Lilikoifish: Okay! It's been a while since I've updated, hasn't it? Well, I hope everyone is enjoying the fic! Just to tell you, I'm going to put in a few rides that are not actually in the theme park.

Bonded – Part3: Chapter4

"Kratos…you're shaking like crazy! What's wrong?" Anna rested Kratos's head in her lap. Kratos was sweating and he was shaking. He gulped and said, "Kvar was here." Anna glanced at him with a puzzled look.

"Don't tell me that you're afraid of Kvar," Anna said. She smoothed Kratos's hair out of his face.

"I was not afraid of Kvar. I was worried," Kratos said. "And I was angry at the same time." He sat up and walked over to where his tiny son was sleeping. He stroked the boy's smooth cheek. Anna pulled the sheets over her body.

"Why were you worried? You're the last person on Symphonia that would be worried," Anna replied. Kratos pulled off his sweaty shirt.

"I was worried about you, Anna. And I was worried about Lloyd. I was worried that Mithos and Yuan were really going to kill you," Kratos took a wet towel and wiped himself off. He climbed into the bed with Anna. Anna rolled her eyes.

"You're always worried about me," she said. She tugged the blankets around her tightly. "That makes me happy and concerned. You shouldn't worry about me so much. I can defend myself. Now let's get to bed. We have a long day ahead of us." Anna rolled over and kissed Kratos on the cheek. She fell asleep.

'If only you knew, Anna…' Kratos thought. 'If only you knew how much danger you were in…'

The next morning…

Anna threw off the covers. She leaped out of bed and pulled on her clothes.

"Kratos! Wake up!" Anna pulled the covers off of her husband. Kratos did not budge. Anna sighed. "You sleep like a rock." She smacked him lightly on the head. All of a sudden, Lloyd walked over to his father and did something Anna would have punished him for life for. Lloyd took in a deep breath and screamed as loud as he could in Kratos's ear. Kratos nearly crashed through the ceiling, due to his angelic hearing, which magnified the sound. Anna clamped her hand over Lloyd's mouth.

"LLOYD AURION!" Anna yelled. "THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE TRYING TO SLEEP!" Lloyd's eyes filled with tears. His bottom lip quivered. Anna sighed.

"WAAAAHHH!" Lloyd began to cry. Kratos slumped out of bed. His hair was askew. In fact, it looked as if he had just been electrocuted.

"What the hell is going on?" he asked (loudly at that). He picked up Lloyd. Lloyd's watery tears ran down Kratos's bare chest.

"Lloyd's throwing a fit. He screamed in your ear as you must know, and he could've woken up the neighbors," Anna said sternly. Kratos put his hand to his face.

"Lloyd, you need to learn to respect the others in the building," Kratos said. Unfortunately, this only made Lloyd cry harder. Just then, there was a knock at the door. Anna glared at Lloyd (which made Lloyd cry even harder) and answered the door. Anna let out a big breath.

"Good morning, Mithos and Yuan," Anna stepped aside to let them in. Mithos sat down in a large armchair, and Yuan sat down on the couch.

"What's with all the ruckus? Why is Lloyd crying?" Mithos asked.

"Lloyd screamed in Kratos's ear, and I was afraid the neighbors would have a terrible awakening," Anna sank into a chair, exhausted.

"Mommy's—sniff—being mean to me!" Lloyd sobbed. Yuan took him from Kratos's arms. He sat Lloyd on his lap and stuck something in Lloyd's mouth. Lloyd stopped crying and began to suck on whatever it was that Yuan had shoved in his mouth.

"What did you give him, Yuan?" Anna asked, relieved that Lloyd had stopped crying. Yuan smiled.

"Candy," he replied, grinning broadly.

"Wow! Check out that awesome roller coaster!" Anna exclaimed. Her eyes were sparkling, as she did have a soft spot for roller coasters.

"I swear she acts like a little kid when she's at an amusement park," Kratos said.

"Come on, Kratos! We have to go on it!" Anna pointed at a teal and salmon colored roller coaster. Kratos gulped. The roller coaster was pulled up a steep hill, then it released and went straight up a hill and dropped straight down…most likely more than a 300 foot drop. The track then twisted and went into a loop-de-loop—twice. Kratos watched some people go on it. The roller coaster then pulled you up an extremely steep hill and after about 5 seconds, released you, and you went around the same track—backwards. Anna looked at him with puppy-dog eyes.

"Who's going to look after Lloyd?" Kratos asked.

"I will," Mithos said, knowing of his friend's pathological fear of roller coasters (and tomatoes). Anna smiled.

"Problem solved!" she said. She pulled Kratos towards to ride. Kratos was trembling very hard. Roller coasters were probably his worst fear (after tomatoes). They sat down in the cars. The ride started. Kratos gripped the bars on his shoulder strap-in cushion thing. His palms were already sweating. Anna was shaking with excitement. They were slowly pulled up the hill.

"Good-bye, life," Kratos told himself.

"Oh, Kratos. Relax. This is going to be sooo much fun!" Anna squealed. 5 seconds seemed to last forever in Kratos's opinion. The mechanism released with a small "psst", and they were off. They shot straight up the hill, and when Kratos looked down on the arc, and saw how far they were going to drop, he screamed along with the others.

"Kratos! Isn't this fun? AAAAHHHH!" Anna screamed…just to say that it was fun. Kratos was screaming because he was terrified. They went upside-down twice, and then they were pulled up the hill. They were going to go on the same track again but backwards.

"HOLY CRAP!" Kratos yelled.

