The bus pulled up to the fair.

"Whoa! This is amazing!"

"Sure is!"

"What should we do first?"

"I'm not sure… there's so much here!"

Cherie took a deep breath, "Mmm… I smell fried dough!"

Punky sniffed, "Ooh! So do I!"

Brandon barked.

"I say we start there." Cherie started walking to the fried dough stand.

"I'm right behind you!"

Brandon barked once again and followed Punky and Cherie.

After they got their fried dough they walked around playing some of the games. Punky one a rubber duck, Cherie won a lime green stuffed monkey, and Brandon got a ribbon for best dog costume. Punky was really glad that she bought that Mr. T. outfit for Brandon.

The slid down a few of the big slides, road the elephant, and a few roller coasters, then they were in front of the Ferris Wheel.

"It sure is amazing!"

"Sure is!"

"It's huge!"

"We definitely saved the best for last."

"Totally."

The loudspeaker went off.

"Last chance to ride the Ferris Wheel!"

"Come on Punky, let's hurry!"

As they were riding with Ferris Wheel they talked about the great day they had.

"So what was you're favorite part Cherie?"

"I like this… and the free happy meals!"

Punky giggled, "I liked punching that Tony!"

Cherie rolled her eyes, "Of course."

The wheel stopped to let people off. They were on the top.

"Wow! You can see for miles!"

"Nice!"

"I never realized how big our city was."

"Me either."

"This was the best day ever!"

"You can say that again!"

"This was the best day ever!"

They laughed.

"To think that we almost wasted the day staring at Brandon."

"Yeah… I'm glad Henry suggested we do this."

They were quiet for a moment until Punky had a sudden realization.

"Oh… my… gosh…"

"What is it?"

"Did you hear Henry say what time we had to be home?"

Cherie's eyes widened, "No…"

"Uh…oh… we are in so much trouble!"

They were back at the bottom. When they got off they asked to person controlling the ride what time it was.

"11:58"

"What!"

"Oh sorry, it's now 11:59."

"Oh no!"

"Is there something wrong?"

Punky and Cherie were both pacing.

"Yes. Very wrong?"

"Where are your parents?"

"At home…"

"You mean you're here all alone?"

"Yes…"

"How did you get here?"

"The bus… The bus!"

"Sorry kids, the last one just left."

"So you're saying we're stuck here?"

"Sorry."

Punky, Cherie, and Brandon went to the fair's entrance.

"Punky, what are we going to do? It's past midnight and my Grandma and Henry havn't heard from us since we left 13 hours ago!"

"Alright, alright, don't panic. We'll get home somehow…"

Just then a police car drove up.

"Hey! Maybe we can get a ride home from the policeman!"

"I'll try anything!"

They walked up to the car and knocked on the window.

"Hello? Excuse me? Officer?"

He opened the window.

"Yes kids, can I help you?"

"Please. Please can you drive us home! You see we came alone and the last bus already left and we have no access to a phone and our parents haven't heard from us since this morning and-"

The officer cut Punky off.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute… you two wouldn't happen to be Punky Brewster and Cherie Johnson now would you?"

Their faces lit up, "Yes! Yes! That's us alright!"

"Yeah, We got a call from a Henry Warnimont he said he was very worried about you two."

"I'm sure he is!"

"Is he your father?"

"Yes."

"Alright kids hop in the back I'll take you home."

"Thank you so much Officer!"

He smiled, "Call me Joe."

"Thanks Joe!"

While they were driving Joe made sure that the other officers knew that Punky and Cherie were found and safe. He also made sure that Henry was notified.

"Now how did you girls manage to stay out so late?"

"We went on an adventure around Chicago!"

"I'll say you did."

"If you girls don't mind me asking, because it's been driving me nuts thinking about it, but, why is your dog dressed as Mt. T.?"

"It's a long story…"
