Lakers vs. Wizards game didn't fit so they just have 2 parties in their groups at Six Flags because it made much more sense. This is Erica's suit. Ben's is just a nike gradient of bright blue to bright green with a black swoosh. I'm lazy, so there will be times where I say they rode all of the whatevers numerous times so I don't have to list them etc.

June 21st

Ben's POV:
We just arrived and decided to go ride some roller coasters. We bailed on the game because it was way expensive and we wanted to go on a day trip, not a 2 hour game instead. Gabe, Griff, Jawa, Chip, Mike and I were having a blast already. I hadn't seen Erica, Zoe, Ashley, Kiley, or Ava since we arrived, since they were off doing their own things. I didn't mind cuz Saturdays are for the boys. Since we were all busy the day before, it was our Saturday, even though it wasn't. We were having a blast and we'd just got there. We'd ridden the Wild One, which is super long. It was awesome! 

"Where to next?" I asked. 

Griff smiled, "Arcade?" We all nodded. 

We walked there and played all kinds of arcade games. There were electronic games, Xboxes, Playstations, and carnival type games. (Don't know what games there are so I'm just using games I like/know well. I know they don't have Xboxes and Playstations but I wanted them to so the do in this. Don't judge.) They had a big flappy bird game and we all played it for a while to see who could get the highest score. I got second but as usual, Griff destroyed us all. He was way better than us. We went to the Xboxes and played Minecraft for like 2 and a half hours and we built all kinds of stuff. We built cities and memes and images of us on missions. 

We saved the worlds and I texted them to the group chat and the girls just sent snaps of them rolling their eyes with the caption 'Lol.' I knew it was sarcasm but it was still funny. We played run from the beast, bedwars, hide and seek, and all kinds of other maps. 

My phone buzzed. Erica texted, 'Wanna grab some lunch with all of us?' 

"Hey guys, Erica and the girls wanna know if we wanna grab some lunch. I'm down, but what do you guys think?" Everyone was down. 

"All of them?" Jawa asked. 

"Yeah... why? You wanna see your girlfriend?" He blushed and we laughed. 

"I-I-I don't know what you're talking about." He stuttered. Mike spoke up. 

"Jawa, we love you bro, you're one of the homies, but, it's kinda obvious that you're into Jessica. Dude it's okay to admit it." He pointed to each of us as he said who we were with. 

"I love Zoe, Ben loves Erica, Gabe loves Addison (his girlfriend), Griff loves Kelsey (his girlfriend), and Chip loves Rebecca. We all like someone and so we can tell you like her. It's okay to admit it dude. We're here for you." 

"Thanks guys. Do you think she likes me?" Now it was my turn. 

"I'm pretty sure, yeah. Lemme see your phone a sec." He looked confused but unlocked his phone and handed it to me. I opened their text conversation. I read it.

Jessica: Heyyy ✌

Jawa: Heyy. What's up? 

Jessica: Nothin much, u?

Jawa: Just chillin 😎

Jessica: Nice

*next day*

Jessica: Hey Jawa, wanna hang out later? I wanna talk to you and I wanna ask you a question ❤

Jawa: Yeah, sounds fun! How about after the parties? 

Jessica: Perfect! Can't wait! 😁

Jawa: Sweet! See you then! 👍

I smiled and looked at Jawa. "She literally sent a heart and wants to ask you 'a question,' on your own, just the two of you. I'd say my best guess is she likes you and wants to tell you. If she blushes before talking, tell her how you feel first because girls love when the guys tell them before they do. If she say yes to being your girl, hug her because they really like that too." He grinned. 

"Thanks for the help guys! I couldn't do it without you!" Erica sent an impatient snap. 'Hello? Lunch?' 

"Does that mean we're good for lunch? They're getting impatient." They all nodded. 

We sent a group selfie. 'Yup. Food court area good?' 

They sent a selfie of them already there tapping their wrists. 'Yeah, hurry up.' 

We rushed over. Thankfully we were not far. We were at the arcade which was really close to the Wild One, where most of the restaurants were. We got there and I saw my sisters, Zoe, and Jessica, but I couldn't find Erica. 

Weird, where is she? She can't be far. She's probably gonna appear behind me and scare me. 

I walked over to get a burger and some fries. I turned around and walked to the tables where my friends were. I set my tray down and sat next to Mike. Zoe, Griff, Gabe, and Chip were at our table and My sisters and Jessica were at the next table over. I saw Jawa awkwardly walk over and sit next to her. They both blushed and started talking. I was gonna listen but someone tapped my shoulder. I jumped. I heard a sweet and gentle laugh. Erica was sitting right next to me and I hadn't even noticed. 

How did I miss her? I'm so blind! 

"God, Erica when are you gonna stop doing that?" She laughed again. 

"When it stops scaring you dingus!" I laughed and shook my head. 

I call her my love, babe, baby, sweetie, sweetheart, honey. But she calls me doofus, wisenheimer, dingus, etc. 

"I call you sweet names and you just call me names. How does that work?" She laughed again. 

"Because I could destroy you if you called me names." 

