Missing my baby bro…but only a little. And don’t tell him I said that…
“Your dreams are always doable,” Marissa encouraged with a smile, “And honestly, if he left, that’s too bad for him. He won’t get to be successful with you when you blow up big.” She said, her smile getting bigger. Her heart definitely reached out to Jaymee after everything she’d just told her. There was just something about it all that made her want to do everything she could to help her with her dreams. “Have you asked anybody about singing here? I mean, agency scouts are around here constantly and someone could totally pick you up if they heard you sing.” She said with a shrug, leaning back in her seat and removing the spoon for the ice cream. Taking a bite, she ran her free hand through her long hair, and looked around at all the people.
Then, hearing what Jaymee said, she leaned forward towards her and whispered, “I already have.” She laughed and leaned back again. Marissa shook her head, “You don’t want to blend in, trust me. I couldn’t even imagine the glory of being all dressed up, having the kids follow you like you’re their hero or something. I mean, technically you are. They think you’re Tink and most of them look up to her.” As she talked, she scooped more ice cream but didn’t eat it all at once. “But that’s why they should have you walk with Peter! It would take some of the attention off of you and it would be totally amazing too!” Marissa said excitedly. “I’ve never understood why they don’t have more characters walk together. Granted I don’t know how hard the job is, but I’ve always thought it would make more sense.” She shrugged, laughing at herself being so excited.
“I’d like to think that.” Jaymee smiled at her friend. “I hope he gets to do everything he always wanted to do. He’s really talented. Voice of an angel really. It seems funny to hear a voice like his come out of him. I miss hearing it everday.” She added with a sad smile. “I’ve been thinking of maybe seeing if they need people to like perform in any of the restaurants or anything. I miss singing. I do it while skipping around the park while working but it’s not the same.”
“You have??? What was it like??? We should do it together sometime.” Jaymee excalimed, a smile lighting up her face. It’d been a dream of hers ever since she was a little girl to one day spend the night in the castle.
“It issss kinda fun.” Jaymee agreed. “And I do feel important at times. I love when the little girls dressed as Tink come up to me. I feel like I’m helping make a child’s dream come true or something.” She shrugged. “I think Peter normally walks with Wendy. Maybe one day I’ll see if I can walk with the two of them.”
Dropping her spoon in the pail, she leaned back holding her stomach. “I’m done. I can’t do it. I’ll explode.” She laughed.
You know, wearing a neon sign sounds kind of fun actually…
But nothing much, there was a new cub born today! So I’m doing really swell. And you?
Actually…it kind of does. May have to look into getting one haha.
Awww a new cub?? How cuteeee.
I’m good, just a little bit homesick but I’ll get over it I’m sure.

It’s been almost a year since I last saw my best friend. Broken childhood promises hurt more than a broken heart.</3
Don’t mind me, just reblogging myself for Marissa.
But yeah, Mari, this is Blake and this is like one of the last times we sang together. About two weeks before he left. Thought I’d give you a face to the name.
Marissa listened to the tale of love and betrayal that her friend told. She put a hand over her heart and frowned. “There must be a legitimate reason for him to go. No way he would just up and leave like that for no reason without telling you.” Though she didn’t know this guy, and only had heard about him this once, it didn’t seem like he would just decide to walk away. And the fact that his mom wouldn’t let her see the letter? That seemed a bit too shady.
Marissa nodded, “That’s like, thee worst feeling in the world.” She laughed again, shaking her head. “It kind of feels like you’re getting hit with a metal bat.” She said, making a face that showed the pain she was remembering. “Noooo good.” The dark haired girl shook her head, laughing before she took another bite of the treat.
“Sometimes I wish I never had to leave,” She laughed lightly, sticking her spoon into the ice cream so it stood straight up on it’s own. Then, Marissa laid her hands on the table and her chin on her hands. “I feel like I blend in here. It’s kind of cool because with this boring uniform on, no one really notices me walking around and I can pretty much do whatever.” She said, laughing again. “Unlike you and your beautiful fairy costume. Little kids love you,” She told Jaymee, smiling.
Jaymee shrugged with a sad shake of her head. “He always wanted to go. Maybe he just…couldn’t wait any longer. I kept hoping he’d come back for me when I turned 18 but when I never heard from him, I gave up. Now I’ll be 18 in a few days and it’s like, everything I’d planned since I was younger no longer seem doable because my best friend isn’t there to do it with me. But, oh well. I hope he’s doing good wherever he is and maybe one day he’ll make it big and I’ll hear that voice I know so well on the radio and it’ll take me back to that first day of school and back through all our years spent singing random stuff together. Until then, I just hope he’s doing okay.” And she was. She hoped that whatever Blake was doing, he was happy. That he was safe and doing good for himself. Part of her hoped that one day, one of the many faces in the park, would send her back to that first day as well.
“Worst feeling EVER.” Jaymee agreed with a laugh. “Like you’re getting run over by a mac truck that’s on fire.” She added.
“So many nights I want to hide in the castle and spend the night.” She admitted with a giggle. “I wish sometimes that I could blend in too. At times it gets overwhelming but luckily I love people. okay, sometimes I love people. The other times, it’s like no, too close, back off, don’t look at me.” She said with a shrug. “I still get stage fright sometimes even though I’ve performed since I was a little girl. I guess I like people but I hate when ALL the attention is on me.”
