One more time
“Let’s go to the amusement park,” the leader called out as the group pushed themselves into a van.
The gleeful cheer of all the members rocked the car as the driver covered his ears avoiding the screeches of the girls. As they parked the van, one girl stuck in the corner with a pout on her face as the members leave the vehicle until she leaped out.
She watched the group walked toward the entrance with her legs feeling like rubber. The sign outside the park scarred her mind like a demon ripping through a dream. The youngest member was taking a few steps before stopping and broke down on the asphalt.
I can’t admit my feelings to them. I rather die here.
The youngest of the previous generation came running over to push her towards the entrance. The resistance was strong with her feet gluing to the ground. Reina came running over to analyze the situation and dragged her through with the kitty’s scary demeanor.
Sayu passed out the passes to everyone and let them roam around the park trying out the rides. The youngest looked on from the bench her fears getting the worst of her. Sayu bit down on her lips as she feared that she wasn’t going to have fun sitting on the bench and walked over to talk to the younger member.
“Kudo~ why are you not having fun with the others?”
The leader pointed to the rides.
“Haunted house, I don’t like going there,” she replied.
Sayu pushed her toward the roller coaster so sher could keep her mind off the haunted house. The leader let her sit next to her to calm her nerves but her expression never changed. Sayu, in frustration, looked around the park for the next ride but the group was touring around quickly so she took her to the food court for ice cream.
Kudo’s sadness was stuck on her face as Sayu couldn’t leave her alone in the park while everyone else would have fun in the haunted house. She took out her cell phone and dialed the only number she knew.
“Hello Sayu.”
“Hey, are you busy?”
There was a few seconds pause before she came back to the phone.
“Not really, what do you need?” She asked.
“Can you come to the amusement park? I need you to help me out here.”
“As a leader, you need to take control. If you cannot control everyone…”
“I know that, but I need a personal favor because I cannot leave her alone in the park.”
“Why not take her in blindfolded?”
Ai began to figure out the problem and Sayu couldn’t be cunning enough to allow the former leader to walk into a trap. Sayu became desperate and gripped her phone tight.
“I’ll do anything, just please help me out,” The leader pleaded.
“Okay, but you will not force me into your game.”
She hung up the phone and dialed another number to a kitty, who was spinning from the spin o whirl. Reina picked up the phone and told the others to go on.
“Sayu, you called Ai-chan?”
“Yes, she will be here soon.”
Reina rolled her eyes at the leader and went back onto her phone.
“Okay, okay, what do you need me to do?” She asked.
Sayu explained the situation and Reina agreed hesitantly and headed toward the front of the park waiting for the former leader to walk through. The current leader looked back at Kudo with concern as she hoped Ai would help her rid of the fear or at least calm her nerves.
Half an hour passed by and the group was ready to enter into the haunted house. Sayu begged for five more minutes but everyone was overanxious to try out the haunted house and went ahead. The leader waited for the kitty to return with Ai and out of nowhere, the former leader appeared in a t-shirt and shorts smiling with the kitty.
“Sayu, I’m disappointed in you.” Ai voiced her displeasure being her.
“Yes, I know Ai-chan,” Sayu admitted in a low voice.
Reina wrapped a blindfold around the former leader as Sayu did the same for Kudo and escorted them into the dark room.
“Hey, I told you no games,” Ai howled toward the former leader.
“Just this one thing,” she whispered as the two left the room.
Ai removed the blindfold and removed the one on the younger female. Kudo panicked being the dark room and pounded the walls screaming her dissatisfaction. Ai grabbed the girl’s hand and led her through the dark path until something popped out in front of her and a masculine scream came from the elder female. Kudo screamed at both of them and curled up on the floor.
“Don’t cry, I’m here,” Ai calmly assured her while she tried standing up.
“I hate ghosts, I don’t know why they let me go in here, is it amusing to make me cry?” She questioned the former leader.
“Well… it is a test.”
“Test? I’m a member, why do they need to test me?” She inquired to the leader.
“We all have to face our fears. Every one of us faced this. You can cry and run away but if you can scare away the fear. You shall win over everyone.”
Kudo nodded as she balled up her fist and lead the tour of the haunted house with Ai following closely behind. Kudo hid her tears as she pushed through not being distracted by the people and props that made it scary while the former leader’s manly shriek was echoing until the end. Kudo pushed open the doors with all her energy and saw daylight.
“Finally.” She sighed to the group.
Ai walked out with her eyes bulging out and fell to the ground. Sayu and Reina picked her up off the ground and took her to the bench.
“You owe me a lot.” She gasped.
“Usa-chan peace,” Sayu muttered with her pose.
Ai grabbed her and took her to the side to let out her frustrations while the group congratulated the fearful Kudo for making through in one piece.
