Love is in the air and the water, oh AND CANDY

Maddie was trying not to be distracted by holding Laetus' hand. It did help that everything Laetus tended to get a laugh.

"If everyone enjoyed the fair the way you did, no one would get to enjoy it. It would be broken too soon."

The fair did have bumper cars, as it were. Maddie was all too excited to jump into a pretty purple one. While she didn't have a violent streak in the least, she had enjoyed roughhousing. She often summed that up to any animal instinct she may have had from transforming.

"I'm so going to win! Wait, can you win at bumper cars? Well, even if you can't, I'm gonna win!"

"Whoever can bump each other from the side or back gets a point. At the end, the person with the most points wins and then the other one owes them a favor!"

Maddie got situated in her cart, grabbing the wheel and trying to get a feel for the vehicle.

Suddenly she looked at him. "NO using portals, either!"

Maddie, sensing his weakness, was quick to ram into his side. Then back up, and hit into his side again. Then a third time.

"That's just bad luck, Laetus," she giggled.

She continued just backing up and hitting him gently, the stupid grin never leaving her face.

"I'm obliterating you."

Maddie screamed in pure delight. She turned her cart, all the while being hit several times, and backed up as quickly as she could.

It seemed her car didn't have as good of handling as his did.

"Mercy! Mercy!" she cried, car darting off to avoid him.

The person beside Laetus seemed like they were debating whether they should jump out or not. In the end, it was safer to stay beside the crazy person than get hit with a bunch of cars.

By the time the ride was over, Laetus has smashed Maddie's cars rear against the far wall. She was more than glad for the end of it. She stared into his eyes, pale face.

"I totally won," she said, despite the comically frightened look.
