"You're crazy." Was all I said.

Ethan wanted me to go on a rollercoaster with him and the team. It was the weekend and we all decided to go to the fair. I refused to, that resulted in Cody placing me over his back and carrying me to the car. I'm not talking to him at the moment.

"C'mon Kensi," Ethan begged, dragging out the I in my name.

"No, and this time I am serious. Nothing you can say will make me go on that death trap," I argued.

"Chase, talk some sense into her," Ethan told Chase. He obviously gave up in trying to convince me.

"Kensi, you're not going to die-"

"Says you! Do you know in almost every movie or book something goes wrong!" I said, using my hands to emphasize my point.

This was ridiculous. I refuse to go on that deadly monster.

"You're scared, why?" Chase asked, he actually looked concerned.

My pupils dilated but I quickly said, "I don't want to go."

The boys sighed and let it go. I sat on a nearby bench and pulled out my phone. I felt a presence sit beside me. When I looked up my eyes locked with Zack.

"Hey Zack," I greeted. He smiled in return and said, "Hi."

"I don't mean to be rude, but why are you here?" I asked, my curiosity gets the best of me.

He flashed a toothy grin and said, "It would have been mean if we left you all alone, and to be honest, I didn't really want to go on the rollercoaster either," Zack confessed.

"Wanna go for a stroll?" Zack asked in a British accent, which was hilarious.

"Yes m'lord," I replied, doing a little bow. We both then burst into fits of laughter.

We walked to the beach and Zack and I spoke about a plethora of topics. The sun was setting and it was the most magnificent sight.

"Where's your phone?" Zack asked me.

"In my pocket, why?"

"Can I call my mom, my phone just died."

"Sure," I said without hesitation.

I gave it to him and turned around, admiring the view. The water touching my feet. Then everything went black. Zack pushed me in!

"Zack!" I screamed. He was on the sand laughing like there was no tomorrow.

I marched towards him and I saw a glint of fear flash in his eyes. I was hoping he wouldn't run because my clothes are soaking wet so they'd be heavy, adding extra weight, therefore I wouldn't be able to run fast.

I poked him in the chest and said, "You are an idiot and I hope you know that!"

He just started laughing again! The audacity he has! That's it, I've had enough. I grabbed his arm, pulled him forward and pushed him in the water. Thankfully, he had thrown our phones on the sand before he pushed me in.

I wasn't on defense mode so he pulled me in again. I tried to dunk him, it worked once but then he's stronger so he kept winning. The funny thing about this whole scene was that we couldn't stop laughing. As I started walking back to shore, arms wrapped around my waist, drawing me back.

"Sunshine, you can't just leave me?" Zack whispered in my ear.

"Sunshine?" I chuckled, where in the world did that nickname come from?

"Cause you light up my world like nobody else!" Zack just belted out. I looked at him and then lost it. I took this as my moment, seeing that he was being crazy and totally not on guard, I dunked him.

He came up spluttering, while I was doubled over in laughter.

"What's wrong Zachy?" I asked, still chuckling.

"This isn't over Sunshine," he smirked as we exited the water.

"The war has just begun," I grinned. We both looked at each other and chuckled. Damn, we were a good duo. We laugh about everything and joke around most of the time.

Our phones were both flashing rapidly. I answered mine, "Hola."

"Where the hell are you!?" It was Ethan.

"In fair Verona with Zachy!" I replied, in a maiden voice.

Zack was trying to stifle his laughter but failed miserably.

"Are you high?"

"Yup, on happiness."

"Is that some new thing? Are you alright?"

"Yes Ethan, I'm perfectly fine. Zack just kidnapped me, no big deal," I stated as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

Zack then gasped, "I did no such thing!"

"I'm joking Eth, I'm not high. I'm just really happy. Wanna know where we are?"

"Yeah, we have to go, it's eight."

"Oh, Zack can just drop me off-" I looked at Zack and he nodded.

"You sure Kensi?"

"Yes Ethan Oliver Summerskill," I said, rolling my eyes, even though he couldn't see me.
