Chapter 3 – A Day in Coney Island
Comments from the author: Well, thanks for the reviews on my last two chapters. Here we go, read and enjoy. Personally, this has got to be one of my favorite chapters and longest.
After school that day, Jake and Rose decided to go somewhere together again. "So, want to go to Coney Island? I hear it's nice there." Rose asked. "Sure." Jake said. They both walked away.
Trixie and Spud were still left behind. "Hey, now Jakey's spending more time with Rose than us." Trixie said. "Ah Trixie. You can never interfere with true love." Spud said, patting her shoulder.
Trixie took Spud's arm out of her shoulder, disgusted. Jake and Rose were on the subway, on their way to Coney Island.
Jake and Rose were sitting together. "So what do you want to do there first?" Jake asked. "I don't know. What do you want to do?" Rose replied, asking. "Frankly, I'm not sure, either." Jake said.
Rose smiled. "We'll do the first ride that we see." She said. "Great idea." Jake said.He smiled as well.
Within minutes, the subway train stopped and the two headed outside. "Wow, I never thought that Coney Island was this amazing." Rose said, in awe. "I haven't been to Coney Island ever since Memorial Day." Jake said, seeming to remember what happened las time.
The two went to the ticket booth. As soon as they got their tickets, they both went inside excitedly. "Hey, what about we go to the Ferris Wheel first?" Rose suggested. "Sounds good to me." Jake replied with a grin.
Jake and Rose stood in line for the Coney Island Ferris Wheel. It was huge and it sparkled the afternoon sky. In no time, it was time for them to proceed. They both entered and then they both gazed outside the Ferris Wheel.
Rose scooted next to Jake cautiously. "Look, a Tilt-a-Whirl. Want to go there next?" She asked, pointing to the ride. Jake smiled and nodded. After that, the two were just next to each other, looking outside searching for which rides to go to next.
When the ride was over, they both hopped off the Ferris Wheel and headed for the Tilt-a-Whirl. The line wasn't long, either so they got on and they sat next to each other as usual.
When the ride started, they both held on. When Rose bumped into Jake while the ride was tilting andshe apologized, but Jake just smiled and said it was okay. The ride went on for a while.
Meanwhile at the Huntslair…
"This is a disgrace! Huntsgirl has fallen in love with the American Dragon!" The Huntsman said, disappointed. "We must devise a plan to get Rose to slay him." He said.
All of the members of the Huntsclan nodded.
Back in Coney Island…
The ride has just ended and the two hopped off. "Whoa, I'm dizzy." Jake said. "Same here." Rose replied. "So, you think you can handle the roller coaster next?" Rose said.
"Definitely." Jake replied. They walked for a couple of minutes and they finally reached the roller coaster. While in line, both of them watched the roller coaster zoom along the tracks. Jake gulped. 'I hope she's right about this.' He thought.
When the roller coaster got back, the people unloaded the ride and then the next group of people, including Jake and Rose, got on and put their seatbelts.
When everybody was secure, the ride started. Jake got nervous, but Rose held Jake's hand, feeling more scared. Jake smiled, knowing that he was not the only one that was afraid.
Both of them held hands as the roller coaster was on its way down to a drop. Everybody was screaming in enjoyment. Jake and Rose were no longer in fear, but were enjoying the ride as it went through a huge drop,upside-down loops, and itturned sharply as it went.
The roller coaster ended in a matter of minutes and everybody hopped off the ride as the next group got on.
Jake and Rose were anxious to go again, but knew that they should go on to many different rides as possible.
Next, the two headed for the bumper cars. There were a lot of people in line, but Jake and Rose managed to get on within ten minutes.
When it was their turn, Jake and Rose went on separate cars. The ride began and the two tried to bump each other. The two enjoyed the ride, bumping each other continuously.
The ride ended and the two got off. They surely enjoyed bumping each other. After that, they both decided to get something to eat. Both of them were in line at a food stand.
The line wasn't long, fortunately. When the two were next, they ordered their food. Jake insisted on paying. "Thanks." Rose said. "No problem." Jake said.
The two sat down on a table with a big umbrella above to shade them. The two ate their food and then sat on a bench.
"So, do you want to go to the carousel after this?" Rose asked. "As long as we can ride the roller coaster again after this." Jake replied. Rose nodded. She enjoyed the roller coaster as well.
They two then headed off to the carousel. Everyone was about to get on and the two managed to get there in time just before it was about to start.
Jake and Rose each chose a horse, which of course was next to each other. In a matter of minutes, the ride started and the two just looked around outside of the ride. They saw other rides pass by.
When the ride ended, both of them anxiously ran to the roller coaster, eager to get on again. They got there on time and then were secured and had their seatbelts on.
The roller coaster started and the two looked at each other, knowing that a big drop was coming their way. Jake and Rose held up the hands, holding it as they raised it.
No sooner did the roller coaster speed up and go through a huge drop, upside down loops, and sharp turns like the last time they got on.
When the ride had ended, they both hopped off. "That was so fun." Rose said. "Of course. Because I was with you." Jake said, smiling. Rose blushed and smiled. "There's time for one last ride." Rose said.
Jake nodded. They both got on again. When they got in line, the ride had already started, but they didn't have to wait really long.
After a few minutes, it was their turn. They hopped on, again with filled with eager.
When the ride started, they were doing the same as last time. They enjoyed like never before.
After it had stopped, they got off. They both looked at the sky. It was like a beautiful skyline as they sun was on it's journey down.
Jake and Rose sat on a bench; happily watching the sun set that night. It went down as it was like the most beautiful, amazing thing in the world.
When the sun had went down and it was getting dark, the two left Coney Island and got on the subway train. It didn't take long for the train to arrive that afternoon.
The two boarded the train along with other with a large group of people behind them. The two found two empty seats and sat down together.
"You know, I really enjoyed this day with you, Jake." Rose said. Jake blushed and smiled. "Thanks. I did too." He said, smiling. Both smiled at each other and were silent for a moment.
The subway train went to a stop in a matter minutes and they both went outside. It was a little dark outside.
"Well, thanks again for spending time with me." Rose said. "No problem, I loved spending time with you." Jake said, smiling. Suddenly, he realized something.
"Oh no! We spent the entire day in Coney Island and forgot all about homework!" Jake said, getting worried. "Me too!" Rose said. "So, what about you and I go to my house and finish our homework there?" Jake suggested.
"Sure. I'd love to." Rose said. "Are you sure your parents will let you?" She asked. "Of course. In fact, they might welcome you over for dinner." Jake replied.
Rose smiled. "I'm sure my uncle can wait for me later." She said. They both walked to Jake's house. They had really enjoyed this day.
