"This has some strange flashbacks," Derby said with a sigh as he leaned on the van. "I am still feeling like a third wheel too."

Kurt rolled his eyes, "You and Rachel both arent seeing anyone, that would make you guys fifth and sixth wheels."

"Hardy har har," Derby said with a fake laugh.

"We are not wheels," Rachel said as she crossed her arms over her chest. She turned to Kurt, "Which means you need to take it back."

"Fine, I take it back," Kurt said with a sigh. He smiled as he saw Blaine approaching the car, "All set?"

"Indeed we are," Blaine said as he walked over and kissed Kurt on the cheek, "Lets see I have the tickets, directions in case the GPS dies, food is packed, and anything else?"

"Yes," Kyle said, "Like blood pressure medication because there is no way in hell I am riding on those damn roller coasters without it."

Maddie rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, "When we went to that amusement park when we were in high school, I remember you kicked someone because once they strapped you in, you claimed you were going to die since you knew the ride would fall off the tracks."

"Hey, that is a legitimate fear," Kyle said to his girlfriend.

"Just get in the car," Maddie said pointing to the open door. Kyle let out a grumble as he climbed into the van and Maddie followed him inside.

Blaine opened the drivers door and climbed inside of the van. He looked over and Kurt was already in the passenger seat with a smile on his face. "I take it you are excited?" he asked him as he started to put the information into the GPS.

"Yes, I havent been to an amusement parks in a few years," Kurt clapped his hands together, "And I know they have a few more roller coasters than they used too."

Rachel jumped inside the van and sat in the seat behind Blaine, "I suppose we are all ready to go now."

Blaine turned the van on and started the engine, "Is everyone buckled?"

"Yes!" everyone responded.

"Off we go," Blaine said as he put the car in drive and they started taking off down the road. "This brings back some memories," he leaned towards Kurt.

Kurt pushed Blaine away, "Just drive and dont kill us, please. I believe my father will not like if his son comes home in pieces."

Blaine let out a playful sigh, "Alright."

They had spent the night in Lima because it was a closer drive to Cedar Point. The group wanted to get there when the park opened and did not want to drive too long. Blaine volunteered to drive one of his and Rachels dad bigger cars.

The drive was going pretty easy until they made it to the area they knew the park was in, but couldnt find it. The GPS shouted another instruction and Blaine glared at it. "It told me to turn left already."

Kurt reached over and picked up the GPS, "Let me look at it while you drive."

"Why didnt you just follow the park signs?" Derby asked him.

Blaine groaned, "Could someone just pull up a map on their phone please."

Rachel was typing on her phone and waited for the directions and map to load, "Here," she handed it to him.

Taking the phone, Blaine realized he was going the opposite way, "Holy crap, I am so—" The phone interrupted him telling him to quickly turn right. "I am not driving home."

"Oh be quiet," Kurt said as he tried fixing the GPS, "And this is a lost cause."

Kyle reached from the back seat, "Give me Lindsey and I will fix her."

Rachel turned to him, "You named your GPS Lindsey?"

Maddie let out a sigh, "You and me both."

"There," Kurt pointed on the horizon, "I see the rides!"

"There we go!" Blaine yelled out as he turned down another street.

As they approached the gates, Kurt handed Blaine the paper where they had already paid for parking. After they passed through the gates, they followed the men and women directing traffic to park their car. Once they were parked, the group finally crawled out of the car.

"Cramped in there for longer than a couple of hours is no fun," Derby said.

"We are on the road for longer than that for days at a time," Maddie said to him.

"What time is it?" Kurt asked as he climbed out of the van.

Rachel took out her phone and checked, "Its just about nine," she said.

"Doesnt this place open at ten?" Kurt asked Blaine.

Blaine nodded but jumped up excitedly, "Well yeah, but we need to be first in line."

Kurt turned to Maddie, "Hes completely serious isnt he?"

"Yes, yes he is," Maddie said with a nod.

