Gods, I'd missed fair food so much. I had a deep fried corn on the cob, and we had about three boxes of deep fried food infront of us. I was in love with the deep fried snickers wrapped in bacon, but so did Dalton, apparently, and I had to fight him for the last one. We ended up splitting it. Finally, we were all full, and it was time to take a look around. Since Kayla and I had been here before, we led the way. Of course, by that I mean I was on Dalton's back and Kayla next to us. We led them towards a large building which held my favorite thing ever. I was glad that they still hadn't finished, I loved to watch them work on it. We weaved our way through the crowd, and my face lit up when we saw it. "Wow." Was all Dalton had to say.
There was a huge sand sculpture in the middle of the room, people still working on it. This year, it was dedicated to the Trevor Project. It almost brought tears to my eyes. They had sculpted all of the children that had committed suicide this year because of bullying, the Trevor logo in the front. We all walked around, taking pictures of it for a while, before Kayla and I led them to the other side of the building, where my second favorite thing was. There, in a rotating cooler, was a butter sculpture. This year, it was the statue of Liberty. Of course, Will ran up to it to take as many pictures as he could. "I wanna eat this. Can I eat this?" We all laughed, and I rolled my eyes.
"No. You're not allowed to eat it, fatty!" He gave me a fake hurt look, and I stuck my tongue out at him before we continued on our tour. We decided to hit up a lot of the stalls and booths they had. I almost screamed when I saw a pair of sunglassed that had SWAG written on them. I had found a pair like them in Claire's almost a year ago, but didn't have enough to buy them. I wiggled off of Dalton's back and ran to them, picking them up to hug them. Kayla laughed and got herself a pair. To my surprise, Dalton grabbed a pair identical to mine. Before we knew it, all of us had them. Dalton, Nia, and I had purple. Kayla, Gabe, and Brennan had yellow. Dana and Channing had red. Cole had green, and Will had blue. I looked around for a bit, glad to be on my feet, even if it hurt. I stopped by a display of necklaces, and I smiled when I saw one of a dolphin. Dolphins and Penguins had always been my favorite animals. I flipped it over to look at the price and I winced. Too much, sadly. I sighed and rejoined the group. We all paid, put on our new sunglasses, and took a few pictures. We ended up splitting into groups to take pictures after. Tyler, Brennan, Channing, Nia, Dalton and I were all clustered together, making funny faces.
Of course, Dalton squished my face together, and out of habit, I said "exterminate." It was something Clover and I had always done, since we were Whovians. His eyes widened, and he hugged me. "I swear to God you are the best person, ever!" I giggled a bit as I looked back at the tent. I furrowed my brow. The necklace was gone. Well...Balls. I shrugged it off, actually able to walk to the other stalls with everyone. We bought a few more things. I got a new belt, Dalton got a top hat, and I got a few more bracelets. By the time we reached my favorite store ever, I checked my pockets. YES! I had enough!
"Hey...Will you guys wait here for a little bit?" Everyone nodded, and I grabbed Kayla and went into the shop. I knocked on the door of a trailer attached, and a familiar face greeted me. "Pinky!?" My eyes were wide.
"Charlie! Shit, girl! Come here!" I hobbled up the stairs and he wrapped me in a hug. Pinky had dated my best friend for a long time. We all lived together a few summers ago. But now he was married, with three kids, and not to my friend. It was better that way. They were just bad for each other. He looked at Kayla, giving me a questioning look.
"Oh! This is my friend, Kayla." He nodded his hello. "Are you doing them now?" I asked cryptically. He nodded, and I grinned. "I need two, boo. Each wrist. I have enough this time, I swear." Pinky just laughed and led the two of us into the trailer. Kayla finally realized what was going on.
