Oh, it's a water ride? That makes sense... uh, I'm fine with it! The cold doesn't bother me nearly as much as it used to.

[Sorry, Anna's sister.]

[robitussin]

Cool. They take your picture and everything, I think you'll like it. It's this way.

[Time to take Jezebel's hand again so they don't get lost on the way.]

[aflatouttahell]

They take my picture? Like, on the ride?

[WHEN WOULD THEY DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

And yes. So they don't get separated. Obviously.]

Lead the way, Natalie!

[robitussin]

Uh huh. Right when you hit this pool of water at the very bottom, they take your picture so you can see what your face was like.

[Clearly this is the only reason they would ever hold hands!

Either way, I am saying that the lines here are nonexistent due to the magic of museboxing.]

[aflatouttahell]

At the very bottom, huh?

[What a strange way to handle that. But now they are on the ride, so that is awesome.]

So what kind of ride is it, anyway?

[She asked, now that they're buckled in. She was a little too busy looking at Natalie to notice what Splash Mountain is about on the way in here, oops?]

[robitussin]

It's like... Not really sure I would call it a roller coaster until the last part. But you'll see.

[Here they go!]

[aflatouttahell]

[Look at all these animatronic animals.]

Uh... huh. And they start with singing?

[robitussin]

Yeah. I mean, it's Disney. There's a lot of singing to go around.

[aflatouttahell]

I guess so. Speaking of, are there any High School Musical things here? That's Disney, right?

[robitussin]

It's Disney Channel, I don't think it counts. There's a difference—

[But she pauses as the ride starts going a little faster.]

Oh, here we go.

[aflatouttahell]

A diff-?

[They sure are going faster. And the animatronics have turned... foreboding.

And up there-]

Is that just... a drop?

[robitussin]

Yes.

[Prepare yourself, Jez.]

[aflatouttahell]

Oh.

[And in the split-second before they go over, she sees how far down is.]

Oh.

[Annnnd she is clinging to your arm, Natalie. Unless it is in the air, then she's just clinging to you.]

[robitussin]

[It is definitely not in the air, and she might be clinging a little too. But in a subtle way. She's totally cool, she's got this.

She's definitely making a ridiculous face when they both get soaked, though. See icon, only more extreme. That's going to be fun when they get the picture.]

[aflatouttahell]

[Well her face is definitely mostly panic. And now she is also shivering because wet.]

Th-that was... fun?

[It's not sarcastic, she's just... in hindsight, that was fun.]

[robitussin]

[Even if it's not sarcastic, something about her tone makes Natalie laugh.]

You sound surprised.

[aflatouttahell]

I was screaming and grabbing onto you! I was... expecting to be angry? But no, that was fun.

[robitussin]

Wait, why were you going to be angry? Because of the drop?

[aflatouttahell]

Yes? I don't know, I think I probably should have realized that was the point of the ride, but I missed that, somehow.

[robitussin]

Well. Better or worse than Space Mountain?

[aflatouttahell]

I mean... at least Space Mountain didn't lure you in with animatronic animals? But I don't know. I liked both of them.

[robitussin]

Yeah, starting with cute animals when you're headed for a fifty foot drop is a little misleading, I'm with you there.

[aflatouttahell]

They could at least have the line go by the drop or something.

[She probably would have noticed!]

[robitussin]

At least I warned you about the whole getting wet part?

[just not the sudden plummet into watery oblivion]

[aflatouttahell]

You did! Which was very thoughtful of you. And part of me is glad you didn't give me... ride spoilers, I guess.
