They all left Nick's room and went to the subway and jumped on a train to Slussen. When they got to Slussen they were going to take the boats to the park. After a short boat trip they were finally there. Nick offered to pay for Jennifer's tickets and Brian said that he would pay for Susanne's since AJ were determined on paying for Evelyn's. When they all got in AJ and Evelyn were gone in one second. They were going to check out the roller coaster.
Howie, Linda and Kevin wanted something to eat so they took off too. Then Brian asked if Susanne wanted to ride the pirate-ship with him so they went that away too. Now there was only Jennifer and Nick left.
"So what do you wanna do" Jennifer asked.
"Well, I love roller coasters and I would like to try this one out." Nick said shyly.
"Um, Nick I'm sorry but I don't ride roller coasters. But I can walk there with you and watch you ride it."
"No, that wouldn't be as much fun…"
"Maybe you could go with Susanne or Evelyn later?"
"Yeah, maybe, but why don't you ride them?"
"Well, to be honest…I'm too scared."
"Scared? You don't have to be….I'm there…" He said the last part with a big grin on his face."
"Yeah… I don't know why I am….I just am…I'm sorry. There's no way I would go in the free fall thing either."
"What's that?"
"It's a new attraction. You go very high up and then you get to watch the view for a while before they just let you fall right down in like two seconds. And while you're falling they take a picture and you get to see your expression afterwards. You can buy that pic. if you want to later."
"Oh really? I have to take Brian to that one later."
"So do you ride anything?"
"I'm in love with things that spin very fast….Like the whirlwind."
"Ok, then let's go ride it!!"
"But I don't think they have it here. But they have the music express, they play your music there sometimes. We can do that one instead."
"OK.."
They had to stand in line for a while. So they talked.
"So, what do you think of my friends so far?"
"Well at first I wondered how you could be friends with such airheads…but that was only the first expression. And now I think they to be great friends and that you're lucky to have them.
They seem pretty cool."
"Yeah, I think I'm lucky to have 'em too, I wouldn't give them up for anything."
They talked for a while longer. And then it was their turn to ride. They got a blue cart.
*At the same time by the roller coaster*
"Hey! That was awesome, but it was kinda small." AJ said.
"Wanna go again?"
"Hell yeah!!"
So they went to stand in line once again.
Brian and Susanne was still in the huge line that never seemed to end. They were talking about Leigh-Anne. Or more correctly, Brian was.
"You see, we have been together for so long now and I really love her. That's why I just can't break up with her. But I would love to be your friend." He said and gave her one of his famous smiles.
"Yeah, I understand, but can't we get to ride this sometime?!" She said a bit anticipated.
"I think we're up next." Brian said and put his arm on her shoulders.
Linda, Howie and Kevin had found themselves a cafeteria and Linda had bought a blue ice cream in a cone. Kevin wanted something more healthy so he ordered a plate of meatballs and mashed potatoes. Howie didn't want anything after all so he just took a coke.
"Hey, this reminds me of the time when Nick said: 'I tried to sniff some coke once but the ice-cubes got stuck up my nose!" Howie said. This made Linda laugh since she thought he sounded like an airhead.
Then they just sat there for a while before they started to talk. Linda got to tell how school in Sweden works and that they didn't have the same system as in America. This subject came up when Kevin asked if she was a cheerleader. She had to tell them that They didn't have cheerleaders in Sweden. Not for school teams anyway and that the kids weren't split in to groups between jocks and nerds. Sure there were groups but not the once that they had in America.
After a while they got tired of it and they went to look for the other guys and after a while they found Brian and Susanne coming out of the pirate ship.
"Hey you guys, wanna come and look for the others?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah sure." They both replied.
"We thought that we all could go and do one attraction together just for fun."
"Yeah sure, we could do the 'free fall' together" Susanne said.
"No, wait Jennifer will never do that…" Linda said.
"Oh, there's AJ and Evelyn!" Howie said pointing towards a man who sold popcorn.
"Hey BONE!!!" Brian yelled. The couple came walking to them.
"Hey guys." AJ said when he reached the group.
"Um…Linda….I really have to go…" Evelyn complained.
"Hey, guys can we go and find a bathroom for Evelyn?" Linda asked.
"Didn't she go just before we left?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah, but when she gets exited she really have to go and often too!!." Susanne explained.
"Ok, we'll do that and then we'll go look for Nick and Jennifer." Howie said.
