Day Of Fun Pt 2 (Set just after 5 Years Later)

The bus awaited, once again being transformed from a party bus to one that could transport all those in the Knight Family home to the amusement park, ready for their fun day out of bounding together. Finn and Becky more than happy to go with the flow, having been asking Bayley about what was to come for weeks as well as asking her to repeat the stories she had when those they had spent the after party with were Seniors. The huggable teenager was more than happy to retell her memories, although she gave rather vague answers to the questions both the Irish descent asked her. Only a smile come to her lips upon remembering the last time she had spent the day with them, how she returned home with many stuffed toys and the camera with pictures of the day on it.

"I can't tell you what they have planned since I don't know but I can show you pictures from the last time I was with them" whispered Bayley, she, Becky and Finn were the first three up, the room deathly silent as the large group slept in the living room under blankets or sleeping bags. AJ and Punk once again snuggled together as were Layla and Justin. The latter of which had a hand resting on Layla's stomach as if protecting their unborn child. The huggable teenager soon reached into her bag, pulling out the camera she had been given before, more than happy to show the timeless memories she had gained that day.

"WAKE UP!" screeched Zak, setting off an air horn shortly after and scaring those who were still asleep and hungover awake. A satisfied smile on his lips as he winked over to the senior year three, showing he was well aware the three had been awake for a short time. "Headache tablets and breakfasts on the table. If its burnt blame Roy" added the middle Knight child, keeping his sarcastic comment to himself when it come to the Lunatic and Architect although he knew at least his sister knew what he was thinking as Punk had likely worked it out, especially if his tired yet somehow scared and cheeky smile was anything to go by. "Gotta show these two how to have fun at an amusement park while looking after momma to be over there" finished Zak as he pointed to those he was referring to, almost bursting into laughter upon seeing how his older brother was dressed. The apron their mother used to wear while cooking along with one of their dad's old hoodies, he could see Paige wasn't far behind him with trying to keep her laughter under control, Summer the same at her side.

"Did I ever say I missed this" utter Summer as she wiped the sleep from her eyes and stood to her feet, happy to pull others to a standing position so they could get the day underway. As well as smile at some of the memories to come back to her. "Randy, did you come up with the pairs for the challenges later on or the groups?" asked the leggy blond as she walked through into the dinning room, the smell of muffins catching her attention along with that of freshly made coffee. The others soon joining her, just as a soft smile took over most when Paige hugged her brothers tightly, knowing this was likely to be one of the last time the three were together as a family before the two Knight boys return to England, Zak taking his girlfriend and baby son with him.

"Yup teams with Layla and Justin being the judges on who wins" responded Randy once he had swallowed the mouthful of muffin he head, the feeling of peacefulness once again taking over, especially when he knew or rather he though the group was now complete again, with the addition of two new members, he looked forward to spending time getting to knew the duo better as he was sure others would too. They were apart of his little family now, even if they didn't quite realise it. "Lots of photos to be taken and a few videos to make something for our own kids. Since we all know Summer has totally prepared and planned for it" continued the man who was known for his RKO's out of nowhere.

"Layla pregnancy and Dolph being a dad got us all thinking for the future and what we could give them beside a huge ass extended slightly bonkers family" spoke Punk revealing what some of them had been whispering about, as well as showing the group Bayley had known five years prior was back this time for good. They had solved their problems and decided to move on together, something they had shown Bayley the night before when some of the couples she knew from then attended the prom together in the same dresses as before. The only exception being Sami and Emma both of which attended with one of the senior year students. "We all want to have our families one day, so to show them what we're like when we were young, Summer came up with the idea of creating a video. Using clips our families have of us" finished the man who often shouted he's the best in the world or its clobbering time. Explaining how some of them were looking to the future upon discovering Dolph was a daddy as well as Layla and Justin expecting their first child together.

An hour or so later seen the large group on the bus heading towards the amusement park, Bayley already excited for the fun she was sure would ensue, surrounded by those who had given her the sense of belonging so many years before, those who had unknowingly been role models for her and others around the school. A small smile coming to her lips again upon realising the only member of the original Misfit line up to know she had kept all the stuffed animals they had once given her was Sami, having admitted to him a while before hand. Just like last time the bus ride was full of terrible singing, jokes and laughter, the sense of family running wild within the bus as Paige's uncle drove them there, a smile on his lips as he could imagine what his brother would be like if he seen the large group now, how proud he would be to see they had solved their issues and return to being the family like unit they were known for, their unity all but being a sign of power and strength to those who knew them.

