Author's Notes: Written for
roguecatwoman for her request of "Cass/Laura, excited" in my
mood challenge. OMG all eleven fics finished. :D
Laura smirked as the carnival barker stared in shock at the shattered milk bottles.
"How...they were supposed to be - I've seen huge guys fail to knock those over!"
"Stronger than I look." Laura grinned as she walked over, picked up a giant stuffed tiger from the wall, and handed it to Cass. The thing was nearly as big as either of them.
"You didn't have to do that." Cass stifled a laugh.
"Eh. It was rigged. He deserved it. Do you like your prize?"
"It's certainly...large." Cass smiled. "Thank you."
"This carnival is an interesting place." Laura looked around. "All the games are rigged, that ferris wheel has at least three obvious structural faults, and I'm pretty sure that corn dog is the one thing my healing factor can't handle."
"So...do you like it?"
"I love it. Thank you. I've never been to one of these places before. Even with the X-men, we were always running from one mission to another. I like being...me. Nothing I have to kill here. Except maybe the next carny who tries to cheat me."
Cass smiled and took another bite of her candy apple. As she swallowed, Laura moved in and passionately kissed her.
"Mmm..." She licked her lips. "Tastes like cinnamon."
"I can buy you one, if you want." Cass grinned.
"Maybe later. It tastes better like this."
Laura's eyes turned towards the fun house and she playfully tugged Cass towards it. Cass smiled as she let herself be pulled along. She loved introducing Laura to all the things she had missed until now, giving her the same chance she had been given. And it didn't hurt that she loved spending time with her. Tomorrow's agenda included a drive-in double feature, a giant tub of popcorn, and lots of snuggling. She couldn't wait.
