33- Better a Witty Fool

Hello everyone!!!

This is a very long, very detailed chapter. I'm REALLY good at writing Disney World scenes, because before my Blue Moon days, I would practice plot lines by sending about 30-40 of my friends to Disney World on a competitive scavenger hunt. :) Ah, the good 'ol days.

(No actually, Blue Moon is better)

This chapter is detailed, so I hope you like it! :D For the adaptation, the following chapters might be a little shorter, to make way for more action more quickly.

But in the meantime...enjoy! :)

Chapter Thirty-Three

~Nobody's POV~

Now, Thea walks in between Videl and Angelique. She is feeling happy, moderately happy given the circumstances, and the allure of the park is drumming her heart. Even the fact that she has to present her fingerprint at the turnstiles does not sway her elation. 

Videl, however, frowns as he is forced to press his fingerprint on the pad. Angelique notices, but also notices Thea standing inside the park, looking around eagerly, and so says quietly, "I wouldn't worry about it. And just look at Thea. She's having fun." 

"That's what I'm worried about," says Videl curtly, striding past Angelique without a backwards glance. 

Videl's stormy mood persists. He is not as stand-offish with Angelique, but to Thea, who is placidly licking a lollipop, he grows increasingly cranky as the three of them walk towards Main Street. When Thea spots Cinderella Castle standing majestically at the end of the street, partially lit up by the dwindling sunlight, she exclaims, hopping up and down, "It's so beautiful! It's like-"

"It's nothing," snaps Videl, "It's a stupid plastic castle, and you're a fool like the rest of the sticky-faced children to think that it's a fairyland." 

"Videl!" Angelique looks shocked. 

Thea blinks, shamefully wiping her chin. She spots a restroom sign to the restroom and says in a strongly wavering voice, "I'll be right back."

"Or not," says Videl, "I really wouldn't mind either way." 

Over her shoulder, Thea throws Videl a look of furious loathing, tears of hurt glittering in her eyes, before stalking into the restroom. 

Angelique looks at Videl mournfully, "Why did you say that? She's been through enough."

"Well I wouldn't know, would I, if she doesn't tell me!" snarls Videl. 

"Well from what it sounds like, an ass like you doesn't deserve to know!" snaps Angelique. 

This silences Videl, and he watches as Angelique walks into the bathroom. 

Angelique finds Thea sitting in the corner, her arms around her legs, staring steadfastly in front of her. A few tears have escaped her, trickling down her face. 

"Hey," says Angelique quietly. 

"Hi," says Thea miserably. 

There's silence. 

"Sorry," mutters Thea, abashadly wiping her cheeks. 

"You're not the one who should be sorry," says Angelique, "Videl should be." She sighs, then waits for a woman to wash her hands at the sink before adding, "I think he's worried about you."
