednesday 9:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m.  Papillon Helicopters still fly from 8:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m. Thursday-Sunday, and 10:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. Monday-Wednesday.
The Bellagio Fountains still perform nightly from 5:30 p.m.-12:00 mid-night, Grand Bay Lake Tower is still open daily from 9:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m., the Grand Bay Lake Eye stays available nightly for the same hours as Grand Bay Lake Tower, and all Cirque Du Soleil shows along with Siegfried & Roy still do their performances twice a night at 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Friday-Sunday, and one show a night at 7:45 p.m. Monday-Thursday.

Troy: Good to know!!!!  

Ryan: Now you have a Magical Night Sir!!!!

Troy: You too!!!!

Johnny 5: ALRIGHT, so what’s the plan?

Troy: The plan is to meet up with our friends Princess Erika along with her friends from the real world along with Manaka, Miuna, and Sayu.  Of course we’ll also meet up with Princesses Wendy, Chelia, Mackenzie, and Chloe along with their friends Carla, Nina, and Ayumi.

Johnny 5: Awesome!!!!  That sounds like a good plan!!!!  Where’s your brother Cam?

Troy: Most likely out on a drive with Herbie!!!! LOL!!!

And that’s exactly what’s going on!!!!  Upon arrival, Herbie transforms back into full size, and is fully restored back to his 1977 Herbie goes Bananas restored post-rust bucket appearance, but with the addition of the hood mounted fog lamp.
And shortly after Herbie’s return, Cam shows up in his driver’s seat and the 2 drive down the main road leading into Grand Bay Lake.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrRB8lcBlqc

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!!  IT’S GREAT TO BE BACK HERBIE!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEP, BEEEEEP!!!!!

With his tires screaming, Herbie pops a steep angled wheelie and charges harder and faster down the road before his front end slams down hard on the ground.

Cam: GLAD SOME THINGS DON’T CHANGE!!!!

Soon Cam receives a call on his Ipad and it’s Troy.

Cam: Hey Troy, what’s up???!!!!

Troy: Figured that’s where you’d be!!!!  Where are you and Herbie right now???!!!!

Cam: We’re currently driving on the main road leading into Grand Bay Lake, what about you?

Troy: Johnny 5 and I just checked into the Grand Floridian.  We’ve got a beautiful villa, but I booked the room for 4 people in case Princesses Wendy and Chelia want to join us.

Cam: No problem!!!  

Troy: Also A LOT of the nighttime shows are down until March.

Cam: THAT’S PERFECT FOR US!!!!!  That way we can get them holiday themed for the Christmas Season.

Troy: That’s what I was thinking!!!!
The steam trains and monorails are still running, so I was thinking that we can eat out at either the Hard Rock Café or Planet Hollywood on Rodeo Drive, walk around the shops, ride the train, and branch off and do our own thing for a little bit.

Cam: I’m down for that!!!!  Most likely Erika will want to spend time with just the girls in the underwater Kingdom.

Troy: At 12:00 mid-night we can call for a town meeting, and inform EVERYONE involved about our plans to throw the holiday celebration.

Johnny 5: OOOOOOOOOOOOO, HOLIDAY CELEBRATION????!!!!!  WHAT IS THAT????!!!!!

Troy: We’ll inform you about it during the meeting tonight at 12:00 midnight, so don’t say a word about it.  It’s a surprise for the girls.

Johnny 5: YOU GOT IT!!!!

Then Princess Erika joins in on the phone call.

Princess Erika: Hey guys!!!!

Cam & Troy: Hey Erika, what’s up?

Princess Erika: Well ALL the girls here and I arrived in the underwater Kingdom, and in order to come to Grand Bay Lake, we all have to ride on the back of dolphins.  And that means ALL the girls need to wear temperature adapting swimsuits, and it’s gonna be a while before we show up.

Cam: No problem!!!!

Troy: Cam and I were thinking of having us all eat at the Hard Rock Café or Planet Hollywood on Rodea Drive, depending on where we can get a reservation at.

Princess Erika: OH, I AM SOOOOOOO DOWN FOR THAT!!!!

Cam: After that look around the shops for a little before taking a ride on the train, and then branching off to do our own thing.

Troy: At 12:00 we’ll do the town meeting regarding the holiday celebration.

Princess Erika: Sounds like a good plan!!!  Are there any shows playing tonight?

Cam: Not many, so we’re taking advantage of that.

Princess Erika: Awesome!!!!

Soon Princess Wendy joins in on the phone call

Wendy: HEY GUYS, I HEARD YOU’RE BACK!!!!

Chelia: WE REALLY MISS YA!!!!

Carla: WE COULDN’T WAIT TO CALL YOU GUYS WHEN WE HEARD THE NEWS!!!!

Nina: YEAH, AND WE CAN’T WAIT TO MEET UP!!!!

Ayumi: WHAT’S THE PLAN????!!!!!

Troy: So, we decided to meet up at either the Hard Rock Café or Planet Hollywood on Rodeo Drive, then after we eat, we’ll look around the shops, ride the monorail and steam train, and then branch off and everyone does their own thing.

Carla: That sounds like a good plan.

Princess Erika: Would you girls like to teleport to my underwater kingdom?  The girls and I would love some time with just us girls!!!!

Ayumi: WE’D LOVE THAT!!!!

Troy: I also booked our hotel room for 4 people in case Wendy and Chelia wanted to join.

Wendy: OF COURSE, WE’D LOVE TOO!!!!

Chelia: WE WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!!!!

Cam: Okay, so that’s settled, after we ride the train, we’ll all branch off and do our own things.

Princess Chloe: That sounds good to me!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: Shall we meet up within the hour???!!!!

Troy: Works for me!!!!

Princess Erika: Same here!!!!!

Carla: And it’s perfectly fine with me!!!!

Cam: I’m in!!!!

Troy: Alrighty, so let’s all meet up in the hour at either the Hard Rock Café or Planet Hollywood, depending on where we can get a reservation.

Everyone: PERFECT!!!!!

The phone call then ends as Cam and Herbie drive through the beautiful city.

Cam: Alrighty, it sounds like we’ll have a pretty good night.  LET’S GO HERBIE!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEP!!!!!!


To Be Continued……………………….

Chapter 4

Fun Night On Redoe Drive

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZX9N6g-mmc

After successfully landing a reservation at Planet Hollywood for 7:50, Cam and Herbie find a great parking space at the curb just outside the restaurant.

Cam: AWESOME!!!!  A good spot right where we want to be!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEP, BEEEP!!!!!

Wasting no time, Herbie rotates both his front and rear axles sideways, and slides right into the parking space.

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!  Great parking skills Herbie!!!!
Now I’m going to tell you about our plans for the holiday celebration………

Herbie: Beep?..............

Cam tells Herbie everything from start to finish about the plans he, Troy, and Princess Erika have for the entire magical city of Grand Bay Lake.

Cam: But remember, Princesses Wendy and Chelia, along with Carla, Nina, Ayumi, Manaka, Miuna, and Sayu CANNOT KNOW A THING ABOUT THIS!!!!  This is a surprise, so please keep this under your hood from them!!!!
Rami and Toby will be informed at once the moment they return here, and I’ll also need you to get ahold of your fellow Stumpfel VW Beetle friends to help us out if you can.
Johnny 5 will also be helping out, along with Jim West, Artemus Gordon, Dorion, Haji, Poe, Finn, Ramsley, and Helmsley, so we should have a good amount of help with the preparations.

Herbie: Beep, Beep!!!!

Herbie then sees Princesses Wendy, Chelia, Chloe, and Mackenzie, along with Carla, Nina, and Ayumi making their way over, and when he does, he revvs up his engine, and honks like crazy.

Herbie: BEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEP, BEEEP, BEEEEP, BEEEEP!!!!!

Cam: WOAH!!!!!!  What’s up Herbie???!!!!

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP!!!!

Cam then sees Princesses Wendy, Chelia, Chloe, Mackenzie, Carla, Nina, and Ayumi making their way over, and Princess Wendy hears Herbie’s honking.

Wendy: HEY, THAT SOUNDED LIKE HERBIE…………….

Chelia: IT IS, LOOK!!!!!

Wendy: AND THERE’S CAM!!!!!  HEY!!!!!!

Cam: UH-OH!!!!  Thanks for the heads up Herbie!!!!  So it’s best to shut up about the plans!!!!  LOL!!!!!  As far as they know, you don’t know a thing!!!!

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP!!!!

Wendy: HEY CAM!!!!!

Chelia: LONG TIME NO SEE CAM!!!!!

Carla: IT’S GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!

Nina: BEEN WAY TOO LONG!!!!

Ayumi: WISH YOU’D COME MORE OFTEN!!!!

One by one, Chelia, Carla, Nina, and Ayumi wrap their arms around Cam and give him a gentle kiss on the cheek before last but not least Wendy has her chance.

Wendy: I REALLY MISSED YOU!!!!!

Cam: I missed you too!!!!  Is that a new dress I see???!!!!!  It looks A LOT like the dress you wore in The Key Of The Heaven’s Arch of Fairy Tail.

Wendy: YEAH, IT SURE IS!!!!!  I JUST SAW THAT ARCH OF FAIRY TAIL, SAW THIS DRESS AND KNEW I HAD TO GET IT, SO I SAVED UP, AND JUST GOT IT 2 DAYS AGO!!!!!

Cam: AWESOME; It looks REALLY CUTE on you!!!!!

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK* AWWWWW, THANK YOU SO MUCH CAM!!!!!

Wendy then gives Cam another gentle kiss on the cheek but she doesn’t forget Herbie.

Wendy: And it’s great to see you again Herbie!!!!

Herbie: BEEEP, BEEEP!!!!

Wendy gives Herbie a hug on the right front fender before giving him a gentle kiss on the bonnet.

Chelia: I’m glad to see Herbie hasn’t really changed much, has he?

Cam: Not really, but he's FINALLY been repaired after the whole ordeal we went through with escaping the collapsing castles of Ludwig and Queen Xayide  Anyways the gaping hole where the external silver fuel filler is gone, and has been properly patch welded over, so you can't tell that there was a fuel filler there from the get go.  The hood mounted fog lamp has both a new light bulb and lens, the roll bar in front of the back seat has been taken out to allow more room in the back, the front right hand side wheel's missing VW hub cap has been replaced, and he has a brand new ragtop canvas moonroof.  It is a lighter color than the last one he had however, and I remembered to paint the red, white, and navy racing stripes back on the replacement moonroof.  Under the hood he's also been upgraded to 4 wheel disk brakes, has an ABS anti-lock module installed, and his engine has been upgraded from the standard 40 horsepower stock engine to a twin barrel dual overhead carburetor 2180 CC engine with 180 horse power, much like the ones he had in Monte Carlo and Goes Bananas.  Otherwise he’s the same as how you last saw him.

Wendy: I don’t care about the small stuff, he’s still the same Herbie we know and love.  

Chelia: Yeah, we wouldn’t have really noticed the differences anyways.

Carla: We’re just happy to see you 2 again!!!!

Nina: How long will you be here this time?

Ayumi: I hope we have a good amount of time together before you go!!!!

Cam: We’re back here for 2 nights!!!  We return home on Sunday.

Wendy: Awwwwwwww man!!!!!

Chelia: We were hoping you’d stay longer………..

Carla: Yeah, the girls REALLY miss you.

Cam: Unfortunately this is the busiest time of year back in my world, and demand for the new game that you’re a part of just went out of control.
Also given that Troy and I are the new heirs to the company, A LOT of our time is required, so we’re lucky to get the chance to come here when we can.

Princess Chloe: Princess Mackenzie and I have finals coming up in school………..

Princess Mackenzie: Yeah, plus the Winter Cheerleading Competition at the Anaheim Convention Center next month……….

Carla: Well I guess it can’t be helped.

Nina: We’re just happy you’re back.

Ayumi: Even if it is just for a couple days.

Wendy: We’ll make the most of everything while you’re here.

Soon Troy and Johnny 5 show up.

Johnny 5: HI THERE!!!!!

Troy: Hope we haven’t kept you waiting!!!!

Wendy: NA-AH!!!!  We just got here ourselves.

Cam: Herbie and I literally just parked here as Princesses Wendy, Chelia, Carla, Chloe, Mackenzie, Nina, and Ayumi show up!!!!!

Soon Princess Erika shows up along with her friends from the real world as well as Manaka, Miuna, and Sayu.

Cam: And there you are!!!!!

Princess Erika: HEY, SORRY WE TOOK SO LONG!!!!

Cam: Hey, Herbie and I just parked shortly before everyone else here showed up, so you’re just fine.

Carla: Glad you girls could make it!!!!!

Princess Erika: HEY CARLA, IT’S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!!!!

Lexi: YOU’RE NINA & AYUMI RIGHT????!!!!!

Nina: YES!!!!

Ayumi: NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN LEXI!!!!!!

Brooke: HEY PRINCESS CHELIA!!!!!  IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME YOUR HIGHNESS!!!!!

Chelia: IT SURE HAS!!!!!!  Also, no need to be so formal!!!!!  We’re friends after all!!!!

Sarah: IT’S GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN PRINCESS WENDY!!!!

Wendy: THANK YOU!!!!  IT’S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO SARAH!!!!  And please, just call me Wendy!!!!  

Annie: WE ARE SO EXCITED TO BE SPENDING TIME WITH YOU GIRLS!!!!

Haley: YOU GIRLS ARE JUST SOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!

Anna: AND THIS PLACE IS SO UNREAL!!!!!

Princess Erika: Which is why we try to come at least once or twice a month if we can!!!! ☺  By the way Wendy and Chelia, I LOVE YOUR OUTFITS!!!!!

Chelia: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

Wendy: I REALLY LIKE YOURS TOO!!!!!!  IT’S SO PRETTY!!!!!

Princess Erika: THANKS!!!!!  I WON THIS AT THE NATIONAL DIVING CHAMPIONSHIP THIS PASSED SUMMER!!!!!

Chelia: THAT’S AMAZING!!!!!!  I LOVE THE SPARKLES!!!!!

Princess Erika: AND I LOVE YOUR NEW MINI SKIRT!!!!!

Chelia: AWWWWWWWW, THANK YOU!!!!!

Princess Erika: AND WENDY, YOU’RE WHITE DRESS IS SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE, AS ARE THE MATCHING RED BOOTS!!!!!

Wendy: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!  I saw this while watching the Key Of The Starry Heavens Arch of Fairy Tail, and knew I just had to have it!!!!
Unfortunately I'm now broke, but it's okay!!!! *Giggles*

Carla: She saved up long and hard for that dress, and it's paid off.  So if she's happy with it then so am i. Smile

Cam: Alrighty, so far it looks like EVERYONE is accounted for!!!! ☺

Troy: All except for Rami, Toby, Poe, Finn, Ramsley, Helmsley, Dorion, Haji, Jim, and Artemus………………

Carla: Poe and Finn were needed back at the castle unfortunately…………….

Miuna: Ramsley and Helmsley were needed back at the underwater palace too……………..

Johnny 5: Dorion and Haji are hard at work in the weapons shop while Jim and Artemus are out there somewhere catching bad guys since they’re with the royal police force's front lines after you gave em their promotion.

Cam: And knowing Rami and Toby, they’re probably out racing on the circuit somewhere.  But it’s understandable.  Herbie and I would be with em if we could.

Wendy: I'm glad you're not because I really worry about the 2 of you going at such dangerous speeds.

Troy: At least the majority of everyone is all here and we should have a prett good night.

Cam: Yeah, so no problem!!!

Troy: By the way, what time’s the reservation and where’s it at?

Cam: Landed it right here at Planet Hollywood, and it’s in just 10 minutes at 7:50 sharp.

Princess Erika: THAT’S AWESOME!!!!!  

Sarah: YOUR BROTHER IS ALWAYS SOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!

Wendy: YOU’RE ALWAYS THINKING THINGS THROUGH CAM!!!!

Cam: Well I try, and thankfully it was possibly with tourism being lower than normal.  Unfortunately most of the nighttime shows are on hiatus until March.

Chelia: That’s okay!!!!  We’ve seen most of em anyways, so we’re fine.

Princess Erika: Yeah, and the girls all just wanna hang out, and we’ll mostly be doing girl stuff at the Underwater Kingdom anyways.

Girls: Yeah!!!!

Troy: So all’s well that ends well.

Johnny 5: Herbie and I are gonna have our usual fun in the casinos, so C-ya all later!!!!

Cam: Just spare mercy on the dealers while gambling!!!!!  If you remember what happened last time????!!!!!  They almost went broke because you guys kept on winning!!!!!

Johnny 5: Hey, can’t help it when you’ve got a lot of input from a computer brain!!!! LOL!!!!

Herbie opens his passenger door, opens his glove box, throws out his item storage gun, rolls over it, and shrinks Johnny 5 down to person size before Johnny 5 gets in the driver’s seat.

Johnny 5: Okay Herbie, it’s off to the Mirage we go!!!!  Let’s see if Seigfried & Roy will want us in their show again!!!!  Maybe something different from the vanishing act this time!!!!

Cam: UGH OH BOY!!!!  Herbie’s already done one bull fight in South America, and he doesn’t need to do another!!!!!
And NO, there will be no fighting with the tigers either!!!!
Also LAY OFF the Irish Coffee, and that goes for BOTH OF YOU!!!!!
And no stealing anyone else's chicken, ESPECIALLY if the guy's name is WIPER THIRD CLASS ARMANDO MOCCIA!!!!!!

Johnny 5: YEAH, YEAH!!!!  LET’S GO HERBIE!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!  

Herbie rotates both of his axles sideways, slides out of the parking space, and takes off busting a U-Turn while revving up his engine with a…………….

VROOOM, VROOOM, VROOOM, VROOOM……………………ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR-VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!

While speeding off like a bat out of Hell to the Mirage Hotel & Casino on the Resort Strip.

Sarah: WOAH!!!!!!  THAT CAR CAN REALLY MOVE!!!!!

Brooke: ARE YOU KIDDING????!!!!!  THAT THING JUST TOOK OFF!!!!

Lexi: Didn’t know the Beetle was THAT FAST!!!!

Troy: Twin Barrel dual overhead carburetor engines make a HUGE difference over the stock 40 engines, so it's no wonder Herbie took off!!!

Cam: OH BOY!!!!!!!  I just hope they stay out of trouble……………………

Troy: So far they haven’t caused any trouble, but they did bleed 2 casinos dry of their money given that no one’s had that big of a non-stop winning streak.

Cam: And that’s what worries me!!!!!  They win so much that they end up draining the casinos of all their money while gambling!!!!!

Troy: Well Johnny 5’s got a computer for a brain, so what do you expect????!!!
He and Herbie have won a Chicken Jousting Tournament, become HUGE HITS in the Main Street Electrical Parade, have a non-stop winning streak in gambling, and have become the second most popular act at the Mirage in Seigfried & Roy.  And they’re pretty well known in Epcot Center, so if anything they probably have it better than we do!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Cam: Yep, they have it a little too good, and that’s what worries me……………..

Wendy: I wouldn’t worry too much; I’m sure they’ll be fine!!!!! ☺

Cam: Wait until we hear about the Mirage Casino going broke, yet again……………….

Wendy then gently holds Cam’s hand.

Wendy: Let’s go you guys!!!!

Cam & Troy: Sounds like a good plan!!!!

As everyone enters the restaurant BOTH Princesses Erika and Mackenzie were getting VERY jealous.

Princess Mackenzie: AND THERE SHE GOES AGAIN!!!!!  THE LITTLE BRAT!!!!!

Princess Erika: SHE CAN’T HOG HIM ALL TO HERSELF!!!!!!

Princess Chloe: LOL!!!!!  You’re one to talk Erika since you’re often the one hogging Cam in the real world!!! LOL!!!!  Also Erika, you can be pretty possessive of him too!!!!! LOL!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: Not so nice when you get a taste of your own medicine!!!!! LOL!!!!  You kinda have an idea on how I feel when you come between us!!! LOL!!!!

Princess Chloe: As I’ve said before, you can’t be the ONLY GIRL in Cam’s life anymore.  LOL!!!!

Manaka: You’re still young and have A LOT to learn Sweetie.

Sarah: I know you and your brother are close, but come on, give him some room!!!!

Princess Erika & Mackenzie: OH, IT IS ON!!!!

Everyone is soon escorted and seated at a large table on the second floor of the restaurant.
Everyone is completely blown away by the Hollywood environment, however Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika were used to it since they practically live it in the real world, but they enjoyed listening to Lindsey Buckingham's Go Your Own Way being played over the restaurant's radio.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ul-cZyuYq4

Troy: Good choice Cam!!!!  We haven’t been here in a VERY LONG TIME!!!!

Princess Erika: And the music's awesome too!!!!

Troy: Hey, Lindsey Buckingham's Go Your Own Way is badass, and I'm sure you would agree Cam!!!

Cam: Darn right I do!!!
Unfortunately there are only 7 locations left of this restaurant chain sadly, so I figured take advantage of eating here while we can.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, THIS PLACE IS SOOOOOOO COOL!!!!

Chelia: I KNOW RIGHT!!!!!  I HAVEN’T SEEN ANY PLACE LIKE IT!!!!!

Carla: WE REALLY HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT!!!!!

Manaka: WE REALLY NEED TO GET IN THE CITY MORE OFTEN!!!!!

Sarah: ERIKA, WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE MORE SLEEPOVERS!!!!!

Brooke: YEAH!!!!!  THIS IS SOOOOOOO COOL!!!!

Lexi: TOTALLY!!!!

Princess Chloe: WE REALLY NEED TO GET OUT MORE OFTEN!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!

Carla: Is this what the world you come from is like, if you don’t mind me asking?

Troy: This kinda is a replication of a small section of it.

Cam: You kinda get an idea of what the Hollywood area of Los Angeles is like as well as the type of music that we listen to there.

Troy: As for the rest of the US………………

Chelia: US?????!!!!!

Cam: Short for United States of America, the name of our nation, or realm for your case…………….

Troy: Yep, and for all of our sakes lets not go into full detail………………

Cam: Yeah………………….They don’t need to know about our no good president, Donald Trump……………..

Princess Erika: OOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!  I get sick every time I hear that name!!!!

Manaka: Whose name would that be?

Sarah: It hurts my ears every time I hear it……………….

Cam: Yeah, so you’re better off not knowing…………….

Troy: For all of our sakes……………………

Wendy: Why, what’s wrong?

Cam: Our nation, or realm is at war with itself, our president or king is a maniacal numb-skull, and everyone acts so entitled out of greed and emotional insecurity.  Racism and discrimination are all over the place, and it's awful!!!!

Troy: Sounds about right…………………….

Wendy: I’m sorry.  I hope things get better though……………

Cam: We’re not counting on it yet, but we’re hopeful.

Wendy: I still want to visit your world though; when you find a way for us to visit their of course.

Cam: I haven’t forgotten my promise.  The moment we find a way for you to travel back to the real world, you can come visit.

Wendy: Thank you Cam!!!!

Wendy gives Cam and gentle kiss on the cheek and this only makes Princesses Mackenzie and Erika even more angry.  And it even ticks off Carla too.

Carla: WENDY, YOU ARE WAY TOO YOUNG TO BE THIS AFFECTIONATE!!!!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: THAT LITTLE BRAT IS REALLY STARTING TO GET ON MY NERVES!!!!!!

Princess Erika: MINE TOO!!!!  HE’S MY BROTHER; NOT HERS!!!!!

Princess Chloe: Please, come on girls!!!!!  Cam and Wendy are best friends and don’t get much alone time together.  Besides, Princess Wendy is next in line to the throne if anything happens to Cam, and although cam's taken, Wendy does get first dibs after all, so consider this a compromise!!!!

Princesses Erika & Mackenzie: AND THAT’S WHAT WORRIES US!!!!

To make matters worse, Cam and Wendy ordered club sandwiches, and just when Cam was getting full…………

Wendy: Hey Cam, I don’t think I can finish this half, do you think you can finish this for me?.............

Cam: Well, I am getting kinda full…………

Wendy: Awwwwwwww, please????!!!!!  AHHHHHHHHHH………….

Wendy feeds Cam the remaining half of her sandwich, and Cam ends up getting some avocado on his face by his lip.

Wendy: Oh Cam, you’ve got something on your face!!!!  Let me get that for you………..

Wendy then gently licks the avocado off of Cam’s face.

Wendy: There!!!!  It’s gone now!!!!! *Giggles*

This REALLY makes Princesses Erika and Mackenzie even more jealous, and pushes Carla’s buttons even further……………

Princesses Erika, Mackenzie, & Carla: WEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNDYYYYYYYYYYYY???????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carla: YOU ARE FAR TOO YOUNG TO BE DOING SOMETHING OF THIS SORT!!!!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: THAT’S MY BOYFRIEND THERE!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: NO ONE DOES THAT WITH MY BROTHER BUT ME!!!!!!!

But Cam and Wendy are unable to hear them.  Troy, Princess Chloe, and Chelia however can’t help but laugh.

Chelia: Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!  A little lover’s quarrel; how cute????!!!!!

Troy: Enjoy it while you can Camaro!!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Princess Chloe: Okay, I give up!!!  The girls can fight all they please!!!!  However it’s kinda cute!!!! LOL!!!!!

Manaka: Awwwwwwwww, how sweet?????!!!!!!!

Miuna: Though I’m not sure she should really be doing that!!!!

Sayu: My thought’s exactly!!!!!

Ayumi: Awwwwwwwww, come on, it’s just innocent play!!!!!

Nina: Yeah, I wouldn’t say it’s anything to worry about!!!!

Chelia: Although Cam's taken, Wendy is next in line to the throne if anything happens to him after all!!!!

Sarah: It looks like you have some competition Erika!!!!

Lexi: Yeah because Wendy’s got your brother wrapped around her little finger…………..

Brooke: MUCH LIKE a possessive little sister we know of all too well!!!! LOL!!!!

Haley: What’s it like getting a taste of your own medicine Erika?????!!!!! LOL!!!!

Anna: Yet it’s kinda worrisome given that she’s around your age, and he’s many years older…………………

Annie: Again, age is only in numbers as a certain someone said. LOL!!!!

Carla, Princesses Erika & Mackenzie: HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! -_-

Carla, and Princesses Erika and Mackenzie don’t say anything for the remainder of their meal.
Once after everyone’s finished eating, and the bill’s all paid for, everyone decides to check out the shops along Rodeo Drive.

Troy: Alrighty, who wants to go where?................

Cam: Train World just received a new set of Hornby 0-6-0 A1 Terriers, and Oxford Rail N7s, and although MTH has the new GS4 SP Daylight 4449 not much else exciting in the inventory………………

Wendy: My room’s running out of space for new plushies…………………

Chelia: Mine too.  Plus Wendy and I are almost broke after buying these new outfits.

Princess Erika: Normally I’d be ALL OVER the swimsuit shop but…………….

Sarah: We had a good look around in the palace…………..

Lexi: And it’s WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY TOO COLD!!!!

Troy: To be honest, all that’s been showing up as the newest and hottest thing in the gaming stores is the new game Cam, Princess Erika, and I created, and yet the game copies don’t last very long on the store shelves due to the game’s popularity.
Otherwise there’s nothing else new and exciting in the gaming world……………….

Carla: I’ve already made a run to a beauty salon………………….

Princess Chloe: And both Mackenzie and I have already been to a sporting goods store for new gym shorts and sports bras for track & field…………………

Cam: It’s still fun to walk up and down Rodeo Drive as well as the Resort Strip, so why don’t we walk along Rodeo Drive, and the Resort Strip before hopping on the train?

Troy: Sounds like a good plan!!!!

Wendy: I like that Idea too!!!!!

Cam: Plus there are a good number of art galleries we can still see along here!!!!

Troy: VERY TRUE!!!!!  Plus the Bellagio Fountains Still go off, and there are the Resort casinos!!!!

Chelia: YES!!!!

Princess Erika: There might not be much to see in terms of shops, but there are still other things to do, so let’s go!!!!!

Cam: YES!!!!

Wendy grabs one of Cam’s hands, Princess Mackenzie grabs the other, and Princess Erika jumps on his back.

Cam: UGGGGHHHHH OH BOY!!!!!  THIS OUGHT TO BE INTERESTING!!!!!

Princesses Wendy, Erika, and Mackenzie all give each other the evil death stare while competing for Cam’s attention.

Wendy: (HEY, BACK OFF YOU 2!!!!!!  CAM’S MY BEST FRIEND!!!!!!)

Princess Erika: (HEY, HANDS OFF MY BROTHER!!!!!)

Princess Mackenzie: (HEY!!!!!  GIVE US SOME ALONE TIME!!!!!!  HE’S MY BOYFRIEND AFTER ALL!!!!!)

Then Princesses Chloe and Chelia join in on the fun as Cheila grabs one of Troy’s hands and Princess Chloe grabs the other.

Chelia: (HEY, 2 CAN PLAY AT THAT!!!!!!)

Princess Chloe: (HEY, NOT YOU TOO CHELIA!!!!!!)

Troy: OH BOY!!!!!!!

Cam: THIS SHOULD BE A FUN NIGHT!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Manaka: WOW!!!!!  All the royal princesses want the attention!!!!!

Nina: UH-OH!!!!!  It looks like not one of the princesses are willing to share!!!!!

Ayumi: It’s SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!

Miuna: All the princesses competing for the royal knights’ attention!!!! LOL!!!

Sayu: Correction, Cam is the Royal King, but I get what you’re saying.

Sarah: Not a boring moment here I see!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Carla: WENDY & CHELIA!!!!!!  I DON’T CARE IF YOU 2 ARE ROYAL PRINCESSES OR NOT!!!!!  YOU ARE BOTH WAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO YOUNG FOR THIS SORT OF THING!!!!!!!

Needless to say the night doesn’t have a single boring moment.  Our friends enjoy strolling up and down Rodeo Drive and the Resort Strip as they enjoy visiting the various art galleries, watching the beautiful dancing fountains of the Ballegio, and walking through the lobbies of the various hotels along the Resort Strip.
Meanwhile Herbie and Johnny 5 take part in Siegfried & Roy’s vanishing act in replacement of the elephant’s vanishing act.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk48Dry8KzY

Johnny 5: Alright Herbie, here it comes!!!!!!!!

Siegfried & Roy waste no time in rolling Herbie right into a box, and closing the box up before……………

Siefried: ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!

With a snap of his finger, the box is taken down and Herbie COMPLETELY vanishes off the stage along with Johnny 5 causing the entire crowd to go crazy.
However the crowd goes even more crazy when Herbie reappears on the stage when popping up out from underneath a large blue tarp with Roy Horn riding on his hood.

Johnny 5: NOW THAT WAS AWESOME HERBIE!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEP, BEEEP!!!!!

Needless to say Herbie and Johnny 5’s vanishing act has brought new life to the show, especially after the act was put on indefinite suspension due to animal activists protesting against cruelty.  Thankfully there have been no objections to using living cars or robots in the act.

Roy: THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AGAIN YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Johnny 5: GLAD TO BE OF SERVICE!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEP!!!!!!

Meanwhile our friends soon make their way to the train station on the resort strip just in the nick of time.

Cam: Perfect timing you guys cause here comes Number #5!!!

Troy: Are you guys okay with branching off once we get to Main Street?

Cam: Yep, it’s fine by me!!!!!  I could use some peaceful alone time on the train.

Troy: I’d like to check some things out in Epcot Center myself.

Princess Erika: And all the girls and I would like to do, well girl things back at the palace…………..

All Girls: YEAH!!!!!

Wendy: I hope you don’t mind!!!!

Cam & Troy: NOT AT ALL!!!! ☺

Ward Kimball comes steaming into the station with her beautiful Star Brass 5-chime whistle blowing, beautiful brass bell ringing, firebox roaring, headlamp shining, ash pan glowing, low pressure safety valve popping off, cylinder drain cocks hissing, rods knocking, and beautiful paint and brass work gleaming with the Holiday IV Green Train and Lilly Belle Parlor Car in tow.
Shortly after coming to a gentle stop in the station, all of our friends climb aboard the front car, and make their way to the very front directly behind the locomotive as Engineer Eric Heffernan greets everyone warmly.

Eric Heffernan: WELL HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!

Cam: Hey Eric!!!!

Wendy: Good to see you again Eric!!!!

Eric Heffernan: And it’s good to see you too you royal highnesses!!!!

Cam: No need to be so formal Eric, we’re really no different from before!

Wendy: Yeah, we’re friends after all!!!!

Troy: We really don’t like the formalities anyways!!!

Eric Heffernan: That’s a relief!!! LOL!!!!  Anyways, how are you all doing?

Cam: We’re doing alright, how about you?  How’s engine 5 running?

Eric Heffernan: I’m doing pretty good and so is Engine 5.  The bad news is Number #7, the Roger E. Broggie, has been condemned with too many problems.

Wendy: OH NO!!!!!

Cam: AWWWWW MAN!!!!  THAT REALLY SUCKS!!!!

Eric Heffernan: Eh, it was bound to happen!!!  Multiple cracks were found in the frame, the cylinders are COMPLETELY out of round, the water heat exchanger was failing, so cold water was being pumped into the boiler sending it into shock and making it hard to maintain 150 pounds of pressure, and multiple loose bricks were found in the firebox!!!!  So, it was time to withdraw her from service…………

Cam: OUCH!!!!  THAT SOUNDS BAD!!!!

Eric Heffernan: Which is why she was withdrawn from service, but at the same time her train consist was looking beat up, so the entire train gets sent off to Mandez Locomotive & Machine Works first thing on Monday.
But since we’re down one engine, it would help if we had that Number #6 locomotive PRINCESS ERIKA!!!!! LOL!!!!

Princess Erika: I’m sorry, but I’m not giving up my train!!!!!  It was a gift to me from my brother Cam!!!! *Giggles*

Eric Heffernan: I’m not gonna argue because it’s not worth it!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: How are the other engines holding up?

Eric Heffernan: They’re holding up just fine so far!!!!  This engine has had A LOT of work done on her.  We’ve just replaced a leaky dry pipe, replaced all the tubes, replaced some of the bricks in the firebox, replaced all 4 leaf springs, replaced the front tender axle, replaced the 2 rear drive axle bearings, patched the small water leak in the tender tank, patched some of the wood on the cab, fixed a leak in the Westinghouse Air Compressor, re-timed all the valves, and corrected a design flaw in the Stevenson Valve Gear.  The only thing we couldn’t do, but I wish we did, was give her a new coat of paint, but otherwise she’s good to go for a while.

Cam: That’s great to hear!!!!

Eric Heffernan: Yeah, she’s running like a champ!!!!  Again, I just wish we were able to repaint her since she looks more beat up than she is.

Conductor Alan: ALL ABOARD!!!!

Eric Heffernan: OOPS!!!!  We gotta go!!!!!  I’ll talk to you once we get to Main Street!!!!

Eric climbs back into the cab as Jason the fireman rings the bell.
Eric then gives 2 blasts on the whistle, eases the throttle open, and Ward Kimball Number #5 steams out of the station, and continues her trip around the city.

Wendy holds one of Cam’s hands and lays her head on his shoulder as she watches the train crew operate the locomotive while Princess Mackenzie holds Cam’s other hand and lays her head on his other shoulder, and Princess Erika sits on his lap and snuggles into his chest.

Cam: UUUUUUUHHHHHHH, I’M A LITTLE OVER LOADED HERE!!!!!

Troy: SO AM I CAMARO!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Princess Chloe was holding one of Troy’s hand and laying her head on his shoulder, while Chelia was holding Troy’s other hand, and laying her head on his other shoulder.

Carla: OH NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!  WHERE ARE THESE GIRLS MANNERS??????!!!!!!!!  This is getting a little old here!!!!!

Anna: Erika should have outgrown this A VERY LONG TIME AGO!!!!!

Manaka: I actually agree with you on that Anna, but she LOVES her brother…………..

Sarah: OH MY GOD, HE’S ALL SHE EVER TALKS ABOUT!!!!  Whether at cheerleading or ballet, he is ALL SHE EVER TALKS ABOUT!!!!

Brooke: It got worse after Daniel, the boy she had a HUGE CRUSH ON at school, shot her down and broke her heart………………..

Annie: Then again, Daniel was out of her league, was 15, and had a girlfriend……………

Lexi: Still, his girlfriend didn’t have to be so mean to her!!!!

Ayumi: That’s soooooo sad!!!!

Nina: What happened?

Sarah: Erika REALLY LIKED this guy at our school named Daniel.  Let me tell you, Daniel was REALLY CUTE, and seemed like a nice guy, and like most of the girls at our school, Erika fell for him.  Cam, Troy, Mackenzie, and Chloe tried their best to help Erika get her confidence up, and she confessed.  Daniel ONLY recognized her because she’s Troy’s, The King Of Games Champion’s, little sister, and just wanted Troy’s autograph.  She then saw Daniel’s girlfriend whose cheer captain of the Junior Varsity Cheer Squad for the High School section of the academy, on the Student council, and is BOTH TOTALLY HOT AND SLUTTY!!!!!  She then told poor Erika to just dream on, and that no boy would ever want to date an annoying little brat like her who has no boobs.

Chelia: WHAT????????!!!!!!!!  THAT’S TERRIBLE!!!!!!

Wendy: THAT MAKES ME SOOOOOOOOOO MAD!!!!!!!

Carla: SHE SOUNDS LIKE AN AWFUL GIRL!!!!!!!

Princess Chloe: SHE WAS!!!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: CHLOE AND I WERE READY TO GIVE HER AND DANIEL A PIECE OF OUR MINDS!!!!!!

Troy: I told Daniel off by telling him, because he was mean to my sister, he can’t have my autograph.

Cam: And I refused to sell him a copy of our new game………….

Sarah: But she’s been EXTRA SUPER CLINGY to Cam ever since……………

Cam: Lucky me…………. LOL!!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: And she won’t give Cam and I much alone time!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Lexi: But we’re gonna have some girls only time in the underwater kingdom!!!!

Chelia: I’d really love to hear about your lives…………

Wendy: As would I…………………

Carla: You’ve got me intrigued as well……………

Princess Chloe: And Mackenzie and I would be MORE THAN happy to give you girls advice!!!!!

Ayumi: We’re gonna have SO MUCH FUN!!!

Manaka: It’ll be nice!!!!

Cam: And I FINALLY GET some 5 minutes peace!!!!!

Troy: ME TOO!!!!

Princess Erika: Enjoy it while you can you 2 because it’s JUST for tonight!!!!

Wendy: Yeah, and besides I plan on coming back before 12!!!!

Cam: (OH SHIT!!!!!  THAT’S THE TIME OF THE TOWN MEETING!!!!!)

Troy: (BEST MOVE THE TOWN MEETING UP TO 11:00 INSTEAD!!!!!)

Cam and Troy nod at one another acknowledging the plans of the town meeting, but the girls start getting suspicious.

Chelia: UH, Why were you 2 nodding at each other????!!!!

Wendy: Yeah, what’s up????!!!!

Cam & Troy: UHHHHH, NOTHING……………………

Wendy & Chelia: ARE YOU SURE???????!!!!!!!

Cam & Troy: YEAH!!!!!  It’s nothing!!!!!

Wendy: WE DON’T LIKE LIARS CAM!!!!!

Chelia: YEAH, SO PLEASE, TELL US WHAT’S UP!!!!

Princess Erika knows what the fuss is about and intervenes right away.

Princess Erika: Yeah, don’t worry about it!!!!  Besides, it’s Von Ludwig Gaming Corporation Related business, RIGHT?????!!!!

Princess Erika winks back at Cam and Troy in acknowledgement.

Princess Erika: (YOU 2 OWE ME BOYS!!!!! *GIGGLES*)

Troy: EXACTLY!!!!!

Cam: Yeah, it’s corporate related, and you’d be bored……………

Carla: Okay…………………I’ll go with that for now, but know that I'm clairvoyant and know when someone's not being truthful, so you better not be lying to the girls!!!!!

Ayumi: Yeah, so we’ve got our eyes on you 2!!!!

The train the steams its way around the city, and soon returns back Main Street Station.   Shortly after its arrival everyone disembarks, and goes their separate ways.

Troy: Well, I’m hopping on the monorail and heading to Epcot Center.

Cam: I’ll be here with my favorite train, so you’ll know where to find me.

Princess Erika: All of us girls will be down in the underwater kingdom for the night having fun!!!!

Wendy: I plan on returning around mid-night to catch the last ride on the train, if that’s okay?

Cam: Sure, I don’t mind!!!!  I just need to make sure this is the last train out?

Eric Heffernan: No need to ask Cam, this is the sweeper!!!!  Though no one’s caught me or Jason for our dinner breaks yet………..

Cam: If you’d like I can take over for 2 runs.  I can fire one trip, and run on the other!!!!

Eric: THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!  

Cam: Just let me go put on my overalls in the break room, and I’ll catch Jason for his dinner break.

Jason: THANKS MAN!!!!!

Troy: Well, have a good night everyone!!!!!

Wendy: I’ll see you later!!!!!

Princess Erika: I LOVE YOU TROY!!!!

Troy: I LOVE YOU TOO SWEETIE!!!!

Princess Chloe: BE SAFE MY LOVE!!!!

Troy: You too Princess!!!!

Troy gives Princess Chloe a gentle kiss on the lips before giving Princess Erika a gentle kiss on the forehead, and heads off to the monorail.

Troy: I’M OFF EVERYONE!!!!

Girls: GOOD NIGHT TROY!!!!!

Cam: I’m off to change into my overalls, so you all have a good night!!!!!

Princess Erika: WAIT!!!!!  

Princess Erika tackles Cam to the ground, before lifting up her swimsuit skirt, straddles her legs on Cam’s sides, and sits on top of him.

Cam: I should have seen this coming!!!!!

Princess Erika: Don’t think you’re going without giving me a good night kiss Big Brother!!!!!! *Giggles*

Cam: Don’t worry, I won’t!!!!!

Princess Erika: That’s a good brother!!!!! *Giggles*

Princess Erika gives Cam a gentle kiss on the forehead and Cam gives her a gentle kiss back before hugging her.

Princess Erika: Good night big brother, I love you!!!!

Cam: I love you too Sweetie!!!!

Princess Erika gets off of Cam, but only for Princess Mackenzie to pin him down and sit on top of him next.

Cam: OF COURSE!!!!!  I’m not getting up that easily!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: UHHHH, NOOOO!!!!  NOT WITHOUT Saying Good night first!!!!!  *Giggles*

Cam: No problem!!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: Say, there’s this REALLY CUTE little Italian Restaurant that I’ve been dying to try out, so would you mind giving it a try tomorrow?

Cam: You know I love Italian food, so no problem!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: YAY!!!!!  I love you Cam!!!!

Cam: I love you too!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: Good night, my King!!!!!

Cam: See you tomorrow Princess…………

Princess Mackenzie gives Cam a gentle kiss on the lips before wrapping her arms around him, and getting off of him.
But then last but not least, Wendy pins Cam down and sits on top of him too.

Cam: Am I never gonna catch Jason for his break???!!!!

Wendy: In just a minute Cam!!!!  I wanna get a better look at your handsome face first!!!! *Giggles*

Cam: Well, I don’t mind being pinned down by you since you’re A LOT more gentle than the other 2.

Wendy: AWWWWWW, Thank you!!!!!!  I’M SO GLAD!!!!
Anyways, I plan on hanging out with the rest of the girls until mid-night.  See you back here then?

Cam: Sounds like a good plan!!!!

Wendy: Awesome!!!!  See you then!!!! *Giggles*

Wendy gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek before gently getting off of him, and helping Cam back on his feet.
This however makes Princesses Erika and Mackenzie even more jealous yet again.

Princesses Erika & Mackenzie: WENNNNNNNNNNNNDYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?????!!!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE STOLE MY MOVE!!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: I CAN’T BELIEVE HE HAS NO PROBLEM WITH HER PINNING HIM DOWN!!!!!!

Carla: GIRLS!!!!!!!  WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS!!!!!!  NONE OF YOU SHOULD BE DOING SUCH A THING LIKE THAT; IT’S UNPROPER FOR A PRINCESS, ESPECIALLY OUT IN PUBLIC!!!!!

Princesses Mackenzie & Wendy: Sorry Carla………………….

Carla: WHERE IS THAT PRINCESS ERIKA?????!!!!!

Wendy: I think she’s with the rest of the girls from her world………..

And that’s exactly where Princess Erika is.  She removes her cardigan, and shoes before she hops on Sammy’s back, and the rest of her girl friends hop on the back of the rest of dolphins in Sammy’s pod.

Princess Erika: Well, let’s go girls!!!!

Manaka: Well, looks like Princess Erika’s taking the long way back…………

Miuna: None of us have our bathing suits on, so we’ll teleport back.

Chelia: Works for me!!!!

Ayumi: Same here!!!!

Wendy: Me too!!!!

And like that, one by one, each of the girls left on dry land teleport back to the Underwater Castaway Sapphire Kingdom, while Troy hops on the East Bound Monorail en-route to the Ticket & Transportation Center, and Cam enters the break room and changes into his overalls.
Troy sends Cam a text about the upcoming Town Meeting.

Troy: Don’t forget, Town Meeting at 11:00 P.M. Sharp!!!!!

Cam: No problem!!!!  Cam and Troy then text everyone they want involved about the town meeting before going their separate ways for the next few hours.

To Be Continued……………

Chapter 5

Town Square Meeting

11:00 P.M. rolls around a lot quicker than expected as Ward Kimball Number #5 steams into Main Street Station where everyone’s waiting.
Conductor Alan announces that the train will be holding for an hour due to maintenance being performed on the tracks to cover up what's really going on.

Conductor Alan: As a friendly reminder everyone, this train will be holding here for the next hour and will not be departing until 12:00 mid-night for our last trip around the city.
Some workmen are repairing some signal lamps on the track, and without those signal lights, we’re not allowed to move, so until the repairs are complete, we’ll be holding here in Main Street Station.
You’re more than welcome to wait, but if you’d like to do other things, we suggest you walk.
We’ll be departing again for our last trip around the city at mid-night.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Once Ward Kimball and her train come to a complete stop, Cam steps out of Ward Kimball’s cab as Eric Heffernan comes back from his dinner break.

Cam: Alright, she’s all yours again.

Eric Heffernan: Thanks again Cam!!!!!  We really appreciate it!!!!

Cam: No problem!!!!  Now Troy and I will be having the town meeting here once he returns from Epcot.

Troy: Already back!!!!

Cam: Awesome, how was it????!!!!!

Troy: It was awesome as was Metreon Center.  I only wish they had the aquarium open, but unfortunately it’s closed for renovations along with the Mexican pavilion.  
However, I was still able to see enough.

Cam: That’s good!!!!  OH, Here comes Helmsley, Poe and Finn!!!!  I take it Ramsley stayed behind at the underwater kingdom to keep watch on the girls.

Troy: Jim West and Artemus Gordon have just gotten off duty and are here as well!!!!

Cam: Rami and Toby are back from their race, and are accounted for, and Dorion and Haji have wrapped things up in the weapons shop.

Troy: Now who is it we are waiting on now?

Robert: NOOOOOOOOO, GET AWAY!!!!!!!!

Then Cam, and Troy hear a bunch of chairs wrestling and being thrown around in the station's break room.

John Goss: WHAAAA, HAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAA, HOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!

Then EVERYONE hears the sound of a monorail horn echoing out of the breakroom’s bathroom.

Big Joe: GOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robert: OOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!  IT BURNS!!!!!!!!!!

Troy: UGH-OH BOY!!!!

Cam: AND THE "BUTT BASSOON" STRIKES AGAIN!!!!!

Big Joe: DON’T YOU DARE RUN AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!

John Goss: UH-OH!!!!!

And Big Joe chases John Goss out of the station’s break room and right into Town Square where everyone attending the meeting is waiting.
Poor Robert on the other hand wasn’t really feeling so good.

Robert: I’ll be out in a second; I just need to…………….*THROWS UP*……BLEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Cam: And of course we’ve got a protein spill!!!!

Troy: At least it’s happening in the right place!!!!!

Eric Heffernan: JOHN, LAY OFF THE MUSHROOMS!!!!!!!

John Goss: NOOOO!!!!!!

Jason: It’s just as bad as when Joe eats salads!!!! LOL!!!!

Big Joe: SHUT UP YOU!!!!!

Eric Heffernan: Well Jason, drop the fire for now.  If anyone asks, we'll just say she's been acting up!!!

Jason: Okay, sounds good!!!!  She's known to work water on a bad day anyway's, so we'll just say another day on the railroad!!! LOL!!!

Jim West: Well the gangs here you guys, so what’s up????!!!!!

Helmsley: Yeah, Ramsley wants me to report everything, but promises NOT to tell anyone except for her royal highness Princess Erika since she’s the only one aware of what’s going on.

Rami: Yeah, we can’t wait to hear about your plans.

Cam: We need to wait for Bishop Robert to finish Code V-ing in the restroom…………….

Troy: It MOST DEFINITELY involves the Catholic Church, so we can’t have the meeting without him.

Robert: BE RIGHT OUT!!!!!!  BLEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dorion: Anything you need help with, Haji and I are ready and rearing to go!!!!

Artemus Gordon: Anything you need help with, I’ll gladly invent something to help you!!!!!

Haji: Name your weapon, and I’ll forge it!!!!

Herbie soon shows up with Johnny 5 after the second and final performance in Siegfried & Roy.

Herbie: BEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEP!!!!!

Johnny 5: DON’T START THE MEETING JUST YET!!!!!!!  WE’RE HERE NOW!!!!!!

Noah and his beautiful Airbus H-130 T-2 Ecco-Star Helicopter from Papillon soon gently touches down in the middle Town Square before shutting off.

Noah: ALRIGHT, I’M HERE NOW!!!!!

Mayor: AND SO AM I!!!!!

Robert: Alright; I think I’m done hurling from the cause of John Goss’s stupid Butt Bassoon!!!!!  

Big Joe: SERIOUSLY, YOU’RE A WALKIN SEWAGE PLANT JOHN!!!!!

John Goss: WELL, EXCUSE ME!!!!!!  YOU'RE NO DIFFERENT WHEN IT COMES TO SALADS AND BEANS!!!!!

Big Joe: SHUT UP YOU!!!!!

Cam: Princess Erika is bad too when it comes to cake, quiche, omelets, or anything else that combines dairy and egg, so you’re not alone!!!!!

Troy: As is Princess Chloe, so darn right you’re not alone in that department!!!!!

Cam: Then again, we're bad when it comes to garlic given that we're allergic to the darn thing..............I hate it.........

Troy: Hence why we ALWAYS have the garlic removed from tomato sauce, which SUCKS!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msUShf3B3Hk

Cam: ALRIGHTY, LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE’S ACCOUNTED FOR!!!!!

Mayor: Yes, your highness, now please tell everyone here whose been asked to attend why we’re having this meeting…………..

Troy: Well Cam and I have been talking with Princesses Wendy and Chelia along with their guardian Carla, and hand maidens Ayumi and Nina………………….

Cam: And around this time of year in the world Troy and I come from, this is a VERY SPECIAL and IMPORTANT time of year……………

Troy: It’s also the MOST MAGICAL, WONDERFUL, and BEAUTIFUL time of year too…………….

Cam: That’s because it’s the start of the Holiday Season for us in our world…………..

Troy: But when we talked to Princesses Wendy and Chelia, they had no idea what we were talking about, and neither did their guardian Carla.

Cam: And it’s our understanding that the Magical City of Grand Bay Lake along with the rest of The Magic Kingdom has NEVER celebrated this wonderful time of the year, let alone has any idea on what the holiday season really is or what it's about…………..

Troy: It’s a wonderful time of the year where friends and family from all over the world spend time with those they love and care about the most.

Cam: And while that goes on, the Catholic Churches tell the story for the reason behind the spirit of it……………We’ll go into more details with and inform Robert about it.

Robert: Actually we at Notre Dame are well aware of it, but we've never spoke of it because we never had a reason to bring it up given that the Magic Kingdom never celebrated it………….

Troy: Well it is time we change that for good!!!!!!

Cam: And during this time of year, everything is beautifully decorated, holiday music plays everywhere, steam trains travel all over the place, snow men are built, gingerbread houses are made out of cookies, gram crackers, candy, and cake frosting…………..

Troy: Classic Christmas movies are played ALL OVER the network, you hear Christmas music ALL OVER the radios, giant Christmas Trees are put up in EVERY BIG location in almost EVERY CITY…………….

Cam: And for those who are Jewish, beautiful Menorahs are placed in various locations, and candles in the Menorah are lit during the entire duration of the holiday known as Hanukkah……………..

Troy: While also kinda coinciding during the Christmas Season………………

Cam: During Christmas there’s a big guy who flies around in a sleigh pulled by 9 tiny reindeer delivering presents to children ALL OVER the globe, and his name is Santa Claus…………..

Troy: To give you a better idea of what the Holiday Season is………………Open your Ipads, and I’ll send you links to videos, pictures, and songs……………

EVERYONE in the meeting gets out their IPads and opens up the links Troy sends them, and EVERYONE is completely blown away by what they see and hear on their IPads………..

Cam: And it gets better…………

Troy: The next link I’m sending you are things Cam, Princesses Erika, and I all do every year as a holiday tradition.

Cam: We visit what is known as The Happiest Place On Earth in our world, and here’s what they do during this time of year…………..

Troy: And in it’s sister resort known as The Most Magical Place On Earth in our world, the second link shows you what they do…………

Cam: On the third link is what you’ll see what they do in the city known as Sin City in our world…………….

One by one, everyone attending the meeting opens up the links on their IPads and are all flabbergasted by what they see from Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Las Vegas.

Cam: Everything you see being done in those places in the links, Troy, Princess Erika, and I would like to have painstakingly replicated here.

Troy: All the nighttime shows and spectaculars you see in the links HAVE TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME here in Grand Bay Lake.

Cam: Troy, Princess Erika, and I all leave for Las Vegas in 2 weeks, and we’ll give you more information on how Sin City celebrates the Holidays when we get back.

Troy: Monday-Wednesday to get a head start, start working behind the scenes to get the nighttime shows ready.
It’ll take more time to prepare the Believe In Holiday Magic Fireworks Show, World Of Color Season Of Light water show, The Christmas Fantasy Parade, Holiday touches on The Main Street Electrical Parade, and getting the choirs ready for both the Candle Light Procession, and Christmas Eve Mass than it will for all the exterior decorating.  So for this reason, we want work to start on everything behind the scenes for the nighttime shows ASAP!!!!!

Cam: But starting on November 28, a 9:00 p.m. curfew goes into effect for the entire city, except for those working of course!!!!

Troy: Those of the Royal Families living in the Royal Castle and Underwater Castaway Sapphire Bay Kingdom are to be evicted from November 28 to Princess Wendy’s 13th Birthday on Friday December 8.

Cam: The reason for the evictions and curfews is, that is when ALL the exterior decorating takes place!!!!!
The It’s A Small World Replica Façade Mall near the Resort Strip on the train route gets decked out with Christmas Lights, music, and the Nutcracker Projection Show, Town Square gets its MASSIVE Christmas Tree, ALL THE BUILDINGS get scaffolding up in place in order to install ALL the Christmas lights and decorations, ALL the steam trains have to STOP hauling passengers, and will be hauling freight and cargo in order to get all the supplies we need.

Robert: That will be pretty awesome!!!!

John Goss: Yes, because we finally get to put the trains to work!!!!!

Big Joe: Yeah, because the trains will be doing what they were built to do!!!!!

Eric Heffernan: Too bad Roger E. Broggie was withdrawn from service because it would have been AWESOME to actually see her working hard!!!!

Jason: It will still be neat to see all these engines working at max capacity!!!!

Cam: Also, ALL the helicopters will be grounded from air tours, and will instead be used to help construction workers with heavy lifting, and putting on Christmas Lights and decorations in high places like the Town Square Christmas Tree, Grand Bay Lake Tower, the Grand Bay Lake Eye, Notre Dame De Royal, ALL the shops, hotels, and resorts, the new roller coaster, California Screamin on Paradise Bay, Main Street Train Station, and the Royal Castle.

Troy: The Royal Castle will be COMPLETELY decorated in lights, icicles, and Christmas Décor…………….

Cam: The inside of the castle, hotels, and resorts will also be decorated with Christmas Trees, gingerbread houses, garlands, ribbons, and wreathes, and Christmas trains.

Troy: Also ALL BIG movie theaters are to play the AMAZING CLASSIC Christmas Movies all day and night until New Years.
Here is a small list of them now, and we'll send you more when we get back from Las Vegas.

Cam: You’ll see them pop up in the links we’re sending you now.
For those that are not that big of hits, or on the dated side, will instead play in ALL Resort and Hotel movie selections.

Meanwhile in the underwater kingdom, all the girls wait for Wendy as she teleports her way into the underwater kingdom.

Wendy: Sorry, about the wait, I had to go back to the Castle to get Happy!!!!

Carla: You mean that stuffed Tom Cat???!!!!!

Chelia: Awwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!  He’s so cute!!!!  Didn’t we buy him on Redeo Drive on the day of the invasion???!!!!

Wendy: We sure did!!!!!  Anyways, what’s up?

Chelia: Well, all the girls are busy talking about girl stuff of course!!!! LOL!!!

Wendy: Awesome!!!!

All the girls are having a great time hanging out in the atrium of the royal palace.  They are soon all in marvel of Princess Erika’s beautifully displayed steam train named Reveille along with the gorgeous matching cars coupled behind her.

Sarah: And you say your brother gave you this train!!!!!

Princess Erika: In the real world he did, but it’s on the MUCH SMALLER 1:20.3 scale model.  But still VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!  And because it was a gift from him, there is NO WAY I’m letting ANYONE take her!!!!   She means too much to me since she’s a gift from the person I love and care about the most…………..and she's so pretty!!!!

Sarah: AWWWWWWWW!!!!!  That’s so sweet!!!!!

Anna: Though you REALLY need to stop obsessing over your brother so much!!!!

Haley: I kinda agree!!!!  I understand that you 2 are REALLY close, but come on, give him a break here!!!!!

Princess Chloe: Poor Mackenzie can’t even get much alone time because of Princess Erika being so possessive……………

Princess Mackenzie: She gets MAD every time Cam and I cuddle, every time we kiss, and when we even try to go as far as doing………………..”THAT,” she won’t have ANY OF IT!!!!!  
Even if Cam and I are in the car, she calls BOTH OF OUR CELL PHONES!!!!  And unfortunately Cam WILL NOT share a hotel room with me yet because he's not yet ready!!!!

Princess Chloe: If you were in Cam’s old car, you 2 could put your phones on silent……………..

Princess Mackenzie: But it’s a problem in his new car that he bought back in July because the darn infotainment system has blue-tooth and instantly connects to both of our cell phones.  So it doesn’t help AT ALL if the phones are put on silent………………

Princess Erika: HEY, HE’S MY BROTHER………………….

Princess Mackenzie: AND I’VE LIKED HIM FOR A VERY LONG TIME!!!!....................

Chelia: So has Wendy, and let's not forget she's first in line to the throne after Cam!!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK* HEY, NOT SOOOOOOO LOUD!!!!!

Lexi: I think that’s really cute Wendy……………..

Annie: But isn’t he a little too old for you given that you're only one year older than Princess Erika?  13 and 23 seems kinda creepy..............

Anna: It would kinda be like him dating his little sister given that she's around the same age.....................

Wendy: Well, Princess Erika said that age is only in numbers, right?

Princess Erika: I did say that, but come on, THAT’S MY BROTHER YOU’RE HITTING ON!!!!!  And you're ONLY JUST ONE YEAR older than me!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: AND HE’S TAKEN!!!!

Chelia: Again, even if he's taken, the law here states that the princess first in line to the throne...........

Princess Mackenzie: GETS FIRST DIBS ON ANYONE SHE WANTS, WHILE I'M ONLY FOURTH IN LINE, SO I HAVE TO COMPROMISE; I KNOW!!!!!  UUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Wendy: Still, I can’t help how I feel about him…………….he’s the only person who understood me on the first day of our quest when we first met................  

Carla: OH, Here we go again……………

Wendy: It happened right after Cadence and I went with Cam to retrieve the legendary sword.  Unfortunately right after Cam removed the sword from the pedestal, it broke, and no one believed us when we told them it was the legendary sword that was wielded by King Arthur.  Carla bit my head off, and Chelia didn’t really believe me either, and it wasn't long until both of you ganged up on  me, which made me cry.
I ran away, and hid from everyone.  Cam found me crying in a barrel, and was surprisingly very understanding of me.
Everyone laughs at the fact that I’m such a crybaby, but Cam doesn’t.  He’s surprisingly very understanding of everything.  Then I find out that he and I really aren’t so different………………

Princess Erika: Well, I too am kind of a cry baby myself, so I can COMPLETELY relate to how you feel in that department.  Besides Cam's so used to me crying a lot, so it's no problem for him to deal with.  However, I don’t like bringing it up, but Cam used to cry A LOT when he was in high school…………….it got worse after his accident with Dad’s car……………..in fact it got so bad that he almost got suspended for just defending himself against a gang of bullies.  He even tried to kill himself………………..

Lexi: OH MY GOD!!!!!!  THAT’S AWFUL!!!!!

Brooke: You never told us any of this before Erika…………

Princess Erika: That’s because I don’t like bringing it up!!!  I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, AND TO THINK HE’D TRY TO KILL HIMSELF JUST BREAKS MY HEART!!!!!  Hearing him cry himself to sleep every night was very painful for me, which is why I vowed to protect him from getting hurt!!!!

Princess Chloe: SO THAT IS WHY YOU’RE SO POSSESSIVE OF HIM!!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: You’re only trying to protect him from a repeat of what happened……………..

Princess Erika: I can’t bare to see him suffer like that again……………….and after the accident he’d have nightmares reliving the crash over and over again………………….I'd wake up hear him screaming from across our shared Jack & Jill bathroom, so I'd crawl into his bed to try to calm him down and comfort him.

Manaka: OH MY GOSH………………

Princess Mackenzie: IS THAT WHY HE WON'T SHARE A HOTEL ROOM WITH ME????!!!!!

Princess Erika: And Cam is the sweetest and kindest boy there is………………..he doesn’t deserve to be mistreated like he has been almost all of his life……………..and his terrible accident REALLY shook all of us up VERY badly.  But because he was the main victim of the accident, it shook him up the worst.
And to answer your question Mackenzie, it's YES, BECAUSE HE IS EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT, AND DOESN'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW!!!!!

Annie: Wasn’t your mom or dad able to help………….

Princess Erika: They were mostly too busy with work to even notice that Cam was suffering…………………so Troy and I did the best we could to protect him.
I love him so much because he’s been nothing but a good big brother to me, and I wanna return the favor and be a good little sister to him, even if it means……………

Princess Mackenzie: Being a complete brat……………….

Princess Erika: Yes…………….it’s out of love because I can’t bare to see him go through that again……………and whenever Cam’s in pain, I’m in pain too……….

Sarah: That I can COMPLETELY understand………………

Princess Mackenzie: It now all makes sense……………….

Wendy: Cam never told me most of this, but I can understand why………….he’s such a kind person, and not at all like my obnoxious former suitor Ren, who is thankfully locked up in a highly secured prison right now.

Carla: OH PLEASE, DON’T EVER MENTION THAT CREEP’S NAME AGAIN!!!!!!

Wendy: The more Cam and I get to know each other, the more attached to him I get, and then we meet Herbie…………….

Princess Erika: Cam has always been a HUGE fan of Herbie The Love Bug since he was young.  In fact he was WAY YOUNGER than me when he first saw the Herbie movies.

Wendy: The thing is, Herbie’s been through more hardships than Cam and I combined, and yet he’s still our best friend.  And it’s also through Herbie that I see Cam’s soft and more sensitive side………..my feelings only grow for him after he rescues me from Wendy’s Castle, and then we go through an embarrassing episode in Lemmy’s Castle……………*BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK*…………….I’d rather not go into full details on that, but first I accidentally give Cam a black eye when he accidentally peeped up my skirt and saw my underwear when we crawled through a tight space, and then both Cam and I got VERY EMBARASSED after being de-aged by Lemmy after he waved his magic scepter at us………

Haley: What do you mean by de-aged?

Wendy: Well here’s the thing, Cam is 23, and I’m 13 in a few weeks.  However after Lemmy used his scepter on us, Cam and I were de-aged; meaning that we both went back down in age physically, and turned back into kids.  My body was de-aged to that of a 5-year-old’s and Cam’s was de-aged down to a 10-year-old's.  

Princess Erika: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  YOU LOST BOTH YOUR SKIRT AND YOUR UNDERWEAR AND GOT EMBARASSED WHEN CAM SAW YOU WITHOUT THEM, WHILE CAM’S VOICE SOUNDED LIKE HE SWALLOWED A TANK FULL OF HELIUM!!!!!!

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK*  AGAIN, I DID NOT LOSE EM, THEY ONLY FELL OFF OF ME BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER FIT AFTER BEING TURNED INTO A 5-YEAR-OLD!!!!!  BESIDES, IT'S NOT LIKE HE SAW ME NAKED; MY JACKET STILL COVERED ME DOWN TO THE KNEES SINCE IT WAS TOO BIG FOR ME, BUT  IT STILL WAS SO EMBARASSING!!!!!!  However, it was funny hearing Cam’s voice!!!!  *Bursts out laughing* I couldn’t stop laughing after hearing his voice pitched like that………………it was actually REALLY CUTE!!!!!
Also..............*BLUSHES BRIGHTER PINK*.................Cam was really cute as a 10-year-old................*Giggles* Such a little cutie he was!!!!! *Giggles*
Anyways, Cam and I promise each other we wouldn’t tell anyone about the embarrassing moment that happened to us, but Troy heard everything from behind the prison door, and when he returned to the hotel in Tocoma, he told EVERYONE who was helping us out in the upcoming battle the WHOLE THING!!!!!!

Princess Erika: I remember that it was SOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!

Wendy: NOT TO US IT WASN'T!!!!!

Princess Erika: Anyways, Troy and I wouldn’t stop arguing the next morning, but lets just say that Troy and I don’t always see eye to eye the way Cam and I do.  But I still love him.
However, he can be mean when he wants to be.

Wendy: I know!!!!  He was such a MEANIE that night!!!
Anyways, that night Herbie breaks down with electrical problems during a heavy thunder storm, and we wind up in a haunted house.  Cam gets Herbie fixed, but the storm doesn’t let up.  However we find out that the house is haunted by the ghost of Dr. Jekyll whose cursed with turning into this monster known as Mr. Hyde.  Cam and I then solve the mystery behind the haunting, and we wind up getting the house under our ownership.  We also find out that the house also belonged to the  famous artist Ward Kimball, and see how it was beautifully restored.
Our friendship only blossoms from then, and it gets better when we take down the twin castles together as a team.
Unfortunately in Roy’s Castle, Manaka, Chelia, and I are all blocked from helping Cam during the boss fight by a firey barrier…………

Chelia: You can say that again!!!!  I thought I was gonna melt in that boss room!!!!!

Manaka: Seriously, we almost caught fire!!!!!!

Wendy: However, Cam, and I sorta fight because he was stupid enough to run into the boss room and take on Ludwig by himself, but Chelia, Carla, and Manaka ganged up on him over........................*BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK*........................miss understandings from the times Cam accidentally looked up my skirt and saw my underwear..................

Chelia: But we all had to climb a fence to get to the boss room, and we were all wearing mini-skirts................

Manaka: And Cam wasn't understanding why we wanted him to climb the fence first!!!!!!

Carla: And we should have stopped to ask you 2 what it was all about, but we instead jumped to conclusions, and got mad at him.

Wendy: And he became and idiot and tried to take on the boss himself before we end up having to bail him out.

Nina: The time you 2 weren't talking was the LONGEST AWKWARD SILENCE EVER!!!!!

Wendy: I was pretty angry with Cam, and I unfortunately let it get to me because then I freeze the moment I see that giant monster bird……………what was his name again?

Carla: I believe it was King Helmaroc, but I'm not entirely sure..............

Chelia: Don’t get me started on the bird…………

Manaka: That was scary……………..

Carla: I thought we were ALL gonna be eaten if you 2 hadn't taken him out!!!!!

Wendy: Manaka, Carla, Chelia, Miuna, Nina, and Ayumi rescue Twilight, Celestia, Luna, and Cadence make it out of the tower, but Cam and I get stuck in the tower and have to take on the bird.  
Unfortunately I freeze......................I am just too frozen with fear because I'm afraid of giant monster birds, and am nothing but a Burden to Cam.  But Cam goes out of his way to protect me, and ends up getting hurt....................................

A few tears pour down Wendy's face, for she could never forgive herself for letting Cam get hurt while he protected her during the boss fight against King Helmaroc The Demon Bird.

Wendy: I still won't forgive myself for letting him get hurt, however it's because of that, I snap out of it, and we take that bird down together!!!!!
Because of our magic abilities with him being a combat magic user, and me a sky magic user, we defeat the bird together as a team…………………though it scared me seeing Cam fight against that giant bird.....................I was constantly worrying given how violently that bird was flying around when Cam was fighting it on his own and then he got hurt.....................I just wish I could have protected him from getting hurt...................I was such an idiot for letting my anger to get the best of me.
But we make up after taking down the bird, and the bond of our friendship only grows.

Chelia: To make this long story short, you 2 work together as a team, and it’s because your magic abilities compliment each other so much, and personality wise, you 2 understand each other so much, that it really only makes you fall for him even harder…………………

Nina: Your last good bye for a while at Lancelot's lookout sounds like to was so romantic...............

Ayumi: Just the 2 of you watching the sunrise together...........

Carla: Need I remind you girls that I was there, and so was Herbie the car?

Miuna: But you both gave Cam and Wendy some space when they said their last good byes for a while....................

Sayu: Then how much you cried after he went back to his world...................it seems like you were really missing him while he was away....................

Carla: She was crying for hours right after Cam returned back to his home.  It didn't even take her 5 seconds to start missing him when he disappeared.

Wendy: *Blushes Bright Pink*  Well yeah, I’m not gonna lie, and then during Fantasmic’s World Of Color & Earth Illuminations On The Rivers Of Light, Cam and Princess Mackenzie try to have their first dance, but………….

Princess Mackenzie: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK*  It was a TOTAL DISASTER!!!!!

Wendy: I felt awful that it was such a disaster, while Princess Chloe and Troy were having such a good time.
I was nervous, but I went up to Cam and we finished the dance.  We actually had fun, and it was my first time too…………

Princess Erika: Funny thing is, Cam and Troy have taken classes for Square Dancing, Salsa Dancing, and even Ballroom Dancing, but ALL of their dancing partners were MANY YEARS OLDER than them, so they weren’t so shy about it.  In fact both Cam and Troy are pros when it comes to dancing…………….however it’s when doing it with someone closer to their age in a coed environment is when Cam freezes………………….
When dancing with his crush Princess Mackenzie, he was very shy about his lack of experience in coed dancing, and got VERY nervous.
However, for some reason Wendy, because you and Cam bonded very well, he didn’t feel very nervous dancing with you.

Wendy: I was nervous at first but after we started dancing, we started talking, and we actually had a lot of fun and even enjoyed ourselves.
In many ways, that was the highlight of the night, and was the most magical night I ever had in my life…………

All Girls: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

Carla: Though I’m still not comfortable about the age difference, Cam is a good person who’s never done anything to disrespect Wendy…………..

Wendy: Na-ah!!!!  There was never a time I felt uncomfortable around him.  Well, except the time he accidentally looked up my skirt, but that was an accident.  Otherwise, he makes me feel safe, makes me feel emotionally secure, and even makes me not afraid to be myself…………….

Carla: I have noticed your confidence increase since you 2 have become such good friends.

Princess Erika: And at the same time Cam has learned to be more of a team player because of you.

Chelia: Yeah, so you 2 have really helped each other grow.

Sarah: They say meeting a friend like that is very rare…………….it’s like…………lightening strikes, maybe once, maybe twice, and it all comes down to you……………..

Lexi: Meaning that you’ll get lucky to find such a special friend like that, and if you’re lucky your paths will cross more than once, but you have to look really hard to find a friend like that…………..

Princess Mackenzie: That’s how I felt when I first met Cam.  The thing is, when I first met him, he was on our school’s piano in the auditorium while I was on my way to the school's gym to meet up with the other cheerleaders.  I got lost and took a wrong turn since I had just moved to the area.
He was playing Landslide from Fleetwood Mac and had no idea he had an audience.  I however was completely caught off guard.  His piano playing and singing sounded so beautiful, and yet very sad.  It’s like Cam was putting all of his feelings into the music.
Well, I was very shy to go up to ask for help, but he sees me and instantly stops.
He blushes out of embarrassment, and I tell him “NO PLEASE DON’T STOP!!!!  I think it’s very beautiful!!!!  Please don’t mind me!!!”  He then asks if I needed help, and I then blushed out of embarrassment since I was both a Freshmen and a new girl.  I then tell him that I’m both a freshmen and new to the area, and I could obviously see that he’s a senior.  When it comes to cliques in high school, freshmen are told to STAY THE HELL AWAY from seniors.  Especially since seniors are both VERY popular, and practically own the school, where as Freshmen are new, naïve, and are seen as getting in the way.
However Cam was different from the other boys.  He was actually very kind to me, and gave me the directions I needed to get to the gym.
I then thanked him and said I was sorry for bothering him, and he told me no problem, not to worry, and that I wasn’t a bother at all.  And he actually sounded like he meant it, and not just to be nice.  Most boys only sound nice because they all want one thing, especially when it comes to cheerleaders like Princesses Erika, Chloe, and me, and that is they all want sex.
But Cam actually sounded sincere, and for that I instantly wanted to become his friend.  Next I see him studying in the computer lab and ask him if the computer next to him is taken, and if he minds if I sit next to him.  He then says that the computer wasn’t taken and he doesn’t mind at all.  
I then ask him what he’s studying for, and he told me he was studying to go to college abroad in England where half of his mom’s family comes from since his mom is half British.
I then tell him that it’s so cool, and that I wish I could do that.  
Cam is then so sweet and supportive by saying, “Maybe some day you will if you put your mind to it.  Nothing’s impossible unless you say it is.”
I then knew from that moment that I wanted to be Cam’s friend, and so I asked him if we could be friends and he said no problem.  His brother Troy was also dating Chloe, a Sophomore, and another girl on the cheerleading squad, and Chloe and I were already becoming friends, so it worked out very well.
Needless to say that after becoming friends it didn’t take long for me to fall for him……..however it took me a VERY LONG TIME for me to tell him how I felt, and it took him a VERY LONG TIME to ask me out!!!  LOL!!!!

All Girls: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

Wendy: That is such a good story!!!!!

Princess Erika: It seems that we all have something in common………….

Princess Mackenzie: Our hearts are in the same place when it comes to Cam…………..

Wendy: Our biggest fear is losing him…………..

Princess Erika: We’ve come very close to losing him too…………..

Wendy: Cam and I made a promise to always be best friends no matter how badly we fight, how ugly things get, who we marry, how far away we are from each other, or where we go in life……………………..we’ll always be best friends to have and to hold, for rich or for poor, in sickness and in health until death do us part…………….we’ll always be best friends………..cross our hearts, hope to die, eat 1000 needles if we lie..............

All Girls: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Princess Erika: MUCH LIKE A MARRIAGE VOW!!!!!

Chelia: Wendy, I never knew you and Cam made such a beautiful promise…………

Sarah: It’s so cute and so sweet………….

Wendy: *Blushes Brighter Pink*  We call it our special eternal vow, and we hook our pinkies together whenever we state it…………..

All Girls: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Lexi: THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!

Wendy: I can’t help how I feel about him, and even though I know he’s taken, and he's much older than me, I won’t give up on him…………I know I just can't...................I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART AND CAN'T BARE THE THOUGHT OF LOSING HIM!!!!!  A life without him would break my heart..................

Princess Mackenzie: Hey, I feel the exact same way, so Neither will I!!!!!!

Princess Erika: And you’ll BOTH have to get through me!!!!! *Giggles*  

Wendy: And I don’t mind that!!! ☺

Brooke: What fun is there without a little competition, right????!!!!

Ayumi: Nothing good comes easy after all!!!!!

Nina: You 3 are just sooooo cute!!!!

Miuna: Your hearts are all in the same place!!!!  You all love Cam, but for different reasons…………..

Sayu: I just hope no one gets hurt………..

Carla: That’s what I always try to tell em………

Wendy: We know Carla………….

Princess Erika: I’m only his sister and can only protect him so much…………..

Princess Mackenzie: I may be leaving to study abroad in Japan if everything gets approved………and I'll be gone for a year just like Cam and Troy were when they studied abroad.......................

Princess Chloe: You’re really gonna do it????!!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: Yeah, especially after since Cam told me, “Maybe someday you can too if you put your mind too it.  Nothing’s impossible unless you say it is.”  And both he and Troy studied abroad in England for a year, and I’d like to do the same in Japan.

Princess Chloe: I wish you the best of luck Mackenzie.

Anna: We all do!!!!

Annie: Anyways, what else would girls like to do?

Haley: I say, why don’t we get back to doing our nails, and then go to facials?

All Girls: YEAH, GOOD IDEA!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: I’m down for that!!!

Princess Chloe: ME TOO!!!!

Carla: Just don’t touch the hair, and we should be fine!!!!

Wendy: I think I have just enough time to get my fingernails done.  I promised Cam, I’d meet up with him at mid-night…………

Princess Mackenzie: No funny business okay????!!!!!

Carla: DON'T YOU BE GIVING WENDY ANY IDEAS NOW!!!!!

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK* IT WON’T BE ANYTHING LIKE THAT!!!!!  CARLA WOULD KILL ME IF THAT HAPPENED!!!!!!

Carla: You are far too young for that sort of thing child!!!!

Chelia: Awwwwwwwwwww!!!!  You’re so cute when you get all embarrassed over your feelings for Cam!!!!! *Giggles*

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHTER PINK* AGAIN, NOT SO LOUD CHELIA!!!!!

Meanwhile back at Main Street Train Station, Cam and Troy prepare to wrap up the meeting.

Cam: So with that being said, it’ll be hard work, and it’ll be tedious……………

Troy: But we promise you that it’ll ALL BE WORTH IT!!!!!!

Cam: With all hands on deck, we can start this off with a BANG!!!!!!

Troy: AND GIVE THE MAGIC KINGDOM THE HOLIDAY CELEBRATION IT DESERVES!!!!!

Cam: ARE ALL OF YOU WITH ME????????!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Troy: AWESOME!!!!!!

Cam: Herbie, we’ll need you to get your fellow Stumpfel VW Beetle friends to help out just like you did in Herbie Rides Again.  Do you think you can get em back again??

Herbie: BEEEEEEP, BEEEEEP!!!!

Troy: Johnny 5, we’ll have replicas of your older robot siblings Numbers #1-4 built to help out as well, does that work for you?

Johnny 5: Anything to be of service!!!!!!

Troy: AWESOME!!!!!

Cam: BUT ONE IMPORTANT RULE……………………..Princesses Wendy and Chelia, along with their hand maidens Nina, and Ayumi, and their Guardian Carla……….

Troy: As well as Royal Guardian Manaka, and Hand Maidens Miuna and Sayu………….

Cam & Troy: ARE NOT TO KNOW A SINGLE THING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT’S A SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!

Cam: And it all HAS TO BE DONE IN TIME FOR PRINCESS WENDY’S 13TH BIRTHDAY FRIDAY DECEMBER 8TH!!!!!  

Troy: THE CELEBRATION BEGINS AT 5:00 P.M. SHARP!!!!!

Cam: So Dorion & Haji, stop forging weapons and start forging Christmas ornaments!!!!

Grand Bay Lake Limited: Stop hauling passengers, and start hauling freight and cargo!!!!!
Grand Bay Lake Monorails, limited service for workers only!!!!

Troy: BECAUSE……………

Cam & Troy: WE WILL BE THROWING THE MAGIC KINGDOM’S VERY FIRST HOLIDAY CELEBRATION!!!!!!

Everyone: YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Mayor: SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLAN!!!!!

Cam then looks at the time and sees that it’s 11:55.

Cam: UH-OH!!!!  

Troy: Princess Wendy will be here any minute!!!!

Cam: And with that MEETING ADJOURNED!!!!!

Troy: This is the part where you all go home!!!!!

Eric Heffernan: Well, time for me to get back to the engine!!!!

Jason: Time for me to relight the fire in the firebox and build the pressure back up!!!!

Cam: And best I change back into my normal clothes.

Troy: Alrighty, and if that’s the case, I’ll go get some dessert at Starbucks while you take one last ride on the train.

Cam: Sounds good to me!!!

Johnny 5: Mind if I come along???!!!!

Troy: Not at all, let’s go!!!!

Johnny 5: ALRIGHT!!!!

Herbie: Beep, Beep!!!!

Herbie backs into a space at the bottom of the staircase at Main Street Station as Troy and Johnny 5 head off for Starbucks to get dessert, and Cam goes into the station’s break room to change back into his normal clothes.
Back in the underwater Kingdom, Wendy looks at the time, and sees that she has to leave just as her nails finish drying.

Wendy: Perfect!!!!  It’s 11:55, my nails are dry, and it’s time for me to go!!!!!  Thank you so much for this!!!!

Princess Erika: Hey, glad you could hang out with us!!!!

Carla: Please be sure to call me once you arrive at the hotel!!!

Wendy: I will, I promise!!!!

Chelia: You and Cam have fun, okay?

Wendy: We will, I promise!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: And if you try any funny business, I’m kicking your little royal butt!!!!

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK* AGAIN, IT WON’T BE LIKE THAT!!!!!  You know I’m too shy to go that far, and besides Carla would kill me!!!!

Sarah: Awwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!  You’re so cute when it comes to your crush on Cam!!!!!

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHTER PINK* AGAIN, NOT SO LOUD!!!!!
However, I will tell you this, but you all must promise me NEVER TO TELL ANYONE THAT I SAID THIS ABOUT HIM!!!!
I think he's REALLY CUTE, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE'S BLUSHING BECAUSE OF HOW SHY HE IS!!!!!!  HE IS JUST THE CUTEST THING WHEN HE'S SHY AND TIMID, AND IT MAKES ME FALL FOR HIM EVEN MORE!!!!  BUT ALL OF YOU PLEASE; DON'T TELL ANYONE I SAID THIS!!!!!

Princess Mackenzie: That's what made me fall for him in the first place!!!!  *Giggles*

Wendy: I know, he's just such an adorable little cutie when he's shy!!!!! *Giggles*
Anyways, I’m heading out girls!!!!  You have a good night, and sweet dreams!!!!

All Girls: GOOD NIGHT WENDY!!!!!  SAFE TRAVELS HOME!!!!

Wendy then gets out her teleportation crystal, and teleports out of the underwater kingdom.
Meanwhile, after changing back into his normal clothes Cam walks out of the station’s break room, and makes his way out to the station platform just in time as Wendy teleports her way back to Main Street Station.

Wendy: HEY CAM!!!!

Cam: Hey Princess!!!!  How was hanging out with the girls????!!!!!

Wendy: It was awesome!!!!!  We all talked, we ate A LOT of sweets, I got my nails done, and we all had so much fun!!!!!  What have you been up to?

Cam: Took Number #5 for a good spin!!!!  She ran great when I fired and ran her but this last trip she gave Eric Heffernan a run for his money.

Eric Heffernan: YEP!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Jason: The firing valve got clocked, and we lost our fire while coming into the station!!!!

Eric Heffernan: The Maintenance OEs had to come by to clean it out!!!!!

Jason: Now we’re just waiting for pressure to build back up!!!!!

Cam: She’s a 115-Year-Old Machine from 1902, so what do you expect?????!!!!!!

Eric Heffernan: GOOD POINT!!!!!! LOL!!!!

Jason: Actually she’s ONLY 12-years-old, but operates as if it were 100-years-old!!!!

Cam: I keep forgetting, it’s not this engine that was built in 1902 by Baldwin, but her counter part from my world.  However the design diagrams date back to 1875 both here and in the real world, so this engine’s old anyway you put it.

Eric Heffernan: VERY TRUE!!!!! LOL!!!!

Wendy: It’s still very beautiful, and she's my favorite one too!!!! ☺

Cam: I see you brought Happy the cat with you!!!!

Wendy: I sure did!!!!  He’s just so cute; I just had to show him to all the other girls!!!!!
He’s helping me keep warm too, though I’m still a little cold…………

Cam: You're back and shoulders are practically fully exposed in that dress, so let me help you with that……………

Cam takes off his jacket, and gently places it on Wendy's shoulders to cover her back and keep her warm.

Cam: There you go!!!!!

Wendy: AWWWWWWWW, THANK YOU SO MUCH CAM!!!!!  That’s very sweet of you!!!!

