Chapter Ninety-Three: New Horizons Daniel stood outside the safety railing with a group of adults. All watched their young charges riding around in circles, sitting in Dumbo, as he moved up and down. This was the third time Danny, Brian and Ian were on this ride, but that was alright, Daniel needed the rest. The previous ride was the tea cup ride. The three boys had climbed into the tea cup and, when they weren't hollering for Daniel to spin them faster, rolled around inside the cup screaming out their hearts delight. Daniel enjoyed the brief respite to recharge his batteries. Daniel's much needed respite was interrupted by his cell phone. "Daniel, we just received word that the governor is on his way and has asked to speak with you when he arrives." "How long before he arrives?" "About fifteen to twenty minutes. He's coming in by helicopter and landing somewhere on the other side of the resort. Management will have a car bringing him to us." "Okay, when the boys finish their ride I'll head back. What's our lunch schedule today? Do I feed these boys in the park or is it their day to eat at camp?" "Your group is scheduled to eat here as a cook-out. The other groups at the more distant parks will be eating where they are. We've added some extra for the governor and his group." Daniel didn't have time to pocket his cell phone and find a good relaxing spot to sit before the ride ended and three overly-energetic young boys ran towards him. "Mr. Dan'l! Mr. Dan'l!" Ian hollered loud enough for several people to turn and notice him; everyone smiled at his exuberance. "Did ya see us? We was flyin' with Dumbo!" "Can we do it again?" Brian asked before Daniel could answer Ian. Danny stood in the middle looking at Daniel with hopeful eyes. "Don't you think three times is enough? You know there's other fun rides and things to see, too." Daniel had to smile as he watched the boys' expressions. All three little faces had 'what' written all over them while their little bodies bounced on the balls of their feet and they couldn't keep their hands to themselves. "Do you boys know that they have a real jungle cruise boat here? You can go for a ride and there will be monkeys and birds and all kinds of things in the trees for you to see." When Daniel told the boys about the ride, they immediately started turning around, looking for where they needed to go. Unable to spot the ride, they started taking a few steps in different directions. The boys turned to one another, puzzled. If the ride was there, why couldn't they see it? "We can't find it." Danny told Daniel, being very serious. "We'll see it in a minute, but first, we have something else to do. Are you boys hungry?" The question distracted the boys from thoughts of the jungle boat. The three boys had been running all morning, not stopping to even have a snack. Nodding their heads vigorously, the boys now looked around for a place to eat. "We're not eating here today. We need to gather up the other boys and head back to camp for a special cookout. Each of you will get to roast your own hotdog. Let's get the other boys and head back. Okay?" The three boys lead the way. They helped look for the other boys in between playing and jumping around. Daniel hoped the boys might burn off some of their energy, but knew they most likely wouldn't settle down until night-time. When the boys started running too far ahead, Daniel called them back. Danny always came back at a full run. On the third call Daniel reached out and grabbed Danny, tossing him over his shoulder. When Danny hollered, Daniel grabbed the boy's ankle and let him drop head-first down his back. Danny's screams let everyone know how much he enjoyed the attention. * * * * As the tram pulled up to the campsite, Daniel spotted his father talking with the governor and Amos Crawford. The three men turned at the sound of the tram and ceased their conversation until Daniel joined them. "Governor. Amos." Daniel acknowledged the men with a simple, but friendly, greeting as he extended his hand to each. "Hope I haven't kept you waiting too long." "Daniel, we just arrived ourselves," the governor responded as he turned to Danny and the other boys. "Danny, boys. Have you been having a good time?" Danny nodded as he stepped closer to Daniel and then tugged on Daniel's hand. Daniel sat on the bench to look the boy in the eyes. "Mr. Dan'l, uummm, can we go play?" Danny asked, his voice almost a whisper, as he pointed towards some of the other boys. Daniel looked where Danny pointed and saw some boys tossing a Frisbee while others frolicked in the stream. "You can play for a few minutes, but stay close. Remember, we're going to have lunch in a few minutes." "And after lunch are we still goin' on that boat ride?" Danny asked. They waited just long enough for Daniel to