Panda Bear-You're back! Welcome back to the land of the living. Glad your play went well. I'm sure you were the best, right? How could you have not tried gelato before this week?! Oh well, at least you've tried it. Was it good? Personally I like it better than ice cream (unless ice cream is chocolate and had peanut butter in it.) By the way, sorry the last chapter wasn't exactly what you asked for. I'm glad you still thought it was cute. I'm still waiting for inspiration for that chapter. (Please share any ideas. I'll be glad to use them and give you full credit.)

So this idea just popped into my head. I own nothing but Carey and Laura. This chapter is set in like, 1902 or something. Around then anyway. So please read and review. And if you've never had gelato, go get some and then come read and review and enjoy the awesomeness that is this story.

Crutchy woke up one Saturday in early July in a very good mood. He had been carefully saving his money so he could take his girlfriend Carey on a date to Luna Park on Coney Island. Crutchy smiled as he climbed out of bed and hobbled to the bathroom. Blink threw an arm around his friend's shoulder as he walked up.
"Crutchy, wat's da plan for today?"
"Takin my goirl ta Luna Park, 'member?"
Blink nodded as he slipped out the door. Crutchy smiled to himself as he finished getting ready. He carefully pocketed his hard earned money and left.

"Do I look okay?" Carey asked as she twirled in front of her friend Laura Martin. Laura smiled at her friend and nodded. "Does my dress look okay?"
"You look as pretty as you always do," Laura signed. "Stop worrying. You're going to Luna Park."
Carey blew her strawberry blond bangs out of her face. "You're right. I wouldn't want to spoil my best dress. Okay, I'm off to meet Crutchy."

"Have Ise told ya how pretty youse look today?" Crutchy asked. The young couple was standing at the front of the ferry to Coney Island, leaning over the rails and holding hands.
"Not since we got on the ferry," Carey giggled.
"Well youse are pretty. Da prettiest goirl in da world! I'm a lucky man."
Carey laughed as her boyfriend thrust a hand in the air. She leaned against the rail and stared at him. "I must be dating a mad man."
Crutchy leaned his crutch against the rail and leaned towards Carey. "Mad man? No, just madly in love." He leaned in to kiss her gently on the lips. They broke apart only when a little boy made a disgusted sound.

"That was fun," Carey yawned, stretching her arms in the air. The pair had gone on all the rides and eaten their share of carnival food and then some. They had spent a fair amount of time running around the park chasing each other and playing games until the park closed.
"Yeah," agreed Crutchy, leading Carey towards a private spot on the ferry. He let out an even bigger yawn, covering it with his hand. Carey lay her head on his shoulder and Crutchy rested his head on top of hers. Together they watched the setting sun as they headed back to the mainland.
"Crutchy," Carey mumbled as they reached the dock.
"Hmmm?"
"Today was the second best day of my life."
"Second best?"
"The first was meeting you."
"Carey?"
"Hmmm?"
"I love you."
"I love you too."

I forgot the translations in the last chapter. I think it's just ti amo, which means I love you in Spanish and Italian.
