                       Kapitel 26: Step 26 - Second Date
                       ---------------------------------


You haven’t jumped in bed with your crush on the first date and actually got
invited on a second date? Congratulations! Your crush is definitely interested!
Still, it's blah blah blah. Isn't that how some articles in girls' magazines
always start? Another popular topic in such magazines is: Is he in love with me?
The 10 signs! - or something like that.
The second date is just as important as the first date. Leaving a good first
impression has been done, now it's about going into the depths! On the second
date, it’s important to be careful that the conversation won’t come to a
standstill. But those who are interested, will always find a topic and above
all, want to know everything about the other. Nevertheless, a date should always
be a lot of fun and a little romantic too.
 
“Daaamn Sasuke! Tell me already where we're going!“ The pink haired woman
whines impatiently at her husband, in which’s black Audi they are sitting and
driving to their destination. Sasuke smiles amused at her childish impatience
and shakes his head, which makes his wife sigh and look out the window again.
“We've been driving over the highway for at least half an hour already!” She
states with a grumble and watches the brown noise barriers on the sides of the
highway. “Where are you kidnapping me to?” She tries it once again and looks
back at him questioningly. "You will see it when we have arrived" A small grin
lies on his lips, as he tells her this. Pouting playfully, she pushes out her
lower lip, crosses her arms childishly over her chest and looks out of her side
window with a huff. Sasuke keeps driving and follows the long road, which goes
into a slight but long curve. Sakura keeps looking out of the window in silence,
while her husband just keeps concentrating himself on the traffic around them.
Only a little later noise barrier disappears  and makes way to the beautiful
view to the blue sea bay. "Hey. There is the Miracle Land!” The young Haruno
immediately exclaims with a smile, as soon as her gaze meets said amusement
park. For a moment the Uchiha throws a sideways glance towards his wife and sees
how she almost presses her nose against the windowpane while she stares out.
"You seem to associate some nice memories with it." He comments silently and
pushes down the turn signal to change lanes. "Yes. I used to come here a couple
of times with my parents." She replies and her look becomes slightly sad, her
smile filled with melancholy. After a while of silence, she sits back on her
seat properly and leans her head against the window pane, looking through it and
towards the Miracle Land. "I haven't been there for a long time, although i
really loved it." It comes over her lips in a soft mumble. "Tell me when we have
arrived." Sasuke glances briefly towards her at her request, seeing how she
closes her eyes with a soft sigh, which makes him smile. "Okay."
 
The car rolls slowly through the parking lot, towards one of the empty places
where he could park his car safely for the rest of the day. A few minutes later
he finally brings his car to a standstill and pulls the handbrake, turning off
the engine right after. Unfastening his seat belt, the young man gets out of his
car after removing the key, only to walk around the car and open the passengers
door. "We have arrived." It comes from him, when he sees her eyes still closed
and watches as his wife opens her eyes. She looks around a little confused, but
doesn't seem tired at all. "That was quick now." She states with a smile, not
knowing whether the way was really so short, or wether the time has just passed
way too fast because of delving in the memories of  the times when she was
visiting Miracle Land with her parents. Maybe she can go there with him when
winter is over. After a moment of delving in thoughts, she unfastens her
seatbelt and gets out of the car and looks a little confused at her husband, who
watches her with that mysterious smile. Raising one of her eyebrows skeptically,
she closes the car door behind herself and looks into her husbands eyes, who
takes two steps to the side and reveals to her the place behind himself.
"You’re making fun of me, right?" It comes from her in utter disbelief. Her
facial expression derails for a moment, before her lips form into a happy smile.
"Sorry. Unfortunately it isn’t a five star restaurant or European." Sasuke
explains with a slight sigh and plays the disappointed husband for ‘not being
able to please his wife’s expectations’. "However, i hope that you’ll
still like the surprise." He now tells her with a slight grin, only to get a
squeak in response, watching her jump onto him happy and excitedly.
 
Smiling brightly, she lets him go again and looks back up into his grey eyes. "I
would have never imagined that you would find your way here by yourself, or even
know what the Miracle Land is." She explains still a little surprised, risking a
growl from him in response. When she notices, that now she’s the one who is
about to ruin the date before it even started, she quickly tries to ease his
fouling mood by rewording her claim. "That's why it's all the nicer and makes me
even happier that you planned to kidnap me here for our second date!" Hoping
that it helped, she quickly leans forward, to press her lips on his cheek and
walk past him towards the entrance. The Uchiha looks after her a little
perplexed, as it takes him a moment to realize what just happened in what speed.
"Sasuke! What are you taking so long?!“ He hears her call out for him with a
laugh, making him look around to her. She is already standing by the entrance,
waving at him. Amused, he lets out a snort and shakes his head, moving leisurely
to catch up with her and go to the ticket hut with her.
 
The rush towards the Miracle Land is great. The visitors forming longer lines in
front of  the entrance. The two line up next to each other, waiting for their
turn. “I hope we won’t be found and stalked by the press again. I really
don’t want our date to end up in the magazines again." It comes resigned from
the pink haired, after a few minutes of waiting. The Uchiha laughs briefly at
her words, looking down and into her face. "Why not?" He explores and examines
her questioningly. "Well, I'm not going to be lucky twice in a row, that, for
some reason, Karin won't be able to read the article again. If she knows that I
am your wife, she will make my life a living hell and I like to mess around with
her. Besides, it’s not like they have a right to lurk and sniff around in my
personal life. What they do needs to be illegal. I want to see their faces if
someone would be stalking them around and reveal their most private moments to
the whole world." Annoyed at the shameless reporters, she grimaces and imagines
the scene the Kaseguchi would make. She would go crazy and turn into a fury.
Worse than she already is. Sasuke grins in amusement and shakes his head with a
chuckle. “I don't think that we're so unlucky to be spotted on a date twice in
a row. Apart from that, there are so many people here that we’ll disappear in
the crowd.” He replies calmly and lets his hands disappear into his pockets.
Smiling, his wife hooks up on his arm and cuddles herself against his shoulder.
"What are you doing to mess with Karin?" The Uchiha now asks a little curious
and looks down at her pink hair. The idea of her putting that woman back on her
place kind of sounds interesting after all. Sakura immediately lifts her head
and looks at him in surprise, before smiling sheepishly. "You are my boss and
the boss of my boss, I can't tell you that." She explains and can't help but
grin. Skeptical, he raises an eyebrow, but she just steps a few steps further
towards the entrance.
 
"Say, do you know how it’s going between Naruto and Hinata?” With this
question, Sakura draws his attention back to herself, watching him looks up into
the sky thoughtfully. “Right now there is no developement. He only told me
that he’s going to ask her out on their third date, but not when. Is Hinata
not telling you anything?” A grin steals on his lips, as she lets out a sigh.
"Well, yeah... I know that things are going better than before between them.
They stopped ending up in bed with each other and even meet for a cup of coffee.
But she can't tell me what Naruto is planning next.” Reports the green eyed
woman as they get closer and closer to the entrance. “The third date. He shows
quite a speed. How am I supposed to catch up?" Sasuke suddenly mumbles to
himself, making her look up at him in disbelief, since she’s only wearing flat
shoes and therefore is much smaller than him. “It's not a competition!” She
says with a giggle and slaps his shoulder lightly. Surprised he looks at her
through his dark grey eyes, before his lips twist into a small grin. “Besides,
unlike him, you don't even need to date me to win me over. After all, we’re
already married. We might not love each other in a romantic way yet, but we are
still definitely way further than him." He hears his wife explain to him with a
giggle and wraps her arm around his again. “Good. If that is the case, then we
don't even need to go in there.” He just muses and turns around in order to
walk back to his car. “Hey!” Exclaims the young Haruno angrily and he
can’t stop himself from letting out a laugh, before he turns back to her. "I
was just kidding. Of course we'll go in.” He says amused and takes her with
air filled cheeks into his hands, pulling her closer for a chaste kiss.
 
"Next one, please!” Sasuke smiles crookedly at his wife and takes her hand in
his, gently pulling her after him to the cashier, who just called out for them.
"Hello. Tickets for two please!“ The Uchiha utters briefly and pulls his wife
closer to himself, lets go of her hand and wraps his arm around her waist
instead. "Sure." The woman exclaims with a smile and turns around while he takes
some money out of his pocket to pay for the bracelet IDs. "Here you go! Have
fun!” The woman hands him two of the bracelet IDs and takes the money in
exchange. The couple goes on and wraps the bracelet IDs around their right
wrists. "Well? What are your next plans?" The pink haired woman explores with a
smile. “Having lots of fun, with something to eat in between." Sasuke replies
as they approach the control counters and both hold their IDs on the scanner, in
order for the access barriers to open and let them enter the actual amusement
park.
 
"Well?" It comes from Sasuke, while he looks around briefly. "What do you feel
like doing first?" His attention is on his wife, who looks at a certain place
with a bright smile. "The bumper cars!" She exclaims with a slight grin and
immediately points to the ride. "Okay." The two approach said place and open the
access barriers with their IDs and get into some of the last bumper cars and
drive from the area which serves as a parking lot. Grinning, Sakura drives
through the crowd of cars.
 
