Chapter three is up!
Alex: I'm feeling so special.
You better be. I'm surprised I've even gotten this far on this story!
Alex: When will you stick with a muse?
Never. Well, maybe I'll find the right one, but for now, you are it!
Alex: Oh goodie.
I heard that.

Chapter 3–Lagoon, the Amusement Park

Alex jumped up from his sleeping position, the alarm clock ringing in his ears. He scrambled for it, and began pushing random buttons. Finally, it stopped, leaving Alex's ears ringing. He reached up for the lamp, and turned the switch. Dots appeared in his eyes as it blinded him. Moaning, he rolled off the bed, and landed in a heap below it. Rubbing the new bruise on his elbow, he got up, hitting his head on the shelf above him.

"This is totally not my day," he groaned, massaging the top of his head with his other hand. What he needed now was to forget what he had gained in the last twenty hours.

Suddenly, to his surprise, the door bell rang. Curious, Alex walked out into the hall and towards it. Opening the door, he saw Isaac, Garet, Felix, and Jenna.

"What are–" Alex began to ask.

"Come on Alex!" Jenna jumped, "It's Lagoon day!! Get ready!"

"Lagoon day?" Alex asked. "What's that?"

"It's when all the seniors go to Lagoon." Garet replied rolling his eyes. "Hurry up! We don't have all day."

Alex looked at them, his face blank.

~a while later~

"So, what's Lagoon?" Alex was finally able to ask once they were on the bus.

"It's an amusement park," Jenna replied, holding his hand. "Don't worry, you don't need brains worth anything there. It has rides, and games, roller coasters, swings, lots a stuff . . ." she began muttering to herself as the bus lurched. They were on back seats with Ivan, Sheba, Mia, and Picard (just pretend he's seventeen! I don't care what you think, Picard is my favorite character, so, he's going to be in this fic! Peirs=Picard), were jabbering about the day ahead.

The bus ride was fast for everyone, all excited for the day. Alex, who still didn't understand, looked out the bus window watching trees fly past. He wished he could remember something, anything. He wished he could understand his friends happiness, and their knowledge.

"Don't worry Alex," someone tapped him. Sheba was turned in her seat looking back at him. "It will come back."

He sighed as a reply. "I wish I could be sure . . ." Sheba gave a weak smile, when Alex expected a slap in the face, Sheba patted him on the head.

"Don't worry."

~in Lagoon~

Every one stood in awe at the towering roller coaster. Jenna squealed with excitement, and began pulling everyone towards the line. Alex didn't like the looks of it, his stomach churned.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Alex asked.

"We're aren't going on that one," Garet saw Alex's white face, and pointed to the roller coaster. "We're going on the one over there," he pointed to a shallower ride. Behind Alex's back, he winked to everyone.

"Yeah," Isaac smiled mischievously, "we're saving this one till last." Everyone nodded vigorously.

"Oh, okay." And he got in line with them, not knowing what he was getting himself into.

The line moved slowly, but Alex didn't seem to notice. He was to busy taking everything in, to busy to notice that the ride everyone else had said they were going on, was in the opposite direction.

"Alex!" Jenna yelled, sitting in the front car of the roller coaster. "Come sit here!"

He quickly jumped into the seat, and Jenna pulled his lap bar down before he could notice anything wrong.

"What's this for?" Alex asked looking around. "Hey! I thought we were going on that ride over there!" The car lurched forward and the Mercury Adept's eyes got wide. "Oh please don't tell me–"

"Yay!" Jenna squeaked, grabbing tight to the handles in front of her as they headed upwards. Alex looked back to see Garet and Mia behind them.

"Hiyo Alex," Mia smiled evilly, "get ready to be turned into pancakes!"

Alex didn't exactly understand what it meant, but knew it meant something bad.

"Please let me die!" Alex moaned as the car came up to the top of the hill. Below were little dots, he could only guess they were people below. The car slowed, and they hung part way down the sloped tracks. "Let me die!"

Jenna, who was next to him squealed with delight, "YAY!!!" Her hands were above her head, ready for the drop.

"How can you do–," Alex started to ask frightened, but stopped as the car quickly rolled down. He felt himself only being held by the loose lap bar. "GAAAH!!! LET ME DIE, LET ME DIE, LET ME DIE, LET ME DIE, LET ME DIE–."

He was now being forced into his seat as his stomach turned. Alex's hands were white from holding so tight to the bar in front of him. Jenna was now screaming high pitched, that made his ears throb. He couldn't decide which to do: hold the bar in front of him, his mouth, or plug his ears.
