Magical Bumper Cars
 
https://i.postimg.cc/pTWSxMS7/DAballoons2.gif

As you approach this end of the Alley, you will hear the noises well before you get in sight of a cleared circular space and a colorful sign reading 'Magical BUMPER Cars!'. But these are not your typical bumper cars, oh no. For one thing, these cars are floating about a foot off the ground, for they are powered by, of course, magic!

Get inside one, if you're feeling adventurous, and steer it as best you can at your fellow drivers (but watch out, for they'll be steering at you, too). How do you steer, you ask? Hopefully you've been paying attention in Muggle Studies class, because these cars, though magical, are steered with a good old-fashioned steering wheel. Turn left to go left, right to go right, and hold it steady in the center to go straight ahead. Turn the wheel all the way in either direction, and back you go! And there are the two pedals at the bottom of the car--the pedal on the right makes it go faster and the pedal on the left makes it stop.

And hold on to your hats if someone gets hit, because anything could happen--perhaps it will be a shower of colored sparks shooting over you (perfectly harmless, of course), or perhaps you will be hit by a bushel of feathers. You might find yourself under a magical shower of rain (which dries immediately, leaving the most elaborate hair style unharmed). Perhaps a garden of flowers will sprout around you from the bottom of your car. Whatever it is, it will be both harmless and temporary, so fear not, and start your engines! (And for anyone who gets a little too carried away, be aware that your car might just lose power on its own and sink gently to the floor for a little time out--so no rough stuff!)

_____

OOC: RP your character entering the bumper car and use the steering wheel to steer it. If you try to hit someone, please don't RP the result for them--let your target decide if they got hit and if so, what happened. And remember--play nice! This is all in good fun.

Aaaaanyone??? *EYES*
 
How often was it that V had an opportunity to hit people and not get in trouble for it? Not very often. Not that she was a super violent person or anything, but she definitely would relish the way it felt to just...RUN into someone. And no one could get hurt! It was great! At least...Victoria didn't THINK it would hurt people....these were safe? And protected by magic hopefully?

She waited for her turn to get into a car. They were all full, it seemed, and V wanted to patient...was STRIVING to be patient. But she also was trying to see if any of her friends were here. She knew Lisa and Serena and the others had wanted to come this week, but did they come today?! She hoped so! She strained her neck to seeeeeeee....any familiar faces???

This had to be the most immature thing in the entire festival.

It was precisely why Max was standing in line, waiting for his turn to get inside a car. He would be turning thirteen in a few months' time, and then he would certainly be too old for these rides. He figured that he should make the most out of the last pre-teen summer he had, by doing as many childish things as possible.

So he waited, his blank expression making him look uninterested even though he was quite excited. He liked flying, and since the cars were floating, he thought it would be more fun than normal bumper cars. Hey, they would all be human Bludgers trying to hit one another! Just as the thought crossed his mind and a small smirk breached his lips, he realised that he recognised the person standing in front of him. Max did the first thing any extreme introvert would do in these situations - shifting slightly so that he was facing away from his classmate, he pulled his hat lower over his eyes and hoped that he would not be spoken to.

She felt someone get in line behind her, and soon she looked over her shoulder, realized she couldn't really tell who it was, and turned to her side so she could CASUALLY try to get a peek at if he was a familiar face or not.

LIKE, WAS IT SERENA OR LISA????

V was disappointed to see it wasn't either of them, but instead a boy who was familiar. "You won't be able to see where you're going if you keep your hat like that, you know," she said with a flip of her hair behind her shoulder. His hopes of not being spoken to weren't going well, but Victoria had not, at least, recognized him yet.

For Maya & Evan and Jenn & Chellie <3
 
The whole celebration event in Diagon Alley was AMAZING. She had tried games and more! She was having a complete ball. Of course, it got even more exciting when she discovered what came next.

Lisa *G A S P E D!* when she saw the Bumper Cars ahead of the Nam siblings and then turned to look at them. "Guys! Guys! We HAVE to go try the Bumper Cars," she bounced from foot to foot in her bright sparkly pink converse. Yes, she had traded in her gumboots (which had unfortunately gotten chewed out by the family dog) and thus had upgraded to her new converse. The footwear had to be pink. It was a Lisa Nam trademark.

She may have been twelve (and taller - she was now a whopping 4'10) which inherently meant she had to be oh so much more mature (psh... NAH not even!) but the sight of Bumper Cars made her go bananas. Maturity was thrown at the window. Lisa wanted to get to the front of the line. She impatiently tugged at one of her sibling's hands again. "Let's go!! Before the queue gets too long!" she cried as she waved her sibling's hand as if she were doing the wave with her whole body. She had yet to notice two friends already up in the queue already (V and Max) but once she realized it was them, she'd become even MORE excited.

Then again... perhaps she shouldn't have downed a whole bag of sweets before arriving at the celebration?

For Ern
 
This celebration event at Diagon Alley looked pretty awesome and he was glad he'd asked Phoebe to go with him. This seemed like something they'd both really enjoy and he'd had a busy summer doing lots of fun things already. Which was exactly the way it should be the summer before seventh year. And it happened to be the way it was when you had two girlfriends - which wasn't exactly an official term, but it was the way Morgan saw it. He also thought it was very important that he divide his time equally and give each girl his undivided attention when he was with one of them. So, it was a busy but really fun summer. And the DA celebration fit right smack in the middle of it all.

"Oh, hey! Bumper cars! Want to go for a drive?" Morgan turned to Phoebe with a grin, his hand in hers tugging her towards the ride. He could hear the exciting sounds coming from it before they even got there so of course it got his attention. But once they were in front of it, it looked even better. He leaned against the railing for a moment, watching as people already in it bumped into each other. Floating cars and magical explosions, what could be better?

"Same car or should we each get our own?" he asked Phoebe. Morgan could see a good reason for either, so he'd let her decide.

The Diagon Alley event was really cool. Evan had seen some people from school he probably would not have run into otherwise, and even met a few others. The food was also really good, and he found he was unable to stop himself from continually going back to the Food Stands in order to get a refill on his Fizzing Lemonade. Which he was getting low on, so he'd probably steal away to fill up the cup attached to his neck via lanyard after the next attraction.

