A Dreamers Prayer

Stages and Fairs: Part Two

We all climb out of the van once Andy reaches the fair. “We need to get all of the greasy foods and tickets to ride all of the rides that could break any second!” CC says and runs off with Darin to buy as much fair food as they could get their hands on.

I laugh, “what do you say? Want to go fill up on fair food?” Andy asks me.

I look up, “only if you're game to go on all the rides and win me giant stuffed bears.” I smirk.

“Agreed!” He states in a proper tone.

We leave the rest of the gang to figure out what they were going to do while Andy, CC, Darin, and I search for the most fried thing there was here. We find a small food stand with fried bubbles of grease. That's all it was. They took a spoonful of grease from the burner they were using to cook burgers and dipped them in a batter, I have no idea how, and fried them. CC bought four of them and handed one to each of us.

“Well, here's to heart attacks at age 30.” I say plopping mine in my mouth.

The others do the same and they are all the same reaction. I immediately spit my out in a near by trash can finding no pleasure in that ball of grease. The boys seem to be okay keeping it in but they weren't too happy about it. Andy finishes his and wipes his tongue on a napkin. Darin and CC run toward another food stand with water and they chug it down needing to get the taste out of their mouth.

“I think it's fair to say that that was disgusting!” Andy says still wiping his tongue on the napkin.

“Agreed,” I say still squinting my nose not wanting to taste it anymore.

I grab Darin's water bottle and drink what was left of it. “Hey!” He yells when I down the rest.

I hand him an empty water bottle back. “Well I think fair food has had it's run.” I say.

“No!” CC and Darin shout in unison.

“Look at all these food options! We can't be done after just one bad fried grease turd!” CC says.

“Whatever you say, I'm done for the rest of my life.” I say.

“I have to agree with you there.” Andy says after a gasp from CC.

“Well fine! It will just be me and Darin!” CC huffs and walks off with an arm around Darin and Darin's arm around CC.

I laugh and turn to Andy, “some crazy ride?”

“Of course,” Andy smirks and we walk toward the nearest ride after buying a few tickets for them.

We get in line for a ride called 'The Devil's Grin' and wait for only 15 minutes for it. Andy takes the seat next to me and straps in. An attendant comes around to make sure everyone's belt is secure and then we take off. It was a semi fast ride with several loops and shockingly sharp turns that could give someone whip lash. After the ride Andy stumbles off and looks as if he is going to puke. I laugh hysterically at his face and help him sit on a bench.

“I just remembered why I don't like fair rides.” He says leaning on my shoulder when I sit next to him.

I laugh more and pat his back. “Just don't throw up on me.”

He makes a puking gesture toward my lap and I push him away from me. He laughs a leans against the back of the bench. We sit in silence for a few minutes, watching everyone pass by while he got less nauseated. We saw Ashley, Jake, Jinxx, Lilly, Jason, and Ben walk into the same ride we just exited and Andy made a light chuckle standing up.

“Jinxx hates rides like that.” He says pulling me off the bench with him.

“I'd love to see what he looks like when he gets off.” I laugh.

“He'll probably be spilling his guts over some poor person shoes.” Andy says walking off in the direction of all of the games. I follow him to a game that involved shooting cans off a pole. “Wanna try?” He asks.

“Why not,” I say picking up a gun that the attendant handed me after Andy payed.

Let's just say at the end of it Andy kicked my ass. He had gotten all of his cans down and I had barley gotten one down right at the very last second. “Winner!” The attendant yells handing Andy a giant blue stuffed pig.

Andy takes it, “you kind of suck at that game.” He laughs.

“Yeah, I just blame it on it being rigged.” I smirk.

“You, can't say that after I go back to the van with this thing!” Andy says holding up the pig in victory.

I giggle at his behavior and we walk to another game. This one involved shooting water at a target to make the line reach the top of the pole it was on. I win that one but I only got a small multicolored penguin. It is barley the size of my hand.

Andy laughed at it and I pushed him away. “Don't make fun of Mr. Rainbow!” I say in a little kid voice.

“Mr. Rainbow?” Andy raises an eyebrow.

“Yes, it is my penguin, I can name it what I want!” I huff walking to another game booth.

The rest of the day neither of us win anything else. Jake calls Andy to inform him that everyone else is ready to go. Andy says okay and hangs up. “Everyone is at the van, you can go I need to do something real fast.” Andy says running off.

I take a deep breath and walk out to the parking lot to find everyone standing beside the van. “Do you have the keys?” Ashley questions.

I toss him the keys and he hops in the driver seat, starts the car, and questions where Andy was. “He had to do something.”

“Probably getting some girls number.” Jinxx says as if it was normal behavior.

I couldn't help but frown and narrow my eyebrows. Ashley continued to talk about one girl he saw Andy eying an hour ago. I opened the side door to the van and got in. 'Just business partners' I kept telling myself as they went on about all the 'hot' girls they saw here. I buckle my seat belt and everyone else gets in after me. I see Andy walk to the passenger seat and get in. He turns back and smiles and me and I try to smile back. I don't know why what Ashley said got to me but it did. All I thought about the whole way home was what Andy really wanted to do. Was he really going back for some girls number? What did I care? It wasn't like I had a chance with him anyway. I lean my head against the head rest and look out the window to the moving traffic.

We finally get home. Ashley turns the van off and tosses me the keys. I shove them in my pocket and start to go inside without telling anyone good bye. I begin to unlock the front door when I hear someone walk up behind me. I feel a puff of soft fur like material invade my nose. I shake my head and turn around to see Andy holding a giant purple pig. I laugh as he hands it to me. I take it.

“I thought you should have something to remember that I'm better than you.” He says.

“Oh thanks, you know I thought it was just because you're a nice guy.” I smirk.

“Yeah, that too.” He smirks back.

He hugs me and whispers good night. “Good night, Andy.” I smile watching him walk to his car with his band mates already piled in.

I turn to the wide open front door and walk in. Everyone else walks in behind me and closes the front door. I go to my room and close the door. I pull the pig to my face and breath in. I find myself grinning from ear to ear. Being 'just business partners' was sure going to be hard when I liked him this much.
