Fun-fun-fun!!! ((Ingrid, Rosaliz, Jaquin))

[dana]

Dana tied the shoelaces of her white tennis-shoes. Today was going to be a day for fun. Pulling a white baseball cap on top of her head Dana checked her appearance. Short cut jeans, white T-shirt, white cap, white shoes and a white back-pack. She was ready. Dana jumpe on the railing as she slid down to first floor before trotting out of 2-stories apartment. Taking the elevator down Dana waved to the door-boy happiyl and received a smile and a salut in responce before she slid into a dark-blue BMW. The driver already knew Dana’s destination for today so the car took from it’s place immidiately moving thorugh traffic with ease. It was about 20 minutes later when the car pulled to a stop.
„I’ll meet you here, miss Coran,“ the driver said and Dana nodded at the driver, „Very good, James, I’ll see around 4 or 5. Feel free to go grab a bite somewhere in the mean time.“

Dana exited the car. It was still rather early – only about 11 so buying the ticket was an easy task. Giving the ticket to the cotrol-guy Dana had entered the amusement park in a matter of minute. Shoving the ticket into her bag Dana started touring the park making a few mental notes about the rides she wanted to go onto later. Buying herself some pink cotton candy Dana stepped into one of the carriages of the Ferris Wheel. Picking on the muggle sweet Dana enjoyed the view as the wheel turned slowly. It was a calm ride, which was good. Dana’s stomach always turned on amarican railways. She had been on one once. About 4 years ago. And it had been terrifying. Kris had had to carry her off the train becasue Dana’s own legs refused to carry her for the next hour.

Shaking the memory away Dana leaned back and enjoyed the Ferris Wheel. The ride ended soon and Dana got off. A few moments later she had finsihed off her cotton cnady and after washing her hands – cotton candy always made them sticky – Dana made sure neither of her ear-rings would come off, made sure her cap was safely on her head – she didn’t want to get a sun-burn either. Even though considering the fact Dana never had a compeltely white/pale complexion it would hardly be a problem.

Moving forward Dana decided to start with a water attraction. Called the ’Wild WaterWay’. Triple w. It didn’t sound too dangerous. Besides small kids came off the attractiong with laughter. Dana stepped ito the relatively short line Looking around curiously. There were small wooden boats for 4 people that made the tour on this attraction. So far so good. Hopefully she’d end up in a boat with people who wouldn’t mind her screaming if the ride got scary. Dana grinend at the thought and stepped forward as the line moved again.

Ingrid sang along merrily to 'Mickey Mouse Club March.' She bounced in her seat; "Who's the leader of the club that's great for you and me. M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! Mickey mouse! Donald duck! Mickey Mouse! Donald duck!" She was driving her mother insane with the constant disney songs, but INgrid loved them to death. Her favourite was One Jump Ahead, from the Alladin movie, but she had worn that song down- so it was Mickey Mouse Club March on repeat now. She looked to Janine, who had her head in her hand and was staring out the window. Ever since Ingrid was going to Hogwarts, Janine had been so sad. And it made Ingrid so upset.

They pulled into a parking space in the amusement park, and Ingrid threw open her door before the car had stopped moving. She jumped out and did three really big circles. Janine tumbled out after Ingrid and stood next to her sister, quietly. Ingrid grabbed both of her hands and pulled her ino the circles as well, "Pleae Janine! Be happy for me! For the amusment park people! Please?!" She asked with a grin on her face. She continued to jump around, even after she let go of her hands. Janine had agreed and Ingrid was ten times more energised now. When her mothers door opened, Ingrid snapped to attention and saluted her mother and father, "You have your instructions..." Fred Lewis said stiffly, but with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, "Go along and play!" He said shooing them.

Ingrid grabbed Janine's hand and pulled her toward the Viking Ship. It went up and down, it swang back and forth and it gave them a feeling of sky diving. It was fun! Ingrid got off, pulled Janine to the ferris wheel and got on that as well. She loved the ferris wheel, and was pointing out all the fun places they could go. Their next stop was Scooby Doo's Haunted House Hunt and they shot at all the ghosties. After that, they went and got cotton candy. Now they were in line for the water ride. They were behind an older girl with black hair, Ingrid tugged on the girl's sleeve.

"Excuse me, may we ride in your boat?" She asked sweetly. She didn't want to be stuck with the person behind them who looked really mean. Ingrid leaned in and whispered to the girl; "There's a grumpy guss behind us and I don't want to be stuck with him..." She put her finger to her lips as if to tell her not to say that she said that, and leaned back with eager eyes.

