My POV:

Once we got there, we all unloaded our stuff and headed out. "I'll be back. I'm going to buy our tickets. Why don't you guys start putting sunscreen on." Mom suggested as she left to the entrance. We all put sunscreen on.

"What is this for?" Sem asked.

"It's to protect ourselves from the sun so we don't get sunburn. Sunburn is when you stay too long under the sun and your skin turns red. Then, it'll hurt every time you touch it. So, we gotta put sunscreen on." Takashi-nii explained as he put sunscreen on his arms and legs. After putting sunscreen on, we all brought our stuff and met up with Okaasan in front of the entrance. She handed us each our tickets and we entered the park after going through metal detectors and stuff.

Mom said, "Ok. You guys can head off in your own groups, but I want pairs. Hikari and Vince, go ahead and form a pair." I smiled and hugged Okaasan. "Since we have 9, I need to group u-

"Mom! I'll group us together!" Takashi-nii cut in, remembering the gang didn't have cell phones. Mom looked surprised for a moment, before nodding.

"Ok, Fumiko, you'll go with Penelope. Kai and Sam, then Leon, Me, and Mom." Takashi-nii directed as he pointed to them.

Mom smiled, "All right. If you guys are hungry, you can buy small snacks, but we'll all eat lunch at around 1:30. After eating lunch and walking around, we can go to the water rides and stuff, all right?" Everyone nodded. "Ok, go on! Oh wait, open the maps." Okaasan asked of us as she handed us each a park map. "I'll put our bags in the lockers here. So, wait here and I'll give you a key that you can pin to your clothes. Hold on." We waited for Mom as she ran over to the locker place, then ran back here with the keys. She handed Kai-nii one, Fumiko-nee one, and kept one for herself.

"Ok, if your stuff is mixed together, call the other person that has the key. Ok, now you guys can go! We all cheered and headed off in our separate groups. Vaan and I held hands as we walked together. I widened my eyes happily as I saw the first rollercoaster ride I laid my eyes on.

"Vaan, wanna go that one?" I asked him as I pointed to "Devil's Ride." Vaan looked at it curiously, then nodded.

"Sure." he replied with a smile. Vaan and I hurried into the ride, where a short line was formed. After waiting for about five minutes, we sat in the little chairs of the rollercoaster. Vaan and I strapped on our belts as we rode the rollercoaster. We were slowly going up.

"Um….Hikari…?" Vaan called me out.

"Yeah?" I answered back with a smile.

Vaan asked again, "Are….we going to drOOOPPPPPPP!" Vaan started yelling as we rushed down. I screamed in joy and started laughing as I put my hands up.

"Woo!" I cheered out.

"W-w-w-whaaaaaaaaaaaattt kind of rideeeee is thissssssssssssssss!" Vaan managed to shout out.

"ROLLERCOASTER!" I shouted happily in reply. After we were done riding the rollercoaster, I laughed as I got off. Vaan was holding his mouth, wanting to puke. I helped him out and we walked to a nearby trash can. Vaan puked for a few moments, before wiping his mouth and walking back over to me.

"Never. Again." Vaan gasped out. I giggled.

"Oh come on." I urged him.

"Want me to kiss you?" he threatened. I thought about how he just threw up and shivered.

"Ok, ok. Let's go play some games!" I exclaimed happily as I ran to a game booth. In this booth, we had the stack of bottles with a ball. I handed the guy $2 and handed Vaan the three balls we were given. "Hit those bottles at the same time." I instructed him. Vaan nodded and put on a determined look as he threw the first ball. I gaped as he knocked down all three bottles on his first try.

"Ding ding ding! We have a winner!" the guy in the booth announced. He handed me a big panda. "There you go Ma'am!" I giggled and thanked the guy as we walked away. I hugged Vaan tightly.

"Thank you thank you!" I shouted happily. He smiled and put his arm around my shoulders.

"So, where to next?" Vaan asked. I smiled and looked up at him.

I answered, "I dunno. Where do you want to go?" Vaan looked around the rides, thinking for a while, before pointing at the "Drop Tower." I nodded with approval."Let's go then." Vaan declared happily as we made our way there. We waited for about 10 minutes in the line, before it was our turn. We strapped ourselves on and Vaan looked at me nervously as we started rising to the top. "I'm guessing we're going to drop really fast, huh?" Vaan guessed. I nodded happily as we stopped at the very tippy top. "Whoa…." Vaan gasped out as he looked at the view of the whole amusement park.

"3.…2.…whoa!" I counted down, but then stopped as I shrieked when we were instantly released to fly down. Vaan and I and the other people on the ride shrieked at the top of our lungs. As we floated down slowly, our screams ceased and out came sighs of relief. When Vaan and I got off the ride, he started rambling on about how fun an amusement park was. I giggled and held his hand as we walked to some more rides. After riding a few more rides, we met up with Mom and the others to eat lunch. We all went and bought a variety of foods: sushi, ramen, takoyaki, and even some ice cream. Kai-nii came back with juice and some soda. All of us sat down on a table and devoured all the food. While eating, we all talked.