The Miracle Land is a very special amusement park. On one hand, it is built
right by the sea and one of the roller coasters, or rather called water
coasters, even leads out to the sea. It’s the most popular and spectacular
ride of the whole amusement park - the Supersnake. And on the other hand, at the
beginning you pay for a bracelet ID with which you can enter every ride as often
as you want. There are no operators, but only security officers and service
people who supervise the attractions around the clock and take care of the
visitors. The amusement park is gigantic. Some guests even book a room at the
hotels, right across the street, only to be able to ride the attractions all
weekend. Although, one day would be fairly enough to ride each ride at least
once. In addition to the attractions and rides, there are of course game and
food stalls, some of them also only working with the bracelet IDs. At the end of
the visit, the IDs are returned and scanned, in order to sum up the amount of
money for all the attractions they visited through their visit in the park. Of
course there are also possibilities to take pictures or to have them taken as a
memory.

The black haired man looks around searchingly and past the other visitors, in
search of his wife. Her sudden laugh reaches his ears, when she suddenly drives
past him. “Can't you find the gas pedal like you couldn’t on your car?”
She calls out to him, while driving away in a fast pace. Immediately, he stomps
onto the gas pedal and drives after her. "Oh! You know where it is, or was that
just a lucky hit?” She continues teasing him, when he came up next to her. "Of
course I know where it is. Last time you only won, because i didn’t drive
faster than allowed." He smiles, making her huff. "Yeah right, you and letting
me win on purpose. You’re just a bad looser! I will show you that you can’t
catch me!" She laughs and suddenly steps on the gas again, before she drives
away quickly. Which makes it unable for her to see his triumphant smirk.
“Challenge accepted.” It comes over his lips in a form of a chuckle and
immediately chases after his wife. A gasp escapes her when she notices that
he’s already back behind her and tries to evade him. However, she doesn’t
expect him to react on spot to her retreating tactic. With a wide smirk on his
lips, Sasuke makes a rapid turn backwards, only to ram her car with full force
and quickly drive off into the opposite direction. “Hey!” The young woman
exclaims with a huff, but also kind of shocked that it did’t even take him a
minute to catch her. Now, the fact that he could have really just let her win
their other race the other time, doesn’t seem so ridiculous to her anymore.
Puffing up her cheeks in annoyance, she quickly turns her car over and chases
after her husband. Sasuke in the other hand steers his bumper car across the
place, stopping and waiting directly in front of some other passengers, only to
evade them in the last second, so that Sakura has to slow down to prevent these
people from crashing into her car. However, she doesn’t really succeed with
her plan and ends up colliding with others several times, which the others
accept with laugher. The thing is, that she loses sight of her husband because
of it, forced to search for him through the whole place. A few minutes pass as
she’s about to drive over a crossroad, but stops herself, when she spots her
husband on the left. Sitting in his bumper car with his elbows on the little
steering wheel and his chin resting on his fist, he watches her with amusement
as she drives past him. His lips still formed into an amused smirk, before he
steps back onto the gasp pedal and drives off. Sakura lets out a slight curse
and drives the way to the end, in order to drive onto another path and catch up
to her husband. Though, she doesn’t expect him to approach her from the side
and ram into her bumper car with full speed. The young Haruno squeals aloud at
the collision, ending up laughing.

"Let’s meet up at the starting line." She explains after a moment and drives
off again, which he accepts with a nod and heads for the starting line, where he
can already see her waiting for him at the side. He stops next to her carefully,
looking over to her and into her eyes. "Already giving up?" It comes from him
with an amused chuckle, when he sees her pout at him. “You deceived me!
That’s unfair! You were supposed to be a bad looser!” She pouts, making him
laugh amused at her pouty behaviour. “Who flies high, needs to expect to fall
deeper. I had actually intended to seriously win that day, but like i said,
unlike you i not only know where the accelerator is, but also where the limits
are. Besides...” He pauses for a moment in his explanation, to watch her with
an amused smirk. “I still had to punish you somehow either way, for declining
my offer to drive to work together, although i had seriously considered your
wish to spend more time with you. Even if it’s just a simple ride to work.”
Surprised, Sakura looks back up at him, before she looks down at her hands. She
never knew. Only after a moment her lips form back into a soft smile and looks
back up again. “Come here.” She then replies and tugs on his arm. A bit
confused, he follows her request and leans over to her, watching her lean closer
to him as well and takes out her smartphone to hold it up over the both of them.
She cuddles her head against his shoulder, sticks out her tongue and makes the
peace sign with her fingers. He raises an eyebrow skeptically when he sees her
doing so on the screen. The picture freezes for a moment and the selfie gets
saved. Sakura smiles contentedly at the outcome of the picture, which makes him
smile and watches her take another selfie with him. "Want to go on a different
ride now?" It comes from her while she puts her cell phone back into her mini
handbag, which she carries around her upper body, from her right shoulder to her
left hip. "Sure, if that's what you want." Sasuke replies with a smile and
watches her get out of her bumper car, before he too follows her out. "What do
you want to do next?" The Uchiha asks with interest, while he takes his wife's
hand and crosses their fingers together, gently caressing the back of her hand
with his thumb. With a shrug and a smile on her lips, she just looks up into his
grey eyes.
 
“What about roller coasters? I mean, because of your fear of heights.” He
then starts and watches his wife’s reaction with interest. “Roller coasters
are okay, but not those high falls! Not even ten horses will get me up there!”
The Haruno explains with a shudder, pointing to one of the highest attractions.
"And what about you and your claustrophobia?" She then asks back and watches him
slightly grin. “Want to go on one of the roller coasters? Maybe the Water
coaster?” He just asks a counter question, making her look at him perplexed.
"Sure." She then finally agrees and briefly examines the different lanes. “The
Supersnake would be cool, but for that one we would have to wait so long. How
about the one over there?" Sakura then suggests with a mumble, before pointing
to one of the lanes. "Whichever you like." The Uchiha says with a nod and walks
towards the one she has chosen. His wife walking right beside him. With a slight
smile, she looks down at her hand, which he’s still holding and running his
thumb over the back of her hand.

A relieved, but also pleased smile pulls on her lips. She has him back. She has
her friendly and gentle Sasuke back. She really has him back. Shifting her
weight to her side, Sakura leans her head against his shoulder, while closing
her eyes contentedly. He's who he was again and hopefully this time he'll stay
that way. Forever. When he told her at the end of their bumper car ride, that he
had seriously thought about her and wanted to spend time with her, she felt so
weird, she couldn’t describe it properly. All she could tell is that she felt
happy and didn’t mind anymore that he let her win the previous time. Her
memories return to the times in which everyone kept saying, how different he is
with her and she can finally see it too. An amused smile pulls on her lips. If
someone would have told her back at her first weeks of marriage, that he would
be like this towards her, she would have probably laughed at them. But now she
knows, that they would have been actually right. It seems that she needs to stop
judging people by their covers.

 When Sasuke feels her head on his shoulder, the Uchiha looks around to his
right. A smile settles on his lips as he places his temple on her head for a
short moment. Shortly afterwards he slows down in his steps, which causes his
wife to open her eyes again. She sees a small line of people standing in front
of the roller coaster and waiting for their turn. Screams and screeches can be
heard from the roller coaster, which makes the black haired man look up, where
he discovers the row of cars and the visitors who happily put their hands up
into the air. His eyes follow the ride in silence, which is already entering the
station again. People pour out and make space for the next passengers. The line
in front of them is cut in half and the two of them come to a stop in front of
the entry barrier. Actually, standing in line for almost twenty minutes just to
have five minutes of fun is nonsense, but it's worth the time every time. The
ride starts moving once again and Sakura follows it and listens to the joyful
screams and shouts. The journey doesn't take long and the ride rolls back into
the station, before the passengers pour out again, making it able for Sasuke and
Sakura to finally pass through the access barriers and make their ways to the
seats. "Come on, there is still space at the  front." Announces one of the
security guards and points in the direction, so the two follow the request and
take a seat in the ride’s first row.
 
Sasuke smiles slightly at his wife, before they get secured properly and
prepared for the upcoming ride. Sakura immediately puts her hands on the safety
device in front of her chest and looks happily at the rails in front of her.
Sasuke also turns his gaze back to the front as the carriage finally starts
moving. Slowly it picks up more and more speed and already drives up the first
incline. Shortly afterwards the train shoots down again and a screech reaches
Sasuke’s ears. Sakura has happily raised her arms, but no sound leaves her
lips. She’s enjoying the moment and it relieves him. The train goes up again,
makes some curves, a loop and over a few more hills of different heights.
 