Rosaliz excitedly put on her brand new jersey suit in the color off pink. She let her hang down letting it shine and glimmer in the sun’s heat. She had been in a car with an old friend who was going to drop her off in a muggle amusement park. She loved going there, when she had a chance. When the car had made a sudden holt and she looked out her window. The sight of it was pretty with all the colors and smiles on people’s faces. She jumped out very quickly yelling goodbye as she made her way towards the entrance. Rosaliz ran on ten rides already, and was quite hyper by the time she got off the last one. People were staring at her, seeming that it was quit out of the usual. She then spotted a water ride that she wanted to go on to. After a minute or two, another girl had stood behind her, then she heard the recently girl in line ask if she could go in the boat with her. Rosaliz wanted to go too after she thought to what the other girl said. She turned around and said “I’m sorry for over hearing, but can I go on the boat too? I’m kind of lonely myself “ she said. Rosaliz was hoping that the girl would say yes looking at her with a smile that was from ear to ear.

((sorry it's short ))

Dana watched the boats curiously. At least they were wide. And looked pretty stable. Just then someone tugged on her sleeve and Dana turned around curiously looking at the girl there with a smile that only widened upon hearing her words. Dana glanced at the mention man behind the two small girls and her smile only widened. Before she had a chance to respond however the girl in front of her joined in on the conversation. Dana smiled at everyone brilliantly.
“Being in the same boat would work nicely for me. I wouldn’t have wanted to go onto this boat alone. I have to admit that I’m a bit edgy,” Dana grimaced a little looking up as a new boat came forward, “Well, let’s go then.” The guy used a broom to make sure the seat was empty and then smiled at them with a nod, showing that they may sit in.

“Oh,” Dana stepped in gratefully taking the guys, who was holding the broom, hand gratefully as she almost lost her balance. Settling to sit comfortably in the boat Dana hesitated but then sighed and chose the last seat. She most definitely didn’t want he first seat. That was the scariest one of them all. The last one – well, hopefully it would be a calm enough ride. The girls settled into the boat as well and Dana smiled leaning forward as the boat started moving slowly: “I’m Dana by the way.”
The boat moved forward going for a climb and Dana had to forceful relax her hands on the boat as it came out of the climb and made a half-turn on the path. A small going down that wasn’t luckily scary. Dana just laughed as water-droplets hit her and enjoyed the right. They made two more half-turns and Dana enjoyed the ride. At least she did until she suddenly noticed a rather sharp fall down.

“Oh god!” Dana yelped loudly as the boat turned down at 30 degree fall and let out a scream. Going head first down in a waterfall was not Dana’s idea of the best time of her life. The fall was over quickly however and Dana’s scream turned to full-fledged laughter. She was rather wet due to water splashing into the boat but Dana laughed happily as the boat made on more turn slowly and returned back to the beginning. A small TV showed a picture that had been taken of the boat as it had just came form the big fall and Dana grinned. “Oh, I want that picture!” Dana jumped happily out of the boat moving to the counter. Handing in 5 dollars Dana got the picture as she laughed looking at it. “This is great,” Dana told the younger girls showing the picture to them as well before looking around happily, “Are you here on your own or with someone? Or at least give me a tip as to which ride would be nice?”

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz stepped into the boat right after Dana went in. She decided to sit in the middle, hoping Ingrid wouldn’t mind sitting in the front. The boat started to move slowly but had blown her hair back, out of her face. She heard the water making rustling sounds as well droplets touching her arms and face. Rosaliz shivered since the water was ice cold. She enjoyed the ride making a couple of half-turns. Rosaliz hoped this ride wasn’t going to be really scary, and hoped it was going to stay nice and relaxing. Rosaliz then noticed the fall that the boat was going to take. Her stomach turned just looking at it. She watched it appear closer and closer until. A sudden strong breeze hit her face and it felt that she was going to fall face first out of her seat. She heard Dana Scream, and then starts to giggle. Rosaliz felt her stomach tingling with a smile on her face. But then it stopped when she felt her face smack the water, getting her whole body completely soaked. She then noticed that the boat ride back to the entrance. She noticed there was a big line of people waiting to get on. ‘They are desperately are hot to get on if they don’t mind waiting, what seemed an endless line.’ She thought. Rosaliz then saw Dana jump happily out of the boat wanting to by a picture of them. Rosaliz fallowed along jumping out too hoping Ingrid would do the same. She rushed over and came to admire the picture. She saw her self in the picture smiling

((This is a bit of a hard post to answer to, as you know that Jaquin is not the "fun-fun-fun" type of person. I think I'll wait for them to get back on land before posting.))