Which... based on the loud noises from his youngest sister, she had now found what that attraction was going to be. Bumper cars? His body almost hurt now just thinking about it. And staring at people already enjoying the attraction, this one - like most magic events - had a twist on it. He nearly wanted to groan and bow out of the idea, but as per his usual he was powerless to say no to a sibling. Especially when Lisa was this excited. "Okay. Let's do the bumper cards. You in Maya?" He turned his attention to her.

He didn't have much time to wait for her reply though, before Lisa was TUGGING on his arm and waving it around. Luckily, he'd learned long ago the best protection for his body was to be a limp noodle for moments such as this. So there was no resistance from him. Though he could only imagine how silly they looked to onlookers, as he had also hit a growth spurt from end of term and beginning of summer and now sat at 5'6, with his tiny sister looking like a madman beside him. This was normal to him though. There wasn't even a flinch. "Okay, okay. We'll go." And because he didn't want to lose Maya either, he reached back and attempted to grab her hand as well so that both were pulled along by the Tiny Tornado Nam.

"It doesn't look that bad yet though."

Phoebe had been keeping herself super busy this summer, but she always had time for Morgan. She'd move whole blocks of activities around for him. Cancel plans and everything. She tucked in close to Morgan's side and peered at the floating cars flying around and careening off each other. It looked dangerous and exciting, which was the very definition of an adventure.

"I think we should try that, yes," Phoebe had her eye on a zipply looking red car, but she'd let Morgan choose, if it mattered all that much to him. "And much as I'd like to take you out with my car, I think we should share. Get to bicker about asking for directions, I'll tell you that you're going too fast, and you'll tell me I'm hitting the brake too hard. I've been reading up on Muggle cars." She kissed his jaw before releasing him.

"I'm picking the car, though!"

... and he was being spoken to. Max considered ignoring her, but remembered what his ma told him about having to socialise watch out for suspicious people - hooded clothes, evasive answers, etc. And he thought about how he would look like to a stranger if he kept his hat low and refused to respond. He did NOT want to look suspicious! He was a perfectly normal person who could even be nice if he tried! So the twelve-year-old lifted his hat slightly again, so that he was now looking at the Slytherin.

According to his algorithm, two possible scenarios could follow: 1) she recognises him, or 2) she does not. Although the latter would yield a higher probability of them not talking and him feeling at ease as a result, he was not sure if he preferred that option. After all, they did attend the same school for an entire year. His dislike of being in the spotlight did not mean that he really wanted to be invisible. Max decided to take a chance and - surprise! - start small talk. "Oh ... hi. You go to Hogwarts, right?"

"It doesn't look that bad yet though."


Maya would've preferred to stay in today - thanks to their parents' credit card and the internet, a rather large box of books was expected to be delivered today. She had been looking forward to watching the mailman drop the parcel off... then bring it inside... and then open it and get lost in them.

But when Lisa said she wanted to go to the Diagon Alley event, how was she supposed to say no? Once she got there, her eyes were as wide as saucers. Even though she had been at Hogwarts the last two years, seeing this stuff was new to her. Maya made sure she stayed close to her siblings so no one would get lost. With how crowded it was, she would not be surprised if they lost Lisa, though Evan had grown quite a bit so she was sure she would be able to find him.

When Maya heard the excited gasp come from the youngest Nam, she immediately focused her attention and saw the bumper cars. "Um... sure?" she replied to Evan with a slight shrug of her shoulders. She had a feeling if she said no, that wasn't an acceptable answer. And at least it wasn't her arm practically being ripped out of its socket by Lisa. She held onto Evan's hand, making sure she didn't get left behind. "Person who gets bumped the most buys ice cream afterwards," she added, a small smirk crossing her face.

With a better view of the bumper cars, she wondered what exactly made them magical - other than them hovering slightly above the ground. "Hey Lees, do you need help getting into one?"

Awesome! Morgan figured Phoebe would be very receptive to the idea of magical bumper cars, and so he was rather pleased when she agreed. He chuckled at the thought of the sort of vicious competition she described, but he was cool with sharing too. "Too fast? No such thing," he grinned in jest. "My parents have a real Muggle car, you know." So he knew about those things too. "Maybe one day I'll take you for a ride in it." Of course, he had to get his license first. Or a motorcycle. He really wanted one of those.

"Okay, lead the way!" Morgan was happy to allow Phoebe to pick the car. They were all cool to him. "Wait, who's driving?" Or were they taking turns?

Ah, he DID have eyes. That was good to know. And she was glad he had eyes, because otherwise he would be really bad at bumper cars unless he had, like SUPER senses or something else that would aid him. She supposed magic could aid, too, but surely he couldn't use magic during the summer because he was HER age. Unless using magic in the Alley was allowed? WAS IT? V would have to ask her dad. She was sure she had seen kids her age do magic here before... *EYES EMOJI*

Ummm. "Yeah, I do. Now that I can see your FACE I think I know who you are." She nodded, all sure and whatnot. "Matt. Your name is totally Matt." V smirked smugly as she wiggled her eyebrows at him.

Anna! and anyone who wants to crash :)
 
Looking extra baby-faced young today (because he had remembered to shave) Kalen had suggested he and Anna go check out the Diagon Alley celebration. It was summer. He had decided to take the summer semester off so he and Anna could spend more time together since she wasn't as busy with Quidditch and he wasn't busy being a giant chicken. In fact, it had been his idea to check out the bumper cars. But that was before he had heard the noises. With each step closer, Kalen wondered what he had gotten himself into. In fact, the last few steps were Anna tugging him along. Clearly she was excited, Kalen thought and why wouldn't' she be? Bumper cars were competitive, even if there was no prize for knocking people around.

"Are you sure this is safe?" he asked, looking around. Merlin's underpants, they were the oldest people here weren't they? These kids were going to eat them alive. "You know I'm rubbish as flying things." And he had a small phobia of heights, not that he would admit it. "Maybe we should go check out the food instead." Yes food! Anna loved her foods.

