5th chapter! Yey! I just really want to thank you guys for your support. So here's a longer chapter! Enjoy!

One after another, people started to come. In a matter of minutes, the field was practically jam packed with people. Amy was kind of surprised that there were many people coming. Students. Teachers. Families. She never expected this much.

She took a deep breath. She needed to work. Their tent was, luckily, one of the food tents because imagine the game tents. Kids would basically almost destroy the whole thing just to play. At least, the food tent was more gentle. She hoped.

She was in charge of making the orders while Rose and another girl was at the counter.

It was about 9:00 and still early so not much going on in their tent. Only one or two orders to make at this period. People were just coming and they just had their breakfast so they were still relaxed. As time passed by, people started to pour in their tent. Orders everywhere and no time to rest.

"One meal A!'

"One meal B with large drinks!"

"Two meal B!"

Before she knew it, it was already noon and the line never seemed to stop. Amy wiped her forehead. People kept on coming and it was extremely hot. She struggled as the orders came and she arranged them as fast as she can. She wanted to laugh at the irony that someone who actually managed to save the world can't handle the fast-paced business of the food chains.

As much as she hates the other girl's (Paige's minions), they needed to work together. With the non-stop flowing of orders, it's impossible not to communicate with them.

"AH!"

Soda spilled everywhere. Amy saw one of the three girls holding an empty cup. She apologized and quickly went to get another cup.

Amy sighed. This is going to be a long day.

At last, their tent started to settle down. The other three girls just came back from their lunch and it was their turn to grab some lunch. Amy waited for Rose as she counted the money they earned so far.

They found an empty bench and sat down. Amy was starving and she knew Rose was too. They ate in silence but not like the one they had when they first met. This silence was because they were too hungry to waste their time chatting. Besides, each of them was given a break time of one hour. Luckily, their break was after their lunch. They would have the time to chat all they want.

"That was exhausting!" Amy sighed as they walked towards the trash can.

"I know." Rose replied.

They walked through the field. They talked about random things they saw when something caught their eyes.

The book tent.

They squealed like little girls and dashed towards it. They rummaged through the books, deciding which one to pick.

"Look at this, Rose." Amy held a book in her hand. "Gods of Manhattan by Scott Mebus."

Rose took it from Amy's hands. "Looks interesting..."

"How about this?" Amy handed Rose another book.

"Ah! Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake! I heard this was a good book." Rose commented.

"Oooohhhh! This one..."

After a few more minutes, they emerged from the tent with a couple of books in their hand.

"Well, I'm more of a thriller or mystery kind of reader." said Rose.

"I've read some Sherlock Holmes books. It was nice."

Rose smiled. "Really? I love them! Conan Doyle is the best! Absolutely brilliant!"

"I know! I-" said Amy when someone bumped into her, making her drop her new books. "No!" Amy quickly picked up her books. She didn't bother to look who hit her. She just bought those books and now they were ruined. She flipped through the pages for damage and luckily there was none. It was fine.

"I'm so sorry!"

Amy froze. That voice. Damn! She looked up.

"What do you want, Ian?"

Ian swept his hand through his hair in embarrassment. He was so focused in looking for her that she didn't know she was already in front of him.

"I'm sorry. I didn't see you."

Amy frowned at him and grabbed Rose's hand.

"Let's go, Rose." She walked away pulling Rose behind her.

Ian shook his head. He caught up to them and managed to catch Amy's wrist.

"Amy! We need to talk!"

Amy yanked her hand from his grip and turned around. Ian reached for her again.

"I need to talk to you! As your superior, I order you to stop being so stubborn and listen to me!"

Ian stumbled backwards as he almost lost his footing. Amy glared at him and turned to walk away. He didn't see that push coming and certainly her attitude towards him. He recovered quickly. He didn't want to do this but he needed to. He took out his last card. His trump card.

"Then I'll guess I'll just have to tell the teachers. My secretary is not fit for her job." he said, trying to sound as blunt as possible.

Amy stopped in her tracks. No. No, he would not do that.

"Oh, I will." said Ian as if he read her mind. She imagined him with his signature smirk.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She felt Rose's eyes on her. Poor girl! She wasn't supposed to be in between all this. She looked at her.

