*edd's p.o.v*

  It was a nice day today, the rain coming and going, the breeze starting and then stopping, and then finally going somewhere with my two greatest friends, Tom and Matt. They were the most amazing friends anyone could ask for, although they had their ups and their downs, mainly when I'd have to pick up glass shards and broken bottles, then to ginger hair everywhere and the occasional hand-held pocket mirror.
  But everything was fine. Of course, I'm sure they had too much of a time picking up all of my Cola Cans and the pictures Ringo knocks over. So we were all pretty much even on the terms of items. I gripped the steering wheel as Tom sat besides me and Matt behind us, planning on going to a new amusement park.
  "Are you sure this is where we're supposed to go?" Tom asked, looking to his right to see me focused on the road, my tongue barely sticking out. "I'm positive, Tom, relax." He didn't protest, simply laying back in his seat while Matt was too focused on himself in his little mirror.
  I didn't bother speaking, but Tom just pulled out his phone and put in his earbuds. At least 1 minutes later we pulled in the parking lot, so it didn't do Tom any good. He mumbled to himself and shoved his phone back into his pocket.
  I looked up at the sign which read 'Jim's amazing newly-placed fantastic Amusement Park!'. I looked down at the paper in my hoodie pocket and it said just Jim's Amusement Park, must've added new words after advertising.. We all three walked through the front gates and met with a crowd of people, mostly 10-13 year olds, and then adults, sometimes younger kids about 6 years old.
  Tom went to take a sip from his Flask but then I snatched it from him, glaring at him. "There's children here," I almost snarled at him, shoving it in my back pocket. "Fine.." I then felt a tug on my hoodie, seeing a fellow Matt panicking and freaking out. I could tell his chest hurt.
  "Tom, you go on and do whatever, just meet up with us at the gate at 10:00, okay?" Tom nodded and walked off, heading towards the roller coasters. "Now, Matt, what's going on?" His eye twitched and held his head. "I-I-I..there t-to many p-p-people staring at m-me..." That's usually what he wanted, to be stared at and admired, but this was different. He had forgotten to take his medicine earlier this morning, I pulled him into a hug and held him.
  "It's alright, Matt, they're just staring because they think you look Beautiful." He hugged me back and let out a shaky breath. It took a while before he calmed down and broke the hug, "T-Thank you, Edd." I smiled at him, "You're welcome." He grabbed my arm and suddenly got his smile back.
  "L-Let's go to the games.." He drug me along with him, and it didn't seem to bother me. I payed for six balls at a booth, three for him, and three for me. He pointed out a stuffed turtle, and I let him go first.
He threw one ball.
Missed.
He threw the second ball.
Missed.
He threw the last ball.
Missed.
  He sighed and watched me go, and I only hit one can. It was the top one, but I got nothing. We went to the next one, and decided we should just go to the rides. There was this one where you get in these weird bird-things and you move the front part and can go in different directions, I chose the Cardinal one, and Matt took the one behind me. A few others got on with us, and I turned my head and waved at Matt, and he waved back at me. We both laughed but continued to get on rides, eventually going on a roller coaster as we spotted Tom, talking on his phone. He was laughing harder then usual, but then realized it wasn't someone on the phone, it was someone next to him. I decided not to interrupt.
  I climbed into the last seats along with Matt, us talking until the thing started to move. We stayed quiet until we went upwards slowly, stopping at the top and then rocketing down the large 'hill'. While I was yelling from fright and excitement, Matt was getting sick. Suddenly, he whipped his head around and vomited.
  I could tell he didn't enjoy the rest of the ride, but the carts came to a halt, making our way to the benches. He drank about half a bottle of water, using the rest as mouthwash, looking miserable. After about 20 minutes of us just sitting, he finally spoke. "Do you wanna get on the Ferris wheel?"
  I nodded and grabbed his hand, walking towards the Ferris Wheel, holding his hand so he wouldn't get sick again and be left behind. I seen Tom talking again, but with someone else this time. They both laughed. The Man he was talking to wore a Red Hoodie and his hair was brought into two 'horns'. He had a patch on the right side of his jaw, holding a lit cigar in his hand.
  They both laughed harder this time as the stranger made jokes, anyone could clearly hear him, especially his accent. It was thick, and I was pretty sure his language was Norwegian, but I couldn't tell. I used to hear about Norway from a old friend of ours, and then I recognized him. It was him, we haven't heard from him in so long.
  Matt and I climbed onto the Ferris Wheel as so did Tom and 'the stranger', them not stoping their conversation. "And here I was, shooting and blowing them up because they wouldn't stop stealing my god-damn sandwiches, and suddenly my Dad walks in. He's like, 'Sir, why are there so many people in here?' And I yelled while stabbing a few of them, 'THEY'RE STEALING MY FUCKIN' SANDWICHES, THATS WHY-' and then one hissed while clawing at me. I eventually killed them all thanks to my Dad, of course I was grounded because I brought food into my room, plus swearing, so that was nice." "Pfffft, Tord, you're stories are as good as they were back when you first moved in!" "Thank you, Thomas." Tord acted serious, and then they busted out laughing again. I leaned forward, my head dangling as I moved it under the bar, in the floor while holding onto the seat.
  "Yeah, well, good luck on seeing your sandwiches ever again, mR. TORD-O!" I yelled, as if I was a time traveler stealing his sandwiches. Tord gasped, but then waved while acting angry, yet it was faking. "Damn you, Edd! I oughta steal all of your Cola for a week!" "Nooo my precious Cola!-" all four of us was laughing now, "I'll see you guys when we get off of here, okay?" "Alright! See ya later!"
  I laid back in my seat, holding onto the bar as Matt watched over the whole area. It was lit up, the sun already set. We stayed here that long? It seemed only like 2 hours.. The stars were out, and it looked pretty nice. This reminded me of when I was younger, well, when we were all younger.

  Me and Matt were sitting with each other along with Tom and Tord, all in one seat on the Ferris Wheel. It stopped at the top so we could all see the moon perfectly, we were all teenagers. I was squished against Matt as Tom and Tord had most of the room. I was flustered, but Matt was just looking at himself in the mirror.
  He caught sight of me in it, and looked over at me, our faces only an inch away. I tried to back away, but Tom and Tord started to argue, shoving me forward and I accidentally kissed Matt. It lasted for at least 6 seconds and then I jerked away, panicking and freaking out. I was shaking, blushing madly. The tips of my ears were practically bathed in red, while my face looked like a legit tomato.
  I didn't say anything. Neither did Matt. We just stayed quiet the rest of the night until we all went to our homes, giving each other hugs and saying our goodbyes. I didn't sleep that night, and I could tell Matt didn't either.
-
  The ride soon ended and I met up with Tord, hugging him. "It's been over 8 years since we've seen you, Tord! Where've you been?" "I've been busy in Norway with my Dads, as usual. They wanted me to help with redecorating." "And it took 8 years to do so?" "Yeah, most of it was pretty huge and we had to..build it all." He rubbed the back of his neck and scratched it, chuckling nervously.
  "But I'm back, and that's all that matters, right?" "Yep! You got anywhere to stay, Tord?" "No," "Well you can stay with us for now, unless you want to move back in forever?" "I'd like to, Thank you."
