MC giving RFA+Minor trio a gift for Valentine's day please! :D

I’ve tweaked this a little bit so it’s also a returned gift!! I hope you like it!! This is my second Valentine’s day request <3

RFA + Minor Trio Valentine’s Gift Exchange Headcanons

Yoosung Kim Valentine’s Gifts

You didn’t have to think too hard to decide on what to get Yoosung for Valentine’s Day, he had been complaining that he needed a new headset for a few weeks but had already spent his student budget on new limited edition LOLOL skins. The poor boy had already been reduced to instant ramen to afford these luxuries. You didn’t know too much about which sort of headset he’d prefer, so you just got him a decently branded one that had good reviews and hoped it would work.

You also wanted to get him some extra things to go in his giftbag, so you got him a new t-shirt tand some cute strawberry heart shaped Pocky, which you definitely didn’t buy with the pure intention of playing the Pocky Game with him. Of course not.

Yoosung would have put quite a bit of effort into thinking about what to get you for Valentine’s Day, since he didn’t want to screw up and be a bad boyfriend. He even asked Zen for advice, but didn’t think the bold, extravagant declaration of love really suited him.

Yoosung decided to go for the traditional route and gift you a little charm bracelet, a small bouquet of red roses and cook a meal for you. Of course, it was his special omurice, packed with extra love because it was Valentine’s day. He’d picked out the charm bracelet online, it was a little silver one with a sparkly star charm on it.

Zen/Hyun Ryu Valentine’s Gifts 

If Zen knew anything, it was dramatic romance. He’ll pour Valentine’s clichés on you like it’s nobody’s business. Zen buys you a chunky bouquet of red roses, a big box of chocolate (he doesn’t usually eat chocolate because he doesn’t want the sugar to affect his skin, so he makes sure the box is extra big so he can cheekily pick at a few that he likes) and takes you out for an evening meal.

When you get home after the dinner, Zen will pick you up outside the door and carry you bridal style over the threshold, just because he wants you to feel like a princess in his arms.

You can also bet that Zen is going to sing for you for Valentine’s Day. He’d have spent a while picking out the song, and depending on what he thought was best, it would be 1) Your favourite song, 2) A dramatic love ballad from a musical he’d been in, or 3) a joking strip-tease song.

For your gifts, you’d have gotten Zen some new skincare products that he’d been looking at. You knew how much he loved his sheet masks so you’d brought him a fun selection to have a try of. Some of your favourite evenings with Zen were spent doing skincare on one another, so you wanted an excuse to do that more.

For his big gift, you got him a ticket for two to go for an all-exclusive spa day trip. He was flustered that you’d spent so much money on him, but you assured him it was for the both of you to spend time together and to enjoy!

Jaehee Kang Valentine’s Gifts

Valentine’s Day wasn’t a holiday that Jaehee had off from work if it was a weekday, so you were really lucky this year that it had fallen on a Sunday. She’d gotten all of her work done late on the Saturday night in order to have the day free to spend with you.

You got Jaehee a fancy new coffee maker that she had had her eye on for a while, but couldn’t justify to herself since her old one was still in fine, working condition. You’d imported some special coffee beans for her to try too. You also felt like it was important to give Jaehee some flowers too, since you knew sometimes she felt so dull and drab because of how Jumin made her dress for work, she deserved to feel pretty too.

Jaehee got you tickets to a musical show you’d been wanting to see, but had missed the tickets for. She’d seen that a pair of them had gone up for sale second hand and had quickly snatched the sale in order to get them for you. It wasn’t a show that she’d have usually seen, but she’s very excited to get to watch it with you.

Jumin Han Valentine’s Gifts 

To start, you’d have gently implied to Jumin about setting a budget for Valentine’s Day, because God knows he didn’t know the value of money sometimes and you felt bad knowing you couldn’t match whatever he was going to spend. You didn’t want Valentine’s to be about money, but about your feelings for one another.

You told the chef on Saturday night that he wasn’t needed for breakfast since you wanted to make breakfast for Jumin yourself. You made him a spread of sweet pancakes with syrup and fruit and hand dripped his coffee yourself, taking the time to decorate a little foam Elizabeth the 3rd on top of it. You’d also made him lunch to take to work, and put a little note in it saying that you and Elizabeth missed him whilst he was gone. 

Jumin had arranged for the two of you to go to an extremely overpriced restaurant for dinner, which is where you were exchanging gifts. You have Jumin a pair of cufflinks engraved with yours and his initials, which he immediately swapped the ones he was currently wearing for. 

Coincidentally, Jumin also gave you jewellery, it was a beautiful necklace with far too many diamonds in. He clipped it around your neck, agreeing to himself that his selection was correct as it looked beautiful on you. He also added that there was another gift waiting for you at home, since it would have been inappropriate to bring to the restaurant. 

