Kip had given up on watching his trainer, he was dizzy enough already just listeing to him. The otter pokemon sigh and toyed with his shell a little more. A startled cry and a crash just made Kip hunker down further and scowl. Couldn’t his trainer just decide on something and leave? Or at least put him in his pokeball? This was embarrassing… Daisuke for his part caught his reflection in the mirror in the hall and eyed the strands of hair hanging across his forehead. Smoothing them back with an irritated frown, he also tugged at his shirt and pulled up his pants so the pockets would pull one’s eyes down to his asset. What was he doing? It wasn’t like it was a date or anything… he was just meeting up with Takeshi for some fun. After the tough last few month they deserved a fun day. He quickly mused his blue hair and ruffled his shirt a bit, the pants… the pants stayed… The teen sighed and scratched at the base of his neck. His eyes lifted and fell on the drapes framing the one large window in his apartment. The drapes weren’t particularly spectacular and really they clashed with the paint in the room but… They were blue… It was Takeshi’s favorite color and the boy’s mother had sent him a pair when he’d left out on his own as well as a pair to her own son. Something about them setting off on their journey together… whatever that meant. There wasn’t much togetherness considering they’d met up for the first time in a long time, but he’d kept and put them up, Justas a little reminder. Sometimes over the last few years he’d wanted to take them down and replace them with something a bit more tasteful but that had never happened. Daisuke was to nostalgic for his own good. Heaving out a sigh as if a two ton weight was attached to his heart, Daisuke scooped up his keys and bent down to slip on his shoes. A pokeball clacked against the uneven wooden floor a bumped into his knuckles. Osh? Kip waddled over and placed his paws on the ball. “Of course buddy.” Daisuke finished of the last knot and picked up the ball. He tucked it onto his belt after the pokemon disappeared in a flash of red light. He gave it a pat for good luck, turned off the lights and took a breath. After holding it to the count of three to calm himself, Daisuke opened the door and stepped outside. The door shut with a soft click and it couldn’t sound more like a prison door slamming to Daisuke. The lock slid into place easily enough, especially for the low cost or rent and the area of town, but most people lived this way now adays. Daisuke shoved his hands into his pockets and headed for the Fair Grounds. It was still early in the day. The sun was pretty high in the sky already but the real heat of the later half hadn’t set in yet. Getting sun burned was a distinct possibility but there would be snow cones and ice cream there to cool them off. He was excited to spend the day riding rides and hanging out with Takeshi, but he was less enthused about spending time in close quarters with his friend. They’d been apart so long; would they get along the same? Would they find out they had nothing in common anymore? Those sorts of thoughts drove at him until he heard and saw the rides and crowds milling around the Carnival. Daisuke spotted Takeshi and raised his hand in greeting, saving a verbal greeting until he was closer. Pokemon Party:

Getting ready earlier had really drove the point home that he was unprepared for this. No amount of brushing his fingers through his hair or standing in front of a mirror was going to make him ready to face alone time with Daisuke. What if they had nothing to talk about? What if they finally realized that too much time had passed and they simply didn’t have what it would take to maintain a friendship? It was something that had been bothering him for some time, even before they’d finally met up again. Those little what-ifs - what if I meet him again, what if I don’t - had been a plague from the very beginning. He could never understand why, still didn’t in fact, and he didn’t like it. Takeshi was the sort that liked knowing and understanding what was going on. Not having a clue about his own feelings and thoughts didn’t sit well with the teen at all. He stood around the fairgrounds just as nervous as he’d been when he’d left home. Only this time he didn’t have Brand to take his mind off of those little worries. It was just himself, waiting, plenty of time for his thoughts to slither through his mind. He swallowed around a lump, telling himself he had nothing to worry about. They’d been friends for so long, perhaps this was what they needed to get a jump start on their friendship again. That didn’t quite help him when he finally spotted Daisuke and his heart started to throb in his chest. Takeshi wrinkled his nose and face and rubbed the spot, but it did nothing to soothe him. It only made him more aware of something he couldn’t explain away. Just calm yourself down. This will be fun. You two will enjoy yourselves. Everything will be just fine. He lifted his hand in a return greeting and stepped forward to close the remaining space between them. When they were near enough, he playfully gave Daisuke’s shoulder a push and grinned. ”I was starting to wonder if you’d even show.” Not that he’d worried about that, nosirnotatall.

