Woohoo!! Very happy because I didn't slack off today! I wrote the beginning of this last night and this morning I got up and typed that up then finished this story.  I'm not a big Troyella fan, but even I like this one.

They were going to Florida for her cousin’s wedding, which was taking place two days after his birthday. As a birthday present to him, she had put together a Disney World vacation for them. Little did she know, he had found out about the gift and had made his own plans for their time at the resort.

It wasn’t until the week before they were leaving for the wedding that she revealed the surprise trip to him and he had successfully feigned surprise. It certainly wasn’t his dream vacation destination, but it would be one they would never forget.

----------------

Troy and Gabriella arrived in Orlando, Florida the day before his birthday and took the bus to the main Disney World Resort. It was early afternoon when they arrived, so after checking into their hotel room, they changed into their swim suits and headed down to the pool to relax for the rest of the afternoon.

They retired to their room to shower and get ready for dinner, but ultimately decided they were too tired to leave the room again, so they ordered room service. They dined at the small table on their balcony, taking in the gorgeous views and the sounds below. When it grew dark, they watched the fireworks show from the Magic Kingdom then retired to bed.

They woke up early the next morning and, after dining on waffles from the hotel’s restaurant, they boarded a bus and headed to the park.

It reminded them of Disneyland, a place they frequented every few weeks, but it was different enough to capture their fascination.

Walking around with his hand holding hers, Troy tried to keep his heart rate normal even though he was extremely nervous about tomorrow. He wasn’t sure why the nerves were hitting him now, he hadn’t felt this nervous when he had made the decision to follow Gabriella to California three years ago and what he had planned was just the next logical step.

They ate lunch at one of the restaurants in the park and he was surprised at the end of the meal by the delivery of a birthday cake with his name on it. Apparently, he wasn’t the only one who had called upon the staff of the park for a special event.

The rest of the day was spent wandering around the park, checking out the stores, meeting the characters and riding the rides. They had dinner at another little restaurant then checked out a parade before heading to the Cinderella’s Castle to watch the fireworks.

They took the bus back to the resort and showered before heading to bed. He tried to fall asleep, but he was too anxious for the next day he couldn’t. When he finally did fall asleep, it felt like the alarm on his phone went off five minutes later.

Ever so quietly, he climbed out of bed and grabbed his clothes for today and went to take a shower. He couldn’t wake her up, because if he did, his whole plan would be ruined. He left the room fifteen minutes later and headed down to the lobby. As prearranged with the hotel manager, he climbed into the back of a waiting cab and headed to the park early to put the final preparations together.

----------------

Gabriella woke up to a knock on the door shortly after 10am. She grabbed a robe and pulled it on before walking over to the door and peaking through the peephole to find a waiter standing outside the door with a tray. She opened the door a crack and said, “I think you have the wrong room, I didn’t order anything.”

“Mr. Bolton did,” the waiter replied.

“Oh,” Gabriella said. She opened the door the rest of the way and let him into the room. She grabbed a tip from her purse and held it out to him.

“Mr. Bolton did that too,” the waiter said. “Have a good day.”

He left her standing in the middle of the hotel room confused.

Shaking off her confusion, Gabriella walked over to the cart and lifted the dome up, revealing an envelope with her name on it where the food should have been.

Curious, she picked up the envelope and opened it up:

Dear Gabriella,
It is because I love you that I have arranged for a scavenger hunt for you today. Your first clue is in the hotel dining room, where your breakfast is waiting for you.
Love,
Troy

Excited, Gabriella quickly got ready for the day then headed down to the restaurant to get her first clue. She told the hostess who she was then was escorted to a table by a window and promptly served fresh waffles with strawberries and whipped cream on top. She ate them quickly and was given another envelope.

I’m sure you’re curious as to where your scavenger hunt will begin, so I’ll direct you there now. Your meal has been already paid for, so leave the restaurant and go to the front of the hotel, a car will be waiting for you.

Gabriella grabbed her bag and headed for the front of the hotel. She froze when she saw a limo waiting out front with the driver holding a sign that had her name written on it. She told him who she was then climbed into the back of the limo.

The drive was short and when she climbed out of the car, she found herself standing at the front gates of the Magic Kingdom. The driver gave her another envelope that instructed her to use the pass included to get into the park and go to one of the shops they had gone to the day before.

Troy’s envelopes led her all throughout the park and with each one she began to realize he had known about her surprise birthday present to him before she had told him.

Unbeknownst to Gabriella, Troy followed her around the park dressed in a disguise. He watched in amusement as she excitedly tore open each envelope then rubbed her chin as she read the clues to determine where she was headed next. Troy headed to the final location when she got to the second to last envelope, which sent her to meet Tinkerbell and the other Fairies.

A huge fan of Tinkerbell since she was a child, Gabriella nearly passed out when her beloved character handed over a gold envelope and told her that it was the last one. Gabriella tore through the envelope and pulled out the final clue:

A slipper made of glass is just a shoe, and dreamers never make the dream come true.

Gabriella immediately recognized the clue as a quote from Roger and Hammerstein’s Cinderella and knew where she was going: Cinderella’s Castle. She wanted to run there, but because of the warm Florida afternoon, she forced herself to walk quickly instead.

Arriving at the castle, she looked around for Troy, but didn’t see him. She was pulling out her cell phone to call him when a park staff member walked up to her and asked, “Gabriella Montez?”

She nodded and the staff member asked him to follow her into the castle. She followed wide eyed and soon found herself standing in the suite inside of Cinderella’s Castle. She moved to the window shaped like a glass slipper and looked out at the park below.

She turned to ask the staff member where Troy was, but her mouth closed when she found Troy standing there instead of the park member.

Her eyes grew wide as he knelt down on one knee and pulled a black velvet box from his pocket.

“Gabriella Montez, I love you and I can’t picture my life without you in it, will you marry me?”

With tears streaming down her cheeks, she nodded and held her right hand to her mouth as he took a small diamond ring out of the box and slid it on to her finger.

Standing up, he brushed her tears from her checks before lowering his lips to hers.

“I love you,” he whispered.

“I love you, too,” she replied.

He could tell she was itching to explore the suite, so he let her go and said, “Take a look around.”

“This place is amazing,” she said, taking a step towards the bathroom but freezing when she saw their bags sitting in the closet. “Are we staying the night here?” He nodded. “What? How did you manage that?”

“They offered it,” he shrugged.

“When did you find out about my surprise for you?” She asked.

“Somebody called the apartment to verify it,” he confessed. “And I didn’t want to do the typical holiday or your birthday proposal thing and when I found out we were coming here, I thought it would be the perfect place.” He smiled. “It took a few days to get a hold of the right person, but when I did, things just started happening. Heck, I didn’t even know we were going to get to stay here until this morning.”

“Well it was beyond anything I ever imagined,” she smiled.

They explored the rest of the suite together then took turns showering and changing clothes. They had dinner in one of the restaurants nearby and watched the fireworks before returning to their suite for the night.

Waiting for them was a bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and a card congratulating them on their engagement. They sipped their champagne and ate their chocolate covered strawberries while relaxing in the large bathtub.

Feeling the romance in the air, she slid into his lap and pressed her naked body against his, capturing his lips with hers. They made out in the bathtub for awhile before they climbed out and he carried her to one of the beds. He slid on a condom then slid into her, rocking his body against hers and as they kissed. Nearing their releases, he quickened his pace and soon called out her name. She came after him, breathing heavily.

Too tired to do more than move to the other bed, they slipped under the covers and fell asleep in each others arms.