He had gotten you a set of lingerie to wear for the night, obviously. 

Saeyoung Choi Valentine’s Gifts 

Seven was a hit at heart, and a car guy, so the choice was obvious: you were going to get him a giant Hot Wheels tracks with all the extra decorations. You spent far too much money on it, but knowing how happy it would make him made it entirely worth it. 

You thought he was going to cry when he unwrapped it, and he immediately set it up and spent hours making the track and remaking it, adding extra obstacles, making the car go over Saeran’s head, loop, jump through flames- everything. He was so happy with your gift that he almost forgot to give you your own gift. 

Which he then changed into- 

Seven was going to be your maid for the day, outfit and all. He explained his gift by telling you he knew how much effort it must be to look after him, so he was going to look after you for a change, and ‘look good while doing it’. 

He also got you a bunch of imported snacks that you had really been wanting to try, but couldn’t work out the proxy or shipping to be able to do it. You were swimming in snacks, you didn’t know where they were going to go.

V/Jihyun Kim Valentine’s Gifts

Always a romantic at heart, V would have put a lot of effort into your Valentine’s gifts and spent a lot of time considering it, he wouldn’t have wanted it to be a commercial gimmick but an actual symbol of his love for you. You felt the same, of course.

For V, you gifted him a new portable polaroid camera and cartridges. He had so many big expensive cameras, but a little polaroid captures fun moments and prints them instantly. They could capture moments without taking V out of it and distancing himself.

You also gave him a set of imported watercolours from Europe, since the reviews said that they were really good. He’d mentioned wanting to experiment more with watercolours, so this was the perfect time to gift him a set to practice with.

For your gifts, V would have first gifted you a weekend getaway for the two of you, knowing how stressed you had been recently. He wanted to give you a chance to relax and to just spend some time being utterly in love with one another.

Secondly, V gifted you a painting, of your hand touching a rose petal and being illuminated by the sun. He didn’t need to explain it, because he knew the painting reached your heart.

GE Saeran Choi Valentine’s Gifts 

Saeran was always getting you gifts, so he wanted to do something extra special for Valentine’s Day, but remaining in the spirit of the holiday. He was in love with love, and wanted to show it. 

You’d woken up to a room full of flowers, so many flowers. Saeran would have decorated the room silently before you had woken up since he wanted you to wake up to the beautiful sight. He’d tell you the meaning of each flower and how each one represents a different reason as to why he loves you entirely. You’d been awake about thirty seconds, this man is shameless with his affection.

Saeran would make you breakfast in bed and would cook for you for the entire day, making whatever you wanted to eat. He’d already made a bunch of baked goods in preparation whilst you were asleep.

Over dinner, you’d give him his gifts even though you were worried that they weren’t enough in comparison to what he had done. You gave him some seeds, a new pair of gardening gloves since he was continuously hurting his hands on rose thorns, a photo album of the happy memories the two of you had been making with the RFA and a little keychain that had a picture of the two of you in it to go on his housekeys. Needless to say, he cried.

Saeran had also got you another gift, a tiny gold necklace with a little heart in the middle of it. He said he chose it because he wanted you to carry his heart with you everywhere you go.

Vanderwood Valentine’s Gifts

Vanderwood absolutely forgot Valentine’s Day was a thing until the day before, when he wanted in on Seven trying on his maid outfit to make sure it still fit okay and had to immediately explain himself.

He was not someone to celebrate Valentine’s Day, since he didn’t want to get attached to anyone, but you had somehow wormed your way into his life and refused to leave. 

He’d have gotten you a new laptop, since he couldn’t bear to look at that horrific old thing you were using. He set it up with anti-tracking software and made it as safe as possible to people like him didn’t steal your information, he wouldn’t do anything romantic, but he might be a little less mean to you for that day. He wouldn’t even say ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ to you, he’d just hand you the laptop and show you how to use it.

For your gift to Vanderwood, you tried gifting him a vape pen so help him cut down on smoking so much, but he didn’t willingly accept this. He took it, and would maybe use it when he was at home and no one could see him vaping though, since you’re the one who gave it to him. 

Just to add an extra gift in, since you knew the vape pen wouldn’t go down well, you gave him a voucher for a coffee shop and an Elvish dictionary: you had insider information that Seven was about to change the intercom on the door’s language, after all.

