Our Week Off Together!

Fifth Day, Part 2

When the Fair first came to town, Amity first hoped to somehow go with Luz. It would have been the perfect start of the school break, but her fear and uncertainty of whether if Luz would even feel the same kept her from making the first step. It was then she plans to contact and invite Willow first then hopefully have her reach out to Luz and ask her out on her stead.

But when she was awoken by Edric's high pitch scream from encountering the Skullscreamer in the bathroom, the entire day was a blur of suddenly packing up their belongings, booking a hotel, and getting stuck in a room next to the twins with an adjacent door connecting between them. Her personal plan was entirely forgotten as she spent the day miserably working on her homework while trying to block out her surroundings before the twins finally egged her on to go to check out the amusement park with them.

Where Luz, for a reason she has yet to get an answer from, crashed into her from the sky. Now here they are. Returning to the place again with their hands locked together on their first date.

"Ooh, I'm so excited to see the rides!" Luz gleefully exclaims.

"You haven't been on one yet?"

Luz shook her head, "Nope, King couldn't meet any of the height requirements, so we played a bunch of games instead. I didn't want to leave him behind." Nor let him make a scene about how the employees are conspiring against him and all short beings again. It took her a while to calm him down after he manages to rally an impressive number of supporters before ordering them to attack.

They both waited in line to the small booth where they can get their tickets for the amusement rides. Amity felt her arm moving with Luz bouncing up and down in her steps. It's cute to see her goofing around but the attention she's drawing is slowly poking holes through Amity's stonewall-like expression. She feels more like a parent taking their kid out than a girlfriend.

In a poor attempt to hide herself by merely looking away with her other hand raised in front of her face, Amity took notice of one of the closer rides just finishing it's run to let the riders out. "No way! They actually got it!" exclaimed Amity.

Luz perks up at her words and looks over to where Amity is pointing. All excitement and joy on her face cracks like a porcelain mask revealing the bug-eyed look of shock. "What the heck is that?" Luz breathes.

Amity fails to notice Luz's personality shift as she is brimming with her inner child spirit. A joyous feeling that has been long buried but now brought to life with her inner desire fueled by the rush of dating. "It's a Crawler Coaster! One of the fastest rides in the Boiling Isles!" Amity finally turns to notice Luz's dismay and frowns. "Are you not a fan of fast rides?"

Luz shakes her head and says, "No, it's just... I never ridden one that's... alive."

The Boiling Aisles had its share of interesting and magical rides that bears uncanny resemblance to the ones back in her home world, but the instead of a train the Crawler Coaster has a large, centipede-like creature strapped onto the railroads with seats attached onto its carapace. The attendant helps the last customer into their ride then approaches the front where the creature's head is at and jabs it hard with a stick to make it go forward. The creature screeches and charges off with the people on its back, interestingly recreating the sound of a real roller coaster with its many legs scattering across the tracks.

"I'm starting to think this world has something against me," Luz murmured.

"Next in the line, please."

"Luz, that's us." Amity pulls the girl up forward to the counter who is still staring at the giant monster quickly making its rounds through the tracks with incredible speed.