"Righty just like before, I'll be back at 5 to pick you lot up and take you back home. Take lots of pictures and look after each other" spoke Johnny as the young adults and teenagers exited the bus, where upon he gave Layla and Justin a camera each, along with another one to Emma and Sheamus knowing they would once again separate into different groups. "Have fun!" called the older more responsible man to the group as they ran towards the entrance of the amusement park. He knew this time would be much different from the last, the three youngest would basically be spending the day with a bunch of wrestling celebrities, those who graduated years before hand were now famous in the world of wrestling, most being recognisable for one thing or another. A smile once again appearing on his lips as he watched them go, knowing both Ricky and Saraya would be proud to see their daughter trying to put on a brave face despite the pain and grief she was still enduring.

"PICTURE!" excitedly shouted Sami, just like before gathering everyone in front of the sign and asking one of the many park employees to take a picture of them, each with bright smiles on their lips, Bayley hooking any arm around the shoulders of Becky and Finn as if she was making sure they would stay with her throughout the day. The large group soon split into three, each of the senior year students in one of the groups. Seth, Paige, AJ, Punk, Dean and Summer were more than happy to take Finn and Becky into their little group, heading towards the rides the pair had mentioned they wanted to go on, during the short bus trip to get there. Where as Randy, Sami, Emma, Dolph and Sheamus took Bayley with them heading off in the direction of the water rides, leaving Layla, Justin, Adam, Adrian and Roman in a little group together to randomly wonder around the park. All agreeing to meet up later in the day to get something to eat and go onto the group challenges and bumper cars. Layla and Justin would also going around and get a few pictures or video clips to show they could still be the biggest goof-balls despite their age and successful careers.

The mother to be could only smile when she caught a snap of Finn acting as if he was a tiny person in the palm of Becky's hand, just as Justin caught a small video of Randy, Bayley, Sami, Sheamus, Emma and Dolph once again going around on the spinning tea cups, a smile on his lips when he seen the confused looks of some of the smaller kids who recognised them from TV watching as they went around with cartoonish smiles, wobbling slightly when the ride ended thanks to Dolph happily spinning their cup as fast as he possible could while it went around. Layla had also caught a video of Roman finally getting revenge with a blown up hammer on Adam for the partier doing the same thing to all of them on half a decade earlier. Yet her favourite one was of Dean once again showing his love for Summer by giving her a piggy back around the park or at least to the next part. Becky being involved in a group hug with Paige and AJ where as Finn had almost become another member of the Shield. If she didn't know any better she would have happily said they were all senior year students rather than three seniors and a bunch of working young adults.

~ A Few Hours Later ~

Layla and Justin waited at the little food area all of them had agreed to meet at, the ride Nemisis thunder above them every time it shot past at lightening speed. Roman near by looking at Ripsaw, the memories of when he had last ridden it coming back to him and how it had unexpectedly turned everyone upside down into the sprinklers just below it. Adam also there doing a little dance to the beat only he could hear while also looking over the pictures they had collected and those Layla and Justin had managed to capture, chuckling every once in a while with Adrian when he seen the video clips both parents to be had captured of those they called family.

"Yo where's the twisted sister group?" asked Dolph upon returning with his own little group trailing behind, Sami with an oversized top had on, where as Randy walked about with a pair of bunny year, he soon watched as Roman walked over, clearly having not noticed those with his former shield brothers had yet to return. Justin on the other hand merely looked towards Layla hinting he had seen them and knew of their location, made clear by the way he had the bags of each of those who had yet to return, the pictures they had collected inside each of them, accompanied by the items they had also picked up along the way.

"Look up" responded Justin as he pointed up to the roller-coaster tracks above the group. "They should be passing by any second now" added the father to be, hearing the thundering sound of the large roller-coaster coming, sure enough it soon zoomed past with the missing group in the front rows, all screaming as they went past yet the blurry smiles on their lips suggested they loved the experience. "Becky and Finn said they wanted to try it, so the entire group went on, it took some convincing to get Punk and Summer on there" finished Justin knowing there would be a few wobbly legs and uncertain looks when the group of eight finally rejoined them, just as he knew they would bring the pictures of the ride with them too.

"You all ready for the rapids and Storm Force 10?" asked Layla knowing she had convinced most of them to go on the train ride around the large amusement park and the little boat ride around a castle that was supposed to be Camelot. A smile once again graced her lips upon seeing Finn and Becky run towards the group, both visibly excited for what was to come next, although they seemed more than ready for food. Becky's hair also messed up from the thrust of the roller-coaster she just came off, the six remaining members of the little group soon appearing, Dolph soon checking in with Nikki to see how his little girl was doing and sending her a picture of the stuffed bear he had gotten her from one of the many gift shops scattered around the parks.

