Chapter 8-Pony Paradise Foals Ride Free

A few days later, Gav, Rosalee, and Noel go to Pony Paradise Amusement park and it turns out that they went on Foals Ride Free Day, so Gav only ends up paying for tickets for himself and Rosalee as the park runners think Noel is an actual foal, so they just let her slip in not knowing that she's twenty-two. "Wow," says Noel, "maybe this whole brainus fillius thing can come in handy sometimes after all."

"Yeah," giggles Gav, "sometimes your disability does come in handy, huh?"

"Yeah," responds Noel, "I still think they should have made me pay though. I am twenty-two, not five."

"Well, lil sis, just let it go and enjoy the park," responds Gav.

"Okay," sighs Noel. "Can we go ride the coasters now?"

"Yes," replies Gav with a smile. The three then head to the coasters and they end up being the first in line and get the best seats at the front of the coaster. About thirty minutes later, the coaster fills up and takes off down the track. As the coaster zooms around the track, Noel can't help but squeal and neither can Gav. As they squeal, Rosalee just rolls her eyes.

"Why do you two like squealing on coasters? It's not obligatory ya know," says Rosalee snarkily.

"Because it's fun," responds Noel somewhat annoyed. Rosalee just rolls her eyes again. A few minutes later, the ride comes to an end and they go and hop on another coaster, the new coaster known as Midnight Terror Drop Tower. It's a Nightmare Moon themed ride that is new to the parks. Once they are on the coaster, the coaster seat begins to climb the side of the tower and once it reaches the top, it drops, drops, and then slams down the tower and does that another five times. This time around, Rosalee screams and squeals along with Gav and Noel. Once they hop off the coaster, Gav looks at Rosalee with a smug look.

"What?" she says to him. "I didn't squeal."

"Oh yes you did," responds Gav.

"Fine, maybe a little bit," Rosalee finally admits. "But to be fair, that coaster was scarier than the first one."

"Yeah, not buying that," responds Gav, "but believe what you want." The three then walk off and get some lunch before going and riding another coaster and then the Pegasus Swings. After they are done on these rides, they ride the rest of the coasters in the park until Noel tuckers out and passes out on Gav's back, which is when they all head home.

Once they're back at home, Gav tucks Noel into her bed and lets her nap. While she naps, Gav catches up some more with Rosalee. "So," says Gav to Rosalee, "do you enjoy staying here with my sister?"

"Yeah," responds Rosalee with a smile. "It's fun. Sometimes scary, but mostly fun."

"That's good," responds Gav. "When did you two first meet?"

"I met your sister when I was about twenty years old and she was seventeen at the time, she was being picked on by two other mares when I met her. I stood up to the bullies for her and we became best friends not long after that. After that, we went everywhere together and it's been that way ever since." Rosalee lets out a sigh. "Bullies still get to her, but I and the CMC and Babs are helping her get over it."

"Well, that's great!" responds Gav. "I'm glad somepony else is also watching my sister's back and helping her build her confidence up to defend herself against her bullies."

"Yeah, it's a one step forward two steps back sort of deal, but she'll get there eventually," responds Rosalee, giving out another sigh. Rosalee then looks into the bedroom at the peacefully sleeping Noel. "She'll get there someday. I have faith."

"I do too," responds Gav. "Now, let's just let her sleep until dinner. It'll do her good." Rosalee nods and she and Gav leave the house for a little bit and spend some time together in the park. As they sit in the park, the two look up at the clouds and just stay there in silence. They stay there until dinner time when they return home and find a now awake Noel sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Where did you two go?" asks Noel. "It's supper time."

"We were at the park," responds Gav. "Now what do you want for dinner?"

"Grilled cheese," responds Noel. Gav nods and pulls out the griddle and gets it heating. He then pulls out the bread, butter, and the cheese and then butters the bread and gets it on the griddle and then sticks the cheese in the middle then puts on the top piece. He then makes another one for himself and Rosalee and they then sit down on the couch and eat dinner together while they continue to watch TV. It's been another fun day for all of them, but they're glad to finally have some time to relax together as a family. To them, that is the best part of any day and that is never going to change anytime soon.