"A real car? And here I'm showing off pretending to know how maps and steering wheels work. I think... that you should get your license, and we should plan a post-graduation road trip. Kale and Cece and... who else? It'll be a blast." They could just pick some crazy series of destinations and eat terrible food in the middle of the night and see the world.

Maybe that was too bold to ask?

Phoebe pointed out the red zippy car she'd spotted earlier, and she dropped Morgan's hand to climb inside. "We can fight over the wheel, MoMac. That'll be even more death-defying, won't it? I'm swerving to take out those kids, and you're trying to mow down old people, and we just run into a wall!"

With a better view of the bumper cars, she wondered what exactly made them magical - other than them hovering slightly above the ground. "Hey Lees, do you need help getting into one?"

Rule Number 1 of hanging with the Youngest Nam: Never ever ever say no. Lisa had taught Noah this lesson from an early age causing the eldest Nam to be wrapped around his little sister's tiny pinky. Lisa had known it from a young age that her eldest brother was very compliant. It was his personality - sweet, kind Noah who didn't want to cause trouble or bend the rules too much. Unfortunately her brother did not come with them today (he had to work - EW) buuuuuut she still had Maya and Evan who were with her. Maya, like Noah, was much easier to convince of things; however, Evan was the strongest at resisting her ways in reality - she just didn't know how to read her brother's deadpan face. He just gave her a deadpan expression and Lisa had yet to figure out just how EXACTLY to get past that.

Mark her words. She'd figure it out! Or so she swore to it on Dumbledore's polka dot stockings... er.. Dumbledore didn't have polka dot stockings.

Tiny Tornado Nam finally gave up on wiggling Evan's arm spastically when ice cream was mentioned. She kind of just stopped and her eyes grew as wide as saucers at the proposal. Hehe. Excellent. "I'm in! Ice cream it is. Deal!" she beamed and waited for their turn to get into the bumper car arena.

She was ever so slightly offended at the offer to help her get into a bumper car but once she eyed the cars one more time, she looked to Maya and nodded thrice. She meekly whispered. "Yes, please but don't TELL anyone." Especially any of her friends. She didn't want to appear lame. She was just tiny and sometimes being small was a struggle.

"What coloured Bumper Car do you want?"

Maybe that was too bold to ask?

Phoebe pointed out the red zippy car she'd spotted earlier, and she dropped Morgan's hand to climb inside. "We can fight over the wheel, MoMac. That'll be even more death-defying, won't it? I'm swerving to take out those kids, and you're trying to mow down old people, and we just run into a wall!"
"Yeah, that'd be awesome!" Morgan nodded his agreement, already thinking about post-graduation road trips and parties. "A whole year will be plenty of time to get my license... or!" Hear him out. "A motorcycle!" That's where his heart really lay. Though even he knew that wouldn't be feasible for all their friends to go on a road trip. "Or maybe we can get one of those party busses and invite all our friends." That sounded even cooler.

Morgan followed Phoebe into the red car - best choice, by the way - and casual slung an arm over her shoulders as he fit himself in next to her. "Sounds good to me... we take out everyone, right? And if we hit the wall... well.. it's just part of the fun." He was sure they'd survive.

And since the car began to hover above the ground almost immediately after they sat down, Morgan figured they could get started. "I think this one's the gas," he said, quite knowledgeable about cars at least in his own mind, and stepped hard on the accelerator, sending their car racing.

open post!
 
Now THIS was right up her alley.

Her Diagon Alley?

...Nah. That was pretty bad. Anyway.

MAGICAL BUMPER CARS. This was her jam.

With her mother off with her dumb boyfriend - major eyeroll that they were back together again - Sera was free to hop into an empty car. These things were already fun in the Muggle world, so add magic onto it? Imagine the chaos! The excitement!

Assuming they weren't charmed to be super boring and safe.

This fourteen-year-old was more than willing to test the limits.

Now...who to bump into first?

She supposed magic could aid, too, but surely he couldn't use magic during the summer because he was HER age. Unless using magic in the Alley was allowed? WAS IT? V would have to ask her dad. She was sure she had seen kids her age do magic here before... *EYES EMOJI*

Ummm. "Yeah, I do. Now that I can see your FACE I think I know who you are." She nodded, all sure and whatnot. "Matt. Your name is totally Matt." V smirked smugly as she wiggled her eyebrows at him.
Max was SO tempted to use magic over the holidays. He had read up on the law against underage magic and learned that he would not be punished for performing spells in the vicinity of adult witches and wizards, because the Ministry would not be able to determine who really did it. Diagon Alley was perfect, since it was always full of adults that he could blame if he was caught. Anyway, the point was that he did not need magic at the moment due to his hat no longer blocking his vision.

Sense of relief at being recognised was quickly replaced by confusion. Ummm. Why was she so sure that his name was Matt? Why was she smirking and wiggling her eyebrows? (Eyebrow wiggles were absolutely the most difficult gesture to interpret.) Wait, was she making fun of him for some reason? The black-haired boy shook his head once. "It's Max. Your name ... starts with a V." Or was that it? V? So many questions in this paragraph.

"Are you here alone?" he asked.

He had decided to take the summer semester off so he and Anna could spend more time together since she wasn't as busy with Quidditch and he wasn't busy being a giant chicken. In fact, it had been his idea to check out the bumper cars. But that was before he had heard the noises. With each step closer, Kalen wondered what he had gotten himself into. In fact, the last few steps were Anna tugging him along. Clearly she was excited, Kalen thought and why wouldn't' she be? Bumper cars were competitive, even if there was no prize for knocking people around.

"Are you sure this is safe?" he asked, looking around. Merlin's underpants, they were the oldest people here weren't they? These kids were going to eat them alive. "You know I'm rubbish as flying things." And he had a small phobia of heights, not that he would admit it. "Maybe we should go check out the food instead." Yes food! Anna loved her foods.
"You're cute." Anna said with an amused grin when they finally reached the bumper cars. "You think I'd let you fly one of those if I didn't think they were safe?" She added jokingly as they watched children drive the magical cars. Kalen had nothing to worry about! Aaand regarding his being bad at flying things. "It's just a foot off the ground, you'll be fiiiine!" She added, rubbing his back reassuringly even though she still had a smirky-grin on her face.