Laughing, the young Haruno leaves the station and back in front of the access
barrier and looks around for her husband. "What next?" He asks, pleased that she
is having fun. “The next roller coaster!” Exclaims the green eyed woman and
immediately points to the train she wants to ride next. "Come on!" She grins and
takes his hand to pull him with her, which he accepts by simply following her
with an amused smile. Sakura walks through the place of the amusement park and
towards the next roller coaster she has chosen. "Do you know what I noticed?" It
suddenly comes from the Uchiha while he follows her. “What?” She asks with
interest and looks at him over her shoulder. "You haven't been clumsy lately."
As if his remark was the push of a button, his wife suddenly stumbles forward
and over her own feet. Sasuke reflexively grasps her hand tighter than before
and pulls her abruptly towards him. Startled, she lets out a squeak, before she
can feel how she falls into his arms. "Apparently I was wrong." He then remarks
with an amused grin and watches his wife, which immediately turns all red and
looks embarrassed to the ground. With a slight chuckle, he presses his lips
gently against her temple and then starts walking towards her requested
destination once again. "But well, in the end i don’t mind it anyway." He then
adds with a wink and puts his arm around her waist to hold her close.

Until they both arrive at the desired station, the Haruno doesn't make a single
sound, still quite embarrassed about the trip. She really thought that she'd
gotten her clumsiness more under control. “I think this clumsiness of yours is
really cute.“ The Uchiha whispers into her ear and presses another kiss on her
temple, when he notices that she is still uncomfortable about it, making her
look up at him with bright red cheeks. This is the part about it, which he likes
the most. Her bright red cheeks. He couldn’t describe this feeling, but it
looks so beautiful on her. “Come on, it's our turn.” He says, pulling her
through the access barrier towards the ride she wanted to get on next, which the
previous visitors are leaving. Surprised, she looks around briefly before she
sits next to her husband, onto one of the seats. Sasuke watches her again, while
the other passengers are still getting on the ride and pull down the safety bars
over their shoulders and secure them properly. The pink haired woman shakes her
head briefly in order to concentrate on the here and now again, instead of
delving into the confusion she feels because of her husbands statement. He is
just saying all of this to tease her and that’s it! This is what she tells
herself with a soft nod.
 
The carriage starts moving again and goes up the lift hill. When the coaster
suddenly rushes down, even the Uchiha lets out a small, "Woah!". The air, which
is flowing in the opposite direction, presses against his stomach and makes him
laugh. Sakura on his right screams happily and stretches her arms in the air,
the train loops, back up a hill, a few steep curves and another loop. It goes up
and down a few more times. The Uchiha can't stop laughing at the air pressure on
his stomach. With a shriek from most of the guests, the train drives the last
hill down into a curve and finally slows down until it comes to a stop again in
the station. The safety bars get de-secured again automatically and release the
visitors from their seats. With a smile on his lips, Sasuke now gets out of the
car as well, before taking his wife’s hand to help her out and on her feet.
When she stands next to him, his fingers immediately close around hers and
entangles them. The pink haired girl looks up at him and into his grey eyes,
which seem even more visible and therefore more beautiful than usual. Maybe she
was just imagining, but at the moment it really didn’t seem like black at all.
It’s like the color is truly shining through to her and he replies to her
silent stare with a smile. “Do you want to have some food, or ride another
attraction?” He explores and leads her out of the place.
 
"Let's go to the mirror maze before we have something to eat." She suggests
while looking around for it, but reconsiders when she remembers his little
problem. "Or, is that not possible because of your claustrophobia?" The Haruno
pauses and looks back up at her husband, who nods amused. "Of course it works.
After all, there are no narrow spaces, just mirrors. If I should still panic, i
will just break one." Sakura laughs with a shake of her head at his last claim
and heads for the mirror maze with him. With their bracelet IDs they open the
door and enter a brightly lit room in which they can make out a few other
guests. A corridor leads deeper into the interior of the building, with the
first mirrors hanging at the far end of the corridor. The Haruno stops for a
moment to examine herself in one of the many mirrors, before she lets out an
agonized groan. "I should really lose some weight." She grumbles and holds her
stomach. "What are you talking about? You are slim enough, a few more pounds
wouldn’t be bad either.” The Uchiha exclaims, stunned, as he stops and turns
back to his wife, just to make the few steps back to stand right next to her.
“But, I really have to lose weight! Just look at this!" She says accusingly
and points to the mirror right in front of her. When he turns his gaze to the
mirror, she can’t stop herself any longer and bursts out laughing, because
they are both standing in front of a distorting mirror, which makes them appear
fat. Sasuke grins and shakes his head in amusement and then continues down the
hall towards the door. "Hey, wait for me!" She exclaims and follows her husband
with quick steps down the hall. He waits for her in front of the door and
finally enters the actual mirror labyrinth, together with his wife.
 
“Do you really think I'm too thin?” She explores and lets the door close
behind her. "You are pretty the way you are. The thing is, even if you should
gain a few more pounds, you would still be beautiful. You don’t have to change
for me or anyone else." He explains reassuring to her and then looks around. He
is reflected several times on all sides. Sakura too is now looking at the
mirrors, in which they are both reflected like a kaleidoscope. "Well then, let's
search for the exit." Suggests the Uchiha and looks at his wife, who studies
herself in all the mirrors. Looking for the hidden path that should lead to the
end of the labyrinth, he slowly starts moving. "Hah! This way!” The green eyed
woman exclaims enthusiastically and walks towards one of the mirrors. "Or not."
She then reconsiders with a laugh and looks around before standing at her
husband's side again. “Make sure not to loose me!” She instructs him with a
serious look into his eyes. His throat suddenly goes dry at her words and
returns her gaze rigidly. It felt for him like she doesn't just mean that he
shouldn't lose her in this labyrinth. He swallows unnoticed and tries to smile
in amusement. "I will try very hard not to lose you." Putting an arm around her
shoulders, in order to strengthen his words even more, he pulls her close to
himself. His other hand placed on her head to gently caress it. Her fingers grip
into his sweater, while she closes her eyes with relish and leans her head
against his chest.

"Do we want to go on then?" He asks softly next to her ear. "Yes." A smile forms
on his lips at her response and entangles her fingers with his once again. "I
think it’s that way." He explains after a moment and points to a mirror
further to the left in the room. The two walk towards it and finally discover
the corridor behind one of the mirrors, which leads to the next of these larger
spaces in this maze of mirrors. After the short corridor they then finally enter
the next room. Sakura looks around in amazement. The rooms themselves aren't
actually that big, but the mirrors make them look much bigger. However, Sasuke
doesn't let that confuse himself and always finds the way to the next room
relatively quickly. Again they enter one of these rooms for the fifth time, as
she lets her hand slowly loosen from his and this time tries to find the way out
herself. With a slight smile, he watches her do so and then looks at the mirrors
more closely as he walks through the room. "Here!" He says when he has found the
passage and points in the direction where it is. His wife looks at him through
the mirror and smiles slightly. "I'll go ahead." He then explains his plan to
her and disappears into the corridor. "Hey! Wait for me!" The Haruno immediately
calls out for him and runs in the direction where she can make out her husband's
back.

She is heading straight for one of the mirrors, when he turns back around. He is
just about to warn her, but sees her slam into said mirror and a faint crack can
be heard. Immediately he runs back to her and supports her as she stumbles back,
while holding her head. "Ouch!" She whines and presses her hand to her forehead.
"Are you okay?" He questions, while pulling her hand from her forehead in search
for any injuries. "All right. In worse case it will leave a slight bump, so
nothing to worry about." He smiles reassuring at her and then looks at the
mirror, which has a small crack. "Wow. You sure have a hard little head there."
He comments with a slight laugh and looks back at her. She looks offended at his
sweater, making him laugh once more. “I said that if I panic, I'll destroy one
of the mirrors. Besides, I would have used my foot, instead of your pretty
head." He smiles and presses a gentle kiss on her forehead, making her blush
again. "So, and now," He starts and takes her hand in his as before and crosses
his fingers with hers. "I won't let go of you until we are out of here."
Agreeing with this, he gets a nod in response as she follows him into the next
corridor before they discover the door to the exit, two rooms later.
 
The black haired man exhales a little relieved, when they step outside through
the door and he can finally suck in some fresh air again. "Why did you want to
go in there anyway?" Interested, he looks at his wife next to him, who just
shrugs her shoulders happily. “Do you want to eat something now?” He
continues to explore. "Yes, please." She nods and the two start moving again.
“Do you want to go to the restaurant or do we order something from one of the
takeaways?” He asks further, watching her look around again. "Well, the
takeaways are simply what makes the amusement parks, what they are." Sakura
grins at him while still holding his hands. “So takeaway it is.” She hears
him reply with a nod and walks towards one with her on his side. "But it is
unusual for November to have such a warm and humid day again." She muses
silently and looks up into the dark night sky, which has spread over the Miracle
Land, because even if the weather on this day looks like summer, it is still
autumn and even soon winter. "Yes, but I couldn't have wished for the weather to
be better." The Uchiha smiles at her and then pulls her towards one of the food
stands.
 