[dana]

((We are back on ground. And what did you expect then? This gives you a chance to show creativity. Babysit some kid. Or have some relatives coming over ywho wanted to come ot the amusement park. Ingrid has her sister along as well.))

[Jaquin Prokenstien]

((Just pointing out the fact that these two ideas conflict. Jaquin and fun don't really mix that well. At least not the Jaquin of today. Anyways, here it goes....))

It was a dreary, foggy Saturday morning when Jaquin woke up on the hard, wooden floor of his Grandfather's study with a gargantuan tome resting on his chest and a quill between his index and middle fingers. Jaquin looked around, rather discombobulated and came to the conclusion that he had unceremoniously fell asleep while doing his Care of Magical Creatures homework. However, that did not explain why he was on the ground. Stretching his arms out, Jaquin yawned at looked around once more, spotting his Grandfather on the couch, fast asleep and also clutching a book in his hand.
To his surprise, the antediluvian wizard sprang to his feet and said with a mockingly serious tone, "Now what did I tell you about today, Jaquin? Do you remember who you need to take to the amusement park?"
Jaquin looked toward the doorway into the capacious study and let out an exasperated groan. The silhouette of a very small boy stood in front of him and as he stepped into the light, Jaquin could see the eager, yet mischievous face gaze up at him.
"All right, all right, Grandfather, I'll take Benz to the amusement park, but he has to promise to stay close or else I'll be chasing after him all day," Jaquin agreed with a bit of reluctance.
Jaquin's Grandfather gave him a stern look and turned toward the ten year old, ruffling the youngster's hair, saying, "Now be a good boy and follow Jaquin, don't get lost or else my youngest son will be after Jaquin's blood."

Benz was Jaquin's youngest cousin; his father's brother had four children, the first three having graduated from Hogwarts the year before, and the last getting ready to start this September. In Jaquin's mind, the boy was very clever and could fit in well with the Slytherin's of his year. The ten year old was tall for his age, had blond hair like Jaquin and had very narrow eyes, which were vigilant in the field of finding people's wallets. Benz was cunning, extremely boisterous, arrogant, liked to brag, and had a certain disregard for rules. Jaquin did not really like the last attribute of his cousin, as it was very tiring, having to chase Benz everywhere, sometimes apparating several yards just to catch up to the young wizard; Jaquin was already of age and could use magic during Summer Vacation and he had already passed his apparation test. Since Jaquin had an extreme affinity for biology, a muggle science concerning the study of all "living organisms", he had spent most of his summer arduously studying and completing a one-year, Harvard Medical course in a few months, which was a prodigious feat. This drained most of Jaquin's energy and he was hardly able to finish his summer homework, let alone to take his cousin to the amusement park.

Jaquin and his cousin walked out of the large house a few minutes later, dressed in muggle attire. He drew his wand and stuck his right arm out. In a second, a loud bang was emitted and a dark purple, triple-decker bus had appeared. Jaquin grabbed his cousin's hand and they got on the Knight Bus, paying the pimpled boy at the door before taking a seat. He told the driver, Ernie, that they needed to get to the amusement park and after a wild ride, they had arrived at the fair. Thousands of people milled around, laughing raucously and there were tumultuous cacaphonies every time a rollercoaster passed overhead. After paying the man at the gates, Jaquin guided Benz into his dreamland and inquired, "So, where do you want to go first, Benz?" However, when Jaquin looked back down at his hand, Benz had vanished into thin air. Jaquin looked around wildly before his vigilant eye caught site of Benz heading towards a boat ride and he ran after him. In a few seconds he had caught up with the boy, but ran into a girl about the same age as he was. "I'm extremely sorry. It's just that Benz here..." Jaquin apologized profusely as he tried to catch his breath. He turned to the girl and to his surprise, saw that she was Dana Coran, a Ravenclaw 6th year at Hogwarts. "So, what brought you here?" Jaquin asked, glancing at the two girls by Dana's side. "Are they with you?"

[Ingrid Lewis H4]

Janine clasped Ingrid's hand so tightly, it turned it purple. Ingrid didn't pull her hand away though, she knew the ride was probably too scary for her younger sister. Ingrid smiled at her, and squeezed back as they went down a hill. She giggled, and when she got off- she was soaked. Ingrid looked at the older girl as she asked her a few questions. She put her finger to her chin and then tapped it, but then spread out her arms and did two quick circles, "My parents went off because I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself and my sister Janine. I'm Ingrid Lewis, and this is Janine. I'm 11 and she's 9."

