Prince Eric walked into the entrance of It's a Small World. This was to be his first ride in the park. He was able to assess from the guide he had been given that it was about all the countries of the world, and that it was accompanied by music. It already sounded interesting to him, so he decided to try it out. He got into line and looked around. He almost jumped when he saw a mouse in front of him. What's more, she was talking! Eric supposed he shouldn't be surprised since he had come in contact with singing sea animals. Deciding to be polite, Eric nodded to the mouse. "Hi there."

"Oh, hi," she answered the young man behind her. "We haven't met, have we? My name's Gadget. And this is my friend Wiggins."
The little mouse was in a chipper mood and was talking pretty fast. "Are you new around here?"
<<Hi, Eric, thanks for joining the thread :) >>

( OOC: Hello No problem ) "My name's Gadget. And this is my friend, Wiggins.""It's a pleasure meeting you, Gadget and Wiggins." Eric replied with a smile. "Yes, this is my first trip to the park. This is actually my first ride." He explained. "I heard that the theme was different countries around the world and there was music too so I had to come and see it."

"Boy, are you in for a treat! This is, like, my fourth time in this ride. It's great!"
The line was moving at a pretty good clip, so there wouldn't be much more time for talking. "So, where are you from? Oh, yeah, and what's your name?"

"Boy, are you in for a treat! This is, like, my fourth time in this ride. It's great!"
"Really? It must be a really good ride then." Eric answered, grinning. The line was moving along rather quickly.
"So, where are you from? Oh, yeah, and what's your name?"
"Italy." Eric replied. "Oh, please excuse my manners! I'm Eric." He decided not to give away his royal status at this point. They had only just met after all. He was dressed as a common sailor with a billowy white shirt and navy pants tied with a red sash, so that no one would be able to guess who he was from his clothing.

"Nice to meet you, Eric. I've never been to Italy. But you'll see a little bit of it on this ride."
And soon they were at the end of the ramp and climbing into the boat, all set for another cruise.
Gadget smiled broadly as the boat left the dock and the song started up again.

"Nice to meet you, Eric. I've never been to Italy. But you'll see a little bit of it on this ride."
"You should visit sometime. It's really a wonderful country. There's lots to do--like sailing, dancing, swimming..and the food is delicious." Eric replied. He stopped talking when the boat left the dock and the music started up. "This song is rather catchy, isn't it?" He asked Gadget with a grin.

"Italy sounds great. And I do like Italian food," answered Gadget.
"Oh, yeah. I could just listen to it all day."
She sang along with the ride a little, though her singing voice wasn't all that good. Gadget wondered if they had the song on a CD in the gift shop.
But right now was no time to think about that. There were too many dancing dolls to look at.

"Italy sounds great. And I do like Italian food."
"Really? Have you been to Tony's Town Square on Main Street? My wife and I were there last night and the meal was delicious." Eric replied with a smile.
"Oh, yeah. I could just listen to it all day."
Eric sat back and listened to the song while he watched the dolls dance. Ariel would get a kick out of this. He remembered not too long after they first met when he took her on a tour of his kingdom. She had been fascinated with the simple puppets in the town square. Many people would find this childish, but Eric found it to be rather endearing.

"No, not yet. Golly, talking about restaurants is making me hungry." Maybe Gadget had spent too much time on this ride today.
"Oh, look! I always get a kick out of those Hawaiian dolls on the surfboards." The little mouse was momentarily distracted from her hunger by the cuteness all around her.

"No, not yet. Golly, talking about restaurants is making me hungry."
"Ah, I must admit I'm getting a bit hungry myself." Eric replied. He hadn't eaten lunch yet.
"Oh, look! I always get a kick out of those Hawaiian dolls on the surfboards."
Eric looked at the dolls. They were rather impressive. "I've been to Hawaii once." He answered. He was off on a diplomacy trip and his ship had gotten blown off course. He had enjoyed the islands. The islanders had been very hospitable to Eric and his crew.

All too soon, the ride was over. Gadget exited the boat with a sigh, though it was hard to be sad with that cheerful tune running through your head.
"It sure was nice to meet you, Eric. And thanks for riding with me. I had a great time."

"It sure was nice to meet you, Eric. And thanks for riding with me. I had a great time."
"It was nice meeting you as well, Gadget. It's no trouble at all." Eric replied with a polite smile. "I'll see you around." He waved before exiting the area. He wondered what he should do next. Maybe he'd go on another ride. He was already enjoying himself. He hoped he'd meet up with Ariel soon.

Gadget watched his wander off as she thought about what she should do next. Really, she had nothing planned.
"Hey, Eric, wait a second. Do you wanna ride on something else? Or maybe get a soda?"
The little mouse felt like company, and Eric was a nice guy to be around.

"Hey, Eric, wait a second. Do you wanna ride on something else? Or maybe get a soda?"
Eric turned around to see Gadget and smiled. "Sure. What rides would you recommend?" He had only just arrived and had no idea what he should see next. He hoped Gadget would have some ideas.
