You know this is a fun house, right?" Dean's words were starting to sink in. Sam swallowed hard. There weren't clowns here, were there? He looked around nervously for any sign of one. Dean laughed. "Hey man, don't worry, I'm sure it's fine. Why don't we all go in there? Looks like fun." he gestured at a staircase that went up to the ceiling, where a ride wrapped around the room and back down. They agreed, and all four of them made their way over to the stairs. They only had to wait a few minutes before getting to the front of the line, where they found a four person ride car waiting. It went into a tunnel with a clown's face surrounding it so that the car appeared to go into it's mouth. Sam swallowed again, but got into the front seat with Gabriel, Dean and Cas sitting directly behind them. He realized he didn't know what the ride was called. As the car started moving and entered the tunnel, so noticed a sign. It read 'Tunnel of Terror'. His eyes widened as they went into the clown's mouth. What had he gotten himself into? /span/p

They popped up and yelled, laughing, towards the car. Lights flashed and flickered and circus music played rapidly. The car moved fast at some points and slow through some really creepy parts, like one with a particularly vivid clown holding a knife and speckled with blood, teeth yellow and rotten and eyes blue but flashing red every few seconds. They made three laps around the building- which was about the size of half a football field. Sam was shaking and freaking out when they got off. He had spent half of the ride with his eyes squeezed shut, half screaming, and all of it clinging to Gabriel's arm. Gabriel had never really seen Sam this weak and vulnerable. /span/p

You know this is a fun house, right?" Dean's words were starting to sink in. Sam swallowed hard. There weren't clowns here, were there? He looked around nervously for any sign of one. Dean laughed. "Hey man, don't worry, I'm sure it's fine. Why don't we all go in there? Looks like fun." he gestured at a staircase that went up to the ceiling, where a ride wrapped around the room and back down. They agreed, and all four of them made their way over to the stairs. They only had to wait a few minutes before getting to the front of the line, where they found a four person ride car waiting. It went into a tunnel with a clown's face surrounding it so that the car appeared to go into it's mouth. Sam swallowed again, but got into the front seat with Gabriel, Dean and Cas sitting directly behind them. He realized he didn't know what the ride was called. As the car started moving and entered the tunnel, so noticed a sign. It read 'Tunnel of Terror'. His eyes widened as they went into the clown's mouth. What had he gotten himself into? /span/p

They popped up and yelled, laughing, towards the car. Lights flashed and flickered and circus music played rapidly. The car moved fast at some points and slow through some really creepy parts, like one with a particularly vivid clown holding a knife and speckled with blood, teeth yellow and rotten and eyes blue but flashing red every few seconds. They made three laps around the building- which was about the size of half a football field. Sam was shaking and freaking out when they got off. He had spent half of the ride with his eyes squeezed shut, half screaming, and all of it clinging to Gabriel's arm. Gabriel had never really seen Sam this weak and vulnerable. /span/p
