as she leaned forward, holding the map in front of both of them, casey couldn’t stop himself from turning his face, just slightly. ignoring the map for a sliver of a moment, his eyes took in her soft features up close and personal— long lashes, flushed cheeks. a subtle smile took its place on his lips as he quickly glanced back to the map. “ yes, rosie, because that’s what i came here to do. buy tea and then head back to the villa to sip on that all night long like a proper caricature of a brit, ” he rolled his eyes, still grinning from ear to ear as they stood, looking at the map and the buildings around them. after setting her down, he smoothed out his shirt and ran a hand through his hair. “ true adults, huh ? ” his gaze flickered up to her sparkling headband, “ i say we roll with that. though i don’t see what’s wrong with a perfectly normal irish car bomb. ” he nodded, looking up at nearby bar before huffing out a breath, “ we’ll start here. doesn’t feel much like home, but i can pretend after a while. save france for later. ” he gestured towards the bar, “ lead the way. ”

“not what you came here to do? don’t act like you had plans for when you came to disney.” rosie words were stern, though the smile on her lips hinted at them being a joke. “if i remember correctly, you were all complaints before. maybe i scheduled some tea time into our busy day.” her hands moved to adjust the small backpack that was resting over her shoulders. of course she was prepared and had packed enough supplies for the day — for the both of them, of course. “first of all—” she began, moving to stand in front of him, eyes narrowing at him only slightly. “this—...” her hand motioned to her entire outfit before stopping to point at the ears. “is all just a ploy. i have to blend in with the kids an all that. the ears don’t take away from my maturity, thank you very much.” the corners of her lips then tugged up into a smile and her thumbs were sliding under the bands of the backpack. “second of all, normal car bombs are disgusting. nottinghams are made with cider and both look and taste less disgusting. france and japan for later. can’t miss out on the sake OR margaritas in mexico.” with that, she reached for his hand before pulling him toward the bar. “if you really wanna feel like you’re at home, we can get some fish and chips, too.” the last part of the sentence was said with a terrible accent tacked on to it and she turning toward him with a smile on her lips. as the entered the bar, she maneuvered them through the crowds of people before finding an empty spot near the bar. “you still set on the car bomb or are we trying something new?”

sailor hesitated at the theory, her lips pressing into a firm line for a moment. “you know… now that you mention it, that might be a valid concern,” sailor admitted, glancing over her shoulder as though she was actually worried about the possibility. “though, between you and me, i say we wait until our leg of the trip is over to investigate. i don’t want to risk anything. and, besides, new orleans seems like the better place to question creepy magic, anyway.” she loved their friends, she really did. and she was VERY grateful for the effort they had all been putting in, so far, to seem as though they were excited for this part of the trip — even if they WEREN’T — but she was even MORE grateful that she had rosie there to share in her most genuine excitement for everything. after a rough couple of years, to say the very least, there was nothing that sounded better than getting to spend a week basking in the magic and the happiness of feeling like a KID again. “well, we can always strap some people to the roofs of the remaining cars and carry on, if worst comes to worst. but i’m choosing to remain optimistic and hopeful.” she laughed, her entire face lighting up a little more as they entered into magic kingdom, officially, and the castle came into view. “oh, that’s a HARD one. i feel like, for starters at least, splash mountain is ALWAYS a safe bet.”

rosie had no interest in investigating the theory. everyone seemed content enough and that was JUST enough for her to get by. the second she would start to question it is when the boys would start their complaints up again. “ah, you know what? you’re right. new orleans would definitely be the place to look into it. maybe we’ll be able to get the ghost of madame laveau to help us when we get there.” with that, rosie was letting out a short laugh. it was inevitible that their friends would be much more excited for the next leg of the trip and rosie was already preparing herself for that. besides, she was in the most magical place on earth — there’s no need to worry about everyone else while she’s here. “love the optimism, sailor. i’m glad at least one of us has it right now but in the end, it’ll be fine. after the boys get some drinks in them in epcot, they’ll be happier than they thought possible.” which was probably going to be true. toss a few drinks in their friends and soon enough, the complaints would HOPEFULLY turn to praises. “splash mountain it is then!” she practically sang out, making her way toward main street before stopping in front of the confectionary. “OR we could take a pit stop and get some sweets first — what do you think?”

