Chapter Ten: Theme Park

Note: Hey Everyone! I'm putting up Chapter Ten! Hehe. Anyways, the theme park may be one of their last adventures I don't know yet. Unless people want them to go to Hoover Dam and see other sights Las Vegas has to offer. (ah…. Hoover Dam, I think Duo had some serious thoughts about pushing Treize off of there…) Also I had some other plans but this is becoming a really long story, and I don't know how much longer people can bear with me. So, please Read and Review and tell me how you feel.

"Come on! Come on!" Duo shouted dragging the six other people with him towards the theme park entrance.

"These places usually cost money," Quatre sighed, "money that we don't have." Duo sulked slightly, but still dragged the others along. There was a red line drawn across the ground at the foot of the paying booths. As Duo walked across streamers launched into the air and confetti showered upon him like a monsoon. Duo stood there dumbstruck until a lady walked up to him and shook his hand.

"Congratulations young man," she smiled warmly, "You are the billionth person to cross this line, as so you and your group will be given free tickets and a two nights stay at the MGM Grande. What do you have to say?"

"What about food?" Duo asked.

The lady answered, "Um… Food… I suppose we could provide that too, anything else you have to say?"

"It's ABOUT time something went right," Duo plainly said. The woman handed Duo keys to two rooms for the group and tickets to the theme park. The others just stared at Duo who was smiling proudly. "Well, are you guys coming?" he asked casually walking through the entrance and handing the man their seven tickets.

"Sure, why not?" Quatre answered cheerfully. Wufei merely jabbed Quatre in the ribs. "What's wrong Wufei, are you scared?" Quatre asked, it was quite unQuatre-like, but obviously Quatre was tired of Wufei.

"Theme parks are for weaklings!" Wufei exclaimed.

"Come on Wufei," Trowa protested, "we aren't in the middle of a war anymore, so we can actually enjoy ourselves."

"We should get rid of them two and then there will be no more wars!" Wufei pointed accusingly at Treize and Zechs.

"We can't Wufei," Heero finally spoke up, "we've already gone into a truce, and besides we may need them to get out of here." Hearing those words from Heero, who you would have expected to agree with Wufei caused all the arguments to cease. Eventually, every one of them entered the theme park and began to look around.

"Let's go there!" Duo shouted pointing at an absolutely colossal roller coaster.

"He must be out of his mind," Treize said.

"Come on Treize," Zechs sighed, "we've been playing with death all our lives in those mobile suits." Duo managed to drag everyone into the winding line of the roller coaster. The cacophony of screams from the riders caused some discomfort in the pits of some of the pilot's stomachs. Slowly but surely, they moved closer to the ride.

"This actually looks like it could be fun," Trowa commented, which was rather odd since he usually kept quiet unless absolutely necessary.

"Now that's the spirit!" Duo chimed in. One of the little boys in front of them turned back and stared wide eyed.

"You've got a braid!" he shouted.

Duo looked rather confused, "Of course I've got a braid."

"Just like my favorite character off of my favorite show!" the young child exclaimed. A slight sweat drop formed on Duo's temple.

"Come along now," a woman who looked like his mother said, "I'm sorry boys, he has the obsession with this show and obviously you looked like one of the characters."

"Um…. Ok.." Duo answered hesitantly since it had been the second time such an occurrence had happened. Finally, their patience paid off, it was their turn to ride the roller coaster. Heero, Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei sat in one car, while Treize, Zechs, and Duo sat in another. "They make me sit with the enemy," Duo mumbled, "gee, don't I feel so loved."

Zechs slightly snickered, "Well, life has never been fair."

Duo's eyes enlarged, "You could hear me? Well, no offense, but you ARE our enemy."

"I have an acute sense of hearing," Zechs smiled, "and there's no offense taken because it is true." Just as he spoke, the roller coaster boosted forward. First, it started going uphill, higher and higher till it seemed they would touch the clouds. Instead of freefalling down as they had expected, it moved forward steadily and gently like a children's ride.

"What's this?" Wufei interrogated, "I thought this was supposed to be daring and dangerous. What injustice, making people pay for such a …." As he was about to finish his sentence the roller coaster fell sharply towards the ground. Wufei started to scream in shock.

"What were you saying Wufei?" Duo asked a breathless Wufei as they started to go back up hill again. Wufei was panting and could not reply. Duo grinned in satisfaction. This time the roller coaster zoomed through two consecutive loops and then went back up again. The next drop was sharp and the roller coaster only gained speed.

"Will somebody STOP this thing?!?!" Treize seemed rather blue in the face and not enjoying himself too much.

"Ah, Treize, come on, this is actually fun," Zechs tried to contain his laughter.

Duo turned and looked at Zechs, "Why do I have a feeling that we're the only ones actually enjoying this?" The ride came to a stop, which relieved many of them.

"I may have fought in Nataku," Wufei grumbled, "but that was far worse!"

"Weakling," Duo commented quickly running away knowing that Wufei would soon chase him.

"How DARE you!" Wufei shouted sprinting after Duo, "you're the weakling because you are too afraid to stand up to me!"

"Come on and get me Wu-boy!" Duo screamed trying to annoy Wufei some more. In a few minutes both of them had run too far away from sight.

"Great," Trowa sighed, "We've lost them."

"Who knows what kind of trouble they'll get into," Heero smirked, "we better find them!"
