A Date by Any Other Name...

Who: Amelia and Celine

What: Carnival Date!

Where: A carnival in Germany

When: October 19

Status: Closed

Where Celene's home is was of course well known to Amy by now, Emi had told her since not only did she trust her doppelganger/sister, she guessed she might be interested in Celine.

She was right, of course. And at the agreed time, Celine might hear a gentle knocking at her apartment door... Amy was dressed quite smartly for a visit to the carnival, she wanted to impress.

There was a little commotion from the other side of the door before it opened. There was an end table a little out of place. She had probably run into the corner as she scrambled for the door. "Hello."

She wasn't quite as well dressed as Amy (it was a carnival after all) but she did look nice. She was also far more relaxed than the vampire doppleganger. "Let me just grab my bag and we can go whenever you like.

As the the door opened, after hearing that little commotion just before, Amy's nervousness was momentarily forgotten... "Hi...Um, what was that noise?"

She'll wait patiently for Celine to get her bag, of course.

"I just bumped my shin on the table. It's not a big deal." Celine slipped back into her apartment, returning several moments with a shoulder bag. She closed and locked the door behind her, tossing her key into the larger pouch. No doubt it would be near impossible to find later.

"Thanks again for inviting me. Truth be told I'm rather excited."

"Oh? I-I'm glad, Celine..." She shyly offers the taller woman her arm, trying to calm the butterflies in her stomach... "Shall we, um... go?"

"Gladly." Celine took Amy's arm, guiding her quickly out of the apartment and eventually out onto the street.

"I was thinking we could fly there, but I'm not as quick as I'm not as quick as you or your sister." Not that she really minded. That and poor Amy would probably be uncomfortable on a bus full of people. Especially with her wings...

Indeed she would, and people would certainly stare, and it might even be crowed, which also makes her uncomfortable.

"I'd like that, Celine." She was ready to go when Celine was.

Letting go of Amy's arm, Celine had to focus for a moment before she began to float up. Taking off was always a bit of an effort but... Once she was in the air she waited a moment, regaining her balance before gesturing to the vampire.

"It's not that far, fortunately."

Of course she could fly as well as her sister,and lifted off without any problems once Celine was in the air. The vampire offers her hand shyly to Celine...

"Ah? I see."

Celine took the offered hand and flew straight up, higher and higher until the buildings were cleared, and then off in another direction. She really was slow at flying but she would not mind if Amy pulled her along a bit. Emi generally did much worse than a gentle tug.

Emi was a bit of a troll at times... Amy was making sure she didn't go too fast for Celine, and did nothing more than a gentle tug.

The tug did help and Celine didn't seem to mind at all. It did help her speed up quite a bit, though she was relying on Amy to help her stop when the time came... and come it did. Changing direction a little, Celine angled herself to land in a clearing on the edge of the parking area. It was certainly better than landing in front of the carnival itself and having everyone stare at them.

Celine... had some trouble landing, hitting the ground a bit harder than intended and letting go of Amy as she stumbled forward, catching herself before she fell.

"Sorry I don't have the hang of that yet."

It was, of course, a much better place to land than in the middle of the carnival... She let go, then followed Celine down, landing gently beside her.

"Don't you go flying with Emi sometimes?"

"Sometimes. I'm just... really bad at it." She was reluctant to admit it but considering her previous display it wasn't all that surprising. "I should practice more."

Regardless she offered Amy her hand, gesturing to the carnival with the other. While they had been in the air they had gotten a good look at the place. the center was dominated by several rides including a good sized Ferris wheel. There were plenty of smaller stalls and tents, likely selling food or offering games. A large stall near the back likely had a petting zoo likely with similar animal related attractions next to it.

"Anyway, what sort of thing would you like to do first?"

Speaking of rides... Amelia dislikes roller coasters, she won't go on them. Something like a Ferris wheel is a ride she's okay with.

Maybe going to the game stalls first would be more her speed. "Let's start with the stalls?"

Celine will also probably avoid the roller coasters but she might be up for something that spins a little later. Sorry Amy.

"Sure. We might be able to go see a show later too." Celine crossed the parking lot with Amy gently in hand, paid the entry fee (ignoring the stares they got for now) and entered properly. There was quite a bit to choose from.

"Why don't you pick what you want to do first?"

The wings were getting most of that kind of attention... as well as the fact Amy looks just like Emi except with blonde hair.

"Um... Shooting gallery?"

"Alright. I'll warn you though I'm quite good..." A pause. "Provided the game isn't rigged, of course."

Kind of hoping for the impossible aren't you Celine?

After getting some direction she led the pair over to the booth, scanning the various prizes, sizing up the fake guns, examining the targets... Not exactly rigged but no doubt the targets were a great deal smaller than their silly hair would suggest.

"Would you like to give it a shot?" The pun was not intentional.

"Okay."

She takes position behind one of the guns, which were attached to a pivot, and pays for her turn...

Then, she aims, and fires... only hitting one target with the third shot.

She gets a prize anyway, something rather small and pointless. There were larger prizes for landing more than three shots but that involved paying for and hitting quite a few targets.

Celine was up next, paying for two turns and moving up next to Amy. She crouched down a bit, wrapping both arms around the gun, bracing it down against her elbow. It wasn't really against the rules but it was certainly unusual.

She adjusted herself a little, looking around down at her arm and then over the top of the gun again. She took aim... missed once, and hit he remaining five shots. The gun didn't actually shoot perfectly straight, hence the somewhat dramatic display, but she had figured it out.

Obviously missing a shot meant she wasn't going to get the best prize for a six shot attempt but she was still able to pick out a little stuffed cat, picking the grey one out of many nauseatingly colorful ones, and offering it to Amy.

"Sorry, I'd probably do better if I was throwing something."

Well, that did get a raised eyebrow from Amelia, but as she quickly found out, it seemed to almost work.

And in the end she got a cute stuffed cat out of it, which Amy gratefully accepted. She was a little indecisive when it came to where to go, though... so she'll follow Celine's lead.
