The flight was around one or two hours, you couldn't really tell with how fast time seemed to go. In the corner of your eye, you saw Ken's body bouncing up and down as he looked out the window as you started to descend.

"I really wanted to fly one of these...."

He said it so quietly, that you don't know if he meant to say it at all. Though you decided to just pretend that you didn't hear it as sad feelings started to enter your head a bit.

You would make this kid's day today.

The two of you quickly got off the plane and entered the main airport which was much smaller than the one in you had first arrived at. It was probably already close to midnight and you needed to get yourself to a hotel before you crashed from exhaustion. Luckily there were already Ubers patrolling around the airport so finding a ride didn't take all that long.

You had already researched a hotel that you would be staying at so that was all covered too. You just needed to sleep this night off.....

---

"Wake up, wake up! We're going to be late!"

You felt someone pushing you from side to side as your eyes slowly opened. You saw that this was Ken, but his bright eager face startled a bit, enough to get you awake and to your senses.

"Jesus, when did I go to sleep?"

"Oh, you fell asleep as soon as you walked in the door. The room is pretty boring and the only kids show on TV is Arthur." Ken complains with slight annoyance.

"But hurry up and get up, I want us to get there before the gates open at nine and it's already seven!"

"Relax kid where like a few blocks away, let me get showered and dress and well get a bus over there..." You yawn as you start to open your backpack and dump out your clothes onto your bed.

"Ughhhhh, well hurry up. I'm sick of watching Arthur." Ken grumbles before stomping back over to the T.V and plopping himself down on the carpet.

Once you were done and ready, you took Ken with you to go downstairs while you served yourself breakfast in the cafeteria. You felt a little bad eating in front of Ken though while you waited, it seems he took notice to this and just waved his hand.

"I don't get hungry ever." He says reassuringly.

Even so, you raced to finish your food as fast as you could before leaving the Hotel itself and heading to the nearest bus stop that would get you to Disneyland. Ken always seemed to race ahead of you as he motioned for you to hurry up while he bounced side to side most likely from anticipation.

The bus probably won't get here for ano-."

"Look there's the bus!" Ken exclaims while he points down the road.

Well shit.

Getting onto the bus with your passes, Ken made you sit in the front row saying that he wanted to be the first one off the bus upon arriving.

Though it didn't really all that much since the bus ride was only about five minutes anyway. The parking lots outside of Disneyland didn't seem all that full either, even though there was a lot of people around the entrance of the park you guess this would still be considered a slow day.

"The line isn't even that long we're going to get in soon!" Ken says with eagerness.

Just as he predicted, it took no time at all to get in with how fast it was to get through the gates.

Upon entering the main section of the park, even you were overwhelmed on where you should start, Ken was already bouncing up and down while giving endless suggestions.

"Let's go on the tower of terror, my friend said that he peed his pants when he went on that one because the drop was so scary, or we can go on Space Mountain since that's the one everyone always goes on first since it's the best ride in the park!"

It looked like Ken was looking onto you for guidance on where to start in this ginormous park.

You adult mega thrill rides

You remember being totally scared of all the big roller coasters when you first came to this park when you were younger, but after riding them once they weren't all that bad, so maybe it would be the same for Ken. Besides you were looking for a thrill too.

"Alright Ken, were going to try out that biggest rides here, starting with that one."
You say pointing at a towering roller-coaster with a giant drop that you could see from the entrance, which was the California Screamin.

The joy that Ken had earlier seemed to vanish, as he took one look at the ride and looked back at you with honest fear in his eyes.

"Why that one?"

"Didn't you want to ride all the rides?"

"I never said that." He states.

"Oh, Well we might as well since we're here. Or if you're not up to it we can just ride all the kiddy rides if that's more your style.

"NO! That's not it, I just thought we could work our way up is all, that's way to much for me to start with."

"Trust me kid, I thought it was scary too at first but it's honestly pretty fun, now I'm not taking no for an answer so come on." You say as you begin walking towards monster that dominates the park.

"Wait, Wait!"

You don't listen to Ken though, as you hear his fast footsteps behind you catching up to your pace.

Surprisingly the line for this ride wasn't all that long, you remember it taking ages to get on this, but you were the second ones to get on after the first group was finished.

With it being empty, you were able to grab an empty seat next to you for Ken since you went for the middle. He was careful for the bars to not to nick him as they dropped over his body, but with that out of the way, the two of you were ready to ride.

