A loud laugh was swallowed by the wind as Bette took Tina’s hand and struggled to bring it to her mouth. She planted a light kiss on bone white knuckles and told her to hang on. Soon, the ride was over and one very enthusiastic Tina jumped out of the car as soon as it had stopped. Tina stumbled a bit before planting her feet firmly beneath her body, waiting patiently for Bette to join her.

Bette walked slowly over to Tina, careful not to walk too fast lest she fall on her face. The Scrambler always got her, but she loved every minute of it. She stopped in front of Tina, a big, goofy smile planted on her face; and in her eyes there was a playfulness Tina had never before seen.

A laugh escaped Bette as she slung an arm around Tina. “Wasn’t that fun?” She looked down at her companion and noticed the expression of relief and mild nausea. Bette shook her head and looked around the park, eager to begin another adventure.

Tina chuckled and bit down on the nausea now vaguely gnawing at her stomach. She looked up at Bette and said, “I still don’t know how you got me on that ride, Bette Porter.”

Bette leaned down and whispered in her girlfriend’s ear, “I have many skills.”

Tina laughed out loud this time, bringing her hand down and slapping Bette lightly on the behind.

“Hey!’ Exclaimed Bette, jumping slightly from the sudden contact. “Watch yourself there, Ms. Kennard, those wandering hands will get you in trouble one day.”

Tina sported a cocky smirk and snaked her arm around Bette’s waist once more. “Is that a threat?’

Bette glanced over at Tina, her head tilted arrogantly. “Absolutely.”

Tina nodded and bit her lip to keep the smile from spreading across her face. They walked over to a vendor and bought two bottled waters, then meandered around the park for a few minutes.

Tina stopped abruptly, nearly causing Bette to fall into her. Bette looked down at Tina and drew her eyebrows together. “Tina, what’s the matter?” She asked, not bothering to look up and see what stopped the blonde in her tracks.

“So you say you’ve got skills, do you?” Asked Tina nonchalantly.
