This is actually just plain silly, but it's also fun for me. Enjoy. Oh, and it's not a oneshot! *gasp*
Rollercoaster
Klavier Gavin, aged twenty five, was well experienced in the ways of the world. He'd only recently quit as the lead singer of one of the world's most famous rock bands, he had been a prosecutor from the age of seventeen and - for both reasons – he had people falling over him wherever he went.
One thing Klavier was not used to, however, was amusement parks. The fact of the matter was that he had only been to an amusement park once in his life – taken by his reluctant brother after their parents had threatened an allowance cut – and at that point he'd been too small to get on anything.
So when Trucy suggested that the three of them – Klavier, herself and her brother – go to a theme park for the day, Klavier agreed only because of the glare she was giving him. She might be a cute girl of just sixteen, but from experience Klavier knew it wasn't ever a good idea to get on her bad side.
And so, today would be interesting in that Klavier would decide once and for all exactly how he felt about amusement parks, a monumental achievement by any means. Of course, he could be working on a case, but that was what the Fraulein Detective was there for.
"Why so grumpy, Herr Forehead?" Klavier asked lightly as the small group got off the train – Trucy had insisted they go to a certain park, more than two hours away by rail, and neither of the other two could find any grounds to disagree. She'd also insisted on the train rather than Klavier's car. Klavier, who didn't particularly like driving anything but his motorbike, had agreed to that one too.
"I'm not grumpy." Apollo replied grumpily, walking a few steps ahead of them.
"Polly hasn't slept in three days." Trucy informed him brightly. "So I thought a trip to a theme park would cheer him up!"
"Wouldn't sleep be better for him, fraulein?" Klavier asked, trying not to laugh.
"Well, yeah, probably." Trucy admitted. "But I wanted to come here."
Klavier didn't reply. It made perfect sense, after all.
"No." Apollo said firmly.
"Oh, Polly, come on." Trucy pleaded.
"No way."
"Come on, Herr Forehead, let your little sister have her fun."
"You go on with her, if it bothers you so much." Apollo replied stubbornly.
"I intend to. Rollercoasters are on my list for today." Klavier answered happily. "But Fraulein doesn't want me sitting beside her. She wants her big brother. Surely you won't disagree to that, Herr Forehead?"
"Actually, I…" Trucy began, frowning, only to find her mouth being covered.
"I think she'll be fine." Apollo said firmly, and that was the end of that.
Or so he thought. The next thing Apollo knew he was being dragged into a rollercoaster car and strapped in beside a grinning Klavier while Trucy jumped into the seat behind them, beaming.
"We did give you a chance to come willingly." Klavier replied to his glare.
And so the rollercoaster spluttered to life, climbing higher and higher and higher…
"Oh, hey, Klavier?" he heard a voice shout as if from very far away, almost completely silenced by the wind.
"Hm?" Klavier replied, turning his head ever so slightly in a failed attempt to see behind him.
"Did I tell you that Apollo is absolutely terrified of heights?" Trucy asked brightly.
Klavier turned to see the man beside him looking absolutely petrified. Oops. "It must've slipped your mind, fraul-" he started, but was cut off by the sudden tilt of the coaster as it began to plummet downwards.
Behind him, he could hear people screaming and Trucy – was she cackling? What a strange girl. Suddenly, he felt someone grab at him as the coaster shot back up into the air, and looked to see Apollo clutching his arm and hiding his face in his shoulder.
As the coaster went in for the first loop, Klavier grinned to himself.
He could definitely check rollercoasters on his list.
Ah, I'm so ridiculous when I'm bored. Still, whatever. Reviews are loved :3
