A/N In reply to the guest review: My name is very similar to Maura's and people I have just met shorten my name like Jane does with Maura's. It is actually a very natural thing. But thank you very much for your review. It is highly appreciated.

After agreeing to go out with Jane on Saturday, Maura could think of nothing else. She had asked if they could do something different. Something Maura had never done before. When Maura had suggested going where they were, Jane was overly shocked. She knew Maura had not really had the childhood most children had, but to have never gone to a theme park, not even one of the really small ones with the terrible rides. She guessed it was not that unusual but to have never been on a roller-coaster, that's what confused Jane the most as she loved nothing more than one of their family trips, where Jane and her brothers spent all day running from ride to ride until they threw up.

So here they were at 10 am on a Saturday morning at Six Flags. The journey had taken them around two hours: within which they had laughed, played a few games, sang along to the radio and for almost the entire journey they had sat hand in hand.

The excitement on Maura's face as Jane pulled into the car park was unforgettable and made the detective´s heart swell with joy. 'This is going to be a great day' she mused.

Getting out of the car they made their way to join the queue, for a Saturday it was not very busy. Jane was surprised but was definitely not going to complain. Maura had hooked her arm around Jane's and clung to her body, squealing with excitement as she saw the tops of some of the biggest rides come into view. Jane couldn't help but beam at the petite woman.

After getting into the park Maura sheepishly looked up at the brunette 'Jane, I..uh..I'm a little scared about the big rides. I don't know if I will like them'

'You don't have to go on anything you don't want to. We can start with some of the smaller rides and when and if you are comfortable with those, we can go onto some of the bigger and better ones. How does that sound?'

The excitement noticeably poured back into the blonde as Jane's words erased any form of worry she had encompassed. 'So what do we go on first?'

'Eager one aren't we' Jane laughed as she unfolded the park map she had picked up. 'Well you've got Crime Wave, the one right in front of us. You sit in a swing and it spins around. It's not scary at all. Do you want to start with that one?' Looking over at the ride, Maura decides it looks acceptable and nods before following Jane. As this ride was near the entrance, there were a lot of people here. The women had to queue for around thirty minutes. The closer they got to the front of the queue, the more nervous Maura became as this was the first theme park ride she would have ever been on. She wanted to enjoy it but she didn't know what to expect. With each step she inched her way towards Jane's safe embrace. As their turn came, Maura bravely and very elegantly sat on a swing next to Jane, glad she had taken Jane's advice and adorned a simple pair of shorts and a vest. It was summer in Boston and they were experiencing a heat wave. As the ride started, Maura gasped at the unexpected jolt forward. Rising higher and higher from the floor and over the heads of the people waiting on the ground, she was still very nervous. A fear of falling and landing hard on the ground had taken hold. Jane extended her long leg and nudged Maura, who shot her head towards a smiling detective 'relax baby.' Taking a deep breath, she reached across to grab Jane's hand, intertwining their fingers loosely. Her body physically relaxing at this small contact with Jane. As the ride continued, they both enjoyed it, laughing and playfully kicking each other. The ride began to slow and finally came to a stop, Maura's disappointment showed at her fun being taken suddenly before remembering the numerous other rides she had yet to experience. Jane unbuckled herself, getting up to leave. Looking over at where the blonde sat struggling with her belt, she couldn't help but laugh, a deep throaty chuckle resonating from within her chest. The woman that still sat struggling with unclasping the belt, let her gaze rise up the body of the form in front of her, putting on her best pouty face before folding her arms across her chest with a huff. Not being able to resist the adorable sight, Jane strolled over to her. 'Need some help there' not getting an answer, she laughed again and unbuckled the blonde, pulling her close to her body before leading them away from the ride.

'So what did you think of that? Not too scary for you?'

'No. That was not scary at all. What's next and give me a challenge this time please'

Raising an eyebrow with a smirk, Jane once again unfolds the map. 'Do you want a really scary one or…'

'No' Maura interjects before Jane can finish. Sheepishly she looks away 'I..I don't think I'm ready for that just yet'

Placing a kiss on her forehead, Jane looks back at the map 'How about New England SkyScreamer? It's like the one we were just on but it is much, much higher. Are you afraid of heights?'

'Not at all. A fear of heights is irrational, however..'

'Do you want to squeeze in as many rides as possible today or do you want to give me a lecture on the irrationality of having a fear of heights?' A hurt and saddened look spread across the other woman's face before she realised Jane was just messing around with her. 'Sorry, let's go'

'It is this way, oh and after that we can try pandemonium. That one is more of a roller-coaster. It's twisty and fast but there are no really big drops and I will be right next to you if you get scared'

'My knight in tiny white shorts. How noble of you. I guess I will have a look and then decide if that's ok with you.'

'That is more than ok. Follow me.'

The women went on the New England SkyScreamer and both enjoyed it as much as the first. Although Maura had to admit she did get butterflies in her stomach at being swung around that high in the air. Once that was finished they made their way over to pandemonium. With a little goading from Jane, Maura reluctantly went on the ride. She attached herself to Jane clinging for dear life as soon as she sat down, burying her head in the brunette's neck. She screamed throughout the entire ride but asked to go on again as soon as the ride was over.

As they were already in the North End, Jane had suggested they finish the rides in this area first. Both were very glad about going on Blizzard River as the water cooled them down, they decided to go on it again they had enjoyed it so much. They dried off in no time with the heat of the sun.

They passed on Scrambler as it was similar to the first ride and Maura had now gotten a taste for the bigger and faster things but she was still unsure of the biggest of the roller-coasters such as cyclone.

They wandered around hand in hand exploring the park as much as they could. As mid-morning approached, they both became a little hungry. Settling on Panda Express Great Chinese Food, they had a light lunch followed by an ice cream.

'So how are you liking it so far, Maur?'

'I have to say. This is even better than our first date and I loved that. I was worried I would ruin it by becoming too scared and not wanting to try any of the rides.'

Jane licked the trail of ice cream that had melted down her arm before replying 'you're doing brilliantly. I am honoured you let me bring you here. I wasn't really looking forward to taking you on a fancy date. I didn't want to embarrass you with the way I dress or eat' Saying the last part more to herself than Maura.

'Jane you could never embarrass me. I don't like those fancy dates. This is much more enjoyable. Thank you for bringing me here.' Finishing her ice cream, Maura stands, extending her hand to Jane. 'Are you ready for more?'
