"A Day at the Park"

Summary: Harm, Mattie, and Mac spend the day at an amusement park.

Note: Woo-hoo! Two chapters in a row! This idea came from spending a week at Six Flags (even though I was there as a volunteer for a Christian concert series, and I avoid the big rides unless dragged on them).

Disclaimer: Harm, Mac, etc. are not mine, so don't sue me because I have an imagination and too much free time.

"Are you okay?" Mac asked as Harm sat down next to her after riding the tallest roller coaster in the park... for the fourth time in a row. Mattie had to use the bathroom, giving him a chance to recover from all of the rides they'd ridden so far that day.

"I'll be fine," he replied unconvincingly, "I just need to rest my back for a second."

"You've been on every roller coaster in the park. Mattie can go on a few without you."

"That would be admitting defeat."

"To what?"

"Mattie and I have a bet to see who gets sick first," he sheepishly admitted.

"That's why you insisted on dragging me along today," she said condescendingly. "I suppose I'm driving home because you knew you'd be in no condition to do so after a day of torturing yourself?"

"You don't mind?"

"Not since you're paying for all the junk food I can eat."
