Jack's POV:

"Don't hate me for this." Mark said as he pulled me to another ride. 

I looked at him confused. "Why would I hate you?"

"This is why." He said, motioning to a roller coaster.

"No no no no." I said, trying to pull away. Mark had a hold of my hand and wasn't giving it up.

"Come on, just try it. This roller coaster isn't even that bad. It's for kids." Mark tried to pull me to the ride.

"I really don't want to." I said, looking Mark in the eyes. "I really hate roller coasters."

"Please. For me?" Mark whined, giving me puppy dog eyes.

'Great. I can't say no to him now.' I thought to myself. I sighed and nodded my head.

"Fine, but if I throw up, I'm aiming on you."

"You're not gonna throw up." Mark said, laughing.

We got in line and as we waited, I started shaking again. 

"Jack, you don't have to do this." Mark said, putting his hand on my shoulder. "If it really scares you that much, then I wont force you to do it."

"No, I want to now. I've been afraid of roller coasters my whole life and I'm tired of it." I took a deep breath as I climbed into the car of the roller coaster, Mark sitting next to me. He placed his hand over mine again, comforting me. As the roller coaster started, I grabbed Mark's muscular arm with my free hand. 

"You okay?" Mark asked. I nodded, but then closed my eyes as I felt the sick feeling in stomach.

"Try screaming, it helps." Mark said and then screamed. I took his advice and started screaming. I instantly felt better and it put a smile on my face. I let go of Mark's arm and, as much as I didn't want to, removed my hand from under his. I threw my hands in the air, still screaming and finally enjoying a roller coaster. I looked over to Mark and noticed he was watching me, smiling.

"I knew you could do it!" He yelled, looking at my proudly.

"I couldn't have done it without you forcing me." I yelled back. "Thank you."

"You're very welcome." Mark replied as the ride slowed to a stop. We got off and I was a little disappointed it was over. 

"Can we go again?" I looked to Mark excitedly.

"Yeah, if you want to." Mark said, getting back into line.

Mark's POV:

 Before I knew it, it was getting close to time to leave. I didn't want to go. Today has been the best day ever. I loved not having to worry about making new videos and just getting to hang out with Jack. Don't get me wrong, I love making videos, but I rarely ever get time to just hang out with friends. Especially Jack since I don't get to see him that often in the first place.

"Let's do one last ride before we go." I said, grabbing Jack's hand one last time and leading him to our final ride. I don't know why I kept grabbing his hand, except that after the first time I did it, I kept wanting to do it again. "This is a perfect ride to end the night with because it's so relaxing." 

I read the sign that said 'The Jungle Cruise' and led Jack into line. The lines were all getting shorter because of how late it was getting, so we were able to get on pretty quickly. I sat back and relaxed as the tour guide talked about the mechanical animals on either side of the boat. I heard a yawn beside me and looked over to Jack. 

"Tired?" I asked, smiling at him. "Did Disneyland wear you out?"

"Yeah. Today has been the best day ever." Jack yawned again and rested his head on my shoulder. I was shocked at first, but then smiled.

"Yeah, it has, hasn't it." I had that stupid feeling that confused me again, but I didn't worry about it this time. I just enjoyed the time I got to spend with Jack.

When the ride finished, Jack and I slowly walked back to my car, neither of us wanting to say goodbye to Disney. Jack slept in the car on the way home while I thought about the day. Today really has been an amazing day and I'm glad I could spend it with my best friend.
