Chapter 20

At Blackpool Pleasure Beach, a group of girls were exploring the theme park. The couple of Konata and Kagami were ahead of the other two Miyuki and Tsukasa. Kagami was marching away from Konata with an embarrassed expression on her face after Konata's remark about their private life. Konata knew that when she did catch up with Kagami that they would start arguing as they usually did.

''You went to far back there Konata!'' yelled an embarrassed Kagami

''I couldn't think of anything else to say'' said Konata ''I said the first thing that I could think of''

''Typical that it would be something like that'' moaned Kagami

''It got us off the hook didn't it'' said Konata

''Barely, now they thing that we're...

''Having sex'' said Konata who finished Kagami's sentence for her

''Y...yeah'' said Kagami who was now blushing from the mere thought. ''Why did you have to say it Konata...I was going to surprise you as well'' said Kagami with a disappointed tone in her voice

''Huh? What do you mean?'' asked a confused yet interested Konata

''I was going to... well I was hoping that we might share... a bed one night'' said a nervous Kagami

''You... your being serious?'' asked Konata

''Well we are a couple, and I guess I get a little...

''Lonely'' said Konata

''Well...yeah, just a little'' said Kagami ''But don't you dare tell anyone that I said that to you!''

''So when were you going to tell me this?'' asked Konata

''Actually I was planning to sneak into bed after you had gone to sleep tonight'' smiled Kagami ''I wanted to cuddle you till I fell asleep''

Konata looked at Kagami and very slowly, her cat like grin appeared. Kagami spotted her grin and knew that Konata was thinking something devious.

''We're not doing anything like that Konata!'' moaned Kagami ''Not yet anyway''

''I know, to be honest Kagamin, I was going to suggest the same thing'' said Konata

''You...were!'' said a surprised Kagami ''Your being serious right?

''Yep, I think we should spend more time with each other doing other stuff before we come to that milestone'' smiled Konata ''I don't want to jump straight into bed and ruin what we have, I want it to mean something''

''That's...really sweet of you Konata'' blushed Kagami

''You think so, well I'm glad you do'' smiled Konata

''I was worrying that you were starting to revert back to your old habits again'' admitted Kagami

''Nah, as long as I have my Kagamin and she's happy, then I'll never need to go back'' said Konata

''That's good, your much sweeter when your like this'' smiled Kagami ''But you can still be annoying''

''But I know that deep down, you love every moment of it'' giggled Konata

''Maybe just a little, but don't get carried away Konata'' smirked Kagami as she stroked Konata's blue hair.

''But for now Kagamin, I think me and you have work to do'' said Konata

''You mean... Tsukasa and Miyuki?'' asked Kagami

''That's right! They need help and we're going to be that help'' said Konata

''But how, I've already told Miyuki to convince Tsukasa to go on the roller-coaster together'' said Kagami

''Hmm, that is good but we should prepare a back up plan in case this doesn't work'' said Konata

''Like what?'' asked Kagami

''Well...like''

Konata whispered into Kagami's ear what idea she had in her mind. Kagami wasn't sure at first but was eventually persuaded by Konata to help her in pulling her plan off.

''Are you sure about this?'' said Kagami

''Absolutely, you see it in Manga all the time'' smiled Konata ''All we do is trip one of them up and cause that person to fall on top of the other, they'll look into each others eyes and fall in love'' said Konata

''But we could hurt them by tripping them up'' said a worried Kagami

''Which is why I'm doing it'' said Konata ''With your long legs, you will hurt them'' teased Konata

''Shut Up! My legs are not long'' yelled Kagami ''Their normal sized''

''But I like them long'' admitted Konata ''Your legs are awesome Kagamin!''

''Let's not go into that please'' begged Kagami ''Remain focused will you...please'' begged Kagami

''Ok,Ok'' giggled Konata ''You get so cute when your embarrassed''

''I do not!'' yelled Kagami but she secretly felt happy from Konata's words but she wasn't going to show Konata

''Ok then, let's get ready'' smiled Konata who then grabbed Kagami's hand and dragged her off into the centre of the theme park.

