Hello all, sorry it took me so long to get back to you, writer's block is a bitch. And boy did I have a case of it. I sincerely apologize, it's been way too long, but I was struck with this idea while sitting around waiting for my math class to end. As the bell was ringing I thought "Aha! That's it!" and now we have this. So it's finally here! Oh, and on a funny side note, when typing Weasley into my Microsoft Word I got spell check, and one of the suggestions was Weasel. Rowling wasn't too far off on that one, I guess. Oh, and also, if some of the lines are solid and some dashes it's because my Word is being stupid, and only letting me make them solid sometimes. Oh, and extra thanks to my beta, Crimsonphoenix1.

Review responses:

Pantstheterrible: Yeah, she's touchy, but she was emotional and worried, and that famous Weasley temper snuck up on her real quick, I think. That's why I wrote it that way. Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

Crimsonphoenix1: I'm glad you liked it. Here's the long awaited update, finally. Thank you sooo sooo much for betaing too!

Silverlocke980: The intro chapter seems a little rushed because I had planned for a bit of a dramatic opening. This chapter is something to kind of show their connection, how much they love each other and whatnot. That's why this took me so long. I had a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to make this chapter at least a little interesting. The meat happens in chapter 3, which is written, so it won't take as long. Thank you so much. I appreciate your review, and I'm glad you think the characters fit. Ginny maybe not so much in this chapter, Harry maybe not too, but I'm going to explain that later. Thank you.

Pyrogrl1342: Hi. I know they like long stories, but first I have to think of something that will actually last a long time, unlike this. This couldn't work as a long story. Actually… it could… but that depends on reviews and stuff, but you'll find out more about that after the third chapter. So yeah, have fun reading my stuff!

Disclaimer: People, I promise, I'm not benefiting from this story at all, except for your lovely reviews and a feeling of satisfaction. Leave me alone with the stupid disclaimers. I wouldn't want to be Rowling anyways, way too many people hate her after the fifth book. Oh, and I don't own Great America or any of the rides, but it would be totally cool if I did. Free rides for everyone!

Long winded, yes, but now, onto the story!

The Good Times

A couple months later:

On a boring day at the Burrow, (a rare occasion, I know) Harry and Ginny were sitting around, cuddling and whatnot, when Ginny was struck with an idea.

"A Muggle amusement park!" she cried.

"Huh?" asked Harry, more than a little confused by her outburst.

"That's what we should do today; go to a Muggle amusement park. I mean, we both have the day off, and there's not much to do today, so let's go to the Muggle amusement park."

"Okay," Harry readily agreed, wanting to do something fun with Ginny, "but let's drop by Gringotts first to get some Muggle money."

"Sounds great, but let's think of where to go first…" Ginny said pensively. "Hmm… all the best amusement parks are in America. There's this place in California called Great America. Corny name, but I heard it's great. Let's go there!" She burst out the last sentence, as if she'd had an epiphany.

"All right! All right! I surrender," Harry said jokingly, chuckling under his breath. "Calm down! We'll go to Great America! Let me Apparate to Gringotts to get some American Muggle money. I'll be back in a second."

After Harry returned with 500 in American Muggle money, Ginny was practically jumping up and down, ready to be in California.

"Let's go, let's go! I'm ready!" she cried excitedly. All Harry could do was stare at her though. She was feeling showy that day, and had put on a tight outfit that accentuated all of her lovely curves. She would fit in perfect with Muggles, too. She looked amazing! He couldn't stop staring as her low cut top was drawing his eyes…

"Hello?" Ginny inquired, looking at him. "Harry? You in there?"

"Yeah," he mumbled, still staring.

"Harry, my face is up here," she waved her hand around her face and giggled. "I take it you like my outfit?" she giggled again.

Her comments snapped Harry out of his daze, his cheeks changing to a red that could rival even a Weasley. "Okay, let's go. Sorry about that."

And on that note, two small pops could be heard as Harry and Ginny Apparated off to a day of fun.

Harry was rather annoyed. The prices for the tickets were outrageous. He busted almost 200 just on the admission. It was 82 for one ticket! This was totally outrageous! 'Oh well, anything for Ginny,' he thought.

Ginny ran into the park, amazed by the sight of the interesting gardening those silly Muggles probably spent months designing and growing, the huge water fountain, and the massive double-decker carousel behind it.

"Oh, Harry, let's go on that one first!" she cried, pointing to the massive carousel. As they approached the other side, where the entrance was, she spotted the swing ride and Triple Play. "Ooh, there's so many to choose from! Let's do this one then get a map and go on all the rides!"

"Alright, sounds great," Harry said, encouraged by her immense enthusiasm. This was one of the reasons he loved her so much.

After the carousel they got on the swing ride, Ginny laughing at all the fun she was having on the silly contraption. Then they went on Triple Play twice, mostly because Ginny loved the feeling of falling every time the ride crested. It made Harry laugh as she whooped at the feeling, smiling and laughing. God, he loved her so much. Just seeing her so happy made the feeling build up in his chest until he felt as though he would explode with it.

After a full day of riding the roller coasters and getting soaked on the water rides, (Ginny absolutely loved the white water rafting ride. They went on it at least eight times, and Ginny developed a technique. She wanted to get wet, and when she asked the people at the geysers to spray her, they wouldn't, but if she begged them not to, they all would spray her mercilessly. So that's what she continued to do after she figured it out.) Harry and Ginny began walking towards the empty parking lot to Apparate home. As they walked, Ginny spotted the most adorable stuffed turtle she had ever seen.

"Ooh, Harry, will you win that for me?" she pleaded, fawning over the cute thing.

"Sure," he said, looking at the game. It was the ring toss game, where Harry had 100 rings, and if he threw one of the rings on top of a bottle, he could pick any prize.

Harry was having a lot of trouble. He had just a couple of rings left, and he still hadn't gotten one on top of a bottle. He looked at his sweet Ginny, her eyes pleading him to win the turtle for her. Not wanting to upset her, he threw the last ring, using a bit of wandless magic to place the ring on the bottle.

Ginny squealed with delight and pointed to the turtle. She tried to keep the excitement out of her voice as she practically cried, "I want that one!" She grabbed it out of the man's hands and cuddled it.

"Thank you so much, Harry!" she cried, hugging him and kissing him deeply.

They continued on to walk out of the park, then Apparated home and fell asleep in each other's arms. Little did they know that things were about to go downhill.

Muahahahaha! My cliffies are semi evil! Yay! A few notes about the chapter… About the steep amount of money Harry got for the trip, (it was 500, just in case you don't remember) he wanted to be cautious, because he didn't know how much things cost there and he wanted to be able to buy Ginny anything she wanted during the day. Also, about why they didn't just Apparate straight into the park… They're honest people, and it would be dishonest to go in without paying. Also, it would be safer to Apparate into an empty part of the parking lot. What if they Apparated in right on top of some innocent Muggles, or someone saw them? That wouldn't be very good. Finally, some people might say that Ginny was a little out of character… but I made her that way to show how excited she was about being out and having a day of fun with the man she loves.

Hope that clears up anything you were wondering about! If not, review and ask. If so, review anyways, and tell me what you thought. Flames are always welcome, but good reviews are even more welcome-er. Thanks for R/R-ing! Love you all!
