Date: 27 Jul 1995 21:43:54 -0400


Here is Chapter 1 of Amusement Park.  It comes after "A Day Out."  Hi
Folks.  Here's another in my "Generations" series. (See list at end
for titles) This one is set after A Day Out while Fox and Dana are
still engaged.  Windsinger provided me with the idea after a trip to
an amusement park.  It brought back memories of my own days of taking
the kids to Busch Gardens and my four year old running around in a Big
Bad Wolf Tshirt. She also did part of the writing describing "Escape
from Pompeii" as I have never seen it.  This story was lots of fun to
write.  Again I thank Chris Carter, 1013 and Fox for lending me their
characters.  No copyright infringement isintended.  I guess I'll call
it PG 13.  There's really nothing in it except a few references to
adult situations and Dana's chest.  Enjoy!  Hope it makes you laugh.
By the way, the name Daithe is pronounced Dahee and is a very Irish
boy's name.  June 13, 1995 (macspooky@erols.com)

   
[Note from Windsinger: Macspooky thanks for writing this. I never had
such an enjoyable time waiting in lines before because I was
envisioning Fox and Dana doing it. The Pompeii ride at Busch Gardens
really exists. It's new this May. I was shocked that the fire
marshalls would allow it. Fox would be terrified. The patron is given
absolutely no warning that they are going to be exposed to this sort
of thing. PREVIEW: In the next installment of this family saga
MacSpooky and I both write alternate Wedding stories. What fun!]

Note to Windsinger - You are welcome.  As soon as I heard the idea my
fingers started itching to type!


