Once again the girls needed to be up early if they were to make it to the water park in time. They had gotten up an hour before and where now suitably dressed in a bikini with dress on top. They hadn't emptied there bags from last night so they had everything they needed. Lauren made sure she had 2 towels just in case while Emily finished cleaning her teeth. Lauren reached for her blackberry when she heard a faint knock on the door. Sighing she walked over to the door and opened the door allowing Damon and Razor in.
"We didn't knock loud since it's early and we didn't want to wake anyone else up." Razor said and he slumped down on the sofa.
"We've bought you girls a breakfast burrito." Damon said indicating towards the brown paper bag in his hand; and Lauren flashed him a smile as Emily walked out of the bathroom minty fresh.
"Hey guys." She said with a smile as she walked over towards her bag and placed her mobile in it.
"Shall we go then?" Damon said, he didn't have much patience.
"Off we go." Lauren said with a smile and the four made there way down to the hotel lobby and out the front doors. The bus was picking them up from the hotel down the street in 15 minutes so they casually headed that way as they ate the breakfast burritos. The air was already warm and the four could tell it was set to be a hot day. At least they had the water to cool off in.
The bus ride was longer than yesterdays and for the majority of it Razor, Lauren and Emily slept while Damon wrote a new song. They reached the water park as it opened at 9 and where told they had to be on this bus at 5:30 if they wanted to return to the hotel. Razor lead the other 3 through a smaller queue were they got bright green wrist bands. They quickly found 4 sun loungers beside the calm and relaxing pool used for swimming only; and laid there towels down on them. The water slides were open straight away and since the boys didn't have much patience the girls followed as they headed towards the racing water slides; Damon and Razor popping to the loo before they entered the entrance. When the boys returned they diverted the girls towards a lifeguard sat on his deck chair, probably not even watching the free spirits that entered the water. Razor went up and talked to him while the other 3 stayed back. Both girls were confused; the lifeguard sat up and talked to Razor before calling over one of his fellow staff. The girl in her mid twenties with bleached blonde hair came over and directed them towards a gate at the rear end of the slide. Razor nodded at her then indicated towards his friends to follow him. Damon followed immediately, the girls slightly behind.
"Okay I'm confused." Lauren said as they walked through a gate at the back of the slide and up some stairs that lead up.
"We paid extra to get a wristband that allows us to cut through; we just need to find the rear entrance." Razor stated simply as he lead the way up the stairs. Lauren glanced down at Damon who was at the back since she wasn't quite convinced, but he just shrugged. Deciding to let it go since she was getting to go on the water slide quicker than everyone she followed Razor up the slightly rusty stair way. At the top was another gate which razor opened and the four slipped through. There was already four people lined up to ride the slides and the lifeguard allowed them to take off; he glanced over at the four new comers, looked down he spotted the bright green wristbands and ushered them forward. They lined themselves up, both boys on the outside ones with the girls in the middle. There was protests coming from the queue behind them but the lifeguard quietened them and allowed the four to ride the slide.
They had ridden most the slides; the only one left was the boomerang slide. The four made there way over towards the line; once again through the power of the green wristbands they had there rubber rings within no time and an extra lifeguard guided them up the stairs, having to wind there way past the people already in the queue since there was no back entry. By now the whole park was aware that they were able to cut the queues since they'd been doing it all day and no one said anything. There appeared to be no one else in the park but them wearing green wristbands, which made Lauren curious. She knew Damon knew the truth, and Emily just seemed to buy the story of paying more to cut in front; but Lauren thought she smelt something fishy and would intricate Emily later.
"Who's going with who?" Damon asked as they approached the top. The rings were for pairs.
"I'm not going with you." Lauren stated immediately and Emily couldn't help but laugh at how much Lauren was trying to prove she didn't like Damon; even though deep down they had a nice friendship growing.
"Fine, go with John; I've got Emily who's much better." Damon said smugly reaching down and grabbing Emily's hand, pulling her in front of Lauren.
Once the four had reached the top and the previous riders hand flown down the boomerang Razor, with the help of the lifeguard lined up the ring. Lauren climbed in the front since it was smallest to biggest. As razor climbed in behind her and placed his legs beside her she felt her stomach do a double flip. As the lifeguard started to push the ring away from the entrance she grabbed a tight hold of Razor's legs and closed her eyes. She suddenly felt herself drop into what felt like thin air, her head whipped back as she felt herself let out a laugh. Opening her eyes as they went hurtling back up hill, then once again plummeting down, this time backwards. They swayed backwards and forwards for about 30 seconds before they came to a stand still at the bottom. The lifeguard helped them out of the ring as they moved towards the side.
"Enjoy?" Razor asked, noticing Lauren had a lot of energy vibrating from her.
"You kidding, that was amazing. It really felt like I was defying gravity." Lauren said in a giggly kind of way.
"Yet doing your gymnastics isn't?" Razor said with a small laugh.
