**Chapter 27: A Celebration on the Horizon**

The morning sun shone brightly over the palace gardens, casting a warm glow over the heroes as they slowly began to stir from their slumber. Mickey, still grinning from ear to ear, gathered his friends around him with a excited gleam in his eye. "Hey, guys! I've been thinking... now that we've saved the kingdom and all, we should celebrate with a road trip! Just like we planned, remember?" Minnie's eyes lit up. "Ooh, that sounds like so much fun, Mickey!" The others began to murmur in agreement, their faces brightening with excitement. Neo Queen Serenity smiled, nodding her head. "I think that's a wonderful idea, Mickey. You all deserve a break and some time to relax together. Just be sure to stay safe and have fun!" Donald, who had been quietly observing the conversation, suddenly piped up. "Hey, why don't we go to our beach cottage? We've got it for the whole summer ahead, and it's just the perfect place to unwind and have some fun in the sun!" The others looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Daisy exclaimed, "That sounds like a perfect idea, Donald! We can spend our days lounging on the beach, swimming, and just enjoying each other's company." As the plan was set in motion, the heroes quickly began to scatter, rushing to pack up their bags and say their goodbyes. Usagi and her friends were giggling and chattering as they stuffed their suitcases with beachwear and snacks. The Powerpuff Girls were busy arguing over who got to control the music playlist for the road trip. Mickey and Minnie were busy coordinating the logistics, making sure everyone had a ride and that they had enough space for all their luggage. Goofy, as usual, was getting himself into a bit of a mess, trying to cram too many bags into his car. As they all converged on the palace entrance, Neo Queen Serenity appeared once more, a warm smile on her face. "Have a wonderful time, my friends. Stay safe, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything. You will always have a home here in the kingdom." With a final farewell, the heroes piled into their vehicles and set off on their celebration road trip, ready to make some unforgettable memories together. The sound of laughter and music filled the air as they drove off into the distance, the palace and the kingdom fading into the background.
