Wow, someone's actually following this story. Did not expect that so soon. Thank you, Gabrielle!

Now here's a carnival AU with a twist. Enjoy!


Corinne watched with mild interest as the roller coaster zipped and zoomed across the darkening sky. Despite the large number of people on the ride, Kyle was the only one that stood out to her. With that big, goofy grin that was permanently glued to his face for the whole ride. He was certainly an odd one. Yet here she was actually enjoying her time with him.

"Did you see me?" Kyle beamed, exiting the ride.

Corrine laughed. "Yes, I did. I think you were the only one who wasn't crying."

"I know. Psh, what a bunch of amateurs." He wrapped his arm around her. "But, it would have been nice if you—"

"No thank you. I think I'll stick to the rides that stay on the ground."

"Suit yourself." Kyle shrugged. "What should we do now?"

"Hmm... Perhaps you should win me more prizes." Corrine gestured down at the giant blue unicorn in her arms.

Kyle scoffed. "Are you here because you like me or the fact that I buy you things?"

Corinne stopped walking for a moment "Well…"

"Oy, cut that out." He laughed, giving her a nudge.

"Or what?"

Instead of answering, Kyle leaned in for a kiss. Corinne hesitated at first but eventually returned the gesture. They had been making out for a few moments before they heard 2 familiar, youthful voices interrupt.

"Miss Reynaud!? Mr. White!?"

The couple quickly parted lips with an audible smack. They whipped their heads around only to see their own students gawking at them. Oh this couldn't be happening...

Corrine attempted to fluff out her hair and skirt, trying to retain at least some of her dignity. Although it was hard with the giant unicorn in her arms. She glanced at Kyle to see if he would save the situation but he was already glancing at her for guidance. Looks like she would have to speak up.

"Ah. Mei, Jia-long. What are you kids doing here?"

Kyle gave a half-hearted laugh at her response. "Coco, it's a carnival. They're kids. They came to have fun."

She gave him a sideways glare for using his nickname for her.

"It's also a totally great date spot." Jia-long spoke up, holding up his and Mei's interlocked hands. His face lit up with a mischievous smirk before he continued.

"But you guys already know that."

Corrine groaned, knowing that this conversation was beyond the point of saving.

"Look, I know this looks inappropriate—"

Mei held up her free hand.

"Don't worry, we won't rat you guys out. We just can't believe you guys are finally dating!"

"Finally?" the teachers asked in unison.

"Yep. Like everyone's been making bets on when the two of you would get together. I even think the staff has been in on it." Jia-long clarified.

Corinne and Kyle's faces were beginning to turn pink.

Mei gave Jia-long a nudge, signaling it was time to go.

"Anyways we'll let you guys get back to...what you were doing. We have a carnival to scope out." With that they began walking away.

There was an awkward pause between the couple before the two of them started laughing off their embarrassment. Eventually, they started walking again.

"Don't feel bad. Everyone would have found out eventually." Kyle stated, rubbing circles into arm.

Corrine sighed. "I know. But Kyle, they were making bets on us. Doesn't that concern you?"

"You're only upset because you weren't in on it."

She did her best to look stern but a smile still appeared on her lips.

"Come on, your unicorn looks lonely. Let's go find him a friend."

Corrine nodded, letting Kyle drag her in the direction of the closest game booth.


Eh, odd ending but oh well. Thanks for reading! Comments, concerns, or questions are always welcome.