Rose smiled at her. "It's okay. The break's almost time and I need to get back anyway. People are starting to line up again."

Amy nodded and thanked her for accompanying her. She watched as Rose ran towards their tent. She took another deep breath. She turned around. She saw his lips curve slightly as he looked at her. She glared back.

He held his hand out. "Shall we?"

Amy rolled her eyes and walked passed him. Ian sighed and stuffed his hands inside his pockets.

They walked in silence as they pass by the different tents. Ian can't help but steal glances at her. He wanted to speak but he didn't know what to say. He didn't know how to start.

Amy waited. She waited for him. It's been about 5 minutes and he still wasn't talking. He thinks she's going to snap? Well, he's wrong. She's not going to talk unless he talks. Properly, that is. She stole a glance at him. Only surprised to find out that he was smiling.

Ian just couldn't help but remember their first walk. He had finally had the chance to ask her to walk with him. Somehow their schedules always seem to conflict. Most of the times he would be too busy with group work or maybe Student Council work. He looked at her as he felt her eyes on him. He needed to do this.

He grabbed her wrist to stop her from walking any further. "Look. I'm sorry for what happened. I didn't mean it. I'm really, really sorry!"

Amy crossed her arms across her chest and raised her eyebrow. "Which one?"

Ian looked at her in confusion. "Huh? What ar- oooohhh!" he said in realization. That made Ian silent for a moment. Come to think of it, she was right.

Amy smirked a little as he stood there thinking, staring into nothing. The great Ian Kabra didn't know what to say. He shifted his eyes to her. She smiled at him.

"Well, initially it was suppose to be for what happened yesterday. But I guess I do need to apologize for the books."

Amy frowned. "You guess?"

"I'm sorry for your books."

Amy smiled again. "That's better."

"About yesterday..."

But before he could say anything, Amy was already pulling him.

"Hey, look! Cupcakes! Let's go get some!" said Amy. She grabbed his hand and dragged him.

She was hoping he would not feel how sweaty her hands were. It was good thing she managed to avert his attention from the topic. She was stilll angry at him but she didn't want to talk about it. Not yet. It would only ruin her mood especially since she found a new friend.

Ian frowned. Cupcakes? Didn't she just eat her lunch? As they approached the cupcake stand, Ian realized they were still holding hands. He felt heat rising to his cheeks. Amy finally let go and went to the stand. Ian followed close behind.

He watched as she chose from the many varieties of cupcakes in front of her.

"I want to try something new. Hm..." said Amy.

"How about this?" said the salesman while he held a tropical fruit cupcake.

"I don't like fruits with cupcakes. I want chocolate."

"This is our best seller. Red velvet."

Amy crossed her arms across her chest. "I already tried red velvet."

"Well, try ours. It's one of the best I guarantee it."

Amy thought for while then agreed when Ian spoke."How much?"

Amy raised her eyebrow at him but he didn't look at her. He knew she would walked again. Amy held her cupcake in her hand as she examined it.

"I kind of have a feeling that salesman tricked me." said Amy.

Ian smiled. "Try it, then."

Amy licked the cream on top when someone bumped into her. She panicked as the cupcake almost fell. She angrily faced the culprit when she saw it was just a boy who quickly apologized. Amy just smiled and nodded.

Ian laughed. She looked so adorable. Amy frowned at him in confusion. Ian kept on laughing. He couldn't even speak. He grabbed her had and ran across the field.

Amy tried to think of where they were going next when she saw the locker rooms. The mirrors! They used the locker and made it like a House of Mirrors. They entered the room. Before entering, Ian suddenly stopped. He gestured for Amy to walk in first.

"See for yourself." he said with a smile as he struggled to keep a long face.

Amy frowned again and walked inside. She gasped as she saw herself on the first mirror which was a normal one, luckily. She had cream all over her face. She blushed in embarrassment. She was running across the field with hundreds of people with a face splattered with cream. She quickly wiped it off when she suddenly saw Ian's reflection on the mirror. Ian! This is Ian's fault! She turned around only to find herself standing alone in the middle of room.

