SURPRISE!!

FRANKIE'S POV.

"Are we there yet?" I asked, looking out the window for what seemed the millionth time.

"No sugar we aren't there yet," said Gee wearily. I think I was annoying him, YAY!

"When are we going to be there?" I whined.

"When we get there," said Mikey unhelpfully.

"In about five minutes," said Lauren.

"YAY! Are we there yet?" I asked and everyone sighed.

"No," said Ray.

"Are we there yet?"

"Nope," said Mikey looking out of the window.

"Why don't we try and guess where were going to take Frankie's mind off saying that damn sentence," suggested Bob. Ooh goody I was annoying him too!

"Which sentence? Are we there ye...."

He grabbed me from behind.

"Frankie if you say that one more time, I will rip off your balls and feed them to you, do you understand me?" Bob tried to sound all threatening but I knew he wouldn't do that because hes a big softy, or would he? Maybe I should stop now.

"Is the place were going somewhere fun?" asked Mikey eagerly.

"Yeah if your into that kind of thing," said Lauren, grinning.

"Ooh is it a sex museum?" I asked.

"Frank don't be stupid," sighed Mikey.

"I wasn't Mikes she said It's fun if were into that kind of thing so I thought...."

"You have a one track mind don't you Frankie?" Laughed Ray.

"Yep," I smiled.

"Is it uh.... in what way is it fun, like funny ha ha or like enjoy yourselves and have a laugh with each other?" asked Bob.

"Enjoy yourselves," said Lauren simply.

"Have we been to this place before?" asked Gee, trying to narrow down our options as to where it could be.

"Not that I know of. Anyway were here now look!" she said pointing out of her window.

A stretch of blue roller coaster track was just visible between the trees at the end of a colossal parking lot that was practically empty that we had just pulled into.

"SURPRISE!! Welcome to Alton Towers, The UK's biggest and best amusement park," grinned Lauren.

"NO WAY!" I cried.

"Uh Frankie, yes way, we are here," said Bob as the driver pulled the car into a parking space near a large building and we all jumped out. The building had tracks entering it on either end so I guessed it must be some sort of station.

"A friend of mine is the manager here and she got us free passes and VIP entry so we can jump all of the queues and have free food and stuff," Grinned Lauren.

There was a blond woman in Alton Towers staff uniform waiting for us near the entrance to the monorail station.

Lauren rushed over and hugged her. They broke apart and Lauren introduced us.

"OK everyone this is Nat, Nat this is Mikey, Ray, Bob, Gee and Frankie, watch out for Frankie," she laughed.

"Hi everyone," said Nat cheerily, I noticed her British accent. We all said hi back and followed her into the building. We went through a gate where nobody else was going as the queue stretched the other way and we ended up on a flight of steps that led to a platform.

Nat led us into the very front compartment of the monorail train, with the driver sat in it, and we all sat down in the empty seats. The doors closed a few moments later and the train started its slow journey into the heart of the park.

We rounded a corner and two immense, intertwined roller coasters became visible. A few of us gasped, including me.

"The blue coloured coaster is called 'air' and you basically fly. You'll have to go on it to see what I mean and the sandy brown coloured one is called 'Nemesis' I don't recommend you go on that if your not completely sure because it is not for the faint hearted," she explained as the train moved past the two coasters and towards another station building much further down the line.

Within a few minutes we had reached the other station and got out of the train. Nat handed us each a map of the park and a pass to wear round our necks to let us skip the queues and get free food and things like that.

"Lauren do you mind if I shoot off and meet back up with you later, I have a meeting now that I've only just remembered," asked Nat.

"No it's alright, me and the boys will just take a look around ourselves," smiled Lauren. She hugged Nat again and we made our way into the park, flashing our passes to the security men who let us in without question.

Through the security gate we were stood facing down a hill towards a large grassy picnic area with a huge lake bordering it. We followed the wide path down until we came to a T junction in the path.

"Do we want to split up or stay all together?" I asked.

"Let's stick together as long as we can and then if we want we can split up later," suggested Mikey. "I mean It's a big place and we could easily get separated."

We all nodded and pulled out our maps to look at what we wanted to do first.

"I don't mind really, whatever you lot all want I'll go along with," said Bob, folding up his map and shoving it back in his pocket.

"I wanna go on the biggest one!" I protested.

"Fine, we'll get the sky-car over to Nemesis and Air and do each of them a few times," said Gee.

"We'll get the w..what?" stammered Bob. He's so scared of heights and a sky-car would like probably make him shit himself.

"Sky-car" I grinned, pulling everyone with me towards the sky-car entrance.

"I'm gonna walk it I'll see you lot there," he said, grabbing Ray and the two of them setting off down the very very long path together towards the woods.

*********************************************************************************************

We got out of the sky-car at the other end and Ray and Bob were waiting for us at the exit.

I heard a noise like a conveyor belt starting up behind me and saw Nemesis leaving its station.

"Hey guys look! Let's see what it does!" said Bob, noticing it too.

BOBS POV.

I watched the roller coaster carriage go up the conveyor belt and around a corner and out of sight. Seconds later it was back and picking up speed, it rolled over a double corkscrew and all the people on it screamed loudly. I watched its progress around the rest of the track. Through a tunnel under the station building, and into a tight curve.It was making me dizzy just to watch and I want to just get it over with.

We all walked up to the building entrance and a worker dude inspected our passes. He let us through and we had to pick where we sat.

"Where do you wanna sit?" asked Ray.

"Wherever you want to sit," I smiled and he pulled me towards the front with him.

