Raleigh hasn't had a lot of practice in the dating department over the last several years and he's more than a little rusty but he thinks there's no way that he could go wrong with a trip to Disneyland. It's the happiest place on earth, right? He thinks that he and Buffy can have a good time being kids and eventually come back to the hotel when they're sick of carnival rides and bad food.

So when he shows up at her door, he's dressed casually and there is absolutely no stopping the grin on his face; he thinks that possibly he's going to get smacked for being too cheerful but it's a risk he's definitely willing to take. He knocks quickly and calls out for her, eager to go.

"Hey, Buffy? Are you ready for the most exciting date this side of Godzilla wrangling?" He's nothing if not in possession of a fine sense of humor.

Well, if he's going to do that, she'll just let go of the wheel and let herself lean against him. There's a grin on her face and a blush in her cheeks as she does lean against him. The tea cup is still spinning fast, but it is losing a bit of speed as it's no longer being Buffy-powered.

"I like circles. Circles are good, though sitting down in a place that doesn't spin after this might also be good."

She's got her fingers cross that it doesn't get awkward either. Raleigh makes the butterflies in her belly go crazy so that she feels like she's tingling all over in the best of ways.

"Circles are perfect," Raleigh says, well aware that it's stupid and just not caring. Not when he has his arm around someone beautiful and fun like Buffy.

"But possibly not the best when followed up with food, am I right?"

[whattingawhat]

Yeah, Buffy doesn't care that it's stupid either. "Yeah, I think we ought to wait on that funnel cake."

The teacups eventually slow down, coming to a full stop. Buffy arches an eyebrow up at him. "Ready to attempt this walking thing?"

[rangerbecket]

"After you," he says gallantly, thinking that he's probably not going to be all that steady on his feet. This is probably the most disorienting thing he's done in forever and he's not entirely sure he isn't going to tip over into a bush somewhere.

Oh Buffy suspects there's more than gallantry to his offer, but it makes her smile. She gets up a bit gingerly, taking a careful step onto the base of the ride, then turning to look at Raleigh, offering her hand out to help him. She'll lean on him once he gets up and steady. Part of it's because she is a bit unsteady on her feet, but part of it is for the simple pleasure of leaning on him.

Raleigh slides his arms around her as he starts to walk off, keeping his steps careful so he doesn't go careening into anything. "So, I'm guessing food is out but you think a nice, slow walk is in order?"

[whattingawhat]

She leans against him while they walk, a smile on her face. She couldn't not smile even if she tried. "I think a nice slow walk is very much in order." She looks up at him, that smile still in place.

"Thank you. In case I forget to tell you later, this has been the best day."

[rangerbecket]

"I'm pretty sure it's the best day for me too," Raleigh says softly. It's been a long time since he's been free of anxiety and stress and worry and something about being somewhere so carefree with someone so beautiful and kind has taken a burden off his shoulders.

"Come on, I need to go win you some prizes or something and show my manly prowess."

[whattingawhat]

She's glad to be able to do something like that for him because she knows how important days like these are.

That gets a laugh as she winds her arm around his waist and leans into him. "I'll appropriately appreciate said manly prowess, and the prizes will earn honored places on my bed."