"Choose something." He says with an inviting wave of his hand over the menu.
"I'll have a chicken burger, please." The pink haired woman smiles at the
seller. "And I'll get a hot dog." Sasuke adds and takes out his wallet from his
pocket. “Drinks?” Asks the seller in a friendly manner, while he is already
starting to prepare the food. "Ice tea?" The Uchiha looks questioningly at his
wife, who nods with an amused smile. He and his beloved iced tea. "One peach and
one lemon iced tea and a portion of french fries too." He replies to the
salesman, who nods and immediately puts two small bottles of iced tea on the
counter in front of him. Next to it a cardboard bowl with french fries and
finally the two plates with the burger and hotdog. Sakura immediately takes the
drinks and tucks them under her arm, before she takes the plate with the burger
and walks towards one of the bar tables behind her. Sasuke in the other hand
pays for the food and drinks, before he follows her with the hotdog and the
fries. Sitting down with his plate next to his wife, he immediately lifts his
food to his lips to bite into it. However, he stops himself when he makes out a
sudden flash and looks confused to his left, where Sakura has pointed the camera
at him with a big smile, making him shake his head with a roll of his eyes. For
her part, she lets her cell phone drop on the table to devote herself to her
chicken burger. With a slight smile, she looks at the scenery around her, which
is reminiscent of a fair. Only with the difference, that the floor is made of
cobblestones and not a field, as it’s usual at a fair, but the decoration and
the music and everything around it reminds her a lot of fairs from movies. She
is biting into her burger, when another flash of light appears again and sees
Sasuke with her smartphone in her hand and a grin on his lips. Smiling, he puts
the smartphone back on the table and reaches for the fries, while she takes a
picture of him again. After he has finished off his hotdog, he takes back her
cell phone and keeps taking pictures of her, regardless of whether she is biting
into her burger, puts it on the plate, takes some fries or sips on her ice tea.
 
The light flashes again and she holds up the burger, in order to hide part of
her face behind it. "Man, Sasuke! Stop it already!" She whines and keeps trying
to hide from him somehow, which doesn't quite work and makes her finally puts
the burger back on her plate to give him an angry look. Grinning, he takes one
last photo. “Sasuke!” She almost hisses and he smiles and puts her
smartphone on the table to devote himself back to the lonely fries, which are
almost getting cold. Shaking her head at his behaviour, she turns back to her
burger, in order to eat up the rest that’s still left. When she is done with
it, the two throw the cardboard dishes into the trash can and start walking
again. the young Haruno smiles softly and looks at the scene in front of her.
The place is bathed in soft lights, which shine from almost all sides and look
beautiful. Charmed by the scenery in front of her, she turns to her husband on
her right side, only to notice that he has disappeared. Confused, she stops and
looks around in all directions, but cannot see him anywhere. "Sasuke?!" She
calls out for him after a moment and into the soft music around her, but no
answer comes back. "It's an insolence to just disappear on a date." She grumbles
and crosses her arms over her chest. A sigh escapes her lips before she turns to
the scenery and takes a few photos with her smartphone.
 
Suddenly something pink shows up in front of the camera and animates her to hold
down her device. "Here." Her husbands voice sounds next to her and holds out a
cupcake that is covered with pink fondant and decorated with a small, white
sugar flower. "It reminded me of you." Sasuke explains with a smile, as she
takes the small pastry out of his hand. "Pink and cute." He then adds, which
makes her blush again. "Of course, there’s also cotton candy, which is pink
and sweet, but i-" He continues, but falls silent when her lips meet his. It
takes him a moment to realize that she is kissing him, before he returns the
kiss and pulls her closer to his chest. After a short moment they break the kiss
again and he watches her smile a bit embarrassed. "Thank you." His lips find
their way to her nose, where he places a kiss on its tip. loosening the baking
paper from the cupcake and immediately bites into it, before she holds it out to
her husband, so he can take a bite as well. However, he just shakes his head
with an amused smile. After all, he doesn’t like it too sweet.
 
"So, cupcake, what do you feel like doing next?" It comes searchingly from the
Uchiha and takes her hand back in his. “Not another roller coaster after we've
just eaten.” He then adds thoughtfully, although he himself wouldn’t mind
either way. A grin forms on the lips of his wife. "Yes, lets do another roller
coaster. As long as it’s not too high." She replies, making him raise an
eyebrow. “Which one?” He explores. Smiling, she points to one. "The Water
Coaster!" She announces the name of the attraction, which is located directly at
the sea and is one of the roller coasters. "Okay." It comes from him, as he nods
in agreement. Together they walk towards the water coaster which is already
brightly lit at this time, but is still well attended. The track consists of a
lift hill, five curves and a small hill, the deepest point leading through- and
then ending in the water. After a short wait, they can both get on the train,
looking for a place a little further back, so as not to be sprayed too wet at
the impact with the water. If they decide to sit in the first row, they would
get out completely soaked and neither of them wants to walk through the
amusement park like that. Then the ride starts to move and after a short while
the loud screaming of the women can be heard, because it goes downhill and
everyone gets splashed with water. The cold water splashes in all directions as
the train rushes through the sea. Some of the drops land on Sasuke, making him
jerk back slightly, as to not get completely showered. 

The train drives back into the station when the ride comes to an end. The safety
bars get de-secured again, as Sasuke gets out and wipes the water from his face.
His left sleeve got almost completely wet. His gaze falls on his wife, whose
right side doesn't look any different. A gentle smile pulls on his lips as he
watches her wiping the water from her cheek and then hides her hands in the
sleeves of her black vest, which she wears over the gray print shirt. He notices
that she feels cold, since the water is still cold, as usual for November.
Warming up now would be good for both of them. The Uchiha looks around
searchingly and discovers the toilets, which will definitely be equipped with a
warm air hand dryer. Immediately his fingers wrap around her hand and pull her
toward the building with the toilets.
 
"What now?" Sakura inquires in a good mood, after she is wearing a dry vest
again, which she has dried in the toilet. Of course she couldn’t stop herself
from making a selfie with Sasuke first, in which they look like two soaked
poodles. She looks up to the right and at her husband, stopping in her steps
only to watch him as if spellbound. Behind him stretches the beautiful and
romantic scenery, which has already enchanted her before. Confused, he watches
her as she takes her smartphone out of her small shoulder bag and holds it while
she takes a few steps back. He sighs softly and shakes his head before walking
towards her. "If you’re gonna do it, then at least do it properly." He
comments and takes the device from her small hands. She stares up at him,
somewhat perplexed, when she sees him approach someone. "Sorry, could you maybe
take a picture of me and my wife?" Sasuke asks one of the employees', who
immediately approaches them both. "Of course." The man smiles friendly and takes
the smartphone from him. "Thank you." The Uchiha responds with a nod and pulls
his wife back with him to the place where she stood before. When they have
arrived, he pulls her close to himself, with her back against his chest and his
head against hers. The young Haruno blushes slightly and smiles happily into the
camera. The flash illuminates the area for a moment, before it's already over
again. "I'll do a few more if you want!" The man calls out to the couple, which
makes her clings to her husband's arm with a happy smile.

A few minutes and a few pictures later, the two thank the man and take the
smartphone back. With a pleased squeak, Sakura immediately looks at the
pictures, which makes the Uchiha smile slightly. “Why are you taking so many
photos all the time today?” He finally explores with curiousity. "Well, we've
been married since June, but apart from the wedding photos and those from the
first date from the magazine, there aren't any of us." She mumbles softly. "And
because we didn't really know each other before marriage and didn't do anything
together, there aren't any photos of us either.” She looks up at him from her
smartphone as she continues. “We still need photos to stick in a photo album,
which we can look at years later and remember the good moments." Sakura smiles
blissfully. "I hardly think so." Sasuke shakes his head with a grin. "What? That
we will have a photo album?” She asks a little confused. "No, that we will
look through them later." He corrects with a slight grin and looks up from her.
 
“Hey, do we want to go to the Scare House?” He suggests, changing the
subject. He has raised his hand in the appropriate direction, as his index
finger points to the attraction. Sakura follows his gaze and briefly looks at
the building. "No." She shakes her head and stows her smartphone back in her
pocket. He studies her for a brief moment before a grin forms on his lips and he
lowers his face slightly to her. "I understand, you are scared and you don't
want to expose yourself to me." He explains knowingly. Unexpectedly, the young
Haruno looks up, bored. "No. I just don't know what's scary about it, it just
bores me out." She responds with a shrug of her shoulders. "You have to prove
that to me first!" He immediately throws in and takes her hand to pull her
towards the ghost train. After all, every woman screams in a ghost train.
 
