Hi guys! So I'm doing this oneshot for a faithful (read: only) reader that actually gave me an idea. This is for the one and only Phoenixshadow666. She commented:
"Maybe something where whatever ship you want to choose is at a fair/carnival and one of them is scared of heights but the other is super enthusiastic about Ferris wheel so they overcome their fear n cute stuff"

So I'm going to try and fulfil this wish. I may change it up just a bit.

Enjoy😋😚

Thalia POV

Why do I fall victim to the charm of Puerto Rican goddesses?!

That's right. I have once again been persuaded by the devil woman that is Reyna. I don't like Fairs. Or places where people are in excess in general. I like solitude. And cuddle time with my lady. Preferably at the same time.

But now I find myself at a fair. Not just any fair no, The California State Fair. With stands, games, scary plushy prizes and worst of all: Children.

Children with sticky fingers, short attention spans and no sense of other people. I was about to unleash hell on brat who thought it was okay to run through my legs making me spill my yellow slushy. Yellow slushy. The only one they had left.

I felt a soft yet firm hand hold me back.

"Leave me be, Reyna! That kid needs to be shown the meaning in the 'Fields of Punishment'" I fumed at my captor.

"No. Besides we've still got one ride to try before we leave." She countered excitedly.

My face drained of colour making my freckles look black on my face. None of this was noticed by the excited ex-praetor, who was now dragging my limp body to the line at the Ferris wheel.

We had only been dating for a month and because of each of our busy schedules so we never really speak in person aside from IM's. This meant that I've never had time to tell her about my fear of heights.

Now I had two choices here. A) Tell her and let her get all protective mode thus destroying her maybe only chance of going on a Ferris wheel or B) Not tell her, get on the wheel and face my fear that has me thinking that I'll face certain doom in every second of that terror ride.

Hmmmm. Well I love option B, but I don't love option B. Okay emergency option C) escape while she's not looking and IM her from Alaska to explain why I had to save that specific seal. Yep. Only possible option.

I shook my head to clear my thoughts and started to look around for escape routes only to see the fact we were near the front of the line. Crap. I began hyperventilating. This was noticed by the Latina (timing much?)

"What's wrong Thalia? Breathe." At this she put my hand on her chest (not like that, get you heads out of the gutter) so I could feel her breathing "Feel this? Just try and copy me"

I slapped her hand away. "I'm fine! Besides that's for panic attacks. I'm not panicking I'm fine. I'm a daughter of Zeus and a lieutenant of Artemis dammit so yes, I'm fine!" I snapped.

"Thalia what's wrong? You were fine before we ca- ohhhh" she cut herself off as realisation dawned on her "Thals baby, Are you scared of heights?"

I nearly broke down at the humiliating prospect. She noticed and pulled me into a hug, petting my hair just the way I liked.

"Well, guess what. So am I" she stated proudly.

"Lies" I pulled away in disbelief.

"Nope. That's why I was excited to be here with you. So I could overcome it with you by my side."

"No kidding? What about all those times you flew by Pegasus during the war?"

"As you said it was a time of War. And I was in a very difficult position, so my mind was too clouded with plans and strategies to think about the fact that could fall to my death"

"Damn. Well what are we gonna do now?"

"What I said before. Except when we get down, we will both be changed women"

I nodded confident in her plan. We got in one of the chairs, brought the bar down across our laps and shared a chaste kiss of encouragement. We each clasped each others hand tightly and closed our eyes when the operator said the ride was about to start. My grip must've been painful to Reyna, but then again hers was too.

We both opened our eyes in confusion at the slow movement if the wheel. We, mainly I, expected 'swinging death wheel' not 'grandma wants to touch the clouds'

At the top, while it stopped for a small amount of time,we locked eyes and laughed, ignoring the beautiful view of the state in front of us.

*The Time Skip of Amazingness*

After we got down we laughed and giggled about it the whole way home.

I told her the story of when I first discovered it and she told me hers. It was honestly funny how scared we got of the Ferris wheel.

I believed we has conquered our fears and I relished in the feeling.

.... For about a week. Then Artemis, bless her, decided that she wanted to reward my hard work with an exclusive date for me and my "Thankfully, Female spouse." Her words.

This 'date' happened to be a lovely group hike around the lovely hill range. It actually turned out to be dinner in the sky.

That's right. When she said dress up thought "She's the Goddess" and then we realised, after our blindfolds were taken off, the we were suspended by a crane in the middle of the sky. Let's just say we also discovered the highest frequency a human scream can go.

981 words.

That was fun to write! I hope you liked it and please feel free to comment ideas and you should definitely follow Phoenixshadow666 if you aren't already.

Bye😋😘
