Corey's mom woke him up early this morning so that they could beat the traffic heading to Six Flags. After picking up Risa and her little brother, they continued on their way to the amusement park. Most of the ride consisted of Ariana and Andre singing along to every song that comes on the radio. Risa happily sings along with them and Corey chuckles from his spot in the passenger seat.

"How come Alonzo didnt come?" Corey asks his mom.

"He had business to take care of," She tells him as they turn into the line to pay for entrance into the parking lot. "Work ties him up most of the time."

"Oh," Corey can just imagine what kind of stuff Alonzo does at work. He's the kingpin, don't they just sit back and let their workers do all the hard work? Then again he's just going by what he's seen in the movies.

"Finally!" Ariana cheers when they've snagged a parking spot. She unbuckle her seat belt and pushes open the door, hopping to the ground. Andre follows close behind her as everyone gets out the car.

"We're gonna have so much fun today!" Ariana grabs Corey's hand and jumps around. Once their mom has locked the door, they begin their fifteen minute walk to the park entrance.

The whole time they walk, Ariana tells him about all the rides they're going to go on and how she's going to play in the water park with Andre. She mentions her yellow and blue bathing suit at least five times. "Ok Ari, stop talking Corey's ear off." Her mother tells her.

"I'm just excited mama, that's all." Ariana responds. She starts to walk faster when they finally make it to the gates. After paying for their tickets and walking through the metal detectors they arrive in the middle of six flags. There's tons of people, especially little kids rushing around and enjoying this nice day.

"Where to first?" Risa asks.

"The water park!" Ariana and Andre exclaim.

It's about eighty degrees out here so Corey can't agree more. As his little sister and Andre skip ahead in front of them, Risa starts up a conversation. "I hope you're not afraid of heights, because I love roller coasters and you're going on with me."

"I'm not afraid of them, I just prefer to stay on the ground." Corey says.

Risa laughs, "Thats too bad, you're getting on a roller coaster with me even if I have to drag you."

"If you say so."

"Come on slow pokes!" Andre shouts as he and Ariana dash towards the entrance of the water park. Corey and Risa quickly catch up to them with his mom taking her time behind them. When they reach the water park, Ariana quickly strips off her shorts and t-shirt and hands them to her mom.

"See, isn't my bathing suit cute?" She smiles, modeling the baby blue one piece with an attached yellow tutu.

"Yeah, I might have to borrow it one day." Risa winks and Ariana laughs.

"Lets go on that." Andre points to a water slide and Ariana nods eagerly.

"I'll stay here with the bags." Their mom says, sitting down on one of the white beach chairs. Corey watches as Risa pulls off her shirt to reveal a black and white bathing suit with a cut out to show off her torso. Her curvy figure is outlined nicely in it as she slips off her shorts to.

"You coming or not?" Risa gestures to his shirt. Corey quickly takes off his shirt and tosses it into his bag, before following them to the water slides. They climb the stares and wait in line for ten minutes before its finally their turn to go down.

"Woo-hoo!" Ariana shouts as she lays down and crosses her arms and legs before sliding down.

"Ahhh!" Andre's high voice can be heard shrieking as he goes down.
