Adventures Await! (INCOMPLETE)

-two-

Apologies in advance for the long descriptions. Enjoy!

Ugh, this car ride is taking a while.

Raven opened her eyes once to place her earbud back into her ear. Once satisfied, she pressed play on her MirrorPod looked outside the tinted window of the van. Trees passed by them as they drove on, and even though it had only been about eleven minutes, the girl felt her body being taken by sleep. It had already drizzled once, which didn't make any sense to her because the sun was still bright and shining. She just assumed that Mother Nature was just being weird today. 

Just when she was about to doze off, Dexter's soft voice called to her. "Uh, Raven?"

As a response, Raven hummed tiredly.

"I think you may want to look outside the window." His voice was laced with happiness.

Rubbing her eyes open, she did as she was suggested and a squeal exited her lips once she saw what was in front of her. 

"OH MY GRIMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Raven shrieked, bouncing up and down in her seat when she saw the building outside of her window. All lethargy was forgotten and her face returned to life. "Are we seriously arriving to the Ever After Sports and Daredevil Center????" She turned to Apple, who was already sporting a smile on her lips.

"Surprise!" Apple said before Raven spastically flailed her hands. Darling and Dexter were bouncing behind them upon seeing the building.

"How did you...? When did you...? How much did...? Oh, you are the greatest best friend forever after in the entire Magical Universe, Apple!" Raven reached over and captured her in a hug, squeezing her so tightly that they could have been Siamese twins.

The van pulled up to the front of the circular structure, and the driver let them out. Apple paid him for his services while the other four stood in awe. There was a reason to. They were standing in front of the new obstacle course arena that Raven has only dreamed about going. From rigid rope bridges over real dragon fire to lasers and crocodile booby traps, this was named as the place of daredevils. And they were going. Correction, they were there. Raven could feel the adrenaline in her toes.

"What are we still standing around for? Let's go!" Apple sanitized her hands after handling the money before rightfully leading the group up the sloped cobblestone path to the door.

"Allow me," Daring swung the glass door open. Dexter and the girls thanked him and stepped inside, marveling at the five million dollar structure like little children in a sweet shoppe.

The interior design of the structure was just as stunning to look at as the hexterior, maybe even a little more. Guests first stepped onto a transparent glass floor that was six feet long, fifteen feet wide, and twenty-one inches in bulk.  Under the glass was water because the rest of the "floor" was converted into a pool/coy pond that was six feet deep and counting. If the designers were careless, the drastic design would have prevented any visitor from going in without having to jump and and swim up to the check-in desk. However, for an additional daredevil touch, there were strategically disconnected stone platforms to walk across. One trip up, and a guest would be swimming with the fish, so-to-speak.

Also joining the outlandish design, behind the check-in desk, there was a natural rock climbing wall that reached to the ceiling, completed with a rushing enchanted waterfall that emptied into the water below their feet. Long vines hung everywhere (it was Ever After, after all). The entire atmosphere was inviting and had luminescent colorful lights in the water and around the waterfall.

"Oh my Grimm, this is so cooooooooooooool!" Darling shook-squealed, unable to contain her joy.

"I know, right?" Apple's sweet voice shook a bit as she peered over the railing and eyed the huge fish in the water, subtly announcing that she wasn't so convinced anymore.
