When they get back to the hotel...the 10 guys and girls walk through the lobby...
Matt-Look...it's the bells!
Frankie-Don't EVEN start with that Matt!
Greg-I wanna ring it...
Chris-Dude...don't forget about me!!
Frankie-Uh...one time! And that's it...The guys all rang the bell and then they started walking away...
Greg-You should have rang it to Frankie!
Frankie-Uh guys? I think I left my jacket in the lobby...I'll meet you all over by the elevator?
Diana-Okay... Frankie walks into the lobby...looks around to make sure no one is watching and he creeps over to the bell and rings it...
Frankie-(Saying to himself) Woa...that IS cool! Just then an angry bellboy walks over...and takes BOTH bells and brings them into the backroom....
Jesse-Frankie...We heard that!!!
Frankie-Um...heard what?
Greg-Shut up...we know you rang the bell...come on and let's go upstairs... They go into the elevator and go upstairs...When they reach the rooms...it's 3:00 and they were all talking about their plans for the rest of the afternoon...
Jesse-I say we go to the boardwalk...They have some AWESOME funnel cake there!!
Kristen-And GREAT frenchfries...I agree with Jesse...The boardwalk is awesome...
Chris-I wanna go to the beach...Kristennn you're suppose to agree with meeee??? He says in a whining voice....
Kristen-Sorry babe...But don't worry...we're going to spend the whole day at the beach tomorrow...
Chris-Eh...okay...What do you guys think we should do tonight?
Greg-The funnel cake there is madd wakk! But the boardwalk's still cool...
Matt-What did you just say? Did you say "Matt whack??" Why do you wanna hit me??
Greg-Um no...MADD not Matt....
Matt-Why are you mad?
Greg-Dude...you're slower than I thought!
Frankie-Just ignore him Matt...the boy's experimenting with new words...I'm in with the boardwalk though...
Matt-So am I!
Chris-What do you girls think?
Kayla-It doesn't matter to me...
Kristen-I'll go...
Holly-Sure, why not?
Kelli-Yup yup!
Diana-Okayyyy! Lets go!
Kristen-Wait!!! You have GOT to be kidding?? Leave...now? I have to get ready...
Kayla-Hereeee we go again!
Kristen- Shut up Kayla!
Chris-Girls...no cat fights!
Greg-Aw...why not?
Matt-Greg...shut up!
Chris-But Kristen's right...we can't leave now! I have to get ready and my hair needs some serious work! Everyone sighs...
Kelli-Is 4:30 okay?
Kristen-Fine with me!
Chris-Okay...We'll come in when we're ready...
Greg-Okay...
Holly-See ya... The guys leave...and everyone gets ready...

An hour and a half later the girls hear a knock on the door... Kristen runs over to answer it and she opens the door..."Hey guys...I'm actually ready and it only took me a total of 83 minutes and 47 seconds to get ready...giving me  7 minutes and 13 seconds to sit around...and wait for you guys!
Matt-Wow...you're very good at math!
Kristen-Yup...I know! Well I figured that I take such a "long-ass time"...as Kayla would say...so I started timing myself and counting how long it took and that's how I'm just super smart!!! And I'm very hyper right now and ready to go!!!
Chris-Are you feeling okay?
Kristen-Yup...I'm just dandy!
Chris-O k a y...Let's go...I think she needs some air...Chris and Kristen walk out...followed by everyone else...Kayla and Jesse were walking next to eachother, but were pretty much just silent...

They decide to walk to the boardwalk (It's only about 5 minutes away walking...) so they tell their parents that they're leaving...

When they get there...they all buy wristbands...and head to Jesse's favorite ride...The Great White Roller Coaster...
Jesse-This ride is awesome! You go up 100 feet and you go STRAIGHT down!
Chris-Dude...count me out...
Kristen-Oh come on Chris!! What's the matter?
Greg-It's cause he's afraid of heightsss...He says in a singing way...
Chris-Nooo...that's not it...um the altitude is  just too high up for my hair...It will get ruined...
Kristen-Please come on with me? It will be fun!
Chris-I dunno...
