Sarah and I returned to the group where Amna ran towards me and hid behind my back. I was confused about what was going on, but then I saw Dan running towards us as well and it explained everything. Before Dan could come any closer, Sarah stepped forward and tripped him, making him fall face-first to the grass.
Daniel: Demon! Demon! Help me!
Sarah: How did you get out of the room?
Daniel: A cleaning lady let me out, now please let me go...
Sarah: No one would let a rabid animal free. Hey Sam, mind taking off his belt for me?
Samuel: Why...?
Sarah: Don't be scared, he always wears tight pants, the belt is just for show.
Samuel: All right...
Sarah placed her foot on Dan's back, pinning him on the ground and I approached him from the side and removed his belt while he squirmed around. I then handed the belt to Sarah, and she used it to tie Dan onto a tree.
Sarah: I'll have someone pick you up once we all leave.
Sarah ran back to Amna and me, and pulled us away from Dan, insisting that we go to the fair near the tree. Amna excitedly agreed and took the lead, pulling us now.
We entered the bus and took a six-minute drive to the fair. Upon arrival, Sarah spotted a gathering and wanted to know what was happening. Amna grabbed both our arms and pulled us towards the crowd. On a closer look, we found out that there was a capsule opening event. Sarah smiled and looked at me.
Sarah: This reminds me of your capsule opening. Did you have to faint a lot during that time?
Samuel: You know random me fainting was, so what was I supposed to do?
Amna: You were fainting before we met too?
Sarah: Yes, he did.
Amna: And you didn't check up with a doctor?
Samuel: No...
Amna: Mind lowering yourself down for me?
Samuel: (Crouches) Sure...
Amna: (Pulls Samuel's ears) From now on you must take the smarter options.
Samuel: Ouch... Okay! Okay! I will!
Amna let my ears go and pulled the two of us away saying that the capsule opening wasn't entertaining. We then walked towards the fair area, where three boys challenged us to a competition. I was about to deny their challenge, but Amna and Sarah agreed before I could say anything.
They first took us to a ring-tossing game. I managed to only get one out of three rings in while Amna and Sarah got nothing in. The kids, however, managed to get all the special-prized bottles... It was zero-to-one, and the girls weren't having it.
The next game was goldfish scooping. The girls went first and managed to catch more fish than the plastic bag could fit. This prompted the boys to back out for this game, making it one-to-one. The five were pumped to have a tiebreaker and made me choose a game.
The game I chose was dart throw as it was the only game I am good at. Father trained me to be better at dart throwing for over five years and I knew that I would win this with three bullseyes...
I failed to even hit one... Everyone pitied me and the boys decided to give us the win after that. I was badly embarrassed and once the boys left, Sarah started to laugh and patted me on the back.