                             Amusement Park
                                    
                                      by
                                      
                                  Macspooky
 
     Fox and Dana sat at her dining room table going over case
files.  They frequently brought work home.  It gave them more time to
spend together outside of the office.  Of course, their discussions
and analysis were interrupted by frequent kisses, but in the end they
actually got more done in the relaxed atmosphere with no need to be on
their "best" behavior all the time, no need to follow "office rules"
of never touching or letting anyone know how they felt while the
secret of her engagement ring remained a mystery and source of gossip
and speculation.
     "That coffee smells good," said Fox. "I wish it would hurry up
and perk."
     "It will.  Uh oh....I'm out of milk," she said realizing suddenly
that the gourmet coffee she always indulged herself in was going to be
a waste without it.  "I better run to the deli."
     "Do you really need to?"
     "Can't stand it without milk, Spook," she smiled. "I get enough
of the chemical creamer in miserable mud at work.  I'll get you a bag
of sunflower seeds while I'm out.  Be back in a jiffy."
     She headed out the door and he missed her immediately.  He alway
feared she would get mugged, or that something would happen to her.
It was silly, but he'd lost her once and the fear was always somewhere
at the back of his mind.  The phone rang relieving him of the need to
think about it.
     "Scully residence," he said. "Oh, hi, Bill. "No you didn't
interrupt anything important," he chuckled. "Dana's at the
store.....Yeah....we're both off Friday...together even....Busch
Gardens...sounds great....5 AM...not so great but we'll be there.
Right...I'll bring my appetite and the little kid in me...thanks
Bill." He hung up the phone absolutely delighted just as Dana came in.
     "Guess what!" he said ready to burst with excitment.
     "Uh...what?" she inquired heading for the kitchen wondering why
he looked so happy all of a sudden.
     "Bill called.  We are all going to Busch Gardens on Friday," he
grinned.
     "No, no...way...I've been ducking the Scully Clan annual
amusement park trip for 10 years now.  I hate those places."
     His face fell.  "But you've got to come with me Dana," he said.
"You've just got to."
     "No I don't.  We don't have to go." She began to pour the coffee.
When she turned back to face him he had that sulky little boy look
that told her she was really going to be punished for this.
     "Come on Dana," he pleaded. "I really want to go."
     "I thought we were going to spend the day together goofing off."
She had had an idea that maybe they would spend it breaking the vow of
celebacy he had made to her dad until after they were married and
easing some of the doubts and fears she knew he was starting to
experience.
     "We can spend the day together at Busch Gardens," he told her.
     "Nothing doing..."
     "You know someone always has to ruin it for me," he snapped.  He
turned away from her.  "Well, I'm going without you then.  No one is
going to stop me this time.  Not even you."
     "Fox, who's stopped you in the past?" she asked thinking this
whole discussion rather silly.  It was just a trip to a stupid
amusement park.
     "My dad...okay...if you have to know," he said sarcastically.
She recognized it.  It was the tone that told her she was stepping on
his toes, yanking his chain.  He had used it on her in the past, in
Oregon when he'd given the last of the gas to keep the lights burning
against those awful green bugs to their prime murder suspect.  She had
heard it again when they had argued about the CIA agent and he had
told her she was welcome to get off thecase if she wanted before he
had run off to Alaska.  She hated that tone.  She knew when he used it
that there was no way to win.
     "We were supposed to go to a place like that once but I did
something to annoy him.  They took my sister and left me home alone.
She looked so happy when they got back and I never even figured out
what I'd done wrong.  He didn't hit me that time.  He just left me
there alone," Fox told her.  "All alone..." He stopped. "Hell, I don't
owe you any explanation.  I just want to go."
     It was the first time he'd ever admitted what she had long
suspected, that his father had hit him. Almost more cruel than that,
however, seemed to be the way his parents had abandoned him to his
disappointment.
     "Hey, Spook, don't think you are going to leave me behind." Her
heart had melted.  She slipped her arms around his waist and rested
her head against his back. "I might be tempted to beat you with a wet
noodle sometimes, but I sure don't want to disappoint you....ever....I
love you, Fox.  I love you more than anything."
     He turned around and faced her with a big grin on his face, a
blissful childlike expression that said, I WON!  "It'll be fun,
sweetie.  We'll be together and I'll be on my best behaviour.  I
promise." He really meant it.  He loved it when she gave in, but he
also simply loved her.  He touched her cheek.  Sometimes he still
couldn't believe that it had happened, that he had met this beautiful
woman, and that she loved him so much and accepted him with all his
faults.
     "Right." She smiled at him, looking into those beautiful hazel
eyes.  "And if my mother had wheels she'd be a trolley.  Come on.
Coffee's getting cold.  Back to work."

Here is Chapter 2.  Hate to divide them this way!  Macspooky This is
Chapter 2 of "Amusement Park" by Macspooky.  All above disclaimers
still apply.