Wendy gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek, but then worries about him………

Wendy: But what about you Cam?

Cam: Not to worry!

Cam opens up his item storage, selects a spare jacket, and puts it on.

Cam: Problem solved!!!!  Plus we’ve got the heat from the engine to keep us warm!!!!

Wendy: Yeah, we sure do!!!!

Cam and Wendy then hop aboard, and get to the VERY FRONT of the VERY FIRST train car right behind the locomotive before they get joined by their friends, Nick, Scott, Sef and his wife Crystal, Greg and his dog Giligan and his wife, Todd, Natasha, Sam, Jacob Lamp, Vereen and her son Dylan, Nik and his daughter Nova, Bill Aardvark, Evan Burt, his friend Josh, Aaron and Alex Medina, Will and his girlfriend Tracie.

Nick: Hey, mind if I join you?

Scott: Hey, good to see you again!!!!

Todd: Hey Cam, Hey Wendy!!!!

Vereen: How are you 2!!!!!

Nik: Good to see you guys!!!!

Jay: IT'S ICE CREAM TIME!!!!

Natasha: Time to enjoy some steam!!!!

Sam: Hey, what’s up you guys???!!!!

Sef: Great to see you guys again!!!

Evan: Let’s just hope Kalvin, doesn’t crash the party!!!!

Will: THAT WOULD SUCK!!!!

Tracie: THE DIRTY LITTLE RAT!!!!

Cam: OH HEY, MR. & MRS. HOTTUB!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Will: CAM???????!!!!!!

Wendy: What do you mean by that Cam?

Cam: LONG STORY!!!! LOL!!!!

Will: CAM, SHUT UP!!!!!

Aaron: I know what you mean in the Kalvin department!!!!

Cam: Anyways, come on and join us!!!!

Wendy: Yeah, and it’s so good to see ya!!!!

Cam: And Evan, I think you just jinxed it because here comes Kalvin now!!!!

Kalvin: HEY YOU GUYS, DO YOU MIND IF I JOIN YOU?????!!!!!

Wendy just politely giggles as the rest of the gang get pissed and yell at Kalvin.

Everybody: GO HOME KALVIN!!!!!

Then they hear another familiar voice.

Whistle Boy: YOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU WHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO?????!!!!!!

Will: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

Jay: OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Cam: IT'S WHISTLE BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eric Heffernan: SORRY KALVIN, AND BRANDON YOU GUYS KNOW THE RULES!!!!!  HAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Conductor Alan: Yep!!!!!!  As long as both their Royal Highnesses King Camaro Von Ludwig, and Princess Wendy Marvell are on board their favorite train, they get first choice on seating, and you cannot be in the same train car as them!!!!!

Kalvin: GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!

Whistle Boy: OKAY!!!!!

Scott: THOSE GUYS ARE JUST SOOOOOOOOO ANNOYING!!!!!!!

Nick: I don’t know how people can tolerate them!!!!

Greg: Neither can I!!!!!

Cam: Just hope The Wizard doesn't join us!!!!

Scott: DON'T JYNX IT CAM!!!!

Wendy: Now, to make so more room for you guys…………

Wendy gets out of her seat, lifts up her frilly skirt, and gently sits on Cam’s lap.

Wendy: There you go!!!!  Now there’s more room for the rest of you guys.

Evan: AWESOME, THANKS YOUR HIGHNESS!!!!  I ALSO LOVE THE CAT!!!!

Wendy: Thank you!!!!  His name is Happy, and isn’t he cute???!!!!

Kalvin overhears the conversation from the VERY FRONT of the second train car and buds in.

Kalvin: HE SURE IS!!!!!!

Whistle Boy: HEY, WHAT ABOUT CHUUBY???????!!!!!!

CAM: KALVIN AND WHISTLE BOY, WE WEREN’T TALKING TO YOU GUYS!!!!!!!

Kalvin: YEAH, FINE WHATEVER ASSHOLE!!!!!

Sam: I AM SOOOOOOO GLAD THEY ARE IN THE SECOND CAR AND NOT THIS ONE!!!!!

Will: ME TOO!!!!!

Tracie: THEY TRIED TO CRASH OUR HOTTUB PARTY ALONG WITH 2 OLD MEN, THOSE DIRTY RATS!!!!!

Jason: Well pressure is back at full, and it’s 12:00 O-Clock Midnight…………

Eric Heffernan: YEP, SO TIME TO GO!!!!

Conductor Justin: ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!!

Conductor Alan: WELCOME ABOARD THE GRAND BAY LAKE RAILROAD EVERYONE!!!!  FOR YOUR VERY OWN SAFETY, PLEASE STAY SEATED KEEPING ALL HANDS, ARMS, FEET, AND LEGS INSIDE THE TRAIN AT ALL TIMES!!!!  ALSO PLEASE NO EATING, OR DRINKING ANYTHING BESIDES WATER, AND NO SMOKING WHILE ON BOARD!!!!
ALSO AS A FRIENDLY REMINDER THIS WILL BE THE LAST TRIP FOR THE NIGHT KNOWN AS OUR SWEEPER TRIP, AND THAT MEANS THIS WILL BE A PICK UP TRIP ONLY!!!!  YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO DISEMBARK UNTIL WE GET BACK, WE’LL ONLY BE STOPPING AT EACH STATION TO PICK UP!!!
SO PLEASE, SIT BACK, RELAX, AND ENJOY YOUR GRAND CIRCLE TOUR AROUND THE MAGICAL CITY OF GRAND BAY LAKE!!!!!

Jason rings the bell as Eric opens the cylinder drain cocks, gives 2 VERY LOUD blasts on the whistle with a…………..

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Eases the throttle open as Jason opens the blow down valve causing vaporized water to come jetting out of the blow down nozzle between the 2 drive wheels on the left hand side of the locomotive, and Ward Kimball Number #5 and her train steam off into the night.

Cam: Now that is AWESOME!!!!!!

Will: AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Scott: MOST DEFINITELY IS!!!!!!

Eric Heffernan: HA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Eric Heffernan opens the throttle even wider and blows the whistle even louder with a………………..

WHOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Cam: You know what, there’s nothing more beautiful than an old steam train at night!!!!

Wendy: I’m actually beginning to agree!!!!!

Nick: Except maybe in the snow…………….

And low and behold it starts snowing…………………..

Greg: Well, you just jinxed it because it started snowing now!!!!

Evan: It has!!!!!

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, IT’S SOOOOOOOOO PRETTY!!!!!

Cam: IT IS!!!!!

Kalvin: HEY, IT’S SNOWING YOU GUYS!!!!!!!

Everyone: KALVIN, SHUT UP YOU!!!!!!

Kalvin: UGGGGGGGHHHH, SCREW YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Sef: He certainly knows how to be a party pooper!!!!

Natasha: Is it even possible to get rid of that pain in the ass????!!!!

Crystal: I only wish it was that simple!!!!

Sam: Whatever, he’s back there, and we’re up here, so let’s disregard anything he says.

Aaron: Best we do that!!!

Alex: Works for me!!!

Josh: I’m with you on that!!!!

Cam: Same here!!!!

Wendy: Me too!!!!

Nick: Anyways, how was your gig scott?

Scott: Rather slow with the tourism at an all time low during this time of year, but what can you do?

Nick: That sucks!!!!  At least the lower crowds makes riding the train more enjoyable.

Greg: That’s VERY TRUE!!!!

Wendy: Anyways, I LOVE this snow falling!!!!  It’s coming down pretty thick though………

Cam: If only this happened back in California?

Wendy: Does it not snow in your world Cam?

Cam: Not where I live unfortunately.  It doesn’t get cold enough for it………..

Wendy: Awwwwwww, that’s to bad!!!!  But on the other hand I could do without the cold, especially since I’m always in a mini skirt.

Nick: It’s always the best time of the year to watch the trains!!!!

Scott: I couldn’t agree with you anymore.

Meanwhile back in Main Street, Troy had just gotten his cake and hot chocolate, and was now making his way back down Main Street when he notices the snow falling.

Troy: WOW!!!!!!!  Now snow is coming down!!!!

Johnny 5: That sure is beautiful!!!!

Troy: Just imagine how beautiful it will be once we have the Holiday Celebration going on.

Johnny 5: I can hardly wait!!!!!

Troy: And remember, you and Herbie are to keep this from Princesses Wendy, and Chelia!!!!

Johnny 5: Don’t forget their Guardian Carla, or their Hand Maidens Nina, and Ayumi as well as everyone in the underwater kingdom!!!!!

Troy: They will most definitely be in for a wonderful surprise!!!!!! ☺

To Be Continued………………….

A Happily Ever After Christmas 2 Empty Re: A Happily Ever After Christmas 2

Chapter 6

Off To Las Vegas!!!!

Wasting no time, maintenance crews set to work on things behind the scenes right away.  
New fountain nozzles and LEDs are installed in the dancing fountains on Paradise Bay along with the computers getting completely reprogrammed for the new show, World Of Color Season Of Light.
Repairs on the Main Street Electrical Parade floats is thrown into high gear as the motors, LEDs, and miles of electrical wiring are replaced.  The Christmas music to play in the background of the world famous Baroque Hoedown gets programmed into the parade, and the Baroque Hoedown itself is pitched to major in order to match the same pitch as the Christmas background music.
The fireworks launch bay behind the It’s A Small World Replica Façade receives a new set of cannons, and the Nutcracker Projection Show gets programed into the Small World Façade’s computer.
Rehearsals happen non stop around the clock as Notre Dame De Royal sets to work on preparing their choirs, organist, pianist, guitarist, orchestra, and the Royal Army’s Brass quintet for Christmas Eve Mass.  At the same time Notre Dame's Pastor, Father Christopher, works hard on preparing his sermon for the mass.
The Choir for the candle light procession rehearses around the clock too; everyone behind the scenes is hard at work in preparation for the Magic Kingdom’s VERY FIRST Holiday Celebration.
And while preparations go on behind the scenes in Grand Bay Lake, Cam, and Troy wrap things up at Headquarters of Von Ludwig Gaming Corporation.
It’s Wednesday November 22nd, the day before Thanksgiving, and everyone at the office is given an off time at 12:00 O-Clock Noon to spend more time with family.

Troy: Alright Camaro, it’s 11:55, and time to wrap things up!!!!

Cam: Yep!!!!  Everyone’s going home early for Thanksgiving!!!!

Troy: Yep, and we best hit the road by 2:00 O-Clock!!!!  What time is Erika done with Cheerleading?

Cam: Like us, she was given a shorter day, Ballet is taking a temporary hiatus for the week since Sophie the instructor is on vacation visiting her family in Montreal for the weekend, and cheerleading practice I heard is only 1 hour, so she should be done by 1.

Troy: Her bag’s in the car right?

Cam: Yep!!!!  We helped her pack it last night, and loaded it into the car with our bags first thing this morning.

Troy: My car’s parked in the garage good and secure, all the windows and doors are shut, all your trains are parked in the basement and attic, the game systems are shut down, and all the doors are locked.  And to arm the alarm..................GOT IT!!!!

Cam: PERFECT!!!!

Troy: All we need to do is shut everything down here, get in the car, get some lunch to go, pick up Erika, and then head on our way to Vegas!!!!

Cam: YEP!!!!

Cam and Troy then shut down their computers, lock up the office, and head down the garage before getting in Cam’s car.
Cam then depresses the clutch, turns over the engine, and drives out of the garage.

Troy: Alright, let’s stop by the Deli order our sandwiches, and then go pick up Erika.

Cam: It’ll be a long 5 hour drive with heavy traffic in the LA area.

Troy: But once we hit highway 15, we should be good.

Cam and Troy make a quick stop at the near by deli to pick up lunch before going to near by Starbucks to pick up some drinks.
Meanwhile over at cheerleading practice, Erika and the girls wrap things up.

Erika: Alright, so it’s almost 1:00 O-clock, so lets practice the routine one more time, then call it a day!!!!

Cheerleaders: OKAY!!!!

Brooke: I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE that you are going to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving!!!!

Sarah: I KNOW, YOU ARE SOOOOOO LUCKY!!!!

Lexi: Where will you be staying at?

Erika: I think we’re staying at The Palazzo At The Venetian…………..

Annie: WOW, THAT’S AWESOME!!!!

Anna: What time do you leave?

Erika: Right after we take this routine from the top for one more time!!!!

Milly: Sounds good!!!!

As the girls get back to their routine, Cam and Troy get back in the car after picking up their lunch and drinks, and hit the road.

Troy: Alrighty Camaro, do you have the confirmation number?

Cam: Yes, it’s right here in the folder by the center console.

Troy: Perfect!!!!!  You did ask for our suite to have 2 Queen beds right???!!!!

Cam: Yep!!!!  And as usual you’ll be getting your own bed while I have to share with Erika.

Troy: LOL!!!!!!  Just pray she doesn’t eat any dairy and eggs before bed…………..

Cam: If that happens, I’m moving over to sleep on the couch!!!! LOL!!!!

Troy: I’ll call up The Palazzo At The Venetian and confirm the reservation!!!!

Cam: Sounds good!!!!  To let you know I’ve got us a reservation for Thanksgiving Dinner in Top Of The World at the Stratosphere for 7:30 tomorrow, Dinner in the Eiffel Tower at Paris along with Cirque Du Soleil’s Mystere at Treasure Island on Friday, Dinner at Bouchon on the 10th floor of the Venetian at 7:00 followed by a 30 minute night helicopter flight over the city with Papillon Helicopters on Saturday, a 6:30 p.m. look in the Shark Aquarium followed by a 7:00 O-Clock dinner at Border’s Grill in the Mandalay Bay before Cirque Du Soleil’s Michael Jackson’s 1 on Sunday, and 7:30 dinner at Lago in the Bellagio before Cirque Du Soleil’s O on Monday.

Troy: AWESOME!!!!  What should we do about dinner tonight?

Cam: To be safe lets book a 9:00 O-Clock Dinner Reservation at Trattoria Reggiano in the Venetian’s Canal Shopping Center and then do an 11:00 O-Clock ride in the Gondolas.

Troy: Sounds good!!!!  I’m ALWAYS UP for Italian food!!!

Cam: So is Erika, and so am I!!!!

Troy: What time is checkout on Tuesday?

Cam: Checkout’s at noon, but it’s best we hit the road by 11:00

Troy: Understood!!!
Also since we’ve already eaten at Planet Hollywood for dinner in Grand Bay Lake, why don’t we go to Hard Rock Cafe for lunch on Friday instead?

Cam: That works for me!!!

Troy: I’d also like to visit the Neon Museum too, if we can!!!!

Cam: And I’d LOVE to visit the Las Vegas Railroad Museum.

Troy: We should also hike in Red Rock Canyon……….

Cam: It would be neat to see the Hoover Damn………..

Troy: And we should check out the Adventure Dome as well the Gelato shop at the Bellagio………….

Cam: And Erika will WANT to do her daily practice for synchronized swimming in the pools every afternoon.

Troy: However I would also LOVE to see the Bellagio Fountains…………

Cam: And I’d like to see Sirens The Pirate Show at Treasure Island……………..

Troy: And the Volcano Eruption at the Mirage……………..

Cam: And there’s the Performance Lake at the Wynn…………

Troy: The Resort Strip Monorail……………

Cam: We can use the monorail and the hotel shuttle trams to go from A-B throughout the city rather than waste gas in our car.

Troy: Good point!!!! Looks like we’ll be in for a fun weekend in Vegas!!!!

Back at the academy, Erika and the rest of the cheerleaders finish their routine as Cam and Troy drive up to the curb outside the school close to where the girls are practicing.

Erika: Alright!!!!  Good work girls!!!!  Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!

Sarah: Same to you Erika!!!!

Brooke: Have fun in Las Vegas!!!!

Annie: Be sure to say hi to Cam and Troy for us!!!!

Erika: THANK YOU, and I will!!!!

Cam and Troy get out of the car, and open the trunk as Erika runs up to them and hugs them!!!!

Erika: HEY GUYS!!!!

Cam & Troy: Hey sweetie!!!!

Cam: How was cheerleading?

Erika: Went great!!!!  How was work???!!!!

Troy: Went pretty well!!!!

Cam: Now it’s time to hit the road!!!!

Troy: We got lunch and Starbucks waiting in the car!!!!
Your lunch and drink are on the arm rest and cup holders in the back waiting for you!!!!

Erika: AWESOME!!!!!

Cam: I’ll take your bag!!!!

Erika: Thank you so much Cam!!!!

Cam takes Erika’s cheer bag and throws it in the trunk before closing the trunk as Erika gets in the car, lifts up her cheerleading skirt, sits down, puts on her seat belt, and makes herself comfortable.

Cam: Alright!!!!

Troy: Time to hit the road for real!!!!

Cam: Yep!!!!

Cam and Troy get back in the car and set up the coordinates for The Palazzo At The Venetian on Waze via Cam’s cell phone before Cam depresses the clutch, puts the car in gear, and drives off.

Troy: Alright so driving time is expected to take close to 5 hours with busy LA traffic.

Cam: No surprise………….

Troy: It could be worse!!!!

Erika: Good thing we’re leaving now!!!!!

Cam: Well LA traffic is the perfect time for me to put this thing on adaptive cruise control and eat my lunch.

Troy: LOL!!!! Good thinking!!!!!

As expected, Cam, Troy, and Erika hit VERY HEAVY Los Angeles Traffic when leaving the area.  But after spending 2 hours in the heavy LA Traffic, Cam soon hits Highway 15, and is able to drive up to 87 Miles Per Hour.
Troy however is NOT happy about going over 80.

Troy: Okay Cam, can’t you slow down a little bit?????!!!!

Cam: Troy, the TRUCKS are going 80!!!!!  Any slower than 80 and we’ll get run over by them 18-wheelers!!!!

Erika: Hey, the faster we go, the sooner we’ll be there!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: EXACTLY!!!!  Besides this road gets VERY SCARY in the dark, so if we keep at this speed, plus a stop in Primm for a restroom break and fuel, we should be at the hotel by 7:30.

Troy: GHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!  Okay, just don’t go crashing off the road…………..

Cam: Haaaa, haaaaaa, haaaaaaa!!!!  Very funny!!!! -_-

Cam, Troy, and Erika continue on highway 15 North, and it’s not long until it gets dark outside.  Luckily they arrive in Primm/State Line, Nevada after it gets dark and stop for a quick break for the bathroom, gas, and some snacks.

Cam: Alrighty, here we are in Primm, so be on the lookout for the resorts around this area, and when you find the resorts, you find the large gas station.

Troy: I SEE BUFFALO BILL’S RESORT & CASINO………………

Erika: I SEE THE PRIMM VALLEY RESORT & CASINO…………….

Cam: THERE’S WHISKEY PETE’S, AND………….

Cam, Troy, and Erika: AAAAAHHH-HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!  THERE IT IS!!!!!!!

Cam: The world’s largest Chevron Gas Station!!!!!

Troy: PERFECT!!!!!  I could use a bit of snack!!!!

Erika: I REALLY need to use the bathroom!!!!

Cam: And we’re down to a quarter tank of fuel, so this works out perfectly!!!!!!

Cam drives the car into The World’s Largest Chevron Station just outside the Primm Valley Resort, parks the car at a gas pump, and shuts off the engine.

Troy: Alrighty, I’ll get us some more drinks and snacks if you’d like some.

Cam: Just a coke will be fine.

Erika: Same here!!!!

Troy: Awesome!!!!  I’ll go get the drinks!!!!

Erika: I’ll go use the bathroom!!!!

Cam: I’ll stay out here and refuel the car!!!!!

As Troy goes into the shop to get some drinks and snacks, and as Erika goes into use the bathroom, Cam stays outside, and sets to work on refueling the car.

Cam: UGH!!!!!  Why do bugs splatter ALL OVER the car??????!!!!!  SERIOUSLY?????!!!!!
I’m gonna need to go to a wash down first thing when we arrive!!!!!

Cam then gets out the near by squeegee and sets to work on scraping off as many of the splattered bugs as he can as Erika makes her way back out to the car.

Erika: I FEEL SOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!  MY GOD, I REALLY HAD TO PEE!!!!!

Cam: Glad to hear it!!!!  We’re about 45 miles away, so we should be at the hotel within the hour.

Erika: That’s good!!!  

Cam: I am SOOOOOOOOOO over these stupid bugs splattering all over the front of my brand new car!!!!!
Can’t they go splatter on someone else’s car??????!!!!!!!  

Some very rude tourists in a large Chevy Suburban, Ford Excurision, and Dodge Durango who stop by to refuel overhear, and give Cam some VERY NASTY comments.

Tourist: HEY, A KID LIKE YOU SHOULDN’T BE DRIVING SUCH PRETTY CAR????!!!!!!  HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO AFFORD IT ANYWAYS?????!!!!!!

Tourist: ARE YOU A LEGAL IMMIGRANT?????!!!!!  GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM?????????!!!!!!

Tourist: YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE YOU DISGUSTING PEDOPHILE!!!!!!

Cam: UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!  I am so over racist and jealous people who give me the death threats!!!!!

Erika: Hey, they don’t know that we’re siblings, and nor do they know that you and Troy are the new CEOs of a gaming corporation.

Cam: This wasn’t a problem in the passed, but it got worse once Trump became president.

Erika: Hey, I wouldn’t worry about it because they’re not worth it.  It’s their loss Cam, and they’re just jealous because we’re a well off and happy close family.

Cam: You’re right.  Most people wouldn’t do that if they were happy with themselves.

Troy then exits the store with the drinks and snacks.

Troy: I got us some fresh fruit, sun chips, and cokes.

Cam: Awesome, thanks!!!!

Erika: Yeah, thank you so much!!!!!!

Tourist: OH NO, THERE ARE 2 OF THEM!!!!!!

Troy: Let me guess, rude and racist tourists?

Cam: Yep.  One even asked if I was a legal immigrant.

Troy: WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!  Now that makes me angry because ALL of us in our family were born here in America!!!!!  Dad was born in Chicago, Mom was born in Los Angeles, we were born in San Francisco, and Erika was born in Portland, Oregon!!!!!
Who do they think they are???????!!!!!!!

Erika: People who are unhappy with themselves and not worth our time!!!!

Tourist: I DIDN'T KNOW ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HAD TWINS!!!!

Tourist: I WONDER IF THEY STOLE THAT CAR!!!!!

Tourist: THAT POOR LITTLE GIRL IS WITH 2 DISGUSTING CREEPS!!!!

Erika: HEY, YOU GUYS SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!  THESE 2 ARE THE BEST BIG BROTHERS ANY GIRL COULD ASK FOR AND I LOVE THEM VERY MUCH!!!!!!

Troy: WE ARE NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, WE WERE ALL BORN AND RAISED HERE IN AMERICA!!!!!!!  IN FACT OUR WHOLE FAMILY WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE IN AMERICA!!!!

Cam gets in his car and gets out the paper work from the Volvo Dealership.

Cam: HERE IS ALL THE PROOF YOU NEED TO SEE THAT THIS CAR HERE IS MY CAR, I OWN THIS CAR, AND MY TWIN AND I DID NOT STEAL IT!!!!  IN FACT HE HAS A CAR IDENTICAL TO THIS, WHICH HE BOUGHT WITH HIS HARD EARNED MONEY JUST LIKE I DID!!!!
AS FOR HOW I CAN AFFORD IT IS NONE OF YOUR DAMNED BUSINESS!!!!

Troy: YOU'RE JUST RACIST UNHAPPY PEOPLE WHO CAN'T STAND SEEING PEOPLE OF A DIFFERENT RACE WHO MUCH YOUNGER THAN YOU BEING MORE WELL OFF THAN YOU!!!!!

Erika: AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT MY BROTHERS AND I HAVE BIG AGE DIFFERENCE????!!!!!  BIG DEAL!!!!!!

Tourists: UUUUUUUUHHHHH, UUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH, UUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHH, BEST WE HIT THE ROAD BEFORE THEY SUE US!!!!!!

Troy: You may wanna visit California, it's VERY diverse, the people are wonderful, and you'd be surprised by how much you could learn............

Erika: Okay, that's enough.  I'm sure they get it now!!!!

Cam: Well, our tank is full now, so let’s hit the road, and head to Vegas.

Cam finishes topping off the fuel level before he, Troy, and Erika get back in the car and drive back onto the highway.

Troy: Again, I’m just sorry we had to deal with nasty people in big trucks!!!!

Erika: They were BIG SUVS actually!!!!!

Cam: A Suburban, Ford Excursion, and Dodge Durango……………

Troy: OH, those vehicles are crap, break down A LOT, get terrible fuel mileage, and are just WAAAAAAAAAYYYYY too big!!!!!
However, if they’re on their way to Vegas like we are, I wouldn’t worry too much about em.  

Erika: Yeah, they’re not used to diversity, or siblings with a large age difference.  You 2 mean everything to me, and I love you both very much!!!!  I know you 2 wouldn’t do anything bad.

Cam: And nor would we ever want to do anything bad because we have no reason.

Troy: People who are unhappy just feel the need to put others down because they see President Trump do it and get away with it.

Erika: Perverts like him make me REALLY angry.

Cam: Same here!!!!!

Erika: I'm just glad we gave them a piece of our minds!!!!!

Troy: Me too!!!!  

Cam: Anyways, Las Vegas is now only 25 miles away, so we’re doing VERY WELL!!!!!

Troy: CAM; TAKE IT EASY!!!!!  YOU’RE GOING 102 MILES AN HOUR THERE!!!!!!

Cam: SHIT, AND IT’S NOW A 55 MILE AN HOUR ZONE!!!!!!!

Cam takes his foot off the throttle and slows the car down to 75 miles an hour.
Soon Cam, Troy and Erika arrive on the main freeway just outside of Downtown Las Vegas as they pass MacCrarran International Airport.

Troy: There’s the Airport!!!!!

Erika: And if that’s the Airport then our exit must be coming up soon!!!!

Cam: AHHHH-HAAAAAA!!!!  There it is!!!!

Cam soon exits off the highway, and upon arrival in Downtown Las Vegas, Troy’s, Erika’s, and his jaw all hit the floor the moment they see the Las Vegas Strip!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Erika: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Cam & Troy: FLYIN, FUCKEN, SHIT!!!!!

Erika: OH MY GOD!!!!!!

The ENTIRE Las Vegas Strip is beautifully decorated in garlands, ribbons, wreathes, colorful lights, Christmas bells, and Christmas Trees.

Cam: If Las Vegas wasn’t colorfully lit before……………………

Troy: It’s most DEFINITELY colorfully now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Erika: It’s BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika: WE MOST DEFINITELY NEED TO GET GRAND BAY LAKE TO LOOK LIKE THIS!!!!!!

Cam: Go a head get out your phones, and fire away!!!!!  We’ll need all the pictures we can get!!!!!

Troy: ON IT!!!!

Erika: YOU’RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT!!!!

Wasting no time, Troy and Erika get out their phones and fire away a bunch of pictures of ALL the hotels, resorts, and restaurants along the strip.

Cam: Now before we go to the hotel, we’re going to the Wash Down because more bugs splattered all over the car.

Troy: I hate it when that happens!!!!

Erika: No hurry; I can look at this FOREVER!!!!!

Cam: There’s a Tommy Express Car Wash that’s open until 8:00 that’s right off the strip!!!!

Troy: Ultra Clean Express Car Wash!!!!  That’s just 5 minutes from here!!!!

Erika: OH MY GOSH, THERE’S THE ICE SKATING RINK!!!!!
Good thing I brought my beautiful new blue figure skating costume!!!!

Cam: Unfortunately, Troy and I don’t skate!!!!

Troy: Never knew how!!!!!

Erika: OH COME ON, PLEASE????!!!!!!  I CAN SHOW YOU!!!!!  IT’S NOT THAT HARD!!!!!

Troy: Easy for you to say!!!!  You’re flexible as heck!!!!

Cam: Almost like a pretzel since you do synchronized swimming, gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, cheerleading, diving, and ballet so it’s no surprise that figure skating comes naturally to you!!!!

Troy: Where as Cam and I don’t really have a prayer!!!!!

Cam: Though we can do both the center and side splits on both legs and we can tumble no problem in martial arts, but that's for use in combat!!!!

Erika: You 2 don’t have to figure skate!!!!  I can teach you just the basics!!!!  COME ON!!!!  It’ll be fun!!!!!

Cam: Alright, I’ll give it a try!!!!

Troy: Same here!!!!  I mean, what do we have to lose?

Cam: And we’re not doing anything in particular tomorrow night other than Thanksgiving dinner at the Stratosphere!!!!

Troy: Tomorrow is do whatever it is we want, so we can go sightseeing around the strip, watch the free shows, and go skating before and after Thanksgiving dinner.

Erika: YAY!!!!!  I promise, it’s SOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!

Cam: You’ll no doubt be laughing at us when we fall time after time after time!!!!

Erika: *Giggles* Don’t worry, I promise to help you as much as I can!!!!

Troy: Well, here’s the car wash, so let’s clean up the car, and then head to our hotel!!!!

Cam then stops at the V.I.P Express lane, scans his Tommy Express App, and proceeds straight to the car wash tunnel.
He then drives the car straight onto the conveyer belt, shifts the transmission into neutral, shuts off the engine, holds the engine start knob for 4 seconds, and folds in the mirrors.
The car then rolls right into the wash tunnel, gets doused with foamy soap and triple foam wax, gets scrubbed by the large side brushes, gets the bugs scraped off by the top brushes, blasted by the water nozzles, buffed by the mitter curtains, sprayed with Rain-X, rinsed off by the water arches, dried by the powerful blowers, gets the wheels and tires shined, and lastly buffed by the buff & dry brushes.
At last the car was fully cleaned of all the bugs.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!!  NOW THAT IS MUCH BETTER!!!!!

Troy: And now we can go to the hotel!!!!

Erika: AWESOME!!!!!

Cam then drives the car back onto the Las Vegas Strip, turns into the VERY LONG and beautiful entrance for The Palazzo At The Venetian, and passes a large BEAUTIFULLY lit LED Christmas Tree.

Cam: WOW!!!!!  THIS IS AMAZING!!!!

Troy: And we’ve stayed at almost EVERY SINGLE hotel and resort here on the strip………….

Erika: Except for this one!!!!!

Cam: And this is said to be the best of them ALL!!!!

Cam then drives the car up to the hotel’s grand entrance, and he along with Troy and Erika are greeted warmly by Valet Parking.

Valet Parking Attendant: Good evening Sir, and Welcome to The Palazzo At The Venetian!!!!!  What name is the reservation under Sir?

Cam: Hello, and thank you!!!!  The reservation’s under Von Ludwig.

Valet Parking Attendant: Alright!!!!  We’ll help you with your bags, and escort you to the front desk right away.  If you wouldn’t mind leaving a key to your vehicle inside the car, Sir?

Cam: Not a problem!!!!

Cam opens up the glove box, gets out the valet parking key and leaves it on the center console.

Cam: Alrighty, the valet parking key is on the center console!!!!  This car is brand new and starts up rather unusual with the start knob being by the gearshift.

Valet Parking Attendant: Not a problem sir!!!  We see A LOT of newer Volvos come in all the time, so we’re pretty familiar with the set up!!!

Cam: Awesome!!!  Well, thank you so much!!!!

Valet Parking Attendant: My pleasure sir, now enjoy your stay here with us!!!!

Cam: Thank you very much!!!!

Valet Parking then sets to work at opening up the car doors, and helping Cam, Troy, and Erika out of the car as a bellman walks over.

Bellman: Good evening, Masters, and Miss Von Ludwig, mind if I take your bags?

Erika: That would be great, thank you so much!!!!

Bellman: My pleasure mam!!!!

The bellman then takes the bags out of the car, and puts them on his luggage cart before escorting Cam, Troy, and Erika into the hotel.

Bellman: Follow me, right this way!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika: THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!

Upon entry into the hotel, Cam, Troy, and Erika are COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY!!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Erika: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Erika: IT’S BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Troy: THAT CHRISTMAS TREE IS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!

Cam: HECK, THAT LARGE CHRISTMAS TREE IS ON TOP OF A LARGE SCALE TRAIN LAYOUT!!!!!!

And it was!!!!  The massive 15 foot tall Christmas Tree was sitting on top of a large model village with beautifully lit building and beautiful LGB Christmas Trains circling the village and tree.

Cam: WE’VE GOT TO DO THIS IN ALL THE HOTELS AND MALLS IN GRAND BAY LAKE!!!!

Troy: MOST DEFINITELY!!!!!

Erika: I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS!!!!!

The ENTIRE inside of the hotel lobby is beautifully decorated in garlands, ribbons, wreathes, bells, and Christmas lights.

Bellman: It sure is something!!!!  Would this be your first time to Las Vegas?

Cam: No, we’ve been here A LOT, but never stayed at this actual hotel though.

Troy: However this is our first time during the Holiday Season.

Erika: And MY GOSH!!!!  IT’S AMAZING!!!!!

Bellman: WONDERFUL!!!!  You will LOVE what we do during the holidays!!!!
Now just up ahead at the front desk is Blister, she will help you check in.

Cam: Thank you very much!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then walk up to the front desk and check in with Blister.

Blister: Hello, and Welcome to The Palazzo At The Venetian!!!!  How may I help you?

Cam: Hello, thank you very much!!!!  The reservation is under Von Ludwig.

Blister: Wonderful, let me have a look……………….and I there’s the name!!!!  I have you confirmed for a suite with 2 queens on one of the higher floors.  Is that correct?

Troy: Yes it is!!!!

Blister: Very well, may I see one of your IDs and a credit card?

Cam: No problem!!!!

Cam then hands Blister his ID and Credit card, and everything gets set up.

Blister: Alright, you guys are in room number 52-926, so just below the Penthouse level!!!

Erika: COOL!!!!!

Blister: I know; you have a SPECTACULAR view!!!!

Troy: That’s great!!!!

Blister: Before you go, may we interest you gentlemen in a glass of champagne, and Sparkling Cider for the young lady?

Cam: Yes please!!!!

Troy: That would be wonderful!!!!

Erika: Thank you so much!!!!

Blister: Our pleasure!!!!  Here are your room keys, here’s your ID and credit card, and the bellman will assist you to your room!!!!

Cam: Thank you so much Mam!!!

Blister: You’re very welcome Sir!!!  Have a wonderful stay with us!!!

Troy: Thank you so much!!!!

Bellman: Follow me right this way you guys!!!!

As Cam, Troy, and Erika leave the front desk they pass by some of the atrium’s most beautifully sculpted fountains and waterfalls before making their way through one of the casinos, and over to a beautiful set of elevators.

Bellman: Alrigth, it’s floor 52 right???!!!!

Cam: That’s right!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then follow the bellman into the elevator before he selects their assigned floor.

Troy: 52 FLOORS????!!!!!

Erika: I don’t think I’d ever stayed this high in a hotel before????!!!!!

Cam: None of us have!!!!!

Bellman: And this is the tallest hotel in not only Las Vegas, but the entire state of Nevada?

Cam, Troy, & Erika: WOW!!!!!!

Bellman: Pretty amazing!!!!  We also have the largest standard room of any hotel in the United States, at almost a whopping 800 square feet.

Cam, Troy, & Erika: WOW!!!!!!!!

Troy: That’s larger than most junior suites!!!!!

Bellman: They’re expensive but worth every penny!!!!

Erika: Everything in this hotel looks amazing, and I can’t get over the beautiful Christmas decoration!!!!

Bellman: This is definitely the best time of the year here!!!!

The elevator finally reaches floor 52.

Bellman: And here we are!!!!

The elevator doors open and the bellman leads Cam, Troy, and Erika down the various corridors until finally arriving at Suite number #52-926.

Bellman: And here we are!!!!

The bellman then opens the door to the hotel room…………..

Bellman: And this is one of our finest suites you guys…………….

When Cam, Troy, and Erika enter their suite, they cannot believe their eyes.
The entire suite is beautifully decorated in beautiful garlands, ribbons, wreathes, and Christmas bells.

Cam: WOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

Troy: IS THAT ROOM DIVIDER MADE OUT OF BLACK ITALIAN MARBLE?????!!!!!

Bellman: It sure is!!!!!!

Erika runs over to the suite’s massive window, and sits on the ledge looking out at the Las Vegas Strip.

Erika: OH MY GOD, THIS VIEW IS AMAZING!!!!!!!

Bellman: This suite can sleep up to 6 people since you have 2 queen beds, and one queen pull out sofa.

Cam: That’s AMAZING!!!!!  I ALSO LOVE the 2 T.V.s!!!!!!!!

Troy: Yeah, one in the living room area, and one in the bedroom area!!!!!!

Bellman: There is a third T.V. believe it or not…………

Cam: Oh?

Cam then enters the bathroom and finds the third t.v.

Cam: WOAH!!!!!!  THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!

Troy: WHAT IS IT?????!!!!!

Cam: THE THIRD T.V. IS JUST ABOVE THE DUAL SINK VANITY!!!!!!

Troy: AWESOME, YOU CAN BE WATCHING T.V. WHILE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL GLASS ENCLOSED SHOWER!!!!!  AND WOW, THE DUAL SINK VANITY’S COUNTER TOP IS MADE MORE OF THE BEAUTIFUL BLACK ITALIAN MARBLE!!!!!!

Cam: And just across the shower is a cute little make-up vanity for Erika!!!!!

Erika: WAIT, WHAT?????!!!!!!

Erika then makes a mad dash over to the bathroom and sees everything.

Erika: OH MY GOSH COOL!!!!!  AND LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL TUB!!!!!!  I CAN WATCH T.V. WHILE ENJOYING A BUBBLE BATH!!!!!!!  HOW COOL IS THAT?????!!!!!!!

Troy: AND THANK GOD IT’S GOT THE SEPARATE WATER CLOSET!!!!!

Cam: And there’s a phone in there!!!! LOL!!!!!!

Bellman: That phone ALWAYS comes in handy!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: And Troy since you’ve already got your own bed, I take it you want your own sink too????!!!!!

Troy: You know me well!!!!! LOL!!!!

Erika: I promise not to take up too much space Cam!!!!  ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I’VE GOT MY OWN MAKE UP VANITY!!!!!!!

Cam: Hey, I don’t mind sharing with you, now that you’ve got that vanity!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Bellman: Let me set up your bags in the closet.

Troy: Thank you!!!!!

The bellman then gets the suitcases set up on luggage racks in the closet, while Erika gets her cheer bag, and places it next to the couch.  She then gets out her favorite dolphin plushie, and places it on her bed right next to the divider by the sunk-in living room.

Erika: Cam and I will take this bed, if that’s okay with you?

Cam: Sure, I don’t mind!!!!

Troy: Hey, I don’t mind either!!!!  I’m open to taking either bed!!!!

Cam: You’ll get the side with the view!!!!!

Erika: Thank you so much Cam!!!!

Erika then gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek before she sits back down on the window’s ledge and enjoys more of the view.

Bellman: Well it seems you’re all happily situated, is there anything else I can do?

Erika: Yes, I don’t see any strings or chords to open and close the window curtains………….

Bellman: Oh, just press one of these buttons by one of the bed’s night stands.

The bellman then pushes a button and the curtains and blinds by the large beautiful window close.

Erika: OH MY GOSH, THAT IS SOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!

Bellman: Pretty awesome!!!!

The bellman then pushes the button again and reopens the curtains and blinds.

Bellman: Also to let you know you have both a mini-bar fridge by the t.v. in the bedroom area, and you have a regular empty fridge down in the sunk-in living room area.

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!

Troy: That is good to know!!!!  We made the mistake of just opening up the mini-bar fridge at the Bellagio, and got billed $25 dollars for a soda we didn’t even touch!!!!!

Cam: We’re not making that mistake again!!! LOL!!!!

Erika: So if we want to use a fridge, we use the one down here in the living room, and NOT in the bedroom!!!!

Bellman: That’s correct!!!!  LOL!!!!

Cam: Well, thank you so very much for your help!!!!

Troy: We really appreciate it!!!!

Bellman: My pleasure!!!!  Enjoy your stay here with us!!!!

Cam: Thank you, we will, and before you go…………

Cam then gives the bellman a $20 dollar tip before he leaves.

Cam: This is for our gratitude in helping us out.

Bellman: Thank you very much sir!!!  Once again, enjoy your stay with us, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Erika: Thank you, you as well!!!!

The bellman then takes his leave as Cam, Troy, and Erika set to work at unpacking their stuff.

Troy: WOW!!!!!  We are most DEFINITELY in for a good weekend here!!!!!

Cam: 6 LONG nights we’re spending here, but this is the right place to spend em!!!!!

Erika: OH MY GOSH, THE SWIMMING POOLS HERE I HEARD ARE GORGEOUS!!!!!  

Cam: And they’re heated too!!!!

Erika: Good thing I brought my top 5 favorite swimsuits to practice my synchronized swimming routines in!!!!!

Erika then gets out her favorite blue 3-piece skirted tankini swimsuit with pink and white flowers, as well as her second favorite green 3-piece skirted tankini swimsuit with red and yellow flowers, her new favorite purple skirted one piece swimsuit with gorgeous silver sparkles, Dark Navy Blue One Piece Swimsuit, and a light blue one piece swimsuit with beautiful light blue, dark blue, green, and aqua patterns.

Cam: Would you like me to hang these up for you in the closet?

Erika: YES PLEASE, AND THIS TOO…………..

Erika then hands Cam her beautiful Royal Blue Ice Figure Skating dress with gorgeous micro mini skirt, long sleeves, and turtleneck.

Cam: WOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!  THIS IS GORGEOUS!!!!!  Are you sure you wanna be wearing this at the rink on the strip????!!!!!!

Erika: I KNOW RIGHT, AND YES!!!!!  I just got it for this year’s competition, so I wanna get it broken in at the rink tomorrow!!!!

Cam: Okay………….well you’ve chosen something VERY NICE to wear for Thanksgiving because this thing is STUNNING!!!!!!

Erika: I KNOW!!!!!  That’s another reason why I wanna wear it!!!! *Giggles*

Cam then carefully hangs up Erika’s beautiful ice figure skating dress and swimsuits in the closet before hanging up his and Troy’s nice Tommy Bahama Button up shirts, Navy Blazers, dress pants, dress shirts, dress sweaters, and ties.

Troy: Thanks Cam!!!!

Cam: No problem Troy!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then receive a call on Cam’s Ipad, and it’s from Wendy.

Cam: OH, Wendy’s calling us!!!!

Troy: Better answer that!!!!

Cam: ON IT!!!!

Cam answers the call immediately.

Wendy: HEY CAM!!!!!  HOW ARE YOU?????!!!!!!

Cam: I’M GREAT, HOW ARE YOU???!!!!!!

Wendy: I’M WONDERFUL AS ARE CARLA, CHELIA, NINA, AND AYUMI!!!!

Troy: THAT’S GREAT!!!!

Chelia: HEY TROY!!!!!

Erika: HEY GIRLS!!!!!

Ayumi & Nina: HEY ERIKA!!!!!

Carla: You guys seem like you’re in a really fancy room?  Are you guys on vacation?

Cam: Sorta!!!!

Troy: Our parents went over seas on business…………..

Erika: AGAIN!!!!!

Cam: And won’t be back in time for Thanksgiving, which is an American Holiday celebrated in my world……………

Troy: But they’re spending it in Florida, which is on the opposite side of the continent……………..

Erika: So, we decided to spend the holiday here in Las Vegas, Nevada, which is about a 5 hour drive from our home, so it’s not too bad.

Cam: We’re staying at The Palazzo At The Venetian, which is literally in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.

Troy: And we’re on the 52nd floor, which is the second highest floor just below the top floor since that’s all penthouse suites…………..

Cam: This is said to be not only the tallest hotel in all of Las Vegas, but in the ENTIRE state of Nevada.

Erika: And here’s the view!!!!

Erika takes the Ipad and shows Wendy and the girls the stunning view of the resort strip.

Wendy: WOW!!!!!!!!!  THAT VIEW IS AMAZING!!!!!!

Chelia: THAT LOOKS MUCH LIKE THE RESORT STRIP HERE!!!!!

Carla: IT LOOKS MUCH BIGGER THAN THAT!!!!!

Cam: OH, IT IS!!!!!  The entire Las Vegas Strip is I’d say 10 times bigger than Grand Bay Lake’s Resort Strip.

Nina: Now that I see it more carefully, it looks MUCH bigger!!!!!

Ayumi: SO MANY LIGHTS!!!!

Troy: Las Vegas is known for it’s beautiful NEON and LED lights.

Erika: And just across the way is the Las Vegas Eiffel Tower!!!!  Though it’s only half the size of the original Eiffel Tower in Paris, but it’s still beautiful!!!!!

Chelia: It looks beautiful!!!!!

Wendy: I REALLY WISH WE COULD VISIT YOUR WORLD!!!!  IT LOOKS SO AMAZING!!!!

Cam: It is, but………….

Troy: We had a run in with some awful tourists while we stopped at petrol station to refuel.

Erika: They said mean and awful things to Cam and Troy because they saw me with them………

Troy: And they saw him driving his new car, which is the all new state of the art 2019 Volvo V-60 Cross Country, which is a COMPLETELY new body design……………

Carla: That’s too bad, I’m sorry.  What kind of things did they say?

Cam: They asked me if I was a legal immigrant because our dad is half Brazilian, they then asked how on earth was a kid like me able to afford the kind of car I drive, and a woman called me a pedophile because I was with Erika…………….

Troy: The thing is Cam and I are 23, and Erika just turned 12, so the age difference between us and her is something that REALLY bothers some people………………….

Erika: IT REALLY MAKES ME ANGRY!!!!  CAM AND TROY MAYBE MANY YEARS OLDER THAN ME, AND MUCH BIGGER THAN ME, BUT WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO HURT ME!!!!!

Troy: It gets worse because when I show up, they think Cam and I stole the car because we're young twins of a mixed race!!!!!

Erika: They then say "That poor little girl is with those creeps!!!"  Then I snap and we all take turns at giving them a piece of our minds!!!!

Carla: I will admit, I wasn’t too fond of the age difference between them and Wendy and Chelia, but I now know them well enough to know they’d never do anything wrong.

Cam: They’re unhappy racist supporters of our no good president Donald Trump……………..

Troy: It wasn’t a problem when we had Obama as our president from 2008 to last year, but now getting verbally attacked is starting to become a common occurrence.

Wendy: Hey, you guys are better than that, and those jerks are just jealous because you are such wonderful people.

Chelia: Yeah, we love you guys very much, and know you wouldn’t do anything to hurt us.

Carla: It’s really sad that there are such mean people like that in your world………….

Cam: Which kind of worries me for when Troy and I do succeed in bringing you girls to our world.  If they fret about Erika being our younger sister……………how would they react if we were with you girls being not related to us, but just our friends?

Troy: Hopefully we will have a new president by then, I can’t stand the numb skull that we have in office now!!!!

Erika: Neither can I…………….

Cam: And what’s Ironic is, all of us were born here in the US.  Troy and I were born in San Francisco, California, Erika was born in Portland, Oregon, our dad was born in Chicago, Illinois, and our mom was born in Los Angeles, California.  There for not one of us is an immigrant.

Carla: Some people are just not properly educated, have no manners, and weren’t raised to the high standards that we come from.

Troy: You couldn’t have hit the nail on the head any better.

Wendy: Don’t worry Cam, I’m sure everything will be okay.  Don’t take what those meanies said seriously, okay?  You’re my best friend and nothing will change that.

Ayumi: Yeah, and if any jerks give you any trouble, we’ll beat em up!!!!

Cam: LOL!!!!  That sounds like a good plan!!!!!

Wendy: Anyways, we wanted to call you to see what you were up to, and it seems you guys are having a good time, minus the little hiccup.

Troy: Yes, our arrival here couldn’t have been anymore different from the run-in we had at the refueling station.

Erika: People have been nothing but wonderful to us here!!!!

Chelia: THAT’S GREAT; I’M SO GLAD!!!!!!

Wendy: So Cam, you promised you’d come back to visit on my 13th birthday right?

Cam: Of course!!!!  Our word is our word, and we keep our word!!!!!  We have Friday December 8th booked down in capital letters.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, YOU REMEMBERED??????!!!!!!!!!!

Cam: Of course!!!!!!!  You’re very special to us!!!!!

Troy: Yeah, you girls are like family to us, and we can never miss something important like a birthday.

Erika: ESPECIALLY the BIG 13, since you’re becoming a teenager and soon on your way to becoming an adult.

A few tears pour down Wendy’s face.  Being told that she’s part of Cam’s, Troy’s, and Erika’s family really make her feel special and important.

Wendy: AWWWWWWWWWWW, YOU GUYS ARE SO SWEET!!!!!

Carla: You 3 have been nothing but wonderful to us, and we can’t be anymore grateful for your friendship.

Cam: Of course!!!!  You’ve been nothing but kind to us, and we're grateful for your friendship as well.

Chelia: Well we’re gonna let you go now!!!!

Wendy: Johnny 5 got us tickets to see Siegfried & Roy!!!!!  We’re so excited to see Herbie’s new vanishing act!!!!!

Nina: We’ve wanted to see that show for such a long time!!!!!

Ayumi: And this really gives us a good chance to finally see it!!!!!

Carla: Was never a fan of it due to supposed animal cruelty, but now that the use of animals is slowly being phased out, I’m willing to give it a fair chance.

Wendy: Yeah same here!!!!

Cam: That’s great!!!!  You girls have fun!!!!

Wendy: Thanks, you too!!!!!

Troy: We’re gonna head down to the lobby and check out the rest of this AMAZING hotel!!!!

Erika: And then we'll check out the shops and eat!!!!

Chelia: Awesome!!!!!  You guys have a good night!!!!

Cam: We will you too!!!!!

Wendy: Thank you so much!!!!  I hope to see ya soon!!!!!

Wendy then blows a kiss before ending the call.

Erika: It’s wonderful to hear from them.

Cam: Wendy’s a very special girl.

Troy: We must make it a top priority to give them a holiday celebration they will always remember.

Erika: Anything good we see here, we note it down, and take it to Grand Bay Lake with us.

Cam: Most definitely!!!!



To Be Continued…………………

Chapter 7

Exploring The Palazzo & Venetian!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika leave their suite and make their way down to the lobby.

Erika: Can we check out the pools????!!!!!  I understand they’re VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Troy: I may not be as good as Johnny 5 when it comes to gambling, but I’d LOVE to check out the casinos!!!!

Cam: I’d REALLY LOVE to check out the Grand Canal Shopping Center!!!!!  But hey, our reservation at Trattoria Reggiano isn’t until 9:00, so we’ve got enough time to check out what we want.
However we must look over EVERY LAST DETAIL when it comes to Christmas Décor!!!!!

Troy & Erika: RIGHT!!!!

Troy: I’ll go check out the casino, and try some of my luck!!!!

Cam: Try not to drain the poor dealers!!!! LOL!!!!

Troy: I’ll do my best LOL!!!!!!

Cam: You and I can go check out the pools sweetie!!!!

Erika: AWESOME, SOUNDS GOOD!!!!

Cam: Yep!!!!  Gambling isn’t really my thing anyway, so you Troy can have at it!!!!

Troy: Awesome, I’ll meet you guys at the Grand Canal Shopping Center close to 9:00

Cam: Awesome!!!  Sounds like a plan!!!

Once Cam, Troy, and Erika get out of the elevator, Troy branches off and heads off to the casino!!!!
Cam and Erika make their way down a few corridors, and over the pool area.
When they arrive at the pool deck, Erika’s jaw hits the ground.

Erika: OH MY GOD!!!!!  

Cam: WOW!!!!!

Erika: OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!!!!!!  

Erika then runs over the pools and just marvels at their beauty.

Erika: THESE POOLS ARE SO PRETTY!!!!!!  ONE EVEN HAS A FOUNTAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF IT!!!!!

Cam: I will admit, they are very beautiful!!!!  

Erika: This big one must be the main pool and it’s WOW!!!!!!

Cam: It’s impressive, but this must be the one that ALL the families use!!!

Cam and Erika make their way to a slightly smaller pool that’s nice and long, but in a fairly quiet corner.

Erika: This one is PERFECT for my synchronized swimming routine practices!!!!!  

Cam: Yeah, this pool is beautiful, it’s in a nice quiet corner, and it’s by a heated hut/cabana that even comes with warm towels, a plasma t.v., comfortable couches, a fridge, and hot chocolate dispenser!!!!!

Erika: COOL!!!!!!!  YOU CAN ALSO CLOSE THE CURTAINS TO MAKE EM PRIVATE IF YOU WANT!!!!

Cam: Yeah, in case you just wanna nap, or keep out the cold air while taking a relaxing break!!!!

Erika: YEAH!!!!  Or change swimsuits, which I might do since I brought a good amount!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: Pool hours are 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Erika: WOW!!!!!!  THAT’S GREAT!!!!!

Cam: I can book us a hut/cabana from 3:00-6:00 from tomorrow to Monday!!!!

Erika: THAT’S PERFECT!!!!

Cam gets out his phone, gets on the hotel’s website, and books the poolside hut/cabanas that are available.

Cam: Alright, I just booked the cabanas for tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 2:30-6:00.  

Erika: AWESOME, THANK YOU SO MUCH CAM!!!!

Erika gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek, and Cam gives her a gentle kiss on top of her head when he notices her shivering.

Erika: Sorry, I am getting kinda cold.

Cam: WOW!!!!  It just started snowing!!!!  Better not catch cold!!!!

Cam takes off his jacket and gently places it on Erika’s shoulders.

Cam: Best not to be out in the cold in just your cheerleading uniform. LOL!!!!

Erika: Very good point!!! LOL!!!  And thank you!!!!

Erika then holds Cam's hand as the 2 continue checking out the pool deck.

Erika: These pools really are very beautiful!!!!  Ours at home are gorgeous, but these are just WOW!!!!

Cam: That looks like high quality title and marble imported from Italy, so I can see the dollar signs go up!!!!  LOL!!!!

Erika: No doubt, so I’m VERY excited to begin practicing in these pools!!!!  I hope you can go swimming with me, because I need assistance with some of my routines.

Cam: I did bring some swim shorts, and a long sleeve skin guard shirt just in case, as did Troy, so we might join you for a little bit!!!

Erika: YAY!!!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Erika jumps on Cam’s back, gives him another gentle kiss on the cheek, and Cam gently carries her on his back.

Erika: I’m really starting to get cold, so lets go to the Canal Shopping Center, okay?

Cam: Sounds good to me!!!!

Cam and Erika then get back inside the hotel’s building, make their way through the casinos and over to the beautiful Grand Canal Shopping Center.
Upon arrival in the Grand Canal Shopping Center, both Cam and Erika’s jaws hit the floor.

Cam & Erika: WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!

Cam: IT FEELS JUST LIKE BEING IN ITALY!!!!!

Erika: OH MY GOSH, IT REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF WHEN WE WENT TO VENICE THIS PASSED SUMMER!!!!

Cam: It does have that feeling!!!!

Erika: I still can’t get enough of the AMAZING Christmas décor!!!!!!

Cam: Neither can I!!!!

Cam and Erika then get out their phones and fire away more pictures.
Troy on the other hand is enjoying himself enormously.  He was doing well in Black Jack, and making a winning streak!!!!

Troy: OKAY, DEAL ME!!!!!

Dealer: Up for raising the stakes????!!!!!!

Troy: YES SIR!!!!!

Dealer: ALRIGHT!!!!

Troy: LET’S KEEP THIS GOING BABY!!!!!

Back in the Canal Shopping District, Cam and Erika check out a Christmas store and are COMPLETELY blown away by everything!!!!

Erika: WOW!!!!!  THESE ORNAMENTS ARE SO CUTE!!!!!

Cam: I LOVE this Christmas Train!!!!

Erika: HEY, maybe we can buy something special here for the girls back in Grand Bay Lake!!!!

Cam: GOOD POINT!!!!

Erika: I know what I’m getting Wendy, Chelia, Carla, Nina, Ayumi, Manaka, Miuna, and Sayu!!!!!  I know they’d LOVE these ornaments!!!!!  
AWWWWWWWWWWW, I LOVE THE CUTE CHRISTMAS BEAR……………….AND THIS MUSIC BOX TOO!!!!!!  
I wish I could give Wendy both this beautiful ornament and music box………………

Cam: You can because the first night of the holiday celebration lands on her 13th Birthday!!!!!

Erika: YOU’RE RIGHT!!!!!  I’D FORGOTTEN!!!!!!  I’ll get her the ornaments for Christmas and the music box for her birthday.  As for the bear……………..I’ll still give him to her for her birthday because it’ll be extra special since it’s her first Christmas!!!! ☺

Cam: Awesome!!!!!

Erika: I just wish I had enough money to pay for all this……………….

Cam: LOL!!!!  Just put it all on the room’s tab, and I’ll take care of the bill. ☺

Erika: Are you sure?

Cam: Of course!!!!  Those girls are family, even if they’re not blood related, and live in a different world, they are still family.

Erika: You are so sweet Cam!!!!  I know it will mean so much to them!!!!
I really don’t know why those jerks at the gas station were so mean to you and Troy!!!!  You have a great big heart, and are the kindest person I know!!!  I hope you know that.

Cam gives Erika a gentle kiss on the top of her head and pays for everything she wants to buy for their friends back in Grand Bay Lake along with the Christmas train Cam really liked.

Cam: Alrighty, is there anything else you’d like to………………

Cam passes by a beautiful jewelry store and instantly falls in love with a beautiful bracelet……………….he then sees the high price tag………………….

Cam: WOW!!!!!

Erika: WHAT IS IT……………………WOAH!!!!!!!  That bracelet is soooooooo pretty!!!!

Cam: It is………………

Erika: Are you thinking of getting that for Mackenzie?

Cam: I ordered her a beautiful pearl necklace months ago, so………………

Erika: This would be for Wendy??????!!!!!!!

Cam: Yes.

Erika: Awwwwwwwwww, how sweet!!!!!

Cam: You know I’d buy you the same thing!!!!

Erika: But at that high PRICE TAG??????!!!!!!

Cam: It’s over $8K here, so no surprise given that A, those are authentic diamonds, B, we’re in an upscale shopping district in the heart of Las Vegas, and C, it’s Las Vegas…………………..

Erika: Good point.  Anyways, she wouldn’t want you to spend that much on her.  She always tells me how guilty she feels whenever you spoil her, so try not to go overboard.

Cam: I’m pretty sure I saw one VERY similar on Rodeo Drive in Grand Bay Lake…………….

Erika: Again, Cam, it’s nice to make her feel special, but it’s another to over spoil her!!!!  She may have grown up in a castle, but she’s not used to the life style, you, me, Troy, Chloe, or Mackenzie have, so it could overwhelm her.  Please try to find her something less fancy okay?
Besides, you wouldn’t want to make Mackenzie jealous, right?

Cam: You make a valid point!!!

Erika: Hey, you’ll find the right gift.  Besides you’d be surprised on how some of the most simplest of things can go a very long ways to melt a girl’s heart whether she be your girlfriend, little sister, or in Wendy’s case, your best friend who happens to be a girl besides me that is.  *Giggles*

Cam: Thanks Erika!!!!  I now have a good idea of what to get her.  You really give good advice when the time calls for it.

Erika: Thanks; I try!!!!  Besides you’re my big brother as well as my best friend, and I love you very much!!!!  You know I’d do anything for you right?

Cam: Of course, and the same goes on my end sweetie.

Erika: I know!!!!  I also know that I can’t be the only girl in your life forever, and that it’s time to allow Mackenzie to possibly become part of this family.  As hard as it is for me to accept though……………….

Cam: Hey, you’ll always be my precious little sister whether I’m single or in a relationship.  And you’ll always be the number #1 girl in my life.    
However, if I can be honest with you, Mackenzie is pushing the relationship WAY TOO FAST for my taste.  She's already rushing me into wanting to sleep in the same room with her in a hotel, and even going as far as to share a bed.  And honestly, I just don't like being rushed!!!!  Heck, I’m no where near ready to……………

Erika: Get married?

Cam: That is a VERY LONG WAYS off!!!! LOL!!!!!!  What I meant was, you know……………something you’ll probably have a strong drive to do real soon since you’re almost a teenager and started having periods, and it’s a very common act for teens and young adults to do A LOT…………….you know, the forbidden 3 letter word?

Erika: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH, you mean “THAT????!!!!!”

Cam: Yes!!!!!  I still haven’t gotten over my bad habit of nose bleeding whenever I see a beautiful girl almost naked with the exception of you since you’re my little sister of whom I cared for since you were a baby, and it’s REALLY embarrassing!!!!!
I know it drives Mackenzie nuts every time you interrupt, but I on the other hand am grateful because I’m always nervous.  My heart races out of control, and I worry that it’ll be a disaster with my nose bleeding non-stop…………..
I honestly don’t know.  I used to love Mackenzie very much, but  I sometimes question whether I made the right choice in asking her out……………..the relationship isn’t really working out as well as we have hoped.  Like you, she too can be possessive.  

Erika: Oh no!!!!

Cam: What I mean by that, she makes plans for us to do things without my consent, and sometimes she changes my plans, which I have already committed to weeks to sometimes even MONTHS in advanced for.  Such as model train events with the Del Oro Pacific Train Club, or meeting up with Mario and my other former racing buddies at California Speed Way.  Heck, I had to opt out of a model train event at the last minute, and had to lie to Mario, and call in sick on him when I promised to help him out in the pit crews.

Erika: WOW!!!!!

Cam: I know, I feel like I'm being used to an extent, however I don’t want to call it quits just yet………………….

Erika: Hey, you don’t have to rush, so just take your time!!!!  It’s okay to take things slow, and if you feel pressured, please just tell her that you feel she’s pressuring you, and I’m sure she’ll understand.  Also you need to tell her that you need your space, and that you don't like how she's planning your weekends without asking about your plans first.  I know relationships are about compromise, but it's not fair when you've planned for things long in advanced for to have to cancel them at the last minute because your girlfriend planned things for you without asking your schedule.............

Cam: Another thing is, when it's things to do over the weekend, it's with her cheerleading squad, tennis, or track and field teams, and I'm often feeling like a fish out of water given that I'm the only guy who shows up to these hang outs.

Erika: You shouldn't be afraid to tell her that.  I'm sure she'll reconsider all this if you tell her.  I mean it's kinda unfair to you, so just tell her that you don't like how she's planning your weekend without asking if you're available.  However she's still young, and relationships are full of trial and error compromises.  If you tell her how all this makes you feel, I'm sure she will rethink things over.
However, if she doesn’t accept it then she’s not meant for you, as hard as it maybe to hear, but if she really loves you, she’ll understand and wait until you’re ready, give you your space when you need it, and ask about your weekend plans before planning things out.
You did make the right choice in asking her out because you both wanted to try getting romantic.  I’m so sorry that things aren’t working out as you’d hoped, but sometimes things just don’t work out the way you want them to.  Try to talk things out, and come to an understanding.  If that doesn’t work then you’ll know she’s not for you………..
And you don’t have to worry about me, I have NO DESIRE whatsoever for that forbidden 3 letter word anytime soon.  Even if I find a guy I REALLY like, I will wait until I’m at least 21 and feel ready, and that won’t be anytime soon I promise you that!!!!

Cam: You’re a very smart girl Erika, and very well grounded, so I know I won’t have to worry about you anytime soon.

Erika: Thank you, and like you, I have VERY high standards, and won’t settle for anyone whose less than wonderful.  If he’s a badass and NOT a gentleman, then I’m not gonna give him the time of day.

Cam gives Erika a gentle kiss on the top of her head, and Erika gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Cam: My precious little sister is growing up so fast.  I wish there was a way to slow down the growing process!!!!

Erika: No way!!!!  *Giggles*  I’m kinda sick of just being cute and looking like a 10-year-old.  I instead wanna be hot, you know????!!!!!

Cam: I know where you’re coming from.  Heck when I was your age I didn’t wanna stop growing either.  I couldn’t wait to become 18, but once I hit 18, that is when I wanted to stop growing!!! LOL!!!!!  You’ll probably feel the same way!!!! LOL!!!!

Erika: Maybe!!!! *Giggles*

Cam: You may have grown up, and even though children 12 and over can wander through this hotel unsupervised without an adult, I don’t feel comfortable with you going off by yourself alone; even if we are in the best 5 star hotel in all of Las Vegas.  You never know what kinda of creeps are lurking about here.

Erika: Hey, I wouldn’t feel comfortable going off on my own here either!!!!  I’d be too scared about getting lost since this hotel is HUGE!!!!!

Cam: However, if we were at a family resort in Hawaii, or at Disneyland or the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, I wouldn’t mind you wandering off alone or with a friend, or going into the Magic Kingdoms for a few hours.

Erika: I feel the same way, but I’d get lonely on my own.  I’m surprised that you don’t mind being on your own.  I'm still gonna kill you for going to Walt Disney World alone without me and Troy this passed August. -_-

Cam: It’s actually nice and peaceful, but then again I’m more reserved and need some time to be alone.  And hey, I NEEDED that trip alone!!!!

Erika: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! -_- I STILL WISH I WOULD HAVE GONE TO DISNEY WORLD WITH YOU!!!!  YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE IT, AND THAT I LIKE SPENDING TIME WITH YOU!!!!!

Cam: *SNICKERS* I knew you respond that way!!!! LOL!!!!

Erika: CAM, YOU MEANIE!!!!  THAT IS NOT FUNNY!!!!!

Cam: Still as clingy as always!!!! LOL!!!!

Erika: I CAN'T HELP IT!!!!  YOU KNOW I CAN'T BE WITHOUT YOU FOR VERY LONG!!!! -_-

Cam: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING* LOL!!!!!

Erika: I AM SOOOOOO SITTING ON YOU ONCE WE'RE BACK IN THE HOTEL ROOM!!!!!!

Cam: NO SURPRISE THERE!!!! LOL!!!

Erika: *Giggles* Hey, you know it's because I love you right?

Cam: Of course!!!

Erika: Anyways, I’m now getting kinda hot, so I don’t need this jacket anymore.  Thanks for letting me borrow it though.

Cam: No problem!!!!  They really do heat this place up real good since it’s getting cold outside.
Now if only we had an item storage gun to put this jacket along with the rest of our Christmas presents away, so we don’t have to lug em around. LOL!!!!

Erika: I know right???  I was thinking the exact same thing!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam then sees a set of turtledove ornaments on a Christmas tree inside of yet another Christmas store, and sees that they’re for a reasonable price.

Cam: WOAH, those are beautiful!!!!

Erika: Aren’t those turtle doves?????!!!!

Cam: Yes they are!!!!!

Cam and Erika enter the second Christmas store, walk up to the Christmas tree, and take a good look at the turtledove ornaments.

Erika: The price is good too!!!!!

Erika then remembers the heart warming ending of Home Alone 2, when Kevin MacCallister was given a set of turtledove ornaments to keep one and give the second one to his special friend of whom he met in New York’s Central Park.

Erika: CAM, YOU HAVE TO GET THESE FOR WENDY????!!!!!

Cam: What?????!!!!!

Erika: Hear me out okay?  Do you remember the ending in Home Alone 2?

Cam: When Kevin spends $1000 dollars on room service????!!!!  It’s hard to forget that!!!! LOL!!!!

Erika: UUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!  NOOOOOO!!!!!  NOT THAT, I mean before that!!!!!  When Kevin is given turtledoves to keep one, and give the second one to his special bird lady friend that he met in Central Park when he was in trouble!!!!!!

Cam: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH????!!!!!

Erika: The thing is turtledoves are a symbol of love!!!!!  If you hold onto one, and give the second one to Wendy, it means your friendship will be impossible to break!!!!!

Cam: Seriously??????!!!!!!!

Erika: YES!!!!!

Cam: But how can I give Wendy a Christmas present that’s so……………….well……………..plain??????????!!!!!!!!!

Erika: UUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!  Weren’t you paying attention to a word I was saying?  
Some of the most plain and simplest things in life go a VERY LONG WAYS to melting a girl’s heart.
If you give her the turtledove and explain the meaning, it will mean SO MUCH To her………………you’re very special to her, and I think all she really wants is to keep having you as her best friend……………..so please trust me on this okay?

Cam: Well, you’ve never let me down once, so I’ll take your word for it.

Erika: Excuse me, but we’d like to buy these turtledove ornaments please?

And like that, the turtledove ornaments are charged to the hotel room, wrapped up in tissue paper, and placed in a paper bag.

Erika: You will thank me for this later Cam.

Cam: I have a feeling I will. LOL!!!!!

Erika: You know I’m always right Cam!!!! *Giggles*

Cam: Well, it’s almost 9:00, so time to head to the restaurant.

Erika: I was gonna say, I’m getting kinda hungry.

Cam: Walking around the hotel and shopping center kinda builds up an appetite.

Erika: Seriously, we may have already walked 2 miles because this hotel and shopping center are so big!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Cam: Maybe!!!!!  LOL!!!

Cam then spots a beautiful crystal glass red heart on a beautiful necklace, and sees that it too is in a decent price range.

Cam: WOW!!!!!!  That looks really nice!!!!!

Erika: WOW, IT IS REALLY PRETTY!!!!!

Cam: I might get that for Wendy’s birthday!!!!!

Erika: YOU SHOULD!!!!!  It’s not too fancy, yet not too ordinary, and perfect for a girl turning 13!!!!!  Plus it’ll look SOOOOOOO CUTE with her new outfit that she was wearing!!!!!

Cam: It would since her white dress had beautiful red ribbons on it, as well as matching red boots, so it’s perfect!!!!!

Cam enters the glass store, charges the beautiful glass necklace on the hotel room’s tab, and the necklace is carefully placed in a beautiful little box, wrapped up, and given a cute little ribbon on top.

Erika: WOW!!!!!  Even the wrapping paper is soooooo pretty!!!!  And the ribbon is SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!
GREAT FIND CAM!!!!!  

Cam: Thanks!!!!!  It came out of nowhere!!!!!

Erika: And sometimes the best things in life come when you don’t expect them!!! ☺

Cam: Very true!!!!

Erika: Anyways, let’s go eat because it’s 8:55 and I am starving!!!!

Cam: Same here!!!! Plus I heard this place has REALLY GOOD pizza!!!!!

Erika: Pizza sounds AMAZING right about now!!!!!

Cam and Erika soon make their way over to Trattoria Reggiano, and soon after arrival Troy meets up with them.

Cam: Hey Troy, any luck???!!!!

Erika: Yeah, how did it go???!!!!

Troy: Went very well!!!!  I lost a couple bets, but won a lot, so I’m pretty happy now that I got a little extra money in my pocket!!!
It looks like you 2 have been Christmas shopping!!!!

Erika: We sure have!!!!  We’ve got our Christmas presents for the girls over in Grand Bay Lake, and birthday presents fro Wendy.

Troy: That’s awesome!!!!!

Cam: Yep, and now it’s time to eat!!!!!

Troy: I know!!!!  Gambling works up an appetite, and a pizza will hit the spot!!!!

Erika: That’s what Cam and I were saying!!!!!

Maitre D: Good evening, and welcome to Trattoria Reggiano!!!!  How may I help you???!!!!

Cam: Hello, and thank you!!!!  The name is Von Ludwig; reservation for 3 at 9:00!!!!

Maitre D: Very well, come follow me right this way!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika are soon seated at a nice booth in a quiet corner as the waiter Mario comes take their orders for drinks.

Mario: Hello, how are you doing tonight?

Cam, Troy, & Erika: We’re doing great thank you!!!!

Erika: How are you?

Mario: I’m great thank you!!!!  My name’s Mario, and I’ll be taking care of you this evening!!!!  Can I get some drinks and Fried Calamari started for you?

Troy: Do you have Italian sodas?

Mario: Yes, I Have Cherry, Black Berry, Raspberry, Vanilla, Chocolate, Peach, Green Apple, Red Apple, Strawberry, Pear, Blood Orange, Plumb, Mango, Passion fruit, and Lavender!!!!!

Cam: Blood Orange sounds Great!!!!

Troy: I like the sound of Lavender!!!!

Erika: Cherry Vanilla please!!!!!

Cam: And the Fried Calamari to start sounds PERFECT!!!!

Mario: You got it!!!!

Mario puts in the orders for the drinks as Cam, Troy, and Erika read what’s on the menu.

Cam: OH MY GOD!!!!!

Troy: I THOUGHT I WANTED PIZZA BUT WOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Erika: I KNOW!!!!!!!  IT ALL SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!!!!

Troy: I’m going with the Spaghetti & Jumbo Meatballs!!!!!

Cam: I normally don’t order Pepperoni Pizza, but I will tonight!!!!!

Erika: OH MY GOSH, Their Lasagna sounds AMAZING!!!!!

Troy: We’re gonna be eating well during this trip!!!!!

Cam: You got that right!!!! LOL!!!!!

Erika: OH MY GOSH, I’m getting hungrier by the second!!!!

Cam: You’re VERY physically active, in sports, so eat to your heart’s content!!!!

Erika: Oh, I will!!!!  Though I might not eat it all!!!!

Troy: Best we save some leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch since Thanksgiving dinner will be HUGE!!!!

Cam: Good point!!!!!

Mario: Okay!!!!  Your drinks are on their way, and what is it you’d like to order?

Troy: It’ll be the Spaghetti & Jumbo Meatballs for me please!!!!

Erika: Vegetable Lasagna for me please!!!!

Cam: And Pepperoni Pizza for me please!!!!!

Mario: EXCELLENT CHOICES MY FRIENDS!!!!!!  Call me if you need me!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Erika: THANK YOU, WE WILL!!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika soon receive their drinks along with the friend Calamari.

Cam: OH MY GOSH, THIS BLOOD ORANGE ITALIAN SODA IS AMAZING!!!!

Troy: SO IS THIS LAVENDER ITALIAN SODA!!!!

Erika: CHERRY VANILLA IS MY FAVORITE, AND THIS IS GREAT!!!!

Cam: Plus the calamari and marinara sauce is pretty amazing too!!!!!

It’s not long until Cam, Troy, and Erika receive their Spaghetti with Jumbo Sized Meatballs, Vegetable Lasagna, and Pepperoni pizza.

Troy: OH MY GOD, THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!

Erika: SO DOES MINE!!!!!

Cam: THIS PIZZA WON’T LAST LONG IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!

And down the hatch the food went because Cam, Troy, and Erika didn’t hesitate to eat to their hearts content until their plates were cleared.

Troy: That was the BEST Spaghetti and Meatballs I’ve had in YEARS!!!!!

Erika: That Vegetable Lasagna was AMAZING!!!!!!!

Cam: I ate like a porg!  That Pepperoni Pizza HIT THE SPOT!!!!!

Mario: Would any of you like to see our dessert menu this evening?

Cam, Troy, & Erika: No thanks, that meal was AMAZING!!!!

Cam: We’d just like the bill please.

Mario: Very well, are you staying at either the Venetian or the Palazzo?

Troy: Yes, we’re staying in the Palazzo!!!!

Mario: OOOOOOOOO, WONDERFUL!!!!!

Cam: You can bill the meal to our room number……………

Erika: 52-926!!!!

Mario: You got it!!!!!
Cam then charges the meal to the hotel room, and leaves Mario a very good 25% percent tip.

Mario: Thank you so much!!!!  Please come again!!!!

Troy: Thank you very much, that was wonderful!!!!

Erika: We will most certainly come back!!!!!

Cam: Most DEFINITELY!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then leave the restaurant after enjoying an amazing dinner, and make their way over to the gondolas.

Troy: Alright, there are gondola rides for both just indoors, just outdoors, or both!!!!

Erika: Let’s do both!!!!

Cam: Got one booked for both at 10:30 just before we hit the road!!!!  Gives us time to digest our food!!!!

Troy: Perfect!!!!  They depart every 15 minutes, and the last one’s at 11:00, and it’s 10:15 now, so perfect timing!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then confirm their reservation before they buy their tickets for a 20 minute indoor & outdoor gondola ride and make their way onto the loading dock.

Cam: Alrighty, the gondola should be here real soon.
   
The Gondola soon arrives, and Cam, Troy, and Erika board in no time.
Once all on board, the gondola shoves off, and makes its way down the shopping center’s canals.

Troy: Alright, this is actually pretty nice!!!!

Erika: Mind if I borrow your lap Cam?

Cam: Sure, no problem????!!!!!

Erika gently lays her head down on Cam’s lap, and gently doses off.
Cam takes off his jacket and gently places it on top of Erika to keep her warm.

Cam: Here you go Sweetie.

Troy: You’re always spoiling her, how typical??!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: Hey, I can’t let her freeze when we go outside!!!

Troy: Good point, then again we’re both kinda guilty in spoiling her!!! LOL!!!

Cam: Hey, she’s the only girl, and she’s also the baby, so of course we’d spoil her like a princess!!! LOL!!!!

Troy: She really is a precious little jewel.

Cam: That she is.

Troy: However it is fun to tease and grope her!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: It is, but try to be gentle because she's very delicate, and is VERY sensitive when it comes to being teased!!!!!

Troy: Sorry, but my hands have a strong grip!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Erika gently grabs a hold of Cam’s hand and tightly clasps it in hers while Cam gently strokes her delicate face and beautiful long blonde hair.

Erika: Your lap is so comfy…………………

Troy: It’s times like this you can’t help but love her.

Cam: I know!!!  Wendy would call her a little cutie if she saw this, but what’s ironic is, I believe Erika is now the same height as Wendy, if not maybe a little taller.

Troy: Now that I think about it, I did notice that Erika was slightly taller than Wendy the last time we were in Grand Bay Lake.  Plus I think Erika is gaining a little more cleavage than Wendy. LOL!!!!!

Cam: But by a VERY SMALL margin, and try not to say that out loud because Erika will call you a pervert, and it'll hurt Wendy's feelings.

Troy: She sure is growing up so fast though.

Cam: I wish she wouldn’t………………

Troy: Me too…………..

Boatman: Alright folks, we are about to get outside onto the strip.

Cam & Troy: AWESOME!!!!!

Cam: Erika Sweetie, we’re about to go outside onto the Las Vegas Strip.

Erika: Oh?

Troy: Yeah, you won’t want to miss it!!!

Erika gently lifts her head off of Cam’s lap, and is completely blown away when she sees the beautifully lit Las Vegas Strip.

Erika: WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

Cam: VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

Troy: THAT IS STUNNING!!!!!!!

The gondola makes its way down the canal and under the arch bridges as Cam, Troy, and Erika enjoy the beautiful night life of Las Vegas.

Cam: And this is just a taste of what we’ll do tomorrow!!!!

Troy: Yeah, tomorrow night, we’ll enjoy the strip!!!!

Erika: And ice skate of course!!!!!

Cam: As well as enjoy the Bellagio Fountains, Sirens The Pirate Show, Entertainment Lake At The Wynn, and ride the monorail up and down the strip.

Troy: Sounds perfect!!!!

Erika: This was the perfect start to our stay!!! ☺  

The gondola soon makes its way back to the dock where Cam, Troy, and Erika disembark.

Cam: Well thank you very much!!!

Erika: Yeah, that was great!!!!

Troy then hands the boatman a nice tip!!!

Troy: Have a good night sir!!!!

Cam: And before we go up to our room, I have just the thing to end our night………..

Troy: You thinking what I’m thinking?????

Erika: I have a pretty good idea too!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika make their way to the Gelato Shop, and put in their order.

Troy: GOOD THINKING CAM!!!!  What did you get????!!!!!

Cam: Straciatella, what about you?

Erika: Oreo Cookies & Cream!!!!

Troy: Strawberry Cheesecake!!!!

Cam: AWESOME!!!!  Would you like to try some of mine??

Troy & Erika: SURE!!!!

Erika: Try some of mine too!!!!

Troy: And mine!!!!

Cam: Awesome!!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika all try each other’s gelato and are all blown away before eating theirs.

Cam: WOW!!!!!  Both of yours are amazing!!!!

Erika: SO IS YOURS!!!!  I also LOVE YOURS TROY!!!!

Troy: Cam, you have really good taste, and I may not be a fan of Cookies & Cream, but I REALLY like yours Erika!!!!

Erika: I love both of yours, but I REALLY love mine the most!!!!

Cam: Same here!!!!

Troy: Me too!!!!!

Erika: Anyways, tonight was a PERFECT start!!!!

Troy: I completely agree!!!!

Cam: Now lets head up back to our room and call it a night!!!!

Troy: Sounds good!!!!  Mind if I see what’s on T.V.?

Erika: OH YES!!!! AMC and Freeform have the BEST Christmas movies playing!!!!

Cam: I’m down for that!!!

Troy: Race ya all back!!!!  Last one to the vator pays the bill!!!!

Cam: I’m already paying for the bill for the trip, so that statement is invalid!!!! LOL!!!!!

Erika: See ya boys!!!!!

And Erika beats both Cam and Troy to the elevators.

Cam: UGH!!!!  How can we forget????!!!!!

Troy: We maybe fast, but we’re no match for Erika!!!!!

Erika: *Giggles* It pays to be on track & field!!!! LOL!!!!

Security Guard: Good evening you guys, would you mind showing me your room keys?

Cam: Sure!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika get out their room keys and show the security guard before he allows them to proceed.

Security Guard: Thank you very much, you have a good night!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Erika: Thanks, you too!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then get in the elevator, and are soon taken back up to their floor.

Cam: And here we are!!!!

Troy: Last one to the room pays for dinner tomorrow!!!!

Cam: Again, that was gonna be me anyways, so that statement is once again invalid!!!!

Erika: Too slow!!!!

And once again, Erika beats Cam and Troy as she opens the door to the hotel room, enters, takes off her socks and shoes, and makes her way over to the window sill, sits on the ledge, and looks out at the beautiful view before Cam and Troy show up.

Troy: Alright, now let’s see what’s on T.V.!!!!

Cam: Sounds good!!!!

Cam crashes onto the bed as Troy turns on the T.V., and sees that Elf is on AMC and Home Alone 2 is on Freeform.

Troy: DOG GONE IT!!!!  2 AWESOME CLASSICS ARE ON AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!

Erika: What are they?

Troy: Elf on AMC, Home Alone 2 on Freeform, and now I’m seeing It Nearly Wasn’t Christmas On Disney!!!!

Erika: DARN!!!!!!  That is a tough one!!!!

Troy: I’m down for any of em!!!

Erika: Me too!!!!  How about you Cam?

But Cam had dosed off.

Troy: Cam, we need your help here!!!!

Erika: Yeah, and don’t hog up the WHOLE BED!!!!

Erika then climbs onto the bed, craws up to Cam, lifts up her cheerleading skirt, straddles her legs on Cam’s waist sides, and sits on top of him.

Erika: Come on Cam!!!!  We need your help to decide what we’re gonna watch!!!!
Don’t make me fart on you!!!

Cam: WHAT????!!!!

Erika: *Bursts Out Laughing*  I knew that’d get your attention!!!!  Now come on and help us decide!!!!  Also don't worry, I don't have to fart at the moment!!! LOL!!!!!

Cam: Freeform always cuts out the good traps for Home Alone 2, It Nearly Wasn’t Christmas looks like it’s almost over, and Elf looks like it’s just starting, so let’s go with Elf!!!!

Troy: THANK YOU!!!!!  

Erika: WOW!!!!  You sure know how to narrow things down!!!!

Troy: Which is why we need your help when it comes to this stuff…………….

Cam: OH, That reminds me, since Grand Bay Lake has NEVER celebrated Christmas and has AMAZING movie theaters all over the city, and we said we'd have the theaters play good classics, and the hotels have the menu option for lesser known films.........

Troy: Yes?

Cam: The films I am thinking is Elf, Home Alone, Home Alone 2, Ernest Saves Christmas, It’s A Wonderful Life, Polar Express, Gremlins, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Fred Claus, The Santa Claus, The Santa Claus 2, The Santa Claus 3, Black Nativity, The Preacher’s Wife, Miracle on 34TH Street, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey, Scroodged, A Christmas Horror Story, Trading Places, and Edward Sciscorhands.

Troy: I LIKE THAT!!!!  And the less popular films to play in the hotel rooms can be Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer, Rudolph’s Shiny New Year, Rudolph & Frosty’s Christmas In July, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer & The Island Of Misfit Toys, Jack Frost, Snow Day, Christmas With The Cranks, Deck The Halls, the other 2 versions of The Grinch, Mickey’s Christmas Carol, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, A Year Without Santa, The Search For Santa Paws, Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, A VERY Harold & Kumar Christmas, Frosty The Snowman, Prancer, Prancer 2, The Best Man Holiday, Love Actually, Black Christmas, The Ref, Let It Snow, White Christmas, Bad Santa, Happiest Season, The Muppet Christmas Carol, The Dog Who Saves Christmas, The 12 Dogs Of Christmas, and Mistle Tones.

Erika: THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!!

Troy: I’m writing that all down!!!!!