The group started walking up to the gates and got into one of the lines waiting for them to open the gates. Kurt leaned on Blaine and let out sigh, "Why do we have to be first in line?"

"Because we are going to need to sprint to get to the Gatekeeper," Blaine explained, "It opened last summer, but we didnt get to go because we were busy. I imagine it will be where everyone is going." He opened his map, "I think after we get off the Gatekeeper, we should head right towards the Raptor."

"Are you seriously planning our route?" Kurt asked him.

Rachel gave Kurt a look, "You honestly will be whipped at the end of the day. Blaine used to plan these out weeks in advance. You should have seen him when we were younger."

"Younger? He did it when we went a few years ago," Kyle said to them.

"I like to have a plan," Blaine said with a shrug.

Kurt looked over Blaines shoulder and had to admit it that Blaine planning this whole trip was kind of adorable. "So whats our plan after the Raptor?"

"Hmm," Blaine said looking at the map, "The Corkscrew is probably the next closest ride."

"Why all the roller coasters!" Kyle yelled out.

The group waited until the employees started to scan their tickets to let them walk inside. Blaine took Kurts hand and pulled him along as they walked quickly towards the newest coaster. And they ran into line with Blaine giving a happy sigh.

"Happy now?" Kurt asked him.

"Im feeling good," Blaine said excitedly.

Rachel laughed as she got into line behind her brother and friend, "I hope I have enough sunscreen on," she said.

Kurt gave a nod, "Me too."

"You two are going to be fine," Blaine said waving a hand.

"Says the boy who tans like a beautiful angel," Kurt said to his boyfriend.

"Beautiful angel huh?" Blaine teased.

The line started to move and they walked a few feet before stopping once again. Kurt leaned on the railing and wiped his forehead, "Its hot in the sun." He turned and looked at Kyle, "Are you okay?"

"Im fine," Kyle said staring up at the ride and watched as the people took off from the landing sending them high in the air with screams. He closed his eyes, "Why am I friends with you!"

Maddie patted Kyles shoulder, "Oh it wont be that bad. I mean we wont make you ride anything we dont think you can handle."

Kyle shook his head, "I literally cant ride this! Do you see it goes upside down! Upside down!"

"You will be strapped in," Blaine explained, "Besides we wont be making you ride the Millennium Force again. That was sort of not a fun experience."

"He peed his pants while waiting in line," Derby said with a grin.

"Can you not!" Kyle said waving his hands in the air.

Someone standing in back of them let out a laugh, "Sorry."

Blaine smiled, "Come on, were moving again."

When they finally got to the front of the line, Blaine insisted on sitting in the front of the ride. Kyle said he wouldnt do it, so they ended up picking some seats near the middle.

Blaine jumped up in the seat, which took him a few times and he turned to see Kurt trying to hide his laughs. "Stop, just because Im a bit shorter doesnt mean you can make fun of me."

Kurt looked over at Rachel who was getting some help from Derby, "Right, this ride wasnt made for those a bit shorter."

"Watch where you put your hands," Blaine called over to Derby.

"Stop it Blaine," Rachel said waving a hand, "He is just being a gentlemen."

Derby strapped down the chest belt and grinned over at Blaine, "See I am a gentleman."

Kyle was shaking and he closed his eyes, "Tell me when its over."

The voice came over the intercom, "Are you ready to kick the sky?"

There was a cheer from the crowd, except for Kyle who shouted no.

"Alright, ready for lift!"

When they were walking off the ride, Kyle ran off and kneeled down on the ground, "Thank you!"

Blaine laughed, "A bit overdramatic dont you think?"

Kurt reached out and took Blaines hand, "To the Raptor next?"

After riding the Raptor and Iron Dragon, the group decided to find something to eat. They sat down and Kurt leaned on Blaine, "Getting tired already?" Blaine asked him.

"No," Kurt shook his head.