Miyuki and Tsukasa were taking their time, unlike Konata and Kagami. Miyuki was thinking about what Kagami had told her to do but her nerves were starting to kick in, as were Tsukasa's.

''So...we're near the roller-coaster, so should we...

''Go on?'' replied Miyuki ''Umm maybe in a while, after the cues die down''

''Good idea, it looks long'' said Tsukasa who couldn't really see the cue as it was inside a building

''Hmm we could go on the log flume ride'' smiled Tsukasa ''I don't mind getting a little wet''

''Well Kagami and Konata have gone off...so why not'' replied Miyuki

''It's a bit of a walk'' admitted Tsukasa

''Oh, I don't mind...it's a nice day after all'' smiled Miyuki ''And I'm with you, so it's perfect''

''Awh, that's so sweet'' giggled Tsukasa ''I like being alone with you Miyuki''

''Let's go and enjoy ourselves Tsukasa'' suggested Miyuki

But as they were about to head towards the log flume ride, Tsukasa's phone vibrated and she pulled it out of her coat pocket to discover that she had one new text message.

''Oh...it's from Konata'' smiled Tsukasa

Meet us by roller-coaster in an hour

we'll all go on together

have fun with Miyuki ;)

''What does it say?'' asked a curious Miyuki

''Konata and sis want to meet up with us in an hour...by the roller coaster'' replied Tsukasa

''Hmm, well then we had better hurry up and get on the log flume'' suggested Miyuki

''Your right, the queue might be long'' said a worried Tsukasa

''Well I'm sure that if were a little late, they won't mind'' smiled Miyuki ''And it also means that we get to spend more time together''

''You really enjoy spending this much time with me?'' asked Tsukasa

''I wish I could spend even more time with you Tsukasa'' smiled Miyuki

''Oh, your just saying that'' giggled Tsukasa ''I'm not interesting at all, I just stand in the background''

''That's not true at all, I have never seen you as someone who stands in the background'' assured Miyuki

''You really think so?'' asked Tsukasa

''Most definitely'' smiled Miyuki

''He he then lets go and have some fun together'' smiled Tsukasa who then grabbed Miyuki and dragged her off to the log ride

Amazingly the two managed to cross the theme park in a short amount of time and reached the Log flume ride Valhalla with plenty of time to spare before they met with Konata and Kagami. The queue wasn't that long, so the two girls who both had feelings for the other but didn't realise it, queued up for the ride.

''I said that by the end of the day, I will have told Tsukasa my feelings for her...I gave my word to Minami'' thought Miyuki

''I can tell her, I know I can...it's three little words, I love you...that's all but why is it so hard to say then to Miyuki'' thought Tsukasa

''But if Tsukasa says no...I might lose her friendship...I don't know If I can now'' thought Miyuki

''If I lose Miyuki...I don't know what I'll do'' thought Tsukasa ''She's everything to me''

Whilst they were both lost in their thoughts, the queue quickly moved causing them both to panic and to cause the people standing behind them to get annoyed. An embarrassed Miyuki kept apologizing again and again all the way to the actual ride.

''Ok...you two in this one'' said a Pleasure Beach employee

''Let's go Miyuki'' giggled Tsukasa

''I'm so sorry, I do tend to daydream at times, I'm sorry we kept you all waiting'' whined Miyuki

''Miyuki, they've accepted your apologies, you can stop now'' giggled Tsukasa

''Oh...sorry, I get carried away when I apologize'' laughed Miyuki

''I think I know what Konata means when she says that Miyuki is...Moe'' thought Tsukasa

The ride began and Tsukasa and Miyuki began to enjoy the slow but relaxing ride. The log turned around a corner and approached a waterfall.

''Miyuki...we're going to go under it'' shrieked Tsukasa

''Well, I guess it is a log flume ride'' giggled Miyuki ''Hold on!''