"But that's different because I do that everyday nearly whereas this is something I'll only be doing today. Now let me see if I can tell if Emily likes it; because it would feel amazing if I liked something she didn't since she's the one who likes everything." Lauren told Razor turning her attention towards the top of the slide where Emily and Damon were getting seated in there rubber ring; Emily was currently laughing because Damon seemed to be whispering in her ear.
"What's the betting there kissing each other at the end of the week?" Razor said in Lauren's ear
"For once you might just be right." Lauren replied and they both let out a small laugh as they watched there two friends go plummeting down the boomerang; Lauren noticed Emily had a goofy smile on her face which indicated that she did actually like the slide. They too came to a stand still at the bottom of the slide and the lifeguard entered to help them out of the ring. Damon got out first, and then held out his hand for Emily who took a hold of it and pulled her out of it. The lifeguard handed the ring to a couple in the queue as they walked over towards there friends.
"How's about we ride down the lazy river now, give ourselves a break before we ride any other major rides." Razor suggested and they all agreed. Emily and Damon where slightly in front as they walked and Lauren noticed they still had there hands entwined. Lauren quickly moved closer towards Razor and whispered in his ear.
"Might even be before the day is out." And razor laughed slightly, trying to get the attention of the two in front; but they both seemed to be engrossed in there own conversation.
They lazy river was basically a pool which went around the entire park and people could ride around it in a rubber ring. There was single and double ones here but all four grabbed a single and climbed into the warm pool before getting into the rubber rings, the pool had a slight wave to it which made sure they carried on travelling around. The four sat in there rings and started floating away from the entrance. But it wasn't long before someone had a complain to make.
"Whose brilliant idea was this? It's so fricken boring." Damon said, since he had energy spurting through him literally 24/7 lying back in a rubber ring wasn't his idea of fun.
"Will you stop moaning for 5 minutes; it's so annoying." Lauren complained as she flipped her head back and closed her eyes as Emily laughed since Lauren seemed to complain about everything that involved movement.
"It'll be over soon and you can start riding the fast exciting rides again." Razor said as he laughed at his friend, his eyes closed. Suddenly he got tipped into the water by Damon and started chocking on the water since he hadn't been expecting it. The other 3 started laughing rather hard, Damon laughing the hardest as he settle back in this ring. Razor was still somewhere under the water but since they were laughing so hard they didn't think to search for him, out of no where Damon was been pulled into the water by his foot.
Once they'd ridden the lazy river they decided to get something to eat and watch the dolphin show before they went back to the slides. Damon yawned and moaned the whole time; and by the end Lauren had started to moan as well. As soon as the show was over the four were heading for the slides again. There favourite had been the spinning bowl; this was basically a slide which vertically dropped into a big bowl like shape where you spun around for a bit before falling down the hole at the bottom. A bit like those things you place your penny in and it spins around before dropping through the middle. When they reached it, they used the back exit once again and entered at the top; there were about 5 people already in the queue but because there was another show on it wasn't as busy. Lauren decided to go first so she lined herself up at the starting line and waited for the go ahead from the lifeguard sat at the top of the slide. Once Lauren had gone Emily lined herself up and waited for the go ahead; he held his thumbs up and Emily went flying into the dark tunnel, she felt the gravity pulling her downwards along with the cool water splashing her face; she hit the bowl with a thud and went spinning round. Lauren was also in the bowl; although she was closing in towards the hole in the centre.
"THIS FEELS AMAZING!" she yelled to Emily before she went plummeting through the hole; as Emily let out a laugh. It really did feel amazing; like she was free to do what she liked because she was floating on a cloud. Damon came falling into sight with a goofy grin on his face. Emily smiled at him before she went shooting through the hole and into the rather cold water since it was shaded from the sun. She quickly climbed out since she didn't feel like having Damon landing on her head and headed over to Lauren who was sat by the side with her feet dangling in the water.
It was 8:30 by the time they got back to the hotel so they decided they'd meet up at 10:00 and get a table downstairs for the 11:00 entertainment. Emily and Lauren had both changed into a dress each and now Lauren was sat on her blackberry while Emily emptied the contents of her bag.
"Hey Em. Did you think there was anything suspicious about the 'getting into rides before everyone else because we paid more' story from Razor?" Lauren asked suddenly remembering.
"No, I've seen it done at other places." Emily said; as she headed out onto the balcony to hang up her towel. Lauren decided to ask further questions when Emily returned; but she heard voices; well it was Emily's and it was a quite muffle but it was followed by a male voice. Lauren groaned, if it was Damon she wouldn't be returning soon.
A/N: so I like how this is coming along. I love writing about these characters and there different view points and friendships. I am really enjoying writing it as well so I'm not going to stop anytime soon. Plus I want to finish it for you guys. But I still have a lot to come.
Plus the slides described in this are from personal experience from a water park I visited when I was in Tenerife with my parents.
