"Absolutely hun."

He smiles at her and stands up.

"With me in back you wouldn't be as cramped."

"Says you! I wasn't cramped at all"

Ele grinned as she stood up and put her hands on her lips,

"You're like, a foot taller than me! You're going to be so squiched back there!"

"But with my height, I will sit all the way to the back."

He smiles and makes his way up to the slide again with her.

"They have 3 other slides here that we should try later."

"Wait! You get to sit back? They why did they make me hang on?"

Ele looked shocked at the idea that the worker had made her hang on, but the look was quickly replaced with a smile as she grabbed the double tube and walked up the stairs in front of Tyler again,

"And then food?"

She asked, her stomach rumbling as if agreeing. Ele laughed and placed a hand over the flat surface of her stomach,

"Someone agrees!"

"The length of the seat back there is meant for somebody 5'6" or taller to sit back. If you are under 5'6" but taller than 5' they will make you hold on and yeah, let's go get something to eat."

He says with a smile.

Ele's mouth dropped open,

"I'm 5'5! That's tall enough to sit at the back! I don't need to hold on!"

Ele made her way up to the top of the slide and the worker helped her get settled into the front of the tube. The yawning cavern of the slide was slightly intimidating, and Ele felt her heart rate increase as she looked over her shoulder at Tyler,

"It's scarier up front!"

"Yeah, it really is. Cuz you can see into the darkness."

He laughs.

"Just hold onto the handles tight."

He climbs in and sits down, his ankles rest just over the divider. The operator sends them off once again on their way.

In the front, it felt like they were going much faster, and Ele gripped the handles of the tube tight as they cornered and zipped down towards the landing area. She couldn't help the surprised squeaks that came out of her every time they dipped or swung wide until they finally came out into the landing pool.

Ele threw her head back and laughed before she managed to get off the tube and wade towards the edge of the pool,

"Oh that is so fun up front!"

"Oh yeah it is."

He laughs.

"Just imagine, this place is not even the biggest indoor water park in the state, not even close."

He climbs out finally and walks out of the pool.

"Now food time."

He turns and heads to the locker room to get changed into some dry clothes and use the hand dryer to dry off his legs and stomach.

Ele went to the ladies' changing room and quickly dried off the best she could before putting on her regular clothes. When she was changed and had all of her things, she went out to find Tyler once more.

Walks out a few minutes later. He walks up to her and says.

"Alright, I am ready."

He walks out, wrist band still on. He walks out the front door and out to his car smirking.

"Lets see how many alarms will be set off this time."

He says to her as he opens her door. He walks around to his side and starts climbing inside. He gets buckled in and his door shut. He pushes on the brake and turns the car on with a roar. Several car alarms getting set off, he laughs and checks to see if she was ready before shifting into reverse. He backs out and takes off down the road, driving the quarter mile back to the casino itself. He drives around a long sweeping road under the covered entrance to the casino then turns and takes the first parking spot just outside the entryway that isn't handicapped. He turns it off and pulls the key from the ignition, before unbuckling.

"You will have a visual overload when you step in here."

Tyler says with a smile before stepping out. He walks up to the building with her and comes in the main entrance. Standing before them is a 30 foot tall entryway with beeping and bright flashing lights. He looks back at her and nods towards the left.

"Down this way."

He takes off to the left walking around the outside of the gaming floor, passed a bar and down the path, coming up to Siniikaung. He looks in and realizes they are still closed.

"Well now. That is new. Guess we will go to the Water Lily. Bit more expensive but they are amazing."

He continues walking, they come up to a corridor that takes them down to a dimly lit restaurant. The hostess walks up to them and says.

"Welcome to the Water Lily, do you have a Reservation?"

"No we don't."

She looks back into the restaurant and says.

"What is your name?"

"Tyler Richardson."

She writes his name down and nods.

"Give us a few minutes please. I need to see what tables are available. You are welcome to wait at the wine and champagne bar while we check."

"Sounds good, thank you."

He walks over to the bar with Ele.

"Place is worth the wait."

He pulls out a bar stool for her with a high back and comfortable seat on it. He sits down after and looks over at her.

Ele couldn't help but laugh as they set off the car alarms on their way out of the parking lot and back towards the main casino. Inside when they ended up at the Water Lily, Ele looked at Tyler uncertainly,

"Aren't we a little underdressed to come here?"

She asked, gesturing to herself and him. The restaurant was very nice, and Ele was still damp from their fun at the water park. Looking around, the place was fairly empty though, thanks to it being later in the morning with the lunch crowd not yet appearing.

"It is casual to semi formal here."

As they sit there the somelier walks over to them with a bottle of champagne.

"Would you care for a glass?"

He asks showing him a bottle of DOM PÉRIGNON ROSÉ.

"Sure, that sounds delicious."

He begins pouring the glasses.

"Need some ID."

Tyler hands him his ID, already having it in hand.

"Dom is not 'semi-formal'!"

Ele whispered as she pulled out her ID. She was not a stranger to day drinking, but even this early in the morning anything more than a mimosa seemed excessive. As the waiter checked and then handed them back their IDs and their glasses, Ele accepted the glass with a thanks and then raised the flute to Tyler,

"To water parks and champagne."

"Dom isn't but this bar is shared with Siniikaung."

He raises the glass to her with a smile, clinking their glasses together.

"To resorts and 3,000 horsepower rides."

He chuckles taking a sip.

The champagne was amazing, Ele had had the drink a couple times at brunches with business executives, or galas and fundraisers that she had attended with her company, but it was fun to drink it just because and in the morning.

The waiter came back and took their order for food, and when he came back with their orders, Ele felt relaxed and comfortable.

"So for the railway, are you wanting anything specific?"

"Nah, have free rein on what you want to do. It has been stuck in the same looping configuration for too long."

He smiles and raises his massive burger, taking a bite.

"Bacon mushroom swiss burger. Wanna try?"

Ele had chosen a club sandwich, which was absolutely delicious, and he stomach was feeling very happy. When Tyler offered a bite of the burger, Ele nodded and held out her own sandwich,

"Bite trade?"

(Funny thing is, the restaurant we are at in real life does have a club sandwich.)

He smiles and nods, swapping sandwiches. He takes a bite and chuckles.

"Wow that is good."

He slides the sandwich back over. He sips his Dom and looks around.

((Every restaurant has a club sandwich! Lol!))

Ele took a bite of the burger, and nodded in appreciation. The burger was delicious, and she set it back down to slide the plate back to Tyler.

"What's the plan after this?"

Ele asked, picking up her food again and taking another bite.
