1. Amusement Park

*poof*

Children love bubbles, I bet he begged his mother for about an eternity for that bubble-blowing toy. If only he knew how tiring it is to make a dollar or two these days, but parents will always be parents. Even if they get exhausted making money they will always give something to their children it doesn't matter how much it is. They will always do everything and anything for the sake of those little brats.

"Hello!" a stranger, greets me with a smile.

"Oh, hello what do you want ma'am?" my sudden and nervous reply.

"Well, to be honest, I'd like to sit beside you, sir."

"Be my guest," a humble yet nervous reply of me again.

Sitting in a bench under the shade of a tree with a beautiful woman is a weird blessing from the heavens above. It's weird because it's so sudden, however, it's a blessing because my oh my, isn't she beautiful. Even if I only saw her face for a short period of time I can still remember the glow in her eyes, the big fluffy cheeks that she has, and a nose of a cute little baby. My heart right now is pumping happy hormones around my body because a chance like this is very rare for a 40-year-old man like me.

"How are you doing?" I asked.

"Well, things are going fine right now, how bout you?" she replied in a happy tone.

"Well, things are going well, however, I haven't seen the person I am meeting today," a pretty weird reply of me.

"Is that so? What is the meeting about then? if you don't mind me asking," a pretty aggressive move for a female.

"Well this is kinda lame but it's our anniversary and we decided to meet here."

"Oh, so that's what the flowers for?"

"Yes," I answered.

"Well, to meet a woman's heart is through her stomach also, did you know that sir?"

"Well, what should I get then?"

She explained the details. "Try buying a gallon of vanilla ice cream, then give it to her with the flowers that you bought. The second you gave it to her you'll see her bursting with happiness. I know that some woman likes chocolates or other stuff but I assure you she will like it"

"Well thank you so much I think she would like that," my response. "I should be going then, I'll buy all of the stuff you've told me. Thank you!"

"Goodluck, sir!" her cheerful response to me.

Well, life is full of surprises and things like this are really rare, at least I know what to buy for my love. I think she's already here. First things first, I should get the ice cream that the lady told me to, traveling is pretty exhausting for our age so ice cream is a good idea. Good thing she doesn't have diabetes because choosing food for both of us is pretty hard if that happens.

"Good morning sir!" a sales lady's greeted.

"Well good morning also, do you sell ice cream?"

"Well of course sir! it's a hit for the children."

Carrying plastic cups, a gallon of vanilla ice cream, and a bouquet of flowers look pretty weird for an old man in an amusement park, alone. But the saying says that never judge a book by its cover because this old man has someone to meet. Someone who is gorgeous and loving, to be honest, I could talk all day describing how much I love my wife, but every couple has its flaws. We don't have those little brats running around the house but I think there's no such thing as perfect for a couple, as long as they trust and love each other they will be able to live a happy life forever.

Walking all day is kinda tiring and not seeing my beautiful wife is a bummer. I think she's stuck in traffic, gotta wait longer than expected. Good thing I have the headset that she bought me last week, some songs can make the mood calm and peaceful.

*I will be here by Steven Curtis Chapman playing*

*sniff*

Well, that made me cry, never knew a song could be that powerful.

As time goes by a lady comes forward.

"Well, sir, why are you still here? Haven't you seen your date already?"

"Well I guess she's stuck in traffic though, no worries I'll wait for her because I know she'll be here."

"Well if you don't mind sir I'd like to sit beside you again," a cheerful reply of her.

"No problem, just make sure to explain this to my wife ok."

"No worries, she ain't gonna overthink this," a reassuring reply of her.

Well, this is weird, I've been encountering the same woman for 3 hours now. I guess she's a thief or something. I've got to protect my wife's ice cream.

An hour has past and she's still not here this makes me feel uneasy. I can't call her or something because she can't use a cellphone maybe I can ask some of her friends if they saw her or something. *look at the phone*. Well, they say she's already on the way so nothing to worry about it then and my gall bladder is about to pop up right now so, to the comfort room I go.

"Hi, ma'am can I excuse my self for now? My gall bladder is about to pop up though and I need to use the comfort room."