2004-12-18 102501 Wannabe first time tractor owner here. Could use your experienced comments. Trying to make a decision here between turbo and non-turbo. I'm not sure an extra 7 H.P. is worth the extra cost in itself. And the turbo generates heat under the hood and would add cost to repairs, etc. I do like to do my own maintenance and that could be a little more challenging with a turbo. That said, you'd be hard pressed to buy a non-turbo diesel car or truck these day. Diesels just perform better with a turbo. I'll be using it for residential construction, trenching, stump removal, etc. My elevation is about 2500' above sea level. And speaking of stump removal, I'm wondering if I'm looking at enough machine here? I will be removing up to 18-20' diameter Ponderosa Pine stumps (big tap root). Thanks to you experts for your comments.

2004-12-19 102516 We have sold many TC55da tractors but not too many 48 tractors. The EHSS is just too nice of a feature in it self to not go with the 55. Also the 55 has the same engine as the ls 170 skid loader so I can say with confidence that the engine is a proven power house and very reliable. My suggestion would be to drive both of them and you will see the power difference. ....

2004-12-19 102548 oneace... I hadn't been thinking of getting the EHSS (about +$800?). Not really sure what it does or how it works. NH website says it allows shifting forward to reverse without clutching. But that is about all they say. I'm 43 and have never owned a car or truck with an auto. I like to shift. Would the EHSS make me more productive, especially with the FEL? Does it eliminate clutching altogether? Does an EHSS TC55 even have a clutch pedal? How does EHSS work? (I like to know how things work.) Thanks again. .... Reply to | Quote Reply | Add Photo ____________________________________________________________________________________ TC48DA vs TC55DA

2004-12-19 102560 Yes there is a clutch pedal. Basically to change direction forward to reverse or vise versa you only have to slow down and move your shuttle lever to the desired direction with out the clutch pedal. The tractor will then slowly engage in that direction. With the manual shuttle you have to come to a complete stop then change direction. Either one you still have to clutch between gears and ranges. The gears are synchronized so you can shift on the fly but you still have to stop to switch ranges. How it works is through clutch packs one for forward and on for reverse. ....

2004-12-20 102604 Thanks for the reply. I'm still a little unclear on EHSS. NH website says you can shift forward to reverse with regular shuttle shift without coming to a full stop. So it sounds like EHSS eliminates clutching on forward to reverse. And perhaps it makes for a smoother transition. But it also sounds like more parts (dual clutch packs) and expense to replace down the road. Do I have this right? Or is there something I'm still missing? Has EHSS been around long enough to be proven reliable, long-lived, etc? Thanks again. ....

2004-12-20 102614 RUDEDOG: Have you thought about just buying a skid steer loader? I have an '03 NH LS180 turbo, 2-speed (newly released and changed for '05 as an LS185.B) and it will out perform a tractor of similar HP and size---especially for digging tree stumps, I use 48' long pallet forks and can dig a 24' oak stump in hard clay in less than 10 minutes---that's a root ball about 5' across. And I can load it on a truck quicker than you can get off and tighten a chain from a tractor---plus you will not be able to lift that same root ball which could be in excess of 3,000 lb. I also have an '02 NH TC33D and it has it's place in my excavating business. Put tracks on the skid loader and you have a bulldozer that'll pretty much go anywhere! Add air conditioning and heat and you are set. .... Reply to | Quote Reply | Add Photo ____________________________________________________________________________________ TC48DA vs TC55DA

2004-12-20 102631 earthwrks... Interesting thought on the skid steer. I would love to watch you work a stump and learn a thing or two or three. With the tractor however, I think I'd have more options down the road -- mower, tiller, box scraper, log splitter, chipper, etc. that I might want to make use of. Too bad I can't afford both!

IMO If I did not have farming on my mind, it would of been a skidloader hands down. In a way, I am a bit frazzeld still that I did not buy one. HEAT/AIR and cab. plus they are just plain and simple, more fun! I will pick one up soon though. Anouther option. Buy that tc48 and pick up a used skid loader for the real nasty/bull work.

New Holland Tc55da Owners Manual

2004-12-21 102653 I made a skid steer-to-3-point attachment carrier for about $200 (for a box scraper, and york rake). Works great---and talk about down pressure! My buddy has a pix of me pushing a boxscraper removing about 4' top layer of compacted clay from a 1000' gravel road---the clay was literally flying out the top of the box scraper becasue of the attainable speed, power, and traction. I bought a new cab enclosure on e-bay for $800 (even worth the price at $1800 new) and again from e-bay, a new cab air/heater for $125 ($3000 new). The kit was missing the air conditioniong compressor, but I just use the blower feature which works just as well and keeps the cab pressurized keeping out dust (air exits downward around foot controls) ....

Can I have a Scenario where bokuto has a gf that is childish and loves all Disney movies and he surprises her with tickets to Disney

Thank you so much for requesting this!!!!! This was soooooo much fun to write!!! I love getting Disney requests, so anyone who has any more, you’re more than welcome to submit them! Enjoy!!