"So what's the plan after the food hour?" asked Dean, knowing those who were in Layla's group would have been on a few rides themselves as well as coming up with a plan of action and the group challenges. Just as he was sure there would be new memories to past down as stories and more bounding. He could already seen how much of a bound Becky had got with Paige, much like he could see Finn was building up a bound with all those he was spending the day with, both seeing why Bayley had grown so fond of them over the years. Just as he was sure those who were around would be there for each other as a little family when one of the others needed it most.

"Boat ride around Camelot, Storm Force Ten, the Rapids and the old favourite of the Bumper Cars" replied Layla knowing Bayley would remember the last time when she was paired with Roman to make sure she wasn't hurt, even how she chose the targets he aimed at. Yet this time would be slightly different, with each member of the group likely having their own little car to target others in. "After that is the challenges, since we all want to see if AJ can repeat her trick on Punk from last time and we all want to see how lethal Becky and Finn are on the bumper cars" finished the English native mother to be, a small smile coming to her lips upon noticing Paige with ice cubes in her hands, happily placing the frozen water cubes down Seth's back, watching as the man known as The Architect yelled out in surprise and turned to see who had caught him off guard.

"Oh that's so game on" spoke Seth to the innocent smile Paige had plastered on her painted lips, almost as if she had been victorious in her game plan. The two toned wrestler could see the mischeivous look in the eyes of the woman he had once again gotten back, quickly figuring the ice cubes down his back was just the start of whatever she had been concocting. "Whatever you're planning, I'm up for helping" added the former member of the Shield, seeing the raven haired woman next to him nod slightly to his request, although she stayed quiet until she was sure the others were distracted. "Roman where did you get the hammer from?" asked Seth just noticing the giant blown up hammer resting on the blown up pool seat floaty, he was curious what the smallest group had gotten up to while the rest were all running over the park and going on adrenaline rushes.

"One of the stools in where Thunder Mountain is, I think Justin or Adrian got the pool floaty from one of the gift shops" responded the Samoan teen, almost curious to know what Paige was up to and what Seth had volunteered for. "What are you planning Paige?" asked Roman, terrified as he was sure the others were to find out what the raven haired English woman had been planning for the rest of them, he could see Finn's curiosity too, much like others were no doubt remembering the times over the past couple of years where she had been instrumental in some pranks. The tickle stick one where someone had given her a cattle prod, or even the bloody mess one where she had disguised herself as a piercer in a Hot Topics store.

"Ah you know just the normal, targetting everyone on the bumper cars, water fights, borrowing the hammer, throwing Bayley in the wet zone, practical jokes, maybe seeing how long Becky and Finn last on the spinning doughnut boat things" replied Paige noticing the look she got from those she named, as well the sheer terror of those who knew all to well what she was capable off. Sheamus on the other hand could only chuckle as he knew it was all meant in good fun and that she had likely succeeded in her first part, just seeing the terror in the eyes of the others when she mentioned her little plan. "Oh don't forget we have Laser Tag as well, a proper welcome for our senior trio" added the raven haired woman, doing a good job at masking her grief, although she also appeared grateful no one had mentioned the event to cause her so much pain or ask how she was handling it.

"Ah the normal pranks and jokes shall reign" commented Sheamus, a smile once again taking over his lips as he stood behind the two Irish teenagers, almost as if he was protecting them from the pranks that were sure to happen now someone had mentioned them. "Crikee fella" yelled Sheamus when he was suddenly doused in water, shortly followed by Dean, Punk, Dolph, Finn, Adam, Randy and all six girls. Justin doing a celebration dance upon finally catching most of them unawares, although trying to hold back his laughter, upon seeing each of them dripping wet and Layla throwing an open bottle of water at him. "Instead of throwing Bayley in the Wet zone, get Justin instead" advised the older Irishman, seeing how the mischeivous grin appeared to Paige's lips as she ringed out her black locks, as well as shaking her arms to get the excess water off.

"Or we could just let Layla get him" spoke AJ, seeing the way the mother to be looked at her fiancé, almost as if she was mentally picturing how to get revenge on her baby daddy. Although she could see it was all in good fun. "Right so who's up for some bumper car action and waltzers in the dark?" asked the smaller woman, knowing for sure Seth and Dean could remember the last time they went on the waltzers, how they had completely missed the steps leading down to the pavement, falling over although getting back to their feet as fast as they could without falling over again. "Lets hope you two Shield boys don't end up hugging the floor again" cheekily finished AJ noticing how Bayley chuckled along with Summer, both clearly remembering what happened back then, as did the other who could only smile at the memory.

"Appreciate the reminder" responded Dean remembering when he face planted the floor following missing the steps. "I'm pretty sure Seth got the nicer end of the stick considering Paige helped him walk until he regained is sense of balance" continued the man known as the lunatic, remembering when Summer had almost thrown her flat shoe at him when he lost balance and almost pushed her into the small lake surrounding one of the water rides. He felt lucky that day when Randy had caught her before she fell in. "I almost got a shoe thrown at my head for losing balance and almost pushing Summer into the lake over there" finished Dean pointing to the lake and showing he remembered that day rather well despite it being several years ago. That alone brought a small smile to Becky.

