  The movie night turned out better than I thought. By the end of it, I had actually forgotten my anger. We slept off sprawled out on the couch/floor.

"Rise and shine pajama heads" mom shouted as she pulled the curtains apart letting in a murderous stream of sunlight.
"Aah! The light! It burns!" Alan said dramatically as we were all forced to wake up. Mom laughed.
"Wake up. Y'all need to tidy up my living room and get ready for breakfast. I believe Kurt and Alan have a change of clothes because we are going to the amusement park afterwards." Mom said. Tori whooped. Kurt hugged mom.
"Mrs Summers, I just want to let you know how awesome you are." Alan said to mom. Turning to me he said, "Ki, you just might be my stepdaughter in a week"
I laughed. Eww. I could have gone my whole life not knowing that and I would have lived.
"Um ok people. Let's get to cleaning." I said.
  Mom and Caleb had left us to take care of upstairs. Tori and I headed to the kitchen to do the dishes or the cups more like cause we hadn't exactly eaten during movie night. Kurt and Alan took care of the living room; vacuuming all the popcorn on the floor and dusting up. Cleaning up took less time than I imagined.

"Aaaaaaaaah!!!" Alan was screaming: no, screeching beside me. We were on the biggest roller coaster ride in the park. Mom and Caleb had chosen the ride. Tori looked like death was not too far away and Kurt looked like he was going to throw up.
"Bleeeeeeech" I looked back. Kurt threw up. I laughed. I was having so much fun. Mom had made it a tradition to bring Caleb and I to the Amusement Park once a month and we'd NEVER missed. Ever. Cale and I had started on the big rides as soon as we were big enough. We always challenged each other as to who could go on as many rides as possible without feeling queasy. For some odd reason mom had joined in after a while and she's been unbeaten ever since, so we were pretty much used to this ride but the excitement is just something.

"Remind me I'm not a Summers next time we come here." Kurt said holding his head as we all came down from the ride. Mom, Cale and I laughed. Tori held on to my arm to steady herself.
"Roller coasters. Bad." She said. I giggled. Alan just held his stomach.
"I'm never doing that again. Thank you." He said matter-of-factly.
"Dude. You scream like a girl." Caleb said to him, laughing.
"I do not." Alan retorted.
"Uhh from the ringing in my ears right now, I'd say Cale is right. You do scream like a girl."
I said to Alan. He shot me a death glare which just made me laugh harder.
"Ok folks. That's enough. We still have an hour and thirty minutes to kill so we're splitting up into twos. Me and Cale, Tori and Kurt and Ki and Alan. In this time, you have the liberty to do anything within the confines of this park. We'll meet back here at exactly 4:15. Capische?" Mom said. We all nodded in agreement.

"Gosh Alan! Don't be a wuss" I said. I had challenged him to a 'joust'. We'd be on horses with guides and we had to try to knock each other off the horses. Alan was chickening out.
"Kiera, I cannot put all this sexy at risk of getting bruised." He said, gesturing to himself. I laughed. He grabbed my hand and dragged me towards a stuff toys stand. He wanted to win me one. I smiled inwardly.
"I  see you'd like to win something for your girlfriend eh?" The man at the stand said as we walked up.
"Yes. Yes I would." Alan said.
Wait. Did he just refer to me as his girlfriend? How is that even possible? I thought.
"Well then boy, you'll have to hit the bullseye" the man said handing Alan the pistol. Alan winked at me and smiled.
"Watch this" He said as he blew me a kiss. Woah there Alan. Take it easy. My face must be beet red. I hope he didn't notice. I lowered my head pretending to move hair out of my face to hide the hot flushes. Don't get me wrong. I may like Tori, but, Alan was just a different specimen of male. Lord have mercy.