He was cute, did he know?

Food!? "Sound good, but nooooo, we'll do this first! Work our appetite, y'know??" She beamed, tugging him towards one of the cars and basically sitting him down and fastening his seat belt for him. "Be safe!" She winked and gave him a quick kiss before darting off to take her own bumper car.

No time to waste! Time for some crashing, woooooo!

Her first target? Why, Kalen, of course. Not only because he was there with her, but well, most of the other people there looked younger than them, Anna didn't want to scare them off or anything.

She'd be keeping an eye out to see if any of those kids acted Gryffindor-like so she knew she was okay to go and hit them too, teehee. But for now: the boyfriend!

"INCOMIIIIING!!!!!" Again, no time to waste!!

SPOILER!!: Matching shirts sounds about right. But would they stop there and would it be matching EVERYTHING?

Maya would've preferred to stay in today - thanks to their parents' credit card and the internet, a rather large box of books was expected to be delivered today. She had been looking forward to watching the mailman drop the parcel off... then bring it inside... and then open it and get lost in them.

But when Lisa said she wanted to go to the Diagon Alley event, how was she supposed to say no? Once she got there, her eyes were as wide as saucers. Even though she had been at Hogwarts the last two years, seeing this stuff was new to her. Maya made sure she stayed close to her siblings so no one would get lost. With how crowded it was, she would not be surprised if they lost Lisa, though Evan had grown quite a bit so she was sure she would be able to find him.

When Maya heard the excited gasp come from the youngest Nam, she immediately focused her attention and saw the bumper cars. "Um... sure?" she replied to Evan with a slight shrug of her shoulders. She had a feeling if she said no, that wasn't an acceptable answer. And at least it wasn't her arm practically being ripped out of its socket by Lisa. She held onto Evan's hand, making sure she didn't get left behind. "Person who gets bumped the most buys ice cream afterwards," she added, a small smirk crossing her face.

With a better view of the bumper cars, she wondered what exactly made them magical - other than them hovering slightly above the ground. "Hey Lees, do you need help getting into one?"

Rule Number 1 of hanging with the Youngest Nam: Never ever ever say no. Lisa had taught Noah this lesson from an early age causing the eldest Nam to be wrapped around his little sister's tiny pinky. Lisa had known it from a young age that her eldest brother was very compliant. It was his personality - sweet, kind Noah who didn't want to cause trouble or bend the rules too much. Unfortunately her brother did not come with them today (he had to work - EW) buuuuuut she still had Maya and Evan who were with her. Maya, like Noah, was much easier to convince of things; however, Evan was the strongest at resisting her ways in reality - she just didn't know how to read her brother's deadpan face. He just gave her a deadpan expression and Lisa had yet to figure out just how EXACTLY to get past that.

Mark her words. She'd figure it out! Or so she swore to it on Dumbledore's polka dot stockings... er.. Dumbledore didn't have polka dot stockings.

Tiny Tornado Nam finally gave up on wiggling Evan's arm spastically when ice cream was mentioned. She kind of just stopped and her eyes grew as wide as saucers at the proposal. Hehe. Excellent. "I'm in! Ice cream it is. Deal!" she beamed and waited for their turn to get into the bumper car arena.

"Yes, please but don't TELL anyone." Especially any of her friends. She didn't want to appear lame. She was just tiny and sometimes being small was a struggle.

"What coloured Bumper Car do you want?"


Evan would have accepted the answer no, but it was no secret Lisa would not have. They didn't really exercise that word a lot with her anyways. It's not like she asked for a lot of super FAR FETCHED or dangerous things, so what did it really hurt to say yes to make her happy? Besides, most of the time they NEEDED to go do the things she wanted to do in order to get some of the Lisa energy out. It was truly for the sanity of all involved. Like bumper cars would probably tire her out at least a little. And then he could probably get both of them to agree to Food Stands for lemonade.

He squeezed her hand at the thank you for also agreeing, and considered her offer of bet. Ice cream had to be purchased by the winner? Well that was fine, Appa and Eomma had sent them with plenty. Did they need more sugar? Probably not. But this was like a fair, a fun event, so extra sugar was to be expected. Though they'd probably all be sick tomorrow. "Is this how many times Nam siblings can hit each other or are we including hits by other patrons as well?" Because there was an adult in there looking like she was out for blood.

His arm was released from it's imprisonment from the smallest of them, and Evan rotated his shoulder once just to loosen it back up. It wasn't long before it was their turn, and he moved aside so Maya could help Lisa while he looked at the bumper cars. "I don't mind on color. So you guys can choose first." He'd just climb into whatever was left over.

"A motorcycle only fits one person. Or maybe two if they like each other enough to share a seat." Not that she was complaining, but if Morgan wanted to take her on a motorcycle trip, then that was like... a decision. If he really did want a trip like that... "I'd like that. But a bus is fun too. Maybe it becomes a bit more party and a bit less travel, but sounds fun. We'll get Auggie to pay for it."

Phoebe crashed into Morgan when he stepped on the gas, and she scrabbled for something to hold onto. His arm, the wheel, both. It spun easily at her touch, much more sensitive than she would have expected, and the car veered sharply in her direction. "Watch out! The Red Hornet is going to stiiiiing all of you!" Under her breath, she added, "No, horrible name. Red Death. Red... Thunder. Dead Red Head."

When Evan squeezed her hand, she gave him a slight nod of her head with a smile. It was their duty to look after the youngest in the Nam clan. ? Even if it meant being dragged left and right through the entire festival. Maya wouldn't have it in her to say no to Lisa anyways. Her younger sister may have better puppy dog eyes than the family dog when he was looking for a treat. That and it wouldn't exactly benefit Maya to say no to Lisa - it may result in them relentlessly playing tricks on each other until they called in even.

She was grateful to see that Lisa had decided to stop mauling their brother's arm. Though it had been quite a sight. She looked around the space, observing the others, all while pondering Evan's question. "1 point for hitting other patrons, 2 points for hitting each other," Maya decided. She had a feeling her siblings were going to be quite sneaky with this game... or maybe just Lisa.