     It was a very long drive.  He had stayed over the night before so
that they could meet Bill and the others on time and go down in
formation in order to arrive at the gate simultaneously.  He had slept
on the couch.  She had wanted him in the bed.  She had even bought
condoms.  He had told her they had to get up too early in the morning
and to stop trying to melt his resolve.  He had gotten rid of them, in
order, he had informed her, not to tempt himself at 2 am. They WERE
going to do it the way Dana's dad would have wanted and get married
first.  Fox had made a promise and he told her he was determined to
keep it no matter how difficult. Then he had kissed her and settled
down on her couch.  If a part of her hadn't loved him so dearly for
the way he felt about her family, she would have probably strangled
him.  She really wanted him in bed.
     Anyway, they all arrived at the park as part of the caravan and
began unloading backpacks, kids, strollers, and diaper bags.  They
probably had more equipment than existed in an entire small third
world country.  Michael had his backpack and Eileen her Lion King bag.
Maureen wasn't with them because her pregnancy was difficult and Bill
had decided to give her a rest that day.  Sinead was there with her
bouncing, colicy baby boy Sean.  She'd just had her six week check up
and was ready to rock and roll already.  Knowing Sinead, they had
probably done quite a bit of that the night before, but she wasn't too
tired for rides, baby or no baby, not Sinead.  Tim, her husband, had
brought his niece Jane for Eileen, Jane's younger sister Kate, and
nephew Daithe who was Michael's age, all of whom had backpacks.  Chris
and Jenni were there with Dani the Spitzer who was nearly six months
old now and developing a personality that did not seem to require a
great deal of sleep.  She was teething Jenni explained and had
diarrhea but should be okay.  Dana had her backpack which held her
things and Fox had his own.  Melissa and Chuck were along, Chuck
looking ready to ride everything in sight and Dana knew Lis was a nut
for roller coasters. Margaret and Walter were the last to pull up.
     "Well," thought Dana looking at the vast pile of backpacks,
strollers, diaper bags and towels, "at least there is experienced help
with the babies."
     "Listen, kids," said Margaret not even bothering to get out of
the car, "Walt and I decided at the last minute that we are going to
leave all this fun to you young folks and go spend the day at
Williamsburg instead.  Just wanted to let you know.  Bye Bye." With a
wave, they pulled away while everyone let out a collective moan. How
could the adults have any fun at an amusement park without Grandma to
watch the babies? Life just wasn't fair.  What were Grandma's for
anyway?
     "Hey, she's in love," muttered Dana. "Give the woman a break."
She was already starting to have a bad feeling about this day.  All
her siblings knew she hated rides and Sean was starting to look cranky
in his stroller already.
     "I'm new at this," announced Fox as they entered the gate.  He
slipped an arm around Michael and Daithe's shoulders in male bonding
fashion.  "You guys are going to have to show me what to do, okay?"
Dana brought up the rear with both backpacks, one on each shoulder.
     Eyes lit up. There is nothing like the light in the eyes of 12
year old boys who know they have in their hands a kindred soul with a
credit card.  They would know just what to do and could instruct him
accordingly. "We'll show you all the good stuff to do, Uncle Wolf,"
said Michael with a grin.
     "Never been to an amusement park?" asked Bill.
     "Nope...never...."
     "Okay," he said thinking idly that Fox Mulder didn't know what he
was in for. He adored rides himself, but within certain limits. He was
Fox's age and prided himself on now being the head of the family.  He
also felt a little mercenary.  If Fox wanted to deal with the 12 year
olds, that was okay. If he could get "Uncle Wolf" to entertain them,
he wouldn't have to.
     "Hey," said Fox. "That looks really neat."  It was a large
building with a sign on it saying it was "Escape from Pompeii." Fox's
eyes had lit on Dana's chest which was clad only in a white t- shirt
and what appeared to be not much of a bra.  He had also seen the ride
spitting people down a shute into water and getting them soaked.
White t-shirt, minimal bra, nice chest. If he positioned her just
right in the car.... He decided he really wanted to see Dana
wet. Water did wonderful things for T-shirts, especially white ones.
     "Fox, it's not that hot yet today.  We'll get soaked. It'll be
cold," she said.
     "I'll keep you warm, babe," he replied.
      It occured to Dana that he might enjoy seeing her wet if the way
he'd been looking at her chest was any indication.  It might be worth
getting cold for.  Who knows?  If they lived through the day, he might
even forget about her father and.....well, it was worth a try.  If it
led to her getting what she wanted.....
     "Okay," she said reluctantly, "But I really hate rides, so this
is the only one."  Everyone else wanted to go, too, so Bill was
designated baby sitter of the moment while they got on line and piled
in the car.  They sat four across, the kids bouncing and squirming.
Eileen and Michael immediately started fighting about who would sit
next to Uncle Wolf so Eileen ended up between him and Dana with
Michael on the other side.  The bar came down across them while Dana
thought about how it was a good thing she loved her niece. She
wouldn't tolerate any other woman worming her way between her and Fox
like that. What was it about Mulder and women anyway? Even the little
girls adored him! The ride started.  Up, up the car climbed.  Everyone
could hear the roller coaster type clicks as the car was pulled up the
ramp.  As it dipped and became level, the car was swallowed up by the
building and it was dark.  Having prepared himself for haunted house
type stuff, Fox was smiling.  What he got was FIRE!  He could feel the
heat and smell the gas....Fox felt himself break out in a sweat.  His
heart pounded.  He wanted to run, to escape, but he was trapped. The
flames blazed up to his right, and then to his left, hot and too
close.  Then suddenly Eileen managed to slip out from under the bar.
She was a tiny child and she screamed in terror struggling to stand
up. Something snapped inside of him.  He wasn't going to let anything
happen to another little dark haired girl.  He grabbed her and pulled
her down, cradling her head, hiding it from the fire.
     "It's okay Eileen....it's okay," he said sheltering her although
he didn't feel okay. There was fire over their heads.  He felt Dana's
arm on him steadying him and suddenly it was dark, markedly cooler and
quiet without the noise of flames and the gas jets.  They were out of
the infernal room and a cloud of mist surrounded them.  There was
light ahead, open air.  The car was spit out of the tunnel and plunged
down into cold, cold water.
     Unsteadily Fox handed the crying child to her father. "She got
really scared," he stammered.
     "Eileen is a baby...Eileen is a baby," chanted Michael. Daithe
soon joined in. Not wanting anyone to see how badly shaken he was, Fox
walked away with Dana following behind.
     "You okay, Spook?" she asked dripping wet, for she had taken the
worst soaking of all.

