Private Waterside Amusements

"Oh ho ho ho! What a lovely day to come to the amusement park! Now whose great idea was it to come here again?" perked up Izumi as their little family group tagging closely behind. With everything going on back at the academy, Izumi thought it would be a nice diversion for her daughter Rin and... sort-of-son Neon do something together! And what is better than going to the old amusement park?

"Mhmmm... wasn't it your idea mom?" dryily retorted the younger tanuki glossing over their phone

"Oh why... you right my dearest daughter. Your mother is full of great ideas isn't she?" gloated Izumi as she begged the question, tilting her head up proudly and fanning herself with her hand fan

"Great ideas like how you got drunk and tried to pick a fight with a squirrel?" coolly reminded Rin, putting her phone away as she gives her mother a mischievious smirk.

"Ahhh- bhaa baa baa! Haa ha... I thought we promised never to speak of that ever again of darling Rin~" awkwardly laughed Izumi whom is now hiding her face behind her fan out of embarrassment.

"Mhmmm~ I had my fingers crossed." announced Rin, beaming a smile as she pulls out her right hand from her back, her index and middle fingers crossed as she proudly holds them up

"Oh you are as conniving as kitsune you know that? No offence Neon." mockingly lambasted Izumi, before she looked to Neon apologetically.

After a brief chuckle, Rin also looked back to Neon as well with a big grin on her face still.

"Oh have you Neon? Well as teacher and parent condones such trouble-making way... but-" Izumi then gives Neon a smirk "-thats only if you get careless and get caught."

"Wow, how irresponsible mom." joked Rin

"Anyway, let us head on inside and enjoy the attractions." said Izumi as they head on over to the entrance. After the attendant allowed entry, Izumi and Rin waltz into the amusement and consult a map placed close to the entrance.

"Alright where should we head off first... I say we go to-" before Izumi could finish she found herself quickly interupped

"The roller coaster." said Rin, already making their way to the roller coaster

"Oh okey! Roller coaster it is!" agreed Izumi as they hurry up to catch up with Rin

Rin was already quick to to lead the pack to their intended destination but stopped short at what looked like haunted house attraction feeting a bit grinning face of some murderous clown.

"Oh, they have a haunted house here?" piped Rin, looking to the attraction with curiosity

"Looks like it. Did you want to check it out?" inquired up Izumi

"Nah, looks like its for babies." answered Rin whom turned their head away

"Oh oh oh? Too scared daughter?" egged on Izumi

"What? Am not." insisted Rin, crossing their arms and raising the head defiently

"Hee hee hee... what about you Neon? Do you feel brave enough to enter a killer clown themed haunted house?" asked Izumi

"Oh, didn't realize you all had coulrophobia." mockingly pouted Izumi, a bit disappointed that Neon had no interest to check out the haunted house attraction either but they were not going to try to force it.

"Oh you and your big fancy words mom. Say Neon have you even been on a roller coaster before? Or anything like it?" piped up Rin, spinning around and walking backwards as they turn to ask Neon the question.

As Rin brought up the question, Izumi looked over to Neon with keen interest. There was much in his world that must have been so different to their's that she wondered the same thing.

"Or even just amusement parks like this one?" added Izumi.

"Oh, that sounds like way more fun!" piped up Rin

"And a bit more dangerous." said Izumi as they all arrived at the end of the line of the roller coaster.

Judging from the length of the line it will quite of bit of wait. Yet at the same, the screams of people on the ride sounded like it will be worth the wait.

"Alright well, looks like we have some time. How is school going for the both of you?" inquired Izumi, making small talk to pass the time.

Rin's only response was an indifferent shrug and went back to checking her phone. With Rin's apparent answer, Izumi turned to hear how Neon was coping with school.

"Ah thats right. Looks like your powers had other plans for you hrmm?" said Izumi, whom couldn't help but think of Neon's evolution having such convenient timing. But it was probably for the best that it happened how than later. "Well staying a little bit longer for power classes isn't a bad thing right?"

After some more idle chatter, the line slowly trudged on. What felt like almost an eternity turned out to be just 20-ish minutes. But at least they were close enough to the launch bay to watch the carts load up with passengers and speed off. Looks like it wont be that much longer until they will be let on.

"Huh, I swear we would have been waiting longer to get on the ride based on the line outside. Okey where do you guys want to sit? Up in the front? Or just anywhere we can get a seat?" asked Izumi, observing how the line for the first car is a bit longer than the rest of the carts. Obviously the front is the most thrilling but they could gett on the ride sooner if take the less popular carts to the back.

"I vote we all wait for a spot in the front most seat. Its the only real way to experience a roller coaster. What about you Neon? Do you want to ride up in the front?" asked Rin as they put away their phone which they were looking at nearly the entire time they were waiting.