Cam: And the only movies available in the theaters WILL be the Christmas movies we mentioned.  However, in the hotels we’ll have a Christmas Genre Selection, and we’ll put all the movies you mentioned in there.

Erika: I REALLY LIKE THIS IDEA!!!!!

Troy: As do I!!!!

Cam: We’re getting closer to getting this thing ready!!!!

Erika: I SOOOOOO CAN’T WAIT!!!!

Troy: Neither Can I!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then put down their notes, and relax as they continue to watch Elf.  Night 1 in Vegas was off to a good start, but it would only get more fun and exciting from there.



To Be Continued.........................

Chapter 8

Fun Thanksgiving Night On The Las Vegas Strip

After a day of sightseeing and a couple hours swimming in the pool, Cam, Troy, and Erika get ready for Thanksgiving dinner.
Erika enjoys a relaxing bath as Cam enjoys a nice hot shower, while Troy patiently waits as he enjoys watching T.V.

Troy: Hey guys, how much longer will you be in there?

Cam: I’m almost done!!!!

Erika: It may take me a bit longer, but I don’t mind you coming in!!!  I’ll be busy with my make up anyways!!!!

Cam: I can leave the shower running if you’d like.

Troy: Sounds good!!!!

In no time, Cam is done showering and steps out.

Cam: Alright Troy, I’m out!!!!

Troy: AWESOME!!!!

Erika: Hold on!!!!

Erika takes a deep breath and goes under water as Cam removes his towel from around his waist before handing it to Troy for him to put around his waist.

Troy: Thanks Cam!!!!

Cam: No problem!!!

Troy gets undressed and puts the wet towel around his waist before stepping into the shower.
Cam wastes no time in stepping into the water closet, and putting on his nice dress clothes in time for Erika to pop up out of the water.

Erika: Okay, I’m done!!!!

Cam: Alrighty!!!!

Cam shuts his eyes before walking over to the tub, helping Erika step out, and wrapping a towel around her.  Troy looks away until Erika has a towel wrapped around her.

Erika: Thanks Cam!!!!

Cam: No problem sweetie!!!!

Once Erika has a towel around her, Cam reopens his eyes, heads back to the dual sink vanity, and sets to work on brushing his teeth, shaving his face, and fixing his hair.

Cam: Alright, I’m done, and I’m out!!!!!

As Cam leaves the bathroom, Erika goes over to the sink to brush her teeth before making her way over to the small make up vanity area to work on brushing, blow drying, and ironing out her hair to make it wavy.  She then puts her hair in a ponytail while having 2 small strands dangle by the sides of her face.
She then sets to work on carefully applying her make up, face blush, eye glitter, fake eyelashes, eyebrow mascara, and lip gloss.
She then makes her way over to the water closet, and puts on her beautiful dark royal blue figure skating costume with gorgeous built in thigh length mini skirt before putting on her beautiful black dress shoes.
She then puts on the finishing touch by putting a beautiful silver bow in her hair.

Erika: Alright, I’m ready!!!!

Troy: And I’m done showering!!!!

Erika: Okay, I’ll get out now!!!!

When Erika leaves the bathroom, Cam cannot believe his eyes.

Erika: Hey Cam, what do you think?

Cam: WOW!!!!!  YOU LOOK DROP DEAD STUNNING!!!!!

Erika: *Blushes Bright Pink* AWWWWWWWWWW, REALLY?????!!!!!!!!

Cam: YES, you’re probably the most beautiful girl in all of Vegas now!!!!!

Erika: YOU REALLY THINK SO????!!!!

Cam: You look just like a princess out of a fairy tail.

Erika: AWWWWWWWWWW, THANK YOU!!!!!

Erika then wraps her arms around Cam and gives him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Erika: You look VERY HANDSOME yourself Cam!!!!

Cam: Thanks!!!

Troy then gets out of the shower, and makes his way over to the water closet where he removes his towel from around his waist, and sets to work on putting on his nice dress clothes.
He then gets to work on brushing his teeth, shaving his face, and fixing his hair, and in no time is out of the bathroom.

Troy: And now I am ready!!!!

Cam: Looking good Troy!!!!!

Troy: Hey, you look good yourself Cam!!!!!  However, neither of us can compare to you Erika!!!

Cam: Doesn’t she look stunning????!!!!!!

Troy: She looks just like a princess!!!!

Erika: *BLUSHES BRIGHTER PINK* STOP, You’re both making me blush!!!! *Giggles*

Cam: Well, let’s go head to the monorail, and head to the stratosphere!!!!

Troy: Afterwards, we’ll enjoy the strip!!!!

Erika: And I’ll teach you both how to ice skate!!!!

Cam: We’ll also enjoy Sirens The Pirate Show, Entertainment Lake at The Wynn, The Bellagio Fountains, and ride the monorail and hotel shuttles!!!!!

Troy: OH YEAH!!!!!

Erika: It’s gonna be so much fun!!!!!

Just then Cam receives a phone call on his Ipad as does Troy.  A few seconds later, Erika receives a call on hers too!!!

Troy: Mom & Dad are calling!!!!!

Cam: Wendy’s calling on my end!!!!!

Erika: Sarah’s calling me!!!!

Cam: Let’s answer them all together!!!!

Troy: YES!!!!

Erika: Sounds good!!!!

Cam: 1…………………

Troy: 2……………….

Erika: 3………………

Cam, Troy, & Erika: 4!!!!!!

One by one, Cam, Troy, and Erika answer their phone calls on their Ipads.

Wendy: HEY GUYS!!!!!!!  WOW YOU ALL LOOK AMAZING!!!!!

Erika: I am SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!!

Sarah: I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: Your father and I had the most AMAZING trip down in South America, and we had an AMAZING THANKSGIVING out in Downtown Miami Beach, Florida!!!!!

Mr. Von Ludwig: We’re staying at the 1 Hotel South Beach, and IT’S AMAZING!!!!!

Everyone: LUCKY!!!!!!!

Cam: Then again, we’re staying at The Palazzo At The Venetian, so we can’t really complain!!!! LOL!!!!  

Troy: How was Thanksgiving Dinner!!!!

Mr. & Mrs. Von Ludwig: MY GOD, IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!  NOT TO MENTION WE SAW A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET ON THE BEACH!!!!!

Wendy: WOW THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL!!!!!!

Sarah: MY GOD, I WISH I WAS THERE!!!!!

Mr. Von Ludwig: Well, this place is more for us old timers where as you 3 are in the perfect place for young kids and adults like you 3!!!!!

Troy: Very true!!!!  But once we get back it’s into the holiday rush we go!!!!

Erika: Cheerleading practice, diving practice, ballet practice, and figure skating practice!!!!

Mr. & Mrs. Von Ludwig: Well, you 3 enjoy your trip while you can!!!!

Wendy: You 3 have a good time, and I’ll see ya all real soon!!!!!

Sarah: Yeah, have an awesome night you guys!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Erika: THANK YOU, WE WILL!!!!  LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then end the calls, before putting on their winter jackets.
Cam and Troy put on their wool navy blazers while Erika put on a beautiful red jacket that matches her figure skating dress beautifully.

Cam: Wonderful to hear from them!!!!

Troy: It always is!!!!!

Erika: Now lets not delay because we have a long night ahead of us!!!!

Cam: Got that right!!!!

Erika grabs Cam’s and Troy’s hands before holding them tightly as the 3 exit their suite, make their way to the elevator, and out to the lobby.
Once the elevator makes it down to the ground floor level, Cam, Troy, and Erika look for the walkway to the monorail.

Cam: Alrighty, now the walk way to the monorail should be here somewhere……….it is the newest monorail station on the line given............

Troy: Easy to forget in a hotel this big………….

Erika: I know, it’s very confusing…………………

Cam: THERE IT IS!!!!!  It’s Right through the Grand Canal Shopping Center.

Troy: Awesome!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika make their way through the Grand Canal Shopping Center, and are in no time at the new monorail station.

Cam: Alrighty, I’ll get us 3 5 day passes!!!!!

Erika: Awesome!!!!

Cam buys the boarding passes, and in no time the beautiful Innovia 200 Monorail glides smoothly into the station by the northbound platform.

Troy: Alrigtht, here it is!!!!!

Cam: Let’s board!!!!

Erika: Right!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then board in the very front of the VERY front car of the monorail, and make their way to the VERY FRONT nose section of the monorail before sitting the ledge by the large glass window, and looking out.

Erika: WOW!!!!!  LOOK AT THAT!!!!!  IT’S BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Cam: I just LOVE the snow!!!!

Troy: And the beautiful Christmas décor!!!!

Erika: I can’t get enough of all this!!!!

The monorail soon departs the station and glides smoothly down the track as it makes its to the Northern terminal of the strip.

Cam: Okay, our stop is SLS Station, and that’s right by the Stratosphere.

Troy: Perfect!!!

Erika: I SOOOO CAN’T WAIT!!! ☺

In no time, the monorail arrives at SLS Station where Cam, Troy, and Erika disembark before following the walkway to the Stratosphere Hotel.

Cam: Alright, the Stratosphere is just up ahead!!!!

Troy: WOAH!!!!!!  HOW TALL IS THAT THING????!!!!

Cam: It’s 1,149 feet high, and the second highest structure in North America after the CN Tower in Toronto.

Erika: OH MY GOSH!!!!  I know I’m a flyer for cheerleading, I go high on bars in gymnastics, and dive off of high diving boards, but the height of that thing REALLY makes me nervous!!!!!!!  Even, the Eiffel Tower in Paris scared me…………….

Cam: It’ll be okay!!!!  We’ll be inside, we’ll have glass windows and steel to protect us, and the view will be spectacular.

Troy: You had no problem eating at the Jules Verne Restaurant in the Eiffel Tower………

Erika: Because it wasn’t all the way at the top!!!!!

Cam gently holds Erika’s had and gives her a gentle kiss on top of her head.

Cam: It’ll be just fine once we’re inside, I promise…………..

Erika: We are SOOOOOOO going ice skating right after this!!!!!

Troy: No problem!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika enter the Stratosphere Tower, and take the elevator all the way up to The Top Of The World Restaurant.

Cam: Alrighty, here we are!!!!

Erika: WOW!!!!!  THIS IS AMAZING!!!!  This I’m okay with!!!!

Troy: Told ya, you’d be fine!!!!

Erika: Okay, you 2 were right!!!

Maitre D: Good evening, and Welcome To The Top Of The World At The Stratosphere!!!  What name is the reservation under?

Cam: Hello, the name is Von Ludwig, reservation for 3.

Maitre D: Wonderful, let me have a look…………….Perfect!!!!!
Follow me right this way!!!!

Coat man: Mind if I take your coats for you?

Troy: Thank you very much!!!!

Coat man: My pleasure!!!!  

Cam, Troy, and Erika then have their coats taken and hung up in the closet as they make their way over to their table by a HUGE window over looking the ENTIRE Las Vegas Strip.

Maitre D: And here is your table!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Erika: WOW!!!!!!  THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!

Cam: VERY BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE STRIP!!!!!

Troy: Best view of the strip I’ve seen so far!!!!

Cam then pulls out the chair by the window.

Cam: Here you go Erika, sweetie!!!

Erika: Oh, Thanks Cam!!!

Cam: Anytime!!!!  This way you get the spectacular view!!!!

Erika: I really appreciate it!!!!

Troy: WOW!!!!  VERY GOOD CHOICE CAMARO!!!!

Maitre D: Steven your server will be with you shortly!!!! ☺

Cam: Thank you very much!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika have a good look at the menu, and see the sizes of the plates.

Cam, Troy, & Erika: WOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!  

Erika: THAT IS WAAAAAAAAAYYYY TOO MUCH FOR ME!!!!

Cam: I’m trying to lose weight, NOT gain it!!!!!

Troy: I’m with you in that department!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Erika: WE ARE SPLITTING IT!!!!

Cam: It’s a four course meal with salad, soup, a main course, and dessert, so we’re splitting the Main Course!!!!

Troy: Sounds good!!!!

Erika: I LOVE what’s up for dessert!!!!

Troy: BAKED ALASKA!!!!!

Cam: RICOTTA CHEESECAKE!!!!!

Erika: 21 LAYERED CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!!

Cam: UH-OH, it looks like I’m sleeping on the couch tonight!!!!!

Troy: Good luck!!!! LOL!!!!!

Erika: Awwwwwwwwwww Boo!!!!!

Cam: I’m sorry Erika, but your tummy with dairy & egg don’t go together, and it’s not because of lactose intolerance…………..that stuff makes you fart none stop……….

Erika: I know, but I can’t help it……………..

Troy: Anyways, we pretty much have an idea of what we want right?

Cam: Pear Salad, Pumpkin Soup, splitting the Thanksgiving Bronze Turkey with Stuffing, Sweet Cauliflower Mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce, and having our own separate desserts.

Erika: Sounds perfect!!!!!

Steven: Good evening and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! I am Steven, and I’ll be taking care of you guys!!!  Have you had a good look at our Thanksgiving Menu?

Cam: We sure have, and we know what to order!!!!

Troy: We’ll take everything on the Four Course Thanksgiving Menu, however we’d like to split the main course, and have it done in the kitchen if possible.

Erika: And we’d like our own desserts please.

Steven: No problem!!!!  Would you 2 gentlemen like a Champagne cocktail, and you young lady some sparkling cider?

Cam, Troy, & Erika: Yes Please that sounds great!!!!

Steven: Very well, I’ll be right back with the cocktails.

A few minutes later Steven returns the cocktails, and Cam, Troy, and Erika enjoy a nice drink while looking out on the beautiful Resort Strip.

Troy: Well cheers to an awesome vacation in Vegas………

Cam: A city that was built on Rock & Roll………..

Erika: Yeah…………….

Cam, Troy, and Erika then touch their Champagne glasses with one another’s.

Cam, Troy, & Erika: We Built This City On Rock & Roll

After enjoying their amazing Thanksgiving Dinner at The Top Of The World in The Stratosphere, Cam, Troy, and Erika enjoy an awesome night on the strip……………

Erika: Okay, first thing we’re doing………………….I’m gonna teach ya how to ice skate!!!!!

Cam: Uh-Oh!!!!

Troy: Prepare to fall down A LOT!!!!!!

Cam: Hey, this is both of us who are new here!!!!

Erika: YEP!!!! *GIGGLES*

Troy: Oh boy!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika make their way over to the ice skating rink at the Cosmopolitan, and once there, it’s off with the shoes and on with the skates.

Erika makes her way out onto the ice VERY easily without a sweat where as Cam and Troy are VERY hesitant at first.

Erika: COME ON GUYS!!!  IT’S NOT THAT DIFFICULT!!!

Cam and Troy slowly make their way onto the ice only to slip and fall backwards and land hard on their backs.

Cam & Troy: Woah, WOOOOOAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!  *CRASH*  OOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

EVERYONE on the ice rink sees the whole thing happen, and they bust out laughing.

Erika: UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!  COME ON; YOU GUYS ARE EMBARASSING ME!!!!

Cam: Excuse me………..

Troy: A little warning would have been nice!!!!!

Everyone continued staring at Cam, Troy, and Erika, yet couldn’t help but keep laughing.

Erika: It’s my big brothers’ first time, and I’m teaching em how to skate!!!!!

Everyone: OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!  THAT MAKES SENSE!!!!  LOL!!!!

Erika makes her way over to Cam and Troy, lifts up her figure skating costume’s mini-skirt, straddles her legs on Cam’s waist sides, and sits on top of him while grabbing Troy’s shirt by the chest area.

Erika: COME ON YOU GUYS!!!!  IT’S NOT THAT HARD!!!!!!

Cam & Troy: Easy for you, you’re a professional figure skater!!!!!

Troy: OWWWWW!!!!!  YOUR HAND ON MY CHEST HURTS!!!!

Erika: *Giggles* It’s okay, we all have to start somewhere!!!!  We’ll just take it slow, okay?  You’re both over thinking this too much, and making it harder than need be.  And Troy, consider it pay back for constantly grabbing my butt really hard!!!! LOL!!!

Cam: UH, We’re first timers to this!!!!

Troy: And what do you expect????!!!!!  Also that figures!!! -_-

Erika: I fell down A LOT on my first time too!!!!  It happens to all of us!!!!

Erika gently gets off of Cam, gently grabs his hand and helps him up before Grabbing Troy’s hand and helping him up too.

Erika: Okay, just follow me.

Erika skates down the rink while Cam and Troy follow, but as they follow, they both fall and land on their backs again.

Erika: *Giggles* It’s okay let’s try again!!!!

Once again Erika helps Cam and Troy back on their feet again, but it isn’t long until Cam and Troy fall back on the ice again, and again, and I say it, YET AGAIN!!!!!!

Cam: I will feel that fall into next week!!!!!

Troy: UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!  That will leave a mark!!!!

Erika: Come on; You almost got it!!!!!  One more time, please???!!!!

This time Erika holds Cam’s hand and doesn’t let go.  

Erika: Okay, put your hands on my waist and follow me.

Cam gently puts his hands on Erika’s waist sides, and follows her down the rink.

Erika: Okay, now let go!!!!

Cam lets go, and is soon skating on his own.

Cam: Hey, I think I got it!!!!

Erika: AWESOME!!!!!!  WAY TO GO CAM!!!!

Erika then goes over to Troy!!!!

Erika: Okay, place your hands on my waist and just follow me okay?

Troy: Okay!!!!

Troy gently places his hands on Erika’s waist sides, and after following her for a while he lets go, and is skating on his own.

Troy: ALRIGHT!!!!!  YOU’RE RIGHT!!!!  It is not that hard!!!!

Erika: SEE????!!!!!!  I told ya!!!

Erika then holds Cam’s hand and skates by his side as Troy follows.  Erika however soon gets carried away, and shows off her figure skating skills enough to generate an audience.

Cam: WOW!!!!!

Troy: Neither of us are a match for her!!!!

Cam: Not when it comes to skating!!!!!  LOL!!!!

Troy: However she wouldn’t survive smashing 7 blocks of ice!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: It took us years before we mastered that!!! LOL!!!

Erika ends up practicing her entire figure skating routine, which causes a huge uproar round of applause when she finishes.

Erika: *Blushes bright pink*  OOPS!!!!!  I think I kinda over did it!!!! *Giggles*

Troy: Ya think???!!!!

Cam: Anyways, I’d say it’s time for us to enjoy more of the strip!!!!

Erika: Okay!!!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then get their shoes back, and explore the Las Vegas Strip.
They make their way down to the Mirage and watch the Volcano Eruption before they make their way to Treasure Island and watch the pirate show.
They then make their way over to Entertainment Lake at the Wynn, and watch the fountains dance to Star Ship’s 2007 Recording of We Built This City.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWbRxMJFp_8

Cam, Troy, & Erika: AWESOME!!!!!

Cam: That is Grand Bay Lake’s National Anthem!!!

Troy: It matches Las Vegas very well too!!!!

Erika: Hey, Grand Bay Lake is inspired by Las Vegas so it makes sense!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: And we built it on Rock & Roll!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then make their way over to the Bellagio to enjoy the spectacular fountain show when Ring Christmas Bells begins playing as the fountains Dance.

Troy: Put this song down in the fountain dance song routine for Grand Bay Lake!!!!!

Cam: Most Definitely!!!!

Soon Eartha Kitt’s Santa Baby begins playing, which causes Cam, Troy, and Erika to burst out laughing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKOjKEkre4A

Erika: OH, VERY INAPPROPRIATE!!!!

Troy: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING* It sounds like Eartha Kitt wants to have sex with Santa!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Cam: If Carla heard this song, she’d have a heart attack!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Erika: Yeah, so best not to include it!!!!  LOL!!!!!

After enjoying the dancing fountains at the Bellagio, Cam, Troy, and Erika head back to the monorail and ride it all the way down to the south end of the Las Vegas Strip.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwdmhQuJnW8&list=RDpwdmhQuJnW8&start_radio=1

They then explore The MGM Grand, The Luxor, The Mandalay Bay, New York New York, Paris, and The Flamingo.
One by One, Cam, Troy, and Erika take pictures of all the hotels interiors and how each hotel is meticulously decorated before hopping back on the monorail for one final round trip up and down the Las Vegas Strip.

Erika: Well, that was AWESOME!!!!

Cam: Most DEFINITELY!!!!

Troy: And we still have 4 more amazing nights to go!!!!

Erika sits down on Cam’s lap, lays her head on his shoulder and gently snuggles as Cam looks out the very front window looking down the monorail track while Troy sits next to him also looking out the front window.

Cam: And it seems that our Princess is a little tired out!!! Then again it’s 12:15 a.m., so who could blame here? LOL!!!!

Troy: Hence why a last round trip monorail ride up and down the strip is perfect!!!!

The monorail soon glides into the monorail station just outside the Grand Canal Shopping Center at The Venetian and Palazzo.

Erika: I sure hope we can do this again next year!!!!

Troy: If Mom & Dad go out of town again, then lets do it!!!!

Cam: This city was built on Rock & Roll, so why not!!!!!

Erika: AWESOME!!!!!

After disembarking the monorail Cam, Troy, and Erika high five one another in celebration of a fun night and getting a lot of ideas down for Grand Bay Lake’s Holiday Celebration.

Cam: AWESOME NIGHT YOU GUYS!!!!

Troy: JOB WELL DONE!!!!

Erika: YEAH!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Erika: WE BUILT THIS CITY ON ROCK & ROLL!!!!!


To Be Continued………………………

Chapter 9

No Time To Stop All Hands On Deck!!!!

After Returning Home from an amazing Thanksgiving vacation in Las Vegas there is no rest for the weary.
Every day poor little Erika has to deal with cheerleading practice, ballet practice, figure skating practice, or synchronized swimming practice after school and on weekends.
Troy has to work extra hours at the Von Ludwig Gaming Corporation to make up for Cam’s absence after 2:00 p.m. Monday-Friday making him work as late as 8:00 P.M.  YIKES!!!!!
Cam however has it the hardest of all 3 for he has to oversee EVERYTHING during the 2 week preparation period in Grand Bay Lake to make sure everything goes like clock work.
Wendy, Chelia, Carla, Nina, and Ayumi are shocked and pissed off about the 2 week eviction put in place.

Carla: WHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT?????!!!!!!!!

Wendy: WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE’RE EVICTED FOR 2 WEEKS!!!!!!!

Ayumi: BUT WE HAVE SCHOOL TO ATTEND!!!!!

Chelia: WHERE WILL WE STAY????!!!!!!!

Nina: AND WHY FOR 2 WEEKS?????!!!!!

Poe: Believe me, I’m just as shocked as you are!!!!!

Finn: Cam, and Troy were just notified by safety inspectors, and almost NOTHING on Main Street is up to code!!!!!

Carla: HOW CAN THAT BE????!!!!  WE’VE NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING HAPPENING IN TERMS OF BUILDING PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!

Poe: Apparently the standards have gotten stricter, and in order to get everything up to date, construction workers have to go inside the walls of ALL buildings along Main Street, and strengthen everything!!!!  This includes structural, plumbing, and electrical!!!!!

Finn: Because of that, it will not be safe for you to stay here while this is going on, and it will take 2 weeks minimum to complete!!!!

Carla: DO THEY HAVE AN ESTIMATION OF WHEN THIS WILL BE COMPLETE?????!!!!!

Poe: They’re hoping by Friday December 8th at 5:00 O-Clock on the dot!!!!!

Chelia: BUT THAT’S WENDY’S 13TH BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Nina: THAT’S A VERY SPECIAL DAY FOR HER!!!!!!

Ayumi: CAM, TROY, AND ERIKA PROMISED TO MAKE THEIR MONTHLY VISIT ON THAT DAY!!!!!

Finn: I’m terribly sorry, but this is out of our control!!!!  We're just the messengers!!!!!

Poe: Not even the Mayor, Royal King Camaro, Duke Troy Von Ludwig, or Princess Erika have a say in this!!!!

Wendy: It’s okay…………..As one of the 4 royal princesses I understand………………you have to do what you have to do, and it’s out of our control………….

Chelia: BUT WENDY, THIS IS OUR HOME, AND THAT IS ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Wendy: I know, but it’s out of our hands Chelia, and there’s nothing we can do……………..

Carla: Child, you can’t let them evict us like this for 2 weeks!!!!!!!!

Wendy: We don’t have a choice Carla………………..

A few tears pour down Wendy’s face……………..

Chelia: But what about meeting with Cam, Troy, and Erika on your birthday????!!!

Wendy: It’ll happen…………………..I hope……………………

Ayumi: Is there a chance of a delay?

Poe: Unfortunately we don’t know that, but knowing how renovations work there always is.  They can be as little as a matter of hours, or as much as a matter of years…………..

Carla: WHAT?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finn: It doesn’t look like it’s gonna be that long, but you have to prepare for the fact that construction may take longer than 2 weeks.

Carla: I CANNOT ACCEPT THAT!!!!!!!

A construction worker helping out with the Christmas decorating disguised as a safety inspector with really good fake documents shows up and knocks at the castle’s drawbridge.

Fake Safety Inspector: HELLO!!!!  It’s the building safety inspector!!!!

Poe: We must let him in!!!!

Finn: Right!!!!

Poe and Finn lower the draw bridge and the fake building safety inspector crosses over it, and makes his way through the castle’s entrance, and over to the throne room.

Fake Safety Inspector: Hello………..

Carla: Alright, what is it that’s going on?

Fake Safety Inspector: I’ve come to inform you that you have one hour to move out before an inspection can be performed on the castle.

Carla: WHAT?????!!!!!

Fake Safety Inspector: After everything is determined for what type of work needs to be done, the contractors wanna come in and make the necessary repairs right away!!!!  We have a tight dead line for 2 weeks, and we can’t delay!!!!

Chelia: What is that in your hand there?

Fake Safety Inspector: Everything that was found in most of the buildings along Main Street.

Nina: Galvanized piping, knob & tube electrical wiring, lead paint, and ASBESTOS IN THE TILE?????!!!!!!

Carla: WHAT????!!!!!!!  THAT IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!

Fake Safety Inspector: Also there were cracks found in the concrete floor down Main Street, and all that has to be scraped off, and repaved!!!!
With this going on, it is unsafe for you to be living here at this time, which is why we need you to leave.

Chelia: THAT BETTER NOT BE SOME FAKE LIST………………

Ayumi: It’s not; it’s all legal documents from The Magic Kingdom’s Building Safety Division's Administration!!!

Fake Safety Inspector: Here’s my company ID…………..

The Fake Building Safety Inspector brings out his fake company ID, and shows the girls, however it looks legit, and the girls believe him.

Wendy: Well, girls we must do as they say……………

Chelia: But Wendy?................................

Wendy doesn’t respond, she just runs up to her room crying before setting to work on packing her things.

Chelia: If Princess Wendy says it’s out of our hands then as another one of the 4 Royal Princesses, I have no choice but to follow………………

Carla: And as the Royal Princesses Guardian, I may not like it, but I have no choice but to comply……………….do as you must………………

Nina: As one of the royal hand maidens I must obey…………….

Ayumi: And as another one of the royal hand maidens, I must obey to……………..

And like that, Chelia, Carla, Nina, and Ayumi head up to their quarters to pack their things.
Meanwhile, outside the castle, along Main Street, Rodeo Drive, The ENTIRE Resort Strip, ALL the Hotels and Resorts, Restaurants, and shops scaffolding is put up EVERYWHERE!!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1yZah5l6S0

Multiple electricians work long and hard in putting up beautiful LED Christmas Light Strands.
All 5 working steam trains are hard at work hauling all the Christmas Supplies from neighboring parts of the Magic Kingdom.
Both the Admiral Joe Flower and Richard Irvine Paddlewheel Steamboats had their inspections and repairs put on the fast track and are now back in service.  Together they make trips to and from Eatonville to bring in more Christmas supplies from other places far away.

Cam and Herbie drive around the entire city to check on the progress, and they are liking what they see.

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!!  We are off to a VERY GOOD START!!!!!!
We’re building this city on Rock & Roll Herbie, and let’s keep it that way!!!!!

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP!!!!

Work continues around the clock as Wendy, Carla, Chelia, Nina, and Ayumi finish packing their things, and get ready to leave…………..

Carla: Do you girls have everything?

Wendy, Chelia, Nina, & Ayumi: Yes!!!

Carla: Alright, so where will we head to?

Chelia: There are plenty of hotel and resorts to choose from?

Fake Safety Inspector: I’m sorry, but all hotels and resorts have shut down for 2 weeks too.

Carla: WHAT??????!!!!!!!!!

Fake Safety Inspector: They also need to be brought up to code, and it’s the same with the school too, hence why school is out of session until after the New Year.

Chelia: Well, at least we won’t have to worry about missing class!!!!

Ayumi: Yeah, that’s true!!!!

Nina: Didn’t Cam, Troy, and Erika stay at a nice resort up in Tocoma with Poe, Finn, Ramsley, and Helmsley?

Poe: Yes we did, and reservations have been made in your names at that same hotel.

Finn: We have expanded your teleporting crystals, so you won’t have a problem getting there.  Coming back maybe an issue, so be careful!!!

Wendy: We can check on the house Cam and I were given while we’re up there!!!!!

Chelia: OH YEAH!!!!  Why don’t we stay at the house????!!!!

Wendy: Unfortunately we can't stay there because Cam & I donated it to the Tocoma Historical Society, so it’s no longer ours……….

Carla: Dog Gone it Child, I wish you and Cam would have been selfish at least for once!!!!

Wendy: I’m sorry………………..

Just then Carla receives a call from Manaka.

Carla: What the?  Why didn’t we think of it before????!!!!!

Ayumi: We can warp to the Under Water Kingdom!!!!!

Carla: That would be perfect!!!!!  Hopefully Manaka is okay with it.

Carla answers the call, and is shocked to see a pissed off Manaka on her end of the call from her IPad.

Manaka: I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT MIUNA, SAYU, AND I GET EVICTED FROM OUR HOME FOR 2 WEEKS!!!!!

Wendy: OH NOOOOO!!!!  YOU TOO?????!!!!!

Miuna: WAIT, YOU’VE ALSO BEEN EVICTED FOR 2 WEEKS????!!!!!

Chelia: Yes……………………

Sayu: THAT REALLY MAKES ME MAD!!!!!  I MEAN WHY NOW OF ALL TIMES????!!!!!

Wendy: I only wish I knew……………..not even Cam or Troy can do anything about it…………..

Ayumi: Neither can the Mayor………………

Manaka: Unfortunately Princess Erika has to comply too……………

Helmsley: Which is why all of you will be sent to the hotel, Cam, Troy, Princess Erika, and the rest of us in the resistance stayed at in Tocoma until it’s safe to return.

Ramsley: Your check out date is on Friday December 8th at 1:00 p.m.

Poe: You’ll all be safe there!!!

Helsmley: Ramsley and Poe will go with you while Finn and I stay behind oversee everything.

Carla: Very well…………Let’s go girls…………the sooner we leave here, the sooner we can return……………

Manaka: I’m right behind you Carla…………….

And like that, all of the girls teleport from both the Royal Castle and Underwater Kingdom’s Royal Palace, and warp to the Tocoma Haraseeket Inn along with Poe and Ramsley.
Finn and Helmsley check in with Cam, Herbie, and Johnny 5 to give them updates as they meet up in Main Street USA Town Square.

Finn: We did it Your Royal Highness!!!!

Helsmley: It wasn’t easy, but we got the girls out of there!!!!

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!  How did it go????

Finn: Carla threw a fit, Wendy actually cried, Chelia fought to stay, but they all relented in the end.

Helmsley: Manaka wasn’t happy at all, and neither were Miuna and Sayu, but they knew they had to listen.

Cam: I didn’t mean to make Wendy cry, and it breaks my heart whenever that happens…………

Finn: She’ll be alright.  She’ll be much happier again when she sees you on her birthday…………….

Helmsley: And the wonderful Holiday Celebration you’re throwing here!!!!

Johnny 5: Well with the girls out, it’s time to send in our reinforcements!!!!!!

Back at the castle, the fake building safety inspector gets out of his fake uniform and puts on his overalls.

Fake Safety Inspector: Alright, I’m ready when you are!!!!!

Johnny 5: ALRIGHT MEN, TIME TO WORK ON THE CASTLE AND UNDER WATER PALACE!!!!!!!

Workmen don’t hesitate to set to work on decorating the royal castle.  Ladders are put up all around the castle, and scaffolding goes up in no time.
Down in the underwater kingdom, the large glass doors open, a boat full of divers goes out to the palace, and all the divers set to work on putting up the water proof Christmas LED Lights.

Cam: Alright with this being done, it’s time for me to get my hands dirty and help out on the trains!!!!!

Dorion and Haji show up with Artemus Gordon.

Dorin: Hey Cam!!!!

Haji: Glad we caught you just in time!!!!

Artemus Gordon: We’ve built replicas of your siblings Johnny 5!!!!!

Dorin: And they’re all ready to help on your command!!!!!

Johnny 5: ALRIGHT!!!!!  TIME TO REALLY BE OF SERVICE!!!!!!
One by one, Johnny 5’s robot siblings Numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 show up with tool boxes on their backs saluting Johnny 5 showing him that they’re ready to work and follow his orders.

Johnny 5: Alright my fellow bots!!!!!  TIME TO GET TO WORK, AND HELP PUT UP THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!!!!!

Cam: Alright Herbie, see if you can find your fellow living Stumpfel Volkswagen Beetle Friends to come in and help.

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP!!!!!

Cam gets out of Herbie as Herbie drives away honking the SOS.

Cam: IT’S TIME TO BUILD THIS CITY ON ROCK & ROLL AGAIN EVERYONE!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKyhP7dWGhE

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!

A beautifully restored pearl white 1963 VW Ragtop Beetle just like Herbie hears the SOS, responds to the call, starts up his engine, and drives after him.

White Beetle: BEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEP!!!!!  BEEEEEEP, BEEEEP, BEEEEEP!!!!!!!!

Cam: AWESOME!!!!  Herbie’s already picked up a friend!!!!
Anyways, time for me to help out the crews, and get working on the steam trains.

Cam makes his way over to the railroad’s break room, and changes into his overalls.
Meanwhile Herbie continues honking the SOS to recruit more of his friends to join in and help.

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

A beautifully restored beige 1965 VW Beetle joins into help, and soon a Red 1966 VW Beetle hops on the band wagon.

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

2 more VW Beetles, one from 1971, and one from 1974 drive off a used car lot and respond to the call for help.

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

The more Herbie honks the SOS, the more VW Beetles join into help with the Christmas decorating.
Garage doors of homes out in the suburbs open, and multiple VW Beetles show up like a swarm of bees.

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

More VW Beetles join into help.  One drives away from a Valet Parking Attendant at The Paradise Bay Hotel.

Valet Parking Attendant: HEY!!!!!

Another drives out of an impound, a beautiful one painted in flowers drives out of a drive-in movie theater, and another drives off the top of a HUGE pile of scrapped cars and out of the junk yard.
Soon Herbie has all the help he needs, and his Beetle Army wastes no time in getting to work in helping out with the Christmas decorating.
After changing into his overalls, Cam climbs into Myrtle Number #3’s cab and catches Engineer Phil for his break.

Cam: Alrighty Phil, break time!!!!

Phil: Thanks bud!!!!  

Cam then checks on the conductor’s list of what to pick up.

Cam: YIKES, A run to Eatonville to pick up more wreathes, garlands, ribbons, tinsel strands 2 parade floats.  Well, no time to waste, so lets go!!!!!

Mike: I’ll open her up man!!!!

Cam: We’re gonna have a heavy load to pick up!!!!  

Mike: And with Roger E. Broggie out of service for an overhaul, this is now our most powerful engine!!!!

Cam: This and the Emma Nevada Replica if you don’t count the C-19s, which aren't really ours.

Mike: Let’s hope this engine holds together!!!!

Cam: Yeah, but don’t jynx anything!!!!!

Soon Cam and Mike have Myrtle and her train underway as they head off to Eatonville to pick up more supplies.
Day 1 is off to a good start, but the work is only gonna get harder the closer December 8th rolls around.

A Happily Ever After Christmas 2 Empty Re: A Happily Ever After Christmas 2

Time To Haul In The Christmas Trees

2 Days have passed since the decorating of Grand Bay Lake has gone underway.  Everyone is even harder at work getting all the decorations and lighting in place.
Restaurants and bakeries are busy baking new cookies, gingerbread men, and cakes.
Both the Royal Castle and underwater place look better and better every day as icicles, ornaments, and LED blankets are laid into place.
The insides of the Royal Castle, Underwater Kingdom’s Palace, Notre Dame De Royal Cathedral, and all the hotels are soon fully decorated in ornaments, garlands, ribbons, wreathes, tinsel, Christmas Lights,  giant stuffed teddy bears, Giant Toy Soldiers and Nutcrackers, model train layouts with Christmas Steam Trains running on them, gingerbread houses, and snow globes, but something is missing, and they’re VERY IMPORTANT somethings!!!!!

Cam: Alrighty, we’ve got almost everything we need up, but we’re missing the BIG THINGS that are important, and those would be the Christmas Trees!!!!!
Now where would I find a forest full of Pine Trees, Fir Trees, Silver Tips, and Spruce????!!!!

Dorion: Unfortunately you’d have to travel north to the Frozen Tundra in order to get good Pine Trees, Noble and Douglas Fir Trees, Silver Tips, and Spruce Trees.

Haji: And the only way to travel there is by train……………….

Cam: It helps that the line between Grand Bay Lake and Elbe have been connected since the fall of King Drago and Queen Xayide, but it would have been nice to add roads………….
Looks like we’re gonna have to doublehead Engine Number#5 the Ward Kimball with Engine Number #3 Myrtle, and both C-19s in order to haul the heavy trees.  Emma Nevada Number #2 will have to haul a short train of small Christmas Trees.  C.K. Holliday Number #1, and Eureka Number #4 will have to continue hauling cargo since they don’t have the strength or proper weight distribution over the drive wheels to haul the heavy trees.

Big Joe: That sounds like the only solid plan we have!!!!  If we still had Roger E. Broggie Number #7, then Emma Nevada could doublehead with her.

Eric Heffernan: Too bad she had to give out the ghost just before the most critical time!!!!

Robert: I’ll say!!!!

Cam: I’ll take Engine #5 with Jason since she’s my favorite as well as Princess Wendy’s.

Rob: She goes out of service tomorrow for a boiler wash and new coat of paint, so enjoy her while you can!!!!

Eric Heffernan: I’ll Take Emma Nevada with Charlie since she won’t have to work too hard.

Big Joe: I’ll take lead C-19 Number #29 with John Goss since that engine’s a powerhouse.

Robert: I’ll take Myrtle Number #3 with  Steven.

Tom: Looks like Doug and I will be on C-19 Number #352.

Jonathan Bromudez: I’ll be on C.K. Holliday with Ryan Briggs.

Phil: And that leaves me on Eureka Number #4 with Mark.

Cam: Herbie, once we get back we’re gonna need you and your friends to tow the trees to their rightful places.

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP!!!!!

Cam: Johnny 5, you’re in charge around here whenever I'm not around!!!!

Johnny 5: YES SIR!!!!!

Cam: Dorion Haji, I’ll need you 2 on my train, Jim West and Artemus Gordon I’ll need you 2 on the train hauled by the doubleheader of C-19s, and Helsmley and Finn you’ll be on Emma Nevada’s Train.
Jonathan and Phil you 2 should depart first and get a head start.

Jonathan Bromudez: Sounds good!!!!

Phil: We’re on it!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msUShf3B3Hk

The 2 small freight trains bound for Eatonville depart Main Street Station while one by one, Ward Kimball Number #5 couples up to the front of Myrtle Number #3 before they couple up to an empty string of flat cars.
C-19 2-8-0 Consolidation Robert C. Gray Number #29 couples up to the front of C-19 2-8-0 Consolidation Number #352 before they back onto an empty string of flat cars.
Emma Nevada Number #2 backs onto a small string of flat cars and gondolas for smaller Christmas Trees 10 feet and shorter.
Then one by one, all 3 empty Christmas Tree Trains steam out of the railroad yard, and onto the main line enroute to the Frozen Tundra.
Unfortunately due to Number #5’s smaller water capacity, she has to stop to take on water in both Paradise Bay, and again in Elbe.
However all the other engines take advantage of this and have their water levels topped off as well.  Better to be safe than sorry. LOL!!!
Also when in Elbe all 3 trains had to wait on a siding for the 2 small fast freight trains to pass.  Given that they haul Christmas Presents and supplies, it doesn’t take long for them to load and go.
Jonathan and Phil in C.K. Holliday and Eureka soon highball pass the 3 empty Christmas Tree trains, as they make their way back to Grand Bay Lake with their train cars full of presents and decorations.

Jonathan Bromudez: Hello again you guys!!!!

Phil: Did you guys just get here????!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: Yeah, yeah, you show offs!!!!! LOL!!!!

Once after C.K. Holliday, and Eureka pass, the 3 empty Christmas Tree Trains resume their trip to the Frozen Tundra.  Fortunately weather up in the Frozen Tundra wasn’t too bad, but it’s a VERY LONG hike to get to the Christmas trees.
Ward Kimball Number #5 and Myrtle reach the top of the highest point in the Frozen Tundra, while the 2 C-19s stop just a few yards behind them, and Emma Nevada stops just behind the C-19s.

Cam: Dorion, Haji, Artemus, Jim, Helmsley, and Finn, please help our workmen find these Pine, Fir, and Spruce Trees.

Dorion: No problem Sir!!!!

Artemus Gordon: I’ve got some of the best chain saws ever built!!!!

Haji: Titanium axes too!!!!

Eric Heffernan: Well, if we wanna top off the water, lets just shovel snow into the water tanks, but use the chemical treatment to be safe!!!!

Robert: Hey, sounds like a good idea!!!!

Big Joe: I’m down for that!!!!

The train crews gather a bunch of snow, and shove it in the locomotives’ water tanks while workmen set out to find beautiful Christmas trees.
Hours pass, and the workmen search long and hard until……………

Dorion: THERE IT IS!!!!!

Artemus Gordon: Now that is a nice thick forest!!!!

Jim West: And those look like PERFECT CHRISTMAS TREES!!!!!

Finn: One problem!!!!

Helmsley: What will that be????!!!!

Finn: HOW THE HELL ARE WE GONNA LUG ALL THESE TREES BACK TO THE TRAINS???????!!!!!!

Haji: I never thought about that………….

Dorion: That is a good point………….

Jim West: The smaller trees 10 feet and shorter are small enough for us to carry back to the trains, so why don’t we start with those????!!!!

Dorion: Works for me!!!!

Helmsley: Why don’t we call Twilight, Celestia, Luna, and Cadence to help???!!!!  It won’t take em long????!!!!!

Finn: I was thinking about bringing Herbie and some his friends to help!!!!

Haji: That could take too much time, and besides Herbie and his friends are busy enough as they are.

Jim West: What about the helicopters???!!!!!

Artemus Gordon: The wind conditions are too unpredictable here, and just one change in wind pressure is enough to blow one off course, and that could lead to disaster!!!!

Helmsley calls up Celestia, and Celestia doesn’t hesitate to answer.

Celestia: Hello Helmsley, I wasn’t expecting a call from you!!!!

Helmsley: Hello Celestia!!!  Would Luna, Twilight, and Cadence be with you?

Twilight: Sure we are!!!!

Cadence: What’s up???

Finn: We’re out in the Frozen Tundra and need your help!!!!

Luna: WHAT????!!!!!  Why would you be all the way out there????!!!!!

Jim West: Ya see, we’re trying to haul some Christmas Trees back to our trains, but the thing is, the train is at least 2 miles away from us, and there’s no way we can haul some of these large Christmas trees back to the train without help!!!

Twilight: Christmas Trees????!!!!!  What the heck is a Christmas Tree????!!!!

Artemus Gordon: I forgot, you girls weren’t at the Town Meeting last month?

Cadence: Town Meeting???!!!!  I didn’t know there was one!!!!!

Celestia: Probably because we were out of town visiting our friends in Equestria.

Cadence: Can’t you ask Herbie to help???!!!

Dorion: It would take too much time given that it would take over 2 and a half hours to take one of our trains back to Grand Bay Lake to go get Herbie, and another 2 and a half hours to bring him back here.

Haji: Besides Herbie and his fellow Stumpfel VW Beetle friends are busy enough as they are helping out with the holiday decorations in town.

Artemus Gordon: We could call the helicopters for help, but the wind conditions here in the tundra are too unpredictable to safely fly them around here at lower altitudes closer to the ground during this time of year.

Luna: Well, we don’t really have anything to do with the new lock downs in place.

Twilight: Holiday Decorations?  This I gotta see!!!!!

Celestia: Well, I guess it won’t hurt!!!  Lets put on our gear and head out girls!!!!

Cadence: Alright!!!!  We’ll be right over to help as soon as possible!!!!

Twilight, Luna, Celestia, and Cadence end the call before putting on their winter gear, and fly out of the Royal Equestrian.
While in flight all 4 of the alicorns notice the scaffolding all over the place along with all the beautiful Christmas Decorations and LED Lights being put up.

Twilight: WOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

Celestia: WOW, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT????!!!!!!

Luna: IT’S NOT LIKE ANYTHING I’VE EVER SEEN BEFORE!!!!!

Cadence: THIS IS AMAZING!!!!

Twilight: I guess this explains the lockdowns!!!!!  

Cadence: HEY LOOK THERE’S HERBIE!!!!  HEY HERBIE!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEP, BEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

Twilight: LOOK HERBIE HAS SOME FRIENDS HELPING HIM OUT!!!!!

Celestia: THEY'RE SUCH CUTE LITTLE DARLINGS!!!!!!

Twilight: I KNOW!!!!  IT’S SO CUTE watching them haul in all the stuff with their tiny little bodies and hearing their tiny engines working hard.

Luna: There’s Johnny 5, and it looks like he has some friends helping him out too!!!!

Cadence: HEY JOHNNY 5!!!!!!!

Johnny 5: HEY LADIES!!!!!

As Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Cadence make their way over to the Frozen Tundra, Dorion, Haji, Jim West, Artemus Gordon, Helmsley, and Finn are hard at work chopping down all the small trees 10 feet and shorter, and lugging them onto Emma Nevada’s Train.
After an hour and a half of chopping down, and loading the small trees onto Emma Nevada’s Train, the small train is ready to head off for home.

Eric Heffernan: Alright, let’s just top off our water, one more time, and go home!!!

Charlie: Sounds good!!!!

Eric Heffernan and Charlie waste no time in shoveling snow into Emma Nevada’s water tank.  They then pour some chemical water treatment, and set off for home.

Finn: I’ll return home to help unload the small train!!!  Helmsley, you stay behind and guide Celestia and the other Alicorns.

Helmsley: No problem!!!!

Finn hops back on Emma Nevada’s Train just in time.

Eric Heffernan: ALRIGHT!!!!  LET’S GO HOME!!!!

Emma Nevada then leaves the Frozen Tundra by backing her train down the mountain of the Frozen Tundra.  Once back in Elbe, the Emma Nevada Number #2 backs around on a wye to face the right direction.  Going forward again, Emma Nevada hauls her train back home to Grand Bay Lake.
Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Cadence soon arrive in the Frozen Tundra and are completely taking it back when the snow starts falling.

Celestia: OH, MY WORD!!!!

Luna: IT’S STARTING TO GET BAD!!!!

Twilight: LET’S HOPE WE’RE NOT HERE FOR TOO LONG!!!!

Cadence: HEY GUYS!!!!

Dorion: HEY CELESTIA, DOWN HERE!!!!!

Twilight: WOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!  THOSE THINGS ARE HUGE!!!!!

Luna: THEY WANT US TO HELP HAUL THOSE THINGS????!!!!!!

Celestia: Well, we did offer to help, so no going back now!!!

Cadence: I have no intention on going back!!!!

Luna: Neither do I!!!!

Twilight: IT’s now or never, so lets help em out as best as we can!!!!

Artemus Gordon: Alright you guys, we have our help, so it’s time to cut down the big trees, but don’t go ANY Taller than 45 feet until we get Cam’s help.

Workmen begin chopping down all the big trees ranging from 15 to 45 feet.
Soon, Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Cadence haul each large Christmas Tree back to the trains one by one, and soon they’re all loaded onto the trains, except four VERY LONG flat cars are left empty for the VERY BIG Christmas Tree for Main Street’s Town Square.

Dorion: Alrighty, now which Tree should we choose for Town Square?

Cam: Best I go with you guys this time!!!
Jason, take care of Number #5, while I’m gone, and if we get low on water, keep shoveling snow into the water tank, but don’t forget the chemical treatment.

Jason: No problem!!!!

Cam joins Dorion, Haji, and the rest of the gang out to the forest.  They search high and low, and soon they find a beautiful 80 foot tall Christmas Tree.

Cam: NOW THAT IS PERFECT!!!!!!

Twilight: IT’S HUGE!!!!

Celestia: We may have been able to help pull the other trees, but this one…………

Luna: I don’t think we can help pull this one………….

Cadence: It’d be IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

Cam: Maybe if we ALL do this together!!!!  And I do mean ALL OF US!!!!

Artemus Gordon: Alrigth Haji, are you ready????!!!!!

Haji: YEP!!!!

Artemus Gordon: ALRIGHT, LET’S CHOP THIS SON OF A BITCH DOWN!!!!!

Haji: WITH PLEASURE!!!!!

Artemus Gordon and Haji set to work on cutting down the MASSIVE and in no time the massive tree falls over with a VERY LOUD………………

TIMBERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

Cam: OUT OF THE WAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone moves away from the falling tree as fast as they can before it hits the ground VERY HARD with a…………………………

BANNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG, CRASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH, KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM, KABLEMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As powdered snow and pine needles blow EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cam: WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!  THAT WAS A GOOD ONE!!!!!!!!!

Artemus Gordon and Haji were not so happy……………….

Artemus Gordon: YUCK!!!!!!!  I AM COVERED IN SAP!!!!!!

Haji: AND I GOT COVERED IN SNOW!!!!!!!

Celestia: Well, let’s haul this thing out of here!!!!

Cam: And let’s do it ALL TOGETHER EVERYONE!!!!!!

Everyone then anchors the MASSIVE tree with chains and ropes before hauling the EXTREMELY heavy tree out of the forest and over to the train.
After over an hour of hauling the tree out of the forest, the tree finally makes its way over to the back of the train hauled by the double Headed C-19s.

Cam: Alright, now to get this thing on top of those flat cars!!!!!

Big Joe: THERE IS NO WAY THIS THING WILL FIT ON THE CURVES ONCE WE REACH GRAND BAY LAKE!!!!!

Cam: We’ll have to call for a truck to take it!!!!!

Robert: Once we get to Grand Bay Lake, back it up over the switch, and push the train to Paradise Bay Station in reverse.  Once there, have the truck take the tree from there!!!!

Steven: That should work!!!!

John Goss: Sounds like the only way to do it!!!!

Tom: I don’t see any other way!!!!!

Doug: Neither Do I!!!!!

Cam: We’ll unload our train at the grade crossing on Rodeo Drive by the Resort Strip.

Jason: That way Herbie and his friends can get the trees to where they need to go!!!!

Big Joe: AWESOME!!!!  That sounds like a good plan!!!!


Cam: Alright, Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Cadence, you fly over the train and lift the tree from above, while us one the ground will lift it from below!!!!

Celestia: Sounds good!!!!!

Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Cadence put on harnesses before they fly above the tree while Cam, Jason, Robert, Steven, Big Joe, John Goss, Tom, Doug,  Dorion, Haji, Artemus Gordon, Jim West, Helmsley, and Conductors Ruben and Justin all put on their gloves, and place their hands on the tree.

Cam: ALRIGHT, LET’s GET THIS THING OFF THE GROUND!!!!!

Big Joe: 1, 2, 3…………………….

John Goss: HEAVE………………….

Lifting with ALL THEIR MIGHT, everyone slowly but surely lifts the giant Christmas Tree off the ground.  Slowly and carefully they then successfully lift the tree onto the flat cars, and tie it down just as a nasty snow storm hits.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!!  LET’S GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!

Big Joe: IT’S STARTING TO GET BAD!!!!!!

Everyone gets back on the trains, as Cam, Robert, Big Joe, and Tom set to work on shoveling snow into the locomotives’ water tanks, and add the chemical water treatment.
In no time, all 4 engines had their water tanks topped off and ready to go.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!!  NUMBER #5 IS READY TO GO!!!!!

Robert: SO IS MYRTLE!!!!!!

Big Joe: NUMBER #29’s READY!!!!!

Tom: AND SO ARE WE!!!!!!

The 2 trains give 3 blasts on the whistle, back down the mountain into Elbe, turn around on a wye, and head home to Grand Bay Lake.
It is dark by the time the 2 large and fully loaded Christmas Tree trains reach Grand Bay Lake.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPxWIOz6EZM

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!  WE’RE GOING AHEAD TO THE CROSSING ON RODEO DRIVE!!!!

Ward Kimball Number #5 and Myrtle Number #3 haul their train over the switch and back onto the Grand Bay Lake Railroad’s main line before steaming around the city over to the grade crossing by Rodeo Drive.
The Double Headed C-19s haul their MASSIVE Christmas Tree Train over the switch back onto the Grand Bay Lake Railroad’s main line until the caboose at the very rear clears it.

Conductor Justin: ALRIGHT!!!!  YOU’RE CLEAR OF THE SWITCH!!!!

Big Joe: ALRIGHT!!!!  LET’S BACK IT UP!!!!

The 2 Large C-19 locomotives back their train up over the switch, and push their train back onto the Grand Bay Lake Railroad’s Main line in reverse as they make their way down to Paradise Bay Station.
A bunch of large 18 wheeler trucks are waiting in Paradise Bay Station while Herbie and his fellow Volkswagen Friends are waiting at the grade crossing on Rodeo Drive.

Big Joe: ALRIGHT, THERE ARE TRUCKS!!!!!

Cam: ALRIGHTY, THERE’S HERBIE AND HIS FRIENDS!!!!!!

Wasting no time workmen set to work on unloading the massive train in Paradise Bay while Herbie and his friends set to work on helping unload the train at the crossing on Rodeo Drive.

One by one, each Christmas Tree is hauled into its rightful place in the Royal Castle, the Underwater Kingdom, each hotel, each shopping center, each restaurant, Notre Dame De Royal, and Town Square.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!  LOOKING GOOD!!!!!!!!

Celestia: Now, would you mind telling us what’s going on?

Cam: Oh yeah, you girls were in Canterlot while the town meeting occurred last month.
Let give you the whole run down……………

Cam then tells Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Cadence his plans on bringing the Holiday Season from his world to the Magical City of Grand Bay Lake, and how he, Troy, and Princess Erika felt bad about Carla, Wendy, Chelia, and the rest of their friends having not celebrated the holiday season before in their lives…………..
He then shows them pictures and videos of all the holiday decorations, attractions, and night time shows that are to come………………
He then tells them the main reason behind it…………

Cam: The thing is, back in the world Troy, Princess Erika, and I come from, this is a VERY SPECIAL time of year because the holiday season is about love, spending time with those you love and care about the most, and treasuring every moment you have with them.
As for the Christmas and Hanukkah Presents, yes they’re a way for the large corporations to make money for profit, but they’re a way of showing your loved ones how much they really matter to you.  It’s out of love and caring for those important for you.

Celestia, Luna, Twilight, & Cadence: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Cam: Troy, Princess Erika, and I really want to show Princesses Wendy and Chelia along with Carla, Ayumi, Nina, Manaka, Miuna, Sayu, Poe, Finn, Ramsley, Helmsley, Jim West, Artemus Gordon, Dorion, Haji, Rami, Toby, Herbie, Johnny 5, and you girls the same magic of the wonderful holiday season that those from my world get to experience every winter.
It literally makes Troy, Princess Erika, and I very sad to know that none of you have had the chance to experience this, and it’s time we change that for good!!!!!

Celestia: AMAZING!!!!!!!

Cadence: You really are very pure hearted Cam…………

Twilight: This is the sweetest thing I’ve heard from you………………

Luna: It’s thoughts and actions like this that make you the wonderful King that you are……………..

Celestia: You have a beautiful heart Cam, and for that I want you to promise us one thing……………..

Cadence: And that is to please not change the sweet and caring person that you are.  Many of us here in the Magic Kingdom love you very much because of your kind heart, and we’d hate to lose you……………..

Cam: I promise you that I have no intention of changing who I am…………….

Johnny 5: HEY CAM!!!!  I just want to let you know that everything is coming along very well.

Cam: THAT’S GREAT!!!!!

Johnny 5: YEP!!!!!  All the lights are up, the castle is well underway to completion as is the Underwater Kingdom, and Notre Dame De Royal!!!!!

Cam: THAT’S AWESOME!!!!!!!!  WAY TO GO JOHNNY 5!!!!!!

Johnny 5: HEY, I’M GLAD TO BE OF SERVICE!!!!!!!

Just then the mayor walks up to Cam to give him some bad news.

Mayor: Cam, we have a serious problem here!!!!!

Cam: UH-OH!!!!!  Just as things are going well, something always has to go wrong!!!!!!
What is it that’s clustering a cluster?

Mayor: Well the good news is that all the Christmas Trees are in the rightful places that they’re supposed to be…………..

Cam: Yes, so?

Mayor: The bad news is………………….we’re unable to put em up………………

Cam: WHAT THE?????!!!!!!!!!  HEY WHY AREN’T THERE ANY CHRISTMAS TREE STANDS!!!!!!!

Workman: SORRY YOUR HIGHNESS, THE SHIPMENT WAS BACKED UP GIVEN THAT THE STANDS WERE ON BACK ORDER, AND SO THEY DON’T COME IN UNTIL THE 7TH ALONG WITH THE ORDER OF FAKE CHRISTMAS TREES AND LED CHRISTMAS TREES!!!!!!

Cam: OH FLYIN FUCKEN SHIT!!!!!!!

TO BE CONTINUED…………………

A Happily Ever After Christmas 2 Empty Re: A Happily Ever After Christmas 2

Post  Camaro_Von_Ludwig Thu Dec 31, 2020 5:38 am

Chapter 11

Disaster With Notre Dame De Royal’s Organist!

Workmen continue working around the clock ALL OVER the Magical City Of Grand Bay Lake, but it doesn’t stop there.  Notre Dame De Royal on top of Mount Royal is also preparing for the Holiday Season.  In the history of Christianity including the Catholic Church, Christmas is a VERY BIG DEAL given that it celebrates the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Notre Dame De Royal is eager to share that with the Magical City Of Grand Bay Lake.
The choirs rehearse Christmas songs non-stop around the clock as do the pianist, orchestra, the royal army’s brass quintet, the kettle drummists, and the guitarists.
Bishop Robert and Pastor Father Christopher Smith are also busy working on their sermons.
But there’s one major big problem; in fact it’s so big that music director John is literally having a heart attack over it.

John: It is terrible, just TERRIBLE!!!!!

Bishop Robert: John, what’s wrong????!!!!  What is it that’s so wrong?

Father Christopher: Yes, please tell us what’s bothering you!!!!

John: The music is a disaster!!!!!

Bishop Robert: What are you talking about; it sounds AMAZING!!!!

John: NO IT’S A REAL DISASTER BECAUSE…………………….

Father Christopher: Because of what, John?

John: BECAUSE THE ORGAN IS MISSING FROM THE MUSIC ENSEMBLE!!!!!

Bishop Robert: Now that you mention it, the pipe organ has been rather silent lately…………..

Father Christopher: And the music ensemble does sound incomplete without the organ, which consists of over 20,000 pipes.

John: EXACTLY!!!!!!  THE MUSIC IS A DISASTER BECAUSE IT’S IMCOMPLETE, BECAUSE THE ORGAN IS MISSING FROM IT BECAUSE DAVID THE ORGANIST HAS GONE ON VACATION AND WON’T BE BACK UNTIL AFTER THE NEW YEARS!!!!!!

Bishop Robert & Father Christopher: UH-OH!!!!

Bishop Robert: That is a problem!!!!

Father Christopher: We can’t have a Christmas Eve Mass without the organ!!!!

Bishop Robert: NOOOOO, it just wouldn’t be right!!!!!

Father Christopher: Would either of you know where we can find another organist in time?

John: Not that I know of………………

Bishop Robert: Come to think of it I don’t think so either……………….

Then John remembers when Cam and Troy sang a hymn from David Haas, and then recalls one of them being able to play the organ no problem…………..

John: Wait a minute………………Either his Royal Highness Trojan or Camaro Von Ludwig might help us out!!!!!  One of them is an organist!!!!!

Bishop Robert: WONDERFUL!!!!!  I will give Cam a call right now!!!!!

Cam is busy going over numbers at Von Ludwig Headquarters when he receives the call from Bishop Robert.

Cam: What the, Robert????!!!!!  It’s not like him to call during this time!!!  I wonder what’s up!!!!

Cam answers the phone right away.

Cam: Hey Robert, what’s up???!!!!

Bishop Robert: Hi CAM!!!!  I was wondering what time you’d be coming to Grand Bay Lake?

Cam: It’s about 11:00 O-Clock right now in my world, and I’m off work at 2:00 O-Clock, so I can be there in about 4 hours.

Bishop Robert: WONDERFUL!!!!!  Would you mind stopping by the Cathedral this afternoon?  There are some things we’d like to discuss with you if you don’t mind.

Cam: Sure, no problem!!!!

Bishop Robert: WONDERFUL!!!!  There is one more question I’d like to ask before you get back to work………….

Cam: Okay, and what would that be?

Bishop Robert: You or your brother wouldn’t happen to be organists would you?

Cam: YES!!!!  Troy not so much because he could never get the hang of the instrument, but for me it’s no problem!!!!

Bishop Robert: WONDERFUL!!!!!

Cam: Why do you ask???!!!!

Bishop Robert: We’re in a bit of bind at the moment, but we’ll explain when you get here, okay?

Cam: Alright, sounds like a plan.

Cam then ends the call but is puzzled on why Bishop Robert would ask him if he’s an organist.

Cam: That’s weird?  No one’s ever asked me if I was an organist in a VERY LONG time, and I haven’t played the organ since……………..well March when at Notre Dame De Royal.  Although I have played at recitals on concert hall pipe organs, and played a couple of times on Christ Cathedral’s Arboretum Fred Swan Organ as well as the pipe organ at Mission San Diego, but I really haven’t done much in recent years.
I guess I’ll find out……….

After Cam gets off work, he warps his way over to Grand Bay Lake as fast as he can.
After arriving in Main Street Town Square he soon sees Herbie.

Cam: Alright Herbie, I’ll need to borrow you for an hour.  Bishop Robert wants me to report to Notre Dame, and I need reliable transportation there.

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP!!!!

Herbie opens his driver door before Cam hops in, and Herbie takes off for Mount Royal where Bishop Robert, Father Christopher Smith, and Music Director John are waiting.

Bishop Robert: Alright, it’s 4:00 O-Clock, and his Royal Highness Cam said he should be here any minute.

Soon Bishop Robert, Father Christopher, and music director John hear a familiar car horn.

Herbie: BEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

Herbie soon drives through the massive doors into the Cathedral before stopping just in front of the altar and shutting off his engine.

Bishop Robert: And there he is!!!!  Glad you could make it Cam!!!!

Cam: Always happy to help in anyway I can.  So what is it I can help you with?

John: I remember you playing for us while you and your twin sang a hymn from David Haas months ago, and was wondering……………

Cam: If I could play you guys something????!!!!!  No problem!!!!!!

Cam sits down at the MIGHTY Casavant Pipe Organ’s MASSIVE 5 Manual Console, unlocks it, and turns on the organ’s computer system and blower motors.

Cam: What is it you’d like to hear?  I can go full on Toccata if you’d like, or I can go with something a little more classical, or I can play another hymn.

Father Christopher: We’re open to anything…………….

Cam: I think I have something that works…………..

Cam slowly and gently begins playing Cannon D by Pachelbel, but using the same style as Organist Brenda Caldwell.  Normally most organists start off playing Cannon in D with just the deep notes of the pedal division, but Cam prefers to use the style of organist Brenda Caldwell who would start off playing Cannon In D with the string divisions on both the second from the top Antiphonal Manual (Key Board), and the bottom Choir Manual as well as the deep notes of the pedal board to give the melody more meaning and color.
He would then move his left hand from the bottom choir manual to the second from the bottom swell manual (Keyboard) as the main bit of the song slowly comes alive.
Bishop Robert, Father Christopher, and Music Director John are COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY!!!!
Herbie really likes what he’s hearing, and decides to extend his retractable antenna, and record the whole thing.

Bishop Robert: WOW!!!!

John: It’s more beautiful than I remember it!!!!

Father Christopher: We found our replacement!!!!

Cam would constantly move his hands from one manual (Keyboard) to the other whether it be the top Solo, second from the top Antiphonal, Middle Swell, the bottom Choir, or the second from the bottom Great.
However due to the nature of Cam’s preferred style of Cannon in D, the Great Organ is RARELY to almost NEVER touched.
And rather than using the popular trumpets and horns which are normally used, even in Cannon in D, Cam heavily relies on smaller reed instrument divisions such as flute, oboe, and clarinet as well as of course strings to give the organ more of a soft orchestral sound.
It is unlike any variation Bishop Robert, Father Christopher, and Music Director John have ever heard of Cannon In D before.

Bishop Robert: WOW!!!!  I am just beyond impressed!!!!!

Father Christopher: It sounds like an orchestra, but done on an organ!!!!!

John: This is by far the most unique variation I’ve ever heard of Cannon in D!!!!  Most organists heavily rely on the Great Division, but Cam has RARELY touched the Great Division!!!!  He’s mostly relying on the Swell and Antiphonal Divisions, with occasional use of the Solo and Choir Divisions!!!
He only uses the Great Division Sparingly!!!!  That’s almost unheard of!!!!

Father Christopher: Also the instruments used in the organ are not that of the popular horns and big reeds that we usually hear!!!!

Bishop Robert: EXACTLY!!!!  It’s more Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, and strings!!!!!!

John: AMAZING!!!!!

Near the end of Cannon, Cam couples, and utilizes more of the different sounds together, and finally uses more of the Second from the bottom Great Manual (Key Board).

John: I spoke too soon because there’s the Great Organ!!!!

Cam then couples both the Antiphonal and Swell Divisions to the Great really bringing the organ more to life, and then couples the choir and solo Divisions to the Swell and Antiphonal Divisions via use of the piston coupler buttons just below the keys.

Father Christopher: This is just amazing!!!!

Bishop Robert: I don’t know where to start!!!!

John: I just love how he’s coupled all the divisions!!!!!

Cam then slowly wraps up Canon mainly using the Great Division before moving his hands to the Swell, Choir, and Solo Divisions, until bringing it all to a gentle ending using the Antiphonal Manual coupled with the String Divisions.
Once Cam closes up the tone ranged pedals, Herbie retracts his antenna after recording the whole thing from start to finish.
Bishop Robert, Father Christopher, and Music Director John are left speechless.

John: I do not know where to start except………………

Cam: If you think that is impressive, I can play this in my sleep.

Cam then opens up a few more stops on the Great Organ, and begins playing the Great Organ hard and fast by just lightly tapping the keys before he begins playing the melody on the Pedal Organ using his feet as he performs Leon Boellman's famous Gothic Suit Toccata.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0Fj3UD8gBI

John: WOW!!!!!  I have heard a Toccata before, but NEVER the Gothic Suite Toccata by Leon Boellman!!!!

As Cam opens up the wind chests more before stomping on more notes of the pedal board, EVERYONE feels the powerful rumble of the MIGHTY Casavant, Ruffatti, Tamburini, and Walker Pipe Organ.

Bishop Robert: WOW!!!!  THAT IS JUST AMAZING!!!!!

As Cam continues playing, more and more stops are pulled on the Great Organ, more and more organs are coupled together via the piston couplers on the manuals, and the more powerful the organ really sounds causing EVERYONE'S jaws to hit the ground.

Father Christopher Smith: OH MY GOD!!!!  

The more and more Cam plays the Gothic Suite Toccata, the harder and faster he plays, and the harder and faster he plays the more stops are pulled out and the more organs are coupled, until all 5 manuals including the Solo, Antiphonal, Swell, Great, and Choir Organs are coupled together along with the Pedal Board really bringing the MIGHTY Casavant Organ to life filling the Sanctuary with its thunderous voice.

John: THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

Bishop Robert: I KNOW!!!!  JUST WATCH HOW HE'S MAINLY USING HIS FEET TO PLAY THE MUSIC!!!!!

Everyone is blown away by the fact that in a Toccata, the main piece of the music is played using the pedal board via the feet while the hands on the keyboard manuals only follow, and how Cam is able to do it all no problem.  To Cam this is something he has been doing as long as he's been an organist.  Cam soon wraps up the Toccata as he plays harder and faster and opening up all the stops on the organ really making it sing before slamming down hard on the keys and pedal board repeatedly.  He then slams down hard on the keys and pedal board one final time REALLY making everyone feel the power of the the thunder coming from the MIGHTY Casavant Pipe Organ as all 20,000 plus pipes shake the building.

Cam: BOO & YAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

John: THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!

Bishop Robert: YOU SURE BLEW ME AWAY!!!!

Cam: And now I will play another ALL TIME FAVORITE of mine!!!  This one is a Classic!!!!

Cam pulls out A LOT of the stops on the Great Division, and immediately sets to work on playing Trumpet Tunes & Air In D by Henry Purcell.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6QJ2UQqzZI

He then pulls out the stops for the beautiful Trumpet En-Chamades on the Solo, Antiphonal, and Great Divisions, and really gives Trumpet Tunes its signature sound.

Father Christopher: WOW!!!!

John: You can't have Trumpet Tunes without the trumpets and Cam has it nailed!!!!

Cam isn't even using sheet music to play Trumpet Tunes In D, he's playing it all by memory which blows everyone away even more.

Bishop Robert: HE'S NOT EVEN USING SHEET MUSIC FOR THIS ONE!!!!

Father Christopher: UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

Everyone practically watches Cam as his feet practically dance on the pedal board, and how Cam's hands change from playing one manual (Keyboard) to another between the Great, Antiphonal, and Solo Divisions.  The Trumpet En Chamades literally dance as Cam blasts the heck out of em in both Fratelli Ruffatti Transept Organs, the Giant Casavant West Gallery Organ, the Tamburini Choir Organ in the East Chancel, and Walker Digital Nave Organ.

John: Hearing those BEAUTIFUL Trumpet En Chamades is magic!!!!

Bishop Robert: I feel the same way!!!

Father Christopher: I've never heard them sing like that in a VERY LONG time!!!!

Cam then wraps up the piece by pulling out all the stops and hammering down hard on the keys of the Great, Antiphonal, and Pedal Divisions for all the beautiful Trumpet En-Chamades and Reeds.  This really seals the deal for Father Christopher and Bishop Robert.

Father Christopher: We have found our replacement organist!!!!!

Bishop Robert: WONDERFUL!!!!!

Cam: Okay, what’s up???!!!!!

John: You’re the perfect replacement organist!!!!!!

Cam: WOAH, WOAH, WOAH!!!!!!  I don’t have time to be the full time Organist here………….

Bishop Robert: OH NO, It’s not full time.  We understand your busy schedule, so it’s only for temporary.

Cam: Okay?

John: The thing is, we’re in a bit of a bind………..

Bishop Robert: Our Christmas Music is sounding AMAZING so far!!!!

Father Christopher: We have our wonderful choir, the Royal Army’s AMAZING Brass quintet, our beautiful orchestra, our outstanding kettle drummists, our gorgeous piano, and our guitarists.  However………………..

John: However, our Organist David is out of town on vacation until after New Years.
This means we don’t have an organist for our VERY FIRST Christmas Eve Mass!!!!
IT IS A DISASTER!!!!!!!

Bishop Robert: And Christmas Music without the organ wouldn’t be right…………..

Father Christopher: It’s incomplete…………

Bishop Robert: EXACTLY!!!!!

John: And we can’t have our VERY FIRST Christmas Eve Mass WITHOUT the organ!!!!

Bishop Robert: So we called you here because you’re the only replacement organist we can get ahold of in such short notice.

Father Christopher: And if we can’t have the organ, we can’t have Christmas Eve Mass……….it just wouldn’t be right……………

John: So we ask you?  Would you be willing to fill in for David for Christmas Eve Mass????!!!!!

Cam: I would be honored!!!!!

Bishop Robert: WONDERFUL!!!!!

Father Christopher: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

John: THANK YOU!!!!!  YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO US!!!!!!

Cam: Hey, no problem!!!!!  I rarely have time to play the organ these days, so it would be great!!!!!!!

John: WONDERFUL!!!! Here is the list of what we'll be using!!!!!

Cam: Alright, let's have a look................

Cam goes over the list and doesn't like a couple things.

Cam: Alright, I am NOT a fan of using Angels We Have Heard On High for the Gloria.

John: WHAT, WHY?????!!!!!

Cam: Well, let's just say that what REALLY Makes the song so iconic and what it is, is what DRIVES ME BONKERS, and that's the ANNOYINGLY LOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGG Gloria.

John: OH??????!!!!!!!!

Cam: Yeah, so I'd like to replace it with a Gloria that is WAY more traditional, yet is fairly modern, and I have a feeling Bishop Robert would like because it's partly sung in Latin, and that's the Easter Coventry Gloria by Peter Jones.

Bishop Robert: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!??????? Partly sung in Latin???????!!!!!!! Now that I like!!!!!

Cam: It goes like this.............

Cam opens up a few reeds on the Organ's Great Division and begins playing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpvyKArQN0k

Cam:

Gloria In Excelsis Deo Et In Terra Terra Pax!!!!
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO ET IN TERRA TERRA PAX!!!!

We praise thee, we bless thee

In Excelsis Deo

We worship and Adore thee

In Excelsis Deo

We Glorify thee, we give thee thanks for thy great glory!!!!

Lord God; Heavenly King!!!!
Oh God Almighty Father!!!

Gloria In Excelsis Deo Et In Terra Terra Pax

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son
Lord God, Lamb Of God
Son Of The Father
That Taketh Away The Sins Of The Word
Have Mercy On Us

HAVE MERCY ON US!!!!

That Taketh Away The Sins Of The Word
Receive Our Prayer

RECEIVE OUR PRAYER!!!!!

That Are Sitith At The Right Hand Of The Father
Have Mercy On Us

HAVE MERCY ON US!!!!!!

Gloria In Excelsis Deo Et In Terra Terra Pax

For thou alone are the holy one...............
Thou alone are the lord...........
Thou alone are the most high JESUS CHRIST...................
WITH THE HOLY GHOST!!!!!

Cam then blasts the heck out of the organ's beautiful Trumpette En-Chamades.

Cam:

In The Glory Of God..............
The Glory Of God the father...........

Gloria In Excelsis Deo Et In Terra Terra Pax

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

After bringing the Gloria to a close EVERYONE is stunned.

Bishop Robert: WOW!!!!! THAT ONE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Father Christopher: I REALLY LIKE THAT ONE!!!!

John: It may not be as appropriate for Christmas as Angels We Have Heard On High, but it's not bad. So if that's the Gloria everyone wants then, I have no objections.

Cam: Awesome!!!! I figured you guys would like it!!!!

John: Now is there anything else we should change.

Cam: Yes, I DO NOT LIKE the Celtic Alleluia by Christopher Walker AT ALL!!!!!!

John: What's wrong with it?

Cam: It SCREAMS Novis Ordo, and is repetitive. It doesn't feel uplifting and is boring. So here is one that's WAY more modern, much easier to sing, and feels more uplifting. It's the Festival Alleluia by James Chepponis, and it's used during the Thanksgiving Festival in my world.
It goes like this.

Cam pulls out some stops for the string and flute divisions for the Bishop's incense section before blasting the heck out of the beautiful Trumpette En-Chamades, opening up some reed stops, and coupling the manuals (Keyboards) controlling both the Antiphonal and Great Divisions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnDqPw6ezkE

Cam:

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia........
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!!!!

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia........
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!!!!

If today you hear his voice
For this is the will of God for you
Christ Jesus!!!!!

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia........
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!!!!

Once again EVERYBODY in the ENTIRE Cathedral is stunned.

Bishop Robert: WOW!!!!!!

Father Christopher: That was beautiful!!!!!!

John: I honestly like that Alleluia better than the Celtic Alleluia we were originally gonna use to be honest.

Cam: It's my all time favorite Alleluia, and I love it so much!!!!

Bishop Robert: Well, if you want to use that one, then let's do it!!!!

Cam: Alright!!!!
Now for the rest of the music. O Come All Ye Faithful we'll use 4 versus instead of 3 because the section for God Of God, Light Of Light, lo, He abhors not the virgin's womb; very God, begotten not created is often left out, and it's sad because it's such a POWERFUL and BEAUTIFUL verse.
And to make things more wonderful, we'll do the version by David Wilcocks for it has a BEAUTIFUL Fanfare, and in the middle after Sing Choirs Of Angels, there's a Bishop's fanfare while the Bishop does the dousing of the incense/
Similar thing when it comes to Hark The Herald Angels Sing by David Wilcocks, it starts off with a BEAUTIFUL Fanfare utilizing the organ's Trumpette En-Chamades.

John: WOW!!!! I AM IMPRESSED!!!! YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR MUSIC!!!!!

Cam: Entry Hymn is O Come All Ye Faithful by David Wilcocks, Easter Coventry Gloria by Peter Jones for the Gloria, Festival Alleluia by James Chepponis for the Alleluia, Hark The Herald Angels Sing by David Wilcocks as the Offertory Hymn, Communion Hymn will be The First Noel, and the ending Hymn is the BIG ONE, and that is Joy To The World by Joseph Wilcox Jenkins!!!!!!

Cam then stops dead in his tracks realizing that he has a big obstacle in front of him……………

Cam: Hold on, if you want me to be the organist for Christmas Eve Mass, then……………..how many masses would it be for?

Father Christopher: It would be for only one Mass, which would be at 6:00 O-Clock at night.

Cam: How many people are we expecting to show up???!!!!

Bishop Robert: If these people here in Grand Bay Lake plus the tourists who are coming, not to mention the Royal Princesses and their cabinet, take this VERY FIRST Holiday Celebration as seriously as I think they will, then we’re most likely gonna be maxed out at the full capacity of 9000 people.

Cam: WHAT??????????!!!!!!!!!!

Cam’s eyes COMPLETELY dilate, for he has not only a bad case of stage fright, but there is also one Christmas song he has never been able to successfully play, and it’s the big one at the VERY END of the Mass, which he just mentioned.

Cam: I don’t know……………I’m not sure if I can do this…………..

Bishop Robert: WHAT????!!!!

Father Christopher: YOU CAN’T BACK OUT NOW!!!!

John: YOU PROMISED US!!!!  WHY THE CHANGE OF HEART???!!!!!

Bishop Robert: WHAT ABOUT THE BEAUTIFUL GLORIA WE JUST HEARD????!!!!!!

Father Christopher: OR THAT AMAZING ALLELUIA WE JUST HEARD?????!!!!!

Cam: It’s not that I don’t want to, I do, but………………it’s 2 reasons……………I have both a NASTY case of Stage fright, so I freeze when performing in front of A LOT of people, and although I normally have no problems playing Christmas songs on the Organ, I’ve never mastered the BIG ONE that happens at the VERY END of the Mass………...........the one I just mentioned.............……….Joy To The World…………………by Joseph Wilcox Jenkins.............

Bishop Robert: OH?

Cam: I can master almost any Toccata, any of the Trumpet Tunes, any Catholic Hymn, The Main Street Electrical Parade’s Baroque Hoedown, and even our city’s National Anthem, We Built This City, but I somehow just never been able to master Joy To The World…………

Father Christopher: We all have our weaknesses Cam.

John: I know Joy To The World can be tough, but I’m sure it can’t be that bad………….

Cam: There are so many variations on how to play Joy To The World, but no matter how many you use, there’s no avoiding the use of the Great Division, and to top it off I always MESS IT UP no matter which route I take or which style I use.
And if you make the SLIGHTEST mistake on the pipe organ, EVERYBODY IN THE ENTIRE BUILDING HEARS IT!!!!!!

Bishop Robert: That is true…………..

Cam: If you mess up on the piano or guitar, you can hide the mistake, but if you mess up on the organ EVERYBODY knows it, and there’s no way to escape it!!!!
You guys would just be going through SO MUCH effort into putting on this WONDERFUL Mass that I’d end up screwing it up BIG TIME in the end.
ALL 9000 people in the building will hear me mess it up BIG TIME on OVER 20,000 PIPES!!!!

Father Christopher: Don’t say things like that…………

Bishop Robert: We all have things we need to perfect………..

John: It’s Friday December 1, and you have until the 24th to perfect it, so you can try while you’ve still got time!!!!!  It’s not too late……………..

Cam: I just don’t know…………..I’d ruin the whole mass, which you guys are trying so hard to put together, and I don’t want this thing to end up in flames because I’m unable to perform Joy To The World……………..you’re better off finding another organist…………….

Bishop Robert: But there is no other organist we can get ahold of!!!!

Father Christopher: Not before December 24th!!!!  It’d be IMPOSSIBLE to find another one by then!!!!  It’s already December 1st!!!!

John: You are the only one we were able to find and we need you, so please.  Just do the best you can.  If you can’t play Joy To The World, it’s okay……………people screw up all the time, and everyone has their weaknesses.  Just try your best to master it in the short time span that you have, and if you can’t, then we’ll simply not use the organ on the last piece.  It will break my heart to leave out the organ on Joy To The World since it’s such a BEAUTIFUL song.

Bishop Robert: That it is, and no other instrument sounds as magnificent playing it as the organ.

Cam: That's the thing, for the classics, the Toccatas, the Trumpet Tunes, the Catholic Hymns, and Rock N Roll Songs, I had YEARS to master them!!!!  Joy To The World, I ONLY HAVE WEEKS and those weeks will quickly turn into ONLY DAYS!!!!  That is NOWHERE NEAR enough time for me to master a piece that I'm bad at!!!!  It took me well over a year and a half to master Trumpette Tunes In D Major by Henry Purcell, and over 2 and a half years for The Gothic Suite Toccata.  It was also 2 and a half years for Cannon In D as well.  Joy To The World would take me at least a MINIMUM of 18 months to master and get right if I want to get back to it!!!!

Bishop Robert: It's okay!!!  We completely understand that this is not enough time, so if you can't have it mastered by then, then don't worry about it!!!

Father Christopher: And we’ll understand if you’re not able to get it down in time since December 24th doesn’t give you a lot of time with your busy schedule.

John: Just please fill in for David for Christmas Eve Mass.

Cam: Well since I’ve already promised, I can’t go back on my word, so I will!!!  But if I can’t master Joy To The World, then I will unfortunately not take part.  

Bishop Robert: Very well!!!!  We still appreciate what you are doing for us and wish you the best of luck.

Cam: However if I don't take part in it, I will look bad given that I can't play Joy To The World by Joseph Wilcox Jenkins!!!!  UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!  Damned if I do and Damned if I don't!!!!  Talk about being between a rock and a hard place????!!!!

Father Christopher: We will be praying for you, so God can help you find a way to persevere.

John: You have showed us some beautiful organ playing today.........................

Bishop Robert: And I've never heard a more beautiful Gloria................

Father Christopher: Or a more beautiful Alleluia........................

John: So I have absolute faith that you’ll be able to pull it off.

Bishop Robert: I know you can do it Cam.  Just don't be too hard on yourself, and you'll pull through just fine.

Cam: I hope you're right.
Come on Herbie, let’s go back to work on decorating the city.

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP!!!!

Cam then gets in Herbie before Herbie rotates all 4 of his axles to turn around so he’s facing the right way, gently rolls out of the Cathedral, and drives away.


To Be Continued…………….

A Happily Ever After Christmas 2 Empty Re: A Happily Ever After Christmas 2

Post  Camaro_Von_Ludwig Thu Dec 31, 2020 6:45 am

Play From The Heart and Not The Head

After returning home from Grand Bay Lake that evening, Cam tries his best to practice mastering Joy To The World during after hours on Christ Cathedral’s Arboretum Pipe Organ known as Fred Swan.
But again, and again the more Cam tries, the more awful the music sounds for Cam can’t seem to catch a break.
Almost every part in the song Joy To The World catches him COMPLETELY off guard.

Later on that night around 9:00 O-Clock, Christ Cathedral’s Organist, David Ball walks in to check on Cam, and notices him struggling to master the song.
He tries speaking kindly to Cam knowing how frustrated he’s really getting by not being able to master the song.

David L Ball: Still not having any luck I see.