"Now wait just one minute. I could take you! I did at my party when you kidnapped me to take me there! And I almost won, even with Mike and Zoe helping you!" She smiled at me. 

"You could. But you wouldn't. Just like I wouldn't. I love you too much and wouldn't want to hurt you." I stopped. She had a point. 

"Touché." We both laughed. 

I stretched and put my arm on her shoulder. She smiled and looked up at me. I leaned down and kissed her. It was short but sweet. I pulled away and rested my forehead on hers and just stared into her eyes. 

"Love you." She smiled at me. 

"Love you more." 

"You have to win at everything, don't you." I joked. 

She giggled and pulled away. We looked up to find everyone staring at us. 

Well, this is awkward. 

"Yes? Is there a problem?" Mike laughed. 

"No, it's just cute how you two get lost with each other that you have no idea what's going on around you." I blushed. 

They all laughed at how true it was, but so did me and Erica. It was pretty cute. We finished up our lunch and I realized Jawa had his arm around Jessica. 

Guess it went well then.

Jawa's POV: 
I walked over to her.

"Hey Jessica. You uh, wanted to talk to me? I know we said later, but I wanna tell you something and I don't wanna wait anymore." She blushed and started to stutter. 

"Oh uh yeah I did but um I uh..." I laughed and so did she. 

"Jessica, I really like you. You're beautiful and smart and sweet and I love spending time with you. I was gonna tell you later but I can't wait anymore. Do you feel the same? And if you do, would you be my girlfriend?" Her jaw dropped. 

"Really? I do and that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I would love to be your girlfriend!" I was so excited. 

"Yesss!!! Oh, oops. That's fantastic!" I hugged her and she hugged back. She smelled like vanilla and oranges. (Don't know why I chose those scents but, oh well *shrugs*) I was thrilled and so was she. I was so glad that ended so well! Score! I wrapped my arm around her and stayed like that until we left. 

I could get used to this! She's so amazing! Holy sh!t I'm so lucky!

Jessica's POV:
I was just starting to eat my lunch, when Jawa walked over and sat down next to me! 

"Hey Jessica. You uh, wanted to talk to me? I know we said later, but I wanna tell you something and I don't wanna wait anymore." I blushed. I tried to talk but could only stutter. 

"Oh uh yeah I did but um I uh..." We both laughed. 

"Jessica, I really like you. You're beautiful and smart and sweet and I love spending time with you. I was gonna tell you later but I can't wait anymore. Do you feel the same? And if you do, would you be my girlfriend?" 

WHAT!?! OMG YES!!! 

"Really? I do and that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I would love to be your girlfriend!" I was really happy. 

"Yesss!!! Oh, oops. That's fantastic!" I him hugged and he hugged back. He smelled like cinnamon. (Don't know why I chose this scent either but, oh well *shrugs again*) I was ecstatic! 

Ben's POV: 
We finished lunch at 1:00 and we were trying to figure out what to do. The park closed at 10:00 so we still had a while. 

"We can split up into our previous groups again, we can go with a few people, or we can go as one big group." Mike suggested. 

We still hadn't agreed 5 minutes later. I had an idea. 

"How about we go with the 2 groups until 5:00. We then go as one group for 2 hours, and then we go with a few people from 7:00-10:00?" 

We agreed this would work really well because everyone got what they wanted at some point. We split up. I don't know what they did but we rode the roller coasters a ton. It was 3:00 when we decided we would throw up if we rode them anymore. We had done most of the stuff, except for one big thing. 

"Water park?" I asked. 

They all screamed, and I mean screamed, "Let's go!!! Water park!!!" 

We ran toward it. We all wore our swim trunks as shorts and just had a small drawstring backpack to throw our shirts and technology in. We ripped off our shirts, shoes and socks. (Gonna be honest I made the funniest typo that I'm glad I caught. Instead of ripping off their shirts etc., they ripped off, well, let's just say I almost forgot a rather important 'r' in shirt. Lol I'm literally dying!) 

We threw everything in the back and resumed our sprint. We probably looked ridiculous, but we were older teens, so no one really cared. Sure we were a group of 6 teenage-ish boys screaming and charging at the water park, but oh well. We wanted to enjoy ourselves and didn't care how dumb we looked. Which was good because I'm sure we looked plain stupid. 

I know this because Erica and the girls were also heading that way and got of video of us in our swim trunks running at the park screaming. There's also me slapping myself in the face and rolling my eyes as I laughed when I noticed them all laughing as Erica was recording us. It's really quite funny, but of course embarrassing. 

We got our locker and opened it up to put our stuff in and closed it. The girls took a little longer to change, and they threw their stuff in the locker next to ours. 

"Where are you dingbats headed?" I didn't see who said it, but I knew. "

Gee, did you hear something guys?" Mike caught on. 

"I heard someone calling some dingbats, but that's not us, so they must not have been talking to us." She realized we didn't appreciate being called dingbats. 

"So petty." She grumbled "Fine. Where are you guys headed?" I turned around and saw her in a really cute adidas bikini. It was black and had three white stripes on the sides. It was simple but really cool. 

She looks so hot right now! OH MY GOD! She is so strong and beautiful! 