Frank was bouncing up and down in his seat excitedly. I sat next to him. The rows were in fours, our row was arranged with Gee on the far end, Frank next to him, Me in-between Frank and Ray.

I sat down and pulled the restraint shoulder bar down and it locked into place tight against me. There was a seat belt to attach it to the seat and I did so. Another worker dude came around and checked we were all fastened in.

"You alright?" asked Ray as he fastened his own seat restraint and the dude checked it for him.

"A little scared, I never liked these things, how 'bout you?"

"Scared too, this looks pretty wild." I wriggled my hand so I could reach his and he took it and held it tight.

The floor beneath our feet was lowered to give the train clearance to leave the station and we started to move. We started to slowly make our way up the conveyor belt and Frank was already screaming and had his arms up in the air. I could hear Mikey panicking behind me and Lauren trying to convince him not to be scared.

We hit the top of the conveyor and rounded the corner into a steep drop. I felt myself drop Ray's hand and lift my own arms above my head just like Frank was doing. We went over the double corkscrew and then the track dropped again into a tunnel, we came out the other side and up a steep slope to a high banked turn, we came down the other side of it and into a fast loop before going back into a different tunnel and around another corkscrew before the track twisted and turned itself back into the station.

My throat hurt from screaming that whole way round and as we pulled into the station I glanced Ray. His hair was all windswept and was everywhere, I laughed and he raised his hands to sort it out.

"That was AWESOME!!" screamed Frankie as we walked shakily out of the station.

"Ride photos!" said Lauren excitedly and we walked over to the booth. We found us and it was quite sight to see.

Mikey was cowering with his hands over his face and clinging onto his seat for dear life. Lauren had her arms up over her head and was screaming wildly.

Gee looked like he was about to loose his breakfast and he still did now. Frank was sticking his tongue out having clearly noticed the camera. I had my arms up in the air and a wild smile on my face and Ray was clinging on to his seat for dear life but at least he didn't cower like Mikey.

"I think I'm gonna be sick," moaned Gee as we walked around to do it again.

"Hey lets try the back car and see if its better?" I suggested to Ray and he nodded and we ran to sit down.

We went round again and again until after about 5 times more we were starting to get a little tired of it. The back car was the best as it made all the G forces so much more intense and really threw you around.

We went on Air next and by the time we had been on that one four times I was starting to feel a bit worse for wear. I felt really tired already and very very very very hungry, but I'm not going to eat anything.

Mikey pointed out a smaller ride that I hadn't noticed on the way to Air called 'Ripsaw'. We thought it just swung you a little bit but we were unfortunately, mistaken. It swung you violently all the way over the top and upside down and side to side and then it held you upside down and sprayed water in your face and all over you and there was nothing you could do to stay dry because of how you were sat.

We got off of that ride dripping wet and very disorientated.

"Ray you bastard how did you stay so dry?!" asked Frank, competely outraged that he had been soaked and not Ray.

"I guess I just had a lucky seat and there was no water jet there," He grinned and took my hand as we walked into the next 'zone' of the park.

We rode all the water rides and got completely drenched and then the guys decided they wanted to go for lunch. I would need to think of a really good excuse to get out of eating this time.

We walked to the nearest pizza hut and sat down in a round booth. We were getting a large pizza between every 2 of us so that was 3 pizzas for 6 people to try and eat all of. When the pizza showed up about 15 minutes later it was very very hard to resist. I watched everyone else eating for a while until Ray sighed and put his pizza back on his plate.

"What?" I asked turning to face him sitting next to me.

"You have to eat something," he said.

"I'm not hungry." My stomach rumbled loudly, perfect timing.

"Come on Bob please eat just one peice at least," He pleaded. Does he not understand I'm doing this for him? i want to be perfect for him and this is the only way.

"No the pieces are too big and I don't want it."

"Eat it or I'll force feed you," he threatened.

"I'd like to see you try," I laughed and he grabbed me forcefully. Gee picked up a fresh peice of pizza and extended it out in front of my face.

"Open up," he demanded, holding the pizza by my mouth. I could smell it and did it smell good.

"I don't take orders," I said, opening my mouth as little as possible whist speaking so he didn't shove the pizza in there.

"Frankie?" said Gee and Frank kicked me in the leg, hard, under the table.

"Ouch!" I gasped but it was muffled when Gee shoved the pizza into my open mouth. And OH MY GOD did it taste good!

I chewed up the bite I had unintentionally taken and swallowed it. Ray let go of me and Gee handed me the slice of pizza. I took another bite and felt everybody watching me as I chewed it up and swallowed it forefully. I really didn't want to eat this, theres so many calories in pizza! And so much fat and salt, I can practically feel my jeans getting tighter with each bite.

Part of me knows I'm being stupid, part of me knows I'm getting too thin and need to stop this and get some damn food down my neck but I can't eat more then just that one slice.

"Happy? I ate your one slice," I asked of Ray.

"No I'm not fucking happy with it at all! Your going to end up with an eating disorder at this rate, your getting way too thin and It's not right!" he did sound pretty angry. Was this our first fight as a couple?

"Alright for you I will eat as much as I can." He gave me a weak smile and I grabbed some more pizza. I wasn't doing this for me, it was for him, I hope he can see what he's doing to me. I didn't stop eating until I had eaten my entire half of the pizza and all the crusts.

"There now are you happy?" I asked Ray and he smiled.

"Yeah that was great now eat like that three times a day and you'll be fine."

Yeah right Ray, there is no way on earth that is happening.