Cam: I don’t get it!!!!  I can master almost every single Toccata, every single scale, every single classic symphony, all the Trumpet Tunes by Jeremiah Clarke, Henry Purcell, and David Johnson, every single Catholic Hymn, and even rock and roll music on the organ, but I can’t seem to catch a break with Joy To The World……………HECK, I'm struggling with O Come All Ye Faithful, and Hark The Herald Angels Sing too!!!!!

David L Ball: Let me show you an example……………….

Cam gets up, and lets David Ball take over.  As David Ball plays, Cam watches him very closely, every last move from the pedals to use of the 4 manuals (Keyboards) on the console, to the coupling of the divisions, to the pulling out of the stops, and selections of all the different sounds.
When David wraps up Cam is completely taken it back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p78Em2bUpl0

Cam: WOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!  How do you do that????!!!!

David L Ball: Just did what you’re doing.  A lot of practice!!!!  It takes time and it takes patience, and even when you’re a Julliard Graduate and an expert organist, you’re still learning new things every day.
You don’t play Christmas songs very often do you?

Cam: No, it’s most often Classical music such as the Trumpet Tunes In D or the famous Toccatas, Catholic Hymns, and occasional Rock & Roll music, but almost never Christmas Music.
I'm struggling with O Come All Ye Faithful and Hark The Herald Angels Sing but should have no problem with them in the end since they're just a matter of taking getting used to.  I do have The First Noel, and What Child Is This, wired down no problem.  However it’s the BIG ONE that’s ALWAYS used at the VERY END of EVERY Christmas Eve Mass, Joy To The World by Joseph Wilcox Jenkins, that I can’t seem to get………….

David L Ball: Just take it easy, and be patient.  You’ll get there eventually.  We all have to start somewhere.  Even experts struggle when they try new songs for the first time.  It’s natural.

Cam: I know, but my main problem is I had YEARS to master the Classics, the Trumpet Tunes, the Toccatas, Catholic Hymns, and Rock N Roll songs.  With Joy To The World I ONLY have WEEKS and those weeks are quickly becoming ONLY DAYS!!!!!  That's nowhere NEAR enough time!!!!

David L. Ball: I understand, and I will pray for you and that it works out.  However, rest assured, you will get there.  Just relax and be patient with yourself.  It’ll all work out in the end.
Now, let’s call it a night and go home.  You should take a break and rest up.

Cam: Thanks David, I will.

David L Ball closes up shop as Cam gets back to his car, and drives home.
Once he arrives home, he notices that Troy is not around, but hears some water splashing outside in the back yard.

Cam: Troy must be out on a date with Chloe, Mackenzie is busy studying for finals, and Erika must be outside practicing her routine.  Sounds good…………

Cam then makes his way down the basement, and crashes on the couch.  Frustrated and disappointed in himself for constantly struggling to master a darn Christmas song.

Cam: I don’t know if I’ll ever master it by Christmas Eve………………………

Meanwhile, Erika is busy practicing more of her synchronized swimming routine, but decides to call it a night when she sees Cam crashing out on the couch.
She gets out of the pool, and heads over to the outdoor shower.
After a nice hot shower, she dries off, puts on a sweatshirt, and makes her way back into the basement.

Erika: Hey Cam, how was work?

But there is no answer, he’s still dead silent.

Erika: HELLO, CAM?????!!!!!!!

With still no answer Erika gets up on the couch, straddles her legs on the sides of Cam’s waist, and sits on top of him.

Erika: Come on Cam; please answer me!!!!! What’s up?  Is something the matter?

Cam: It’s nothing……………..

Erika: Hey, don’t you lie to me Cam!!!!  I know you all to well to know that it’s not nothing, so please tell me.  You know you can always trust me, since we’re also best friends as well as siblings right?  And we tell each other almost anything and everything.  So please tell me what’s bothering you because if you don't I WILL fart on you!!!

Cam can clearly see how worried Erika is about him, and he decides to tell her everything.

Cam: There really is no hiding it from you that the day could have been better............

Erika: Cam, I've seen you go through A LOT, and more than I'd care to count, so I know when something is not right with you!!!  And SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY NOT right with you!!!!  Now please tell me what's wrong.

Cam: Well here it goes.........

From how he was called up at work earlier that day, to how he played both Cannon in D, the Gothic Suite Toccata, the Trumpette Tunes In D Major by Henry Purcell, the Easter Coventry Gloria by Peter Jones, and Festival Alleluia by James Chepponis for Bishop Robert, Father Christopher, and Music Director John at Notre Dame De Royal Cathedral, to the crisis they're in, and to the bind he put himself in……….........

Cam: And there’s no way out of this………………if I opt out, they won’t have an organist for Christmas Eve Mass, and it screws them, but if I keep my promise, and I don’t succeed in mastering the last Christmas Song, Joy To The World, it screws me…………

Erika: I see...............

Cam: I just don’t get it………….I can master almost anything on the organ from most classical songs, to almost every single Toccata, to all the Trumpet Tunes by David Johnson, John Stanley, Henry Purcell, and Jeremiah Clarke, to almost every single Catholic Hymn, and even Grand Bay Lake’s National Anthem We Built This City!  Yet I still can’t master Joy To The World no matter how hard I try.
Every time in the passed, and even today when I practiced at Christ Cathedral, I couldn’t seem to catch a break!!!!  It’s like I’m making absolutely zero progress……….
And if I can’t master this song, either the organ won’t be used, or I’ll end up screwing up BIG TIME ON OVER 20,000 PIPES IN FRONT OF 9000 PEOPLE!!!!
Either way you put it, I make myself look bad and become a laughing stock…………………I don’t want Wendy, Chelia, or Carla to think I’m a failure…………….I mean this will be their VERY FIRST HOLIDAY CELEBRATION AND CHRISTMAS EVE MASS………………….the last thing I wanna do is ruin it for them………..if I do then, all the hard work and effort EVERYONE that Notre Dame De Royal is doing will ALL go up in smoke because I can’t master one lousy Christmas song………and if that happens I’ll be letting a lot of people down……………..

As always Erika is VERY understanding, doesn’t hesitate to wrap her arms around Cam, give him a big hug, and comfort him.

Erika: Hey, it’s okay.  I understand how you feel.  I’m under A LOT of pressure too!!!!  I mean right after I get back from cheerleading, I was working extra long and hard to perfect my synchronized swimming routine for the upcoming competition tomorrow!!!!
And right after tomorrow’s synchronized swimming competition, I have to cheer for our basketball team!!!! Not to mention there’s the Winter Cheer Competition RIGHT before Wendy’s birthday on Friday, and I have to perform for the Nutcracker on the 24th.
There’s also a figure skating competition in February, and gymnastics in March but they’re both on the back burner for now.
So you know what, I’m in the same boat as you, and am also very worried about not doing well. But it’s okay.  

Cam: For the Classics, Toccatas, Trumpet Tunes, and Catholic Hymns, I had YEARS to master them.  That meant I had YEARS to practice and screw up before making them right.  The only people who had to endure my terrible playing was the Rector and my instructor, but that was it!!!  Where as for Joy To The World, I only have WEEKS and those WEEKS are quickly turning into DAYS!!!!  THAT'S NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH TIME!!!!  I'm stuck between a Rock and a Hard Place!!!  I’m sorry for dumping this all out on you, especially with everything you have on your plate…………..

Erika: No it’s okay.  I’m glad you told me because this not only helps you, but it helps me too.  We really aren’t that different Cam, and that’s why we’re best friends as well as siblings.
We both think that Troy has it easy given how A LOT of sports seem to come naturally to him, but no doubt from his perspective, he’s just as hard on himself, as you and I are hard on ourselves.
We expect ourselves to be perfect at what we do, but you know what Cam, it’s okay if we’re not.  We only do what we do because we love it.

Cam: That is true.  At first Troy and I were doing Karate, Kung Fu, fencing, horse back riding, Square Dancing, Ballroom Dancing, Salsa Dancing, Gourmet Cooking, piano, and guitar lessons to stay out of trouble.
But when it came down to it, Troy and I spent extra time with music because it’s something we fell in love with.  I went further to learn the pipe organ because it was an instrument I’ve always loved since day one, and I made it my mission to master it once I was tall enough to reach the pedals because it was something I loved so much.  Just like how I pursued my passion for steam trains, learned basic automotive mechanics, and became a helicopter pilot, because those are things I love.

Erika: That’s the same reason why I do cheerleading, gymnastics, ballet, figure skating, track & field, and MOST OF ALL diving and synchronized swimming.  I do them because I love them all VERY MUCH; ESPECIALLY diving and synchronized swimming.  The competition part is something I could really care less about.  It’s just being able to dive and perform synchronized swimming that really makes me happy.
So what I’m saying is, don't do it because you’re under pressure, do it because it’s something you love.  And forget about being perfect.  No one expects you to be perfect Cam.  I don’t, Troy Doesn’t, Mom and Dad don’t, and not even Wendy, Chelia, or Carla expect you to be perfect.
And I don’t love you because you’re the “PERFECT” Big Brother.  You’re the perfect big brother because I love you with all my heart, and always will.
And if you mess up so what?  You won’t be letting anyone down.  You’ll only be letting EVERYONE down if you don’t try and if you do it for the wrong reason.
So please, do it because you love it, and don’t expect to be perfect.  Mom, Dad, Troy, myself, Wendy, Chelia, and Carla still love you no matter what.  Succeed or fail, we’ll always love you.

Cam then realizes why he’s trying so hard in the first place.  He’s putting on the big holiday celebration because of love, and he wants it to all to be perfect because of how much he loves his close friends that he’s doing it for.  

Cam: Thank you Erika………………you’ve really brought me to my senses………..and now I see why we’re doing this in the first place.
I’ve been obsessed with wanting this whole thing to be perfect, when I should have been thinking about why we’re doing this whole thing in the first place.

Erika: EXACTLY!!!!!

Cam: We’re doing this all for the love of our friends in Grand Bay Lake, and we want it to be perfect because of how much we love and care about our friends.  But we know all too well that nothing will be 100% percent perfect, and that’s okay.

Erika: I am so glad you finally get it Cam.

Cam: And we’re doing this because we want to, and not because we are pressured!!!!

Erika: BANG ON AGAIN!!!!!

Cam: And that’s why I want to step in and fill in for the missing organist.  Because I want to help out, and because of how much I love playing the pipe organ.  And if it’s not perfect, everyone will have a good laugh, and it’s no big deal.

Erika: I’m proud of you Cam!!!!  You finally get it!!!!

Cam: Thank you so much Erika, you really are a God send.

Erika: *Blushes Bright Pink* Oh come on, I’m just doing my job as your little sister.

Cam: But seriously, you’re always there for me when I need you, and I can’t be anymore grateful.

Erika: Hey, do you wanna know why I take on so much at once?  

Cam: Why’s that?

Erika: Because you inspire me to.  I see you take on a lot, and I see how happy you are pursuing the things you love.  Because you follow the things your passionate about, I follow the things I’m passionate about too.  Even though sometimes I feel I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, I still tell myself if you can do it, so can I.
And it’s because you’re so talented at so many different things that I’ve become talented at so many different things too.
And you’ve also taught me never to give up, no matter how bad things get, and no matter what the odds are.  Never give up on something you love.  Always keep at it until you get it.
And it’s because of you never gave up that I never give up.

A few tears pour down Erika’s face.

Erika: And Cam, I mean this with all my heart………………….. You’re the best big brother a little girl like me could ever ask for because of how much you love me with all your heart.  And for that I try to be the best little sister ever because of how much I Love you with all my heart.
I love you so very much Cam, with all my heart, and that will never change…………..

A few tears also pour down Cam’s face.

Cam: And I mean this Erika, you’re the best little sister a guy like me could ask for, and not a day goes by that I’m not grateful you became part of this family.  After all this time, I still thank God for bringing you into this world and giving me the most wonderful little sister I’ve always wanted after several failed attempts Mom and Dad had at conceiving.
And as I’ve said before the greatest gift I’ve ever received in my life, was getting you as my little sister as well as my best friend…………..

Erika: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH CAM!!!!

Cam: I LOVE YOU TOO ERIKA!!!!!

Cam and Erika then wrap their arms around each other in a tight hug before giving each other gentle kisses on both the cheeks and the forehead.

Cam: Thank you so much for being there……………

Erika: Of course, and thank you…………..

Erika’s tummy soon begins to growl.

Erika: *Blushes bright pink* I’m sorry, I guess I’m kinda hungry since I haven’t eaten much since lunch which was HOURS ago…………..

Cam: It’s okay, I haven’t had anything at all today, so I’m kinda hungry too.

Erika: Are we ordering Pizza?

Cam: Now that sounds perfect!!!!  Especially since Troy’s spending the night at Chloe’s.

Erika: And it’s just you and me, which gives us good brother & sister bonding.

Cam: And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Erika: Neither would I.

Cam: By the way, I’ve noticed you’ve decided to wear a plain once piece swimsuit.

Erika: *Giggles*  It’s my Dark Navy Blue & Red Elevate The Stage GK Elite Leotard actually, but works just the same as a bathing suit!!!  I figured we’re not going anywhere special, so no need to bother wearing the pretty purple skirted one piece, and it’s WAY TOO COLD outside to be wearing my 2 favorite 3-piece Skirted Tankinis as much as I love wearing them.  I love the color pattern on this leotard, and it’s SOOOO COMFY and easy to move around in making it perfect for now. And although I get embarrassed for not wearing a skirted swimsuit, it's just you that I'm around.
It also makes my legs look longer, which I REALLY like given how tiny I am.  Though I've made the mistake of wearing my green underwear underneath!!! WHOOPS!!!!! *Giggles* LOL!!!

Cam: Hey, basic, or fancy, they still look cute on you.

Erika: *Blushes Bright Pink and Giggles*  Thanks Cam, that really means a lot!!!!

Cam then gently gropes Erika's cute little butt causing her to blush.

Erika: *BLUSHES BRIGHTER PINK* CAM, YOU PERVERT!!!!!!!! *GIGGLES*

Cam: Sorry, can't help it, you're just too cute!!!!

Erika: *Giggles* I know, and I don't mind it because at least you're gentle on my bottom!!! Also you're my pervert and I love you!!!

Erika then gives Cam a gentle kiss on the forehead before wrapping her arms around him in a big hug, and Cam hugs and kisses her back.  Erika then snuggles into Cam's arms and stays snuggled.

Cam: Also, since it’s just us 2 tonight, you can sleep in my bed with me tonight!!!!

Erika: YAY!!!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Cam: You also don't have to change if you don't want to!!!

Erika: *Giggles* You know me well Cam!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: Hey, we need each other right now after what’s going on.

Erika: You’re so right Cam!!!!!  Anyways, it’s almost 10:00 O-clock so let’s order dinner shall way?

Cam: Yes, we better before Zito’s Pizza closes!!!!

Erika: YEAH!!!!  By the way, would you mind if I joined you in Grand Bay Lake after Ballet on Thursday?  That is the final day of the set up, and the night we’re gonna be testing everything right?

Cam: Of course!!!!  You and Troy are just as much in command of the whole thing as I am, so the more of us that are there, the better.

Erika: AWESOME!!!!  Besides the whole fiasco at Notre Dame, how is everything working out?

Cam: Very well so far, but unfortunately we have a bunch of Christmas trees laying in banks of snow because the Christmas Tree stands don’t get in until Thursday afternoon due to a delay in the shipment, so……………..yeah.  But it’s out of our control, and we’ll be cutting it close.  But if we have all hands on deck we can have the lights and ornaments put on them right away.

Erika: Hey, as I said before, nothing always goes perfectly!!!!  There’s always one hiccup, right?

Cam: Very True!!!

Erika: Anyways, let’s order Pizza because I’m STARVING!!!!

Cam: Me TOO!!!!

Cam then calls up Zito’s Pizza and orders a large Pineapple, Sausage, Ham, and Canadian Bacon Pizza with extra sauce, plus a side of garlic bread.

Cam: Alright, Pizza will be here in about 30 minutes.

Erika: Awesome!!!!  Let’s see what’s on T.V.!!!!

Erika turns on the T.V. and Gremlins is playing on AMC.

Erika: AWESOME, GREMLINS!!!!

Cam: THIS IS A CLASSIC and is one of the Christmas movies that we’ll have playing in Grand Bay Lake’s movie theaters.

Erika: AWESOME, I can’t wait!!!!!

Cam: We’ll have a pretty good selection of Christmas movies.

Erika: AWWWWWWWW, GIZMO IS SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!

Cam: That he is!!! ☺

Cam and Erika continue enjoying a relaxing night eating pizza and watching Christmas movies.
The next day things go very differently for Cam.  With a better understanding and viewpoint, he enters Christ Cathedral’s Arboretum with newfound confidence.

Cam: No need to be perfect, just do the best I can………….

Upon entering the Arboretum, he notices a young pianist named Kenji struggling to play a simple hymn.
Cam can’t help but laugh because just the day before, it was him who was struggling to get a song right.
He goes up to Kenji the struggling pianist to offer some help.

Cam: Can’t seem to be getting any place, I take it?

Kenji: NO!!!!  I can’t seem to be getting anywhere!!!!  I’m fairly new here, but I can’t seem to get any of these hymns right?

Cam: Have you been playing for very long?

Kenji: A little over 2 years……………..I have practiced for many hours a day, and have mastered a lot of songs, but I'm new to Catholic Hymns.

Cam: Understandable.  It can some times take years to master the piano, but it takes even longer to master the pipe organ.

Kenji: Not really helping……………..

Cam: If it makes you feel any better, I’m going through the same problem………….

Kenji: Seriously????!!!!

Cam: Yes!!!!  I’ve been playing both the piano and pipe organ for YEARS, and have mastered almost every single classical song, every single toccata, every single Catholic Hymn, and even some rock and roll music, but I’m stuck on Joy To The World, which is the biggest Christmas song always played during Christmas Eve Mass since it’s always played at the very end.

Kenji: How can that be?

Cam: The fact I don’t play much Christmas music due to my tight schedule; similarly to how you're not that familiar to Catholic Hymns.
But I’ve suddenly realized why I’m doing it in the first place.
I had to ask myself why am I doing this?  The answer was right in front of me the whole time, for the love of music, the love of the pipe organ, and for the love of my friends and family.  This really changes everything.

Kenji: It does?

Cam: It most certainly does!!!!  We memorize music we know by heart, and after such a long time, we use the sheet music more as a guide, and play a song the way we know how to by heart, and how we eventually add our own flare.
However, when it’s something new to us completely, we’re so used to playing what we know so perfectly, that we expect to play what’s new to us no differently.  But, nope………………………we end up over thinking things too hard, take the music too seriously, and try too hard that we end up making more mistakes than we really should.  
When we see something new, we need to take things slow, and follow the basics.  The fine tuning and adding your own flare comes to you eventually once after you memorize it by heart, and it will come on its own when you least expect it.

Kenji: I’m not too sure.  I get what you’re saying, but I’m just not feeling it.

Cam: Would you mind letting me see the hymns you’re trying to play?

Cam has a good look at a majority of the hymns, and a good amount are unfamiliar to him too.

Cam: WOW!!!!!  I wouldn’t have guessed these hymns existed before.  I never heard of most of em.

Kenji: Neither have I.

Cam: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!  Now that my friend is where you start slowly.  I’ll show you what I mean, if only I could find something I recognize.

Cam eventually finds a couple of hymns that he’s not only familiar with, but really enjoys playing, and chooses one he knows like the back of his hand.

Cam: Alrighty!!!!!  I found something that I’m VERY familiar with!!!!

Kenji: How Great Is Our God, but Chris Tomlin?

Cam: Yep!!!!!  It’s a very beautiful hymn, and yet it’s not too difficult to play.  Maybe this would be a good one for you to start off with.

Kenji: I don’t know…………

Cam: Mind if I borrow the piano for this one shot?

Kenji: Sure, by all means.

Cam places the music in the piano’s music stand just above the keyboard.

Cam: Now I have my music open, but you will see that I will rarely to almost never look at it because after playing it for so long, it’s more of a guideline than it is a text book, and let me show you how.

Cam sits down at the piano, and starts off playing slowly and gently with his feet off the tone range pedals.
He starts the hymn by using the basics, and having his hands near the lower pitched keys while using light pressure.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4slmN6pKpw

Cam: Now that was the first segment of the song, and now here comes the second.  You’ll see that things slowly start to change here.

On the second verse of the song, Cam plays the same as before, but as it progresses, Cam slowly starts to speed up the tempo, and add a little bit of his own flare by adding some musical notes, and tapping the far right tone range pedal, allowing the sound dampeners to be released from the piano’s interior strings.  The more the song progresses, the fast Cam speeds up the song’s tempo until it’s at where it needs to be.

Cam: Alright, for the third verse the song takes a totally different turn but it’s not for very long.  The speed is at where it needs to be and will remain consistent until near the very end.

Cam then presses his foot all the way down on the far right tone range pedal and removes the sound dampeners off the internal strings completely.
He then begins moving his right hand further to the right hand side of the keyboard, and plays more of the higher pitched keys as he adds more of his own flare.
Kenji notices that Cam doesn’t pay much attention to the music, and neither does he look at where his hands or feet are.  He already knows by sound, by feel, and by heart.  Cam was playing with his heart, and not his head.

Kenji: WOAH!!!!!  I think I’m starting to get it!!!!!

Cam then suddenly takes his foot off the far right tone range pedal and slows down the tempo of the music as he brings the song to a slow yet gentle end.

Kenji: WOAH!!!!!  I think I know where you’re coming from?

Cam: It’s really not that difficult when you start letting the sound of the music take you away, and let your hands and feet just follow.
Start off slow, and familiarize yourself.  The music will then guide you eventually.  Play because it’s something you love, and not because it’s something you’re pressured into or because you think you have to.  Follow your heart, not your head, and not your hands or feet; they will know where to go, and soon you’ll be adding your own flare like a pro in no time.
Now why don’t you give it a try?

Cam and Kenji swap places before Kenji follows Cam’s advice and slowly begins to play.  Like Cam, he starts reading the music, and plays nice and slowly.  He then lets the music guide him, and soon it takes him away just as it did for Cam, and Kenji is playing almost as good as Cam as he adds his own flare to the song the same way that Cam did.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4slmN6pKpw

Kenji soon brings the song to a gentle close in a similar fashion that Cam did.

Kenji: WOW!!!!!!  You were right!!!!!  It is not that difficult!!!!!

Cam: You’d be surprised by just how far your heart will take you, and it seems to me that you have a strong love for music.

Kenji: I do.  Music is my life, and I don’t know where I’d be without it.

Cam: Then keep doing what you’re doing for that reason.

Kenji: I will, and thank you so much for your help!!!!

Cam: Of course!!!!  And while we’re at it, why don’t we practice playing some Christmas music Together???!!!!

Kenji: Sure!!!!  I’m actually pretty familiar with Christmas music, what songs are you playing?

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!  The songs are O Come All Ye Faithful, Hark The Herald Angels Sing, The First Noel, and Joy To The World!!!!

Kenji: I'm familiar with 2 of them, so let's give it a go!!!

Cam: Sounds good!!!!

Cam then makes his way over to the Fred Swan Organ console and turns on the organ’s blower motors as he sits down.

Cam: Alrighty.  Time to give this one more try, and this time things will be different.

A few hours later, Cam stops by the academy to pick Erika up from cheerleading.  Erika had a VERY LONG DAY of both a synchronized swimming competition, cheering for a basket ball game, and was tired.
But that still doesn’t stop her from running up to Cam and giving him a big hug as he pulls up to the curb.

Erika: HEY CAM!!!!!

Cam: Hey sweetie!!!!  You must be tired.

Erika: YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!

Cam: Well, let’s head home, and we can head to Grand Bay Lake to oversee how things are doing, and enjoy dinner in downtown.

Erika: I am SOOOOOOO Down for that!!!!!!

Cam takes Erika’s cheer bag and puts it in the trunk as Erika gets in the front passenger’s seat of Cam’s car before Cam closes the trunk and gets back in the driver’s seat.

Erika: By the way I’m dying to know, how did go today?????!!!!!

Cam: WAY BETTER Thanks to you!!!!!

Erika: REALLY, I’M SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT!!!!!!  How was it better?

Cam: Well, upon arrival at Christ Cathedral, I met a pianist named Kenji who was struggling to play a number of hymns, and getting frustrated from it.
I can sympathize with that, because just yesterday that was me. LOL!!!!
Anyways, I start a conversation with him, and he tells me how frustrated he is by not going anywhere.  I then tell him that I know how he feels, but I also tell him that when we become experts at most things, we’re so caught up in being perfect because we’re so used to playing everything we know by heart.  When we see something new, we expect to play it perfectly like everything else, and get frustrated when that doesn’t happen.
So I tell him, that’s when we need to take things slow, get a feel for the music, and let the music guide us.  Our hands and feet will know where to go.
He has doubts, but I ask him to show me the hymns he was trying to play, and to be honest, I wouldn’t have been any better because I didn’t recognize many of them, but I found one that I knew like the back of my hand.
I then played that song to show Kenji where I was coming from and he got it.
He then follows what I did, and is soon playing like a pro in not time.

Erika: WOW!!!!!!!  THAT’S AWESOME!!!!!

Cam: I tell him, play music because it’s something you love, and not because it’s something you feel you have to do.  However, I could obviously tell how much he really loved music, and I told him to just follow his heart and the rest falls into place.
We then practice playing Christmas Music with him on the piano and me on the organ, and to my surprise he was familiar with 2 of the songs, so we got a good amount of practice out of the day.  I am by now means an expert at playing Christmas music, but I’m getting the hang of it.  

Erika: That is wonderful, I’m proud of you Cam!!!!!

Cam: Sometimes it takes hearing pep talk, and helping others to better ourselves.

Erika: That is VERY TRUE!!!!

Cam: Anyways, how was Synchronized swimming and Cheerleading.

Erika: Synchronized swimming was AMAZING as it usually is, but I was the second to the last person called to perform, so I got a little nervous on the time crunch.
However I made 3rd place, and I literally threw my cheerleading uniform on, and Sarah’s mom raced to get me to the game as fast as she could.
Heck, I didn’t even have enough time to take off my bathing suit, so my uniform got a little wet when I threw it on.  I’m actually still wearing my bathing suit underneath my cheerleading uniform.  But at least I made it to the game. LO!!!!
As for Cheerleading, it was fun, but when it’s for a game it’s kinda boring compared to when it’s for competition.

Cam: Congratulations on making third place in synchronized swimming.  You really should be proud!!!!

Erika: Thank you so much!!!!!  And honestly, I never thought third place would feel so good.  Sadly it was a short lived win since I was on a time crunch!!!! LOL!!!

Cam: Well we can celebrate over dinner in Grand Bay Lake.

Erika: Sounds good!!!!!

Once Cam and Erika arrive home, they don’t hesitate to fire up the game consoles to open up the portal and warp to Grand Bay Lake to check on the progress.
They arrive in the middle of Town Square where Johnny 5 is waiting for them.

Johnny 5: Oh, there you are!!!!!  We were getting kind of worried your Royal Highnesses!!!!!

Princess Erika: Well, we had a busy day back in our world, but we’re here now and WOW!!!!!!  This place is looking AMAZING!!!!!!

Johnny 5: Thanks!!!!!  We’ve still got a long ways to go and the Christmas Trees don’t yet have their stands, so they’re laying on the ground with snow being poured on their trunks every few hours to keep em watered.

Princess Erika: Cam told me about that!!!!  That must REALLY suck about the delay in the shipment.

Finn: Tell me about it!!!!!  The Mayor is getting pretty pissed off about tripping over this damn thing here in Town Square!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!! -_-

Helmsley: And Herbie’s pretty pissed about having to navigate around it because he and his friends have nearly gotten stuck in the branches more times than they’d care to count.  Anyways, nothing much has really changed, except more decorations and lights have been put up on the various buildings.

Princess Erika: I can see!!!!!  Everything looks SO PRETTY!!!!!

Cam: However this is nothing compared to what it’ll look like when it’s all done.

Princess Erika: And I SOOOOOO CAN’T WAIT to see the look on Wendy’s, Carla’s Chelia’s, and everyone else’s faces when they see all of this completed for the first time.

Cam: Neither can I.

Herbie drives up to Cam and Princess Erika, and opens his doors for them.

Cam & Princess Erika: Thank you Herbie.

Cam and Princess Erika then get in Herbie before they drive off to check on the progress being made around the city.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2U8rTsRLF4

Cam: Alrighty, you can see that the steam trains are pulling cargo instead of passengers since they’re hauling in all of the supplies from far away.
They’re pretty much doing what they were built to do back in the old days.

Princess Erika: I can see because there’s one now!!!!!

Princess Erika spots Eureka Number #4 steaming into Main Street Station with a load of letters, parcels, and more Christmas Decorations instead of passengers.

Princess Erika: That is JUST SO COOL!!!!!

Cam: It’s the same thing with the boats and if you’ll notice what Papillon’s Helicopters are doing.

Princess Erika then sees Papillon’s Helicopters beautifully repainted and decorated with green and silver Christmas bells on the side of them as they help assist the workmen and women with installing the Christmas Lights on the roofs of the buildings.

Princess Erika: WOW!!!!!  They’re helping with putting the lights on the buildings!!!!!  THAT’S AWESOME!!!!!

She then sees both the Admiral Joe Flower and the Richard Irvine Steam Boats steaming into the various Boat Loading docks, delivering large containers full of Christmas lights, decorations, and other cargo.

Princess Erika: We almost NEVER see this!!!!!

Cam: I know!!!!  And normally I’m helping out on the train crews with train operations, but they understand my predicament with me being the replacement organist for Notre Dame, so they told me just to help out when I can.

Princess Erika: Hey, we’ve got our hands tied, so it’s understandable.  
But I am SOOOOOOO BLOWN AWAY by what I am seeing here!!!

Cam: There’s still more to see!!!!

Herbie then passes by the beautiful It’s A Small World Holiday Façade, and Princess Erika watches the workmen testing out the new Nutcracker Projection Show along with the testing of the new LED Dancing fountains in the Small World Façade’s various motes.

Princess Erika: WOW, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!!!!!!

Herbie then passes by the Bellagio where workmen test the new Christmas Song combinations with the dancing fountains.
He also passes by Paradise Bay where workmen test World Of Color Season Of Light, and other parts of Grand Bay Lake to check on the transformation.

Princess Erika: WOW!!!!!  THIS IS LOOKING SO AMAZING!!!!!  I think we may have Disneyland and Las Vegas Beat!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Cam: Maybe, but we’ll have to wait and see!!!!!

Herbie then finds an open spot on Rodeo Drive just outside of a really cute French Restaurant.  He then rotates his axles sideways and slides into the parking space without a sweat.

Princess Erika: OH MY GOD, THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!

Cam: Only a car like Herbie can pull off that trick!!!!

Herbie then opens his doors and lets Cam and Princess Erika out.

Cam & Princess Erika: Thank you Herbie!!!!

Cam and Princess Erika then enter the restaurant and are soon seated at a nice cozy booth by a fireplace.

Princess Erika: WOW!!!!!  THIS PLACE IS SOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!

Cam: It is, and the food here I heard is AMAZING!!!!!!

Princess Erika: Reminds me of our trip to Paris this passed Summer!!!!

Cam: Now that I think about it, it kinda does remind me of it too!!!!!

Princess Erika: RIGHT????!!!!!!  This is PERFECT!!!!!

Cam and Erika then order their drinks and in no time their drinks arrive.

Princess Erika: Well Cam, cheers………

Cam: Likewise………..

Princess Erika: I am so very proud of you Cam!!!!  Grand Bay Lake is looking so beautiful.

Cam: Hey, it’s not just me, it’s a team effort!!!!!  Now if only Troy were here since this was also his idea too.

Princess Erika: Yeah, we’re kinda incomplete without him.

Cam: Yes we are.

Princess Erika then holds Cam’s hand and lays her head on his shoulder and snuggles closely with him.

Princess Erika: But I always enjoy having alone time with you Cam.  You’re my best friend in the world, and I am so glad we’re here right now.

Cam: Same here!!!!  And we’re very lucky to have as good of a relationship as we have because not every sibling can say that their sibling’s are their best friend.

Princess Erika: EXACTLY!!!!!!

Cam: However you and Troy clashed A LOT when your memory was erased during our fight against King Drago and Queen Xayide.

Princess Erika: It still pains me to know how much we fought because I love both of you so very much.  Maybe I love you a little bit more, but I still love Troy with all my heart and it hurts me to know how much we fought and clashed.

Cam: You 2 fought more in the game than you normally do in reality, but I’m glad that’s behind us.

Princess Erika: Me too.  Again…………*BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK* I still feel SO AWFUL for stealing your first kiss.  I don’t know what came over me, and it breaks my heart to know that I hurt you and humiliated you like that!!!!  I love you WAY too much to do something like that to you!!!!

Cam: Again it was not your fault.  The game erased your memories of Troy and I being your older brothers, and you were just another princess in a
Fantasy…………..

Princess Erika: UGH!!!  I know LOTS of people question our complex relationship as siblings, and although we can both be a bit pervertive, we’re just best friends who happen to be siblings with a big age difference, and nothing more!!!!

Cam: EXACTLY!!!!!!  Too many people get the wrong idea about us.
And to be fair since you stole my first kiss, I in some ways stole yours too, so we’re even.

Princess Erika: Never thought of it that way, but I guess you’re right.  *Blushes and Giggles*  You did steal my first kiss at the same time I stole yours, and so we’re even.  And if people have a problem with our age difference, even as best friends who happen to be siblings, then tough!!!!!

Princess Erika gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek and Cam gives her a gentle kiss on top of her head.

Princess Erika: Now let’s order dinner because I’m STARVING!!!!

Cam: Same here!!!!!  We both had a VERY long day, so it’s time to order our food.

Cam and Princess Erika enjoy the rest of their night in Grand Bay Lake overseeing the progress, but more obstacles lie ahead the closer and closer Friday December 8th rolls around.

To Be Continued………………….

Chapter 13

Horrible Snow Storm Causes Major Delay

It’s Tuesday night of December 5th of 2018, and a horrible snow storm has struck the city of Grand Bay Lake along with the towns of Elbe, Eatenville, and Tocoma.
Even Roughville and the Town Of Beginnings have been impacted.
The snow has fallen ALL OVER the entire Big City Of Grand Bay Lake, but worst of all the ENTIRE Railroad line’s right of way is HEAVILY obstructed, and the city's main satellite for cell phone reception is heavily damaged.
Early the next morning Johnny 5 pops out of the entrance of The Bay Lake Grand Floridian when he sees the ENTIRE Resort Strip covered in thick snow.

Johnny 5: WHAT THE??????!!!!!!!!!!!  WE’RE IN BIG TROUBLE!!!!!

He then immediately alerts Finn and Helmsley about the matter.

Finn: OH JESUS, OH GOD!!!!!

Helmsley: WE’RE JUST 2 DAYS AWAY FROM THE BIG REVEAL!!!!!

Rami shows up in a brand new state of the art 2019 Volvo V60 Cross Country Wagon, while Toby shows up in a brand new state of the art 2019 Audi All Road Wagon.
The weather is WAY too icy for them to drive their super powered hyper racers.

Rami: CAN YOU BELIEVE THE NASTY WEATHER WE’VE BEEN HAVING????!!!!!!

Toby: IT’S SO BAD THAT WE CAN’T EVEN DRIVE OUR RACERS!!!!!

Rami: At least we’re putting our brand new state of the art 4X4s to good use.

Johnny 5: We are in some serious trouble!!!!!  We are just 2 days from the big reveal day and still a VERY LONG WAYS off from completion!!!!!

Johnny 5, Rami, Toby, Finn, and Helmsley hear a familiar horn coming from the hotel’s parking lot.

Herbie: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

Finn: OH SHIT, HERBIE!!!!!!

Johnny 5, Rami, Toby, Finn, and Helmsley rush out to the hotel’s parking lot and try to reach Herbie.

Johnny 5: HERBIE, WHERE ARE YOU????!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP!!!!!!!

Finn: SOUNDS LIKE IT’S COMING FROM OVER THERE!!!!!  LET’S GO!!!!!

Poor Herbie was buried under BLANKETS of snow along with all of his friends.  Fortunately it doesn’t take long for Johnny 5 pinpoint his location.

Johnny 5: HE’S BURRIED SOMEWHERE RIGHT BELOW US ALONG WITH HIS FRIENDS!!!!!!

Helmsley: WE HAVE TO GET HIM OUT!!!!!

Johnny 5: WE HAVE TO GET THEM ALL OUT!!!!!

Rami: WE HAVE NO TIME TO LOSE!!!!  TOBY, YOU RUN TO THE TIRE SHOPS AND GET AS MANY SNOW CHAINS AS YOU CAN!!!!

Toby: YOU GOT IT!!!!!

Toby gets back in his car and heads off to the automotive tire shops as fast as his car would take him in the snow.
Rami, Helmsley, Finn, and Johnny 5 quickly set to work on digging Herbie and all of his friends out of the snow.

Dorion and Haji receive a call on their shop's landline, and arrive as quickly as possible.

Dorion: WOOOOAAAAAAH!!!!!! What happened to Herbie?????!!!!!

Johnny 5: He got buried in 7 feet of snow along with the rest of his friends!!!!

Finn: A LITTLE HELP DIGGING HIM OUT WOULD BE NICE!!!!

Dorion and Haji help out, and soon they reach the roof on one of Herbie’s friends.

Rami: I SEE THE ROOF ON ONE OF THE CARS!!!!!!

Helmsley: WONDERFUL!!!!!!  LET’S KEEP DIGGING!!!!!!

Haij: GUYS I SEE ANOTHER ROOF!!!!!!

Finn: IT’S HERBIE’S, WE GOTTA KEEP GOING!!!!!!

Our friends continue working hard digging out Herbie and his friends, but it’s not long until the top of Herbie’s rear engine cover is exposed, and Herbie’s able to start up his engine.

Helmsley: AWESOME!!!!!  HE’S STARTED UP HIS ENGINE!!!!  KEEP DIGGING WE’RE ALMOST THERE!!!!!

Dorion: WE’VE UNCOVERED THE TOP OF THE ENGINE COVER OF ONE OF THE OTHER CARS!!!!!!

Haji: IT LOOKS LIKE THE BEETLE FROM THE JUNK YARD!!!!!!

Rami: KEEP DIGGING YOU GUYS!!!!

And sure enough, the Junk Yard Beetle is able to start up his engine too.
Soon both Herbie and the Junk Yard Beetle revv up their engines, and make their engines hot enough to melt the rest of the snow off their rear engine covers, and by their rear tires.

Johnny 5: OKAY HERBIE!!!!!  TRY TO SEE IF YOU CAN BACK OUT OF THIS STUFF!!!!

Herbie throws his transmission into reverse, but his drive wheels slip on the icy tarmac.  He then throws his transmission into 3rd gear, hammers his throttle pedal, and manages to make a little progress as does the Junk Yard Beetle.
Herbie and the Junkyard Beetle then shake side to side, and make multiple attempts to open up their front trunk bonnets.
Soon all the other VW Beetles wake up and begin working together in trying to get out of the blankets of snow.

Finn: ALRIGHT!!!!!  WE’RE CLOSER TO GETTING THEM OUT!!!!!

Helmsley: LET’S KEEP AT IT!!!!!

Our friends continue digging Herbie and the Junkyard Beetle out of the snow until at long last.

Herbie: BEEEEEP!!!!!  BEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!

Herbie is finally able to lift trunk bonnet and slowly drive himself out of the pile of powdered snow.

Johnny 5: GREAT HERBIE IS OUT!!!!!!

Dorion: SO IS THE OTHER CAR!!!!!

Sure enough the Junk Yard Beetle is also able to slowly drive himself out of the pile of powdered snow too when Toby returns.

Rami: PERFECT!!!!!!  Toby’s back.

Toby then gets out of his car.

Toby: YOU HAVE NO IDEA how popular snow chains are right now!!!!  Thankfully I was the second person to arrive, and I managed to get every last car a set of snow chains.

Haji: That’s perfect!!!!  Let’s put them all on right away!!!!

Rami and Toby rush to Herbie and the Junk Yard Beetle, and waste no time in putting snow chains on their wheels.

Toby: ALRIGHT!!!!  That’s it; the chains are on both cars!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!

Herbie and the Junk Yard Beetle get ropes and tow cables tied to their bumpers before they’re tied to the front bumpers of each Beetle stuck in the snow.
One by one, Herbie and the Junk Yard Beetle tow each of their friends out of the snow, and each VW Beetle is fitted with snow chains on their wheels.

Johnny 5: Okay, now let’s try to see if we can get some work done!!!!

Our friends then head off to Town Square, but unfortunately most of the workmen are busy digging EVERYTHING out of the snow, and the snowfall was SO BAD that many circuit breaker boxes and electrical connections had fried.

Johnny 5: This is BAD!!!!!

Finn: SERIOUSLY!!!!  I don’t see any beautiful lights lighting up!!!!!

The City’s Mayor walks up to our friends and tells them the bad news.

Mayor: Unfortunately the heavy snowfall has killed A LOT of the electrical circuits and breakers boxes, which ALL have to be replaced.
Fortunately we planned for emergencies like this, and have emergency back ups on the way on ships!!!!  Some arrive today, and the rest tomorrow, so we’ll just BARELY make it!!!!

Helmsley: We best inform Cam right away.

Cam: Well here is, and I just heard everything!!!!

Johnny 5: OH, YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS SIR, I didn’t know you were there???!!!!

Cam: Troy understands that we’re getting near our most critical moments during the last 2 days of set up, and will therefor be covering for me back at the office for the remainder of today, and will only need me for some of tomorrow and Friday.

Johnny 5: Oh, Good to hear!!!!

Mayor: We’re REALLY gonna be down to the wire your highness.

Cam: I understand, but you never know what will happen during cold winter months, so it’s a good thing we called in and ordered an emergency back up supply of electrical boxes, and circuit breakers at the last second on Monday.

Mayor: Our workmen are hard at work tearing out the old broken electrical boxes, and preparing for the installation of the new electrical boxes and circuit breakers.

Cam: We also have new electrical power suppliers with higher capacity to prevent overloading.

Mayor: Thank Goodness!!!!!

Cam: Thankfully nothing at Paradise Bay was affected, so the World Of Color Season Of Light show is still right on schedule from what I’ve heard as is the Small World Holiday Mall façade.

Mayor: Good to know!!!!

Cam: It looks like today’s mission is to plow ALL of this snow out of the roads.

Artemus Gordon: One step ahead of you!!!!  Herbie and his friends are being equipped with their own individual snow plows, and helping clear the roads.

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!
Now I must help get the railroad line plowed.

Mayor: They have a rotary Snow Plow waiting for you guys to put to use in Elbe.

Cam: Awesome!!!!  Herbie????

Herbie: BEEEP, BEEEP!!!!

Lets go to the railroad yard!!!!  We’ll need your friends to help out clear the snow.

Herbie: BEEEP, BEEEEEP!!!!!!

Cam then gets in Herbie, and they drive off for the railroad yard.
Upon arrival at the railroad yard, Cam and Herbie see EVERYTHING COVERED IN THICK SNOW!!!!!

Cam: Alright Herbie, you know what to do!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEP, BEEEEEEP!!!!!!

Herbie sets to work on clearing away some of the snow, and soon his friends join in and help.
It isn’t long until most of the tracks by the roundhouse bay doors are clear of thick powdered snow.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!!!  Time to fire up the iron horses!!!!!

Danny: Already on it!!!!!

Bruno: We’ve got em hot, and ready to go!!!!!

Rob: We unfortunately had no way of getting this all clear, but thanks to your car and his friends, we can get some work done around here!!!!!

Big Joe: Alright, I’m here and ready to help!!!!!

John Goss: FINALLY, I’M HERE!!!!!  

Robert: MY GOSH!!!!  I don’t think I’ve ever been in such thick snow before in my life!!!!!

Jonathan Bromudez: Tell me about it, this is the first time I’ve ever had to put my truck in 4 wheel drive!!!!

Eric Heffernan: Well, at least we’re here!!!!!

Jason: That is true!!!!!

Phil: Now how are we gonna do this???!!!!!

Tom: Something tells me we’re gonna be snow plowing!!!!!

Rob: Cam’s friend Artemus has built snowplows for the engines, and they’re being fitted on engines Number #2, and Number #29.

Bruno: A rotary Snow Plow waits for us in Elbe to clear the line all the way up to Tocoma.

Danny: The plan is to doublehead Emma Nevada Number #2 with Myrtle Number #3, and have them plow the snow off of the Grand Bay Lake Railroad’s main line around the city.
We’re also gonna double head the 2 C-19s, and use them to plow all the snow from Grand Bay Lake to Tocoma via the use of the rotary snow plow.

C.K. Holliday Number #1, and Eureka Number #4 will make their usual freight runs in hauling empty freight cars to the Eatonville Harbor, and bringing in all the freight and Cargo.

Rob: Ward Kimball Number #5 was taken apart at the end of last week, and is undergoing EXTENSIVE repairs.  She's also receiving a brand new coat of paint while we’re at it.

Jim: She gets decorated on Friday, and will re-enter service just in time to start the holiday celebrations.

Bruno: Tomorrow night after we’re done, we’re gonna have ALL the locomotives and cars decorations put on.  Number #5 will take a little longer because we’ll need to wait for her paint to dry.

Tom: Looks like I gotta go help with the plowing on the Rotary!!!!

Doug: Me too!!!!

Big Joe: Looks like I’ll be on 29!!!!

John Goss: Same here!!!!

Eric Heffernan: I’ll take Emma Nevada!!!!

Charlie: So will I!!!!

Robert: I’ll take Myrtle!!!!

Steven: Sounds good, I’ll fire on her!!!!

Phil: I’ll take Number #352!!!!

Ryan Briggs: I’ll join you on her!!!!

Jonathan Bromudez: I’ll take C.K. Holliday!!!!

Mark: Ditto!!!

Cam: That leaves me with Eureka Number #4

Mike: Looks like I’m with you Cam!!!!

Danny: Very well!!!!

Bruno: Let’s get this snow cleared up as best as we can!!!!

Rob: Also Robert and Phil, No speeding!!!!

Robert: I wasn’t speeding; my conductor was too slow!!!!!

Phil: HEY, HEY, HEY, COME ON NOW!!!!!  I DON’T DO THAT!!!!

All of the crews then climb into the cabs of their assigned locomotives, and each engine soon steams out of the round house bay, gets turned around on the turntable, backs onto their assigned trains, and steams out of the yard, and onto the main line.
C-19s Number #29 and Number #352 steam off to collect the rotary snow plow in Elbe, while Emma Nevada Number #2 and Myrtle Number #3 stay behind to clear the tracks on Grand Bay Lake’s Railroad line around the city, and both C.K. Holliday Number #1 and Eureka Number #4 follow the C-19s.
However both C.K. Holliday and Eureka are restricted to 10 miles an hour due to the C-19s plowing the snow off of the tracks.

Mike: Can you believe this????!!!!

Cam: Snowstorms happen, and sometimes it’s out of your control.  This time it’s WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY out of our control.

Mike: I’ll say!!!!

Cam: If we pull this off on Friday, we’ll be cutting it close down the wire!!!!

Everyone continues plowing the thick snow off the railroad lines, the roads, and the boats help break up some of the ice on Grand Bay Lake.
Our friends are in serious snow this time, and preparations will all be coming down to the wire.
Meanwhile up in Tocoma at the Haraseeket Inn, Wendy, Carla, Chelia, and the rest of the girls sit around the fireplace in the hotel’s lobby.  They have heard about the awful snowstorm, and begin to worry.

Wendy: This weather’s been very bad………………..

Chelia: An awful snowstorm just struck the city of Grand Bay Lake and has EVERYTHING buried………….

Carla: I haven’t heard any updates about home, and am starting to get worried.

Manaka: Same here…………….

Sayu: This is ridiculous, we should have been informed by now…………..

Miuna: After the awful snowstorm, I highly doubt that our home will be complete in time………..

Ayumi: If repairs aren’t finished in time for Wendy’s birthday………………..

Wendy: It’s okay……………..it’s out of our control…………….we didn’t see this snow storm happening, and neither did we think we’d be kicked out of our home because of building code violations…………….

Nina: It’s still wrong!!!!!  Cam said he’d come visit you on your 13th birthday…………….

Wendy: It’s okay…………..just a phone call will have to do……………….

Chelia: Try calling him up now.

Carla: Yes Child, maybe calling him will help cheer you up!!!!

Ayumi: You’ve been pretty down lately……………

Nina: And he is your best friend after all!

Wendy: You’re right, I’ll try giving him a call!!!!!

Wendy gets out her IPad and tries calling Cam, but unfortunately cell phone reception is lost due extensive damage to the main satellite in Grand Bay Lake.

Wendy: No reception????!!!!!!

Carla: That can’t be right!!!!!  Let me try???!!!!

Carla tries calling from her Ipad, and she has the same problem.

Carla: How odd!!!!

Chelia: Mine’s not going through either!!!!!

Nina: Neither is mine!!!!!

Ayumi: Ditto!!!!!

Manaka: We’re not having any luck on our end as well…………..

Sayu: Either the reception sucks, or something’s wrong……….

Miuna: Do you think the snow storm has anything to do with it????!!!!!

Carla: I have no idea, but if I don’t hear anything by tomorrow, I’m heading back down there and see what’s what.


To Be Continued……………

Chapter 14

Carla Grows Suspicious!!!!

The snowfall from the storm was worse than originally expected.  This resulted in no decorating taking place, and everyone having to work extra hard over night and into the next day.  
The railroad line from Grand Bay Lake going all the way up to Tocoma had just been cleared early the next Morning.
Due to the heavy snow, C.K. Holliday and Eureka were only able to make one run to Eatonville, but they were thankfully able to get ahold of a majority of the replacement electrical power supplies, and circuit breakers.  
Early the next morning at 4:00 a.m. both C-19s Number #29 and Number #352 have their fires dropped after returning from clearing all the snow off the tracks to and from Tocoma.  Danny and Bruno set to work on getting C.K. Holliday Number #1 fired up and ready for the day's work along with Eureka Number #4, Myrtle Number #3, and Emma Nevada Number #2.  
Once their boilers are up at full pressure, C.K. Holliday is the first locomotive out of the roundhouse, coupled to a train, and out on the line enroute to Eatonville at 6:00 a.m. sharp.  It's not long before all the other trains soon make their way out onto the railroad line, and get to to work too.  After some rest, the C-19s are fired up and steam back out on the line to make one run to Eatonville and back.
Around the city, workmen waste no time installing the new electrical power supplies, and circuit breakers, and soon have most of the lights working again.

Johnny 5: Alright!!!!  Most of the lights are working again, most of the snow is off the roads and train line, the boats are back in service picking up the shipment of fake Christmas Trees and the LED Christmas Trees, and the helicopters are back in flight helping workmen repair the damage caused by the snow.

Mayor: And I just got word that the Christmas Tree stands have just arrived at the harbor in Eatonville via landlines, and are waiting for the trains to pick them up!!!!!  The first train left the roundhouse at 6:00 a.m., has already picked up the first shipment of supplies, and is now on her way back!!!!

Johnny 5: Just one problem……….

Mayor: What is that?

Johnny 5: We are a full day behind schedule, and have to work extra hard if we wanna be ready tomorrow.

Mayor: We’re REALLY gonna be cutting it close……………

Johnny 5: Right down to the wire in fact.

It isn’t until 2:00 O-Clock when Cam finally arrives.  He had just spent all morning practicing more of the Christmas Music on the organ at Christ Cathedral, and was now ready to return to work on the final preparations.

Cam: Yesterday was a MAJOR disappointment.................

Johnny 5: I’ll say, we couldn’t get A LOT done except snow removal.  Now we’re a full day behind schedule.

Cam: Thankfully the Christmas Tree Stands just arrived, so we should be good to pick em up at any time.

Mayor: First shipment is coming in right now!!!!

Johnny 5: C.K. Holliday Number #1, the first train of the day, left the engine house at 6:00 a.m. has made a run to Eatonville, and is now  off again on her 3rd trip.  She should be back with a shipment of Christmas Tree Stands soon.
The C-19s left a while ago, and should be coming in with some of the Christmas Tree Stands soon!!!!

Sure enough C-19s Number #29 and Number #352 come steaming in with the first arrival of Christmas Tree Stands.

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!  We can get to work on putting them up right away!!!!!!

Cam then texts Big Joe on Engine 29, and asks him to blow its whistle VERY LOUD!!!!

Big Joe: HEY JOHN, GUESS WHAT???!!!!!  CAM ASKED ME TO BLOW THE WHISTLE LOUD!!!!!!

John Goss: No surprise, he ALWAYS LOVES IT when we blow it loud!!!!! HHHAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Big Joe: Well, when his Royal Highness asks for something, it’s rude not to follow through!!!!!  Okay, he wants it loud, HE WILL GET IT LOUD!!!!!

Big Joe tugs Number #29’s whistle chord, and gives a BIG AND LOUD…………..

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Old Man Phil hears Big Joe’s whistle blast and decides to join in as well……….

Phil: WELL IF JOE’S DOING IT, I’M DOING IT TOO!!!!!!

Old Man Phil tugs on Number #352’s whistle chord and gives another BIG and LOUD……………..

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The whistle blasts are so loud that all the musical notes coming out of the steam whistles echo ALL OVER Grand Bay Lake loud enough for almost the ENTIRE city to hear it!!!!  This in turn makes EVERYONE in Main Street Town Square stop doing what they’re doing.

Mayor: OOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!  WAY TO BLOW OUT OUR EAR DRUMS!!!!!!

Cam: SORRY EVERYONE, I JUST NEEDED TO GET YOUR ATTENTION FOR A QUICK SECOND!!!!!

Cam then sends Big Joe a text saying thank you.

Cam: ALRIGHT EVERYONE, STOP DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING!!!!  THE CHRISTMAS TREE STANDS HAVE JUST ARRIVED, SO LET’S GET TO WORK ON UNLOADING THEM, AND PUTTING UP THE CHRISTMAS TREES!!!!!
WE’LL START WITH THE TOWN SQUARE CHRISTMAS TREE!!!!!
MR. MAYOR, CALL EVERY CRANE, AND TRACTOR WE CAN GET AHOLD OF, CALL PAPILLON HELICOPTERS, GET CELESTIA AND THE REST OF THE ALICORNS, AND HERBIE…………….

Herbie: BEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!

Cam: HERBIE GET THE REST OF YOUR FRIENDS RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE WE HAVE THE TOWN SQUARE CHRISTMAS TREE TO PUT UP NOW THAT THE CHRISTMAS TREE STANDS HAVE ARRIVED!!!!!!

Conductor Tony: MORE ARE ON THE WAY TOO IN THE SECOND SHIPMENT ON THE NEXT TRAIN!!!!!!  PLUS THE REPLACEMENT BREAKER BOXES, ELECTRICAL CHORDS, AND POWER SUPPLIES!!!!

Cam: PERFECT!!!!!  AFTERWARDS WE NEED TO GET THE TREES WATERED, COVERED IN LIGHTS, AND THEN DECORATED!!!!!!
NOW LET’S GO!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPxWIOz6EZM

Everyone sets to work at unloading all the Christmas Tree stands off the big freight train parked in Main Street Station, and sending them to all their assigned locations.

Cam: AWESOME, ONE DOWN AND ONE MORE TRAIN LOAD TO GO!!!!

Emma Nevada and Myrtle come steaming in with the second load of Christmas Tree Stands just 20 minutes after the first one, and this train had the Town Square’s Christmas Tree Stand.

Cam: PERFECT!!!!!  HERE’S THE TOWN SQUARE CHRISTMAS TREE STAND!!!!!  ALL HANDS ON DECK NOW!!!!!

EVERYONE sets to work at unloading the EXTREMELY HEAVY Christmas Tree Stand, and gently placing it in its assigned place.

Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Cadence arrive wearing harnesses, while Herbie and his friends show up to help along with a large crane and powerful tractor, and a Papillon Helicopter AS350 B-2 A-Star.
A BUNCH of tow cables and ropes are tied to the front bumpers of Herbie and his friends as well as the Harnesses of Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Cadence, the front of the tractor and arm of the crane, and the bottom of the Papillon A-Star Helicopter.

Cam: ALRIGHT EVERYONE!!!!!!  HEAVE!!!!!!

Using all their might, Herbie and his friends throw their transmissions into reverse and tug with EVERYTHING they have.  Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Cadence help lift with EVERYTHING they have along with the tractor and crane.  The Papillon A-Star has its main rotor spinning at its max RPM and lifts with all its might.
Slowly and carefully the Town Square Christmas Tree is gently lifted off the ground, and gradually and gently placed in its Christmas Tree Stand.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!!!  WE’RE ALMOST THERE!!!!!

With one last mighty tug, the Town Square Christmas Tree is at long last finally standing tall and proud for EVERYONE to see.

Cam: PERFECT!!!!!

Mayor: OUR TOWN SQUARE CHRISTMAS TREE IS FINALLY IN ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE!!!!!

Everyone: YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Cam: ALRIGHT, NO REST FOR THE WEARY!!!!!  THOSE ASSIGNED TO THIS AREA, GET THIS TREE WATERED, GET IT LIT, AND THEN GET IT DECORATED!!!!!!
AND THE REST OF YOU, ASSIGNED IN DIFFERENT AREAS, PUT UP THE CHRISTMAS TREES IN YOUR AREAS, AND GET THEM WATERED, LIT, AND DECORATED AS WELL!!!!!

Everyone: RIGHT!!!!!!  

Everyone then branches off to their assigned area, sets to work on putting up the rest of the Christmas Trees, and getting all the trees watered, lit, and decorated.
Meanwhile back at the Tocoma Haraseeket Inn, the girls start getting very nervous.

Carla: OKAY, I’VE HEARD NOTHING IN TERMS OF WHAT’S GOING ON WITH OUR HOME!!!!

Chelia: THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!

Manaka: THEY HAVE A LOT OF NERVE IN KEEPING US IN THE DARK!!!!

Sayu: I KNOW IT’S FOR OUR SAFETY, BUT COME ON!!!!!  THEY COULD AT LEAST TELL US WHAT’S GOING ON!!!!!!

Wendy: NOW, now!!!!!  I’m sure there’s a good reason for all this!!!!

Nina: BUT WENDY, YOUR 13TH BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW!!!!  IT’S NOT RIGHT FOR THIS TYPE OF THING TO HAPPEN ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Ayumi: YEAH!!!!  YOUR FRIENDS FROM EARTHLAND SAID THEY’D COME VISIT, AND WHERE WOULD THEY GO WITH ALL THE CONSTRUCTION GOING ON????!!!!!!

Miuna: THEY, CAN’T AND THAT’S SO WRONG!!!!!

Wendy: It’s okay; really!!!!!  Just a phone call from them will do me just fine…………

Wendy attempts to call Cam from her IPad, but just like the day before, she has no luck.  The main satellite in Grand Bay Lake is still damaged.

Wendy: NO WAY!!!!!  My call didn’t go through yesterday, and it’s not going through today!!!!!

Chelia, Carla, and the rest of the girls all try to call Cam from their IPads, but just like before, none of them have ANY luck.

Chelia: DARN IT!!!!!  I’M NOT GETTING ANYTHING EITHER!!!!!

Manaka: NEITHER AM I!!!!!

Nina: AWWWWWWWWWW MAN!!!!!

Ayumi: THIS REALLY BITES!!!!!

Manka: I CAN’T GET A BREAK HERE!!!!!

Sayu: I’LL SAY!!!!!  WHY WON’T A DARN CALL GO THROUGH????!!!!!!

Wendy: THIS IS SO NOT FAIR!!!!!  I CAN’T EVEN GET A PHONE CALL FROM CAM, ERIKA, TROY OR ANYONE ELSE FROM THEIR WORLD!!!!

Wendy begins to cry for she's very sad to not be able to call or receive a call from any of her friends from the real world, especially Cam.

Wendy: WHY CAN’T I EVEN REACH HIM!!!!! :'(  Crying or Very sad  WHY...................WHY?................ Crying or Very sad  Crying or Very sad

And Wendy breaks down crying her eyes out.
This is Carla’s last straw.

Carla: THAT DOES IT!!!!!  I AM TELEPORTING MYSELF OVER THERE AND FINDING OUT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!!

Wendy: BUT CARLA?????!!!!!

Carla: NO BUTS WENDY!!!!  TOMORROW IS YOUR BIRTHDAY AND I CAN’T HAVE YOU SAD ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!  WE ALSO HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON!!!!!  
THEREFOR I AM TELEPORTING THERE RIGHT AWAY!!!!!

Chelia: LET US GO WITH YOU!!!!!

Carla: NO, YOU STAY HERE!!!!  I need to know you are safe.  I’ll go alone, and will be back as soon as I can.

Carla rushes to their hotel room, puts on her thick jacket and boots before making her way out to the entrance of the hotel.

Carla: Okay Girls, I’ll be back as soon as I can.

Chelia: Be safe Carla!!!!

Carla: I promise I will, and Wendy……….

Wendy: Yes?  Crying or Very sad

Carla: Please don’t cry!!!  I promise to get to the bottom of this right away, and will keep you informed.  So chin up Child, it’ll all be okay. ☺

Wendy: Okay………….

Carla: It’ll be alright Child!!!  NOW TELEPORT!!!!!!

Using her teleportation crystal, Carla teleports out of Tocoma, and vanishes into thin air.
Meanwhile it is now 4:00 O-Clock in Grand Bay Lake, and Eureka Number #4 Steams into Main Street Station with emergency replacement electrical chords, circuit breakers, and power supplies in tow.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!  WE’VE GOT MORE REPLACEMENT ELECTRICAL CHORDS, POWER SUPPLIES, AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS!!!!!

Mayor: ALRIGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!

Workmen set to work on unloading all of the electrical power supplies off the train.
Cam goes to talk to Engineer Robert, and figure out a plan.

Cam: Alright Robert, is this this train’s last run for today?

Robert: YEP!!!!  And once we’re off line, only one train remains on the track, and that I believe is engine 1.  She’s about 30 minutes behind us given that this is now its 4th trip.

Cam: So it looks like all trains are going off line for decorating, am I correct?

Robert: YEP!!!!  That’s the plan!!!!

Cam: With that being said, we’ll keep Engine 1 out for the remainder of the night because we’ll need her to make one final run to Eatonville and get the last of the ornaments.

Mayor: Also the Tree Topper for the Town Square Christmas Tree just got in and it needs to be picked up right away.

Cam: Got it!!!!  So C.K. Holliday Number #1 will be the only train out for the remainder of the night to help out with tonight’s dress rehearsal and practice runs for the nighttime shows.
I’ll let Danny know and Bruno know as soon as the train gets here.

Robert: Sounds good!!!!  I’m going on break now in case anyone asks.

Cam: Sounds good.

Cam soon gets an unexpected surprise when he hears a familiar voice from right behind him.

Carla: WELL, I SEE A LOT OF SO CALLED “CONSTRUCTION WORK” GOING ON, BUT IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE WHAT THE GIRLS AND I WERE TOLD!!!!!

Cam: UH-OH!!!!!!

Carla: CAM, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS????!!!!!!

Cam: *Sighs*  Carla, I can explain…………

But Carla doesn’t have any of it.  She smacks Cam right in the face with a BIG and LOUD……………………

SLAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carla: WHAT CAN YOU EXPLAIN????!!!!!!!!  THAT YOU’VE KICKED US OUT OF OUR HOME 2 WEEKS BEFORE WENDY’S 13TH BIRTHDAY, TURNED THE CITY PRACTICALLY UPSIDE DOWN, HAVEN’T INFORMED ME OR ANY OF THE GIRLS ON WHAT’S GOING ON, OR HOW THINGS ARE PROGRESSING AND WORST OF ALL………..

A few tears soon pour down Carla’s face………….

Carla: YOU MADE WENDY CRY!!!!!  

Cam: Oh no……………

Carla: SHE WAS TRYING TO CALL YOU, BUT SHE COULDN’T REACH YOU!!!!!  IF SHE COULDN’T SEE YOU TOMORROW ON HER BIRTHDAY, AT LEAST SHE COULD CALL YOU, BUT SHE WASN’T ABLE TO, AND THAT REALLY UPSET HER!!!!!

Cam: I’m so sorry……………….

Carla: YOU KNOW, WENDY REALLY LOOKS UP TO YOU!!!!  SHE THINKS ABOUT YOU EVERY DAY, IS ALWAYS EXCITED TO CALL YOU, AND EVEN MORE EXCITED WHEN SHE KNOWS YOU’RE COMING!!!!!
BUT TO SEE YOU HERE UNANNOUNCED WITH US EVICTED OUT OF OUR HOME, AND NOT GIVE US AN EXPLANATION ON WHAT’S GOING ON IS VERY HURTFUL, ESPECIALLY TO WENDY!!!!!
SHE'S A SWEET AND WONDERFUL LITTLE GIRL WHO REALLY THINKS HIGHLY OF YOU NONSTOP!!!!!  BUT YOU’VE MADE HER CRY AND HURT HER PRETTY BAD!!!!!!
NOW TELL ME, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE???????!!!!!!

Cam: I’m sorry………………….

Carla: Try telling that to Wendy and the rest of the girls……………..

Cam: No, I’m sorry for causing you girls so much confusion.  
Ya see, what’s going on with your home and the rest of the buildings here on Main Street are NOT renovations to correct code violations.  In fact according to the Magic Kingdom Building Safety Administration, all the buildings’ construction in this city with the exception of the old academy, exceed most of today’s safety standards…………..

Carla: I FIGURED THAT MUCH!!!!!  HAVEN'T YOU FORGOTTEN THAT I'M CLAIRVOYANT????!!!!!  I KNEW THAT ALL THE CODE VIOLATIONS WERE A LIE!!!!

Cam: Right you are!!!  That was a all trick to get you and the girls out of the castle, so Troy, Princess Erika, and I can do something very special for you and the rest of the girls.  The 3 of us promised not to crack on this, but it looks like I have no choice................

Cam then decides to tell Carla the whole truth about what’s going on.  He gets out his Ipad and shows her all the pictures he, Troy, and Princess Erika took of Disneyland, Las Vegas, and pictures taken off the internet of Walt Disney World all decked out for the holiday season along with the cities of San Francisco, New Yok, and Los Angeles.

Carla: OH MY GOSH!!!!!

Cam: Ya see, Troy, Princess Erika, and I all felt terrible that you and the girls have never had the chance to experience the magic of the Holiday season that we get to experience every year.
Back in our world, the holiday season is about love, and spending time with those you love and care about the most, and treasuring every moment you have with them.  It’s such a magical and beautiful time of year, and we wanted to share all that with you and the rest of the girls along with everyone else here in the Magic Kingdom.
You and the rest of the girls are like family to us, we love you all very much, and we just feel so AWFUL that you and the rest of the girls never got the chance to experience the Holiday Season.
We wanted it to be a surprise for you girls, and we also figured on making tomorrow the start date for the Holiday celebration to make Wendy’s 13th birthday all the more special, but the cat’s out of the bag and now you know.

Carla feels terrible about what she had said, and wishes she could take back everything she just said as a more tears pour down her cheeks.

Carla: I’m soooooo sorry……………….

Cam: No, I’m sorry, at least one of you should have been informed……….Princess Erika told me she'd keep you girls in check to help us keep the secret, but unfortunately her busy schedule prevented her from helping us keep the secret.

Carla: No, you were trying to do something wonderful for us, and I jumped to conclusions, hit you,……………and worst of all I spoiled the surprise……………….

Cam: Hey, don’t feel bad.  At least you didn't hit me with a boiled lobster the way Nicole did with Mr. Whitfield when she found out Alonzo Hawk was his uncle.  And you didn't call me a rotten spy either!!! LOL!!!

Carla: *Giggles* LOL!!! I actually like that scene!!!

Cam: We all have our moments, we all make mistakes, and our anxiety goes through the roof when we have no idea what’s going on and just want answers…………..
And since you’re here, I’ll show you a sneak peak of what you and the girls are gonna experience tomorrow.
By the Mr. Mayor???!!!!!

Mayor: YES, YOUR HIGHNESS????!!!!!

Cam: Have enough of the circuit breaker boxes, power chords, and supplies been replaced in order to start testing of the lights and P/A system?

Mayor: Let me radio the contractor.

The Mayor radios the lead contractor and gets the green light.

Mayor: YES!!!!  Not all of the power cables have been replaced, but enough have to safely begin testing.  In fact the lead contractor was gonna radio us and ask to begin testing anyway, so it works out!!!!

Cam: THAT’S GREAT!!!!!  Alright Carla, here’s what’s going on!!!!

Mayor: ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD AND FIRE UP THE LIGHTS AND START THE MUSIC!!!!!

Workmen waste no time in flicking the switches, and suddenly like magic, ALL of MAIN STREET USA including parts of the Town Square Christmas Tree are all flooded with Christmas lights, and Grand Bay Lake’s National Anthem, We Built This City’s second Recording from 2014, begins playing on the city’s P/A System.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwdmhQuJnW8&list=RDpwdmhQuJnW8&start_radio=1

Cam: SERIOUSLY????!!!!!  YOU HAD TO PLAY THE NATIONAL ANTHEM????!!!!!  COME ON, WHERE’S THE CHRISTMAS MUSIC?????!!!!!

Workman: SORRY SIR, WE’RE STILL WORKING ON THE PROGRAMMING!!!!!

Workman: HERE IT IS!!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msUShf3B3Hk

And with that, the right music starts playing.

Cam: NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!!!!

Carla however is COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY and feels even more terrible.

Carla: OH MY GOSH!!!!!!  IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL……………

More and more tears come pouring down her face until she can’t hold it in any longer and breaks down crying as she wraps her arms around Cam in a big hug.

Carla: CAM, I AM SOOOOO SORRY!!!!!  Crying or Very sad  Crying or Very sad  Crying or Very sad  Crying or Very sad

Cam: Carla………………

Carla: CAM, I AM SORRY, I AM REALLY SORRY!!!!!!  YOU WERE ONLY TRYING TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR US, AND I RUINED IT!!!!!  WORST OF ALL I HURT YOU!!!!!!  I AM SOOOOOO SORRY!!!!!!!!  I SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED YOU!!!!!!  Crying or Very sad  Crying or Very sad  Crying or Very sad  Crying or Very sad

Cam: Carla it’s alright sweetie…………….you did absolutely nothing wrong.

Carla: CAM, PLEASE CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME???!!!!  Crying or Very sad  Crying or Very sad

Cam: There is nothing to forgive!!!!  

Carla: JUST LIKE WENDY, YOU ARE ALWAYS TOO NICE.................

Cam: You were only searching for answers, and trying to protect Wendy from a broken heart.  It was wrong of me to not inform you about what’s really going on.  Also you didn’t ruin the surprise at all.  At least not yet, as long as you keep this a secret from the rest of the girls, and just tell them that everything’s alright, then we have no problem. Smile

Cam then gently wipes Carla’s tears and pats her on the head.

Cam: You’ve done absolutely nothing wrong.  You’re just doing your job as Wendy’s, Chelia’s, Nina’s, and Ayumi’s guardian, and that is 1000% PERCENT COMPLETELY understandable.

Carla: YOU REALLY ARE such a sweetheart, and Wendy is beyond blessed to have you as her best friend as am I.  I may not like the age difference between you 2, but I am SO GLAD you came into our lives and became Wendy’s best friend.  She’s a changed girl and has matured so much in such a short time because of you.

Cam: You, Wendy, and Chelia have given me the greatest gift of all, and that is your friendship.  There’s no greater gift than friendship, and you girls are family to Troy, Princess Erika, and I.

Carla: That really means a lot!!!! Smile

Cam: If you think everything looks good now, things didn’t always go so smoothly to get us to where we are now!  In fact we’re still WAY behind schedule!!!!

Carla: OOOOOOOOH, DO TELL!!!!!! *GIGGLES*

Cam: Until about an hour ago, Christmas Trees were lying ALL OVER the place, including our BIG 80 foot Town Square Christmas Tree because the Christmas Tree stands were on back order and couldn’t arrive until today.  Heck just getting the Christmas Trees here wasn’t challenging enough, workmen were constantly throwing layers of snow over the trunks to keep the trees watered.
The horrible snowstorm we had on Tuesday night REALLY messed things up!!!!  EVERYTHING was buried in LAYERS of thick snow, the thick snow blew up A LOT of our power cables, supplies, and multiple circuit breakers, but luckily we planned ahead and got emergency replacements in time for tomorrow.
Poor Herbie and his friends were buried under the thick blankets of snow, and it took Finn, Helsmley, Rami, Toby, Dorin, Artemus Gordon, Jim West, and Johnny 5 over 2 hours to dig them out.
It took us HOURS to plow the streets and the railroad lines!!!!   2 of our steam engines didn’t return here until early this morning at 4:00 a.m. because they were busy bucking and plowing snow ALL the way up to Tocoma.
And David the organist at Notre Dame De Royal is on vacation visiting his family in Saint Louis until after the New Years, therefor Bishop Robert, Father Christopher, and Music Director John asked me to fill for Christmas Eve Mass as the replacement organist.  However, I'm terrible at playing the final hymn, Joy To The World by Joseph Wilcox Jenkins, and I ONLY have DAYS to master it.  Where as it took me YEARS to master the classics, the Toccatas, the Trumpet Tunes, and Catholic Hymns...........

Robert: I was gonna ask, how is that going Cam????!!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: DON’T ASK about how it went at first, but I’m slowly getting there.
And now I've had to spill the beans to you on what's going on!!! LOL!!!!
Anyways, it’s been quite a mess so anything that could go wrong, has GONE WRONG!!!! LOL!!!!  The joy’s and responsibilities of being the Magic Kingdom’s Royal King!!!!!

Carla: *BUSTS OUT LAUGHING*  

Cam: WHAT???!!!!!!  What’s so funny????!!!!!!

Carla: YOU REALLY HAVE HAD YOUR HANDS FULL!!!!!  And the girls and I were really worrying all for nothing!!!!

Cam: It gets better, the awful snowstorm destroyed Grand Bay Lake’s main satellite that provides cell phone service, so there’s no way any of us can make phone calls except by good old fashioned land lines.
Sure I was able to text Big Joe who was only about 100 yards away from me, but text messages can only go through within a city block of Town Square thanks to a small satellite dish mounted on top of the building of City Hall.

Carla: SO THAT’S WHY WENDY WASN’T ABLE TO CALL YOU!!!!!

Cam: EXACTLY!!!!!  The Magic Kingdom's main Satellite for cell phone reception here is down until further notice because of the snow storm.

Mayor: Actually, the replacement satellite is coming in right now!!!!!
The Richard Irvine has it, and it will be off loaded in just a few moments.
I’ve called Papillon for a helicopter to take it up to the top of Grand Bay Lake Tower for Installation!!!!!  If all goes well, we should have cell phone reception back within an hour!!!!!

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!

Carla: NOW THAT MAKES COMPLETE SENSE!!!!!!

Sure enough, the Richard Irvine Steamboat steams into the Main Street boating dock area, and docks.  Workmen set to work on offloading the giant replacement satellite as a beautifully decorated Papillon AS-350 A-Star flies in to collect it.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!  That will solve most of our remaining problems.

Carla: Once again, I’m so sorry I doubted you Cam.

Cam: Hey, don’t worry about it, these things happen, and regardless of anything, we’ll always be good friends.

Carla: Of Course!!!!!  I wouldn’t have it any other way!!!!!

Just then C.K. Holliday Numebr #1 comes steaming in with her train of the remaining electrical power cables, and circuit breakers.

Cam: That must be the last of the electrical supplies.

Eric Heffernan: INDEED IT IS!!!!!

C.K. soon comes to a full and complete stop before workmen set to work in unloading the last of the electrical cables, power supplies, and circuit breakers.

Eric Heffernan: Well we’re the last train out, and one more run has to be made up to Eatonville, but the problem is, I’m almost off, and so is Jason.  So unless someone catches us, this train has to be put away.

Cam: No problem Eric.  I’m just gonna show Carla the rest of Grand Bay Lake, so she can see what’s going on, and when I get back, I’ll take over for you.

Eric Heffernan: THANKS CAM!!!!  You’re a life saver!!!!

Cam: Anytime!!!!

Jason: Hey, I’m willing to extend if that’s alright!!!!

Cam: That would be WONDERFUL, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!  And don’t worry I will pay you DOUBLE TIME for extending!!!!

Jason: SWEET; THAT SOUNDS GOOD!!!!!

Cam then gently takes Carla’s hand.

Cam: Alright Carla, let me show you the rest of what’s going on. ☺

Carla: Thank you Cam!!!

Carla then blushes as she gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Carla: *Blushes bright pink* That was a one time deal, so don’t expect it to happen very often…………okay?

Cam: Don’t worry, I won’t!!! LOL!!!  Let’s go see the rest of the city.

Carla: RIGHT!!!! ☺

Cam: HERBIE!!!!!!

Herbie drives up to the bottom of the staircase at Main Street Station and opens his doors.

Cam: Thanks Herbie!!!!!  We’re gonna show Carla what’s going on throughout the city, so let’s not waste anytime.  Every second counts!!!!!

Cam and Carla get in Herbie before Herbie closes his doors and drives off.  They pass the Royal Castle……………..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PunBFsQ5BOU

Carla: OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!  OUR HOME…………………

Cam: I know……………..

Carla: I’VE NEVER SEEN IT LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

Cam: Wait until you see it all done along with the the inside tomorrow……………

Herbie then drives down Rodeo Drive and the Resort Strip……………….

Carla: WOW!!!!!!  THIS ALL LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!

Cam: WAIT, I should have done this sooner!!!!

Cam opens up Herbie’s Ragtop canvas moon roof giving him and Carla an even better view of all the Christmas Lights and Decorations.

Carla: OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!

A beautiful repainted and decorated monorail glides overhead to pick up some commuters and take them home.

Carla: AMAZING!!!!!

Cam: Just like the Las Vegas Strip, but on a slightly smaller scale! ☺

Herbie then drives passed the Grand Bay Lake Railroad’s Round House Facility where the roundhouse and turntable are BEAUTIFULLY decorated in Christmas Lights and Wreathes, and all the trains out of service are in the process of being decorated.

Carla: WOW!!!!!!!  OUR TRAINS ARE LOOKING SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Herbie then drives up Mount Royal where he passes a BEAUTIFULLY decorated Notre Dame Cathedral………………………..

Carla: WOW!!!!!!

Herbie then passes through the Small World Façade Mall area at the perfect timing, because it’s when testing of the new Nutcracker Projection Show, and dancing founds are going off.

Carla: OH MY GOSH, THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

Herbie then passes Paradise Bay where workmen test out the colorful dancing fountains and water projections for the new World Of Color Season Of Light water show.

Cam: Yes, we’re even having a Christmas water show called World Of Color Season Of Light, and it’s performing in the same area as Fantasmic………….

Carla: OH MY GOSH…………………..

Herbie then passes by Grand Bay Lake Tower, The Grand Bay Lake, Eye, and then both the Epcot and Metreon Center.
As Herbie passes through both Epcot and Metreon Centers, he also passes the various movie theaters where Cam shows Carla a list of all best classic Christmas movies that will be playing.

Cam: So starting tomorrow, some of the best Classic Christmas films from my world will be playing at all these movie theaters up until January 1st.

Carla: IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL!!!!!

Carla’s smile is completely beaming from cat ear to cat ear as she sees all the beautiful Christmas lights and Holiday Decoration going up everywhere.
Sadly the tour comes to an end as Herbie returns to Main Street Train Station and parks at the bottom of the staircase before opening his doors.

Cam: Thank you Herbie!!!!

Carla: Yes, Thank you so much!!!!!  That tour was WONDERFUL!!!!
And thank you so much you 2 for not driving too fast.

Cam: Hey, Herbie and I maybe speed demons under normal road conditions, but we don’t mess around when it comes to ice and snow.  One false move can result in us slipping off the road and into a nasty accident.  And accidents in the snow are WAY worse than they are under normal conditions, so best not to risk it under icy and snowy conditions.

Carla: I’m glad to see that you 2 aren’t so reckless after all!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: HEY, WHAT’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN???!!!!!

Carla: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  You really are funny!!!!!  It’s no wonder Wendy has a real big soft spot for you!!!!!  

Troy had just picked up Princess Erika from Ballet, and they have arrived in Grand Bay Lake from the real world now ready to help Cam with the final preparations as they greet him and Carla.

Princess Erika: HEY YOU 2!!!!!!

Troy: GLAD TO SEE SO MUCH PROGRESS HAS HAPPENED!!!!!

Princess Erika: And don’t worry, the Mayor told us about what happened, and that you had no choice but to tell Carla the big surprise.

Troy: It’s COMPLETELY understandable after the city’s main satellite for cellphones crashed because of the horrible snowstorm.

Princess Erika: You were just doing your job as Wendy’s, Chelia’s, Nina’s, and Ayumi’s guardian, so it’s okay!!!!!

Carla: I still feel bad for lashing out at Cam like I did, and smacking him.  But I promise not to tell the girls a thing.  You have my word.

Troy: One of the many bakeries wants you to try their hot cookies and hot chocolate, which they will be serving tomorrow.

Carla: That sounds WONDERFUL!!!!!  I am a little hungry since I haven’t eaten much, and hot chocolate sounds great in this cold weather.

Carla takes a bite out of one of the cookies, and nearly faints.

Carla: OH MY GOSH, THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: TRY THE HOT COCO, IT’S EVEN MORE AMAZING!!!!!

Carla takes a sip of the hot chocolate and is even more blown away.

Carla: OH MY GOD!!!!!  THIS IS PERHAPS THE BEST HOT COCO I’VE EVER HAD!!!!!!
THE GIRLS ARE GONNA LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!

Cam: THAT’S WONDERFUL!!!!!!

Carla: AND THIS WILL MEAN SO MUCH FOR WENDY!!!!!!  You 3 are the best friends she’s ever had, and I am beyond grateful for you 3 for coming into our lives.
This will most definitely be the most special birthday she’s ever had.

Carla then gets out her teleporting crystal, and prepares to teleport back to Tocoma.

Carla: Well, thank you so very much for showing me what’s going on.  I can now safely reassure the girls that everything’s going to be alright.
And once again, I’m sorry for any trouble I’ve caused.

Cam: Don’t worry about it.  You were just doing your job.

Carla: Cam, you’re a very sweet boy, and it’s no wonder Wendy has grown very attached to you.  Promise me you will never change.

Cam: I promise.

Carla: Also Cam, I promised Wendy I’d never say this out loud, but time and time again I hear her tell Chelia and the other girls this all the time but she thinks you’re really cute……………ESPECIALLY when you're REALLY shy!!!! *Giggles*

Cam: *BLUSHES DARK RED* WAHT!!!!!  I know I can be a cluts, but cute does not fall in my category, ESPECIALLY when I'm shy.

Carla: *Giggles* You really are her special friend.  Now you 3 be safe, and I’ll see you again tomorrow.

Troy: Yes you will at 5:00 P.M. Sharp!!!!

Princess Erika: IT’S A PROMISE!!!!!

Carla tries to warp back to Tocoma but it doesn’t work.

Carla: WHAT THE????!!!!!

Carla tries to teleport again, but her teleportation crystal still doesn’t seam to activate.

Carla: WHY ISN’T MY TELEPORTATION CRYSTAL WORKING????!!!!!!!!  

Mayor: I’m sorry, but our magical lacrima that allows the use of teleportation crystals and warp spells was heavily damaged from Tuesday Night’s Snow Storm.  So until further notice, all teleportation crystals and warp spells out of Grand Bay Lake are out of order indefinitely unless you’re returning to the human world.

Carla: BUT HOW AM I GONNA GET BACK TO WENDY AND THE REST OF THE GIRLS????!!!!!!!

Cam: Not to worry.  We have transportation right here!!!!

Conductor Ruben: Hey, we need to make one more run Mr. Cam, so the sooner we leave, the better!!!!

Cam: Yep!!!!!  Don’t you worry; I will take you back to Tocoma myself?

Carla: REALLY???!!!!!  ARE YOU SURE????!!!!!

Cam: OF COURSE!!!!!  Tocoma is only 25 miles north of Eatonville, and this train’s doing one more run out of town anyways.  We will have to stop for water along the way, but only once.  Otherwise it’s no problem.

Carla wraps her arms around Cam and gives him a big hug.

Carla: Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH CAM!!!!!  You really are an amazing friend!!!!

Cam: Hey, what are friends for???!!!!

Carla: You really are a big sweetheart, anyways where would you like me to go?

Cam: Come follow me.

Cam takes Carla up to C.K. Holliday’s cab.

Cam: Alrighty, you’ll sit here on the tender seat.  The fire’s nice and hot so we’ll all be nice and toasty during the whole 57 mile trip.
It’ll take us around 2 and a half hours, but this is the fastest engine in our fleet, so the time will go by fast.

