Alanna kept her smile plastered on her face as she watched the little girl in line come running over to her with a smile, "Oh hello!" She exclaimed happily, her best Rapunzel voice on full display as she spoke with the little girl, "What's your name?" "Emily!" "Wow, that's such a pretty name! Oh, my goodness, Emily, you're hair is so long! It's almost as long as mine, I'm sure you have to brush it a lot!" Alanna said with a smile. Emily nodded happily at Alanna's words, "I do! It takes foreva!" She exclaimed. Alanna giggled lightly, "You know what always helps me pass the time when I'm brushing my hair? Singing! It always makes it go faster even though Flynn gets quite annoyed with my constant songs." Alanna said and let out another giggle. The attendant then spoke about them getting their picture taken, so Alanna put her arms around Emily and hugged her tightly for the picture before the little girl thanked her and ran off with her mom. Alanna looked over at the next in line and had to fight to keep it together. It was Alanna's best friend Cat, who hadn't told her she was coming down to Florida for a visit, "Well hello there!" She said happily to her best friend.

Ashton normally didn't meet the characters when he visited Disney World, but Michael had suggested it, and he was always down for something new, so that's what brought them to standing in line to meet Rapunzel, "What do I even say to her? I've never met a Princess before." Ashton said as he looked over at Michael with a small laugh. Ashton knew that it was just someone in a costume, but the magic still held its value in regards to the actual experience, at least in his eyes it did. Ashton looked one person ahead of them in line and smiled slightly at the girl that was in front of them. She was really fit. Ashton wanted to say something, but couldn't even think of what to say to a random stranger that was waiting in line to meet Rapunzel, "Is this your first time in Disney World?" He asked curiously, hoping he didn't seem creepy.

Catriona knew that Alanna didn't suspect a thing. She'd made up this whole story about how she was going upstate with her family for spring break, which wasn't a complete lie considering her parents were actually going to Lake George for a few days that week Catriona just wasn't going with them. She was going somewhere a bit warmer, with loads of palm trees and where they had mickey waffles and dole whip galore. She was spending the week in sunny Orlando with her friend. Her parents, who were honestly pretty done hearing her complain about how much she missed her best friend, had gone halfsies with her on the airfare and park tickets, and they had lent her their Vacation Club points so that she could get a room at the Polynesian. She was sneakily recording her friend for her snapchat story from her spot in line, and captioned the video Surprise visits to see my favorite princess are the best! before hitting send, when an accented voice spoke from behind her. She hadn't paid much mind to who was on line behind her, too excited to see her best friend and surprise her, so she hadn't really noticed the guys behind her. The one who had spoken to her had a head of curly hair that put her own to shame, and a rather inviting dimpled smile. The other was equally as tall as his friend and had blonde hair almost as pale as he was. "Nah, I practically grew up here. My parents are vacation club members so I'm usually here twice a year. This is my first solo trip though. What about you?" She asked, but before anything else could be said, it was her turn to go up, and for the time being her best friend was her sole focus, not the cute foreign boy on line behind her. She could tell that it was killing her friend to stay in character. "Hi, Rapunzel! It's so great to see you!" She said, going in for a hug.

Michael didn't normally wait on line to meet characters all that often either, but it was pretty hot out, and the queue for Rapunzel and Tiana was inside which meant air-conditioning. Calum and Luke had decided to queue for Splash Mountain, but Ashton had been feeling the air-conditioning as well, so they had split up for the time being. Michael knew that Orlando got warm, and he was used to warm weather between Sydney and LA, but the Florida heat was a bit different. It was rather humid, so the air-conditioning was definitely welcomed. The girl they had playing Rapunzel was rather fit too, so that was definitely a plus. "Mention things from her movie. I don't know, say whatever you'd like, mate." He said with a slight laugh as he watched the princess interacting with a little girl who seemed to be in awe over who was talking to her. Honestly, that was probably one of the best thing about meeting characters in the parks. The little kids in line really thought that they were meeting their favorite Disney characters. It was too cute. He noticed the girl standing in line ahead of them was practically vibrating with excitement and he wondered if it was her first time at the parks. Ashton beat him to it though and was striking up a conversation with her. The conversation was short-lived though as the girl was going up to meet Rapunzel soon after. "D'you reckon they know each other?" He asked the drummer, noticing the tight hug the princess gave the silver-haired girl.

