“Ooh, ooh, ooh, look the clowns, can I have a go?” the girl said jumping off the boys back and running up to the stand, “yeah.. sure” he replied with a strange look. The man behind the counter opened up the little compartment that collected the balls after every game, “good luck” he smiled. She picked up her first ball and with no hesitation she dropped it in the clowns’ mouth, it rolled around once or twice before falling into the hole and traveling down the pipe to the main body of the clown. It bounced off the top of a divider then landed in number 4. She did this 5 more times with them landing in numbers; 3, 2, 6 twice and 4 again, ‘25’ the man behind the counter called out. Turning around and picking up 2 different prizes he turned back and asked which one she wanted. The prizes were out of a tiara or a blow up sword, just as she was about to pick a prize the boy jumped in “that one” he said pointing to the tiara and grabbing it out of the man’s hands. Turning to look at the boy, she gave him an unpleased look “why did you pick the tiara?” she asked sounding a bit annoyed “well my princess needed a tiara” the boy replied grinning, she gave him an evil glare “I told you I'm not a princess, I’m not going to wear that stupid tiara” she said crossing her arms like a spoilt 6 year old girl but grinning like she had just won the best toy in the world. The boy laughed, “well too bad you have to” he said attempting to put the tiara on the girls head, she stood there with the tiara on her head and the fringe in her face glaring at him, she sighed “I have an idea, how about you wear it” she suggested grabbing it off her head and placed it on his “now that’s better” she grinned with a giggle. The boy grabbed her hand and continued walking down through the side shows “so… I'm the princess now aye?’ he asked “yeah I guess you are’ she said proving her point that she wasn’t a princess.
