A day at King's Island

Part 34

Stevie yawned as she walked beside Lindsey.

"Sleepy, babe?" Lindsey asked, looking at her.

"Oh...a little. It's been a long, fun day and I'm about wore out." Stevie replied, smiling at him.

"Well, do we wanna pack it in then and get back?" Lindsey asked Mick and John.

"Let me see if there's anything else left that's worth riding." Mick replied.

He motioned everyone under a streetlamp and got the park map from Stevie's tote bag. He studied it as everyone stood around him.

Lindsey glanced over and saw that Stevie was looking around at the shrubberies with a wary look on her face.

"What?" he asked her.

"Just being aware of my surroundings, that's all..." Stevie said, looking at him.

Lindsey chuckled.

"Yeah, never know when those pesky ninjas will just pop out of the bushes and carry you away." He said, rubbing her arm.

"There is such a thing as a person who will lie in wait in the bushes and assault people, you know..." Stevie pointed out.

"Yes...but if there are people in the bushes, I doubt they'll try anything especially with Mick being as tall as he is." Lindsey said, as Mick looked over and nodded.

Stevie shrugged.

"Better safe than sorry..." she said.

"Well, if someone does pop up, I'll be sure to show them those key chain photos of mine. While they're rolling on the ground and pissing their pants with laughter, you can get away." Lindsey said as Stevie eyed him.

"Or better yet, I'll just find a boom box and play them your rap song." Stevie replied.

"Yeah, that would frighten the mugger off more than Stevie's photos ever would." Mick added.

He gave Lindsey an amused grin as he snorted.

"Well, according to this map, there are a few coasters left we could ride and there's a train ride, but I don't know how much we'd be able to see in the dark now. And...Oh! There's a fireworks show that they have every night just before the park closes."

"And what time is that?" Lindsey asked him.

"10...Do you guys wanna try to make it to that?" Mick asked.

"I don't mind staying, but I think it's up to Stevie. She's the sleepy one." Lindsey said, looking at her.

"How long is it till 10?" she asked, Lindsey.

"Um.... about 2 hours." Lindsey replied, checking his watch. "Think you'd last till then?"

Stevie thought for a moment and nodded.

"I'll try," she said. "But I'm not guaranteeing anything. I usually get to bed by nine now most nights, you know."

"And what nights are those since Lindsey is always in your room?" Mick asked, chuckling.

"Believe it or not, there are some nights when Lindsey and I choose to just fall asleep in each other's arms." Stevie said.

"Okay...Between believe it or not...I choose...not!" Mick said.

Everyone giggled as Stevie rolled her eyes.

"Anyway..." She said, changing the subject. "What is there besides the roller coasters?"

"You don't wanna go on the coasters now, Steves?" Lindsey asked.

"Not in the dark. I wanna see where it is the coaster is going." Stevie replied.