''Ahhhh!'' cried Tsukasa as ice cold water rained down on the two girls

Tsukasa looked terrified and felt cold. She began to rub herself with her arms to try and get warm but she was too wet to warm herself up.

''I guess we should have brought our raincoats with us'' giggled Miyuki

The log was now inside a cave and going up a hill. Statues of men and dogs could be seen and flaming torches were hung on the walls making Tsukasa feel warm.

''That feels better'' smiled Tsukasa

''It's nice that it's just the two of us in here'' said Miyuki

''Your right, I would be so embarrassed if I screamed liked that in front of other people'' admitted Tsukasa

''But I have to admit that you look so cute when your cheeks light up'' admitted Miyuki

''I'm...cute'' thought Tsukasa whose cheeks were indeed lit up

''Welcome to Valhalla'' said a deep booming voice

''Who's that?'' asked Miyuki

''Prepare to enter the Viking heavens, you will get soaked'' said the deep booming voice

''S...soaked?'' cried Tsukasa ''I'm cold enough as it is''

''You be alright Tsukasa,come here and you'll be warm'' smiled Miyuki

Tsukasa wasn't sure at first but as the log reached the top of the hill, they both spotted a massive drop and they knew that would mean a soaking was coming. Tsukasa wasted little time in going in to cuddle Miyuki, just as the log dropped down.

''AHHHHHH!'' screamed the two girls in unison as they picked up speed, slamming the bottom sending a tital wave of water into the air, crashing down upon them both.

''I've got you Tsukasa...are you ok?'' asked a worried Miyuki

''Cold...the water's freezing...but your warm'' replied Tsukasa

Miyuki's cheeks lit up from Tsukasa's compliments. Having her close was all that Miyuki needed, nothing else mattered now. No hill or amount of freezing water could separate these two. The log sped along through the cave and down another small hill before the two girls had to duck from a massive piece of swinging timber that flew above their heads and on each side of the ground was rising flames that made them warm but also terrified them both. Eventually they started climbing up another big hill but this time, sunlight could be seen. Miyuki and Tsukasa could see the Theme Park and feel the warmness of Blackpool's sun.

''That feels nice'' smiled Tsukasa

''The wind in my hair feels great'' admitted Miyuki

''You holding me in your arms feels great'' smiled Tsukasa

Miyuki knew that this was the moment that she had been waiting for all this time. A beautiful view with the girl of her dreams in her arms, Miyuki took a deep breath.

''Tsukasa'' said Miyuki

''Yes'' replied Tsukasa

''There's something...that I have to tell you, something important'' smiled a nervous Miyuki

''What is it?'' asked Tsukasa

''I...I wanted to say this for quite some time now, It's been all that I can think about for weeks'' admitted Miyuki

''Tsukasa, I...I l-

'' Miyuki!'' said a frightened Tsukasa ''The boat's turning around!''

Tsukasa was right, the log had stopped and was now turning around, Miyuki looked over her shoulder and saw a massive drop behind them.

''I think we're going down backwards'' said Miyuki

''No! I don't want to'' shrieked Tsukasa who sounded terrified at the mere thought

''Tsukasa, I need to to tell you something''

''I'm scared'' cried Tsukasa

Unfortunately Miyuki had to forget about her confession for now, Tsukasa was to scared to listen to her. The log had now finished turning around and the girls were now backwards. The log slowly started to move towards the drop.

''Don't open your eyes Tsukasa, think happy thoughts'' suggested Miyuki who was scared herself but didn't want Tsukasa to see that.

''I want to get off, I don't like rides in the dark...I was trying to be brave for you'' admitted Tsukasa

''You didn't have to put yourself through the ordeal for me Tsukasa'' said Miyuki

The log reached the edge of the drop, slightly dangling over.

''Here we go, hold on tight Tsukasa'' said Miyuki

''Ahhhh!'' screamed Tsukasa as the log boat hurled down the drop before splashing down and soaking them both.

''My clothes!'' moaned Tsukasa ''Their completely drenched now''

''My glasses!'' said Miyuki ''I can't see!''

