>>5793607It wasn’t just a distraction tactic: trundling to a stop in one of the ample beachside parking spots, your announcement is nearly drowned out by the cacophony of the seaside amusement park looming over you like a sky of rainbow stars!
Flicking the kickstand out with your foot, you let Pepper get off first before disembarking yourself… taking in the sights, the two of you watch with childlike mirth as the rides and attractions draw you in like moths to a gaudy, funnel cake-scented flame!
“Man,” Pepper remarks as a <span class="mu-s">ROLLER COASTER</span> full of people speeds by on the snakelike tracks overhead, “I can’t remember the last time I came here!”
She’s barely reacting to the water either, so that’s a plus! Not that you mention it out loud… Spotting the pier’s famous <span class="mu-s">FERRIS WHEEL</span> near the end of the boardwalk, you also spot a few other attractions…
There’s the <span class="mu-s">CARNIVAL MIDWAY</span>, of course… tradition states that you’ve gotta win a prize for the lady, otherwise you’re no man at all! You can’t get a good view from the parking lot, but you’re pretty sure all the usual ripoffs are there!
Nestled among the rides sits a building coated in black and neon purple paint emanating bleeps and boops all over the boardwalk! <span class="mu-s">THE ARCADE…</span> If your memory serves you correctly, that’s also where the <span class="mu-s">MINI GOLF AND BATTING CAGES</span> are…
Not to be outdone is the <span class="mu-s">FOOD COURT</span>... you didn’t realize it until a few weeks ago, but amidst the usual carnival staples are a few decent restaurants… including the one owned by the family of a familiar bluish-haired amazon…
What would the pier be, however, without <span class="mu-s">THE RIDES?</span> <span class="mu-s">THE FERRIS WHEEL! THE TILT-A-WHIRL! BUMPER CARS! THE KRAKEN KOASTER!</span> Pepper likes her thrills, and she’ll definitely find some here! Not to mention if you slip the carny running the wheel a few bucks he might just make it ‘<span class="mu-i">break down</span>’ with you two near the top for a bit…
… and then there’s <span class="mu-s">UNDERNEATH THE PIER…</span> There’s no telling who or what you’ll find down there, but if you want some privacy to talk and snuggle, well… then again, there are safer places to make out…
“Alright!” Chirps Pepper as she coils her arm around yours, “<span class="mu-s">OPERATION: FIRST DATE</span> is still go! Time to razzle dazzle, chief!”
Where do you take her first?
<span class="mu-b">DATE STATUS: GOOD SO FAR!</span>
