Author's Note: Hey, I tried get these up pretty fast. But school and work are tying me down. So please bear with me. Anyway, chapter 12 is here. What will happen? Read and Find out.
Chapter 12- For Your Amusement
Carlos pushed the up button on the elevator panel taking them to their floor. Rebecca and Sherry were with him. Sherry was wrapped in a towel and Rebecca was standing next to Carlos patiently. After the door open, the three of them stepped out. Sherry started up a conversation as they walked down the hall.
" Hey, you two. Do you want to go the amusement park with me and Claire tonight? We're gonna see if the others want to come too?"
Carlos looked at Becca. She had a giant grin plastered on her face. Carlos knew then and there he'd have to take her.
" Alright. We'll go. Me and Rebecca are going to get ready." Carlos replied before Rebecca even said anything. She could feel Carlos tugging her into their room. As she was being dragged, Rebecca called out to Sherry.
" Uh, come by and get us okay?' Sherry nodded just as the door shut in her face. She shook her head.
" Those two, I tell you." With that, she headed over to her room across the hall.
Upon open the door, Sherry walked in to see the room completely dark except from the dying sunset outside. She called out.
" Leon, Claire, you guys here?" As if on cue there was a bump that seemed to come from the floor and a shout.
" Damn it not again!" Sherry easily recognized as Leon's voice. It was then followed by Claire's soft laughter. Sherry cocked her head to the side as she flipped the lights. Only to reveal Leon and Claire entangled on the floor and the covers on the bed a mess. She assumed that they had fell off of the bed.
" I'm not even gonna ask what you two were up to this time?" Sherry stated while getting some dry clothes to change into. Claire stood up and helped Leon up.
" We still going the amusement park Sherry?" She asked. Leon turned to Claire.
" The amusement park? Who, When?" Leon stuttered out as he rubbed the back of his head. Claire answered him back.
" Yes, the amusement park. All of us are going. It's 7: 16 now, we'll leave at 8:00. Any more questions?" Leon let off a dumb smile.
" Uh, yeah, do Chris and Jill know? They told me to tell them if we decide to do something. I think I'll go down there and tell em."
Claire thought about it and agreed. " All right, go ahead and tell em. Sherry and I will be getting dressed in the meantime."
Leon leaned in to give Claire a peck on the cheek and then left out the door. Sherry had just stepped out of the bathroom.
" You didn't tell Leon about Adam did you Claire?" She had a worried look on her face. Claire smiled in amusement.
" No, why?" She let out a sigh of relief. " Good, cause if you did, he might try to get all big brothery on me and scare him away." Claire laughed lightly.
" Yeah, I know what you mean. Don't worry about Leon though. I'll keep him occupied."
" Thanks Claire." Sherry then let Claire in the bathroom so she could get dressed herself.
Jill awoke to the sound of a knocking , no, a bamming on her and Chris' room door. Grumpily she slid out from Chris' arm and made her way to the door.
" Who is it?!" She yelled sleepily and irritably. Leon chuckled on the other side.
" It's me, Jill, Leon." Jill threw a look at Chris who had just started to wake up and was looking around confused.
" What the hell do you want Leon?' Jill asked tired of Leon's games. Leon just let his smile continue to radiate causing Jill to be confused.
" Sherry and Claire want all of us to be at the amusement park around eight, I just came to tell you and the big square headed man known as her brother. Rebecca and Carlos are coming too, I think." Jill nodded and let Leon inside.
Chris looked up to see Jill and Leon coming to him. He slowly rose up from the bed slap hands with Leon.
" Yeah, man what's up?' Chris asked. Jill stepped up to him.
" Leon said Claire and Sherry want all of us at the amusement park at eight, which means we only have 32 minutes to get ready. So get up go get dressed." Chris groaned back at her.
" Ah, do we have to? Can't I just sleep?' Chris pleaded. Jill put an hand on her hip and gave him the look. The look used by all pissed off women everywhere. He had seen it too many times. And the fact that she had an audience (Leon) made it even worse. Chris reconsidered what he had said.
" On second thought, I'll go and get dressed." He then picked out some fresh clothes and went into the bathroom.
Leon was leaning in the doorway laughing his ass off. Jill turned to him with the same look and he stopped instantly.
" Uh, Yeah, I'm going to go back to my room now." Leon said lamely. Jill nodded as if she was telling him that's right.
" We'll be out in a minute all right. Don't leave without us." Jill said as she closed the door. Leon shouted a loud OKAY as he walked down the hallway back to his room.
" It's 8:00, time to go get the others." Claire said as she undid her ponytail and let it down. She was getting used to having it down and it was something different. She was beginning to like it.
Leon grabbed his wallet and went to open the door. Sherry turned off the t.v and checked herself one more time before walking out the door. Claire put on the necklace Leon had given her and went out the door waiting for Leon to lock it. After he did that, they went by to pick up Chris and Jill.
Jill had just stepped outside the door when she noticed the necklace on Claire's neck.