“ well, rosie girl, ” evan sighed, her arm slipping into that of the other girl’s as they strolled through magic kingdom. they both wore their own pair of custom disney ears they’d brought along with them on their heads; rosie had been way excited about this stop, so evan was too, “ we’ve got a whole list of people to meet, and it’s about about — fifteenish years since i’ve been here last, so i really can’t say that i don’t know where anyone is or might be. looks like you’re my tour guide. ” her eyebrows raised, “ for this stop and the next. — who’s up first on our list of princesses to hunt down ? ”

rosie had only ever been to disney once in her entire life. it hadn’t been long ago but if she said that she remembered most of the trip, she would be lying. all of the knowledge she planned to use for this trip came from extensive planning. she even went as far as joining a disney facebook group. “well, i was definitely thinking merida should be one of the first. she doesn’t stay out as long, i guess, so we need to catch her before she leaves.” by now, they were at the end of main street and making their way to the right of the castle. “pooh bear is somewhere over here, too. not a princess but... should be.” a smile formed on her lips at the comment, doing her best to both look at the map on her phone and where she was walking. “there’s also a roller coaster somewhere around here so maybe.. we’ll meet merida and then go on a ride?”

to say the day had been LONG would be an understatement, but he was still happily going strong, trekking along through crowds as they seemed to thin out as it got to be darker out. the first day in orlando had been rough; he was tired and a little too grouchy, but by day two, he’d begun to warm up to the idea that this would be home for the next week. besides, it seemed to make everyone else happy enough. “ am i going in the right direction ? ” he turned his face, looking at rosie out of the corner of his eye. with his next step, he took a moment to adjust his grip under her, making it easier to carry her on his back as they kept moving forward, “ or, i mean— what is the right direction ? ” his eyes squinted at the buildings around them, and he gently set her down after coming to a stop in front of an incredibly english looking pub. “ where are we starting ? ”

with her chin resting against his shoulder and her arms wrapped loosely around his neck, rosie had let out a soft sigh. the day had been spent hopping from park to park and she was a lot more exhausted than she had anticipated. “i think so.” she mumbled, reaching a hand to take her phone out of her back pocket before holding it in front of the both of them, revealing a full map of the park that showed the loop of the countries. “says theres a gift shop right over there that sells an abundance of tea. could make you feel at home and all that.” she pointed toward a small hut with a ‘twinnings’ sign on the front. “OR we could go to the bar over there and start this journey like the true adults we are.” the sparkly ears on her head and disney themed shirt contradicted those words. “can get a sheriff of nottingham — a less disgusting car bomb.” rosie knew she would barely make it through three countries without getting too drunk, so she knew she would have to pace herself through the countries. “france is also just over that bridge if you wanted to keep going.”

“i can’t believe we actually DID IT,” sailor admitted, eyes focused on the entrance to magic kingdom in front of her as she looped her arm from through rosie’s. “IT, of course, being the fact that we somehow managed to drag all the guys here and — ” her voice dropped a little quieter, glancing from side to side quickly as though she was afraid of her next words being heard, “ — and without any NOTICEABLE complaining!” she had to admit, she’d been a little wary about how successful their leg of the trip would be with how much the guys had whined when they first alluded towards it in the group chat, but she was decidedly more optimistic about it now that they were here. “now, all we have to do is make sure that kiv doesn’t try to get casey in a cinderella dress, and i think we’ll be golden!” 

rosie had been undeniably stressed about their leg of the trip. very few people seemed to give off a reaction that was even close to excited for what they had planned. but, thankfully, most of them seemed to have come around. “i’m kind of concerned—...” rosie began, lips pursing together before turning to look at sailor. “you think they’re actually our friends and haven’t been replaced by imposters? ‘cause i am in genuine SHOCK that they are all actually going along with all of this.” with that, she was letting out a short laugh before directing her attention to the main gate. it didn’t take long for the pair to get through and rosie was quick to make her way under the railroad and into magic kingdom. “oh, we can only hope she doesn’t try to get him in a dress. i think casey would take his car and run if that happens.” hopefully they could get through the week with minimal complaints and no escapees. “so, where to first? splash mountain? or are you a space mountain kind of girl?”

