Chapter 124 - Extreme Drop

"Guys! Prepare your things, we're going to an amusement park!" Venedette announced as soon as she entered the spaceship but the others were still asleep and both Von and Gem were busy playing the VR game again.

"Hey, we're going somewhere," Venedette whispered to the two who asked her to let them finish this round before going, which she agreed on.

"Fily?" Venedette said after peeking inside Fily's room, "Are you sleeping?"

"Nope. Are we going somewhere?" Fily said and the lights suddenly turned on, "Oh, I was modifying some things," the tech-genius added.

"We're going to an amusement park." 

"For real?!" Fily's excitement flew off to the roof.

"Mmm, where are the others?" Venedette asked right after nodding which made Fily think for a minute.

"Lei is planting stuff on the surface while Petunia is sleeping in her room."

"Okay, I'll go get Lei you wake Petunia up for me okay? And please stop those two from playing games, I think they might get too addicted and forget the purpose of our trip."

"Okay, on it!" Fily said energetically, and as soon as she walked out of the door, every appliance inside seemed to turn off automatically.

"Hmm," Venedette said in slight fascination before flying to the roof through the same glass trap door beside Gem's room.

Fily, on the other hand, was assigned to wake Petunia up and sabotage the game that Gem and Von were playing so they wouldn't become addicts, but everything was easier said than done.

Petunia didn't want to wake up due to her obsession with the flight potion but Fily somehow convinced her to tag along while offering her precious help with the project while Gem and Von seemed too passionate about the game for Fily to cut off their fun all of a sudden.

But when Venedette came back with Lei, Fily went into a panic and accidentally shut off all the electricity in the entertainment area, resetting Gem and Von's scores to their latest checkpoint.

"Eh? What happened?" Gem complained and quickly sealed her mouth after seeing Fily's apologetic expression in front of her while pointing to the trapdoor.

"Thank goodness we weren't that far from the checkpoint yet!" Von shared the same enthusiasm as Gem but the moment he saw Lei being carried by Venedette, he immediately went into jealous mode and suddenly wanted a ride from Venedette too.

"We're going to the amusement park, I already arranged all the documentation we need and since we're special, they decided to let us rent the whole place for ourselves!"

"Really?!" Fily was the only one surprised.

"No one goes to amusement parks anymore, Fily." Petunia said despite being the supposedly outdated one in the group.

"But why? Amusement parks are fun!"

"I think I've been to an Amusement park before." Gem said and started sharing her experiences in an abandoned Amusement park near the wasteland she used to stay in.

"I climbed the highest cart in a Ferris wheel and got three eggs the size of my fist each from a huge nest which I was able to sell for a hefty amount every month. I didn't bother looking at what kind of bird or animal it was, I'm just glad I didn't fall nor get caught by it."

"How high was it?" Lei sincerely asked while preparing to jump from Levi-yacht to the ground.

"That high?" Gem said while pointing at the peak of a roller coaster.

"I can just easily fly there," Von said, which really didn't help nor contribute to the conversation.

"I'm going first, make sure to jump thirty seconds away from each other, alright?" Venedette said.

"I'll jump next so I can also catch you guys with my super puff." Fily offered.

"Okay, that's a good plan."

"I'll go with you," Von said while sitting between Gem and Lei.

"Okay, here I go," Fily said and jumped without hesitation.

"Whoo! That looks fun and scary at the same time!" Gem shouted to Fily who was also shouting out of joy while trying hard to keep her clothes together against the piercing wind.

"Adios," Petunia said and fell with the Gummy cloud under her.

"Shall we go next?" Gem said and looked at Lei while making little jumps of excitement.

"Twenty-nine, thirty! Let's go!" Lei said and held Gem's hands while Von pushed them on the edge together.

"Leviathan out!" Von shouted which locked the yacht's entrance using voice recognition before flying to catch up to Lei and Gem immediately.

"Whoooo!!!" Gem screamed as if she was riding a ride at the amusement park which encouraged the others to do the same with her.

"I can feel my soul detaching from my body! It's a very different yet the same feeling from when we first jumped on the cliff, Von!"

"Yeah, except this one is actually higher and you're holding hands with Lei!"

"Oh," Gem let out a nervous puff while letting go of Lei's hands.

But instead of letting go, Lei grabbed hold of her right hand and let go of the other, holding Von's hands that automatically connected to her.

"Whoooo!!" Gem shouted again just to break the thrilling sound effects they were getting from the wind while Von and Lei were just both watching her.

"Gotcha!" Venedette flew calmly behind Fily while positioning her for a soft landing.

"Meow!" Petunia growled after failing to control her speed and almost breaking her gummy cloud because of the air pressure.

"You okay, Pet?!" Fily spoke both in front of Petunia and using her stat-hut which made the transmission even clearer and faster like they were in a call.

"I guess?!" Petunia exclaimed while fearing for her life between her now a donut-shaped gummy cloud that broke when she lost balance and accidentally used the cloud as a parachute.

"Come on, don't fail me, Gummy." Petunia prayed and struggled to balance herself on the unstable cloud while Fily and Venedette had now succeeded with their first landing together.

"That felt like the most extreme roller-coaster I have ridden in my entire life!" Fily laughed as they prepared for making Lei and Gem's landing both safe.

"You ready?" Venedette asked and immediately shot herself to the three when Fily nodded while Von already positioned himself behind Gem, carrying her the same way he did when he first rescued her.

"I like your blonde hair better," Von said randomly which distracted Gem from looking at the nearing ground.