" Oh my God. Leon brought that for you Claire?" Jill asked as she studied the sapphire jewel. Claire just looked at Leon, who was talking to Chris and smiled.
' Yeah, it's beautiful isn't it?" Jill nodded her head in agreement. " It is. Chris said the guys have got something planned for all of us in a few days." Claire looked at the guys talking before turning back to Jill.
" Really? Like what.? Claire asked intrigued. The idea that Leon, Carlos, and Chris had a surprise for them all made Claire anxious to find out.
" Jill shrugged her shoulders. " I don't know. We'll have to wait and find out." Chris and Leon had just stepped out the door and Chris had locked it.
" Where's Sherry?" Chris asked when he turned around to see only 3 people instead of 4.
" She went to get Becca and Carlos" Leon answered for him.
Chris checked his wallet and was ready. " Okay, let's go."
After finding Sherry, Becca, and Carlos downstairs in the lobby, the gang took the shuttle over to the amusement park. They came up to the gates and purchased their tickets.
" Let's all meet back up here at 12:00, okay?" Chris suggested before popping in a stick of chewing gum.
Sherry could barely contain her excitement when she saw Adam waiting for her over by the gate. Without hesitation she began to walk away.
" Okay, Chris. Later you guys!" Sherry yelled back as she walked away. This action left all of the men confused. Leon spoke to Claire.
" What's her hurry? Leon noticed Claire give him a mysterious smile. He couldn't figure it out until he turned to see Sherry walking hand in hand with some boy. He looked about her age. Leon could feel some kind of protective feeling blaring up inside him. Now he knows how Chris must have felt when he first met him. Claire saw how intensely Leon was looking at Adam.
" Leon come on now. She's 16 years old going on 17, she's going to be all right. Besides I promised Sherry I'd keep you in check." Leon turned to flash her a smile before wrapping an arm around her.
" Yeah, I know. It's just I still like to think of her as the 12 year old she once was. But let's go ahead and ride. Chris, you and Jill coming?"
Chris and Jill nodded. " Yeah, we're coming. What about you two?" He gestured to Rebecca and Carlos. They nodded back.
Carlos stretched before wrapping an arm around Becca. " Hey man, let's stop talking and ride." Rebecca giggled at Carlos. He sounded like one of those California surfers. With that they left to go on the first ride.
" The Polar Express! Oh Yeah!' Leon shouted as he sighted it. Chris nodded his head in agreement, Carlos just grinned. Rebecca and Claire were also excited. Jill walked holding on to Chris' arms and cheered with them reluctantly.
" Hooray."
After waiting in line for a good ten minutes, they finally were allowed to get on. There was room for three people for each compartment but they decided they would ride as couples. Leon and Claire got into one, Carlos and Rebecca got into the one behind them. Chris and Jill took the one behind them.
Chris yelled over to Leon and Carlos in the seats in front of him and gave them a thumbs up. He was ready to ride. Jill, on the other hand had a scared look on her face. It looked like she was afraid that zombies would pop out at anytime. As the man in the booth tried to get the ride going with some ear-drum damaging music Chris look over to Jill.
" What's wrong Jill? I know you're not scared of this little ride are you?" Jill just scooted as close as she could to him. Even though that was pretty hard considering that they were practically joined together anyway.
" I hate fast rides. Roller coasters and all. This included. I just don't like them." Chris just nodded knowingly.
" Don't worry about it so much. Just hang on to me. And try not to pull my arm off." Jill laughed and Chris smiled. He managed to cheer her up after all.
The Ride started to move. Instead of the Himilaya which moves forward, the Polar Express moves backwards. The ride slowly went back until the sirens started blaring. Then faster and faster until it was everything was a blur to passengers on it. Jill being lighter was on the inside. She was trying to hold on for dear life onto the bar but she slid straight into Chris. Jill's extra weight shifted onto his right side. He tried to turn his head to see her expression but the ride was moving so fast it gave him whiplash. He didn't have to look anyway because like everyone else on the ride Jill was screaming. But it wasn't a scream of fright. It was one of excitement. The sirens blared again signaling the end of the ride and it slowly began to slow down. Chris worked out the crick in his neck to lay his eyes on Jill. She had a look of total amazement on her face. She turned to Chris.
" That was. One of the best rides I've ever been on. I wanted to go faster." She straightened her hair back. The speed had messed it all up.
" See, what did I tell you. I wasn't as bad as you thought was it?" Chris told her as he helped her out of the seat. They walked through the exit and met up with the others.
Rebecca literally stumbled off of the stairs. She was still dizzy from going so fast and Carlos' on-going chatter wasn't helping.
" Man, that was awesome! We need to find another ride like that." Carlos was just blabbering on. Rebecca slapped him on the arm.
" Carlos, shut up and help me." Carlos stopped talking and helped Rebecca walk straight. Leon clapped his hands together.
