Your phone buzzes in your pocket as you receive a text from Dave. It's been a few days since you were at his apartment, and right now, you are at work.

You slide the phone out of your pocket and inspect the message. It reads:

hey babe i figured out what we can do for our first date its a surprise though is Saturday at noon a good time for me to pick you up?

You check for any customers ready to buy before responding to the text.

SURE. I CAN ASK MY BOSS IF I CAN TAKE SATURDAY OFF. I HAVEN'T ASKED FOR A DAY OFF IN A WHILE, SO HE SHOULD SAY YES.

You wonder what this surprise first date is going to be. What is he planning? And why is he being secretive about it? You are very curious, but decide just to let him have his way and let it be a surprise. No need to go to any amount of trouble to figure it out. But that means you'll have to wonder about it for a few days, since it's only Wednesday.

But time goes by faster than you expected, and soon Saturday arrives. Your boss is a nice guy, so he had given you the day off without any hassle.

You wake up to your alarm blaring. You had set it to eleven so you had time to take a shower, eat, and get ready before Dave got there to pick you up. Your boss is a nice guy, so he had given you the day off without any hassle.

You grumble and hit the button on your alarm clock, turning it off. You sit up groggily, rubbing your eyes and letting out a long yawn. You take a quick shower and make some pancakes. You really like pancakes. They're so fluffy and sweet. Who doesn't like pancakes, actually?

It doesn't take long to make them, and soon you've eaten and dressed yourself in a black tee shirt with the Cancer sign on it, dark grey pants, and black converses. You look at the clock.

11:54

Dave should be here soon. You decide to pass the next few minutes with a little TV. When you flip it on, you see that "Thirteen Going on Thirty" is on, so you decide to watch the last few minutes of that.

The movie ends shortly after, and there's a knock on the door. Good timing, much?

You flip the TV off and answer the door. "Hey, Kitkat." Dave smirks down at you. You roll your eyes. "So can you tell me where we're going now?"

"Nope." He responds. You figured as much. "Can you at least tell me how far away it is?"

He nods. "This much I can tell. It's only about an hour from here."

You sigh and close the door, locking it behind you. "Another hour having no idea where our first date is going to be?"

He scoffs, starting towards his car. "And you call ME impatient."

You follow after him, reaching the car and sliding into the passenger seat. "Well you are impatient, too then."

He grins and gets into the driver's seat. "Whatever, dude. Let's just enjoy the ride. I have a feeling that you'll love the place we're going. Isn't that enough?"

You pout. "Fine, Gog dammit, I'll try to be patient."

He starts the car. "There's a good Karkitty." You growl. "Oh shut up, Dave. And why can't your name be easier to make fun of?"

He shrugs, pulling the car out of the parking lot. "I was blessed with cool everything. Cool name, cool bro, cool boyfriend, cool hair, you know."

You roll your eyes. "Also, put your seatbelt on, dude." He pulls his own over him. You frown, but click yours into place. You both talk about your interests and shit for a while, then the conversation evolves into completely random and pointless bullshit. You look around at the unfamiliar surroundings as the two of you talk. This continues for the remainder of the ride. "Alright, man. We're almost here."

You inspect the area. You don't see anything. "Almost where?" He chuckles. "You're about to see."

Just as the words leave his mouth, he turns the car onto another street, and a structure shows itself from behind a building. "No way." You grin at the roller coaster that has shown itself. "An amusement park?"

He smiles. "Mhmm." He pulls the car into a parking lot, paying for parking at a booth. "Welcome..." He pauses dramatically. "...To Hussie Land."

You snicker at the name. "What kind of a name is that for an amusement park?"

He shrugs. "Some guy named Hussie designed the place. Either way, the name doesn't matter. All that matters is that it's an amusement park, and we are going to have a hella fun time."

A grin tugs at the corner of your mouth. "Really? I've honestly never been to an amusement park before."

He whips his head towards you, eyebrows raised, then looks back at where he's driving. "Dude, are you fucking kidding me?"

"Nope." You say. "Never been. But I guess your brother took you here or something?"

He smiles warmly at what must be memories coming to him. "More times than I can count. We used to come here all of the time since it's so close."

