How about now?

Right then my phone goes off with a response from Ellie, saying that they're happy to head out whenever we want to. I let them know we got a late start, but we can be ready to go fairly soon. I also get the ok from Maddie to invite them to come hang here till we're ready, and she lets me know they'll be right over.

When they show up, we all have a seat at the counter between the kitchen and living room areas while Maddie finishes up her and my breakfast. I look over at Ellie, and let her know "By the way, if you're interested, I found a customization that makes it so you don't have to deal with your period, or worry about getting knocked up till you want to."

Ellie raises her eyebrows at me, "And you thought you needed to ask? While Ellie-chan appreciates the courtesy, that is just too convenient to pass up, especially if she can change her mind about it!" She definitely has a valid point there, so I go ahead any buy it for her as well, putting me to 32 gems for the day. Probably more than enough to have a lot of fun, but I think I can wait on that till we're there. I know Ellie at least will enjoy it more there.

When Maddie finishes, she and I both eat somewhat quickly, then excuse ourselves to our rooms to get dressed. I settle on some simple and comfortable clothes, just jeans and a t-shirt of Monokuma's face from Danganronpa. When I come out, I see Maddie settled on a simple blue sundress with a simple pattern on it. I don't remember seeing this dress on her before, but she definitely looks cute in it.

We all head out, talking about what we want to do while we're there, and I see Maddie eyeing me with a familiar look a couple times. What I'm a little surprised by, though, is when I see that same look from Ellie and Tess! I need to make sure to talk with Maddie soon, to make sure I know our boundaries, because all of this is super new territory for me.

We walk, because it's a nice day out. It takes us about a half hour to get there, but we're in no rush, as it's still morning, and it's going to be going on all day. When we get there, it's in that middling stage where there's quite a few people around, but not so much as to feel crowded. Before we walk in, we stop to talk about what we all want to do.

Maddie wastes no time, looking me square in the eye and saying "I heard they have a Tunnel of Love this year, you and I are definitely going on it," and winking at me.

Ellie chimes in with "Hey, Ellie-chan know you two are a thing, but we're all wanting to hang out. If you get alone time with him, it's only fair that we each do too!" Tess glances at me, and shyly agrees. I look at Maddie, and for a few seconds I can see green streaks flashing in and out of her hair, before she replies that that sounds fair. After a few more minutes of discussion, it's settled that at some point today, I will be riding the Tunnel of Love with Maddie, going through the Haunted House with Tess, and taking the Ferris Wheel with Ellie.
