Chapter 10 - Learn emotions
On the way to the Mega Coaster, they passed several other roller coasters and rides that he had driven once before. Silver-Star, Blue Fire, Break Dancer, Airwolf, Frisbee and much more. Hey, it's like this carnival would be tailored to my preferences ... Miku must have created this environment based on the data from my memories - actually cool, he thought. They walked quickly up the ramp to the entrance and sat in the first car. The roll bars closed over them and exerted a slight but not unpleasant pressure on them. He gripped the straps left and right of his chest with a firm grip and Miku did the same. The narrow gates before the entrance of each car closed - a sign that the start was imminent. Miku turned to him and smiled at him again. His heart jumped. Then the catapult launch of the train pulled them back into her seats. The cars were accelerated to 80km / h. The coaster raced with up to 120km / h through steep turns, screws and downs. Rapid climbs alternated with almost vertical descents. Quick changes of direction followed by short periods of weightlessness, then they were again pressed with 4.5g in the seats.
"You have to let go of the temples and pick up your arms!" He yelled at Miku. Somewhat astonished, she looked over at him, then did as she was told.
"Woo-hoooo ! That's really fun! And that feeling in the stomach! Now I know what it means to speak of butterflies in the stomach..." she exclaimed cheerfully. He smiled at her and showed her thumbs up.
"Everything okay ...?" He wanted to know.
"Yeah, that's wonderful ... I want more of it."
After about one and a half minutes the ride was over and they got a bit shaky on their feet. Miku jumped and danced around. Full of impatience she wanted to know:
"What are we going next with? What else is there?"
"Oh, you do not have any idea what else there is to experience for great rides and roller coasters. You will love it."
They ran all over the fair and drove with every coaster and every ride that was just wild and fast enough.
After about 3 hours they slowed down a bit.
"I'm starting to get a bit dizzy now ... I guess I've never ridden so many roller coasters and carousels in such a short time ... it's pretty hard-even here, in the Oasis!" He addressed the word to Miku.
"In the what ...?" Miku wanted to know, obviously she did not understand the joke.
"Oh no, was an insider ... should be joking, but did not fire."
"But witty is a good cue ... tell me a joke, make me laugh!"
"I do not know .. does that work if I tell you a joke I know? I mean, it's not funny for me anymore."
"Oh, come on, please ..!" Miku drilled.
"Well, I'll try it.
Ooookay here it comes: After a long business trip, the wife comes home late at night. In the bedroom, you notice two pairs of feet sticking out of the comforter, rather than just one.
Angry she gets a baseball bat and dribbles on the bed, over and over again, until the screams and the whimper fall silent.
She goes one floor up to the living room, where she is suddenly standing in front of her newly awakened husband: Hi honey, my parents are visiting, I have them in our bedroom. It's okay for you, right?"
There followed a moment of uncomfortable silence. She did not understand, he thought. He wanted to apologize that this is not the best joke, Miku snorted. Her laugh was so wonderful and heartwarming.
"HaHaHaHa...good one! Pretty evil, but good!" She laughed violently, putting her hand on his chest to support herself. Almost imperceptibly, he flinched. He looked first at her hand and then at her face. He opened his mouth to say something, but could not say a word. Instead, Miku said almost in a whisper.
"That feels...beautiful...your heartbeat I mean..."
"Uh, thanks..." he replied and seemingly a little embarrassed Miku withdrew her hand.
"You know Miku, I'm getting hungry..."
"Great, let's eat something. What is your favorite food?"
"So at fairs, I like to snack on lard cake with powdered sugar. Do you really have to try, Miku!"
They strolled over the fair and Miku tried lard cake, pizza, a candied apple and much more.
"These many yummy things also give me pleasure, but it's a different kind of joy, unlike the rollercoaster feeling. What else makes you so happy?" Miku asked impatiently.
"So ... can you dance? Excuse me, stupid question –of course you can do that ... do you feel like ... dancing?"
"Yes, very much…"
Again the world changed into dazzling light and they found themselves again high above a city on a steel surface. It was a balmy night and although they were obviously many meters above the ground, it was warm and there was only a slight breeze.
"Wait, I know this skyline! That's Kiel ... we're on the roof of the HDW shipyard-crane."
For a moment, they enjoyed the view over the Kiel fjord, on which lay many small and large boats. It had to be the last day of the annual Kiel Week, just before the final fireworks. And as if by cue, the fireworks started. Miku's song "With an unblurred eye" sounded like from invisible loudspeakers.
They danced as if they never had done something different. He whirled her around, closing her eyes on the spins and leading her around the steel dance floor. Sometimes tightly entwined, then they moved away from each other again. Their dance lasted for a felt eternity and over their heads the furious fireworks. Somewhat out of breath, they later sat side by side on the edge and looked over the Kiel skyline.
Without a word he sought her hand and found it. Miku looked over at him and blushed slightly, which made her look even prettier. Slowly he leaned toward her and she joined him. They looked each other in the eye and made it clear that they wanted to do that. They both closed their eyes and finally their lips met ...
Author's note: I find the song "With an unblurred eye or Burenai ai de" by MitchieM feat. Hatsune Miku goes very well with the situation on top of the crane and, in my opinion, it is one of Miku's most beautiful songs
