The flight was around one or two hours, you couldn't really tell with how fast time seemed to go. In the corner of your eye, you saw Ken's body bouncing up and down as he looked out the window as you started to descend.

"I really wanted to fly one of these...."

He said it so quietly, that you don't know if he meant to say it at all. Though you decided to just pretend that you didn't hear it as sad feelings started to enter your head a bit.

You would make this kid's day today.

The two of you quickly got off the plane and entered the main airport which was much smaller than the one in you had first arrived at. It was probably already close to midnight and you needed to get yourself to a hotel before you crashed from exhaustion. Luckily there were already Ubers patrolling around the airport so finding a ride didn't take all that long.

You had already researched a hotel that you would be staying at so that was all covered too. You just needed to sleep this night off.....

---

"Wake up, wake up! We're going to be late!"

You felt someone pushing you from side to side as your eyes slowly opened. You saw that this was Ken, but his bright eager face startled a bit, enough to get you awake and to your senses.

"Jesus, when did I go to sleep?"

"Oh, you fell asleep as soon as you walked in the door. The room is pretty boring and the only kids show on TV is Arthur." Ken complains with slight annoyance.

"But hurry up and get up, I want us to get there before the gates open at nine and it's already seven!"

"Relax kid where like a few blocks away, let me get showered and dress and well get a bus over there..." You yawn as you start to open your backpack and dump out your clothes onto your bed.

"Ughhhhh, well hurry up. I'm sick of watching Arthur." Ken grumbles before stomping back over to the T.V and plopping himself down on the carpet.

Once you were done and ready, you took Ken with you to go downstairs while you served yourself breakfast in the cafeteria. You felt a little bad eating in front of Ken though while you waited, it seems he took notice to this and just waved his hand.

"I don't get hungry ever." He says reassuringly.

Even so, you raced to finish your food as fast as you could before leaving the Hotel itself and heading to the nearest bus stop that would get you to Disneyland. Ken always seemed to race ahead of you as he motioned for you to hurry up while he bounced side to side most likely from anticipation.

The bus probably won't get here for ano-."

"Look there's the bus!" Ken exclaims while he points down the road.

Well shit.

Getting onto the bus with your passes, Ken made you sit in the front row saying that he wanted to be the first one off the bus upon arriving.

Though it didn't really all that much since the bus ride was only about five minutes anyway. The parking lots outside of Disneyland didn't seem all that full either, even though there was a lot of people around the entrance of the park you guess this would still be considered a slow day.

"The line isn't even that long we're going to get in soon!" Ken says with eagerness.

Just as he predicted, it took no time at all to get in with how fast it was to get through the gates.

Upon entering the main section of the park, even you were overwhelmed on where you should start, Ken was already bouncing up and down while giving endless suggestions.

"Let's go on the tower of terror, my friend said that he peed his pants when he went on that one because the drop was so scary, or we can go on Space Mountain since that's the one everyone always goes on first since it's the best ride in the park!"

It looked like Ken was looking onto you for guidance on where to start in this ginormous park.

You medium level thrill rides

Ken was probably a little too young for the extreme roller coasters that they had here, with him also being a ghost, there was a chance of an accident happening that you wouldn't be able to intervene in.

The medium rides wouldn't bore him but wouldn't be too dangerous either.

"Alright then, let's start with space mountain since the drops on that aren't really too bad," you say giving Ken your decision.

"Yes! I knew you would pick that one! Come on I think I know the way I saw it on one of the billboard maps!" Ken says as he starts running.

"Hey wait!" Ignoring the looks of other park guests you start to run after Ken.

Running throughout the park while taking breaks to look at the maps posted around, you finally reach the section containing space mountain as the two of you get into massive designated line.

There were a pretty decent amount of people waiting, but it wasn't the size that you were expecting which was good.

When it was finally your turn to take your seat, you picked the spot all the way in the back hoping that nobody else would ride with you, with Ken already taking up the seat next to you.

By your lucks, you were able to save the empty seat as the man gave the thumbs up for the ride to start.

"Are you sure there aren't any big drops or anything?" Ken says with genuine worry.

"Yeah don't worry about it, it's just a really fun ride that swoops you around in the dark."

Ken slowly nods as the lights begin to dim while the track starts to pull you with speed.


"Oh my god that was awesome, I felt myself laughing the whole entire time! That as probably one of the best roller-coasters I've ever ridden!" Ken exclaims with adoration for what he had just experienced.

"Yeah it was pretty fun reliving that memory." You agree while keeping a steady pace along with the eager kid.

On your walk to no actual destination, you stop by a cotton candy vendor and buy a stick. There was actually something you were looking to experiment with to see if it worked or not.

Sitting down on a bench, you take off the covering for the cotton candy and point it at Ken's face who's taken aback a bit in surprise.

