" So guys, what do ya wanna do?" I asked my twin and my new friend.
" Well.. I really wanna ride Lochness… were are, like, almost right next to it, lets go and ride it!" Nicki suggested. I knew that was what she was gonna say. Lochness was her fave ride in the entire park.
" Ok. I love that ride… we haven’t ridden it yet anyway." I told my very enthusiastic sister.
" Even if you had, I would have dragged your sorry butts on it anyway!!" Nicki told us, jokingly.
" Oh yeah! I’d like to see you make us!" I said, going along with one of her many jokes.
Tay just looked at us and laughed. " Hahaha… you guys remind me of the way that Ike, Zac, and I act a lot. It’s like being with them."
" That’s a good thing, right?" Nicki decided to ask a stupid question.
" No, Nicole… It’s the worst thing That he could possibly say…… Of course it’s a good thing!! "
" I was kidding Joey…… Geez. "
" I know you were, I was just teasing you…"
" Ok… where is the ride? "
" It’s right over there! Come on, lets go! " Nicki shrieked, full of excitement.
" Wow!!!!!! There is, like, no line! This is sooo cool! " I couldn’t believe it! There is ALWAYS a line for Lochness!
" I wanna sit by myself, in case some really hot guy happens to be by himself! " Figures… Nicole is boycrazy.
" Fine with me! I wanna sit with Tay anyway." Oops. I shouldn’t have said that. I hope he doesn’t think that I like him.
" Yeah…. I wanna sit with Joana… Who would wanna sit with you anyway?" He smiled. He was sooo cute!
" TAY!!!!!" I have been looking for you for the past 15 min!! " Why didn’t you tell me that you let Zac have your pager this morning? I paged you to let you know that I was coming back. Five minutes later, Zac asked me why I paged him… So, I came looking for you… So, he…. Joana! There are 2 of you! Oh my God! " Ike sputtered
" Hi Ike… This is my twin, Nicole. She’s all by herself.. why don’tyou ride with her? " I suggested.
Isaac stuck out his hand to shake Nicki’s. Nicki took his hand into hers.
" Hi. Nice to meet you Ike. You can call me Nicki. " She flashed him her most flirtatious smile.
" Nice to meet you too, Nicki. Lets ride! " He looked happy to be with us.
Tay and I looked at each other and without saying a word, we both knew that there was going be something very intimate between Ike and Nicki.
****************************************************************
As I sat down next to Joana, I realized that the look that was in Ike’s eyes as he looked at Nicole was different than any look that I have ever seen in his eyes. He never even looked at Clara that way. Wow… he must really like her.
I gave Joana a devilish smile. " Let’s eavesdrop on them. " I whispered in her ear.
She looked back at me, and the smile on her face made me melt.
" Ok " She whispered back into my ear, " Lets do it. "
Ike and Nicki were, like, staring into each others eyes. It was pathetic.
" So……What are your favorite qualities in a girl? " Nicole asked. I looked at Joana in surprise…
I was thinking, Does she always say things like that?, and Joana looked at me and nodded, rolling her eyes. Then she looked at me in shock at what had just happened…
" That was really weird…Nicki and I do that all the time. One of us will be thinking something, and we know what the other is thinking, and we’ll give an answer or start a conversation… It’s really weird. I have only been able to do that with her. "
" That’s really weird. Wow. There must be something about the two of us that we don’t know yet. Let’s try and figure it out this week! " I said.
" Sure! I would really like that! " She smiled at me again, those baby blue eyes flashing.
I then realized that the car was sitting at the top of the first drop. The only thing we could do now was look down and pray that we got off the ride alive.
Joana was laughing and smiling the whole way. Her face was saying it all: She was loving every second of the ride.
Joana and I both looked to the car ahead of us. The look in both Ike’s and Nicole’s eyes was all too familiar. They were obviously into eachother. Nicole was holding Isaac’s hand, and they were both staring at eachother.
" Gee, I wonder if they like each other? " I asked Joana, sarcastically.
" I’m not sure…… Hmm…… Maybe…, " She said with a hint of sarcasm.
Nicole shrieked with delight as the track turned upside-down. Joana did the same.
I looked at Joana and saw that there was finally happiness in her eyes. I smiled at her. She smiled back at me.
" The camera is coming up right after the next loop… Make a funny face or something….. I always do, " She told me.
" Ok. Sounds like fun! " As we turned the corner, and went down a small drop, Joana told me it was time to pose. She put her hands up in the air with peace signs. It looked cute. I did the same.
The ride came to a stop as it lurched into the building ahead of us.
As Joana and I climbed out of the car, we were both stopped dead in our tracks.
Ike and Nicki were still holding hands…. In front of everybody. One girl noticed that Ike was, well, Ike, and started crying because she saw Nicki. Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, the same girl noticed Joana. She screamed, ran away, and did not say a word.
"Sorry Joana… Don’t take it personally. Fans get kinda freaked when they see us with girls… They automatically assume we have girlfriends and we never get a chance to explain ourselves." I explained.
"Oh, don’t worry Tay, I figured that would happen sooner or later. It doesn’t bother me if it doesn’t bother you.." Joana comforted.
"Nah, it just kinda makes me feel bad to see fans get so upset over it." I said.
Joana had no respose. She took my hand, looked in my eyes, and we walked off the platform together.
*******************************************************************************
I knew Taylor was upset at what happened. I decided to take it upon myself to help him forget that ever happened. It was time for me to buy him a world famous Busch Garden’s cotton candy. They are HUGE!
"Tay, how would you like some cotton candy?"
"How can I say no to that?"
Tay and I walked over to the cotton candy stand together, with Isaac and Nicki following us.
"Hey, do either of you want some cotton candy?" I asked Ike and Nicki.
"No, but we are gonna go and get some ice cream in France… we’ll meet you at Roman Rapids in, um, an hour or so." Ike informed.
I looked at Tay. Neither of us actually wanted to know what they were planning on REALLY doing… but both of us guessed that kissing would be involved.
"Okay… we’ll see you there in a little bit." Tay said. And with that, Nicki and Ike walked off hand in hand towards France.
"Tay, do you really think we can trust those two together… alone.." I asked.
"I only hope so….. knowing Ike, he’ll be good… at least until Nicki flashes one of those flirty smiles you girls are so good at doing." Tay said.
I only smiled.
"See? I told you that girls are good at those! You just did one!"
"Whatever!" I said, still smiling.
"Look! You are still doing it! It’s so cute!"
"I am not cute!!" Tay moved closer towards me.
"That smile… Do you have any idea what that smile does to me?"
"No, what?"
"This."
Tay looked in my eyes, said nothing, and gently kissed my lips. I was speechless.
