Two Twins, Their Idol, And A Green Day Competition, chapter 12
"This is the best water ride in the park." Mark said smiling, we were in Islands of Adventure and entering our first ride of the day.
"Let me just get it going." He let a few boats go empty, then stopped one. They were biggish boast that you could fit around 25 people in. Tré got in first followed by Billie Joe, me, Hannah then Mike. The safety bar came down, Mark pressed a button and the boat started to move. As we went around the first corner there was a great big gate in front of us. 'Jurassic Park' it read. We went around the ride until we came to a lift hill. We started to go up the hill; it was so long it took a long time to get to the top. We then went around another corner, in front of us was a great big T-Rex, we were all concentrating on the T-Rex, and all of a sudden we went down this great big drop.
We came of the ride, we were soaked, Hannah's top was see through and it was sticking to her, but she didn't care, she was having fun. We had a look at our ride photo, it was great. Tré was sticking his tongue out screaming, Billie had hands up with a big grin on his face, I was there in the middle with my hands up doing 'Rock on'. Hannah had her head buried in Mike's chest with her hands wrapped tightly around his waist, and Mike - well Mike was just Mike.
"That's a great picture." I said, I opened my wallet and frowned, nothing.
"I gave you my last $20." I said. Billie gave me the twenty back, I smiled and said thanks. Billie grabbed his wallet out of his back pocket,
"Two key rings, one picture and three fridge magnets please." He said.
"$30 please." Mark said.
"Guys you owe me." Billie said looking at Tré and Mike.
"Billie you didn't have to." I said.
"Its okay guys you're my guests, I'm entitled to buy you stuff. Wait 'till Christmas comes." Billie said grinning. He handed Mike and Tré a magnet and took one for himself. He then gave me and Hannah the key rings and photo. I stopped to ask Mark something,
"How big is that drop?"
"85 feet." He said. Everybody just went 'wow' apart from one person.
"Fuck me!" Billie's voice came from behind me.
"No thanks." Mike sniggered.
"Shut up." Billie replied, and flipped him the middle finger.
"I wanna go on that!" Tré shouted, pointing to two big towers and bouncing up and down like a child wanting the toilet.
"Oh, whoa, oh no." Was all I managed to say I shook my head.
"Its okay, you don't have to go on it if you don't want to." Mike said.
"I might, it depends on how I feel when we get there." I said.
We arrived at the ride,
"I don't wanna go on it thanks." I said as I backed away from the entrance.
"That's okay." Billie said reassuringly he patted my shoulder. They rushed over to the seats, Hannah sat in the middle, Billie Joe to the right of her, Mike to the left and Tré on the end. They were strapped in and ready.
"This is Doctor Doom's Fear Fall!" Mark said over the loudspeaker. He pressed a button. They shot up to a heght of over 100 feet! They were screaming, laughing and shouting.
The ride finished, as they got off I decided I wanted to go on.
"Er guys, I don't mean to be a pain but, I wanna go on now!" I said.
"Sure, no problem!" Billie said as we walked towards the entrance, I looked back, Tré was sat down.
"Tré, you coming?" I asked him.
"Nah, I didn't like that one too much." He frowned as he rubbed his stomach. He shot up, turned around, bent over the bin and puked. I just laughed and ran to the empty seat in between Hannah and Billie.
"Ready?" Billie asked.
"Not really."
"That was great!" I shouted as we got off.
"Yeah, but I don't think Mike and Tré agree though!" Billie laughed, looking over towards the direction of the bin across the path, we all started to laugh. Tré stood up,
"Don't laugh!" He said wiping his mouth.
We went on a few more rides, but Mike and Tré didn't, they still felt queasy. We then all went on the Popeye log flume, and the one where you sit in a big circular boat and we got completely soaked! So Billie, Tré and Mike walked around with no tops on.
I could swear Mark was gay, he kept eyeing up Billie Joe. Billie realised so he put his shirt back on. He didn't care if it was wet.
The next ride was called 'Dueling Dragons', there was a blue one and a red one.
"We're going on both." Billie said.
"Whoa, hold on, what do you mean by 'we'?" I asked him. "I don't do rides with loops." I told him. I actually felt like a right wimp, but I didn't care at the time, I was too bothered about the ride.
"Fine then, I'll sit all alone." Billie pouted.
"It's okay Billie boy, I'll sit next to you." Tré said cheerfully. Billie shot him a 'shut up' look. Tré did as he was told. They started to walk towards the entrance, Fuck it.
"Wait up you guys." I said as I ran after them. "'I'll come on it, but I want to sit at the front in between Hannah and Billie with one of the guys the other side of Hannah."
"Great!" Billie said as he grabbed my arm and pulled me up to the train. He sat me down, pushed the bar down and took a seat next to me as I'd asked and pulled the bar over his head.
"Why did you decide to come on?" Billie asked.
"Well I thought, it's better to regret something you have done, than to regret something you haven't." I replied. The train pulled out of the station and went up the lift hill. When we go to the camera, Billie grabbed my hand and held it up. I kept a firm grip on his hand all the way through.
When the ride had come to a stop, the first thing I said was,
"I wanna go on the other one now!"
"Great!" Billie replied. "But Tré you can sit next to her this time." He said while clenching his fist and relaxing it again. He frowned.
"Sorry Billie, I didn't mean to hurt you." I frowned.
"It's okay you've got a tight grip there mate." He said to me, I blushed.
"I want a photo!" I said getting out my wallet. Billie forced me to put it back.
"Save it." He said. He brought us a photo. It looked really good, these ones have a place, in frames, on my bedside table.
We sat down for a drink. It was getting late, we only had a few more rides to go on.
"Billie are you sleeping tonight?" I asked him.
"Nah, don't think the guys are either, we gotta be at the at the airport quite early." He replied.
After a few more rides, we went on 'Hulk', which I didn't go on, but the others did. Tré was sick after that one too! Then we went on the 'Spider Man' ride, it was great!
We said thanks to Mark and the guys gave him some money and we made our way back to the hotel.
"I'm gonna go pack guys." I said.
"Me too." Hannah added.
"Yeah okay. Be ready to go out in thirty minutes." Mike said.
"Okay!" we replied happily. We went and packed, looked around the room to see if we'd missed anything. A knock came at the door.
"You ready guys?" A familiar voice asked.
"Yeah Tré, we're coming." I replied. We hauled our stuff down to reception, the woman put our stuff behind reception and told us 'She'd guard it with her life. '
"You better do! I have my favourite guitar in there!" Billie said. Blue. I thought.
"Billie can I have a look at it when we get home please?" I asked.
"So it's your home now, eh?" He laughed, "Yeah, course you can." I smiled,
"Thanks."
"Let me just get it going." He let a few boats go empty, then stopped one. They were biggish boast that you could fit around 25 people in.