~ Wendy!

You and Bokuto hadgrown up together. Nineties Disney movies were your go-to on a rainy day… orany day, for that matter. Whether it was Aladdin, Mulan, The Lion King, Tarzan,or Toy Story, it didn’t matter. The two of you got super pumped when The Incredibles,Beauty and the Beast, and other Disney movies got sequels or live actionremakes. In fact, when you found out about Toy Story 4, you screamed. Not justinternally, but externally. And then you told your entire family and every oneof your friends. Bokuto was your Disney buddy first, and became your boyfriendlater on.

A couple of monthsafter you and Bokuto started dating, he suggested you two celebrate graduatinghigh school with a fun trip or event of some kind. As soon as you agreed, hebought tickets to Disney. But, he told you that you two were visiting his familyin America. 

“How excitedare you!? I’m so excited!” Bokuto exclaimed, running circled around youwith his suitcase.

“I’m prettyexcited.” You laughed, loving his enthusiasm. “I take it you haven’tbeen to America much?”

“Nope, notoften! But this’ll be a great trip! We’re going to have a blast!”

“I know wewill.” You smile.

“You’re quieterthan usual. Everything okay?”

“I’m a littlenervous. I’ve known your family back home since we were kids. This is the firsttime I’m meeting new family. I just hope it goes well.”

“Don’t worry,it will!” He assured you. “Trust me, when we land, all your worrieswill be gone. C'mon, y/n-chan, Hakuna Matata! We’re going to D– We’re going onvacation!”

You weren’t surewhat he was going to say, but you knew he was hiding something. It was odd thathe hadn’t mentioned family in America before that year. It was also odd howexcited he was, and that he wasn’t at all nervous about leaving the country andhaving to speak English. Something was up, and you had to get to the bottom ofit.

You boarded theflight to Orlando, trying to think up subtle ways to get the truth out of him.

“So,Bokuto–” You asked. “Who’s family is this? Mom’s side or Dad’sside?”

“It’s Dad’ssister.”

“What’s hername.”

“Aunt…Hikari.”

“AuntHikari?”

“Yep, AuntHikari. She met Uncle… John… when she was studying abroad. But they didn’t havekids.”

“Studyingabroad is something I’ve always wanted to do, too!” I smiled. He was lyingabout everything, that you knew. He was too good and honest of a person to lieconvincingly in person. The question was, what were you really getting yourselfinto.

You landed inOrlando, and went through baggage claim. Once you had your stuff, you headedfor pick-up. But Bokuto walked right past it.

“Bokuto? Isn’tthis where your family will get us?”

“Nope, just alittle farther.” He said, continuing to walk. You saw the Disney’s MagicalExpress station at the end of the hall. There was nothing else left. But therewas no way he could actually be taking you to Walt Disney World, was there? It’sso expensive, and you only have him half the amount of money as it would taketo stay there as your part of the vacation fund. Bokuto’s smile was as brightas ever, he wasn’t even trying to act anymore. He turned around excitedly toannounce “Y/n-chan, we’re going to Disney World!”

“You’rekidding!???!!!!” You squealed. “There’s no actual way weare!!!!!!”

“Nope, we are!I have our tickets and our Disney’s Magical Express stuff right here!!! We’restaying at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and we’ll get our Magic Bands when wecheck in!!! We’re here six nights, seven days! I have no family in Americawhatsoever!”

“Oh mygosh!!!!!!!!!!! How long did you keep it a secret for!??!!? And HOW did youkeep it a secret!?!!!??! I would’ve leaked it months ago!!!!!”

“I startedplanning this the day I asked you if you wanted a grad trip and you saidyes!”

You jumped intoBokuto’s arms, and he twirled you around like the Disney Princess you both knewyou were. 

You were extremelyrestless in the bus. Bokuto was finally getting to talk to you about howexcited he, too, was for this trip. He planned the whole thing perfectly, usingyour last trip with your family as a template. The fast passes, diningreservations, extra magic hours, everything was perfect, just as you would haveplanned it!

Your first day at apark was, of course, Magic Kingdom!

“Okay, so firstSpace Mountain! Then we’ll head to Fronteirland for the mountains there. Then,Space Mountain! Then we’ll see what’s in Fantasyland. Then, Space mountain!Then it’s about time for lunch, followed by a parade. And then, Space Mountain!Then we should greet some characters, I gotta get a picture with Donald Duck!Then, –”

“SpaceMountain, I get it!” Bokuto laughed, loving how excited you were.“We’ll do everything, including ten times the amount of Space Mountainanyone else would.”