"I want a blue one!" Maya exclaimed, almost running over to it. She waited, of course and looked at Lisa with a warm smile. "Hey Lees, why don't you pick first?" And then quietly she whispered back, "C'mon let's get you in one before anyone sees."

For Lia!
 
Ooh... wicked magical bumpers cars! If they were anything like the muggle ones this was going to be fun. Tadhg was learning muggle things due to reading and tsking muggle studies at Hogwarts which did him a lot of good. Okay... most Purebloods would argue that they didn't need fo learn muggle ways, but he rather that he did cause who knew there could be some weird thing that happened to where they're all magic leas or so. Okay... he was watching too many virus zombie movies lately, but who knew wifh all the crazy stuff that been happening. Although he didn't remember much about last term it wasn't bad,


Waiting in line for his turn he looked around fof his Bubbles and his beautiful blue eyed girlfriend in the crowd that was walking around. Biting his lip he ran his hand through his hair sighing in defeat. He hasn't seen her since she visited in Ireland and he basically been there all summer almost. He missed her like crazy along with his other friends. Moving along in the line he smiled as he gotten closer to the front of the line.


He was ready to have some fun and get sprayed with whatever it was that was going to come out when he got bumped into. Seeing all the different stuff that sprayed or came out he laughed watching. It just made him more excited to get on the ride and experience it himself. He seen that you could ride with someone else, he frowned thinking about riding with Lia and then again by themselves if she wanted to but she wasn't here.

"Bumper Cars! SWEET" Freddie exclaimed.

This was already becoming the best summer ever as he raced ahead of his family to jump into one of the cars. He just had to start it up and get revving right? A grin remained on his face as he stepped on the pedal and began turning the wheel to pull out.

Hey, was that some of his classmates? He squinted ahead. Looks like the fun was just beginning.

So far Dahlia couldn't complain much about her summer. She was nearly all of the things on her list and sticking to her scheduling book fairly well. Even her training was going alright, some parts of it a little better than others but all in all it wasn't too bad. Lots of time was being spent with all of her family and she was spending time with her friends as well.

The only thing on her list that wasn't really accounted for was.. lots of time with Tadhg. To no fault of their own. He was away in Ireland and though she had gone there to join him for a bit, it wasn't the same. When you got to see someone all day, everyday, not seeing them for a few weeks was waaaaaaay too long to be apart.

Lia spoke to him everyday though and that helped a little. Plus he was coming back in a few days. Sighing quietly to herself, she squinted a little in the early afternoon sunlight. Was she seeing things? Tilting her head slightly she continued to walk towards the line that lead to the Magical Bumper Cars.

Was that? No, no, it couldn't be.. Lia shook her head a little and blinked her eyes. He would've told her if he was coming home earlier. Right? But.. she knew that messy dirty blonde hair anywhere and the height was too perfect. Not to mention those gorgeous sapphire blue eyes that she couldn't look away from when he looked her way.

"Tadhg!" she called out to him, already heading straight for him.

So far Tadhg had a pretth good summer, he did a lot of things on his list thar he wanted to do, which he was happy about that. Although he felt a bit odd not seeing Lia almost every other day or so, but he did talk to her every day but it wasn't the same as seeing her. Although he was happy to see her, so he'll take what he could get. He had a great time in Ireland and missed it terribly it was his hometown, his roots and where he came from but nothing beats being where Lia was.

Watching the people bump into each other and laugh he laughed and smiled as flowers came out of ones bottom of their bumper car. He couldn't wait to drive and get bumped into himself, the experience have to he more fun then just watching it. Every step he gotten closer the more excited he became, he was ready to have some fun and get bumped into a bumpes into others. Although he wasn't aggressive in these things, sometimes it was unavoidable and people did do it for fun. Okay... he was competitive, but he knew his limits when it comes to things and this was one of themm. He didn't want to get thrown off or out the bumper cars, but he wasn't that bad he didn't think.


Hearing a familiar voice calling his name, his ocean sapphire blue eyes looked through the crowd and smiled. "Dahlia! Bubbles!" He was so glad to see her face to face, he missed her so much. "I missed you so much, I know we talked to each other every day but it wasn't the same." Hugging her tightly he let her go after a few minutes. [B]" I'm almost up on the bumper cars you wanna join me?"[//b] He knew that she probably waa going to, but he wasn't sure if she just got done eating or not.

How had food not worked? Kalen wondered as Anna shoved him into a bumper car. Yes, that smirk on her face while she fastened his seat belt wasn’t helping matters. He knew that look. That look didn’t mean anything good. Still, he grudgingly guessed he trusted Anna. She would know if this really wasn’t safe right? Heck, most parents wouldn’t let their kids on here if wasn’t safe right?

He was still trying to decide on the danger level, as well as trying to figure out how to work the dark car when Anna came barreling towards him. ”Holy Harry Potter!” he braced for impact…

And then he sat there for a moment utterly surprised that he wasn’t wracked with whiplash. There must have been a better cushioning charm on these things then he thought. Alright Anna…he thought. Game on –

Just as soon as he figured out how to operate this thing. Common Kalen, you’re not an idiot. You can do this… He started pushing a peddle with his foot. Nothing happened. He pushed them both. Nothing happen. Then he pushed the other one and his car shot off. ”Ahhhh!” He turned the wheel and promptly ran his car into the –

The moment he had wrapped his arms around her in a hug, everything else around them had been forgotten. Nothing else mattered. Dahlia had flung her own arms tightly around his waist and there she clung to him silently for several moments. "I missed you too," she whispered, tilting her head back so she could peer up at him without letting him go. Sorry NOT sorry but she wasn't ready to let him go yet.

Not even when he asked about her joining him on the bumper cars did she let him go. "Uh-huh." She nodded her head, staring up at him with bright sparkling blue eyes. Why would she turn do a chance to spend time with him when he was here?! "Tad? When did you get back?"

The moment she was back in his arms, he felt like he was home where he belonged. As she clinged onto him he let a laugh he knew that she was going to be this way, it didn't bother him in the least though. As a matter of fact he thought it was cute when she was like this, he missed hed like crazy. Looking down at her he smiled and kissed her cheek. Almost all summer without her by his side was killer, he waa glad to be back home and wirh her.


