Eventually you came back. It took six cigarettes and a lot of sweet talking on Jimmy's part, but eventually you did. And you felt your face fall when you got back to the the able and saw that Jeph was giving you a pouty look.

"I gotta go babe, Bert just called. Our manager wants a quick meeting with us," Jeph said, standing up as you approached.

"But," you said, feeling like this just wasn't your day all of a sudden.

"I'll come back and meet you here after we're done. Sound good to you?" he asked, grabbing a hold of your hands in his own and trying to look into your eyes.

When you finally caught his glance with your own you saw that he was giving you the massive puppy dog treatment.

"Fine. Go to your damn meeting. But it better be a quick one," you said, sighing in defeat.

"Will do babe, will do. See you later guys," Jeph said as he waved to everyone and jogged away, though only after giving you a quick parting kiss.

You watched Jeph go and then sat down with a humph and pulled out another cigarette, a fresh one behind your ear, and smoked it. About half way through the cigarette you looked up and realized that one, you guys hadn't dashed off to do anything and two, Zacky was missing.

"Where's Zacky?" you asked, scanning the crowds around you.

"Don't start in on him Kales," Matt said warily, not wanting to have to deal with it at the moment.

"Dont harp on me again for no reason Matt. I was simply wondering where he was as I noticed that we were still sitting here and that his presence was lacking. That's all," you snapped at your brother, a little harsher than you had intended.

"Don't know where he is. I guess we made him feel unwelcome at the bench and he got up and stormed off. None of us really felt like following him, we assume he'll return. And if not, he's got his phone, we won't lose him," Matt replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"And speak of the devil," Syn said as he saw Zacky approaching.

"Were you guys waiting for me?" Zacky asked, sounding a little shocked.

"Duh. Now, all are in attendance I say we hit more rides," Jimmy offered.

"I concur," you said standing up and hoisting your pants up in the process.

"We really need to get you a smaller belt for those pants sis," Matt said as he stood up as well.

"But then you lose the entire point, and charm, of the pants," you replied as you hiked them up again on one side as you paused to turn and face your brother.

"You and your clothes," Syn said shaking his head.

"Loser," you said, smacking him on the arm as the six of you walked off for some unknown
destination.
-xXx-
About an hour or two later you were back to your original great mood. Something just seemed to be in the air, and whatever it was was highly contagious to the six of you. You hated to say it, but things got better after Jeph left, and yes you were liking it just being you and your boys, no one else. But you still missed him, just not as much as before.

All of you had gone back to to your laughing selves. You and Johnny even skipped through a little kids wacky world set up, skipping and hopping along the wavy brightly colored paths in-between the crooked brightly colored houses. It felt nice, and you even forgot your little spat earlier, whatever was in the air had simply rubbed it from your mind.

"Now what?" you asked, once again adorning the back of Jimmy piggy back style.

"Tiltawhirl. No ifs, ands, or buts," Syn said, pointing off towards the ride.

"Spin and puke it is," Jimmy said as he marched off towards the ride, your combined form in the lead of the group.

At the ride Jimmy dropped you off his back and you mingled into the group as you all waited for your chance to get on. You loved this ride and were looking forward to it, you loved to lean and make it spin even more, you once made Matt puke on the ride. Hence Jimmy calling it the spin and puke, and you wondered if Matt had caught onto that. You looked up and over at your brother and were guessing he had by the fact that he was looking slightly green in the face.

You chuckled to yourself and scanned your eyes off of him and saw Zacky smiling evilly, but in a playful way, up at your brother, he must have realized the same thing you had. You paused to look at him while he wasn't paying attention to you, while he was occupied. He still looked the same as he had growing up, just a little more rock star. Being famous had only refined what he already was basically. You knew you didn't look the same, for the most part. But there was something nice about the fact that he hadnt change on the outside any from everything.

"Excuse me," a voice said from behind you.

You turned and saw a group of kids standing behind Matt and Johnny, the kid in the front having been the one to have spoken as it looked like he had tapped Johnny on the shoulder. And even though Johnny was the shortest in the group, being the same height as you, this kid still only came to like his shoulder.

