A day at King's Island

Part 4

"Ah, this is a pretty good spot!" Mick said, turning off the engine. "Not too far from the entrance."

"Good, cause I don't wanna walk a million miles to get there." Stevie said. "Especially if it gets hot today, which is probably a pretty good bet considering it was in the 90's yesterday."

"Well, hopefully, they'll have some nice cool indoor rides when that happens." Lindsey said, grabbing the bag at his feet.

"Okay, what we got. Our swim trunks, sunglasses, baseball caps, and cameras." Lindsey said, sorting through the bag.

He glanced over as Stevie put her tote on her lap.

"Hey, Steves, let us put our stuff in there too. That way we don't have to lug around this bag." Lindsey said.

"Oh, but it's perfectly fine to weigh me down with a heavy tote bag." Stevie said.

"No, we can take turns carrying it. But that thing has handles; this doesn't." Lindsey said.

Stevie looked from her tote to the bag and nodded.

"Thanks Steves." Lindsey said.

As she held the bag open, Lindsey put the swim trunks and the camera in it.

"And now that that's taken care of, it's time to go incognito." Lindsey said, as he began passing out the ball caps and sunglasses.

"I hate to tell you this, guys, but I think incognito is an impossibility for Mick." John said. "I think we'll about half to chop off his legs to get him to look inconspicuous."

"Well, hopefully, all the Mac fans are pooped after last night's concert and we won't get spotted." Lindsey said, shoving the ball cap down onto his head.

"Well, there is the fact that we're at this place too. I mean, most people if they spot a celebrity out like this most of the time tend to think it's a look-a-like rather than the real deal." Stevie said, putting her hair up in a bun. "I mean most people would probably think it strange that we're at a amusement park in the middle of the day."

Mick nodded.

"Stevie's right. If someone asks, we can always pretend we're someone else and we just resemble ourselves." He said, shoving his ponytail up under his ball cap.

He looked around at everyone.

"Ready?"

He smiled as everyone nodded.

"Let's go have some fun then!"

"So far, so good. That lady at the ticket counter didn't seem to know us." Lindsey said, sticking his wallet back into his pocket.

"Let's hope it stays that way." Stevie said.

"Well, what do we do first?" Mick said, slapping his hands together.

"ROLLER COASTERS!" Lindsey cried out.

"NO!" Stevie yelled, as Lindsey giggled.

"There's an information booth over there and it looks like they have some maps." John said. "Let's get a couple and sit over here by these fountains and plan what we're gonna do."

"Good idea!" Mick said.

They started to walk towards the booth when suddenly a man ran up to them. All of them jerked involuntarily as the man snapped their picture.

"It's five dollars if you want the photo." He said, pointing to a booth across the way. "It'll be done in about five minutes."

They watched him run over and snap another couple's picture that was just entering the park.

"Anything for a buck, I guess." Stevie said.

"Although, I'm kinda curious. I think I'll get the photo and see what it looks like." Lindsey said.

"That figures. That's why they make money off of stuff like this because of curious people like you." Stevie said.

"Oh, five dollars isn't gonna kill me and besides. I'd rather the picture was in our hands than in the person who develops the picture."

"You have a point." She said. "The way we got taken by surprise, I don't think I want the picture showing up on Ebay."

"You guys get a map and find some seats. I'll get it." Lindsey said, walking towards the photo booth.

Stevie, Mick and John walked over to the information booth and got a couple of maps and a park schedule. As they turned around, they walked over to an outdoor fountain. Around the fenced-in perimeter of the fountain where some metal tables and chairs arranged like an outdoor café. They found four seats, sat down, wiped some of the moisture off the table that had come from the fountain spray and spread the maps out.

As they discussed where to go. They suddenly heard a giggle. They looked up and noticed Lindsey was standing beside them looking into a small plastic object.

"Did you get the picture?" Mick asked.

"Yeah, they put it in this little keychain thing." Lindsey said, tapping the object.

He laughed again as he handed it to Mick.

"Hold it up towards the sunlight and check out Stevie. She looks like a deer caught in the headlights." He said.

Mick took the viewer and aimed it upwards. He paused for a moment and then he started to giggle.

"Heh, heh, heh, not your most flattering picture, Stevie." Mick said.

"Here John, get a load of this." He said, passing it to him.

John took the viewer and looked into it.

"HA HA HAAAAA!" he laughed as Stevie eyed them. "You really did get taken by surprise didn't you Stevie?"

"Well the guy practically jumped out in front of me." Stevie replied, indignant

"I guess so; you look like you're having a heart attack." John said, chuckling.

"Let me see..."

John passed the viewer to Stevie. Everyone watched expectantly as she held the viewer to her eye.

"Oh...Jesus....Christ..." Stevie said, as everyone laughed hysterically. "I take it back, Linds, I'm so glad you got this away from everyone."

"Well, actually, I have been thinking about selling it on Ebay. I bet I could make a fortune."

"Not if I burn it first..."

"Don't you dare burn it, Stevie Nicks, it was my five dollars! It's mine to do with as I please!"

"Oh yeah, well it's my image. So don't sell it or I'll sue you!"

"You wouldn't sue me, you love me."

"Yeah, well all's fair in love and war." Stevie said.

"You consider my selling this on Ebay an act of war?" Lindsey asked.

"Damn right, buster! Especially since I look like a moron. So, you take it and make sure you keep it hidden in a safety deposit box because if I see it floating around out on Ebay, your head will be the next thing auctioned off!"

"All right, all right." Lindsey said, taking the viewer as Mick and John put their heads down on the table and laughed. "It's hidden now."

He sat down next to Stevie and shook his head.

"Women."
