Ferris Wheels
(A/N: I AM SO SORRY THAT I HAVEN'T UPDATED THIS IN FIFTY MILLION YEARS! ILL TRYING TO UPDATE MORE OFTEN FROM NOW ON.)

I hate Ferris wheels. But I would do anything to make Nico happy. I took his hand as we got farther from the ground.
I glanced over at him and saw that he was excitedly looking at the town that was spread out before us. It would have been beautiful had I not been scared of heights.
Nico said, "This would be a beautiful thing to draw."
"Are you a good artist?"
He shrugged. "I'm okay at it. I haven't drawn much in a long time, though. And most of what I have drawn is Bianca."
"Oh." I said, "Well, could you try this?"
"Yeah. I could try it. But if it looks terrible, don't judge, okay?"
"I won't."
"Good."
We rode around in silence for a while and I realized what he was talking about with the whole 'it has a beautiful view' thing.
The entire town and more was spread out and in sight. The sun was about to go down.
When the ride stopped, we decided to get some food.
I bought it for us. Nico got a cheeseburger from a small stand with McDonalds-type food. I found a salad and got that. I hate greasy foods.
I scowled at his burger. "Those are gross."
He rolled his eyes."You're crazy."
"They have so much grease!"
"They have so much flavor."
"Salads are better for you."
"These," He gestured to the burger, "taste better."
"Whatever."

I walked determinedly up to a stand that looked fairly easy. I had made it my goal to get Nico a prize.
"Will, what are you doing?"
I stepped into the line for the game. I was supposed to throw darts at balloons and try to pop them.
"Are you going to try this?" Nico asked.
"Yep."
"You do realize these things are rigged, right? You're not going to win."
"I can do it."
"Mhmm. Yeah. Okay." He didn't sound convinced.
"Just wait. I'll win it."
When it was my turn, the person working the stand gave me three darts, and I gave him the money to play.
He stepped aside as I brought my arm back as far as I could, concentrating hard.
I can do this!
I brought my arm forward with as much force as I could, and it went spiraling towards the balloons...
...and bounced harmlessly off them.
I groaned in frustration. Okay, so maybe Nico was right...
I have to keep trying, though.
I picked up the second dart and did the same thing. This time the dart landed right in the middle of two balloons.
I put all my frustration into my last dart. I reeled it back, brought it forward with all my might, and watched it sail over to the balloons.
I watched it go, and everything seemed to be in slow-motion.
It was going to hit it!
It was an inch away...then POP! The balloon was no more. Nico raised an eyebrow at me.
"Congrats." The person who worked the stand said. "You won this." She handed me a small figure.
I pouted, but stepped out of line. All that for a tiny little figure?
"What'd you get?"
"I little figurine. I think maybe a Greek god or something. I don't know..."
His eyes lit up. "Mythomagic?!"
"Uh...maybe, do you want it?"
He nodded, staring at the figure.
"Oh. Well, then, here."
I handed it to him.
"Thank you!"
I laughed. "You're welcome."
I'm sorry that this was so short! I just really needed to post a chapter so, I had to leave it like this...
Thank you all so much for reading!
And to solangelo_ships for letting me use her IPad to write this.
Bye!