“ oh, hold on. i didn’t shun you anywhere. i simply picked a different second for once, ” his shoulders lifted in a shrug as he looked back over at her, “ c’mon. walsh is cool. too cool. had to take the chance i had in front of me for some bonding because otherwise, i might’ve had to resort to bribery, and that’s just depressing. ” he leaned forward, lowering his voice as though he were telling her a secret, “ besides. i didn’t really feel like being bossed around for sixteen hours straight. trust me, i did it for your sake. and mine. ” he thew a wink in her direction, quick and easy, before sitting up straight and turning back to face the front. a low rumble of laughter came from his chest, head hanging for a moment before looking up to the sky. “ you know, rosaline bordeaux, for someone so bloody cute, you sure do have a relentless attitude. i’m a bit tired of it, and i might be inclined to throw you off the back of this thing if you keep it up, ” still, a sickeningly sweet smile pulled at the corners of his lips as he felt her arms wrap around him, heart faintly skipping a beat as she did so. “ they sure did. just wait ‘til we get to vegas. matias and i very well might not make it out of sin city, ” sweet turned to wicked as he thought about it and his fingers tightened around the handlebars. without warning, he revved the engine and felt the ski shoot forward, practically grazing across the water as it hopped along choppy waves. laughter fell from his lips at the pure rush of adrenaline each time the vessel managed to go even slightly airborne. mist from the lake splashed up against bare skin, “ still alive back there ? ”

rosie let out a soft hum, nodding her head as she let his words echo in her head a few times. “no, i think i was definitely shunned.” his next comment had a sigh leaving her mouth and she was finally giving up the attitude about the trip. “fine. glad you’re making friends without having to bribe them, i guess.” even if it did leave her in the back of the car. “i wouldn’t have bossed you around for all sixteen hours. i slept most of the trip anyway. found a real comfy sweatshirt in the back and i was out.” her eye brows perked up at his next comment, lips pursing together. “sounds like a whole lot of talk, o’neil, ‘cause i know you would never do anything of the sort.”  her words rang with a small hint of a challenge in it. she was only partially able to believe it. a large part of her thought that he would, in fact, toss her off the jet ski. most of the stops on this trip only had danger written all over them for the group. this stop might end up being one of the most relaxing in comparison. as the ski shot forward, her arms tightened around him, ensuring she didn’t actually fall off the back of the jet ski. the list of people she would trust to do anything like this was extremely small. but, for the first time in a long time, she was having fun. it was also nice to see casey having fun in a way that wouldn’t get him in trouble. “nope.” she replied, tilting her head up to direct her words toward his ear. “died about 50 feet back, actually.”

“ why do i have the feeling that just about every car had one person ready to eject themselves by means of flying through a window, ” evan laughed, stirring her own chocolate shake with a spoon as she looked over at rosie. it was no surprise that they’d managed to find an ice cream shop that had been untouched by time–– or rather looked like it had been untouched by time. “ it is kind of nice that each of us are ‘in charge’ of one stop and get to be along for the ride the rest of the time. then again, leaving vegas in rowan’s hands was a bold choice, ” her eyebrows raised, “ i’m excited to see what you’ve got planned for orlando, though. ” evan leaned forward, taking a slow drink of the sweet shake in front of her, nose crinkling at just how painfully sweet it was. “  ah, it was pretty easy, actually. beck moped about a buzzfeed quiz that told him he wasn’t going to space for a little while, but matias managed to refrain from throwing himself out of the window. so all in all it was ––… easy. which worries me about the rest of the trip. i just hope i don’t have to get to the i-need-an-eject-button point. ”

“i feel like the whole ‘wanting to eject self from car’ thing will be a very common occurrence during this trip. it’s kind of an absurd time to be cooped up in a car with everyone.” and, it was. rosie always liked road trips. she just preferred the ones with less people and more room for a bit more comfort. “plus, the trip to orlando is about half the time it took to get here. “all of us going to vegas together in the first place was kind of a bold choice, honestly. it’ll be a miracle if we all make it out alive.” planning things was always one of rosie’s best skills. so, at the mention of her part of the trip, her eyes lit up. “oh i am so excited. clearly we’ll be making a stop at disney and we made sure to get some good reservations. the boys? they might hate us after this but it’ll be worth it.” she was sure there would be a good amount of complaining throughout the trip but that was to be expected. “ah, of course he did. he should have listened to you on that one and not taken it. glad yours was easy, though. you’ve got a lot more patience than the rest of us so i think the eject button might not be a part of your future.”

rosie had her back against the red booth, a hand absentmindedly mixing the straw around the shake sitting in front of her. “don’t get me wrong or anything––…” she began, leaning forward to take a sip of the strawberry shake. “but after about hour... eight or so in that car, i almost jumped out of the window or hid at a rest stop or something.” the concept of road trips were nice. the actual execution was incredibly annoying, especially considering you could fly in half the time. “but i don’t remember the last time i’ve been able to just spend time with everyone and not have to worry about a single thing.” she had even taken it upon herself to sleep in today– something that she hadn’t done in months. now, she’s been able to take a breathe of some fresh air. “maybe i’m just being dramatic about it all though. was your ride as bad as mine was?”

