I wrote this the same day I went to Dreamworld. Amazing place, definitely recommend it! I enjoyed writing this! I own none of the rides...

I woke the next morning to Vanessa shaking me.
'What?' I asked groggily.
'Danny said to get up; I've been shaking you for ages! You must've been tired, Danny wasn't exactly quiet when he came in either,' she said quickly, sitting next to me. I sat up, pulling my top up and rubbing my eyes. Sophie wasn't in the room.
'Where's...' I started.
'Gone to get something for her voice again,' Vanessa said, reading my mind.
I pushed Vanessa off my bed and got up, got dressed and went with her to McFly's room, where breakfast was already there. I took some toast and sat down next to Zac and laid my head on his shoulder and almost fell asleep there again.
'I am so tired,' I said, eating my toast. 'You were quiet last night,' I said to Zac.
'Ever thought maybe I was tired,' he said back to me in a weird tone; it was almost angry then gently pushing my head off his shoulder so he could get some more food. Tom looked over at us, biting his lip again in concern. You could tell he was terrified of us fighting. But Zac came back happy enough, kissing me on the cheek and everything. Tom gave me a little smile and went back to eating.

We all finished our breakfast then travelled to the Gold Coast, well almost into it; we could see the buildings, but we didn't need to go into it to get to Dreamworld. We got there, then got out, amazed by some of the rides there! We could see the Tower of Terror and The Giant Drop, then White Water World on the other side, which we weren't going to and a giant yellow roller coaster.
'Got everything?' Tom asked as he locked the doors. We nodded and followed Danny, Dougie, Harry and Nate up the car park to the front gate, bouncing around and being excited. We all lined up for tickets then got inside.
---
'Well, what are we doing first?' Harry asked us, looking at the map he'd stolen from Tom. We all shrugged.
'We know as much about this place as you do Harry,' Vanessa said, eyeing a guy as he walked past, smiling at her.
We all walked to the left and got into the Goldmining country thing.
'So who's goin on the Giant Drop?' Dougie asked.
'Me!' Vanessa, Sophie, Zac, Tom, Harry and Dougie and Danny yelled.
'No way,' Nate and me said, as everyone threw their backpacks, handbags, hats, sunglasses, shoes, wallets, iPods and phones at us and raced over to the line.
We waited for a while, watching another water ride go underneath us, while they lined up, until finally they were going up. They waved to us and kicked their legs. They finally got to the top, then sat there for ages, then finally came down. We could hear them all screaming and yelling, until they finally got down and stopped. They all got off and ran to us with massive smiles on their faces.
'That was awesome! You can see everything from up there!' Vanessa said, taking her backpack and sunglasses from me.
'Right, what next?' asked Dougie.
'Preferably something we all wanna go on,' Nate added.
'What about that ride that I was watching before?' I suggested, referring to the water ride.
'Okay, sounds good,' everyone agreed.
We lined up for ages, and then finally got on it. It was really fun and it went under bridges and you got really wet. We had to go in two lots cos there were too many people for one boat. It was Dougie, Harry, Tom, and Danny then Vanessa, Zac, Nate, Sophie and me. We all got off, some wetter than others; Zac, Tom, Harry and Sophie were soaked! We bought some of the pictures of us on the ride, Tom joking it would be their new MySpace picture.
---
We kept walking along the path to find another ride we all wanted to go on. We settled on another water ride; a log ride. It was four people to a boat at the most, but we all split up; Zac and me together, Sophie, Vanessa and Nate then Tom and Danny, Harry and Dougie. While we waited for ages and ages in the little shed with a dirt floor, Dougie spotted a little lizard sunning itself on a rock.
'Oooh!' he exclaimed. 'Hold my place,' he said to Harry as he cleared the fence in one bound and grabbed it before it had anytime to think of what had just happened. He held it in his hands and walked back over to us, stroking its back.
'Look Vanessa!' he said proudly, holding it up in front of her face. She shrieked and knocked it out of Dougie's hands.
'Argh Lizardy!!!' he cried and raced after it, through all the people lined up.