“Perfect! Butyou’re forgetting the nighttime dance before fireworks!”

“Of course Iam.” He chuckled. “Let’s get a move on! We’re burning daylight, andwe only have fifty minutes left of our extra magic hour!”

“Race yathere!” You bolted toward Tomorrowland, Bokuto quickly overtaking yousince he was in peak shape thanks to volleyball. You were both out of breathlining up. Losing the race made you extra determined to win the mini-game inthe Space Mountain line.

“Sucker! IceCream is on you, as promised!”

“I demand arematch!”

“Double ornothing?”

"Double ornothing!”

You battled againthe next time you rode space mountain, and now Bokuto owed you two Mickey IceCream bars.

Bokuto had alwayswanted to kiss his girlfriend when fireworks were going on. That night, duringthe grand finale of Wishes, he wrapped his arm around you, and then kissed you.It was perfect, and gave you goose bumps.

Throughout the day,you took selfies in front of everything. The castle, Space Mountain and otherrides, the entrance, your restaurants, and with characters. It was the best dayof your life, by far.

The next day, youhit up Hollywood Studios.

“Okay, so,first stop, Tower of Terror!” Bokuto exclaimed.

“Oh, comeon…” You sighed. “First thing?”

“First thing!You said you wanted to conquer it, right? If you wait, you’ll just be anxiousabout it all day. If we get it over with now, then boom! You can enjoy the restof your day.”

“You have apoint……” You reluctantly admitted he was right

“Don’t worry.I’ll be right there. And remember, it doesn’t go down the entire tower atonce." 

"Alsotrue….”

He was successfullyconvincing you.

“Picture this:You, coming off the ride, with a big smile on your face. Us, looking at the MyDisney Experience app, and buying the picture of your first ever Tower ofTerror ride. You, having finally conquered every ride Disney has tooffer!”

“Okay, let’s doit.” You put on a smile, even though you were definitely going to cry atsome point from nerves. You worked yourself up all through the ride. EvenBokuto was quiet in line, trying to find a new way to encourage you and comfortyou, since he’d used up all his tricks. When you finally were seated on theride, he took your hand, and you closed your eyes. After a deep breath, youopened them, and the ride stopped.

All you could thinkwas ‘I can’t do this. I want off. I can’t do this. I want off’ on repeat.

“We’re going toconquer this together.” Bokuto squeezed your hand as the elevator enteredthe shaft. It shot up, then down, then up, then down, then up, then down, thenup, then down, then up, then down, and then it was over. It was quick, and painless,thanks to the secret trick of clenching your gut and holding your breath thatkept you from feeling too many butterflies.

Just as Bokuto hadpredicted, you were jumping around, excited.

“I can’tbelieve I just did that!” You looked back at the tower, amazed by it’sheight. “After so many years of not even trying, I just conquered it! Andit wasn’t even that bad! I did it! I can’t believe I did it!”

“I knew you hadit in you.” He smiled, whipping out his phone. “Would you like tosee?” 

You snatched thephone from his hand and loaded the app quickly, anticipating the look on yourfaces when the camera snapped its photo. You had your eyes closed, clutchingBokuto’s arm for dear life. He had his arms up, enjoying the ride. He wasfacing you, though, making sure you were okay. That picture was worth framing,so you bought it.

"Thanks,Bokuto.” You smiled, giving him a kiss.

“Anytime.” He blushed.

Next was the Beautyand the Beast play.

“They’re sobig.” You laughed. Lumiere, Cogsworth, they were all human sized. It waslaughable. But the music made up for it.

“I know, it’scompletely different from the movie. But that’s not what we’re here for, isit?”

“No, no it’snot.” You smiled, hearing the tune beginning. “Madame Gaston, oh canyou see it?” You sang along.

“Madame Gaston,his little wife. No sir, not me, I guarantee it!” Bokuto took his turnnext, with an extremely sassy face on.

“I want so muchmore than this provincial life!”

The next song youtwo belted out was Be Our Guest. Bokuto even tried a French accent, which onlymade it funnier.

Obviously, you hadto hit up Star Tours. They included the characters from The Force Awakens now,which was so cool!

“I wonder howmany versions of that ride they are? Each one has a different story,right?” You wondered.

“Well, we havetime before our Rockin’ Rollercoaster fastpass. Wanna see if we can get everyversion of the ride in the same day!?”

“Um,yeah!” You agreed, without thinking twice. You probably did that ridearound six times, asking the crew members how many times you’d have to do it tosee all possible storylines. Every time you went through the store at the exitof the ride, you looked at a different item. When Bokuto jump-scared you with aChewbacca mask on, you responded by grabbing a light saber and smacking himwith it jokingly 

After that, you bothscreamed your heads off at the takeoff of Rockin Rollercoaster.