“ you still alive back there ? ” casey stole a quick glance over his shoulder to check on rosie before tightening his grip around the handles of the vehicle beneath them. “ how i talked you into getting onto this thing with me after a near day of me driving yesterday is beyond me, ” he grinned, shaking his head, “ then again, how i even wanted you to come with after a near day of your backseat driving is beyond me as well. ” he slowed down to a drifting pace, careful not to shift his weight too much as he looked back at her again. the ghost of a mischievous smile twitched at the corners of his lips as he lowered his voice, looking her directly in the eye. “ okay now listen carefully and refraid from rolling your eyes, ” he said softly, lopsided grin growing with each word, “ we’re about to make some really intense waves and then we’re going to go over them very, very quickly. and unlike your dad’s porsche, this doesn’t have seatbelts, so i’m going to need you to hold on real tight. ” he turned back to the steering handles, wrapping his fingers around them, “ you know, for safety purposes. ”

rosie’s attention was on the life vest wrapped around her, hands fidgeting on the straps to make sure it was secure as the jet ski had slowed down. she was quick to narrow her eyes at him, shaking her head before speaking. “i wouldn’t have been a backseat driver if you didn’t shun me to the back seat.” her lips pursed into a line and she shrugged her shoulders. “i could have just been a passenger seat driver and it would have been much more enjoyable, i’m sure.” the words came out much more light-heartened then they would have yesterday. a nap and a break from being in a cramped car changed her mood completely, which she was sure most of her friends were incredibly thankful for. his next statement had her doing her best not to roll her eyes. clearly, he knew her far too well. “thank you, casey, for explaining to me how the jet ski works. the seatbelt thing was really riveting information.” and, despite the sarcasm laced into her words, she listened to him. she slid forward on the seat, arms wrapping around his torso as she did so. “we really catered to you by coming to a giant, outdoor playground, huh?”

The most important lesson I’ve learned so far is to strive for happiness, not perfection. Striving for perfection in anything you do is a waste of energy because it’s impossible.

“ i resent that, ” casey pointed one ringed finger at her, looking down with narrowed eyes, “ try you might, rosaline, but we all know you love being around me. ” his lips settled into a smug smirk, shadows of his dimples dotting his cheeks, “ everyone does. ” he threw an overly confident wink in her direction, knowing that with rosie, things like that didn’t work. something about the makeup of casey o’neill–– perfectly messy hair, crooked smile, unfounded confidence, charming accent, and looming height–– was at times overwhelming, but never for rosie. never that she showed, anyway. “ you’re a bit of a cliche, you know, ” he said, moving over to the driver’s side, “ little golden girl, consistently acting out against unknowing parents. tell me, did you tell your dad exactly who you were hanging out with today ? ” he gave her a knowing look before ducking into the driver’s side; of course she hadn’t. the grumbling he carried on while adjusting the seat to accommodate his leg length was interrupted by his inability to hold back a laugh. she was calling him out, and she was right. “ well that’s a bit harsh, in’it ? glad you think you’ve got jokes now, but keep ‘em to a minimum when i’m being the driver’s seat of a car your father thinks you’re driving, ”  he gave her a look before throwing the car in reverse and literally skidding out of the driveway for emphasis. he was skilled behind the wheel–– at times reckless and a little obnoxious, but skilled nonetheless–– it it was apparent in the way he sank so easily into the front seat. “ putting the top down at the speed we’ll be going would do some serious damage to your hair, ” he sighed, eyeing the road that would take them off of the provincetown peninsula and towards the mainland, “ don’t know. boston. salem. fall river. hell, new york city is like five hours from here. how far do you feel like driving ? ”

