*Michael narrating*

As I pulled into my driveway I softly smiled "I know people think my home is weird but I can't help myself, I love elementary things" I spoke in my mind. Lots of people don't like the way I live, but whatever happened to the quote 'Let me be me and you be you?' funny it seems like the media won't let me be me without a lie attached to it.  

    When I parked the car and stepped out I noticed bright golden lights coming from behind my house, *smiles* looks like the theme parks on!
As I opened the entrance door I called out for Amy for her know I'm here "Hey Amy I'm back!!" I called while setting my stuff down, no answer came, "Lee?" I called out again, still nothing. Huh strange, man I hope she didn't bail already. I know this sounds crazy but to me she seems like the type where she'll run once your back is turned. *Searches around the house* "Amy? Come out already" I called curious as to where she would have gone. But it is a big house, plus it's big outside and-
Outside?

*Moments later*

"Amy!" I called walking down the trail that led to the theme park. My heart tells me that she's in the theme park but I mean it's Amy, why would she go there? (However there is a likely chance that I don't know her like I think I do). *Approaches Dane* "Hey Dane have you seen Amy?" I asked watching him sweep the asphalt trail.
He looked up at me and pushed his broom to the side "Amy? Yeah she's been here since you left" he answered. Suddenly I heard a squeal come from inside the theme park a ways. *Looks down the trail then back at Dane waiting for an answer*
"She's been squealing and running around for hours now, funny how this place has that affect on people but I mean why wouldn't it?" He pointed out continuing his sweeping. Neverland isn't an ordinary place, anybody should know that this is my place and whatever is mine isn't going to be considered 'Ordinary'.

     I thanked him and walked the rest of the way down the trail, staring into each ride looking for a black haired girl. Finally I spotted her on the carousel smiling and laughing like crazy. I smiled at her, her laughter filling my mind with joy and her smiles feeling my heart with shyness.

*Amy narrating*

I've never laughed this hard before and what's so strange about it is I've been on a carousel a bunch of times before, like what's so fun about this one? I glanced and saw a tall slender figure standing close by staring at me. *Waves at him* "Hi MJ!" I called while the ride started to slow down.
All he did was smile and give me a small soft wave. *Gets off ride and approaches him* "Man that was fun *then slightly freezes* oh... But I hope it didn't upset you" I mumbled nervously as I tugged my hair.
When I get nervous I tug my hair at times, that or bite my nails.

    He giggled and touched my shoulder "It's not a bother at all Amy, I don't care what you do or what ride you go on... As long as you're having fun that's all that matters to me" he spoke sweetly touching his heart with his other hand. *Freezes again* Oh no he's making me blush!!!
*Quickly looks down at the ground* "Thanks Michael" I whispered.
He smiled, patted my shoulder and walked a ways ahead of me.
"Hey did you go on the ferris wheel yet?" He asked pointing behind him at this majestic white and gold ferris wheel. I shook my head
"No, I pretty much only went on the carousel" I replied when I was by his side.

     His eyes filled with an exciting look *grabs my hand softly* "Great! Let's go then!" He exclaimed running while pulling me along.
I giggled in my head "he's so child-like, I like that kinda, *realizes something* but let's be honest here, a guy with his soft heart wouldn't survive in the real world... He'd be a sitting duck" I said in my mind.
(I know that it wasn't the best time to bring that up but that's just me... Amy Lynn Hartzler always knows how to spoil a moment).
After we had approached the ferris wheel, he motioned me to sit first, something he probably got from the gentleman's handbook 😂. Once he was seated the ride started up and away we went.
