Chapter Seven

The Amusement Park

The group of people walked into the amusement park and gawked at sight of it.

"Wow! This place is awesome!" Victoria shouted.

"It's not Disneyland, but it'll do." Amber said giggling a bit.

"Which ride should we go on first!?" Victoria asked.

"Wait, we have to know who runs this place first, interact with them, and then we might have time for one ride." Alyssa said.

"Lame." Melissa stated.

Alyssa ignored her and looked at Boris, "Who's in charge here?"

"Well the old man and I are the only ones who live here." Boris answered.

"Wait-You love here?" Mai asked.

Boris nodded in response.

"That is the most awesome thing ever!" Melissa shouted.

"Hey, Miss. Pineapples!" Dum shouted.

"I thought you liked our place!?" Dee shouted also.

"I do, but this is an amusement park!" Melissa answered.

"So what's the other guy's name, the one that you called old man?" Mai asked.

Boris smirked deviously, "Gather around me girls, it's a secret."

The girls surrounded him.

"Okay." Boris whispered, "The old man's name is Mary Gowland, but that's a secret."

"Huh? Why?" Amber asked.

"He doesn't like to be called by Mary." Boris said with a chuckle.

"Oh okay, I can understand that." Victoria said.

Alyssa glared at Melissa.

"What?" Melissa asked.

"You know." Alyssa answered.

"Know what?" Melissa asked innocently.

"You know." Alyssa answered.

Melissa sighed and crossed her arms, "Fine! You're no fun."

Boris blinked in confusion.

"Long story dude, don't worry about it." Victoria said to Boris.

"Yeah, lets go find Mary-I mean Gowland." Mai said.

"Oh boy…" Alyssa thought, "I hope Mai isn't the one to make that guy angry."

(0.0) (0.0)

The five girls and their friends walked through the amusement park looking for Mr. Gowland, but they couldn't find him.

"I wonder where the old man went to?" Boris said puzzled.

"Maybe he died?" The twins suggested happily.

"I doubt that." Boris said and closed his eyes to think, "Hmm…"

His eyes snapped open and his tail fluffed up as everyone heard a horrible sound. Everyone covered their ears.

"Oh my Jashin, what is that noise!?" Victoria shouted.

"That's Gowland!" Boris answered and started to walk off, "Follow me!"

The group of friends followed him till they saw a tall older man with red hair and glasses playing a violin.

"That's him, the guy playing the horrible music." Boris stated.

"Is he tone deaf or something!?" Alyssa asked.

"Yeah!" Boris answered.

Mai quickly started to walk to the man.

"Where is she going!?" Amber asked.

"What!?" Melissa shouted.

"I can't hear you dude!" Victoria shouted.

They watched Mai go up to the man and tapped on his shoulder.

Gowland stopped playing and stared at her, "Ah, are you new here?"

"Yes I am sure, I came up to you to comment on your playing skills." Mai answered.

"You loved it?" He asked happily.

"Well… your skills are… okay, but if you strum your strings with your bow more gently it will come out more nicely." Mai said and touched his fingers, "And your fingers need to press the strings gently."

"What on earth is she doing?" Alyssa asked confused.

"I'm just hoping the old man doesn't kill her for trying to tell him how to play violin." Boris said simply.

"What!?" Alyssa asked.

"Gently huh?" Gowland said and strummed the strings gently actually making a nice sound.

"Holy crap, that was actually pretty decent." Boris stated amazed.

Then the older man started to strum the strings loud and fast making a horrible noise, "That was nice, but this is more fun!"

Mai flinched at the horrible sounds.

The man laughed and stopped playing, "I like you, what's your name?"

"My name is Mai Ellens." Mai answered and pointed at her friends, "And those are my friends Alyssa Foxfire."

Alyssa waved.

"Amber lily."

Amber raised her hand.

"Victoria Starling."

Victoria waved.

"And Melissa Pineapples."

"HI MARY!" Melissa shouted.

Mary Gowland's face turned grim with anger.

"Melissa!" The four girls shouted.

"What?" Melissa asked innocently.

Boris and the Tweedle twins just started laughing.

