Are You Happy?

Chapter 17: "SNOW!?!"

"The last place to visit is Chi Kingdom the rocky desert."

"A desert?" Maverick asked after Roman finished explaining. "A freakin desert?? You're doing this on purpose cause I'm coming along, aren't you??"

"Maybe." Roman smirked.

They weren't leaving to Chi Kingdom yet. They still had a few more activities planned at Nurahgah. One of them being zip-lining.

They were all standing in line waiting to zip-line down into Nurahga's magical forest. It was the best way to see everything with a spectacular view.

Everyone was excited except for Qing-Qing and Roman. Qing-Qing was concerned for Roman who was inhumanly pale and shaking like a leaf on a windy day the closer they became in line.

"Are you going to be okay?" She asked clinching tighter to his hand. He didn't want to seem weak again so he forced a smile at her. "I want to do it. It's just the nerves." "You'll do great." She smiled.

Cameron went down first, then Maverick and Qing-Qing was waiting for Roman to go next. He shakily stepped out to the edge trying to recollect his nerves as his mind went all spiny.

"You can do it!" He heard Qing-Qing shout from behind him. He wanted to believe so too but looking down made all his courage vanish. "I don't think I-" He started to say as he began backing up but suddenly the staff member gave him a shove not hearing his last words.

Roman went zooming down the zip-line screaming as high pitched as possible while clinging onto the rope for his dear life.

"Deep breaths." Qing-Qing repeated as she patted Roman's back. He was sitting down on a bench huffing big raspy breaths unable to stop shivering. The zip-line freaked him out and he felt as though he would never be the same.

Cameron and Maverick were standing over them watching. They both felt bad but didn't know what to say so they let Qing-Qing do the comforting.

When evening came they all went out to eat at a restaurant that gave you a magnificent view of eating in nature. You sat at a bar where noodles are sent down a bamboo chute 'waterslide' and you must catch your meal with chopsticks. In front of you is a beautiful view of a waterfall that flowed down into a pond where goldfish were swimming.

It was truly amazing. Everyone loved it! In fact, Maverick and Cameron might've loved it too much. Instead of eating, they kept catching the sliding noodles. It wasn't a very good idea because other customers became riled up about it.

"Maverick stop!" Roman quietly shouted as Maverick caught another sliding batch of noodles. "Okay, okay, that was the last one." "You're plate is stacked!!" Maverick glanced at his plate that was overflowing with noodles.

He made an "Eh" face and took a bite of them. Roman glanced over Maverick to see Cameron who also was still catching noodles. "He is such a bad influence." Roman thought face-palming.

"This way everyone!" Maverick yelled taking off onto a trail followed by Cameron. Qing-Qing and Roman walked after them holding hands. They were taking a night-stroll along the trails. Even though it was night, everything around them was still so bright due to the starlit sky.

"I think Cameron has takin a good liking to Maverick." Qing-Qing commented observing them laughing ahead. "I think so too. He was so lively today I almost didn't recognize him."

"That's good." Qing-Qing yawned. Roman shifted his gaze to her to see sleepiness in her eyes. "Are you tired?" She shook her head as another yawn came out. He laughed then bent down kissing her on the cheek.
