Why This Must Be Read: This is charming and funny, a great take on them meeting by accident as teens and hitting it off, in the context of an ill-timed McKay family vacation to Florida's Disneyworld... in August. It's sweet, snarky, has excellent characterisation and a great ending - and of course, it's only bearable when you're sure, as I am, that it's a prelude to canon. :)
Only the McKay family would visit Florida in August.
They were from northern North America, for God's sake. They weren't built to thrive in conditions this hot and humid and, worst of all, sunny. Sure, they had all those things back home, but it was different here. The sunshine in Florida was like some sort of napalm that came straight out of Satan's ass, searing Rodney's eyes and burning his skin right through his clothing. After a week-long death march through the state's most famous tourist attractions, he was bright red and crabby, and thoroughly sick of both the outdoors and his family.
His parents, who were operating under the delusion that this was some sort of dream vacation, didn't seem to understand that Disney World, while great entertainment for four-year-old Jeannie, wasn't all that thrilling to sixteen-year-old Rodney. The Magic Kingdom had been a temple of inanity, the EPCOT Center a bastion of simplistic science dumbed down for the masses...and Rodney's little sister had wanted to see every inch of both. Rodney had plodded along dutifully while his brain baked inside his head, wishing for a swift and merciful death.
