His smile grew as he gave a brief nod. “Alright. Then let's go and win you the biggest prize we see.” he enthused, turning back and starting the bike back up. “Got the helmet back on?”

Maria smiled a little at his enthusiasm pulling the helmet back on "yeah I've got it dont worry "
He chuckled a little and carefully merged back on the road. The fairground wasn't much further away at this point but the music was growing steadily louder.

She held his waist again listening to the music with a smile on her face it's true she'd never gone to a carnival before so she was excited but a little nervous as well
Marcus was probably just as excited, but it wouldn't surprise him if he was wrong on that point. He turned into the main entrance and parked near the exit.

Maria squealed once they stopped at the main entrance
Marcus chuckled a little at her sound as he turned off the engine. “What do you want to do first? There's rides, games, lots of junk food.”

"You lead I'll follow I don't know where to start.. " she said giggling
Marc nodded and carefully got off the bike, but held it steady so she could get off. “How about a ride? You ever been on a roller coaster?” he suggested.

She pulled the helmet off and slid off the bike "um no I haven't but I guess I could try it. "
“Alright.” he nodded, gently taking her hand. “Let's get our tickets. And let me know if there's anything you want to do, or eat, while we're here.” he smiled brightly.

She smiled back talking his hand "okay… Where do we get tickets? "
“Right over there.” he said, gesturing to the little ticket booth near the entrance. “Come on. There's no line yet.”

"Oh okay" she said walking with Marcus over to the ticket booth
Marcus smiled at her and lead her over to the ticket booth, reaching it before a line could actually form. “Two day passes please.” he said as he pulled out his wallet.
The operator nodded with a polite smile before quoting the price.

"Do I need to pay my half I brought some money she" said pulling a coin purse from her pocket
“No. It's on me.” Marcus smiled. “It’s your first time at a fair. I want you to enjoy it.”

"Oh come on you paid at the restaurant. "
“Yeah. But that was… our first meeting.” he told her. “It wouldn't have been right to make you pay. And I don't mind paying for you today either.” he smiled.

"Fine but your not always paying, and I mean it. " she put the purse back I her pocket and crossed her arms
“Not always.” he nodded with a soft chuckle as he paid for their passes.
“Here are your passes. Enjoy your time.” the operator tried not to smirk at the couple, finding their antics adorable.

She smiled softly "Definitely not, thank you im sure we will. " she smiled at the operator taking Marcus's hand "where to first? "
Marcus smiled as she took his hand and accepted the passes before leading her past the gate. “Wherever you want to go. I know I suggested the roller coaster, but we don't have to if it’ll make you uncomfortable.”

"Well I've never exactly been on one so I'm not sure if I'll like it.. " she said with a shy smile as they walked inside the gates
“I sorta figured.” he nodded, chuckling a little. “But that's the roller coaster right over there.” he said pointing at the tall, winding rails and the fast-paced “train” that carried the passengers.

Maria saw it and chuckled a bit her eyes wide "um that's um that's it? "
“Yeah. That's a roller coaster.” he nodded, rubbing the back of his neck as he gauged her reaction. “It's not the tallest one I've been on, but like I said we don't have to get on if you don't want to.”

"Well it wouldn't kill me to try it would it?" She said with a smile
“No. It wouldn't.” he smiled back softly. “Besides, I’ll be right next to you the whole time. So if you get scared, or anything, you can hold on to me.” he offered, blushing a little.
