"Oh yes, we are!" The troupe of four attempted simultaneously to stop looking stupidly to a more official glance."Aren't any of you coming? *heart*" The Earl tore his eyes of his glorious park to stare at his faithful Noah, who were standing somewhat dumbfounded at the mass of plastic and cement.
"The sooner we stopeth gazing, lero, the faster we can get into the parketh!" Lero had folded itself up and was standing aside the Millennium Earl's large body.
The Earl grinned, and he turned back to his wonderful park to gaze upon it once more.
It was a beautiful but confusing tangle of large plastic tubes and half-tubes all conglomerated together in different colors, the mass of them a sea-colored green--with a magenta one and three white slides. Hidden away from the others, two green ones were placed at dizzying heights.
All these slides had water flowing down from them, and small pools of water at the end of each slide. These masses were placed on a hill, with little trails leading from the bottom of the hill, up the side of the hill, and to the top of the hill, where each of the tubes had a starting point.
There was a plot of grass and trees in front of the hill, and little shops and stalls were set up lining a large fence that surrounded the whole waterpark.
The group of Noah and the Earl were standing on top of a large plot of asphalt and cement that seemed to be where horses and their carts were supposed to be parked--as it always seemed, the parking lot was empty--this was the starting point to the waterpark.
"Gwa ha ha. *heart*" The Earl laughed, proud of his park, and continued walking to the barred entrance, Lero hopping behind.
After several seconds of Road, Tyki, Devit, and Jasdero staring at the grand sight, Road seemed to snap out of a hypnotic trance of the mass of plastic and ran towards the Earl.
One by one, the Noah snapped out of their gaze and ran to catch up with the quickly diminishing Earl, Tyki obviously last--he grumbled audibly, still angry that he had to carry the luggage, and picked up the mounds of suitcases that the invited Noah had to pack. He lumbered gracefully foward, trailing the line of excited Noah who were eager to get to the park.
~~
The Earl watched Tyki shoving through the turnstyle to get into the park with an amused smile. It was a funny sight, watching him trying to shove all of the suitcases and himself through in one pass. The Earl chuckled, then turned to Road, Jasdero, and Devit.
"Get ready to have some fun, my dear Noah! *heart* Meet me behind those trees there. I need to get the park ready first. *heart*" He turned back to Tyki, who was still struggling.
"Gwa ha ha. *heart* Do you need help, Tyki-pon? *heart*?" The Earl asked Tyki.
"About time you came and asked, and please don't call me that." Tyki was instantly relieved that the Earl came to his assistance.
The Earl picked up Lero, and used it to point up. "My dear Akuma, we need help with the suitcases, please. *heart*" the Millennium Earl called.
Answering the homing call made by Lero, some level 2 Akuma flew from the skies, landed on the ground, and swiftly picked up the suitcases. They placed them on a nearby picnic table in neat rows, the flew away, leaving Tyki empty-handed.
"Thank you, master." Tyki gave a slight nod, and then casually walked through the turnstyle.
The Earl grinned at Tyki, then watched as all three Noah found their water clothing. Then they stood confused, staring at the smiling Earl.
"Changing rooms are over there. *heart*." The Earl pointed to his right with his gloved hand. "Have fun! *heart* *heart*"
The Noah walked to the changing rooms, and the Earl walked into the ticket stall, awaiting his visitors.
~~
Tyki carried his swimsuit--draped over his arm--walking to the men's changing room, when he saw a small blond head perched near the ground outside the fence.
Who is that? Tyki thought for a second, then the recognition came when he saw the boy's face mask. Eeze!
Tyki looked at himself for a second, and remembered that he was wearing his white dress shirt and his close-fitting black pants, with a silver chain connected to his pants on the right side, and with Cell Roron near the chain. He then quickly looked up at the sky.
I think it's dark enough that he doesn't fully recognize me yet. I almost completely forgot that I invited my buddies from my white form along. He thought quickly, standing still in the brisk morning air.
Tyki then strode to his suitcase and found his white form clothes, taking them out and replacing it with his swim outfit. He then walked to the changing room, avoiding Jasdero and Devit, who were fascinated with shower heads and pointing their gold revolvers at them menacingly. He then found a far stall, and lit a light-colored cigarette, changing his forms at the same time.
Tyki, now wearing his scruffy clothing, square-framed glasses, and hair straggly over his head, exited the stall, once again avoiding Jasdevi, who were playing now with the sink fixtures.
Tyki pretended to take a stroll along the fence, attempting to avoid averting his gaze to the trees outside, when he heard a man's voice.
"Tyki, is that you?" The man who wore a knit had emerged with the shadows, the dirty blonde-haired man and Eeze following behind.
"Yes, it is!" Tyki then walked towards the fence, meeting with his friends on the other side of the metal bars.
"Are we allowed to come in?" The dark-blonde man asked, holding Eeze's hand in one hand, and a meager suitcase in the other.
"Of course. Here, slip me the suitcase, then I'll help you over the bars--the erm... main entrance isn't working right now. Then Eeze first." Tyki caught the suitcase thrown over, then with the help of his white form friends, he successfully got all of them inside the park.
"Wow, this place is BIIG!" Eeze was excited, observing the large slides with big eyes.
Tyki laughed. "Yes it is! Just wait till we get started." He pointed towards a secluded corner in the park, hidden by trees. "Here. How about you guys go over there and get ready. I'll meet you in a minute--I.. have to take care of something first. I warn you that others will be coming here too, but don't pay attention to them unless I recognize them. They'll pay you no mind."
"Tyki, are you sure that we're not going to get in trouble? I don't wa--" The man with the hat started.
"Drew, don't worry about it. We're fine! I have this all taken care of--I know the owner of the park. He let us in fine." Tyki assured his friends.
"How can we repay you, Tyki? Wow." The other man seemed pretty amazed.
"Nothing at all, Mark. Nothing at all. This is just a great day to relax from all our roaming. Now, meet you in a while." Tyki waved to his orphan friends, then turned and walked towards the changing rooms, hoping that Jasdevi hasn't done any damage to the facility yet. He went inside, back to the stall where he left his Noah clothing.
I don't have to get ready to go right now. I'm just going to have a smoke and play some solitaire by myself for a while. I got all the time in the world. Tyki moved his other clothing under the seat within the stall, and pulled his faithful deck of cards out from his pocket, playing around with his regular cigarette.
~~
The Earl made sure that all the food shops he was going to sololy command were up and running, and reentered the ticket stall. He sat down in the small chair, Lero by his side, and stared out at the parking lot. The Earl checked his watch--Just about time. *heart* He thought, thinking of the second party coming to the park.
After a few moments, the Earl summoned an Akuma to check on the arriving parties' status--using that particular level 3 Akuma's ability to acutely hear and see from far distances. The level 3 notified that a group of people just made a turn from the main road, and turned into the forest--the same turn that the Noah and the Millennium Earl made only a few hours earlier. The Earl dismissed the Akuma and put his hands together. This is going to be an interesting day. *heart* They're almost there, to their destination. *heart*

Sowwie that this is soo long! *dies* I didn't know that it was going to be this long--I needed Tyki to get his buds in here, and the Earl had to set up. *slaphead* They're going to be shorter now, cause everybody's going to intermingle now. *evil Noah grin* Hopefully a rematch between Allen and Tyki is coming...Was Tyki okay? He needed a scene, or I was going to have a heart attack soon. T.T I promise, promise, promise that this is the last big one I have! *suicidal note* If I don't, I'll .... I'll... I spent an hour and a half on that! *dies* It was exactly twice as long as my first Noah one! I must find release! *goes on Maplestory*