“One of thebest things about this ride is the before scene. It’s less time to wait inline, and it’s kind of funny.” You smiled.

“Yeah, I loveseeing Aerosmith! Even if it’s only for a second.”

In the line, youplayed lots of games. Truth or Dare, Would you Rather, Eye Spy, and otherthings. You learned a lot about each other through those talks. It was nicebonding time.

After a few roundsof Rockin Rollercoaster, you headed to Toy Story Mania.

“Okay, we’regoing to do this an odd number of times. Whoever wins the most rounds winsoverall. Deal?” Bokuto suggested.

“You’re on.This ride is new since you’ve been here, you’ve never played it. I’m anexperienced gamer.”

“How about wemake this interesting? The loser buys popcorn for Fantasmic!”

“You’reon!” You smiled. Then, you entered the line. It was so cool to see all thegiant toys. Disney always put so much work into everything they did, even thewaiting lines for their rides. It meant everything was more expensive, andwaits for new lines to be built were longer, but it was totally worth it 

“No, no, no,no, no!” Bokuto exclaimed as you ended the fifth round of Toy Story Mania.

“I like mypopcorn with extra butter.” You joked, nudging him with your elbow.

“Okay, butwe’re having a rematch at Space Mountain on the last day! Loser buys popcornagain, but for fireworks. 

"I won thatone, too. You really want to challenge me again?”

“I don’t backdown when I’m beaten. I compete and improve until I win. So don’t be so sureyou’ll hold your crown forever.” He teased you 

“We’ll seeabout that.” You smiled back.

Finally, it was timefor Fantasmic. It was dark, and the lights were beautiful. You brought alongthe glowstick you had bought at Fantasmic last time you were here. The sticklit up the same colour as the show’s set did. Fantasmic’s most beautiful featurethough was not its lights, in your opinion. It was its music 

You were exhaustedby the time you got back to your room. You crashed with your head usingBokuto’s chest as a pillow. The next morning, you were well rested, ready totake on Animal Kingdom.

Kilimanjaro Safariwas always one of your favourite rides. It made you want to fly to Africa andsee everything that was there in its truly natural habitat. You had no doubtthat Bokuto could do a lot of the acrobatic stunts in Festival of the LionKing. And finally, you went on Kali River Rapids as many times as it took foryou to be in the position where you got the biggest splash.

When lunch hit, youwere soaking wet, and freezing cold, since the Tusker House restaurant seemedto be even cooler than the other air conditioned places.

“Do you want mysweater, y/n-chan?” 

"Oh, no, it’sokay, you keep it.” You smiled. “I’ll get some warm food, that’llhelp! Plus, once we get back out in the sun, I’ll dry off.” 

"I asked, but Iwasn’t really asking.” Bokuto chuckled as he wrapped his sweater aroundyour shoulders” 

It was really sweet,something straight out of a movie. You couldn’t help but blush. 

After that, youheaded to Dinosaur. You told Bokuto all about the dinosaur facts you knew, andhow the original Jurassic Park scarred you for life because you watched it tooyoung. Even though you knew the dinosaur was coming, you still screamed when itcame out at you, thanks to the suspense the ride built up.

“That wasawesome! We’ve gotta do it again!” Bokuto beamed. “He almost had meconvinced we weren’t going to make it out of there!”

“Me, too!”You laughed. “How cool would it be to really go back in time like that?And to see the  planet millions of yearsago? I wonder just how much has changed, and just how cool the dinosaurs reallylooked in person.”

“It’d beamazing! Which one would you want to see?”

“A triceratops!That would be the best!”

“T-Rex forme!” 

You two weredaydreamers. When some people saw no point in the conversations you sometimeshad, you knew that any conversation you enjoyed wasn’t wasted just because itwasn’t about something real. That was a side of you Bokuto really got, and youtruly appreciated that.

After a visit toIt’s Tough To Be A Bug, in which you avoided the stink bug smell, the beestings, and the larvae bumps, you headed to see the Yeti 

"So, how comeyou aren’t scared of this ride? It has a drop?”

“Yeah, but it’snothing compared to The Tower of Terror. Plus, going backwards is too much funto miss because of a drop!”

The both of youthrew your hands in the air for the Everest drop, and when you went backwards.You even asked for the front row seat the next time you did it.

You ended the nightwith Rivers of Light. It was peaceful, screen, and beautiful in the dark. Itwas exactly the calm you needed after another busy Disney day.

The next day, youtackled Epcot! Soarin’ had just been updated, so you were stoked to go on that,as was Bokuto. After taking a stroll through all the pavilions, you hit up morerides. Bokuto was obsessed with making the cars in Test Track that you almostdidn’t finish it in time to move on in the line. Luckily, you did, and Bokutowas ecstatic when his won overall.