'Excuse me, excuse me, pardon me, coming through, move please, excuse me,' we heard him yelling at the people as he raced through them all, nose to the ground watching where the lizard was going.
Little did Doug know there was a pole in front of him. He was so absorbed in finding the lizard that he didn't see it and crashed into it, falling on the ground and clutching his forehead, much to the amusement of us and everyone else lined up. His face went bright red and he sheepishly sauntered back to us in embarrassment and pain.
'You alright Doug?' Harry laughed, putting his arm around bewildered Dougie and keeping him close to him and checking the bump on his forehead.
'Serves you right Doug,' Danny laughed.
---
We mucked around and Tom and Danny were doing paper scissors rock to see who would go at the back. Tom lost, so he was at the back. Finally it was our turn for the ride. Zac and I were first, followed by Sophie, Nate and Vanessa then the boys. Zac was behind me. Nate was in the back of Sophie's, then Sophie then Vanessa. McFly's boat went Doug at the front, Danny, Harry then Tom. We climbed up through some shed things, then went through some more, then went up and up and up, til we got to the top, where it told us to take off any hats and smile for the camera. Then we went down a slide, and at the end, got soaking wet! Zac and I jumped out of our boat and grabbed the towel that was in Tom's bag, and went over to the pictures and bought one each. I looked terrified and was screaming and Zac was laughing. As everyone else came down, we looked at their photos. Sophie was laughing, Nate looked scared, Vanessa was smiling, but it looked forced; Danny was laughing, Dougie looked scared, Harry looked excited, and Tom was also laughing. As they all got off, some dripping wet and soaked, some not as wet, they went over and got their pictures, then dried off a bit. All the boys were soaked!

'What about the Big Brother house next, it's pretty close, just down there,' Sophie said, pointing down the track a bit. We all agreed, but I didn't like Big Brother very much, so I wasn't too enthusiastic; it was mostly for Soph and Vanessa, who completely loved the show.
---
We went down there (it was so far away!) and bored me, then on the way back we saw a scary house, based on the movie The Mummy. We all raced inside without a second thought on what it was. There was a man dressed in an old army uniform, looking extremely serious. He told us to grab hold of each other's shoulders and not let go.
'Ooh, ooh, ooh! Can I go in the front? Please, please, please?' Danny begged.
They all gave into him. The line of us went Danny, Harry, Vanessa, Tom, me, Zac, Dougie, Sophie then Nate at the end. Dougie seemed to tense up every time he heard someone screaming inside.
'Right in you go. If you don't touch the creatures, they won't touch you,' the man said seriously. His voice was creepy and strange.
We walked into pitch darkness until we got to a rotating lit up thing, that when you walked over it, you got dizzy and felt like you were going to fall off it. We started walking down a corridor when these guys dressed in scary clothes and makeup stuck their heads through curtains, yelling at us and making scary faces. If they weren't such awesome actors and it wasn't pitch black, it would've been pretty funny. But it was almost terrifying, like a scary nightmare where you couldn't run from the monsters.
'Guys I don't wanna be in the front anymore!' Danny screeched in terror as a man jumped out at him. I screamed, so did Sophie and Vanessa and a couple of the guys, but I don't know who. I gripped hold of Tom's tall, broad shoulders tighter and tighter as we went through the house with statues moving and following us, yelling at us and scaring us! I screamed so much, I couldn't tell when I wasn't! I heard Nate yell a few times 'He's following me!' and we all walked faster. Danny kept running into walls and things when he was trying to find the doors. Harry had gotten bored and decided to have some fun by yelling 'BOO!!' at the people trying to scare us. He scared a few of them!
Danny started freaking out again and whimpering 'I don't wanna be at the front,' and Dougie was just as bad. When we saw the exit sign, Sophie, Danny, Dougie and me sprinted towards it and out into the bright sunlight. We waited for the rest of them to come out then went to find some more rides.
'Ouch Luce, your fingernails hurt,' Tom said, pulling his t-shirt down at his neck, showing ten perfect fingernail marks, one was even bleeding.
