I can't control it-a BFDI and inanimate insanity fan fiction

Chapter 15: Taco's tale

Le time skip a few years:
Me and Pickle are at the fair, waiting for the others to arrive. We have been waiting a while. I mean we did come in earlier to spend some time alone together, just as best friends though, but still we did plan on waiting for everyone yo get here before getting lunch, and we are both pretty hungry.
"Hey, my mum gave me extra money to spend on everyone else for candy and stuff like that, but if they don't show up soon I'm spending this money on you and me, but mainly me" he jokes. I laugh, and then blush because he wouldn't mind spending his money on me, before trying to hide that blush. I have admitted to myself ages ago that I have a huge crush on him, I mean hoe can I not, he's handsome, funny, kind, sweet, and really accepting. But just because I've admitted to myself that I love him, it doesn't mean I've told anyone else. Especially not him. Who knows what will happen if he finds out.
I then see Baseball, Nickel, Balloon and Suitcase walking up to us, and I wave at them. I can't believe it's been 2 years since the fair that we met Suitcase at and that redeemed Balloon. I can't believe my theory about him being mean only because of his brother was true.
"Hi, guys. Do you know if anyone else has arrived yet?" Pickle asks awkwardly. Although all of us have forgiven Balloon, some of us(Pickle, Nickel, OJ, Bomb and Paper mainly) still feel uncomfortable around him and don't yet 100% trust him, which is understandable, but it has been 2 years, and surely he would of done something by now, so I think it's time to move on. I'm just waiting for them to.
"WE ARE RIGHT BEHIND YOU!" Shouts Lightbulb, making both me and Pickle jump, as Fan laughs, Test Tube smiles, and Paintbrush face palms.
"You need to stop sneaking up on people like that! One day you'll give someone a heart attack. Plus it's immature and annoying" says Paintbrush.
"Aww, come on, Painty, you know you love it really."
He just rolls his eyes at her.
"Like, hi guys" says Dough behind me. He's standing with Bow, Apple and Marshmallow. I swear everyone except me and Pickle have come in as a 4.

Le time skip:
It's about 10 minutes until the fair closes. I look over to the Ferris wheel. I really want to ask Pickle to come on with me but I'm too shy. But I've worked out that in order for us to be at the top when the fireworks go off, we need to get on now(yes, I did the math. You have no clue how long I've wanted to ask him and tell him how I feel on three, but if I were to do it I would need the perfect moment). I might actually ask him. I gather up all of my courage and am about to ask him when I see Firey and Leafy get on the cart that we would need to get on for us to be at the top when the fireworks go off. I close my mouth without saying anything. The moment is gone. But then again, I suppose there is always next year.
"Hey, don't they set off the fireworks in like 5 minutes? Why don't we get front row seats" says Knife
"But according to my calculations the Ferris wheel cart that has the best view of them has just been taken. And plus even if it wasn't, there's only enough room for 2 people" says Test Tube. All of the nerds at school know about which cart is the perfect for the fireworks. All of them. Half of them found out for romantic reasons(like me) and the rest of them were bored and/or asked to work it out for someone else, but all of the nerds know.
"I'm not talking about the Ferris wheel, I'm talking about actual front row seats. Like, so close we are watching the guy light the fireworks." He replies
"Wait, you know where that happens?! How?! No one knows except employees!"says Fan
"I have my ways"
So we follow Knife, down a secret path that none of us have seen before, until we get to a big open field, with a man holding a lighter and stopwatch, standing in front of tons of fireworks.
As soon as a timer on the watch goes off he lights the fireworks, and they shoot up into the air.
They are so beautiful. Whilst watching them I don't notice my hand slowly reaching for Pickles, or him keeping hold of my hand
"AWESOME!" Lightbulb whisper-shouts.

Le time skip:
Today is my 12th birthday!!!!!(A/N wow, so many birthdays in 1 chapter XD) but today, I didn't want to do anything too big. I just want to spend the day with Pickle, which is exactly what I'm getting. Right now me and him are walking through Nature park, whilst I eat sherbet lemons(aka the greatest sweet of all time), and we are both just talking about random things. He then walks off the path and towards a bush.
"Where are you going?" I ask
"I found this really cool place that I want to show you" he answers.
I follow him through the bush and then look around in awe. I am standing in the most beautiful meadow full with lots of bright colourful flowers. There is also a cliff with a waterfall falling from it into a sparkling bright blue lake, and the sun reflects off the waterfall making a double rainbow. This place looks like no human has ever seen it before. He then goes into another bush and grabs an umbrella, before opening it up, drugging me underneath with him p, and guiding me through the waterfall, where a cave is on the other side. The cave is sparkling from both water that has come in through the waterfall, and also many crystals that are in the walls and floor. There are lots of things in here including a sofa, a mini fridge, a mini freezer, a rope with a tire attached to it hanging on the ceiling, and torches along the walls to light this place up(but those are probably only for night time because the light from the outside easily comes through the waterfall, making everything in here easy to see). There are also stairs at the back which I assume go to the top of the cliff since there seems to be no balcony or upper floor in here.
"THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!" I shout, before hearing it echo.
"I know right! I found this place a couple years before you first moved here. It's been my chill out place ever since. It's great when you want to be alone and let out any emotions. No one else knew about it. I never told anyone either. You are the only other person who has been here or even knows that this place exists. Happy birthday!" He replies.
My mouth just opened wide when I realised that his birthday present to me is being the only other person to know about this beautiful place
"Are you sure you don't mind me being here?!"
"It's about time I told someone about this place. Plus, it gets lonely here sometimes"
"But you said you like to come here when you want to be alone. What if I come here and I don't know that you want to be alone?"
"It's fine. If anyone were to invade my privacy or annoy me when I want to be alone I wouldn't mind it being you. Just don't tell anyone else about this place ok."
"Yeah, of corse I won't. I'm just so surprised you showed me this place for my birthday present."
"Well, that isn't your only present"
He then walks over to the sofa, and picks up a small box that I didn't even notice before. He gives it to me and I open it up. Inside is a beautiful golden heart shaped locket that says 'best friends'. I open it up and it has a picture of me and him at the fair. I gasp because it's so sweet of him and the locket is so beautiful
"You're the best!" I say as I hug him
"I know." He says jokingly.