"Boris… you little rat! Did you tell them my name!?" Gowland shouted.

The cat rubbed the back of his head, "Well you see, it kind of slipped out."

"You stupid cat, I should kick you out of my amusement park!" Gowland shouted.

Mai tugged on Gowland's sleeve getting his attention.

"It's my fault Mr. Gowland, I kept insisting to know your full name." Mai said.

Gowland blushed, "Well my dear, since you put it that way I shall forgive him."

"… Is Mai like… flirting?" Amber whispered.

"I don't know what she did, but it saved my butt." Boris stated.

Gowland looked at the girls, "Hmm, you all are outsiders. We have five this time, eh?"

"There were people before us?" Amber asked.

"Yeah, but nevermind that. Since you all are outsiders, you are welcomed to my park." The man with glasses said smiling.

"That's nice, but we really need to get going." Alyssa said.

"Aw, why!?" Melissa and Victoria asked at the same time.

"Because we have to go home, and the only way to do that is to finish the game." Amber stated.

"Aw, I was hoping to spend more time with you Catnip." Boris said looking sadly into Alyssa's eyes.

Alyssa blushed and smiled, "Well… I guess we could go on a few rides."

Boris smiled brightly as his tail wagged slowly back and forth.

"Alyssa!" Amber said.

"Come on Amber, lets just have fun while we're here." Melissa said nudging her, "Yolo."

Amber sighed, "Fine."

Melissa, Boris, and Victoria cheered.

"Come on Miss. Pineapples! Lets go on the rollercoaster!" Dee said as he and his brother led her away.

"Wait, don't leave without me!" Amber said and walked after them.

"Us too!" Victoria stated.

Boris grabbed Alyssa's and Victoria's hands, "Lets go." And they walked off.

"I can't believe I'm left behind again…" Mai thought sadly before she felt Gowland grab her hand. She blushed.

"Lets go, I'm the owner so we can cut the line." Gowland said as they walked, "Let us talk about music and other things."

The group of friends went on two roller coasters and the bumper cars, and now Mary Gowland suggests that we go on his new ride that he installed a week ago.

"You're going to love it Mai, the music is just wonderful." Gowland said.

"Hey old man, are you trying to flirt with the young girls or something?" Boris asked annoyed.

Gowland glared at the cat, "No! I just think that a music lover like Mai would enjoy it!"

"What about us? We like music too." Victoria said.

Gowland ignored her, "You should talk Boris, you haven't let go of Alyssa's hand since the bumper cars! It's obvious you like her!"

Boris and Alyssa blushed.

"That is true." Amber said a little annoyed.

"What's wrong with you lady?" Dee asked.

"Well everyone has someone flirting with them but me." Amber said crossing her arms.

"Weren't you the one who called dibs on Peter?" Victoria asked annoyed.

"Yeah, but he's not here." Amber complained.

"Your fault." Alyssa said simply.

Amber pouted in response.

"Nevermind all of that, I really think you all would like the ride I suggested." Gowland said happily.

"I don't know old man…" Boris said simply.

"You can share a seat with Alyssa, just the two of you." Gowland persuaded.

The cat's ears twitched, the ride would be perfect for more bonding with Alyssa.

"Okay, we'll go." Boris said smiling deviously.

Alyssa blinked in confusion, "O-Okay."

"Mai and I can sit together, Boris and Alyssa can sit together, the bloody twins and Melissa can sit together, and Victoria and Amber can do whatever they want." The older man said.

"What?" Amber said confused.

"How come you chose the seatings for everyone!?" Victoria asked.

"Because I'm in charge here." Gowland said simply.

Victoria pouted, "Mean old man."

When the the group of friends was finally at the ride, it turned out to be a tiny boat ride. Mai and Gowland was seated on the first boat, Boris and Alyssa sat in the second boat, Victoria and Amber sat on the third boat, and the twins and Melissa sat on the last boat.

"Geez, what's so great about this ride?" Victoria said as they went through a tunnel.

When they went through the tunnel they were in a room full of hearts and cheesy romantic things. Her eyes widened as soft music began to play.

"Oh Hell no!" She shouted, "YOU PERVERTED OLD MAN, THIS IS A LOVE TUNNEL!"

