Adam was so bored. Once again he was at a boring shop in Beverly Hills. He couldn't even pronounce the name of this place. He sat in a chair watching Verosika look at clothes that all looked the same. "How does this look?" Verosika held up a pink heel.

"Tall" Adam stated.

Verosika gave him a look. "What is your problem? This is our fifth date and you look like you have a turd up your ass" Verosika was getting tired of it. She was about to check herself back into rehab to get away from Adam.

"I'm bored" he leaned back into the chair. "I'm begging you can we please do something else!" Adam hated being bored.

"What do you have in mind" Verosika huffed annoyed. "You haven't exactly been giving me anything to work with."

Adam sat up. "We're in LA. There are a million things to do here."

"Okay keep going" Verosika was getting annoyed. "Get to the point."

"Hear me out. We got to Disneyland?" Adam needed to do something.

Verosika looked at him oddly. "Now?"

"Why not it's the middle of the day. We can just go and hang out." Adam told her. "I just need to do something that isn't shopping. We can ride some stuff. Take pics of us kissing at the fireworks and call it a night"

Verosika sighed. "Okay, why not?"

Adam had not been to Disneyland in a long time. He had no idea how much went into him going. He and Verosika had their own team to escort them around the park. They could also cut lines since they were super famous. Adam looked around. This place was so dreamy and artificial. Everything here was curated for perfection down to the smells.

"Let's go ride the Matterhorn!" Adam's eyes lit up. He looked at the giant mountain and knew he had to ride it.

"What about my hair" Verosika touched her hair.

Adam rolled his eyes. "It's fine come on" he grabbed her hand and dragged her onto the ride. He very much enjoyed it. The fun twists and turns were exhilarating. He was tempted to now travel to Switzerland. Verosika on the other hand looked nauseous.

"I need to throw up" she screamed. She was behind Adam on the sled.

"What?" Adam tried to turn around. But it was impossible on the sled.

"I need to barf" she yelled again. She was miserable. The ride finally ended. Verosika bolted off the ride and vomited into a trash can. "Oh my god" she threw up again.

"Eww" Adam looked at her in disgust.

She wiped her mouth and looked at Adam. "Fuck you. That was terrible" She then tried to fix her hair.

"I'm sorry" Adam wanted to laugh. She looked terrible so unlike her usual appearance. "Why don't we ride the Haunted Mansion" he knew that ride was indoors and laid back.

"As long as it's not that death trap" She looked at the Matterhorn in disgust.

Adam and Verosika walked up to the Haunted Mansion. He had to admit the house looked beautiful. The NOLA architecture looked so out of place for LA. But fit in perfectly for Disneyland. They walked in to ride. Adam did enjoy skipping the line. He waved to adoring fans as he walked onto the ride. He and Verosika sat down in the doom buggy as it was so called. "I'm excited about this ride" Adam smiled. He liked how creepy it was. He knew Lute would enjoy it.

Verosika just shrugged and laid back. She did look rough. The entire time Adam rode the haunted mansion he couldn't help but think of Lute. The creepy atmosphere was right up her alley. She would love the ghost bride who killed her husbands. She would love the parlor tricks used to scare guests. She would enjoy the sound of children screaming out in fear. The ride sadly came to an end. "That was great!" Adam knew he had to take Lute here.

"It was alight" Verosika shrugged.

As they walked through Frontier Land Verosika stopped in her tracks. "Oh my god!" Verosika gripped Adam's shoulder.

"What" Adam was in pain from Verosika.

"It's Blitzo and his weird owl boy toy" she seethed with venom.

"What?" Adam did not understand what she just said.

Verosika grabbed Adam's head and made him look at a couple. One of them was short and had darker skin. The other was super tall and had salt-and-pepper hair. However, they both looked happy. "I hate them so much! They're both cheaters!" She was about to go over there and decapitate them. "I'm going to kill them!" she started to march over there.

"Stop" Adam grabbed her and faced her to him. "Don't do that. Trust me I get what it's like to be cheated on". He could not afford for Verosika to lose her shit at Disney of all places.

Verosika looked at Adam. "Lilith right?"

"No, it was the Queen of England. Yes, it was Lilith!" Adam didn't mean to snap. But everyone in the entire world knew about Adam's divorce. "You just have to move on even if it's hard. I get it I do. But a public meltdown is not a good choice or look"

Verosika swallowed the lump in her throat. "I know but's just so hard."

"I'm sorry I really am" Adam gave her a sincere look. "We can leave"

Verosika looked at the happy couple. "No" she looked back at Adam. "The best revenge is success" She grabbed Adam's hand. "Let's ride the hell out of everything"

"Okay!" Adam smiled. Happy Verosika was letting loose.

Hours had gone by. Adam was having a blast. He had so much fun riding all the rides. He also thought it was funny how Mr. Toad's wild ride took him to hell. It was random but funny to him for some reason.

"Ready for fireworks?" Adam asked holding Verosika's hand.

She was eating a churro. "Yes that sounds like fun"

They of course had access to an exclusive spot for fireworks. They sat down on a grass patch and the show started. It was beautiful seeing all the colors dance up in the sky.

"Hey thanks for a fun day" Verosika leaned into Adam. She looked up at the fireworks.

"Yeah I'm glad you agreed." he watched a yellow and white firework shoot up. "I really did not want to go shopping again" He was done with Rodeo Drive for a very long time.

"Well, I'm not," Verosika said proudly. She then saw out of the corner of her eye people taking pictures. "I guess we need to kiss real quick?"

Adam quit looking at the fireworks. "Oh um yeah." He leaned in and kissed her. Lips tasted like cherry. Funny he never noticed that.

"That's good" she pulled away. "Hopefully that will get out on the tabloids. I'm sorry if acted out of line today. I just hate Blitzo with every fiber of my being"

"I get it. Trust me. Getting cheated on is the worst" Adam was still messed up from everything.

Verosika nodded. The fireworks finished up. Adam was happy today went well. Verosika was actually easy to deal with. He wouldn't mind being friends with her after everything. This whole fake dating thing wasn't terrible and it got his mind off Lute. He knew she would never love and he needed to move on. Who knows maybe Verosika is the one?
