It was days after the mission for the Whetstone from the pirate ship they had found, they were going to rest some. They were on the boardwalk of Beach City to have a nice relaxing break from the influx of missions. It was a nice cool day even though it was summer time. They had been walking around aimlessly; it was more sight seeing than anything.
"What should we all do today?" Steven asked.
Everyone broke out into small talk amongst themselves trying to figure out what they wanted to do. Everyone was into doing different things but they could find some things in common. Steven waited for everyone to calm down and it got quiet when they saw he had a big smile on his face. Lapis took his hand, staring at him.
"Well, what would you like to do Steven?" Lapis asked.
"What did you have in mind?" Blue Pearl asked softly.
"I know exactly where we can go and all of us can have fun."
He pointed and everyone turned around seeing he was pointing in the direction of Funland. Every one of the gems stared at Funland for a few seconds before nodding and smiling at Steven.
"Funland sounds like a great idea."
"If there's food, we're in."
"I never been there before, but it sounds like it'll be interesting."
"Excellent choice Steven."
Everyone headed for the entrance gate of Funland, talking with excitement. They saw a few people that lived in Beach City but most of them looked like tourists. Mr. Smiley seemed really busy but he looked like he didn't mind. They looked at everything as they passed by it not wanting to miss a single thing.
After seeing everything Funland had to offer, they all decided on what they wanted to do and started splitting off. Yellow Pearl, Pearl and Onyx decided for the Tea Cup ride. Jewel and Peridot were going to play some games together. Soren, Amethyst and Pink Pearl had decided on checking out what food there was and to get some for themselves and everyone else.
Garnet and White Pearl decided to tag along with Peridot and Jewel to try out some of the games and rides. Everyone headed towards their intended activity. Onyx helped his wife and his girlfriend into one of the teacups then Mr. Smiley started the ride for them.
Jewel and Peridot started playing a game together and the first game they try is the ball toss. They wanted to try and get the biggest prize they could. After winning an alien and a fish they headed over to the game called "Test Your Strength". After Peridot and Jewel took a turn, Garnet gave it a shot then White Pearl.
After winning a few prizes more, they made it to the Duck Hunt. Peridot ended up being the best at it and got the biggest prize.
Soren, Amethyst, Pink Pearl were sitting at a umbrella table keeping them in the shade. They began to eat some of the things they've gotten such as a few corn dogs, fries, pizza, along with a soft soda drink for them each. While they were eating, they enjoyed their time together trying out the snacks they had gotten.
"How do you like your food?" Soren asked before he started eating some pizza.
"Very good," Pink Pearl said with a smile holding a half eaten corn dog.
Amethyst gave him a thumbs up making his chuckle while she held the cup of fries in the other hand.
"After we finish, should we go ahead and get everyone else something too?" Pink Pearl asked.
"I think that's a good idea," he said giving Pink Pearl a smile.
"Let's finish ours first so that way we can carry their stuff without too much trouble," Amethyst suggested.
A little later, Lapis, Steven and Blue Pearl joined with Garnet and White Pearl. White Pearl had never been to Funland or on a ride before so she stared at everything soaking it all in. The five of them arrived to a ride they hadn't been on yet called the Crazy Mouse. Steven went on to explain it was like a roller coaster ride but more kid friendly than scary.
"You think we can ride this one Steven?" Lapis asked.
White Pearl looked at all the colorful looking mice trying to figure out the whole ride thing since she was unfamiliar with it. They waited in line until the ride finished for the people and they got on next. They picked out the orange mouse to ride. Once the bars were all down, it started to move.
At first it started to move really slow then it surprised White Pearl when it started to pick up some speed. She smiled looking at Garnet who was enjoying the ride herself. Once the ride was finished, they got off and headed towards the next one called Flying Saucer. White Pearl couldn't help but think it looked slightly similar to some Homeworld ships she had seen.
They climbed inside with some of the people and tourists of Beach City, placing themselves against the walls of the ride. The ride gave White Pearl a strange sensation throughout her body but it wasn't unpleasant and she enjoyed her ride. Once the ride was finished, they got off and went to regroup with everyone else.
Everyone met up at the tables with Amethyst, Soren and Pink Pearl arriving last with snacks, food and drinks in their arms. They started handing everything out then sat down to talk about the fun they had at Funland. Once everyone finished their food and drinks, they headed back home to the beach house to enjoy the rest of their day and night before bed.
