Chapter 1- Disney: Where All Your Dreams Come True
*Hope's POV (always unless specified)*

I dumped my bags down. I was here, at the all-famous Playlist Live. I looked around at my room, and inhaled. It was real. I unzipped my bag of clothes and brought out the spaghetti-strap blue dress I was to wear to Disney, and I set it down. We were going to Disney later, Zoe, Louise, Alfie, and I. We were all pretty tired, but a layer of excitement covered the sleepiness.

I'd vlogged some on the plane already, so that would be a nice treat to my subscribers. I made my way to the bathroom before looking in the mirror at my face, which needed serious damage control. I fished around in my carry-on, until I found my makeup bag. I shut my bathroom door as I put concealer under my eyes, put a small bit of foundation on, and slapped a layer of mascara on. I looked at myself for a minute before putting on a little bit of pink lipstick. Disney ready.

I changed quick, and put on some blue flats that matched the baby blue dress. I admired myself as I twirled, before getting a little purse and starting to vlog. "Alright guys. I'm here. Playlist Live. I'm also extremely tired, but also excited. We're going to Disney in 10 minutes, or so my über says so. We'll see" I took a pause as I rolled my eyes, as I'd had problems with über's before. I spoke again. "I also put together this outfit, which is just a nice blue sundress and some flats, with minimum makeup" I nodded.

As I put the camera in my purse, I opened my door and walked out, fighting a yawn. I won, and locked the door behind me.

As I took the elevator down, I got a text. 'I'm here- über' it'd read. I nodded to myself. I was making steady time.

I got down fine, and I got into the car.

I got to Disney in 30 minutes, only to see the party of 3 waiting for me. I stepped out and paid, and walked up to them. "I'm here, worry not!" I smiled. Louise smiled at me. "I adore your dress" Zoe nodded, and we all walked to the front to pay.

We got our tickets in a timely manner, and I was buzzing by the time we got in. All the rides, the food, the characters walking around. It all made my heart swell. The others wanted to eat first, as they wouldn't stop talking about food. So I was brought along with them as we went to the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney. It was cool. The lights were dim, there was a waiting room that was like an aquarium with fish swimming about. Fake monkeys hung from the ceiling. A rainforest was painted on the walls.

It was truly amazing. I brought out my camera and vlogged a bit as we ate, Zoe, Louise, and I getting a salad as Alfie got a burger. I soon put my camera away, for Alfie to get his out. Then Zoe. Finally, Louise.

We went back out to Downtown Disney, where we actually saw some fellow YouTubers walking about. We saw Marzia, who said a quick hello to us before going off into a shop.

We saw others, like Dan and Phil, who gave Louise and huge hug.

We all got Mickey ears. I got the traditional black, but Zoe got pink and Louise got purple. Alfie was out to get a milkshake, so Zoe took it in herself to get him a Minnie Mouse headband.

We saw more YouTubers as we went to Magic Kingdom. We even saw PewDiePie, who was vlogging with two other people. I recognized them as Markiplier and Jacksepticeye. They all had dyed hair. Blue, red, and green.

As Zoella rushed over to say hello, I couldn't help but stare at Jack. He smiled as we made our way over, and he cocked an eyebrow at me. Zoe introduced me to him, and I just did a little wave. He smiled at me as Mark said hi, then Felix.

We decided to group with them, and I got to talk to Jack more. We were both into some of the same things, but he focused on gaming. He was interested on how I'd recently moved to Ireland, and when I told him my address he gasped and said I lived close to him, and that we should keep in touch.

All of us got all of us got in line for splash mountain, and we did the buddy system, seeing there was only 2 people a seat. Jack immediately grabbed my arm and held it up, announcing he had 'dibs on Hope'.

Felix was riding with a stranger, because we had an uneven amount of people. Jack let me onto the ride first, laughing as I started to realize how bad of an idea this was. As I sat, he flashed me a big smile before climbing in himself. We were in the very front, my choice. Mark and Louise were behind us, Zoe and Alfie behind them.

As we went down a small bump in the ride, Mark's pants got drenched. Jack turned around and laughed at him, pointing at his pants. I started laughing as Jack yelled "HAHA, BITCH" very loudly, so loud that Felix yelled "LANGUAGE, JACK" from the back.

I was dying from laughter, Jack smiling at me as if he accomplished something. I was fine as we slowly climbed up the tallest drop, where we would get our pictures. Jack and I planned to do it Hunger Games style, holding our hands up, and holding hands in the middle. We would keep a straight face.

As we got off, I didn't get as wet as I thought I would. Mark looked like he wet himself, and Felix had hair stuck to his forehead. Jack and I got it easy, rarely touching the water.

We rode more rides, ate more food. It was 9, and the fireworks show was starting. We all went towards the castle, and sat on the concrete as we watched fireworks dot the sky, exploding with a bang.

We were all eating something, wether it be a giant pickle, popcorn, or ice cream. Zoe was resting on Alfie, eating part of his ice cream. I looked away before I ended up making awkward eye contact. I had gotten popcorn, and it was almost empty. As the fireworks came to a close, we all waited for the mad rush of people to clear out.

Jack went on his phone, and suddenly sighed. "I think there's something wrong with my phone" he whispered to me. I tilted my head at him. He finished. "It doesn't have your number in it"

I laughed and shook my head, grabbing his phone. I punched in a series of numbers, and added myself as a contact. "Better?" I asked, and he nodded, going off to the guys. Louise ran up to me. "Did you give him your number!?" She whispered frantically in my ear. I flinched and faced her, glad it was dark so she couldn't see how red my face was. "Why?" I asked, and she squealed quietly. "You did! Oh Hope, you go girl" she said. I shook my head. "Yeah, whatever" I said, and I climbed into the über Zoe called, and went back to my hotel room.

I was already tired enough, but I was going on Zoe's panel tomorrow, too. I fell asleep almost instantly after trudging up the stairs, and falling in my bed, not bothering to change or take off my makeup.
