Chapter 24: A Dangerous Game

While Tom and Mari where hanging out in the water park Mike and Chelsea had an intense bumper car showdown.

SKERRRT! CRASH! "Mother F∆¢ker!!!" Chelsea screamed at Mike they were the only people in the bumper cars so they could cuss and scream all they wanted. "hahaha" Mike laughed while circling around the empty cars to position himself for another attack.

The woman that ran the bumper cars just shook her head and sighed "You sure you don't want to move the empty cars to the outside of the ring?" she buzzed over the intercom. "No thanks Ma'am I'm trying to help her be a more aware driver before I get back in a car with her." Mike shouted. BANG!!

"How's that for aware driving!!" Chelsea yells after finally catching him off guard. A few more minutes of random crashing and they grew bored so they left the bumper cars and Mike thanked the lady for starting it up for just the two of them.

As they walked through the park they came upon the arcade. "Let's go in they might have Street fighter!" Chelsea yells as she runs ahead. Shaking his head Mike continues at his leisurely pace. Chelsea scanned the arcade and found an old Tekken tag machine.

"This is the only fighter game they got.. wanna see if you can beat me with out that cheater controller?" breaking into a grin while taunting Mike. "Sure but do you really think you can beat me? You may be a 'PRO' but I remember teaching you everything you know about fighters, and Tekken doesn't have any fancy moves for you to take out half a health bar in one hit."

"Pshaw I could beat you in any game I want except for Mortal Kombat.." "Since your so sure why not have a little bet then?" Mike grins. "I thought gambling was a sin?" Chelsea replied trying to avoid the bet. "No man is with out sin and I don't want money or property, think of it as a friendly wager."

"Yeah a rose by any other name is still a rose.. but whatever what's your wager." Chelsea tried getting out using philosophy but gave up knowing that is a field she could never beat Mike in. "Loser has to listen to one command from the winner."

"Hmmm well anyone else and I'd say no but you're not a perv so sure let's play." Chelsea picked Paul and Mike picked Yoshimitsu. "Your going down sword boy." "Yeah right you think I'm dumb enough to let you hit me with that stupid punch?"

A few minutes later and three rematches all going in Mike's favor Chelsea surrendered. "Name your wish O master." she says in defeat. "Hmmm" Mike strokes his beardless chin in contemplation as if he's deep in thought. "Ok let's go to the movies after we get back from Carowinds your treat."

"I can't afford to take everyone to the movies!" Chelsea cries in exasperation. "... I meant just us." Mike sighs "Oh ok yeah sure I can afford that." "Ok then I'll pay for dinner afterwards." "... Okaaay what's the catch?" "No catch but I drive us to the restaurant and you can't look." "that's fine but this sounds kinda like.."

"A date? yeah that's the point." Mike cuts her off and slides a few quarters into the air hockey machine Vrrrrrrrr The machine kicks on and releases the puck. "You serve first." Mike says with one of his rare real smiles.

"Hold up! your Command was for a date!?!" "Yeah but I'm not a perv remember? don't worry I'll open the door for you and everything.." "That's besides the point do you even like me like that? I'm not even a Christian you think your parents would approve?" Chelsea exclaims while her face slowly turns pink. "Well your concerns were only about my parents and me liking you is it safe to assume that.."

Crack! Chelsea snuck in a cheap shot while Mike was distracted. "... That was low Chelsea even for us." Mike grumbled as he retrieved the puck. While sliding the puck side to side he started talking again "As I was saying do you like me?"

"I never really thought of it.. I mean wait! look I like you your an awesome guy and my best guy friend you also check off most of the things I look for in a man but what if it doesn't work out?"

"We can do something else then? I could think of a different Command if you..." "Nope a date is fine! I just don't want to make it weird between us.." Chelsea stopped Mike before he completely cancelled the idea.

It's not that she wasn't attracted to him.she just always assumed he wasn't interested in dating, she tried to entice him before but it never seemed to catch his attention. "just promise me no crazy super romantic crap deal?" "That's fine I'm not good at that stuff anyways so action, horror, or comedy your choice." "Well I kinda want to see the new Spiderman movie."

As they played air hockey the two of them continue talking until two men walk into the arcade. "Damn b!tch lose a fight with a sharpie?" Man one says causing man two to laugh. Before Mari could say anything Mike's eyes went cold as he turned around and barked out "Who The F∆¢k do you think your talking to!"

After the two were psyched out by Tom they decided they weren't going to let it happen again. "You think your tough boy? I will F∆¢..." Man number two got directly in Mike's face to start cussing him out...

Mike went all American this year as a highschool wrestler.. it didn't end the way he thought it would. After putting the man in a guillotine head lock untill he passed out Mike dropped him on his face. "Get your friend out of here before I kick every last f∆¢king tooth down his throat... NOW!!!" Mike said to man number one who dragged his friend out of the door so fast he accidentally left a shoe behind.

"I am REALLY sorry about that Chelsea I just snapped I swear I'm only like that with dumb@$$e$" Mike started explaining himself as he turned around and realized Chelsea wasn't there... "D@mn!t.. I F∆¢ked up" he sighed as he drooped his shoulders before someone tapped him on his back.

"I thought I said!.." Mike turned around expecting to get in a fight only to see Chelsea even closer to his face than man number two was. Mwau "My hero" Thump! Chelsea kissed Him on the cheek before playfully punching his chest. "Hey it's almost lunch time I'm gonna text the girls to meet us at the cars." Chelsea skipped away while Mike held his face and smiled again.

