There were six per car. The interns were in the front of one with May and Ward then Fitz-Simmons. Skye and Coulson were in the car in front of them. Things started trying to make them all jump and scream, but having seen and fought bigger scarier things than what the ghost train had to offer it was proving to be quite entertaining what lengths the creator would go to.
Ward saw it as a personal challenge to make someone scream on this ride. His choices: Kain was sat directly in front of him, May to his side and Simmons behind him. May wouldn't be stupid enough to fall for the feather up the leg routine on a ghost train; he was already working on pranking Simmons so his obvious choice was Kain.
He extended the pen-like object so it reached Amber and he started to prod and poke her with it. Every time he connected it she jumped and swatted it away from her. He retracted the device as he saw daylight coming up. The open part of the ride. The break before they threw the really scary stuff at you. When they hit daylight Amber turned to Ward and May, suspicious that it was them prodding her, it's something they would both do, and was about to open her mouth when Kain looked at her and screamed, trying to stand and jump out of the cart.
There was blood pouring down her neck. Of course it was fake blood planted there by Ward's 'pen' but Kain didn't know that.
Coulson, in the cart in front of them and hearing the girly scream from one of the interns tried to look back to see what was going on but was plunged into darkness with Skye once more.
Fitz and Simmons looked past May and Ward to see what Kain was screaming at. They instantly recognised it was fake blood. Amber still didn't realise she was covered in it.
May pretended to act scared and buried her head into Ward's armpit to keep herself from laughing at them. She had no idea exactly what Ward was up to in the dark, but she knew he was trying something!
The six of them were plunged into darkness once more and the ride started again. They entered a space that looked like a room, but as they were nearing the opposite side the room appeared to be spinning in a rather peculiar fashion. Hands gripped at them from the wall and fake plastic food pretended to chase them. They were soon in the passenger loading dock being asked to leave the train.
The attendant caught sight of Kain's pale face and then Amber's throat dripping with fake blood and admired the girl. Clearly the boyfriend had been trying to scare her with the ride but she had scared him instead.
Once they pairs had left the train they went their separate ways.
"Ok everyone, I think we have covered all of the rides. Back to the 'bus" Coulson told them down their microphones.
They used different cars and before long they were all back on the bus. Coulson and Skye finally realising what had caused Kain to scream like a girl on the open part of the ghost train.
They drove up the cargo ramp and headed into the lab before agreeing to move it to the Lounge where they could at least get a drink and a comfy seat while Amber washed the fake blood off her throat. When they got to the Lab, however they saw the strangest thing. A bra, white as cotton wool, laid out on the hollotable.
Simmons ran up to it when she recognised it was hers and snapped it up quickly. Everyone looked at her confused, except Skye, who knew that her underwear had gone missing.
They settled in the Lounge and waited for Amber. Skye and Ward were sat next to each other, making as much minimal contact they could get away with while they were still technically working; May was sat at the bar, still chuckling over Ward's prank on Kain; He was sat on his own in one of the chairs, waiting for Amber to come back from her shower. Fitz and Simmons were sat on the other end of the sofa that Ward and Skye were sat on. They were sitting a little closer than usual, but there again he was trying to find out how Simmons lost her bra in the Lab. Amber came back and shot a dangerous look at Ward, who kept a straight face when he was looking at her. She hadn't managed to clean all the fake blood off and a thin red line was still visible on her neck.
"So what did we find out?" Coulson asked them.
"Ferris Wheel was a bust" Skye told him, even though he already knew that.
"So were all the rides we went on and the stalls we visited. They'll con you out of your house if you're not careful but they didn't give off the 'I'm going to catch you and not let you go vibe'." Amber added.
"Same with us" Fitz agreed.
"May, Ward? What did you guys come up with?"
"The love boat is breathtaking" May told him, catching Ward's eye and laughing. He shot a flash of annoyance and an 'I'll get you back for that' look at her before continuing:
"There was something in the ghost train. I don't know if anyone else saw it but towards the end where you went through a deserted room that got smaller and smaller as you progressed."
"We all saw that." Kain interrupted.
"Did you see it start revolving so the floor became the ceiling and the ceiling the floor?" Ward finished.
"No."
"Wait. I saw that too." May admitted.
"Well, I think we are all going back to the fair tomorrow night" Coulson told them before dismissing them.
Ward and Skye went to bed early that night.
"So why was the love boat breathtaking then?" Skye asked him, knowing that May had probably done something to him.
"She asked when I found out about, well, you know, and I told her I was sat at the bar with Nat having a drink talking about Fitz-Simmons when you told us." He replied, climbing into bed. He preferred the side by the wall.
"You're an idiot!" Skye said, now slightly annoyed that he had told May she had told him. Next girls' night she was going to be in such trouble.
He saw the annoyance and guessed correctly what it meant.
"You won't be punished for violating girls' night. You told me beforehand" he told her.
She relented a little.
"So why was it breathtaking?"
"We were cuddled up together as you would expect a married couple to be on the love boat and she wrapped her arms around my chest trying to get information out of me about Fitz-Simmons."
"That doesn't sound too bad."
"She has a vice grip and it lasted the full five minute ride. I could barely breathe!"
Skye climbed into bed next to him and cuddled into his embrace.
"I love you, idiot" she said to him before she fell asleep.
