**Hey guys sorry about the delay, my grandmother passed away so things got pretty crazy, but I am back now.**

*Also this chapter is a little ooc since they are at a carnival, so it's more fun atmosphere.*

Chapter 16

**Aris's POV**

We pulled up in front of Laurel's apartment; I figured since we weren't arrested and everyone got along that she would be ok with Len and Lisa knowing where she lived. There is so much make-up caked of my neck it is really annoying, but it covers the bruising. Down side to that, we had to put more make up on me so I looked kind of natural, which meant face and chest covered. Thea ran down the steps and got in the back with Lisa; Len was driving and I'm in the passenger's seat.

"How are you feeling Aris?" Thea asked.

"I'm fine as long as I don't do much riding, I'll be fine," I replied, Lisa chuckled and I glared at her out of the corner of my eye.

"Sis be nice, Aris can't turn to glare at you," Len said smirking.

"You two are a lot like Aris, Ollie and I aren't you?" Thea asked.

"If only you knew the half of it Speedy," I replied.

Len pulled into the parking lot and followed the flagger people to the spot. I grabbed my cross body purse out and Lisa pulled out her huge purse. I smirked wondering who was going to pickpocket the most people. We went up to the gate and paid to get in before entering. Thea grabbed my arm and started pointing out different things that she saw around us. I smiled remembering when she was a kid and pulled me everywhere she wanted to go, while Ollie had to tag along.

"Come on Thea, let's go buy tickets I'm riding with you," Lisa said handing me her purse.

Len stood beside me dropping two wallets into the bag.

"Seriously, we just got here, and I'm at an unfair disadvantage," I said looking at him.

"We'll have to make it up some other time," he smirked as I shook my head barely, it hurts to move.

"Am I score keeper then?"

"It'd help."

I pulled out my phone and turned to an open note marking Len for two…make that three. He put another one in the bag.

"We got you tickets for the Ferris wheel, you don't have to move then," Lisa said.

"Yeah I don't mind that, but let's wait till it gets dark. I need my eyesight and don't want to stare into the sun. By the way three, zero," I said.

"Seriously, we just got here," Lisa groaned.

"Please tell me you guys aren't doing anything illegal," Thea said with a raised eyebrow.

"Admit to nothing and technically it's more of a hobby," I smiled as she shook her head.

"As long as I don't see it fine, if Ollie's ok with this I don't see why I can't."

"Thank you Thea."

"Where to first Thea?" Lisa asked.

After about an hour of Lisa and Thea riding we all decided to take a break and walk around. Len currently has eight wallets, Lisa has four and I scored one; damn neck.

"Aris, dart throw," Thea pointed.

"I'm down," I said as we walked over to it.

I paid the man three dollars and he gave me three darts. I laid two down knowing I wouldn't need them, I threw the dart and popped the balloon. Now that I think about it, it's probably unfair advantage to play some of these games.

"Speedy, you want the horse?" I asked and she nodded smiling.

It's really weird how a carnival can bring the kids back out in us. I pointed to the horse as the man brought it down to me, I turned my body and gave it to Thea.

"I propose a game," Len smirked pointing at the water guns and I smirked.

"You are so on," I said as we walked over.

"I feel like this is highly unfair to the kids you two are about the cream," Lisa said.

"You could play and it's be even more unfair, plus this is winner takes all," I stated.

Lisa shook her head and stood back with Thea as Len and I played. I sat down and started taking in the sight at the end of the gun, instantly I saw the barrel was bent and calculated the readjustment. The man running the booth waited until we had a few more people, most were grown men, and I pointed that out to Lisa she rolled her eyes. Once we had enough people the man started talking as Len and I took our mark. At the buzzer we both shot and the balloons started filling, we were neck and neck. Len and I were tied and I kept willing the water to go faster; I heard a pop and then mine popped. I swiveled in the seat and glared as Len smirked.

"The best man won," he smirked.

"Screw you," I said.

"You already do," he replied and I pouted.

I walked back over to Lisa and Thea and they were both grinning as I glared at them. Len walked back over to us with a huge Olaf from the movie Frozen. I rolled my eyes, before he held it out to me.