Kristen-(Looks at Chris and gives him the puppy dog face)
Chris-Ohh noo...Not the puppy face...you KNOW I can't say no to that!!
Kristen-Well duh!
Chris-Okay...I'll go... They all run up the stairs to the line and they all sit down on the same cart...They were happy because no one else was on the ride because it was early... All of the guys and their girls sit next to them forcing Kayla to sit with Jesse...The ride starts and Matt screams...

As the ride is clicking its way to the top...they all scream....
Greg-DUDE!!! IS THIS RIDE SAFE???
Kelli-IT'S CREAKING...THAT CAN'T BE GOOD...
Chris-WOW!!! WE'RE HIGH UP! TOO HIGH UP!
Kristen-ARE YOU OKAY CHRIS??
Chris-UM...I THINK SO.... Chris grabs onto Kristen as the roller coaster lunges forward at a very fast speed and all everyone could hear was Matt's girly scream....
Greg-AHHHHH! DUDE...SHUT UP!!!!
Matt-I CAN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!! When the ride was over...they all got off and walked over to get something to drink...
Chris-That ride was pretty coo....
Holly-I'm guessing you liked it Matt?
Matt-Yea! That was fun!
Kayla-Can we go on bumper cars next?
Frankie-Okay...let's go... They head over to the bumper cars and everyone takes a separate car...
Chris-Now THIS is my type of ride...where you stay on the ground the whole time... The ride starts and they're off...... Greg was driving around trying to "bump" Holly...Kelli's car was stuck in the corner on the side....
Kelli-Stupid thing!!! You know what? She gets up and walks across the entire area where everyone was driving and everybody swerves as they almost hit her crossing...
Kelli-That's right...you BETTER not hit me little boy! She says yelling at the little 7 year old boy in the car... Meanwhile...Matt was being chased by this BIG fat girl...
Matt-Who are you and why are you chasing me??
Fat Girl-I'm Veronica and you're such a sexy guy!
Kelli-I know you just didn't call him "sexy" fatso??
Fat Girl-The name's Veronica...
Kelli-Did I ask? No don't think so...
Veronica-Wanna start something? She says chasing Kelli in the car....
Kelli-Puhleeze...You're not worth my time...Just stay away from Matt...Go home and eat some chicken! The fat girl glares at Kelli and drives away.... Meanwhile, Frankie is stuck in the middle and his car is surrounded by little kids and is going in circles....
Frankie-Ahh leave me alone! I'm getting dizzy...
Diana-(Screams from the other side) TURN THE WHEEL FRANKLIN!!!
Little Girl-Your name's Franklin??? That's my favorite show!
Little Boy-Me too! He's cool! Do you know him??? I wanna meet him! Take me to Franklin....
Frankie-FRANKIE....the name's Frankie...and NOOO I don't know Franklin...He says still spinning in circles... Kayla was "bumping" Jesse repeatedly until he got wedged into the corner...and she STILL kept on bumping him...
Jesse-Babycakes...stop!
Kayla-Ummm.....no!
Jesse-Please stop Mand....Uh I mean Kayla...
Kayla-WHAT did you just say? MANDY? Was that it?
Jesse-By accident! I swear! I meant Kayla...
Kayla-(Starts bumping into him even harder) Yea I'm sure! While all of this was going on...Chris and Kristen were racing around the track...passing the fat girl who was STILL chasing Matt...And Kelli who was yelling at the fat girl...passing spinning Frankie with little kids that think he's Franklin around him...and Diana who was trying to help Frankie...Greg trying to bump Holly...and Kayla practically murdering Jesse...
Kristen-Haa I'm gonna beat you Chris!
Chris-I don't think so...I'm in the lead!
Kristen-(Cuts off Chris and bumps him) Haaaaaaa...not anymore!
Chris-Hey! That wasn't fair! The two of them are laughing when the ride is over...They all get off and poor Frankie practically falls over...(because he's sooo dizzy)
Kelli-What do you guys wanna do next?
Kristen-Let's go on a water ride....
Matt-But don't you get wet on those rides?
Frankie-Nooo Noo Matt! They just call it a WATER ride for the heck of it...He says sarcastically....