Rachel ran over and sat down on the bench with her fries, "Okay so where are we off too next oh mighty leader?" she asked taking a bite of a fry.

Maddie and Kyle walked over sitting down across from Kurt and Blaine. "Those girls were not the friendliest," Maddie said making a face.

Derby followed and sat down too, "This is awesome!" He took a bite of his hotdog almost eating half of the food.

"Are you sure you want to keep that gentlemen comment you made earlier?" Maddie asked Rachel.

Rachel shook her head, "I think maybe I will."

The group finished their mid-day meal and started to walk towards the Millennium Force. Kyle took a step back, "I think this is where I let you guys go without me."

"Are you seriously not going to ride?" Blaine asked him.

"Nope," Kyle said, "I will probably grab frozen lemonade or hang out with Snoopy."

"Alright behave," Maddie said giving him a kiss, "Text me if you need anything."

Kyle walked off, while the rest of the group went to wait in line for the roller coaster. "This is going to be a long wait," Blaine said as he leaned on Derby.

"We should start a sing along," Rachel said excitedly.

Kurt patted her on the shoulder, "I dont think that would be a good idea."

"Oh come on," Rachel said with a smile, "I can totally see this crowd loving it!"

Blaine stood up straight, "Okay how about we talk about something that doesnt include my sister trying to get everyone to sing simultaneously."

The line moved a few steps and then they stopped again. Maddie let out a groan, "The things we do for a two minute long ride."

"Anyways," Kurt said and looked over at Blaine, "So now that you are a big bad college graduate, what are you going to do now?"

"Id say go to Disneyland, but..." Blaine said with a teasing voice, "Where I am right now is fine." He wrapped his arms around Kurts waist, "You did mention a graduation present and I havent gotten one yet."

Kurt let out a laugh, "Nope. Its a surprise."

"Excuse me," someone said in line, "Would you two mind."

Blaine looked at the guy, "Mind what?"

Kurt let out a sigh as he moved Blaines arms down, "Blaine, its okay."

"No, its not," Blaine said as he reached down to hold Kurts hand.

Rachel crossed her arms over her chest, "Some people are just stuck in their own small minded concepts."

Derby glared at the man as they moved up again, "You know what I think-"

"Really Derby, its alright," Kurt said to him.

"Why are you acting so okay with it?" Blaine asked him with a quiet voice.

Kurt smiled, "We arent at home anymore, but it doesnt matter to me because at the end of the day I get to go home to you. No one can take that away from me. And sure maybe there will be some annoying assholes along the way but Ive got you."

Blaine kissed him, "I love you."

"I love you too," Kurt said nudging Blaine with his elbow, "And so I cant imagine what well do for my graduation if this is what we are doing for yours."

"You think you two will still be together?" Derby asked with an annoying smile on his face.

"I ought to push you off this ride," Kurt said to him.

Blaine let out a laugh, "And I would gladly join him."

When they finally get to the front of the line, Derby stood alone in line, while Rachel and Maddie got in there own, and then Kurt and Blaine stood in another. They waited for the next car to come in climbed in when it came.

Blaine smiled over at Kurt, "This one is hands down my favorite."

Kurt gave a nod, "Okay. Ill take your word for it."

"You havent ridden this one before?" Blaine asked with wide eyes.

"No," Kurt said to him.

"Okay, well I suggest you hang on," Blaine said, "And the camera is in the tunnel, so if you want to pose do accordingly."

"I have an idea," Kurt said as he leaned over and whispered something in Blaines ear.

Blaine let out a laugh, "Yes, holy—yes."

A voice came over the intercom announcing their departure. They took off and Blaine held his arms up in the air as they started to make their way up the hill. As they reached the top there was a loud scream and they dived down the hill.

When they got off, Blaine pulled Kurts hand as they ran to see the pictures from the ride. He went inside the booth and couldnt stop laughing when he saw the picture.

"Oh wheres ours?" Rachel said when she got there. And then she looked over, "Blaine!"

