Amusement Park
* Harry is determined to ride ALL THE THINGS in one day. He ends up dragging everyone around the entire park while critiquing every single roller coaster he's been on before coming to the ultimate conclusion that overall each was great in it's own way.
* Jay also wants to ride ALL THE THINGS, but mainly just to annoy Harry. They go on a lot of rides together and have a bunch of stupid contests. At one point they both throw their shoes out of a moving roller coaster to see if they can hit the camera as they pass by it. Unsurprisingly, they both miss by a mile, resulting in a really hilarious-looking photo that the rest of the group decided was so great that they would all chip in to pay for 3 copies of it. (And they plan to use a photocopier once they get back from the park, but Harry and Jay don't need to know that.)
* Lonnie eventually joins them in their "who can ride the most roller coasters" challenge, but she doesn't really care about it as much as Harry and Jay do. She takes more frequent breaks to get snacks and hang out with everyone else, while the other two have a more "can't stop, won't stop" mentality about the whole thing. She honestly finds it rather ridiculous, but can't deny how much fun it is.
* Ben, Jane, and Lonnie have been coming to this amusement park since they were kids, so they're more interested in nostalgia than anything else. They end up taking millions of pictures in the photo booths and stuffing their faces with funnel cake, cotton candy, and ice cream.
* Uma genuinely enjoys a lot of the rides, and relentlessly makes fun of Harry and Jay for this stupid contest they've decided to invest in. She chills with Ben and Jane and eats a lot of junk, plays stupid carnival games with Carlos and Audrey, unashamedly goes on kiddie rides with Ben and Jane, and joins Harry, Jay, and sometimes Iria on the super intense roller coasters. While waiting in line for a ride, she gets into a heated political debate with a random stranger and almost gets kicked out of the park.
* Dizzy and Celia alternate from eating candy apples and going on kiddie rides to riding the really intense roller coasters, which Dizzy honestly enjoys a lot more than she thought she would.
* Carlos would honestly rather be at home, watching TV or working on an invention or reading a book. But, everyone else was so excited about this, he figures he owes it to them to at least give some of it a try. He tries some kiddie rides, finds them boring, tries some of the more intense roller coasters, almost throws up, and eventually decides to just stay on the ground. He ends up buying a ton of chocolate, falling in love with funnel cake, and getting really, really good at a bunch of carnival games.
* Audrey isn't really interested in any rides except for the Ferris Wheel because she wants to go with Evie. Evie happily obliges, although it takes a turn for the worst when she suddenly discovers she has a fear of heights. "Don't worry, it's perfectly safe-" Audrey reassures just as the Ferris Wheel makes an awful creaking noise, causing Evie to jolt. "Just tell me when it's over!"
* Evie made a lot of plans so that everyone knows what to do, where to meet up, and has money just in case. She put a lot of effort into planning things so that once they actually got to the park, she could relax and be secure in the knowledge that she had prepared for almost anything. She, Carlos, and Audrey team up to beat all the rigged carnival games, and spend a few hours thoroughly enraging all of the people running the game stands.
* For some reason, Carlos is AMAZING at whack-a-mole. He wins every time that he plays, getting a giant stuffed tiger that he plans on giving to Jay.
* Jay and Lonnie have to try the tourney-themed game, only to call the game a hoax to the person running the stand when they both do terrible. Audrey also happens to be really good at this game, and won't stop teasing them about it.
* Evie is amazing at the strongman game, amusing both her friends and random passerby everytime she hits the jackpot (which is just about every time).
* By the end of the day, these three alone have a gigantic store of large stuffed animals that they end up giving away about 70 percent of to random kids passing by, simply because they couldn't possibly carry all of them.
* Audrey and Evie get matching face paint.
* Jay and Harry occasionally take a break from their competition to see how everyone else is doing, and end up getting bombarded with stuffed animals.
* Jay ends up hanging out with Carlos and trying to beat that one tourney game for about an hour. After all of this, they have nothing to show for it but a small unicorn plush that Jay declares is his new good luck charm after they wander around for a little while and find a ride with absolutely no line.
* Gil just wants to hang out with all of his friends and ends up doing a little bit of everything and enjoying every second of it. At one point, he somehow gets mistaken for an employee and ends up in a clown costume in the Hall of Mirrors. When Uma finds him and gets the whole thing cleared up, she manages to convince the supervisor to pay Gil $20.
* Iria spends pretty much all his time wandering. They hang out with everyone at one point or another, and no one can really keep track of where they are. One second she's with Carlos playing whack-a-mole, the next they're at an ice cream stand with Ben all the way across the park. Eventually, everyone just stopped trying. At one point, they manage to get into the maintenance tunnels of the haunted house and pretend to be the Grim Reaper. By the time the manager of the park gets called about an extra grim reaper in the haunted house ride that people report moved like a real person, held a conversation, and threatened them for money, all that's left is a scythe and a black robe.
* Jay, Uma, Harry, and Iria compete to see who can go on the Tilt-a-Whirl the most times in a row. Harry and Iria are the first to go out, but they cheer Uma and Jay on from the sidelines. They eventually have to call a tie because neither of them can see straight after the 14th time in a row.
* Uma, Harry, Iria, and Gil go on one of the roller coasters together and pose for the camera when it takes pictures. No matter how hard they try, Iria always looks bored.
* Gil gets an awful sunburn that the others tease him about relentlessly.
* Gil, Evie, Jane, Ben, and Dizzy go on a bunch of kiddie rides together.
* Jay and Gil go on the haunted house ride together, and neither of them will admit afterward that they were clinging to each other in fear the whole time. Meanwhile, Harry, Uma, Audrey, and Evie can be heard laughing throughout the whole thing. Thankfully for all of them, Iria was no longer pretending to be a part of the ride.
* After Jay finds out just what Iria was up to for those two hours where no one knew where they were, he resolves to steal the security tapes for educational purposes. Harry, Uma, and Audrey are the distraction while Jay sneaks into the security room.
* Poor Ben, Gil, Jane, Dizzy, and Celia have no clue what's been going on this whole time, and at this point, they're all afraid to ask.
* However, the rest of the group collectively decides they should quit while they're ahead and leave a couple hours early before anyone figures out what they've all been up to. But first, they all grab a few more funnel cakes for the ride back, at which point Uma tries her best to fill everyone in on the whole story.
* The video tape is a treasured item for many years to come, and Carlos figures out a way to save it on as many devices as possible. It does become the ultimate friend group meme, along with the picture of Harry and Jay on the roller coaster. At any group gathering you can think of, that video and that photo will make an appearance. Movie night? Carlos "accidentally" clicks the wrong button. Halloween party? Well, what better time to show a feature of the Grim Reaper. Sleepover? Everyone wants to see them anyway, so why not? Pool party? Ben busts out a projector. Post-tourney or ROAR game pizza? Carlos will pull out his phone and everyone will crowd around it. Christmas Party? To the utter confusion of everyone else there, the previews for Elf will feature Harry and Jay on a roller coaster and Iria with a scythe.
* All in all, it was a successful trip to the amusement park, and everyone had a lot of fun. Although, they all agree it's probably best to wait a while before going again just in case anyone remembers the suspicious group of teenagers who kind-of-but-not-really scammed some employees and other guests out of more than a few dollars. They're... Honestly very lucky that they didn't get kicked out.
