Creepy Clowns and Fun Houses

Hi. Happy New Year people. Ok. Hi.

Riley hooks my arm and we begin walking toward the rides and games. She points over to different games and gushes over the prizes.

"Look! It's a unicorn!" she shrieks in my ear. I glare at her.

"Thanks for deafening me," I say sarcastically. "Anyway, if you want the prize, why don't you just play the game and win it? It's not as bad as other games of the same type, I mean, at least they give you three bean bags instead of one."

"Because Braycee. It's rigged. They all are. It's virtually impossible to win these games, especially if you can't throw for your life," Riley drones. She gives me one of those 'duh' stares, before turning away.

"Riley, wait." I turn to face the guy running the game. "How much?"

"For one person, two bucks. For two, I'll give it to you for three," he replies instantly. I hand him the three dollars, and he hands me six bean bags.

"Three for you and three for me. Sound good?" I ask, taking a sideways glance at Riley.

"You just wasted your money. Take all six, you have a better chance than me," she says, pushing her bean bags towards me.

"Okay, just tell me what prize you want when I win," I say jokingly. She rolls her eyes and begins to bite her lip, looking away. I take the first bean bag and aim at the three blocks in the middle. I take my arm back and lightly toss it. It knocks over two of the three blocks.

"See, it only knocks over two, the third one is glued on," Riley comments. I glare at her and pick up the second bean bag. I swing my arm back and aim lower, throwing the bean bag a little bit harder. The last block moves slightly backward.

"See? Almost there!" I boast. Riley raises her eyebrows, seeing the movement of the block. She shrugs and turns away again. Getting frustrated, I take the third bean bag and throw it as hard as I can, trying to aim at the block. The bean bag hits the block and knocks it clean off of the plate. I jump up and down and scream with delight. I turn to face a stunned Riley, clearly shocked.

"Congratulations, you knocked the three blocks off the plate. Pick your prize," the booth dude says. I scan the different prizes until my eyes landed on the unicorn that Riley had liked.

"I'll have that unicorn over there, in," I look at Riley who mouths pink at me, "pink." I wink at Riley as the guy gives me the unicorn. I walk over to an ecstatic Riley, and give her the unicorn. She pulls me into a huge bear hug and holds me so tight.

"Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!! This is an awesome unicorn!!!!! See, my first toy was a unicorn so, I'm kinda obsessed." Riley pulls me into another hug and beams. She hugs the unicorn and smiles.

"You're welcome. Now, what do you want to do?" I ask her. Her smile just gets bigger.

"Why don't we try a ride? Maybe the Sea Serpent?" Riley questions. I look at her and then the huge rollercoaster that had cars shaped like a giant snake. I watched as the cars left the boarding station and started to go backwards, positioning itself to be launched, and soon it was off, twisting and turning upside down, before stopping when it was about to go up, and suddenly the ride went backwards through the same way it had been before, and then it ended.

"You're on," I tell Riley before walking over to the ride entrance. Riley quickly follows behind me.

"Going on that ride?" I jump, startled by the voice. I turn to see Luke, smiling directly at me.
