They joined the queue for the ghost train. They had agreed that they were to be a rowdy, energetic group so they were pranking each other in the queue. Simmons and Amber had filled Fitz and Kain in on the plan to keep May and Coulson apart.

"How many are in your party?" The ride coordinator asked Coulson, who was heading the group. It was a different man from the previous night.

"Erm..." he did a head count "eight."

"Cars only seat six so you'll have to split up."

"Two of them are little. Can't we squeeze them in?"

"No. Sorry, it's procedure."

"I understand, but these people are on a field trip from the insane asylum, splitting them up could result in one or more of them going missing, and as they all have homicidal, psychotic tendencies that would not be a good thing." Coulson told him, making sure to lower his voice.

They had agreed on this as their cover for being out as a group. It explained their age, gender, ethnicity and geographical differences. It was either this or Scrabble Club outing, which was Simmons idea.

"I'm sure we can squeeze you all in." The attendant said.

"Ward has to go in front" Amber nearly screamed as the car arrived, remembering the previous ride they had taken.

"Nope. I go in the middle." He countered. They kept arguing until Coulson stepped in.

"Ward, Skye and myself in the front, Amber and Kain behind, Simmons, Fitz and May in the back"

Ward stuck his tongue out at Amber. After all they were all supposed to be psychotic. As they all got seated in the car Amber flicked Wards ear and he turned to punch her. Coulson pretended to lean across Skye and restrain him. Kain, pretending to be a sex addict was hitting on Simmons who was sat behind him, who in turn was having an illuminating conversation with herself. Skye, pretending to be the shy quiet type was trying to get out of her seat and sliver to the floor, but the restraint bar stopped her. Fitz was licking the restraint bar, having cleaned it off with sterilising solution first, while May sat twirling her hair around her finger staring off into space.

The car started moving and right on cue, Skye let out a scream.

"They're coming for me. They're here. They're taking me away." She rambled before turning to Coulson "Don't let them take me."

Coulson put his arm around her.

"Shh. Shh. It's ok. It's just a ride" He soothed, as Ward launched another punch at Amber.

Once they were in the darkness Coulson let go of Skye and she cuddled into Ward. Amber stopped flicking Ward's ear. Kain stopped hitting on Simmons. Fitz stopped licking the restraint bar, May stopped twirling her hair and Simmons directed her conversation toward May and Fitz.

Before they knew it they were hitting daylight again.

They changed their behaviours slightly.

Skye was trying to climb out of the car across Ward's lap, still screaming they were after her, while Coulson was trying to keep her in. Amber was trying to strangle Ward as his hands were full with Skye. Kain had turned to start hitting on Simmons again to find they had managed to change positions on the back seat and he was now face to face with May, who was twirling her hair again, but was now blowing bubbles with some gum while staring into space. Fitz was now licking the back of the car, getting closer and closer to falling out of it. Simmons had resumed her conversation, but was now putting on a male voice to answer her own questions.

As they plunged into darkness again, all of the people in the car became serious. They were approaching the suspicious part of the ride. They entered the room and like before, the further they got into it the smaller it seemed to become.

None of them saw it spin.

They got to the end of the ride and Coulson pretended to shuffle them out of the car and away from the ride. Amber punched Ward and he started to chase her, only to have his arm grabbed by Coulson. He then made sure the others were safely off the ride before leading them to the nearest food stall, all the while keeping hold of Ward.

Suddenly Coulson felt Ward stop and turn back to the ride.

"What's up?"

"I just had a strange feeling."

"What about?"

"The ride. There is something different about the train coming out than going in."

"It looks the same to me. Come on. We'll compare notes."

Looking over their shoulders they made their way to an open space of land that was far away from all of the rides and stalls.

"Anyone, anything?"

There was a chorus of 'no' from everyone, including May and Ward.

Coulson was about to call it a night when Ward suggested a possibility.

"Maybe it's not the one ride. Maybe it's the combination May and I took."

"It's worth a shot." May said, realising Ward may have a point.

"Let's do it! Where did you two start."

"We started off with a corn dog and love boat, worked our way round our section from there."

"Let's go then!"