'Oh, my God, I'm so sorry Tom,' I said.
'It's alright don't worry about it, you were obviously scared,' he laughed.
'You deafened me,' Dougie said to Sophie who had been behind him.
'Sorry,' she said.

We went over to a ride called the Motocoaster, which we all went on. It was really, really fun, although when it first started it went that fast that your stomach jolted and you almost lost it! We went round the bends, almost horizontal and it was really fun. After that we went and sat down.
'Hey guys the Tiger Show is on soon, do you want to watch it?' Zac asked, reading through the brochure. We all nodded and followed the signs to Tiger Island and watched the show. It was amazing watching the tigers jump and things like that.
Then we went and had lunch, then went on a Rugrats ride at Nickelodeon Central. It was really fun and not too bad after just eating lunch. We went on a SpongeBob ride after that and that was fun.
---
Then we went to the biggest ride part of the park.
'Anybody going on The Claw?' Zac asked. Most of us shook our heads, except for Zac, Vanessa, Danny and Tom, who went and lined up for it. We watched them get tossed around in the air for a while, until they got off, hearing Vanessa scream the whole time. Zac went straight over to the side of the ride and puked, then wobbled back to us.
'Maybe I shouldn't have gone on it,' he groaned, sitting down and wiping his mouth. I went and sat next to him and put my arms around him while he got his balance back and his colour in his face which had completely disappeared. Tom and Danny and Vanessa looked a bit green and couldn't walk in a straight line.
'Is anyone going on the Wipeout?' Danny asked, watching the people get tipped upside down and backwards and forwards with interest. No one said yes, so we went on another ride, that everyone except Zac went on. He looked after the bags while we all went on the Reef Diver. It wasn't too bad, you went upside down, but not for too long, you got pretty dizzy though! All you could hear was Dougie, who was in the carriage behind me and Vanessa, with Danny, yelling that we were going upside down and Danny yelling he was dizzy. Then Harry and Tom (who were in front of Sophie and Nate) started yelling 'OHH MY GOD, guess what Dougster? We're upside down again!!!' Then Dougie and Danny started yelling 'Dude I feel sick!' at exactly the same time.
'Don't stop me now, I'm havin such a good time, I'm havin a ball....!' Tom and Harry began screeching at the top of their lungs, their voices changing every time we went upside down. Zac could not stop laughing at them when we got off. Dougie was pretending he was drunk, wobbling around everywhere. One of the park people that were standing at a ride, walked over to Dougie.
'We don't allow alcohol in our park,' we heard her saying to him, while he was standing there like a little boy who had got detention.
'But I don't have any!' Dougie protested. She said something else then walked back to her ride. Everyone except for Dougie roared with laughter.
'It's not funny!' Dougie kept yelling.
---
We went on the Vortex where it spins around and you stick to the wall and you can climb up it. No one could walk straight after that one!! You could hear Harry and Dougie who were on the other side, telling each other to get their butts out of each other's faces when they kept trying to climb the walls and yelling other random stuff at each other. Everyone in the room laughed at them. Dougie got off it and puked. I got dragged onto the Cyclone which was a roller coaster that went upside down (and the bright yellow one we'd been admiring as we walked in). We dragged everyone onto that and it was one of the best rides I went on! All Harry screamed was that he felt sick and wanted to get off.
---
Zac, Vanessa, Sophie, Tom and Danny worked up the courage to go on the Tower of Terror, which was a car that went straight up the side of the vertical tower the Giant Drop was on then came back down at around 100 miles an hour. They all got off that looking very shaken up and scared! Then we headed back home, our feet aching and really tired. We got KFC for tea on the way home. I fell asleep after tea, and I think a lot of other people did as well. We got home and everyone went to their own rooms, falling asleep as soon as their heads touched the pillows.
Yes, there was lizards on the rocks when I went (that wasn't fun... I was paranoid they're run up my leg!), no I didn't go on the Giant Drop, Yes the Mummy house was terrifying LOL. Reviews please?
Also, if you haven't already, please read and review my new fic, We're The Young, We're Alright. Thanks :)
