Ok, so this started out as a silly story idea based on my recent trip to Six Flags with my real-life best friend and beta reader, MuffinQueen10. On the looooong car trip home, I borrowed her laptop and started typing up a 'journal' of sorts about how funny we acted around the JL heroes. I honestly intended to only write a one-shot ficlet. Honest. It just kinda grew from there, and we have a 5 chapter story, full of humor, adventure, and utter fangirlness on my part. Ugh. I didn't realize how badly I have the disease known as 'typical fangirl' till I was done. Up until a certain point (which I'm not going to disclose- judge for yourselves where the fiction begins), Chapter 2 and beyond is a true story of what happened to MuffinQueen10 and me this past Tuesday. Chapter 1? Well… I'd like to hope…

Disclaimers and all that joyful stuff: I don't own Flash, GL, Batman, the Joker, or Six Flags (darn it!) so there you go.

I also don't own MuffinQueen10- much as I like to drag her into trouble, she is her own person. She did contribute a Texas-sized lot to this story, by the way, especially in chapters 4 and 5, where she's being particularly brilliant and random. She's like that in real life, guys. Whenever she actually gets around to actually posting stuff (hint hint MQ…), make sure you read her writing. She's great.

Oh, and I make no claims to owning myself. That would just be weird. I like to think I control my own actions, but… again, judge for yourself. I'm a hopeless fangirl, I think. Oh well. Nothing can be done to cure me at this point. I've discovered FF. Ha. So there.

One more thing: I don't own, but do mention, Kyer. ;)

I may have a picture from the trip as my avatar after Sunday, so keep your eye out for it. :D Just have to wait for the pictures to be uploaded and sent to me... *twiddles thumbs*

Now, after that long introduction, enjoy this silly little tale of Six Flags, and remember that little REVIEW button at the bottom of the page! Thanks all! -Merides

HAVE A SIX FLAGS DAY!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It had been a completely normal day for Wally. Work at the lab, patrol the city as the Flash, then up to the Watchtower to be teased mercilessly by the rest of the League. Nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, it had been one of the more boring days… he'd been assigned to monitor duty with Supes again. It had been fun to bother him mercilessly, as always, but still… he had been bored. Nothing had happened to brighten up his day.

Till now.

Kyle Rayner had showed up at the Watchtower. He'd been given some time off, and had headed back to Earth for a vacation. First, though, he'd stopped at the 'Tower to check on old friends. Wally had cornered him right away, and the two of them had spent the rest of the afternoon catching up. Usually, Wally wasn't assigned to non-Earth missions, so he loved hearing about Kyle's adventures… about all the people he met… all the girls he saved… all the places he'd been… all the girls he'd saved… Eventually, they decided to grab a bite at Kyle's favorite burger joint and continue their conversation in a more relaxed environment.

They talked long into the evening, reminiscing about missions they'd worked together on. Wally was halfway through his third plate of burgers when his comlink went off. J'onn's voice came through the small speaker. "Flash, there's a dimensional anomaly near your location. I know Kyle's there with you- I need the two of you to check it out." Wally groaned in mock agony. He sighed and looked over his plate to Kyle. "Mind checking out a 'dimensional anomaly' with me?" he asked, making quotes with his fingers.

"Not at all," Kyle replied with a smile. Wally tapped his com. "We're on our way, J'onn." Kyle grabbed another bite, Wally another two burgers, and, after leaving an amount on the table sure to more than cover the cost of their meal and the tip, they left the restaurant. Wally led the way, restraining his speed until they could find a more suitable location to change into costume.

A nearby alleyway served their needed purpose. Wally changed into the costume he'd stored in his ring, and Kyle switched into his uniform using his Green Lantern ring. Wally laughed at that irony, then winked at his friend. "Try to keep up."

Together, the two of them hurried to the location as J'onn relayed it to Flash via the comlink. It wasn't hard to spot- a giant, swirling hole in the ground, in the middle of the desert, near a deserted old mine. Typical. The fact that the Batjet was parked next to it also helped… just a little bit.

"Hey Bats!" Flash zipped next to the Dark Knight. "So… What's with this 'dimensional anomaly'? Anything we can fix?"

Batman directed a short glare at Flash, then returned to staring at a device in his hand. "It's been getting bigger. This seems to be an inter-dimensional link to a parallel world. I haven't been able to determine quite yet which parallel world…"

"You have them all cataloged?" Wally interjected. Batman looked at him. "Right…" Wally said. "Of course you do. You're Batman, for cryin' out loud."

"So what's your plan?" Kyle asked.

"I've already sent a probe through. We should be receiving pictures very soon. Already, I've determined that the Parallel has similar atmospheric makeup, and that the coordinating dimensional link is in an urban area. Just a few more minutes and I'll be able to pinpoint where exactly it's located." The device in his hand began beeping.

Wally leaned over Batman's shoulder, his eyes widening at the picture. The Joker's smiling face filled the top half of the screen, while the background showed families walking around him, smiling, posing for pictures, and generally having a great time. "Dude… that's Joker… sort of…" Wally trailed off.