Marissa took yet another bite of ice cream, slower this time as she heard Jaymee mention this mysterious friend figure. “Sounds to me like there’s a little more there than just moving..” She said, raising an eyebrow and taking another scoop of ice cream. There was no doubt that everyone had a back story and there were people involved the tugged at their heart strings. It was just the way the life worked.
Then, she pumped her fist a few times in the air, making a small ‘woot woot’ noise. But she still coughed a few times from the cold that had hit her mouth and throat from the ice cream. Marissa nodded diligently. “Perfectly fine!” She said, laughing now as she threw a thumbs up to Jaymee. “Just remind me to eat smaller bites.” She told her friend with a smile.
“Oh my gosh, I know right? I feel like you could bring the worst of enemies here and they’d become best friends.” She looked around, seeing families and school groups and all sorts of other people just walking around. Everyone here was looking for fun, for an adventure. Marissa found that most teen groups were running away from something, while the older generation was searching for something they’d lost. In a way, it was a bit sad. But it was Disney world. Disney world opened the mind up to a whole new range of possibilities. And after just a few hours on site, there was no way anyone could wear a frown.
“Welllll…” Jaymee drew the word out again as she ate another bite of whip cream. “We met my first day of kindergarten. Some boy pushed me at recces and big bad first grader Blake came to my little damsel in distress rescue. We were best friends ever since. We even found out later that we shared a birthday, a year apart but the same day. It ended up being the total “girl falls in love with boy best friend” cliche of course but, I never told him. We had all these plans to leave our little town once I turned 18 and try and make it on our own, make names for ourselves but, I woke up the morning of his 18th birthday, my 17th, and he was gone. No goodbye, no letters, no calls, no texts. Nothing. He left a letter for his mom but she never let me read it or know where he was. She hated me because apparently I dragged him into singing, which caused her baby boy to leave.” Rolling her eyes, Jaymee shook her head sadly. “It’ll be a year on this upcoming 1st. Yes, our birthday’s are April Fool’s Day. Took me until the 2nd to believe he was really gone. I thought it was a prank. But, you don’t care about all that.” Jaymee dismissed it all with a wave of her hand as she took a bite of ice cream. Stupid Blake.
“It’s like when you get something cold to drink and chug it and almost fall to the ground sure you are having a heart attack from the pain in your chest.” She laughed.
“Disney makes everything better. No matter what you are going through in your life, if you go to Disney, all your troubles are left at the gates.” She said softly, looking around again.
That’s so true! I mean, I work in the Animal Kingdom, so it’s a little easier to tell whose who, but as soon as I get to the main part of the park, I’m scared to talk to anyone incase they give me a weird look and say they don’t work there.
Animal Kingdom?? That’s awesome, I love animals!! I’m Tinkerbell so I’m always trying to figure out who is who and who isn’t. It’s like, can ya’ll just please wear a big neon sign over your head that says Employee or Guest?? haha
So, what’s up?
(Source: allyouneedisalittlepixiedust)
Why thank you! And your name?
I know what you mean. Sometimes I can’t determine who works here and who’s just visiting!
oh wowwwww, I’m sorry haha. I’m Jaymee.
Right?? It’s like sometimes not even the ones in costume are always the employees. I’ve seen a few dressed up that were guests and it’s like WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?? haha

“No no, that’ll definitely be a hit.” Marissa said, pointing her spoon at Jaymee. “As long as I get partial credit.” She said, pretending to be serious before she burst out laughing. “Seriously though, I’m sure your songs are great.” She encouraged her with a warm smile.
“For real tho! She is so the boss in that household, no doubt about it!” Marissa laughed along with her friend. Then, she put her hands together in praying fashion, “Praise Mickey!” She yelled dramatically before laughing and taking another, rather large bite of ice cream. “Uh uhck!” She mumbled through the ice cream, fanning her mouth, “Aht’s eally ole!” Finally, she was able to swallow it, letting out a big sigh. “That was really cold!” She repeated the second sentence, knowing the first part was not for little children ears.
Marissa nodded, looking around as Jaymee did. “It’s truly incredible. Especially because a lot of people come all that way just for a theme park.” She filled her spoon with just whipped cream this time so her mouth didn’t freeze off. “I feel cultured enough just working here.” She chuckled.
“I’ll put you in the album dedication.” Jaymee promised with a mock roll of her eyes. It was her lifelong dream to one day record an album but she figured that would never happen. She wondered how Blake was doing with his dreams. He had turned 18 and left town. All the promises and plans they had made over their lifelong friendship had just vanished in one night. Just like that. Poof, gone. Shaking her head, she tried clearing him from her mind. Now was not the time to be thinking about the past.
“I like to think they are. I’ve sang every since I was a little girl. A friend and I used to even team up and duet sometimes for local events and such but…he uh..moved.” She finished quickly, silently cursing herself for thinking of him again so soon.
“Minnie is the head bit—-buttercup in charge around here.” Jaymee laughed, censoring herself in case little ears were listening in. Jaymee almost choked on her bite of ice cream, laughing at Marissa. “You good??” She asked once Marissa had swallowed.
“The magic of Disney.” Jaymee nodded her head. “I love seeing the young couples, the old couples, the families, just everything. Everyone bonding over a shared love of something.”
