A/N: I know Sarah had 2 jobs and stuff and yet is always home in the story but that's how things work... Don't question me, question the power of fanfictions XD

Is This Payback?
I was walking to Steve's place after my part time job (best job a 16 year old could ask for). I took the long way because I didn't feel like being inside right now. It's around 9 and what do I hear? Yup, Steve being picked on in an alley again. I walked down, making a tad bit of noise to attract the bully's attention. The kid beating on Steve this time turned around, he was about to try and explain himself.
"No, continue what you were doing, pretend I'm not here." I continued to walk, now just infront of the man, yet beside Steve. I stopped and leaned towards them a bit to look as if I was studying their movements for art or something. The bully thinking this was awkward just continued to go to punch Steve. He knocked the shrimp right on his butt.
"Nice hit! Do it again! But this time, with a more serious face." I watched as the kid and Steve looked completely dumb-founded. Steve picked himself up, ready for another hit in the jaw. When the bully went to punch Steve, I swung my fist around as hard as I could, hitting the bully so hard in the face I think I fractured his skull. I'm assuming I didn't harm him too bad seeing as he got up (covered in blood from his nose) and ran away crying louder than a new-born. I staightened myself up and dusted off Steve's shoulders.
"Come on twerp! You think I could go one day without saving your tiny ass?"
"I was gonna get him! You just arrived to soon..."
"Sure you did pal! Come on, your mommy is probably worried sick." I laughed and luckily so did Steve.
Once we got home his mother got out a cloth to clean Steve's scrapes and cuts. It's a regular routine here, she doesn't bother asking anymore.
"Steve, tomorrow I'm taking you to the gym." He must have thought I was kidding cause he laughed.
"Oh, you're serious..."
"Come on, maybe all you need is a little muscle to scare off the bullies!" Steve was going into grade 9 next year and I couldn't have him still being picked on so late in life.
"We've tried that..." Sarah said monotone cleaning up her first-aid supplies. I looked down at Steve with a mocking smile.
"Bucky, you would think that after having you, an averagely fit person, protect me since grade four that bullies would know to back down, but they don't." He did have a good point.
"Fine... but also because I don't want to listen to you wheezing for hours after 2 push ups." I poked Steve's shoulder as I walked by to the living room. "But if we're not going to the gym..." I raised my voice because I was in another room. "... my schedule is free..." Steve came waddling in (well it looks like he's waddling because his legs are so short)
"You're always free Bucky... You would think you would know what to do with yourself after all of your years of life." We both laughed.
"I have an idea!" Steve sighed at my enthusiasm. "You. Me. Amusement Park. This Weekend!"
"Bucky, no. I can already feel my stomach getting sick and I haven't moved."
"Steve! This is what you're missing out on! What if after this weekend it was to disappear and become history, and you could have experienced it but were too chicken." I quirked an eyebrow to him.
"Then I'll be damn glad I wasn't there before it disappeared cause we could have been gone with it." He said with a sarcastic smile.
"Okay, no what about, you die if you don't go cause your body will be so stiff and not excited that you'll just drop dead next Monday, but going here saves your body and you live!"
"You're so over dramatic. Whatever pleases you, but if I do die, I will haunt you!"
"Fine by me! It's like you already haunt me, popping up out of no-where's cause you're so short!" I laughed.
Turns out Steve wasn't lying when he said he had a weak stomach, which shouldn't be a surprise, but the amount of vomit this kid brought up wasn't human. Sure I got some on my arm while on the 'Cyclone' with him, but the poor people behind us, now that was funny! We had a great time overall though, memories I'll never forget.
A/N: I had to put that scene in :D The Cyclone I thought would have been some spinning ride with seats but no, it's like a water slide! Imagine being on a tube and splashing through vomit... You'll never go to another water park without thinking of this chapter ever again MWHAHAHAHA!
Review and I'll give you one of my many kittens... unless you're allergic, then I'll find you a puppy... That's actually a lie... sorry... no puppies or kitties...
