Chapter 11 - Chapter 11 - Unforgettable Memories part 1

They all looked at each other thinking where are they really going? Angeline suggested if they can go to a funfair or amusement park with arcades, pool, and rooms to sleep overnight.

Angeline: Hmmm.. let's go to Alton Towers!! They have a hotel where you can sleep overnight, they have lots of rides, and they have waterpark too.

Raphael: Waterpark? There will be lots of water then right?

Michael: Oh right!

Gabriel: Why? What is wrong with water?

Angeline: Nothing's wrong. It is just his first time to go to a water park I guess.

Gabriel: Ah okay.

Michael: Okay, let's go. Angeline, let's go at the front, we don't have much time.

Angeline: Okay, and let's get a fast track too, so we don't need to queue up for long time and we can enjoy many rides.

Michael: We got almost 2 days.

Angeline: Yup, but they have too much rides and attractions, so we will split the time, we will get fast track for the first day and enjoy the rides with fast track, then we will enjoy the rest the next day.

Michael: Okay, fair enough.

Angeline: Good. Let's go. Let's turn on the music too.

Gabriel: Good idea, but wait, isn't it only open during summer?

Angeline: I will check.

Angeline cheks the Alton Towers if it is open and saw it is open but only for a few days due to holiday season events going on.

Angeline: Wow, it is closed on most days since autumn started but good thing it is open for a few days during this season and it is open. We can still go for an overnight or 2 nights but I have to go to work soon.

Gabriel: You can take the day off and besides, you still got lots of money.

Angeline: I already got 5 days off since I told my manager that I will be busy.

Michael: How about choosing a different day?

Angeline: Hmmm.. I will ask my manager then.

Michael: Alton Towers it is for 2 nights!

After awhile listening to music and singing on their way to Alton Towers, Marius noticed Raphael is acting strange.

Marius: Raphael is quiet and deep in thought!

Angeline turned around and read his mind. Raphael is worried about going to Alton Towers, although he is excited, it is his first time going after all.

Angeline: Oh he is probably thinking about our journey, since this is his first time. Don't worry, Raphael, I am sure you will have fun and everything will be alright.

Raphael: Thanks Angeline.

Angeline: Well, it is my first time too but I have been to some place similar.

Raphael: Really?

Michael: You've never been there?

Angeline: Yeah..

Michael: I think I got an idea.

Angeline: About what?

Michael: Secret. *to propose one day*

Angeline: Haha! You're saying it is secret but you're thinking about it. (blushes)

Michael: Oh right! I forgot that you can... nevermind.

Gabriel: What is going on? What are you two talking about?

Raphael: It is better for you not to know.

Gabriel: You understand what they are talking about?

Raphael: Yeah

Marius: What is this? Is there something that me and Gabriel does not know about Angeline?

Raphael: Nothing really important *for you*.

Angeline: Can we stop talking about me? I need to.. ah.. how far are we still?

Michael: Around 1 hour.

Angeline: Can we stop for a while? I need to go to the back of the van, at the toilet inside.

Angeline went out of the front seat to go to the back and went inside the toilet room of the van. Suddenly, a van parked behind theirs and the man driving the van came out and asked them.

Man: Hey, are you guys alright?

Michael: Yeah, we're alright.

Gabriel: There is no problem. We're just taking a break.

Man: Oh okay. If there is any problem, just let me know. I work at a car shop. Here is my business card.

Gabriel: Okay, thank you sir.

The man left and Angeline got out of the toilet room inside their van. When the man came back to his van, the man was thinking how amazing the van he just saw as it looks like a mini house inside, and they seem to be really alright and can take a break, as long as they can park the van and since the van is in a parking lot or parking space for emergency when someone needs help. The man also thought that there was really an emergency but it seems that they can handle it since their van looks amazingly like a small house. Michael started driving again as soon as Angeline got back to her seat and put on the seat belt.

Michael: Phew! I thought he was a police and we are not allowed to park here.

Marius: Isn't there any shops close by?

Michael: There is but it is still 10-15mins drive.

Marius: Oh I see. What kind of shop?

Angeline: Fast food.

Marius: Can we drop by? I want to buy a coffee.

Raphael: We have coffee here, hot water, milk, and sugar.

Marius: Oh, how about burger?

Raphael: No, we didn't bring any.

Marius: Let's drop by the fast food then.

Michael: Okay but only for few minutes. We can't stay long, we need to be at the Alton Towers before the check in time, or Angeline can book it online, since we are going to use fast track.

Angeline: Okay, I will try to book us online for a room or 2 rooms. We need a room good for 5 people or 2 rooms for 2 and 3.

Gabriel: Who will be at the room for 2 if we cannot get a room for 5?

Michael: That would be me and Angeline.

Gabriel: What?

Raphael: Let us just hope to get a room for 5.

Michael: *I hope there will be no room for 5. So I can be with her alone.*

Raphael: *I wonder what you are planning with her, Michael. You know all of us loves her and cares about her, even if you're her boyfriend. You're not married yet.*

Michael: *Today's generation is different.*

Raphael: *You know you will lose your powers because the pearl can detect when you are thinking about something evil.*

Michael: *Don't worry, it is not evil. I just want to be alone togethet with her, then we can cuddle. You know.*

Raphael: *Still.. you can't..*

Angeline: Okay, got it!

Michael and Raphael: Which room?

Angeline: *Seriously, you two. You guys are being obvious, good thing Gabriel and Marius does not know you guys are arguing about it right now.* Most of their rooms are good for 4 to 5 people, and only few rooms are for couple and they are fully booked since it is a fireworks night later, it is a romantic evening for couples. I got a room good for 5 people with a double bed and a bunk bed with extra bed.

Raphael: Haha! Good.

Michael: *hmmppfff, I will be with her on the double bed.*

Raphael: *I will be watching you.*

Angeline: *You guys, look at Gabriel and Marius, they are obviously confused why you guys are looking at each other with such expressions making it obvious you guys are not getting along right now! Please stop this and get along.*

Michael and Raphael: *Sorry, we just got carried away.*

Angeline: *Say sorry to each other.*

Raphael and Michael apologised to each other as Angeline asked them and they felt guilty for angering her with their argument. After some time, they finally got to Alton Towers and started checking in bringing their stuffs to put inside their room and went to eat brunch before going to take the rides and attractions at Alton Towers.
