“You’ll be fine. I swear,” he assured him. “The Dumbo ride?” Julian raised his eyebrows. “How about Tower of Terror? The Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is hands down one of my favorite rides,” he said with a smile.

“That’s what they all say, I don’t trust it.”  He joked, before giving the other boy a small nod.  “Yes, the Dumbo ride!  I just told you I don’t like the dark, and you named off the two rides that put you in pitch black.  I don’t think you know how this works.”

Julian couldn’t help but laugh at his response. “You’re afraid of riding it?“ He was slightly shocked. “Ahh, it’s not that bad. I’m gonna make it my goal to have you conquer your fear and by the end of it, you’ll be rushing to go on it again.”

Landon threw his hands up, letting out a quiet laugh as he spoke.  “No, no, no.  I don’t do well in the dark, it freaks me out.  And that’s all that ride is, so I’ll pass.  But, hey, if you’re ever feeling a ride with the ol’ Landster, he’s particularly a fan of that Dumbo ride.”

“Yeah, oh god. I know what you mean. I’ll be checking out dat ash if you know what I mean,“ he joked. “But no, it’s great. I always feel bad for the terrified kids whose parents force them to ride it though.”

“Well, I guess I’d rather have you checking out my ass than it getting attacked.  So, I’d say it’s a fair trade, and I hope you enjoy the view.”  He said, giggling as his cheeks turned bright red.  “But, uh, yeah.  I’m one of those people who is terrified to ride it, so I can relate.  I hate watching kids have to ride it, because I know what they’re going through.”

“It’s ok, we may be strangers but I got your back. And I work at the Haunted Mansion. I like to make sure that no one tries to dump ashes,” he laughs.

“Thank you, my back needs all the protection it can get.  There are some crazy people out there, let me tell you.  And that sounds like it’s fun, always has to be a good time when your job is to be on ash patrol.  I can’t say I’d be good at that job.  Freaks me out too much.”

“Ah, nice. I’m sure everyone you do know is glad to have you back. Fresh starts are always nice. I actually started working here a few days ago.”

image

“I can only hope!  I like to think that I wasn’t completely hated by everyone, but who really knows.  And that’s cool, I hope you enjoy it.  It’s a lot of fun, if you let it be.  What exactly do you do?”

julianbro:

“I’m assuming you worked here before?”

“That I did!  I was here for a while, but I barely know anyone here anymore, so I might as well be new at this point.”
