Chapter 1
We were definitely lost. Which was shocking due to our "super sense of direction". But we were in a small CA beach town…and it had a Boardwalk Amusement Park…here comes Nudge with her-
"Can we please go to the Boardwalk? Pleeease?" Ah, there it is.
"Nudge, we are looost! We don't have time for amusement parks!" I always have to be the bad guy!
"But this one is historical! I've read about this place-"
"You know where we are? Tell us!" I interrupted.
"Santa Cruz, CA, home of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which has the Giant Dipper, the sixth oldest roller coaster in the U.S.! Its definitely a MUST!" Nudge, Nudge, Nudge!
"Nudge, we don't have time to be TOURISTS! We have to get back on track!" I said.
"We don't have a track, though, Max." Fang said quietly. "I say we give the Boardwalk a chance." Oh boy, Fang, you're gonna start a revolution someday.
"Fine!" I lost altitude fast as we flew over the Boardwalk; we decided to land somewhere no one would see (Obviously! Duh!).
"Lets go on the 'Giant Dipper'!" Gazzy yelled as he jumped up and down.
"Ummm" I looked up at the coaster, oh my gosh…it was HUGE! And I am just talking about the line! "Sure, Gazzy lets all go on the 'Giant Dipper'" I said as I hesitantly headed for the dreaded 'line', dun dun duuun! Once we were in line, we figured out how long it was gonna be.
"This is sooo scary! I have never gone on this ride…and I hate roller coasters!" A girl that looked not that much older than Nudge told her friend.
"Chill, Sara! Its reeally fun! Its like you're flying!" Her friend told her reassuringly.
"Might I butt in," Oh no…Angel! "but I have been on a roller coaster, and its NOT like flying."
"Ariel!" Time to break in the fake names! "You know what mom and dad told you! Don't talk to strangers!" I could not believe her! This was not like her!
"Sorry Jessica" Angel knew I hated the name Jessica!
"Oh its really alright! She is soo cute! And she deserves some rock candy and salt water toffee?" The girl that was afraid of coasters said hypnotizedishly (new word!). I elbowed Angel; I knew she was controlling her mind.
"Oh! That was weird! I was about to buy her a bunch of candy! Haha…ha" She snapped out of it…luckily.
"I am Jessica, this is Ariel, Monique, John, Alex, Nick, and…Buddy." I said. Total never liked the stereotype dog name 'Buddy', haha for him.
"Wow! I have a dog named Buddy, too! He was already named when we got him." Sara, the girl afraid of coasters said.
"So, are you afraid of heights or something?" Gazzy or 'John' asked.
"Or something…" Sara said
"Ga-John-don't be rude!" I said. Oh no! Here comes Iggy with his-
"Ya Gajohn! Not cool!" Must he do that really?
"Oh no! We're next, Taylor!" Sara was frrreakin' out!
"Its really okay! You'll be fine…if you don't get sick." Her friend Taylor said as they got into their cart. I showed the lady my bracelet pass to get in and she let me by. I got in a cart with Angel behind Sara and Taylor.
"Hello, welcome to the Giant Dipper, please keep your hands and feet inside your cart, and enjoy the ride!" A voice said on a loudspeaker. Then I felt the ride come to life beneath me, Sara quivered and squealed a little, I really felt sorry for her. We started ticking up to the part where we all go 'AAAAHHHHH' very slowly. Everyone put their hands in the air, ready for the dip. We were almost at the top when Sara turned around and said,"Sorry in advance if I puke on YOU!" She said 'YOU!' as we turned the peak and started plummeting down, and ooohh boy were her eyes HUGE!
We got off the ride and found each other.
"AWESOME! Again again again!" Gazzy yelled.
"Excuse me? Hey, umm I kinda lost my friend…could I hang with you 'till I find her?" Sara popped up next to Nudge; they really looked like they were close ages.
"Sure!" Nudge said, I could tell she just wanted a girl her age to talk to.
"Great! Thanks!" She said as she kinda hooked in to the group.
"Soo, where next?" Sara asked me. She got that I was the leader. There was something about her…not bad…but I could tell we were gonna see her a lot…