Troy comes up to the cab and hands Carla a tin full of hot cookies and a thermos full of hot chocolate.

Troy: The bakers wanted you to have some nice hot cookies and hot chocolate in case you get cold.

Carla: Thank you so much!!!!

Princess Erika: How long will you be Cam?

Cam: It’s almost 5:00 O-Clock now, so no later than 9:30 P.M.

Troy: Best not to delay because we can’t do the soft opening without you.

Cam: No problem!!!

Cam then picks up the cab radio microphone, and calls the roundhouse.

Cam: Roundhouse 1 Danny, this is GBL Engine 1!!!!

Danny: GBL Engine 1, this is Roundhouse 1 Danny!!!!  What’s your call?

Cam: Be advised that GBL Engine 1 C.K. Holliday will be the last train in service tonight, and will be used for shuttle service during testing tonight.

Danny: Sounds good!!!  What’s your position?

Cam: We’re about to depart Main Street Station for the final run until testing.  However we’re gonna need to go all the way up to the northern terminal in Tocoma to drop off the Royal Guardian Carla.  We’ll pick up in Eatonville on the return home, and be back close to 9:30.

Danny: Thanks for letting me know!!!!  Rob will be taking over for me, and should be here by the time you get back.  Travel safe.

Cam: Will do!!!!

Princess Erika: Troy and I will supervise everything until you get back!!!!

Troy: You stay here and help out the Mayor while I take Herbie and help out Johnny 5 in other parts of the city.

Princess Erika: Sounds good!!!!!

Conductor Ruben: ALRIGHT!!!!  WE’RE READY TO GO MR. CAM!!!!!

Cam: Just what I like to hear!!!

Conductor Ruben:  ALL ABOARD!!!!!!

Conductor Ruben then gets on his radio and gives Cam the high sign.

Conductor Ruben: GBL 1, You have a highball!!!!

Jason shuts off his ball lever lifting injector valve, closes the blower valve to half a turn, opens the atomizer valve a quarter turn, and opens the firing valve all the way before he tugs on the bell chord.
Cam opens the cylinder drain cocks all the way, gives 2 blasts on the whistle, eases the throttle open, and C.K. Holliday Number #1 gracefully steams out of the station.

Jason: ALRIGHT, I’M GONNA SAND OUT THE TUBES!!!!

Cam: AWESOME!!!!  

Jason then opens up the firebox door and pours a small can full of sand into the firebox.  The sand then being sucked up through the boiler heat tubes cleans the soot from the tubes, which in turn allows the tubes to conduct heat better, and provide the engine with the power it needs to get going.

Jason: BLOW DOWN!!!!!!

Cam: BLOW DOWN!!!!!
It’s gonna get a little loud Carla, so heads up!!!!

Carla: Okay!!!!

Jason opens up the blow down valve causing vaporized water to come jetting out of a nozzle just front of the driving wheels.  The blow down cleans out the boiler by getting rid of all the calcium and mineral deposits that reside near the bottom of the boiler barrel.  This helps protect the steam cylinder engines near the front of the locomotive from suffering major mechanical damage.
Jason continues ringing the bell as Cam gives a few more blasts on the whistle with a……………….

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOO!!!!!!!

As C.K. Holliday steams on her way out of Main Street Station in a bunch of clouds of smoke and steam while snowflakes gently fall from the sky.


To Be Continued.

Chapter 15

        It’s Christmas Time At The Railway Station

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3exN7A19a1k

After taking on water in Paradise Bay, C.K. Holliday soon steams off the Grand Bay Lake Railroad’s main line, and on her way en-route north to Tocoma.
Once outside of Grand Bay Lake’s City limit, Cam and Jason open up C.K. Holliday’s throttle and firing valve, and run her passed the city’s track speed limit of 32 miles an hour.
Carla’s both fascinated and impressed with Cam and Jason’s teamwork as she watches them operate the locomotive.

Carla: WOW!!!!  The girls and I have never seen something like this before!!!!  It looks very complicated.

Jason: Not really, it’s actually very simple.

Cam: It just takes understanding the machine, knowing its limits, what mood its in, whether it’s having a bad day or a good day, as well as its overall personality.

Jason: All 5 locomotives in our collection plus the 2 C-19s on loan have their own personalities, and this one is normally one of the most forgiving and predictable of the bunch.  Emma Nevada Number #2 is the LEAST forgiving and the most difficult to fire while while Roger E. Broggie Number #7 is right on her tail as the most difficult to operate from the engineer's point of view.

Cam: They will talk to you while you’re operating them.  You can hear them telling you whether they’re working too hard or if they’re hardly working hard at all.
They’ll let you know when they’re happy, or when they’re angry with you.

Jason: You can hear it in the stack, you can hear it in the blower and the sound of the fire, and you can feel it in the vibration of the wheels as the large side rods go up and down in every revolution.

Cam: But basically the personality of a locomotive is not much different from a person.  You give it respect and take care of it, they will give you respect and take care of you in return.

Jason: However a locomotive’s personality is mostly like that of a teenage girl on her monthly period, so if you try to disrespect them, or think you know better than them, the engine will give you a piece of its mind and show you whose REALLY the boss!!!!

Cam: Been there, and done that

Carla: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING* NEVER KNEW THAT STEAM TRAINS AND US GIRLS WERE SO MUCH ALIKE!!!!  THAT IS VERY FUNNY!!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: More than you’d think!!!!!  I’ve had lifting injector valves and tri-cock valves come flying off and hit me in the face more times than I’d care to count, I’ve had the firebox door open on me and catch my hand on fire, I’ve had to deal with a Westinghouse Dual Cross Compound Air Compressor acting up on me, I’ve had an engine work water on me so bad that water hammer occurred in the lifting injectors, and I’ve been scalded so many times when crawling underneath the locomotive to service the moving components.  Not to mention I’ve been in fights with uncooperative grease guns.

Jason: That sucks!!!!  However I’ve dealt with bad days on Number #7, and it’s a VERY LONG DAY when Number #7 was having a bad day given how beat up and worn out she was.  ESPECIALLY with the stupid Crosshead Feed Water Pump!!!! -_-

Carla: WOW!!!!!  It’s certainly not a boring job for you guys!!!!  LOL!!!!

Jason: Far from it!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: Anyways, don’t hesitate to let us know if you think we’re going too fast and if the ride’s too bumpy for you.

Carla: Thank you!!!!  So far you 2 are doing just fine, so I can’t complain!!!!

Cam: Also let us know if you’re getting too cold, and we’ll provide you with a blanket from one of our toolboxes.

Carla: Thank you so much, you 2 are very kind!!!! ☺

C.K. Holliday and her train steam straight through the town of Elbe, through tunnels, up the side of a mountain through the Frozen Tundra, and over bridges while she cruises at a nice relaxing speed of 44 miles an hour.
Carla looks up and sees a beautiful sky full of stars as the train steams through the Tundra.

Carla: Amazing!!!!  It maybe cold out, but it’s still very beautiful out here.  I mean just look at the stars.

Cam then leans out the side of the cab, looks up and sees a beautiful green flash and giant ring around the moon.

Cam: WOW!!!!!  Check out the green flash and large ring around the moon!!!!!

Jason looks out his side of the cab too.

Jason: WOAH!!!!!  That is pretty awesome!!!

Cam: We sure take natural beauty like this for granted back in my world.

Jason: Thankfully this area has remained untouched and unspoiled, and the only way to see it is by train.

Carla: Last time the girls and I went through here, it was on our way back home, and we were all fast asleep, so we never got to enjoy this!!!!
I’m so glad I’m getting the chance to experience this now!!!!

Cam: And we’re glad to have you hear with us!!!!

Jason: Yeah, we RARELY to almost NEVER get guests up here in the cab with us except for VERY FEW train fanatics given that most cab rides happen during the day with our older and more senior crews.

Carla: Well thank you!!!!  It also gives me the chance to get to know you better Cam, especially after knowing how close he and Wendy are as best friends.  What got you into this anyway?

Jason: Not sure, I guess it’s because I grew up watching Thomas, and riding the Grand Bay Lake Railroad since I was little.  The trains here have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve grown attached to the trains and the crews that run and maintain them.
But why do I still love trains?  Well with a steam engine, you can see how it works, you can feel how it works, you can hear how it works, and you can swear that the machine is alive.  Steam locomotives have their own personalities like people, and you can see everything.  Where as a car has moving wheels, as does a more modern diesel, but you can’t see how it works.  You just put your keys in the ignition of a car, or press a button on a diesel and off you go.  This however really requires skill, experience, and teamwork to operate.

Cam: For me, my mom is half British, and a quarter of our family is from England.  In England the train is the main mode of transportation, and they take great pride in both train travel and preserving their old historic steam locomotives.  It’s through my Great Uncle, and seeing all his pictures from his childhood on old steam trains, plus my various visits to Disneyland, Walt Disney World, the Roaring Camp Railroad, and the California State Railroad as a kid, and seeing their steam engines in operation as well as talking with their train crews that really got me into this.  
Over the years I was invited up into the cab, got to ring the bell and blow the whistle A LOT, and when I turned 18, I got to operate one of these for the first time.  The passion kept growing from there.

Carla: WOW!!!!!  That is wonderful.  I only wish that the rest of the girls and I grew up with the luxury of having such a wonderful and fascinating interest.

Cam: Well, we’re happy we can finally share this with you and the rest girls now that you’re no longer bound by strict rules.

Carla: That rule of royal obligations binding us inside the castle walls was too outdated, and pointless.  What’s the point of it if none of us can really learn about the world that’s out there????!!!!

Cam: EXACTLY!!!!!  Which is why I’m glad that Troy, Princess Erika, and I permanently revoked that rule for good.

Carla: And I’m glad you did too!!!!!  We learn more with the rule gone now that we’re able to go out and explore than we ever have when we were stuck inside the castle walls.  So I’m eternally grateful that you, Troy, and Princess Erika got rid of that stupid rule. ☺

C.K. Holliday soon crests the mountain of the Frozen Tundra, and makes her way downhill into Eatonville where the dock manager holds a red light.

Jason: Red Light up ahead!!!!

Cam: That’s strange, I wonder what’s up?

Cam bumps C.K. Holliday’s throttle shut, and slows her down to a gentle stop at the Harbor loading dock as the Dock Manager walks up to the engine talk to him?

Cam: Hey, what’s up?

Dock Manager: Are you Grand Bay Lake 1?

Cam: Yes we are???!!!!   Why do you ask?

Dock Manager: I have some cargo for you to take back to Grand Bay Lake!!!!

Cam: Of course!!!!!  We’ll pick that up, however, we have to make a run up to the northern terminal up in Tocoma because we need to drop off our friend Carla since she can’t teleport her way back.

Dock Manager: THAT’S GREAT!!!!!  Would you be willing to take some cargo up to Tocoma?
The Glennbrooke and Raton, Tocoma’s main locomotives, are down for their inspection, and the emergency back up diesel has broken down because of the horrible snow storm on Tuesday.  Therefor there hasn’t been any way to deliver this shipment of Christmas décorations to the Haraseeket Inn, the Historic Jekyll and Kimball Mansion, or the Cathedral Basilica Of The Immaculate Heart, and we need a train to make the delivery.

Cam: No problem!!!!  We’re going up there anyways, so why not?  

Dock Manager: WONDERFUL!!!!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Cam: And while you’re loading up, we’ll take advantage to top off our fuel and water levels.

Dock Manager: I have 2 workmen here who can help with that!!!!

Cam: Awesome!!!!!  Alright Carla, we’re gonna pick up some cargo to take up to the northern terminal, so the guys here are gonna load up the supplies and top off our fuel and water levels.

Carla: No problem!!!!  You guys do what’s necessary!!!!

Jason: I’ll go down and oil up the valve gear.

Cam: Sounds good, I’ll top off the oil in the hydrostatic lubricator.  

Cam reaches over to one of the tender’s toolboxes and gets out a crescent wrench as Jason climbs out of the cab, grabs an oil can, and heads to the front of the locomotive to oil the valve gear.
Workmen set to work on loading up all the cargo full of Christmas decorations bound for Tocoma onto C.K. Holliday’s freight cars, and also waste no time in topping off the fuel and water level in C.K. Holliday’s tender.
Cam clamps the crescent wrench down on the fastening nut on top of the hydrostatic lubricator, unscrews the nut with the use of the wrench and refills the hydrostatic lubricator with steam oil.

Carla: So, what is it you are doing there?

Cam: So what I’m doing now is I am topping off the steam oil level in the hydrostatic lubricator.  And this lubricator sends oil down to the steam cylinder engines at the front of the locomotive as well as the throttle valve up in the steam dome, and the Westinghouse Air compressor located on the left hand side of the locomotive, and keeps them lubricated using steam pressure.

Carla: WOW!!!!  Now what are these things here?

Cam: AHHHH!!!!!  These are perhaps our 2 most important gauges besides the main steam pressure gauge.  These are the water sight glasses, and what these do is they allow us to see what level the water is at inside of the boiler.  We need to make sure we have enough water in the boiler to turn into steam, because otherwise if we don’t have enough, the metal at the top of the firebox will soften, and eventually crack before the metal particles expand, and this whole thing blows up.
Fortunately this locomotive is equipped with a Mapo-system that triggers the emergency fuel shut off valve that puts out the fire and shuts off the engine if the water level in the sight glasses drop too low.

Carla: WOW!!!!  That’s a scary thought!!!!!  I’m glad you guys seem to know what you’re doing!!!!

Cam: Jason is very well trained, and despite my young age, I’ve been working with locomotives long enough not to mess around when it comes to the water level.
All of the crews on the Grand Bay Lake Railroad are VERY WELL trained, and if any of them trigger the Mapo-system on any of the locomotives, they’re automatically fired from the job unless they’re testing the system first thing in the morning.

Jason climbs back into the cab as Cam finishes tightening up the fastening nut on top of the hydrostatic lubricator.

Jason: Alright, the valve gear’s oiled!!!!!

Cam: The Hydrostat is topped off!!!!

Dock Manager: Your fuel and water levels are now full, and your train’s fully loaded!!!!

Conductor Ruben: WE’RE GOOD TO GET GOING AGAIN MR. CAM!!!!

Cam: Sounds good!!!!

C.K. Holliday and her train are soon back under way as they leave the town of Eatonville and head North towards Tocoma.  As the train steams its way up North, a pack of wild wolves spot the train and try to race it.  Carla however sees the wolves and freaks out given that she’s part cat.

Carla: GUYS!!!!!  GET THOSE WOLVES AWAY FROM THIS TRAIN!!!!!

Cam: I wouldn’t worry too much because it seems they’re more interested in racing the locomotive than they are of a girl whose part cat.

Carla: STILL, I DON’T WANT THOSE FILTHY CANINES NEAR ME!!!!!!

Cam: Judging that they’re on the left hand side of the train, It’ll be easier to scare them off.
Jason, turn on your injector, I want to raise our water level for a blow down.  We need to get these wolves away from the train.  They’re making Carla a little freaked out.

Carla: A LITTLE?????!!!!  I’M PART CAT IF YOU HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN, AND WOLVES EAT CATS!!!!!!

Jason: No problem!!!!

Cam opens the cylinder drain cocks before he and Jason open their ball lever valve lifting injectors, and get the water level passed 2 and a half bolts in the water sight glasses.

Cam: ALRIGHT, WE’RE AT 2 AND A HALF BOLTS!!!

Jason: BLOW DOWN!!!!!

Jason opens the blow down valve, and vaporized water comes blasting out of the left hand side of the locomotive dousing the wolves.
Cam also gives one VERY LOUD tug on the whistle chord with a……………..

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

This is more than enough to stop the wolves from chasing the train, and makes them run away.  Carla sighs in relief, now that the wolves have left.

Carla: I thought I was done for.

Cam: Don’t you worry Carla, those wolves wouldn’t mess with 13 and a half tons of locomotive and tender, so you were never really in danger.  Plus I have weapons in my item storage for defense if necessary.

Carla: *Blushes Bright Pink* Oh, right………………….I knew that…………….

Cam: Well, we’re just 10 miles away, so we’ll be in Tocoma REAL soon!!!!

Carla: That’s great!!!!  Again Thank you so much for doing this!!!!!

Cam: Hey, anything for a special friend.

Carla: The girls are probably getting worried about me now…………..

Cam then receives a text message on his phone from Princess Erika informing him that Grand Bay Lake’s main satellite has been fixed, and cell phone reception is back online.

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!  I just got a text from Princess Erika!!!!!  The city’s main satellite has been fixed, and we once again have cell phone reception!!!!

Jason: AWESOME!!!!

Carla: THAT’S WONDERFUL!!!!!

Meanwhile at the Haraseeket Inn, Chellia, and the rest of the girls are starting to worry.  They have not heard from Carla for the passed 4 and ½ hours.

Chelia: Hey girls, have any of you heard from Carla?

Manaka: I haven’t sadly……………I’ve tried calling and texting her but no luck………

Miuna: How long ago was that?  

Manaka: That was about an hour ago.  I doubt anything has changed…………….

Sayu: It’s almost 7:00 O-Clock, and there hasn’t been any word from her!!!!

Nina: I hope she’s okay…………

Ayumi: I’m sure she is………………

Wendy however remains silent.  She was too upset about not being able to call Cam, and not hearing a word from Carla just makes things worse.
Chelia tries her best to comfort her.

Chelia: Are you okay Wendy?

Wendy: No, I’m not okay……………….first I can’t call Cam, now no word from Carla for the passed few hours???!!!!!!  I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE I CAN TAKE!!!!!

Chelia wraps her arms around Wendy and gives her a big hug as she breaks down crying.

Chelia: There, there!!!!  No need to be a crybaby!!!!  I’m sure everything’s okay!!!!!  Carla’s a VERY tough cat, so I’m sure she’s just fine.
It’ll all be okay, you’ll see!!!!!

Suddenly Chelia receives a text from Carla.

Chelia: OH, Carla just texted me!!!!!!

Wendy: REALLY???!!!!!

Chelia: She said she’s on her way back, and there’s no need to worry.  She’ll explain everything soon!!!!
Ya see, there’s nothing to worry about!!!!

Chelia wipes Wendy’s tears, and Wendy begins to smile.

Wendy: You’re right Chelia!!!!!

Meanwhile C.K. Holliday and her train steam into the town of Tocoma.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8fqjtltUYk
(From 0:30-onwards)

Jason tugs on C.K. Holliday’s bell chord and rings the bell as the train steams through the town.
C.K. Holliday soon approaches a grade crossing where a bunch of cars cross the track at the crossing.

Jason: WE HAVE A CROSSING, BUT PEOPLE ARE BEING IDIOTS AND ARE NOT NOTICING US!!!!!  THEY’RE DRIVING LIKE THEY DON’T KNOW WE’RE COMING!!!!!

Cam: NO PROBLEM!!!!  KEEP RINGING THAT BELL, I’LL LET THEM KNOW!!!!!

Cam gives one VERY LOUD and MIGHTY tug on C.K. Holliday’s whistle chord as he blows the 4 whistle grade crossing blast with a…………………

WHoooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo, WHOOO-OOOOO, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure enough all road traffic halts as C.K. Holliday steams over the grade crossing.  However the whistle blast is so loud that Wendy and the rest of the girls can hear it all the way from the Haraseeket Inn.

Chelia: WOAH!!!!!  DO YOU GIRLS HEAR THAT????!!!!

Sayu: That sounds like a train!!!!

Ayumi: I haven’t heard any trains during our stay here AT ALL!!!!!

Chelia receives another text from Carla.

Chelia: I just got another text from Carla and she says that her teleporting crystal isn’t working, so Cam had to give her a ride on his assigned train.  Which means, that must be her coming in on Cam’s train!!!!!

Wendy suddenly gets off her butt and runs out of the hotel without hesitation.

Chelia: HEY, WENDY GET BACK HERE!!!!

Chelia then chases after Wendy.

Manaka: AWWWWWWWWW MAN!!!!!  WHY DO WE HAVE TO RUN OUT INTO THIS COLD WEATHER!!!!!

As Wendy makes her way to the Train Station Platform, she sees the bright light from C.K. Holliday’s headlamp, and powerful glow of the fire reflecting off the ground as C.K. Holliday steams into the station with her whistle blowing and bell ringing with a………………..

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOO!!!!!!

CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLAN-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG………………

She then feels the roar and vibration from the firebox, hears the huffing and puffing of the Westinghouse Air Compressor, the knock of the connecting rods, the hissing of the cylinder drain cocks, sees the beautiful dark blue boiler jacket and gold brass gleaming in the moonlight along with the beautiful colors of the locomotive as Cam brings C.K. Holliday to a slow and gentle stop in a bunch of clouds of smoke and steam just a few feet in front of her.

Cam: Alrighty, here we are!!!!!

Jason: I’ll top off our water!!!!!

Cam: I’ll oil the valve gear!!!!!

Jason climbs out of C.K.’s cab on one side, before Cam grabs a hold of an oil can, climbs out of C.K.’s cab on the other side, gently takes Carla’s hand, and helps her disembark.

Carla: Thank you so much Cam!!!!!  Really!!!!

Cam: Anything for a friend.

As some of the clouds of steam clears up, Wendy runs up to Carla and gives her a big hug.

Wendy: CARLA!!!!!

Carla: Hey Wendy!!!!!

Wendy: I AM SO GLAD YOU’RE SAFE CARLA!!!!!!

A few tears pour down Wendy’s face, and soon Carla’s too.

Carla: Child, please don’t cry because you’re making me cry.

Wendy: I’m sorry, I’m just so happy you’re okay!!!!!

Carla: Rest assured Child; everything’s going to be just fine. ☺

Cam attempts to oil the valve gear of the locomotive but Wendy grabs his hand before he has the chance.

Wendy: Cam…………………

Cam: (UH-OH, I’M IN TROUBLE!!!)  Yes Wendy?

Wendy: Thank you so much for bringing Carla back safely……………….

Cam: Of course!!!!!

Wendy then wraps her arms around Cam and breaks down crying her eyes out.

Wendy: CAM, I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!   Crying or Very sad  Crying or Very sad  Crying or Very sad  Crying or Very sad

Cam: I missed you too Wendy!!!!

Wendy: I tried calling you, but wasn’t able to get through to you……………..I was worried something had happened to you!!!!!

Cam: Unfortunately Tuesday Night’s awful snowstorm destroyed the main satellite that provides service to cell phones and other mobile devices.
Not to mention it blew A LOT of our power cables and breaker boxes, and poor Herbie was buried under blankets of snow.
To top it off the city’s main lacrima that allows the use of magic teleporting crystals was heavily damaged, so Jason and I had to bring Carla back by train.  Luckily we were gonna make a final run to Eatonville to pick up the last of the supplies we need to finish things up.  Also because both locomotives used on the Elbe & Tocoma Railroad line are out of service for repairs, we were asked to bring a train full of supplies here, so it worked out!!!!

Wendy then gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek and holds it longer than usual.

Wendy: I’m so glad you’re okay Cam.

Cam: Hey, if something was seriously wrong, your hotel would have been called by landline, and you would have been notified right away.

Wendy: They still use landlines????!!!!!

Cam: Of course in case of emergencies!!!!!  Troy and I still have a landline in our house back in our world in case of emergencies.  

Wendy: That makes sense……………….

Cam: I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to personally inform you about what’s going on or keep you updated……….

Wendy: Na-ah, it’s okay!!!!!  I’m just glad you’re safe!!!!  And you will be here for my birthday tomorrow right????!!!!!

Cam: Of course!!!!!  That remains the same!!!!

Wendy: Thank you……………

Cam: Also I am happy to say that you will be back home tomorrow at 5:00 O-Clock sharp!!!!!

Carla: And he’s telling the truth Wendy.  I saw everything myself, and we will be home tomorrow!!!!

Carla discretely winks at Cam, promising to keep the big surprise of the holiday celebration a secret, and Cam winks back having acknowledged the message.

Jason: ALRIGHT, OUR WATER’S FULL!!!!!

Conductor Ruben: Mr. Cam, the workmen just finished unloading the last of the cargo, so we’re ready to make the last pick up in Eatonville before we head home!!!!

Cam: Thanks Ruben!!!!!  Go ahead, we’ll be departing in just a minute!!!!  I just need to finish oiling up the valve gear; it won’t even take 5 seconds!!!!

Conductor Ruben: Very well!!!!

Cam then finishes oiling up the last of C.K.’s valve gear before he puts the oil can back in the cab.

Wendy: This really is amazing watching you guys working on the train.

Carla: I was saying the exact same thing!!!!  There’s really a lot going on!!!!

Cam: Well I must get going, but I promise I’ll meet you in Main Street USA Tomorrow night at 5:00 O-Clock on the dot!!!!

Cam then hooks his pinky with Wendy’s as tears of joy pour down her face.

Wendy: Thank you!!!!!  IT’S A PROMISE!!!!!

Wendy then gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek before Cam climbs back into C.K. Holliday’s cab.

Wendy: Oh, by the way, please promise me you’ll text me once you’re back in Grand Bay Lake because you know I worry about you………..

Cam: You got it.

Before Cam could sit down in the engineer’s seat Wendy extends her pinky one more time, and Cam gets on his knees, leans over, and hooks his pinky with Wendy’s.

Wendy: See you tomorrow Cam!!!!

Cam: Most definitely Wendy. ☺

Wendy: Good night, sweet dreams!!!!

Cam: Sleep well Princess Wendy!!!!
Cam sits back down in the engineer’s seat and Jason sits back down in the fireman’s seat as Conductor Ruben gives the high sign.

Conductor Ruben: ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!!

Cam: ALRIGHT JASON, OPEN HER UP!!!!!  ONCE WE LEAVE EATONVILLE, LET’S GIVE HER EVERYTHING SHE’S GOT AND SEE WHAT SHE CAN DO!!!!!

Jason: SOUNDS GOOD!!!!

Conductor Ruben: GBL 1 YOU HAVE A HIGH BALL!!!!

Cam: HIGHBALL GBL 1!!!!!!!

Jason closes up his ball lever lifting injector valve, closes the blower valve half a turn, opens up his atomizer have of a turn, tugs on the bell chord, and rings the bell.
Cam throws his Johnson Bar/Reverser in reverse, releases the brakes, opens the cylinder drain cocks, gives 3 blasts on the whistle, eases the throttle open, and C.K. Holliday gracefully backs out of Tocoma Station with her whistle blowing and bell ringing with a………………..

WHooooooOOOOOOOOO, WHooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo……………

CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG…………………….

In a bunch of clouds of smoke and steam as Jason opens up the firebox door, pours a can of sand into the firebox before opening up the blow down valve.

Jason: BLOW DOWN!!!!

Cam: BLOW DOWN!!!!!

Vaporized water comes jetting out of the left hand side of the locomotive as Cam gives another blast on the whistle with a……………..

WHoooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Wendy: GOOD NIGHT CAM!!!!!  TRAVEL SAFE OKAY????!!!!!!!

Carla: PLEASE LET US KNOW WHEN YOU’RE SAFELY HOME!!!!!!

Cam gives 2 more blasts on the whistle in acknowledgement with a……….

WHOOOOOO, WHOOOOOO!!!!!!!

As Wendy, Carla, Chelia and the rest of the girls wave good bye while watching C.K. Holliday steam off into the night.

Carla: He really is a very sweet and wonderful boy………………

Wendy: He is isn’t he???!!!!!

Carla: I can see why you REALLY like him!!!! LOL!!!!

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK* Carla, you didn’t tell him anything did you???!!!!!

Carla: Maybe???!!!!! *Giggles*

Wendy: WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM?????!!!!!

But before Carla could answer Cam gives the 4 whistle grade crossing blast on C.K. Holliday’s single chime Lunkenheimer whistle with a……………….

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOO-OOOOO, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOO, WHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

As C.K. Holliday and her train roll over the town’s grade crossing.

Carla: Sorry, but the train’s whistle was too loud for me to say.  LOL!!!!! (For once I’m glad Cam likes to blow it loud!!!! LOL!!!!)

Wendy: CARLA?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carla: OH MY, LOOK AT THE TIME, I GOTTA GO!!!!!  

Carla makes a mad dash for her hotel room, but Wendy isn’t having any of it.

Wendy: CARLA????!!!!!!!!  WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM?????!!!!!!!!  

Wendy then takes off chasing after Carla blushing brightly of embarrassment.

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHTER PINK* YOU BETTER NOT HAVE TOLD HIM ANYTHING ABOUT ME LIKING HIM!!!!!!!!!!  CARLA, YOU GET BACK HERE!!!!!!!!!

Chelia and the rest of the girls burst out laughing.

Chelia: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!  SHE’S JUST SO CUTE WHEN SHE’S LIKE THIS!!!!!!

Nina: She doesn’t get mad very easily, but is so adorable when she does!!!!!

Ayumi: She’s even cuter when it comes to her huge crush on Cam!!!!!

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHTER PINK*  WHAT???????!!!!!!!!!!  NO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!  YOU ACTUALLY TOLD HIM THAT I SAID THAT ABOUT HIM???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  CARLA???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!  YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN’T!!!!!!!!

Carla: OOPS!!!!!!! *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  MUST HAVE BEEN A SLIP OF THE TONGUE!!!!!!  LOL!!!!!!!!

Manaka: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!  She’s even more adorable when she’s embarrassed.

Miuna: I wonder what it must feel like to be in love???!!!!

Sayu: But she does know that Cam’s taken right????!!!!!

Chelia: I kinda question that since he and Princess Mackenzie haven’t really been going anywhere in their relationship!!!

Ayumi: How do you know that?

Chelia: I talked to his sister Princess Erika during a phone call shortly before we were kicked out of the castle, and according to her, Cam says that she’s pressuring him into things he’s not quite ready for, such as the forbidden 3 letter word that we're not allowed to talk about.  She also is hogging him away from things he likes to do just so they can hang out, makes him feel like a third wheel when he's the only guy hanging out with the rest of her friends, and he’s just been too scared to tell her.  I also heard that she's been pretty abusive to him too, and that's sad................

Manaka: That’s kind of a red flag right there because if you’re with someone you really love, you shouldn’t be afraid to tell em anything.

Ayumi: That really makes sense, and honestly I can see that Cam and Princess Mackenzie don’t have as good of chemistry as we all originally thought.

Chelia: That’s what I was thinking.  Their relationship is NOTHING like Troy’s with Princess Chloe!!!!!  Those 2 are inseparable!!!!!  Though I wish that wasn’t the case.

Nina: I’m sorry Chelia…………..

Chelia: It’s okay, I’ve still got plenty of time to find my true love, but………….

Miuna: We all worry about Wendy………….

Manaka: She’s just so cute, innocent, and adorable.  Although she’s a lot tougher than she looks physically, she’s VERY fragile and delicate on the inside.

Nina: She has what you call a glass heart................

Sayu: Which is why we must do what we can to protect her……………

Chelia: And support her no matter what happens.

Ayumi: She is first in line to the royal throne after all!!!!

Chelia: Exactly, so she can't give up because she gets first dibs when it comes to finding and marrying her true love!!!!

Nina: Of course!!!

Chelia: Also Cam is her first love, and that will never change for as long as she lives.  

Miuna: But hopefully she does end up with him someday because she deserves to be happy with the boy she loves.

Chelia: I feel the same way, and we can only hope that happens.

Manaka: Now lets go inside because I’m REALLY getting cold out here!!!!!

Ayumi: Me too!!!!

Chelia and the rest of the girls get back inside the hotel.
Meanwhile C.K. Holliday turns her train around on a wye, and is facing forward again, and en-route back to Eatonville to pick up the last of the cargo before heading back for home.
C.K. was making good timing.  She was running VERY smoothly at a good 52 miles an hour, her fire was burning nicely, her pressure gauge needle was reading 150 PSI and did not budge a single inch.  

Jason: Hey Cam, did you super glue the pressure gauge needle to 150???  That thing hasn’t budged AT ALL!!!!!  Not even a single millimeter since we left Grand Bay Lake.

Cam: No I didn’t, I was gonna ask you the same thing!!!!!!! LOL!!!!  Well, the crews don’t call this the Cadillac of the fleet for nothing!!!!!

Jason: By far my favorite engine in the fleet!!!!!

Cam: Number #5 may have my heart, but this engine is a VERY CLOSE second favorite!!!!!

Jason: WOW!!!!!  WE’RE ARRIVING IN EATONVILLE ALREADY I SEE!!!!!

Cam: Quick load, top off the water, and go!!!!!

Jason: Sounds good!!!!!!

C.K. Holliday makes a quick stop in Eatonville to load up the last of the cargo bound back to Grand Bay Lake while Jason tops off the water level.
Workmen hustle and shout while loading up the last crates of Christmas decorations.
The water in the tender is soon topped off, the last door bangs, the guard shines his green lamp, and Conductor Ruben gives the high sign.

Conductor Ruben: ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!!!

And C.K. Holliday is soon en-route back home.

Cam: WOW!!!!!!  That must have been the fastest load up and water top off we have ever done!!!!!

Jason: Only 2 and a half minutes!!!!

Cam: That must be a new record!!!!!

C.K. Holliday is soon steaming beautifully along the track as she makes a mad dash down the railroad line through the Frozen Tundra en-route for home………..

Cam: Oh I forgot, I must text Troy and Erika to notify them that we’re on our way back.

Jason: We’re doing VERY GOOD on time!!!!  It’s only 8:25!!!!!

Cam: Not bad at all!!!!!

C.K. Continues steaming off into the night with her injectors running, fire burning, and throttle open.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwkuussUUHI

Music:
Clickety clack………………
Whistle blowing………….
Bells are ringing…………….
People coming and going when riding the trains to the destination…………...
It's Christmas Time at the railway station.

Everyone smiles as they pass by…………………...
Moms and Dads with the presents………………….
Piled up the sky…………………….
And the carolers singing songs of celebration……………..
It's Christmas Time at the railway station.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!!!  WE’RE BACK HOME!!!!!

Jason: AND WE’RE MAKING VERY GOOD TIME!!!!

Cam gently slows C.K. Holliday back down to the Grand Bay Lake Railroad’s maximum speed limit of 32 miles an hour as she rolls over switch back onto the Grand Bay Lake Railroad’s main line.

Music:
Family and friends greeting each other
And hurry on their way
To The Homes they fill with Christmas Cheer
On this winter holiday...............


It isn’t long until Troy and Princess Erika hear Cam give one VERY LONG and one short blast on the whistle with a…………

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

As C.K. Holliday and her train round the bend coming into Main Street Station.

Troy: AWESOME, HE’S BACK!!!!

Princess Erika: I SEE, HERE HE COMES!!!!

Music:
So bundle up tight, it's time to go………………
We're riding the train through the dancing snow…………….
From town to town all across the nation……………………
It's Christmas Time........................
At the railway station………………..

C.K. Holliday comes steaming into Main Street Station with her whistle blowing with another…………

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOOO!!!!!

Along with her bell ringing with a…………………..

CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLAN-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG………………

As well as her headlamp shining, firebox roaring, fire glowing and burning, cylinder drain cocks hissing, Westinghouse Air Compressor huffing and puffing, connecting rods knocking, and beautiful dark blue boiler jacket and gold brass gleaming in the moonlight.
Cam gently bumps C.K. Holliday’s throttle shut and brings her train to a nice gentle stop in Main Street Station before throwing her Johnson Bar/Reverser in reverse, and giving one blast on the whistle with a……………..

WHooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Cam: ALRIGHT, WE’RE BACK!!!!

Jason: Johnson Bar Stop I see????!!!!!!  IMPRESSIVE!!!!!

Cam: Took YEARS to master!!!!!!

Troy: WOW!!!!!  IT’S BARELY 9:15!!!!!!

Princess Erika: YOU MADE SOME VERY GOOD TIME!!!!!

Cam: Hey, we were going very well, and the weather’s rather nice so it couldn’t have been more perfect.  Also Carla’s safely back with the rest of the girls.

Troy: The Mayor, Johnny 5, Erika, and I have arranged Transportation for them tomorrow.

Princess Erika: They’ll take a stretch limo from their hotel to Eatonville, hop on my brand new royal yacht there, and will be here at 5:00 O-Clock Sharp tomorrow night!!!!

Cam: That sounds perfect!!!!!

Workmen waste no time unloading the last of the Christmas decoration including the Town Square’s Christmas Tree Topper.

Mayor: And there it is……………….THE CHRISTMAS TREE STAR!!!!!!

Troy: WOW THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

A Papillon AS-350 B-2 A-STAR helicopter hovers over Main Street Train Station and lowers a set of cables.  The cables are then fastened to the Christmas Tree Star, the helicopter gently lifts the beautiful star up high into the air, and is soon hovering over the top of the giant Christmas Tree.
The Star is soon gently lowered on top of the Christmas Tree, and workmen on high ladders disconnect the cables holding the star to the helicopter, and plug in the star’s power cable to the rest of the Christmas lights.
With the Star plugged in, it lights up like magic and shines it’s beautiful bright LED Colors!!!!!

Troy: WOW!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: THAT IS SOOOOOOOO PRETTY!!!!!!

Mayor: WOW!!!!!!  NEVER HAVE I SEEN TOWN SQUARE LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Princess Erika then tackles Cam to the ground before lifting up her ballet tutu skirt, straddling her legs on the side of Cam’s waist, and sitting on top of him like she usually does.

Princess Erika: Way to go Cam!!!!!  I’m very proud of you!!!!!

Cam: Erika, do you have to sit on me every time you tackle me to the ground?

Princess Erika: DUH!!!!!  How else can I get your attention and keep it???!!!!!  A little girl can only do so much when she’s so tiny you know????!!!! *Giggles*

Cam: Well I guess it can’t be avoided!!!!

Princess Erika then gives Cam a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Princess Erika: Again, way to go Cam!!!!!  You’ve been absolutely AMAZING!!!!  And thanks to you, we’re getting EVERYTHING done on time!!!!

Cam: We’re Literally RIGHT DOWN TO THE WIRE!!!!! LOL!!!!

Princess Erika: At least you pulled through Cam, and I’m very proud of you!!!!

Troy: As am I, and it seems Carla is too.

Cam: She will always be someone special to us, and I’m glad we got to show her around.

Princess Erika: Hey, it’s not the end of the world now that she knows!!!!

Troy: And she left MUCH happier knowing that what we’re doing is something special for her and everyone else here!!!!

Cam: And she gave us her word, she’s keeping it a secret from Princess Wendy and the rest of the other girls.

Princess Erika: And that’s what really matters!!!!!

Cam: Now time for me to send Wendy and Carla a text to let them know that I’ve arrived home safely.

Cam then sends Wendy and Carla a text notifying them.
Back at the Haraseeket Inn in Tocoma, Wendy is absolutely ecstatic when she sees Cam’s text as is Carla.

Carla: Well he’s arrived safely back home in Grand Bay Lake.

Wendy: And I am so happy!!!!  Sweet Dreams Cam.

Carla responds sending Cam a happy face while Wendy responds sending him a heart.  Smile  <3

Troy: How sweet, Carla sent you a smiley face!!!!

Princess Erika: Awwwwwwwwwww, Princess Wendy sent you a heart!!!!!!  HOW CUTE!!!!!  Princess Wendy is just SO ADORABLE!!!!!!

Cam: And now that they’ve been notified it’s time for me to take this train back stage to the roundhouse, and get it cleaned and polished for testing in a couple hours.

Princess Erika: Mind if Troy and I come along with you?

Cam: Not at all!!!!  Let’s go!!!!!


To Be Continued…………………….

Chapter 16

Final Preparations & Testing Part 1


Rob, Jim, and the rest of the roundhouse maintenance crew finish up with the final finishing touches on C.K. Holliday and her Holiday II Train Consist.
The locomotive’s beautiful brass, boiler jacket, steam cylinder jackets, headlamp, and front number plate receive coats of polish before garlands, ribbons, and Christmas lights are strung across the beautiful brass boiler handrails, running boards, smoke box supports, and front pilot deck.
Icicle LEDs are dangling all the way around the roof trim molding of the cab, garlands are string along the lipped collar around the top of the tender tank as well as a strand of white LEDs, and colored LEDS are strung along the top of the tender decking around the tender frame.
A beautiful ribbon is wrapped around the headlamp bezel, and a fire proof Christmas Wreathe is placed on the very front of the smoke box around the front number plate.
A large fake snow blanket is placed along the top of the tender, and presents are placed on top of the snow blanket covering the entire oil tank, but leave an opening for the fuel hatch, and they give enough clearance for the water hatch.
Across the railroad yard in the car shop, all 7 coaches receive garlands, ribbons, and LEDs all along the bottom frame, roof trim, and along the red striped passenger barriers located on the right hand side of each train car.
Icicle LEDs are strung along the entire top of the side trim along the roof as well as the striped canvas running along the right hand side of the sightseeing cattle cars, and all the way around the sightseeing gondolas, with beautiful garlands and ribbons, and small Christmas bells.
On the caboose garlands ribbons, and beautiful icicle LEDs are dangling all the way around along the bottom side trim of the roof, beautiful garlands and strands of LEDs are strung all the way around the outside of the cupola, Christmas Wreathes and Christmas bells hang on the exterior side wood panels of the caboose, and beautiful garlands, ribbons, and LED strands wrap around the front and rear handrail grab irons and stanchions.
Inside the caboose, garlands, ribbons, Christmas Colored LEDs, and ornaments are hung EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Rob: ALRIGHT, THIS TRAIN IS LOOKING AMAZING!!!!!

Jim: KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!

Troy and Erika have never been back stage to the roundhouse before, and are completely blown away at how each train is beautifully decorated inside and out whether it be a locomotive inside the roundhouse, or a train consist across the way in the car shop.

Troy: WOW!!!!!  I’m normally not comfortable going back stage to the roundhouse area, but WOW!!!!!!  I’m loving how all these trains have turned out.

Princess Erika: They are ALL SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!  Each one is decorated very uniquely.

Cam checks up on the progress of Ward Kimball Number #5’s reassembly.

Cam: Alright, we’re REALLY cutting it down to the wire with this engine, but I think we’re gonna make it!!!!

Jim: Juan and the rest of the crew from Mandez have been working non-stop on the 5!!!!

Rob: She had to be taken apart almost completely to receive a new coat of paint, and while we were at it, we’ve made a lot of necessary repairs that weren’t carried out during the big boiler retube back in August.

Jim: All 4 drive wheels and the front 2 pilot wheels had to come out for new crimson red paint and golden yellow stars on the hubs, so we figured, why not re-machine the tire tread and flanges?
And that’s what we did, and we’ve also had the crank-pins re-quartered too.

Rob: New axle bearings have been installed all 4 drive wheels, and both pilot wheels, the frame has received minor patch welds to strengthen a few weak spots, but fortunately not a lot of weak spots were found in the frame, so the frame repairs were pretty straight forward.

Jim: Also since the front and rear cylinder head and valve head covers had to come off for repainting, we opened up the steam chest and re-machined the valve head, we’ve lightly honed the insides of the cylinders, we re-machined the pistons, we put new rings on the pistons, we re-machined the front and rear cylinder heads, and replaced both cylinder and valve head gaskets.

Rob: We also re-machined the side rods, valve gear eccentrics, replaced all the bearings on the valve gear linkages, replaced all the rod bearings, and had everything retimed.

Jim: The tender truck had to come out for us to remove the tender tank for repainting, so while we repainted and patch welded the entire bottom of the tender tank to both fix a water leak and install a new water overflow, we replaced the bottom diamond plate where the tender tank sits on.
The electric steam turbine generator that resides inside of the left hand side toolbox was wearing out, so we took it out and replaced it with a new one.  We also have a new turbine generator exhaust pipe plumbed to go straight down into the under carriage, and of course we have new sound dampeners installed otherwise the constant whine would drive the fireman crazy!!!! LOL!!!
We’ve also taken out the front tender axle to repaint the wheels from purple to crimson red to match the rest of the wheels on the locomotive.

Rob: Also to repaint the cab, the cab had to come off, so we took the cab off, and patched some of the rotted wood, and treated the rest of the wood on the cab before repainting it.

Jim: Also all of the piping and gauges on the boiler back head had to be taken off along with the water lifting injector piping because the boiler jacket had to come off for repainting.
And while we were at it we took out the old Westinghouse Air Compressor and installed a brand new one.
The old air compressor is at Mandez being rebuilt, and will be put on another engine when it gets back!!! Smile

Rob: The domes, brass handrails, bell, and cradle had to come off, and so did the whistle and safety valves.

Jim: The Star Brass 5-chime that Engine 5 usually wears has a frog in it’s throat because the main steel support in the middle has broken lose on some of the brazing, and that’s causing the step top bell section of the whistle to tilt to one side and not play all the musical notes in a blast.
So Mandez will be taking it to Chris Razzoli for repairs.
However, Roger E. Broggie Number #7’s 4-inch Crosby 3-chime was left behind, and was found to be in really good shape, so we’ll be putting that on the 5.

Rob: Mandez is in the process of cleaning the whistle out, giving the bell a final polish, and touching up the red chamber interior.
It’ll look brand new when it’s on the engine.
We’re also putting on a brand new set of safety valves with the low pressure safety being calibrated for 163 PSI, and the high pressure being calibrated for 182 PSI.

Jim: We also had to take out A BUNCH of electrical wiring for the cab signals, and the Mapo System for the emergency low water alarm fuel shut off, and emergency high pressure safety valve alarm fuel shut off, but reinstallation is half way done.

Rob: The Bell cradle and domes received new coats of paint, new gold leafing, and new beautiful delicate pin-striping.  The bell has been beautifully and gently re-machined, and has received a brand new coat of crimson red paint for its interior as well as on the clapper.  The outside of the bell has also been beautifully polished.

Jim: The front pilot/cow-catcher was also removed.  The wood work was patched, and treated before the cow-catcher was repainted.  The paint shop has just finished putting on the delicate pin-striping, and you can see that our friends from Mandez are carefully reinstalling the pilot as we speak.

Rob: The headlamp has also received a new coat of paint, and while we wanted to keep a silhouette of Jiminy Cricket one side to honor Ward Kimball, we also wanted to honor Princess Wendy since this is her favorite engine, so we replaced Jiminy Cricket’s silhouette with one of Wendy Marvell on the left hand side of the headlamp.

Princess Erika: OH MY GOD, SHE IS GONNA FREAK OUT WHEN SHE SEES THAT!!!!!

Cam: Hey, this is her favorite engine, so I felt we should put her stamp on it.  
My stamp is also on it too since I’ve signed the inside of the cab before it was covered by new coats of primer, paint, and reinstalled.

Jim: You can see that the entire locomotive is almost COMPLETELY back together, and we have the boxes of Christmas decorations sitting next to her ready to be put on.

Rob: We just need to finish re-plumbing the steam turret, pressure gauges, and the new ball lever injector valves.

Jim: She’s practically gonna be like a brand new engine when she’s done.

Rob: She’ll be good to go for at least another 5-7 years, maybe 10 if we’re lucky!!!!

Jim: And you can see that some of the repairmen are going inside of the drop pit, and they’re replacing the ash-pan fastening bolts that fasten the ash-pan to the bottom of the boiler.

Rob: We also had the ENTIRE Firebox COMPLETELY re-bricked again, and the new brick motar is almost dry and ready to take the heat.  And even though she was re-tubed over the summer, we took out all the tubes and re-tubed her again.

Jim: We also fixed a leak in the throttle valve, wrapped the steam pipes with new insulation, and have a new balance spring placed in the Johnson Bar Reverser.

Cam: WOW!!!!!  A LOT of extensive work has been done on her over the course of a little less than a week!!!!!!

Jim: The type of and amount of work being done on Number #5 usually takes MONTHS to get done, but is just taking a matter of days Thanks to Mandez.

Rob: They understand that we’re down a locomotive with Roger E. Broggie Number #7 out of service for an overhaul, and are doing everything they can to have Number #5 out of service for as little time as possible.  

Juan: If we keep going at the pace we are going, she’ll be good and ready to go by tomorrow afternoon!!!!!

Rob: And it looks like Number #5 will probably be our main workhorse locomotive during night operations for years to come.


Troy: And I’m sure you and Wendy are gonna be happy about that!!!!!

Cam: Of course!!!!!  However looking at the inside of the car shop, her train consist looks AMAZING from here!!!!

Rob: Yep, it sure does!!!!!

Jim: We did the same treatment to the Holiday IV Green Consist and Lilly Belle Parlor Car as we did on the Holiday II Red Consist.

Cam: And they look AMAZING!!!!!

Princess Erika: I SOOOOOOOO CAN’T WAIT FOR TOMORROW!!!!!

Troy: NEITHER CAN I!!!!!!

Cam: We had a few hiccups with the delay in the shipment of the Christmas Tree Stands, the horrible snow storm, don’t get me started me having to fill in for the organist at Notre Dame, plus the loss of electrical power in the fuse and breaker boxes, then having to spill the beans to Carla, but overall things are working out pretty well in the end.  ☺

Rob: Well it’s 11:00 O-Clock, the train is good to go, and we’ll be in the caboose with Conductor Ruben if you need us.

Cam: Awesome, sounds good!!!!
ALRIGHT EVERYONE, STOP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND TAKE A BREAK BECAUSE IT’S TIME TO HAVE SOME FUN, AND ENJOY THE DRESS REHEARSAL OF THE NEW HOLIDAY NIGHTTIME SPECTACULARS!!!!!

Everyone: AWESOME!!!!!

Juan: Yeah, why not???  Enough work has been done on Number #5 so far, so a short break won’t hurt.  

All the maintenance crews, fellow engineers, firemen, and conductors hop on C.K. Holliday’s train inside of the car shop and take their seats on the beautifully decorated Holiday II Red Train Consist.  Troy and Princess Erika hop back on C.K. Holliday’s tender seat as Cam and Jason do last minute maintenance on the engine.

Cam: Alright, valve gear is all oiled, hydrostat has been topped off…………….

Jason: Both our fuel and water are once again full………………

Cam: Time to get out of the roundhouse, and back up to our train in the car shop!!!!

Conductor Justin walks up to the engine and talks to Cam.

Conductor Justin: I'll line up the turn table for ya!!!!

Cam: THANKS!!!!

Jason rings the bell as Cam gives 2 blasts on the whistle, gently bumps the throttle open, and C.K. Holliday gently rolls out of the roundhouse and onto the turn table.

Jason: ALRIGHT, RED LIGHTS ARE FLASHING ON THE SIDES, SO STOP RIGHT THERE!!!!

Cam: GOT IT!!!!

With the red lights flashing on the sides of the turntable, Cam shuts C.K.'s throttle, and stops her right smack dab in the middle of the turntable.

Conductor Justin: ALRIGHT, I'LL LINE YOU UP!!!!

Conductor Justin grabs the turntable's wireless remote, presses a rotation arrow, and rotates the turntable until C.K. Holliday is lined up with the right stall with her Holiday II Red train consist in the car shop.

Conductor Justin: ALRIGHT!!!!  YOU'RE LINED UP!!!!

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!!

Conductor Justin lines locks the turntable in place as Jason rings the bell again before Cam gives 3 blasts on C.K.'s whistle, gently bumps open her throttle, and backs her off the turntable, into the car shop, and couples C.K. Holliday up to her assigned Holiday II Red Train Consist.

Conductor Justin: ALRIGHT KEEP GOING, YOU'VE GOT IT.....................THERE!!!!

A solid CLUNK is heard, signaling that C.K. Holliday was now coupled onto her assigned train.  Conductor Justin then connects the air hoses and safety chains between C.K. Holliday and her assigned train before he makes his way to his assigned position on the train.

Jason: ALRIGHT, we are coupled!!!!

Cam: And with that we are good to go head out onto the mainline.

Princess Erika: SOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!

Cam then picks up the locomotive radio’s microphone and makes a call to Station Master Edward.

Cam: Main Street Station 1, this is GBL 1!!!!  Be advised we’re leaving the roundhouse, and en-route back onto the Main Line.

Station Master Edward: Sounds Good!!!!  Proceed safe!!!!

Jason rings the bell as Cam gives 2 blasts on the whistle, eases the throttle open, and C.K. Holliday Number #1 hauls her beautifully decorated Holiday II Red Train consist out of the the car shop, out of the railroad yard, and onto the spur leading to the main line.

Jason: SWITCH LINED AHEAD!!!!

Cam: AWESOME, SWITCH LINED AHEAD!!!!!

C.K. Holliday soon steams back onto the Grand Bay Lake Railroad’s Main Line with the beautifully decorated Holiday II Train Consist in tow, and makes a direct non-stop run to Main Street Station.

Cam: Alrighty, we’re gonna pick up passengers in Main Street, and then head to Paradise Bay for World Of Color Season Of Light.
Then after World Of Color, we’re gonna get back on the train, head to Small World Façade Mall, watch the dress rehearsal for Christmas Fantasy Parade, and then the fireworks.  Afterwards Rob and Jim will take over the train, and we’ll head back home.

Troy: Sounds good!!!!

Princess Erika: I don’t have ballet practice until Monday, and I only have cheerleading for a basketball game on Saturday.  However, I do have figure skating tomorrow until 4:00…………

Cam: I thought you had the Winter Cheerleading Competition tomorrow at the Anaheim Convention Center?

Princess Erika: It got cancelled because it clashes with the figure skating competition, which got the spot at the convention center first, and the curator in charge of organizing the Cheerleading Competition came down with the H1N1 flu, and so they had no choice but to cancel the cheerleading competition, and let the figure skating competition take place.  And for that, I decided to participate in the figure skating competition instead!!!!

Cam: Makes sense!!!!

Troy: I’ve got things at the office tomorrow until 4:00 since we have a board meeting.

Cam: And I need to keep practicing on the Organ for Christmas Eve Mass, but I’ll try to make it for as much of the meeting as I can.
But anyway you put it, we’ll REALLY be cutting things close to the wire!!!!

Troy: Best you get here early, so if you have to skip the board meeting, SKIP the board meeting.  This takes top priority because we need you to make sure everything goes right.

Cam: Maybe it won't kill me to miss organ practice tomorrow, and we can move the board meeting to first thing in the morning, that way I can get here nice and early!!!!

Troy: PERFECT!!!!  THAT IS JUST WHAT WE WILL DO!!!!!

Princess Erika: You need to be here to greet Wendy on her 13th birthday because if none of us are here, she’ll have no one to greet her, and we can’t have that!!!!!

Troy: She's your best friend, and it's important that you're here to help make her birthday special for her!!!!

Cam: And I will make sure no detail gets overlooked during the final hours!!!!

C.K. Holliday soon steams her way into Main Street Train Station where A WHOLE LOT of the busy town’s people are waiting.
As soon as C.K. Holliday comes to a stop, Conductors Ruben and Justin open the gates to the station platform, and A LOT of people come scrambling onto the train until it’s COMPLETELY jam packed.

Conductor Justin: WE MANAGED TO GET JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY ON BOARD!!!!!!

Cam: BOO &..........

Princess Erika: YAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Troy: LOVE IT WHEN THINGS WORK OUT!!!!!!

Kalvin: HEY GUYS!!!!!!

EVERYBODY: GO HOME KALVIN!!!!!!!

Conductor Ruben: Kalvin, the railroad is only operating for those involved with the preparations for what’s to come starting tomorrow.  It will be stopping at Paradise Bay Station and staying there for at least 45 minutes.  Afterwards it will then be going to Small World Mall, stop there and hold there for another 45 minutes before coming straight back here to let everyone off.  Afterwards, it's getting put away, which may not be until 2:00 a.m.

Conductor Justin: This is a special train just for town workers, helicopter pilots, monorail pilots, the train crews, bakers, chefs, contractors, hotel employees, and others involved with the decorating for the Magic Kingdom's VERY FIRST Holiday Celebration that starts tomorrow along with their friends and families of course.

Conductor Ruben: Those who were not able to fit on this train are taking the monorail to the Ticket & Transportation Center, and then taking a bus to Paradise Bay.  Others are taking sleigh rides, taxis, or walking.

Conductor Justin: And again this is for Town’s People, and their friends & family ONLY!!!!!

Mayor: Causing Trouble again Kalvin????!!!!!

Kalvin: Hey, I just saw the train running, and since it’s a Thursday, thought it was back in service doing its usual night runs.  I guess I didn’t see anything posted about the railroad being out of service.

Cam: For 2 weeks straight, the train was ONLY hauling freight, so this is the first passenger train we’re hauling in almost 2 weeks.
However train service returns to normal starting tomorrow.
But as much as I’d hate to admit it, better you’re here now than tomorrow.
The reason I say this is, tomorrow is Princess Wendy Marvell’s 13th Birthday, and I don’t know how to put this politely but we don’t want you ruining her birthday celebration tomorrow.  
She is my best friend, and I'd do ANYTHING for her!!!!!!

Everybody: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Cam: You’re a handful, and unfortunately WAY too big of a handful for any of us to handle.  Princess Wendy doesn’t say anything about you because she’s WAY too nice, and hates hurting people’s feelings.  But I’m saying this on her behalf.  We want her to have an amazing celebration, and you crashing it would ruin everything.  So if you’re here tonight, it better be tonight than tomorrow.

Kalvin: OH, do you guys really hate me that much???!!!!

Cam: No one hates you Kalvin, but you can be a VERY annoying pain in the ass, and you drive EVERYONE NUTS!!!!  It’s unfortunately too much for any of us to handle.
I understand you mean well, but my friends and I don’t want to be dealing with someone whose always getting into trouble, or being an annoying pest.
Love letters to one of our conductors, taking pictures inside of the cab with the flash on while during a training session, always coming up to the cab uninvited, and I also heard from our friend who works on the boat that you got upset at him for getting in a relationship with a girl you fell in love with.

Kalvin: WAIT A MINUTE, HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL OF THAT????!!!!!  And is that person on the boat you're talking about Will?

Cam: I’m the Royal King of The Magic Kingdom, and am given emails from management of multiple operations.  They notify me of when you’re getting into trouble.
And because my twin brother Troy is the Magic Kingdom’s Royal Duke and my lead knight, and Princess Erika is my younger sister and ruler of the Underwater Castaway Sapphire Bay Kingdom, they are both notified as well.
So all 3 of us know when you’re getting into trouble.
And yes, the person on the boat I am talking about is Will.  He is one of Troy's, Princess Erika's, and my closest friends, and he doesn't hesitate to notify us when you're up to no good.

Kalvin: Oh……………..I guess that explains it…………..

Cam: I don’t normally do this, but since you’re here tonight, we’d rather have you here tonight, so we can get dealing with you out of the way, so we won’t have to deal with you tomorrow on Princess Wendy’s 13th Birthday.
So try to see if you can find a seat on this train.
Please be respectful of ALL the town’s people during the dress rehearsal of the Holiday Nighttime Spectaculars, and DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT TAKE ANY PICTURES OR VIDEOS!!!!!!  This is all a dress rehearsal JUST for Cast members who have worked their asses off to get the upcoming holiday celebrations ready for the new Holiday Season that’s coming here starting tomorrow.
So if I hear a SINGLE complaint from ANYONE, security will be notified, and you will be escorted by security to either a hotel room, or back to your car if you drove here.  Your parents will be notified, and your visiting privileges will be suspended indefinitely.  Do we have an understanding?

Kalvin: Yes, your royal highness.

Cam: Good, now try to see if you can find an empty seat.  We’re just about to leave.

Everyone on the ENTIRE TRAIN bursts out clapping in an uproar round of applause for they are impressed with how well Cam handled the situation.

Troy: WOW!!!!!!  THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!

Conductor Ruben: As much as I don’t wanna deal with him, you’re right!!!!!  Better we deal with him tonight than tomorrow!!!!!

Conductor Justin: And thanks to you, he has to behave!!!!!

Princess Erika: VERY WELL HANDLED CAM, I AM SOOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!

Troy: YOU HANDLED THAT LIKE A PRO!!!!!!

Cam: I do not want Wendy’s Birthday celebration to be ruined, so let’s just get it over with tonight, so we can have fun, and give Wendy a birthday she will never forget tomorrow!!!!

Kalvin finds himself an empty seat in the VERY front car behind the locomotive and sits down.

Conductor Justin: ALRIGHT, EVERYONE’S ON BOARD SO ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!

Conductor Ruben: GBL 1, YOU HAVE A HIGHBALL!!!!!

Cam: 10-4!!!!!!!  HIGHBALL GBL 1!!!!!!!!!

C.K. Holliday gracefully steams out of Main Street Train Station with her whistle blowing and bell ringing, and beautiful Soft White Christmas LED Lights shining in thick clouds of smoke and steam.

Cam: Alright, time for the colors of the Christmas lights on the train to change.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_DTWTyL744&list=RDT_DTWTyL744&start_radio=1

Cam presses a button, and the LED lights on the ENTIRE Train change colors, and this causes EVERYONE on the train to burst out clapping into a round of applause.

Troy: WOAH!!!!!  THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!

Princess Erika: WOW!!!!!!  THIS WHOLE CITY LOOKS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!

Troy: JUST THE TRAIN IS ENOUGH TO BLOW ME AWAY, BUT THIS CITY IS WOW!!!!!

Cam: AND WE THOUGHT LAS VEGAS WAS BEAUTIFUL?????!!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: THIS IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH DISNEY!!!!!

As C.K. Holliday steams her way around the Magical City of Grand Bay Lake, the train passes by BEAUTIFULLY lit buildings, steams over beautifully lit bridges, through beautifully and colorfully lit tunnels, and over beautiful and colorfully lit lake water.
And the more C.K. and her train steamed by so many beautifully lit sites, the more everyone on the train and all over the city clapped and cheered in an uproar round of applause announcing that the Holiday Season is coming to the Most Magical City in the entire Magic Kingdom.

Cam: WOW, This little engine has been nothing but a REAL TROOPER today!!!!

Jason: I know!!!!  She was the first train out at 6:00 a.m. this morning, had to make 3 runs to Eatonville and back, then we had to take Carla ALL THE WAY up to Tocoma, and to top it off we had to take a load of Christmas ornaments there!!!!
Then we had to pick up the Town Square’s Christmas Tree Star in Eatonville and bring it back down here.
NOW she’s the assigned engine for the Worker’s Special!!!!

Cam: And she’s been running like a champ non stop!!!!!  It’s no wonder she’s the crew’s favorite!!!!

Troy: I will say, this is a VERY BEAUTIFUL Train!!!!!  Much like that from classic Western movies.

Princess Erika: I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!!  IT’s such a pretty train, and it looks very iconic too!!!!!

Jason: She is a classic 4-4-0 American, so she’s VERY POPULAR amongst railfans and non-railfans alike.

Cam: And she is the second oldest locomotive in ALL of the Magic Kingdom after Endeavour Number #2, and the first locomotive to operate on the original loop of the Grand Bay Lake Railroad, so everybody whose been coming here have nothing but fond memories of the train, and those fond memories were often with this engine!!!!

Jason: Heck we’re pulling the original train cars from 1955 that were the first to go around the original loop, so it’s perfect that this is Tonight’s Special as the first train to run for the Magic Kingdom’s VERY FIRST Holiday Season!!!!

Cam: And it’s VERY appropriate that she carries the Number #1!!!!

Jason: I completely agree!!!!

Troy: I may not be a huge fan of trains, but I LOVE The ones we have here!!!!

Princess Erika: Grand Bay Lake would NOT be the same without em!!!!!

C.K. Holliday steams into Paradise Bay Station, and stops right at the water tower before EVERYONE disembarks and finds a place to stand for viewing of World Of Color Season Of Light.
Rob, and Jim walk up to the locomotive to temporarily look after her.

Rob: We’ll take over while you and your siblings enjoy the show.

Jim: Yeah, this was your idea, so you 3 should enjoy!!!!

Cam: Thank you so very much!!!!

Rob: Of course, besides, we’ll get to enjoy it from here too, so it’s not like we’re missing out on anything at all!!!!

Cam: This never occurred to me until now, but this locomotive has reached multiple historic milestones in one day.

Rob: WOW!!!!!  I would have never thought that!!!!!

Cam: She was the VERY FIRST Grand Bay Lake Railroad locomotive to EVER go as far north as Tocoma since the C-19s don’t exactly count given that they’re NOT Grand Bay Lake Railroad locomotives, and are actually part of a railroad that’s based outside the city, but much further south.  We just keep them on our railroad to take care of them.  So C.K. Holliday is the VERY FIRST Grand Bay Lake Railroad locomotive to go as far North as Tocoma!!!!
She’s also the FIRST 4-4-0 American Class locomotive to REACH Tocoma in over 100 years, and the VERY FIRST 5/8 Scale locomotive to go as far North of Tocoma.
Plus She’s the VERY FIRST locomotive to run during the start of The Magic Kingdom’s VERY FIRST Holiday Season.

Jim: WOW!!!!!  YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!!!  

Jason: She’s also the second oldest locomotive in all of the ENTIRE MAGIC KINGDOM after Locomotive Endeavour Number #2, she’s the OLDEST operating locomotive IN ALL OF THE MAGIC KINGDOM, and this ENTIRE TRAIN you see here was the VERY FIRST TRAIN to run on the original loop of the Grand Bay Lake Railroad when it first opened back in 1955!!!!!

Rob: WOW!!!!!!  YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!!  THIS ENGINE HAS REACHED MULITPLE MILESTONES IN ITS LIFE, AND TODAY IT HAS REACHED MORE THAN ONE!!!!

Cam: I propose that on Christmas Day, that by the powers vested in me as the Royal King Of The Magic Kingdom, the powers vested in my brother Troy as the Royal Duke and my most trusted Knight, my sister Erika as The Ruler of The Underwater Castaway Sapphire Bay Kingdom, and the Mayor Of Grand Bay Lake, that we deem this locomotive and train as a Royal Magic Kingdom Historic Landmark.  

Troy: I am actually all for that!!!!!

Princess Erika: ME TOO!!!!

Jason: THAT SOUNDS GREAT!!!!!

Rob: That sounds like a WONDERFUL IDEA!!!!!

Jim: This engine is VERY under-recognized, and it’s time that she gets the recognition that she deserves!!!!!

Rob: Anyways, we’ll talk more about this later, you guys need to go find a good spot for the show!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Princess Erika: RIGHT!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika make their way to the V.I.P. Viewing area, and find room at the water’s edge just in time.  Princess Erika grabs Cam's hand, and lays her head on his shoulder as Cam plays with her Tutu Skirt, strokes her beautiful long blonde hair, and places his jacket on her shoulders causing her to giggle.

Princess Erika: THANK YOU SO MUCH CAM!!!!  I was starting to get cold!!! *Giggles*

Cam: AND THERE GO THE LIGHTS!!!!!

Troy: MAN I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!

Princess Erika: ME TOO!!!!!

The lights go dim, the colorful LED fountains dance and shoot high into that air, pipe organ recordings of Deck The Halls, Santa Clause Is Coming To Town, It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year, and Joy To The World play over the P/A System as beautiful Santa Faces and Snow Flakes show up on the water projections.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08nychqWszo&t=740s

Troy: WOW!!!!!  WE EVEN GOT THE INTRO PERFECTLY MATCHED!!!!!

Cam: IT WAS ADDED THIS YEAR AFTER WORLD OF COLOR BEING CLOSED FOR AN 18-MONTH RENOVATION BACK AT DISNEYLAND!!!!

Princess Erika: IT LOOKS REALLY AMAZING!!!!

Soon after the spectacular Intro, the fountains dance more slowly, and beautiful projections of Disney characters celebrating the holidays show up on the water.
The projections show Mickey Mouse, Pluto, and many other Disney Characters decorating their homes for the holidays and getting into the spirit of Christmas.

Troy: And there’s the mistletoe!!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: DO NOT make me stand under that thing!!!!

Princess Erika: *Bursts Out Laughing*  Hey, no need to be shy Cam!!!!!
I DARE YOU TO STAND UNDER IT WITH WENDY!!!!!

Cam: IT WOULD ONLY PISS YOU AND MACKENZIE OFF!!!!!  NOT TO MENTION CARLA WOULD TURN ME INTO CAT NIP!!!!!!

Princess Erika: Why do you say that???!!!

Cam: *BLUSHES DARK RED*  Because it would mean us having to LOCK LIPS!!!!!

Princess Erika: On second thought, BAD IDEA!!!!! (I’M NOT READY TO GIVE YOU TO ANOTHER GIRL YET!!!!!  MACKENZIE HAS ALREADY FAILED GETTING PASSED ME, WHERE AS WENDY STILL HAS A FEW TRIALS TO PASS IN ORDER TO GET BY ME!!!) *Giggles*

The water projections then show our Disney friends playing in the snow, and skating on the ice.  Princess Erika has a good laugh when it comes to the ice skating.

Troy: DON’T MAKE US SKATE AGAIN!!!!

Princess Erika: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  COME ON, IT’S NOT THAT HARD!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: HEY, YOU KICK OUR ASSES WHEN IT COMES TO SKATING, SO WE’RE NO MATCH!!!!!

Princess Erika: TRUE!!!! *Giggles*

Troy: Unfortunately poor Goofy can’t really ski!!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: He can, but only by accident!!!! LOL!!!!

Princess Erika: AWESOME, ANNA & ELSA BUILDING THEIR SNOW MAN!!!!!

Troy: And Goofy Just crashed!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: And this song from James Taylor is CLASSIC!!!! LOL!!!!

Princess Erika: Baby it sure is cold outside!!!! LOL!!!!!

Cam: Oh, if you think the Disney Princesses are dancing now, I replaced Sadness’s ridiculous sad part of Blue Christmas and replaced it with Fantasmic’s World Of Color & Earth Illuminations On The Rivers Of Light’s Prince and Princess dancing scene but it’s shorter, and snowfall is incorporated into the projections.

Troy: VERY CLEVER!!!!!  I never did like Sadness’s Blue Christmas scene.

Princess Erika: It’s kinda boring so good call!!!!!

Cam: That’s how I felt!!!!!

Troy: Besides it will mean A LOT more to Wendy, Chelia, and the rest of the girls because they REALLY LOVE the prince & princess dance scene from the normal show.

Princess Erika: AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!  THERE’S LADY AS A PUPPY WHEN JIM GIVES HER TO DARLING AS THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT SHE’S ALWAYS WANTED!!!!

Cam: UH-OH BOY!!!!!!

Troy: We’ve heard the hint once, we’ve heard it 1000 times!!!!

Cam: We all know how much you want a puppy for Christmas!!!!

Princess Erika: Hey!!!!  A little girl can dream, can’t she????!!!!!  *Puppy Eyes*

Troy: And we’ve seen those puppy eyes before, so we’ll see.

Cam: Not confirming nor denying anything, and we’ll leave it at that!!!!

Troy: Now this part always brings me to tears………..

Cam: Same here; ESPECIALLY when it comes to Dumbo and his mom.

Princess Erika: By far one of the most beautiful parts of the show……..

Troy: The parents celebrating the holidays with their children…………….

Cam: And now it becomes ridiculous because it’s celebrating Christmas in Hawaii!!!!

Troy: Christmas in Hawaii doesn’t feel real AT ALL!!!!!

Princess Erika: As much as I LOVE Hawaii, and making a visit there before Christmas; celebrating Christmas there just doesn’t seem right!!!!

Cam: No snow, hot tropical climate, no pine trees, and overall it just feels WEIRD!!!!
It still boggles my mind on why Chloe, Mackenzie and their families have decided to go to Maui for Christmas!!!!

Troy: But Lilo & Stitch are cool though!!!!

But that was soon replaced with Donald Duck and the rest of the 3 Caballeros dancing to Jose Feliciano’s Feliz Navidad.

Cam: Now I can NEVER get tired of this song during the holidays!!!!

Troy: It’s a classic!!!!!

Princess Erika: AND THERE’S YOU GUYS PLAYING IT ON GUITAR!!!!!

Cam and Troy have a look, and low and behold a small 5 second video shot of Cam and Troy playing Feliz Navidad on the guitar does pop up on the water projections.

Cam: WOW!!!!  Would you look at that????!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: I kinda snuck that shot to one of the technicians while in Town Square when you guys were gone.

Troy: Hey, why not????!!!!

Cam: It’s a good song, and we enjoy the holiday season as much as anyone!!!
I just feel sorry for Donald Duck!!!! LOL!!!

Princess Erika: Yeah, the poor guy’s getting trampled!!!!!  LOL!!!!

Troy: And blown up by the fountains!!!! LOL!!!

Poor Donald Duck just can’t seem to catch a break. LOL!!!
Soon there’s a small break, and the beautiful LED fountains shoot high into the air and form the shape of a giant Green Christmas Tree with a beautiful gold star at the top.  
However, the projections change to scenes from Fantasia with a remix of the Nutcracker playing on the P/A System.

Cam: UH-OH!!!!  I hear a remix of the nutcracker.

Princess Erika: UUUUGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!  Please don’t even remind me!!!!!  It’s on Christmas Eve and it ends just one hour before Christmas Eve Mass!!!!  UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Troy: Well I still say it’s appropriate given that you’re still in your ballet tutu!!!! LOL!!!

Princess Erika: OH, HA HA!!!!!  Very funny!!!! -_-
It’s uncomfortable wearing this thing, and without my tights my legs are FREEZING!!!!  Yet the tights make wearing this thing EVEN MORE uncomfortable because I can't wear underwear then!!!!!!  UUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!!  GEEZE, WHAT A LITTLE GIRL HAS TO GO THROUGH!!!! -_-

Cam & Troy: LOL!!!!!  JUST BE GLAD YOU DON’T HAVE TO SMASH THROUGH 7 BLOCKS OF ICE LIKE WE DID IN KARATE!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Princess Erika: You wouldn’t be so happy if it was you having to perform in The Nutcracker on Christmas Eve!!!!!

Cam: Hey, I have to fill in for the organist for Christmas Eve Mass, and I don’t want to be reminded of that, so we’re even!!!!!

Princess Erika: You're right, you've got it worse, so I can let you off the hook Cam!!!

Troy: Hey, impressive fountain display though!!!

Cam: But this is the BEST PART!!!!

Goofy: NOW PLUG HER IN AND LET THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS SHINE!!!!

As the projections show Max plugging in the Christmas lights, Rock & Roll Christmas Music begins playing over the P/A System, the beautiful LED fountains change multiple colors and dance hard and fast in multiple different directions, lasers begin shining all over the water projections, the fountains shoot high into the air, and powerful fire fountains shoot high into the air too.

Troy: MOST DEFINITELY THE BEST PART!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: WOW!!!!!!

EVERYONE in ALL of paradise Bay bursts out into a massive round of applause as they watch the spectacular dancing fountain, laser, and fire fountain show light up the entire viewing area.
But unfortunately Goofy gets electrocuted in the end making EVERYONE laugh.

Goofy: Well, that will put the spirit of Christmas in Ya!!!! Uh-Yuka HOOO, HOOOO, HOOOO, HOOOOO, HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

After the fountains shoot high into the air, the Page Master’s Whatever You Imagine begins playing on the P/A System, and multiple princes and princesses dance on the water projections along with the glowing of beautiful Christmas Candles and beautiful snowflakes falling.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjbJS1k5Adw

Cam, Troy, & Princess Erika: Wendy’s favorite part!!!!

Cam & Troy: Beat’s Sadness’s lame Blue Christmas bit!!!! LOL!!!!

After the special Prince and Princess dance segment of the show, beautiful magic moments of love, romance, friendship, and happiness from both Disney and Non Disney films show up on the water projections.

Troy: I know you love that movie!!!!!

Cam: A Little Engine That Could is a great film!!!!  No villains, but an emergency occurs, and a hero rises out of nowhere out of the goodness of his heart!!!!  To top it off, the Disneyland Railroad's Ward Kimball Number #5 was used in that movie for MOST of the filming.  Though some bits were CGIed and the firemen firing the engine had to wear green suits to give the illusion that the engine was firing itself though.

Princess Erika: I enjoyed it too for most the VERY same reason!!!!

Troy: Awesome, there’s Hunchback of Notre Dame!!!!!

Cam: Wreck It Ralph!!!!

Princess Erika: DREAMS DO COME TRUE: A CINDERELLA STORY AND A HAPPILY EVER AFTER CHRISTMAS!!!!

Troy: UP!!!!!

Princess Erika: And Tangled & Frozen!!!!

Cam: No surprise!!!!! LOL!!!!

Troy: But Peace On Earth is such a BEAUTIFUL SONG and those Fountains match it BEAUTIFULLY!!!!!

With Peace On Earth as the closing song for the finale, the beautiful LED fountains shoot over 400 feet high into the air in BEAUTIFUL colors as beautiful lasers shine all over Paradise Bay.
After one final and might blast from the beautiful LED fountains, the lights turn on, David Wilcocks Hark The Herald Angels Sing comes on over the P/A System in an Epilogue, and the ENTIRE viewing area turns into an uproar round of applause for everyone was blown away by the beautiful show, World Of Color Season Of Light!!!!

Chapter 17

Final Preparations & Testing Part 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TL2geAbJGY

Cam: WE NAILED IT BANG ON!!!!!

Princess Erika: I THINK I ENJOY THAT MORE THAN FANTASMIC’S WORLD OF COLOR & EARTH ILLUMINATIONS ON THE RIVERS OF LIGHT!!!!

Troy: THIS SHOW IS MORE PLAIN AND SIMPLE, AND I FEEL THAT GOES A LONGER WAYS!!!!

Cam: ESPECIALLY SINCE IT’S HOLIDAY THEMED!!!!

Princess Erika: AND THIS IS JUST THE START!!!!!

Cam: BACK TO THE TRAIN!!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika make a mad dash back to their locomotive just in the nick of time where Jim and Rob are waiting for them.  
Jason meets up with them shortly after.

Jason: HEY GUYS, BEFORE THE SHOW, I GOT US PIZZA FROM THE CHII-CHII'S PIZZA STAND THERE!!!!!

Cam: AWESOME, THANKS MAN!!!!!!

Jim: Did you guys enjoy the show???!!!!!

Princess Erika: WE SURE DID!!!!  DID YOU???!!!!!

Rob: VERY BEAUTIFUL AND VERY WELL DONE!!!!!

Jim: I liked it better than our usual show Fantasmic’s World Of Color & Earth Illuminations On The Rivers Of Light.

Rob: That’s a good show, but it’s too long, and tries a little too hard.  This was more plain and simple with just dancing water, beautiful Christmas music, and nice projections.

Cam: It’s A LOT less expensive too!!!!

Jason: *Bursts out laughing* I’m not surprised, but I like it just as much!!!!

Jim: Well, you’re engine’s water level’s been topped off, we’ve oiled the valve gear, and she’s good to go!!!!

Rob: We’ll be in the caboose if you need us!!!!

Cam: Thank you very much!!!!

Cam and Jason climb back into C.K. Holliday’s cab as Troy and Princess Erika climb back aboard and sit on C.K.’s tender seat before fastening their seat belts.

Jason: Alright, we’re still at a full head of steam!!!!

Everyone soon makes their way back aboard the train including Kalvin.

Cam: And there’s Mr. Troublemaker Kalvin!!!!! LOL!!!!

Troy: Has he caused any problems yet???!!!!

Princess Erika: Oh, I sure hope not!!!!

Cam: So far no, but that can still change!!!!

Soon everyone is back aboard the train, and ALL of Paradise Bay is cleared out.

Cam: Alright!!!!  It looks like we’re ready to go!!!!

Conductor Justin: Paradise Bay is clear of all cast members!!!!!

The conductors then give the high sign.

Conductor Justin: ALL ABOARD!!!!!

Conductor Ruben: GBL 1, YOU HAVE A HIGHBALL!!!!!!

Cam: HIGHBALL GBL 1!!!!!!

Jason tugs on the bell chord as Cam gives 2 blasts on the whistle, eases the throttle open, and C.K. Holliday’s train is rolling back on the rails again in thick clouds of smoke and steam.

Troy: That went just as well as could have been expected!!!!

Princess Erika: I can’t wait for what we have to show them next!!!!!

Cam: And it’s just gonna get better from here!!!!!

C.K. Holliday and her train soon steam over a bridge, through a long tunnel, and passes by more beautifully lit buildings throughout the city.
The train then steams through a beautifully lit forest section full of lit trees and bushes, and soon steams through a section surrounded by beautiful mirrors with gorgeous Christmas lights strung above to give the illusion that there are more Christmas Lights than there really are.
Soon enough, C.K. Holliday and her train finally arrive at the Small World Façade Palace Mall area before coming to a slow and gentle stop right smack dab in the beautiful It’s A Small World Holiday Façade.
However, the whole area was dark.  Everyone looks at each other all flabbergasted and confused.  ESPECIALLY after seeing the rest of the entire beautiful city all fully lit and decorated.  
Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika only smile for they know what’s really going on and why the whole area is dark.

Cam: Well, we’re gonna give everyone another surprise!!!!

Troy: Right after they all go down to the viewing areas bellow.

Princess Erika: I SOOOOOOOOO CAN’T WAIT to see their reactions!!!!

Everyone soon disembarks the train and makes their way down to the viewing areas puzzled, but all that confusion turns into jaw drops and awes when they see the Nutcracker projection show appear on the beautiful Small World Holiday Façade.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhaOsfzCIqo

Troy: OH ERIKA???????!!!!!!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Princess Erika: UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!  AGAIN TROY, DON’T EVEN REMIND ME!!!!!!  -_-

Troy lifts up Princess Erika’s ballet tutu skirt and gropes Princess Erika on the butt literally embarrassing the hell out of her.

Princess Erika: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK* TROY, YOU PERVERT, I’LL GET YOU FOR THAT YOU JERK!!!!!

Troy: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!!!!!

Princess Erika:  YOU GET BACK HERE YOU JERK!!!!!!!  THAT HURT YOU KNOW???!!!!

Troy: HEY!!!!  YOU DON'T MIND WHEN CAM DOES IT!!!!!

Princess Erika: SHUT UP!!!!!!  A LITTLE GIRL IS SENSITIVE, YOU KNOW????!!!!!!!

Troy: WHOOPS!!!!! LOL!!!!!!

Princess Erika chases Troy ALL OVER the parade and fireworks viewing area during the entire duration of the projection show, but they both stop dead in their tracks when a massive uproar round of applause is heard ALL OVER the area once all the beautiful Christmas lights activate and flood the entire Small World Mall.

(up to 0:21)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzMYP1Bg2tM&t=213s


Everybody: YYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cam: WOW!!!!  THIS REALLY HAS PAID OFF!!!!!

Princess Erika: IT SURE HAS!!!!!

Troy: THIS IS ONLY GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!!!!!

Princess Erika: NOW WHERE WAS I AGAIN?????!!!!!!  OH YEAH, NOW I REMEMBER!!!!

Troy: UH-OH!!!!

Princess Erika attempts to tackle Troy to the ground, but Troy gets out of the way, and Princess Erika ends up tackling the wrong twin.

Cam: WAHT!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: THAT’S FOR GROPING MY BOTTOM IN PUBLIC, KNOCKING MY UNDERWEAR OUT OF PLACE, AND GIVING ME A NASTY WEDGIE YOU PERVERT!!!!!   *BLUSHES BRIGHTER PINK*…………….OH MY GOSH, CAM I’M SO SORRY!!!!!!  I’VE TACKLED THE WRONG TWIN!!!!

Cam: Took you long enough to figure that out????!!!!!

Princess Erika: Yeah, I’m sorry!!!!!  I only wanted to pay Troy back, but I ended up tackling you instead.  However, that’s not exactly a bad thing!!!! *Giggles*

Cam: UH-OH!!!!

Princess Erika then straddles her legs on the sides of Cam’s waist, and sits up on top of him as usual.

Princess Erika: NOW THIS IS MUCH BETTER!!!!! *GIGGLES*

Cam: HEY, NO FAIR!!!!!  I DIDN’T GROPE YOU, TROY DID!!!!  AND YET, WHY AM I THE ONE BEING PUNISHED FOR IT?????!!!!!!

Troy: Because she loves you more and has more fun torturing and playing with you!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Princess Erika: OH, HAAAAAA, HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAA VERY FUNNY!!!!!!

Troy: I'm Only Stating the Truth Erika!!!!

Princess Erika: Well, he isn't lying!!!! *GIGGLES*

Cam: *Eyes roll*  LUCKY ME!!!! LOL!!!!

Princess Erika gently strokes Cam’s face and gives him a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Princess Erika: Always know that a little girl rules over her big brothers!!!! *Giggles*

Cam: That’s what you think!!!!

Cam starts removing Princess Erika’s jacket off of her before he places his hands under her tutu skirt, and begins tickling her hips and waist sides causing her to laugh uncontrollably.