nod, then the four men watched the three young boys run off to play. They laughed when the three boys suddenly stopped, took off all their clothes and dropped them in a pile. The boys waived to the men and then ran for the stream. "To be that carefree again," The governor commented. "It's a shame you have to get older to appreciate how easy things were at their ages." Daniel looked at the governor and decided he should just not reply to the governor's comment, particularly with what he was thinking. Daniel was saved from saying anything when one of the boys arrived with a tray of soft drinks and let Daniel know they would be ready to start the cookout in about ten minutes. "Ten minutes." The governor observed. "Guess I had better get down to business. Daniel, you know what kind of crazy game politics can be. Look how long you had to fight to get this program on its feet. The key was the fact that you never gave up. You may have gotten discouraged once in a while, that's normal; but you never quit. If you had, then little Danny and his friends might be running around naked, but they wouldn't be having any fun. You and I both know that's true. Those boys would most likely never know what a real laugh or a real smile was. That's part of the reason I'm here." Elizabeth appeared around the corner of the cabin and joined the men. Daniel prepared to introduce Elizabeth to the governor and Amos Crawford, but was surprised. "Elizabeth," the governor greeted her like they were old friends. "Glad you could join us. I assume you understand the terms for you to be here?" "I do, Governor. I won't say anything about our meeting without checking with you first. Also, I satisfied myself that we aren't breaking any of the sunshine laws. Thank you for inviting me." The Governor smiled at Daniel's reaction. "Daniel, don't look so surprised. You, of all people, should know and appreciate the benefits of good press. For what I am about to propose, we will need all the good press we can muster." Daniel waited patiently for the governor to continue. "This latest suit regarding children as property and due process has really stirred up a hornet's nest. You have to understand that a lot of work went into getting that declaration of children as property. It was a project backed by big business and big money, not to mention some very powerful people. I'm telling you this because I want to be sure that you understand the kind of people you are running up against. "Now, the court set standards for determining whether the child received due process and representation. We have already located a number of children that did not receive the due process protection and released them to you. Right now, I believe, there are about fifty to fifty-five more being held in Tampa. There are more in Jacksonville, Orlando and Miami. I don't know the total number. I do know that there will be many more. Therein lies part of our problem." "I'm afraid I don't understand, Governor," Daniel interrupted. "We are talking about children that have been enslaved anywhere from a few months to a number of years," Amos responded to Daniel. "Daniel, we've been looking into this problem and how it was addressed by other countries. Some of these children will make the transition with little to no problem; others won't be quite so fortunate. At least, that's what our research tells us. "Daniel, the issue with enslaving children has been a topic of debate for a long time. The big problem was the court order. You fought for this for a long time. Finally, you were the right person, in the right place, at the right time. We didn't know if you could make this work, but we did know we had to take the chance. That day in the governor's office was real. There were people there who opposed what you wanted to do. You were able to convince them to let you try. That told us that we just might have the right person to pull this off." Daniel looked at his dad who sat there admiring his son, a twinkle in his eye. The twinkle told Daniel that his dad knew where all this was going. Daniel was almost afraid to think it might be headed where he had hoped. "Daniel," the governor continued with what he had been saying, "I told you that we know many more will be freed. What I haven't told you is that there are many, many children enslaved that did receive the proper due process. They would remain as slaves under the court guidelines. Believe me when I tell you that we have had experts look at the records and confirm our conclusions. The total number involved could be mind boggling. That's why we are here today. We need your help." "Mr. Dan'l! . . . Mr. Dan'l!" Danny was calling Daniel while running as fast as he could towards the group. Danny was carrying a stick with a hot dog on the end. "Danny, stop! Danny!" Sean was