Heart to Heart

       (Pic unrelated)  

       You pulled up to ODD World, still mad about locking your door from the inside. But, you shouldn't come mad. You took a few deep breaths in and out, getting ready. "You've got this, (Y/N). You've got this..." You exit your car, lock it, and shove the keys into your pocket. You walk towards the gate, which was unlocked. You open it to see Red, waiting for you at the side. You smile, and pull the letter out of your pocket. "So, this is your way of asking someone on a date?" You ask him playfully.

      "A date? This is merely a... a little professional get together," Red joked with a twinkle in his eye. You smiled at the red goober. He held out his arm for you, and you two locked arms, in one of those fancy courteous manners (I cant explain it any other way yall I'm sorry).

       "Wow, what a gentleman," You teased, giving him a cheeky grin. "I see you also lost the lab coat. Why is that?" You and Red began walking down to the main path of ODD World, arms linked and footsteps almost perfectly in sync.

       Red shrugged and replied, "I decided that maybe my lab coat wasn't the best thing to wear. I thought I might switch it up?" You rolled your eyes.

      "Well, you definitely put in a LOT of effort to 'switch it up'," You responded sarcastically. He tried to give you a "your not funny" look, but his eyes were to soft. You laughed at his attempt though. You turned your head to look at the park. Man, it's been a while since you've been able to enjoy what this park has to offer. Work kind of... ruined the magic. Dulled it. You looked around at the place, your jaw slightly open. Red seems to notice you staring at the park.

       Red sighed. "Let me guess, you are interested in engaging into the amusements and games in the park?" He asked, eyes narrowed. You tilt your head at him, a bit confused by his wording. Red rolls his eyes and restates, "You want to play the games, don't you?" You smile and nod. Red let's out a breath, before saying, "...Okay."

       "Yes!!" You exclaimed, before un-linking arms with Red and looking around at the rides. Your eyes wandered towards the Orange Cavern Coaster, and an imaginary light bulb went off in your head. The roller coaster had been closed for ages, you might have a chance to go on it if you could convince Red. You grab his arm and try to pull him towards the coaster. "C'mon, let's go to Orange Cavern Coaster!" You exclaimed, but he wouldn't budge.

       "Now, hold on. The Orange Cavern Coaster has not been finished yet for... certain reasons," Red said, holding out a hand, as though trying to calm you down. Your joy about the roller coaster disappears, and so does your smile. But, nevermind that. You've survived this park without the coaster, you can still have fun. 

       Red seems like he's about to comfort you, but right then you see the carnival games (idk if there are actually carnival games in the rainbow friends chapter 2 map, but we'll just go with it). You smile again, grab Red's hand, and pull him over towards the games. And this time, he doesn't resist.

       You two play a few games, like ring toss and those duck games. Red doesn't seem to be enjoying the games, but he looks like he's okay just watching you have fun. Well, until the water shooter game. Red was holding the water gun like an actual gun, hitting all the targets on first try. You stared at him as he did, seeing the gleam in his eyes. The joy. The exhilaration. "Umm... your really good at this... almost TOO good," You said to him with a dramatic, suspicious look on your face. 

       Red tilted his head to look at you. "I... practice," He responded.

       "Yeah, 'practice'. Reminds me that I'm on a date with a murderer," You tease, giggling. His arms go down and he turns to you, staring for a minute. He then holds up the water gun and shoots it at you, getting water all over you. You gasp, staring at your soaked shirt, before grinning. "You ass!" You yell, holding up your water gun and shooting at him. He holds up his arms, as if to block it.
