S11-14
Uncle Asriel
Another relaxing Saturday morning, but Kris and Susie had an announcement for their son and daughter. "Ian, Abigail, what would you say about meeting your uncle?" Susie asked. They got pretty excited.
As if on cue, there was a knock at the door. Kris opened it, revealing his brother, Asriel. "Hey, Kris. Hey, Susie. It's been a while." He greeted.
"It certainly has."
"Asriel, we'd like you to meet your nephew and niece, Ian and Abigail." Susie gestured to the two in question.
Asriel turned his attention to the two young teens. "Ian and Abigail, huh? Mom's told me all about them. They're never boring."
"So, how have you been, bro?" Kris asked.
"Well, I should've told you this back when you and Susie got married, but... I met a girl in University that I-"
Susie interrupted him with more questions. "What's her name? What's she like? Is she a human or Monster?"
"Slow down, Susie. I'll get to that. Back to what I was saying... I fell in love with this girl I met in University, and she likes me back."
Kris looked puzzled. "She likes you back? How do you know?"
"I gave her a handful of flowers, complimented her, helped her out, then she left me a love letter. Now, to answer your questions, Susie... 1: Her name is Frisk Cerabelle. 2: She's sweet and kindhearted. 3: She's human."
Kris then noticed an engagement ring on Asriel's finger. "Am I right in assuming you two have already been dating for a while, and you'be asked for her hand in marriage?"
"You're right, Kris. I actually have the support of her mother, father, and older sister." Asriel returned his attention to the youngest of the family. "But enough about my love life! Let's head out and have a blast at... Kings Island!" He exclaimed, handing out family passes. "Oh, and just in case, you may want to bring along some swimwear."
Without warning, a car horn honked loudly. Everyone looked outside, seeing Toriel in her minivan. "Let's head out, everyone!" She called out.
Eventually, the Dreemurr family had arrived at a massive amusement park, and with everyone's family passes validated, they were good to go. After what felt like hours of waiting in line, the family made it into the gigantic park, then picked up a map for each present member.
"What ride do you wanna go on first?" Asriel asked.
Susie looked to her left, seeing Kris watching her, waiting for her to make a decision. She looked through the map, then made her choice. "Let's go with... the Congo Falls. Start small, y'know?" Nobody had any problems with Susie's choice, so the family headed past the Invertigo, seeing the Drop Tower's ring go down.
The line for Congo Falls was reasonable enough. Two more full loads, then it was their turn.
Eventually, the Dreemurr family made it to the front of the line. Each row of seats could hold four passengers, but only three were filled for two of them. Asriel, Ian, and Abigail sat up front, while Kris, Susie, and Toriel sat behind them.
The boat was slowly lifted up into a U-turn by a ramp of spinning conveyors, where it rolled through the U-turn, then slid down a slide of rushing water, covering a considerable distance upon reaching the bottom and causing a very large splash in the water at the bottom, leaving everyone drenched yet laughing. The boat rolled back around, sliding into the shack as the other car went down the waterslide, but not without a few small pumps blowing a stream of water into the air along the second U-turn, soaking the family further.
With the ride over, Asriel shook himself off, water sprinkling everywhere.
"That was fun. Where to now?" Susie asked, brushing herself off.
"I'm thinking we split into two groups. You and Kris go with Toriel, while Ian, Abigail, and I head elsewhere in the park."
"Well, I definitely couldn't have planned that out any better."
Asriel pulled his phone out of the nearby box, meant to hold any possessions that would be damaged by the water, then checked the time. "OK, It's 11:52 AM. At 4:15 PM, we'll meet back up at Tidal Wave Bay, all the way on the other side of the park. Sound good?"
"Stay safe." Toriel said, smiling.
While Kris, Susie, and Toriel made their way to the Bat, Asriel, Ian, and Abigail headed over to the Backlot Stunt Coaster.
The trio got into one of the car rides, which then boosted off down the track, spiraling upward twice before dunking down, passing three props that resembled police cars, complete with flashing sirens and sounds. The ride car then went by a few billboards and through a slanted shed before coming so a stop near some barrel props with a flammable danger label on them. On top of a nearby freight container was a fake helicopter, complete with a spinning rotor and the sound effects. The 'guns' on its underside had lights on the end that were turning on and off like a firing rotary cannon. From one of the barrels overhead, a fire flared up for a few brief moments before the ride car went through the hole just up ahead, coming out of the hole torn through the Backlot Stunt Coaster's own sign, ramping down, and ending up right back where it started.
"That was AWESOME!" Ian cheered.
"That was an adrenaline rush!" Abigail was shaking slightly, but still smiling.
"Where do you two wanna go next?" Asriel asked as they got off the ride.
"Adventure Express!" They replied in unison.
Eventually, the trio had reached the back of the line for Adventure Express, and Asriel sent his mother a text, asking her where she was. Toriel responded, saying that they were on their way to the Beast.
Once Asriel, Ian, and Abigail had reached the front of the line, they got in one of the cars. It started on its way down the track, under the bridge, through the trees, and into a tunnel, where it then came back out, going under another section of track before entering another tunnel. Once the ride car had reached the end of the second tunnel, it went up a ramp, then made a single spiral down before reaching another spiral and heading down a third tunnel, and on the other side was yet another spiral, going into yet another tunnel, within which there was an upward ramp, and within that tunnel were mechanical Mayan statues slamming their fists down on the pillar tops upon which they were positioned, and at the end was another Mayan statue, but with glowing eyes. Just like that, the ride was over.
After that, Asriel got another text from Toriel, saying that she's never felt so terrified yet excited in her life, but she was still having so much fun. The rest of their waiting time was spent on Viking Fury, the Racer, Diamondback, Boo Blasters on Boo Hill, Banshee, and even Drop Tower.
When Asriel checked his phone afterwards, he found that it was 4:09 PM, so the trio made their way to Tidal Wave Bay... on the other side of King's Island.
The whole family regrouped at Tidal Wave Bay, changing into their swimwear. While Ian, Abigail, and Asriel were playing in the water, Kris, Susie, and Toriel decided to sit back, maybe catch a few rays, and enjoy some relaxation.
"I assume Asriel told you about his engagement?" Toriel wondered.
"A girl he met in University, named Frisk Cerabelle." Kris stated.
"A real sweetheart. She works as a park ranger, even volunteering part-time at a nature reserve, or even as a pet sitter! I even heard she has quite a reputation of visiting patients in local hospitals, raising their spirits. I hear she's even earned herself the nickname 'Heaven's Flower'."
"She sounds like a perfect fit for Asriel, just like me and Susie." The purple Monster in question blushed, giggled, and pulled Kris into a warm hug.
Intending to give him a peck on the cheek, Susie ended up with her lips meeting his own as he turned to face her... but neither of them had a problem, so they just went with it. Toriel chuckled at them, seeing as it looked like they were meant to be together. She then looked out to see her other son and grandchildren playing in the water, having a very good time. Ian and Abigail were obviously very fond of their uncle.
When Toriel turned her attention back to her adopted son and daughter-in-law, she saw that they had practically fallen asleep in each other's embrace, smiles still very much present on their faces.
Ian and Abigail have met their uncle Asriel for the first time... and he took the family to Kings Island?! Best first impression ever!
Oh, and about Frisk Cerabelle... I'm not sure if I'm spelling that last name right, despite it being marked with a red underline for spelling errors. I'm going for a last name pronounced 'Sarah-bell'. PM me if you find the proper spelling.
With that being said, I'll see you next time.