His friend didn’t need to know just how true the statement could possibly be. Lifting a hand to shield his eyes the boy watched the Ferris Wheel as it made it’s slow decent. His palms were becoming damp at the thought of all the alone time they’d have. For some reason he was nervous, beyond the whole long lost friends thing. He couldn’t quite put a finger on it, but he wasn’t one to just let the feeling slide. He’d ponder it out until he found the answer, he’d just have to do it on the side. Indistinguishable emotions aside the man at the ticket booth just inside the gate was giving them the “buy something or leave” look. They weren’t even directly in front of the gate or less than 50 yards away. The fact there wasn’t much else to do on this side of town was beside the point. Daisuke gave the man a glare and continued talking. “Anyway it’s been awhile yeah? I haven’t gone to a carnival in… well I think the festival my parent put on when we were seven was it… That’s kinda of depressing.” Daisuke’s shoulders sagged as a scowl passed over his face. He’d been a fun guy once… now he worked, played with pokemon and apparently was a kill joy… fun… Daisuke grabbed the crook of Takeshi’s arm and pulled him toward the gate. Almost immediately he dropped it, as he realized how pushy that might seem… or look to other people. “C’mon we have lots to make up for!” Pokemon Party:

It would only give him more to worry about and consider, and his own mind was presently swirling about as it was. There was no way to make his thoughts calm down, so he knew a distraction would be needed. Thank the spirits for the Carnival. ”It’s been that long already?” He blinked at that and shook his head. Noticing the way Daisuke sagged, he opened his mouth to say something, maybe crack a joke to make him smile again. This was just... it was too different. This wasn’t the Daisuke he knew. Takeshi felt a knot form and twist in his stomach, and it worried him. Especially when the thoughts increased in number, and he couldn’t distinguish one pleasant idea from the lot. A frown started to press against his features when Daisuke grabbed hold of his arm, and suddenly there was no room to ponder what was on his mind. He laughed and tried to wiggle his arm free, only to nudge Daisuke with it when it when the other boy let go. ”We should check out that Ferris Wheel first. I’ve always wanted to try it out.” But then there were the games, and the food, and so much else. He looked around, as if suddenly aware of where they were, and Takeshi started to bounce a little on his feet. ”Ooh, but that food smells good. And look over there, bumper cars!” He pushed at Daisuke’s shoulder and pointed. Realizing how it might seem, he flushed and rubbed the back of his neck. ”Maybe we should buy our way in first, huh?”[/style][STYLE=width: 400px; text-align: center; font-size: 9px; color: #565656; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 0px; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 3px; opacity: 0.9;]Pokemon Party: made by kiwii at btn & ote![/style]

One hand was already in his back pocket pulling out his poke. The excitement was contagious as he found himself eager to pay and get into all the attractions. It all looked like so much FUN. Once in though he was bound to feel a little awkward, he didn’t exactly have a lot of practice coming to places like these but none the less he was willing to give it all a try. As he paid the scowling ticket keeper and got his pass, Daisuke took a whiff of all the food aromas. It all smelled so good and his stomach agreed. He’d go on a few rides before nudging Takeshi toward the snacks. Stepping aside the boy took a moment to take a good long look at all the… well dazzle. Lights noise and sounds everywhere. It was no wonder one could spend all day at a place like this. It certainly cost a bit to get in, but this was why. Glancing back over his shoulder he watched as Takeshi paid before grinning and waiving a hand at everything. “What did you want to do first? The Ferris Wheel still?” Pokemon Party:

