Chapter 11 – Swing High, Swing Low

Renesmee lead the way from the Underwater Adventure to Nickelodeon Universe with a determination upon her face, her hand clenched to Rosalie's so her aunt could not escape. The rest of the family followed without a word, enjoying the growing reluctance on Rose's face as the two minute walk came to a close. Alice and Jasper however seemed to silently disappear into the crowd, well unnoticed by everyone but Edward, who just frowned at his sister as she left. Nessie marched straight up to the first ticket booth she saw, determined to get more rides in before the day was out. Nessie scanned the ticket booth's prices, and squealed with delight.

"Momma! Daddy! Auntie Rose! Look! It is after five!" Nessie said pointing to the board. There in the 'Special Limited Time Offers' section was the "Twilight Savings" special, all the rides you can go on, for $15.95 after five p.m. Nessie smiled at her aunt, "Auntie Rose, that means that for about ninety-five dollars you, me, Jake, uncle Emmett, Mom and Dad can go on all the rides! Just like Six Flags!"

Bella gave her daughter a wry smile, "Ness, darling, wonderful job at doing the math! I'm so proud, but you know I'm not a fan of riding rides; I'm much happier watching you get to be happy honey.

"Renesmee, I think your Uncle and I are done riding rides for a while," Edward said to his daughter remembering the events that had happened earlier that day, "I think we're going to sit out as well." He gave a sly look to his blonde haired sister, "Though Rosalie would love to ride with you, won't you Rose?"

At that, Rose had had about enough. Her eyes narrowed at Edward thinking daggers and threats as loud as she could at her brother. She was about to vocalize the thoughts running through her mind when she realized that her niece was tugging at her shirt.

Renesmee let go of her aunt's shirt, and looked right into her eyes, and giving her the biggest pout face she could pull off and said, "Auntie Rosalie, you'll ride with me wont you?"

Rosalie looked helpless, this was the second time in less than a half an hour that Renesmee had done this to her, of course she could not say no. She looked at the little bronze haired girl, and nodded, defeated. Jacob was looking at Rose with a smirk on his face, "Sucks donnit Blondie?"

Again this would have brought Rose to her breaking point, but Ness had brought her up to the ticket booth's counter, and was giving instructions to the cashier. "One for me, One for Jake and One for Auntie Rose, please!"

The cashier asked them each for their arms, so they could get the wrist bands, and then let them know that the total came to $50.48. Nessie looked up at Jacob, who then looked at Rosalie and smiled. Grumbling Rose pulled out her credit card.

------------

Once Nessie had her all access pass, she was off, riding each ride she cold. Eventually she found the Backyardigan's Swing-Along ride, and much to Rosalie's delight, had asked Jacob to go on with her. Jacob looked absolutely silly squished into such a small swing. He glared at Edward and Emmett, who couldn't seem to resist taking a picture of the hilarity. Bella just gave her best friend an 'it's for Nessie, pointless to argue' look, and watched with a smile on her face. Because of Jacobs's sheer size, the ride operator kept the ride slow, and ended it early, fearing if he operated the ride normally, the ride would fall over with Jake's momentum.

The three of them rode everything from the Danny Phantom Ghost Zone ride, to the Pepsi Orange Streak. Bella, Edward, and Emmett took as many pictures as they could, not only to document the humiliation that Rosalie and Jacob were having to go through, but to document Renesmee actually getting to do things that a child should do.

Finally the light seemed to fade from the skylights above, and while coming off the Pepsi Orange Streak for the sixth time, Nessie had started to yawn.

"I think it's time for bed," Said Edward scooping his daughter up into his arms, "We should go find Auntie Alice hmm?" He flipped open his phone, and called his pixie like sister, and asked her to meet them at the ticket booth they bought their wrist bands at in twenty or so minutes.

Nessie nodded at her father, and put her head down on his shoulder. The family took a roundabout way back to where they had entered the park. Rose finally was smiling; riding with Nessie hadn't been too horrible, and in some instances it had been fun, not to mention that none of the rides Ness could go on had messed up her hair. They were almost to the ticket booth when Renesmee squealed yet again.

Rosalie looked at her niece, who was pointing at some ride she wanted to go on. She looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a sign reading: Log Chute. Rosalie stated taking steps backward towards the ticket booth, shaking her head saying under her breath "No, no, no, no"

Rose was almost five feet away from the family when she heard, "Auntie Rose! Will you pleeeeeeaaasseeeee ride with me?"

Before Rose knew it, the little bronze haired girl with chocolate brown eyes was pulling her into the line for the ride. There were five people ahead of them, and six who got in line after them. Rosalie tried to figure out how she could get out of this without killing anyone or moving too fast, but before she could, she and Nessie were being strapped into one of the wet logs. Nessie sat in her aunt's lap, holding on to the railings of the logs in excitement as they wound their way up the ride. The ride had finally gotten to the final incline, and each click of the track going up seemed like the ticking of a time bomb. The ride had reached the peak, and tottered on the edge of the decline for a second, a second that a wave a dread hit Rosalie. WOOOSHHHH. A second wave had hit Rosalie; a wave of water, drenching her and her niece who was clapping and giggling excitedly saying "Again! Again!"

They got off the ride looking like drowned rats, Renesmee ran straight into Jake's arms telling him all about the awesome ride. Emmett however was taking a picture of Rosalie to which she grumbled, "I see that anywhere, you are dead Emmett Cullen."

Emmett just boomed with laughter, whatever had happened today, seeing this was better than any of it.