     He nodded. He didn't have a very good taste in his mouth about
his first amusement park ride at that moment. "They should warn you
about that. Some people are scared of fire, you know."  Then he
noticed her chest.  It was a very nice chest indeed. Dana didn't have
large breasts, the kind he usually favored.  She was no Justine in
that regard, but what she had was sure perfect in his eyes! She had
told him once when he'd been fondling her and had teased her about
there being not much to grab, that beautiful things come in small
packages. He had laughed. Then he had had to swat her hand away when
she'd tried to investigate just what parts of his anatomy she could
grab.
     "Mmm," he said, the fire, or at least that kind of fire
forgotten, "you look nice in a wet t- shirt." He slipped his arms
around her.  "Your nipples are nice and hard, Shorts," he whispered.
     "My nipples aren't the only thing that's nice and hard," she
whispered back wishing they were in a more private place, a very
private place.  He bent down to kiss her.
     "Hey, Uncle Wolf, that's enough mushy stuff," called Michael.
"There's too many good rides to go on yet to bother with that stupid
kissing stuff."
     "Guess you're right, Mike," he smirked breaking away from Dana
determined from here on in everyone would have fun no matter what. Her
chest was quickly forgotten by the 10 year old Fox who still thought
girls were stupid.
     Eileen rushed up to him with her arms out to be picked up.  He
scooped her up.  "You're my hero, Uncle Wolf. You saved me from the
fire," she announced kissing his cheek.  She felt good in his arms.
Fox thought it might be nice to have a little girl one day. "Daddy
says if I'm good you'll take me on the merry go round later."
     "Oh daddy did did he?" asked Fox with a smile.  He hugged
her. "Well, I will.  That's a promise."  He set her down and she
trotted off with her cousin discussing the latest Barbie doll, trauma
forgotten.
     "See, Scully," he said, "I'm a hero.  It doesn't get any better
than that."  He took off with the kids, large and small, and Dana
found herself struggling to push two strollers along behind them. So
much for him keeping her warm and spending the day together. She
wouldn't think about the "best behavior" promise.