Sighing, Sakura opens the access barrier for herself with her bracelet ID and
looks at the small crowd, which has formed a waiting line as only two people at
a time can enter the place. As soon the car disappear into the darkness of the
building, they can already hear the screams of girls. Sasuke observes his wife
with interest, who stands calmly next to him and looks over the fence that
separates the area of the ghost train and the other attractions. The girls who
drive into the house screech again and the pink haired girl can't help but roll
her eyes. Since several carriages drive at a certain distance from each other,
the line in front of the couple dissolves relatively quickly and they both get
their turn shortly afterwards. The empty car stops in front of the two of them
and the Haruno follows her husband's request and sinks onto the carriage's
bench. Sasuke sits down next to her and the carriage starts moving again.
Driving slowly from the spot, flooded by spotlight, towards the entrance to the
building and through a black, hanging curtain into the inside, which is also
kept relatively dark. Only the attractions inside are illuminated a little, as
they shoot out of their hidden places.
 
When Sakura sees the first scary attraction, which always makes the girls
scream, laughter breaks out of her instead, which she does again with every
further, terrifying attraction. In disbelief, the Uchiha watches his wife, who
is having a lot of fun instead of screaming in panic. It takes a moment before
he can turn his head back ahead. Again and again the car stops briefly and then
drives on again, his wife's laughter drowns out the screams of the other
visitors until it slowly falls silent. A small grin forms on her lips as she
averts her gaze from Sasuke and, when the car stops again, quietly and unnoticed
gets out. The car drives further forward and Sakura goes back into the direction
from which they came, with a big grin on her lips.
 
"Well, did you lost your laughter now?" Sasuke asks in amusement when he can’t
hear her any longer and looks around to her. However, the Haruno's place turns
out empty. Startled, the Uchiha gets up, while he is still considering whether
to jump over the back of the car, he just jumps out and walks back the distance,
through the darkness of the ghost train. "Sakura!" He exclaims while looking
around. He can hear her laugh, but it is not an amused laugh, as it was before,
but a horrific one. He slowly approaches her laughter, which seems to be moving
away from him at the same pace.
 
Again the dark laugh comes from her lips while she presses herself against the
dark wall and waits for the next passengers to arrive. She quietly hears the hum
of the car and puts the vampire mask, which she stole from a mannequin a few
meters away, over her face. She laughs again and jumps into the light next to
the car, making the girls in the wagon scream in panic before they disappear
back in the darkness. Sakura laughs in amusement and then continues back to a
larger square where they passed a few minutes earlier.
 
"Sakura!" Sasuke exclaims again when his wife's laughter ceases. In the next
moment he can hear panicked screams and then the amused laughter of his wife. At
least he knows she's fine when she can laugh like that. He calls out her name
again and then follows her gruesome laugh, walks past a car with two girls who
scream in shock when they see him walk past. But it doesn't bother him and keeps
walking until he comes to a stop at a larger square. His wife's laughter has
stopped. He looks around searching, but can hardly see anything in the darkness.
Suddenly something jumps at him from behind and immediately lets go of him
again. Startled, he turns around, hearing faint footsteps but not being able to
order them in any direction. In the next moment he gets a gentle push from
behind and immediately turns around to look into the face of a vampire with pink
hair, a little startled he lifts an eyebrow. Suddenly the vampire laughs and
pulls the mask off it’s head.
 
Sasuke exhales noisily with a shake of his head. "Are you scared?" He can hear
her explore with a grin as she puts the mask aside. “Yeah, for you. You can't
just get out of the carriage like that! Seriously, what were you thinking going
around doing such nonsense?” He accuses her with an angry hiss, before his
gaze softens. "I thought some perverted guy was hiding in here and kidnapped
you." He explains further to her and runs his fingers through his hair. "Don't
ever do that again." He chides her with a sigh, before pulling her into a hug
with relief. “Okay.” He can hear her say with a nod, before he lets her go
again. "Well, let's look for the back exit. We can hardly walk out there after
what you did." It comes from the Uchiha with a soft mumble and lets go of her
again. He squeezes his eyes a little to see something in the dark. When suddenly
a light appears behind him, he looks around in the direction and directly into
his wife’s camera. She smiles and looks at the photo, which makes her laugh
because it just turned out so perfect. Sasuke's gaze is dark and dangerous
because of his narrowed eyes while she stands in front of him with a mock panic
face.
 
The Uchiha's hand wraps around his wife's and then immediately pulls her back in
the direction from which they both came and follow the hidden emergency exit
signs. After a while, she laughs softly, making him look around at her in
confusion. "We're so bad." She murmurs in amusement. "Sneaking out secretly
through the back door." A smile forms on Sasuke's lips at her words, before he
feels the wall and pushes the curtain aside, exposing the door behind it which
he then opens. Sasuke looks cautiously out of the door and in all directions
before he looks back at his wife. "Everything is clear. Want to escape?" He
explores with an amused smile, when he hears his own question and holds out his
hand to her. She grins and puts her hand in his. His fingers tangling up with
hers.
 
"Run." He instructs and then pushes the door open a little so that they can both
run out and across the square, between the other attractions. Sakura laughs as
they walk across the place and finally come to a stop. She supports herself with
her hands on her knees and looks up at him. “There weren't any guards!” She
laughs and slowly sits up again. "I know, but if we're sneaking out secretly,
running away is part of it." Sasuke explains to her with a shrug of his
shoulders, while his lips escape an amused chuckle. Just what the heck is this
woman doing with him? He would have never imagined doing any of these things in
his entire life and still she is here making him do all that. "Didn't know you
could be funny too." She teases him with a smile and he can’t stop himself
from grinning again in response, before he pulls her close and presses a kiss on
her cheek. “There's not much going on at the Supersnake right now. Do you
still want to drive it?” It comes from him, while he puts his arm back around
her waist and is already walking towards the most popular roller coaster in the
amusement park. "Of course!" His wife exclaims enthusiastically. The two
approach the train and then stand in line. The pink haired woman looks around
briefly. It seems to have gotten quite late, because the number of visitors has
been reduced by half and most of the remaining visitors are rather gathered by
the carousels, bumper cars and such.

She looks around at him with a slight smile. "It's getting late." He just muses,
which she already noticed. She nods and then looks forward again to where the
train is coming to a halt. Since 22 people can fit into the entire train, the
crowd in front of them is reduced relatively quickly and so, one trip later,
it's already their turn. With a happy smile, the Haruno sits there and waits for
the protective bars to fall over her.
 
After everyone has got in and the security bars have moved down and lie down
over the upper bodies of the visitors, the train slowly starts moving. They
drive up the lift hill and then along a horizontal stretch. Since the two sit in
the front row, the first thing they see is of course what is coming. The smile
disappears from Sakura’s lips and her heart begins to pound harder and faster.
Her hand that lies between her and Sasuke on the bench, tightens into a fist and
she squeezes her eyes together fearfully. A smile pulls on her husband's lips
when he notices this and gently puts his hand around hers. Surprised, she looks
up at him and sees him smile encouragingly at her before the carriage drives a
bit forward and immediately dashes down into the depths. Sakura joins he women
in the back and starts to scream, while the wind blows her hair in all possible
directions. The train takes a rapid right curve, continues down and with the
momentum up again. When they get to the top, his wife laughs before the car
quickly descends again and into a loop. From this point on, the train leads out
to sea, only for a short stretch. They take a left turn and then straight back
into a right turn up another lift hill. From this it goes on into a helix, from
which they drive up a lift hill again with a lot of force, but slow down until
the carriage rushes down backwards. Women scream in panic, while Sakura squeezes
her husbands hand harder. Even Sasuke squeezes his eyes shut in that moment,
since the fall backwards is quite unusual and breath knocking.

When the carriage has rolled back down the mountain backwards, it rolls a bit
back up the mountain behind it. The switches switch again and the carriage rolls
back to the front, into a curve and up a lift hill for one last bit of speed.
The train goes back down the mountain, past two curves and finally ends again in
the station. With a pounding heart, Sakura gets off before she laughs aloud,
because this train is just amazing and simply too high for her, but she feels
that it was worth any risk for her to be able to ride this train. Sasuke's heart
is also beating hard against his chest because of this crazy ride. "Okay." The
Haruno utters after her heart has calmed down again. "What now?" She continues
and looks up at him questioningly, watching him shrug his shoulders with a
slight smile. "Let's walk around a bit and see what will catch our eyes.” He
suggests after a moment of thinking. To show her agreement, she nods and then
entangles her hand with his again. Together they stride across the square in the
direction of the still prevailing crowds. The Ferris wheel, any carousels and
shooting stands are still very well attended. The pink-haired woman looks around
with a slight smile when something comes into her field of vision that puts a
happy smile on her face. A photo booth. "Come, Sasuke! Let's go over there!" She
immediately exclaims happily and points to the photo booth. The Uchiha follows
her request in silence and approaches the machine with her, stops in front of it
and examines it in silence.

