Jack's POV

There was a restaurant that I recalled us passing on our entry into Fantasyland. We decided to eat there and began to retrace our steps. As we walked I heard a grumbling sound, I was pretty hungry but knew it wasn't me. I glanced over at Mark out the corner of my eye and he looked back at me, biting his lip. "Sorry, I'm starving", he muttered. His apologetic eyes made me chuckle.

Once I saw chairs and tables with little red and white parasols on them, I knew we were there.

It was a really nice day so we decided to share a couple of pizzas and sit outside. It was nice to relax for a moment. I briefly took of my hat while under the shade of the parasol. The six of us started chatting about the day and all the rides we'd been on so far as we ate. A few children that had their faces painted walked by, clutching onto their parent's hands. One of them looked in my direction and tugged on his father's arm. He pointed out that I had green hair which made me grin. After we were done with our pizza I noticed that Mark had some tomato sauce in the corner of his mouth. I plucked a napkin from a pile near the edge of the table and gently told Mark to hold still. My hand met with the side of his face and I wiped the sauce from his mouth. When I let go his eyes grew wide and I looked at the others to see they were wearing a mixture of surprised and confused expressions. 'Jack? What the hell? Why didn't you just tell him he had sauce on his mouth?', I scolded myself in my thoughts. I tried to play it cool and suggest we should check out the 'Tomorrowland' area next. I slowly put my hat back on. We stood up and started for the next section a rather awkward silence.

My path was suddenly blocked by rushing children. I looked to my right to see what all the commotion was about and saw a guy in a striped shirt holding masses of balloons. Children cluttered in large numbers to get one. It made me smile when each of them skipped away with delight, balloon in hand. I heard whispers coming from behind me and quickly turned my head to see Ken and Felix giggling about something. They noticed I was watching them and slowly gazed in opposite directions. I shot them a suspicious look before walking on normally again. Their whispers became muffled sounds; I knew they were up to something. "What are they doing?", Ryan questioned. He and the rest of us stopped in our tracks. Ken and Felix re-approached the group and they appeared to be holding balloons. Ken was holding a blue coloured balloon, while Felix held a green coloured balloon.

"Balloons? Seriously?", Mark cackled.

"Yeah we just thought these balloons looked really nice together, y'know?", Ken stated as he and Felix smirked.

"Right...", Mark responded with a perplexed look.

Matt and Ryan didn't seem to catch on either. I knew exactly what they were getting at and I rolled my eyes.

Suddenly, I started to hear squeaking sounds behind me. Mark must have heard it too and we briskly turned our heads in sync to look behind us. Ken and Felix were pushing the balloons together and they started making kissing sounds. I scowled at the pair of them. They moved the balloons away from each other.

"Oh Mark, you're so handsome", Felix said as he moved the green balloon, failing at trying to imitate my Irish accent.

"You too Jack, I love you so much", Ken mumbled in a deeper tone.

Again they pushed the balloons together, the rubber squeaking as they did so. My face grew warm from embarrassment and I couldn't look at Mark to see his reaction to their stupidity. By this point Matt and Ryan were also looking over their shoulders and laughing. I snatched the balloons from their hands.

"I swear to god if you two don't stop, I'm gonna shove these balloons so far up your arses you'll be shitting rubber for weeks!", I hissed.

"Alright, jeeez", Felix scoffed.

I stood there with the balloons in my hand pondering what to do with them as I didn't want to give them back to Ken and Felix. But then Mark asked if he could have the blue balloon and I dubiously held it out. He took the balloon and attached it to a loop at the top of his jeans. Then he shrugged and continued walking. It was a good idea so I attached the green balloon to my jeans and followed him. As I followed Mark I stuck up my middle finger to Ken and Felix, they only chuckled in response.
