Lovina didn't know how it happened. She was sitting in the back seat of her brother's car as he drove them both to the amusement park named Six Flags. Lovina's chestnut, wavy hair whipped around her face as Feliciano drove way over the speed limit with the convertible top down in his excitement.
It was their friend Alfred's birthday today, and it was being held at Six Flags. Lots of people were going to be there. 'Just what I need,' Lovina thought, 'More people to yell at.' She was being sarcastic, of course. Like anyone would enjoy yelling at people. It was annoying.
She let her mind wander off until she heard Feliciano say excitedly, "We're here, sorella! (Sister in Italian)". He got out of the car and started running to the admission gate.
"Oi, fratellino! (Little brother in Italian)" Lovina called to him, but he didn't hear over the screaming of kids having fun. Sighing, she stood outside of the car and followed her brother into the park, tote bag in hand.

Soon enough, they got a text message from Alfred. "Hey doods, start le party when you get thurr. Get a lokker hope ya brot bathing suits!!:)" Sigh. He could at least try to spell right. Oh well.
So, they got a locker and got into their bathing suits.
Lovina had chosen to wear her pale green bikini with little tomato patterns. The top tied around her neck and just below her shoulder blades. The bottom fit comfortably on her hips, as if they were made specially for her.
Feliciano wore crimson swimming trunks that stopped just in the middle of his knees. The string around the waistband was black as the midnight sky.
Together, they put their original clothing into the locker and discussed what to ride first.
"I think we should go on the Tornado! Per favore~?" He begged, bouncing just slightly, making the stray curl on the left side of his head bounce. He knew Lovina didn't like wet roller coasters usually, but maybe he could talk her into it. "It'll be fun!"
Lovina paled a little. Why did Feliciano even bring it up? Then again, today was a special day. Lovina picked her tote bag up off the floor and sighed. With a slow nod, she mumbled, "Okay I will... But only this one time! You hear me?"
"Hooray!" Feliciano cheered. He grabbed Lovina's wrist and pulled her into the long line for the ride.
They had a hard time getting the large raft up to the top of the tall platform, but eventually they got it. Lovina looked over the edge of the platform and paled. All she saw was ants; tiny ants of all different colours, shapes, and sizes, yelling and laughing and running around. Now Lovina remembered why she didn't like roller coasters. They were so high...
She looked back at her brother and gulped. They won't let him go on alone, so she had to get on, now. Shaking, she stepped into the raft. Feliciano got in also, though he looked significantly less anxious.
Suddenly, the raft began to move.
Lovina's eyes widened as they went down, down, into the dark, wet abyss.
Then the tunnel opened. The sudden light blinded Lovina for a moment, but what concerned her more was the fact that they were going up the sides of the cone. She screamed when the water splashed up to pelt her face, knuckles turning white from holding on to the raft handles so tightly.
However, her screams of terror soon turned into ones of laughter that matched Feliciano's.
"This is so fucking fun!" She screeched, grinning from ear to ear. Her brother yelled back, "I knew you would like it!" He stopped talking to get the water out of his mouth that splashed into it when they ascended almost all the way up the sides of the cone. After a few more minutes, the ride was over. Now soaking wet, the siblings decided to go back to the locker and wait for Alfred or the others.
When they got there, though, they didn't have to wait long.
