The Mystery Circus

Chapter 6

"So, we go ask her now?" I questioned Adrian. We were sitting in my room, once again.

"Yeah. She is downstairs watching TV." Adrian nodded, confirming me.

"What if she says no?" I asked, worried.

"Don't worry, I'm sure that if she really wanted you to have that dream, and if she really wanted you to make that dream come true, she would let us join The Mystery Circus." Adrian reassured me.

"Okay, then. Let's go." I nodded, and stood up. Adrian stood up, and we started to walk through the hallway, and down the stairs to the living room.

"Hey mother...?" I questioned.

"Yes Angel?" She asked, pausing her show and turning to me.

"You know that circus that I've always dreamed of joining, and how it's in town?" I asked.

"Yes... Go on..." She stated.

"Well, Adrian and I went down yesterday to look at it, and we met the ringmaster of the circus. He said we had lots of talents, and that if we wanted, we could join the circus. So I was wondering if we could join...?" I asked.

"Hmm..." She pondered. "I do know how you have been wanting to join this circus your whole life... You have posters of The Mystery Circus all over your walls in your bedroom."

"Please! It would just be for around a month or two that we would be gone! Plus, you could even come and watch our act in the circus! I bet you could get in for free since your our mom...!" I pleaded with her.

She smiled at me. "Of course you can. You two can both join the circus. I'm sure it would be a fun experience for the both of you." she grinned.

I grinned, and my smile was so big that you think that it should touch my ears. Adrian was the same, really excited that we would be joining the circus that I've always dreamed of joining. This would be a really fun and exciting experience.

"When will we tell Joker that we're joining?" I asked, turning to Adrian.

"Well, I personally think we should go now. We'll tell him, have a small talk about it or something, and we'll come back here, pack our stuff, and leave tomorrow afternoon or something." Adrian announced happily.

"Me too." I cheered happily.

"Who is Joker?" my mother puzzled, with a confused look on her face. "Is he apart of the circus?" she questioned.

"Yeah, he is. He is the ringmaster of the circus that I was talking to you about earlier." I stated, still beaming with happiness.

"Okay. Then let's go meet him then, and talk to him." My mother smiled, and got up from her spot on the couch, still smiling. We all walked over to the front door, opened it, and stepped into the front porch. I pulled on my boots, tying them. I had the laces that go through holes, and at the top of the boot instead of a hole there was a silver thing that the rope wraps around, kind of like a girls figurine skates.

I finished tying them, and then moved onto my coat. I hastily pulled it on, and pulled on my black beanie over my head to keep my ears warm. I glanced up to see that Adrian was pulling his boots on, and my mother was busy pulling her coat on.

I walked over to the window, and grabbed my gloves that were hanging there. I picked them up, and tugged them on slowly.

"Ready to go?" I turned around to face my mother and Adrian.

"Ready." Adrian and my mother stated in unison.

I walked out the door, pausing outside the door, waiting for them to walk out.

When they did, I started walking through the snow, smiling. I bent down, and picked up a hand full of snow in my hand. I packed it into a ball, and threw it at a tree.

"Hey Adrian. Wanna make a snowman on the way to the circus?" I asked him, bending down to pick up another handful of snow.

"And exactly how would we do that...?" Adrian questioned me.

"Like this." I finished packing the small snowball, dropped it in the snow, and started rolling. Luckily the snow was really packy, so the snowball got bigger way easier and faster.

"I make the bottom, Adrian, you make the middle, and mother, you make the head. We roll the snowball along the way to the circus." I smiled, and started pushing the snowball through the snow.

Adrian and my mother laughed, and started pushing their snowball through the snow.

Eventually, my snowball was as tall as my waist, and it was a really big struggle to push it. Luckily, we reached the hill that led down to the circus.

After checking to make sure no one was at the bottom, I pushed the snowball off the top of the hill, and it started rolling towards the bottom of the hill, then slowed to a stop. Adrian and my mother dropped their snowball down the hill, the snowball stopping at the bottom of the hill.

We skidded down to the bottom of the hill, and quickly stacked the snowballs, and made a snowman. I grabbed two sticks off the ground, and stuck them in the middle snowball as arms.

"Hi! My name's Olaf! And I like warm hugs!" I mimicked.

Adrian chuckled, and I looked up to see Joker walking up to us.

"Hey! Angel and Adrian! How are you doing? Have you decided if you would join yet?" he asked excitedly.

"Yes, and we're joining!" I cheered.

"Wonderful! And is this lovely lady here your mother?" Joker asked, pointing to my mother.

"Yes, it is." I nodded.

"Mother, this is Joker, the ringmaster of the circus, Joker, this is my mother." I introduced them to each other.

Joker and my mother stared at each other for about a full minute smiling. Honestly, I feel like those two would be a perfect couple. I am totally shipping them, and I'm going to do anything in my childish power to make them husband and wife, because, who the heck would not want a guy like Joker as their father?
