Fighter resisted the urge to groan, she wanted to take her time and she had hoped giving the rest of the popcorn to Gwennie would slow the pace but she should've known better. She was just going to have to deal with this because she wasn't going to let the girl down. Fighter gave Gwennie a grin and nodded her head, taking a deep drag of her cigarette. "You're right what was I thinking?"

Gwennie nodded and smiled, still wolfing down the popcorn as fast as she could and, all the while kicking her legs back and forth happily. Finally, after several minutes of stuffing herself with popcorn, she stopped and looked over at fighter and held up the now empty popcorn container "all done" she said proudly "can we go on da ferris wheel now?"

Fight finished her cigarette and gave Gwennie a nod, holding her hand out to her. "Yeah we can, lets head over there now before the line gets too long." In her head Fighter was silently praying that everything go smoothly.

Gwennie smiled broadly and grabbed Fighters hand once again pulling her the to the end of the relatively short line for the ferris wheel. The ride looked even taller close up and Gwennie was nearly jumping up and down in anticipation waiting for their turn.

Fighter forced a smile when they got in line and refused to look up to the top of the ride. It was taking all she had to make her breathing normal. She looked down at Gwennie, "You excited kid?" Fighter had to beat down the urge to turn and walk away from the ride.

"Yeah!"replied Gwennie, elated by the prospect of the iminant ride. Almost as soon as she said that, the ride stopped and the current riders got off. "Yay! it's our turn" she cried exultantly as the line began to move forward.

Fighters breath hitched as soon as the words escaped Gwennie's lips. She took one more calming breath before stepping forward, her face paling incredibly. As she handed the man running the ride some change he asked if she was okay. She mumbled a reply and followed Gwennie to the seat, her stomach knotting up further and further.

Gwennie sat down in the seat, beginning to kick her legs back and forth, enjoying how the seat swung back and forth along with her legs. "Didja evah go on dis ride befoah?" she asked cheerfully as she waited impatiently for the ride to start.

Fighter shook her head to Gwennies question and continued to force herself to take deep breaths. "Nah not this one, never thought I would either." She forced yet another smile in Gwennie's direction, "But I'm sure your gonna love it." She was also sure she was never going to go on this damn ride again after today.

"I'm shoah I will too said Gwennie, smiling broadly "but why didn't ya think dat you'd evah go on it?" she asked, confused as to why she would have skipped this ride when she had come here before "aren't ya allowed ta go on it?"

Fighter nodded, "Yeah I'm allowed to go on, I just nevah really wanted to before." She'd never been one to admit her fears because she saw them as weaknesses and she wasn't ready to let Gwennie know either. Being afraid of heights might not seem like much to others but to her it was a big thing. Her uncle used to tell her all the time that fear is weakness and you can never show your weaknesses because that's when people know they can get to you. Fighter refused to look at anything other than Gwennie's face because she may start hyperventilating.

"Oh, okay" replied Gwennie "when's it gonna start?" she asked impatiently, looking over at the controls. Almost as soon as the words left her lips the ferris wheel lurched into motion, moving them slowly upward. "all right!" cried Gwennie enthusiastically "look, it's movin' " she said to Fighter noticing that she didn't seem to be looking at the ride or the view outside of it.

Fighter nodded and swallowed back the urge to throw-up when the ride started moving. Her hands were grasped together in her lap so tightly that her knuckles had turned a ghostly white. "Yes, it's excitin' huh?" Fighter still wasn't looking anywhere but Gwennie. At least she was able to keep her breathing even. She didn't fancy passing out on Gwennie during the middle of the ride.

" Are you okay?" asked Gwennie, concern clouding her excitement as she moticed how pale Fighter looked all of a sudden "ya don' look so good" she furrowed her brows in a mixture of confusion and worry "are ya sick?"
