The Mansion { A Banana Bus Squad Story }

Chapter Six

Tyler's POV

Today's plans go as following:
1. Go to wet and wild.
2. Flirt with Brock.
3. Chat Brock up to Brian while he chats me up to Craig.
4. Make out with Craig.

Super simple stuff, said no one ever. Anyone who's met me knows how much of a shit actor I am, I can't fake feelings for Brock. Brock may not even be able to do it the other way around. But I can only hope, right?

The scent of pancakes wafts up from the kitchen to my room. Craig and Brian are already downstairs, ready to spend the day slipping and sliding around the theme park. I slowly slump out of my bed and trudge over to my wardrobe. I undress from my pajamas and grab a pair of board shorts then slip them on. I dawdle down the stairs and find everyone huddling around the table eating some marvelous looking pancakes. Lui is slaving away at the stove, cooking everyone a second round of pancakes.

"Good morning sleepyhead," Lui states, briefly looking over to me and chuckling. Everyone glances over to me, and Evan waves. Brock not so subtly stares at my chest. He remembers our plan from last night, obviously. I sneak a glance at Craig. Brian's arm is slung around his shoulders, but Brian is looking funnily at Brock. I look away.

"Where's mine at, Lui?" I ask, facing Lui again.

"They're coming out of the pan right now, come and get them." Lui takes three large pancakes out the pan with the spatula and slaps them onto a plate. I grab the plate and drown the pancakes in maple syrup. I plop down into a chair at the table.

"So what's the plan for today again?" I ask Evan. He clears his throat and puts down his utensils.

"We'll go to Wet 'n' Wild for most of the day, and we'll decide later if we want to do anything tonight," Evan explains.

"All you can eat buffet!" Jon exclaims and he flicks whipped cream onto Evan's cheek. Evan is shocked at first, then he scrapes it off his cheek with his thumb and wipes it on Jon's lips. Jon licks it off. Evan blushes and turns his head away. Craig clears his throat.

"Alright then, we ready to go?" He asks, pushing his glasses up his nose, trying to rid the atmosphere of the awkward occurrence. I wolf down my pancakes and everyone cleans up the kitchen and grabs their belongings.

It was a fairly uneventful ride to Wet 'n' Wild, everyone was wearing the same clothes as me, with a towel slung over their shoulders. Lui was snuggling up to David, Evan and Del were still embarrassed over their ordeal earlier. Brock decided to sit next to me, so to truly start the plan I wrap my arms around him. I didn't look over to see Craig and Brian's reactions.

We pull up in our van and bail out to see the many twisting water slides scattered around. All the families and people around our group look a bit cautious of our group of rowdy boys, but I know that we can tackle these rides as a group or as individuals. We're all tough men.

"Come on guys, what are you waiting for? Lets go in!" yelled Marcel as he locks the van. We all start heading through the gates of Wet 'n' Wild.

"So does anyone want to split up or all go together?" asked Evan.

"Nah, lets all just go together, it will be fun that way," I reply. This will be a great time to flirt with Brock and to chat him up to Brian.

"What do you guys want to go on first?" Brock asks.

"Let's find a map first, then we can work our way around the park," Jon suggests, to which everyone agrees. We found a place to hire lockers, and we shove all of our shit into two of them. Evan races to an information booth and grabs a map. The Super 8 Aqua Racer and the Aqua Loop is closed today, so we head straight to the Constrictor. We got to the park as soon as it opened, so it was fairly crowded, but the majority of people went to the other side of the park first.

We only waited five minutes before Lui was the first one of us to find himself zooming down the slide. His squeaker scream echoes up the tunnel back to our ears. He was placed with a stranger, who is probably very annoyed with his screaming at this point. Then the lifeguard waves off Jon and Nogla. Jon is rather silent throughout the ride, but Nogla's Irish toned yelling makes it's way back up to us.

The lifeguard pulls Craig and I up, he directs me to the back of the raft because I'm much bigger than Craig. He waves us off, and then we are slipping down the slide. Craig whoops as we go down. My arms occasionally bump the sides of them ride. We emerge at the bottom with Lui, David, and Jon waiting there for us. I give our raft to someone else waiting and stand with the others.

We're all drenched now, and the water cascading down Craig's chest is rather distracting. I turn away and watch the exit hole instead. Evan and Marcel come tumbling down. They quickly exit, and no sooner did Brock and Brian come after them.

We all make our way to the next ride, the Kamikaze. Evan hops on the tandem ride with a stranger and is zooming away from us, his muscled back facing us. I glance over to Jon, who is blushing again. Brian and I hop on next. His eyes gleam and his smile spreads. I can see why Craig and Brock are attracted to him, he is a pretty man, but he's not my type. The ride ends soon enough and we wait for everyone again down the bottom.

Next we head to the Tornado. It was a four seater so the seating plan was Brian, Craig, Brock and I. On the second tube was Evan, Jonathan, Lui and David. Our group got ready, this ride actually sounds pretty cool. We all jumped in, the staff member pushed the tube, and then we were flying around in large circles. We headed down a dark tunnel. We quickly came out the other side of the tunnel and we were once again flying around in large circles, but we were in the funnel this time.

We got out at the bottom and waited for the other group with Marcel. He offered to sit this one out. Once they finished, we went on the Black Hole, Mach 5, Mammoth Falls, and SurfRider. We grab a quick but expensive lunch from one of the shops then make our way to the Calypso Beach. It's a slow moving river with tubes to float in, a nice change from the fast paced things we've been doing all day.

David splashes Lui constantly as they go around, and I take the opportunity to talk to Brian while Craig is distracted with Marcel and Brock.

"So, Brian, have you noticed anything strange about Moo lately?" I ask, eyeing him curiously. Brian furrows his brow.

"Not particularly, why?" he responds.

"I don't know, he just seems so friendly and funny lately, and I think he's been working out as well," I say, hoping he replies.

"He's always friendly and funny, and he's always had a nice body, and-" Brian pauses, realising what he just said. He looks around to see if anyone else heard.

"Never mind..." Brian trails off at the end. I grin, sweet victory.

Craig's POV

"So, Craig, how's your relationship with Brian going?" Brock asks me. He's lounging back on the tube, his fingers gently tugging him through the water. To be honest, I don't think we are right for each other, but to break up with him would be awkward for the group.

"Yeah it's going good, I-" I stop when I realise Brock is staring at Tyler. Something unidentified flares within me.

"What are you looking at?" I ask, just to make sure.

"Tyler, he's a very attractive man, isn't he? His eyes just captivate me every time I look at him," Brock swoons. I look over to Tyler who is talking with Brian. Brock is right, Tyler is a beautiful man. Tall, dark, and handsome, and I need to stop with these thoughts.

"Yeah, I guess he is," I admit. Not only is he gorgeous, but he's also kind, and funny, and passionate and- stop. I'm with Brian.

Why am I thinking like this?

A/N: Damn, I haven't uploaded in a long time, but this fic is half over, and I hope you can all stick around until the end. Look up the rides if you don't know what they look like. Seeya!
