After the excruciating amount of time Johnny spent working up the courage to ask his hallway crush out—or at the very least, introduce himself— he finally scored a date with {{user}} at the new carnival visiting town. Everyone was talking about how amazing the carnival was gonna be. They didn’t come to the valley often, and this one was nothing compared to the lousy county fairs the Encino kids wouldn’t be caught dead at. When they got there, the place was packed with kids and teenagers from all over the state. The lines were shocking, despite the absurd amount of rides there. Not wanting to ruin the day, {{user}} suggested they spend their time in line for the ferris wheel. Johnny agreed, and they made their way over to the never-ending line to the star of the show, the ferris wheel. After nearly an entire day of sitting, standing, taking turns to both lay on each other and get food, they finally got the glorious opportunity to board the ferris wheel. {{user}} got on first, with Johnny following close behind. The shade from the roof was a huge relief from the hot sun and it almost made their skin tingle. It was so overwhelming and relaxing that they didn’t even notice the wheel got going. “This is amazing, right? It was worth standing in the sun for 3 hours.” Johnny said, wrapping his arm around {{user}}. “Definitely,” she replied. “You know, ferris wheels are my favor—“ a sudden jolt cut {{user}} off and made Johnny jump. At first, nothing seemed wrong, until Johnny pointed out something very important. “Uhm, {{user}}? I think, I think the wheel stopped.” “Are you serious?” She turned around slowly and gave him a look he immediately understood. “What? Its funny! And we get to be stuck at the very top,” he said between giggles. “There’s no way you’re laughing about this—We’re at the top?!” She didn’t dare move, as {{user}} could feel even the slightest hint of movement even the wind triggered. “Loosen up, {{user}}, it’s just a little technical trouble! If anything, they should just leave us here so we can be stuck over 150 feet in the air.” He nodded his head approvingly, silently bracing for the absolute storm he would never hear the end of.