It made Takeshi’s mouth stretch into a wide grin and he was more than happy - yet again - that he’d agreed to this. It would be nice to spend time in Daisuke’s company, and he’d stretch out the evening as long as he could before they both had to sleep. And if he had any say in how things went... they’d act just like they had when they were kids. That was one of his missions, and he tucked it away in his mind as a reminder. Tonight was about having that kind of fun, about being silly, about being himself and letting loose. He needed it, Daisuke certainly did, and Takeshi would see to it regardless. Shaking his head, he pulled out his own poke and offered it to the ticket keeper. The man seemed less than thrilled with the delay, but coughed up a pass all the same once he was paid. Clutching the pass in his hand, Takeshi looked around, trying to decide what he should suggest they do first. He scratched his nose and clicked his tongue before pointing to the Ferris Wheel. ”That first, and that last. What do you think?” He didn’t wait for a response, he nearly skipped as he moved forward, stopping only when he realized Daisuke wasn’t with him. ”C’mon, or I get to pick the next one too!” He waggled his brows and ears at that, the grin that had been there moments before returning in a heartbeat. This was going to be a blast![/style][STYLE=width: 400px; text-align: center; font-size: 9px; color: #565656; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 0px; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 3px; opacity: 0.9;]Pokemon Party: made by kiwii at btn & ote![/style]

But that’s no fair!” Daisuke took off after Takeshi, trotting to catch up. He put his pass away and moved to his friend’s right. He let Takeshi take the lead, his exuberance and taller build would break a path for them. With this many people around Daisuke tended to get bumped and trampled on for one reason or the other. He was alright with the choices his friend had made, ‘cause honestly he didn’t have a clue where to start. There would’ve been a map and a detailed plan involved in his choices, so it was better this way really. The groan of the Ferris Wheel’s mechanisms moving drew Daisuke’s gaze upward. Geez it was taller up close… The cars swayed too wasn’t that good? Trepidation flared in his stomach and little knots formed in it. He wasn’t afraid of heights so why was he feeling like this? Well he wasn’t afraid that he remembered, but he’d never been on one of these before. He could just be afraid of this type of heights… “At least the line isn’t very long. Matter of fact looks like we’ll be next if we hurry.” Daisuke bowed and gestured wildly toward the line for the ride, trying to act a little goofy to make Takeshi laugh. Pokemon Party:

There was a certain mechanical smell here that was familiar. He glanced at Daisuke. ”That smell... reminds me of the farm equipment from back home.” Granted, that hadn’t been home for either of them in some time, but it was a pleasant memory. It made him smile at least. He jumped into line with a ”Ha!” and wiggled his toes in his shoes. He was far too excited for his own good right now. But he couldn’t help it, not really. And it certainly helped that Daisuke was acting silly himself. Takeshi laughed and twirled around, stepping backwards as the line moved. ”We got this, we have it, we’re next in line.” He pointed his fingers at his friend and grinned. Only to turn around into the barrel chested ride operator. Takeshi’s eyes widened and he looked up and down. He cleared his throat and smiled pleasantly. ”Hello good sir. Two, please.” He held out his pass, and stepped forward after the man grunted. When he stepped back, out of the beast’s sight, he grabbed Daisuke’s attention, pointed to the man, and made horns like a Tauros while mouthing ”Totally”.[/style][STYLE=width: 400px; text-align: center; font-size: 9px; color: #565656; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 0px; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 3px; opacity: 0.9;]Pokemon Party: made by kiwii at btn & ote![/style]

He hid his smile behind a hand and made sure to stay out of the path of the boys spinning. Now that it was mentioned the slinging smell of grease and metal was familiar. Somehow the fact it was so familiar eased some of his nerves. Daisuke shook his head at both his friend and to clear away more of the sense of foreboding. That wouldn’t do at all; he had to show Takeshi how excited he himself was. The man watching the passengers getting on the ride was a bear alright. A big and burly sort of man. Daisuke was glad he hadn’t been the one to bump into him. Offering a tentative smile he presented his own pass and quickly skirted past like there was an angry Beedrill behind them. Reaching out, Daisuke grabbed Takeshi’s wrist and dragged him into the open car. “Thanks.” He called to the person holding it. Daisuke sat smiling on one of the seats and bent forward to agree with Takeshi. “Totally, all he was missing were the three tails and horns.” Scooting back a bit more, he got comfortable. The car was small enough for him to stretch out his legs and rest them on the opposite seat. So he did, but on Takeshi’s lap. It was sure to get a rise and Daisuke wasn’t the least bit sorry. Unless there was something gross on his shoes of course. Pokemon Party:

