Chapter 33
"Is that a bad ride?" Haruhi asked, confused by Katie's expression. Steph laughed as she grabbed the twins and started pushing them to the ride.
"She's only exaggerating. Its wonderful! Very cheery!" Steph said with an evil smirk.
So they went on Mr. Toad. They boarded a 'motorcar' in their usual pairs/threes. The ride was based on the Wind in the Willow's Disney take, called The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. The cars seemed out of control and, true to the name, wild. First they weaved through a library and into a fireplace. They wiggled down the dining hall of Toad Hall, which were filled with the dastardly weasels. They managed to get outside and nearly crash into everything in sight, disregarding policemen, signs, and even pubs.
Each car had a fake wheel on it. So, whoever was on the side of the wheel could turn it around. Haruhi was yelling at Tamaki every turn he made, because he happened to be using the wheel. The twins were both sharing the wheel in their motorcar, laughing maniacally while Steph, on the other side, pretended to hurl at every turn. Mori managed the wheel this time, with Honey giving him directions to where they needed to go and laughing with delight when they miss hitting something by inches. Kyoya was driving his motorcar with little care, laughing evilly with Katie as they weaved their way around nowhere in particular.
Soon, after a bumpy and wiggly ride with some explosions, the hosts find themselves in a court of law, where an evil looking judge proclaims the passengers of the motorcars "GUILTY". They journey into a jail for a small amount of time then, suddenly, they were out again. After escaping prison and causing more mayhem, the most confusing part of all happened. It was dark, and there was a train bell and light above them and a loud crash could be heard.
Tamaki felt his forehead with the back of his hand. He was sweating, and not just due to concentrating on the road. It was burning up in the ride suddenly, which was unusual because most of the attractions were pleasantly air conditioned. Everyone gaped in astonishment when they saw the red-hued room that they entered. Haruhi's jaw dropped, Honey looked confused, Mori's eyes widened, and Tamaki looked like the epitome of shock when everyone realized what this was while the twins, Steph, and Kyoya howled with wicked laughter. Katie rolled her eyes at it all.
Simply put, they were in Hell.
Red men were everywhere, including one that looked like the judge that had put them in prison earlier. And, as soon as they had entered the red pit, they exited to the end of the ride.
Katie and Kyoya got off first in the line of motorcars and the shadow king composed himself. That composure didn't last long as because the next motorcar pulled up with two very confused hosts sitting in shock. Haruhi's brow was furrowed in extreme confusion while Tamaki just sat there, wide eyed. Both Katie and Kyoya doubled over laughing as soon as they heard Haruhi's whispered voice. "The heck was that?"
Everyone exited as Katie explained that Mr. Toad, who they were, was an enthusiastic motorcar collector and rode recklessly everywhere he went. He got put in prison for it, he managed to escape prison but got hit by a train before escaping the chasing police. He then died and went where bad toads go, to sleep with the devil.
"Why on earth is this a children's ride?" Haruhi asked, still in shock.
"Did you not like it, Haruhi?" Steph asked.
"I think I liked it, but for children?" She asked, very confused. The rest of the boys had gotten over their confusion and shock, agreeing that the ride was funny and pretty fun.
"Its strange, huh. I don't really have an answer for you. Katie asks herself the same question whenever we ride this ride. All she can chalk it up to is that the beginning is for kids and the end is for adults." Steph tried to answer the girl. Haruhi nodded and shrugged. It was a strange ride.
Next was Katie's choice. She chose the Mad Tea Party Cups.
"How are we going to divide this, Katie-senpai?" Honey asked as they walked there. Katie though about it for a moment.
"Groups of three, ready, go!" She said as she grabbed the two people closest to her, Kyoya and Mori. Honey got Tamaki and Haruhi while the twins claimed Steph. So the loaded onto the tea table and each group got into a cup.
"Tight squeeze." Kyoya remarked as he climbed in a power blue teacup. Mori nodded.
"Yeah, but its best with three people. It evenly distributes weight." Katie said as she sat happily between the two attractive dark-haired men. "You two shall spin the tea cup once we've started and go super fast!" The boys nodded.
"Don't worry, Haru-chan! We'll spin as fast as we can!" Honey declared, ready to spin the pink cup. Tamaki and Honey chose it specifically for Haruhi, who really couldn't care less about the color of the ride. She just wanted to experience it.
"Oh, we might want to be careful, Honey-senpai, because we cannot become too dizzy, so maybe we should go slow-" Tamaki started in his classic host voice.
"Oh, the boss is too afraid that he'll throw up!" The twins interrupted from their cup next to Tamaki's. It was light green. "What a fraidy-cat!"
Steph, who was sitting closest to the pink cup and Haruhi, whispered ways to not become nauseous during the ride, for she sensed that a competition was about to erupt. She wasn't disappointed.
"What! No way! I bet that we can spin the cup faster than you two dopplegangers! Right, Honey-senpai?" Tamaki announced. Soon, there was a spinning race in place.
The ride was launched and the spinning began. The park became a blur of color for those brave enough to look around. Mori and Kyoya were spinning the cup fast as all Katie and the boys laughed with delight. Tamaki and the twins called out challenges to each other as Honey screamed with glee and Haruhi was getting pleasantly dizzy, as she was using the tips Steph gave her. Steph was encouraging both the twins and mocking the pink cup.
After a few minutes of fast-paced fun, their ride came to an end. Only Katie and Steph could walk in a straight line to the exit, since they were used to the ride. It was very amusing to watch Mori stumble around like everyone else was.
"So," Hikaru said, breathless from all of the hard work that was spinning a giant teacup. "Who won?"
"Won what?" Katie asked, pleasantly.
"Our spinning race." Kaoru said.
"Oh, you were having a race, were you?"
"Yes!"
"Impossible."
Silence. Everyone stared at her. She cracked a wide smile. "All the teacups have the same max level. Judging your hard work, that level was reached on both cups. You both went the same speed."
More silence. "You both won!" Katie said. Everyone burst out laughing from the shocked faces of the twins and Tamaki. Soon, they were laughing as well.
"Okay, okay, how much time do we have left?" Steph asked, calming everyone down.
"Well, its seven-forty now, which means we should do the rides closest to the castle next." Katie said. Everyone agreed. Continuing with the mad theme, Alice was up next.
