Chapter 8 ❣︎︎ Disney Dreams!
Selena's POV
I was here! At Disney in CA! I was more excited about going on Space Mountain then concurring my first show. I wondered if I could get MJ to ride on a ride with me.
Maybe he would not be able to ride on rides with me due to all the crowds going after him. I would have to ask him later. We had checked into the suite MJ had booked for us here on the Disney hotel.
I did not have to share a room with that messy Suzette for once. I loved sprawling out in the bed by myself. No sister hogging the room. My own messes to worry about not hers. She had a room with Chris. It would be nice to have someone to share a room with. Someone like MJ.
I go over the forms before we decided to go see Disney while we were here. I had a photo shoot with MJ and Disney characters. I was going to take photos with Micky and Minnie.
We were doing a huge parade before the show. This was a huge promotion. And I had not even had the crowd see me yet. MJ sure had a lot of faith in me.
I hoped I had enough faith in myself.
Now the butterflies were jumbling about inside of me.
Could I do?
I close my eyes and imagine myself singing in front of a huge crowd in front of the Disney castle. The crowd cheering me on. My family playing music behind me. My own cheer team. I start to feel better. Less jittery inside. I could do this. This was something I was made to do. I knew it deep within me.
♥☆♥
"SELENA!" Suzette calls out to me.
"In here" I say as I bend over getting my shoes on. She bursts in the room with Chris.
"Space Mountain here we come!" she says with joy.
"No can do yet sis dear" I tell her with a warning.
"Why?" she complains bitterly. I had her the to do list from MJ.
"A parade?" she squeaks.
"Yes, and more" I cheerfully say. "How do I look?" I question her. I turn around for her in my outfit of the day. I was wearing my favorite cherry red skirt and a light white bustier top and a little jacket over it to please dad. Madonna would be pleased.
"I think you always look great" says Suzette with praise in her voice.
"But what will he think? Will he like it?" I worry.
"He will love it. All the guys will" teases Chris.
"Shut up ass" I laugh. We all laugh. I feel less nervous.
Someone knocks on the door. Suzette open the door. MJ comes in. His guards wait behind him. He looked fantastic.
He was wearing a dark red leather jacket and a simple black tee shirt under it. Black slacks. Boots. He made my heart race. His sunglasses rested on top of his head.
♥☆♥
"You ready for your big day Sel?" MJ asks me.
"Nervous but ready" I tell him.
"Come on Sel, Disney waits us" he cheerfully says.
We follow MJ and the guards out. The moment we step foot outside of our rooms we get curious stares. People are trying to rush at MJ. Screaming his name. Some girls cry when they see him.
But they are crying tears of joy. I never saw anything like it. I get curious looks but they do not really know of me yet. After today they all were going to know me.
First up was the press conference there at the castle. Then photos with the characters. I planned on getting MJ to ride at least one ride with me.
We get up there and I never had saw so many people in all my life. My jaw nearly drops. I grab Suzettes hand. Then I am tossed in the front with MJ there. They are left behind me a bit.
Minnie Mouse takes my hand. Micky had MJ. Everyone is cheering for us. MJ makes a speech. Then introduces me. I wave when he calls my name out. The crowd cheers as I force a nervous smile.
Then we go over to pose for photos. It was a little fun. I got Micky to make kissy faces with me. Well blowing kisses my way. Then Minnie Daisy Duck and I pose. It was a lot of fun.
Next, we had the parade. I was getting hot.
♥☆♥
"MJ whew. How do you keep up all day?" I stammer nervously.
They were putting mics and headphones on us getting us ready to get up on the floats. The floats were really high. I never once had ridden in a parade in my life.
This was going to be a new experience for me. Something I was going to have to get used to. What if they asked me later on to be in a Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade? I would love that!
Maybe if this all went well.
MJ helps me up on the float. They had bottled waters waiting for us on the float. The float had fans blowing near us to keep us cooled down and we had a little bit of shade to there. Thank heavens.
"How are you holding up girl?" MJ asks me.
"Good, so far so good" I sigh.
"We are only playing Disney songs on the float. No singing we will wave. And dance with the characters. Getting the crowd ready for the show tonight" says MJ.
"I gotcha. It builds up excitement" I agree. He nods.
"By the end of the day they all will know you" he brags on me. "my beautiful tex mex friend" he brags. I blush now.
He winks at me. Soon the floats begin going. Chris and Suzette were on the float ahead of us with AB. Wow they were with Daisy and Goofy. Some others to. Music blares in my ears. "Its A Small World." to many other Disney great hits.
Finally, it was lunch time. We all went back to our private rooms. Tons of food was waiting for us to dig into. We were famished because we had a light breakfast. So, we were all starving now. We pig out on some cute Disney themed food. I sit at the table with my siblings. MJ was in his room. My bet maybe taking a rest to.
"Ah I can hear my own thoughts. No screaming" I sigh as I lean back in a comfy chair there in the room.
"SELENA" screams Suzette making me jump.
"What the hell was that for" I laugh I slap her on the arm.
"Did not want you to miss the screaming crowds is all" she giggles. I chase her around the room hitting her with pillows.
"Girls" mutters Chris. I whack him with a pillow to.
"Ladies...." coughs MJ.
"Hey" I giggle as Suzette and I simmer down.
"Want to go on Space Mountain. We have access to first ride in we have no waiting on any rides before the show" offers MJ.
"YES!!!" squeals Suzette with joy. She was as bad as a kid.
"Don't mind her. She has never been here before" I tease.
"How about Haunted Mansion?" offers MJ.
"YES!" I say with joy. "I have always wanted to ride that" I exclaim.
"How about the Dumbo ride?" says Chris. We groan.
We head out. Then ride so many rides I feel like puking, I ride on them with MJ. We slide into each others side. Giggling like kids. I never saw him so carefree. Enjoying himself with me. We were having a blast. Of course, I saw people taking our photos to off and on in the park.
Soon it was concert time.
I went on first. We did fun songs. Not my song first. I sang ones the crowd knew. They sang with me. I did the Pointer Sisters songs. And many more discos. They were dancing in the crowds. Soon they chanted my name. It felt wonderful. Then I did my own song. I was so scared.
♥☆♥
"Late at night when all the world is sleeping.....I stay up and think of you...." I begin to sing.
"And I wish on a star that some where you are thinking of me to" I hear MJ sing behind me. He surprises me. The crowd cheers for us.
"And there is no where in the world I'd rather be. Then here in my room. Dreaming about you and me" I finish the duet with him.
"SELENA EVERYONE! OUR NEW STAR!" screams MJ. "give her another round" he calls out. They cheer my name.
"Selena that was beyond amazing" Suzette exclaims when we are back stage and MJ is singing.
"They loved you Sel" AB tells me.
"They did huh?" I giggle.
"You and MJ blew my mind" says Chris.
"Wow!" I sigh. "my dreams are coming true. Thanks to MJ" I sigh. "thanks to Michael"
I meant every word I said. He made me a star. Though deep down I knew there was something in me all along. But he found it deep within me.
