"So he traded in the marriage with the girl of his dreams that he'd been hollerin' for the last however many years for with the devil to bring his old aunt back to life? Like she hadn't lived a full life or somethin'?" Rogue asked as she took a bite out of the cotton candy we were sharing.

"Yeah, I dunno, I think the people writing those comics have shut their brains off for like the last 15 years."

"It's had to have gotten better."

"Nope. Paul."

"What?"

"Paul."

"Who's Paul?"

"The worst."

"Care to elaborate, sugar?"

"No." I said before Rogue laughed. "So what do you think of Coney Island so far?"

"It's somethin' else, I will say that. Better than the town fairs we would have back in Mississippi." She said before she stopped and gasped. "Oh my gosh, (Y,N), look at that cute lil' teddy bear!" She pointed at a brown bear plushie with its tongue sticking out of it by the high striker with a bunch of other miscellaneous prizes.

"STEP RIGHT UP STEP RIGHT UP! COME ONE COME ALL! TEST YOUR STRENGTH AT THE HIGH STRIKER! USE THE STRONGMAN GAME TO SEE HOW STRONG YOUR MAN REALLY IS!" The carny shouted.

"C'mon hon, give it a shot!" Rogue told me.

"Ooooh, I don't know..." I feigned uncertainty.

"Please? For lil' old me?" She asked.

"Wellllll alright. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try." I said walking over.

"Atta boy! Everybody's a winner!" The carny told me. "Just don't split your pants trying to get into hers." He whispered to me as I gave him the 5 dollars to play. I took the hammer and faked not being able to lift it for a second before smashing it into the platform and having the bell ring out. I may or may not have watched a crack form. "WOAH! WHATTA SHOT KID! WE HAVE A WINNER!"

"What can I say? I have a sleeper build. I'll take the goofy looking bear." I said. I gave the bear to Rogue.

"Here you go, Belle." I said.

"What?" She giggled.

"It's French for beautiful. It's the only word I know so far." I told her.

"Oooooh~, très romantique, sugar." She said snuggling up to me. "You know, I never really reckoned you knew how to show a girl a good time like this when I met ya."

"Honestly, me neither. I like this bit of character development, though."

"I do, too." She smiled at me. "So what's next?"

"We still haven't gone on the cyclone~." I told her.

"You're never gettin' me on that wooden death trap, (Y,N)."

"Oh c'mon! No one's died on it in the last 100 years! Or at least I never googled if someone did or not!"

"I'm not gettin' on a wooden coaster made by cheapskates before child labor laws were passed!"

"They probably made it super good, though!"

"You're gonna have to try ///// something else, (L,N)." She said flicking me in the forehead.

"Ow! Fine, how about the wonder wheel, then? You're not afraid of heights are you?"

"Now you're speakin' my language." She said. She held her new bear tightly. "(Y,N) this thing is so freaking adorable! Thank you for gettin' it for me."
