"Did you two get caught last night?" Anthony asks from Ashton's desk. The four of us were lounging at his house in his room out of boredom. It's Saturday and we have absolutely nothing to do. Ashton and I share a look but shake our heads.

"Course not." I lie easily. Bianca just laughs at us and sits up. "Should we do something today?" She asks. "Thriller Park is open today. Until ten." Ashton says, looking up from his phone. I tilt my head. "Where's that?" I ask. "It's a thirty minute drive from here. It's the best amusement park ever." Bianca says excitedly.

Anthony nods his head in agreement with a giant smile. "I second that. You want to go?" He asks. I look to Ashton who shrugs and I nod. "Sure. Sounds good." I agree. The three of them fist pump the air, obviously happy with my answer. We grab our stuff and head out. Or try to. Ashton's mom stops us.

"You four heading out?" She asked, tying her hair into a pony tail and pulling an apron on over her head. We nod. "Yeah. We're heading to Thriller Park." Ash informs her. She smiles kindly at us. "Sounds thrilling. I'm making some cookies for a work party but I'll save some extra for you guys." She says with a wink.

We grin. Ashton kisses his mom's cheek and we all head outside. "Your mom is super nice." I tell Ash. He laughs and nods. "She is, isn't she?" Bianca sighs. "I wish we had the same mother as well. Mine is a bitch." She says. I keep my mouth shut instead of telling her we're completely aware.

The park is huge and awfully crowded when we arrive. Ashton takes my hand and pulls me along. I blush insanely red and hide my face behind my hair. Bianca snickers from my other side and leans over to whisper in my ear, "You're blushing Charlie."

"Shut up." I mutter. She laughs and hands the guy our tickets. We walk in and I pick my head up to look around. "Bi, look!" Tony exclaims excitedly. Bianca laughs and follows his gaze, her jaw dropping. "Oh no. Nope. I am not getting on that thing."

----------------------------------

"I hate you all." Bianca says from the cart. I laugh. Tony, Ash and I convinced her to ride the roller coaster with Tony. Ashton and I really didn't feel like going on it so we wave and walk away to the games.

"I want that!" I say, pointing to a giant white tiger stuffed animal. Ashton raises an eyebrow and hands the man five bucks. "Good luck." The man says, winking at me and setting up the game. I roll my eyes and watch Ashton shoot every target. I squeal when he hands me the giant stuffed animal.

"You're the best!" I exclaim, reaching up to kiss his cheek. He laughs and turns away from me. A faint red covers his face. I smirk. "That was terrible!" Bianca yells, appearing at my side with Anthony who's laughing his ass off. "You're still alive, aren't you?" Ashton says, chuckling. She flips him off and diverts her attention to my tiger.

"Where'd you get that?" Bi asks. I smile widely. "My partner in crime won it for me." I announce proudly. Ashton smirks. "Damn right I did." He says, placing an arm around my shoulder. I smile and play with the tiger's fur. "Let's go on the ferris wheel." I suggest.

Ashton steers us towards the giant ferris wheel and shows the lady our wristbands. She stops it and let's Ash and I get in. We sit side by side and I look out of the car. Tony and Bi get into the cart thing behind us and we lift into the air.

Ashton refuses to look out, staring at the floor of the cart. "Are you okay?" I ask him concerned. He looks at me and manages a smile, though his face is pale. "Peachy, Darling." He lies. I frown. "Ash...are you afraid of heights?" I ask him slowly. He gulps and looks away from me. "No..." He trails off.

I lean slightly closer to him, making his eyes widen and he carefully tilts his head away. I giggle. "Are you lying to me? Partners in crime shouldn't lie to each other Ashton." I say sweetly. He narrows his eyes slightly and suddenly inches his face closer. My eyes widen this time.

"Just kiss already!" A female voice exclaims, followed by loud laughter. I blush and flip off Bianca and Anthony. They just laugh more. "We could." Ash says with a smirk. I feel my blush deepen and hide my tomato face in my tiger. "Strictly professional, partner." I murmur.

He chuckles and pulls me into his side. Ash seems less nervous and more at ease about our height now.

--------------------------------------------

"I want ice cream." I whine childishly. Bianca grins. "Me too!" She agrees. We turn to the guys with puppy dog eyes and clasp our hands together pleadingly.  "Fine." Tony gives in. Ashton smirks at me. "Anything for you partner." He says, kissing me lightly on the cheek. I blush and look away.

We head to the ice cream booth and order. Ashton pays for both of ours, ignoring my protests. "Just eat." He says with a groan. I glare at him and lick my ice cream. He clears his throat and looks away. "Where should we sit?" Tony asks. Bianca points to a picnic table a few feet away and we walk over there.

"So Char, where you from?" Bi asks me, pushing away Tony who tries to take a bite of her ice cream. I laugh at them and shrug. "Few towns over." I say, kind of lying. That was our third house. "Are you close with your parents?" Anthony asks, still trying to steal Bianca's ice cream.

I shrug. "I'm close with my father, yeah." I answer. Bi is about to say something else when I suddenly feel something cold sliding down my nose. I gasp and turn to face the culprit. Ashton is doubled over in laughter. I grab my ice cream and tackle him to the ground.

"Bad idea, Jones." I scold, sliding my whole cone of ice cream down his face. His jaw drops and I jump to my feet. "You'll regret that Charlotte." He says coolly. I squeal and run away, hearing his feet thumping behind me.

I hear him gain up on me and before I know it, I'm on the ground and he's hovering over me. "Got ya." He says in triumph. I glare at him as he dumps his cup of chocolate moose ice cream on my head. "You ruined my hair you asshole!" I exclaim. He laughs and stands, helping me to my feet.

"We should probably get home. You two need a shower." Bianca states, clearly amused and trying not to laugh.

Today has been awesome!
