I think I saw a photo of one once. It might've just been a train, though, I'm really not sure. Same basic idea, right?

[luckynumberthree]

Sort of? [Simon's face scrunched up.] Except a train is for transportation purposes. Safe, fast, efficient. Roller coasters are something else entirely. They're just for fun. Come on, I'll show you.

[There's one that's Disney themed nearby, the rails and cars brightly colored and it doesn't look like it has anything too terrifying about it. Probably a good place to start for a kid that's trying it out for the first time.] How about this one?

[scootch]

[Ellie glances up... and up... and quirks a brow. It looks pretty big, especially up close, but not as big as some of the others she's seen around. Looks like a good place to start.]

Sure, I'm in. Lead the way, boss.

[luckynumberthree]

Stick close then, Squirt.

[Since apparently nicknames are a thing here.

He gets them in line and it's surprisingly not that long before they're being loaded into one of the cars. He gets in first, then waits for her to sit before he makes sure she knows how to secure herself into the seat.]

There. You should be good to go. Ready for this?

[scootch]

[Careful, Simon, or your permanent nickname will be S'moresman.

Once seated and secured, she wiggles a bit, prodding at the restraint over her head.]

Uh, I guess... is this thing really important? It's really clunky...

[luckynumberthree]

[Obviously one of these days he's going to have to introduce her to the movie marvel that is Stay Puft.]

Trust me. It's important. You don't want to go flying out of this thing. [Simon looks amused at her question as he fastens his own harness and settles back in his own seat, peering around the thing to grin at her.] Just hold onto the bars here if you need something to hold onto. And don't worry about shrieking your head off if you feel like it. It's sorta expected.

[scootch]

Um... okay, if you say s-

[And then the coaster shifts into gear, slowly clicking forward. Ellie's eyes widen, sitting up in her seat and staring out at the track looming ahead of them as the coaster car starts to pick up speed. It's... kinda like a car? Except not. Cars don't have tracks.

Oh god, she hopes she's not about to die.]

[luckynumberthree]

It'll be fine, kiddo! [Her words are cut off, so he gives her a grin and a laugh as he reaches over to tap his fingers against her suddenly-clenched knuckles.] It's fun! Just don't forget to breath, yeah?

[scootch]

Breathing. Got it. Okay. Okay.

[In, out. In, out. In, out. This isn't so hard. It's actually kind of relaxing the way it-- HOLY GOD IT'S SUDDENLY MOVING REALLY REALLY FAST

She wasn't screaming a minute ago but she sure as hell is now.]

[luckynumberthree]

[Simon, in contrast, is laughing his head off, giving an exhilarated whoop as the roller coaster drops them down into a free-fall and speeds them around the track, carried by its own momentum. He's never lied about the fact that he's an adrenaline junkie and he loves every second of it, but he still keeps an eye on the girl at his side, making sure she doesn't slip into all-out terror.]

[scootch]

[She stays mostly in the middle ground of half-terrified, half-thrilled - and she's not quite sure which one she feels more yet. It's exciting as hell, though, that's for sure. She's never experienced anything like this.]

[luckynumberthree]

[The ride isn't long and it's speed makes it go by in a blur and several dips and drops and high-speed curves later, the cars are pulling back into the loading station and the restraints rise mechanically in the air.

Simon leans forward so he can see her and gives her a shit-eating grin.]

Still breathing over there, Squirt?

[scootch]

[....Whoa. Whoooooaaaaa. Okay- okay. She needs a minute to regain her senses- she's completely out of breath from screaming for that long, and now that it's over, she's kind of hyperventilating, her head bowed. Eventually she manages to get herself to move, but all she can do is lift her hand and give him the finger.

Her breathing has graduated to the quiet wheeze of a laugh, though, so apparently she did enjoy herself...]

[luckynumberthree]

[Simon just laughs and leans over to scoop her up in his arms, carrying her off the ride so they don't get glared at for lingering too long. He cuddles her against his chest, still chuckling as he gets them out of the way and finds the nearest bench for them, dropping down and propping her on his knee.]

Did I break you?

[scootch]

[By the time they're up and seated, she's recovered enough to sit up properly, though she's still panting a little, one hand on her chest.]

No... oh man. Hell no. That was friggin' amazing! Can we ride it again? Or- or a different one!? A bigger one! It's awesome!

[luckynumberthree]

[Simon just laughs and tugs on her ponytail, sprawling back on the bench as he grinned at her.]

I told you you'd like it. Sure we can. We can go on any of the ones you think you wanna try out.

[scootch]

[She gives him a little shove and slides off his knee, plopping down on the bench beside him. She's a bit old for that, even if it had been nice.]

Can we go on them all?

[luckynumberthree]

That's an awful lot of roller coasters, but we can give it our best shot. [He grins at her eagerness, arching an eyebrow.] Sure you're up for that? You're not going to lose your lunch on me after the third one or something, are you?

[scootch]

Why would I throw up all the candy I had here? It was so good!

[Guys were feeding her cotton candy, her life as we know it has been changed forever.]

[luckynumberthree]

[Simon just laughs and leans over conspiratorially.]

Have you tried the caramel apples yet?

[scootch]

...N...o? I barely had apples before I came here. What're those?

[What is caramel it sounds very silly]

[luckynumberthree]

Oh, kid, we are so going to enlighten you to all the best things while we're here.

[Simon laughs and tugs her up again, already looking around for the nearest sweet stand to drag her off to.]

[scootch]

Bring it on, buddy.

[She grins easily and bounces a bit on her heels as she moves to follow him. This place? Awesome. And she could definitely get used to following guys around to find food and rides instead of monsters and death.]
