"Okay! I'll play some games over there with Phoebe and you two ride whatever you're hearts content!" Gerald said being as bold as ever and grabbing Phoebes hand as he made his way leaving Helga and Arnold behind. Phoebe was blushing at the touch of Gerald's hand, not thinking what she was going to do being around Gerald all day. Ohhh... Oh no... Were going to be together the whole day and... and he's.. It's still a little hard to talk to him. She thought. Stopping in front of the line of different fair games, still holding Phoebe's hand, Gerald puts his other hand on his chin.

"Hmmmm now let's see." He said, looking at all the choices that he can play.

"Ummm... Gerald." Phoebe shyly said with a red tint on her cheeks. Gerald looked down at her only to notice that he has yet to let go of her hand. He quickly lets go and scratched the back of his head out of nervousness.

"Oh man! Uh. Sorry Phoebes... I was too caught up with getting those two off together that I forgot to let your hand go.." He said. Phoebe looked at him and gave a gentle smile. She turned to check out what games there were and she pointed to one she wanted to try.

"Lets try that out." She said pointing at a ring toss game. Gerald turned to check what game it was and looked at Phoebe with one eyebrow up.

"Are you challenging me Phoebe?" He said jokingly getting a laugh out of Phoebe.

"Oh no Gerald. I doubt I could win." She said as they made they're way. They pay for their rings and get ready to toss.

"Okay, let me give it a go first!" Gerald said confidently before he tossed it and missed miserably. He looked a little flustered and looked at Phoebe as she gave a small giggle. "Th-that was my first try! I still have two more chances!" he said tossing again and again until he no longer had rings to toss. "Gaahhh! This game is rigged man!" he said pointing at the man in charge of the booth. He gave Gerald a glare and so the boy regretted his outburst and turns to Phoebe.

"I'll try next." She said fixing her glasses as she held the ring up for a good moment, fully concentrated. Gerald wondered of she was fine.

"Ummm, Phoebe?" he asked. She then tossed every ring back to back and made every single one. Gerald was left with his mouth open. "You... You.. You made it Phoebe!" he said surprised from the sudden win he witnessed. Phoebe laughed as the man at the booth handed her a little white teddy bear with a blue sweater on it.

"Well, it took me a moment but I was able to get the right angle to throw it and hoping it would make it." Gerald just looked at her with a smirk.

"Dang Phoebes. Your pretty cool." He admitted, getting a blush from her. "Now I'm really going to have to bring my 'A' game because you're pretty challenging with these things." He laughed. Phoebe was blushing and looking away as they walked around a bit.

"I'm not all that great Gerald." She said quietly as she looked at Gerald and continued "You're much better than I am at many things." She exclaimed. Gerald was curious by what she meant.

"How so?" he hid a small blush as he looked at her in the eye's. Phoebe looked forward because the eye contact was making her a little nervous.

"Well, for example, your very popular, friendly, great at sports, a nice person, and you're a great friend to Arnold." Gerald was amazed at how much attention she has paid to him. It made him feel a bit more self conscious but somewhat happy from how much she knows about him. Whoa. She knows me pretty well... but she's so much of a better person than me. He thought HA! I wish I was as smart as her! He laughed at himself. He gently smiled.
