“It does! Come on, let’s go.” She leads you by hand towards the first suggestion, approaching the spooky-looking mansion together.
You and Cocoa make your way through, taking things slow. You do end up getting a little uneasy when you notice some silvery substances in one of the rooms, and Cocoa ends up hiding behind you when she hears the voices of her parents, but the two of you move past it. Mom and Jaki show up after the two of you exit, letting you know that while Neuros did end up escaping, he’s definitely GONE gone now, and won’t be returning any time soon.
You do wish to hear more, but let her know you’ll catch up later. Next up, the Ferris Wheel. You and Cocoa sit together as it takes the two of you up high, slowly and at a calming pace. Cocoa places an arm around you, her head on your shoulder, when the two of you reach the highest point. From there, you can see everyone just… relaxing, having fun, playing games and going on rides together. Cheelai seems to be actually leading Izzy, Tapion, Minotia, and the Para Para bros. around as they explore the rest of Dream Land. Videl and Sharpner are eating ice cream together, and looks like Penn’s getting some for Angela too, while Erasa spends time with Hado and Sala. Sachie and Zarid have gone into Laser Moon with Cocoa’s friends, and you see Gohan, Pantea, Kokoro, and the Ghouls all in the arcade. Mom and dad are even having a little moment… right in the food court, as dad stuffs his face.
And finally you and Cocoa take one last ride on the Tunnel of Love. “Got another few questions you wanna try for this one?” you ask your girlfriend as the two of you make your way through.
“Mmm… nah.” She holds you close, petting your hair gently. “Don’t think the tail trick’ll work twice in the same day.” Cocoa teases.
You blush and pout. “Hey!”
“Ah, but it gets the same result just having you think about it, doesn’t it?~” Cocoa kisses you on the cheek.
“L-look, just because I’ve trained the weaknes out of it doesn’t mean it’s prepared for a surprise like that…” you mumble.
“So you let your defenses down specifically for me?~” Cocoa asks. You respond by just resting your head on her shoulder and sighing. She eases up on the teasing, simply holding you close to her gently. As the ride nears the end, Cocoa speaks up again. “Hey… Peppa?”
