Hey there, everyone; here is the next chapter for your reading pleasure. 

Happy Reading   (:

BAKUGO'S POV

"Woah, we've never been to a fair this big," Kenzo said as we waited to scan our tickets on my phone.

"It's not fair; it's an amusement park. It's here all the time," I explained. "The rides are a lot bigger and a lot cooler." There were going to be rides that Kenzo and Hanako couldn't ride because of the height restrictions, but I'm determined to get them on everything that I can.

"Do the rides go upside down?" Hanako asked.

I nodded. "Some of them do," I said.

"Are we going to ride everything?" Kenzo asked excitedly, looking at the red roller coaster in front of us. The train had just returned, and everyone was clapping happily and cheering.

"We're going to ride everything that we can," I said.

"Midoriya, are you going to ride some rides with us?" Hanako asked as we moved forward in line.

He nodded. "Some of them, yeah." He already told me that he doesn't want to ride certain rides, like the coaster that hangs you in the air before dropping you and a few others that look too intimidating. He's not terrified of coasters, but he doesn't like the butterfly feeling or the feeling of being in suspense. However, I asked him not to say anything in front of the kids because fear is contagious. If the kids don't like it on their own, that's fine, but I don't want them to be scared without even trying it.

When we got to the front of the line, I showed the guy my phone and scanned each of our tickets. "Alright, if I could have each of your wrists," he said. One by one, we each held out our wrists, except Kimi, and a wristband was placed on us. "These are your fast-lane passes. When you get a ride, show the attendant your passes, and they will let you into the fast-pass section."

"Thank you. Where do we rent the stroller? The app said we could get them in the back of the park, but the map was a tad confusing." I asked.

"If you head inside here, take a right. Walk a minute or two, and you'll see a sign that says 'Rentals' beside a large set of lockers on your left. It will be a small building. You can get them there," he said. "Enjoy your day."

"Thank you," Midoriya said before reaching down and grabbing Masao's hand again. We then headed to security, where they searched our bags, tried to confiscate two water bottles, and then made us walk through the metal detector. When Midoriya explained he had medication he had to take, they let him keep the water bottles, but they weren't happy about it. We were quick to walk through the gate, and immediately, Kenzo pointed to the red roller coaster and asked if he could ride it.

"Let's get the stroller for Kimi and Masao first, and then we can pick a ride," I told him before grabbing his hand and leading him in the other direction. Hanako grabbed my free hand just as Masao complained from behind me.

"I don't want stroller," he pouted.

"You don't have to use it if you don't want to, but your feet might get tired," Midoriya explained. "If you want to walk, you can."

Masao cheered, and Hanako asked, "Dad, why does it smell like corn dogs and popcorn?"

"Most amusement parks smell like food," I explained.

"Do they have games?" Masao asked Midoriya.

"They do. They have a lot of games up front," he said. "We'll make our way up there, and we can play some." Again, Masao cheered.