He knew that she wasn't going to turn down the chance of spending time with him when it been awhile since they saw each other. "Good we can ride together, it'll be fun, I been seeing things coming out the bottom of the cars when they're bumped into like flowers and stuff it looks wicked!" Looking at her as he heard her question he smirked. [B]"I came back yesterday, I heard about the event going on here and wanted to surprise you."

With her head leaning on his shoulder a bit the feel of his laughter caused her to start to giggle too. "What's so funny?" she asked innocently as if she didn't already know what he was laughing about. The fingers of her left hand were loosely tangled in the bottom of his shirt. She had missed being at his side.

Lia loosened her grip on Tadhg a little more so that she could finally look over towards the bumpers cars. "We're going to sit together, right? Or did you want to ride alone?" Wouldn't mind either way but would rather sit with him. "That does sound like a lot of fun." She smiled up at him before looking confused. "Yesterday? That long ago?" Isn't angry or anything just.. surprised he didn't tell her sooner. "I missed you lots. Are you glad to be home?"

Maybe it becomes a bit more party and a bit less travel, but sounds fun. We'll get Auggie to pay for it."

Phoebe crashed into Morgan when he stepped on the gas, and she scrabbled for something to hold onto. His arm, the wheel, both. It spun easily at her touch, much more sensitive than she would have expected, and the car veered sharply in her direction. "Watch out! The Red Hornet is going to stiiiiing all of you!" Under her breath, she added, "No, horrible name. Red Death. Red... Thunder. Dead Red Head."
"I'm pretty sure it fits two," Morgan replied as he thought about it. He was certain he'd seen two people riding motorcycles before. "There's a sort of back seat and the person has to sit behind the driver with their arms around their waist." That was the only place to hold on, which seemed cozy and cool at the same time. "I'm going to get a motorcycle one day, but a party bus is a better idea for all of us anyway." They all had a big friend group and if they were going to go on a road trip party, that made the most sense. But he was still determined to get that motorcycle at some point. And yeah, Auggie was rich, wasn't he? Morgan was agreeable that he could foot the bill. It would probably be nothing for him.

Yesssss! Morgan loved the speed of the car, even if they didn't have much control of it yet and they were being jostled around together. He whooped loudly as Phoebe steered them towards some unsuspecting car and he kept his foot firm on the accelerator. He kind of liked Red Hornet, but he glanced at Phoebe as she considered different names. "How about Red Menace? The Red Menace is going to rub you all out!" He warned everyone in the near vicinity, though he was loud enough that everyone there probably heard him. Yeah, he still liked Red Hornet better.

"I missed you by my side, without you by it I feel so alone and empty." Most majority of this summer he left that way, he was glad she was by his side once again. Taking his hand he slipped it through his and squeezed it lightly before smiling.


Chuckling he shook his head and poked her cheek. "Togerher of course, I just gotten you back, I'm not letting you go anytime soon." Leading them up closer, he seen that they were the third people in line now. "Almost our turn, this is going to be so much fun!" Seeing her confused and looking a bit sad he hugged her. " I'm sorry Bubbles, but I wanted to surprise you here or at home, I'm sorry I didn't tell you." He nodded. "More then happy, I loved Ireland but nothing beats being home and close to you, Lia you are my home."

"If it fits two, then we should definitely go for a nice long ride. Maybe not an extended trip with a lot of people, but it sounds romantic," Phoebe gave him a nudge with his elbow and a little grin. Sitting on the back of a bike and holding onto Morgan... that sounded pretty fun. It almost sounded more fun than a party bus, because as much as she loved her friends, getting time with Morgan wasn't easy.

"RED MENACE," Phoebe shrieked as they hit a wall, and a POOF of bubbles exploded out from under their car, leaving them in a sudsy cocoon for a moment before the bubbles dispersed. She cackled in delight and gave up the wheel to Morgan to steer. She bumped over his foot and stamped on the gas, trusting the other car would get out of the way.

*pretends to quote again* DISNEY MATCHING FAM LETS GOO!
 
Evan’s question about the Bumper Cars did cause Lisa to raise her eyebrows curiously. Points for hitting Nam siblings or patrons? She hoped for both because she had her eye on a couple of people that looked either pretty easy to get or make feel really bad for getting an ickle girl. Then she would strike :mwaha: Wasn’t it just fun to be adorable and tiny and innocent? Hehehe…. NOT!

Maya suggested something rather logical when it came for scoring. Lisa thought it was a decent way to approach it. 1 point for other patrons and 2 points for each other. “So it’s a true sibling competition, yeah?” she commented before turning back to scan the crowd for unwilling victims and weakest links. Oh no… she wasn’t plotting at all. Nope. Yep. Nothing to see here.

Lisa scanned her options before settling (rather quickly and obviously) on the light pink one. She pointed it to Maya and hurried over there. “Alright. Ready,” she spoke to her older sibling and quickly glanced around to see who was near them. She was praying that none of her friends saw Maya help her in. “I wish I was taller. I wish I was taller. Is there a spell to make me taller?”

Once Maya had helped her in, she was ready to go.

As always seeing Tadhg smile, only made her smile all the more. "Sorry.." her smile turned into a more bashful one. "I don't mean to be but.. I guess I really did get used to being with you everyday and now.. well a couple of weeks feel more like months." Was she being weird by saying that? Too overly clingy? While she did love spending time with him, she also didn't want him to feel like they had to spend every single moment together either. They did need some time apart too.

She giggled at having her cheeked poked at, turning her head and pretending like she was going to nip at his finger. Not that she would. "Great! You can control the car if you want to." She had every intention of remaining at his side for the day. Feeling his arms around her once more, she leaning fully into his hug for a few moments until he let her again. This time she took hold of his hand interlocking their fingers and hugging his arms with her other arm, kinda hiding her face in their arms. His words had brought a warmth to her cheeks and a loss of words. What exactly was she supposed to say to that? Her hold on his arm tightened and she gave his fingers a gentle squeeze. Actions spoke louder than words anyway, right?