all rosie offered was a quick shrug of her shoulders. if you asked her when she was even the slightest bit intoxicated, she would tell you that he was, in fact, her best friend and she did enjoy being around him–– more than she would like to admit. “oh, i’m a cliche now?” she questioned, the corners of her lips tugging up into a smirk. she was never necessarily acting out against her parents–– just with-holding information to save them some stress. “yes, of course i told them.” she began, waving a hand in the air to dismiss such an absurd claim. “i just told them i was with evan––... besides, it benefits both of us. if i said i was with you, you wouldn’t be driving this right now.” her hand tapped the dashboard before leaning back into the passenger seat. “that being said, i think the correct words you’re looking for are ‘you’re welcome.’” a smug smile of her own formed on her lips at how defensive her got over the joke. “please don’t even act like my jokes aren’t hilarious. the pinnacle of your day, even. do what you want with the car––... my dad will just hire someone to dispose of you or something.” surprisingly enough, rosie had managed to get over whatever nervousness came with riding along in a car with casey. the first time was just flat out stressful but now, rosie trusted him completely. “oh, you weren’t kidding when you said distraction, huh?” she questioned, pausing to think over the options. after letting out a soft hum, rosie turned to look at him. her elbow rested against the center console and her chin was placed in the palm of her hand. “a slice of new york pizza doesn’t sound all that bad.” she began, words coming out almost sing-songy. “you willing to spend give hours in the car with me?”

“ jesus, fuck, ” casey swore under his breath as he glanced through a window to see rosie leaning against a pristine new porsche. dimples caved into his cheeks as he pulled the door open and practically skipped down the steps. there wasn’t a single scenario in which he wouldn’t be absolutely elated to see rosie bordeaux waiting for him in the driveway, but the keys dangling from her fingertips were icing on the cake. a low whistle passed his lips as he shamelessly took in the sight, catching the keys without looking away from the shiny paint job in front of him. “ i say i think you’re out to give me a bloody heart attack, bordeaux, ” sidled up to her with a sly grin, grateful for a chance to spend the day with her and only her. aside from matias, she was–– without a doubt–– his closest friend––… and likely the only person he’d ever brave the depths of louisiana for. “ you know it’s incredibly like you to roll up barking orders without so much as a proper hello, casey. i missed you, casey. it’s nice to see you again, casey, ” he reached passed her, running his fingers along the spotless hood, “ though i’m not going to complain. just this once. ” he looked down at her, indexing finger hooking underneath her chin and lifting her face towards his. “ it’s nice to see you again, rosaline. i’d be honored to play both chauffeur and distraction today. hope your old man’s in good health because if he finds out i’m the one driving this thing, he might have a heart attack, ” his eyebrows raised as he stepped around her and slid into the driver’s seat. “ christ, how do you live with such short legs, ” he mumbled, adjusting the seat so he fit behind the steering wheel. the sound of the engine turning over brought a wider smile to his face, “ what’dya say we blow off p-town for the day ? ”

there wasn’t a part of her that was surprised about the amount of excitement casey was showing toward the car. she expected nothing less. his comment about barking orders earned him a roll of her eyes. “woah — relax a little bit, casey. i would hate for you to think i actually enjoy spending time with you—...” her words were laced with sarcasm, eyes narrowing at him before continuing. “don’t want you to get the wrong idea or anything.” despite the words coming out of her mouth, she did miss him and she was sure he knew that. she probably saw him more than most people in the snackpack yet found herself missing him the most. “oh, he’ll be just as fine as long as it gets home in one piece. he doesn’t even need to know you drove it.” her dad probably would have a heart attack if he even knew that casey was in the car with her. when she left the house, she told both her parents she was taking the car to show evan. a little white lie never hurt either of them. rosie moved around the car and to the passenger seat, letting out a soft laugh at his comment about her height. “i’m really glad that your entire arsenal of jokes revolves around everyone being shorter than you. you should try to expand a little bit.” she moved into her passenger seat and reached into the center console to grab her sunglasses before putting them on her head. “i say that’s the best idea i’ve heard in weeks.” she took a second to pull her seatbell around her body before turning toward him. “if you’re into the roof being down, the button is on the left—... i think. my dad also tried to tell me something else about the car but i’m sure it’s fine. you’ll figure it out.” she waved a hand in the air to dismiss the topic. he knew enough about cars, anyway. “so, no provincetown for the day. where to?”