"Oh use the comfort room well sir, hope you release all of your resentment over there."

"Hehe... Thank you for the advice."

The rides and mascots are cool, to be honest, they put an effort into thinking how to lure children in this place. Colorful cartoons, products, pictures, and a ride that will probably make them shit their pants are the things children want, it's ironic cause even the parents piss on their pants when they reach their "sharting" point.

This is one hell of a line. I've never seen this kind of line before, I thought this thing only happens in the girl's restroom. Thing's really changed when you're in an amusement park, people doing the most unexpected things.

*toilet flush*

"Time to get back to that lady."

Well, the line is still full, I hope my wife is already here cause the ice cream is melting quickly and I can't eat that beside that woman. Would you look at that she's here.

"Well, why are you, late miss?" My very boastful reply.

"Well to be honest I've been here like an hour, and hey mister who are you sitting with earlier hmm?" Her very serious reply.

"Well you know, I have a gallon of ice cream over here and it's vanilla, wants some?"

"Well I'd love too, but you'll still going to explain to me who's that girl ok?"

"I will my love, I will," my nervous reply. I knew it I shouldn't let that girl sit beside me.

It's been a joyful day for me and my wife, good thing she didn't ask me about the girl on the parks bench. I think I should buy my wife some snacks for our midnight date.

"Hey, honey what do you like vanilla ice cream or peanut butter?"

"Well we ate some vanilla today I think we should do some peanut butter later, especially that's my favorite snack to chum at night."

"Your wish is my command, just stay here and I'll buy it for you ok," my reply.

Walking all day is pretty hard especially for my knees, they're pretty for this time of age, to be honest, I have a very weak body and I am suffering some kind of headache when I put too much effort. Well, here is the shop where I spend almost 50% of my annual income.

Well as expected I've spent too much than what I am planning to, why isn't she here? I guess she pees or something. My wife always does hide and seek when I go somewhere, guess she's a child inside an old woman's body.

Oh no she's the girl from the bench, "Ahm...Hi, I'm the man who you've seated beside earlier, have you seen a lady around 5'4 to 5'6?"

"Oh hi mister, well I guess the one you're looking for walked away earlier. She also said that she'll be in an urgent meeting or something so you must stay with me she says, she must be your wife?"

"Oh thank you for that information and yes, she is my wife," why will she leave me alone with this woman?

"I guess we should be going then, mister? Let's go to the bus station I think we're heading the same way."

"Oh ok."

Walking with someone you just knew in an amusement park is unusual especially when your wife leaves you for some reason. I really hope it's an emergency meeting because if not I'll make her recompense with everything she did. Waiting all day and leaving me alone is pretty harsh. We've reached the bus station and my mother nature is calling me once again.

"Hey Ms, excuse me for a second I need to go to the comfort room."

"No worries, I'll wait here."

Having a gladder and bowel problems is pretty exhausting and add my thin body, I don't know where does my stomach get the things it's putting out from a person who's malnourished. I'm here mother nature, let's do it. Some of the bus stations comfort rooms are disgusting, some people really don't have etiquette when they're outside and using public things. Got to get back with the lady, bet she's waiting like forever. She's gone? Well, I think she can't wait for me forever, hey... Isn't that my wife?

"Hey, honey I thought you're having an emergency meeting?"

"Well the meeting got postponed, we should go home now, it's getting late already." A serious reply.

"Ok honey."

"By the way where's the lady you've been in here?"

"Well to be honest I don't know, I took a short pee-pee then the moment I returned she's gone."

"Oh I see, a busy woman I guess?"

"Yeah, it only reminds me how she looks, she looks like you, honey. I bet her husband or boyfriend will be lucky to have a beautiful and caring wife."

"Yeah." *sobs*

"Why are you crying, honey?"

"Nothing, it's just you forgot too many things lately."

"Really? Well thinking about it all I can remember is that I am at the amusement park."

"Don't worry honey, I won't leave you, ok?"

"Thank you, honey, let's eat some ice cream at home."

"Ok, just don't forget how I and the lady look like ok, promise me that."

"I won't forget how both of you look like honey, never." She's an emotional wife but I'll never forget her that's for sure.