Tadhg didn't know his smile was contagious when it came to her, all he knew that he was happy to see her. "Why are you apologizing for? I don't mind it in the least Bubbles. He homestly didn't he missed her hugs and her warm smile as well how her eyes sparkled happily whenever she was happy or excited about something. Chuckling lightly he nodded. "I know what you mean, it felt like months to me as well, long boring months." He knes it was only a few weeks but felt longer to him as well. He didn't think she was clingy by any means, he knew how she felt by how she waa acting towards him, besides actions speak louder then words they say.


Shaking his head laughing he shook his head at her, he knew that she wasn't going to bite his finger, but it was still funny none the less. "Sure I can do that!" Hs wasn't going to let her out of his sight now that he gotten her back, nope not anytime soon. Letting her go he seen that they were about to be up to ride the bumper cars, he was excited. Looking down at her he smiled at her and kissed her cheek once again. "We're about to be up, are you ready for this?" He asked leading them towards the bumper cars. "Which color should we get?" He asked her.

Morgan laughed lightly. It did sound romantic, a bike built for two and the open road. "Sure," he winked at Phoebe when she gave him an elbow nudge. "As soon as I get my motorcycle and my license." Which would be... maybe next summer or the summer after. One day.

Bubbles!! Morgan laughed as their collision resulted in an explosion of suds and he blew them out of his face. "Red Menace is on the move! Hide yo' kids, hide yo' wives!" He warned the other drivers as he swerved away from the wall and directly into the path of oncoming traffic. And they apparently were too fast for the other car... an explosion of colorful sparkles burst from both cars as they bumped them. Sweet!

Phoebe shrieked in delight as they struck another car and their bubble bath was replaced by a shower of sparks. It was sort of more fun to crash the car than to not, wasn't it? Hard to believe that was true in a real car, but maybe she was missing the point of Muggle driving. "Red Menace is a good car, aren't you, bud?" She gave the car dashboard a pat pat pat.

"Now that we have a someday future trip planned, we'll have to hammer out the details for the friend trip. Or maybe we shouldn't do that without said friends?" Phoebe rested a hand on the wheel and considered spinning it again. There was another car over to the left, and they looked a little too comfortable. "Is this how Muggle cars work?"

Nam Fam!
 
One point for the other patrons and 2 for each other? That certainly sounded logical to him. "Do we lose a point too if we are hit by other patrons?" He was fine if not, but figured was still worth the ask to make sure ALL of their bases were covered on how this was going to work.

He stood back and watched his sisters as they claimed their cars, and Maya helped Lisa into one. He wasn't 100% if Maya would have been alright getting her in, but they both did fine and now looked just about ready to go. So he figured it was his turn.

Evan turned to find another available car, settling on a green one and hoisting himself in and getting as comfortable as possible. He supposed they were off, so he started moving his bumper car and decided to take the defensive first.

And by that, he meant by running away from his sister's and hopefully avoiding other patrons in the process. He very much doubted this would be successful in the long run.

Diagon Alley was perfect, since it was always full of adults that he could blame if he was caught. Anyway, the point was that he did not need magic at the moment due to his hat no longer blocking his vision.

Sense of relief at being recognised was quickly replaced by confusion. Ummm. Why was she so sure that his name was Matt? Why was she smirking and wiggling her eyebrows? (Eyebrow wiggles were absolutely the most difficult gesture to interpret.) Wait, was she making fun of him for some reason? The black-haired boy shook his head once. "It's Max. Your name ... starts with a V." Or was that it? V? So many questions in this paragraph.

"Are you here alone?" he asked.
Oh. Max. "Close enough." She shruuuuuugged in an unbothered way and turned to look at the cars. They were letting people on, and V was EXCITED! "It does, actually. Brilliant job!" and she snapped her fingers in a pleased way at him. The line began to move forward at a snail's pace, so V turned around, but she made sure to speak over her shoulder at him. "I am! I was supposed to meet some friends, but I couldn't find them, so hereeeee I am! OOOH!" she quickly hopped into car when it was her turn, and she waved at Max. "Wanna TEAM UP and try to bump other people?!" she called out as she got all buckled and READY.

She had picked a pink car on purpose. As far as she was concerned, Max had remembered her name was V (well, started with a V, but did he know she WENT by just V????) and soooOOooo she was going to be his friend. He was LUCKY.

Maya pursed her lips as she thought about Evan's question. "No, I don't think it'd be fair if you ended up with negative points," she said, a glint in her brown eyes.

She helped Lisa into the bumper car swiftly, careful to not let other watch. [b]"Don't worry Lees, you'll be taller than me soon," Maya promised. After all, Lisa was getting around that age she would be getting a growth spurt, wasn't she? Maya knew she had grown quite a bit herself, now standing proudly at a whooping 5 feet. She added on afterwards, "Let's take Evan out first and then go at each other." She made sure the seatbelt on Lisa was tight enough before walking away and patting the back of the pink bumper car.

Maya walked towards the blue bumper car, and gave an innocent smile at Evan then saluted.

This was war.

She tightened her own seatbelt and jetted towards the center, hearing herself let out an excited giggle at the prospect of bumping into her siblings and everyone else around her.

Morgan was having a great time with their magical bumper car and he laughed again as they were showered with the colorful sparks. "Best car in the lot!" Everyone else should be shaking in their boots with them on the road. "You picked a good car."

"Uh, yeah, we should probably wait," he agreed, thinking it would probably be best as a joint decision. He was also the spontaneous sort, so real plans were best left up to others, even if he could contribute some ideas. He sometimes had good ones. "Or we could think up some suggestions then see what everyone thinks."

"You wanna steer again?" he offered to Phoebe as she put her hand on the wheel. He could handle the accelerator. "Pretty much!" he grinned. "Except for the crashing part. Those aren't as fun with a muggle car." Not that he'd ever been in a car accident, but he knew enough about cars to know that much.

♥ Evan & Maya
 
Lisa had turned her attention to Maya when Evan had asked his question. It was a wise clarifier but at this point Lisa just wanted to go.. She turned to him and smirked. “Strategy: pretend it’s golf? Lowest score wins. So the lower the negative score, the better.” Lisa, however, had no intentions of losing. She did giggle at Maya’s response to their elder brother. Hehe.

