Wanda?! [He looks around in embarrassed confusion, as if expecting there to be some mistake.] Well, I'm starting to get the feeling I'm in line for these paddle-boats! [And it's not hard to see Wanda's line has the same endpoint.]

[maximoff_girl]

Oh? ... I would have thought you'd be in line for one of the faster rides. [She likewise looks around, as if for some sort of explanation. She notices now, the ride is being loaded from both lines.]

It... looks like we're going to be riding together. [A small, nervous smile etches itself on her face, as if to ask if that's ok.]

[wildbluevagner]

Trust me... I thought I would be, too!

[And he gives a grim nod, with all his conflicted feelings swirling about.]

Right - and I'm guessing the guys in charge don't take no for an answer!

[maximoff_girl]

[Oof, that's a shot to the confidence. She looks down at her feet.] ... I er... I mean... normally-- if I had my powers, I could make them take no for an answer. [She sighs heavily, trying to not let her mood spiral down.]

[wildbluevagner]

[He shrugs.]

If I had my powers, I wouldn't even have to be here. But... Hey. I guess this can't be the worst thing in the world. Right? [He tries to offer a reassuring grin as he clambers into the boat.]

[maximoff_girl]

[Wanda loads in, carefully, from the other side.] I thought it looked... nice, really. After all those roller coasters with Kitty... this should be very relaxing. ... [She dips a hand in the water, feeling the temperature.] What... rides have you been on so far?

[wildbluevagner]

[While Kurt awkwardly shifts through a number of sitting positions to try to find the most comfortable one. But at least talking about rides is something he can ease into.]

What rides haven't I been on so far? I tried out most of the big roller coasters so far. Except for The Orbiter - I'm saving that one for the last day!

[maximoff_girl]

Really? I'm not so sure I want to do that one. The roller coasters are great... you can feel the wind in your hair, but... wow. The orbiter looks intense. [Wanda does her best to grab the side of the boat casually, to prevent sliding around should the boat rock while Kurt tries to find his seat. ] ... I don't get motion sick easy, but I'd bet that one could do it...!

[wildbluevagner]

You say that like a bad thing. [He settles himself down.] This can be a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I'm not going to pass this up!

[maximoff_girl]

... You make it sound almost enticing. When you put it like that... Hmm. ... Maybe I will have to try it, after all. ... But if I get sick, I'm blaming you. [She laughs, very briefly, as she gets her feet situated to peddle the boat, more than happy to peddle by herself if he doesn't want to (or his feet don't fit or something).] Not something I'll have to worry about on this, I don't think.

[wildbluevagner]

[He definitely doesn't want to make her do all the work! He feels bad. It's a little bit awkward, but he's able to get his feet at an angel where he can press at the paddles and starts to paddle onwards.]

Are you sure? Romance can be a very gag-worthy thing. I can't tell how many cheesy love movies have cost me my lunch! [Or witnessing the live version, aka Scott and Jean.]

[maximoff_girl]

[Ewww, Scott and Jean. Wanda is QUITE happy to not have to live with that, thanks. She purses her lips, trying to be brave. She's already in the "brave" mind set, just being out without her powers, but even that can't stop the blush that's already creeping up her neck.]

Yeahh... ...But. ... I mean. [Use your words, Wanda. And accurately. English is not his first language. ] ... We can just enjoy the ride, right? There doesn't have to be anything... If you don't want. [Someone did not read the fine print of this ride. or read anything about it at all, actually.]

[wildbluevagner]

[He scratches at his fuzzy neck a little nervously. She's a great girl and everything - he can see that. And he can remember his fuzzy feelings for her from Luceti Valley clearly enough that it's almost like they're still there. But he's reminded himself that relationships are weird in this world, she's Magneto's daughter, and he remembers full well what she's like when she's angry.

He motions with his arms nervously while trying to jibber out a response.]

I- I... I mean, I don't know! Let's... Why don't we focus on the ride for now? I mean, this is fun stuff!

[maximoff_girl]

[Well. It's not a "no". That's interesting, and something Wanda will, in dutiful teenage-girl-fashion, assign more meaning to than strictly necessary. She laughs, a little nervous.]

I think it is, yeah. ... My brother wouldn't. [NO. Fail. Do not talk about your brother when you're failing at hitting on someone, Wanda.] Erm! But I do. It's-- peaceful.

[wildbluevagner]

It - it is! [He feels weirdly conflicted that he doesn't want to shoot down the possibility of romance entirely, even if he doesn't feel that it would be right - at least at the moment.

And yeah way to remind him that Pietro's your brother.]

And these peddles? Really neat!

[He doesn't even know what to talk about.]

[maximoff_girl]

[That's ok. Wanda is starting to feel more and more like confessing various romantic feelings towards Kurt might actually be a really good idea! She's been a pretty big proponent of "nope, keep that shit inside" up until now, but... she's having a hard time remembering why.]

... Yeah. I like that they let me keep my hands free. ... not that I have my powers right now, anyway. ...

[She pauses, considering her options. Option A being gush to Kurt about squishy, heart-fluttering girlish notions of luurve (which, she reminds herself, she really shouldn't be having for anyone, let alone an X-man). Option B being sitting in this increasingly long awkward silence.]

. . . .

[Option A it is, then!]

... So. Hmm. You know you're amazing right?

[wildbluevagner]

Of course I do! I'm the amazing Nightcrawler!

[He says, grinning with a bashfulness that he tries to project confidence through. Yeah, those feeling he had... they're feeling really fuzzy right now.]

But I mean, you don't think that... right?

[maximoff_girl]

Of course I do! [She can feel herself smiling broadly. She likes that name-- the "amazing Nightcrawler." The way he says it makes her laugh.]

... I wouldn't say it if I didn't think it.

[wildbluevagner]

[Oh, it feels like a weird blush coming on.]

Is - is that so? Well... What if I thought that you're beautiful? What then?

[maximoff_girl]

[OH BE STILL HER BEATING HEART. Can hear hear that? He can probably hear that, right? It's almost all she can hear, suddenly, the quick thudding in her chest.]

I... I wouldn't understand why, but-- I would feel like the luckiest girl on the earth. Ahhm. You know. If. You thought that.

[wildbluevagner]

No way! That's got to be bogus! [Too good to be true. His heart is racing.] I mean, I thought that... weren't you and Toad...?

[maximoff_girl]

[There is a beat, while she waits for him to finish that thought. She and Toad... what? She blinks, and then has one of her rare moments of clarity, and she recoils slightly.] Me an- No! Oh, god no! No! Oh-- no! No. No.

[wildbluevagner]

Really? You're sure? I remember you being angry at him after we rescued you, but there was also a kiss, you know?

[maximoff_girl]

[Rescued? That's an odd choice of words. She doesn't remember being "rescued," so much as skipping out on being grounded early. That's... sort of rescued. Sure. And there are more important things at hand! Like the fact that you kissed the wrong German that day, and then said wrong German turned out to be Toad. ]

Ohhhh god, don't remind me. ... I still can't get the taste out of my mouth. [She sticks out her tongue, in an exaggerated gagging gesture.] I... didn't know it was him. ... That was kind of a-- confusing day for me. ... But-- I'm not confused any more! I promise!

[wildbluevagner]

[While Kurt is kind of clueless as to what he "rescued" her from or how there was a technical failure there. But he laughs at that.]

Really? I'm glad to hear that, Wanda. You know... I'm not feeling very confused right now, either.

[Amanda and Mia all seem so distant - he feels like they'd understand. He looks towards towards her with a warm smile and reaches to hold her hand.]

I mean, things feel so clear to me now!
