A day at King's Island

Part 31

Mick and John walked behind Stevie, giggling as Stevie skipped in front of them. They looked back behind them and giggled even more as they saw Lindsey was trying to keep his distance.

"What's wrong, Lindsey? Aren't you gonna walk beside Stevie now?" Mick asked.

"No! I'd rather not." Lindsey replied.

"Aw, poor Lindsey is humiliated." Stevie said, looking back at him and putting on a pouty expression.

She giggled as Lindsey rolled his eyes and began to skip again.

"I embarrassed Lindsey!" She chanted as she skipped. "I embarrassed Lindsey...tee hee hee hee HEE HEE!"

Mick and John bent over laughing as Stevie stopped for a moment and began to shake her butt.

"I got back at Lind-SEY! I got back at Lind-SEY!" she chanted, shaking her butt back and forth.

Lindsey stood for a moment and then a grin spread over his face.

"PAYBACK TIME!" he yelled as he ran past Mick and John.

Mick and John looked at each other as Lindsey chased Stevie down the path.

"You wanna know something..." Mick said, staring after them.

"Sure..." John said.

"Every time they start chasing one another; I always get the Benny Hill theme song going in my head." Mick said.

"Wow! You too?" John replied.

They looked at each other and burst out laughing as they went after Lindsey and Stevie.

They caught up with them sitting together on a bench near the end of the path.

"Tired again? I have no idea where you get all the energy to chase each other around. Especially since it's been hotter n' Hell today." Mick said, as they stood in front of them.

"Well, we move around a lot more than you guys. John basically stands there with his bass and you sit behind the drums most of the time unlike the two of us who are running and jumping and twirling so we've built up more stamina than you two."

"Yeah, well it's a good thing because if I were you, I would have collapsed long ago from the heat." Mick replied, as John nodded.

"Guess it pays not to be old and worn down." Lindsey replied.

"Excuse me? Mister two years younger than I am?" Mick said, putting his hands on his hips as everyone giggled. "What was that you were saying about OLD and WORN DOWN?"

"Who has the grey hair?"

"Who has a bald spot?" Mick countered.

Lindsey stood and tapped the top of his head and sat back down. Mick leaned over and tapped the back of Lindsey's head and leaned back up.

"Is there a point to all of this?" Stevie asked.

"Yes, the point is Mick is an old fogey while I'm young and vital." Lindsey replied, grinning.

"P'eh, I think you need to get checked for Alzheimer's, Mate. You seem to be confused about how old you are." Mick said.

He thought a minute.

"Wait a moment, if I'm only two years older than you and I'm old. Then, what does that make Stevie?"

"Middle-aged..."

Lindsey snickered as Mick looked at John.

"All that running and being out of breath cut off the oxygen supply to his ruddy brain." He said, nodding at him.
