I Will Be Your Knight

Chapter 17

Time flies by as you and your friends enjoy your summer. You go to the beach everyday, whether it's in the morning before work or in the evening after. Ivan takes you to some of the more scenic places in the area. The two of you take pictures and share many kisses together. Sometimes you do both at the same time.

With friends, work, the beach, and Ivan, you find yourself with two weeks of your summer left. The reality hits you when you're outside picking grapes off the vines creeping up the house. After the initial shock, you start to feel sad. This has been the best summer of your life, and now it has to end.

"Guys, we have a problem," you say walking into the house. Everyone is eating breakfast when you enter.

"What's wrong (y/n)?" Arthur asks with concern in his face.

"Ooooh, (y/n) has grapes!" Feli says excitedly. "Veeee~."

"Feli!" you say exasperated. "I'm being serious." You hand him the grapes anyway. It might keep him quiet.

"So what's the problem?" Toris asks.

"We only have two weeks left of our summer!" you exclaim. The mood in the room quickly dampens. Several people let out a sigh.

"Don't remind us, ma chérie," Francis says as he leans back in his chair, an arm over his eyes.

"Yeah dude!" Alfred says with a scowl. "I don't want to think about that."

"Well my point," you say, starting to lose your patience, "is that we need to do something amazing before summer's over."

"Yeah! Something awesome!" Gilbert yells jumping up.

"What should we do?" Ravis asks.

"Eat pasta," Feliciano suggests with a dreamy look.

"Go to a museum," Eduard suggests as he pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

"Meet some señoritas and hit the club," Toni says.

"None of those things sound like the kind of thing that ends your summer with a bang," you tell them.

Matthew leans over and whispers something to Lili, who then whispers to Vash, who nods in reply. "Um..." Lili begins to say. Everyone turns to look at the petite girl. "Well, Matthew reminded me of a poster we have at work." Some people do a double take when they notice Matthew for the first time. "There's an amusement part that's open for just this week not far from here."

"That sounds great!" Elizabeta shouts.

"Da, I agree." Ivan chimes in. There's murmurs of agreement from everyone in the room.

"Then it's settled," you say with a smile.

A few days later, all 15 of you arrive at the amusement park, which is a few hours from the house. The park is one of those places that's only open in the summer for a short time, but they sure went all out. 

The whole place is bursting with people. A large section of the park is taken up by rides of all kinds. There are smaller ones for younger kids, and also some larger ones that tower into the sky for everyone else. On the other side of the park, there are different vendor stalls and game booths set up for people to look at and enjoy. A few of the paths that wind through the park are lined on both sides with nothing but food stalls. Almost everyone has quit their jobs by now, so they can enjoy what's left of the summer, but they still have enough cash to spend on this. 

"This place is awesome!" Gilbert yells. "I'm going on the roller coaster  first!" He grabs Elizabeta's hand and runs off, the rest of the Bad Touch Trio hot on their heels.