Alanna couldn't wait until she was finished her shift and could rip Cat a new asshole for surprising her like this. It was a good thing that Alanna's job was completely at risk if she would even slightly hint that she knew Cat, so Alanna stayed in character, "Oh my gosh! Your hair is so pretty! The color is so wonderful! Does it change if you cut it because one time Flynn cut my hair and the whole color changed." Alanna spoke. It had been a decent amount of time since Alanna had last seen her best friend and her hair had changed a bit. It was starting to get a little longer, and the color had been changed recently as well. Alanna still thought her best friend looked great. Alanna looked away from her best friend for just a moment to see the two guys standing in line behind Cat, the one with the blonde hair instantly caught her eye, and she had to fight not to give him a once-over before she turned back toward her best friend with a smile on her face.

Ashton nodded at the girl's explanation before she went up and greeted Rapunzel and their conversation was cut short. Ashton turned his head when he heard Michael start speaking. He shrugged in response, "I mean unless she really loves Tangled and Rapunzel is her favorite princess, I'm sure she probably knows her. Nobody gets that excited to meet characters....do they?" He questioned. It almost seemed like knowing the girl playing Rapunzel was the only option because the silver-haired girl seemed way too excited as she was standing in line. There was also a hint of shock in the character's eyes when she rested her green ones on the girl in front of them in line.

Catriona knew that Alanna was going to rip her a new one the second she had the chance to do so. Not that she was actually pissed at her for being there, more like that she didn't like being surprised, and Cat had totally blindsided her by planning this vacation. She couldn't wait to really talk to her friend once her shift ended. It was great just seeing her right now, but she couldn't wait to grab a drink or something once Alanna's shift ended. She honestly didn't know how she had managed to keep it a secret the last couple of months as it had been in the works since just after the holidays. It had practically killed her considering A) she wasn't good at keeping secrets and B) she literally told Alanna everything. "You know, I haven't cut it recently, I've been trying to grow it out long like yours because you're like hair goals, but it doesn't glow when I sing, so I don't think it's magical like yours." She said.

"I'm not one to judge, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone above the age of six get that excited over meeting one of the characters." Michael said, watching as the girl conversed with Rapunzel. She'd seemed rather smug when she went up to the princess, so he was 99% sure that they knew each other. He was sure that the girl portraying Rapunzel couldn't let that fact be known. He'd heard that there were some pretty strict rules for Disney employees, so he wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. "I think you were more excited to talk to her than you are Rapunzel, mate. I saw you trying to chat her up before." He smirked. They were here for a couple more days, so he wouldn't be at all surprised if Ashton attempted to chat the silver-haired girl up again. She hadn't seemed disinterested, so that was a good sign. "Maybe you can ask her to show you around or something. It sounds like she knows Disney pretty well."

Alanna couldn't help but laugh at Cat's words before she gave a big smile to her best friend, "Well that's something that we're going to have to change then. I'll figure something out. We could both have magical hair! Oh gosh, Flynn would be a wreck, that's way too much singing for him to handle!" She said with a giggle. Alanna looked over when the attendant, Julia, spoke about taking their picture, and nodded, sad to have her time with her friend come to an end already. She quickly posed with a smile before she switched poses for the second pose. She grinned as she gave another hug to Cat, "We must be sure to make your hair magical the next time you come around." She stated with a smile.

Ashton shook his head lightly at Michael's words, knowing that they were true, before he raised an eyebrow at his friend, "Don't think I didn't notice you eyeing up Rapunzel over there, mate." He teased with a smile before he noticed that Rapunzel's time with her friend was coming to an end. He watched closely as the silver-haired girl walked away and over to the line next to theirs before Rapunzel happily greeted he and Michael, "Well hello!" She said happily, "Hey, Rapunzel! How are you?" Ashton asked with a smile, "I'm Ashton and this is my friend Michael." Ashton introduced as he nudged Michael closer to the girl.
