Blaze's Summer Part 2 Help:
The group arrived at the theme park moments after they had decided where they were going thanks to Shadow's use of Chaos control. Sonic decided to pay for the group. Shadow said that he could just Chaos control them inside the park, but Tails said that that would be wrong and that they could end up in jail.
"This line is ridiculous," the midnight hedgehog huffed. He knew that bad things happened when Fleetway got bored. Speaking of whom, where was he anyways? Shadow glanced around for the trouble maker and saw nothing of him.
The line moved slowly, but thankfully, Rouge had managed to keep the impatient dark hedgehog entertained by letting him play with her phone. Cream ran over to where some trees were to relax in the shade while the rest of the group held their places in line. Sonic tapped his foot impatiently and looked over at Shadow who was immersed in a game on Rouge's phone.
"Hey,Tails, do you have any games on your handheld," the blue speedster asked as he continued to stare at Rouge's phone.
"Hmm… I think I have a few puzzle games," the young two-tail responded while he fished around in his bag for the machine. Sonic groaned.
"Wow… this place is really popular," Silver said.
"Agreed… though I haven't a clue as to why that is…," Blaze said and muttered the last bit so that the telekinetic could not hear.
About a Half an Hour Later:
"Whew… finally got through that line," Sonic said as he rushed through the gates with the others not far behind.
"That was a ridiculously long line," Shadow muttered. He gave Rouge her phone back. She checked the charge on it and saw that the phone was almost dead.
"Let's go to the kids zone," Cream suggested sweetly. Cheese sat on the young rabbits' head and nodded fervently at this idea. The others glanced at her with smiles on their faces.
"How 'bout you take her, Silver," Shadow said. Silver sent a fiery glare at the midnight hedgehog that was smirking at him.
"I will go with her," Blaze said before a fight could break out. Cream smiled and started to tug on the princess' hand. The lavender cat followed the child as she ran towards the kids area. The rest of the group watched the two girls run off and shrugged their shoulders and walked in the opposite direction.
Kids Area:
Blaze watched as the young rabbit ran to the ride closest to the entrance. There weren't many kids in line for the ride. Blaze looked up and observed that it was shaped like a tower and that it wasn't really tall. Cream beckoned for the cat to follow. Blaze nodded calmly and got in line with her. It didn't look like it was really tall. The ride was one of those kinds that went up slowly, then dropped a bit, and went back up and repeated the motion several more times. Blaze helped Cream into the seat and fastened the harness as well. She did the same for herself took a few deep cleansing breaths. The ride started it's climb up then dropped about five feet.
"Ahh," Cream and Blaze screamed in unison. The only difference was that Cream was screaming in laughter and Blaze in fright. She felt an odd tingling sensation in her gut that she did not like. She made the mistake of looking down as the ride dropped again. A very undignified screech escaped her lips. She did not like this at all.
"Is something the matter, Miss Blaze," Cream asked her politely once they had gotten off the ride. Blaze didn't respond as she sat down on a bench and took some more deep breaths.
"I am fine…," Blaze said after a moment. The young rabbit had a concerned look on her face and asked if the lavender cat needed anything to which she shook her head 'no'.
"Are you afraid of heights," Cream asked with an innoccent look on her face. Blaze's honey gold eyes widened as she snapped her head towards the child.
"It's okay… everybody is scared of something," Cream said sounding surprisingly wise for a child her age. Blaze continued to stare at the rabbit before shifting her gaze as she remembered that staring was not polite.
"My momma always says that it's okay to be afraid of something and that it's facing them is what makes us brave," Cream said with a smile. She realized that she may have been prying to much.
"Oh, I'm sorry… was I being rude," the child asked timidly and looked down at the ground. Blaze shook her head and smiled slightly.
"She's so adorable and innocent," Blaze thought to herself with a small chuckle. Cream's smile widened.
"You laughed," the rabbit said happily. The lavender cat blinked and blushed embarassed. The young rabbit laughed again.
"Where shall we go next," Blaze asked the younger one kindly.
"How about the Tea Cups," Cream replied. Blaze nodded and followed the girl to the ride.
"Perhaps this place isn't such a bad idea after all," Blaze thought to herself.