"Yeah?" Johnny asked as he and Matt turned to face the kids.

"We were wondering if we could ride the ride with you guys, my friends and I," the boy asked.

It was cute and all, and you were surprised that it hadn't happened earlier. You were just glad that it was fan fans and not the screaming, barely clad groupies.

"Sure," Johnny said with a smile, taking the liberty of speaking for the whole group, though you knew they all felt the same way.

Eventually it was your turn up at the front of the ride. The guy was portioning everyone off into the half bucket seats, and as it turned out you were going to have to go by yourself. There wasn't anyone else in line at the moment except for a large group of girls who didn't want to split up. You hated going alone.

"Sorry darling, you're all by yourself," the guy at the gate said as he pointed to your bucket.

"No prob," you said as you walked over and climbed in.

Yours was facing away from everyone else's, it looked out over the crowds of milling people. You always loved to people watch, wondering what was going on in each of their heads, what their deep secrets were. Was that soccer mom secretly having an affair? Was the older balding gentleman really a closet cross dresser with a passion for red stiletto heels? Everyone in your mind during these times led such secret fantastic lives. Not that yours was dull or anything. But your thoughts were interrupted by someone banging on the top of your bucket seat.

"I'm comin along for the ride," a voice said from just out of your side sight, blocked by the curved side of your seat.

You looked up in shock and watched as Zacky stuck one long leg in and then as the rest of him followed. He sat down beside you and then pulled the silver metal bar down onto your laps. You simply looked at him like he had lost his mind, or sprouted another head. Something.

"These things suck by yourself," he said simply, still looking forward.

You shut your hanging mouth, and picked your figurative jaw up off the dirty floor of the seat and looked out forward once again. If you had continued with your staring you would have caught him looking at you out of the corner of his eye, but you didn't. So your loss.

Eventually the ride started, and you griped the handrail in front of you intent on not sliding into Zacky. Though try as you might as soon as you whipped around one turn you slid across and right into Zacky, causing you both to grunt from the impact. You looked up at him, and smiled, warily, but a smile nonetheless. When he returned it, mostly, you loosened your grip a little, not so wary of bumping into him now that you knew he wasn't going to freak out on you.

At the next turn you saw him lean dramatically and pull on the bar, he was trying to get it to whip. So at the next turn that came up quick you leaned and pulled with him, causing your seat to fly around in circles. After the third time whipping around in circles you were laughing, and out loud as well. Zacky was a good Tiltawhirl partner, his overly large arms that you made fun of constantly came in handy, they made for easy whipping of the seat.

You caught sight of the other guys and dared remove a hand from the metal bar to wave frantically at them. Though your timing was a bit poor and you were slammed once again into Zacky since you didn't have a good enough grip as Zacky whipped it around.

By the end of the ride you were laughing so hard you were pretty sure you were going to pee your pants. Jimmy had been making ridiculous faces at you the whole time, getting the kids he and Matt were with to join in on it. And then in Syn and Johnny's seat with the kids, Johnny was making kissy faces at Syn who had his arms crossed and was not looking very pleased about the whole thing. All in all it turned out to be a memorable Tiltawhirl experience, without having anyone puke. As you all piled off and the guys said goodbye to the kids you all continued to laugh a bit about the ride.

"Next time I'm NOT riding with Johnny," Syn said, still looking put out about the whole thing.

At his statement everyone burst out laughing, so hard in fact you were afraid Johnny was going to pee his pants. Syn even eventually cracked a smile at it, even more so when Johnny made a mad dash for a portapotty. Guess he really did almost pee his pants. When he finally came back he had a look of complete and utter satisfaction written all over his face, like he had just had the best sex of his life.

"Ferris wheel," you gasped, pointing up behind the guys to the giant wheel slowly moving in circles.

Okay so I lied, I think the amusement park trip lasts SIX chapters.
Wow, can you tell it's been a while since I reread my shit and counted the chapters?