     Dana was astonished at the amount of junk food they could manage
to eat, especially Fox.  She knew he had an amazing capacity for food
when he remembered to eat at all, but she'd never seen him quite this
bad, even at his worst. They all went from ride to ride shrieking with
laughter and stuffing their faces with everything in sight, while she
brought up the rear with the babies trying very hard to be a good
sport.  Then they reached the Big Bad Wolf.  It had grown overcast and
there wasn't much of a line.  The kids were delighted.  They wanted to
go right on.  Everyone dropped their backpack at Dana's feet.
     "Go on it with me, please," said Fox.
     "No way.  It looks like it goes upside down.  I don't like upside
down."
     "Oh come on Shorts, you're being a real party pooper.  You give
me dirty looks everytime I buy something to eat and won't go on
rides.... how do you expect to have fun?"
     Dana glanced down at the pile of backpacks that had been left at
HER feet.  Dani was in the stroller hungry but her gums hurt and she
fussed and wouldn't hold her bottle so Dana had one hand occupied with
that.  Sean was on her shoulder screaming with colic or something,
screaming anyway.  Jenni and Sinead were calling him to hurry up.  If
looks could kill, he knew he'd be dead so he decided he'd better run
and get on line before he never lived to get married to the woman who
was looking at him.
     "Uh, Dana's having a hard time with the babies," he said. He
thought they were being a little unfair in abandoning her.  Also, it
wasn't like Jen to do that.
     "Oh, that's okay," said Melissa her arms through Chuck's. " I
told Jen it would be okay.  Dana hates rides.  She doesn't mind
watching the little ones.  She loves babies."
     "If you say so," said Fox, thinking idly that Melissa had told
Margaret that it was okay to pull the plug on her sister, too. He
didn't think Dana had looked too enamoured with babies when he'd left
her. He didn't want her to develop a distaste for infants.  He was
hoping to make one with her one day.
     Four trips through the Big Bad Wolf later, they returned to find
Dana on a park bench hair falling in her face looking a total wreck.
Fox decided she'd looked better in a coma with wires sticking out of
everywhere.  At least her hair had been combed then.  She had the
backpacks lined up.  Sean was back in the stroller on his stomach
still wailing....She was rocking the carriage with one foot in the
hopes of getting him to sleep.  It wasn't working.  Dani was on the
park bench.  One end was wearing her bottle.  The other end was being
cleaned up, only it was the world's messiest diaper, looked rather
green to Fox, and Dana had run out of baby wipes.  She was looking
helpless which was decidedly unusual for Dr. Dana Scully.  They all
burst out laughing.  Fox laughed the loudest which earned him another
very special look.  Someone snapped a picture.
     "Oh, God, no," she moaned.
      "Hey folks, Big Bad Wolf T-shirts for everyone," he announced
deciding it was time to change the subject and holding out a bag.  He
thought it best not to comment on her predicament.  He was wearing one
that said, "I survived the Big Bad Wolf" as well as a golf hat and a
stupid pair of sunglasses. He even had t-shirts for the babies..
     "Oh, boy," said the kids. "Thanks ,Uncle Wolf."
     Dana wondered just how much debt she would end up paying off when
she married him, as no one handed her anything to finish cleaning up
the baby with.  This trip was costing a down payment on a house and
she was developing an aversion to diapers.  She clenched her teeth and
grinned, still determined to be a good sport, as Jennie finally took
over the changing process and Sinead picked up Sean who immediately
stopped crying.
     "Where's mine?" asked Dana trying to wipe her hands, as no
T-shirt was forthcoming in her size.
     "You don't get one cause you wouldn't go on the ride," he
informed her smugly. "Only people who go on the ride get a t-shirt."
     "You're going to get it, Mulder," she warned.  She felt a little
hurt but wasn't about to show it. The babies hadn't gone on the
ride. She merely smiled vowing to grin and bear it if it killed her.
     "I know," he grinned and waggled his eyebrows. Diaper changing
was finished and they were off to the next ride, Fox trotting away
with Michael and Daithe before Dana even had a chance to take his
hand.  Naturally they stopped for corn dogs on the way.  Fox
paid...again.