Kurt smiled brightly, "I want one."

"Me too," Blaine said as he walked up to the woman. "Hi, we would like package b with picture 14."

The woman pressed a few buttons and then smiled, "How did you two manage that?"

Blaine smiled, "We do what we can."

Kurt elbowed Blaine, "I literally wasnt expecting you to pull my shirt so hard."

"You two macking on one of the biggest rides here is sort of dangerous if you think about it," Derby said, "But its also a bit kick ass."

Blaine handed Kurt one of the key chains, "I can now cross off making out on one of my favorite rides off my list."

"If that is on your list maybe it needs to be re-written," Kurt teased.

The group left and went off to find Kyle. He was watching some show and they kept walking. As they made there way towards the back of the park where the Western area was, there was a set of stocks and Blaine pulled Kurt over to them. "We have to do this!"

Kurt shook his head, "You act like a five year old sometimes."

Blaine pulled his phone out of his pocket, "Here take our picture." They took some pictures with different groups and even had the girls pretending to lock up the boys while someone offered to take their picture.

"We need to get that one framed and put it our music room," Derby said with a laugh.

"We will," Blaine said as he nodded his head.

Maddie wrapped an arm around Kyles middle, "So what should we do next?"

"I say we head towards the water rides next," Kurt spoke up, "Those are always fun."

"I get to see you all wet?" Blaine asked with a look in his eyes.

Kurt pushed Blaine away, but kept there hands locked together. "Head out of the gutter please."

Rachel walked up along side them, "After that I think we should get some Dip-In-Dots!"

"You know me too well," Kurt smiled over at her.

By the end of the day, the group had ridden all of the rides they wanted too and then some. They rode the Sky Ride to the front of park, with Blaine, Kurt, and Rachel sharing a car, while Derby, Kyle, and Maddie shared their own.

Blaine leaned over, "Hey Kyle, do you think if you rock the boat youll fall out?"

"Not funny!" Kyle yelled back at Blaine.

Kurt pulled on Blaines arm, "Leave him alone."

"Oh I get to tease him," Blaine said to his boyfriend, "He teases me relentlessly about naming my guitars."

Kurt shook his head with a laugh, "Boys."

"Why do people want me to find one of you?" Rachel asked with a playful sigh.

"Dont worry little sister, you will find a man who suits you well," Blaine said, "Or you know woman if you want. Whatever is fine with me."

Rachel lifted an eyebrow, "Okay older brother."

Kurt smiled, "You know there is this guy in one of my classes. He is handsome and has this killer look."

"If you are sure this one is not gay," Rachel said to him.

Blaine reached over and patted Rachels knee, "Dont worry, if hes talking about Todd then I know him and hes kind of cool."

"I am," Kurt smiled as he leaned over and kissed Blaine, "See I love when we think a like."

Rachel rolled her eyes, "You two are just too much at times."

"We try," Blaine said as he leaned over and kissed a few kisses along Kurts neck.

When the car landed, the friends got out and waited for the others. That is when someone ran up to Blaine.

"Oh my god, youre from Stereo Outcast!" the girl yelled, "Blaine!" And then she turned around, "And the rest of you! Can I please have a picture with you?"

Kurt gave Blaine a wink, "Ill take it, do you have a camera or phone?"

"Yes, thank you," the girl said handing Kurt the camera.

Stereo Outcast posed with their fan and Kurt took the picture. Rachel laughed as the girl skipped away happy she had gotten her picture taken with the band. "That was adorable."

"I have to admit I love it when that happens," Derby said smiling.

"Okay big head," Blaine said, "Im starving for some real food. McDonalds?"

"Yum French fries and friends, what more could you ask for," Maddie said laughing.

Kurt kissed Blaine on the cheek, "However you guys want to spend your graduation is fine with me."

"Good, because I just want it to be you, me, and my bestest friends," Blaine said pulling Kurt close as they walked to the exit.