Matt-HaHa Frankie...You're not funny.

They get on line for the "log flume." Greg and Holly got on the first log...followed by Matt and Kelli who are on the second...
Matt-Oh no! Here comes that Veronica girl...He says sitting in the log with Kelli...
Kelli-Quick! Hide in the log! Matt ducks down as the ride moves forward...And Matt was still hiding, even when she was out of sight...
Kelli-Um...you can come up now...
Matt-Phew....okay...He looks up to see a BIG hill they were about to go down....They both scream but of course Matt's was higher and louder... Next was Chris and Kristen...They got on the ride happily and they both scream the whole time they were on it....
Chris-My hair's gonna be wakk after this ride...
Kristen-You? My hair is gonna be wakk!!!
Chris-And uh...I forgot my gel...
Kristen-Oh don't worry! I have some you can use...
Chris-Okay...thanks babe!
Kristen-NO PROBLEMMMM she screams as they went down the 2nd big hill... Meanwhile...Kayla had pulled Diana aside and BEGGED her to go on the ride with her...so it would be the 4 of them...Frankie, Diana, Kayla and Jesse all sharing a log...Diana agreed with that and the 4 of them got on the ride...

When the ride ended they decided to get something to eat...
Chris-I want cotton candy!
Jesse-I want funnel cake!
Greg-I want french fries!
Matt-I want ice-cream!
Frankie-I want pop-corn!
Diana-All right boys...you can have whatever you want, as long as you behave...
Frankie-Thank you mother...
Diana-You're quite welcome Franklin... After eating ALL of their food, they walked around for a little while...
As they were walking, they pass a guy who was running a dunking booth...He was searching the crowd of people for some reason...
Man-Does anyone want to be the "dunkee?" Everybody walks by but Matt stops...
Matt-I have a brilliant idea! Ohhh Jesseeee????
Jesse-Ohhhhhh no....You're not getting me on THAT!
5 minutes later...Jesse was sitting up on the little bench in the dunking booth frowning...
Jesse-I can't BELIEVE you guys are making me do this!
Man-$1 a ball....Step right up and knock Jessica into the water...
Jesse-IT'S JESSE!
Man-Yea...step right up and knock Jenny into the water!
Jesse-NOO! JESSE! J-E-S-S-E!!!!
Kayla-OoOo...I just happen to have a dollar...why don't I try and hit it?
Jesse-Uh-oh...He says holding his nose... She gets the ball and throws it at the target and misses...
Jesse-Phew...thank you! I was worried you were gonna hit it...but I guess girls don't have as good of aim as guys...
Kayla-Uhhhh! She walks over to the target and smacks the little red dot...hitting Jesse into the freezing water...
Jesse-(Comes up from the water) Ahhhhhh...it's freezing!!!
Kayla-Oops...I'm sorry...awww too bad! I guess girls can tolerate cold water better than guys can...
Kelli-Go Kayla!

30 minutes later...after Jesse has been dunked several times, the guy lets Jesse leave...soaking wet...
Matt-Wasn't that fun??
Jesse-Tons! He says glaring at Matt...
Kristen-Hey! I got an idea...
Matt-You're beginning to sound like me...
Frankie-Uh-oh...thats not good!
Kristen-Hey Chris...Let's go on the bungee ride...
Chris-You mean that thing that flings you up in the air? Um no...I don't think so...
Kristen-Oh come on!!! Don't be a baby! It'll be fun! Who else wants to go? Greg will you go with me? Or how bout you Jesse? Is Frankie interested in this ride? Or Matt! You would LOVE it...or...
Chris-I'll go on!! He says right away...not wanting Kristen to go on with the other guys...
Kristen-Are you guys gonna come on?
Holly-Nah...we're just gonna chill around here...
Diana-We'll watch you!
Kristen-Okay! Let's go...she says pulling Chris over... They get bungeed up and they get pulled to the top... Kristen and Chris are screaming...even before they were actually bungeeing...
Chris-Badddd idea! Why couldn't we go on the peaceful tea-cup ride? Or the merry go round? Or the.... Just then the bungee let loose and they went flying forward and then back... On the ground everyone was watching the two of them scream their heads off...