"We're going in after him. It's obvious that Joker found this one-dimensional portal before us, and has infiltrated the citizenry. We need to get him back to our world before he sets whatever plan he has in motion." Batman frowned deeply as he snapped the device closed.

"Right," Kyle said. "Go in, get Joker, and get back. I like it- short and simple."

"Not quite," Batman replied. "Somehow, no one's scared of Joker. He's probably used a gas or some sort of mind control to influence their thinking. If I know Joker, and I do, in their influenced state of mind, they'll not stand for any aggressive action towards him on our part. We'll need to be a bit more subtle." Batman pointed at the two of them. "I need the two of you to work the crowds. Get a feel for their thought processes. Are they scared? Are they under some sort of hypnosis? Let me know. I'll work the Joker angle. Once we find him, and get him out of their sights, we'll bring him home. Got it?"

"Yep."

"Count on me, Bats."

With a final, long Batglare at Wally, Batman stepped into the portal. Kyle energized his ring, creating a field of green protective energy around himself, and dove in. Wally looked around a final time, making sure no one was looking. Once assured of that fact, he cannonballed into the hole of swirling dimensionality.

***

Wally regained his hearing before his sight. Thunder, shouts, screams of pure terror, loud music and laughter assaulted him. He pressed his hands to his ears, opening and shutting his eyes in a futile attempt to see his surroundings. Thunder rolled past him again, accompanied by laughter and screaming. Moments later, the fastest man alive was pummeled with a gust of wind.

Finally, light and color slowly bled back into existence. Kyle held out a hand towards his friend, offering to help him stand. Wally took it gratefully, wavering slightly as he adjusted to the changed gravity and reestablished his equilibrium. He looked around for Batman, not seeing him anywhere nearby.

"Ugh… what happened, Kyle?" He held a hand to his head, trying to adjust.

"Not quite sure. Whatever happened, we're not near the dimensional portal any longer. I don't have a comlink or I'd try to contact Bats…" he said, pointedly.

"Oh, right. Hang on." Wally tapped the comlink. "Uh… Bats? Are you there?"

"Where. Are. You?" Batman's gravelly voice immediately answered. "I've been trying to contact you for over ten minutes."

"Uh… Sorry, Bats. Just got here, just regained vision and all… Your dimensional portal's a bit rough, buddy."

"Where ARE you?" Batman repeated.

Wally looked around. "Somewhere… next to a big… um…"

"Rollercoaster. Yellow Rollercoaster," Kyle supplied.

"Right- yellow rollercoaster. Rollercoaster? Really?" Wally's eyes lit up.

"We're in an amusement park of some sort," Batman replied. "Things are a bit strange here- I'm investigating. We need to find Joker as soon as possible. I want you two to stick to the plan- work the crowds, see if anything is out of the ordinary. I'll contact you when I can." He paused for a moment, just long enough for Wally to think the conversation was over. He jumped when Batman spoke again. "You won't need to change out of costume. Trust me on this one."

"Uh… ok, Bats. We'll let you know if we find anything." Wally ended the transmission.

"So?" Kyle prompted.

"We're in an amusement park."

"I gathered that."

"We're supposed to stick to the plan."

"Alright."

"We're supposed to stay in costume."

"Oh…. Kay…" Kyle raised an eyebrow.

"Bats said so. Don't ask me."

Wally looked around, getting a good concept of where they were. Thunder rolled by again- he recognized it now as the coaster. They were apparently somewhere behind the scenes- there were back doors, labeled in simple black letters all down one side of the alleyway they stood in. The other side of the street was blocked by a tall wooden fence- he could see the coaster through the gaps.

"What are you two doing here? You're supposed to be in Los Festivales right now!" A disgruntled park employee stormed up to them. "I know you two are new here and all, but you really need to pay attention to your assigned schedules if you want to keep your jobs."

Kyle shifted from one foot to the other, immediately playing along. "Uh… right," he paused, looking at the nametag on their new manager's shirt, "Tim. We were just heading there. You know, new and all… we kinda got lost back here." Wally nodded enthusiastically.

"You sure did- How the heck did you get this far from the locker room without someone letting me know? Now get your sorry selves over to the entrance and pose for the crowds, or there're going to be some disappointed families. Today's Tuesday. Some fans come just to see you two. Get out there. NOW."

"Right. Sorry. On our way." Kyle looked appropriately shamefaced.

"And what's with the costume, Gary? Did you take it home and add padding to it?" Tim directed his glare- rivaling the Batglare - at Wally. "You know the regulations about altering the suits."

"Uh… no… just been working out, is all," 'Gary' answered. He shrugged, his costume moving comfortably over his shoulders to demonstrate.

"Pretty durn fast job of it. Now you and Stu get out there." Tim pointed at the gate, sending the two heroes out into the 'real' world of the amusement park. They hurried out, following the signs to the entrance of the park, where they 'worked the crowd' by posing for pictures with kids, families, and screaming babies.