"And now?" He inquires, although he knows exactly what she wants from him. "Go
in there!" She instructs him and points to the open curtain. "Why?" He asks and
puts his hands in the pockets of his jeans. “Because I want to take more
photos.” She explains to him obediently. "No." He utters and suddenly feels
her hands on his arm, with which she tries to push him in. "Please!" He can hear
her whine pleadingly, making him look back at her. "You have already made enough
today." He continues to resist and remains on the spot, although he actually
only wants to tease her. "But not like this!" She begs further and keeps trying
to push him into the cabin. “What is so special about these photos?” He asks
and has to suppress a laugh as she presses her back against his arm. “I just
love photos like that, they have something special about them.” She explains
with another whine and turns around again. Sasuke sighs, playing annoyed.
"Whatever." It comes over his lips with a hum, before he takes a step into the
cabin and his wife almost falls to the ground as her resistance suddenly
disappears. "Careful, little clumsy." The Uchiha says while he catches her and
suppresses a laugh.
 
The two sit in the photo booth as Sakura closes the curtain. Sasuke in the other
hand throws in the desired amount of money before looking seriously at the
camera. She looks at him briefly before looking ahead just as seriously. "Come
on, Sasuke! Smile already!“ She complains with a sigh and puts an arm around
his neck, to place her index fingers at the corners of his mouth and pull them
up. "Don't do that." He exclaims with a growl and shrugs off her hands
immediately. He has been smiling all day and he seriously doesn’t mind, but
it’s a whole different story if she comes and forces him to smile. Snapping,
she sticks out her tongue, which he does as well. "Damn, you’re so childish."
It comes from him, teasingly. Outraged, she crosses her arms, turns her face
forward and puffs up her cheeks. A smile creeps onto his lips before he puts his
arms around her and presses a kiss on her pouty cheek. "I don't mean it
seriously." He just whispers into her ear, watching her drops her arms and look
a little surprised up at him. "I just like to tease you." He explains with a
smile and approaches her to give her a gentle kiss. Shyly she returns the short
kiss, which he breaks right after, to look at her with a gentle smile. “So I'm
not childish?” She asks quietly and uncertainly. "Well yeah, you are, but that
doesn’t really bother me. It’s cute." He explains while cuddling against
her. "Let's take a look at the photos." She suggests after a moment with a
slight shy smile and gets up to leave the cabin, push the curtain aside and
steps out. Reluctantly, the Uchiha follows her, as he actually wanted to cuddle
with her a bit longer and looks over her shoulder at the five photos.

On the first they both look serious, on the second she pulls his lips up into a
smile, on the third they show each other their tongues, the fourth shows his
kiss on her cheek and the fifth the real kiss. “They are pretty.” The pink
haired exclaims happily and stows the series of photos into her small shoulder
bag. Sasuke nods in silence when he sees one of the attractions and smiles
sneaky at her. "Wanna ride another attraction before we go home?" He turns back
to her and watches her nod. "Of course." She responds with a smile and feels how
he takes her hand back in his. "Good and since you scared me so much earlier, I
can choose this time." He says and immediately heads for the attraction. Sakura
laughs softly and looks at him in defeat. "Okay." She agrees and looks to all
sides. "Well? What is it that you want to do?" They can hear the music from the
carousels as they walk across the square, until Sasuke finally decides to stop.
"This one." He explains with a grin and as she looks ahead, her heart pauses for
a moment. The Ferris wheel. She swallows hard and hesitantly follows her husband
to the entrance. "Does it have to be this one? That's too high for me." She
whines and grabs the fabric of his sleeve. "Oh nonsense. You can do it. The ride
only takes 10 minutes." He smiles encouragingly and puts his arm around her
shoulders. "Besides that, I'm also there." Again she swallows fearfully as they
approach the access barrier and open it with their IDs.

One of the cabins stops in front of them and the guard opens the door, so that
the two can get in and the man locks the door behind them properly. Sakura
immediately claws her fingers into the thin wood of the bench, on which she is
sitting across from Sasuke. He smiles encouragingly at her before he looks
around briefly and realizes that he doesn't like this room either. It's a little
too small for his claustrophobia, but he tries not to let it show. If she
notices it, she would panic and he wouldn't know what to do to calm her.
 
The gondola begins to move slowly, almost unnoticed. If you couldn't see through
the windows to the left and right, you wouldn't even notice that the Ferris
wheel is moving slowly. With a pounding heart, Sakura clings to the bench while
she squeezes her eyes and just prays that it will be over soon. Meanwhile, her
husband tries to distract himself with the view outside the window. “Don't you
want to take a picture of the view? It's breathtaking." He finally asks with a
gentle smile and looks around at her. Pressing her lips together, she shakes her
head. "It would definitely be worth it." He smiles and leans his head back
against the wall of the gondola. "Relax yourself. Concentrate on something
else." He continues and sounds as relaxed as possible while his heart beats up
to his throat. "It’s over soon." He says more to himself than to her and
suddenly he asks himself why he wanted so desperately to come up here again in
the first place. It’s like the fear is fogging his memories. At the moment
when the gondola reaches the highest point of the Ferris wheel, it suddenly
jerks and Sakura falls forward into her husband's arms. The wheel comes to a
standstill and the gondola swings back and forth slightly. Startled, she
straightens up and looks around. The right hand prayed on his chest. “What
happened?” She asks, slightly panicked. "I don't know." The Uchiha utters,
while desperately trying to concentrate on his breath and heartbeat.

Her gaze is directed to her hand, which lays right above the pounding heart of
her husband. "Your claustrophobia." She murmurs softly and stares into his face.
"How can you sit here so calmly, while your heart is beating like that because
of the adrenaline?" She asks and looks him into his dark grey eyes, stunned at
how much he has himself under control. “When I'm calm and relaxed, you're more
likely to relax. If you knew that I also have problems with this gondola, you
would get a panic attack.” He explains calmly. A sigh escapes his lips and
places his hand over Sakura's. "I'm sorry, I'm screwing up our whole date with
this gondola ride." He says ruefully and looks down at the hand he is gently
caressing. "I thought it might be a little romantic climax, but it just destroys
everything." He mumbles on, not expecting her to suddenly shake her head.
“That's not true. You didn’t destroy anything. I should just have listened
to you and relaxed." She shrugs off his statement. “I shouldn't have brought
you in here. Sorry." He looks up into her eyes apologetically, seeing how she
shakes her head again. Seeing how she intends to say something again, his lips
gently find their way on hers. He kisses her lips lovingly while his hands lay
on her cheeks, feeling how she holds onto his forearms and shyly returns the
kiss.

He gently releases the kiss after a while with a smile. "Give me your
smartphone, I'll take a picture for you." He whispers and nudges her nose with
his. Quickly she takes out her device from her bag like he wanted and hands it
to him. She could never say no to memories. She slips off of his lap and watches
him move to the window to take a picture. "Here." Smiling, he hands her back her
smartphone, which she immediately puts back in her pocket and lets herself get
pulled back onto his lap. She looks him in the eyes, almost shyly. A smile forms
on his lips as his heartbeat slowly finally normalizes. His hands rest on her
cheeks and pull her towards him, into another tender kiss. His right thumb
brushes her cheek and her hands run down his forearms over the sleeves of his
sweater, to the back of his neck. His hands carefully wrap around her upper body
and pull her close to him. Her heartbeat also regulates slowly. The fact that
they are hanging 200 feet over the ground is slowly fading into the background.
 
Slowly and unnoticed by the two of them, the gondola starts moving again. With a
slight smile, he releases the kiss and leans his forehead against hers. Sakura
in the other hand closes her eyes with relish and lets out a sigh. She is lucky
to have him. She never wanted to quite accept it, but she isn’t able to any
longer. He knows how to take her fear away and calm her down in a panic
situation. Something that not even her brother could do. Suddenly there is a
soft drumming, which makes her look surprised at the window pane, on which she
can see the first raindrops. "I should thank you." She mumbles softly and looks
back into his face. "What for?" He explores a little surprised. "This may sound
stupid, but..." She looks hesitant into his breathtaking grey eyes. “Thank you
for putting both of us into such a situation and not only me. So it was kind of
fair. And somehow... i feel like you helped me a little to face my fear. So,
thank you." She mumbles, slightly embarrassed, because she actually considers
her statement to be the purest nonsense, but he just responds with a soft laugh.
"You’re so cute." He whispers and gives her a little kiss on the tip of her
nose. Sakura immediately turns red and looks embarrassed at his blue sweater.
 
“Shall we go home?” Sasuke inquires as he rubs her back up and down with his
hand. He doesn’t show it to her, but he’s glad that he could help her with
something this serious. "Yes." She smiles slightly and then looks out of the
window, as the lights shine into the gondola again. The journey ends and the
ferris wheel comes to a standstill, as the guard opens the gondola door. The
couple gets out and are immediately hit by the big raindrops, quickly leaving
the area of the ferris wheel. Sasuke looks at her with a slight smile. “I'm
faster at the exit.” She explains to him and already runs off towards the
exit. "Hey. Wait!” He calls after her in surprise and follows her immediately,
before he lets out an amused snort. His mother sure got him a playful and
childish wife there. “Decades will pass if i have to wait for you!” She
exclaims with a laugh, but gets caught immediately by him, as he holds onto her
hand with a chuckle. "Sheesh. Seems like you can run after all!" She laughs,
which also elicits a laugh from him before they reach the exit and can take
shelter under the roof. Returning their bracelet IDs, Sasuke goes to the cash
register and pays for the IDs, while Sakura just takes a look back at the
amusement park.