Soon the girls were by themselves as Maya assisted her into her car. Her eyebrows raised when Maya commented on her height and how soon enough Lisa would be tall. She huffed. “But not tall enough yet. I’m going to be the shortest Nam in all of Nam history!!!” she poured with arm flails. It was UNFAIR. Noah was TALL to begin with. Evan had grown to a whopping 5’6. And EVEN Maya had broken 5’0. Meanwhile little Lisa was still little at 4’10…. Well 4’8 and a half on a good day. “You’ll still love me if I’m short. You won’t disown me?” she asked the ridiculous question. She knew it was ridiculous but she was seeking affirmation from the one person who she constantly felt the need to get it from.

Maya did get a smirk when she mentioned to go for Evan first and Lisa nodded, showing that she understood the request. “Alrightie Aphrodite. Let’s go,” she pretended to flick her sunglasses from her head to the bridge of the nose and then gripped her car tightly.

Time to rumble.

Car at the ready. She jetted herself forward with a squeal, heading for a certain brother of hers. “Target locked.”

Chelliephone 08-24-2021 06:13 AM
Nam's! And a fleeing Ravenclaw if anyone wants to get hit by him xD
 
As Maya answered, he nodded his head. Negative points did seem unfair and like it might make the game discouraging. It took a minute before he realized she had said it would be unfair for him which was probably true. "Hey! Just for that, I'm sure karma will make it so that I win against both of you." He was not actually sure of that at all.

He continued to watch the girl's get settled before his defensive maneuvers had began. He also did catch sight of Maya's innocent smile and salute his direction, which while he had not been privy to their conversation about how they were teaming up against HIM, he knew that an innocent Maya spelled trouble. His eyes narrowed suspiciously.

It only ended up being fuel for how quickly he could run away evade his sisters.

But in order to make sure he was evading, he was looking BEHIND him and not paying much attention to whatever was in front of him. Was there another patron he was about to hit or who was headed towards him? Who knew!

Being clingy wasn't something she liked. Yet it was becoming a habit whenever they were together. It was as if they were stuck together with glue or sticky tape. "I don't know. Maybe it can be.. too much?" Not everyone like to be hugged on constantly. Even boyfriends might want their space, that went for siblings, other family members, friends and creatures too. Papa had reminded her of that many times over the last year or so. "Uh-huh, incredibly long boring months."

Nope, she wouldn't bite him. She was only being playfully. When he let her go, she grabbed his hand. There wasn't anyway she was letting them somehow end up be separated. No chances were going to be taken! Lia smiled at the kiss upon her cheek though. "Ummm, one that screams to us both?" In other words it had to be the perfect car for them. Only the best one would do. "Our favorite colors?"

Phoebe was delighted to take back the wheel, spinning wildly into oncoming traffic. They somehow managed to narrowly miss the cars she was aiming at, each one scooting out of the way juuuuuuuuuust seconds before their bumpers connected. Rude! Didn't anyone want to take one for the team?

"The Red Menace is coming for yooooooou," she spun the wheel again, aiming at the back of the blue car that had narrowly escaped. "If you offer suggestions to people, MoMac, then you have to consider their dumb opinions in the game plan. What if someone wants to drive through the countryside?"

And BOOM, they connected with the backside of the blue car. Were those... flower petals?

Just as soon as he figured out how to operate this thing. Common Kalen, you’re not an idiot. You can do this… He started pushing a peddle with his foot. Nothing happened. He pushed them both. Nothing happen. Then he pushed the other one and his car shot off. ”Ahhhh!” He turned the wheel and promptly ran his car into the –

The wall.

Just as soon as Freddie pulled out he felt something collide into him, "Woah!" His head knocked forward nearly hitting the wheel. He turned his head to see who hit him, it was an older guy, he didn't know how old but definitely not a student. He laughed, "I'm good, nothing broken" only to laugh a little harder at seeing him crash into the wall. "Are you okay Mister?" The almost thirteen-year-old quickly span the wheel driving forward out into the open. There was another car to be hit but who though?

Closing his eyes, Freddie put the pedal to the medal and drove straight until he bumped into someone or something.

More Nam-sense (haha you get it)
 
Seeing that it took a minute for Evan to register what she had said, gave the young girl a sense of pride. Her smirk remained firmly in its place as she gave a quick wink to her younger sister. "Karma has nothing on us," she joked. After all, she did not believe some cosmic force of the universe was going to make it so both Lisa and herself lost. The odds were just stacked against their elder brother. Maya was certain if Noah were here, he would be the one to lose though.

She smiled at Lisa, "I would never disown you," she promised, holding out her little pinky finger for the girl. "Even if you shrink so small, you fit through a keyhole in a door, I'll still love you."

She turned back to look behind her once she had reached the middle, just to see where everyone was. Maya was careful to avoid Lisa, knowing fully how maniacal the youngest Nam could be - no one was safe from the pink monster. Her brown eyes searched the space rapidly before her eyes locked onto a certain green car. The ends of her mouth curled into a smile and she pushed her foot down on the right petal - be careful, Evan, Maya was coming for you.

HAHA NAM-SENSE xD I love it
 
If Noah was here, she would have teamed up with him and gone after Evan and Maya... However, she did know that she would have done that a few years ago. But after her first year at Hogwarts, she felt closer to Maya and Evan.

She glanced up at Maya with eyes as wide as saucers when her sister told her that she would never disown her. Lisa took her pinkie and hugged her pinkie finger with Maya’s before giving her a big smile with sparkly eyes (she wasn’t tearing up- it was her RPER instead). “I’ll love you too. Always. Not just cause you’re my sister. I’d love you if you weren’t my sister and wish you were my sister but you’re my sister.”

Carefully secured and now driving, Lisa made sure to slow down as she headed into the curve. Had to be responsible... She was now TWELVE, ya know?! However.... Her eyes flicked to her siblings and she smirked as she slowly decided to ... no surprise... target poor Evan. She let out a soft cackle and sped to catch up with him.

Watch out, dearest brother.
