(memo: dan ends up going to the fair with some friends, helping someone whilst there..)
/yall i start these with dan so often i swear whoops\

As dan woke up bright and early, he sighed, unsure of what he might do that following day. Considering the fact that it is a Saturday, he could do whatever he might want to do. Thinking through things, he stretched and got up out of bed, walking towards the kitchen to get some cereal. Getting a bowl out, his phone buzzed quietly in his pocket, so dan reached to get it as it buzzed once more. It was none other then his friend, Louise. It read, 'Connor, me, Daniel and joey are all going to the fair today, wanna join??' He quickly thought it through. Does he want to go? "I don't have any other plans." He mumbled to himself, quickly texting back a 'sure', continuing to make his cereal.

After he finished his food, he changed into some clothes, a small beanie and a scarf. Since it was September, it was getting slightly colder. He obviously didn't need the scarf, but decided he'd wear it because it went with the beanie. Dan swiftly trotted outside the home, closing and locking his door, beginning to play on his phone as he waited for Louise to show up. "Dan!" He heard a voice say, causing him to look up, only to be met with impact. Louise was hugging him, smiling widely. "Oh, I'm so glad you agreed to this! It'll be fun!" She insists, pulling his hand and leading him towards the rest of the group. "Ready?" Connor asked, them all nodding, except dan who was still confused and in the moment. So they began to head off towards the fair. Luckily, they all lived near by the area, so they didn't have to take a taxi or drive there. Laughter and conversations began to buzz around the five of them as they thought up new things to talk about, always resolving to new topics and interests. Dan would smile and nod along, although he didn't know what they were talking about most of the time. As they all appeared at the fair entrance, they all smiled, practically jumping with joy; excluding dan. "Okay guys, want to go do random rides first?" Connor asked, getting them to nod. They all ended up going into several rides, getting drinks, laughing and cracking jokes along the way. Nobody seemed to have noticed dan, slightly slumped behind the rest of them, walking and listening to them as he thought some more. Yes, it is a fun trip for them all to come out here a hang out, since they don't do that often, but this far into the day, he already wishes he would've stayed home. Some of the rides made his head hurt, others hurt his stomach. Of course, all his friends would be laughing and cheering as they got off the rides, but dan would hug his stomach in fear of throwing up at any moment. It was fun at first, but the more this friends seemed to have forgotten about him, the more he wanted to evaporate away from society and hide in bed until the end of time. Louise invited him here, yet she seemed to have acted like he wasn't even with their friend-group. He didn't enjoy this.

Hours later, and it was seven. The sky turned into a darker blue then before, the moon out and shinning already as if it owned the place. Dan laughed quietly to himself, thinking of a story which included stars and moons owning places they didn't. The fair closed at eleven, yet he would've preferred if it closed now. This wasn't fun. To dan, at least. The rest of his friends were having a blast. Laughing, dancing, cracking jokes once more, and all of the above in other things. He felt so alone in this place, as if he were by himself. He hated that feeling. Hated the feeling of being alone. Yes, his friends were here, but he felt as though he were alone. As he looks around, he sees a common thing with everyone at this fair; they all are with someone. Everyone has some sort of group or gang they're hanging out with. People are laughing, some doing inappropriate things to one other as well, others seem to be having a genuinely fun time. Now, if you were to look at dans friends, you would see this; two boyfriends who have their arms wrapped around each other, but are still laughing, a girl talking along the way and awing over the world, and another boy, who was shorter then the rest, probably saying something a bit poetic, then ending it with a subtle laugh and has to cover his mouth with his hand. Then there was dan; walking behind the group of friends, slightly slumped over, looking as if he wants death, sadly looking down at the ground. "I need to say something to get myself out of this situation." He mumbled to himself, looking up slightly, tapping Louise on the shoulder. She turned around a bit shocked, then remembered he was here, too. "Im gunna go ride the feris wheel." Dan muttered, nodding his head towards it. "Uh, okay, enjoy!" She said happily, turning back around to talk with Connor and the other two. Dan sighed and rolled his eyes, walking towards the wheel.
