Alec and Xander both clapped for Ivy, cheering brightly as she and Daizi went round and round. "Yay for Ivy! Yay for Mama!" Alec called to them. "Go, Ba," Xander praised.

With his legs still hooked around the bar, Alec let go with both hands and threw both hands into the air, waving them back and forth. The wheel took its time slowing down and finally trundled to a stop. He flopped backward and grinned at the sky. "That was Awesome! And I am so dizzy now, but...

"Whee!" Alec cried, waving one arm in the air. At first, he was playing it up for Ivy's benefit. Then he was genuinely squealing and having fun as the round metal death trap spun faster and faster. He was happy not to be going at top speed, enjoying the ride and having a grand time.

Alec sat near the middle instead of the edge and looped his arm and one leg around the poles. "Ready!" he confirmed. He didn't expect Dark to go super fast since they were showing Ivy how it worked, but he still wanted to be prepared. Just in case.

"I want to go first so she can see what it's all about," Alec volunteered. "You can go slow and warm up with me."

Xander grinned at Dark. "I'll try not to, but I think Mama might have other ideas. Wanna go for a spin?" "I wanna go!" Alec cheered. He hesitated a moment. "Maybe someone should stay back with Mini, though..."

"Oooo, they have the good swings!" Alec said, eyeing the tall swings. Some of them were for little kids, but others were good for anyone who could fit on. He was pretty sure he could fit. "They also have one of those merry-go-round twirly things," Xander noted. "I thought those things were...

Alec cheered Xander and Ivy along, urging them faster and laughing as Ivy wobbled along excitedly. She was so cute when she ran! It took them no time at all to reach the playground, and Xander had to slow down to navigate.

The twins got to their feet, qnd Alec took over the stroller again. "Come on, Mini. Go that way!" Xander said, pointing toward the playground. "I'll race you."

"Play time sounds like more fun then discussing things that'll never happen," Alec grinned. "What are we playing, Mini?" Xander glanced around. "We're not really close to any of the playground stuff."

"I prefer venturing into public while appropriately clothed," Alec pointed out. Xander sighed. "You're ridiculous." "And proud of it!"

"Absolutely," Xander said, straight-faced. Alec gasped at Dark. "What? But you would make me sally forth to get dressed? That hardly seems fair! Working involves sallying, not dressing."

"Well, even if I develop an addiction, at least I'll still probably be living at home, which means you can intervene more easily," Xander pointed out. "We should both buy tickets!" Alec grinned. "When we turn 18. If I win, I'm going to buy Ba a carpentry shop! And then steal his current shop...

Alec chuckled and leaned into Dark briefly, a sort of hug without actually hugging. "Very true, Ba. Very true." "Hmm. Maybe I'll buy a lottery ticket on my 18th birthday. If I win the big one, I'll buy a horse and a pasture to put it in," Xander said.

"And casinos!" Xander added. "And more responsibility like footing your own insurance bills." "21 sounds dull when you don't go in for alcohol and casinos," Alec sighed.
