Lyna held on to the big stuffed tiger while watching Blaze. She couldn't help a small smile when he missed. Since it was apparently her turn, she picked up the last dart, throwing it and missing again.

Blaze leaned over and kissed her temple after threw her dart and missed. "One last shot and we can go get something to drink." Straightening, Blaze took aim one last time and finally popped that purple balloon. He watched the confetti poor out of it when it burst, he couldn't help but laugh. "Oooh, it's the big prize..."

He watched the carny go behind the wall of balloons and pull out the biggest penguin he had ever seen. Blaze laughed as took the stuffed animal before turning towards Lyna. "At least it's not a glittery pink unicorn." He stood it next to Lyna - and truly the penguin was just about four inches smaller than her. He picked it up once again and took Lyna's hand. "Where would you like to head off to next?"

Lyna laughed at the size of the penguin. She was short, but it was still amazing that it was almost as tall as she was.

"Well, you said drinks..." She usually drank water, but it would not kill her to have something with sugar. "Maybe something like frozen lemonade?"

"Frozen lemonade sounds like a winner." Blaze adjusted the penguin under his arm, they started down the boardwalk. Maybe he would get some fries or something - he was in a munching mode.

"Are you having fun?" Blaze glanced over to and smiled.

Lyna nodded with a smile. "Yes, I am. Are you?"

Blaze nodded and grinned. "I am - very much so." They finally made it to the concession stand, Blaze looked over the short menu. It seemed they had a few different flavors of lemonade. "What flavor would you like?"

Lyna looked over the flavors of lemonade before answering softly. "Strawberry."

Blaze ordered up his and Lyna's drinks along with some fries. He handed over her drink, then spotted a free bench. "How about we sit for a few minutes?" He managed to grab up the penguin, lemonade and fries before smiling to Lyna.

Lyna smiled at him juggling all the items. She walked with him to the bench and sat down.

Blaze set the penguin down next to the bench and waited for Lyna to sit before himself sitting down. He placed the fries between them - just in case she wanted some - and sipped his drink.

"Anything special you want to do next?" Blaze smiled as he chewed on the end of his straw.

Lyna glanced around after his question, looking at all the things on the pier. "I can't think of anything. Is there anything you like to do?" She took a sip of her strawberry lemonade.

Blaze shook his head for a moment. "Just sitting here, chillin' for the moment works for me." Blaze went to reach for a fry when a seagull came out of nowhere and took the whole basket full in one fell swoop. "Hey! You fry thief!" He laughed a little and shrugged.

"Guess I didn't need them anyway." He took a sip of his drink and rested his free arm on the back of the bench - trying hard not to make it look like he just pulled "that guy move". He looked over to Lyna and smiled.

Lyna laughed at the bird flying away with the whole basket of fries. "It must have been hungry." She returned his smile when she noticed him smiling at her.

He couldn't help but laugh along, Lyna's laugh was kind of contagious. She seemed to be alright with his arm behind her, so he took it one step further and rested his hand on her shoulder. The ocean breeze was getting cooler and he wondered if Lyna was getting cold.

"Are you okay? Your not chilly are you?" Blaze rubbed her shoulder lightly as he asked the question.

"I'm alright." Lyna smiled at him asking. It was sweet. So were his gestures.

He only had a bit of his drink left, and well... the damn seagulls took his fries so he was ready to wander down the boards some more.

"You let me know when you are ready, and we'll head down towards the photo booth." Blaze had to smile at funny pictures that could abound at those booths.

Lyna wondered why the photo booth, but simply nodded. "We can go now."

Blaze stood up and held out his hand to Lyna. "Let's go then..." With his free hand, he picked up the large penguin and wondered if the stuffed animal would fit into the small booth with the both of them. He couldn't help but smile at the thought.

Lyna held onto the tiger with one arm while her other hand was held by Blaze. She was content to follow with him to the photo booth.

They wandered down the boards taking in the sites before coming to stop at the photo booth. Blaze pulled back the flimsy curtain and smiled. "Ladies first." He waited for Lyna to enter the booth before he slide in next to her - stuffed animals and all.

Lyna softly laughed at them cramped in the photo booth with the stuffed animals.

Blaze pulled the curtain shut and dropped the money in the machine. "Quick - make a funny face..." He pulled the penguin up between them and planted a kiss on the stuffed animals cheek. He had it planned out that the next kiss would be on Lyna's cheek.

Lyna softly laughed before making a cute face while visibly hugging the penguin.

Before he knew it, they had run through the strip of pictures. He moved the penguin a bit to look at Lyna. "Did you want to have more pictures taken or would you like to walk further down the boards?" He was okay with whatever she wanted to do.

Lyna considered before smiling at Blaze. "Let's walk a little more."