"I hate seeing a sore loser," he smirked as I took it.

"Really Frosty?"

"Really Elsa."

"Why do you know the movie Frozen and why am I Elsa?" I asked as we continued to walk around.

"You and Lise made me watch it on one of your movie nights. To answer your second question, Elsa is a Queen as are you and there aren't any other queens in Disney movies."

"There's the Evil Queen."

"Are they really having this conversation right now?" I heard Thea mumble.

"They'd argue over the color of the sky, it's actually quite cute," Lisa said smiling.

"It's not cute!" I yelled.

**Len's POV**

I was sitting at a picnic table with Thea, while Lise and Aris were getting food. There was a long line at the stand, so Aris and Lise decided they were going to wait and for us to hold a table.

"You and my sister?" Thea asked.

"Nothing romantic, thieves don't have relationships," I stated.

"Keep telling yourself that," the girl said rolling her eyes. "Just know that if you ever hurt her I will find you and put a few arrows in you."

"You're going to have to beat your brother, he's already called it." I smirked at the girl. "Why does Aris not go by her real name? There's no record of Aristotlia."

"She got picked on as a kid and resented the name. When she was twelve, mom and dad got it legally changed and made sure there was no trace of her name being Aristotlia. There's only a few of us that actually know it, Ollie was mad which is why he called her Aristotlia."

"Can we please not say that name too loudly?" Aris asked as she and Lise sat food on the table.

"My fault, I was wondering why you hated it so much," I said.

Aris nodded and sat beside Thea. I looked at everything they got and mentally cringed with all the sugar. I leaned over a pulled off a piece of Aris's funnel cake.

"Get your own, I don't get these often," she pouted.

"Eight, eight and one," Lise smirked.

"Recount sis, it's ten, eight, three," I smirked back at her and she glared.

All of us were ready to leave, but we still had to ride the Ferris wheel. We all stood in line waiting, because we weren't the only ones who decided to wait until now to go. Aris was hugging the stuffed snowman laying her head on it, even though she shouldn't with her neck. I knew she'd fall asleep in the car.

"I'm not riding with my brother that's weird," Lisa said drawing me out of thoughts.

"I'm not riding with the guy my sister's banging," Thea said.

"Shut up, I'll ride with him jeez," Aris hissed, confirming my "her being tired" thought.

We sat all of our stuff in the slots provided, before Lisa and Thea got on. The next chair rolled down and Aris and I sat down in it. We were lifted up one level and stopped, she instantly laid her head on my shoulder.

"This isn't relationship, this is I'm tired," she said. I chuckled wrapping my arm around her shoulders.

"I know, I'm guessing you'll fall asleep before we get to the hotel."

"That's a bet you'd win," she mumbled.

We went up another level and you could start seeing Star City, it's a great view, but Central is better.

"It's nice to visit, but I miss home," Aris said.

"Well you have three days left before we leave."

"Home is Central, Star City is where I was born, but Central City is my home," she said I smiled and kissed the top of her head.

We went up another level and were almost at the top.

"Do you think you'll ever retire?" she asked.

"Never thought much into it, I'm going to have to eventually my body won't be able to handle it. Then I'll have to and by that point I'll have enough money, I'll never have to worry about a thing. What about you?" I found myself asking.

"Not any time soon, I want to have enough money to start up my company again. I love being able to build things, but with the companies name in the dirt and Palmer buying it out, I'm going to have to build from the ground up."

"Good thing I have a few jobs planned for when we get home," I smirked.

"You bet."

"How's your neck?"

"Bothering me a bit, my meds probably wore off, and trying to sleep on your shoulder is probably a bad idea, and yet I'm too tired to give a damn."

"And Mick's the crazy one?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm not crazy, sometimes lazy."

"Whatever you say."

We were now at the top, so we could see everything around us. I looked down and saw Lisa and Thea trying to peak at the two of us. This isn't a stupid romance, I'm not going to kiss her.

"I swear, those two thinking they going to see something," Aris said and I chuckled.
