"RUBY!" I yell. "Stop doing that. I'm the one that is supposed to pop out of shadows!"

I just grin and pick up the camera, exaimining the picture.
I snatch the camera Ruby is holding and look at it. "This is a horrible picture. And why did you take it?"
I shrugged and said, "Fun, ever heard of it?"
"Geez, Ariel has some grip." I say, rubbing my shoulder. "You are despicable. Vileness." I say. I cross my arms and turn my head in discuss. "And mean!" I pout. "Yes. I've heard of fun. But that was not fun!"
"I do have fun...." I mutter. "I took Charon's boat for a joyride once...."
I rolled my eyes and turned to Mae, "So, we need to find something we lost..."
"Your happiness." it dawned on me. "You two lost what was suppose to be happy." I say. "We... we found it." My jaw drops at my own ah-ha.
"Are you serious? My sister is in danger, and you're here wanting to look for my happiness?"
Maj. well find your sister don't worry; and i think Mae's right. happiness is actually something we have all lost happiness. i seriously don't remember the last time i smiled. i think my jaw muscles are actually paralised.
"'Be sure to choose before it's late. Retrieve what has been lost.' Choose whether or not to take the time to get what has been lost. Sense we are were it all started, we can retrieve what has been lost. We are in Disney Land were most of our sorrows started. That makes all of the sense! Zaynah, what made you sadness when you were here?" I ask, on a roll.
umm.hmm. let see. LOSING DANIEL!
Thats whats been lost. my hapiness is just part of it!
"Whoa, there. I mean where did it start when you were in Disney Land before? Don't worry, we WILL get to Daniel. But the best we can do for him is figure this out step by step." I say, calmly.
I take a deep breath. I'm over reacting maybe a little. Perfectly acceptable but still.....
Ummm..... I'm do t remember. Probably when I was younger

"Ok. My memories of Disney Land are happy so I'm not apart of this. So we have to go find that Carnival game, have Zaynah play it and win. Then we have to make Maj and Ruby happy with something they would've done." I explain. "Where was the game?"
I gasp and say, "Hey! I might know it! Come on back over here." I lead them to a game a little way away. "Is this it?"
"Hey..." I say, looking around at the scenery. I smile to myself. "Later." I mutter. "This looking familiar, Zaynah?"
yeah. yeah it does. me an daniel played with when we were younger.i spent 3 tokens on it and lost. but there were people to serve. the theme park is absolutely deserted.
i just had to catch the rubber duck on the hook.
i pick up a long stand with a pointy hook and try in vain to catch the swimming ducks. finally the hook catches onto a small loop on the ducks head. the minute the duck is touched however the duck, small and toyish opens its mouth and breaths fire.
with i yelp i leap back startled "ok, last time i checked by rubber ducky wasnt a fire breathing dragon"

(ok sry , i deleted mine)
(i never understood that sign ruby?? what is it?)
(oh, it is a sideways emoticon with letters of a person with their eyes shut and laughing... the X is the eyes and the D the mouth, sort of like :D but XD, ya know?)
(Here ya go.)
"Oh! Ha ha ha! Prank one! I saw like 10 people freak out when they caught one of these." I say, laughing at the thought. "Hey, the stage!" I say, seeing an old abandoned stage near by. I jumped up on it and found an old microphone. I tapped it, testing it. It worked. Then there was a flash of memory. Zaynah was over by the duchk thing with a friend. Ruby was in the corner twirling her fingers that seemed to have sparks coming out of them. Maj was running around with a younger girl, smiling at her. "This is where we met. This little area. Zaynah, you were doing the ducks. Maj, you were playing with your sister! And Ruby, you were over there practicing your spark fingers. Remember!?!?" I see their faces rise in realization. They all nod in shock and silence.