"So Hikari, Vince. I just want you guys to play it safe. Dating is fine by me, but be responsible. I'm ok with it, and I trust that Hikari's siblings will watch out for Hikari. Vince, just take care of Hikari and don't do anything that will make me want to hurt you, understand?" Mom stated in a threatening tone. Vaan laughed nervously and I giggled.

"Y-yes Ma'am." Vaan stuttered out with a small bow. Mom laughed and smiled.

"I'm glad." Mom replied with a content sigh. "And Kai, Takashi. Get a girlfriend, please. I don't want any of my boys growing forever alone."

"Mom!" Takashi-nii and Kai-nii called out in shock. We all started laughing as we finished up our food.

Mom instructed, "All right. Go in your lockers, grab your bags, and give the keys back at the desk. After playing in the water, you can use the showers and dress up after. Then, we'll go eat dinner out and go home, understood?"

"Hai!" my siblings and I shouted as we all ran to the lockers. The gang followed as we grabbed our stuff and returned the keys. We found a spot to put all of our stuff and our mom sat down.

"Ayako, aren't you going to have fun with us?" Sem asked my mom politely. My mom smiled and laughed, shaking her head.

"No Sam. I'll be reading my magazines while I watch you guys. Don't worry about me. You guys have fun!" Mom called out as she waved goodbye. "Oh and Hikari! Take off your glasses and give them to me!" I sighed and gave her my glasses, my vision instantly becoming a bit blurry. All of us walked to the nearest water ride, "Logger's Run." Famous all around the world! We actually all fit in one log. I sat in front of Vaan and behind Kai-nii. Vaan held onto my waist and I smiled. As we rushed through the ride, water splashed us and we all shrieked.

After the ride, Fumiko-nee suggested, "Let's go there! The water park!" We all cheered as we ran to the water park and climbed up onto ladders and stuff. There was a big bucket that was hurriedly filling up with water to dump on the people playing in the park. Vaan and I went on one of the water slides and slid down together.

"Woo!" Vaan and I cheered happily. After getting off the slide, the big bucket poured the water on the whole park and screams were heard everywhere. When we met up with my mom, we all got towels and wrapped them around ourselves, some of us shaking. I felt really uncomfortable because my bra was sagging, and I think Fumiko-nee and Penelo felt like that too. Mom smiled and looked at her phone.

"All right, it's getting pretty late. It's like, 5 now. Go take showers and change your clothes. Hurry and then we can go eat dinner after." Penelo, Fumiko-nee, and I hurried to one shower, where we washed off our bodies and hair. We dried ourselves off and went into separate changing rooms. I changed into jeggings, a long white tank top, and a white crop top. I put on my gladiator sandals and let my hair down into a headband. I went out to see Fumiko-nee changed into blue skinny jeans, black Toms, and a yellow shirt with the word "Legit" on it. Penelo was wearing brown gladiator sandals, jean Capris, and a purple ¾ sleeve v-neck. We sat down with my mom, waiting for the guys. As we waited, Penelo, Fumiko-nee and I talked about stuff in school. Once the guys were out, we all stood up and got ready to leave the park to eat out.

Takashi-nii was wearing khaki skinny jeans, a black t-shirt, grey crewneck, and his black and blue Nikes. Kai-niichan wore his dark blue skinny jeans, red long-sleeve shirt, a black hoodie, and his checkered Vans. Sem had on khaki skinnies as well, a simple white shirt, and black Converse. Larsa was wearing blue basketball shorts, black and white Nikes, and a black, long-sleeved hoodie. Vaan was the last one to change, wearing black skinny jeans, white shirt, yellow Pikachu hoodie, and black Vans.

"Come on guys! Want chicken for dinner?" Mom asked us.

"CHICKEN!" my siblings and I cheered. The gang just went along and cheered too. We all went to KFC and sat in a booth, waiting for Mom to come with the food. Once she sat down with the chicken, Mom first gave the chicken to the gang, then let us go crazy once she got her food. See….my siblings and I love chicken. As I took a bite off my chicken and scooped some rice in my mouth, I just wanted to melt right there.

"I'm guessing they love chicken." Larsa said with a chuckle. Mom nodded and smiled.

She answered, "Mhm. Those kids love chicken a lot. Got it from their father." Mom looked down and me, sitting beside her, took her hand and squeezed it. All of a sudden, my phone started ringing and everyone turned to me. I got up from the booth and wiped my hands, then answered my phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Hikari!" I heard Sakuno shout happily. I smiled.

"Wassup Sakuno?"

"The boys and I were wondering if we could come over to your house tomorrow around lunch time. We could help out at the restaurant. That ok?" I silently gasped. *Shit….* This was my best friend! I could never say no!

"Sure!" I exclaimed in reply, but flinched on the inside from my answer. We hung up, then I told Mom. The gang and my siblings looked worried, but I shot them an assuring look. After eating, we all went home and washed up, then went to sleep. *Shit….I need to think of something tomorrow…..and fast…* was my final thought as I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