     Dana eyed the Dragon Fire.  Michael announced that it went upside
down five times, five whole times.  Daithe informed them that it was
the world's best roller coaster.  Dana looked at the roller coaster.
She looked at Fox who had this stupid expectant grin on his face as he
looked at her.  She looked at the backpacks and the strollers.  Dani
spit up and Sean was already getting restless in the carriage.  She
looked at the roller coaster again.  She saw that her relatives were
about to ask her to watch the babies while they went on.  She silently
cursed her mother for having a love life while at the same time hoping
Margaret was having a better time than her.  Maybe mom and Walter had
found some nice private spot and were.....  Sean let out his first
peep.
     "Oh no," she said, " Not again folks. You'll have to get someone
else to babysit.  I'm going on this roller coaster with Fox if it's
the last thing I do.  I'm going to have fun like all the rest of you."
She took his hand, "And, Michael, I am going to sit next to him, too,"
she glared.
     "Uh, yes, Aunt Dana," he said quickly.  When Aunt Dana meant
business, she meant business.
     She got into the car.  "I don't get it, Mulder," she hissed.  "I
was on that ship with you in Norway, and you threw up the whole damn
time."
     "I'm fine," he said. "This is great. I don't know what your
problem is Dana. You should enjoy this.  You don't get seasick."
     "This isn't the ocean." she replied. The ride started. She was
already hanging on for dear life.
     When she came out, she had to lean on him.  It had terrified her.
She'd hated it.  If it had been any longer she thought she might have
died. It was worse than turbulance in airplanes.
     "Where's Donny Pfaster when you need him?" she finally muttered
pulling herself together, although she had rather liked leaning on
him.
     " That bad, huh, Shorts?, he inquired thinking that she must have
really hated it if she found Donny Pfaster's company preferable.  What
you need is another water ride Scully," he grinned and they all headed
for the Roman Rapids.  Jennie apologized for imposing on her to watch
Dani, and Dana softened and said it was okay.  She really didn't mind
most of the time, but she would have to go on the Roman Rapids with
Fox. His feelings would be hurt if she didn't.
     "Don't you be apologizin', Jen," said Sinead in her own
indomitable fashion, which sounded a great deal like Gran's. "It's
good practice for when he knocks her up and she has twins.  And it's
not his feelin's she's worried about.  She just wants him to see her
chest in a wet t-shirt in the hopes he'll take her home and give her
that good hard shagging later."
     "Oh God, not you too, Sinead," Dana pleaded knowing damn well it
was true.
     "What's a good hard shagging?" asked Eileen who had come up
behind them.
     "That's when a guy takes his.....,"started Michael, but Bill
clapped his hands over Michael's mouth and threatened him with death.
"We'll talk about it with your mother when we get home sweetie," he
told her gently.  He gave Sinead a dirty look for all the good it did
him. You could give Sinead dirty looks from here to County Kildare and
it wouldn't stop her mouth.  She was just like Gran McBride.

     Dana did indeed go on the Roman Rapids with Fox and decided it
was a lot of fun, not at all like a roller coaster.  He enjoyed seeing
her laughing aloud, having some real fun for the first time that day.
Even more than that, though, he enjoyed the fact that once again, her
white t-shirt got very very wet.  The view of her chest was magificent
and it was awhile before he took his eyes off of her.  Watching her,
he had the feeling that his admiration gave her pleasure too and that
perhaps it helped "save" her day just a little, a day he knew she was
not really enjoying very much.  For a brief instant, before more
frenetic activiites resumed, he found himself once again awash in a
wave of tenderness for the tiny redhead who had brought him a real
family and had so changed his life with her quiet good humor and love.
     