((OH MY GOD I JUST REALSIED. DUUUH!!!))
((OH MY GOD I JUST REALSIED. DUUUH!!!))
Oh my god i just realised. duuh! we did. never noticed one another but we did!!!
I was suddenly overcome with a memory.I was about eight and my mom was scolding me. I had been distracted from my magic by one of the games and I got it all wrong. I almost sent a booth on fire, but my mom got it straightened out. She was very angry. "If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, Ruby!" She had said in my ear, invisible. "Concentrate! If you don't concentrate, you'll mess up EVERYTHING! Why can't you do anything RIGHT for a change?"
I have never gone to Disneyland since.
"You ok, Ruby? You look pale." I ask. She nodded and looked at me reassuringly. "OK. Do you guys remember any music playing? While you were having your moments?"
"Oh....yeah..." I said unhappily.
"Well..." I smile mischievously. I pick up the microphone and put it to my lips. I sang the same song I did that night. It sounded the exact same as it did then. I just did one verse, then opened my eyes to see their expressions. "That was me." I say, with a cheesy smile.
oh my god no way!!
that was you
that was you
I looked up at her, "Woah! Really?"
"wow. you have a real nice voice"s.
(omg you guy i just came back from a day of shopping in westfield...and i was fasting...now im in my bed eating dairy milk drinking cloudy lemonade answering your comments and watching eclipse..FINALLY!!!)

(Cool.)
"Thanks. Its just a hobby of mine." I say, blushing a little. "I remember the performers. They heard me singing in the crowd and called me up. They went out for lunch and let me take over. It was so fun! But, hey! We found the place where it all began! Yay!"

"ok lets go then."
a while later i turn to mae. "hey mae. do you ever miss your parents. i mean mine died when i was a baby i was told. never saw em or met em. but yiu had a mother and father figure in your life. how...how was it"

"Uh..." I was shocked at the question. "Warm. They were warm." I say simply. "Warm with love and care. They each had 1 thing that I missed the most about them. The one thing that just completed my life. I always had someone who gave me a band-aid when I fell. I always had someone to make me laugh. Loving people who cared." I explain. "And... yes. I miss them. A lot. I miss my dad's humor. His geeky-ness. His intelligence. He inspired me to read so much. I miss my mom's intuition. Her wisdom. And her voice. She taught me to sing. With a voice of honey, she had a way with the melody." I say, smiling at the memories. "But you always have a parent. Even if they are not related by blood. If they care about you, encourage you, keep you warm, then they are your parent." I say, looking at her straight in the eye.
"you know mae. i hate to to say it...really hate to say it but at times i envy you. the family you have. the love and appreciation and care you had in your life. i...i never had anyone in my life to give me that. my aunt and uncle. well they were always at work. they sent me to a boarding school where i met daniel...but the school was horrible. real bad. the kids were sweet but never ...well...like me. it was always only daniel. sometime when my aunt and uncle were too busy id go to sleep still hungry and he would climb through my window and wed have these midnight picnics on the roof or the manor...he saved me...in a way...hes the reason im here today sane and in one mind peace..and-" my voice cracks. ..."and i wasn't able to save him. ive let him down...and he never let ME down once.
all my life i hid my tears and emotions. my greatest weakness was my tears. i hated to cry. it would amek me angry...furious. i hated crying or any sign of weakness. that's why i always walk around with something to keep me occupied otherwise wy mind may go astray and ill remember. and i dont want to remember!"

"Zaynah, it'll be allright. We're going to find Daniel, and Kat, and we'll protect them." I say. I look at Mae. "Can we go now? Now that yall found your happiness back?"
I look up, unconfortably. "Well, how am I supposed to get mine back?"
"Thats not the question. The real question is what would've you done if your mom was average?" I say. "We need to re-create all of the memories that should've been happy."
yh but what are those memories that need to be reenacted

Before Mae can answer, a loud crack makes us turn. "We got to go." I say. "Now!"Before the others can ask what's going on a big manticore blocks our way to the exit.
"Run to the castle. We'll find some other way out there."
"Oh, no. We fight. If we run, he will follow and wreck this whole place!" I say, drawing my dagger. "You guys should run, I have a good idea to handle this. Run, to the castle. I'll meet you here in about and hour. If you find my corpse, finish the mission. What ever happens, complete the propheces. Now, go!" I shout. When they just stand there, I flick my wrist and concentrate. I giant wall formed by trees grew between them and me.
"Damn it." I turn. "OK, we fight. But there is no way I'm letting you deal with this on your own."As I reach behind my back, my quiver appears. "What?" I ask, when I notice their weird looks. "Just because I'm not Apollo's kid, doesn't mean I can't shoot."