Princess Erika: *GIGGLES AND BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  CAM, STOP, YOU KNOW I’M VERY SENSITIVE AND TICKLISH THERE!!!!!  AH-HAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
CAM STOP, PLEASE, AH-HAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Princess Erika ends up laughing so hard that she ends up rolling off of Cam’s stomach and into the snow next him making her literally almost freeze to death.

Princess Erika: *SCREAMS*  AHHHH!!!!  CAM, YOU BOTH TOOK OFF MY JACKET AND KNOW I DON’T HAVE MY BALLET TIGHTS ON!!!!!  I LANDED IN ICY COLD SNOW WEARING ONLY MY TUTU YOU MEANIE!!!!!  I’LL GET YOU FOR THAT!!!!!

Cam: WHOOPS!!!!  Sorry, but I can’t have you pinning me down all the time!!!! LOL!!!!  Besides, how are you gonna get me back????!!!!

Princess Erika: Like this!!!!

Princess Erika grabs her jacket, and puts it back on.  She then picks up some snow, makes a snowball, and throws it in Cam’s face!!!!!

Cam: OWWWWWW!!!!!!

Princess Erika: *Giggles* That is for taking off my jacket and tickling me in a very sensitive area, and this………….

Princess Erika then makes another snowball and throws it in Cam’s face.

Cam: OWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Princess Erika: That is for making me get off of you, and landing my tiny freezing butt in cold snow WEARING ONLY MY TUTU!!!!! *Giggles* And by the way Troy, don’t think that I’m letting you off the hook with that butt grope!!!!!!

Princess Erika then makes 2 more snowballs and throws them both in Troy’s face.

Troy: OWWWWWW!!!!!  OH I AM PAYING YOU BACK FOR THAT LIL SIS!!!!!

Cam: SO AM I!!!!!!

Cam and Troy make snowballs and start throwing them at Princess Erika, but Princess Erika fights back and throws snow balls back at them, and it’s not long until all 3 of them are in a snowball fight.

Cam: I’M SOOOOO PAYING YOU BACK FOR THAT!!!!!

Princess Erika: NAAAA-AAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!  THERE’S NO WAY YOU CAN BEAT ME!!!!!

Troy: OH, I AM SOOOOO TROUNCING BOTH OF YOU!!!!!

Some of the town’s people watch the snowball fight and join in on the fun.
Soon it isn’t long until ALL of the Small World Mall area is in a massive snow ball fight, and the snow ball fight ends up into just playing in the snow, making snow angels, building snowmen, and having snow wrestling matches.

Cam: WOAH!!!!  I think we started a can of worms!!!!

Troy: This is what you’re supposed to do during the Holiday Season!!!

Princess Erika: It’s called having fun and playing in the snow!!!!  LOL!!!!

Soon the Jingle Bells Loop of It’s A Small World Holiday begins playing all over the Small World Holiday Mall area, and bakers come out handing out hot cookies and hot chocolate.

Princess Erika: OH MY GOSH, COOKIES AND HOT COCO SOUNDS PERFECT AFTER THAT STUNT YOU PULLED ON ME CAM!!!!!

Baker: Your Royal Highness Princess Erika, would you like some cookies and hot chocolate???!!!!

Princess Erika: YES PLEASE!!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Baker: What about you 2 Royal Highnesses King Camaro, and Royal Knight Troy????

Princess Erika: DON’T GIVE SOME TO THEM!!!!  Those meanies took my jacket off me, and pushed me into some icy cold snow when I was in just my tutu!!!! -_-  Therefor they don’t deserve any!!!!! *Giggles* Just kidding!!!!!

Cam: Actually, I’m good!!!!!

Troy: Same here, but thanks!!!!

Baker: No problem your highnesses!!!!

Princess Erika: Hey, you know I was just joking right???!!!!!

Cam: We knew, but we were serious!!!!  That pizza from Chii-Chii's filled me up!!!!

Troy: Yeah, I’m not particularly hungry after eating the pizza, so I’m good!!!!

Princess Erika: Okay, but please know that I was only joking!!!!

Cam: We know!!!

Cam gives Princess Erika gentle kiss on top of her head, and Princess Erika wraps her arm around his.

Princess Erika: I don’t know where I’d rather be than spending Christmas with the people that I love and care about the most.

Cam: Same here!!!!

Troy: Ditto!!!!

Grand Bay Lake’s Mayor soon walks up to Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika to give them a reminder.

Mayor: Okay you 3, it’s just 2 minutes to mid-night, the Christmas Fantasy Parade is in position, and the pyro-technicians have loaded the canons, and are ready to go.
So we should prepare to do the final count down.

Cam: Alrighty, thank you so very much!!!!

Troy: Sounds good!!!!

Princess Erika: We’ll make the countdown announcement right away!!!!

The Mayor hands a microphone to Cam, and Cam is the first to speak.


Cam: YOUR ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!!!

Everyone then quiets down, and gives their attention to Cam.

Cam: Thank you very much for joining us in kicking off the start of the Magic Kingdom’s VERY FIRST Holiday Celebration!!!

Troy: We know it’s very late and that you’re all tired and want to hit the sac, but we are here for one thing, and that is to celebrate our hard work and our accomplishments before the start of The Magic Kingdom’s VERY FIRST HOLIDAY CELEBRATION!!!!!

Soon some more of the bakers drive out with food vans and set up small stands so the town’s workers can taste test more of the cookies and hot chocolate.

Princess Erika: As you can see, we are now taste testing the cookies and hot coco, so feel free to help yourselves.  

Cam: It is now 11:59 P.M. and it’s time to get more of the test runs started.  So lets all do a count down and turn this Magical City Of Grand Bay Lake into one of the Merriest Places On Earth!!!!  

Troy: ARE YOU READY???!!!!!

Princess Erika: COUNT DOWN WITH US!!!!!

Everyone: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then suddenly out of nowhere, ALL the lights go out, and the music to The Christmas Fantasy Parade begins playing over the City’s P/A System.

Cam: LADIES & GENTLEMEN……………

Troy: BOYS & GIRLS……………..

Princess Erika: KING CAMARO, ROYAL KNIGHT AND DUKE TROY, THE CITY’S MAYOR, AND I PRINCESS ERIKA VON LUDWIG OF THE ROYAL CITY COUNSEL PROUDLY PRESENT TO YOU…………….

Mayor, Cam, Troy, & Princess Erika: A CHRISTMAS FANTASY PARADE!!!!!!!

Cam: PROUDLY SPONSORED BY DISNEY!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0MI9OSeKuk

Music:
It’s a special magic at Christmastime this year.
Hearts are gay and merry, and full of yuletide cheer!
The sprit of the season will make our dreams come true.
Memories of Christmas are here for me and you.
With caroling, bells ring-a-ling,
And Santa Claus will always be
Part of Christmas fantasy.
On this special holiday,
Old Saint Nick will load his sleigh.
Santa always finds his way
In a Christmas fantasy.
Children sing a bright encore,
Counting presents and keeping score.
No one sleeps the night before
A Christmas fantasy!

The Toy Soldiers soon march out onto the parade route banging their drums and blowing their trumpets.

Cam: I can’t believe that this is ACTUALLY HAPPENING!!!!

Troy: NEITHER CAN I!!!!!

Princess Erika: JUST LOOK AT EVERYONE’S FACES!!!!

Cam: I KNOW!!!!!  THIS IS REALLY GONNA BE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL FOR YEARS TO COME!!!!!!

Princess Erika grabs Cam's hand and holds it tightly in her hand while laying her head on his shoulder while Troy gently pats her on the head as the Christmas Fantasy Parade makes its way through Small World Mall.
Soon all of the parade floats make their way through Small World Mall, and are soon making their way towards Town Square.
Everyone is enjoying themselves enormously for none of them have never experienced a holiday parade like the Christmas Fantasy ever before in their lives.

Herbie: BEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!

Cam: HERE COMES HERBIE AND THE REST OF HIS FRIENDS!!!!!

Just after the Toyland segment of the parade passes, Herbie and his friends drive out onto the parade route.
Herbie is beautifully decorated with red smiling flowers on both sides of his number gumballs on the doors just like in Herbie Goes Bananas, while also wearing beautiful red and silver bells decaled on his 2 rear panels just behind his doors, but in front of his rear fenders.  He is also wearing a beautiful green ribbon on his front bonnet, his hood mounted Carello Fog Lamp has a beautiful LED bulb that changes color every few seconds, a beautiful red ribbon and Christmas Wreathe are hanging near the top of his rear engine cover just below the vent holes, and he has beautiful multi-color LED light strands running over his body, around his hood, and along his fenders.
And Herbie’s not the only VW Beetle dressed in Holiday Décor, but all of his friends are too.

Princess Erika: OH MY GOSH HERBIE AND HIS FRIENDS LOOK SOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!

Troy: The VW Beetle is a VERY iconic car, and honestly it’s the perfect kind of car to use in a Christmas parade given how human like it is!!!!!

Johnny 5 and the rest of his fellow robots follow after.

Johnny 5: ALRIGHT BOYS, FIRE AWAY!!!!!!!

Johnny 5 and the rest of his fellow bots get out their toy guns and shoot tinsel and confetti all along the route.
Soon Johnny 5 and his fellow robots wave at Cam, Troy, Princess Erika, and the Mayor.

Johnny 5: HEY GUYS!!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Princess Erika: HEY JOHNNY 5!!!!!!

Mayor: HOW ARE YOU LIKING IT????!!!!!!

Johnny 5: I’M HAVING A BLAST, HOW ABOUT YOU?????!!!!!!

Music:
The spirit of the season will make our dreams come true.
Memories of Christmas are here for me and you!
With caroling, bells ring-a-ling,
And Santa Claus will always be
Part of Christmas fantasy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After Santa Claus in his sleigh along with his elves, and his 9 tiny reindeer step out onto the parade route, and make their way through the Small World Mall area, the parade disappears, and vanishes out of site.
The ENTIRE CITY is soon in a HUGE uproar and round of applause after having experienced the brand new Grand Bay Lake Version of the amazing Christmas Fantasy Parade!!!!!

Cam: And now, here is the big one!!!!  The nighttime spectacular we have all been waiting for!!!  

Troy: This night time spectacular is something my twin brother Cam, and our little sister, and I see and enjoy EVERYTIME we visit Disneyland for the holidays.
It’s a show we have grown up seeing since we were all little, and we can never get enough of it in our world.

Princess Erika: This show has touched us in more ways than we can ever explain

Cam, Troy, & Princess Erika: And so without further a-due, We proudly present to you…………….
YOUR NEW FIRE WORKS SPECTACULAR!!!!!
BELIEVE IN HOLIDAY MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!

The lights ALL OVER The Magical City Of Grand Bay Lake go COMPLETELY dark as the beautiful soundtrack to Believe In Holiday Magic starts playing on the city’s P/A System.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_TFG6HcaBM&t=7s

Cam: And as Big Joe would say, WAH-UH-OH!!!!!  I CAN FEEL IT!!!!  IT’S A BIG ONE, IT’S A BIG ONE!!!!!!  HERE IT COMES, HERE IT COMES!!!!!!!!  FIRE THIS ONE IN THE HOLE!!!!!  LOL!!!!!!

Big Joe: HEY, SHUT UP YOU!!!!!!!

And with that the beautiful fireworks begin shooting off left and right before all goes silent. Then soon an old Lady’s voice is heard over the PA system.

Narrator:
Does Your Heart Hold The Magic Of The Holidays?
Is It Filled With Warm Memories, Just Waiting To Be Discovered Again?
Well Now Is The Time To Open Your Heart……
BELIEVE IN THAT MAGIC……
AND REMEMBER THOSE TREASURED MOMENTS……..
OH, THEY’RE STILL THERE!!!!
Waiting To Touch You Once More!!!!
SO COME ALONG AS THE MAGIC OF THE SEASON LEADS THE WAY!!!!!!

More beautiful fireworks shoot off left and right and soon the night skies of the Magical City Of Grand Bay Lake are lit up like never before as the beautiful soundtrack plays over the PA system.

Music:
Can you remember
How Christmas makes you feel
That special magic in the air
And all your dreams were real
Can you remember
The smell of ginger bread
Candy canes and sugar plums
That dance inside your head
Remember when the twinkling stars at night
Told you reindeer were in flight
And jolly Santa Claus was on his way
The warmth of candle glow
A kiss of mistletoe
And magic lives and we believe
It's in our hearts to STAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As the fireworks continue shooting off, everyone in their highrise condos, hotel rooms, and houses wake up after hearing all the banging.
Heck due to no wind at higher elevations, the banging of the fireworks is so loud and bright they can be seen as far away as the Haraseekett Inn in Tocoma.
Wendy even wakes up in the middle of the night and runs to her window to see what’s going on.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH!!!!  THOSE ARE SO PRETTY!!!!!  I wonder where they could be coming from???!!!!  Could they be coming from Grand Bay Lake????!!!!!!

Wendy sits on the window ledge while holding her Happy The Cat Plushy, and continues watching the fireworks shoot off.

Music:
Remember the caring
A season worth sharing
Believe in the magic in our lives
Just open up your heart
And relive the feeling
Just remember the magic
Yes, remember the magic
One more time!!!!!

And like in Disneyland, beautiful projections and holograms show up on the Small World Façade as the beautiful fireworks shoot off during the different segments, from the March Of The Toy Soldiers, to I’ll Be Home For Christmas, to We 3 Kings, To Silent Night, To Ring Christmas Belles, to the Nut Cracker segment.

Cam: It’s as beautiful here as it is in Disneyland!!!!

Troy: I’d say better due to more pyro-technics being used!!!!

Princess Erika: And that the whole city is surrounded by water!!!!

Princess Erika then snuggles into Cam's chest and holds his hand tighter as she continues enjoying the fireworks.

Princess Erika: *Sighs* I can just watch this show FOREVER!!!!!

Princess Erika holds Cam’s hand and lays her head on his shoulder while Troy gently pats Princess Erika’s head and gently strokes her face.

Cam: It always brings tears to my eyes given how beautiful and magical it really is.

Troy: No doubt the girls are going to love this!!!!

Princess Erika: They are going to be crying when they see this!!!!!

Everyone who is watching are completely blown away including the mayor, Dorion, Haji, Jim West, Artemus Gordon, Helmsley, Finn, Rami, Toby, Johnny 5 along with his fellow robots, Herbie, and all of his friends, but no one could prepare for the beautiful Finale……………

Music:
Treasure it again (Remember)
It never has to end (Joy of sharing)
Remember the magic in our lives (Remember the magic)
Just open up your heart
Embrace all those feelings
Just remember the meaning (Remember)
Yes, remember the feeling (Remember)
For all time
FOR ALL TIME!!!!!!

Narrator: Cherish the holidays forever, and always BELIEVE!!!!!!

And with that the last of the spectacular fireworks shoot off with multiple loud BANGS as the finale wraps up with all the beautiful Christmas colored fireworks lighting up the night sky.
The lights then gently turn back on and almost everyone is in tears for they have never seen or experienced such a beautiful fireworks spectacular before, nor were they expecting it to be so emotional.

Cam, Troy, & Princess Erika: BOOOO & YAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika high five one another before wrapping their arms around each other in a tight hug.

Cam: Good work!!!!

Troy: This is gonna be perhaps the biggest thing we have ever done!!!!!!

Princess Erika: This will be the most special birthday that Wendy will always remember for the rest of her life!!!!

Meanwhile Wendy sees the last of the fireworks shoot off.

Wendy: WOW!!!!  Those were so pretty, weren’t they Happy????!!!!!  I wonder where they were coming from or who was setting them off?  Again I wonder if it's in Grand Bay Lake???!!!!  It’s also such an odd time for them to go off, but we might not ever know.

Wendy then looks at the clock and sees that it’s already 12:45 a.m.

Wendy: WOW!!!!! I am now officially 13!!!!!  I can’t wait to celebrate my birthday with those I love.  And I especially can’t wait to see Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika again!!!!  I know this will be the most special birthday ever!!!!! *Giggles*

Back in Grand Bay Lake, everyone hops back aboard C.K. Holliday and her train as she prepares to set off back for Main Street.

Cam: Alrighty, it’s time to go back to Main Street.

Rob: Once back at Main Street, Jim and I will take over and put the train to bed!!!

Cam: Thank you very much!!!!

Jim: We’ll be in the caboose if you need us.

Conductor Justin: Alright, everyone is accounted for including Kalvin!!!!

Cam: Good!!!  Just give me the clearance and we’ll be on our way back to Main Street.

Princess Erika: This is gonna be so awesome!!!!  I SOOOOOO CAN’T WAIT FOR TOMORROW!!!!!

Troy: Neither Can I!!!!!  Unfortunately Princess Chloe won’t be able to make it because of finals coming up!!!  Then she’s off to vacation in Maui with Princess Mackenzie and her family.

Cam: Yep, Princess Mackenzie is bummed that she won’t be able to make it tomorrow because of finals, but she will call us and wish Wendy a happy birthday by phone call if she can.

Conductor Justin: ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!

Conductor Ruben: GBL 1 YOU HAVE A HIGHBALL!!!!

Cam: HIGHBALL GBL 1!!!!!

C.K. Holliday then steams out of the Beautiful It’s A Small World Holiday Façade with her whistle blowing and bell ringing in clouds of smoke and steam as she sets off for Main Street Station.
The Dress Rehearsals of the Holiday Nighttime Spectaculars went better than they expected, and with the comfort of knowing how well everything went, a very special day lies ahead for our friends, especially sweet little Wendy.

To Be Continued……………..

A Happily Ever After Christmas 2 Empty Re: A Happily Ever After Christmas 2

Post  Camaro_Von_Ludwig Fri Jan 01, 2021 2:28 am

Chapter 18

The Grinch Who Tries To Ruin It All!!!!

Early the next morning, the company board meeting is rescheduled to the earlier time of 10:00 a.m. to accommodate Cam’s busy afternoon.
Everyone sits down in the conference room ready to go over new orders for the Holiday Rush.

Cam: Good morning everyone, and thank you so very much for being very cooperative about the meeting’s reschedule.

Troy: As you know it’s the holiday season, we’re entering the holiday rush, and therefor it’s a very busy time of year right?

Cam: And with that being said, let’s get down to business and see how we’re doing so far…………….

As the board meeting kicks off at the Von Ludwig Gaming Corporation’s Headquarters, inside the Magic Kingdom on top of a mountain overlooking the beautifully decorated City of Grand Bay Lake, a certain green troublemaking monster known as The Grinch sees something he REALLY dislikes.

Grinch: OH NO!!!!!!  MAX!!!!!!

Max, the Grinch’s dog comes running to the Grinch’s side as soon as he is called.

Grinch: I WAS HOPING THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN HERE, BUT LOOK!!!!!!  CHRISTMAS IS HERE!!!!!

Max: WOOF, WOOF!!!!

Grinch: AND I HATE CHRISTMAS!!!!!  MAX!!!!!  WE’RE GOING DOWN THERE TO TRASH THE PLACE!!!!!

The Grinch goes back inside his cave, puts on his red Santa suit and shoes, and gets on his sleigh.

Grinch: MAX, LET’S GO!!!!!

The Grinch activates his sleigh and sleds down the mountain as the Grinch starts to wreak havoc.

Grinch:Q THE THEME MUSIC!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hj3U18FHgQ

Music:
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

Grinch: HAAAAAA, HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!  THERE WON’T BE ANY CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!  WOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Music:
You're a monster, Mr. Grinch
Your heart's an empty hole
Your brain is full of spiders, you've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

Unfortunately Mr. Grinch crashes his sleigh right on the parade route by the It’s A Small World Holiday Mall Façade.

Grinch: A CRASH LANDING IS ONE WAY TO START!!!!!  MAX!!!!!  LET’S DO SOME DAMAGE!!!!!
MAX!!!!!!  FOLLOW ME, I BELIEVE RODEO DRIVE IS THIS WAY!!!!!  WOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Music:
You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch
You have termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch
Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile!

Mr. Grinch trips on a set of wires turning off the Christmas music and fountains on the It’s A Small World Holiday Mall Façade, but it ends up working in his favor.

Grinch: WHOOPS!!!!!  CLUMSY ME!!!!!!  HAAAA, HAAAAAAA, HAAAAA, HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
LETS GO MAX!!!!!  THEME MUSIC PLEASE!!!!

Music:
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch
You're a nasty-wasty skunk
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote
"Stink, stank, stunk!"

As the Grinch walks off and makes his way over to Rodeo Drive, Herbie follows behind for he knows that the Grinch is up to no good.

Grinch: ALRIGHT, THERE HAS GOTTA BE A TOY STORE HERE SOME WHERE……………..AH, HAAAA THERE IT IS!!!!!!!
ALRIGHT MAX, TIME TO STEAL ALL THE TOYS!!!!!!

Mr. Grinch opens up his item storage, selects his giant vacuum and sucks out almost ALL the toys off the shelves leaving the toy store’s managers, and ALL the shoppers VERY PISSED OFF!!!!!  BUT, Mr. Grinch had forgotten to loot the back stock rooms where all the back-up toys are kept.

Store Manager: SORRY ABOUT THAT BUT NOT TO WORRY, WE HAVE PLENTY OF BACK UPS OF WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR IN THE STOCK ROOMS!!!!!

Music:
You're an asshole, Mr. Grinch
You're the king of sinful sots
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, mangled up in tangled up knots!

Mr. Grinch: ALRIGHT!!!!!  NOW TIME TO GET A GROCERY STORE!!!!!!

As the Grinch moves on to loot a grocery store for the big feast on Christmas Day, the steam crews are busy firing up all the trains.
Each steam train is looking more and more beautiful.
The crews from Mandez install the last of the parts on the boiler backhead of Ward Kimball Number #5.

Juan: ALRIGHT!!!!!  GREAT WORK EVERYONE!!!!!  TIME TO FILL UP HER BOILER WITH WATER, AND OIL TANK WITH FUEL, AND START WARMING HER UP!!!!!

Up at the Haraseekett Inn in Tocoma, Wendy and the rest of the girls wake up.

Carla: Good Morning Wendy!!!!!

Chelia: Happy Birthday Wendy!!!!

Manaka: Happy Birthday Sweetie!!!!

Ayumi: I hope you like the presents we got you!!!!!

Wendy: AWWWWWWWW GIRLS…………….THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

Carla: I’m not allowed to say much, but Cam has a VERY BIG surprise for you waiting back at home.

Wendy: AWWWWWWWWWW, He didn’t have to……………….

Carla: Believe me, it will make us getting kicked out of our home worth it!!!!!

Chelia: Let’s all get ready girls!!!!  We’ll be going home REALLY SOON!!!!

All the girls rush to the bathroom and set to work on getting ready when Poe knocks on the door.

Poe: Carla, it’s Poe & Ramsley!!  May we come in?

Carla: Sure, but not for long because the girls are all getting ready and may not be wearing any clothes when they get out of the bathroom since we’re all girls here.

Ramsley: No problem, it won’t be long!!!!

Carla: Okay!!!!

Carla lets Ramsley and Poe into the girl’s big suite.

Poe: It has come to our understanding that you were informed about what’s going on back at home.

Carla: Yes after not hearing any updates I went down and checked everything out.  

Ramsley: I’m sorry we couldn’t tell you, but Poe and I were under strict orders not to tell you girls, and are also under strict orders to look after you girls up here.

Carla: It’s okay, I’m glad I got to go see for myself and let’s just say we’re all very lucky to have such a wonderful friend.

Ramsley: Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika really care about you girls.

Poe: You all mean the world to them.

Carla: I know, and it makes me so happy to know that we have them in our lives.  I am especially grateful for Wendy’s sake.  She has matured so much thanks to them, ESPECIALLY Cam.  Although I’m bothered by the huge age difference, I’m glad he’s always there for her when she needs him.  It would be even better if he and Princess Mackenzie weren’t an item as much as I hate the age difference, but it is what it is.

Poe: Your highness, I’m not really allowed to say this, but I overheard a phone call Chelia had with Princess Erika, and apparently Cam’s relationship with Princess Mackenzie is on the fritz.

Carla: WHAT???!!!!!  YOU HAVE BEEN LISTENING IN ON A GIRL’S PRIVATE CONVERSATION????!!!!!

Poe: She was walking by my office in the castle during the conversation, so I couldn’t help but overhear.  But yes, their relationship is on the fritz.  

Carla: Still it is not polite to overhear on a girls private conversation you know?!!!!

Poe: Apparently from what Princess Erika has told Chelia, Princess Mackenzie’s been pressuring Cam into something that he’s not quite ready for.  Plus she hogs him from doing the things he loves, and makes him feel like a fish out of water given that they always hang out with just her girlfriends.  

Carla: OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH?????!!!!!  Do say!!!!!  LOL!!!!

Poe: Apparently, he wants to wait longer partly because he’s still too embarrassed about his bad habbit of nose bleeding when it comes to “THAT” kind of stuff, which we’re strictly not allowed to talk about in front of the girls.  However Mackenzie is losing patience, and is constantly pressuring him about it, but Cam is just not ready.

Carla: Oh dear!!  

Ramsley: Second reason, he just gets nervous when  “THAT” kind of thing is brought up!!!!!!  And "That" meaning S.E.X...............

Carla: I know what exactly what you mean; the poor guy.  She shouldn't rush him like that!!!

Poe: And thirdly he’s just scared.  No matter how many times he’s tried to tell her to slow down, she still pressures him, and so they haven’t been spending as much time together, and she’s not coming to Wendy’s birthday celebration because of school………

Ramsley: 4th he's had to cancel model train events in his world that he committed to months in advanced at the very last second..........

Poe: And 5th he had to lie to his best friend Mario of whom he promised to help out on racing team's pit crew on a race track in their world by calling in sick at the last second............

Carla: OH DEAR!!!!  Wendy would NEVER do anything like that!!!!!  She'd understand and respect Cam's plans, and takes advantage of her time away from him to spend time with the girls!!!!  The poor guy probably doesn't get much of a break!!!!

Poe: That's exactly how it is!!!!!

Ramsley: And she’s going on vacation with her family for Christmas, but……………

Poe: Cam and Princess Mackenzie’s failing relationship does play a role.

Ramsley: Princess Mackenzie is Cam’s first girlfriend, so Cam’s still going through trial and error periods.

Poe: I've also heard that she's been both physically and verbally abusive to him, and Cam has had enough.

Ramsley: Besides Princess Mackenzie plans on studying abroad in Japan this next upcoming year, and will be away for more than a year.

Poe: Long distance relationships never last very long anyways, and it seems that Cam wants out of this one.

Ramsley: Which is why I think he's been focusing more on his family in this world, aka you girls.

Poe: We’d thought you’d like to know………..

Carla: Interesting.  Thank you for letting me know!!!!  It seems that he and Wendy really aren’t so different after all!!!!

Ramsley: Princess Erika does say that age is only in numbers………….

Carla: She is right to an extent, but you know me……………

Poe: We understand that you're just trying to protect your best friend from getting hurt, and we respect that! Smile

Carla: Well I got the chance to personally know Cam better last night, and he's actually a very sweet boy.  If he and Wendy want to be more than just friends later on then I have no problem with it.  Also after hearing what you told me, I have even more respect for him, now that I know that he doesn't like to rush into things he's not ready for, and tries to stay committed to the things he loves.

Carla then hears the girls splashing about and making a mess in the bathroom while bathing.

Carla: Oh dear!!!!  I wonder what’s going on in there?

Ramsley: We’ll take our leave now your highness.

Poe: We see you have your hands full, so just call us if you need us.

Carla: Thank you!!!!
GIRLS, YOU BETTER NOW BE MAKING A MESS IN THERE!!!!!

Carla enters the bathroom and that is the end of that.
Meanwhile back in Grand Bay Lake, the Grinch is busy wreaking havoc ALL OVER the city.  He had just looted not only a grocery store, but 2!!!!!  He also raided a hardware store, the BIG video Game Store, Train World, Guitar Center, all the high end restaurants, all the hotel casinos, all the car dealerships, all the pizza parlors, a candy store, and the newly built Christmas store.
He was even raiding all the boxes full of the remaining Christmas Lights and decorations that are still yet to be put up.

Grinch: HAAAAA, HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!  FABULOUS!!!!!!!!  NOW TO TRANSPORT ALL THIS STUFF TO MY SLEIGH!!!!!  

The Grinch goes over to the Grand Floridian, and sneaks his way onto the tram route.

Grinch: PERFECT MAX!!!!!  We’ll steal one of those things, and use it to haul all of our loot back to our sleigh!!!!  Then we’ll take down all the Christmas lights and decorations, and haul them all back too!!!!!  HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!  THEME MUSIC!!!!

Music:
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super "naus"!
You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!!!!

Tram Driver Tim: Alright Manny!!!!  LET’S START UP M307, AND GET HER GOING!!!!

Tram RT Manny: SOUNDS GOOD TIM!!!!

But before Tim and Manny could start up Tram M307, the Grinch climbs in the cab, depresses the clutch pedal, starts it up, shifts it into first gear, and drives it off as Max stands on the rear RT platform and barks over the tram’s P/A System.

Grinch: HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!  NO ONE CAN CATCH THE GRINCH!!!!!!!

The Grinch drives the tram off the tram route, crashes through a wooden fence, over a grass lawn, and out onto to the road leading to the Resort Strip.
Herbie sees the whole thing happen and chases after him.

Herbie: BEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

Grinch: NOW MAX, THIS IS HOW YOU RUIN CHRISTMAS!!!!!!  TAKE AWAY ALL THE CHANCES FOR PRESENTS AND THE BIG FEAST!!!!!  THEN TAKE DOWN ALL THE DECORATION!!!!!!
BUT FIRST, LETS DO SOME DONUTS!!!!!!

The Grinch performs some donuts with the tram while out on the main road, but he goes way too far, and jackknifes the couplings between cars 6 and 7.
Herbie races to get help as quickly as he can as Johnny 5 gets word of what’s going on.
Soon Herbie meets up with Johnny 5.

Herbie: BEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEP!!!!!

Johnny 5: HERBIE, HAVE YOU HEARD WHAT’S GOING ON?????!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!  BEEEEEP, BEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Johnny 5: WHAT, YOU SAY YOU’VE SEEN IT TOO, AND YOU KNOW WHO THE CULPRIT IS?????!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEP!!!!!!  BEEEEEEP, BEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

Johnny 5: YOU SAY IT’S THE GRINCH?????!!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEP, BEEEP!!!!

Johnny 5:WOW!!!!  THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!!!!

Herbie opens up his glove box, throws out his item storage gun, changes the setting to size adjustment, rolls over it, and shrinks Johnny 5 down to a person size.

Johnny 5: OKAY HERBIE; TAKE ME TO HIM!!!!!

Johnny 5 jumps into Herbie’s driver seat before Herbie throws his transmission into 3rd gear, stomps his throttle pedal all the way to the floor, and takes off with his tires screaming while popping a steep angled wheelie.
Meanwhile the Grinch continues to drive recklessly as Tram M307 thunders down the streets of downtown.  The last 6 cars swing ALL OVER the place and bash into the sides of multiple cars parked along the streets causing alarms to go off left and right.
The last 2 cars swing over the curb knock Goofy off of his ladder, cause him to fall off and swing on a strand of Christmas Lights.

Goofy: OH WOAH, WOAH, WOAH, WOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!  GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HOOO HOOOO HOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Grinch: WHOOOOOPS!!!!!!  SORRY!!!!!!!!!  NOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

Over in Town Square Mickey Mouse is busy signing autographs for kids when…………

Grinch: MOVE MICKEY, HERE COMES THE GRINCH!!!!!!!!

The Grinch drifts the tram around a tight bend causing the last car to plow into a HUGE bank of snow, and have all that snow go hurtling towards Mickey.

Mickey: WHAT THE????!!!!!!  WOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Poor Mickey is knocked over and buried under a bank of snow.

Mickey: HEY, GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEP, BEEEEEP!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnUjvVuudxY

Herbie finally catches up to the Grinch and the runaway Tram, and this time he does not leave its side.

Johnny 5: WE’RE ON HIS TAIL AND HE IS NOT GETTING AWAY THIS TIME!!!!!!

Herbie tries to move up along side the tram, but he can’t get by the last 2 cars that are swinging from side to side.

Johnny 5: DARN THESE LAST CARS!!!!!!  HE SURE HAS BROKEN THAT THING PRETTY BADLY!!!!!

Judging his moment, Herbie finds an opening, drives up over the curb just to the right of the tram, and gets in front of the last cars just in time.

Johnny 5: GOOD WORK HERBIE, NOW LET’S GET HIM!!!!!!

Mr. Grinch then sees Herbie in his rear view mirror.

Grinch: UH-OH!!!!  LOOKS LIKE WE’VE GOT A TROUBLEMAKER MAX!!!!!

The Grinch moves his Tram over to the right, and knocks Herbie onto the curb.
Herbie tilts himself to the right, and drives on his 2 right wheels just barely missing getting smashed into the wall.

Johnny 5: HE WANTS TO PLAY ROUGH DOES HE!!!!  WELL WE’LL SHOW HIM HERBIE!!!!!

Herbie takes a turn down a small alley way and drives right in front of the Tram’s path.

Grinch: DAMN!!!!!  THAT CAR IS REALLY STARTING TO GET ON MY NERVES MAX!!!!!!

Herbie squirts oil out of his engine, and that splash of oil lands on the tram’s windshield.

Grinch: OKAY!!!!!!!  NOBODY DIRTIES MY WINDSHIELD AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!!!!!!  NOW IT’S PERSONAL!!!!!!!

The Grinch activates his windshield wipers, gets the oil wiped off, and bumps Herbie on his rear bumper before he’s sent crashing into a HUGE bank of snow.

Grinch: TAKE THAT LITTLE RUNT!!!!!!

Johnny 5: COME ON HERBIE, HE’S GETTING AWAY!!!!

Herbie tries moving forward, but he’s still stuck in the snow bank.  Using all of his might, Herbie throws his transmission into reverse, and with a mighty roar of his engine, backs himself out of the snow bank, and once again drives after the runaway tram.

Johnny 5: THERE HE IS AGAIN!!!!!  LET’S PULL A STUNT ON HIM THAT HE’LL NEVER FORGET!!!!!

Herbie drives up to the last car on the tram, and manages to push against the last car and follow its uncontrollable swinging.
And while Herbie’s pushing on the last car of the tram, the Grinch notices his speedometer picking up speed.

Grinch: HUH?????!!!!!  THIS CAN’T BE RIGHT!!!!!  THIS THING ISN’T SUPPOSED TO GO OVER 30 MILES AN HOUR, CAN IT?????!!!!!!  MAX????!!!!!!

Max: WOOF, WOOF!!!!!!  WOOF, WOOF!!!!!!  WOOF, WOOF!!!!!

Grinch: GOOD GOD, IT’S THAT ROTTEN LITTLE CAR AGAIN!!!!!!  THIS TIME HE’S PUSHING ME!!!!!!  

Then Herbie lets go of the tram and sends it hurtling towards a HUGE snow bank.

Grinch: HUH, UH-OH!!!!!!!!  WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Homer Simpson soon walks into the path of the oncoming tram, and has no idea until it's almost too late.

Homer Simpson: *Screams* OH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Homer Simpson runs out of the way just in the nick of time as the Tram goes hurtling off the road and crashes into the MASSIVE snow bank with a VERY LOUD…………….................

BANG…………………..CRASH…………………KABOOM……………………..KABLEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The impact is so powerful that it sends Donald Duck hurtling into a snow bank too.

Donald Duck: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTT!!!!!!!

Snow blows EVERYWHERE and the tram is as good as stuck as is Donald Duck who is buried from the waist upwards deep in snow kicking and screaming.  At the same time Road Runner manages to get away, but Wile E. Coyote runs right into the side of the wrecked tram.

Road Runner: BEEP, BEEP!!!!

Wile E. Coyote: -_-  I'LL GET YOU ROAD RUNNER!!!!!

Donald Duck: HEY, GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!

The Grinch kicks open the cabin door, climbs out of the tractor and makes a run for it.  

Grinch: MAX!!!!!  LET’S GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!

But it’s too Late, while the Tram crashed into the snow bank, Herbie called over his friends, and they all start chasing after the Grinch blaring their horns as he makes a run for it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF_W6Zi8ePs

VW Beetle Army: BEEEEP, BEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEP!!!!!  BEEEEP, BEEEP, BEEEEEEP!!!!!! BEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!  BEEP, BEEEP, BEEEEP, BEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grinch: MAX!!!!!!  THERE WAS NEVER MENTION ABOUT THERE BEING MORE THAN ONE OF THOSE ANNOYING LITTLE CARS!!!!!!
NO, YOU STAY BACK!!!!!!  LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!

Herbie and his friends chase Mr. Grinch ALL OVER the big City of Grand Bay Lake.  HERE, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Grinch: MAX!!!!!!!!!!!  DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!  

But it’s no use!!!!   A group of Schoolgirls find Max and begin playing with him on a sidewalk.

Grinch: MAX, YOU TRAITOR!!!!!!!  

Cam soon teleports his way into Main Street Town Square.  The meeting with the board of directors had gone well, and Cam was now ready to oversee the final finishing touches on all the Christmas Decorations, but has a pretty good laugh when he sees Herbie and his friends chase after the Grinch.

Cam: Alright Herbie that’s enough now!!!!!

Minnie Mouse: If you think he’ll stop now, fat chance!!!!!

Mickey Mouse: I wouldn’t!!!!!  NOT AFTER HOW HE GOT ME AND DONALD STUCK IN A SNOW BANK!!!!  AND KNOCKED GOOFY OFF A LADDER!!!!!

Mayor: Not to mention he caused this much in property damage at the Grand Floridian when he stole the tram…………..

Finn: And here are the lists of stores, restaurants, and hotel casinos he raided and looted!!!!!

Cam: WHAT???!!!!!!!  HE STOLE FROM TRAIN WORLD????????!!!!!!!

Helmsley: Plus he was gonna steal all of our Christmas lights and decorations!!!!!

Dorion: Not to mention he unplugged the lights, music, and fountains at It’s A Small World Holiday Façade Mall.

Haji: All of our hard work would have been for nothing had it not been for Herbie!!!!!

Rami: Princess Wendy’s birthday would have been ruined had Herbie not have intervened!!!!!!

Jim West: Just say the word and I will arrest that tyrant!!!!

Artemus Gordon: We have a holding cell ready for him!!!!

Toby: Thankfully the damage was not significant enough to stop us from finishing on time.

Grinch: STOP, PLEASE!!!!!!  SPARE MERCY!!!!!!!  I’M SORRY FOR CALLING YOU A RUNT OKAY?????!!!!!!!  PLEASE JUST LET ME GO!!!!!!!!!

Cam: I’d say we all better just talk to him.  Christmas is not Christmas without the Grinch after all!!!!  LOL!!!!

Grinch: JUST PLEASE STOP!!!!!!

Cam: Herbie, if you don’t stop you won’t be in the parades tonight…………..

Mayor: Uh-OH!!!!  That didn’t work!!!!!!

Minnie Mouse: Maybe you have to go a little more personal there!!!!! LOL!!!!  I know there's a certain someone you're doing this all for today, which is why you made today the deadline!!!! *Giggles*  

Cam: *Blushes Dark Red*  Desperate times call for desperate moments!!!!!

Cam takes a gulp and then a deep breath before giving Herbie a personal and embarrassing warning.

HERBIE IF YOU DON’T STOP YOU WON’T BE……………………………

After hearing the warning, Herbie listens and comes to a grinding halt along with ALL of his friends.

Minnie Mouse: AWWWWWWWW HOW SWEET!!!!!

Mickey Mouse: I never would have thought that!!!!  You really do care about her, don't know???!!!!!

Mayor: WOAH, But I never thought it was something like that!!!!!

Bugs Bunny: You sure gave me a surprise Doc!!!!

Cam: Just please DO NOT TELL TROY, Princess Erika, or anyone else about what I said or it would be VERY BAD!!!!!

The Grinch keeps running until Cam stops him dead in his tracks.

Cam: You, stop right there!!!!!

Grinch: Okay!!!!  You got me your royal highness!!!!  I did it!!!!  I am the Grinch Who Tried To Steal Christmas!!!!!  And I’m sorry……………….

Jim West: Alright, shall I arrest him????!!!!!

Grinch: Yeah, isn’t he gonna hand cuff me???!!!!  Blind me with pepper spray????!!!!!  Put me in the chokehold????!!!!!

Cam: No!!!!!  You said you were sorry!!!!  But that doesn’t make it okay.
I can’t have you arrested because as the Grinch, it would look bad on my part because even though you’re a famous villain, too many people from my world love you!!!!!  And I can’t throw someone that a lot of people love in jail????!!!!!
So as the Magic Kingdom’s Royal King, I sentence you to community service instead!!!!
You will return EVERYTHING you looted back to the stores, restaurants, and casinos you raided them from.
You will help repair the damage done at the Grand Floridian, and you will help Goofy finish putting up the rest of the Christmas Lights and decorations.

Grinch: Yes Sir!!!!

Cam: I need you to help out Santa with meet and greets by It’s A Small World Holiday Mall tonight, and most importantly I want you to help wish my best friend Princess Wendy Marvell, a happy 13th birthday tonight!!!!

Grinch: Of course Sir!!!!

Cam: Also your sleigh is still parked outside the It’s A Small World Holiday Façade Mall right????!!!!!  If that is the case, I need you to join in on both the Christmas Fantasy Parade and Main Street Electrical Parade tonight!!!!!  Do you think you can do that???!!!!!!

Grinch: Yes of course your highness!!!!!

Cam: If you do all of the following that I just mentioned, then you will be free to go.  Do I make myself clear?

Grinch: Yes Your Highness!!!!!

Cam: Awesome!!!!!  Now let’s stop standing around and get back to work!!!!!
Jim West and Artemus Gordon, would you go with Mr. Grinch and make sure he returns EVERYTHING????!!!!

Artemus Gordon & Jim West: Yes; we’re on it!!!!!

Cam: Mickey & Minnie, make sure that he helps Goofy with putting up the rest of the Christmas lights and decorations.

Mickey & Minnie: Of course!!!!

Cam: Johnny 5 you and your fellow robots make sure everything goes back on track!!!!

Johnny 5: YES SIR!!!!!

Cam: Santa???!!!!

Santa Claus: HOOOOOO, HOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOO!!!!!  How can I help???!!!!!

Cam: Make sure that the Grinch helps you out with the Meet & Greets!!!

Santa Claus: HOOOOOO, HOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!  I will make sure of it!!!!!
 
Donald Duck: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHTTTT!!!!!  WAHT, WAHT, WAHT, WAHT, WAHT, WAHT, WAHT, WAAAAAAHHHHHTTT!!!!!  SOMEONE PLEASE, GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!

Cam: Can some one please get Donald Duck out of the snow?????!!!!!

Mayor: Sir, it’s almost 3:00 O-Clock!!!!  You better get a move on!!!!

Cam: HOLY SHIT, YOU’RE RIGHT!!!!!  HERBIE???!!!!

Herbie: BEEEP, BEEEEP!!!!

Cam: Lets go back to the Roundhouse!!!!  We need to help out and get Number #5 ready for Wendy’s Birthday and the start of the Holiday Celebration.

Herbie: BEEP, BEEEP!!!!

Cam gets in Herbie’s driver seat, and Herbie takes off with his tires screaming as he pops a steep angled wheelie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrRB8lcBlqc

Cam: Also Herbie, promise me that you and Johnny 5 won’t tell anyone about what I said…………….

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP!!!!

Cam: Thank you Herbie!!!!  Now lets go!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!

With his tires screaming even louder, Herbie pops another wheelie as he charges down the road.
He then goes drifting around bends, and performs hand brake turns are super tight corners.

Cam: Normally we don’t mess around when it comes to ice and snow, but I will admit, drifting in the snow can be fun!!!!!

Herbie drives through a shopping mall before making his way down a backstretch, and onto the road leading the railroad’s round house.

Cam: There’s the Roundhouse just up ahead!!!  Nice Going Herbie!!!!  We’re making good time!!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEP, BEEEEEP!!!!!

Back in the real world Troy wraps things up at the office and Erika finishes her figure skating routine at the Ice Rink when she gives Troy a call.

Troy: Hey Erika, what’s up???!!!!

Erika: Hey Troy, I just finished my skating routine, so you can come pick me up!!!!  The sooner we go to Grand Bay Lake, the better.

Troy: I’ve just wrapped things up here, so I’m on my way.

As we rewind a couple of hours back, around the time of 1:00 p.m. up in Tocoma the girls all check out of the hotel as a beautiful Lincoln Navigator Stretch Limo pulls in to take the girls down to Eatonville.

Poe: Alright your royal highnesses, your transportation awaits!!!

Carla: WOAH!!!!!  I WAS EXPECTING NOTHING LIKE THIS!!!!

Wendy: WOW!!!!  IS THIS FOR US????!!!!!!

Ramsley: HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY!!!!!

Chelia: Ready to go home Wendy???!!!!

Wendy: This moment couldn’t have come soon enough.

Ayumi: Well then lets go!!!!

Nina: We don’t want to delay celebrating your birthday!!!!

Manaka: It’s not Everyday you turn the BIG 13!!!!

Wendy: RIGHT!!!! ☺


To Be Continued……………..

Chapter 19

The Holiday Celebration Kicks Off with a Special Birthday

After a bunch of hard work and sweat, a fire is lit in Ward Kimball Number #5’s firebox.  Over the next several hours, her boiler pressure climbs, and reaches 75 PSI by the time Cam and Herbie show up.

Cam: Thanks Herbie!!!!  You can go back and help Johnny 5 with finishing up everything.

Herbie: BEEEP, BEEEEP!!!!!

Cam: Alrighty, is engine 5 and her consist ready to go????!!!!!

Juan: Almost!!!!  We’ve got her all back together, we've got the new coat of paint nice and dry, we’ve got all the Christmas decorations on her, we’ve got a fire in her firebox, and we’re now just waiting for pressure to build.

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!

Juan: We’ve just reached 80 PSI, so it’ll be just a matter of minutes until she’s at the full 150.

Cam: Awesome!!!!

Bruno: However, she needs one cycle around the city before she can be signed off.

Juan: YIKES!!!!!  I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!!!!!

Cam: SHIT, WE’RE REALLY GONNA BE CUTTING IT DOWN TO THE WIRE!!!!!

Danny: It’s already 3:15, so hopefully we can get you out on the line by 4:00!!!!

Cam: Is everything oiled up and ready to go?

Bruno: Yes!!!  Your water’s full, your oil’s full, the hydrostat is full, the new Westinghouse Air Compressor was steam tested before installation, and works like it’s supposed to.

Danny: The Cab signals and Mapo System have been bench tested and should be good to go.

Cam: Great!!!!

Juan: The ENTIRE front car is being roped off for Princess Wendy, Princess Chelia, Princess Erika, and the rest of their friends.  This way pests like Kalvin, Whistle Boy, and the Wizard stay out and don't ruin Wendy's birthday!!!!

Cam: And I see pressure is up at 100, I better go take a shower in the locker room, and get ready.

As Cam rushes into the roundhouse locker room to shower and put on a change of clothes, Troy picks up Erika from her figure skating competition along with her friends from cheerleading and ballet.

Erika: Thanks Troy!!!!  Now we have no time to lose!!!!  GIRLS GET IN!!!!

Sarah: NO PROBLEM!!!!

Brooke: YEAH, LET’S GET GOING!!!!!

Lexi: RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!!

Erika: Okay Troy, the rest of the girls moms will follow us, and I’m gonna need you to drive as fast as Cam and Herbie.

Troy: I normally hate driving fast, but I understand that tonight is important, so I’ll do what I can.

Over in Eatonville, Wendy and the rest of the girls are dropped off when Princess Erika’s new Private yacht arrives to pick them up.

Wendy: WOW!!!!!!  IS THIS OURS TOO????!!!!!!

Ramsley: YEP!!!!  Princess Erika’s new Private Yacht!!!!

Manaka: I didn’t think it would arrive this quickly!!!!!

Poe: And it’s our transportation home!!!!

Carla: Come on Girls, we don’t have anytime to waste!!!!

As the girls board the yacht in Eatonville’s Harbor, back at the Grand Bay Lake Railroad’s Roundhouse, Number #5’s low pressure safety valve pops off with a VERY LOUD………….

POP……….HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Jason: AWESOME!!!!!  SHE’S AT 150 PSI!!!!!

Juan: OPEN UP THE MAIN VALVE ON THE STEAM TURRET!!!

Jason opens up the main valve on the steam turret activating the air compressor as it fires off with a VERY LOUD………….

BANG………………..BANG……………….BANG…………..BANG………………BANG…………BANG……..BANG………………BANG……..BANG….BANG….BANG…BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG……….BANG……….BANG…………BANG!!!!!!!

As a bunch of vaporized water and steam comes jetting out of the beautifully polished copper capped smoke stack.

Juan: PERFECT!!!!!  AIR COMPRESSOR IS FIRING OFF LIKE IT SHOULD!!!!

Cam walks out of the locker room all showered, nicely dressed in a new pair of Banana Republic Boot Cut Jeans, a new Long Sleeve Tommy Bahamas Button Up Shirt, new Ecco Fusion Boot Shoes, and a beautiful new winter Pendleton wool jacket.  His hair is also nicely fixed up in rows of spikes, and a brand new beautiful chrome watch with a picture of Grand Canyon Railway Number #29 wraps around his wrist.

Jim and Rob walk in to take over for Danny and Bruno when they notice Cam.

Jim: HEY, LOOKING SHARP THERE YOUNG MAN!!!!

Rob: I TAKE IT YOU’RE OUT TO IMPRESS THE GIRLS!!!!!

Cam: Hey, I gotta look nice for Wendy’s Birthday!!!!  Her favorite engine already has me beat!!!! LOL!!!!

Bruno: Eric Heffernan will be in shortly to take over for you when need be.

Cam: I won’t be out on the railroad line for very long.  I’ll most likely only be on her for a couple laps.  

Danny: Sounds good!!!!  Let’s hope her royal highnesses birthday goes well!!!

Cam: Alright Jason, time to fill out the opening checklist.

Cam climbs into the cab and gives a blast on the whistle, while Jason tugs the bell chord and gives a ring on the bell.

Cam: Alright, both the whistle and bell work, we can proceed out onto the turntable.

Cam gives 2 blasts on the whistle, throws the Johnson Bar forwards, gently bumps the throttle open, and slowly eases Number #5 onto the turntable.

Juan: ALRIGHT, THE RED LIGHTS ON THE SIDES OF THE TURNTABLE ARE FLASHING!!!!

Cam: PERFECT!!!!

Cam shuts the throttle and throws the Johnson Bar/Reverser in reverse, stopping Number #5 smack dead center on the turntable before Juan presses an arrow button on his remote to rotate the turntable and gets Number #5 lined up with her assigned train.

Juan: ALRIGHT!!!!!  YOU’RE LINED UP!!!!!

After spinning a good 90 degrees on the turn table, the tracks on the turntable are lined up with the correct tracks leading to the assigned Holiday IV Train consist inside the car shop, and Cam gently backs Number #5 off of the turntable and onto her assigned train consist as she couples with a good solid……………

CLUNK!!!!!

Jim: I GOT IT!!!!

Jim connects the air hoses and safety chains from the first car on the train to Number #5.

Cam: Alright, throttle works, Johnson Bar/Reverser works…………

Jason: Firing valve works, atomizer and blower valve work, water site glasses are reading well, so time to activate the headlamp, and cab lamps.

Cam fires up the locomotive’s steam turbine generator, and activates both the headlamp and cab lights.

Cam: Alright, the turbine generator works, so does the headlamp, and all the interior cab lights.

Jim: Alright, take her out to the switch!!!!

Cam: Sure thing!!!!!

Cam gives 2 blasts on the whistle, gently bumps the throttle open, and Number #5 tows her beautifully decorated train out of the car shop and up to the switch where her red interior cab signal light activates.

Cam: Alright the cab signal block lights work so far, but I won’t box em yet……….

Jason: First lets test the Mapo for both the high pressure safety valve, and for the low water alarm system.

Cam: Sounds good.  Open your firing valve more, open up your steam injector, and let’s build up some pressure.

Sure enough Number #5’s boiler pressure slowly builds up to 163 and the low pressure safety valve pops off.

Cam: Alright!!!!

Jason: Low Pressure Safety Valve pops off at 163!!!!!

Pressure continues to build until the locomotive’s Mapo system kicks in, triggers the emergency fuel shut off, puts out the fire, and shuts off the engine.

Cam: Alright!!!!!  Mapo for the Emergency High Pressure Safety Valve Alarm Triggered at 180 PSI!!!!!  That's 2 PSI below what the high pressure safety valve is calibrated to go off at!!!!

Jason: Alright, shutting off the steam injectors, and let the pressure drop!!!!

After the pressure drops below 160 PSI, the Mapo system resets allowing Jason to relight the fire in the firebox.

Cam: Now the Mapo for the low water alarm!!!!!

Jason: ALRIGHT, BLOW DOWN!!!!!!!!

Jason cleans out his water sight glass before filling it back up, and opening up the blow down valve.
A bunch of vaporized water comes jetting out of a nozzle located just on the left hand side of the locomotive just between the front and rear drive wheels.
Sure enough, the blow down clears A LOT of water out of the boiler, and causes the water level in the site glasses to drop.

Jason: ALRIGHT WE’RE ALMOST THERE!!!!

Once the water level drops below the first bolt on the water site glass, the Mapo System for the Low Water Alarm triggers the emergency fuel shut off, puts out the fire, and shuts off the engine.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!  The Mapo activated RIGHT when we went below the first bolt of water in the glass.

Jason: Now time to call Rob and Jim over, and have them approve!!!!

Sure enough, Jim and Rob walk over and peer in the firebox for damage.  Sure enough they find nothing wrong and sign the opening check list.

Rob: Alright!!!!  Once your water level is back to normal, and you’ve got plenty of steam pressure, wait for the block zone to clear and you’re good to go!!!!

Cam: Awesome!!!!

Jim: Fill the boiler up with water and we’ll reset the Mapo for the low water alarm.

Cam and Jason open up their ball lever lifting injector valves, and manage to refill their water levels in the boiler until the site glasses reach 2 bolts of water.

Jim: Alright, you’re good!!!!

Jim resets the Mapo System for the low water alarm, and Jason relights the fire in Number #5’s firebox.
Soon Number #5’s pressure gauge is back at 150 PSI, and Cam picks up Number #5’s radio microphone and makes the call.

Cam: Main Street Station Master 1, Edward, this is GBL 5.

Station Master Edward: GBL 5, this is Main Street Station Master 1, Edward!!!!  What’s you’re location?

Cam: We’re about to leave the railroad yard, and move onto the Main line.  We are requesting clearance to move onto the Main Line.

Station Master Edward: GBL 1 and Holiday II are just rounding the bend, and will be passing you shortly.  Once after they pass you, and are in the next block zone, you are clear to procede.

Cam: Thank you!!!!

Back in the real world, Troy, Erika, and the rest of her friends finally arrive home.
They waste no time in rushing down to the basement, activating the game consoles, and opening up the portal.

Troy: Alright Girls!!!!!  It’s time to WARP!!!!!

Erika: Right behind you Troy!!!!

Troy, Erika, and the rest of her friends jump in through the portal, and soon arrive in Grand Bay Lake just as Cam receives the clearance to move Number #5 out onto the main line.

Cam: ALRIGHT, we have a green light in our cab, and we have clearance to go!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TL2geAbJGY

Cam gives 2 blasts on the whistle as Jason tugs on the bell chord.  Cam then gently bumps open the throttle and Number #5 steams slowly and gently over the switch out of the railroad yard, and onto the main line.

Cam: Alright!!!!  Main Street Station Master 1, it is 16:05 p.m., and GBL 5 is now on the main line!!!!

Cam then bumps Number #5’s throttle open more and more, and notches the Johnson Bar/Reverser back more and more until Number #5 is nearly thundering down the track at the Grand Bay Lake Railroad’s Maximum speed limit of 32 miles an hour


Cam: Alright, now lets see if the Christmas lights on the train work.

Cam presses a button, and all the beautiful Christmas LED lights on the Holiday IV Green train and Lilly Belle Parlor Car activate.

Jason: AWESOME!!!!  Now we just need to complete a full cycle, and we’ll be good to go.

Troy and Princess Erika call Cam up on his Ipad, and Cam instantly responds to the call.

Princess Erika: Hey Cam!!!!

Cam: Hey Erika!!!!

Troy: Where are you at right now!!!!

Cam: Just got Number #5 back out onto the Main Line!!!!  I have to do a full circle around the whole city in order to finish filling out the opening check list for the train.

Princess Erika: How long do you think it can take?

Cam: It takes a full hour for a train to do a full loop, but since we’re not picking up passengers yet, we might be able to make up some time, and shave off some minutes.

Troy: Okay, let us know if you’re falling behind, and we’ll call up Poe and Ramsley, and ask them to stall.

Cam: Okay!!!!  Tell the mayor to do the final count down to light up the city and start the celebration once my train, which is Engine Number #5, blows her whistle on the final bend coming into Main Street Station.  Not on this lap, but on the next lap.

Troy: GOT IT!!!!

Meanwhile, Wendy, Carla, Chelia, and the rest of the girls are all enjoying themselves eating sweets while watching their favorite movie, Dreams Do Come True, A Cinderella Story.

Chelia: OH MY GOSH, THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE MOVIE!!!!!

Wendy: MINE TOO!!!!

Ayumi: THE PART WHERE HE PURPOSES TO HER!!!!!!

Carla: WOULDN’T THINK OF ANY OTHER PART OTHER THAN THE WEDDING AT THE END!!!!

Nina: THIS MOVIE IS SOOOOOO CUTE AND SO ROMANTIC!!!!!

Miuna: But at the same time it’s VERY sad……………..I mean both the guy and girl lost their parents when they were very young, both get badly abused after the loss of their parents, and they both almost lose the last things that really matter to them in life……………

Chelia: But all that changes for the better in the end!!!!!

Manaka: The chances of finding your true love right off the bat like that are very slim, but a girl can’t help but want that.

Sayu: Too many boys are jerks, but not this one.  

Chelia: OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, IT’S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!

Ayumi: HE’S ACTUALLY PURPOSING TO HER!!!!!!!

Sayu: AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE OUT IN THE OPEN TOO!!!!!!!

Nina: TALK ABOUT BRAVE!!!!!!

Carla: HE SURE RISKED A LOT FOR THAT MOMENT!!!!!!

Manaka: AWWWWWWWWWWWWW, SHE SAID YES!!!!!!!

Chelia: AND NOW THEY KISS!!!!!!

All girls: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Chelia sees Wendy crying like a baby.

Chelia: And as usual, Wendy ALWAYS turns into a cry baby at this part.

Wendy: NA-AH!!!!  STOP IT!!!!! I DO NOT!!!!!!  

Chelia: YOU DO TOO!!!!! *GIGGLES*

Wendy: IT’S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PART AND THEY’VE BOTH BEEN THROUGH A LOT!!!!!  

Chelia: True, but it’s still entertaining seeing you cry at this part. LOL!!!!

Wendy: HEY, HOW CAN I NOT CRY?????!!!!!  BESIDES YOU GET TEARY EYED TOO!!!!!

Chelia: Not gonna lie, I do get teary eyed at the wedding near the end.  However you turn into such a huge crybaby that it’s SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!

Wendy: MEANIE!!!!!!  I DO NOT!!!!!!!

Carla: And here we go again!!!! LOL!!!!!

Poe: We’re just 30 minutes away from the boating dock area!!!!

Carla: Wonderful!!!!

Unfortunately Number #5 and her train have just departed Paradise Bay Station, and still have a full 45 minutes left on their trip.

Cam: GOD DAMN IT!!!!!  IT’S 4:30 AND WE’RE NOT EVEN AT THE HALF WAY POINT YET!!!!!

Jason: I’VE GOT THE FIRING VALVE OPENED NEARLY AT MAX!!!!

Cam: WE’RE AT THE MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT OF 32 MILES AN HOUR!!!!  THAT’S ALMOST NUMBER #5’s TOP SPEED OF 35!!!!!

Jason: ANY FASTER AND THE OVER SPEED VIOLATION ALARM GOES OFF!!!!

Cam: OH FLYIN FUCKEN SHIT!!!!!  I DON’T EVEN HAVE THE KEY TO RESET IT!!!!!!

Jason: SHIT, WE NOW HAVE A YELLOW LIGHT!!!!!

Cam: WHICH MEANS WE HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 15 MILES AN HOUR!!!!!  JUST GREAT!!!!!

Cam then texts Troy and tells him that he’s 15 minutes behind schedule.

Troy: UH-OH!!!!

Princess Erika: What’s wrong Troy?

Troy: Cam’s 15 minutes behind schedule.
He’s going as fast as he can but because he’s stuck behind a train that’s doing pick-ups and drop offs, he has to slow down, and sometimes even stop when he comes across red lights.

Princess Erika: Tell the Mayor to push the count down to 5:15, and I’ll text Poe to stall.

Princess Erika then sends Poe a texts, and tells him that they must stall.

Poe: Carla, may I have a word with you for a moment?

Carla: Sure, what’s going on?

Poe: Princess Erika just texted me, and they’re running 15 minutes late, so they asked us to stall.

Carla: Oh Dear!!!!  Stall if you must, but just tell them to be careful and not to rush anything!!!  

Ramsley: Will do!!!!  I’ll go tell the skipper to cut the engine for 15 minutes and we’ll pretend that there are problems going on down below.

Poe, and Ramsley manage to buy some time, but poor Cam is having to stop Number #5 and her train at EVERY single station on the route whether he needs to or not.

Cam: DAMN THIS STUPID OPENING CHECK LIST!!!!!

Jason: At least we got to top off our water when in Paradise Bay Station!!!!

Cam: It is 4:47 and we are now JUST AT the half waypoint on the route!!!!  The train in front of us BETTER HURRY UP!!!!

At long last, Number #5’s cab signal turns green.

Cam: TOOK IT LONG ENOUGH!!!!

Ward Kimball Number #5 gets moving again and soon steams through a beautiful section of track with mirrors on both sides before she steams through the beautiful It’s A Small World Holiday Façade Mall as she thunders down the track at a good 25 miles an hour.

Princess Erika then gives Cam another Text.

Princess Erika: Where are you now?

Cam: Just passing the switch leading back to the round house.

Princess Erika: IT’s 5:00 O-Clock and we really can’t delay anymore!!!!  Try to get here as soon as you can, but be safe okay???!!!!

Troy: Okay Mr. Mayor, we will begin the count down at 5:14 p.m.!!!!

Mayor: Very well!!!!!

Poe: Alright!!!!  Time to quit stalling and get moving again!!!!

Boat Skipper Yes Sir!!!!!!

Manaka: Excuse me, but what was going on?

Boat Skipper: One of our propeller blades was jammed, so we had to stop and fix it.

Ramsley: The problem has been taken care of, so we’re on our way again!!!!

Manaka: Wonderful!!!!

The Yacht quickly gets back underway and instantly makes up for lost ground.
Ward Kimball Number #5 soon steams over the grade crossing over on Rodeo Drive.

Cam: It’s 5:05!!!!  We are REALLY biting right down to the WIRE!!!!

Jason: But look on the bright side………….at least everything else is good to go!!!!!

Cam: Delayed over a stupid opening safety check list!!!!!

Ward Kimball soon steams into Glasslamp Station, and comes to a stop at a red light as C.K. Holliday Number #1 loads up at Main Street.

Big Joe: Okay, what is causing the delay here!!!!

Wizard: WAIT FOR ME!!!!!

Robert: EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!  IT’S HIM AGAIN!!!!!

Troy: UGH!!!!!!  WE GOT RID OF KALVIN LAST NIGHT…………

Princess Erika: BUT EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW GROSS!!!!!!!  WE STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE WIZARD WHO WREAKS LIKE A GARBAGE CAN!!!!!!!!

Troy: THAT IS IT, I AM MAKING IT ILLEGAL TO COME ANYWHERE NEAR 100 MILES OF ONE OF GRAND BAY LAKE’S VARIOUS PREMIUM ATTRACTIONS SMELLING LIKE THAT!!!!!  I MEAN MY GOD!!!!!!!

Whistle Boy: WAIT FOR ME!!!!!!!

Robert: OH GOD, NOT HIM!!!!!!

Big Joe: THAT DOG GONE PECKERHEAD!!!!!!  WHY DO WE GET STUCK WITH THEM????!!!!

Robert: BECAUSE HOLIDAY 4 IS AT REDUCED CAPACITY GIVEN THAT THEY CLOSED OFF THE FIRST CAR TO V.I.P.S ONLY!!!!!!

Big Joe: I FORGOT, IT’S HER ROYAL HIGHNESS, PRINCESS WENDY’S 13TH BIRTHDAY TODAY AND NUMBER #5 IS HER FAVORITE!!!!!

Robert: AND JUST WHEN CAM DEALS WITH KALVIN LAST NIGHT, WE’VE STILL GOT OTHER BAD APPLES TO DEAL WITH!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Conductor Tony: ALL ABAORD!!!!!!!!!

C.K. Holliday then steams out of Main Street Train Station giving Cam the all clear to proceed.

Cam: ALRIGHT, IT’S 5:12, SO NOT A MINUTE TO LOSE!!!!

Number #5 takes off out of Glasslamp Quarter Station like a bat out of hell as she thunders down the track at 15 miles an hour.
She then rushes into the diorama tunnel in thick clouds of smoke and steam just as the Yacht reaches the boating dock, and the count down for lighting the entire city begins.

Mayor: WELCOME EVERYBODY!!!!!  TONIGHT IS A BIG NIGHT FOR US AND WE’D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR JOINING US IN CELEBRATING THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE MAGIC KINGDOM’S VERY FIRST HOLIDAY CELEBRATION!!!!

Troy: YOU CAN SEE THAT IT’S ALL PITCHED BLACK RIGHT NOW, AND THAT’S BECAUSE WE’RE GONNA BE GETTING TO OUR FINAL COUNT DOWN IN LIGHTING UP OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!

Princess Erika: CAM, WHERE ARE YOU????!!!!  THE COUNT DOWN IS STARTING!!!!

Cam: IN THE DIORAMA TUNNEL GOING AS FAST AS I CAN!!!!!

The Yacht soon docks, with Poe and Ramsley as the first to disembark.

Poe: It sure is great to be home!!!!

Ramsley: 2 weeks is LONG ENOUGH!!!!

Carla: My word, it sure is dark!!!!

Manaka: Is there a power outage???!!!!!

Carla: I don’t know, but we’ll find out!!!! Wink

Carla only smiles because she knows what’s going on.

Mayor: We have our choir for the Candle Light Procession walking down Main Street, and they will help us in the count down………………

The choir walks down Main Street with candles burning away in their hands as they sing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cwV3gg9p5c

Candle Light Procession Choir:
In the silence of the night
When the snow lies soft and still
You can see a magic light
And hear the ring of Christmas bells

Though the night seems long and dark
It is the Earth has gone to sleep
The stars that dot the sky above
Hold you in their precious keep
So close your eyes and come with me
The Christmas bells will bring you home…………

Mayor: ALRIGHT, LET’S START OUR COUNT DOWN!!!!!!

At long last Ward Kimball Number #5 steams out of the diorama tunnel just in time for Cam to shut his throttle and allow Number #5 to coast alongside the Bayou Rose Restaurant in an attempt to keep the noise and vibration levels down as she cruises along side of the restaurant at 13 miles an hour.

Cam: FINALLY!!!!!  WE ARE OUT!!!!!

Princess Erika: FINALLY WE ARE COUNTING DOWN NOW!!!!!

Wendy and the rest of the girls disembark the yacht and hear the count down going on.

Wendy: I hear a count down going on……….

Chelia: I wonder what it is???!!!!

Mayor: ALRIGHT, TIME TO LIGHT THIS CITY IN 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1……………..

Ward Kimball Number #5 finally rounds the final bend Into Main Street as Cam gives one VERY LONG blast on the whistle followed by one short blast with a………….

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOO!!!!!!

Just as he activates the lights on Ward Kimball Number #5 and her train, and all the beautiful Christmas Lights ALL OVER Grand Bay Lake light up!!!!

Carla smiles brightly along with Poe, and Ramsley.
Wendy, Chelia, and all the rest of the girls stop dead in their tracks as their jaws hit the ground, for they are all blown away by all the beautiful Christmas lights and décor.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH!!!!

Chelia: THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

The Candle Light Procession Choir breaks into song just as Ward Kimball Number #5 steams into Main Street Station with her beautifully lit and decorated train in tow.

Candle Light Procession Choir:
Now with song we fill the night
While magic dances in the light
To wish you now and all the year
The joy that comes with Christmas cheer

Number #5 comes to a slow and gentle stop in Main Street Station before Cam scrambles out of the cab, hands the filled out opening safety checklist to Station Master Edward, and regroups with Troy, Princess Erika, and her friends just in time.

Cam: HERE I AM!!!!!

Princess Erika: TALK ABOUT CUTTING IT CLOSE!!!!!

Cam: STUPID OPENING SAFETY CHECK LIST!!!!!

Candle Light Procession Choir:
Hear our voices fill the air
To drive the winter's cold away
And so our hearts with all will share
The love that comes with Christmas Day
THE LOVE THAT COMES WITH CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!!
THE CHRISTMAS BELLS WILL BRING YOU HOME!!!!!!

Troy: WOW!!!!  TALK ABOUT CUTTING IT CLOSE CAM!!!!

Princess Erika: AT LEAST YOU MADE IT!!!!!  AND YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!!

Cam: Thanks, so do you!!!!

Princess Erika: Thank you!!!!  It’s the same dress I wore on Thanksgiving in Vegas.  Felt it would be appropriate for a special night like tonight!!!!!  *Giggles*

Wendy: HEY YOU GUYS, IT’S SO GOOD TO SEE YA!!!!!

Everyone in all of Town Square wishes Wendy a happy birthday.

Everyone: HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCESS WENDY MARVELL!!!!!!!

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!!!!!

Wendy is at a complete loss for words as tears begin pouring down her face.

Wendy: THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Chelia: Whose idea was this anyways???!!!!!

Mayor: It was his Royal Highness King Camaro Von Ludwig's, Your Royal Highness.

Cam: It was Troy’s, Princess Erika’s and my idea!!!!

Troy: We all worked together to make this happen!!!!!

Princess Erika: Though Cam was the one who oversaw the WHOLE THING from the beginning to the end.

Cam: The thing is, we all felt terrible that none of you had ever experienced the Holiday Season before in your lives because it’s a wonderful time of year where we come from.

Troy: It’s about love and spending time with those you love and care about the most, and treasuring every moment you have with them.

Princess Erika: You girls are like family to us, and we love you all very much!!!!

Cam: We wanted you to experience the same magic of the holiday season that we get to experience by bringing it here.

Troy: So we took all the ideas from Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Las Vegas, and a few other cities, used the layouts and attractions that they use, and brought em all here.

Princess Erika: Just as Christian Boltar did in A Happily Ever After Christmas, which I HIGHLY recommend you girls watch!!!!!!!

Cam: And we picked today as the start date to make your birthday all the more special Wendy.  You only turn the BIG 1 3 once in your life, so best to make it extra special.

Wendy runs up to Cam, and wraps her arms around him as she cries her eyes out at a complete loss for words.

Chelia: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!  WENDY?????!!!!!!

Carla: I had a feeling she’d react this way…………………..

Ayumi: Carla, you knew about this the WHOLE TIME????!!!!!

Carla: No, actually!!!!  I didn’t know what was going on, but apparently both Poe and Ramsley did.  However they were sworn under oath, and were not allowed to tell me.  I had to teleport here, and find out myself.
I kinda regret that now, especially after being so awful to Cam, but it helped put my mind at ease, and gave me some answers.
I now see that what you 3 did is truly remarkable, and I can’t thank you enough for being such wonderful friends to Wendy and the rest of the girls.

Cam: However, it didn’t ALL go according to plan!!!!! LOL!!!!

Chelia: OH???!!!!!  DO TELL!!!!!

Carla: It’s really quite funny actually!!!!!

Cam: It gets better because we had to deal with EVEN MORE OBSTACLES today!!!!!

Ayumi: HOW????!!!!!!

Cam: Well, it all starts right after we go out to fetch the Christmas Trees.  Apparently the Christmas Tree stands were all on back order, and weren’t able to show up until yesterday afternoon, so we had Christmas Trees laying ALL OVER the place!!!!
Then there’s the awful snow storm we had on Tuesday night, and the snow storm destroys most of our power cables, and blows up almost ALL of our fuse and circuit breaker boxes!!!!  Thankfully we all planned for an emergency of this caliber, and had a lot of emergency back ups on order arriving both Wednesday and Thursday.
Also poor Herbie and his friends get buried under blankets of snow!!!!  It takes Dorion, Haji, Helmsley, Artemus Gordon, Jim West, Rami, Toby, and Johnny 5 almost ALL morning to dig them out.
ALL the trains had to plow HUGE banks of snow off the railroad line, and even go as far north as Tocoma!!!!!
Also don’t get me started with the organist at Notre Dame De Royal going on vacation until New Years, and me having to fill in for him on Christmas Eve Mass!!!!!  UUUUUGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!  That is a whole other can of worms!!!!!
Then as soon after we finally start to regain some ground by getting the Christmas Trees up, and most of the electrical work fixed, I have to spill the beans to Carla.
But it doesn’t stop there!!!!!
Last night during the soft opening dress rehearsals of everything, I had to deal with annoying Kalvin.  But I’m glad I dealt with him last night than tonight because last thing we want is for him to ruin Wendy’s birthday.
But wait, there is more.  
This morning while Troy and I are at a meeting with the board of directors of the Von Ludwig Gaming Corporation, Poor Herbie and Johnny 5 have to deal with the Grinch wreaking havoc ALL OVER THE ENTIRE CITY!!!!!
He raids and loots almost every single store and restaurant, causes THOUSANDS of dollars in property damage, knocks Goofy off a ladder, and throws Donald Duck head first into a bank of snow.
And lastly Wendy’s favorite train, the Ward Kimball Number #5, has just come out from an overhaul, which included a brand new coat of paint, was not ready for service until 4:00 O-Clock this afternoon.  And by rules and regulation of the Magic Kingdom Railway Administration, no train is allowed to enter revenue service without having an opening safety check list filled out, signed, and turned into the Station Master.   Well, once Jason and I got her out on the line to do our cycle, we got stuck behind a slow moving train, which had to stop at EVERY SINGLE STATION!!!
That means we had to stop at EVERY SINGLE STATION TOO!!!!!  And for this reason we fell 17 minutes behind schedule.

Troy: This meant, we had to push back your arrival, as well as the count down to lighting up this city, by 15 minutes.

Princess Erika: Cam BARELY makes it!!!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

All the girls burst out laughing after hearing everything that could have gone, did go wrong.

ALL GIRLS: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*

Chelia: WOW!!!!!  SOUNDS LIKE YOU DIDN’T HAVE A BORING MOMENT!!!!!

Cam: Yep, so anything that could have gone wrong DID go wrong, but we had it all taken care of in time to give Wendy the special birthday she deserves!!!!!!

Manaka: I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAVE GUESSED ALL OF THAT HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE AWAY!!!!

Miuna: So I take it that the renovations for code violations were just a trick?

Cam: Yes, and I apologize for that!!!!  They were a trick to get you girls out of here, so we could get to work on decorating the whole city, and keep bringing the holiday season over here a surprise.

Sayu: I’m normally not one to back up a liar, but this…………………..this is the one time that makes it okay. ☺

Ayumi: I totally agree!!!!!  You really had us fooled, but I am so glad you did!!!!

Nina: What you 3 did was REALLY sweet, and so thoughtful!!!!!

Chelia: Yeah, none of us have ever seen anything like this before in our lives, so this is AMAZING!!!!!  

Carla: Again, I can’t thank you guys again for doing this!!!!  You have NO IDEA how much it means to all of us.  Especially Wendy!!!!!!  You have given her so much that none of us could have even dreamt of giving her in an entire lifetime.

Ayumi: And yet she still won’t let go of Cam!!!!!! *Giggles*

Chelia: Good thing Princess Mackenzie isn’t here to object!!!!!!

Princess Erika: I know I’m possessive of Cam, but because it’s Wendy’s birthday, I’m giving her a free pass, so she can do whatever she wants with him, given how special he is to her!!!!

Nina: Speaking of which, where is Princess Mackenzie????!!!!!

Troy: She unfortunately couldn’t come, and neither could Princess Chloe.
They both have finals coming up, and need to study.  Afterwards both of their families go on vacation out of town to Hawaii, so we won’t see them until the new year.

Chelia: Awwwwwwww, that’s too bad!!!!!  We’ll miss em very much!!!!!

Carla: But what matters most is that you 3 are here!!!!!

Wendy: You 3 kept your promise, and that’s all that matters to me!!!!

Cam: We wouldn’t have it any other way Wendy.

Troy: You girls mean a lot to us, so we all wanted Wendy to have the most special 13th birthday possible.

Princess Erika: Again we just felt so awful that you never had the chance to experience the magic of the amazing holiday season that we get to experience every year.

Chelia: But we have the chance to experience that now thanks to you!!!!!

Ayumi: And it means more to us than you could possibly imagine.

Wendy: All I ever wanted was a friend who understands me, but I got so much more……………………..you guys are the best friends a little girl like me could ever ask for, so THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!

And Wendy breaks down crying her eyes out again.

Chelia: AWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!  No need to be such a crybaby Wendy.

Wendy: I CAN’T HELP IT!!!!!!

Cam: The night is so young, and we have SO MUCH to do!!!!!

Then Wendy’s stomach starts growling, as does Chelia’s, Carla’s, and the rest of the girls.

Wendy: *Blushes Bright Pink*  I’m sorry, I guess I’m really hungry!!!!!

Chelia: Yeah, we haven’t eaten much!!!!

Cam: Neither have we, so no problem!!!!!

Troy: Booked us all at the Hard Rock Café!!!!!!

Cam: And we have Transportation waiting for us!!!!!!

Herbie opens his doors, while Cadence and Twilight pull up with a sleigh in tow.

Johnny 5: YOUR TRANSPORTATION AWAITS!!!!!!

Wendy: OH MY GOSH WOW!!!!!!  

Wendy runs up to Herbie and hugs him on the front right fender.

Wendy: IT’S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU HERBIE!!!!!!!

Herbie extends out his retractable antenna and gently strokes Wendy’s face.

Wendy: *Giggles* STOP, THAT TICKLES!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Wendy then notices Herbie’s beautiful Christmas lights, beautiful green ribbon on the front bonnet, Red smiley flowers on the sides of the 53 gumballs on the doors, Red and Silver Christmas Bell decals on the rear panels behind the doors and in front of his rear fenders, Christmas Wreathe and beautiful Red Ribbon on top of his rear engine cover, and colorful LED Hood mounted fog lamp.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, WOW!!!!!!  YOU LOOK SO CUTE ALL DECORATED!!!!!!!!

Wendy kisses Herbie on the bonnet, which causes him to blush.

Herbie: *BLUSHES BRIGHT RED* Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppp!!!!!!

Wendy: AWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!  YOU LITTLE CUTIE!!!!!! *Giggles*

Cam and Wendy, Chelia, Troy, and Princess Erika all get in Herbie as the rest of the girls get on board Twilight and Cadence’s sleigh.

Cam: Alright Herbie, lead the way!!!!

Herbie: BEEEP, BEEEP!!!!!

Herbie takes off as he revs up his engine with a……………..

VROOM, VROOM, ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR, VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

Twilight: HEY HERBIE WAIT FOR US!!!!!

Cadence: YEAH, SPARE MERCY ON 2 YOUNG ALICORNS!!!!

Manaka: They sure are a lively bunch!!!!

Carla: That they are, but you can’t help but love them!!! ☺

To Be Continued…………………

Chapter 20

         Wendy’s Magical 13TH Birthday Part 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfF10ow4YEo

Beautiful Grand Bay Lake, the Most Magical, and now the merriest city in ALL of the Magic Kingdom.
Everywhere you look, there are gorgeous Christmas decorations, Garlands, Ribbons, Christmas LED Lights, Christmas Trees with model train layouts circling the base of the trees, Jewish Menorahs, and Toy Soldiers.  There are also the colorful monorail trains beautifully decorated and lit with Christmas LEDs, beautifully decorated steam trains circling the city’s parameter, the beautifully lit Grand Bay Lake Tower, the beautifully decorated Grand Bay Lake Eye, Gorgeous Notre Dame De Royal, and beautiful Helicopters painted in Christmas décor flying over the city giving night time tours.
There’s also the newly opened California Screamin Roller Coaster on Paradise Bay along with a new Ice Skating rink near by.
To top it off there are new night time Spectaculars such as World Of Color Season Of Light, The Christmas Fantasy Parade, Believe In Holiday Magic Fireworks Spectacular, and the Good Old Main Street Electrical Parade with add Holiday Flare.
To make things better, all the movie theaters across the city are only playing big Christmas classics along with all the hotels in the holiday movie selection on their guest room TVs.
A Holiday celebration of this caliber, had never been done before until Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika came along, took the ideas from Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Las Vegas, Winter Fest, and few other cities, put it all together, and brought it all to Grand Bay Lake making it the merriest city in all of the Magic Kingdom.
And they chose Friday December 8th as start date to kick the holiday celebration off to make Princess Wendy Marvell’s 13th birthday all the more special.
So far their ideas, and hard work is paying off because Wendy is having the time of her life with her best and truest friends.

After an awesome dinner at the Hard Rock Café, Cam and Herbie give Wendy, Chelia, and Carla a tour of the beautiful city now fully decorated.
After Herbie crosses the railroad tracks, and makes his way onto the strip, Cam opens Herbie’s rag top canvas moon roof to give the girls a better view.

Cam: Alrighty Girls, here it is, the newly decorated Resort Strip.

Princess Erika: MUCH like the one at Las Vegas, but on a slightly smaller scale.

Carla: I could not get enough of this when Cam showed me this for the first last night.

Both Wendy and Chelia are completely blown.

Wendy & Chelia: OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, WOW!!!!!!

Wendy holds Cam’s hand and lays her head on his shoulder.

Wendy: You’re the greatest.

Cam: Hey it wasn’t all me.  Everyone played a part in this.  And had Herbie not thwarted the Grinch earlier today, all of this could have been for nothing.

But Wendy, and Chelia don’t listen.  They’re too much in love with everything to even regard what Cam was saying.
All Cam can do is smile as Wendy and Chelia enjoy the new experience of the holiday spirit for the first time.
Sadly, Twilight and Cadence struggle to keep up with Herbie as they pull their sleigh through the snow.

Twilight: Herbie, please slow down!!!!!

Cadence: Yeah, it’s not easy for 2 alicorns to pull a sleigh through the snow!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx9IXZG5DEw

Music:
A friend………..
It takes one to be one…..
It takes some time before the lights start shining on a friendship

A friend…………..
Step up if you need one………..
Stick out your hand……….
The 2 of you’ll understand it’s a friendship

Oh Buenos Dias, come on try……….
A pat on the back………..
A blink in the eye……….
That’s what friends are for and remember this, charro
They’ll stick with you, today and tomorrow………

AMIGO………………
It’s nice if you got one………
But it’s nicer if you’re not one to stop looking for MOOOOOORRRRRREEEEE……………
The world is full of people who need you, so much…………..
A million hearts there are to touch…………
And I’ll bet you a banana, manana……………
You’ll have a new friend………………

And I’ll bet you a banana, manana……..
YOU’LL HAVE A NEW FRIEND……………….

A friend……………..
It’s nice when you see one………
But it’s better when you be one……………


After giving a full tour of the beautifully decorated City of Grand Bay Lake, Herbie pulls up to the curb at the bottom of the staircase of Main Street Station.
He then opens his doors, and lets everyone out.
Twilight and Cadence pull up their sleigh right next to Herbie and let everyone out.

Twilight: MY GOSH!!!!  DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO KEEP UP WITH YOU HERBIE????!!!!

Cadence: YOU LEFT US BOTH IN THE DUST BACK THERE!!!!

Sarah: AWESOME RIDE TWILIGHT!!!!

Brooke: THANKS CADENCE!!!!

Twilight: Don’t mention it!!!!  

Cadence: Anytime Girls!!!!

Twilight: I just wish it would have been easier for us to keep up with Herbie, I mean that car can REALLY move!!!!

Cadence: NO KIDDING!!!!!

Cam then notices the yellow tape and orange delineators surrounding the wrecked tram in the snow bank that the Grinch had crashed earlier that day.

Cam: UNBELIEVABLE!!!!  THEY COULD HAVE AT LEAST CLEANED THIS UP!!!!!

Troy: Isn’t that the Tram that the Grinch crashed earlier????!!!!

Carla: It looked like he had a little too much fun with it!!!!

