ROLLERCOASTERS

Greg and Sara get stuck on a rollercoaster. Characters are not mine, sorry, my plot bunnies on this were hibernating…


Chapter 7- 2:22 am

"Greg?" Sara mumbled, her eyes still closed as she wrapped herself tighter in his arms.

He opened one eye, looking over at her. "Hmm?"

"It just got worse."

He was about to ask her what she meant when he felt the ice cold drop of rain on his neck. "Oh, perfect…" he sighed, knowing full well that it would be pouring soon. As everyone had said numerous times before. 'This city wasn't meant for rain'

Sara tugged off Greg's jacket, holding it over their heads. "That should help a bit." She said, snuggling closer to him as the jacket did not really provide a large area of space.

"Shall we play another game?" Greg suggested, holding her as close as he possibly could.

She was silent for a moment. "Does it have to involve your singing? No offense, but you sound like a herd of wounded cows."

"So I should cancel my Broadway audition?" he teased. "Okay, no singing. How about you have to guess what I'm saying?"

"Alright. What do you intend on speaking?"

"Japanese."

She raised an eyebrow. "When did you learn this?"

Greg smiled. "Lindsey got me into this J-rock stuff and I took a class at UNLV at night. Can we play?"

Sara nodded for him to start.

"Kon'nichiwa." He said, starting out with an easy one.

"This one I know. Hello."

"technically it means 'good afternoon. Ohayo Gozaimasu means good morning, Konnichiwa is good afternoon, Kombanwa is good evening and Oyasumi Nasia means goodnight." He explained. "But right general concept."

She laughed. "Don't make it complicated."

"Watashi wa Andoh desu." He said.

She bit her lip in thought. "No idea."

"I am Andoh. Andoh was my name in class, which was one of the more original ones, too. Rather than Honda-san, Toyota-san and Ninja-san."

"Next."

"Hai." He stated simply.

She grinned, another easy one. "Yes."

"Right." He smiled back at her.

"Iie."

"Ugh… no?"

"Lucky guess?"

She nodded.

He looked at his watch. "Gozen ni-ji nijuugo-fun desu."

"Well, since you looked at your watch I can assume that's what you said. It's 2:25 am."

"No wonder you're a CSI!" he observed, laughing.

Sara stuck her tongue out at him. "Keep going!"

"Okay, last one." He sighed. "Kimi wa boku no ai desu."

"No clue what so ever." She said, finally giving up after a few minutes.

"Kimi means you, wa makes you the subject of the sentence. Boku means my, no is possessive. You are my… and ai means love. You are my love."

She smiled and leaned over to kiss him. "The only other word I can think of that I know is 'Aishiteru' and it fits."

"Aishiterumo mata." He replied. "I love you, too."


I know, that was short, but I figured it would be a good way to study my Japanese and study at the same time, so, yeah… Review!
