Tea got off the train, taking a look around. She didn't see Nettie, but it's not possible she got the clue wrong. She stepped a little farther from the train station, keeping her eyes on the crowd. What was Nettie wearing again? She could barely locate a color with all the people rushing around. She turned to see behind her and walked backwards towards the fountain in the center of the town.

"Ouch!" She had bumped into something, or someone, and they pushed her back onto the ground. Tea turned her head up, and saw a grinning strawberry blonde looking down at her. "Hey Tea." Tea stood up and looked at the sad smile on Nettie's face. "Listen—I'm sorry about... running off. It was really childish..." Tea held up a hand and sighed.

"I get it." She grunted and looked around. "Main Street is pretty nice at night, isn't it?" Tea looked around fondly, remembering the hot dogs and cotton candy and the greetings with the various Disney characters from her childhood, and she couldn't help but smile.

"The fireworks are showing in a few minutes, you wanna go?" Nettie held her hand out for Tea to hold, but she didn't budge.

"Sure." Her voice was flat and tense, and Nettie sighed, but off they went down the vertical road of Main Street on their way to Fantasyland.