Alyssa blushed brightly, "A love tunnel?"

"Yeah, it's a ride for couples." Boris said deviously.

"This ride is boring!" Melissa stated.

"Yeah, we want to go on better rides!" The twins stated annoyed.

"Is this… the tunnel of love?" Mai asked nervously.

"Yes." Gowland said with a nod, "Listen to the music, isn't it wonderful?"

"Well… it is nice." Mai answered truthfully and stuck her hand in the water.

When they went further in their were pictures of couples kissing on the walls.

"I SWEAR OLD MAN IMMA KICK YOUR ASS WHEN WE GET OFF OF THIS RIDE!" Victoria shouted.

"YEAH, YOU PEDOPHILE!" Amber shouted also.

The twins laughed.

"Man, your friends are pretty pissed off." Dee said.

"Yeah, they've been yelling ever since we got here." Dum added.

"They probably think that Mary is going to kiss Mai or something." Melissa said simply.

The twins blinked, "Why?"

"Rides like these are for couples who want to makeout." Melissa answered simply.

"This is for couples?" Dum asked.

"That want to make out?" Dee asked.

"Yeah." Melissa said.

The brothers looked at each other deviously as they scooted closer to Melissa.

"Hey guys, you're squishing me." Melissa said before Dee grabbed her chin making her blush.

"What are you guys doing?" She asked confused.

"Couples go on this ride to makeout." Dee answered.

"And we're a couple." Dum added.

"I never confirmed any of that!" Melissa stated before feeling Dum kissing her neck, "This is rape! This is what rape is!"

Dee kissed her deeply.

The twins started taking turns kissing their girlfriend.

Meanwhile Boris and Alyssa were talking to each other.

"I live alone, my cat died recently so I get lonely sometimes, even if my friends are around… does that make me a bad person?" Alyssa asked.

"Of course not, everyone gets lonely time to time." Boris said slowly wrapping his arms around Alyssa's shoulders.

The girl blushed and snuggled up to the cat man more.

"It's nice to have someone who understands." Alyssa said happily.

Boris smiled and cuddled up more with Alyssa.

Meanwhile Gowland was telling Mai about a performance he was doing to promote the amusement park.

"There'll be music and I was hoping you could participate in it?" Gowland asked.

Mai looked at the man, "I would, if I'm still here, we still need to go home."

"Aw, well it's next week, if you girls are still here make sure to let me know." He said.

Mai smiled, "I will."

The girl slipped her hand in the water and caught something with her fingers. She pulled the object out and it turned out to be a lavender bra.

Mai blushed as Gowland laughed, "I guess some of my park goers enjoyed this ride."

He then grabbed the bra, "I'll dispose of this." He then threw it over his head.

The bra flew and hit Boris in the face.

Alyssa gasped as she grabbed the bra.

The cat blushed brightly, "No way, that old man couldn't have done that!"

"MAI! I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" Alyssa shouted.

"YOU PERVERTED OLD MAN, I LOST ALL RESPECT FOR YOU!" Boris shouted.

Mai blinked, "What are they yelling about?"

(0.0) (0.0)

When the ride was over and everyone got out of the little boats, Alyssa kicked Gowland. The older man fell down because of the kick.

"That's what you get pervert!" Alyssa stated and looked at Mai, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah… why did you just kick Gowland?" Mai asked.

"Because he took advantage of you!" Alyssa shouted.

Gowland got up, "What are you talking about!?"

"You didn't take advantage of the girl?" Boris asked.

"Of course not, he was telling me about a performance he was organizing for the park next week." Mai answered.

"Oh… Well I better run away when I can." Boris gave a peck on Alyssa's cheek, "Bye Catnip."

The cat then ran off with the amusement park owner chasing after him.

"Poor Boris." Amber said before noticing Melissa, "Are you okay?"

Melissa was silent while Dee and Dum hugged her.

"Yeah, she is." Dum said.

"She's just tired." Dee added.

"Dude, I'm tired too, lets go back to Blood's place." Victoria said, "Today was crazy."

"Yeah, lets go." Alyssa said before they headed back to the Hatter Mansion.
