Is it a lion or a tiger ?
Answer: You could write about two people meeting in a roller coaster next to each other after they were stuck on it for two hours and then after they were unstuck from the ride have them start becoming friends,and going on a date, etc and then they end up getting married and having a family you just need to add your own details :)