Princess Erika: I’LL SAY!!!!!

Brooke: I wonder how hard those things are to drive???!!!!

Miuna: I’d be WAY too scared to even think about it!!!!

Ayumi: And driving a car sounds scary enough!!!!

Mayor: Because of the investigation, we had to cancel our 7:00 O-Clock showing of The Christmas Fantasy Parade and 8:30 showing of the Main Street Electrical Parade.  Thankfully, they’ll have it cleared just in time for the 9:30 showing of The Christmas Fantasy Parade and the 11:00 O-Clock Showing of the Main Street Electrical Parade.

Cam: Thank God for that!!!!  That tram needs to go back to Joe Jackson’s Pumbaa Tuba Parking Lot where it belongs ASAP!!!

Big Joe over hears this from the Main Street Station Balcony and gets pissed off REAL fast!!!!

Big Joe: WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT???????!!!!!!!!!

Cam: UH-OH!!!!  SORRY JOE, I DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE UP THERE!!!!!

Big Joe: OH HELL NO YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!!!!!  THAT IS MAJOR MISBEHAVING THERE, YOUNG MAN!!!!!!

Cam: SORRY, IT WAS JUST A SLIP OF THE TONGUE!!!!!

Big Joe picks up his Tuba and chases after Cam.

Big Joe: I’LL GIVE YOU A SLIP OF THE TONGUE CAMARO!!!!!  YOU GET OVER HERE YOU FREAKIN OOGWAY!!!!!

Cam: UH-OH!!!!!

Big Joe: HERE COMES THE TUBA!!!!!!!!!!

Big Joe nearly slams the Tuba on top of Cam’s head when he asks EVERYONE in Town Square a question.

Big Joe: TO TUBA, OR NOT TO TUBA????!!.....................WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?  ALWAYS TUBA!!!!! Very Happy

Robert: HEY, WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE JOE, I’VE SEEN YOU PLAY THE TUBA WITH NO HANDS!!!!!!  NO WAIT IT WAS GAS!!!!!!!!  HAAAAA, HAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Big Joe: OH YOU SHUT IT ROBERT!!!!!  CAN’T YOU SEE THAT I’M TRYING TO TEACH THIS PECKHEAD HERE A LESSON????!!!!!!

Robert: YOU KNOW, YOUR MUSIC REALLY STINKS WORSE THAN YOUR GAS; I’VE HEARD BETTER SOUNDS COME OUT OF THE REST ROOM!!!!

Big Joe: SHUT UP YOU!!!!!!  THAT’S ENOUGH OUT OF YOU!!!!!

Cam: HAVEN’T YOU TOLD HIM ABOUT HOW YOU SUCKED ALL THE JELLY OUT OF THE DONUTS AND FILLED THEM UP WITH KETCHUP IN ORDER TO GET BACK AT ED HOOVER, BUT YOU ACCIDENTALLY GOT JOE INSTEAD????!!!!!

Robert: HEY, SHUT UP CAM!!!!

Big Joe: HEY WAIT, THAT WAS YOU??????!!!!!!

Robert: THAT WASN’T MEANT FOR YOU JOE; THAT WAS MEANT FOR ED HOOVER!!!!!

Big Joe: YOU GOT LUCKY THIS TIME CAMARO!!!!  I’VE NOW GOT THIS OTHER OOMFUFU HEAD TO DEAL WITH NOW!!!!!

Robert: NOOOOOO!!!!!  GET AWAY!!!!!!

Big Joe: OH IT’S ON ROBERT; IT’S ON!!!!

Big Joe then takes off running after Robert and chases him ALL OVER Main Street Town Square.

Big Joe: GET BACK HERE RODRIGUEZ!!!!!!

Robert: GET AWAY FROM ME MR. BIG BAD GAS!!!!!

Big Joe: OH, I’VE GOT YOUR BIG BAD GAS ROBERT!!!!!

Big Joe then chases Robert into a corner and slams Robert’s head inside the bell of the tuba with a BIG and LOUD……………

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robert: OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Joe: THIS WAS LONG OVERDUE HAD I’D KNOWN YOU HAD SUCKED THE JELLY OUT OF THE DONUTS AND FILLED THEM UP WITH KETCHUP!!!!!!

Robert: AGAIN THAT WAS FOR ED HOOVER!!!!!

Cam: And here comes the “Shut up you!”

Big Joe: SHUT UP YOU!!!!!!

Big Joe then leaves the corner, walks back up the staircase of Main Street Train Station, and makes his way back to the break room.

Big Joe: NOW I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT I JUST WASTED A PERFECTLY GOOD MUSICAL INSTRUMENT ON THAT OOGWAY!!!!!  UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!  AND MY GAS IS WONDERFUL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!

Robert then comes walking out of the corner with the bell of Joe’s tuba covering his entire head down to his neck.

Robert: JUST GREAT, NOW SOMEONE PLEASE GET THIS STUPID THING OFF OF ME!!!!!!!

Meanwhile Conductor Adam opens the door to his Toyota Pickup Truck, and instantly smells a nasty stench just before Will hops into the truck to carpool.

Adam: UUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!  WILL, DID YOU FART IN MY TRUCK??????!!!!!!!!

Will: *SNICKERS* MAYBE..........................

Adam: GET IN HERE AND SMELL THIS!!!!!

Adam slightly opens the passenger door to his truck, and shoves Will's head into the cabin causing Will to turn green in the face.

Will: WOAH-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  *TURNS GREEN AND THROWS UP*

Adam: THAT WAS BRAND NEW CAR SMELL IN THERE AND YOU RUINED IT!!!!!

Will: I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD STINK!!!!!

Adam: BUT THAT'S WHEN IT STINKS THE MOST WILL!!!!!!!

Cam: Remind me never to allow Will to Carpool with us Herbie.

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP!!!!

Everyone in ALL of Main Street Town Square bursts out laughing as they watch Robert make his way back to the break room while wearing Joe’s Tuba over his head, and Adam drive out of Main Street with Will throwing up in a barf bag while carpooling in the passenger seat of Adam's truck.

Cam: UUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!  Those guys ALWAYS put on a show whether I want them or not!!!!  It’s embarrassing enough as it is when they expose the railroad’s bathroom humor out in the open like that!!!!!!
But I will admit, that was a close call!!!!!  I’m only sorry that Robert ended up getting the short end of the stick.
Our friend Will on the other hand has MAJOR problems, and let's leave it at that!!!!

Wendy: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  I DON’T THINK I HAVE LAUGHED SO HARD IN MY LIFE!!!!!

Carla: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  NEITHER HAVE I!!!!!!!  THAT WAS REALLY GOOD!!!!!

Chelia: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  THOSE GUYS ARE ALWAYS HILARIOUS!!!!!!

Cam: Add John Goss to the mix and the act just gets bigger!!!!!

John Goss: WHAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAA, HOOOOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!

Then the sound of a monorail horn is heard coming out of the break room’s bathroom.

Big Joe: GOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark: WAY TO GO REMMY!!!!!!!

Remmy: BUT THAT WASN'T ME!!!!!!!!

Robert: ON SECOND THOUGHT, I AM SOOOOOOOO GLAD I’M WEARING THE TUBA NOW!!!!!!

John Goss: OF COURSE YOU HAD TO HAVE YOUR HEAD STUCK IN JOE'S BUTTOCK'S!!!!!!!

Cam: I just jinxed it because now the “Butt Bassoon” Strikes again!!!!

Big Joe: WHY WOULD YOU EAT MUSH THAT WOULD MUSH UP YOUR ROOM????!!!!!!  THERE IS NOTHING DELICIOUS ABOUT EATING A FUNGUS!!!!!

Cam: JOHN, LAY OFF THE MUSHROOMS!!!!!!

John Goss: NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  I THOUGHT I WAS BAD, BUT THOSE GUYS REALLY TAKE IT TO A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL!!!!!!!

Manaka: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  MY GOD, THOSE GUYS ARE JUST TOO MUCH!!!!!

Soon the sound a familiar steam whistle and bell are heard as Ward Kimball Number #5 comes steaming around the final bend into Main Street.

Cam: Well, it’s 6:25, and World Of Color Season Of Light’s first showing is at 7:00, so let’s get a move on right!!!!

Wendy: Right!!!! ☺

Wendy grabs ahold of Cam’s hand and they make their way up to the station platform as Ward Kimball Number #5 steams in while everyone else follows behind.
After coming to a full and complete stop, Eric Heffernan climbs out of the cab.

Eric Heffernan: Alrighty Cam, I’m going to break, so she’s all yours!!!!!!  

Cam: Thanks Eric!!!!!  Wendy, come follow me!!!!

Wendy: OKAY!!!!

Cam and Wendy make their way up to Ward Kimball Number #5’s cab.

Cam: How’s she been firing so far Jason?

Jason: So far she’s been firing like a champ, so no complaints!!!!

Cam: Awesome!!!!

Wendy:  WOW, I JUST I REALLY LOVE THIS TRAIN!!!!  IT LOOKS SO CUTE ALL DECORATED!!!!!

Cam: Just came out from an overhaul, and has new coat of paint.  Heck, you're wearing the matching outfit from Fairy Tail's Edolas Arch!!!!!

Wendy: I KNOW RIGHT????!!!!!!  I JUST LOVE HOW THE COLORS MATCH MY MINI SKIRT, AND THIGH HIGH SOCKS, NOT TO MENTION MY JACKET, HAIR, AND ASCOT!!!!  

Cam: There’s also a surprise on the left hand side of the locomotive I’d like to show you once we get to Paradise Bay Station.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!

As Troy, Princess Erika, Carla, and the rest of Wendy’s friends climb aboard the front car of the train.  Wendy tries to go back to join everyone else in the front car when Cam unveils another surprise.

Wendy: Well, I best go back with everyone else now.

Cam: Actually, climb aboard!!!!!

Wendy: Wait, what????!!!!!!

Cam: We normally don’t allow cab riders on this particular locomotive, but tonight’s an exception since it’s your 13th birthday, so come on up!!!!!

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Wendy gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek before she climbs into Number #5’s cab, and sits on the small sand box located just in front of the large fuel bunker.  
All of her friends sitting in the front car of the train cannot believe what they are seeing.

Chelia: MY GOSH!!!!!!!

Troy: THAT IS THE FIRST TIME I’VE EVER SEEN HIM TAKE ANYONE UP INTO THE CAB OF THIS LOCOMOTIVE!!!!!

Ayumi: TALK ABOUT V.I.P. TREATMENT!!!!!!

Troy: NOT COUNTING CARLA OR PRINCESS ERIKA, I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I’VE EVER SEEN HIM INVITE A GIRL UP INTO THE CAB AND ON HIS FAVORITE ENGINE!!!!!

Carla: Normally I’d object, but it’s her birthday, and she can do whatever she wants!!!!!

Princess Erika: You’ve really lightened up on her A LOT!!!!!

Carla: Well she’s matured a lot thanks to you guys.  Though it’s mainly thanks to him that she’s come so far.

After the last of the passengers climb aboard, the conductors give the high sign.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MzumcY3lpk

Conductor Justin: ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!

Conductor Ruben: GBL 5, YOU HAVE A HIGH BALL!!!!!

Cam: COPY, HIGH BALL GBL 5!!!!!!

Wendy: WOW, THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!

Jason: DESPITE HER SMALL SIZE, THIS ENGINE’S A ROCKET AND A POWERHOUSE!!!!!!!

Cam: YEP, AND A HUGE THRILL TO OPERATE!!!!!

Jason opens up his ball lever lifting injector valve, closes the blower valve half a turn, opens the atomizer a quarter turn, opens up the firing valve, and tugs on the bell chord with a……………….

CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG…………….

As Cam gives 2 blasts on the whistle, opens the cylinder drain cocks, eases the throttle open, and Number #5 slowly gets moving.
Jason then pours his small can of sand into the firebox before opening up the blow down valve.

Jason: BLOW DOWN!!!!!!!

Cam: BLOW DOWN!!!!!!!!

As vaporized water comes jetting out the left hand side of the locomotive, and cinders come pouring out of the smoke stack, Cam gives 1 VERY LOUD blast on the whistle followed by 2 short blasts on the whistle with a…………………….

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOO, WHOOOOOO!!!!!

As Ward Kimball Number #5 steams out of Main Street Station in clouds of smoke and steam.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!  THIS IS WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

Wendy really starts beaming as Number #5 charges down the railroad line at a WHOPPING 20 miles an hour while also enjoying the beautiful sights and sounds of beautiful Grand Bay Lake.

Wendy: WOW!!!!!  THIS IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!  LOOK AT ALL THOSE LIGHTS!!!!!!!

Jason: THEY SURE ARE AMAZING!!!!!!

As Number #5 steams over a beautifully lit Bridge, Cam places his hand on the whistle chord, but before he gives a tug……………..

Cam: Hey Wendy, would you like to blow the whistle with me?? Wink

Wendy: WOULD I?????!!!!!!  I’D LOVE TOO!!!!!

Wendy places her hand on the whistle chord next to Cam’s and they give a mighty blast of the 4 whistle grade crossing with a……………………

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOO-OOOOOO, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Wendy: WOW!!!!!  I’VE WANTED TO DO THAT SINCE I WAS LITTLE!!!!!!

Jason: HEY, HOW ABOUT RING THE BELL WITH ME?????!!!!!!!

Wendy: OF COURSE!!!!!!

Wendy places her hand next to Jason’s and the 2 ring the bell as Number #5 continues thundering along the bridge.
EVERYONE in the first car behind the locomotive is starting to get jealous.

Troy: HE HAS NEVER LET ME DO ANY OF THAT!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: BECAUSE YOU NEVER LIKE GOING UP THERE!!!!!!  HOWEVER HE HASN’T LET ME DO IT EITHER!!!!!!!!  SHE’S SOOOOOOOOOOO LUCKY THAT IT’S HER BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Troy: IF PRINCESS MACKENZIE WERE HERE, HE’D BE IN MAJOR HOT WATER RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Chelia: I NEVER GOT TO DO ANY OF THIS FOR MY 13TH BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Ayumi: ME NEITHER!!!!!!

Nina: DITTO!!!!!

Carla: NEITHER HAVE I!!!!!

Manaka: SHE IS SOOOOOOOOO LUCKY!!!!!

Miuna: NOT TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT BUT LOOK OUT IN THE WATER????!!!!!!

Manaka: IS THAT OUR HOME?????!!!!!

Sayu: THAT’S CAST AWAY SAPPHIRE BAY KINGDOM ALRIGHT!!!!!!!

Miuna: WOW, IT LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL ALL DECORATED!!!!!

Princess Erika: WE TOOK CARE OF THAT TOO!!!!!

As Ward Kimball Number #5 Steams into a tunnel, Cam and Wendy give on VERY LONG blast on the whistle followed by one short blast with a…………………….

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Before Wendy and Jason ring the bell as Number #5 steams into a beautifully lit tunnel.  Wendy is completely blown away by all the beautiful colors as are the rest of her friends.

Wendy: WOW!!!!!!!  THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!  I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF ALL THE COLORS!!!!!!!

Carla: WOAH!!!!!!!!  I DID NOT SEE THESE AMAZING COLORS DURING MY TRIP BACK TO TOCOMA!!!!!!

Chelia: THESE COLORS ARE SO GORGEOUS!!!!!!

Nina: HOW YOU GUYS DID ALL THIS REALLY AMAZES ME!!!!!

Troy: Princess Erika and I question ourselves on how Cam or any of the rest of us were able to pull this all off.

Princess Erika: We managed somehow!!!!! LOL!!!!!

As Ward Kimball rounds the final bend into Paradise Bay Station, Cam and Wendy give one VERY LONG Blast on the whistle followed by one short blast with a…………..

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOO!!!!!!!

Wendy: I REALLY LOVE DOING THAT!!!!!!!!!

Cam: IT’S THE BEST PART ABOUT RUNNING TH E LOCOMOTIVE!!!!!!

Jason and Wendy tug on Number #5’s bell chord as Ward Kimball Number #5 steams into Paradise Bay Station, and soon slows down to a gentle stop as Cam throws the Johnson Bar/Reverser into Reverse before giving one final blast on the whistle.

Cam: ALRIGHTY, HERE WE ARE, AND WE MADE IT WITH 20 MINUTES TO SPARE!!!!

Wendy: YAY!!!!!

Jason: EASE UP ON THE JOHNSON BAR STOPS MAN!!!!!  YOU’RE MAKING THE REST OF THE ENGINE CREWS LOOK BAD!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Jonathan Bromudez then walks up to Number #5 and sets to work on servicing her.

Jonathan Bromudez: Alright Cam, I’ll take over on running the locomotive, while you and Wendy enjoy World Of Color!!!!

Cam: THANKS JONATHAN!!!!!  Alrighty, are you ready Wendy?

Wendy: OF COURSE!!!!

Cam holds Wendy’s hand and helps her climb out of the cab.

Wendy: So Cam, what was the surprise you wanted to show me?

Cam: It’s right over here!!!!!

Cam takes Wendy around the front of the locomotive, and shows her the beautiful silhouette of her on the left hand side of the headlamp.

Wendy: WOW!!!!!!!!

Soon everyone else comes up to have a look.

Chelia: OH MY GOSH, IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Carla: WOW!!!!!  WENDY, THAT’S YOU CHILD!!!!!!!!

Ayumi: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, HOW SWEET!!!!!

Cam: During the massive repaint of the locomotive, it was decided to leave the silhouette of Jiminy Cricket alone on the right hand side, but we completely repainted the left hand side, and painted a silhouette of Wendy.  
We understand how much you love this particular engine, and as one of the royal princesses, we wanted to honor you by putting your stamp on your favorite locomotive given that I on the other hand also put my stamp on it by signing my autograph on the side of the cab before it got repainted.  

Wendy: OH MY GOSH CAM………….

A few tears pour down Wendy’s face as she admires the beautiful silhouette of her on the headlamp…………..

Wendy: IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL………….THANK YOU SO MUCH CAM, THIS REALLY MEANS MORE TO ME THAN YOU’LL EVER UNDERSTAND!!!!!!

Wendy gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek and clasps his hand in hers even tighter.

Wendy: I HOPE OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS!!!!!

Cam: I feel the exact same way.

Princess Erika: Just great, she will NEVER leave him alone!!!!!

Chelia: Not as long as her feelings for him stay as strong as they are now!!!!!!

Carla: Again, I’m normally against it, but have no choice but comply because it’s her birthday!!!!!!

Nina: Wendy is having THE MOST AMAZING BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!!

Sayu: That is a BIG understatement!!!!!

Miuna: Lets go to the viewing area and give them some space.

Sarah: Sounds like a good idea, they should get a room!!!!!

Brooke: DEFINITELY a good thing Mackenize is not here!!!!

Lexi: Isn’t his relationship with Mackenzie near the breaking point anyway????!!!!!!

Haley: NOT SO LOUD LEXI OR THEY’LL HEAR YOU!!!!

Troy: Best not to go there since that is HIGHLY classified information we should not talk about.

As everyone makes their way to the V.I.P. viewing area for World Of Color, Wendy gives Cam another gentle kiss on the cheek as Jason rings Number #5’s bell, and Jonathan Bromudez gives 2 blasts on the whistle with a………………………….

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG, CLANG-CLANG…………………………………

As Ward Kimball Number #5 steams out of Paradise Bay Station in a bunch of clouds of smoke and steam with vaporized water jetting out of her left hand side, cinders pouring out of stack, and clouds of smoke and steam come hissing out of the cylinder drain cocks.

Jonathan Bromudez: SEE YOU BACK ON THE NEXT LAP!!!!!

Cam: SOUNDS GOOD!!!!!

Jonathan Bromudez gives one final blast on the whistle with a…………….

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOO!!!!!!!!

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Wendy: Let’s regroup with the others, okay? ☺

Cam: I wouldn’t have it any other way!!!!

Cam and Wendy meet up with the rest of their friends by the waters edge.

Wendy: WOW!!!!!!  I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!

Cam: Well this, is the new winter and holiday version that’s played in my world during this time of year.
It’s nowhere NEAR as long as the usual show, is more plain and simple, but I actually enjoy it more.

Wendy: THAT’S AWESOME!!!!!  I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!

The Lights soon go dim, and the beautiful dancing LED fountains shoot high into the air, lasers start shining everywhere, and the beautiful Christmas music begins playing over the P/A system.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08nychqWszo&t=952s

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!!!!!

Chelia: WOW!!!!!!!

Cam: This is just the start!!!!!

After the spectacular introduction, everyone sees all the Disney Characters decorate their homes for the holiday season.
Cam blushes the moment he sees the mistletoe, but thankfully Wendy has no idea of the meaning, and only lays her head on his shoulder, which Cam is more than okay with.
Soon the projections move on to all the Disney Characters playing in the snow, skating on frozen lakes, and goofy making an attempt at skiing.

Wendy: *Giggles*  I thought I was clumsy!!!!

Cam: Fortunately Goofy has us both beat!!!! LOL!!!!

Troy: He can only ski by accident!!!! LOL!!!!

Princess Erika: But when he tries to ski on purpose then it’s a disaster!!!! LOL!!!

Goofy: WOAH, WOAH!!!!!!!  OOOOOH, WOAH, WOAH, WOAH, WOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!

CRASH!!!!!!!

Cam: And there he crashes!!!!! LOL!!!!!

All the girls love the Disney Princesses trying to get away from the Princes when James Taylor’s Baby It’s Cold Outside begins playing over the P/A System.

Wendy: AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!  THAT IS SO CUTE!!!!!

Chelia: I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF THE PRINCESSES!!!!!!!

Carla: TYPICAL GIRLS!!!!! LOL!!!!

Wendy gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek at the same time Anna kisses Christophe from Frozen causing Cam to blush.

Cam: *BLUSHES DARK RED* WAHT!!!!  I wasn’t expecting that!!!!!

Wendy: *Giggles* LOL!!!!! ☺

Then everyone watches Lady as a puppy being given to Darling by Jim Dear for Christmas.

All Girls: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: I SOOOOOOOOO WANT A PUPPY!!!!!

Chelia: ME TOO!!!!!

Ayumi: BUT CARLA WON’T LET US!!!!!

Carla: BECAUSE THEY EAT CATS!!!!!!!

Everyone gets teary eyed when they all the Disney characters with their mothers on the projections, and for the first time ever, Wendy sees Cam shed tears the moment he sees Dumbo reunite with his mom.
This only makes Wendy smile brighter and fall for him more.

Wendy: (WOW, he really does have a soft side after all).

She then reaches up and wipes his tears.

Wendy: Never thought you’d be a crier. *Giggles*

This causes Cam’s eyes to wander out of embarrassment.

Cam: Hey, this scene always gets me, so give me a break!!!!

Troy: It gets me too because Dumbo’s such a sad movie until the very end!!!!

Wendy: AWWWWWWWW!!!!!  You really weren’t lying after all!!!!!  *Giggles*

Troy: Now here comes the second most ridiculous part of the show!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: Yep, Christmas in Hawaii, which really doesn’t make any sense!!!!

Princess Erika: Seriously, spending the Holidays in a tropical climate NEVER feels right!!!!

Carla: It looks rather nice!!!!!

Manaka: Yeah, it looks like would be a nice break from all this cold weather!!!!

Princess Erika: That’s how I felt at first, but I grew up celebrating the holidays in the big cities like Cam and Troy have.

Soon Miguel from Coco shows up playing Hector’s Guitar on the projections as Jose Feliciano’s Feliz Navidad begins playing on the P/A System.
But soon EVERYBODY is laughing at poor Donald Duck getting trampled by his other fellow Caballeros.

Donald Duck: WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

Cam: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING* POOR DONALD DUCK CAN’T SEEM TO CATCH A BREAK!!!!! LOL!!!!

Wendy: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  OH MY GOSH, I’VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE BUT HE LOOKS SOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!!!

Donald Duck: UH-OH!!!!!  WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHTTTTTT?????!!!!!!!!!!

Chelia: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING* POOR GUY’S EITHER GETTING TRAMPLED ON OR BLOWN AWAY BY A FOUNTAIN!!!!!!

Donald Duck: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Troy: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  AND APPARENTLY HE LANDED HIMSELF HEAD FIRST INTO A SNOW BANK AFTER THE GRINCH CRASHED THE TRAM!!!!!

Carla: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  I WISH WE COULD HAVE SEEN THAT!!!!!

Princess Erika: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  THIS TYPE OF THING ALWAYS HAPPENS TO HIM!!!!

Soon the beautiful LED fountains shoot high into the air and form the shape of a Christmas Tree.
Then……………

Troy: OH ERIKA????????!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!

Princess Erika: SHUT UP TROY!!!!!!!!

Carla: What is that all about?

Cam: Troy always teases Erika about the Nutcracker, which she ALWAYS takes part of EVERY Christmas Eve given that she is a ballerina.

Princess Erika: AND IT DRIVES ME CRAZY EVERY TIME THEY TEASE ME!!!!!  HOWEVER TROY IS ALWAYS WAY WORSE AT IT!!!!  UHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!! -_-

Nevertheless, everyone still enjoys watching the scene with the dancing hippos and crocodiles from Fantasia with the remix of the Nutcracker playing on the P/A System.
But then comes Cam and Troy’s favorite part.

Goofy: NOW, PLUG HER IN AND LET THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS SHINE!!!!!

Cam: NOW THIS PART IS AWESOME!!!!!

Max plugs in the Christmas lights and all the beautiful LED colors, fountains, and lasers, start dancing as an awesome rock n roll variant of a piece from the Nutcracker plays over the P/A System.
All the girls’ jaws hit the ground the moment they see all the choreographed fountains, lasers, and beautiful LED lights dancing all over the place.
It gets even better when the dancing LED fountains shoot high into the air, and the fire fountains join in.
It isn’t long until the ENTIRE viewing area turns into an uproar round of applause as the fire fountains start blasting everywhere and shoot high into the air.

Cam & Troy: AHHHH-HAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wendy: OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!  OH, WOW!!!!!!!!

Chelia: THAT IS JUST SOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!

Carla: MY WORD, HOW DO THEY DO THAT???????!!!!!!!!

Ayumi: BEST WATER SHOW  EVER!!!!!!!!!

Sarah: ERIKA, WE NEED TO DO THIS MORE OFTEN!!!!!

Lexi: YEAH, THIS IS JUST SO AMAZING!!!!!!

Brooke: I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THIS!!!!!!!

Annie: SERIOUSLY, THIS IS JUST, WOW!!!!!!

Princess Erika: I KNOW, RIGHT?????!!!!!!

And then Goofy electrocutes himself to death.  LOL!!!!

Goofy: OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
WELL THAT’LL PUT THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS IN YA!!!! OH-YUCKA-HOOOO, HOOOOO, HOOOOO, HOOOOOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

The uproar round of applause in the viewing area only gets louder and louder.

Wendy: WOW!!!!!!  THAT WAS JUST SO AWESOME!!!!!

Chelia: I KNOW!!!!!  I DON’T THINK EVEN THE REGULAR SHOW GOES THAT FAR!!!!!!

Carla: WOW!!!!!  THAT WAS BEYOND IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!

Wendy: WHAT NEXT??????!!!!!!!!!!

Then the Prince and Princess dance scene from the usual show pops up, and causes Wendy to beam.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un3CoGKz_iE

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, YOU KEPT MY FAVORITE PART!!!!!

Cam: It was either this or……….

Troy: A VERY LAME Part of Sadnesses' Blue Christmas from Inside Out, which nearly bores Cam, Princess Erika, and I half to death.

Cam: So we figured, best use this scene instead because we know how much you love it………….

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, I AM SO GLAD YOU KEPT IT!!!!!!

Music:
Whatever you imagine
Can one day come to be……………..
There are dreams to awaken
Roads to be taken
Follow them, and they will set you free…………

Cam: Wendy, may I please have this dance?

Wendy immediately beams and happily nods as tears pour down her cheeks.

Wendy: That sounds delightful!!!!!

Cam gently places his hands on Wendy’s waist sides, and Wendy gently places her hands on top of Cam’s shoulders and the 2 begin to dance just as they did the first time they saw the original show.

Music:
Whatever you imagine
Is where your heart can go
There are worlds filled with treasure
Time without measure
TO LEARN WHATEVER YOU MAY NEED TO KNOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW………….

IMAGINE (Imagine)
And you and I can fly pas the sun……….

Beautiful magic moments from the holiday season show up on the water projects such as moments from Frozen, Mickey’s Twice Upon A Christmas, The Santa Claus Trilogy, Mickey’s Christmas Carol, Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas, Stuck In Toyland, Beauty & The Beast The Enchanted Christmas, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, The Polar Express, and many more.

Music:
And leave all our doubts and fears behind us

Wendy gently leans her head on Cam’s chest, and Cam holds Wendy closer to him.

Wendy: I don’t want this night to end……………..

Cam: Neither do I…………….

Troy: I know it’s wrong to think this, but I really think that those 2 were made for each other.

Princess Erika: I’m beginning to agree.  Even though he’s taken, and she’s many years younger than him, I can’t help but be happy seeing them together.

Chelia: They are just SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!

Carla: Again I don’t like the age difference, but Cam really has grown on me. ☺

Music:
You see that's just what can happen
If you look look inside your mind
There's no limit to the wonders you can find
Whatever you imagine
Can make your life brand new

There are miracles waiting
So keep concentrating
And I promise you, that if you do
Whatever you imagine, can come true
(Whatever you imagine……………….)

Whatever you imagine (whatever you imagine)
Can make your life brand new
There are miracles waiting
So keep concentrating
And I promise you, that if you do

At the very end of the dance scene Cam gently lifts Wendy up high into the air by her waist sides, and Wendy gives Cam a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Music:
Whatever you imagine will come true………………

All Girls: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

Carla: (GOTTA LET IT PASS BECAUSE IT’S HER BIRTHDAY!!!!!!)

After Cam gently lowers Wendy back down, he gives her a gentle kiss on her hand, before Wendy wraps her arms around him in a VERY big hug.

Wendy: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT CAM!!!!!!

Wendy then gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek as tears continue pouring down her face.

Wendy: You have no idea how much this all means to me……………

The show’s finale slowly begins as Peace On Earth plays over the P/A system, and projections of Disney couples show up on the water.

Chelia: I will say, I think I like this show better than the usual one.

Troy: Cam, Princess Erika, and I completely agree!!!!

Princess Erika: We were just saying that last night during the soft opening!!!!

Manaka: This is so beautiful!!!!

All the beautiful fountains, LEDs, and lasers shoot high into the air, as Peace On Earth Ends, only for a second finale to show up.

Cam: We added this at the VERY LAST SECOND!!!!

Troy: We figured the show needed to end with more of a BANG!!!!

Sure enough, Starship’s Rerecorded version of We Built This City begins playing over the P/A system, as images of Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Las Vegas, New York, San Francisco, and Winter Fest show up on the projections before construction of Grand Bay Lake’s Holiday Celebration is brought to life.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwdmhQuJnW8&list=RDpwdmhQuJnW8&start_radio=1

Princess Erika: We got this idea from Entertainment Lake At The Wynn in Las Vegas!!!!!

The projections show everyone all over town coming together and setting to work on decorating the city.
It also shows the trains fetching the Christmas Trees, Herbie and his friends, along with the big trucks unloading all the Christmas Trees, the snow storm destroying the breaker boxes, and EVERYONE laughs when they see Cam rolling his eyes whenever something doesn’t work out.

Cam: OH GEEZE!!!!!  Whose bright idea was it to add that in????!!!!!

It then shows Herbie and his friends, along with the Alicorn ponies, the Papillon A-Star Helicopter, tall crane and powerful tractor struggle with all their might in putting up the Christmas Trees.
Then it shows Carla scolding Cam and slapping him in the face, which literally embarrasses the heck out of her.

Carla: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK*  WHY DID IT HAVE TO SHOW THAT????!!!!!!  THAT IS JUST SOOOOOOO EMBARASSING!!!!!!!

The projections show the trains plowing snow off the track, Herbie and his friends being dug out of the snow, workmen replacing all the breaker boxes, Herbie and Johnny 5 chasing after the Grinch and the runaway tram before all of Herbie’s friends join in on the fun.

Troy: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  NOW I WISH I WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!

The finale wraps up with the whole city being lit up during the soft opening, images of the beautifully decorated Resort Strip, the test running of the new roller coaster, California Screamin, the beautiful monorails gliding through the city all decorated, C.K. Holliday Number #1 and her beautifully decorated train consist the Holiday II Red Freight Train steaming into a beautifully lit Main Street USA with the Christmas Fantasy Parade making its way down Main Street, and the Believe In Holiday Magic Fireworks Spectacular’s finale firing high into the air.
And as the projections of the fireworks finale show up on the projections, ALL the fountains shoot high into the air including the fire fountains, until EVERYTHING shoots up over 1000 feet as Grand Bay Lake’s National Anthem, We Built This City gently fades out over the P/A System, and a finale video shot shows Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika all high fiving each other at the Monorail Station in Las Vegas on the water projections.

Cam: Knew it was missing that LOUD BANG at the end during last night’s soft opening!!!!!

The whole viewing area bursts out into an uproar round of applause, for Grand Bay Lake’s World Of Color Season Of Light had just become a HUGE HIT!!!!!!

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!

Chelia: JUST AS GOOD, IF NOT BETTER THAN THE REGULAR SHOW!!!!!!

Wendy: I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!

Cam: AND WE’RE ONLY GETTING STARTED!!!!!  THERE IS STILL LOTS MORE TO SEE!!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Erika then high five each other just like they did in the projection on the water, for the start of the Holiday Season was becoming a huge hit in Grand Bay Lake!!!

To Be Continued..............

Chapter 21


Wendy’s Magical 13TH Birthday Part 2

After an AMAZING showing of World Of Color Season Of Light, our friends are now back aboard Ward Kimball Number #5 and her Holiday IV Green train.
Wendy is still blown away by how amazing her 13th birthday has been so far, and she still finds it hard to believe that it’s far from over.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING BIRTHDAY I’VE HAD IN MY LIFE CAM!!!!!  THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!

Cam: Hey, the night is still young, and there’s still A LOT more to see!!!!!

Wendy: I STILL FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rSHe9SCWBk

Soon the Holiday IV Green Train is full, and the conductors give Cam the high sign.

Conductor Justin: ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!

Conductor Ruben: GBL 5, YOU HAVE A HIGH BALL!!!!!

Cam: COPY, HIGH BALL GBL 5!!!!!!!!

With 2 blasts on the whistle, and a ring of the bell, Ward Kimball Number #5 steams out of Paradise Bay Station and is soon thundering down the track at a STAGGERING speed of 29 miles an hour, and still climbing.
Wendy LOVES riding in the cab with Cam and Jason, and enjoys watching them operate the locomotive.

Cam: Alright, open her up a little more Jason!!!!!

Jason: Opening her up!!!!!

Cam: CLEAR CROSSING!!!!!

Jason: CLEAR CROSSING!!!!!!

Most of all, Wendy enjoys the chance to blow the whistle with Cam and ring the bell with Jason every time Number #5 would steam over a grade crossing, over a train bridge, through a tunnel, and both in and out of a station.

Cam: Oh, even though you’re already wearing a jacket……………

Cam takes the jacket off of his back and gently places it on Wendy.

Wendy: AWWWWWW, THANK YOU SO MUCH CAM!!!!!  BUT…………..WON’T YOU FRREZE?????!!!!!!

Cam: Not up here I won’t!!!! LOL!!!!  It’s over 45 degrees warmer in this cab than it is outside.  Plus you need it more than I do.

Wendy leans over and gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Wendy: Thank you so much Cam, for everything!!!!

Cam: Alright, we are coming up to the corridor of mirrors!!!!

Cam gently bumps Number #5’s throttle shut and slows the train down to 10 miles an hour as Jason and Wendy ring the bell before she makes her way through the beautifully decorated mirror corridor.

Cam: This is the newly added mirror corridor.

Jason: It’s a little extra bright and colorful given all the Christmas LEDs, and the mirrors give the illusion that they’re more Christmas lights and decorations than they’re really are.

Cam: However you get to see AWESOME reflections of the train!!!

Wendy: IT’S SO AWESOME!!!!!  
I’m actually getting kinda hot, but thank you so much for letting me borrow your jacket Cam!!!!

Cam: Anytime Wendy!!!!

Ward Kimball Number #5 soon steams into the It’s A Small World Holiday Façade Mall area as Cam gently slows her down to a stop before throwing her Johnson Bar/Reverser in reverse, and giving one blast on her whistle.

Cam: And here we are!!!!!

Jason: This normally isn’t a stop for the train most of the time of the year, but it is for you guys during the holiday season.

Cam: Perfect timing because here comes Eric Heffernan!!!!

Eric Heffernan: HELLO!!!!!!  I’ll take over from here Cam!!!!

Cam: Thank you so very much!!!!

Cam puts his jacket back on before he climbs back out of the cab, and then helps Wendy climb down.

Wendy: Again, thank you so much Cam!!!!

Eric Heffernan: So Cam, what time do you think you’ll be back?

Cam: Well, Pyro is at 10:00, and is 15 minutes long, so I’d say we’ll be back aboard as soon as Pyro’s over.

Eric Heffernan: Okay, we’ll try to be over here by 10:15, so we can pick you guys up!!!!

Cam: Awesome, sounds good!!!!

Eric Heffernan: Also do you plan on returning to the cab for the rest of the night?

Cam: It depends on whether Wendy would like to keep riding in the cab.

Wendy: Actually, I’d like to ride with my friends if that’s okay?

Cam: Of course, it’s your birthday, so you call the shots!!!!

Wendy: Okay!!!! ☺

Cam: It sounds like Wendy would rather ride on the train for the remainder of the trip, and will most likely want all of her friends with her, myself included, so Number #5 is all yours for the rest of the night!!!!

Eric Heffernan: ALRIGHT, SOUNDS GOOD TO ME CAM!!!!

Cam: Before we go, would you like your picture next to your new silhouette?

Wendy: ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!  I’D LOVE THAT!!!!!!

Wasting no time, Wendy runs over to the left hand side of the locomotive and stands right by her beautiful new silhouette on the headlamp before Cam takes a few shots of her.
However Wendy has a few other plans of her own.

Wendy: Excuse me Eric Heffernan?

Eric Heffernan: Yes your highness?

Wendy: Would you mind taking some pictures of just me and Cam, and then the rest of my friends up here.

Eric Heffernan: Why of course!!!!!

Wendy then sits on top of Number #5’s left hand side running board, and holds Cam’s hand as Eric Heffernan fires away multiple pictures of the 2.  He even shoots one of Wendy giving Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek, which Cam fortunately dosen't really notice.

Eric Heffernan: Alright, let’s add everyone else!!!!

The rest of Wendy’s friends, along with Troy, and Princess Erika all join in the picture.

Eric Heffernan: Alright!!!!!  I sure hope the pictures turned out good!!!!

Cam: Thank you very much Eric!!!!

Wendy: We really appreciate it!!!!!

Eric Heffernan: Anytime Wendy, and once again, Happy Birthday your highness!!!!

Wendy: Thank you so much!!!!!

Cam helps Wendy off of Number #5’s running board, and everyone makes their way down to the parade viewing area where bakers are handing out hot cookies and hot chocolate.
Wendy and Chelia also notice a bunch of children lining up to meet up with Santa Claus and the Grinch.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH LOOK!!!!!

Chelia: AWWWWWWWWW, HOW CUTE!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: All the kids are lining up to meet up with Santa Claus so they can tell him what they want for Christmas.

Ayumi: HOW WONDERFUL!!!!!

Princess Erika: If they’re on his nice list, then Santa will give them what they asked for by putting their gifts in their stocks they hang by the fire place while they're asleep as well as giant presents under their tree, but if they end up on his naughty list……………

Troy: He has the Grinch take away all their Christmas Decorations, and put coal in their stalkings!!!!!

Cam: Hence why everyone in our world is warned before Christmas, always be good, and don’t end up on the Naughty List.  LOL!!!!

Baker: Sorry to interrupt, but would any of you be interested in cookies and hot coco???!!!!

Chelia: OH YES PLEASE!!!!!

Wendy: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Carla: OF COURSE!!!!!

Cam: I’ll just take a couple cookies please!!!!

Troy: Same here!!!!

As Cam eats his cookies he accidentally gets chocolate near his lips.

Wendy: Oh Cam, you’ve got something on your face!!!!  Let me get it!!!!

Wendy gently licks the chocolate off of Cam’s face causing him to blush.

Wendy: There, I got it!!!!!  

Cam: *Blushes Dark Red* WAHTT!!!!  A little heads up warning would have been nice!!!!!!

Wendy: *GIGGLES* LOL!!!!! Sorry, I couldn't help it!!!!

Meanwhile Troy gropes Princess Erika yet again causing her to chase after him.

Princess Erika: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK* TROY, GET BACK HERE YOU PERVERT!!!!!!!!!

Chelia: What did he do????!!!!!

Cam: He most likely groped Erika on the butt or the chest, which happens A LOT!!!!!

Princess Erika: IT WAS ON THE CHEST THIS TIME!!!!!!

Troy: HEY, THEY’RE GROWING OUT VERY NICELY AND ARE BECOMING NICE AND FIRM!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Princess Erika: SHUT UP YOU AND GET BACK HERE!!!!!

Wendy: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT????!!!!!!  NO WAY!!!!! (PRINCESS ERIKA’S A YEAR YOUNGER THAN ME AND IS BOTH ALREADY TALLER THAN ME AND ALREADY GROWING HER BOOBS OUT?????!!!!!!  AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW MAAAAAAAAAANNN!!!!!!!!!!)  Crying or Very sad  Crying or Very sad

Princess Erika accidentally bumps into the back of Wendy causing her to trip, and knock Cam on his back in the snow before landing on top of him.

Wendy: *Screams*  AHHHHHH!!!!!!  HEY ERIKA, YOU BE CAREFUL!!!!!!

Cam: WAY!!!!! EASIER SAID THAN DONE!!!!!

Cam looks up and finds Wendy sitting on top of him with both of her legs straddling the sides of his waist in the same fashion as Erika causing Wendy to blush.

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK*  OOPS SORRY, I DID IT AGAIN!!!!!!  *Giggles*

Cam: *BLUSHES DARK RED* YA THINK????!!!!!!  Just be glad I landed in soft snow!!!! LOL!!!!!

Wendy: And I get to have a better look at your handsome face!!!! *Giggles*

Cam: *BLUSHES DARKER RED* WAHTT!!!!!  TRY NOT TO MAKE IT TOO OBVIOUS!!!!!

Princess Erika sees Wendy stealing her pin-down move and instantly gets furious until she realizes there’s nothing she can do about it!!!!!

Princess Erika: THAT LITTLE BRAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO LUCKY THAT IT’S HER BIRTHDAY BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT IS ON!!!!!!
Also good thing Princess Mackenzie isn’t here!!!!!!

Chelia: AWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!  IS SOMEONE JEALOUS???!!!!!!! *GIGGLES*

Troy: NO SURPRISE!!!!!  That is Princess Erika’s specialty move!!!!!  Whenever she wants to show dominance over Cam, and get an answer out of him for something, she’ll tackle him to the ground, pin him down, and sit on top of him with her legs straddle on both sides of him so he can’t get away.
But it seems that Wendy has learned the trick too!!!! LOL!!!!

Princess Erika: EXCEPT IT’S ALWAYS BY ACCIDENT WITH WENDY!!!!!  AND WHAT’S WORSE FOR ME IS IT’S A WAY OF TORTURING AND TEASING HIM, BUT APPARENTLY HE DOESN’T SEEM TO MIND IT WHEN WENDY’S SITTING ON HIM!!!!!

Chelia: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!  It’s probably because she doesn’t know how to show dominance given that being an Alpha female is not really her thing, and will instead just be innocently playful.

Wendy: *Giggles* LOL!!!!!  Razz  Razz  Razz

Chelia: She really is so adorable when she’s like this!!!!!

Ayumi: It’s so obvious that she’s madly in love!!!!!

Miuna: It is just so adorable!!!!

Chelia: Try not to say that too much out loud, or Wendy will be embarrassed as hell, and you know she turns into a huge crybaby when she gets embarrassed after her secret is blown.  She ESPECIALLY doesn't want Cam to know that she's in love with him, or that could ruin their friendship, and she doesn't want that!!!!

Then the entire It’s A Small World Holiday Façade Mall goes pitch black when the Nutcracker projection show begins playing on the façade.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhaOsfzCIqo

Troy: OH……………..

Princess Erika: TEASE ME ABOUT THE NUTCRACKER AGAIN, AND I’LL BE PINNING YOU DOWN IN THE SNOW WORSE THAN I DO WITH CAM!!!!!

And with that Troy shuts up and doesn’t tease Princess Erika about the Nutcracker anymore for the remainder of the night.
However, all the other girls are COMPLETELY Blown away by the Nutcracker Projection Show on the It’s A Small World Holiday Façade.

Chelia: WOW!!!!!  THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!!!

Ayumi: IT’S ALWAYS ONE AMAZING THING AFTER ANOTHER!!!!!

Wendy: OH WOW, THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!!

Carla: It’s just as amazing as I remember seeing it during testing last night!!!!!

As soon as the projection show of the Nutcracker ends, all the lights on the façade turn back on causing the entire mall to burst out into an uproar round of applause.

Wendy: WOW!!!!!!!  THAT WAS JUST SO AMAZING!!!!!

Cam: And it only gets better!!!!!

Troy: Alrighty, the Christmas Fantasy Parade should be starting in 5…………4…………3………….2…………….1…………

And just like that, the announcement goes off over the P/A System, and the music starts for the Christmas Fantasy Parade starts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0MI9OSeKuk

Announcement: LADIES & GENTLEMEN, BOYS & GIRLS!!!!  PLEASE JOIN US IN CELEBRATING THE HOLIDAYS AS THE MAGIC KINGDOM PROUDLY PRESENTS, A CHRISTMAS FANTASY!!!!!!!

Music:

On this special holiday,
Old Saint Nick will load his sleigh.
Santa always finds his way
In a Christmas fantasy.
Children sing a bright encore,
Counting presents and keeping score.
No one sleeps the night before

Everyone’s jaws soon hit the ground as the Toy Soldiers march onto the parade route blowing the trumpets before all the beautiful parade floats follow right behind them. Many people start dancing to the music, a lot of little kids start laughing and having fun, and more bakery employees go around offering freshly baked cookies and hot chocolate during the duration of the Christmas Fantasy Parade.
Carla, Wendy, Chelia, and the rest of the girls are all completely blown away and grow more excited by the minute as each parade float passes them.

Carla: MY GOODNESS I WASN’T EXPECTING ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!!!

Wendy: THIS IS SO AMAZING AND SO MAGICAL!!!!!

Sarah: OH MY GOSH, I LOVE THIS PART!!!!!!

Brooke: SO DO I!!!!!!!!!

Some of Herbie’s friends from the VW Beetle Army drive onto the route following after the Babes In Toyland Segment with their horns honking, and their lights flashing.

Chelia: OH MY GOSH, THESE MUST BE HERBIE’S FRIENDS!!!!!!

Wendy: AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!  THEY ARE SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!

Ayumi: THERE’S SO MANY OF THEM TOO!!!!!!

Johnny 5 and his fellow Robots soon follow behind the Army of VW Beetles as they wave at everyone along the Parade Route.

Johnny 5: HELLO EVERY BODY!!!!!!  I’M HAVING A BLAST HOW ABOUT YOU????!!!!!!

After Johnny 5 comes Santa’s Elves, all 9 tiny Reindeer, and of course Santa himself in his sleigh followed by the Grinch in his sleigh along with his Dog Max pretending like they're trying to steal Christmas.

Santa Claus: HOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!  MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Grinch: HEY, COME BACK HERE!!!!!!!!  WE GOTTA STOP CHRISTMAS FROM HAPPENING MAX!!!!!

Music:
The spirit of the season will make our dreams come true.
Memories of Christmas are here for me and you!
With caroling, bells ring-a-ling,
And Santa Claus will always be
Part of Christmas fantasy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The parade soon vanishes out of site as it continues its way down to Main Street Town Square when…………

Cam: UH-OH!!!!!

Troy: HERE IT COMES!!!!!!

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!!!!!  WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?????!!!!!!!

The lights reduce into total darkness as the beautiful theme music for Believe In Holiday Magic starts playing over the City’s P/A System, projections start showing on the It’s A Small World Holiday façade, colorful red and green colored LEDs shot off from the fountains in the moat, and beautiful fireworks start firing off high into the air before the familiar old lady’s voice was heard over the PA system.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFDIDxmeCJw&t=28s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_TFG6HcaBM&t=2s

Narrator:

Waiting To Touch You Once More!!!!
SO COME ALONG AS THE MAGIC OF THE SEASON LEADS THE WAY!!!!!!

More beautiful works shoot off left and right and soon the night skies over the Beautiful City Of Grand Bay Lake light up like never before as the beautiful theme song plays over the PA system.

Music:
Can you remember
How Christmas makes you feel
That special magic in the air
And all your dreams were real
Can you remember
The smell of ginger bread
Candy canes and sugar plums
That dance inside your head
Remember when the twinkling stars at night
Told you reindeer were in flight
And jolly Santa Claus was on his way
The warmth of candle glow
A kiss of mistletoe
And magic lives and we believe
It's in our hearts to STAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wendy’s, Chelia’s, Carla’s, and all the rest of the girls’ eyes fill up with tears as they watch the beautiful fireworks shooting off, hear the beautiful music over the P/A System, and see the amazing projections on the façade.

Wendy: WOW!!!!!  THIS IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Chelia: WENDY STOP, BECAUSE NOW YOU’RE GONNA MAKE ME CRY!!!!!

Carla: I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA BE AMAZING, BUT I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THIS WONDERFUL!!!!!

Miuna: CAN YOU BELIEVE IT MANAKA????!!!!!!

Manaka: I NEVER THOUGHT SEEING FIREWORKS FOR THE FIRST TIME WOULD BE THIS AMAZING!!!!!!

Sayu: SAME HERE!!!!!!!

Cam: PRINCESS ERIKA, AND TROY!!!!!!!  WE’VE DONE OUR JOBS WELL!!!!!

Troy: HECK YEAH WE HAVE!!!!!!

Princess Erika: WE HAVE GIVEN SOMETHING WONDERFUL TO OUR FRIENDS WHO HAVE NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON BEFORE!!!!!

Cam: AND SEEING THEM EXPERIENCE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IS……………………….

Troy: BEYOND HOW WORDS CAN DESCRIBE!!!!!!!!

Music:
Remember the caring
A season worth sharing
Believe in the magic in our LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES!!!!!!!!
Just open up your heart
And relive the feeling
Just remember the magic
Yes, remember the magic
One more time!!!!!

Soon the March Of The Toys theme song is played over the P/A system as a scene from Babes In Toyland shows up on the projections, and more fireworks keep firing high into the air until………….

Cam: UH-OH!!!!

WHOOOOO, WHOOOOO!!!!!

The Casey Jr. Circus Train from Dumbo shows up on the projections as he steams his way over a floor full of a bunch of Toys and Christmas Presents.

Princess Erika: NOW THAT IS CUTE!!!!!

After seeing more beautiful and colorful fireworks shoot high into the air, and hearing beautiful music over the P/A system, we near the finale as the Nutcracker begins playing over the P/A system, and the colorful fireworks shoot in multiple different directions as they’re launched out from behind the façade, and fly high into the air.

Troy: NOW THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!

Cam: I ONLY WISH IT WAS LONGER!!!!!

Princess Erika: ME TOO!!!!!!!!!

Wendy: THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!!!

Chelia: I KNOW RIGHT?????!!!!!!!

Carla: JUST UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!  I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START!!!!!

Wendy: WOW, JUST LOOK AT THOSE SHOOTING STAR FLARES!!!!!!!

Chelia: THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

Wendy: Hey Cam, I want to ask you something?

Cam: Yes?

Wendy: These fireworks look MUCH like the ones I saw from my hotel room last night up in Tocoma a little after mid-night.  Were you guys setting them off???!!!!

Cam: Yes we did, during the dress rehearsal to make sure everything was working right!!!!!

Wendy: MAKES SENSE!!!!  I had a feeling that the fireworks going off late last night were coming from here!!!!

Cam: You were not supposed to know about them!!!!

Wendy: Sorry, I couldn't really sleep, and neither could Happy, so we watched the fireworks from our room!!!!  Don't worry, I wasn't able to see the whole thing, and now seeing them up close really makes what has happened these passed 2 weeks worth it!!!!!!

Wendy gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek before she lays her head on his shoulder.
And the finale finally rolls around, and kicks off as the beautiful music plays over Grand Bay Lake’s P/A System.

Music:
Treasure it again (Remember)
It never has to end (Joy of sharing)
Remember the magic in our lives (Remember the magic)
Just open up your heart
Embrace all those feelings
Just remember the meaning (Remember)
Yes, remember the feeling (Remember)
For all time
FOR ALL TIME!!!!!!

Narrator: Cherish the holidays forever, and always BELIEVE!!!!!!

And with that, the finale shoots off into the air lighting up the sky in the beautiful holiday colors before very last segment of the snowfall scene begins playing over the PA system as snow gently falls down from the sky, and snow blowers blow fake gingerbread flavored snow all over the place.

Wendy: WOW!!!!!  THAT WAS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Chelia: AND LOOK GIRLS, IT’S SNOWING!!!!!!!

Wendy grabs ahold of Cam’s hand, clasps it both of hers before holding it close to her heart as tears pour down her face.

Wendy: Thank you so much Cam………….this is more than anything I could have hoped for on my 13th birthday.  You have given me the most amazing celebration, and for that I can’t be anymore thankful.  

Music:
I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

Wendy gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek and lays her head on his shoulder when………….

Cam: WAHTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wendy: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Chelia, Princess Erika, Sarah, Ayumi, Miuna, and the rest of the girls get careless when throwing snowballs causing Nina to accidently bump into Wendy, causing her to trip, and knock Cam back into the snow landing him on his back.
Wendy soon lands on top of Cam, and sits on him in the same fashion as Princess Erika yet again.

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK*  SORRY CAM, ARE YOU OKAY???!!!!!

Cam: I’m used to it by now!!!! LOL!!!!  Besides it’s to be expected with everyone getting carried away while playing in the snow.

Wendy then picks up some snow, makes a snowball, and throws it in Cam’s face.

Cam: OWWWWWW!!!!!  EASY ON THE SNOWBALLS THERE!!!!!

Wendy: NA-AH!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!!

And like that Cam and Wendy being playing in the snow and join in on the snowball fight.

Music:
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I’m Dreaming oh…….dreaming…….
Dreaming……………
Ohhhh……..Dreaming……..
Dreaming……………

The snowball fights go on and on and on until Wendy accidentally trips, and lands in the ice cold snow.

Wendy: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!  OOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

Cam: Wendy, are you alright?

Cam attempts to help Wendy, but she yanks him down.

Cam: WAHTT!!!!!!!  I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!!!!!

Wendy then once again lifts up her skirt, straddles her legs on the sides of Cam’s waist, and sits on top of him in the same fashion as Princess Erika.
This REALLY makes Princess Erika VERY jealous!!!!!

Princess Erika: HOW DARE SHE STEAL MY MOVE!!!!!!!!!  

Ayumi: AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!  LITTLE WENDY SURE IS GROWING UP QUICK!!!!!

Carla: AGAIN, I MUST HOLD BACK BECAUSE IT’S HER BIRTHDAY!!!!

Wendy: *GIGGLES* Sorry, I can’t help it!!!!!!  I just can’t get enough of looking at your handsome face, and…………..

Wendy gently plays with Cam’s hair.

Wendy: I REALLY ENJOY PLAYING WITH YOUR HAIR!!!!!  DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVE THE RED COLOR YOU ADD TO IT???!!!!! *GIGGLES*

Cam: WAHTT!!!!! *BLUSHES DARK RED*  YOU’RE HAVING WAY TOO MUCH FUN WITH THIS!!!!!!

Wendy: NA-AH!!!!  NOT ENOUGH ACTUALLY!!!!!

Wendy then gives Cam a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Music:
Of A White Christmas………..
Ohhhh……..Dreaming……..
Dreaming………………
Of A White Christmas…………
Oh Dreaming……………….

As the music fades away, and the lights turn back on Wendy wraps her arms around Cam, and gives him a big hug.

Wendy: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE MOST AMAZING BIRTHDAY CAM!!!!!

Cam: Of course Wendy!!!!!!

Wendy then gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek before she gets off of him, and both she and Cam get back on their feet.

Cam: And perfect timing because there’s our train!!!!!

Wendy: Let’s try to catch it!!!!!

Cam: We still have one more show, and a few other surprises!!!!!

Wendy: Okay!!!!!

Cam: ALRIGHT EVERYONE, OUR TRAIN IS WAITING FOR US!!!!!

Troy: AWESOME, LET’S GO!!!!!

After our friends Return to Main Street one of the bakers waits anxiously for Cam by the Town Square Christmas Tree in the Parade’s V.I.P. Viewing area.

Baker: THERE YOU ARE!!!!  We’ve been waiting for you!!!!

Cam: Awesome, do you have “IT” Ready to go???!!!!

Baker: Yep, and here’s what I have on the order is this right?

Cam: YES, THAT’S PERFECT!!!!  HERE SHE COMES, NOW SCRAM, SCRAM!!!!

Baker: RIGHT AWAY SIR!!!!

Big Joe: WHAT THE?  GET AWAY!!!!

And the sounds of chairs wrestling are heard coming out of Main Street Station’s Break Room.

Cam: Oh Great, what are those clowns up to now???!!!!!

Wendy comes running over to Cam after realizing he had run off.

Wendy: HEY CAM, WAIT UP!!!
Why’d you run off???!!!!

Cam: Sorry, I had to take care a few things at the very last second.

The rest of our friends regroup with Cam and Wend at just the right time.

Baker: HERE IT IS SIR!!!!!!

Cam: PERFECT TIMING!!!!!

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!!!!!

The baker and his crew comes walking out of Copenhagen Baker carrying a giant Strawberry Romanoff Cake with beautiful candles numbered 13.

Everybody: HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY PRINCESS WENDY!!!!!

Wendy: AWWWWWWWWW, YOU GUYS!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: HERE YOU GO!!!!

Princess Erika gently places a beautiful tiara on top of Wendy’s head with the numbers 13 beautifully illuminating with colorful LEDs.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH!!!!!

Once again, Wendy breaks down crying as she wraps her arms around Princess Erika in an intimate hug.

Wendy: THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!  YOU GUYS REALLY DIDN’T HAVE TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: Of course, but you’re our special friend and you’re like family to us!!!!

Wendy: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!  YOU GUYS EVEN GOT ME MY FAVORITE CAKE!!!!

Princess Erika: THERE’S STILL MORE!!!!

Princess Erika opens up her item storage and hands Wendy her birthday Present.

Princess Erika: I saw this when in Las Vegas, and INSTANTLY thought of you!!!!

Wendy slowly and carefully opens her present from Princess Erika, gently lifts it out of the packaging and wraps her arms around it.

Wendy: THIS BEAR IS SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Princess Erika: It’s a Christmas Bear!  I thought it would be a good way to introduce you to the holiday season.

Wendy: AGAIN, HE’S SO CUTE!!!!!!

Princess Erika: There’s one more package in there for you!!!!

Wendy reaches in the packaging of her present again, and gently pulls it out.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, IT’S A BEAUTIFUL MUSIC BOX!!!!!

Princess Erika: Knew you had to have it!!!!!

Wendy: AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Troy: I wasn’t really sure what to get you, however I did pop over to the Gelato shop at the Venetian.  Sure enough it’s VERY similar to the one in Las Vegas, so I got you a $200 dollar gift card for it.  Thankfully the gift card works both here and in our world!!!!  Change the US dollar currency to kole, and that is A VERY LONG supply of gelato!!!!

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, THANK YOU SO MUCH TROY!!!!!

Carla: Oh dear!!!!  She’ll be on an endless sugar rush no thanks to you!!!! LOL!!!!

Cam: And last but not least, here’s one from me.

Cam gently hands Wendy her gift, and Wendy carefully opens the box revealing the beautiful glass heart on the necklace.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Cam: I thought it would match your cute outfits, and it matches both this one and the other one very well.

Wendy: YOU’RE RIGHT IT DOES!!!!!  THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH CAM, I AM NEVER TAKING THIS OFF!!!!!!

Wendy wraps her arms around Cam and gives him a gentle kiss on the cheek when…………………

Troy: And all the lights have gone dim!!!!

Princess Erika: WAIT FOR IT!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFoChPIapqM&t=61s

Announcement: LADIES & GENTLEMEN, BOYS & GIRLS!!!!  
The Magic Kingdom proudly presents our nighttime spectacular festival pageant of magic and imagination!!!  In thousands of sparkling lights, and electro syncro magnetic musical sounds!!!
THE MAIN STREET ELECTRICAL PARADE!!!!!!!!!

And with that the parade kicks off as the world famous “Baroque Hoedown” music starts blaring over the PA system while at the same time Christmas songs play in the background.  Sure enough the Baroque Hoedown is pitched in the correct note range to match the Christmas Music, and the 2 soundtracks blend together beautifully.
It isn’t long until Goofy in the Casey Jr. Circus engine steams out onto the parade route in clouds of smoke and steam while blowing his whistle with the massive drum tow with Mickey & Minnie waving at everyone.

Cam: PERFECT TIMING!!!!!!

As Casey Jr. begins steaming down the parade route, the snow blowers activate causing fake snow to blow all over the parade route.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7Z35IZmTZw&t=128s

Wendy: WOW!!!!!!

Carla: IN ALL OUR YEARS LIVING HERE, WE ALWAYS HEAR THE MUSIC FROM OUR ROOMS, BUT NEVER ONCE HAVE WE TAKEN THE CHANCE TO SEE THIS!!!!!!

Cam: THIS SHOW MAYBE OLD…………

Troy: BUT IT’S A TIMELESS CLASSIC!!!!!

Chelia: OH MY GOSH, I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE THIS!!!!

Following the Casey Jr. Circus engine and drum float, Herbie and the Junk Yard Beetle follow behind carrying a large colorful LED banner saying HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY WENDY with Donald Duck Driving one car, and Pluto driving the other.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH!!!!!!  IT’S BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Cam, Troy, & Princess Erika: Happy Birthday Wendy!!!!

Wendy grabs Cam’s hand, clasps it tightly in hers and holds it close to her heart as she lays her head on Cam’s shoulder as Princess Erika gently puts her arm around her, and Troy gently pats her on the head.

Wendy: YOU GUYS HAVE GIVEN ME THE MOST AMAZING BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!!

Wendy and the girls enjoy eating the birthday cake as the spinning turtles, snails,  fire flies, the White Rabbit wearing Santa Suit, and the rest of the Alice & Wonderland section makes its way out onto the parade route.

Chelia: OH MY GOSH THESE THINGS ARE SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!

Ayumi: AWWWWWWW!!!!  THAT SNAIL JUST BOWED HIS HEAD!!!!!

Alice: OH MR. FIRE FLY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING???!!!!

The fire fly shakes side to side as if he doesn’t know.

Alice: IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KNOW WHEN YOU GET THERE?????!!!!!

After the Alice in Wonderland section passes,  the Swan Lake Section makes its way out onto the route with the beautiful mother Swan and her babies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYK8HuCR11E

Nina: OH MY GOSH, THEY ARE SO PRETTY!!!!!

Cam: WE DON’T HAVE THIS SECTION BACK IN CALIFORNIA!!!!

Troy: APPARENTLY, IT’S STILL STORED IN A WAREHOUSE!!!!!

As soon as the Swan Lake Section passes, Cinderella shows up in her beautiful Golden Carriage followed by the ballroom dance scene, and then the giant clock, Big Ben, striking Mid-Night.

Wendy, Chelia, Princess Erika, and the rest of the girls can’t get enough of Cinderella.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, SHE’S SO PRETTY!!!!!

Chelia: I LOVE THE GLASS SLIPPER!!!!

Princess Erika: CINDERELLA IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES AND IS A MUST SEE!!!!

Sarah: I JUST LOVE THE BALL ROOM DANCE SCENE!!!!

Haley: ME TOO!!!!!

Carla: THIS IS AMAZING, PROBABLY THE BEST SHOW BY FAR!!!!

Cam: Hence why we saved it for last! ☺

After the Cinderella section passes, Tinkerbelle makes her way onto the route on her beautiful flower garden float waving her wand followed by Peter Pan and Captain hook fighting on a pirate ship with Smee trailing behind in his littler row boat wearing a Santa suit.
Following the Peter Pan section comes Dopy and his diamond mine train with Snow White dancing along with 3 of the seven dwarfs followed by a diamond mine float with Sleepy, Sneezey, and Bashful digging out the diamonds.
After Snow White comes Pinocchio, then Dumbo, then Pete’s Dragon, then To Honor The Magic Kingdom with the giant Grand Bay Lake Flag laying over a large set of drums with a giant Bald Eagle flapping it’s wings on the back with Grand Bay Lake’s National Anthem, We Built This City playing out of the finale float.
However, the To Honor The Magic Kingdom float is not the finale for the holiday season.

Cam: And here’s the new addition we made for the Holiday season………..

The remaineder of Herbie’s VW Beetle friends drive out onto the route, each one being driven by one of Santa’s elves, and all towing Santa’s Sleigh with no one other than Santa Claus.  And of course Mr. Grinch and his dog Max chase after him in their sleigh.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH, HERBIE’S FRIENDS ARE SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!

Chelia: I LOVE HOW THEY’VE ALL BEEN DECORATED!!!!!

Santa Claus: HOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOO!!!!!  MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

Grinch: YOU!!!!!!  I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!!!!!!

Sure enough Santa’s sleigh is beautifully lit in gorgeous LEDs and many other Disney Characters walk onto the parade route wearing Santa Suits wishing everyone a happy holidays as the Parade makes its way up along Main Street, Passed the Castle, and vanishes off into the night.

Announcement: THE MAGIC KINGDOM’S MAIN STREET ELECTRICAL PARADE!!!!!

As the Main Street Electrical Parade wraps up, and the famous “Baroque Hoedown” comes to an end, and all the lights come one.

Cam, Troy, & Princess Erika: BOOOOOO & YA!!!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika all high five each other signaling that their job was a job well done.

Carla: YOU 3 HAVE GIVEN WENDY THE MOST AMAZING 13TH BIRTHDAY ANY GIRL COULD EVER DREAM OF, AND I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!!

Wendy: AGAIN, YOU 3 ARE THE BEST FRIENDS A GIRL COULD EVER ASK FOR!!!!!  THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!

Troy: However, it’s not quite over yet………….

Cam: We still have one more surprise to show you.

Princess Erika: It may not be much, but follow us and we’ll show you!!!!!!

Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika lead Wendy, Carla and the rest of the girls all the way up Main Street, to Grand Bay Lake’s BIG hub looking straight ahead at the beautifully decorated royal castle.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH!!!!

Carla: OH MY GOODNESS!!!!

Chelia: WOW!!!!!!!

Ayumi: OUR HOME!!!!!

Nina: IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

Then out of nowhere, the lights go dim for a final time, and beautiful music begins playing over the P/A system.
Shortly after the music begins playing, beautiful snow flakes begin falling from the sky again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MqfAFcX-c4

Princess Erika: And what do you know?  

Miuna: IT’S SNOWING AGAIN!!!!

Then the snow blowers kick on again blowing fake gingerbread flavored snow EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Ayumi: HERE COMES MORE OF THAT AWESOME FAKE SNOW!!!!!

Cam: Your home is now ready for you after 2 weeks of meticulous decorating.

Wendy: It’s so wonderful Cam………….

Wendy holds Cam’s hand and gives him a gentle kiss on the cheek as more snow begins falling gently from the sky.

Music:
One snowflakes swirls down from the Heavens
And dances through the niiiiiiigggggghhhhhtt………….
Shimmering beneath the stars……………
A dozen more take flight…………….

Tears begin pouring down the faces of all the girls.

Princess Erika: I had forgotten about this!!!!!

Troy: I didn’t think you’d add this!!!!

Cam: I couldn’t leave out some of the finer details!!!!  I knew we just had to add this!!!!

Wendy gently lays her head on Cam’s shoulder, and Cam gently strokes her beautiful long violet colored hair.

Music:
Softly they grow into a snowfall
Glistening and drifting Hooooooooooooooooome…………
The wonders that move forward now……………….
Shines deep within your soul……………..

Chelia: WOW!!!!  THIS HAS GOT TO BE MY FAVORITE PART OF TONIGHT BY FAR!!!!!

Carla: MINE TOO!!!!!!

Wendy: I COULD LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE ONLY SEEING THIS!!!!!!

Music: ALL AROUND YOU………..
Beautiful and bright……………………..
JOY SURROUNDS YOU……………..
HOPE, AND LOVE, AND LIGHT!!!!!
LET YOUR DREAMS ALL TAKE FLIGHT……….
And feel the whole world shine!!!!!

The drawbridge to the castle gently lowers, and the doors to the castle open wide revealing a BEAUTIFULLY decorated interior with a GIANT 15 foot Nobel Fir Christmas Tree covered in beautiful and colorful LED lights, beautiful Christmas ornaments, a beautiful LGB Christmas Train powered by Cam’s personal LGB Christmas 2-6-0 Mogul towing his own personal Christmas Train cars, and a beautiful color changing LED star at the very top.

Cam, Troy, & Princess Erika: Welcome home girls!!!!!

And like that, all the girls run across the draw bridge, and into the beautifully decorated castle, except for Wendy who stays behind with Cam and Troy.

Troy: Well, it’s getting late, but I’ll make one last run to Starbucks.

Cam: Sounds good Troy.

Troy: Once again, Happy 13th Birthday Wendy.

Wendy: Thank you so much Troy!!!!

Troy then takes his leave and heads off for Starbucks on Main Street.

Cam: Well, I’m gonna see if Eric Heffernan would like me to put the train away.

However Wendy stops Cam and doesn’t let him leave.

Wendy: Na-ah!!!  You’re not going anywhere!!!!  

Cam: Uh-Oh!!!!

Wendy: I’d like you to join us and be part of our sleep over!!!!  Just until we’re ready for bed……….okay?

Cam: Are you sure, because normally it’s mainly an all girls thing?

Wendy: You gave me the most magical 13th birthday any girl could ever dream of, and for that I’m not letting you go!!!!
I want to spend more time with you, and I want you to spend more time with the rest of us.  You have done so much, and we can never thank you enough.
So please, join us for our sleep over!!!!  Just for a little, until we’re ready for bed, okay?

Cam: Is that an order?

Wendy: Yes it is!!!!

Cam: You got me beat!!!

Wendy: Let’s go, okay?

Cam: You got it Princess!

Wendy gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek before she and Cam cross over the draw bridge holding hands as the music slowly fades out of the P/A System.
Troy sees the whole thing and smiles.

Music:
Feel it shine…………
Ohhhhhhh shining…………
Shining……………..
And feel it shine………
Ooooooohhhhhhh……………

Troy: You sure have come a very long ways Camaro, and I’m proud of you!!!!
Now time to try my luck at some gabling in the casinos.


To Be Continued………………………….

Chapter 22

Joy To The World: A Spectacular Christmas Eve Mass

With Wendy’s 13th birthday being a huge success to kick off the smash hit of the new Holiday celebration in Grand Bay Lake, many obstacles have been overcome, but there is still one big obstacle that lies ahead.  And that obstacle is Christmas Eve Mass at Notre Dame De Royal.
A lot of pressure now lies on Cam’s shoulders, and for that Cam practices for hours on the Arboretum Fred Swan Pipe Organ at Christ Cathedral everyday.
However Cam’s practice pays off as he gets better and better everyday.
But is it enough?

Cam: It sounded okay, but I think I can do better.  I may need to move to the larger organ inside the Cathedral building because that Casavant Organ at Notre Dame De Royal is larger than the pipe organ in the main building here at Christ Cathedral by another 3000 pipes too!!!!  Unfortunately Hazel still needs to be revoiced and is nowhere NEAR ready to be playable!!!!!!
Therefor it's still better that I practice on the Walker Digital Organ in the main building if I want to get as close to mastering it on the Notre Dame De Royal Casavant as possible.

Miraculously Cam manages to get approval to use the Walker Digital organ in Christ Cathedral’s main building.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!  I’ve now got permission to use the main building’s Walker Organ, and it’s one more week until Christmas Eve, so LET’S DO THIS THING!!!!

Demand only gets bigger and bigger at the Von Ludwig Gaming Corporation as new shipments of the popular Game Enchanted 2: The Four Realms Adventures, finally arrive, and hit the stores fast.
Grand Bay Lake is looking more and more beautiful as more and more Christmas presents are hauled in by the C-19 locomotives traveling from near and far.
Every local and tourist places Christmas Presents for their loved ones underneath the Main Street Town Square Christmas Tree.
Erika’s rehearsal for the Nutcracker gets better and better each day, as the day of the Nutcracker’s performance gets closer and closer.
At Grand Bay Lake’s Notre Dame De Royal, the music is beginning to sound like a master piece as Bishop Robert, Father Christopher, and Music Director John make final preparations for Christmas Eve Mass.

Bishop Robert: The music is sounding more and more amazing every time I hear it!!!!

Father Christopher: I completely agree!!!  Can you believe that tomorrow is already Christmas Eve???!!!!

Bishop Robert: I know!!!!  We can FINALLY unveil the main reason behind Christmas, and the birth of Jesus Christ to the Beautiful City Of Grand Bay Lake!!!!

John: I just hope that our new organist Camaro, pulls through for us.

Bishop Robert: Oh he better!!!!  Otherwise I’ll have Joe rip a BIG ONE on him while on the train!!!! MWA HAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Father Christopher: I still can’t believe that Joe shoved the bell of that tuba on your head!!!!

Bishop Robert: MY GOD!!!!!  I HOPE I DON’T HAVE TO WEAR THAT THING EVER AGAIN, BECAUSE IT IS PAINFUL!!!!!!  LUCKILY THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT IT, IS WHEN JOHN GOSS OR JOE RIP ONE, I DON’T HAVE TO SMELL THEIR GAS!!!!!  HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

John: Better be nice because Joe volunteered to join the brass ensemble with his Tuba!!!!!

Bishop Robert: UH-OH!!!!!!  LET’S HOPE HE DOESN’T RIP ONE HERE LIKE HE DID AT HIS CHURCH!!!!!!! HAAAAA, HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

John: What do you mean?

Bishop Robert: He’s a pastor over at his church, and one day he went up to preach.  As he went up to preach he started his sermon with “HEY MAN!!!!” And then he ripped A BIG ONE loud enough to shake the building.  The choir then broke out into a song about it, and his wife got SOOOOOO EMBARASSED!!!!  She sat him down and said “JOSEPH, NO FARTING IN CHURCH!!!!!”

Big Joe: SHUT UP YOU!!!!  I HEARD THAT YOU PECKERHEAD!!!!!

Bishop Robert: OH HI JOE!!!!!

Big Joe: I JUST GOT MY TUBA FIXED AND POLISHED, AND HAVE COME TO REHEARSE WITH THE BRASS ENSEMBLE!!!!  DON’T YOU DARE GIVE ME ANY TROUBLE NOW!!!!!

Joe sits down, gets out his tuba, and starts rehearsing with everyone else.

Father Christopher: MY GOD, THIS MUSIC SOUNDS MORE AND MORE AMAZING!!!!

Bishop Robert: This will no doubt be an amazing Mass!!!!

It is now 1:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve, the day of Erika’s performance in the nutcracker, and the day of Christmas Eve Mass at Notre Dame De Royal.
At the Von Ludwig Estate outside of Huntington Beach, Cam stops by to pick up Erika, and take her to her performance at the massive performing arts center.
Cam goes up to Erika’s room to help her with a few things.

Erika: Hey Cam, do you mind handing me my bag?

Cam: No problem!!!!

Erika puts the last of her supplies in her ballet bag.

Erika: Okay, got my ballet slippers, a spare pair of tights and underwear, butt glue, make up kit, my blue tutu, my tiara, and my lip gloss. UUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHH, WHAT AM I MISSING???????!!!!!!!!!!!

Cam: I think you just got about everything!!!!

Erika: Not yet, I know there’s something missing………………..AH-HA!!!!  My breath mints, and my hair ribbons!!!!

Cam: Perfect!!!!

Erika: Okay, now lets go!!!!!

Cam: Alrigtht!!!!

Cam grabs Erika’s bag, and the 2 make a mad dash out of the house.

Erika: OKAY MOM, CAM’S TAKING ME TO THE NUTCRACKER!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: OKAY SWEETIE!!!!!  BREAK A LEG!!!!!!
ALSO WHAT TIME IS MASS AGAIN IN GRAND BAY LAKE????!!!!!

Cam: IT’S AT 6:00 P.M. ON THE DOT!!!!!!

Mr. Von Ludwig: HOW MANY NIGHTS ARE WE THERE FOR AGAIN????!!!!!  WE HAVE TO LEAVE ON TUESDAY NIGHT FOR NEW YEARS IN NEW YORK CITY!!!!!

Cam: FOR YOU AND MOM, JUST THE WEEKEND SINCE, AND YOU’RE ALSO BOOKED IN YOUR PRIVATE SUITE AT THE GRAND FLORIDIAN!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: SOUNDS PERFECT!!!!!  

Cam: I’LL BE AT CHRIST CATHEDRAL DOING SOME FINE TUNING ON WALKER UNTIL 5:00!!!!!

Erika: TROY PICKS ME UP AT 5:00 ON THE DOT, AND WE’RE GOING STRAIGHT THERE!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: SOUNDS GOOD SWEETIE!!!!!  YOU 2 BREAK A LEG!!!!

Cam & Erika: THANK YOU, WE WILL!!!!!!

Cam and Erika hop into Cam’s car, and Cam wastes no time in driving Erika to the Performing Arts Center and dropping her off.

Cam: Alright Sweetie, you have fun!!!!

Erika: Thank you so much, I will!!!!!

Cam: Troy picks you up at 5:00 on the dot, and the plan is to go to Grand Bay Lake ASAP.

Erika: Okay!!!!!

Cam: You’re gonna do great as usual!!!!

Erika: And so will you!!!!!

Cam hands Erika her bag before Erika wraps her arms around Cam and gives him a big hug.  She then gives him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Erika: No matter what happens, you always inspire me to do my best, and I know you’re gonna be just fine.

Cam: As will you!!!!

Erika: Also Cam, you will always be the best big brother a girl could ask for!!!!

Erika gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek, and Cam gives her a gentle kiss on top of the head.

Erika: I love you Cam, with all my heart.

Cam: I love you too Sweetie!!!!

Erika: Break A leg Cam!!!

Cam: You too!!!!

Cam then hops back in his car, depresses the clutch, shifts the transmission into gear, and drives off as Erika waves good-bye before making her way into the building.
In no time Cam is at Christ Cathedral and wastes no time in practicing on the mighty Walker Digital Organ for the final time.
His playing is getting better and better, and soon he is adding more of his own flare to Joy To The World much like he would for any other song or hymn he's familiar with.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuT2zuOdIvQ

He starts off on the Great Division before coupling the Antiphonal, Swell, and Choir Divisions with the various sounds of the trumpet en-chamades of the mighty Reed sections.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!!  ALMOST THERE!!!!!  JUST A LITTLE MORE!!!!!

Cam continues playing on and on, and on.  Minutes turn into hours, and those hours fly by REAL fast.

Cam: UH-OH!!!!  IT’s 4:52!!!!!!  Maybe I can just squeak in one more round!!!!

That one more round turns into 2, then 3, and then 4, until…………….

Cam: WHAT????!!!!!!! 5:15 ALREADY????!!!!!!!!  WAHTTT, I’M LATE!!!!!!!!

Cam shuts off the organ and closes up the console just as organist David Ball walks through the door.

David Ball: Hey Cam, how are you?

Cam: Hanging in there. LOL!!!  But needless to say I'm running late for my gig at Notre Dame De Royal!!!

David Ball: Uh-Oh!!!  Can't have that!!

Cam: My thought's exactly!!! LOL!!!  Anyways, Merry Christmas David!!!

David Ball: Merry Christmas Cam.  You'll do fine!!!  Pay no attention to haters because haters are gonna hate!!

Cam: Good point!!! Smile

Cam then makes a mad dash for his car, and drives out of Christ Cathedral's Parking Lot.

Meanwhile Troy and Erika are waiting anxiously for Cam back at the house with the gaming consoles all fired up when Erika gives him a call.

Erika: CAM, WHERE ARE YOU????!!!!!  TROY AND I ARE ALREADY BACK AT THE HOUSE READY TO ENTER THE PORTAL!!!!!!

Cam: YOU 2 GO AHEAD WITHOUT ME!!!!  HEAD TO THE CATHEDRAL!!!!  I’LL BE THERE AS SOON AS I CAN!!!!!

Erika: Let me guess, you just had to keep at it because you weren’t 100% percent satisfied???!!!!

Cam: I’m still not!!!!  I still don't know if I can do this.................

Erika: Again, don’t worry about it, you’re gonna be just fine!!!!!  
But honestly, you can be too much of a perfectionist, you know that???!!!!!

Troy: Hmmmmm, a certain little girl here was nervous about The Nutcracker!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Erika: SHUT UP TROY!!!!!!

Cam: Did it go well???!!!!!

Erika: THANKFULLY YES!!!!!  IN FACT IT WAS A BLAST!!!!!

Cam: THAT’S WONDERFUL!!!!!

Erika: I made a couple mistakes, but they were hardly noticeable!!!!!
Also one of my ballet slippers finally gave out the ghost, so time for a new pair!!!
I only wish I had time to change into something more comfy, but it is what it is!!!!!

Troy: Hey, we best get going!!!!!

Erika: Okay Cam, Troy and I are going in!!!!!  Just get here as soon as possible, okay????!!!!!

Cam: No problem.

Cam then receives a text from Robert, who’s asking him if everything’s okay.  Cam replies with a yes, and Robert replies with another message asking for more help.

Cam: Oh by the way Troy???

Troy: Yes???

Cam: Robert asked me for more help because apparently he’s short on altar servers, and asked if you were willing to help.
I said yes.

Troy: WHAT?????!!!!!!!!

Erika: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  THAT’S PAY BACK FOR TEASING ME ABOUT THE NUTCRACKER!!!!!!!  LOL!!!!

Cam: HEY, WE BOTH USED TO DO IT ALL THE TIME, AND WERE REALLY GOOD PROS AT IT!!!!!!!

Troy: BUT THAT WAS LONG AGO!!!!!!

Cam: HEY, ONCE IT’S HARDWIRED INTO YOUR MEMORY, YOU NEVER FORGET IT!!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Troy: UUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!  THERE ARE TIMES I REALLY HATE THAT YOU’RE THE OLDER TWIN!!!!!!!

Erika: OKAY TROY, WE GOTTA GO!!!!!!!

Troy: UGH!!!!  YOU SO OWE ME FOR THIS!!!!!

Troy and Erika get off the phone, and instantly warp into Grand Bay Lake.
Cam steps on the throttle, drives faster, and makes his way back to the house.

Cam: ALRIGHT!!!!  It’s 5:23 now, and if I hurry I can make it!!!!!

Cam backs his car into the garage, shuts off the engine, locks the car, runs into the house, jumps down the flight of stairs into the basement, and warps into the Magic Kingdom.
When he arrives in Main Street Town Square of Grand Bay Lake it’s 5:25, and Herbie drives up to him with his driver door open.

Cam: THANKS HERBIE!!!!!  OFF TO NOTRE DAME, AND NOT A MOMENT TO LOSE!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrRB8lcBlqc

Cam hops into Herbie’s Driver’s Seat, and Herbie closes his door, and takes off with his tires screamin while popping a wheelie.

Cam: Alright, where is my nice suit?  

Cam opens up his item storage, and finds his nice suit, tie, dress shoes, and vestments.

Cam: PERFECT!!!!!!  

Cam hops into Herbie’s back seat, and wastes no time in changing as Herbie continues flying down the road.

At Notre Dame De Royal, THOUSANDS of people are inside taking their seats.
Troy wastes no time in rushing to the basement and putting on his robe, and tying a red chord around his waist.
Princess Erika rushes to the 2 front rows that say "Reserved For The Royal Council," just in front of the large organ console near the South Transept of the Cathedral, and takes a seat.

