As the two noticed the setting sun,Bad also spotted the large wheel that cast a shadow on the festival grounds. He gasped as an idea came to his head and he stood up off of the bench they had been sitting on. 

"Come on, Skeppy! Let's go to that wheel thingy and watch the sunset!" Bad said with excitement as he pointed to the large ferris wheel.

"Uh- Okay" Skeppy responded, getting to his feet and barely having enough time to steady himself before being dragged towards the large wheel by his taller friend.

They walked up to the line to the wheel, after a few minutes , paying and getting onto the ride. The two walked into the pod, Skeppy shaking a bit as he sat down, Bad sitting on the other side. Anxiety shot through Skeppy as the wheel began to turn and they lifted off the ground. Skeppy visibly fidgeted and shook as he looked at the ground below become farther and farther away. Every so often, he looked over at Bad in a panic. He had no clue why he felt this way, but it started to become unbearable. 

"Hey.. Are you okay?" Bad asked, noticing the shaking from his friend as they approached the mid-way point for the height of the ride. 

Skeppy took a deep breath, "Yeah i-" Skeppy stopped himself and sighed, looking down. "No... for some reason this ride is making me really... scared. and shaky. I don't know why.. I'm sorry, I don't want to ruin this for you.." The shorter boy said with a frown.

"Aw, Skeppy. Its fine." Bad said, thinking for a second. "Here!" He spoke, getting up and going over to Skeppy's seat. Despite this giving Skeppy a mini heart attack, his anxiety was calmed when Bad sat next to him with a hug. 

Skeppy's breath hitched at the touch, but evened out after he took a deep breath and hugged the other back. "Thank you.." Skeppy said, his voice slightly raspy but calmer than before.

"It's no problem, want me to stay like this?" Bad asked, still hugging the other.

"No, it's fine. Can you still sit here though..?" Skeppy replied.

"Of course." Bad said, letting go of the other and readjusting himself on the seat. The taller boy's eyes basically formed stars as he stared out at the sky, approaching the top of the wheel.

Skeppy looked out as well, the height no longer seeming to bother him with his friend next to him. "Wow, that's beautiful." Skeppy said in amazement.

"Yeah..!" Bad replied, he stared out at the sunset for a moment before turning to Skeppy. "Thank you for coming with me." He said with a soft voice and a smile.

Skeppy peeked back at him before continuing to look at the sunset and speaking. "Thank you for inviting me, and comforting me." He replied.

"No.. Thank you!" Bad said, defensively.

"No, you." Skeppy said with a laugh. 


This went on till the two bursted out laughing, then that lasted until they had to leave the wheel and go sit at a bench. They sat there for a while before the air began to become colder and a certain place became very appealing. As the two walked over to this place, they had one thought...




This night was going to be great.