''Miyuki! Are you ok?'' asked Tsukasa

''I'm fine, just a bit of water that's all'' said Miyuki ''The exit, we've reached the end of the ride''

Miyuki was right, the log was now floating along at speed but was starting to slow down as they went around a corner to see the exit of the cave, sunlight was now basking on Miyuki and Tsukasa as they left the dark tunnel.

''You can open your eyes now Tsukasa'' smiled a drenched Miyuki who was wiping her glasses dry, but failed because her arms and sleeves were also wet

''Good, I'm so relieved'' said Tsukasa

''We really need to get dry or we'll catch colds'' said Miyuki

''Your right but where can we get dry?'' asked Tsukasa

''We'll find something'' smiled Miyuki as the log pulled into the station

Miyuki and Tsukasa both left the ride and headed out into the park. They went through the exit which led into a shop which had a drying machine for riders.

''How very convenient'' said Miyuki

They both stepped inside and pressed a button which brought warm and relaxing wind out from the walls. After a few minutes they were mostly dry, a bit wet but dry enough.

''That was nice'' smiled Tsukasa ''I just wish that I had a comb to sort my hair out'' she giggled

''Me too, my hair is such a mess'' giggled Miyuki ''Oh wait, don't you have a comb in your bag?'' asked Miyuki

''I don't think I brought it'' replied Tsukasa

''I might have one'' said Miyuki as she rummaged through her bag before pulling a blue comb out.

''I thought that I had at least one'' smiled Miyuki ''You use it first''

''Oh thank you'' smiled Tsukasa as she combed her hair ''But wait...Miyuki, didn't you have something to tell me?''

''Oh...never mind that now, it can wait'' said Miyuki

''Are you sure, I thought it was important'' said a curious Tsukasa

''It is but I can always tell you later'' said Miyuki

''Tell her now, she's asking you to tell her so do it!'' screamed Miyuki's mind

''No don't, your too nervous and this isn't the right place to say it'' said Miyuki's heart

''Are you ok Miyuki?'' asked Tsukasa ''You look concerned about something''

''I'm just thinking about...father'' lied Miyuki

''Oh yeah, didn't we say we were going to find out about him?'' asked Tsukasa

''I guess that I've been so focused on Tsukasa, I forgot all about that...and the holidays will be over soon'' thought Miyuki

''I guess that we have both been busy having fun that we forgot about it'' said Tsukasa ''But when we go back to London tomorrow I think I have an idea''

''An idea? What is it?'' asked Miyuki

''It's so simple, we should have done it at the very start'' said Tsukasa

''What...what'' said Miyuki

''Why don't we go and ask your butler about your dad, you did say that he's served your family for a long time so he's bound to know something'' giggled Tsukasa

''Tsukasa...that's brilliant'' smiled Miyuki

''It...it is?'' said a surprised Tsukasa

''Yes, why didn't I think of that'' smiled Miyuki who hugged Tsukasa

''I didn't think you would be this happy'' giggled Tsukasa

''Because of you, I'll know everything about my father'' giggled Miyuki

''I'm glad I could help'' said Tsukasa ''But It's nearly been an hour, so should we head to...the roller-coaster?'' asked Tsukasa

''I guess we should, Konata and Kagami will be waiting'' said Miyuki

''Then let's go'' smiled Tsukasa

Tsukasa and Miyuki set off to the other side of the theme park to meet up with Konata and Kagami. Miyuki wasn't going to give up just yet, she still had the roller-coaster to tell Tsukasa that she loved her but Tsukasa was also thinking about telling Miyuki that she loved her at the top.

''I'll tell her before the drop...It sounds so romantic but scary as well, I hope I don't chicken out'' thought Tsukasa

End of Chapter 20

Authors Note

This took longer then I thought It would, First I wanted to get up to where I was with Lucky Bonds before I deleted it, There was the World Cup final on as well, I've been out to see a few films with mates and I've done extra shifts at work. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I've been busy lol

And I've also been thinking of ideas for a sequel to this story but it's still early days.