"Oh crap…" Anna gripped the hand grips. They shot off. Falling more that 300 feet backwards was not the best experience for Kratos.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!" Kratos screamed for his life. And just like that, the ride was over. Kratos stumbled out of the car and ran off.

"Kratos, wait!" Anna ran after him. When they met up with Mithos and Yuan, they found that Mithos, Yuan, and Lloyd were all laughing at the pictures that were taken during the ride.

"You should have seen yourself, Kratos!" Yuan laughed. Mithos pointed at a camera. Anna seemed like she was having fun, while Kratos look terrified, and you could see tears coming out of his eyes. Kratos did not look amused.

"Okay…Whew!" Yuan wiped the tears of laughter from his eyes. "Let's go on a ride that's relaxing."

"Oh, so you're not going to go on it?" Kratos asked. Mithos smiled.

"We were planning to go later," he said.

"Better go now while the line is short," Kratos smirked. He and Anna sat down on the bench, where there was a perfect view of the entire ride. They saw the cart go off and screams from everyone was heard. After that, Yuan and Mithos came, talking about how awesome it was. They didn't seem at all shaken by it. Lloyd was complaining now, because he wanted to go on a ride. So they went on the teacups, which was a ride that Lloyd could actually go on. Kratos went with Anna and Lloyd, and Yuan and Mithos went together.

Kratos spun the wheel really hard. Yuan and Mithos were still working the wheel. They saw a blur of red go by. That was Kratos, Anna, and Lloyd's teacup.

"Daddy! Slow down! I don't feel good!" Lloyd yelped. Kratos immediately grabbed the wheel to stop it from spinning so fast. The cup slowed to a nice spin.

"Whew! That was fast!" Anna smiled. A blur of green went by, which was Yuan and Mithos's cup.

"WHOO HOO!" Yuan yelled. Mithos was cheering as well. When they got out, they began to crash into lots of things.

"My legs feel like rubber!" Mithos exclaimed, slumping down on a bench.

"Same," everyone else said.

After that, they had lunch, which was a hot dog. Then, they went on the Ferris wheel, and then the kiddy roller coaster, which involved not much speed, and small drops. Then, they went on a water ride. Another thing Kratos hated. Water rides…especially water ROLLER COASTERS. Lloyd couldn't go on it, of course, so Mithos took care of him again. Yuan went with them on the ride. It was called the Perilous Plunge. It was in a boat, and the boat went up a large hill, then rapidly did a sharp swerve to the right, and then headed down a 300 foot water slide that was about 1 centimeter from being straight up and down.

"AHHHH!" Kratos yelled as they went down the slide. Yuan and Anna cheered. SPLOOSH! The boat hit the water, drenching everyone with water. This ensured being wet for the rest of the day.

"Boy…that was great!" Anna said. "Let's go on another ride!" Kratos groaned. Not another roller coaster. But it wasn't a roller coaster. It was a kiddy ride.

"Thank goodness," Kratos said. Sadly, this one was called It's a Small World (yes, I know this ride is at Disneyland. It's the most annoying ride EVER). When they entered in their boat, it was slow, but there were colorful dolls and such representing the many cities in both Tethe'alla and Sylvarant. All of them were looking forward to the rest of the ride.

'It's a world of laughter, a world or tears. It's a world of hopes; it's a world of fear. There's so much that we share that its time we're aware; it's a small world after all. It's a small world after all; it's a small world after all, it's a small world after all. It's a small, small world. There is just one moon and one golden sun, and a smile means friendship to everyone. Though the mountains divide and the oceans are wide; it's a small, small world. . It's a small world after all; it's a small world after all, it's a small world after all. It's a small, small world.' Sang the mechanical plastic dolls that were dressed like the people in the respective city.

"Oh my gosh…they're…creepy…" Kratos gasped.

"So, Mithos…maybe this is what your world will be like in your 'Age of Lifeless Beings'," Yuan mocked. Mithos glared at him.

"Shut up."

Towards the end of the Tethe'alla section, all 5 of them were extremely annoyed of the song.

"Won't these freakin' dolls SHUT UP?" Kratos groaned. Lloyd plugged his ears.

"Oh no…we have to listen to this throughout the Sylvarant section…" Mithos groaned. A sign said, "Welcome to Sylvarant!" In fact, everyone who was on the ride was probably annoyed of the song.

'It's a small world after all…' The dolls sang.

"Shut…up…" Mithos groaned. Another 25 minutes went by, and the ride was finally over. It ended with a colorful sign that said, "Have a Great Day!"

"Thank goodness that's over with," Yuan sighed.

"That sign was about 40 minutes too late," Kratos groaned.

"I don't wanna go on that again," Lloyd said.

"You got that right," Anna agreed.

For dinner, they bought fried chicken, and then they watched the beautiful fireworks (pretend that the amusement park is open at night). Violet, blue, green, red, and gold showers of sparks flashed through the sky. Ones that changed colors even popped into the sky. Sparklers, shooting start fireworks, and even heart fireworks were sounded. Everyone stared in awe as the fireworks showed off their beauty.

Finally, the grand finale of fireworks exploded through the air. It was a message: It's Just like Heaven Here at Altamira! It was surrounded by violet and gold fireworks, and then sparklers flew through the night sky and exploded into a gorgeous array of color. Everyone cheered.

Lilikoifish: How was it? Did you like it? I made up the first ride. Does it sound scary? I would be like Kratos if I went on that. XD Perilous Plunge is at Knott's Berry farm, and It's a Small World is from Disneyland, but I made it with Symphonia. )