Matt-Look at Chris! He's holding onto his hair...pathetic...
Greg-Kristen's holding onto her hair too...
Kayla-They're both pathetic... When the ride was over...the two of them got down...
Chris-That was the most AWESOME ride I've ever been on!
Kristen-Oh and what happened to "BADDD idea??" I thought you didn't want to go on...
Chris-Well I like it now!
Greg-OoOo...I know a ride we can all go on! The Loveee Boat! Where you ride around on those little swans in the dark...
Holly-I'm in!! She says quickly... They all head over to the ride and pair by pair they get on...Kayla and Jesse are still feeling a bit awkward together but he's hoping he can talk to her more on the ride... Kristen and Chris were first on the ride...They were sitting there...not really saying much until Chris leans over and tries to kiss Kristen...
Kristen-Ahhh! Get that bee away from me! She says swatting at a bee the air...
Chris-Where? He says leaning over a bit too much...He falls out of the swan and into the water...
Chris-Help! Help! I'm gonna drown!!!
Kristen-Um Chris hunny...Put your feet down...
Chris-(He does and stands up, realizing he's in 3 feet of water) "Oh...I knew that"...He climbs back into the swan... Holly and Greg...Diana and Frankie were all....yup you guessed it...making out! Matt and Kelli were sitting on the ride for a little bit and they were talking...Kelli asked Matt a question and there was no response from Matt...She looks over at him and sees he has fallen asleep...
Kelli-Matt! Matt! Wake up you fool!!
Matt-Huh? Where are we? Who are you?
Kelli-Excuse you? I'm KELLI!!!
Matt-Oh hi Kelli! What are you doing here?
Kelli-Matt...are you okay? We're on the Love Boat...you fell asleep...
Matt-That's because it's so dark in here...sorry... Meanwhile Kayla and Jesse were pretty much just sitting there in silence...
Jesse-So...Isn't this a fun ride?
Kayla-Nope...
Jesse-Isn't it a pretty night?
Kayla-Yes...
Jesse-Having fun?
Kayla-Eh...
Jesse-Can you say anything else besides one worded answers?
Kayla-Nope...
Jesse-Okay...so I guess I'll ask you yes or no questions then... Are you still mad at me?
Kayla-Maybe...
Jesse-Hmm...I don't like this game...Can't we just talk?
Kayla-Maybe...
Jesse-Uhh...well it's all your fault that we're in this fight...
Kayla-My fault? I didn't do anything...It was you...and that ugly man Mandy...It wasn't me at all!!
Jesse-HaHa..gotcha! I knew that would make you talk!
Kayla-HaHa...not funny...she says laughing...
Jesse-Yes it is...that's why you're laughing!
Kayla-Uh...Jesse, Jesse, Jesse...what AM i going to do with you?
Jesse-Not break up with me? Forgive me?
Kayla-Eh...I can possibly do that...if you get rid of that man...Mandy!
Jesse-She's gone!
Kayla-We can work something out! She says leaning on his shoulder... When the ride was over...
Greg-Dude...why are you all wet?
Chris-It's a long story!
Kristen-It's not THAT long...she says laughing...Tell them Chris!
Chris-No...
Kristen-Okay...then I will...He sorta fell out of the boat...and thought he would drown, until he realized it was 3 feet of water...
Frankie-Chris...you are one slow "dude" as you and Greg would say... They decide to play a few games and go on one more roller coaster later on...
Frankie-Diana! Want me to win you a prize?
Diana-OoO! What kind of prize? WAIT! I want that turtle! She says pointing to a big green stuffed turtle...
Frankie-Okay...He plays the water racing game and on his 2nd try...he finally wins the turtle...
Diana-Awww...I'm gonna name him Franklin!
Jesse-I wanna win something for Kayla...How about a goldfish??
Kayla-Okay! Jesse goes over to the goldfish game...plays it and immediately wins a goldfish for Kayla...
Kayla-I love him! I'm gonna name him Jesse Junior...Aw how cute!
Jesse-I like that name!
