Missing my baby bro…but only a little. And don’t tell him I said that…

Lunch Break || Marissa and Jaymee

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 18:58:42 -0400

“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.

allyouneedisalittlepixiedust:

It’s been almost a year since I last saw my best friend. Broken childhood promises hurt more than a broken heart.

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.

Lunch Break || Marissa and Jaymee

marissastone:

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.”

Lunch Break || Marissa and Jaymee

marissastone:

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.

selene-lovett:

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?

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

Lunch Break || Marissa and Jaymee

marissastone:

“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.”

Marissa laughed, blushing a bit. “He asked me out a few weeks ago. We went out to the movies but we’ve both been so busy, nothing else has happened.” She shrugged, taking a bite to stop herself from talking. It was lucky to her that they’d even gone out to the movies, considering how hot he was. She almost couldn’t believe her ears when he had asked her.

“They’re most important, so they’ve always got at least one person with them. It’s like some huge privilege to get to walk with Mickey though. Like he’s a frikkin king or something,” She rolled her eyes before laughing again. “Of course he’s king, it’s Disney world. Walt Disney is god and Mickey is his Jesus.” She laughed again, shaking her head as she took another bite.

Then, she nodded, agreeing with Jaymee. “Well, that’s the magic of disney!” She said, looking at the pail and giggling along with her friend. “I think I might explode if I finished this whole thing,” She said, but then ate another bite.

“ooooolalalalala.” Jaymee said over-dramatically fanning herself. “Disney Lovinnnnnn’.” She giggled. “Sounds like my next hit song. Well song since none of my songs are hits…” She corrected herself with a shrug.

“Nahhh Minnie is King. We all know she runs that relationship.” Jaymee giggled. “I like it. In Walt We Trust.” She giggled again as she ate a spoonful of whip cream.

“At least it’ll be a happy explosion. I wouldn’t mind dying by over-consumption of ice cream.”

Taking another bite, Jaymee glanced around them. “It’s amazing seeing all the different kinds of people that come here.” She said, glancing back at Marissa.

A little boy ran into me and smeared ice cream all over my shirt

Lunch Break || Marissa and Jaymee

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:45:40 -0400

marissastone:

Marissa burst out in laugher at her exlax comment. She shook her head, “It’s fine, really. I mean, he’s a nice guy and we’re friends and everything. I just have better food than he does.” She shrugged, eating more ice cream before glancing over to where Jeremy was still working. Then, she looked back at Jaymee and smiled.

“My lunch really depends on what they’re having me do in between shows. I just kind of float about the parks doing different jobs, especially on days without shows, like today.” She shrugged, eating more. Then, it hit her. “Do you have a walker with you today? Because you’re supposed to have one at all times.” Marissa didn’t remember seeing one when she first spotted her friend running through the park. That’s what they had called Marissa in for today, but she’d just switched with someone else before lunch.

“I could totally be your walker today,” She said with a happy smile. “After all, Tinkerbell should have the most security out of everyone! She’s the most important!” Marissa winked, laughing a bit as she took another bite. Her walkie talkie went off and she turned the volume down. It went off at random times with static or employees talking to each other and if they didn’t call for her, she learned to block it out.

“Fineeeeeeee. I won’t mess with anything…unless he keeps being a brat that is.” She laughed, watching as Marissa glanced back at the guy. Arching an eyebrow, she smiled. “Something else going on?” She asked.

“I normally do but I didn’t today. Something about no one showing up or something like that. I didn’t mind.” Jaymee shrugged before laughing. “That sounds like a blast. Although I’m sure Tink isn’t the most important. That HAS to be Mickey and Minnie and oh…about everyone else.” She smiled before taking another bite.

“Is it me or is this thing like refilling itself??” She laughed, looking at the sundae. “Three bites appear for every one we take.” Jaymee giggled.

Lunch Break || Marissa and Jaymee

marissastone:

Her country twang made Marissa smile. Accent’s were one thing she couldn’t help but love and Jaymee’s was just too adorable. Marissa made a ‘revenge’ comment to Jeremy before walking away with Jaymee. “He ate my lunch today.” She explained with a sigh. “Though I can’t really add today on to that considering he ends up eating my lunch more often than I do.” She laughed lightly.

Sitting down at the table, she happily took the spoon and shrugged. “I have no idea,” She looked at the treat with wide eyes. Then, she stuck her spoon towards the side of the pail and took a bite, closing her eyes in pure bliss. “This is like heaven in ice cream form.” She said before laughing. Where anyone could come up with the idea to put ice cream in a pail, she had no idea. But only in a place like Disney world would it be accepted and actually encouraged to try.

“How long is your lunch break for?” She asked the blonde in between bites, raising an eyebrow. After a year of working here, she’d found that people had pretty weird break schedule’s and no two workers were the same. As she was lifting another bite to her mouth, it fell off her spoon and onto the ground, just missing her shoe by an inch. She laughed before rolling her eyes at herself. Getting up quickly, she grabbed a hand full of napkins before bringing them back to the table. “With this monster, we’re going to need these.” She said, sitting back down with a laugh.

“What a jerk.” Jaymee said shaking her head. “I have an idea. Tomorrow, me and you will have to meet up for lunch and you just leave your lunch that he’ll take to me. I’ll make something that’s totally edible and yummy but filled with like…exlax or something.” She giggled with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

Taking a bite, Jaymee’s eyes widened. “oh my goodness!!!!” She exclaimed. “Whoever made this up needs to win all the awards ever created. Disney…where dreams come true.” She giggled.