Princess Erika: OH GOOD!!!!!  Looks like I’m the first one here to arrive!!!!!
It isn’t long until Wendy, Carla, Chelia, and the rest of the girls show up, along with Poe, Finn, Rami, Toby, Artemus Gordon, Jim West, Dorion, and Haji.
EVERYONE is dressed at their best, but no one looks as amazing as Wendy and Chelia.
Wendy is back in her BEAUTIFUL White frilly dress/mini skirt with cute frilled sleeves and red ribbons, calf high socks, red boots, from Fairy Tail's Key Of The Starry Heaven's Arch and is also wearing a beautiful red jacket.  And of course she wears the beautiful glass heart that Cam gave to her for her birthday.  And you can see that Chelia is wearing that same cute outfit that her Fairy Tail counterpart wore during the the banquet after the Grand Magic Games.  And rather than her hair being in the usual twin pigtails, they are instead in 2 adorable twin buns.

Wendy: HEY ERIKA!!!!!

Princess Erika: HEY GIRLS, I’M RIGHT OVER HERE!!!!!  WOW!!!!!!!!  YOU GIRLS LOOK AMAZING!!!!!!!

Wendy: THANK YOU SO MUCH, SO DO YOU!!!!!

Princess Erika: THANK YOU!!!!  I just got back from performing in the Nutcracker, which is why I'm still wearing my Blue Tutu, Tiara, and why my hair's still in a Ballet Bun.  LOL!!!!

Wendy: AWESOME, HOW DID THAT GO????!!!!!

Princess Erika: IT WENT GREAT!!!!  THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!!!!!

Wendy: OF COURSE, I AM SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT!!!!!

Princess Erika: ALSO CHELIA I LOVE HOW YOUR HAIR IS IN TWIN BUNS!!!!  THEY ARE SO ADORABLE!!!!!!

Chelia: AWWWWWWWWWWWW, THANKS ERIKA!!!!!  I REALLY LOVE YOUR HAIR TOO!!!!!

Soon EVERYONE sees Big Joe walking up the aisle with his shiny beautiful Gold C, and Silver F Tubas.

Chelia: IS THAT JOE FROM THE TRAIN????!!!!!!

Princess Erika: IT SURE IS!!!!

Carla: I thought he looked familiar!!!

Princess Erika: He plays Tuba full time as a music teacher!!!!!  

Wendy: THAT’S AWESOME!!!!!

Princess Erika: Cam, Troy, and I have been to a couple of his Tuba concerts in our world and he is AMAZING!!!!!!

Wendy: WOW!!!!!  I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR HIM!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: I know Robert teases Joe A LOT about his tuba, but that’s because they’re really good friends, and have been for a long time!!!!!  However Joe says that Robert can’t tell a good tune from a fart, even if it hit him in the face, but that’s just Joe fighting back!!!!!  *GIGGLES*

Wendy: That’s good to know!!!! *GIGGLES*

Big Joe: HEY LADIES, HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING THIS FINE EVENING????!!!!!

Princess Erika: WE’RE DOING GREAT, THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!!  HOW ARE YOU JOE???!!!!!!

Big Joe: I’M DOING WONDERFUL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING!!!!!  AND MY DON’T YOU YOUNG LADIES ALL LOOK LOVELY THIS EVENING!!!!!

Wendy: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

Chelia: Are you playing tuba tonight?

Big Joe: I SURE AM PRINCESS CHELIA!!!!!  I’VE GOT MY C AND F TUBAS POLISHED UP AND READY TO GO WITH THE BRASS ENSEMBLE THIS EVENING!!!!!  NOW PRINCESS ERIKA, WHERE ARE THOSE PECKERHEAD BROTHERS OF YOURS?????!!!!!

Princess Erika: Well, one of them volunteered to altar serve, and is in the basement changing.  The other has been practicing playing Christmas music on the pipe organ until the VERY LAST SECOND!!!!!!  I tell ya, it’s like he’s NEVER satisfied, or it’s NEVER GOOD ENOUGH for him!!!!!  And for that he’s running late and you all have NO IDEA how nervous he is.

Big Joe: Good For Troy!!!!  I’m proud of him.
Also about Cam, what you said is true of EVERY musician.  We are never 100% percent satisfied with our music, no matter how good it sounds.  What may sound like a masterpiece to A LOT of people, is never enough for the musician playing the music, so we’re always pushing ourselves to do better.  In the end, we end up losing track of time a lot when we’re young, but as we get older, we get more confident in what we do.

Princess Erika: That really makes sense.

Big Joe: He's probably very nervous about tonight.

Princess Erika: Like I said before, you all have NO IDEA on how nervous he's been about this whole thing!!!!!!  He still has a lot of self doubt about himself, but then again, I'm the same about myself too.  However Cam is always inspiring me to follow my dreams the same way he's following his, but of course for some reason we always feel the need to be perfect when it's just not possible.

Big Joe: Well said!!!!  Also, it's normal to feel that way, but if I know him well, I have a feeling he'll be just fine!!!!

Princess Erika: That's how I feel.

Big Joe: Well, I've gotta meet up with the Brass Ensemble, you girls have a good night, and a Merry Christmas.

Princess Erika: THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU AS WELL!!!!!

Carla: What a VERY NICE man!!!!

Princess Erika: He is!!!!!!  He’s been nothing but a good friend and mentor to Cam.  ESPECIALLY when it comes to trains!!!!  In fact Cam knows so much about trains partly because of Joe.

Wendy: WOW, THAT’S SO WONDERFUL TO HEAR!!!!!

Princess Erika: It is.  Sadly things weren't the same when he retired from the train at Disneyland in our world.  Working on the train conflicted with his schedule as a tuba teacher, so he quit working on the train to dedicate more of his time teaching tuba.  Needless to say it was a very sad day for both the Disneyland Railroad and for Cam.  In fact here's a video of Big Joe putting the train away at Disneyland for the last time................

Princess Erika then gets her cell phone out of her jacket pocket, opens up her Youtube App, and shows the rest of the girls of Big Joe putting the train away at Disneyland for the last time.

Princess Erika: Because this was the last time he ever put the train away in our world, he blew the whistle EXTRA LOUD, and it sounded AMAZING!!!!
And if you're wondering, that's Cam's friends Will & Scott chanting for Joe along with Cam and I while he was putting the train away for the last time.  I know it was a little corny, but hey, we had to!!!! LOL!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzb-MIs8qR0

Chelia: WOW!!!!  THAT DOES SOUND AMAZING!!!!

Wendy: IT SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Carla: It actually sounds A LOT like Cam's whistle blowing when he blows it here!!!!

Princess Erika: Where do you think Cam got his whistle blowing technique from? *Giggles*

Wendy: Come to think about, it does SOUND A LOT like how Cam blows it, so I can see and hear the similarities. *Giggles*

Soon Princess Erika’s parents show up!!!!

Mr. & Mrs. Von Ludwig: Good evening everyone!!!!!

Princess Erika: Hey Mom, Hey Dad!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: HEY SWEETIE!!!!!

Princess Erika gives both of her parents a hug and a kiss before they sit down.

Mrs. Von Ludwig: How was the Nutcracker Sweetie???!!!!

Princess Erika: It was wonderful!!!!  Thank you for asking!!!!!  By the way, you remember Princess Wendy, Princess Chelia, Carla, Manaka, Ayumi, Miuna, Nina, and Sayu???!!!

Mr. Von Ludwig: YES OF COURSE!!!!!!

Wendy: HEY MR. & MRS. VON LUDWIG!!!!!!

Chelia: IT’S WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: AND IT’S WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU GIRLS!!!!!


Mrs. Von Ludwig: Now Erika, I wonder where your brothers are?..................

Herbie: BEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

Herbie drives up right through the large doors, up the aisle, and stops just in front of the altar.  He then rotates his rear axles, backs up, and parks just behind the Organ Console before Cam gets out dressed in his handsome Vitarelli suit, Red Vitarelli Dress Shirt, steam train tie, and fancy burgundy shoes.  However his suit is covered up by his black vested robe, and white vestment on top while wearing his beautiful red St. Benedict crucifix around his neck.

Cam: Thank you Herbie!!!!!

Cam then opens up the Organ console, and activates the organ’s blower motors when John the music director greets him warmly.

John: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING!!!!  We were worried you weren’t gonna make it!!!!

Cam: I was just doing last minute fine tuning.  I may not be perfect, but I’m decent enough to play Joy To The World at the end.

John: WONDERFUL!!!!!  We’re so glad to have you here tonight!!!!

Cam: Thank you, I’m so glad to be here tonight!!!!!

Cam then looks at his watch and sees that it’s 5:55 P.M.

Cam: WOW!!!!!  WE JUST MADE IT!!!! LOL!!!!

Princess Erika: *SIGHS OF RELIEF*  TALK ABOUT CUTTING IT KIND OF CLOSE!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: TYPICAL OF YOUR BROTHER TO TRY TO COME AT THE LAST SECOND!!!!!!!  

Wendy: DOES HE ALWAYS LEAVE THINGS TO THE LAST SECOND????!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: MY GOODNESS, HE IS NOTORIOUS FOR IT!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Carla: REALLY????!!!!!!!  DO TELL!!!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: Well………………………………..

Wendy: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  MY GOSH, THAT REALLY EXPLAINS A LOT!!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: It gets better Darling!!!!!

Mr. Von Ludwig: And if you think Camaro is bad????!!!!!  Trojan is even worse!!!!!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: OH MY GOSH, YES!!!!!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: I KNOW THAT ALL TOO WELL!!!!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: Cam has gotten better thanks to you Wendy, Darling!!!!!

Wendy: REALLY????!!!!!!  I’m glad I’ve been a good influence on him!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: More than you could possibly imagine!!!!!  You have been nothing but a GOD SENT!!!!!!

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK* AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!  YOU'RE REALLY TOO KIND!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: Again, what a very sweet, sophisticated, and well mannered young lady!!!! Smile

Mr. Von Ludwig: Now if only Troy would respond the same way.  Speaking of which where is he???!!!!

Princess Erika: He volunteered to altar serve!!!!! LOL!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: REALLY????!!!!!  That doesn’t sound like him!!!!

Princess Erika: Actually Cam more like volunteered him to altar serve.

Mrs. Von Ludwig: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  NOW THAT I CAN BELIEVE!!!!!!

Wendy: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  TROY CAN BE A MEANIE WHEN HE WANTS TO, SO IT’S ONLY RIGHT THAT HE GETS SOME PAY BACK!!!!!  LOL!!!!

Mr. Von Ludwig: YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD SWEETIE!!!!

Cam then pulls out a few Reed stops on the Solo, Pedal, Great, Choir, and Antiphonal Divisions, couples a few stops for the Trumpet En Chamades for all 5 organs, takes a deep breath before setting to work on performing the Prelude Fan Fare for Adeste Fideles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUkkKsefJ-A&list=OLAK5uy_kJr8QTRjItV7D1KC531NjXdsyAXXafvFU

He starts with the Great Division before moving his hands to the Manual (Keyboard) controlling the Antiphonal Division (Second one from the top) and blasts the heck out of the Trumpet En-Chamades, while also playing the Manual (Keyboard) Controlling the Great Division (Second one from the Bottom), and everyone is just carried away by the music.

Wendy: WOW!!!!!  IT SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!

Princess Erika: I know, and Cam isn't used to playing Christmas music, so this is a huge step for him!!!!

Music echoes out of the Sister Fratelli Ruffatti/Willis Transept Organs, the Walcker/Tamburini East Chancel and Asps Organ, the Walker Digital Nave Organ, and Giant Casavant Freres Lee/Cavaille Coll Organ in the West Gallery, and completely carries everyone away.

Chelia: OH MY GOSH, THIS IS SO WONDERFUL!!!!

Wendy: I KNOW, RIGHT?!!!!!

Princess Erika: It may sound amazing, Cam is no doubt trying SO HARD not to have a panic attack given how nervous he is about tonight!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: A LOT is being asked of him to fill in at the last second!!!!

Princess Erika: I know!!!!  And Cam had to master a piece, which normally takes YEARS, all in a matter of WEEKS!!!!  So, yeah..........he's way out of his comfort zone.  But I told him, he'll be just fine and that we have his back no matter what!!!

Wendy: Of course!!!

Carla: We don't expect him to be perfect!!!  In fact no one's perfect, so he really shouldn't worry!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: A LOT easier said than done, especially given that he's on the Autistic Spectrum, which for him magnifies the situation and really takes things to heart.

Princess Erika: Yeah, but I know he'll be just fine in the end. Smile

Wendy: Me too!!! Smile

Soon the entire Cathedral is almost maxed out at a WHOOPING 8,997 people as John the music director stands up at the podium located in the East Chancel as Cam wraps up the Fanfare Prelude to Adeste Fideles, and brings it to a close.

John: Good evening everyone!!!!!

Everyone then goes silent, and responds.

Everyone: GOOD EVENING!!!!

John: Welcome to Notre Dame De Royal!!!!!  Tonight is Christmas Eve and the 5th week of Advent.  Before we begin our mass, please deactivate your cell phones and mobile devices, or put them on silent.  For the safety and comfort of others, be careful if you need to leave for some reason, since we have a VERY FULL Cathedral.
Now please turn to page 2 of your music Guide and join our AMAZING choir in singing O Come All Ye Faithful, Adeste Fideles by David Willcocks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAzz76Uu46c&t=6295s
(Video for Mass starts at 42:10 and goes to 1 hour 44 minutes, and is a template for how the mass is in this story, but it's a full Cathedral in the story compared to the empty one in the video. LOL)

John gives the signal, and the Royal Army's Brass Quintet along with Big Joe on his tuba start playing the entrance Fanfare.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KObcwbvV9XU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1wHyMR_SCA
(Is played with the Brass Ensemble of one video and Organ playing technique of the other)

Princess Erika, Wendy, & Chelia: OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!!!!

Chelia & Wendy: THIS SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!

Princess Erika: WAIT FOR IT!!!!

Then Cam comes in out of nowhere on the pipe organ opening up the Great Division as the majestic pipe organ exalts itself in a thunderous roar with its wind-chests wide open.

Princess Erika: THAT'S MY BROTHER!!!!

Wendy: OF COURSE!!!! *GIGGLES*

The orchestra, piano, guitar, and kettle drums all follow Cam's, Big Joe's, the Brass Band's, and the Quintet's lead, and begin playing along too.

Wendy: OH WOW!!!!!

Chelia: THIS SOUNDS SO WONDERFUL!!!!

The choir director then gives his signal, and the entire choir begins to sing as Troy leads the procession into the Cathedral building waving the brass incense thermal (burner).

Choir:
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
O come and behold Him, born the King of Angels

O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord


As Troy leads the procession up the altar, EVERYONE in the reserved seating area at the front can’t help but notice Troy glaring at both Princess Erika and Cam.

Troy: (OH YOU 2 SOOOOOOO OWE ME FOR THIS!!!!!!) -_-

Cam, Wendy, Princess Erika, Carla, Chelia, and Mr. and Mrs. Von Ludwig, can’t help but snicker when they see Troy looking all pissed off.

Choir:
God of God, light of light
Lo He abhors not the virgin’s womb
Very God, begotten, not created

O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

As Father Christopher and Bishop Robert take a bow at the alter, Cam pulls out more stops on the organ, adds more reeds from the great division, and couples the antiphonal, swell, and choir divisions to the great division before opening up the wind chest of the organ a little more.
As Cam makes the organ play louder, the orchestra, kettle drummers, guitarists, pianist, royal army’s quintet, and brass ensemble play louder too, and the choir also sings louder.

Choir:
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest;

O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

As Troy douses the altar and Nativity set up near by in the North Transept with incense, while Father Christopher, and Bishop Robert make their way to their chairs, Cam pulls out more and more stops on the organ’s great division.  He then opens up the organ’s wind chest even more, pulls out stops from the organ’s trumpet en chamade divisions, and REALLY goes all out as the orchestra, kettle drummers, pianist, guitarists, brass ensemble, and Royal Army’s quintet take a short break, for none of them are able to keep up with Cam and the organ.  Everyone hears the amazing sounds of the organ coming from both the Sister Transept Fratelli Ruffatti/Willis Organs in both the North & South Transepts, the Giant Casavant Freres Ltee./Cavaille Coll Organ located under the Rose Window up in the West Gallery, the Choir Tamburini/Walcker Organ located all around the very front of the East Chancel, and the Central Walker Digital Organ located all along the entire length of the nave.
Troy rolls his eyes as he hears Cam going all out with the Trumpet-En-Chamades while making his way to his chair.

Troy: UUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!  SHOW OFF!!!!!

Once Troy’s back at his chair with the priests, Cam slowly returns the organ back to the hymn’s original melody, and Orchestra, Brass Ensemble, along with everyone else resume, and play along side.
With the sanctuary now full of music, everybody in the entire cathedral joins in and sings the remainder of the hymn.

Everybody:
Ye, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to thee be all glory giv'n;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;

O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him
CHRIST THE LORD!!!!!!

Everyone stops singing, as the music stops.
Father Christopher and Bishop Robert stand up at the altar and begin the mass.

Father Christopher: IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!!  

Everybody: AMEN!!!!

Bishop Robert: The Grace and the peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
The love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit,
Be with you always!!!!

Everybody: AND WITH THY SPIRIT!!!!

Father Christopher: GOOD EVENING!!!!

Everybody: GOOD EVENING FATHER!!!!!

Bishop Robert: Tonight, Father Christopher and I would like to welcome you to Notre Dame De Royal, whether you’re a local, or a tourist from out of town.  And we’d like to thank you for coming here to celebrate the holiest night of the year on this 5th week of Advent!!!!

Father Christopher: This is the first time in the City of Grand Bay Lake’s history that we are finally celebrating the night of the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ!!!!!

Bishop Robert: And we couldn’t be any more blessed to have you join us in celebrating the birth of Our Lord on this beautiful night!!!!

Father Christopher: My brothers and sisters, let us prepare ourselves to celebrate this liturgy, by calling to mind our sins, and asking God's Mercy to be upon us.

Bishop Robert: You were sent to heal the Contrite Of Heart; Lord Have Mercy upon us

Everybody: Lord Have Mercy upon us

Bishop Robert: You came to call all sinners; Christ Have Mercy upon us

Everybody: Christ Have Mercy upon us

Bishop Robert: You are seated at the right hand of the father to intercede for us; Lord Have Mercy upon us

Everybody: Lord Have Mercy upon us

Bishop Robert: May All Mighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to life everlasting..........

Everybody: Amen!!!!

Cam then opens up the stops on the Great, Swell, Antiphonal, and Choir Divisions as he begins playing the Coventry Gloria by Peter Jones before the Brass ensemble follows.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEtFctozNwI

Cam: Gloria, In Excelsis Deo
Etin-tera tera pax

Chior: Gloria, In Excelsis Deo
Etin-tera tera pax

Cam: Lord God, Heavenly King

Choir: O God Almighty Father
Gloria, In Excelsis Deo
Etin-tera tera pax

Canter: We praise thee, we bless thee

Choir: In Excelsis Deo

Canter: We worship and Adore thee

Chior: In Excelsis Deo

Canter: We glorify thee,
we give thee thanks for thy great glory

Everybody: Gloria, In Excelsis Deo
Etin-tera tera pax

Canter: Lord Jesus Christ
Only begotten son
Lord God, Lamb Of God
Son Of The Father
You take away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us

Choir: Have mercy on us

Canter: You are seated at the right hand of the father
Receive Our Prayer

Choir: Receive Our Prayer

Cam: Gloria, In Excelsis Deo
Etin-tera tera pax

Everybody: Gloria, In Excelsis Deo
Etin-tera tera pax

Canter: For you alone are the holy one
You alone are the lord
You alone are the most high JESUS CHRIST

Choir: With the Holy Spirit

Cam then pulls out multiple stops on the organ's solo division, and begins blasting the heck out of the Trumpet En Chamades.

Choir: In the Glory Of God

Cam then blasts more of the trumpet En Chamades from also the Antiphonal and Great Division, and this REALLY makes Troy jealous.

Troy: (ALRIGHT, QUIT SHOWING OFF CAM!!!)

Choir: The Glory Of God the Father

Everybody: Gloria, In Excelsis Deo
Etin-tera tera pax

Choir: Amen!!!!!!!!

Everybody: Amen!!!!

And with that, both Father Christopher and Bishop Robert begin the mass.
During the mass everyone hears the story of how A star leads Joseph, and the Virgin Mary to Bethlehem, and how they try to find a place for the Virgin Mary to conceive her child, Jesus, but having no luck for no Inn has a vacancy.
As the Proclamation before the Gospel approaches, Troy picks up the incense thermal, opens it up, and adds more incense before proceeding towards the altar.  Cam opens up a few stops for the reeds and principles on the organ's Great and Swell Divisions and plays softly as Troy douses the altar with incense.

Princess Erika: This REALLY gives me goosebumps every time!!!!

Wendy: I can see why!!!  It's giving me goose bumps too!!!!

Chelia: The hair on my neck is standing hearing this!!!

Princess Erika: This you can MOST DEFINITELY tell is something Cam is used to and knows well!!! *Giggles*

Cam pulls out a few stops for the Trumpet En Chamades, couples them to the organ's Solo, Choir, and Antiphonal Division before blasting the heck out of the trumpets as he begins playing the Festival Alleluia by James Chepponis.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDZRuGXUmm0

Cam: ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA.........
ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Choir: ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA.........
ALLELULIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!!!!!!!!!!

Father Christopher holds the large book as Bishop Robert proceeds to the giant podium to preside the Gospel.

Canter: Your word is a lamp for my feet...........
AND YOUR WORD LIGHTS MY PATH!!!!!!!

Everybody: ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA..............
ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!!!!!!!!!!

Canter: Shine like lights in the world
HOLD ONTO THE WORD OF LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everybody: ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA..............
ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!!!!!!!!!!

Choir: ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bishop Robert: THE LORD BE WITH YOU!!!!

Everybody: AND WITH YOUR SPIRIT!!!!

Bishop Robert and Father Christopher then go on, explaining how Joseph finds an animal stable, where the Virgin Mary gives birth to her son, the Son Of God, The Lord Jesus Christ, and lays him in manger.
Everyone is COMPLETELY blown away by hearing the story of Christmas for no one, except for Cam’s family, had ever thought that Christmas had originated because of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ on that fateful night long ago.

Father Christopher: The celebration of Christmas contains so much beauty.  Beautiful scenes of the Nativity, our bright and cheerfully lit city, our gorgeous towering Christmas Trees, our festive and spectacular nighttime shows, our beautiful and historic steam trains, music that moves our hearts and souls as it is doing this beautiful night, delicious Christmas Treats that perhaps some of us have or are going to eat way too much of………..

Everybody: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  LOL!!!!!!

Father Christopher: The wonder and excitement of exchanging presents, the children’s anticipation of Santa’s arrival, inspirational scripture readings like those we have just heard of people walking in darkness, and finally seeing a bright light.

Herbie shines beautiful golden LED colors from his hood mounted fog lamp, and onto a beautiful giant gold LED star hanging from the rafters high above the cathedral's altar.

Father Christopher: Speaking of which a great light is shining right now.  
Thanks for that by the way.

Herbie: Beep, Beep!

Father Christopher: And this bright light is a beacon in the story about the divine child born to a young mother around 12-13 years of age, full of grace, and love.  Peace on earth to people of good will.
But it was not always this way because the story before Christmas was anything but beautiful.
Before Christmas humanity was in a lot of pain and turmoil.  Humanity was turning against others, and even against themselves causing tremendous hurt and destruction.
Everyone’s sinfulness was overpowering over goodness.
God’s beloved human race was in dire need of redemption and salvation.
Therefor in a beautiful act of unconditional love, God incarnated himself as flesh and blood in the person known as Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Through this incarnation of flesh and blood, God’s son Jesus Christ, was sharing common ground with humanity.
Sacrificing his own life, and then victorious over sin and Death, God’s humanity could finally be redeemed and restored back to its original goodness.
Jesus the son of the Virgin Mary, shares the common ground of our human race in order to lead us out of the darkness, and back to our common ground with one another.
This was also VERY true of our Magic Kingdom.  Before the spirit of Christmas, outside of the city of Grand Bay Lake, humanity was at war with its self!!!!  People were being cut throat and were only out for themselves.  People were turning on others and showing no respect for life, or the opinions and feelings of others.
Conflicts and war raged over the Magic Kingdom, differences in classes have clashed because of discrimination, innocent civilians oblivious to the law in the Town Of Beginnings were killed by people with no respect for human life.  Nantes Abbey was destroyed by a horrible fire because of common grounds in humanity being shattered.  The respect for the dignity of human life had eroded.
The goodness is that out of this darkness, a light has shown, and this light is what guided the Virgin Mary and her betrothed Joseph to safely deliver our Lord Jesus Christ, and give birth the spirit of Christmas.
Christmas allows us to reintroduce ourselves to find our common ground with one another.  Christmas, regardless of how challenging it maybe invites us to think about people of whom we don’t get along with.  Someone who we are angry with, someone we don’t even like, or someone who really gets on our nerves real easily like Kalvin.

Everybody: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING* LMAO!!!!!

Bishop Robert: Or Whistle Boy or the Wizard, HAAAA, HAAAAAA, HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Everybody: *LAUGHS EVEN HARDER* LMAO!!!!!!

Father Christopher: Sorry, I couldn’t help it!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Bishop Robert: Neither could I!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Everybody: *CONTINUES LAUGHING* LMAO!!!!!!

Father Christopher: To get back to what I was saying now………

Everyone then quiets down.

Father Christopher: Christmas is a time to think about people who have frustrated us and still are as well as those who are hurting us.  To think about those of whom we hold in contempt inside of our hearts.  Who are those people, besides the ones we’ve just mentioned?

Everybody: *Laughs* LOL!!!!!

Father Christopher: Now here comes the really hard part.  What do we have in common with those people?  
We all laugh laughs, we all cry tears, we all get angry, we all hurt inside, and we are all afraid of the unknown whether it be what’s to happen in the future, or something else we do not quite understand.
Maybe its possible that one of those people who have hurt us are hurting deep inside as much if not worse than we are.  Maybe they too are afraid of what’s to come because of uncertainty.
Like us, they probably have hopes and dreams of a better future.
Jesus took on the common ground of humanity and felt the same joy and pain as the rest of us in order to help us rediscover our common ground as humans.
With all the magic, and wonders of the holiday season, and all the beauty that surrounds it; think about it.  Christmas and the rest of the Holidays during the Holiday Season are only beautiful if we truly share that common ground with one another.
And for the first time in Magic Kingdom’s History, we are finally able to share that common ground once again thanks to the spirit of Christmas.
You see this light shining here; FOLLOW IT!!!!  It too will help you find that common ground with one another once again.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

After Father Christopher ends his sermon, the ENTIRE Cathedral is in a huge uproar round of applause, for what he said could not have been anymore true.

Bishop Robert: My brothers & sisters; let us now profess our faith…………………..

After everyone professes their faith, and prays for those in need of help, Cam opens up a few of the stops for the Trumpet En-Chamade sections on the great, antiphonal, and solo divisions of the organ, and once again leads the music as everyone else joins in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlBbjQzCpuk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U09sY6FK6TY
(Played using the brass ensemble of one video and the organ playing technique of both)

Choir:
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King:
peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
join the triumph of the skies;
with th'angelic hosts proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"

Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King"

Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come,
offspring of the Virgin's womb:
veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail th'incarnate Deity,
pleased with us for man to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel.

Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King"

And now everybody joins in singing as Cam pulls out more stops on the great division of the organ, and couples the choir, swell, solo, and Antiphonal divisions to the great.  This causes Music to come pouring out of the Fratelli Ruffatti/Willis Sister Organs in the North & South Transepts, the Tamburini/Walcker Organ in the East Chancel, the Giant Casavant Freres Ltee./Cavaille Coll Organ in the West Gallery, and Walker Digital Organ in the Nave.  At the same time the Guitarists, Pianist, Kettle Drummers, Orchestra, Brass Band, and Royal Quintet all step up their game and REALLY fill the Cathedral with beautiful music as well as the choir!! Head Trumpet player Scott plays the iconic Soprano section for the third verse.

Everybody:
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
risen with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that we no more may die,
born to raise us from the earth,
born to give a second birth.

HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING,
"GLORY TO THE NEW BORN KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As Troy douses the altar with more incense, Cam wraps up the hymn on the organ’s great division before ending with the beautiful sounds of the Trumpet En-Chamades.

Troy: Okay, quit showing off Camaro!!!!! -_-

Wendy: That was so beautiful!!!!!

Princess Erika: That is Cam's and my favorite carol!!!!

Chelia: That was so awesome!!!!

Bishop Robert: Pray now my brothers and sisters that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God Our Almighty Father!

Everybody: May the lord accept this sacrifice at thy hands, for the praise and glory of his name.  For our good and good of all his holy church!

After the cannon and communion of the mass are carried out, Cam pulled out a few of the stops on the organ's swell and antiphonal divisions before gently playing as the rest of the musicians follow him in the First Noel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2EwkSm5sCg&t=20s

Choir:
The first Noel the angel did say
was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
in fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
on a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star
shining in the east, beyond them far;
and to the earth it gave great light,
and so it continued both day and night.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the King of Israel.

And by the light of that same star
three Wise Men came from country far;
to seek for a king was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the King of Israel.

Cam continues to play gently on the organ to allow the orchestra and Brass Band the chance to fill up the cathedral with music as everybody joins in singing.  However as the music gets louder, Cam changes his mind and decides to pull out the stops on the Great and Antiphonal Divisions as well as opening up the wind chests even more, and this really causes the space to fill up with music as everybody sings.

Everybody:
This star drew nigh to the northwest,
o'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
and there it did both stop and stay,
right over the place where Jesus lay.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the King of Israel.

The music then comes to a close as Father Christopher and Bishop Robert call for the final prayer and blessing.

Father Christopher: Let us pray…………

After the final prayer and Father Christopher, and Bishop Robert take the time to thank everyone in the Cathedral.

Father Christopher: Before we all go, I would like to thank each and everyone of you for coming tonight on Christmas Eve in celebrating the spirit of Christmas here for the VERY FIRST TIME in the Magic Kingdom’s history.  So whether you are a local who lives in Grand Bay Lake, a tourist from out of town far away, or watching our live stream from home, a hospital, or at your job whether it be on the train, on the monorail, on the helicopter, on the boat, at the hotels, restaurants, and casinos, or for one of the nighttime shows, thank you so much for joining us, we are really truly honored to have you.
We are also very honored to have the royal family with us!!!!  We’d personally like to thank, Her Royal Highness Princess Erika of the Underwater Castaway Sapphire Bay Kingdom, Her Royal Highness Princess Chelia Blendy, Her Royal Highness Princess Wendy Marvell, and Their Royal Guardians Carla and Manaka, as well as the rest of the Royal family and Royal Council.  Thank you so much for joining us tonight, and we’re really truly honored to have you.  God bless you all!!!!

Bishop Robert: But before you start clapping I would like to give a special thank you to our altar server, His Royal Highness, The Royal Knight Sir Troy Von Ludwig.
I would also like to thank everyone here for our music starting with John our wonderful music director, our tuba player, my dear friend and coworker from the Grand Bay Lake Railroad, Joseph Jackson, our amazing pianist, our wonderful guitarists, our kettle drummists, our amazing orchestra, our wonderful brass ensemble, the Royal Army’s spectacular Quintet, and most of all our new Amazing Organist, His Royal Highness King Camaro Von Ludwig.
I’d like to give him an extra thank you for stepping in for our organist David who’s out of town until after the New Year, so we are beyond grateful to have Cam fill in for him in helping us bring music to our wonderful Cathedral.

Father Christopher: So far they are all doing an amazing job so give them a big round of applause.

Father Robert: But first let’s give an extra thank you for Her Royal Highness Princess Erika, His Royal Highness Sir Troy Von Ludwig, and His Royal Highness King Camaro Von Ludwig for bringing the spirit of Christmas to the Magic Kingdom, and making this Mass possible, so we can finally share with you the true story behind Christmas.

The entire Cathedral bursts out into an roar round of applause to share their appreciation for those who have worked hard to make Christmas Eve mass not only possible, but for also making it better than originally expected as well as finally bringing the spirit of the Holiday Season to Grand Bay Lake.

Father Christopher: ALRIGHT NOW, THE LORD BE WITH YOU!!!!!

Everybody: AND WITH THY SPIRIT!!!!!!!

Father Christopher: MAY THE BLESSING OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT COME DOWN ON YOU TONIGHT, AND REMAIN WITH YOU FOREVER!!!!!

Everybody: AMEN!!!!

Bishop Robert: THE MASS HAS ENDED, GO YOU ARE DISMISSED, AND GO IN PIECE TO GLORIFY THE LORD BY YOUR LIFE!!!!!

Everybody: THANKS BE TO GOD!!!!!

John: We invite you to join us in singing our last hymn, which is on page 7 of your music guide; Joy To The World by Dan Marvin and Joseph Wilcox Jenkins.

At long last it is time for Cam to overcome his final obstacle, and that is the final hymn Joy To The World.

Cam: Okay, let’s do this thing!!!!

Cam gets in position, pulls out a few stops of the Reed and Trumpet En-Chamade sections of the solo, great, and antiphonal division before he remembers why he is playing the organ for Christmas Eve mass in the first place.

Cam: (Play using your heart and not your head.  Play for why you are playing, and not what for.  Play because you love it, and not because you’re obligated.  You can do this!!!!!  Just let the music guide you, and your hands and feet will just follow along.)

Cam inhales one more time before he begins playing on the organ’s great division.  He is soon joined by the Royal Army’s Quintet.  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4PGjA7r7Ow&t=140s

The Quintet’s main trumpet player takes the lead as Cam follows along lightly tapping the keys of the Organ’s swell and antiphonal divisions before the Quintet’s main trumpet player passes the lead role back to Cam.  Cam then pulls out more stops on the Great division, puts his hand’s back on the great division’s manual (Keyboard), opens up the organ’s wind chest, and follows his heart as he plays.
But a problem occurs, and thankfully it’s not Cam’s fault.

John: HEY, YOU GUYS MISSED YOUR Q!!!!

OOPS!!!!!  The choir, and all the other musicians get distracted, and miss their Q making Cam play all the music himself on the organ.  This causes him to get nervous at first, but he realizes that he hasn’t made any errors, and the fault is on the choir and other musicians for not catching on.
Thankfully the Royal Army’s Quintet rejoins Cam and plays along side to make things less awkward before Cam hands the lead roll back to the main trumpet player of the Quintet.
After the Quintet takes the lead roll, Cam takes the Q to restart the first verse of the hymn, and this time the brass band hits their mark right on target for the second attempt followed by the orchestra, guitarists, pianist, and the choir along with other musicians and join in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFUi9ObQK9I

Choir:
Joy to the world! The Lord is come
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing

Cam opens up more stops on the Great Division and both the organ and brass ensemble take turns in playing the lead rolls of the hymn before Troy, Bishop Robert, and Father Christopher leave their chairs, and make their way back to the altar.

Choir:
Joy to the world! The Savior reigns
Let all their songs employ
The fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

Cam opens up more stops on the organ’s great division, whether it be via the large stop knobs on the sides of the console, the piston couplings by the manuals, or the stop knobs down by the tone range pedals and pedal board.
And while he’s at it, he couples the solo, Antiphonal, Swell, and Choir divisions all to the Great really making the organ sing.
However Big Joe on the tuba along with the entire brass ensemble manage to keep up, and REALLY manage to fill the Cathedral with music as everybody joins in singing.

Everybody:
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove (And makes the nations prove)
And wonders of His love
And glories of His righteousness

The Brass ensemble and orchestra blast with all their might along with all the other musicians.
Unfortunately no one in the general public can follow along with the music since the final verse is not in the music guide given that Joseph Wilcox Jenkins's version is VERY different from how Joy To The World is normally performed, but they don’t mind.  

Choir:
He rules the world with truth and grace
And wonders of His love

As the choir continues singing, Cam pulls out more stop on the organ, and soon none of the other musicians can keep up with him.  His heart gets completely carried away as he plays harder and faster and is soon doing fancy foot work on the pedal board as if he were to play a Toccata.

Choir:
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
With wonders of His love
His righteous love
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
With wonders of His love
His righteous love

Cam pulls out more and more stops until EVERY Last stop on the organ is pulled out, all wind chests on the organ are completely wide open causing all the music coming out of the pipes in the Sister Transept Frattelli Ruffatti Organs, the Trumpet En-Chamades, the Giant Gallery Casavant Freres Ltee. Organ, the East Chancel Choir Tamburini Organ, and Nave Walker Digital Organ, all echo in sync with the music coming out of the choir.

Choir:
JOY TO THE WORLD
JOY TO THE WORLD
JOY TO THE WORLD

Cam hammers down all the keys on the Organ’s great and pedal division while everyone in the choir sing with all their might as the Orchestra, and Wind Ensemble are finally able to bring the hymn to a close as the organ continues to echo throughout the sanctuary until it ciphers.

Choir:
THE LORD...........
IIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSS......................
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After taking his hands and feet off the keys Cam is huffing and puffing really hard.  He then realizes, but doesn’t believe that he had finally conquered his final obstacle.
Joy To The World was now at long last out of the way for good.
Cam had finally managed to pull off and master Joy To The World in such a short time and when he needed to the most.

Cam: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT…………I…………I PULLED IT OFF!!!!!!!!!  MY GOD, I FINALLY PULLED IT OFF!!!!!!!!

The entire Cathedral is in an uproar round of applause, but no one is cheering louder or harder than Princesses Erika and Wendy.

Princess Erika: WAY TO GO CAM!!!!!!!  I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!!!!!

Wendy: WOW!!!!!!  CAM YOU WERE AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: THAT’S MY BROTHER!!!!

Wendy: AND MY BEST FRIEND!!!!!

Cam: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!

Princesses Erika and Wendy run up to Cam and give him a big hug from behind.

Princess Erika: CAM YOU WERE AWESOME!!!!!

Wendy: YOU WERE AMAZING!!!!!  NEVER HAVE I HEARD MUSIC SOUND SO BEAUTIFUL IN ALL OF MY LIFE!!!!!

Princess Erika: I AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOU CAM!!!!

Wendy: SO AM I!!!!!

Cam: I'm just glad the final obstacle is now out of the way, but there's just one more thing I gotta do!!!!

Feeling thrilled after overcoming a huge obstacle, Cam reopens the Reed and Trumpet En-Chamades in the Solo, Antiphonal, and Great Division, and begins playing the Postlude for Joy To The World, Bishop Robert, and Father Christopher walk down the aisle of the Cathedral.

Troy: OKAY I ADMIT IT!!!!!  YOU DID AWESOME ON THAT LAST ONE CAMARO!!!!!

Bishop Robert: THANK YOU SO MUCH CAM, YOU WERE AMAZING!!!!!!

Father Christopher: WOW, WHAT AN AMAZING JOB!!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Cam soon wraps the song with all the manuals (keyboards) Coupled to the Great Division (Second Keyboard from the bottom), and all stops pulled out before ending it with the beautiful Reeds and Trumpets of the Chamade section on the solo, Antiphonal, and Great Divisions.

Cam: BOO & YA!!!!!!!!  I’VE DONE IT, I CAN’T BELIEVE IT, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT!!!!!
Just, don’t ask me to do it again!!!! LOL!!!!!

Chapter 23

         Eternal Vow Of Friendship


After overcoming so many obstacles, set backs, agony, frustration, and even emotional insecurities, the night of Christmas day had finally come.
EVERYONE is outside busy playing in the snow, going for sleigh rides, enjoying delicious feasts at the various upscale restaurants, riding the steam trains, taking helicopter flights over the beautiful city, taking cruises aboard the steamboats over beautiful Sapphire Bay, going up Grand Bay Lake Tower, taking the Grand Bay Lake Eye to the highest point, riding the new California Screamin Roller Coaster in Paradise Bay, enjoying the sweets at the various bakeries, or just outside enjoying the beautiful spirit of the holiday season.
Cam, Troy, Princess Erika, Mr. & Mrs. Von Ludwig, Wendy, Chelia, Carla, Ayumi, Nina, Manaka, Miuna, and Sayu all wait anxiously at Main Street Station’s platform for a certain train.
A unanimous decision was made to designate Grand Bay Lake Railroad’s locomotive Number #1 the C.K. Holliday along with her Holiday II Red freight train consist, a Magic Kingdom historic landmark, after completing so many monumental occasions in such a short time.

Johnny 5: ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!!
OUR KING CAMARO, CAM’S ROYAL KNIGHT AND OUR ROYAL DUKE SIR TROY, OUR ROYAL PRINCESSES ERIKA VON LUDWIG, CHELIA BLENDY, AND WENDY MARVELL WOULD ALL LIKE A FEW WORDS IF YOU MAY!!!!

Troy: Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls:
We would like to personally thank all of you who have helped us make bringing the holiday spirit here possible!!!!

Princess Erika: We are eternally grateful to all of you!!!!

Cam: However there was one detail that was overlooked, and that we’d like to bring to light with all of you.
Ya see, while were all working hard in bringing the Magic of the Holiday Season here, a certain hardworking and special steam locomotive was left under appreciated.

Then out of nowhere a familiar steam whistle is heard as she gives one VERY LONG blast followed by one short blast with a……………….…………..

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOO!!!!

As the Beautifully decorated C.K. Holliday Number #1 locomotive and her equally beautifully decorated Holiday II Red Freight Train consist come steaming around the final bend into Main Street Station.

Cam: Her name is C.K. Holliday!!!!  Named in honor of the original founder and Chief Engineer of the Magic Kingdom’s VERY FIRST railroad line, Cyrus Kurts Holliday.
She’s a 5/8th scale 4-4-0 American Class locomotive that was built in 1955 by the Mandez Locomotive & Machine Works here in the Magic Kingdom.
Designed by famous Mechanic and Imagineer Roger E. Broggie, and beautifully hand painted by famous Artist Ward Kimball, this little engine was only a mere concept and idea of King Arthur and Sir Lancelot when they first settled here back in 1871.
However, due to lack of resources, the construction of the railroad did not occur until 1953, and was completed in 1955.
Both King Arthur and Sir Lancelot wanted a classic looking steam locomotive to circle the parameter of their soon to be new city of Grand Bay Lake, and to keep costs down, Imagineer and Mechanic Roger E. Broggie designed this beautiful narrow gauge 5/8th scale 4-4-0 American locomotive and matching train set of what appeared to be a replica of an old 1870s narrow gauge freight train.
After rolling out of the Mandez Locomotive & Machine Works, and onto the newly built railroad line in June of 1955, this locomotive that you see here was the VERY first locomotive to ever run on the original track of the original loop here in Grand Bay Lake.
2 and a half weeks later after the locomotive’s completion, the matching train set was coupled onto her making the Holiday II Red Freight Train consist the VERY FIRST train to ever run on the original loop of the Grand Bay Lake Railroad.
Although over the decades, this locomotive and train set have both been overhauled and rebuilt several times over, they have been nothing but reliable as they have hauled MILLIONS of people around the Magical City.
This particular engine is a crew favorite due to her forgiving personality, easy operation and maintaining, as well as her overall outstanding performance, and just by the way she looks of a classic example of a fine American steam locomotive.
Following C.K. Holliday’s completion the demand to expand the railroad’s fleet became apparent, and although more locomotives and cars were added to the roster, Old C.K. Holliday has been kept in beautiful working order.
For this reason, she is the second oldest surviving steam locomotive IN ALL of the Magic Kingdom after Locomotive Endeavour Number #2, which is on display in the Magic Kingdom History Museum near Metreon Center.  C.K. Holliday is also the OLDEST OPERATING steam locomotive in all of the Magic Kingdom, but it does not stop there.  She is the OLDEST WORKING MACHINE AND VEHICLE in the entire Magic Kingdom, followed closely by the Admiral Joe Flower Steamboat as a close second but it gets better!!!!!

Carla: Unfortunately I made the mistake of meddling during the middle of all the preparations for this wonderful celebration, by teleporting my way here from Tocoma.  Unfortunately because of the horrible snowstorm that struck here, the lacrima that allows the use of teleportation crystals, and warp magic was severly damaged.  This meant that I could teleport to Grand Bay Lake, but I could not teleport back to Tocoma to reunite with the girls.
Cam had to give me a ride back on this particular train.

Cam: And because of this unseen twist of fate, this locomotive is the VERY FIRST Grand Bay Lake Railroad locomotive to go all the way up North to Tocoma, and make it back.
You may ask, what about the C-19s Number #29 and Number #352???!!!!  They had to plow snow up to Tocoma to clear the tracks!!!!
The interesting thing is, those are not our locomotives.  They’re only on a long term loan, and we were given the responsibility of operating and maintaining them for a while.  And while they did have to go all the way up to Tocomo to plow snow off the tracks, they are not Grand Bay Lake Railroad engines!!!!
Therefor, this locomotive, the C.K. Holliday Number #1, is the VERY FIRST Grand Bay Lake Railroad locomotive to make a run all the way up to Tocoma, and back.

Troy: Not to mention during that day of Thursday December 7th, this locomotive worked harder than any others in the fleet!!!!!

Cam: She was the first engine fired up in the morning and first locomotive out on the line to make a run to Eatonville to get the supplies we needed.  By the time I had to take Carla back up to Tocoma, this engine had already made 3 runs to Eatonville.
It was either coincidence or sheer luck, that she’d be the last train out for evening, where as all the other trains had to go out of service to get decorated for the Holidays.
And because she was the last train still out, she was the only engine available to make the trip all the way up to Tocoma.
When we get back, all the other engines had their fires put out, and lost pressure.  However we still needed a train to haul the special for all the towns people involved in making all the preparations for the holiday celebration.  We had to do a test run and dress rehearsal of all the nighttime holiday spectaculars, and to get as many people from A to B as possible, we needed a train!!!
And with this one being our only engine out and under steam, we took her back stage to the roundhouse, cleaned her up, decorated her, coupled her up to her assigned passenger train set, the Holiday II Freight Consist, and brought her back out on the line.
Once we had most of the town’s people on board, had the locomotive and cars all lit up, and got under way to kick of the Holiday Season, little did we know that we were reaching another historic moment.
This locomotive and train set was the VERY FIRST train to kick off and run during the Magic Kingdom’s VERY FIRST Holiday celebration!!!!

Troy: And according to Cam and Jason, this locomotive was nothing but a real trooper.

Cam: Anything that could go wrong, did go wrong with the setting up for the holiday season, however not a single thing went wrong with Good Old C.K. Holliday.  Despite how hard she had to work, and how much was thrown at her, this little engine ran like a champ from when she left the roundhouse at 6:00 a.m. in the morning, all the way to when she was put away at 2:30 a.m. in the morning.

Everybody: WOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Cam: That is another record set on it’s own because this engine had worked more hours than any other locomotive in the Magic Kingdom over the course of literally a single working day.

Troy: Do the math and that is more than 20 & ONE HALF HOURS!!!!!!!!!!  YIKES!!!!!!!

Cam: Add the extra hour and a half she had to be steamed up in the morning, and extra 30 minutes to be shut down, then that is A WHOPPING 22 AND A HALF HOURS that this locomotive was pressurized under steam with a fire in its firebox!!!!!!

Troy: NO ONE can survive working THAT MANY HOURS in literally a single working day!!!!!

Cam: After looking up the railroad history for the Magic Kingdom, NO LOCOMOTIVE has worked NEARLY that many hours in a single day.
It gets better because she is also the VERY FIRST 4-4-0 American Class locomotive to arrive in Tocoma in over 100 years!!!!!!  Locomotive Interceptor Number #1 was the VERY FIRST locomotive of any sort to run to Tocoma back in 1870, and that was out of Elbe; LONG before the line between Grand Bay Lake and Elbe were connected.  Heck, Grand Bay Lake didn't even EXIST!!!!!!

Troy: It was still a BIG DEAL back then in 1870 since the Magic Kingdom may have well have been another planet, and as my brother Camaro stated, Grand Bay Lake hadn't even existed yet until a year later.  

Princess Erika: Sadly the Interceptor was scrapped in 1911 before her historical significance was realized.

Cam: So after setting so many historic milestones during it’s life time, and most of them being accomplished in a single day, it is with great pleasure that ALL OF US on the Magic Kingdom's Royal Counsel have unanimously decided to designate this locomotive and train set, A MAGIC KINGDOM HISTORIC LAND MARK!!!!!

Everybody: YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Troy: And we could not have chosen a better day to celebrate than on Christmas Day here in Grand Bay Lake.

Railroad Maintenance OEs Danny, Bruno, Rob, and Jim hand Cam a special bronze plague.

Cam: This plague will be hung up in the wall here at Main Street Station, and a brass 1:20.3 Scale model from LGB Made by Marklin and Aster of this locomotive and train set will be on display in a glass case right below a beautiful oil painting of the Original Locomotive Interceptor Number #1 in the Magic Kingdom’s History Museum!!!!
So without further ado, we proudly Designate the C.K. Holliday Number #1 and her Holiday II Train Consist, A MAGIC KINGDOM HISTORIC LAND MARK, as she proudly carries the Original Interceptor’s Legacy, and the visions of King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Roger E. Broggie, and Ward Kimball.

Cam picks up a large champagne bottle and smashes it on the side of C.K. Holliday’s flag pole as workmen take the beautiful plague designating the train a historic land mark, and bolt it to the wall inside the station.

Cam: And because we have designated this locomotive and train set A MAGIC KINGDOM HISTORIC LAND MARK, this locomotive and train set can NEVER be retired, altered, OR scrapped!!!!!  They can ONLY go out of service for general maintenance or complete top to bottom rebuilds!!!!!!

Chelia: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME EVERYONE!!!!!!

Wendy: WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!!

Princess Erika: AND WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY, IT IS TIME TO GO UNDER THE TOWN SQUARE CHRISTMAS TREE AND EXCHANGE PRESENTS!!!!!  

Everyone then sets to work on exchanging gifts.
Cam hands Chelia, Carla, and the rest of the girls their beautiful Christmas ornaments while Troy hands them gift cards, and Princess Erika hands them make up kits

Chelia: THANK YOU SO MUCH CAM, THESE ARE SO PRETTY!!!!!

Ayumi: PRINCESS ERIKA THIS IS PERFECT!!!!!

Carla: OH DEAR, IF THE GIRLS WEREN’T BIG ENOUGH HANDFULS ALREADY; THEY’RE GONNA BE SHOPPING TILL THEY DROP NOW NO THANKS TO YOU!!!!!

Cam: And you say I’m a little too spend thrift Troy????!!!!!!!!!!  LOL!!!!!!

Troy: Hey it’s the holidays, we can afford to be a little generous during this time of the year!!!!!

Cam: True!!!

Cam hands Wendy her gift.

Wendy: Thanks Cam, it’s a beautiful bird ornament!!!!!  What kind of bird is it???!!!!!

Cam then brought out his matching Turtledove.

Cam:  These birds are Turtledoves.  They’re a symbol of love and friendship.  I have my own, and now you have your own.  And as long as we have them in our possession at all times, our friendship cannot be broken, no matter what happens.
This means as long as we hold onto our Turtle Doves, there’s no way our friendship will ever end.  We’ll always be best friends, forever.

Wendy’s eyes soon fill with tears, and she soon breaks down crying before she wraps her arms around Cam, and Cam hugs her back………………..

Wendy: Of all the presents, this one means the most to me!!!!!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH CAM!!!!!!
I only feel bad I have nothing for you!!!!!

Cam: Hey, that is not true.  You have given me the greatest gift anyone could ever ask for and that is your friendship.

Wendy: I feel the same way!!!!!  You have given me so much that I don’t know how to thank you………………

Cam: You’re a sweet, wonderful, and beautiful girl Wendy.  I am beyond blessed to have you as my best friend, and I mean that.

Wendy: Our friendship means the world to me and I promise that there is no way I’m breaking it off!!!!

Cam: Neither will I!!!!!!

Wendy attempts to wrap her arms around Cam to hug him, but it doesn’t work that way.

Wendy: AHHHHHH!!!!

Because of her clumsiness, Wendy accidentally slips and kisses Cam right on the lips causing Cam’s eyes to completely dilate out of shock.  Whether this truly was an accident is still yet to be determined. LOL!!!!!  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msUShf3B3Hk

All Girls: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Mr. Von Ludwig: WOAH!!!!!!  I didn’t think either had it in them!!!!!!

Not all the girls support the lip lock because it causes both Carla and Princess Erika to REALLY fly off the handle without warning, as well as Princess Erika getting jealous.

Carla & Princess Erika: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEENDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -_-

Princess Erika: YOU BACK AWAY FROM MY BROTHER PRINCESS WENDY MARVELL!!!!!

Carla: WENDY MARVELL, YOU ARE FAR TOO YOUNG TO BE DOING SUCH A THING LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

Luckily, it all happens under the mistletoe, but it isn’t long until Wendy realizes what she’s doing, and pulls away while blushing VERY brightly and getting VERY embarrassed.

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK, SCREAMS, & WAVES HANDS FRANTICALLY*   AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!  SORRY CAM, I DON’T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME!!!!!!!!!!!  I DIDN’T MEAN IT!!!!!  IT WAS COMPLETELY AN ACCIDENT, I SWEAR!!!!!!!!!  PLEASE DON'T BE MAD!!!!!!

Cam then looks up, sees that he and Wendy were under the mistletoe, and then he laughs it off.

Cam: *BLUSHES DARK RED* Well we were under the mistletoe, and it’s bad luck not to kiss the person you’re with when under the mistletoe, so we really had no choice!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHTER PINK* Yeah……………..that’s right……………….. I’m okay with that!!!!!!  (It may have been an accident, but it was a wonderful accident!!!!)*Giggles*

Princess Erika: YOU ARE SO LUCKY PRINCESS MACKENZIE IS NOT HERE TO SEE THAT!!!!!!  SHE WOULD BE SOOOOOOOOOO PISSED AT BOTH OF YOU!!!!!!!

Carla: CHILD, YOU DO THAT ONE MORE TIME AND YOU ARE GROUNDED YOUNG LADY!!!!!!  

Princess Erika: AND CAM, YOU DO THAT AGAIN AND I WILL PIN YOU DOWN AND FART ON YOU!!!!!!!

Cam: UH-OH!!!!!

Wendy: CARLA, IT’S NOT LIKE THAT!!!!!!  I SWEAR!!!!!!!! (IT IS actually!!!)

Cam: YEAH, IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT!!!!!! (Or was it really???  I don't know!!!!!)

Carla: IT HAD BETTER BE!!!!!!!

Princess Erika: DON’T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN!!!!!

Cam & Wendy: WE WON’T, WE PROMISE!!!!!!

Wendy: (But it’s not like I don’t want it to happen again!!!) *GIGGLES*

Cam: (Got more of a Christmas gift than I’d thought I’d get!!!) LOL!!!!

Wendy wraps her arms around Cam and the 2 share another hug when……………

Robert: NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! GET AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

John Goss: ROBERT, I’LL GET YOU!!!!!!!

Big Joe: GET BACK HERE RODRIGUEZ!!!!!!!!!

Cam: OH NO, NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

Wendy: Not a boring moment with those guys!!!!!  *Giggles*

John Goss and Big Joe chase Robert ALL OVER Town Square until they back him into a small corner of an alley way.

Robert: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!  GET AWAY!!!!!

John Goss: I’M GONNA GET YOU ROBERT!!!!!  I’M GONNA GETCHA!!!!!!

Big Joe: THERE’S ONE GUY WHO’S MAKING ME MAD AND THAT GUY’S NAME IS RODRIGUEZ!!!!!

Robert: GET AWAY!!!!!!!

Big Joe: HERE COMES THE TUBA!!!!!!!!

Big Joe shoves the bell of his tuba over Robert’s head with a big and VERY LOUD……………….

BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robert: OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Joe: HOW TO PLAY A TUBA, MY TUBA RODRIGUEZ!!!!!!!  I SWEAR, YOU CAN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD TUNE FROM A FART WHEN IT HITS YOU!!!!!!  I MEAN THIS, HOW TO PLAY THE TUBA, BOOK IS A BIG INSULT YOU OOGWAY!!!!!!!

John Goss then goes groping Robert left and right.

Robert: OOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW, OWWWWWWWWWWWWW, OOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!  GET AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Goss: SHOULDN’T HAVE GIVEN ME THE MUSHROOMS COOK BOOK!!!!!!!!!!

Big Joe: UH-OH!!!!!!!  I CAN FEEL IT, IT’S MAKING IT’S WAY THROUGH THE BOWELS NOW!!!!!!  AND IT’S A BIG ONE, IT’S A BIG ONE!!!!!  HERE IT COMES, HERE IT COMES!!!!!!!  FIRE THIS ONE IN THE HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then out of nowhere, the sound like that of the Titanic’s whistle echoes throughout ALL of Main Street as the ground shakes violently, and John Goss and Robert come flying out of the alley way before they both end up landing in banks of snow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRbfcvWfkZQ

Troy: THAT SOUNDED A LOT LIKE THE TITANIC!!!!!!  I THOUGHT IT SUNK OVER 100 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!

Johnny 5: Maybe it was the HMHS Britannic Replica that’s docked further down by Paradise Bay!!!!!

John Goss: THAT WAS NOT THE HMHS BRITANNIC!!!!!  *COUGHS*  OH GOD, OH JESUS, JOE???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Cam: JUST GREAT, NOW THE “PUMBAA TUBA” STRIKES AGAIN!!!!

Big Joe: SORRY ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!

John Goss: SERIOUSLY, I’M GONNA FEEL THAT INTO NEXT WEEK!!!!!

Robert: ONCE AGAIN, I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GLAD I AM WEARING THIS TUBA!!!!!!!!!!

John Goss: SERIOUSLY, YOU ARE BEYOND LUCKY TO HAVE YOUR HEAD STUCK IN HIS BUTTOCKS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

Big Joe comes walking out the alley way and makes his way over to Robert.

Big Joe: HEY, YOU GIVE ME BACK MY TUBA!!!!!!!

Joe tugs his Tuba off of Robert’s head and gives one mighty tug.

Robert: OOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Big Joe manages to successfully pull the tuba off of Robert’s head.

Robert: GLAD THAT STUPID THING IS OFF OF ME!!!!!!

Big Joe: BUT LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY TUBA AFTER I GOT IT FIXED UP!!!!!!

Big Joe then stomps his way back to Main Street Station’s break room all pissed off now that his Tuba is ruined as John Goss and Robert get out of the snow and follow behind.

Big Joe: I CAN’T BELIEVE I ALWAYS WASTE A PERFECTLY GOOD MUSICAL INSTRUMENT ON YOU RODRIGUEZ!!!!!!  NOW I’M GONNA NEED TO GET THIS THING FIXED YET AGAIN, YOU BIG OOMFUFU HEAD!!!!!!

Robert: YOU’RE THE ONE WHO SLAMMED IT ON MY HEAD IN THE FIRST PLACE JOE!!!!

Big Joe: SHUT UP YOU!!!!

All of Town Square busts out laughing once again.

Cam: OOOOOOH MY GOD!!!!!  THOSE GUYS MAY BE THE DEATH OF ME!!!!!!!  LOL!!!!!

Wendy: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  NEVER A BORING MOMENT WITH THOSE GUYS!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Carla: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  THEY ARE JUST TOO MUCH!!!! LOL!!!!!!!

Chelia: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  THEY SURE KNOW HOW TO MAKE US LAUGH!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!

Cam: And they’re not even making you laugh on purpose!!!!  It’s all by accident!!!!

Big Joe: WHAT THE???!!!!!  GET AWAY!!!!!

The sound of chairs wrestling is heard coming out of the break room as John Goss comes walking out.

John Goss: WELL, I GOT THROWN OUT OF THE BREAK ROOM!!!!

Cam: I wonder what happened in the break room this time????!!!!!

John Goss: I was playing with…………….

Big Joe: NONE OF YO BUSINESS ON WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BREAK ROOM!!!!!!

Troy: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  PUTTING ON A SHOW WHETHER THEY WANT TO OR NOT!!!! LOL!!!!!

Princess Erika: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  THEY ARE JUST TOO MUCH!!!! LOL!!!!!!!

Cam: AND WHY DO YOU THINK THE PAINT IS COMING OFF INSIDE OF THE LOCOMOTIVE CABS?????!!!!!!

Johnny 5: By the way Princess Wendy………..

Wendy: Yes????!!!!

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP!!!!

Herbie opens his hood, and tosses a box to Wendy.

Johnny 5: Herbie and I got you a little something!!!!

Wendy: AWWWWWW, THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU GUYS!!!!

Wendy opens the box, and low and behold it’s the VERY SAME bracelet Cam wanted to buy her when he was in Vegas.

Wendy: OH MY GOSH!!!!  THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Cam: HOW DID YOU GUYS GET AHOLD OF THAT FOR UNDER 8 GRAND????!!!!

Wendy: WHAT?????!!!!!!!  

Johnny 5: Herbie and I just kept up our winning streak in gambling!!!!!

Wendy: YOU DIDN’T DRAIN ANOTHER CASINO DID YOU???!!!!!

Cam: Would it kill you guys to lose a game or 2????!!!!!

Johnny 5: Sorry, but losing is not in our vocabulary!!!!!

Herbie: BEEP, BEEP!!!!!

Wendy: THANK YOU SO MUCH, BUT PLEASE STOP DRAINING THE CASINOS!!!!!

Johnny 5: We’ll do our best!!!!

Cam: I heard that before!!!!  The problem is Johnny 5 has a computer for a brain, and will both calculate and predict his opponents before they have a chance when it comes to gambling.  ESPECIALLY in a game of cards or roulette.

Wendy: AWWWWWWWWW MAN!!!!  I feel so guilty with you giving me this!!!!

Cam: The funny thing is, I almost bought you that in my world, but Princess Erika talked me out of it partly because of the high price tag.
However, given that Johnny 5 and Herbie won the money from so much gambling, there’s really nothing we can do about it now unfortunately.

Wendy: Just please don’t do that again you guys!!!!!

Mike from the train crew walks up to Cam and his friends with a very familiar drink in his hands.

Mike: Hey Man, this isn’t coffee!!!!

Mike pours out some of the so called coffee right in front of Cam, Troy, and all the girls, and EVERYBODY gets a good wif of it.

Cam: MIKE, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?????!!!!!

Wendy: WOAH, WHAT IS THAT STUFF????!!!!!!!!

Carla: MY GOODNESS, THAT DOES NOT SMELL LIKE COFFEE!!!!!

Troy: THAT'S BECAUSE IT ISN'T!!!!!

Mike: I got it from Story Teller’s Café at the Grand Californian!!!!

Cam: DON’T DRINK THEIR COFFEE, IT’S TERRIBLE!!!!

Mike: NO IT’S NOT!!!!

Wendy: SERIOUSLY, WHAT IS THAT STUFF????!!!!!

Mike: IT’S COFFEE, DUH!!!!!

Cam has a better smell and instantly knows what it is.

Cam: LONG ISLAND ICED TEA, ARE YOU OUT OF YOU FUCKING MIND?????!!!!!!!!

Mike: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING* NO I’M NOT!!!!!!

Troy: I KNEW THAT'S WHAT IT WAS!!!!!!!!!

Cam: SERIOUSLY MIKE, YOU CAN’T BE CARRYING STRONG ALCOHOL AROUND, ESPECIALLY IN FRONT OF GIRLS WHO ARE MINORS!!!!!!

Mike: WAIT, ALL THE GIRLS ARE MINORS????!!!!!!

Cam: YES THEY ARE, INCLUDING CARLA WHO IS STILL ONLY 16!!!!!!

Carla: AND THAT STUFF SMELLS RATHER REPULSIVE TOO!!!!!  NEVER HAVE I SMELLED SUCH A STRONG DRINK BEFORE!!!!  UGH!!!!!!

Cam: It’s full of more booze than you could imagine!!!!!

Troy: And will get you more drunk than a bad artist writing a depressing song!!!!!

Cam: Like Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man!!!!

Troy: SERIOUSLY, they must have been drunk out of their minds when they wrote that song!!!

Mike: YEP!!!!!

Cam: You better not have been drinking on the job Mike!!!!

Mike: NO MAN, IT’S MY DAY OFF!!!!!

Cam: Thank God for that!!!!  There have been too many cases of the train crews coming to work drunk in the 50s-80s, and we don’t need a repeat of that!!!!

Mike: Whatever, I’m off!!!!!

Cam: I just hope he doesn’t get too drunk again!!!!

Johnny 5 and Herbie look at the time and realize they have to get ready for the nighttime shows.

Johnny 5: UH-OH!!!!  It’s already after 6!!!!!  We must get going Herbie!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEP, BEEEEEP!!!!!

Herbie opens his glove box, tosses out his item storage gun, rolls over it, and shrinks Johnny 5 down to human size before Johnny 5 collects the item storage gun and hops in.

Johnny 5: Well, Herbie and I have our curtain call, so you guys have a Merry Christmas!!!!

Herbie: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

And Herbie takes off revving up his engine with…………….

VROOOOOOM, VROOOOOOOOOM, ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR, VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!

Wendy: Well, if they’re heading out, why don’t we??  Okay? *Giggles*

Cam: Sounds like a good plan!!!

Wendy: Yay!!!!

Troy: I’m with you on that!!!!

Princess Erika: So am I!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: Your father and I are still yet to see the shows, so let’s go see them!!!!!

Carla: Yes, we can’t let your parents leave tomorrow without seeing the shows!!!!

Chelia: Yeah, they’re SOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!  IT would be a shame!!!!

Princess Erika: Before the shows, we can go ice skating at the Rink on Paradise Bay, which is close to the viewing area!!!!  Wendy and Chelia, I got you girls beautiful Figure Skating Dresses which should fit you!!!!

Chelia: OH MY GOSH, THANK YOU SO MUCH ERIKA!!!!!

Wendy: Uhhhhhhh, I'm not so sure about this!!!!

Chelia: COME ON WENDY, IT WILL BE FUN!!!!

Carla: Oh dear, this I gotta see!!!!

Chelia: COME ON WENDY, LET'S GO CHANGE INTO THESE CUTE OUTFITS!!!!

Wendy: BUT CHELIA????!!!!!

And like that Chelia grabs Wendy's hand and the 2 run into a near by bathroom to change.
After a good 10-15 minutes, Chelia exits the bathroom in her beautiful new Purple Figure skating dress with Pink flowers on it.

Chelia: OH WOW!!!!  THIS OUTFIT IS SO CUTE!!!!!  AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE ERIKA!!!!!

Princess Erika: OF COURSE, I'M GLAD YOU LIKE YOURS!!!!!

Wendy wouldn't come out though; she was far too embarrassed to move.

Chelia: COME ON WENDY, WE HAVE TO GO!!!!  

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHT PINK* I CAN'T, IT'S TOO EMBARRASSING!!!!!

Chelia: COME ON WENDY!!!!  IF YOU DON'T COME OUT, WE WON'T HAVE TIME TO TRY ICE SKATING!!!!

Wendy: YOU GO, I DON'T MIND MISSING OUT!!!!!

Chelia: COME ON WENDY, WE CAN'T WASTE ANYMORE TIME!!!!

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHTER PINK* I CAN'T!!!!!!

Princess Erika: Wendy, I'm sure you look very cute, so don't be ashamed!!!!

Chelia: YEAH, YOUR OUTFIT IS REALLY CUTE, AND MUST LOOK ADORABLE ON YOU!!!!!

Wendy: EASY FOR YOU TO SAY CHELIA!!!!!  YOU DON'T HAVE A FLAT CHEST LIKE I DO!!!!!

Chelia: COME ON WENDY!!!!!

Chelia grabs Wendy by the hand and drags her out the bathroom, and everyone is stunned to see Wendy in her brand new beautiful Green figure skating dress with beautiful Red flowers on it.

All Girls: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!  HOW ADORABLE!!!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: SO PRECIOUS!!!!!!

Cam's eyes widen as his jaw literally hits the ground.  This however causes Wendy to blush even more and get even more embarrassed.

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHTER PINK* OH MY GOSH, I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER BEEN SO EMBARRASSED IN ALL MY LIFE!!!!!

Chelia: WENDY, THERE'S NOTHING TO BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT!!!!!

Princess Erika: YEAH, THAT OUTFIT LOOKS REALLY CUTE ON YOU!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: You look so very precious darling!!!!

Ayumi: YEAH, YOU LOOK SO ADORABLE!!!!!!

Poor Wendy could not stop blushing.  Even with the compliments, she was still embarrassed to be wearing her new figure skating dress.

Wendy: *BLUSHES BRIGHTER PINK* OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING!!!!!

Cam however blushes and nosebleeds out of nowhere given that he's unable to take his eyes off of Wendy.

Cam: *BLUSHSE DARK RED & NOSE BLEEDS* UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!  OH NO, NOT THIS AGAIN!!!!!

Cam soon feels light headed, and nearly faints as he falls back and hits the ground.
Seeing this causes Wendy to forget how embarrassed she is, and she immediately rushes to Cam's side.

Wendy: CAM, ARE YOU OKAY????!!!!!!  SAY SOMETHING!!!!!!  

Wendy soon sits down on the ground and gently lays Cam's head in her lap.

Wendy: CAM, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING!!!!

Cam soon opens his eyes and regains consciousness.

Cam: UGH, I hate it when that happens!!!!

Wendy: DON'T YOU SCARE ME LIKE THAT SILLY!!!!

Troy: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING* TYPICAL CAMARO!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Princess Erika: *GIGGLES* I WAS HOPING THIS WOULD HAPPEN!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Cam: Sorry I worried you.  This darn nose bleeding habit of mine is just getting old!!!!

As Cam gets up, Wendy hugs him from behind.

Wendy: Hey, don't push yourself too much Cam!!!  You still have me worried.

Cam: I'm sorry for worrying you..........however I will say that both my mom, Erika, and Chelia are right because your new outfit really does look beautiful on you, and I mean that.

This causes Wendy to blush even more before she gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Wendy: Thank you so much Cam!!!!  You are always so sweet.

Cam then gets back on his feet and holds out his hand.

Cam: Let’s go!!!!

Wendy: RIGHT!!!!

Wendy then grabs Cam's hand and holds it tightly hers.
Everyone then makes their way up the stair case into Main Street station when Ward Kimball Number #5 comes steaming around the final bend blowing her whistle with a………………..

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOO!!!!!

Cam: And perfect timing!!!!!

Ward Kimball Number #5 steams into Main Street Station with her whistle blowing, bell ringing, firebox roaring and drumming, Westinghouse air compressor huffing and puffing, headlamp shining, cylinder drain cocks hissing, rod bearings knocking, low pressure safety valve popping off, fire glowing, and beautiful brass, copper, and paint work gleaming with the beautifully decorated Holiday IV Green Train Consist and Lilly Belle Parlor Car in tow.

Eric Heffernan: WELL HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!!

Ward Kimball Number #5 soon comes to a slow and gentle stop before Conductors Justin and Ruben open the gates to the station platform and let everyone aboard.

Conductor Justin: Alright you guys, the front car is all yours!!!!!

Wendy: Thank you so much!!!!

Chelia: We really appreciate it!!!!!

Mr. Von Ludwig: Why do you guys close off the front car to most?

Nick: Hey guys do mind if I join you?

Cam: Of course, you, Scott, Greg, Natsha, Sef, Sam, and the rest of our good train friends are always welcome.

Scott: Got here just in time!!!!

Kalvin: HEY GUYS!!!!!

Cam: He’s the reason why………….

Everyone: MERRY CHRISTMAS KALVIN, AND GO HOME!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: Right, I forgot about that pest!!!!

Mr. Von Ludwig: Wasn’t there an old man who stalked you guys that stunk like a skunk?????!!!!!!!!

Scott: THAT IS THE WIZARD!!!!!!

Cam: And then there’s whistle Boy who brings his wooden toy whistle, and blows it LOUDLY every freakin time the train blows its whistle.
So we rope the front car off on our favorite train to reserve it for us and our friends in order to keep weirdoes like Kalvin, Whistle Boy, and the Wizard OUT and AWAY from us!!!!

Mr. & Mrs. Von Ludwig: *BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*  That makes complete sense!!!!!!

Uncle Walter: Mind if I join you guys!!!!

Cam: HEY UNCLE!!!!!

Troy: WE’RE SO GLAD YOU COULD JOIN US!!!!!

Auntie Leslie: Of course!!!  We only regret not coming to mass last night, but we had to make important last minute calls!!!!

Mr. Von Ludwig: We’re just glad you’re here!!!!!

Princess Erika: Aunt Corolado isn’t coming is she????!!!!!

Auntie Leslie: GOOD HEAVEN’S NO!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: After the way she treated you 3, she’s not welcome!!!!!

Cam: THANK GOD!!!!

All of our friends get on board as Eric walks up to Cam.

Eric Heffernan: Hey Cam, would you mind taking over while I go on break???!!!!

Cam: Of course!!!!

Eric Hefferna: I’ll catch you once you’re at Small World World Mall.

Cam: Alright, sounds good!!!!!
Well everyone, duty calls!!!!

As the most of our friends take their seats in the very front of the very first car behind the locomotive, Cam climbs up into the cab just as the conductors give the high sign.

Conductor Justin: ALL ABOARD!!!!!

Conductor Ruben: GLB 5, YOU HAVE A HIGHBALL!!!!!

Cam: COPY, HIGHBALL GBL 5!!!!!!

Jason: I’LL OPEN HER UP!!!!!

Cam: AWESOME!!!!!!!

Jason closes up his injector, opens up his firing valve, and rings the bell as Cam gives 2 blasts on the whistle, opens the cylinder drain cocks, eases the throttle open, and Ward Kimball Number #5 steams out of Main Street Station in clouds of smoke and steam.
After a good 30 minutes of ice skating followed by watching an amazing show of World Of Color Season Of Light, our friends make their way over to It’s A Small World Holiday Façade Mall where Eric Heffernan is waiting for Cam as Ward Kimball Number #5 slows down to a stop.

Eric Heffernan: Thanks Cam!!!!  I’ll take over for you now, you have fun with your friends and family for me okay??!!!

Cam: Thank you so very much Eric and Merry Christmas!!!!

Eric Heffernan: Merry Christmas to you too!!!!  Hey, why not invite ALL of your friends and family up for a picture!!!!!

Cam: On one condition, you and Jason have to be in the picture along with both conductors.

Eric Heffernan: Absolutely!!!!!

Luckily a maintenance technician is doing some last minute light bulb swapping when Eric Heffernan calls him.

Eric Heffernan: Hey Sir, would you be able to come up and take a picture of ALL Of US together!!!!

Maintenance Man: I’d Love To!!!!!

Cam: ALRIGHT EVERYONE, TIME FOR A CHRISTMAS PICTURE!!!!

Everyone: ALRIGHT!!!!!

Both Wendy and Princess Erika rush to Cam’s side with Princess Erika holding one of Cam’s hands, and Wendy holding the other with her other arm wrapped tightly around her Happy The Cat Plushy.
Everyone else soon makes their way up to the front of the locomotive with both Eric and Jason waving out the side of the cab ringing the bell and blowing the whistle when…………..

Maintenance Man: ALRIGHT EVERYONE, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!

Everyone then smiles brightly when the Maintenance man shoots multiple pictures of the whole group before handing Cam his phone back.

Maintenance Man: I sure hope all the pictures came out alright!!!!!

Cam looks at all the pictures, and sure enough, they all turned out perfectly. After being satisfied with the pictures, he texts them to all of his friends and family.

Cam: They’re perfect!!!!  Thank you so much!!!!

Maintenance Man: Of course!!!!  God Bless you all and have a Merry Christmas!!!!

Cam: Thank you so much, you too!!!!
Alright Everyone, let’s go!!!!!

Wendy: RIGHT!!!!  

Everyone makes their way to the viewing areas.  Troy throws a snowball at Princess Erika and lands a hit right on the back of her neck.

Princeess Erika: *FREAKS OUT AND SCREAMS* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!  TROY, YOU JERK!!!!!!!!  I WILL GET YOU FOR THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Princess Erika goes chasing after Troy and throws snowballs at him none stop.

Mrs. Von Ludwig: OH GEEZE!!!!

Mr. Von Ludwig: If it’s not one thing with those 2 it’s another!!!!!

Mrs. Von Ludwig: Good thing it’s not in Camaro’s personality to do that!!!!

Mr. Von Ludwig: Cam is the older twin, let’s not forget, so Troy sorta feels the need to tease Erika more given that he’s younger than Cam by 2 minutes.

Mrs. Von Ludwig: But there are times they can both be headaches!!!!!

Princess Erika: GET BACK HERE YOU JERK!!!!!  THAT SNOWBALL REALLY HURT!!!!!!

Wendy only holds Cam’s hand even tighter and lays her head on his shoulder now that Princess Erika is busy chasing Troy with snowballs.

Wendy: Cam, I cannot thank you enough for this.  You have given me, Carla, Chelia, and the rest of the girls, so much that I don’t know where to start.  But the greatest thing you’d ever given me was your friendship and that’s really all that matters to me.

Cam: I feel the same way.  The greatest gift all, is having you as wonderful and amazing best friend who always has my back no matter what.

Wendy: Of course!!!!!  No matter what happens, I will always support you and be there for you as best as I can!!!!

Wendy then gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Wendy: Thank you so much, for everything……………..it means more to me than you will ever know, and you will always be very special to me.

Cam: And you will always be very special to me too Princess.

Carla: You have become special to all of us Cam.

Chelia: You, Troy, and Princess Erika mean the world to us.

Ayumi: We all love you more than you could imagine.

Nina: You’ve gone above and beyond for us, and there’s no way we could ever thank you enough.

Manaka: You, Troy, and Princess Erika have been nothing but wonderful, and I couldn’t be any prouder to know we have such wonderful friends from another world who would go out of their way just for us.

Miuna: We hope none of you ever change!!!!

Sayu: And we hope that no matter what happens, we’ll always be friends forever.

Troy: We wouldn’t have it any other way!!!!

Princess Erika: Of course, we’ll always be friends forever!!!!

Wendy: Till Death Do us part right???!!!!

Cam: I can’t think of any other reason otherwise!!!!!!

The Real Magic and True Spirit of the Holiday Season is love, spending time with those you love and care about the most, and treasuring every last moment you have with them.
Yes fancy holiday decorations, gorgeous Christmas Lights, Majestic Christmas Trees that tower buildings, Beautiful Steam Trains that take us to visit our families far away, the delicious feasts, the anticipation of Santa Claus coming to town, making giant snowmen, playing in the snow, Christmas Eve Mass, and of course exchanging presents come to mind, but it’s really all about love.  Most of what you see is a big façade that is heavily capitalized for the sake of big corporations making the big bucks, and the anticipation of getting more stuff.  Yes it happened because of the Birth Of Jesus, but the birth of Jesus happened because of God’s love for humanity, and that’s the reason Cam, Troy, and Princess Erika brought the holiday season to Grand Bay Lake.  To show their best and closest friends who live in another world, how much they really love and care about them.
They wanted to show their friends the magic and wonders of the holiday season.  To show their friends Wendy, Carla, Chelia, Ayumi, Nina, Manaka, Miuna, Sayu, and many others how much they really loved and cared about them.
Friends can be just as important to us as our family, and to many extents, our friends practically do become family to us, so it’s just as important that we also show our friends our love and appreciation for them during the holiday season, as we do our family.
And that’s what Cam, Troy, and Erika Von Ludwig did.  Now let’s rejoin our friends and watch the Believe In Holiday Magic Fireworks Spectacular with them one last time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFDIDxmeCJw

Cam: Can you remember
How Christmas makes you feel
That special magic in the air
And all your dreams were real
Can you remember
The smell of ginger bread
Candy canes and sugar plums
That dance inside your head

Everybody: Remember when the twinkling stars at night
Told you reindeer were in flight
And jolly Santa Claus was on his way

Cam, Troy, & Princess Erika: The warmth of candle glow

Wendy: A kiss of mistletoe!!!!!!

Wendy gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek before laying her head back down on his shoulder as Cam gently holds her hand close to his heart.

Cam: The magic lives and we believe………….

Everybody: It's in our hearts to STAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Music:
Remember the caring
A season worth sharing
Believe in the magic in our lives

Everyone: Just open up your heart
And relive the feeling
Just remember the magic
Yes, remember the magic
One more time!!!!!

Mr. & Mrs. Von Ludwig: Hey Erika, Sweetie?????!!!!!

Princess Erika: Yes???!!!!!

Troy: Cam, along with Mom, Dad, and I all thought that it’s time for you to take on more responsibility so…………………

Troy opens up his item storage gun and hands the item storage gun to the parents, and Mr. and Mrs. Von Ludwig select Princess Erika’s present and hand her a beautiful baby 2 month old Beagle.

Princess Erika: WHAT????!!!!!! OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!!!!!!

Princess Erika then wraps her arms around both of her parents as well as Cam and Troy as she breaks down in tears before holding her new puppy.

Princess Erika: THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!

Cam: Her name is Milly, and she’s VERY SWEET!!!!!

Troy: Cam and I couldn’t stop playing with her when we first got her!!!!!

Mr. & Mrs. Von Ludwig: We will help with the cleaning up after her, but you will be responsible for feeding her, and walking her.

Cam: Troy and I were about your age when you became a part of our family.

Troy: And mom and Dad told us that it was time for us to take responsibility by having us take care of you.

Cam: And so we feel that you're at the right age to receive the puppy you've always wanted.

Princess Erika: Of course; I wouldn’t have it any other way!!!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!  COME ON EVERYBODY, SAY HELLO TO MILLY, MY NEW PUPPY!!!!

Wendy & Chelia: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

Carla: KEEP THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!

Wendy: There’s no need to be scared Carla!!!!

Chelia: Yeah, she’s REALLY sweet!!!!

Carla: I DON’T CARE!!!!  THAT THING IS A DOG, DOGS EAT CATS, AND I AM PART CAT IF YOU’VE FORGOTTEN!!!!

Princess Erika: Not with this one!!!!  Come on, say hello to Carla!!!!

Milly: Woof, Woof!!!!

Princess Erika gently holds Milly close to Carla, and Milly gently licks Carla’s face.

Carla: *Giggles* STOP, THAT TICKLES!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Carla then has a better look at Milly, and realizes how beautiful and sweet she really is.

Carla: Awwwwww!!!!  I guess maybe not all dogs can be bad.

Cam: You’d be surprised how many dogs and cats live together in the same household and become good friends.

Princess Erika: YES, it happens A LOT more than you’d think!!!!

Troy: Saying that dogs eat cats is a VERY common misconception, and is not entirely true.  In fact dogs and cats can easily be best friends when raised together at a young age.  Also you’re mostly human Carla, so you’ve got nothing to worry about.

Carla: I think you’re right, and she is really cute!!!!  I guess I don’t have a reason to be afraid.
But that still doesn’t mean we’re getting one!!!!  I still don’t feel comfortable with us having one in the castle just yet.  

Chelia: Awwwwwwwwww!!!! ☹ Fair enough though……………….

Princess Erika: You are so beautiful Milly!!!!!

Milly: Woof!!!!

Milly then continues licking Princess Erika!!!!

Princess Erika: YOU ARE JUST THE CUTEST THING!!!!!!

Everyone: Treasure it again

Cam: Remember……………….

Everyone: It never has to end…………….

Wendy & Chelia: Joys of sharing…………..

Everyone: Remember the magic in our lives

Troy & Princess Erika: Remember the magic…………

Everyone: Just open up your heart
Embrace all those feelings
Just remember the meaning

Train Crew: Remember

Everyone: Yes, remember the feeling

Johnny 5: REMEMBER…………..

Herbie: BEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEP……………….

Everyone: For all time
FOR ALL TIME!!!!!!

Cam and Wendy hook their pinkies and once again state their eternal vow of friendship.

Cam & Wendy: We solemnly promise to always be best friends. No matter how far apart we are, no matter how bad we fight, no matter how bad things get, no matter who we marry, and no matter where we go. We solemnly promise to always be best friends, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for rich or for poor until death do us part. We will always be best friends forever until the very end.

Cam and Wendy then wrap their arms around each other as Eric Heffernan gives 2 mighty blasts on Ward Kimball Number #5’s whistle with a……………………………………

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

As she steams through the It’s A Small World Holiday Façade.

Eric Heffernan: No matter who you are, where you are, what religion you are, what nationality you are, what race you are, where you come from, or what you celebrate, HAPPY HOLIDAYS ONE AND ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!!!!

Cam & Wendy: Cherish the holidays forever, and ALWAYS BELIEVE!!!!

Wendy gives Cam a gentle kiss on the cheek as Cam holds her hand close to his heart, and Ward Kimball Number #5 steams on through the It’s A Small World Holiday Façade as the finale of fireworks shoot high into the air lighting up the night sky.


The End………..

This Christmas Side Story is Canon to the Main Saga of The Magical Game Of No Return, while at the same time, it's also the rightful sequel to A Happily Ever After Christmas from 2016, so you can say that it's Canon to both sagas in someways. Smile
