Welcome to Gaia! ::

Llujah wandered about the park happily. It was his first time at an amusement park and he was determined to go on every single ride. After riding three of the rides one after the other, he decided he was hungry and was standing impatiently in line for a pretzel. He frowned at how slow the line was moving, despite it being rather small, and he fingered the five dollar bill in his right hand. Why couldn't this stupid line go any faster? He was hungry and wanted to eat now!

The child stood grumpily in line and bounced on his toes. His tail twitched and his wings flapped impatiently away as he stood in line. He could tell that his mother was getting impatient as well, even though she did not show it. Llujah groaned and folded his arms, frustrated, when a strange boy walked over and stood in line behind him. Llujah turned around and the first thing he saw were the boy's large gray head-wings. Llu grinned and reached out to feel the boy's wings. "Wow! You have such cool wing-a-lings!"

Llujah giggled along with the strange boy as he petted his head-wings. He smiled at the compliment on his own wings and fluttered them happily. "Really? You like 'em? I love my wingies! They flap a lot when I'm excited and stuff!" Llujah wagged his tail along with his wings. He liked this new boy already! Plus his headwings were so cool! Llu wanted headwings, too!

He smiled at the odd boy, fingering his Chain Chomp keychain in his hands, having shoved the money in his skirt pocket. "Yeah, I'm gonna get a pretzel 'cause I'm hungry. And yeah, I've been on... three rides so far! They're so much fun!" Llu giggled girlishly and wagged his tail happily. Suddenly, he had a brainwave and he looked at the boy with wide eyes. "Hey! Why dontcha come ride the next one with me? We can sit together!"

Llujah giggled at this Pippin boy. He seemed kind of nerdy, but he looked really fun, too! He smiled at him and his apparent fright of the rides. "C'mon, it'll be fun! And it'll be a lot less scary if it's two of us so you won't be alone!" Llu looked about and realized that it was his turn to buy a pretzel. He gave the vendor the five dollar bill and received his change and his pretzel. While nibbling on the warm dough, he stepped out of line to let Pippin go ahead while still sticking close to talk to him.

Llujah smiled at Pippin. "'Kay, after you're done with your pretzel, how 'bout we go on one of the really really big rides before the line get too big?" He giggled and swished his tail from side to side. "It'll be fun! Oh! And my name's Llujah!"

Llujah giggled at Pippin while taking big bites out of the pretzel. He spoke once he had swallowed a large chunk. "Yeah! A big one! Like... Um..." Llu looked around to see if he could spot a large coaster to ride on when he laid eyes on a very big coaster that towered over the others. It had loop-de-loops, corkscrews, the works, and Llu's eyes seemed to sparkle at the concept of riding it. He pointed it out to Pippin excitedly. "That one!"

Without waiting for a reply, Llujah wolfed down his pretzel and excitedly grabbed Pippin's hand to lead him over to the coaster line. He bounded off happily towards the large ride, skipping and wagging his tail while holding tightly onto Pippin's hand.

Llujah giggled as he dragged his new friend along. "C'mon, lazy-bones! We gotta hurry to get good seats!" After dashing along through the crowds, the large roller coaster entrance finally came into view. It was designed like a haunted cave, complete with fake stalactites and a sinister looking face on the entrance wall. It was all very exciting, and Llujah bounced happily. He kept tugging on Pippin's arm in an attempt to hurry him along. "Let's go! Let's go! There's no line and I don't wanna wait!"

Llu's tail was twitching furiously in his excitement and his small wings were flapping so much it seemed that he might take flight. He bounced along, still dragging Pippin, and seated himself and the boy in the very front car. As the safety bars came down, Llujah looked to Pippin and giggled. "Isn't this fun?"

Llujah giggled at Pippin, who looked terrified for some reason. "Of course it's safe! Otherwise, no one would be able to ride it!" The car began to lurch forward and began to pick up speed. It rounded a corner and started to ascend up a steep hill. Llu was wide-eyed with excitement and his wings would not stop flapping. He glanced over to Pippin. "And now it gets super fun!"

The coaster rolled upwards farther and farther until it came close to a stand-still at the crest of the peak. Llu chanced a look over the car railing and peered down below. The view from the top was dizzying and Llu felt a little sick from vertigo for a split second, but he was too excited to be scared. Everyone down below looked like little ants. Llujah shook Pippin's arm excitedly. "Look down below, Pippin! Everyone looks so tiny!" As he spoke, the coaster lurched forward once more and started to go downhill. Llujah wiggled excitedly. "Here we go!"

Llujah giggled at his new friend's excitement. "That's good that you're not afraid of heights! 'Cause we're super super su-per high up!" He wiggled and grinned, then faced frontwards to the dizzying drop before them. The coaster lurched forward and sped downhill! The boy squealed loudly as the car went faster and faster while plummeting downhill. The car took a left turn and spiraled into a corkscrew. Llujah rose up his arms in his excitement and yelled loudly.

"Eeeee!!! Faster, faster!" He kept shouting as if his demands would will the ride to go even faster than it did now. They went into loop-de-loops, cobra turns, camel backs, more corkscrews... the whole shebang. Finally, after was what a much too short period of time, the coaster started to slow and rolled it's way back into the entrance of the ride. Llujah's wings fluttered violently and he gripped the safety bar tightly in his excitement. He turned to smile at Pippin. "Wasn't that fun?"