“Well, it actually depends on the crowd level of the day. The slower days, I get longer. The busier days I get like 15-30 minutes. Today I get 45.” Jaymee shrugged. It was still hard to keep up with her ever changing schedule but she was loving working here. “What about you?” She asked, taking another bite.

Laughing, she took a napkin. “We may need like…a zillion.” She said looking at the sundae. “It’s…ginormous…but oh so delicious.”

Lunch Break || Marissa and Jaymee

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:26:46 -0400

marissastone:

There was no denying that Jaymee was a little fireball herself, fitting the role of Tink pretty perfectly. When Marissa heard the name of the magical sundae, her face lit up and she smiled, grabbing onto Jaymee’s hand. Then, she took off running, pulling Jaymee with her. There was no way she would miss having one of the wonderful treats that she’d only ever had once before. And the last time, it had gotten knocked onto the floor before she could finish it.

“Do you wanna split one, or do you think you can handle it all on your own?” She asked with a laugh. Finally, she spotted the source of the sundae and pointed happily at it, making her way over there. Waiting patiently in line with Jaymee, she gasped when she saw who was serving today. “Jeremy,” She mumbled under her breath, narrowing her eyes at the culprit who had eaten her lunch. They’d started working here the same day, same time and at the same place, so she knew him fairly well.

Stepping up to order when they were at the front of the line, she let Jaymee go first, glaring down the boy. Marissa shook her head at him when he saw her and started to laugh. There were kids around, so when she stepped up, she resisted the urge to call him nasty names and hit him. Instead, she just shook her head again and turned to her blonde friend. “Wait.. I forget, are we sharing or not?” She asked with a smile. Jeremy had already stepped off to the side to start preparing the sundae Jaymee had ordered. She thought she could finish it on her own, but she’d much rather share with Jaymee. It would make her more likely to be able to return to work when break was over.

Laughing, Jaymee knew they must look hysterical to the park guests. Tinkerbell being yanked through the park at top speed.

“Wellllllllll…” Jaymee drew the word out, tilting her head to the side. “I’m sure I could finish one all by myself but considering I have to go back to work…I think we should share.” She laughed. She could only imagine the sluggish feeling after eating a sand pail full of ice cream.

Jaymee heard Marissa mumble the boys name with a not very happy look on her face. She wondered what was going on there and made a note to ask her while they destroyed the sundae.

“We’re sharing. Sharing is caring. Eating alone is…is…stomachachy??” Jaymee laughed having failed to think of a better word.

Paying, Jaymee grabbed two spoons before linking her free arm through one of Marissa’s and leading her to a nearby table. Sitting down, she handed her one of the spoons before looking at the sand pail.

“Where do we even start??”

Lunch Break || Marissa and Jaymee

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:01:20 -0400

marissastone:

Marissa was more than happy to go on her lunch break today. Her stomach had been growling for about an hour now and she was in serious need of food. Walking into the break room, she walked right over to the fridge and looked for her lunch. She pushed food around, trying to find the brown paper sack with her name printed on it. After a few minutes of looking, it was no where to be seen. Another employee tapped her on the shoulder, “Jeremy ate your lunch, but I didn’t tell you that.” She closed her eyes and sighed. “Seriously guys? Could we have a day where I eat my own lunch for once?”

She closed the door to the fridge and headed back out into the park, on a quest to buy lunch now. Marissa took a deep breath, pushing the hungry feeling in her stomach to the back of her mind. Finally, she settled on a corn dog from one of the stands along the path. After ordering it, she sat down on a bench and began to eat. People watching, though very creepy, had become a habit to her lately. There were just so many guests from all over the world, it was impossible not to watch.

But then, among the crowd, she saw a girl dressed in green, with sparkles falling behind her. It was familiar and she laughed; Jaymee. She had yet to meet the upbeat blonde in person, but there was no doubt it was here. “Hey Jaymee! Wait up,” Marissa yelled after her, dumping the left over stick in a trash can before catching up to her friend. “Why the rush?”

Jaymee had been about to take her lunch break when one last little girl came up to meet her.

With the most amazing thing Jaymee had ever laid eyes on in her hands. After doing her Tinkerbell duties, she had asked the little girl what it was and where she had gotten it.

Sand Pail Sundae.

In either waterpark.

Waiting until the family was out of sight, Jaymee let out a whoop and began running through the park at top speed, dodging people left and right. She only had a short amount of time before she needed to be back and it was a fair distance to the nearest water park.

Halfway there, Jaymee heard someone call her name. Sliding to a stop, she grabbed a lamppost to keep from falling down before she whirled around. A huge smile crossed her face as she waved at the girl approaching her.

“Marissa! Hi!” She smiled even bigger, throwing her arms around her friend in an overly excited typical Jaymee hug. They hadn’t officially met yet but Jaymee could tell they’d end up being great friends.

”Sand Pail Sundae. Most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Waterpark. Lunch break. Must have. Let’s go.” She said quickly, holding her hand out.

Love seeing this everyday when I enter work for the day....

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:04:47 -0400

Love seeing this everyday when I enter work for the day. Something…magical about it.