Fun fact the guillotine is an illegal move in highschool wrestling, learned that one the hard way... Another fun fact I'm going out to this awesome ramen bar with my wife right now and picking up some Redbull on my way home, I've had so many thoughts for the story and haven't had the time to write so I'm gonna abuse my days off and spend some time writing since the house is nice and clean now. REDBULL!!!!... ™

Chapter 25: Gotta have em all

Shww! Shww! Shww! Shww! Shww! .... "Alright pick another prize." The young man working at the basketball booth says to Larry in exasperation. "Which one you want Vic?" Larry turns his head to Victoria who has her arms full with a veritable zoo of stuffed animals.

"Crocodile!" Vic shouts with Glee, even though Larry always bragged about being kind of good at sports, she never knew how insanely amazing he really was. He was with a few different rec leagues out of school so Vic never had the chance to watch him play.

Within ten minutes Larry has made a countless number of shots and only two missed. The crazy part was he only held the ball in his hand after picking them for as long as it took him to look up at the goal.

It wasn't just basketball either, Larry dragged Vic over to each of the sports booths and had her pick out all the prizes she wanted. Larry may have spent forty dollars but he won over hundreds of dollars worth of prizes.

The one that really impressed her was the ring toss though, even the lady running the booth dropped her jaw after the two walked away with six of her fluffiest plushies.

"How did you get so good at sports? Like why are you going to culinary school? you could be a pro athlete!" Larry grabbed up the stuffed animals in his arms before answering.

"I'm not that good Vic, Did you know I have a bunch of cousins that play pro and college league sports? Baseball, soccer, basketball, Hockey, Polo, Point is you name it and I got a Cousin, aunt, or uncle that plays or retired it.. Wanna guess how my WEEK long family reunions go? It's like a carnival they set up all these stupid 'Mini-games' every year."

Larry shuddered for a moment remembering how the rugby match went last year and praying his cousin John will be on his team this year. "So if you come from such a big sports family why is your dad a sheriff?"

"Because my Great-Grandpa was a cop and my dad looked up to him a lot My aunt Jenny is a cop too." "So your whole family is made up of Police officers and athletes? And you're going to be a cook?"

"Chef not a cook I wanna run my own Eatery as the head chef, and your dad is an accountant that makes bank, but your not copying him.. I just wanna do something that makes me happy, I'm not the kind of guy to put my neck on the line for people and I couldn't care about having thousands of fans and being super rich, I just want to eat good food stay high and have a nice house is that so bad?"

Pfft "Maybe the staying high part depending on what state you're in, That doesn't sound bad but what about your family?"

"eh I'll be halfway across the country so maybe see them once or twice a year? besides Facebook." "I meant starting one.." "Oh duh I'll wait till I get my restaurant up and then we can have as many kids as you want."

Victoria stopped walking and grabbed Larry's shoulder to stop him and look him in the eye. "Was that a proposal?" "What!?!? no! I'm going to propose Somewhere way nicer than Carowinds."

After replying Larry turned and kept walking completely oblivious to the meltdown he caused in Victoria's head. *He's going to propose!?!* Played on loop in her head until they made it to the pavilion.

"Thanks for letting me pick the ride first Vic, I love this one you can see the entire park and everything around it and it's so quiet." Larry stares out the window as the platform lifts and slowly rotates allowing for an amazing view.

Snap! "You know with as goofy as you act you can be sooo Hot some times." Victoria says as she took a picture of Larry with her cell phone. As she went to put the phone away it buzzed twice telling her she had a message.

"Hey Larry everyone is heading back to the cars for a bite to eat, let's go snag a few more prizes on the way back I'll pay this time."

~Civic~

Chelsea, Vic, Mike and Larry had all made it to the cars and waited on Tom and Mari with the comfort of the A.C. "Soo where are you guys going out to eat?" Victoria asked Chelsea from the back seat.

"Mike won't tell me, he's making me keep my eyes closed on the way too.." "Oooh sounds romantic" Larry mocked slightly while pretending to swoon. "How long has it been since I last hit you?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised. "Too long" Chelsea replied before Larry could answer.

"You guys think this is going to make things awkward for Tom and Mari?" Victoria asks changing the sentence and saving her man at the same time. "Uhh I don't think so.." Chelsea replied with a look of disbelief and pointed to the rear window.

Everyone turned around to see Tom and Mari walking out the gate holding hands whilst laughing. As the two made it halfway to the car they let go of each others hand and took a step apart. When the two finally made it, Mike and Larry jumped out of the Civic and grabbed Tom as Chelsea and Vic cornered Mari.

""""Aha!!!"""" "What the Hell guys!" Tom shouted mid assault "We saw you walk out the gate." Larry says in a accusing tone. "We know everything" Mike chimes in as if they were badgering a witness.

"You must tell us everything." Victoria demands beforr grabbing a hold of Mari's arms while Chelsea starts tickling her. "We want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

As Mari was being forced into laughter she couldn't speak so Tom shouted out to save her. "Fine!! We are talking about dating okay!" "Just talking?" Mike asks accusingly. "Yes!!" Mari shrieked between laughter and tears, she hates being tickled because she's so sensitive.

The four let them go nodding partly due to being satisfied with their teamwork and mostly because they thought Tom and Mari should have been dating for years now.

Only after all the excitement died down did Tom notice the MOUNTAIN of stuffed animals sprawled across a picnic blanket between the cars. "... Win a few prizes Larry?" "Eh it wasn't very hard." Larry replied to Tom while shrugging his shoulders. "Ok no more talkie talkie I'm staaaarving." Chelsea buts in and shakes Tom to hurry him up and pop the hatch to the jeep.

There are several authors that release new original work I would happily give SS for but stay free, then I see people take work from other sites that has been free forever and charge premium.. It bothers me, I have no intention of charging for this it's my relaxation time. This isn't good enough to pay for anyways I only post it seeking feed back, but I wish WN would let me gift to any author I want.. they have many talented authors that aren't under contract and so many page fillers that are..