     Finally it looked as if the day were going to end without Fox and
the other two twelve-year- olds being thrown out of the park for
disorderly conduct and Dana was beginning to feel hopeful. Even better
was the fact that the babies had finally gone to sleep sprawled in
their strollers and she was only carrying two backpacks.  Bill
announced as the senior clan member, that there would be one more ride
before they left.  The kids immediately began to fight about which one
it would be, but Eileen looked pitiful.  She had been asking about the
merry-go-round all day. She had been good and everyone kept ignoring
her, even her friend Jane.  She tugged on Fox's hand and looked up at
him.  "You and daddy promised if I'd be good you would take me on the
merry go round Uncle Wolf.  I've been good haven't I?"
     "Eileen is a baby...Eileen is a baby...."
     "Shut up Michael...." roared Bill. "Don't even open your mouth
Daithe...." said Tim.
     "Of course, you've been good," said Fox. "You've been an angel."
He smiled down at her wondering how anyone could resist those Irish
blue eyes.  She looked so much like Margaret.  Margaret had had that
same miserable look when she'd come to him after Dana had been
abducted.  It was a bit of a walk and he was tired, but that was okay.
"I'd never break a promise to you, sweetheart. Let's go."
     Dana sighed and followed along.  She supposed that's why she
loved him so much.  He could drive you crazy, push you to the limit,
be insensitive and hurt your feelings, go off half cocked leaving you
to rescue him from himself and nearly getting yourself killed for your
efforts, but in the end there was a kindness and gentleness about him,
a fundamental decency that was very hard to find.  He was the kind of
man who wouldn't ever willingly break a promise to a little child no
matter what.  Not for the first time, she wondered how such a sweet
man could have survived such cold parents.

     They got to the merry -go-round and he took Eileen twice.  The
boys went as well, suddenly reverting to eight-year-olds again after
all their chanting. Bill made noises about strangling them both. Chris
woke Dani up over Jen's fervent protest and held her on a little
horse.  Dana snapped a picture just as she was spitting up all over
him.  They got organized to leave.  Dana looked around and Fox was
gone, disappeared.  She grew alarmed but didn't show it.
     "Listen," she said, "you all go on and I'll talk to you during
the week."
     "Okay," they agreed. "It was great fun.  We'll do it again next
year."
     "Over my dead body," she muttered.  They departed and Dana began
to search.
     Sure enough, she found him in the bushes, the most private bushes
he could find, tossing his cookies, along with hot dogs, corn dogs,
french fries, onion rings, hamburgers, popcorn, snow cones and every
other sort of junk food on the face of the earth. He was a lovely
sight, better even than the way he had looked in Alaska. He smelled
great too. Dana thanked the powers that be that she was a pathologist
with a strong stomach. She sighed and reached down and held his
shoulders wondering at her good fortune in having fallen in love with
this man.  She supposed she ought to be furious at him.
     "Merry-go-round did you in, huh, Spook?" she asked softly.
     "I never could stand things that just went around in a circle,"
he replied sitting back finally.
     She thought he might have the decency to look at least a little
repentent.  He didn't.  He He sat there and looked at her with a smile
on his face, a face that needed to be wiped. It was his very best
little boy grin.  "Hey, Shorts, I had a great time with my family and
besides I'm a hero.  What more could a guy ask out of life?"
     "Nothing I guess," she said taking his handkerchief and wiping
his chin.  "What a mess!  You are worse than Dani and old enough to
know better."  He turned away and threw up whatever remnants were left
in his stomach.  When he finished she was gone.  He figured she had
probably had enough and was so disgusted he'd have to walk home from
Virginia or something.  He got to his feet, shakily, only to see her
coming with something in her hand.
     "Sit down," she ordered taking him to a bench.  She handed him a
tablet and an ice cold coke to sip it with.  "This is compazine.
It'll settle you stomach.  You'll pass out and I'll drive home. I'm
tempted to tell you you'll never bring my kids to a place like this."
     "But you won't cause you know I won't listen," he said
hopefully. He tried to grin but failed. "Are you really mad at me,
Shorts?" He swallowed the pill.
     "Nah, you're a hero.  What more could a girl want besides a good
hard shagging?" she replied kissing his cheek gently. Hand in hand
they walked toward the car and went home.