Sakura pulls her smartphone out of her pocket with a smile on her lips,
intending to take one last pic of the amusement park. Even now that it started
raining, it still looks so breathtakingly beautiful. “Ready to go home?” She
can hear her husbands voice from behind, before she can feel his arm wrapping
around her waist and looks up to him with a smile. She nods and turns around
with him as they start walking over the with rain soaked asphalt, towards the
parking lot. While they are still walking, Sasuke unlocks his car with it’s
remote. Quickly the both of them escape into the car, where Sakura quickly takes
off her vest and instead puts on a jacket, which she has taken with her and left
in the car, in case that the weather should change. And she’s glad that she
has listened to her intuition. Meanwhile, Sasuke takes off his sweater, before
he starts the engine to turn on the heater. His gaze turns to his wife, who
replies to his silent stare with a gentle smile. Without saying anything, he
turns slightly to his right and puts his right leg on the seat, in order to be
able to get closer to her. His hand hold her by the back of her head, pulling
her closer to himself for a kiss. Her hand is leaning on the arm rest in between
of them, as she closes her eyes and moves closer to her husband. Carefully, she
gets pulled more onto his side of the car, until his head leans against his
window, with her half on top of him and her hands resting on his thighs. His
lips break away from hers, only to replace it with a new, deeper kiss. His arms
have long since found their way around her back, pulling her further down and
onto himself, until she lies completely on top of him.
 
He loosens his lips from hers rather unwillingly after a long and passionate
kiss. His eyes stay closed, listening in to his and her uneven breathes. He
feels hot and he can not deny it. "Should we go home, or spend the night at the
hotel?" He breathes against her lips, eyes still closed. Unaware of her bright
flushed cheeks, or the fact that the way he asked the question, sounded more
than just innocent. All he can feel and hear is the quick and gentle peck of her
lips on his. "Let's go home." She replies just as quietly. "Okay.” But even if
he says so, he just puts back his lips on hers, listening in to her soft giggle.
"Sasuke... we have to stop for that." He hears his wife giggle in between his
hot kisses. "I don't want to." It comes from him with a mumble and follows her
up with a dissatisfied hum, when he feels her move down from him. Her lips
escaping another giggle. He finds it strange, how much he has come to like
listening to her soft giggles. His eyes are still closed, as he cuddle close to
her and feels her hand caressing over his warm cheek. "But I want to get out of
my jeans." Her lips close to his ear, she whispers those words into his ear,
making him shudder slightly. It escapes his throat in the form of a dark hum,
while he just keeps occupying her lips. "Besides, it's more comfortable in a
bed." Her last words make him pause and move away from her, to look deep into
her eyes, finally taking notice of her bright red cheeks. A slight gasp escapes
her lips and nervously tugs a stand of her hair behind her ear, when she can see
his dilated pupils. She has never seen him like that. A small grin forms on his
lips at her reaction, before he sinks back into his seat and fastens his seat
belt. Sakura too fastens up completely flustered, watching him drive down the
almost empty parking lot and directly back toward the highway, from which they
came hours ago. Averting her gaze out of the wet window on her side and into the
darkness, the young woman slips out of her ballerinas and pulls her legs up to
her upper body. Sasuke throws a glance into her direction, before concentrating
back on the street with a smile. His heart is still beating him up to his throat
and he feels so incredibly hot. Letting one of his thumbs run over his lower
lip, he breathes out deep, but quietly. He has never felt this way before in his
entire life and that’s why it confuses him so much. He can’t tell what this
means, or what he’s supposed to do with it. 
 
Not even half an hour passes, in which they drive home in silence. Each of them
delving in their own thoughts, until a bright light suddenly illuminates the sky
and a loud sound of a crash makes them both startle out of their deep thoughts.
However, unlike Sasuke, his wife reacts quite shocked about it, looking out of
the front window and into the sky. Another light illuminates the whole sky,
before a loud thunder crackles and roars so loudly, she could swear it was
shaking the earth. At the next moment, the young woman's heart begins to beat
faster. Throbbing against her chest in panic as she hides her face on her knees
with a soft whimper. Her husband, who heard her slight shriek, takes a worried
glance to his right, where his wife has curled up in her seat. Knowing that this
less of weather is enough to shake awake her fears, he sees how she is sitting
totally cramped in her seat. Suddenly the brave woman who made fun of the
passengers from the ghost ride, is completely gone and replaced by a shivering
and whining little girl. He can see from the angle of his eyes, how her fingers
claw tightly into her jacket, as her knuckles must be already sticking out
white. "Are you okay?" He explores worried about her condition. He knows how
much she hates such weather. He knows what it can do with her. After all, he has
already experienced several thunderstorms with her through their marriage. But
he has never seen her tense up like this because of it. She’s sitting there
just as tense, if not even worse than back on the ferris wheel. "Yes, of
course." She says against her knees, but he doesn’t believe her words. She’s
not okay at all. He can see it and he can even hear it in her trembling voice.
"Should I stop so that you can lie in the back, or do you want to hold my hand?"
He asks instead, intending to stay careful with his words, but she just shakes
her head. "I'll be fine." He hears her mumble while she’s bravely trying to
concentrate on her breathing. Concerned, he turns his gaze forward again, before
he briefly removes one hand from the steering wheel to turn on the radio. Music
immediately fills the car and even swallows the roaring thunder a little.

But still, his tries seem not to help, as his wife keeps staying this cramped
for the rest of the ride home. Even after they have left the highway, she
hasn’t changed a bit. She feels like she’s sitting on a branch, 350 feet
above the ground. The thunderstorm doesn’t cease, as masses of rainwater pours
to the ground. Again and again, the whole city is drowned in light. Sasuke
silently turns off the engine and takes off the key, watching as his wife
immediately unfastens her seatbelt and practically flees out of the car. Sasuke
also quickly gets out and walks around the car he has parked in the villa's
garage. Approaching her, he touches her cheek to caress over it and looks deep
into her emerald eyes. His arms move around her, to pull her into a strong
embrace. He wants her to know that he is with her and that he won’t leave her
alone. That she can depend on his warmth too. He can feel her slowly, but
surely, calm down with every breath. Until her heart beats slow and regular
again. "Are you okay?" He asks once more next to her ear, listening to her
taking another deep breath, before she lifts up her head to look up at him and
give him an earnest smile. "Yes. Thank you, Sasuke." She utters and sees him
smile back with relief, before he cuddles his nose back into the crook of her
neck to suck in her scent. “I’m glad.” He whispers relieved and closes his
eyes for a moment, but looks up startled, when she suddenly breaks the hug to go
to the door and unlock it.
 
He looks after her with new worry. She just said that she’s okay, but still
something isn’t right. Her smile a moment ago seemed so earnest and now he has
to notice, that in reality, she just gave him her first fake smile. He knows
that she's afraid of thunderstorms, but he's never seen her so panicked because
of it. Neither that she would give him a fake smile after he seriously tried to
make sure of her wellbeing. Letting out a deep sigh, he runs his hand through
his hair and takes her wet vest and sweater out of the car before he locks it
and also enters the house. Taking of his shoes, he locks the connecting door,
before turning around and following the passage to the foyer. A flash of
lightning flashes and illuminates the living room, as well as the kitchen and
the foyer. The roaring thunder following right after. He doesn't need to see his
wife to know how she just flinched. He just has to quickly check whether the
windows are all closed and then he can be with her. The Uchiha stops in the
middle of the foyer and briefly looks up the stairs. She is always trying to
appear strong in nights of thunderstorms, but he can see how much it really
hurts her mentally. Putting the wet clothes over the railing of the stairs and
his shoes in front of the entrance door, he turns back around to check the
windows.
 
Suddenly a loud crack sounds right above their house, as if a tree just split in
two, accompanied by a bright flash of lightning which illuminates the
surroundings so brightly that for a moment he can only see white. With the
bright flash, the light suddenly disappears from the whole house, leaving them
in complete darkness. Sasuke hears his wife cry out in shock when the light goes
out around her and stands alone in the darkness. She raises her gaze to the
light switches, but no matter how many times she presses it, the light wont come
back. The thunder rumbles deep and dark, making her feel again as if the ground
is vibrating, forcing her down on the carpet on the bathroom floor. The door
gets thrown open and Sasuke almost rushes in to her. "Sakura, are you okay?" He
asks for the third time this evening, before he kneels down and takes her into
his arms. "I was just shocked because the lights suddenly went of..." The Haruno
mumbles and looks up hesitantly. The constantly flashing lightning shows the
outline of her husband, who doesn’t take off his eyes from her. "Wait here a
moment." He whisper calmly and presses a kiss on her forehead, before he gets up
and leaves the bathroom for a moment. Like a small child, she presses her hands
over her ears and squints as the thunder and lightning never stop twitching,
rumbling and crashing loudly and scare her to her core.
 
