"Ummm...Foster, are you sure that that's not going to kill me? Because it seriously looks like it is." Sophie smiled at Keefe and took his hand, leading him forward in the line. She had managed to convince him to come with her to an amusement park for a day-and she was seriously enjoying the look of fear on Keefe's face as he stared up at the roller coaster. To be fair, it was a pretty terrifying one, with loop-de-loops and sharp dips and a bunch of sharp turns. And, to make things even more fun, there were tunnels in which the intended victims-er, riders-could bask in the complete darkness! "Don't worry, I've been on it thousands of times. And I'm still alive, aren't I?" she reassured him. His expression said, 'If I didn't like you so much I'd be running back to the lost cities right now'. "Oh, come on," Sophie said. "Have I ever lied to you about your possible future death?" "No," he grumbled. "But...do you see those loop-de-whatever they're called?!" "Don't worry," she said as the line moved forward more. "I'll protect you. Besides, I doubt you'd fall out." "WHAT?!" he jerked back. "That's it, Foster, I am so backing out on this. You can ride the Ride of Doom yourself, thanks. I'd like to keep my lunch." "Are you scared?" she teased. Keefe winced. "No...yes," he admitted. "And I know, I know, that sounds stupid coming from a guy who's survived living with the Neverseen, but....they never had that." He gestured towards the roller coaster, wincing again as the screams of delight and fear were heard once more, as if that alone could prove its dangerousness. Before Sophie could reply, the cars on the track screeched to a halt, and people started getting out. "Um... why do some people look so pale Foster?" "It's probably their first time," she insisted. The line moved again and Sophie gave their tickets to the ticket man, who smiled and opened a car door for them to get in. Keefe didn't budge. "Oh, for god's sake, Keefe, you either get in or I shove you!" When he still didn't move she actually shoved him. He tumbled into the car and Sophie climbed in next to him. "Wait-what?!" he cried as the ticket guy slammed the bar in place in front of them. Sophie grinned. "Buckle up,'cause the fun's only just begun!"
