Hey Wayne (Damian Wayne Fanfiction)

8. Manditory 'fun'

Eden walked up to a rickety table that sat in the entrance to the carnival. She watched as Titans and Damian were given tickets and walked through. Eden looked at the man at the table, he was lanky and had an incredible moustache that Eden couldn't help but admire. Eden gave the man a small closed mouth smile and the man smiled back, his moustache looked like it was being stretched as his lips curled upwards, giving Eden a smile in return. The man handed Eden the ticket and she muttered a quiet 'thank you' and an appreciative nod of the head. Eden walked out of the line and joined the others who were standing just a couple of meters away. Eden walked over, her instincts told her to walk over to Damian like she would have done a week ago, but she ignored it and stood in between Garfield and Jaime.

"Hey," Eden said, leaning over and tapping Jaime on the arm. Jaime looked down at the short girl standing next to him. Eden pointed towards the man handing out tickets. "He has an awesome mo," she said in awe, leaning backwards after she had said it. Jaime looked behind him and saw the man Eden was pointing to. He laughed lightly and smiled at Eden.

"This is an opportunity for us to become more familiar with each other," Starfire said before turning and walking away.

"How much more familiar can we get," Jamie said, moving to follow Starfire. "We've already seen Garfield lick himself.

"As a cat?" Eden asked hopefully, following Jaime.

"I wish," Raven said from behind Eden. The group followed Starfire, until Garfield spotted the line to the ferris wheel, he grabbed Jamie and Eden's arms and pulled them over to the end of the line. The rest of the group followed and joined the three in the line. The line quickly dissipated leaving Jaime and Garfield at the front of the line. There was a man that was letting people through, he looked really bored, like he really wanted to be somewhere else. The man pushed Jaime and Garfield into a carriage, hardly even looking at the boys which was good, because if he had looked underneath Garfield's hood and cap, he would have seen enough green to put him of vegetables for a lifetime. But luckily it was dark and the carnival lights were giving everyone an odd glow. The bored man closed Jaime and Garfield's carriage and sent them off quickly. The man walked back over to the line and pushed the next to forward and unfortunately for Eden, Damian was standing behind her meaning that they were being ushered into the carriage. Eden tried to protest, but the man really couldn't care less, he just closed the carriage, sealing Eden and Damian inside. The ferris wheel started to move up and Eden slumped down in her seat. Eden kept her eyes trained infront of her, looking at the carnival below. Eden felt Damian's eyes on the side of face and she turned, her eyes briefly meeting Damian's before they both turned away, not wanting to meet the others eyes. The ferris wheel kept spinning and Eden seriously considered jumping out of it, just so she wouldn't have to talk to Damian. Neither of them spoke throughout the entire ride and when the ride was finally of Eden almost leapt out of the carriage, she quickly scanned the area, her eyes finding the figures of Garfield and Jaime in a matter of seconds.

Eden briskly walked over to the two boys, who were over at a carnival game. Eden stood next to Jaime watching as Garfield walked over to the game. Eden looked at the game, it had little pictures of ducks, lined up in a row. There was a pellet gun attached to a small pole a fair way away. The aim was to knock down as many ducks as you could. Eden thought that it looked easy enough, but one of the people shooting looked although they were having a hard time, as they kept missing. Garfield smirked and sat down on a stool that stood behind one of the guns. Eden scoffed and looked at Garfield who had a cocky smile on his face. Garfield closed one of his eyes and aimed at the duck in front of him. The pellet hit the duck and it went down. Eden heard the sound of a familiar voice not too far away, she turned to see Starfire, Raven and Damian walking up to them. Eden groaned inwardly, as she stuffed her hands inside the pockets of her jacket. Eden heard the 'ting' of the ducks, each time Garfield hit one. Eden zoned out, she really didn't care how about how many ducks Garfield knocked over. He mind was in deep thought. Idea's swimming in front of her eyes, it was the same thing she had been thinking about for a while now. Damian. To say that she was confused would be a big understatement. She didn't like dealing with emotions, they were messy and unpredictable. Eden's thoughts were only knocked out of her head when Garfield stood up, a triumphant look upon his face.
