I know, I know. It took me like, a month to update, but I've been busy with a bunch of things for school, I did this in between doing service hours, doing a Social Studies report and PowerPoint AND poster, studying for Confirmation test, AND making a model rocket.

B is for Balloons!

I walked with Sam across the crowd filled park. The fair was going on, and we were trying to find Carly and Spence.

"Walk faster Benson!" Sam yelled from in front of me.

"I'm TRYING!" I yelled back.

I jogged to catch up only to find Sam staring at a Pop-A-Balloon stand.

"Pop-A-Balloon? Really Sam? That's for like, little kids!"

Sam glared at me. She clenched her teeth. "Yeah. But. If. You. Pop. The. SPECIAL. Balloon. You. Win. FREE. PORK!"

"Sam. That's just a scam. There probably is no "special" balloon."

Sam tackled me and stole my wallet. "Sorry Freddo. No cash on me."

She pulled out about twenty dollars and threw my wallet at me. She slapped the money on the table. "Give me the darts."

The man gave her about ten darts. He and I watched her, determination in her face, throw each dart. None of them got her the free pork.

"You can get a pri..." Sam grabbed the collar of the man.

"SECURITY!" The guy yelled.

I pulled Sam away. She kicked and threw herself around. "Let GO of me boy!"

"No Sam!" I put her down, but kept my hold on her arm. "We're GOING!"

She frowned. "But Freddie." She looked at me with hope in her eyes. "I have a good feeling about another try." Her hopefulness turned into anger. "And if you DON'T," she grabbed my shirt with one hand. "you're gonna be hurting in places you didn't even know existed!" She let go of me.

I widened my eyes. "Oh...oh..okay, suh....suh...Sam." I nervously handed her two dollars. She yanked it out of my hand. The man handed her a dart as she handed him the cash. Sam threw it and..."WINNER! WINNER!" the alarm screeched. "WINNER! WINNER!"

The guy looked at her with disbelief. "You won."

"YEAH!" Sam was doing a victory dance. "Mama ALWAYS wins!"

Carly walked behind me. "Finally! We found you." Spencer yelled, appearing next to Carly.

"What did Sam win?" Carly asked with a smile.

"Free pork." I stared at her high-fiving some random kids.

I snapped out of my daze. "You know you owe me some of that right."

She gave me a weird look. "Why?"

"Because," I smiled and walked up to her. "My money, my pork."

She rolled her eyes, "I'll give you the money back."

I rolled my eyes this time. "Yeah, just like you gave back that money to me and Carls."

"Whatever. Really don't care." she turned back to the man. "Now give me the gift certificate!"

He handed her it and I caught a couple of words from her before she went off to walk beside Carly. "Thanks Fredweird."

Please Review! I CRAVE your opinion just like I crave those red velvet cupcakes on my kitchen table. Wuv You!