You had many moreadventures on that trip. You discovered Bokuto had motion sickness and wasn’tthe biggest fan of Mission Space. You heard him scream for the first time inthe Haunted Mansion. Bokuto suggested you make funny faces during the photo.Naturally, the two of you purchased every ride picture you got throughout theweek.

As for souvenirs,you bought a matching set of Mickey and Minnie mugs, as well as some pins fortrading. Bokuto also bought you a stuffed Winnie the Pooh bear. 

And, on the lastday, when you thought the week couldn’t get any better, Bokuto had boughttickets to the dessert party on the boat. You were ecstatic, having alwayswanted to do that. The fireworks show was absolutely beautiful!

“See? I toldyou it would be better than ever!”

“It reallyis!” You exclaimed. “I was a little sad that Wishes was gone, butHappily Ever After is really, really good!”

"Where’s my five bucks? C'mon, I won the bet that you’d love this oneeven more." 

"Okay, okay.Here you go.” You chuckled, handing over the bill.

You flew home thenext day, reading over the journal you’d written about the trip. It had everdetail, from the food you ordered at the restaurants, to the scores you eachearned in Toy Story Mania. You looked over at your sleeping boyfriend on theplane ride home, wondering how you could’ve been so lucky as to land someonelike him. 

“I’m going to marry him someday. I can say thatfor certain now. ”

Those were the lastwords you wrote in the journal for that trip. And you two lived Happily EverAfter.

I Want to Stop Eating Fast Food

Do you have a soft spot for fingerlickin’ fried chicken or double (bacon) cheeseburgers?

You know habitually eating fast food can put you on the fast track to poor health and weight gain. Over a decade ago, two teenage girls sued McDonald’s for making them fat. Morgan Spurlock suffered “Mc-twitches” on a month-long fast food diet to prove a point in Super Size Me. Michelle Obama made it her fight to stop the obesity epidemic by trying to steer America away from fast food and frozen dinners.

Fast forward to present day: We’re still fixated on fast food. It’s normal to get that itch now and then, but if you scratch it too often, you can kiss your weight-loss plans goodbye (not to mention overall good health). But, never fear; if you don’t want to quit eating fast food cold turkey, you should first understand what makes these foods so craveable so you can make an informed choice if you decide to indulge.

What Makes Fast Food So Addictive?

Ask someone what their favorite cheat food is, and I’ll bet they won’t say a grilled chicken salad (unless, they’re making these salad mistakes). Highly processed junk food and fast food likely top the list. Me? I like a hot plate of crisp French fries, and I’m a dietitian. What can I say? Few people are above the influence of hyperpalatable foods, defined by researchers as foods rich in fats, sugars and/or salts and often comprised of synthetic combinations of many ingredients.

If the deck feels like it’s stacked against you, that’s because it is. Here’s why:

Fast food is tasty by design. Experts recognize that we crave sugary, salty and fatty foods by evolutionary design. The double-whammy is that food scientists build upon this by optimizing the smell, taste, and feel of your favorite burger down to the crinkle in its packaging.

Fast food is cheap and ready to eat. This is music to anyone’s ears, especially a working parent’s. Fast food clearly wins out over other dine-in restaurants as a convenient, low-cost option. Not to mention most fast food joints will reward you with better value for sizing up on a meal!

Fast food uses slick marketing. Children are key targets for fast food marketing. About $4.6 billion is spent annually to convince kids to nag their parents for the latest happy meal toy. The positive emotions we have sipping cola and munching on chicken nuggets with our families build memories that can influence our future decisions to eat these types of foods again when we are stressed and want to feel comforted.

It’s still controversial to that say fast food is absolutely addictive. But, there are scientists out there arguing that highly processed foods can trigger artificially high levels of reward similar to other addictive drugs. Obviously, we all react differently to food. But, if you crave fast food beyond the occasional indulgence, it may benefit your health — not to mention waistline — if you cut back on your consumption.

8 Signs That Your Love of Fast Food May Be Unhealthy

Fast food is tasty — we get it. But, at what point do you roll from sporadic enjoyment into indulging at a rate that’s not healthy? Here are a few signs that fast food is more of a routine than a once-in-a-while cheat/treat:

You crave specific fast food items often.

You go out of your way to buy fast food.

One bite of this type of food can launch you into a full-on binge.

Being full doesn’t stop you from eating more.

Your fixation on fast food is a source of guilt, depression, anxiety, or self-loathing.

You want to eat less fast food, but have been unsuccessful.

You eat fast food often even if you know it can harm your health.

