Fighter laughed at Gwennie's overexuberance and pushed her hair back off of her face. As the ride came to a stop a few moments later, she jumped down off her horse and held out her hands to help Gwennie if she needed the help. "You like this ride,kiddo?"

"Yeah, I like it a lot" said Gwennie enthusiastically as Fighter helped her off of the horse. Afeter she was off she turned around to face the horses "Bye Steve, Bye Swifty!" she called before turning back around and looking up at Fighter "Whaddaya wanna do next?" she aked happily.

"I'm glad you liked it," Fighter smiled and held Gwennie's hand as they started to walk away from the carousel. "We could get some popcorn if you want or try another ride."

"Let's get popcorn first" said Gwennie "I'm hungry. Den we can go on da ferris wheel, it looks really neat" she continued, looking around "Where is da popcorn stand anyhow?"

Fighter grinned and pointed to a stand about twenty feet away, "Ovah there, I t'ink." She started walking in that direction, still holding Gwennie's hand. Truth be told, she may not have known Gwennie long but she was becoming attached to the kid.

Fighter laughed and dutifully followed behind Gwennie, when they got to the stand she held up a finger and rummaged in her pocket for some change. After paying for the popcorn she held it out to Gwennie and took a few off the top. "Taste delicious, huh?"

"yeah" agreed Gwennie, taking a handful of popcorn and unsuccessfully attempting to stuff it all into her mouth a few times before settling for a few pieces at a time. "Marvin wishes he could have some but food just goes right through 'im"

Fighter laughed and ate a few pieces of popcorn, "I'm sure it does, sweetie. Let's make our way over to the ferris wheel." Fighter smirked at Gwennie's antics with the popcorn and turned in the direction of the ferris wheel.

The popcorn there to distract her from her enthusiasm to get on the ride, Gwennie simply skipped along beside Fighter, occasionally grabbing a few pieces of popcorn and popping them into her mouth. When they finally reached the carosel Gwennie stopped and looked up at it with a combination of excitement and awe on her face. "Wow... It's so big" she marvelled in a hushed voice.

Fighter looked up with Gwennie, her eyes widening for just a split second before she snapped herself back. "Yeah, Gwennie, it is." She smiled and ate a couple more pieces, "Wanna finish the popcorn before we go on?" Fighter would never admit it to anyone but she'd always had a fear of heights, which is why she wouldn't go on the blasted thing when she was younger. She had been deathly afraid and had never had the opportunity to get over her fear. No time like the present to conquer that one. She wasn't going to chicken out with Gwennie there, especially since the kid had never done anything like this before.

"Shoah" replied Gwennie, sitting down on a nerby bench and beginning to kick her legs back and forth. "I betcha can see da whole world up dere" she said enthusiastically.

Fighter nodded, "I bet your right." She stuffed popcorn in her mouth to keep from saying anything more as she sat down and gazed at the ferris wheel. It was unlike anything she'd ever seen which is why it had scared her so much when she was younger. She kept telling herself there was nothing to be worried about, and thats when she saw it stop with people in the very top car. 'Deep breaths, Aisla, deep breaths. Don't let it get to you or you'll let the kid down.' She ate a few more pieces and then lit a cigarette to try to calm her nerves just a bit. Handing the popcorn bag to Gwennie she took a drag of her cigarette, "You can finish the popcorn and I'll smoke the rest of my cigarette, then we'll get on the ride." Fighter tried to push thoughts of the ride falling apart out of her mind, now as not the time to let it get to her.

"Okay" said Gwennie, immediately beginning to eat the popcorn as fast as she could.

Fighter grinned as Gwennie stuffed the popcorn into her mouth, "You chewin' at all, Gwennie?" As she took another drag of her cigarette Fighter tried to continue to calm herself and keep her mind from thinking about being on that circle of death soon.
