"Oh, Aj, look at that little panda bear. It's so cute." Theresa squealed, staring at the small booth where you have to knock down the pyramid of bottles.
"I could win that for you. One please." Aj said, putting a dollar on the counter.
"Aj, you know these things are rigged so you can win." She stated, laughing as he threw the ball and hit the bottles right on. They didn't even shake. "Told ya so!"
Aj just gave her a look and put another dollar down. The guy running the booth smirked, handing Aj the ball then walking over to flirt with Theresa. Aj again hit the pyramid square in the middle The bottles shook a little but refused to fall.
"Damn it," Aj cursed under his breath, putting down a ten dollar bill on the table.
"Aj, just don't worry about it..." Theresa started, but Aj cut her off.
"No I'm gonna win that damn bear. And you, buster, get your ass back over here and get me another damn ball." He growled, snatching the ball out of the young man's hand. He tried all ten times and the small bottle pyramid stood still as stone, mocking him silently.
"Hey mister, here the bear's on us. No one else has tried that hard to win something for their girlfriend." The booth manager said, handing the small stuffed panda to him.
"She's not my girlfriend." He muttered softly, handing the black and white bear to a giggling Theresa. They slowly walked away from the booth, a happy smirk on Theresa's lips.
"Thanks for the panda, Aj. You didn't have to try and get it for me."
"Hey it was only twelve bucks of frustration." Aj chuckled a little as well.

I walked quickly through the haunted house, trying to get out of there as fast as possible. I turned around to see if Nick and Kevin were still behind me. I was hoping at least Kevin would be caught up with me so I could talk to him a bit. But there was no one behind me.
"Kev? Nick? You guys this really isn't funny." I whispered loudly, getting majorly freaked out. "Guys, I'm never gonna speak to you again! Please don't do this to me!"
I took a deep breath and started walking again. I pasted the very gruesome vampire scene towards the insane doctor scene, wishing one of the guys was nearby so I wouldn't be so scared. Suddenly two arms wrapped around me, picking me up as I kicked and screamed for help.
"Nick, stop it. That was not funny." Kevin chuckled, walking in front of me. Nick sat me back down, laughing his ass off while giving Kevin a high-five.
"Man girl, you should have seen your face. It was priceless." Nick laughed, gasping for air and clutching his sides.
"That was not even slightly funny Nick!" I yelled at him, starting to walk away. I pushed past him and kept going even after Kevin called after me.
"Steph, wait up it was just a joke."
"Yeah, well it wasn't a very humorous one."
"Look I'm sorry Steph. I didn't mean to make you mad. God can't you take a joke." Nick stated, grabbing my shoulder. I pushed his hand off and kept walking, trying to ignore the grotesque wax figures to the right and left of me. Nick quickly stepped in front of me.
"Get out of the way Nick. I wanna get out of here!" I muttered, trying to go past him but he grabbed both my arms.
"Are you mad at me?"
"No, just slightly pissed you won't let me get out of here." I said, looking up into his crystal blue eyes. Suddenly all the lights flickered and went off. Nick and I both jumped and hugged onto each other.
"Nicky, get me out of here." I squeaked, my voice trembling slightly.
"Come on you two, follow me." I heard Kevin say. He sounded nearby but I couldn't tell where.
"Well it would kinda help if we could see you." I muttered, like the true wise ass I am, and let go of Nick to search through the darkness from Kevin's hand. Suddenly Kev's hand grabbed mine.
"Grab Nick's hand and we'll find a way out of here." Kevin ordered, holding my hand tightly and pulling me forwards slightly.
"Hey Nickers, give me your hand." I said, reaching around for him. Suddenly I grabbed something thick and covered by blue jeans and let me tell you it was not his hand!
"That ain't my hand, Babe." Nick half-squeaked and half-moaned, while what I was holding grew harder in my hand. I felt Nick grab my hand and squeezed it slightly.
"Oh God, sorry Nick." I whispered back, feeling Kevin start leading us out of the haunted house.
We walked around in the dark for about half an hour, while Nick would occasionally run his thumb over my knuckles or squeeze my hand softly.
Suddenly a bright burst of light filled whatever room we were in, blinding all three off us. When our eyes finally adjusted I notice the exit door just ahead of us.
"Yes, we're finally out of here." I smiled, dropping Kevin's hand and trying to let go of Nick's. He didn't let go until we were all the way outside. "It's okay Nickers, we're out now. You can let go of my hand."
"Oh, yeah, sorry." He blushed a little, meeting my eyes, causing me to blush as well.
**********
"So, Theresa, what were you dreaming about this morning when you kissed me?" Aj asked, as he pulled another bit of cotton candy off the stick that Theresa was holding.
"Oh, nothing. I don't remember." Theresa lied, blushing bright red.
"Uh huh, sure. Did it have anything to do with me?" Aj grinned, watching her face turn redder by the minute.
"No." Theresa whispered. Aj smirked and got an idea. He leaned in and lightly kissed her cheek.
"Are you sure didn't have anything to do with me?"
She shook her head furiously, blushing a new shade of fire engine red. He smirked again, this time giving her a peck on the lips.
"You absolutely sure?"
"Well, maybe it did." She whispered, hoarsely.
Alex still wasn't happy with the answer and leaned into a deep kiss, his tongue softly probing her mouth. He drew back slowly and whispered,
"You 100% sure this time?"
"Yes, I was dreaming about you!" She gave in, leaning into another one of his earth-shaking kisses.
************
"Hey, is that Theresa and Aj over there?" I asked, pointing at a couple entangled in a passionate kiss.
"It sure looks like them." Nick said, watching the two kiss.
"Well, let's go break them apart. I'm kinda wore out, I'm ready to go home." I started walking towards the couple slowly, Nick right behind me. "Umm, excuse me sir. We're with the PDA Police, please remove your hands and step away from my friend."
Theresa and Aj both jerked apart and look up at us. They both started giggling softly.
"We were wondering when you two were gonna come up for air." Nick laughed, watching Theresa's face flush once again and Aj give a mischievous smirk.
