WARNINGS: Mention of food, brief emetophobia
"Let's go Imp!" Lonnie yelled up the stairs.
Entrapta and her boyfriend, Hordak, were visiting an amusement park today with her friends. They decided not to take Hordak's little brother (who was in their custody after his older brother, Prime, had been taken to prison) as he was autistic but, unlike Entrapta, wasn't able to cope yet with loud and chaotic areas such as the amusement park, so they left him with their normal babysitters, a polyamorous couple down the street by the names of Kyle, Lonnie, and Rogelio.
"Let's go Imp!" Repeated the toddler (who currently only spoke to repeat others words back) as he ran down the stairs, followed by his older brother carrying his bag. Imp came up to give Lonnie a squish (a sign of affection they had learned from Entrapta, where he took her hand and squished it between his, instead of giving hugs), jumping up and down and repeating his earlier words, clearly excited to go.
"Do I get a goodbye?" Entrapta teased, and he ran up to her and squished her (and his brother, though because Hordak had a hard time bending down sometimes he squished his lower thigh), repeating "get a goodbye" to both of them. The pair then rushed back to Lonnie's house as Entrapta got a text from Adora, asking if they were on their way. The couple locked the house up before getting into the car (which Entrapta packed while Hordak was readying Imp), buckling Entrapta's golden retriever service dog Emily into the back.
Despite the two having access to disability parking (while Hordak could walk, and relatively painlessly, with the braces Entrapta built him, it was still a strain to walk for awhile so they had brought his wheelchair) it was still hell to find a spot, and they circled the parking lot four times before they found one. When they pulled up, Entrapta jumped out of the passenger seat to put Emily into her vest (which they almost forgot, and would have if not for the fact that it was laid over Entrapta's "work" boots) (Hordak still didn't understand why she called them her work boots when they were just about the only shoes she owned, the only boots that fit to her liking under her normal coveralls), while Hordak got out carefully to not accidentally step on his long dress, before opening the trunk to get his chair. He wasn't having a very good arm day, his nerve damage getting the best of him since he woke up, so he needed Entrapta to help him unfold it.
It didn't take very long until they were in line for security. They had arrived at the same time as Scorpia, whose family had known Hordak for years, and her girlfriend Perfuma, with the rest of Entrapta's friends inside. Their line was considerably shorter, considering they had accessibility passes due to Emily, Hordak's wheelchair, and Scorpia's forearm crutches, but it still took a long while before they were through and able to meet with everybody else.
Once they had, it didn't take long for them to find the others, especially with Seahawk singing loudly, much to his girlfriend, Mermista's, mortification.
"First order of business, lunch!" Said Bow, who then lead everyone else to the nearest food booth with his girlfriend, Glimmer, at his shoulder. Glimmer's best friend, Adora, and her girlfriend, Catra, followed next. They and Hordak had an... interesting history, him having known the two girls since they were infants, but not in the best circumstances. Following those two were Seahawk (who was still singing) and Mermista (who was desperately trying to get him to stop singing). At the back were Scorpia, Perfuma, Frosta (Glimmer's little cousin, who had taken a quick liking to Scorpia and followed her like a shadow) and Hordak, who was being pushed along by Entrapta (partially because it was a bad arm day, mostly so she didn't get distracted and wander off without anyone noticing), Emily in a heel at her side.
Lunch was a quick affair, and once it was over everyone split into two main groups, those who liked going on the rides (Glimmer, Bow, Adora, Seahawk, Entrapta, and Frosta), and those who didn't, or could only go on a few (Hordak, Catra, Perfuma, Scorpia, and Mermista). The first group immediately headed for the biggest roller coaster, which the park was known for, while the second went toward some of the smaller rides that were easier for them to go on (Entrapta and Adora quickly and silently questioning their partners before they went, as Hordak and Catra had some separation anxiety, being away from the women who really showed them what it was like to be safe).
They met back up in 2 hours, when Scorpia and Hordak were creeping closer to their constant-walking-sitting-standing limit for the day, and Entrapta had needed to put her ear defenders on, and every one of them were a bit tired from the exciting day. They ended their day by riding a train found at the park (they were even allowed to take Emily on it). They somehow squeezed into one car (a lot of people sitting in laps), and Bow didn't let it go by without taking plenty of pictures. They told stories of their day (especially when a kid had bumped into Mermista and spilled their ice cream on her, to which she just groaned for 2 straight minutes before changing into one of Sea Hawk's shirts that she "conveniently had in her bag," or when another kid had been scared on a rollercoaster so Entrapta explained how the cars worked, to which the kid was so confused he forgot to be scared) and rode the track 2 full times, before the group had to leave (but not before Frosta had thrown up. Yes, she threw up on--technically right after--the train, the slowest ride they had ridden all day. They were pretty sure it wasn't heat stroke, but Bow and Scorpia practically poured water down her throat anyways). After tearful and over dramatic goodbyes (specifically from Bow and Seahawk) they all parted ways, Emily happily greeting the air conditioning, Entrapta enjoying the lesser sensory input, and Hordak lovingly watching his girlfriend calm after a (for her) rather hard situation, heading home to have the dinner Rogelio insisted he make for them.
Not the most relaxing, nor calming, day, but enjoyable nonetheless.
[A/N: I'll eventually (hopefully soon) be writing a full story in this universe, where you can learn how Hordak and Entrapta met, how Catra and Adora knew him, and the general domesticity of the Entrapdak family]