"I can't eat that..." He says.

"Don't eat it, lick it." You reply.

"Huh?"

"Try it, trust me." You say.

A bit hesitant, Ken does as you say and licks a bit of the cotton candy.

His eyes light up instantly as he begins to lick it more, with much more vigor.

"I know you ghosts can't eat stuff, but I thought that you guys would still be able to taste since you can touch things and all." You explain while Ken indulges in pleasure.

"I never thought I could do this since I was never able to grab anything before! This is great!"

Touching the cotton candy with your hand, you felt no wetness from where Ken had touched. Still, though you were a little grossed out with eating the parts that he had licked, so you had torn off the bottom section for yourself to eat alone.

After finishing your snacks and taking a quick trip to the bathroom, you went on the find the next ride that you could do together, though you already had two in mind.

"Alright, kid do you want to do splash mountain or the rapid one where they put you in that circular tube kinda thingy." You say, letting him decide.

"Splash mountain yes! Everyone at school always wanted to go on that and the ones who had said the feeling of your stomach dropping was so fun! I want to sit in the back though."

"How come?" You ask.

"Reasons, besides wouldn't it look weird if I sat in the front and no one could see me?"

"Yeah that would be pretty weird, O.K, let's go get in line before it gets too big."

The line to Splash Mountain was unsurprisingly the biggest one you had encountered at the park, mostly for it being the ride that almost everybody could go on, and everyone wanted to go on.

While in line, Ken kept on racing back and forth from the front to where you were waiting to see how long it would be until it was your turn to ride, you were a bit worried he would push people which would lead to questions and hysteria, but he was careful to glide through the crowds with ease.

Luckily, the line was going in a zigzag formation so it didn't mess with the boundary either luckily, even then though, your boundary felt bigger than it did last time for some reason.

When it finally came to be your own turn to get on after about ten minutes of waiting, you were able to get a log to yourself since you were the only single rider who wanted to get on in your section. Ignoring the weird looks some people gave, Ken asked you a question as soon as you were out of earshot from everyone else.

"Are you sure this ride is safe, shouldn't it have seatbelts?" He asks worryingly.

"Don't worry, people ride this thing every day. If you're really worried though just hang on to me when we reach the top." You assure him in which he just nods.

As you begin to ascend the mountain, you and Ken both laugh at the animatronics that sing and talk throughout the ride. Though upon reaching the top, you feel Ken squirm behind you as if he's nervous.

Even you feel a little queasy as you see the park before you atop of the drop.

"Actually you may want to han-."

You are interrupted as the log tips over the edge while you both let out a scream and Ken latches onto your back with his arms.

The log causes a tremendous splash at the bottom as both of your bodies jerk forward from the momentum. A bit of your pants is soaked as you exit the ride.

The same laughter that Ken had at Space Mountain is mirrored here as his head bobs up and down in enthusiasm.

"That was freaking awesome! I want to go on it again!" He says with glee.

You also shared his sentiment, but with how long the line was, you decided that it was best to just go on it later tonight when you had the free time.

"Let's go to the picture kiosk, I want to see if I made a funny face." You say to Ken.

You were the last one in line in the Kiosk, and since it was so crowded, you couldn't really see your own picture until it was your turn up in front. When the lady manning the kiosk looked at you, a bigger smile than she had before appeared on her face.

"You and your little brother are probably one of the better pictures I've seen so fa today, his smile was so cute when he was hanging on behind you." She says with a laugh.

At first you think she had mistaken you with someone else, but as she points at the picture and you look at it, your heart drops almost instantly.

Ken was indeed in the picture behind you, though his whole figure was a little bit hazed as if he wasn't all completely there.

"Sorry about how he looks, the cameras can be a bit iffy with the water and all, I have to remember to tell my manager to get it checked out." She remarks.

"N-No it's fine! Say how much is that picture?" You quickly stammer while taking out your wallet.



I didn't do anything wrong did I...." Ken meekly says while the two of you sit on a bench as you look at the picture before you.

"No, not at all! It's just I didn't think you would actually show up on the picture. Though honestly I think it made it all the much better, the lady was right you did have a pretty dumb face while going down." You laugh trying to change the mood.

"Not as dumb as yours, look how scared you look!" Ken replies with a smile while pointing at your face.

Putting the picture away, you get up from the bench and give your arms a stretch.

"Well we still got a lot of time to kill today with all these rides, we got to get as many done as we can before we leave." You say while pulling out your pamphlet map.

"Yeah, I want to ride this one next! Someone at school told me that it was pretty fun and the lines aren't that long either!." Ken says with eagerness as he points to one of the attractions on the map.

"Well let's get to it then." You say, putting the map back into your pocket.

Off the two of you were, enjoying the rest of your day with the park that was before you.
