“Yeah, we’ve got most things set. Few more things to get ready, like some of the prizes and the leaderboards, but that shouldn’t be too much trouble.” Maple responds in a chipper tone. “Most contestants should be arriving soon, though some are already here.”
“Oh?” You sense around, finding that Videl and Sharpner are indeed here already. You even sense Tapion and Minotia nearby, with Minotia looking through some of the rides and attractions as his brother tags along. Gohan and Buu are close to the entrance, with Sachie and Zarid a bit behind them.
“Oh, hey! I see Latte and Java!” Cocoa points out, waving at her blonde- and black-haired friends. “Hmm… I can sense Atole and Hakka not too far away too.”
“Guess we better hurry before everyone else gets here.” You take Cocoa by the hand and lead her off to the Tunnel of Love. “Be back soon mom!”
“See ya. And don’t get too excited in there!” she warns with a smirk.
Cocoa blushes and you roll your eyes, getting the (thankfully short) line. As you wait, the two of you talk quietly, with Cocoa commenting, “You know, being honest? I used to find these a little overhyped.”
“Used to?” you ask with a raise of your eyebrow.
“Yeah, and a little cliche. But… after we went over how to score them, I think I understand the appeal a bit better.”
You giggle a little, the two of you up next. “It did end up a bit better than the initial few we had, yeah.”
“How DO you judge a couple kissing at the end? Do you grade on a curve?” Cocoa questions teasingly.
“Says miss ‘how well they pretend they kept their clothes on’.” you tease back, causing her to blush again.
“Y-yeah… fair…”
It was a pretty simple idea. Instead of trying to grade on something arbitrary, the two of you decided on…
>A. A simple button prompt at the end, one for each person, asking the pair if they enjoyed the ride>B. A couple questionnaire! Get them to ask each other questions during the ride and test how well they remember answers at the end>C. Something else?
