"So, it's our last day," Sirius said, eating a frozen Eggo waffle while lounging across the couch. "What're we doing, Moons?"

"We could be cliche, and go to Disney, or, we could go somewhere much less overrated," Remus stated.

"What's wrong with Disney?" Peter asked, looking up from his bowl of dry cereal. Remus' parents were visiting a friend a couple towns away, and Peter's the only one who can cook out of the five of them. However, he doesn't feel like doing so, so they were all stuck with broke college student-esque foods. "Disney's great."

"Not when you're waiting three hours for one ride in the ninety degree heat. Plus, too many tourists." Remus took a sip of his hot chocolate, and looked out the large window on the back wall of the living room. It overlooked a tiny backyard, one that his dad planted many flowers in. His mom used to tease him for it, but she loved it. The sun shone off of them, and he was reminded of Sunday mornings when he woke up early to watch the sunrise from the window.

"Where're we going, then?" Sirius asked.

"An amusement park, less overrated, called Knotts Berry Farms," Remus declared, waiting for the other's responses, likely something along the lines of "What's that?" or "Huh?"

He received the expected responses. "Never heard of it," James said, getting murmurs of agreement from the three others.

"Well, now you have. Get dressed, we're leaving in thirty minutes. Don't want to get stuck in lines." Remus said, and after setting down his hot chocolate, started tugging his shirt off before he even left the living room.

The four of them walked through the front gates of Knott's Berry Farms. "That rollercoaster looks fucking awesome." Sirius pointed out. Remus nodded. Sirius' statement was certainly true. The large red and yellow coaster was filled with loops and turns. Remus had only ever been here once, but that was hands down, the best coaster out of all of them at this amusement park.

"It's called The Silver Bullet." Remus said, as the four others stared at it in wonder. He hoped none of them were scared of rollercoasters, because the amusement park had some pretty good ones, with much less crowd than Disney.

"Let's go get that one first." Sirius said, and he and James already started finding the line for it. The others had no choice but to join the two of them as they waited in line.

Remus' legs dangled over the water as the rollercoaster started on a steady incline. He and Lily were sitting in the middle of the four seats in the front row of the roller coaster, with James and Sirius on the outside.

They approached the top of the hill, a pretty high up part, and shot downwards, turning almost instantly. Sirius laughed with joy and threw his hands up. Remus didn't, whenever he rode rollercoasters he liked to think he was flying. It was childish, but he did so anyway. They zoomed around the first loop in the coaster, one of five or six.

Remus laughed as they kept zooming around, coming so close to the water one time he could have sworn he felt the mist coming off of it.

The ride seemed to have ended much too soon, as they arrived back at the start. "That was awesome." Sirius and James said at the same time.