She saw me looking at her suit and we both blushed a little. 

"Oh, hey Erica! We are gonna ride the big water slides, go to the surfing simulator thingy, and go to the wave pool. You can join us though." She thought a second. 

"Maybe later but we're going to the lazy river to relax and talk first. We might join you later though. You have you phones in case we need to contact you?" I checked for my phone and apple watch. They did the same. The guys nodded. 

"We're good. You?" The girls nodded at her. 

"Looks like we're all set then. Don't get hurt, kidnapped, killed, or arrested please." I laughed. I rarely see the worried mom side of Erica. 

"Erica, babe, we'll be fine. And I could say the same for you. We're spies, we should be okay."  She ruffled my hair. 

"Okay. Have fun. Meet at the wave simulators at 5:00?" 

"Yup. Sounds good." Mike said. We ran to the slides and rode them each like 12 times. We raced and did all kinds of fun stuff. It was 3:55 and we decided to go to the wave pool for around 25 minutes. We jumped, played, swam in it for a while before I had an idea. It was 4:10 so we had ten ish minutes before we were going 'surfing.' 

"Marco Polo?" Mike asked. 

Gabe said, "Sweet. Let's do it." 

Everyone else agreed. We played but we were soon bored again so we went to the lazy river for fun and to pass some time. It was really peaceful. 

We went over to the Flowrider wave simulators. There were 8 but we only used 3 of them because we wanted to leave some for the other people and while 3 were going, the other 3 recorded. (We were gonna post them on social media.) I loved surfing and so did all of my friends. We listened to the instructions and we soon got to try. We did grabs, spins, and all kinds of fun tricks. The girls walked over in time to see me do a flip and land on the board. Then I spun and jumped way up, did a double twist, did a backflip, and landed. Everyone started cheering. I blushed. 

"You guys wanna try? We'll pair up so we can help you if we need to." I asked the girls. 

Jessica nodded and Jawa waved her over. Griff and Ashley went together. Kiley and Chip paired up and so did Gabe and Ava. And of course me and Erica were together, along with Mike and Zoe. 

No one was around besides us so each pair got one to share and there were still 2 more for anyone else who might come. I showed Erica the basics, feet positioning, balance, and stance. She got on and did it perfectly, though I had expected this. But when she got on the "waves," she almost fell. I caught her and showed her again. 

No luck. 

She was used to being the best at everything so things like skiing and surfing really frustrated her. Especially when we were all better than her. I helped her more and she was able to do it on her own. Not big flashy tricks like the guys and my sister Ashley, but she didn't fall on her face and get hurt, so I was proud. 

"Good job baby! Try a grab!" 

It was perfect. She couldn't do what I did, but she was just below Mike, Griff, Gabe, Ashley, and me. She came down and high fived me. I hugged her and picked her up. I spun her around and grinned. 

"You did fantastic! And you improved so much! You crushed it!" She smiled and blushed. 

"Thanks!" I gave her a piggyback ride back to the start. 

She put her arms around my neck and  her legs around my waist. I think she was scared that I'd drop her. I didn't though. I pretended like I was gonna to mess with her and received a bruise on my arm from her to show her "gratitude." 

I set her down and realized it would be 5:45 ish so we had an hour and 15 minutes until we split up. We spent a lot of time at the surfing thing. 

At 6:15 ish, we decided to go ride a few water slides and then the lazy river again. If we had time, we would ride some roller coasters too. At 7:45 ish we'd split up into small groups or pairs. (Jawa/Jessica, Mike/Zoe, Gabe/Griff/Chip, Kiley/Ashley/Ava, and me/Erica) We'd wanted to stay as a big group longer so we did. 

We would probably spend the rest of the time with our partner(s), but I was fine with that. 2 hours and 15 minutes with Erica at an amusement park would be awesome! 

We rode the roller coasters and she held my hand the whole time. I remember looking over and seeing a hint of fear in her eyes. 

"You okay?" She nodded. 

"I just get a little scared the first time on each roller coaster." 

"Oh, that makes sense. Because you don't know what's gonna happen?" She nodded again. I side hugged her. 

"It's okay babe, I'm here for you." 

She smiled and set her head on my shoulder. When we got down, she jumped on my back and asked me to take her to the arcade and carnival games. It was hard but I got there around 8:20. 

We only had an hour and 40 minutes, but that was a lot compared to some of our other dates. We played carnival games for an hour and we had a blast. I won her a big stuffed tiger, cheetah, and black panther. 

She carried one as I struggled with the other 2. It was tiring, but she was happy and that was what was important. We got Dippin' Dots and sat on the bench looking out at the water. Her head was against mine and I was thrilled. We asked Catherine and Alex to pick us up because we rode with our other friends here but had no space with her 3 huge animals. They agreed and were there not long after. We threw the animals in the back row and sat in the middle of their SUV. Erica and I were next to each other and I remember us leaning on each other and drifting off to sleep.

Bam! #26, done! @Alpha12321 only 2 more. Erica's party and wedding. It's almost over. LOL, then it's mission time! 30 chapters later, the action can finally begin! Gn y'all I'm going to bed.