running right behind Danny, trying to catch the boy. Both boys arrived at the table almost simultaneously. "I'm sorry, Mr. Dan'l. I tried to catch him." Sean offered his apology. "Come on Danny, Mr. Dan'l's busy." Danny just looked at Daniel with his pleading eyes. "That's alright, Sean. I know what his problem is." Daniel responded and then looked at Danny. "You're worried about missing a boat ride, aren't you?" Danny just smiled and tilted his head, turning on his special charm. "And that is part of what has helped you, Daniel," the governor observed, "who in their right mind could resist that?" The governor then turned to Danny. "Danny, do you think there's enough hot dogs so we could have one, too?" Danny just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. A moment later he stuck his hot dog towards the governor. "That's alright, young fella, that hot dog is yours. I bet if we look we'll find a couple of extras. Then, after we eat, can I join you on that boat ride?" "Okay," Danny said in a little boy's innocent way as he leaned against Daniel's leg for security. Daniel reached out and picked up Danny, carrying him under his arm like a sack of potatoes. When he began giggling and wiggling around too much, Daniel tossed the boy over his shoulder and continued walking. The men were too busy watching Danny to worry about talking at the moment. When they reached the camp fire, Daniel set Danny down and told him to hold his hot dog over the fire so it could cook. Danny sat on the ground and was quickly joined by Brian and Ian. The men found a stick and quickly set about cooking their own hot dog. "Daniel, someone told me that Jeremy was here with you." "He is, but he's at one of the other parks today. They are supposed to be back later this afternoon." "Will they be here for their special surprise?" The boys had ignored the adults until the phrase 'special surprise' was spoken. Suddenly, all the boys were quiet, hoping to find out more about the special surprise. The adults realized how quiet the boys had become and laughed. "Sorry, guys, we're not spilling the beans. You'll have to wait to find out." The adults occupied themselves with being entertained by the youngest trio. As with all young children, eating was a necessity to be avoided when possible. All children knew that eating just took away from their fun time. What the adults didn't realize was that the other boys were watching them. The older boys were not watching to be entertained, but trying to figure out who the men were and why they were with them. As with all children, word quickly spread through the grapevine as to who the men were. Just as quickly, rumors sprang up as to why the men were there; some of the speculation gave the boys cause to be nervous. None of the boys knew the name of Amos Crawford. Many of the boys recognized the phrase DCF. The name was associated with slavery, particularly enslaving children. None of the boys asked the one question all of them had on their minds; they were afraid to. After lunch, Danny and his young friends were too excited to just sit around and wait on the adults. Danny ran up to Daniel and, standing in front of him, placed a hand on each leg and began to fidget, waiting impatiently to be noticed. Finally, Daniel acknowledged the boy. "Danny," Daniel began as he reached down and lifted the boy by his little butt and settled him into his lap, "Are you trying to tell me something?" Daniel asked with a smile. "Can we go for the boat ride now?" Danny almost whispered. "Young man," the governor answered, "not only can we go for that boat ride, but there's something else over there that I know you and your friends will really like. Have you ever seen a real pirate?" "Nooooo," Danny answered, wide eyed. "Are they real pirates?" "Now, you don't think Mickey would let fake pirates into his home, do you?" The governor answered. "Brian! Ian!" Danny called out as he jumped down from Daniel's lap. "We're gonna see real pirates!" Brian and Ian looked at Danny and then to Daniel, wide-eyed and in awe. Danny ran back to Daniel and, just before he reached his hero, jumped. Daniel caught the boy at his waist and lifted the screaming six year old over his head. "Little man, you're almost too big for me to catch that way." Danny didn't care. Daniel brought the boy down into his lap. "Don't you think you're forgetting something?" Danny suddenly had a puzzled look on his face and looked back to Daniel and shrugged his shoulders. "Don't you think you three should put some clothes on?" The boys grinned and ran for the pile of clothes they had discarded earlier. When they ran back, Brian ran to Amos, Ian ran to the governor and, of course, Danny ran to Daniel. The three men laughed. "Gentlemen, I believe you have been chosen," Daniel laughed. "I don't mind