The place was crowded as it was a weekend, and the combination of sounds made by the people and the rides filled the air. The sky was dotted with clouds and although it was sunny, The ultraviolet rays weren't too harsh on the skin. The air was fresh, and I could smell the fragrance that the flowers gave off, The low blowing wind cooled the sweat that was on my skin and I noticed that although it was a bit crowded, it still did not overshadow the beauty of the place. I panted out a little out of exhaustion from climbing up the long roll of stairs and looked around.
-This is my sign to start exercising. This body was a lot weaker than my other one-
The trees were trimmed to perfection and the different coloured flowers were placed in ways that highlight the cobbled paths leading to the different sights. The gardener of the park seemed to prefer lavenders and Sunflowers, as it was the most common flower I saw in the park. Its sweet scent attracts a colourful range of butterflies. It easily caught my attention as they happened to be my favourite flowers.
-Although I never knew why. I just always loved those flowers. Being surrounded by them always managed to bring me a little peace-
I looked around, searching for an ice cream stall. Immediately after finding it, I walked towards it only to see some people already lining up for it. After making my place on the line, I Stretched my head to see further and saw that It was being manned by a Middle-aged Man in a pink apron with a drawing of an ice cream cone on it.
A few minutes later I was staring at the man's face which held a wide grin.
"Hello, What flavour will you be having" I heard him say with a cheery tone attempting to make his gruff voice sound nicer, but couldn't make his appearance seem any less scary as the large scar he had across his face rebutted his effort.
"Hi. Is it possible to have a taste of all of them before deciding? I can pay if it is an inconvenience to you?" I asked, lowing my gaze from his face in an attempt to make him more comfortable because at a young age I had observed that most people didn't like others scaring intently at their scars.
"No. It's not. You do not have to pay. It is part of our customer service". He said, handing a cup of plastic spoons.
"Ok," I said, taking the cup from him while still lowering my gaze.
"You can look, I don't really mind" He observed, making me raise my head
"I would like to try this one" I changed the topic, pointing at a flavour of Ice cream without a change in my Expression.
.....
After minutes of tasting, I finally decided on two flavours that stood out to me.
"I will take one scoop of Matcha and one scoop of vanilla Ice cream"
-The Matcha tea reminded me of the teas I used to brew-
"Alright. Will you like it in a cone or a cup?" He asked, still maintaining his smile.
"A cone," I said. He then scooped it and handed it to me.
"Thank you for your patronage. Please come again" He said, causing me to acknowledge him with a nod.
As I walked in the direction of the horses on the carousel, as it looked less frightening. I heard someone say
"I want to eat cotton candy now, Please brother" A voice begged in a whine.
Normally that wouldn't attract my attention, but what did was the voice that followed after.
"Alright let go" He sounded like Li Sicheng, My classmate. And I remember his voice clearly because it sounded pleasant.
"Excuse me miss could you step back a little you are blocking the path" His voice snapped me out of my thoughts
"Oh, Am sorry," I apologized as I moved back while turning to face him.
"Teirrah?" He questioned with disbelief.
"Hi," I said with a little wave of my hand.
"Wow so pretty," A little girl gasped making me lower my eyes down to her level. She wore a green gown with tights underneath. She looked about six years old with her brown hair tied up in pigtails. Their appearance was similar enough to prove that they were related.
Her hands were placed beside her cheeks, squeezing her face and making her eyes appear bigger.
-So cute-
"You look like my pretty doll. Doesn't she? Brother" She tugged at the sleeve of Li Sicheng.
"Yes, she does" He agreed with a flushed face.
"Thank you, You look really pretty too. I thought you were an Angel at first" I joked bending down to her height with a smile on my face.
-I really liked kids. Such innocent creatures with no way to hide their ill will-
She giggled slightly, swaying on her feet.
"Are you friends with my brother?" She asked
"We are classmates" I answered in a soft tone, standing up from my position.
She dragged her brother to her level and whispered something to him, causing him to turn bright red.
"Hmm" he coughed, standing up, "Are you here with your friends"
"No, I am here alone" I answered slightly fidgeting.
"Would you like to join us? We are experts at finding fun activities around here. Please come with us" She whined playfully, pleading as she widened her eyes. I could practically see it sparkle.
"Sure, but only if that's ok with your brother" I gazed at him.
-I didn't really want to say no which would hurt her feelings, so I directed it to her brother in hopes that he would say no as we didn't really know each other which would make it awkward-
"Well, Why Not" He surprisingly agreed with his hand around the back of his neck.
"Well, I am new here and don't really understand what's going on as my character never went to an amusement park, so it would be nice to have a navigator" I justified in my head.
"Come on, let's go to the shooting gallery," She laughed, practically jumping as she slipped her hands in mine while leading me in the opposite direction, completely forgetting about her desire for cotton candy.
*Behind The scenes 1*
What a polite young lady. Most of the people I meant either kept staring at my scar or asked questions about it.
Not that I was ashamed of my scar.
"It's always so hectic on a weekend. Want me to man the station now" Liam injected, making me look at him.
-God knows I couldn't. Not when it came from saving someone important to me-
"Don't worry I can handle it" I bragged flexing my muscles
"I don't know why I even bother" He bellowed, glaring at me, causing me to laugh.
-Yeah, No shame at all-
*Behind The Scenes 2*
"Ask her to come with us, pretty please brother" I whispered into my brother's ear.
-Yay... She said yes-
