"That was fun!" I squeal and hear him chuckle. 

"Yeah it was...oh wanna get some ice cream?" He points at the ice cream cart which is a few feet away from us.

"Sure, I'd like some." I say and we both walk to the ice cream cart. 

"Two cones...uh Meriliya?" 

"Hm? Sorry what?" I quickly turned around to him. In the distance I see Fallon with some guy laughing. I smile sadly. 

"What ice cream would you like?" I look at the different flavours through the glass. 

"Chocolate chip." I point at the glass and we both get our ice creams. He goes for strawberry mixed with vanilla with a few sprinkles on it. Nice. I should really start trying out other flavours besides chocolate. I feel like I'm missing out or something. We thank the lady and walk away licking our ice creams. 

"So...how was your day?" He asks just as he sits down on a small bench. I sit down, keeping a little distance between us. 

"It was good." I smile and then divert my attention back to the ice cream. 

"That's good." He says and continues. "What are you planning to major in?" He asks and I lift my finger indicating to wait. "Okay?" He asks with a face. 

"What am I planning to major in?" I repeat his words. "I'm thinking Music? But there's also English." I tell him and he nods. "Can we go on another ride? Please?" I ask him seconds later. He raises his eyebrows, obviously surprised. 

"And this coming from the girl who was like 'I'm scared! I can't. We're gonna die! Ahhh' a few minutes ago." he mocked my previous words and I couldn't help but laugh at his attempt to imitate my voice. 

"I don't sound like that." I laughed

"Sure." He smirks and I swat his arm before running past him to another ride in the park which appears to look like a roller coaster. Probably a roller coaster. "So are we playing tag then?" He says from behind me and I laugh. 

"Maybe!" I shout, turning back for a minute to see him running behind me. I laugh and run faster in search of more rides to go on. (Note! I don't like roller coasters haha!) 

"Wait! Wait!" I stopped running. I turned around to see him bent down with his hands on his knees. 

"Good workout eh?" I tease and ruffle his hair laughing right after. 

"Okay, okay now, miss Tease! " He whines, making me laugh even more. 'miss Tease' huh? 

"C'mon, can we go on another ride?" I ask again. I'm actually having a lot of fun here and I don't want to leave. I wish I could spend time like this every day. 

"Okay. Which one?" He asks when he stands up following me. 

"How bout...oh, oh" I point at a distance and run towards it like a child. Well, it's my first time being at an amusement park after all.

"That's called a scrambler!" He shouts from behind and finally catches up with me. 

"Oh. It'll be fun, c'mon" I grab his hand but he doesn't budge. I look up to see him already looking at me. "What's wrong?" I ask him when I see no humour in his face. 'Is he scared?' I couldn't help but think.

"To be honest, I'm kinda scared of that ride, cuz you might not come back alive." He says 

"Whoa." I say silently, obviously surprised. "Okay let's go on something else then." I suggest and walk to the other side before I hear him laughing. Hard. I turn around confused and see him laughing so hard with his hand clutching his stomach even. 
"What's so funny?" I ask walking towards him.
