Mackenzie tries conquering her fears

Determined not to let this opportunity go to waste, Mackenzie started running after Lana, "Hey, wait up!"

Lana turned back to see Mackenzie run towards her. Oh fuck! She figured Mackenzie was too scaredy-cat to do anything with roller coasters, and really wanted her to go to the haunted house to look for their stuff since she was too embarrassed to be seen by those people after their... "fling". But here she was, following her to the most menacing coaster of the park.

Mackenzie caught up with Lana, who she noticed was more hunched over and covering herself with her arms than 30 seconds ago.

"Facing your fears, huh?" Lana said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Well, I mean we're already naked in front of all these people," Mackenzie pointed out to Lana's chagrin, "so what's the harm in being more daring?"

Lana sighed as she continued leading the way to Khanda Ka. They eventually got to the line and Lana ran up to the kiosk.

"Hiiii," she explained to the staff member, "we lost a lot of personal items in the haunted house, could you maybe phone the people there to look for our stuff?"

"No problem at all, miss," the teenage boy looked Lana and Mackenzie up and down in the most obvious way possible while grabbing his walkie-talkie "hey, haunted house, I've received reports of lost items." Of course, his eyes never left the losers of those items, who reflexively tightened their arms around themselves at his gaze.

"10-4, can you describe the items and where they were last seen?"

The boy looked at Lana first, who described her clothes and purse in the kitchen. Once he was done with that, he turned to Mackenzie, who described her blue dress, heels, and purse in the dining room.

"Okay! Thanks for the heads up, I'm checking it out now. That seems like a lot of stuff, do you know who might have misplaced these items?"

"Oh, I very much do!" the boy's lecherousness continued, "They're right here with me at the Khanda Ka."

"Okay, well I'll let you know if I find anything, and can bring it to the Khanda Ka in about 10 to 20 minutes."

"10-4, thanks! Over." The boy discontinued the conversation and the naked duo breathed sighs of relief, of course not daring to loosen their arms anytime soon.

"Well, that's over," Lana seemed happy and was just about to ask the man for blankets when Mackenzie blurted out, "so how long's the line?"

Fuck! Lana only picked this coaster because she wanted Mackenzie to go away, she had no intention of actually riding it.

"For you fine ladies," the boy responded with the biggest faux charm he could, "no wait. Come with me," as he exited the stall and went into an employee stairway, beckoning the women on.

Lana and Mackenzie followed him, not appreciating the sharpness of the perforated metal stair treads on their bare feet but appreciating the relative privacy the secluded stairs gave them from the mass of people in line.

Eventually they got to the station and the boy led them to the front row. The people in the front row line were miffed, starting a tirade with "Hey, what's the-" before shutting up upon seeing Lana and Mackenzie. The boy insisted on sitting them down in their seats personally, doing their seatbelts and lowering their harnesses for them. Each girl got the heebie-jeebies when the back of the boy's hands found their way on their naked hips, but they were at least grateful for the tightness of their seatbelts and harnesses with the 150 mph they were about to be going.

As they were waiting for everyone behind them to sit down, Mackenzie started to realize what a bad idea this had been. She never liked roller coasters, and now she was riding on the scariest one in the whole half-continent. Starting to breathe heavily, she reflexively grabbed Lana's hand, and the Asian was kind enough to hold it lovingly and supportingly. As Mackenzie felt Lana's flesh on her own again, if only just a little bit, she felt a strange sense of relief as everyone was buckled and harnessed in and the ride began its countdown.
