Time for the first 'Before-Noon Adventure'! Carnival Time!
Tony and Loki were staggering as the group made their way through the gates of the carnival. Everyone else seemed fine and Clint cheered up even more when his best friend (Tony would just say girlfriend) Natasha joined them. But until noon hit or soda was ingested, Tony and Loki were going to be miserable.
"Soda, Stark?"
"Yes. Just yes."
With that the two twenty-somethings started to a small snack stand nearby. The other five went on their way to the rides, all wanting to go on the two-stories high swing ride. It was kind of boring to them, but once Tony and Loki rejoined them, things got better, and in the case of Tony and Clint, more immature.
"The flying elephant ride, Tony?"
Tony looked down at Clint. "Yes."
The two ran off, acting like two little kids, even skipping on their way. Natasha did the most sighing because everyone else was busy laughing, even Loki. Boys. What set the boys off even more was the old man ride operator who just played along.
"Alright, young 'uns!" he said once Tony and Clint managed to fit themselves into an elephant made for kids at least two feet shorter than both of them. "Are ya ready to ride?"
"Heck yeah, mister!" said Tony in a little kid voice as Clint gave a double thumbs-up.
The old man laughed and went to his little operating booth. The other young adults watched, doubled in laughter as Tony and Clint started to cheer and yell in their best little kid voices and acted surprised when they went higher because Clint had pushed a button. When they got off, the guys were winded and even Natasha was giggling a bit.
"No regrets!" the two chanted, bowing to their friends.
Loki clapped slowly. "Alright, you idiots, let's go to the bumper cars. I need to get back at Thor for waking me up."
"Sure you will, Loki," said Thor, giving the raven-haired man a shove. "Sure you will."
Loki raised an eyebrow in this challenging sort of way. The others could now tell – Loki was serious. And when Loki was serious, one would have to watch out. The others made a mental note to avoid the thin man in the green skinnies while he was behind the wheel.
Once everyone was seating in their preferred cars, there was this overly long announcement. So Loki looked for the cars he'd be hitting the most. Ignore Steve in his American flag one, leave Clint and Natasha in their shared black car mostly alone, nudge Tony's bright red and yellow, bump into Bruce's green car some, but mostly aim for the thunder-bolt car. The others were trying to avoid the black car with the green mist and the ice-blue strands on it.
"And, start!"
As soon as they could, the group and everyone around them floored it, most people slamming into as many people as they could. Loki simply wove through everyone just to smack into Thor at top speeds. After a while, Thor caught on.
"Hey! You're only trying to hit me!" shouted Thor.
"No, I'm not!" Loki called back, slamming his car into a passing Tony. "See?"
"Hey!"
"Sorry, Tony!"
The whole elephant thing is something I've done before. True story.
Alrighty. Carnival will be in multiple parts as a warning. And guest appearances from people who aren't in the Avengers will happen.