Withdrawal symptoms (such as headaches, anxiety, and sadness) may happen if you don’t get your fast food fix.

4 Strategies for Kicking Your Love of Fast Food to the Curb

If your consumption of fast food is standing in the way of a healthier, fitter, trimmer you, it may be time to make some changes. These strategies can help.

Set boundaries between you and the trigger food. Write down the specific fast food item(s) that can trigger you to overeat or binge. Consider these foods blacklisted for a while. Don’t allow yourself to purchase them again until you’ve established a better relationship with them.

Find non-food ways to deal with emotions. Food can be an emotional band aid for anger, depression, and stress. You can trade in your greasy pizza for journaling, meditation, or exercise to deal with negative feelings.

Be prepared when you get late-night cravings. It’s 2 a.m. but you have a hankering for some popcorn chicken. A fast food craving can hit with poor timing, so make sure your fridge has a few healthy snacks like any of these 55 snacks under 150 calories. Better yet: Make it a rule not to eat in the middle of the night. If you have trouble sleeping, meditate, read a book, take a warm bath, or relax with low-key yoga instead of eating.

Fill up on faux fast food. To kick your fast food habit, you may mentally slap a B-A-D label across all fast foods (not just the trigger foods mentioned above). This black-and-white way of thinking is restrictive, and can make it hard for you to rewire your relationship with fast food. Instead of going cold turkey entirely, try cooking healthier versions of your favorite fast food.

7 Healthier Fast Food Alternatives, Remade by Beachbody

Lucky for you, we have plenty of fast food and comfort food makeover recipes that can not only satisfy your craving, but can also move you toward your weight-loss goal. Beachbody recipes are designed to compliment the workout plans, such as 21 Day Fix, Body Beast, and P90X, that are available on Beachbody on Demand.

A small word of wisdom: If you’re someone who regularly eats fast food, the following remakes may not be to your liking right away. You’ll need to give your tastebuds time to adjust to lower levels of fat, sugar, and salt. Don’t worry, you will get there. Now get cookin’:

Roasted Garlic & Rosemary Burger – Temper your burger craving with homemade beef patties. These are made with 95-percent lean ground sirloin that’s spiked with grated zucchini for extra moisture and fiber.

Cookies & Cream Smoothie – Sip on this lighter version of a vanilla and chocolate cookie milkshake. You can settle your sweet tooth without overdoing the calories, fat, and sugar.

Buffalo Chicken Tenders with Blue Cheese Dip – Enjoy spicy chicken tenders without the grease-soaked breading of traditional chicken wings. Cool your mouth down with a blue cheese dip made from yogurt.

Almond-Crusted Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard – And… if you’re really into crispy breading, we’ve got you covered, too. This chicken nugget alternative is a treat your kids will also love.

Broccoli Tater Tots – Just like tater tots except they’re baked and filled with nutritious broccoli instead of starchy potatoes.

BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza – Instead of stringy cheese, this pizza oozes with lean protein from chicken breast and black beans.

Spicy Sweet Potato Fries – Baked sweet potato fries are a tasty take on traditional fries, plus they deliver a good dose of vitamin A.

But… Is Fast Food Cheaper Than Healthier Food?

In addition to cravings, another barrier some people need to overcome in order to eat healthier is the perception of value that fast food can have.

Contrary to popular belief, fast food isn’t cheaper than a simple homecooked meal. Obviously, energy-dense foods (think: chips, cookies, fast food) will appear cheaper than low-calorie and nutritious fruits, veggies, and whole grains. But, this method assumes it’s quantity of calories that makes us full, when, in reality, satiety also depends on the quality of calories consumed.

A great example of this concept: fiber versus sugar. Which fills your stomach more: One ounce of jellybeans (105 calories and 20 grams of sugar) or a medium-sized apple with the skin (95 calories, 19 grams of sugar, and 4.4 grams of fiber)? Even with roughly the same amount of sugar and similar calorie counts, the apple is more satiating because of its fiber and water content (not to mention it contains beneficial vitamins and minerals).

If you’re a savvy shopper, you can make cheaper fast food alternatives at home. It doesn’t take hard science to prove this — just a pinch of common sense. Mark Bittman argues that you can feed a family of four with $28 at McDonald’s (2 Big Macs, 1 cheeseburger, 6 chicken nuggets, 2 medium fries and 2 small fries, 2 medium sodas and 2 small sodas), or a family of six for $14 (1 roasted chicken plus cooked veggies, a side salad, and milk) at home. And 21 Day Fix creator Autumn Calabrese destroys the argument that fast food provides greater value than cooking at home in this video, where she makes dinner plus leftovers for the next day for herself and her son for just $15.

It’s a challenge worth trying!
