It was their first performance at Disney World. And Niall was freaking out
"I cannot believe this, I cannot believe this, I cannot believe this," Niall was muttering to himself, over and over. The other boys glanced at each other, each smiling at the blond's reaction to the news—they were going to be performing at Disney World within the month. While it was exciting to them all, Niall was on the next level of excitement.
"Freaking out much?" Harry was the first one to interrupt. Niall looked over at them all, blue eyes wide.
"Yes. Yes, I am. Oh my god. It's Disney World. How aren't you guys freaking out?"
"Because we're just performing a few songs," Liam reminded him with a soft smile.
"Yeah, but, it's Disney World."
They all chuckled, Louis shaking his head and Zayn rolling his eyes. Harry smiled at Niall.
"You're so adorable, Ni."
Niall turned to glare at Harry, not catching Louis' "way-to-be-obvious" look to the same curly-haired boy.
"Why do I always have to adorable or cute? Why not hot or sexy?"
Harry wanted nothing more in that moment than to tell Niall exactly how sexy he was, but withheld himself, instead just laughing as Zayn commented, "Because, Niall, in the words of a wise man...you're a furby."
Niall stuck his tongue out before turning back to the window, still caught up on the fact that they'd be performing at freaking Disney World.

"I can't do this," Niall looked over at the other boys, "I cannot do this."
They were in a room somewhere in the midst of Disney World, currently waiting for the go ahead to go out and perform. They were dressed, hair and makeup done, and Niall was freaking out. With a sigh, Liam rose from where he was sitting on the couch to wrap an arm around the blond's shoulders.
"Niall. Calm down. Take a few breaths. It's just another performance."
"No, it's not," he insisted, only to be quickly interrupted by Harry.
"Yes, it is, Niall. Listen. Do you hear that?"
In the silence that followed, you could faintly hear the screams. Although it was still a bit strange, at the same time the screams were familiar, and they made Niall smile softly and nod.
"Right. We are going to walk out there, sing a few songs, and there are going to be screaming girls singing along. It's just like any other performance, okay?"
Niall met Harry's beautiful green eyes and felt himself calming down. He nodded, and relaxed into Liam's grip just as they were told to get their butts out there and sing. With one last comforting smile to Niall, Harry turned and followed Zayn out the door.

"You'd think you'd get used to that after the first few times," Louis spoke up as they came back from the performance, all a little out of breath, and all rather amazed at the quantity of fans that had come to see them. It was insanity.
"You'd think," Liam agreed, "But you never quite do."
They got back to the dressing room of sorts and plopped down on the couches. They had a half hour before they had to go out for a quick meet-and-greet before they were back on the plane set for London, where they had another performance the next evening. Harry sat down next to Niall, throwing an arm carelessly around him.