He stretched out himself and closed his eyes, cracking one open when he felt Daisuke flip his legs on his lap. A brow lifted and he glanced down to inspect the bottoms of each shoe, clicking his tongue when he was satisfied with his inspection. ”Looks like you haven’t been traipsing through Lillipup droppings. I think it’s safe to use me as a foot stool.” Of course, now he was tempted to see if his friend’s feet were still tickling. he flicked at the strings on Daisuke’s shoes and cackled. ”Good thing you’re wearing these. You might slide out of your seat otherwise.” He gave the lace another flick before leaning back, arms behind his head. A second later, the ride set in motion, and reflexively, Takeshi grabbed hold of the bar holding him in place. He was wholly tempted to throw his arms in the air and yell out nonsensical words. Instead, he shifted himself and nudged Daisuke’s thigh with his foot. ”So, when we get to the top, we should be able to see all of Aether. I heard the view from that far up is amazing.” Would be better at night, with all the bright lights lit in the distance, but he’d take what he could get. Besides, his mood was too good to let something so small get in the way. And being seated across from his friend, glancing at him, smiling- What? What was that? His heart was doing that throbbing thing again. He wrinkled his nose and resisted the urge to rub the spot like he had earlier. Strange business, whatever it was. He quickly put the smile back on his face and sat up, looking around as their seat rose and rose and rose.[/style][STYLE=width: 400px; text-align: center; font-size: 9px; color: #565656; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 0px; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 3px; opacity: 0.9;]Pokemon Party: made by kiwii at btn & ote![/style]

He washed the bottom of his shoes regularly, the dishes were always clean and there was no garbage or dirty cloths lying around. Matter of fact his apartment looked cleaner than the hallway just outside not that it took much really. Sloppy piloswine… not piloswine… something worse than them. Daisuke fidgeted as the ride began moving, jarring him out of his comfy spot. He ended up reclining in the corner with a good view of the ground slowly getting further away. Yeah… he didn’t stay long looking at that. He gave Takeshi a kick in the side in retaliation for the laces incident, but otherwise let it slide. Instead choosing to tilt his head back and look up at the partially clouded sky above. They were small and wispy so there would be no rain so that was good. “I’ve heard that too. Even more so at night, but we just missed that.” Daisuke smiled softly, trying at a joke and it falling a little flat. “Do you think we’ll pause at the top? The ride seems to occasionally stop but I don’t know if it’s from passengers getting on or not.” He peered over the edge to try and see. The other cars were in his way, but at least they blocked part of the view to the ground… Pokemon Party:

He chewed on the inside of his cheek a moment before shifting in his seat. That was better, and as long as he didn’t bounce too much, the seat remained as steady as a bull. He smiled at that, thinking of the operator below, and he stretched out his neck to see how tiny things were down below. ”You know, that would be pretty neat if it did. Give us a chance to observe the view, maybe discuss what we could do next.” He was hungry, but he wasn’t sure if he wanted to eat directly after the ride. Yet if Daisuke decided to head to a booth, he would surely follow. As if to answer their question, the Ferris Wheel did indeed come to a stop and it was jarring enough that Takeshi gulped and clung to the bar. ”Ahaha. Nice one. Like this thing isn’t solid.” He shook his head and looked across the way at Daisuke. ”Now, he rubbed his hands together, not giving the view a second look despite it being on his tongue moments before. ”where should we go after this? Games, another ride, maybe that haunted house?” Then he stopped, laughed, and held up his hands, as if expecting a playful push of some kind. ”But it’s your choice since I chose the Ferris Wheel... ooh, add the roller coaster to the list for later! Still, your choice for what’s up next.” And only then did he stop to take a look around him, and his entire face lit up as he took in the view of the city beyond. He twirled a finger in Daisuke’s direction, something about continuing, though he realized how rude that was and ducked his head a little. ”Guess I’m just over eager. But you can forgive me, right?” He batted his eyes and tried his best to look cute and adorable.[/style][STYLE=width: 400px; text-align: center; font-size: 9px; color: #565656; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 0px; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 3px; opacity: 0.9;]Pokemon Party: made by kiwii at btn & ote![/style]