Greg-OoO...Look at that Holly! He says pointing to the game where you take the huge hammer and hit the target, to see how high you can make the number go up...
Holly-Cool! I want that teddy-bear!
Greg-I can win it...with my super strong powers...He walks over and the first time he misses the target completely...
Chris-(Shouts) I think the idea is to HIT the target...Just giving ya a few pointers!
Greg-Shut-up...I was just warming up...He swings it again and it goes all the way up to 105 (the highest) and all of the lights start flashing..."Oh yeah!! Who's the man??"
Jesse-Frankie's not!
Diana-What are you guys talking about?
Frankie-Nothing...he's just being stupid...which is relatively normal for Jesse...
Diana-Okay?
Greg gives Holly the huge teddy bear...
Holly-Guess what his name is?
Greg-Sexy Greg??
Holly-No...It's a teddy bear...It's not sexy...It's cute and cuddly...I'm calling it Greggy Pooh!
Greg-That name will do!
Chris-OoO Kristen look! He says pointing to a big sign that said "Get Henna tattoos here." You wanna do it?
Kristen-Do what?
Chris-Get henna tattoos...I can get a heart on my arm that says Kristen and you can do the same...
Kristen-Huh? I'll get a heart on my arm that says Kristen??
Chris-No...I mean...yours will say Chris...and mine will say Kristen...
Kristen-Okay...that's cool... They both walk over to the stand and they get their henna tattoos...While they are getting them...Matt plays the basketball game to try to win Kelli a cd...He wins and she goes to pick out a cd...
Matt-How bout Dream Stre...Before he could finish...he gets cut off when Kelli screams...
"Backstreet Boys! I want the BsB cd!"
Kelli-What'd you say Matt?
Matt-Oh...never mind... When the henna tattoos are finished...Kristen and Chris are admiring their tattoos...Jesse wants to go on this one roller coaster before they leave, so they all walk over to it...
Jesse-Kayla...wanna come on with me?
Kayla-Nah...not this one...I have to watch Jesse Junior...
Jesse-How bout you girls? He says looking at Kristen, Kelli, Holly and Diana... They all don't really feel like going on so they say no...
Jesse-Guys? Greg? Frankie? Matt? Chris? Please...I don't wanna go by myself...
Greg-Chris wants to go on with you...
Chris-I do?
Greg-Just go...so we can leave...
Chris-Uh...if it will shut Jesse up, then okay... They get in their seats on the car and they start talking after they are strapped in...
Chris-So...what kind of roller coaster is this?
Jesse-It's the biggest roller coaster in New Jersey...It goes upside down, 23 times!
Chris-I didn't know that! I thought it was some dumb stupid ride! I wanna get off! You know how I am with flipping rides!
Jesse-Don't worry about it! The ride didn't even start yet...
Chris-Okay...but I'm warning you dude... The ride starts and the guys are having fun until the end...When they get off...Chris looks a little pale and he is very dizzy...
Chris-Jesse...I don't feel too good...He says...throwing up on Jesse's shirt...
Jesse-My Abercrombie shirt! Ewwwww! I feel yucky!
Chris-I feel yucky too...He says holding his head up... When they get to everyone else...Jesse has puke on his shirt and Kristen notices that Chris isn't his tan self...but he looks very pale...
Kristen-Chris? Are you okay?
Jesse-No! He just threw up on me!
Chris-Can we go home?
Kristen-Yea...come on guys...let's go home...Awww my poor baby doesn't feel well...Don't worry...I'll take care of you!! I can act like your mommy!
Jesse-I wanna go home too..And take a long long LONG shower...This is gross...
Frankie-Why don't you just take off your shirt?
Kayla-Yea! Good idea Frankie!
Greg-You probably should take that shirt off...
Matt-And throw it away...
Kristen-Well...while we're on the subject of taking shirts off...I think you guys all should...It's pretty hot outside...and for the sake of not dehydrating...
Kelli-Nice try Kristen!
Diana-I already tried saying that to them awhile ago...But it didn't work...She says laughing... Jesse takes off his shirt and throws it into the dumpster...And they wave down a trolley to bring them back to the hotel because nurse Kristen thought that would be best for Chris...
