Chapter 11

Crocus Lucy's POV

Levy and I are peacefully sleeping but share a groan of agony when some monster starts banging on our door! Being closer to the door Levy gets up to answer it and calls out, "Lu it's your editor."

I start thinking of ways to torture Mika and they slowly become more and more gruesome as I make my way to the door. Mika stands there looking unbelievable perky and ready for the day. She gasps at my appearance then apologetically hands me a cup of coffee, "I come in peace I swear!"

Appeased by the coffee I welcome her in knowing it would be rude to chase her off now. Turning back to sit on my bed I notice Levy with a similar cup and a heavenly look on her face, "that good huh?"

Levy just nods taking another sip so I take a sip of mine and groan, "What is this!? It's amazing!"

Mika grins taking a seat at our little table, "it's from that mom and pop café you were originally going to sign at. I went to check on how things went yesterday and they were so happy they said they would send you free coffee for a year!"

I light up like a christmas tree, "oh I'm so glad it went well! They are such a sweet couple but they don't have to do that I'll happily pay to ship this stuff to Magnolia." I smile warmly thinking of their faces.

Mika smiles, "I swear it's like I can read your mind sometimes! I told them the company would pay for the shipping fees if you were interested. I know good coffee makes your world go round." She and levy at my caffeine "problem" knowing neither of them were any better.

"Thank you so much Mika, I'll definitely take you up on that! I'll stop in and put an order in before we leave."

"No need for thanks Lucy, you really hit it out of the park yesterday! Your sales are through the roof and your fan base has grown so much overnight. The company's ecstatic and hopes you'll think of writing another book!" Mika grins like a proud parent and she should since she fought so hard to get my first book published.

"Anyways the reason I'm here at the crack of dawn pestering you is I forgot to give you your tickets to Sansabay Water Park. It was just so crazy yesterday it completely slipped my mind. Plus this way if you ladies go after breakfast you might actually see the entire park!"

Levy and I gawk at her, "just how big is this place!" I mutter knowing Mira said it was unique but it just sounds HUGE.

"Oh! You haven't seen the Sorcerer Weekly issue on it? Here I think I still have it in my bag somewhere." Mika begins rummaging around what I thought was her suitcase!

"Here it is! Now that I've thanked you, brought caffeine, told you about the café owners, given you the tickets, and the magazine," she listed ticking off her fingers. "Alright ladies I've done what I needed to do so I'm off you both enjoy your day and have a blast at the park!" She smiled, gathered her things, hugged me good bye, and out the door she went.

"Well that was a whirl wind way to start the day," Levy says making me laugh and she joined right along with me. We start to get ready for the day deciding to take a look at the magazine at breakfast. We walk down seeing the biggest breakfast display I'd ever seen. And from the way levy gasped I'm guessing she felt the same.

An attendant smiled at our wide eyed gazes, "Our cooks go all out for the expo; we're actually booked up with authors, editors, and the like. I hope you ladies enjoy, I'll definitely let our cooks know your appreciation!"

Levy and I smile at the attendant, say our thank yous, and head in for the glorious buffet set up. As we sit down and start to dig in, "oh my Mavis this croissant is amazing!"

Levy nods in agreement mouth already full and unable to talk. I laugh at her chipmunk cheeks wishing I could draw like Reedus so I could show Gajeel. I smile and pull out the magazine, "ready?" She nods moving her chair closer together.

My eyes widen at the map taking up the first 2 pages of the article. There was a huge part of the park that was almost completely underground. The main entrance lead to a normal water park with tube rides, slides, and rapids. Then there was a tunnel called the Lazy Grotto which led to a series of underground pools. "It says here you just float down the river and there are different types of Grottos. There's a white sandy beach one with a smoothie bar, a waterfall one, an aquarium one, a hot spring one, and an adventure one. Huh it doesn't really explain the adventure one." I mutter reading through the article.

"Probably at the request of the park to keep the excitement," Levy smiles at my sullen tone. "I can't wait to see the northern light ceilings! They sound beautiful and what an interesting way to light up the whole river."

"No wonder Mira sounded excited about this place we'll have to tell her all about it when we get back! There's even another park at the other end with a river that sends you back. It looks like that one is more of a ride though no grottos." Once so full I could pop we head back to our room and grab our stuff for the park too excited to wait another moment.

On our way out of the hotel I think of the dream I had last night, "hey Levy did you have any more dreams?"

She shakes her head looking a little disappointed, "it's weird I kind of feel like I was stood up you know? I mean obviously it was a dream and I have no real reason to feel this way but I can't help it."

I nod, "I'm actually glad that I'm not the only one." We share a look and giggle at ourselves, knowing we were being silly. It was slow going to the park with all of the carriages and foot traffic. "You can definitely tell the expo is doing well."

When I receive no answer I look around for Levy finding her a few stalls a head of examining some book markers. I laugh knowing this would happen but then again this is what they were here for. I join her finding a marker for myself and we move on.

Eventually we make it to the park entrance thankful Mika woke us up so early. The entrance was amazing! Once inside, the entire park was in a glass solarium with a beautiful tropical paradise.

"How did we miss this from the outside?" I whisper looking around.

Levy giggles, "Might have been due to the smoothie stand." We share a laugh and hand the front desk our passes.

"Alright ladies have you been to our park before?"

"Nope!" we chirp.

"Ok so here's a map, it has a list of all of our rides in both Park A and Park B. It also has the all the locations of our restaurants and snack bars. This symbol here lists the locker rooms and bathrooms. That's everything ladies we hope you have fun!"

"Thank you!" we say waving our goodbye as we walk towards the first locker room on the map.

After change into our suits we head out into the park, "Anything catch your eye Lev?"

"Honestly I'm a little sore today between the train ride, researching, and not to mention Gajeel I wouldn't mind just hopping on a tube for the lazy grotto."

I sigh in relief, "I couldn't agree more!"

We walk around the park finding the line for the ride in question and simply wait our turn. Thankfully the lines were short and before we knew it, it was our turn. The attendant explained where each grotto was and there was lacramas placed throughout if they needed any help we simply needed to call out. There were also lifeguards placed at each entrance into a grotto if we needed any help getting into a specific one.

We smiled, thanked the attendant, hopped on our tubes, and off we went. Little did we know just what would find us.