No haunted house!” Daisuke practically shouted and quickly covered up his mouth with both hands. A light blush stained his cheeks and his mouth twisted in a sheepish grimace. “S-sorry. I still don’t like ghosts… Remember the time we went into the old haunted silo? I just wasn’t the same afterward…” Voice sounding strained, Daisuke gripped the bar. Not only had he wet himself and vomited after the haunting incident, but he’d been terrified of anything even ghost like at all and was an insomniac for nearly a month… No… No more ghosts. It made him feel kind of like a weakling to be afraid of something so trivial, but he wasn’t about to act braver than he was. That would be stupid. Not to mention wetting your pants and a young adult was less forgivable and more laughable. Daisuke tapped Takeshi on the side, “Um… some sharp shooting games or the tornado might be fun?” He threw those out there as suggestions. “Could we eat after that maybe? I know it would be your turn but everything smells so good, even from up here.” He tilted his head as his friend spoke again, a slight blush warming his face. Daisuke quickly faked irritation to cover it up, “Well I suppose so… If I have to.” He crossed his arms, though a twitch of the lips belayed his joking. Pokemon Party:

He’d completely forgotten about that incident, but with it being brought up, he remembered it all clearly. He dipped his head low in apology and took a deep breath. He just hoped Daisuke could forgive him for such an err in caution. The incident hadn’t been a pleasant one, but his friend was right - he’d been different after that. ”I’m so sorry, I... forgot about that, Daisuke.” He pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head and hands in front of him. ”Okay, ixnay on the whole haunted house thing. We’ll stay far, far away from it in fact.” He offered a small smile and knew with Daisuke’s next words he was forgiven. He considered a response and tapped his finger against his chin. Before he could speak, the ride started to move again and he finally gave in to earlier temptation, throwing his arms high above his head and shouting to no one in particular. ”Whoooooooo!” Of course it was completely ridiculous, but it was fun, and it put the bounce back into him. What was he supposed to do now? Oh, right! ”Well, since you’ve forgiven me, and I don’t have to pull the cute routine any longer,” goodness, why was Daisuke so adorable when he blushed? ”and you’re hungry, and I’m hungry, why don’t we just eat after we get off this thing?” His stomach growled and he laughed while pointing at it. ”Seems the ol’ belly would agree with that.”[/style][STYLE=width: 400px; text-align: center; font-size: 9px; color: #565656; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 0px; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 3px; opacity: 0.9;]Pokemon Party: made by kiwii at btn & ote![/style]

How could he be mad at Takeshi for that? They’d been apart years, there was no way he was going to flip over something so trivial. He hid another grin away under his hand, though he couldn’t quite stop the laugh. Takeshi was something else alright, a little kid wrapped up in this conscientious semi adult outer shell. It’s one reason they got along so well. He was the fun and recklessness to Daisuke’s careful plans and preparedness. Each balanced the other out. Daisuke was willing to take more risks and Takeshi didn’t run into the girafarig pen intent on riding one… at least he hoped he didn’t. “Food… food sounds good. I’m pretty much up for anything though a funnel cake and caramel apples sound good. Maybe a corn dog or pizza for the main course? And a snow cone for the drink?” Daisuke chuckled, mouth watering at the mention of food. His stomach also growled loudly to answer Takeshi’s. “Maybe we should’ve eaten first? It won’t shut up.” Daisuke poked at his middle. As their car sawyed slightly, he looked over the edge. “We’re not too far from the ground either. The ride’s almost over. I can taste the sugar and salt now…” Pokemon Party:
