“Peter, will you please quit pouting?”

The close-knit group of six slowly wound their way through the busy queue of It’s a Small World. Arms tightly folded across his chest, Peter hung back from the two sets of parents, ever-loyal Catie by his side. “Don’t see why all of us have to go.”

“I expected that attitude from Catie, not Peter.” Adam had to hide a grin behind his hand as he mumbled to his wife. Before he turned to the sullen boy he managed to straighten out his face. “Hey, I’m not thrilled to have to ride this either, but it’s what we discussed last night.”

“After Catie’s bad dream, you went along with the decision that we would all ride with her the first time.” Personally, Lance agreed with the reason behind Adam’s lack of enthusiasm, but he also knew the adults had to present a united front. If the kids sensed any sign of weakness, they would pounce. Once Peter and Catie figured out how to find the next clue, the group would break up and help them accomplish whatever they needed to do. He also knew Wolf was stationed at the back of Small World’s show building, watching the exits and keeping an eye out for Omah.

Peter let out an unconvinced huff of air and glanced sideways at Catie to see what she thought about all of this. He discovered that her eyes were wide and her face betrayed an air of anxiousness as she stood closer to him than she usually did. “It’ll be okay, Catie.” Realizing how hard she was trying to hide her distress, he finally relaxed his obstinate stance to help with her needs. A dream’s only a dream but she obviously took this one seriously. “We’ll make sure nothing bad happens.”

At the sound of his voice next to her ear, Catie broke out of her trancelike stare. She had fixated on the boatloads of guests who bumped around the narrow channel on their way into the attraction. After a tiny shiver, she gave a small nod and tried to smile. “I know. I’m just being stupid.”

Peter put an arm up to give her a hug, but let it drop back to his side instead. No need to get mushy. “You’re not stupid. You’re just a girl!”

The jibe worked as she gave his arm a punch. Seeing his grin, she knew he was just teasing her. The anxious lines on her face disappeared when she gave him a smile that was tinged with a little competitive spirit. “Just a girl, huh? Well, we’ll just see who finds the next clue first, won’t we?”

Listening in without appearing to be listening, the parents gave a silent, united sigh of relief. Worried about Catie, they all were glad to see her return to her usual cheerful self. Plus, they were tired of Peter’s cranky attitude.

“Can Catie and I at least have the front row of the boat to ourselves?”

“You want us all to huddle in the fifth row, buddy? I know! We can pretend we don’t know you.