Sasuke comes back to her after a moment and gently takes her hands in his to
pull her back up and lead her out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom. The
curtains are already closed, not allowing the bright lightning to enter the
room. the only thing that keeps lighting up the room, are candles with their
faintly flickering flames. She can make out three candles on her bedside table
and three on his, which Sakura had put there earlier that week. Three candles of
different sizes, one white, one brown and one beige. Sasuke must have lit them
to bring light into the room. "We have a power outage, so unfortunately we have
to be content with the candles." She hears her husband explain right behind her,
when he must have noticed her staring at the candles. A slight smile forms on
her lips, before she turns around and putts her arms around her husband's neck.
He gently replies to her hug, by pulling her closer by her waist and presses his
lips on her forehead. Sakura lifts her head slightly and gets up on her toes to
close up to his lips. They stay like that for a while in silence, feeling and
listening in to each other’s steady breathing. Her lips touch his for a soft
peck. “I’m sorry...” She whispers against his lips, hearing a sudden
shudder in his breath before he swallows hard. “What for...?” A smile pulls
on her lips at his question, breathing another kiss on his lips. “For worrying
you.” A soft moan escapes her lips, when he returns the kiss gently and lowers
his head more to her, seemingly not satisfied with just a few pecks, as he lets
their lips meet over nod over again. Sakura smiles shyly into the kiss, which he
releases immediately to replace it with another. His lips open slightly to suck
and nibble on her lower lip, making her moan.

One of his hands releases from her waist and instead leans on the back of her
neck, gently pressing her head even closer to his. There is this sudden heat
again, which he has felt back in the car. His heart starts to rise and his
breath becomes more erratic. He releases her lips with a soft smooch, watching
how she kisses him once again. He smiles warmly into the kiss and presses her
upper body flush against his with one hand. Her stomach pressing against his,
while he opens his lips and lets his tongue slip between her lips to nudges
hers. Not releasing the kiss, Sakura takes a step back, causing him to
immediately follow her with slow steps, until they end right on the edge of
their bed. Their play of tongues becomes deeper and deeper, until he lets out a
shaky breath and presses his lips against hers. She moans deep into the kiss,
while he keeps playing with her tongue and roams with his hands over her body.
Sakura too lets her arms drop from his neck and he can feel her fumbling with
her hands between their bellies. When she can feel her legs pressed against
their bed, she releases the kiss with a gasp and lets herself fall back onto the
mattress, her cheeks tinted red just like he likes them and slides further up
into the bed towards the pillow and looks at her husband. A small grin lies on
his lips when he sees his wife fiddling with the knob of her jeans, trying to
pull it off her legs. Slowly he kneels on the bed and crawls towards his wife,
gazing down at her when he kneels right above her. His fingers run over her
skin, starting at her knuckles, sliding down her knees and back up to her pelvis
and waist. Smiling, Sakura straightens up a bit when he approaches her again and
immediately returns his passionate kiss. His hand slips underneath her shirt and
caresses her warm and soft belly. Pushing her back into the pillow, he breaks
the kiss with a sigh and smiles lovingly at her, only to replace it with another
deep play of tongues. She too lets her hand wander underneath his shirt,
touching his skin and gently pulls the fabric up. Further up to his chest and he
briefly releases the kiss, to let her pull the shirt over his head.
 
Smiling, he lowers his head to her neck to smooch and caress the skin there. He
can hear her breath heavily because of the many passionate kisses and he can’t
stop himself from spreading many gentle kisses on her skin, while his hands
caress her stomach with tender touches, down to her back. With one hand he
sneaks underneath her back and pulls her lower body up and presses her against
his. He breathes as if the breath being knocked out of his lungs, when he can
feel her rub herself against him right there. With a flowing swift movement, he
changes their position and lets her lie on top of him. Sakura's lips suck on the
skin above his raging pulse, which he accepts with a smile, while he opens and
pushes down his jeans to his knees, before he frees his legs from the fabric.
His hands move underneath her shirt and over her belly again, before he goes up
and gives her clothed mounds a soft squeeze. He gets a gasp in response and it
animates him to try it again, massaging her two breasts with deep care. He can
hear he moan and it makes him suddenly feel even hotter. In search for her lips,
he breathes shakily against hers and gets her into another deep and passionate
kiss. Sakura carefully sits on his stomach and brushes her hands over his chest,
feeling how her husband sits up slowly, making her slip into his lap. And again
he feels his breath being knocked out of his lungs by it, as she straddles him.
His hands brush over her belly, down her sides, up to her shoulders and back
down again. He finally grabs the hem of her shirt and releases the kiss, before
he pulls her shirt up and over her head, throwing it at his feet and off the
bed. His hands come to rest on her waist and hers on his cheeks, before lowering
her lips back to his. He can’t stop himself from growling into the kiss and
close his eyes with satisfaction. Surprisingly, this heat inside of him isn’t
uncomfortable.

Sasuke lets himself sink back into the pillow and in the next moment turns
around with her again, kneeling in between her legs, straddling her. He wants
this feeling to continue. He releases their passionate kiss with a smooch to
place many small ones on her neck and décolleté. Smiling, he indulges in his
newly found hobby and starts sucking on her skin, right on her beating pulse. He
also sucks a hickey right underneath her right ear before he approaches her lips
with a smile, only to kiss her eagerly and he can’t stop himself from touching
her breasts to give them another squeeze. A deep moan escapes her throat and he
sees it as an invitation to do it once more, massaging her, until she releases
the passionate kiss to gasp for air. She smiles gently at him through heavy
breathes, which he replies with a smile of his own. "Sasuke." She breathes out
his name between heavy breathes. Attentive, and breathing just as hard as she,
he looks into her eyes as he sits down in bed to her right. Smiling, she beds
her head on his left forearm and looks up at him. "Thank you." It comes over her
lips and this time he can truly see her earnest smile again. It relieves him.
"What for?" He explores between breathes and kisses her fingertips with which
she approaches his face. "You awakened memories in me that I almost forgot and
at the same time, you created new, wonderful memories with you. I... I’m so
glad that you became a part of my life." She explains and gently caresses his
cheek. "I'm so grateful to you for that." She says quietly and watches a warm
smile settle on her husbands lips. He doesn't reply and just presses his lips
back on hers. He turns to her left side and breaks the kiss, wrapping his arm
around her stomach and pulls her back to his chest. "I’m glad that i could do
so." He whispers into her ear and kisses her left shoulder tenderly.

Her hand rests on his arm, gently caressing over it. With a slight smile, he
sucks on the skin on her shoulder and leaves a hickey there too, before moving
his face back to her ear. Smiling, he starts licking and nibbling on her
earlobe, immediately getting a shudder and moan in response. He takes her hand,
to cross his fingers with hers. She turns her head to him and turns slightly in
the mattress until she lies with her back in it and looks sideways at Sasuke.
Sakura smiles lovingly, when he lowers his head to her for a brief kiss.
Breaking the kiss again, he lets out a sigh, breathing a gentle kiss on the back
of her hand, which is still crossed with his, before letting go of the hand.
Moistening his fingertips briefly, he then extinguishes the three candles on her
bedside table. His fingers find hers again right after, moulding his lips with
hers again and lays himself down on top of his wife. Pushing their entangled
hand over her head, while the other catches hers as well and places it next to
the other ones over her head. He opens his lips, as does she, letting him plunge
his tongue into her oral cave as if by itself, where he was already eagerly
awaited by her. The Uchiha breathes heavily when he separates from his wife's
lips again, closing his eyes for a moment to take in the moment. They loosen
their hands, as they already end up in another passionate kiss, a fight of
tongues that neither of them wants to lose. 

"Sasuke?" She murmurs breathless from all the kissing. "Hmm?" He hums deep from
his throat. "You're lying on my shirt." She mumbled on, which makes him chuckle
slightly before he sits up in bed again. Smiling, he takes away the shirt she
just took from the bed and instead pulls her back for another French kiss.
 
He gently loosens his lips from hers and pulls the shirt back over her head.
Sakura laughs softly and then kisses him again before pulling the other shirt,
which is still lying in bed, over his head. Sasuke smiles and slips into its
sleeves before he puts his hands back on her head and presses her face very
close to his for another passionate kiss. Slowly he loosens his hands from her
face and grabs the blanket, sinking back into the pillows. He gently releases
the kiss and replaces it with tender, loving kisses, as he notices that his wife
is already tired. The Uchiha gently kisses her forehead before she cuddles onto
his left shoulder, her ear leaning right above his heart, which is beating so
fast. He carefully puts his arms around his wife, who has already fallen asleep
and doesn’t even take notice of the roaring thunder any longer, which makes
the earth vibrate slightly. Sasuke smiles and wets his fingers once more to
extinguish the candles on his bedside. Wrapping both arms back around her, he
pulls his wife on top of himself again, before he too closes his eyes with a
satisfied smile, unable to stop thinking about the heavy and hot feeling he has
been feeling ever since earlier this day.
