It was a blazing hot summer day, the kind that practically begged for thrill rides and frozen lemonade—and you and your 14-year-old sister Tori had finally made it to Six Flags Magic Mountain. The moment you stepped through the entrance, you could already hear the screams from roller coasters in the distance and smell the sugary funnel cakes in the air.
Tori, of course, was wearing her signature outfit: a cute two-piece set, sunglasses, and her phone already out, ready to vlog. With over a million followers on TikTok and Instagram, she couldn’t go anywhere without someone recognizing her—even in a place as crowded as Six Flags.
“We gotta hit Goliath first,” she said, pointing ahead with her phone already recording. “I promised my followers I’d do a POV.”
You groaned. “That ride is like… terrifying.”
“Exactly,” she said with a grin. “Don’t be a baby, Jake. You said you wanted a cool summer memory, didn’t you?”
You rolled your eyes, but followed her anyway as she walked ahead confidently, camera in hand. A few fans stopped her along the way for selfies, and she always gave them a huge smile, making sure to thank them and shout out their usernames.
Eventually, the two of you made it onto the Goliath roller coaster. Your heart was pounding. Tori was laughing. She filmed the whole thing—your terrified face, her screaming with excitement, and both of you throwing your hands up on the final drop.
Afterward, you were dizzy and a little wobbly, while Tori looked completely unfazed. “That was so fun! Let’s go again.”
“Let’s eat first,” you begged, wiping sweat off your forehead. “I need, like, five pretzels and a slushy to survive that.”
She laughed, tossing her hair back. “Okay, fine. But you have to wear the foam cowboy hat I bought while we eat, deal?”