"You guys remember everything you did together don't you?" asked Becky seeing some of the nods she got in response, as well as showing how much they meant to each other, even if they didn't always show it. "A family away from home, that's cute and something I would happily be proud to admit I'm apart of" continued the Irish teenager, remembering how her Freshman year wish come true, she could remembered how she wrote in her diary she wanted to go to her senior prom with Sheamus, a wish that came true thanks to the schools headmaster bringing back those he thought would help the most. The misfits.

"Alright lets get this show moving before we all end up in tears" spoke Roman, noticing how some of them had tears in their eyes, although he could also see Punk and AJ smile slightly to see how Seth wrapped an arm around Paige as if to make sure no one took her away, even how Dean sat on the bench table next to Summer like nothing hand changed with their relationship, yet one of the two pairs had only just revealed they were once again together to those they attended school with and the other two were just beginning to adjust to life around each other again, adjusting to being friends after everything that happened between the pair of them. "Lets show Bayley, Becky and Finn how we truly have fun as a family" added the Samoan before pulling the fiery haired teen to her feet and leading her off to the waltzers, noticing the other followed shortly behind, even how Emma happily did the same with Finn and Sami doing a similar thing with Bayley.

"Watch the steps this time" called Adam as they entered the dark shack that housed the dizzying ride, the large group soon split into fours and found one of the circular pods, quickly locking themselves in and waiting for the music to begin, the lights to go out and the dizziness from being spun around so many times to begin. AJ's laughter could be heard upon the ride beginning as did the cheers of the group riding it, those who spun the saucers making sure to give the large group the experience they were clearly looking forward to. The air filling with the booming music, screams of fun and the loud woohoos until it ended. After which the group were let free to exit the ride and rediscover what balance was. The mini train ride around the park was the next stop since the tiny station used to go on it was near by, each managing to find the steps without losing their footing although tripping over their own feet once reacting the bottom.

"The hangover this morning pales in comparison to this" spoke Adrian as he wobbled over to the station, just managing to make it up the small hill and steps of the wooden platform, relieved when he was able to sit down before completely falling over. The train ride was fall of little conversations between the group, the occasions humour, Paige being hit with a branch from a tree although she laughed it off with the other girls at the back of the train, where as Finn happily took the time to bound with those who he was more than happy to call friends, their true colours coming through as jokes were told, Dean getting distracted and randomly singing, Roman being sprayed with water even Dolph attempting to recreate Emma's little dance and Paige's primal scream much to the amusement of others.

"Paige" called Finn from the carriage in front of the girls, a small smile coming to his lips at what he was going to ask, something he knew only she would be able to advise him on, since she was the only one of the large group to be selected as class valedictorian. "How did you come up with your valedictorian speech? What advice would you give someone else who has to do it?" asked the rather nervous teenager, the speech he had to write hitting him as he revealed to the two girls in senior year with him who the class representative was. Paige soon smiled upon remembering her own speech and how she had come up with it, her mum giving her encouraging words as she spent days trying to come up with something.

"In truth, I screwed my original one up at the podium. Made it up as I was going along" replied Paige being honest with her response, she knew how nerve racking doing a speech in front of the entire class was, as well as the parents. Just as she knew the pressure to get it right. "Speak from the heart, that way you can't go wrong. Even if it feels like everyone is waiting for you to mess up, just remember you were chosen for the position for a reason, something you did got the school board and Vince to choose you. So just go with it and show people what made Finn Balor the resident Demon King" continued the English native, a sweet smile coming to her lips, especially when she hoped her advice would help the teenager with his troubles, the Irish native soon nodded and smiled like he was taking her words to heart. "My mum always used to say. Rise up and stand on faith, your spirit is alive your spirit lives inside" finished Paige remembering the words her mother used to tell her whenever she lost confidence in herself, Finn soon looked back over to her almost as if he had heard the words somewhere before.

"BUMPER CARS" excitedly announced Dean upon exiting the little train at a different station, the attraction most of them loved just a short walk away. They each soon darted off towards the ride, Layla opting to stay to the side and film them instead a smile on her lips as she did so, watching as each had their own car and had a certain target in mind. Roman being the one to target each of them at least twice, almost like he was secretly getting payback for something that had happened yet had quickly been forgotten. She happily chuckled to herself upon noticing the couples were targetting each other with Summer aiming at Justin and Dean alike while also waving to the camera as she went past. All of those involved having cheerful smiles placed firmly on their lips as they continued to make memories together and just generally enjoy the time they spent in each others company.