The question about the rides, however, was a tough question. Ingrid looked at Janine who had the gleam in her eyes that said she knew, but she didn't want to say. Janine was never one to speak out in a crowd, but before either of them could answer someone bumped into the girl. Ingrid looked up with a raised eyebrow as he asked if they were with her. She pulled on her sleeve again and whispered, "Do you know this grumpy guss?" She made sure the boy couldn't hear her. Before the girl could answer, Ingrid bounded over to the boy, tilted her head to the right and up a little so she could look at him.

Her eyes pierced his and she had her hands on her hips, she looked like a midget mum. Ingrid finally spoke; "You're gianormous. Honestly," Ingrid moved to stand directly in front of him, "If you stay right there..I could be in shade." In all honesty, she was engulfed in shade. Would it be either because she was tiny, or because he was tall- either way there wasn't a spot of sun on her. Ingrid smiled up at the boy and bounced, she crossed her arms and stuck out her left foot as if she were going to trip someone. "You don't look too happy to be at the amusement park. What's wrong? Did something happen? Or did you want to stay inside and sulk all day? You look like the sulking type. Do you know what sulk means? If you don't, that's bad because I'm 11 and I know what sulk means- and what are you...40?"

Before he could respond she was talking again; "Well, regardless if you're 40 or not, you look 40. No offense or anything, but maybe you could try to look your age? I mean, if you know this girl...then you can't be that old, because she doesn't seem to be any older than 16 or 15. How do you know her? Do you work with her?" Ingrid jumped behind him and mimicked him. His stance and everything. She giggled a little then hopped to his right and did an "about face" type of thing, then she started to march, "You remind me of an army person. You seem so..." She stood up straight and saluted, "Stiff."

((Well, Jaquin, if you had volunteered to start it- we wouldn't have had this problem now would we?))

[dana]

Dana showed the picture of the 4 of them to Rosaliz as she rushed over while looking towards Ingrid: “I’m sure you can take care of yourself. Pleasure to meet all three of you, Rosaliz, Ingrid, Janine.”
Dana was bout to say something else and had already opened her mouth when someone ran into her. Letting out a breath Dana glanced at the boy who apologized. For a moment Dana hesitated looking at Jaquin. They really didn’t have the best history. At least this time his survival-instincts seemed to be working and he recognized who Dana was.
“Jaquin, pleasure to meet you too,” Dana turned and smiled at the boy Jaquin had been with and who she guessed was Benz, “Benz, right? And I’m here to enjoy myself. And these girls are by themselves. I just had the pleasure of meeting them.”

Dana listened to Ingrid’s words with a smile growing on her face as she turned her white cap around on her head. Laughing at Ingrid’s mimic of Jaquin Dana’s eyes twinkled. It was amusing. The girl was a surprisingly good actress for her age. “This is Jaquin. And yes, I know him. We go to the same school – he’s a year older than me,” Dana answered Ingrid’s questions with a smirk not even bothering to hide her amusement, “Come on all of you. What would you say if I offered to buy everyone an ice-cream? I sure could use one cold sugary cone of ice-cream… Ice-cream, cheese and 42 are answers to all of lifes questions.” Dana mused loudly with an almost blissful expression on her face. Shaking the thought away Dana grinned at Jaquin. “Feel free to join us if you want. I promise I won’t bite, even though I won’t tolerate insolence. But it’s really your choice as I don’t have a clue how you feel about muggles as company,” Dana told Jaquin as her eyes landed on an ice-cream cart. A bright smile flashed across Dana’s face once again as she turned and made her way over paying for the ice-creams and choosing a vanilla-strawberry cone for herself. Wizarding ice-cream was better, but nothing was wrong with this either.

Taking a bite of the sugary good-ness she was holding Dana smiled at her companions: “Any bright ideas about the next ride after we finish the ice-creams?”

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz listened to Dana offer free ice cream. “I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM,” she yelled jumping up and down furiously. She loved ice cream even if it was muggle or not. She just loved the way it was always nice and cold and helped her cool down on really hot days. When Rosaliz received her ice cream she took a big bite. The cold vanilla ice cream gave her a brain freeze from swallowing it to quickly. She giggled in laughter. Dana then asked to what ride they should go next. “I think we should go on the built in roller coaster that’s in a building in the dark. But they also squirt water and stuff at you.” I never been in it but my friend told me all about it. She says it’s really scary but fun” Rosaliz was so happy that she was practically hyper. She couldn’t wait for the other rides and hoped to see if she was going to be able to hang out with them for the rest of the day.