being chosen," the governor answered, "but before we leave I think we should turn this young fella's shirt right side out." Gathering the boys together, the group hopped a tram to the park. Each member of the young trio held the hand of their chosen protector. Elizabeth and Dr. Thompson followed them, accompanied by eleven other boys. The older boys had again been told that they could go off on their own and have fun and knew when to meet Daniel at a designated spot. The adults were no longer able to talk business. The boys were too excited and there were too many things to share for the boys to let the adults be left out. There were alligators in the water, and turtles. In the trees were real monkeys, a hissing snake and talking birds. The men knew the boys would demand their attention, and enjoyed every moment. After the boat ride, the boys were taken to The Pirates of the Caribbean. All of the boys had seen the video and the young ones wanted to see the pirate's big swords. There was a show for them to see, too. After all the excitement, the boys were taken to an ice cream parlor. The boys thought it was a treat, and it was. It was also where they were supposed to meet the older boys before heading back to camp. While the boys enjoyed ice cream, two park officials approached and asked to speak to Daniel and the governor. Stepping to the side, the men talked briefly, shook hands, and the park officials left. Daniel returned to the boys. "Fellas, how would all of you like to be in a parade?" The boys looked at one another and then smiled before hollering loud enough to be heard on the other side of the park. "Okay, okay, settle down." The adults were amused by the youthful excitement. "We have been invited to participate in the parade. They asked if we could participate as the Cherubs. The park is going to take everyone back to the employee dressing area where you can clean up and then their wardrobe department will give us what we need for your costumes. Okay?" Daniel knew, of course, that it was more than okay with the boys. He also knew the value of the public exposure. He called back to camp to let them know what was going on and arrange for the rest of the boys to join them. When all of the boys were together they were escorted to a private area of the park, where none of the visitors were allowed to go. The boys were shown to a dressing area where they gave their clothes to someone who was to keep them for later. After showering, the boys were taken into a large, almost warehouse type building. When they rounded a partition the boys were surprised to see a long row of barber chairs with a man or woman standing next to each. The boys were treated to a hair trim and style with highlights in their hair. Some of the boys had highlights added over their eyes. At the same time, someone trimmed and buffed their fingernails and toenails, a treatment the boys thought tickled. Afterwards, the boys stood and a light lotion was rubbed into their nude bodies. The boys thought they were being treated like kings. The last part of their treatment was a trip to the wardrobe area. Various cloths were out on display and professionals chose colors that best suited each boy's complexion and coloring. Some of the boys were given thongs that consisted of a small pouch to support their boyhood and strings that disappeared in their crack. They were then given pants like they had seen in the Aladdin show. The pants were very shear and slit down the sides. Sandals and gold finished thongs that were tied around their arms and hanging from their necks finished the costumes. The boys looked at themselves in a mirror and grinned. "Mr. Dan'l," Evan called out, "look at us. We look like something out of Arabian Nights. Pretty wild, huh?" "That or the biggest group of flamers anybody around here's ever seen," One of the boys added, causing everyone, including the wardrobe staff, to break into laughter. The boys were taken through secret tunnels built under the park to the area where the parade would start. The boys dressed as part of the Arabian Nights, which included TJ, Sean and Evan, were taken to the Aladdin float. Jeremy and Nigel were part of the pirate ship crew. Boys were spread throughout the parade with their only instructions being to be careful and have fun. Danny, Brian and Ian were at the beginning of the parade. Danny was placed on an animated model of Dumbo. Danny didn't know there was someone sitting inside Dumbo to guide the electric cart. When he was placed in his seat, two safety belts were fastened firmly around his waist and across his legs for his own safety. The same was done for Brian and Ian who each rode brightly lit snails. Some of the boys walked the parade route while others rode floats. "Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Welcome