So. Many. Rides.

"Ferris wheel. Roller coasters!" I whisper excitedly to myself.

"There it is." Garroth says in wonder. "Starlight Adventure Park!"

"There it is! Starlight Adventure Park." Guy's voice says over the intercom. "I hope you ladies and gents are all excited because the park has a tooooonnnn of thrills! From the crazy twists and turns of the Shooting Star roller coaster, to the bumpity-bump rise of the bumper cars, you can bet this park has all your thrill-seeking needs in one!"

"It looks so cool!" Aphmau says.

"Yeah, but I bet the lines are long." Zane grumbles.

"Now, you must be thinking---"I bet the lines are long"---well, don't worry your weird little mask about that."

"Huh?" Zane demands, feeling his mask.

"At this time of year, most Starlight guests have already visited this island park and have moved on down the next parks down the island. So right now is the perfect time to visit, as lines tend to be five to ten minutes long at most!"

"Five to ten minutes?" I repeat squeakily. That's almost a dream!

"That's pretty much nothing!" Lucinda agrees. "That's awesome."

"Yeah, but---where do we go if we wanna relax or something?" Garroth asks.

"Need to relax? Well, you're all in luck! Nate and I are going to be your personal guides throughout Starlight!" I notice Garroth tapping the floor like he thinks Guy is under us. "So this boat will act as your home base. I'll talk to you more about that later once we confirm a few things with Mr. Wolfwere!"

"Wolfwere?" I mutter.

"That's the Lycan's cover last name." Lucinda reminds me.

"Ohhh, yeaaaaah."

"Dad?" Aaron asks, confused.

"Yep!" Melissa says. "Dad set this up. He pretty much hired personal guides for us. But since he's not here, I don't think he finalized plans."

"Good to know." Aaron replies. "For a second there, I was worried we wouldn't have a place to stay."

"Don't worry about that kind of stuff, Aaron." Melissa assures him. "Haha! We got it all figured out."

"Yeah, but---I don't think there are any pancakes on this boat." He says sadly. We all laugh.

"It's so beautiful..." Aphmau says dreamily, inching to the edge of the boat.

"Aph, be careful." I warn worriedly.

"You're getting too close to the edge there." Zane says.

"She'll be fine." Aaron says, completely calm. "She's not---"

Splash.

"AAH! HELP!"

"Aph!" Aaron jumps off the boat down into the water with her.

"Aaron! Aphmau!" I yelp, running for the edge, kind of losing my head until Zane and Garroth catch me and pull me back. "Oops. Right."

We watch as Aaron swims to her and holds her up, dealing with her splutters. "Hey hey hey, calm down!" He says. "You're all right."

"WE'RE GONNA GET CRUSHED UNDER THE BOAT!" She says.

"The boat isn't moving." Aaron points out. "So as long as you keep kicking your legs, we'll be fine."
