"Okay so, it's around 3 right now, you reckon we go home and take a few hours to relax before going to the fair?" I asked around and basically everyone nodded their heads.
"Right then, let's go get ready!" I smiled and everyone started getting up and stretching from sitting down for to long. 

Everyone begun packing the small picnic away and slowly making their way towards the cars. 
"We should get there slightly early because we are such a large group of people that if we get there too late we won't be able to do anything together." Nick explained to everyone after we walked to the cars.

We all talked about it for about another 10 minutes until we packed into the crass and drove back to the house. We took everything inside, restocked everything that we would need to take and then just relaxed for a few hours until we wanted to go. 

At around 6, Scott yelled that we needed to leave, so I left my room in a rush and in the process, left my jumper on the bed. I ran down the stairs, past people and out the door so I could get a good seat in the car. 

A soon ass the car was unlocked, I sat in the front seat and quickly closed the door. I was annoyed that because I was the youngest I either had to sit in the very back or in the middle which is never fun for anybody. Scott laughed as he walked out seeing me sitting there smugly with the door locked.

Tommy walked outside and his jaw dropped when he saw me in the front seat. He went to complain but Scott just brushed him off saying we didn't have time.
"Maddy, there is a reason you sit in the middle!" Tommy complained from the middle seat. I turned around and saw him squashed between Toby and Jordan.

"Sorry Tom, but I am fucking sick of sitting in the middle. I get that I am the youngest-"
"And the smallest." Toby interrupted me and I just stared at him for a few seconds before looking back at Tommy.

"As I was saying. It gets so bloody annoying being squished between people. Especially when those people are you and Toby. Do you understand how fucking annoying it is to be in-between you two while you're yelling your lungs out at each other?" I asked and just looked at the two boys.

Jordan did not want to get involved in this argument so he just stayed facing the back and talking to Niki and Wilbur, which I did not blame him for. I did accidentally kick Wilbur out of his seat which I felt bad for, but I wanted to be in the front to gloat about it to everyone.  

"Besides why isn't Toby sitting in the middle? Tommy you're like fucking 6'2 and he's like 5'6. You wouldn't have this problem if you actually talked about it and maybe thought about it." I suggested but Tommy being Tommy, had to argue back.

"NO! If you weren't going to be in the middle of the bloody car then I would. Plus I wanted to be part of every conversation." He said and I hit my face internally. I don't know how everyone can put up with his persona for more than two hours because, he is just way to chaotic for me when he acts like this.

"Ok will you two stop your arguing? We are almost there and then you can all get out of the car and go do your own thing away from the other person." Scott interjected to make sure we stopped arguing to each other and also so we didn't hurt anybody's ears because we definitely would have. 

"What if I want to stick to her side for the night huh Scott?" Tommy asked and I just sank in my chair. I'm not sure how much more of this I can put up with. 
"Well then you do that just don't go yelling at each other the entire night. Also please take into account everybody else's feelings." Scott tried to reason with us.

I knew whether I liked it or not, I would end up spending the night with Tommy and possibly some other people but mainly Tommy. 
"Yeah, yeah whatever." He said as we all got out of the car and waited for all the others to get here.

Eventually everyone was here and so we could start heading in. Of course we all wanted to enter as one big group but that would draw a lot of attention towards us and so we ended up splitting up again. 

I was also only now realizing that I left my jumper at home. I guess that's what happens when you rush to be the first person out the door.
"Okay, everyone group off and do whatever you want. We meet back here at 10:00pm." 

Scott made sure that everyone knew what time we had to meet back at the front and with that our little groups were spread out through the fair. I was with Will, Niki, Tommy, Toby and Jordan. Well at the start at least.

All of us younger ones wanted to group together because we understood each other better than what the adults did. We all knew it was going to end up with Tommy and I getting competitive in one of the games, and Toby and Jordan would get bored waiting so they would do something else.

So instead we just split off at the start to make it easier. Scott ended up grouping around with us as well and so Jordan, Toby and Scott went one way while Tommy, Will, Niki and I went the opposite way. I wanted to do so many things. 

"This place is so cool." I explained in awe while we were walking around looking for something to do.
"Don't you have these things where you live Maddy?" Will asked me and we stopped walking.

"Well yeah we do but, they aren't as big this is. And there is definitely not this many rides or food stands. We have like one or two rides with a cute little pageant for the 9 year olds and a petting zoo." 

"Aww I can picture it now. Little 9 year old Maddy, in a big puffy dress and walking down a little runway." Tommy said and I almost burst out laughing.
"Yeah you're funny Tom. I never did that. I was more the kind of person to go on all the rides as much as I possibly could until I got sick. I still am that person."

"But enough of my sad childhood. What should we go on first?" I asked and had all three of them tell me the scariest rides I could go on, the least scary, and the ones where I need to go on it with a partner.

We were walking and discussing what to do first when I looked in front of me and saw one of the biggest Ferris wheels I think I've ever seen.
"I want to go on that one first." I point to it and everyone just laughs.

"Well okay. The first thing on the list is the giant Ferris wheel." Will said and we walked closer to it.
"At least this one isn't that fast. Besides it just spins around in a circle, how bad can it really be?" Tommy asked with a slightly nervous laugh.

"Is the TommyInnit scared of fair rides?" I ask with an amazed smile. 
"N, no, no, NO! I am not scared. I will prove it right now." He said and walked up to the man to get a ticket and get on the Ferris wheel by himself.

"I can't believe he didn't ask me to go on it with him. Disckhead." I point out and just stand next to Will waiting for Tommy to finish his ride. Yeah, this shouldn't be that bad but he seemed nervous just looking at it.