" Um, how about bumper cars?" At that point, everyone looked at him and grinned. Leon could feel a grin creeping up his face too. Claire answered for the group by placing a bet between the six of them.
' Okay, whoever gets the most hits gets 20 dollars from all of us."
Chris held out his hand to his sister. " You're on."
The Bumper Car scene was a dangerous one. Carlos kept crashing into Rebecca just to piss her off. That in turn forced Becca to drive Carlos into a corner away from the other cars and start crashing into him repeatedly. They had completely forgotten about the bet. Leon, Claire, Chris, and Jill were at it themselves. Claire and Jill doubled teamed Leon until he began to get trapped. Soon he was being attacked by other cars. A stray car also knocked Jill into the fray. At last it was only the two Redfields left. Chris continued to circle around Claire until he was behind her. Chris was ahead in bumps by 3. He was about to get another one until a car knocked him off course sending him towards Becca and Carlos. Those two were still going head to head. Claire then came and bumped all three of them. Jill and Leon had entangled themselves from the mess they were in and made their way over and bumped Claire. Soon they were all crowded up in a corner. The session was over.
" Pay up people." Claire said triumphantly as she held her hand out. The others just groaned and reluctantly paid her. Leon just smirked because he thought he was off the hook.
" Nuh Uh. You gotta pay up too, Leon." Leon's mouth dropped.
" What?! I helped you. Jill did too." Claire smiled sweetly at his boyish antics.
" Tough luck sweetie, now please pay up." Leon groaned along with rest and paid her.
After stopping to get some food and going on some other thrill rides everyone could feel the night taking a toll on them. Sherry had run into them about three times. She and Adam were having a blast. Finally after a few more rides and arguments and bets, they all decided to ride one more thing before it was time to go. Sherry and Adam had chosen to stay with them. They all agreed to get on the Ferris Wheel. Leon and Claire paired up, Chris and Jill did, Rebecca and Carlos, and lastly Sherry and Adam.
" So these the ones who resisted against Umbrella? I bet you're glad it's over." Adam attempted to start up conversation. Sherry nodded.
" Yeah, it's been about two years now. It's been a whole lot more peaceful, I'll tell you that." Sherry smiled at him. She just loved how nervous he got when he met Leon. It showed her that he must really like her. But him and Leon got along great. She also knew that her time with him was almost up.
" Adam, I'm going back to the states in a couple of days and I just wanted to know if I could keep in touch with you. You know, call, write letters, or something." Sherry cursed at herself for talking so fast. Adam just smiled back.
" Oh yeah. I was actually thinking of a way to tell you I like you." He laughed nervously. Sherry did also. "Yeah, me too." Then a thought rushed into her head.
' Hey we could visit each other sometimes. You could always visit me when I stay with Claire." Sherry suggested. Adam agreed. From there the two continued to talk about how they would spent time together. Adam gathered up some courage and put an arm around her and they kissed softly. Leon and Claire noticed this from behind and started whooping.
" All right! Go Sherry! Better take care of her Adam!" Leon yelled. Claire put a hand over his mouth to silence him. Leon pouted and slumped.
" Hey, can't I have some fun?" He asked mockingly. Claire grinned.
" I would have figured you had all the fun you wanted last night." This made Leon chuckle and then burst into full laughter.
After the ride ended, the gang finally made their way back to the hotel to retire. Carlos and Rebecca were exhausted and both of them waved sleepy good byes and plopped out on the bed. Chris ended up carrying Jill to their room and he put her to bed. Claire, Leon, and Sherry eventually made it to their room too. They each took turns washing up and changing into their night clothes.
" Night you guys." Sherry said sleepily as she pulled the covers over her and turn of the light. Leon and Claire told her good night. Claire removed the necklace and set it back on her dresser. She was about to turn off the light when she noticed Leon was still up.
" Leon, what are you doing?" Leon was standing up over the t.v trying to hook up his newly won Playstation 2. He was in pajamas and everything. Claire couldn't help but smile at him.
" About to play Deadly Alliance. You want to play? I bought an extra controller." He was fascinated by the 30 different games he received with his system and didn't bother to turn his head. Claire figured that he had to play the game she might as well kick his ass in it before she went to sleep.
" Yeah, hand it over. I could kick your ass in this without breaking a sweat." Claire stated.
Leon turned with a new shade of blue in his eyes. It was lit by the flames of a challenge. In a video game. He loved Claire with all his heart but he wouldn't go easy on her at all. This was war. And besides, she took his 20 dollars.
Leon happily accepted. " Okay, enough talk, let's do this.'
And from the time the Playstation 2 was activated, the war for digital dominance was officially on. And this was one war, that contradicted the saying ' All is fair in love and war'.
After beating the living hell out of each other. Our favorite couple snuggled up into the bed and fell into a deep slumber. Leon dreamt of Claire as Kitana beating the hell out him as Scorpion. Claire dreamt of other more serene things. All in all, this had been a long day for them all and this deep sleep was well welcomed by all.
