Rock Star Makeover, Part 5
 
Authors note: I'm not sure if not supplying a summary is annoying people. If it is, let me know, okay? I'm sorry that this chapter is so short.
 

The next morning, we were woken early by a message from the front desk, saying there was a message for us. We dressed, and went down The message turned out to be from Cathy, and it said, “Here is everything you will need for a good time at Disneyland. There is also an outfit for Gabbi included.”

The outfit turned out to be a copy of Cinderella’s dress.

She changed into it, and I said, “Wow. You really look like a princess.”

“Maybe. But if I am, its because I have got my Prince Charming already.” .

We went to the park, and found out that the tickets were V.I.P., and included having our own tour guide and front of the line at every ride we wanted. One of the coolest moments was when we were having lunch, and a whole section of trees and flowers suddenly lifted up to reveal a stage underneath. They then took kids from the audience to “fight” Darth Vader with lightsabers. They looked they had a blast. I sure did watching them.

The other cool thing was just watching Gabbi be a princess. Everyone, not just park employees complimented her on her outfit, and every time they did, her smile got a little bigger. The day ended with the Fantasmic fireworks show. It includes using water as a screen to show videos on. Gabbi watched beside me with her arm around my waist, my arm on her shoulder, and her mom holding on to her other hand.

It was a moment to treasure, forever.

Finally, it was time to leave, and we made our slow way back to hotel for one last sleep.

The next morning, we had a leisurely breakfast, and packed up for the trip home. Gabbi looked rather sad, so I asked her, “Are you okay?”

She managed a sad smile, and said, “I will be. I guess I’m a little nervous about going back to school Monday.”

“Why nervous?” I asked.

“Because I want to go back as I am. I don’t want to have to go back to pretending I’m a boy.”

“You will go back as Gabbi, honey.” Her mom said.

“You mean it mom?”

“Sweetie, for the last week I’ve had a chance to really see Gabrielle in public. Not only are you happier, healthier, and a nicer person to be around....”

“Thanks mom.”

“Let me finish. I have also watched how others treat you. Not one person thought you were a boy in a dress. I.... I’m less scared for you now. Yes, you might have trouble with people who remember Gavin, and so you will still have to be careful. But I know now how much it means to you to try. So you have my support.”

Gabbi gave her mom a big hug, and said, “Thanks!”

We finished packing, and called for our ride. Soon, we were going through the airport procedures, and boarded our flight home. Once we were on board, Gabbi looked at me, and said, “Now, its my turn to ask. You okay, Noah?”

“I’m fine, Gabbi. I just realized I haven’t spent a lot of time this week thinking of my own family. I hope they’re okay.”

“I’m sure they’re fine, Noah. I know you’ve been phoning every night.” Gabbi’s mom said.

‘Yeh. But also, its gonna be a bit weird to go back to school after all this.” I said.

“You’ll be okay. After all, you got me with you.” Gabbi said.

“That I do, Gabbi, that I do.” I smiled.

Once we got back to our hometown, I found my own family waiting for us, along with Gabbi’s dad. They had a banner saying “Welcome home.”Hugs were exchanged, and we all went to the restaurant in the airport to share stories.

“We had a pretty quiet week, Noah.” My mom said.

“Speak for yourself.” My brother said, “I found a girlfriend. I’ll introduce you to her tomorrow.”

“I’m happy for you, Adam.” I said, “I’m sure I’ll like her.”

I then told them all about our trip. Gabbi jumped in to add her own story, and we showed pictures we had taken. Finally, I must have been yawning, because my mom said, “It looks like you’re pretty tired Noah. time to go home, I think.”

“Kay, mom.”

I gave Gabbi a hug, and then said, “See you tomorrow, Gabbi.”

“Night, Noah. Sweet dreams.”

“Only if they are of you .”

That got me a big kiss that lasted until my mom cleared her throat.

“Come on, Romeo.” She said, and took me by the hand.

“Bye Gabbi, Love you.” I said as I walked away.

“Love you too” I heard her say, and then we were out of range.

I was three quarters asleep by the time I got home.