Looking over at Ken he looked as if he was right about to shit himself at any moment, seemingly shaking.

You slightly punch his shoulder as he looks over at you.

"Hey, I wouldn't make you go on this if I didn't think you would have fun alright?"

"Yeah....I trust you..."

Ken takes a few deep breathes as the ride starts to lurch forward with all the preparations ready and set.

You took the liberty of getting the seats in the far back to mitigate Ken's fear from the look of the drops, which seemed to be working as he only bothered to look down at his feet.

Upon the first major drop, you could start to hear the laughter of everybody else in front of you as you yourself started to laugh to try to cheer Ken up.

He laughed, but his seemed to be a much more forced and nervous one.

When it got to the very top and you look down even you were starting to get second thoughts since you hadn't ridden one of these things in years, but before you knew it your cart lurched forward as kinetic energy took over with your stomach immediately dropping with the cart.

Screams and laughter took over your ears as hands started to go up in glee as you did the same.

You tried to look over at Ken but the coaster kept on shaking you around that you decided to just keep looking forward to avoid a neck injury.

The ride didn't last as long as you were expecting it to, but that was probably on the account that you were having a blast on it, and once you had gotten off you already wanted to go on again.

Spotting Ken, you looked at his facial expression to see what he thought of the ride.

Emotionless at first, in some type of daze, though as soon as he made eye contact a grin from ear to ear went to his face.

"That was frickin awesome, I want to go on it again!" He yelled whilst jumping up and down.

"Maybe later, we still got another ride I want to try that's an even bigger drop."

"You don't mean...?"

"Yep!" you simply reply.

"Let's go!" This time it's Ken who takes the lead as you chase after him in order for the boundary to not yank him back. You knew he knew what you were referring to as he was heading directly towards the tower.

The tower of terror.

The line for this ride was about the same, though it seemed that it went by faster though you had no clue as to why.

This would be the first time riding this ride as even you were too scared to go on this thing when you were little no matter how much your friends had begged you too.

The scared look that Ken had when he was in line for last ride was mirrored on his face at this moment. Though this time there seemed to be a bit of determination in his eye as he looked at you.

"This ride isn't going to be scary, it's going to be fun!"

You were glad at his assessment as the two of you got in line. The group that you were tied to was a rather large family, though because of this they themselves including you were the only ones to ride at that given time. You were kind of lucky since you were riding these rides by yourself, you were an outlier in these large crowds that rode rides together, so there was always an empty seat somewhere since everyone else wanted to ride with their families and friends.

As the room darkened and the narrator began his speech, you saw Ken swaying his body back and forth a little as he looked all around the room with a smile on his face.

You, on the other hand, had no smile on your face as you were a little bit scared on what was to come, you didn't really enjoy the drops at roller coasters, and this one was probably going to be ten times that.

"Hey look, we can see the entire pa-." Ken was cut off as the elevator you all were sitting in drastically fell floors below you as everybody started screaming, including you. Ken, on the other hand, was laughing his ass off as the elevator kept on going up and down with drastic height differences. You hadn't eaten anything before hand but a sick feeling was starting to form in your stomach as you just wanted the ride to fucking end.

You actually ended up closing your eyes, in which Ken seemed to notice.

"Don't tell me you're scared!" He continued to laugh with the drops.

"No, I just feel sick..." You weakly reply.

When the ride finally comes to a stop, the grouped family and Ken get off laughing while you straggle behind trying not to vomit.

"Yeah kid, I think I need a break from rides for a little bit." You say while sitting on a bench.

"Aw really, did you feel that sick from it?" He asked with a mix of disappointment and worry.

"Just give me a couple of minutes kid...". You say while taking a few deep breathes to get your stomach back in functioning order.

"Man you were right though, I really did enjoy those scary rides, I think I want to ride all of them now if those two were the worst ones out of all of them. Let's get those done first before anything else today please?" Ken pleads.

"As long as you give me a few breaks in between Kid then you can get on anything you want today."

Ken smiled at this.

"O.K I understand, I'm going to go check out the nearest line to see how long the wait is O.K? I promise it won't be too much of a scary.

You groan while getting up to your feet.

"I have to come with you remember. Anyway, I'm ready to get anyway so let's do this."

"Hooray!"