to our famous Main Street parade. Tonight we are pleased to announce that we have as our guests the honorable Governor of our great state together with the director of the Department of Children and Families. Accompanying the governor is Daniel Thompson, the Director of New Horizons. Our special guests of honor are the famous New Horizon Cherubs who you will see helping us throughout the length of our parade. Leading our parade is a young man whom many of you have seen as a symbol of New Horizons. He will introduce himself and get our parade under way." The announcer then approached Danny and held the microphone for the boy. "Hi, I'm Danny, and me and my friends," Danny turned to point back to his friends causing the announcer to have to adjust to the boy's unexpected movements, "are here to visit wif you." All of the boys enjoyed participating in the parade. TJ and Evan, as part of the Aladdin float and wearing costumes many would consider as down right beautiful and others as just plain lustful, enjoyed doing a little erotic harem dance to tease the crowds. Teenage girls drooled at the sight of the young, studly boys. Teenage boys and men lusted after their bubble butts and firm bodies. "Hey, TJ," Evan called to his friend, "there's a bunch of guys been followin' us down the parade route." TJ turned around and spotted the group Evan talked about. "What do ya think we should do?" TJ asked. "Wiggle your butt at 'em and let 'em dream. Just remember that butt's private property." The two boys exchanged knowing, and lustful, smiles. * * * * After the parade, the boys were told they could keep their costumes as souvenirs. None of the boys bothered to change out of the costumes before heading back to camp. Upon arriving at the camp all of the boys quickly shed the costumes to be more comfortable. The governor and Amos watched the boys and laughed. Brian and Ian stayed close to their newly appointed protectors. Shortly after arriving back at camp, a dinner of ribs, beef, barbeque beans and salads was laid out for the boys. Still excited and chattering about the parade, joking at the lustful stares the boys thought they saw, all the boys had healthy appetites. Daniel was glad because he knew if the boys ate a lot, they would soon be falling asleep. Danny sat next to Daniel, leaning occasionally against the man's arm for support. Brian and Ian did the same with their men. The youngsters would be lucky to stay awake while they ate. Amos and the Governor were invited to stay with the boys. Sean and Jeremy offered to give up their tent for the three little ones so the men could sleep inside. Arthur told the governor what the boys had offered and assured him the boys were glad to do it. When asked, he pointed the two boys out to the Governor who motioned for the boys to come over. After thanking them, the governor focused on Jeremy. "Jeremy, I've heard a lot about you. I'm pleased to finally be able to meet you. I had hoped that, before I leave here, you and I might have a few minutes to talk. I think you could help us out on a little project we have in mind." Jeremy had no idea what the governor was talking about and gave Arthur a questioning look. Arthur smiled and nodded a reassurance to the boy. "Yes, sir." Was the only answer Jeremy knew to give. Before the evening bonfire and entertainment ended, three little boys were tucked away. At the end of the entertainment, everyone retired inside or to their tents. Sean and Jeremy doubled up with TJ and Evan. "Jeremy," Sean asked, "what'd the governor want?" "I'm not sure. He said he wanted to talk with me and somethin' 'bout maybe I could help 'em with some kind of project." "Project? What kinda project?" Jeremy just shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I know what kinda project I got in mind," TJ announced. "You see all those people lookin' at us tonight? It's a wonder somebody didn't try to plow our asses!" "I told you that ass was private property!" Evan reminded him. "Yeah? And whose private property is it?" TJ teased. "Mine! Maybe I need ta plow it real good right now just ta remind ya," Evan announced as he moved for his lover. "Promises, Promises," TJ teased as he wrapped his arms around his lover and they locked themselves into a passionate kiss. Sean and Jeremy looked at one another. They weren't lovers, but they knew how to make love and they were hormone driven teens. Jeremy moved on top of Sean and kissed the young boy's neck before he licked his way down to the puffy nipples. Sean responded with moans, squirming under his friend and popping an instant hard-on. Jeremy moved his hands down between Sean's legs. Sean opened as wide as he could ready to offer his whole being to pleasure his friend and be pleasured. Jeremy wasn't going to disappoint his friend.