She frowned. "Oh, now we're playing this game." She saw Ian on the mirrors again running to the other side. She quickly turned around. She was still alone.

"Yes, we are."

Amy tried to walk around the room, looking for possible hiding places. From tine to time he would show himself but she would be too slow to see where he really was. Amy started to get frustrated.

"Oh, come on!"

Ian laughed. "Go on, then. Find me!"

Amy saw his reflection in front of her. She tried not to laugh. His head was really big like a bobble head.

Ian pouted when he heard her snicker. He then heard her sigh.

"Whatever, Ian. I'm going. You stay there."

He heard her footsteps echo in the room. Each step faded until there was no sound anymore. He was alone. He quickly went out of his hiding place and chased after her. He went through the maze of mirrors, searching for the exit. He saw it at last. He didn't mean to make her upset. He just wanted to make her laugh. He didn't know she would get mad and walk away. He quickly ran towards the exit. Suddenly he felt someone tackled him to the ground.

He felt someone on top of him. He opened his eyes. He saw Amy straddling his lap and smirking as if saying 'I beat ya!'. His eyes widened in surprise. He thought she left. He heard her footsteps. How did she do that?

She grinned as she sensed his confusion. "Revenge." she said.

Ian laughed. He kept on laughing while had her hands to his side, tickling him. He laughed so hard his stomach was starting to hurt. His eyes were already full of tears.

"Stop! Stop!" he managed to choke out.

"You dragged me across the whole field in front of hundreds of people with my face full of cream! You should have told me!" she said while tickling him.

"I-I'm sorry!" he said.

He sighed in relief. She finally stopped. He wiped the tears off his eyes. After settling down, he found himself staring back at her green eyes. He wanted to look away but it was too late. He couldn't. Every time he looked into those eyes, he always got sucked in. He felt so naked under her gaze. He always felt like himself. His real self. Not the Ian Kabra everyone saw and knew. Most of the time, he would feel uncomfortable but somehow he felt a sense of security and peace like it felt right. Like everything felt so right.

Why does he always do that? He always looks at me like I'm some interesting gun. I guess he likes guns. He looks like he's always observing. Like he's finding something. She shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. She saw him drift back to reality.

He felt her shift above him. He realized their position. He felt his face grew hot. He saw her eyes widened. She must have realized it too. She quickly got up and walked towards the exit. He followed beside her.

"I need to go back." said Amy.

Ian remained quiet.

"It's past my break time, you know?"

Still, he didn't answer.

Before opening her mouth, she looked at him. He was staring at the distance, lost in thought.

Suddenly, he asked "You want to play?". Then he looked at her.

She frowned at his question.

"Balloon slide?"

For some reason, this made her smile. She nodded and he grabbed her hand. Side by side, they ran to the slide as if nothing happened. She didn't understand but maybe the five year old in her just couldn't resist.

They emerged from the balloon slide, breathless and laughing. It felt really awkward that you're in the middle of a children's playground full of kids with their parents looking at you weirdly. Obviously, you stood out from the rest because you're big.

After buying cotton candy, they found an empty bench to sit. Their laughter died into an uncomfortable silence.

Amy wanted to thank him for the day but she didn't want him to get the wrong picture. She was still mad at him for yesterday. Maybe not so much but she's still mad. Suddenly, she felt something soft hit her face. She glared at Ian who was looking at her innocently. She grabbed a pinch of cotton candy and threw it back at him.

He grinned and threw some at her. They started to throw cotton candy at each other until people starting to notice them. They started to stop and sit down again, chuckling at each other. She sighed. She suddenly saw their tent from afar. It was filled with people. She needed to go back. Fast.

She stood up. "I need to go."

"Amy, I-" Ian tried to reason.

"Sorry, I really need to go." She was already running towards the tent.

Ian sighed and looked down at the soft puffy treat in front of him. It wasn't a treat to him anymore. He just shook his head and threw it away, unable to finish his cotton candy alone.

Review, guys! Don't forget!

*Now, as I read this ending, I realize how bad of me to leave Ian to finish his cotton candy alone and leave a note that's too short and too passive XD So here I am saying, I added a few more lines to make it more sad. You're welcome :D