He pulls into a parking space, unbuckling. "Sounds like a blast." You say, unbuckling and getting out of the car.

"Yup." He says. He locks the car, then looks at you. "Well, ready for your first amusement park experience?"

You nod and follow him through the parking lot to the entrance, where he decides to pay for both of you. You try to pay for yourself, but he won't have it. You eventually let him have his own way, and you enter the park.

You gape at the scenes around you. Rides everywhere, people mulling around you, smells of food from stands wafting through the air. Dave looks at you. "This is actually a pretty small amusement park, nothing compared to Disney or anything, but it's still a real fun place."

You stare at him in shock. "This is a SMALL amusement park?"

He chuckles. "Yeah. Anyways, let's go check out some rides, okay?"

You nod hesitantly. You've never been on a ride before. You've only seen people's reactions to them. Lots and lots of screaming and vomiting. You aren't sure about this.

Dave seems to notice your anxiety. "Dude, don't worry. We'll start out with smaller coasters and stuff first, then work our way up to the bigger ones."

This comforts you slightly. You agree, and you both make your way to a relatively small coaster. It still looks intimidating to you, and you hold onto Dave's hand for comfort. If this small one makes you nervous, you can't imagine what effect the big coasters will have on you.

The line moves fast, putting you closer and closer to the ride until finally it's time for the two of you to get on. You ended up sitting together in the very front seat. Just your luck. The man working at the coaster pulls down the bar and clicks it into place. Dave grabs the seatbelt from your side and clicks it into place as well. The man's voice sounds over an intercom.

"Thank you for riding The Firefly today. Please come again. Enjoy."

And with that, the ride lurches into motion. Your grip on Dave's hand tightens, which makes him chuckles. "Relax, Karkat. You'll be fine, alright?" You stay silent, giving only a small nod as a response.

The cars begin to mount the tallest hill of the ride. They reach the top, starting downward. You tense as the cars plummet downward, letting out a small scream. Dave laughs at your face, wide-eyed and frowning intensely. Still, you can't say you hate the exhilarating rush. The ride takes you around a couple of bends, over more hills, and finally, one last hill before coming to a halt back where it began. Dave grins at you. "So what'd you think?" You blink at him. "It was uh...it was okay."

He snorts, pulling the bar up. "Guess that means you liked it."

You pout at him, unbuckling both of you. He only laughs more. you spend most of the day going on more rides, stopping once to get food and drinks. Eventually it gets dark out, and Dave looks down at you. "We should probably get going soon." You frown. You've had so much fun today. You don't want it to be over.

Then you see one ride you haven't been on yet. "Wait. How about that one?" You point to it. Dave smiles. "The ferris wheel, huh? Sure, why not?" He leads you through the crowd towards it. You're glad you at least get to go on one more ride with him.

The line isn't very long, since most people are starting to leave, so you get to the ride easily. You climb into the seat beside Dave, who closes the doors behind him. "So what do you think of Hussie Land?" He grins at you.

"It was pretty fun." You say.

He smiles as you lean onto his shoulder. "I guess that means you had a blast then." He says quietly. You can't hold back a smile. The ferris wheel starts to lift you two up and you leave Dave's shoulder to look out at the park. It looks so beautiful at night, with the lights everywhere. You stare out at the view for what seems like forever, as the ride stops you at the top to let on more people. Suddenly a hand on your shoulder turns you around, and Dave presses his lips onto yours. You blink in surprise, but then wrap your arms around his neck, relaxing into him. His amazing kiss mixed with the view makes the night feel magical. You know that you'll remember this night for the rest of your life.

He pulls away and smiles at you, making it impossible for you not to return the smile.

You lay your head on his shoulder again, and he wraps his arm around you, making you feel happier than you ever imagined you could feel. You both sit like this more the remainder of the ride. But eventually you have to get off, and leave the park.

You climb into Dave's car, feeling tired from a day of walking around. Dave starts the car and pulls it out of the parking lot, and before you know it, you've fallen asleep against the window.

AN: I'm very sorry that this one took so long. I was honestly just being lazy, and for that, I apologize v.v

I will try to update more often, for you lovely people.
