Chapter 24

         After Chase's proposal to pretend it was Scarlets birthday, they went out.

   Scarlet didn't know where they were going until they were at an amusement park. There were a lot of people walking around of all ages, some with sinner's marks and some without. There were giant structures everywhere, and places that sold things like food. Scarlet was awed at the sight. Her eyes were sparkling as she looked around. "Wooooow! This... Is an amusement park?! Can I really get on the rides?! But... Where did Chase go?" She looked to her side, trying to find him. With no sign of him, she turned around and started walking.

   'Uh oh, I don't really know how to navigate through an amusement par-' "Scarlet!" Scarlet turned around to find Chase in a white and black T-shirt, holding two things. They were held on cones and were fluffy, one pink and one blue. "...Where are you going?" He stood in front of her. Scarlet stared at the things in his hands with her eyes narrowed. "What are those poop-looking things?"

   "Wha- I got this for you! Say thanks, it's food!" Chase held out the blue one to her. She took it, and looked at Chase suspiciously, then looked back at the thing in her hand and licked it. Her face immediately lit up. It was sugary and really good. She started to stuff it into her mouth from the front. "Woah, slow down, Scarlet! Well... I'm going to assume that means you like it. Are you ready to go on a ride yet?"

   Scarlet, whose cotton candy was halfway in her mouth, nodded enthusiastically. "There's a ton of really exciting ones I wanna go on." Chase pointed to his left. Scarlet looked to where he was pointing, spots of cotton candy on her face. "Ooh!"
 
    Per Chase's request, they rode this thing called the carousel first. It had a bunch of animals on poles that went up and down as it spun and played music. Scarlet and Chase sat on a set of horses, one of the only ones. Scarlet was unimpressed, but Chase ("Yay! I'm glad I got the horse!") Was obviously enjoying himself.

    Next, they went on a small airplane thing that spun around in a circle. Again, Scarlet was unimpressed, but Chase ("Woah, we're going fast!") was having fun. They also went on this thing called the teacups, where they sat in a teacup and it spun. Chase was having fun, but Scarlet had her head back. It was boring.

    "Ahh, that was fun! What's next?" "Can we go on something.. A little more exciting?" "Wha- those rides were plenty exciting! What did you wanna go on?!" Scarlet pointed up at the Ferris Wheel, which she had had her eye on since they had driven into the parking lot an hour or two before.

       Chase looked up at it. "So, Scarlet... I have this fear..." Scarlet wanted to go on the ride anyway. "Of heights." He said as he put his head in his hands, trying not to look down. Scarlet was looking past the door with awe.

     "We're getting higher! We're actually going up!" Chase groaned in his hands as he tried his best to keep looking down. "Unfortunately.." Scarlet looked out of the cart, enjoying the view. It was sunset now, and across the water, near the Ferris Wheel, she could see the city and the buildings. Birds were also flying everywhere. "Whenever I see something..." Chase slightly looked up at her.

   "Usually it feels familiar. I know what a building looks like, or what a gun is, but sometimes... I'll see something that's totally new. Like this." She gestured to the sunset. After a small moment of silence, she turned to look at Chase. "Happy birthday, Chase! I was kind of worried that after the day we fought, things would stay like that permanently. I don't know anyone else. I'm alone. So even if my only friend is a detective who is using me to solve a case...I'm still grateful." A small smile graced Scarlet's lips as she brushed some hair out of her face.

     "I'm happy that we came here." She gave him a bigger smile, which took him off guard. It was a genuine smile, one Chase was not used to seeing. "Yeah.... I'm happy too."
