"I didn't think you guys would mind. You're friends with him, and," you said, beginning to bum at the fact that the guys were upset.

"Of course we love him Kales, we just thought it was just going to be us today. But we don't mind if he tags along," Jimmy said, wrapping an arm around your shoulder to give you a quick side hug.

"Mind if I cut in?" Jeph's voice came from behind you and you felt Jimmy take his arm off you, only to be replaced by the familiar tattooed ones of Jeph.

"Hey babe," he said as he leaned in for a kiss.

You tilted your head back a bit and kissed him.

"I didn't recognize you at first from behind, that's why I called. I thought it was a fan talking to the guys when I finally spotted them. You know you look fairly masculine like this? Minus the figure of course," he said said after he broke the quick kiss.

"This is the Kales we grew up with and loved. Only thing she's missing to make it seem exactly like high school is her skateboard attached at her hip and the faint smell of booze from the night before," Matt said, laughing at the memory.

"Really?" Jeph asked, surprised that this was what you looked like and that that was what you were like in high school.

"One hundred percent really," you said said.

"Huh, weird," Jeph said, shrugging his shoulders.

"So back to my original question. What's first?" Matt asked as the lot of you turned and started walking to where the main path started.

"Bumper cars," Johnny shouted.

"Any objections?" Matt asked looking around at everyone.

"Well then bumper cars here we come," he announced when no one objected.
-xXx-
"I think I have massive whip lash," you said as you rubbed the back of your neck.

You were standing in line for another ride, a zippy looking roller coaster in fact. You had just finished the bumper cars, and you were pretty sure Jimmy was aiming for you, and only you, the entire time. Stupid git. Though poor Johnny got as bad as you did, you were pretty sure Syn and Matt ganged up on him in a massive way. The fans hadn't really started in yet and that made you happy, you were liking being with the guys as just regular normal people.

Well as normal as seven heavily tattooed, pierced, draped in black and chains and large sunglasses, adults in their late twenties looked at an amusement park.

"Me too," Johnny said, mimicking your action of rubbing your neck.

"I think we were ganged up on," you said, stepping up closer to where Johnny was standing.

"I agree," Johnny said, nodding his head in agreement.

"Let's say we stick together, sit with me on the roller coaster so we don't get separated and attacked like I know they're planning to do," you said, looking over your shoulder all paranoid like.

"Sounds like a plan," Johnny said, going along with your act.

You linked arms with Johnny and as the guy at the gate ushered the seven of you in the two of you dashed off for your own seats. All the way up in the front. The two of you jumped into them and waited to be automatically locked in. It was one of those ones where you were attached to the coaster above your head and your feet would dangle out below you. You loved roller coasters, all rides actually for that matter.

As the roller coaster started you grinned like a mad woman over at Johnny who was looking warily at the ground as it was disappearing from under his feet. As you finished mounting the giant climb of the first hill and peered over you felt your heart start to pump a mile a minute.

"Ahhhhhhh," you screamed as you went over, one hand holding your hat on while the other was stuck up in the air.

You shouted over and over again, letting your lungs rip through the air as your arm cut a path through the wind, bend over bend, loop after loop. You looked back and saw all the other guys with their arms up in the air as well, whooping and hollering the same as you. Yup, you all definitely looked like you were sixteen again.

After the ride ended you all gathered around to catch your breaths and smoke, which everyone knows helps in the act of gathering breathable oxygen in correct quantities. Not. Zacky was still scowling and seemed to be throwing you sneers, but you just ignored it. You figured his good streak, his normal self stint was just a short lived pipe dream. So you just snapped back into Zacky wary mode, you just wished it wasn't was so easy for you to slip into a mode where you hated someone. It made your karma not feel right or something, it made your skin itch if you thought about it too much.

"Next?" Syn asked as he got his breath back first.

"Uhhhh, that one," Johnny said as he closed his eyes, spun and stopped, randomly pointing off in some direction.

"The portapottties with baby changing station it is," Syn said, chuckling a bit to himself.

"Fuck off ass, how about whatever is closest to that," Johnny said, punching the tall guitarist in the arm.

You smiled and chuckled to yourself as you all trekked off in the direction of the portapotty with baby changing station that Johnny decided he wanted to try and ride. Jeph wrapped his arms around your waist as you all walked and you leaned back against him, liking the day so far.
-xXx-
By about half way through the day you were loving Jimmy for forcing you to come to the amusement park. Aside from Zacky's slip back into his normal behavior you were having a great day, and had only blown up at Zacky twice. Well three times in all actuality and had yet to take a swing at him, which was a personal record. You all were currently sitting on benches taking a snack break. You were trying to each a fresh caramel apple without getting it all over your chin, and had a steaming giant pretzel with salt and mustard waiting for you on the table, an ice cold beer sitting next to it.

All the guys were in various states of eating their food, all of you eating the sweets first before anything that could be considered "healthy". Jimmy in fact was liberally covered in sticky blue and pink sugar as he was eating cotton candy, basically without using his hands, just shoving his face into it and munching. Hence the psychedelic colored face.

"Grrr, I've got caramel all over my chin. Give me a napkin," you said as you tried getting the sticky sugar off your face and failing miserably.

"I've got a better idea," Jeph said leaning in towards your scowling face.

He proceeded to places kisses all over your lips and face, cleaning you up of all the sugar. He ended by kissing you deeply, and you tasted the sweet of the caramel on his tongue when he pushed it past your lips. You put down your apple on the waxed paper it had come wrapped in and made the kiss deeper as you scooted closer and put your hands up into his hair. Finally you broke apart for air, keeping your eyes closed and smiled at him, opening your eyes slowly.

"Ugch, this is a place where kids are milling around. If you're going to face fuck at least do it where it's appropriate. You make me sick," Zacky said, almost literally vomiting the words out.

Without even thinking, or looking, you stuck your hand down and picked up your candied apple by its stick and chucked it, in one smooth movement, at Zacky. You hit him square in the chest, and while Jimmy and Johnny laughed, and Syn chuckled, Matt frowned at you.

"What?" you asked innocently, putting your arms up in a questioning manner.

"Don't fuck up this day Kales," Matt said, shaking his head at you.

"Oh right, me. I love how it's me who gets told not to fuck up the day when he started it," you said jumping up from the bench and pulling your pants up a bit.

"Kales," Matt said in desperation.

"No. You know what, I'm fucking sick of it, of always being the one that gets come down on. Fuck off," you said storming off in a random direction.

"Kales," Matt said as he started to get up from the benches.

"No Shads, I think it's best if I get this one," Jimmy said standing up and placing a hand on Matt's chest, stopping him from going after you.

As Jimmy left the group to go chase you down Zacky just simply chuckled out loud, feeling fairly proud of himself.

"And off goes her knight in fucking shining armor," Zacky whispered as he watched Jimmy jog after you.

Syn shot him a glance that if looks could kill would have equaled up to Zacky being a smoldering spot on the bench.

"Don't tell me you're on her side now too," Zacky said playfully, a laugh still lingering on his voice.

"Zacky they aren't any sides in this. We're all family," Matt snapped, looking to see if you were coming back yet.

"I think I was given the boot from this lovely family tree a long time ago," Zacky said as he too got up and left the table, leaving a confused looking Jeph with a pissed off looking Matt and concerned looking Johnny and Syn.

Notes

I love that last line so much for some reason.

Who's to blame though? Zacky for being a douche or Kales for inviting Jeph?
It's hard to tell!
