Here is one of the first chapters of going to the county fair! I am not sure if I'm going to split it up into a lot of little chapters or what, but I know that, if I were to add everything about the fair into one chapter, I would have one super long chapter. Chibbiconfettiqueen gave me the idea, first of all, to take them to the fair, so I want to thank her, and chaosxScion gave me the idea to get Tas into all sorts of trouble with spun sugar, so I want to thank that reader very much! (I hope I spelt their name right,though!) If there are any issues with ideas, just let me know and I can re-write a chapter to take out these suggestions. I always ask permission and if I do not have it and that person does not like it that I have used the idea, I will always take it out! That's the last thing I want to do, make any reader mad! You are all such great readers! I thank each and every one of you who have reviewed so far and I want to say thank you for the great suggestions! I can't use all of them, but I will give those people credit, too, at the end of the story, for being so supportive.

The way I figure it, the companions are about five days into their visit. That means that they still have about nine more days to give Jessica, Chelsea, Kibbie, and Alicia trouble!

My sister thought of Tas harassing the petting zoo first, I have to admit. At the beginning of the story, she suggested he bother some of the animals and she wanted him to ride a sheep. So, ride a sheep he shall. (Sorry if I spoiled anything... I do that sometimes...)

Car Ride To The Fair

"Is everyone ready to go?" I asked, wishing there was enough room to line them up in the living room, right in front of me. I couldn't get everything ready for everyone during the course of the fifteen minutes I gave them to get ready. Jessica was still in my room downstairs, moping that we had fought, and I didn't expect her to help anyone else get ready. Kim was slathering sun screen on (we were all still slightly crisp at that point, but Kim knew she was going to get worse if she was out in the sun all day), and Alicia was chasing after Tasslehoff, who had ran off with her purse.

"Alicia, keys?" I asked as she went by, Tasslehoff screeching in happiness at the thrill of the chase.

"Working on it," she replied, hunched over, chasing Tasslehoff down the stairs. I started to turn away, but dashed down the stairs after I heard Alicia tumble, making an involuntary "whoosh" sound.

"Are you okay?" I worried, helping her up. Alicia dusted herself off.

"No problem," she said. "Why would falling down the steps now be any different than before?"

"I never said anything about it being different. I asked if you were okay."

"Oh, yeah, I'm peachy," Alicia answered with a smile. "Let me go and get my purse, though. It ran off. The suburban is unlocked, by the way, if you wanted to start putting people in there."

As Alicia disappeared into the basement, I raised my eyebrows. Alicia would know if she was hurt, and I had other problems to deal with.

Like getting everyone into thevehicles without chaos.

Hoping for no chaos was hoping for too much. It was decided that Goldmoon and Riverwind would ride in the suburban, along with Tanis, Laurana, Tika, Tasslehoff, and Flint. I tried to persuade Sturm to leave my side, but he would not be pushed away so easily. We stood outside, the passenger door of my car open, conversing.

"Lady Chelsea, last time you left my side, that young man at the store-"

"It was no big deal, Sturm," I argued. "I'll be fine without you by my side for the time it takes to get to the fair. You can protect Alicia for a bit."

"Lady Alicia was one of the girls who played that trick on you this morning. I would not be so easily-"

"Sturm," I pleaded, about to strangle the chivalrous knight, "Please, just go with Alicia! You can protect me from the Evil Ferris Wheel from when we get there to the time we leave, for all I care, as long as you go with Alicia for the trips."

The knight seemed to consider this offer, until Raistlin left the house, all ready to go. I wasn't shocked that he hadn't changed into the clothes I had asked Caramon to bring him, but I was starting to dread my decision of inviting him along.

Well, it was either bring him with us or risk having no house left when I got back.

He still had his pouches of spell components and the Staff of Magius, his white hair and gold skin shining, but maybe people would just pass him off as one of the fair workers, a Carnie of sorts. Yeah, that was it, I kept telling myself as he approached the knight and me.

He hardly murmured a thank you as he walked between Sturm and I and sat in the passenger seat, leaving Sturm with no choice but to sit in the back.

I pulled out of the driveway after Keira, who had fit Kim and Dalamar into the backseat of her Geo. Raistlin sat beside me, eying the pen mark Tasslehoff had made on my dash just a few days ago, while Sturm and Caramon sat in the backseat. It was so silent I started to itch, and I even hoped for Sturm to launch into one of his speeches about honor and pride and protecting the helpless, but I had hurt his feelings and he sat quietly in his armor in the backseat. I had just shrugged my shoulders after Strum disappeared into the house angrily, emerging several minutes later in nearly all of his armor. He was doing it to prove a point and I was going to let him know I didn't care. I needed my space.

I glanced in the rear view mirror as I reached the end of the driveway, waiting for the traffic to go by, and saw Tasslehoff bouncing around in the front seat of the suburban, Alicia already looking stressed. The fair was about a half an hour away and we were all planning on staying as long as we could deal with everyone in public, so I felt sorry for her and hoped she had plenty of aspirin along.

We would all need it.

Keira was already fed up with the two lovebirds in the backseat and they were only ten minutes away from Chelsea's house.

"Car Rule Number One," Jess announced, turning down the radio. "There must be at least two inches of space between yourselves at all times."

"Come on, Jessica," Kimmie whined slightly, "You can't see us back here."

"If I look in my rear view mirror to check for traffic, I can see you!"

"It's not that bad..."

"I'm never going to look at my car the same way again if I see something particularly raunchy. Now get away from one another. Car Rule Number Two: Seat belts at all times."

"Agreed," answered Kim, showing Dalamar how to buckle up.

"Car Rule Number Three: Do nothing that will make me want to sell GEOrge, okay?"

"Tasslehoff, sit down."

Several minutes later:

"Tasslehoff, sit down."

Several minutes later:

"TASSLEHOFF, SIT DOWN."

Alicia shook her head. The kender needed to move before she moved him herself.

"Someone, drag Tasslehoff back there."

"There isn't enough room," Tanis answered.

"Do you want an alive kender?"

"No," answered Riverwind hopefully.

"I need him out of the front seat NOW!"

The desperation in Alicia's voice convinced Tika that Alicia really had had enough of the kender and, with Tanis' help, they pulled Tasslehoff into the next row of seats, the kender clutching Alicia's purse.

Several minutes later:

"Um, we have an issue here," Goldmoon said, stroking Tasslehoff's topknot as Tasslehoff turned different shades of green, holding Alicia's purse to his chest.

"I don't feel so well," Tasslehoff said, worried. But he wasn't as worried as the rest of the passengers in the car.

"Do you get carsick if you're not in the front seat, Tas?" Alicia asked, following Chelsea's BandMobile, as she called it, to the freeway exit.

"This is only my second time in a- in a..."

"Tasslehoff, get a bag!"

Alicia's advice was not specific enough. She meant one of the bags kept under the seat for that exact 'problem,' but Tasslehoff threw up in Alicia's purse, announcing he was all better, then disgracing Alicia's purse again.

"Get him in the front seat," Alicia muttered, Tasslehoff climbing weakly to the front seat, where he plopped down and buckled his seatbelt, promptly turning green again. "That always helps with car sickness. Although, if this keeps up, the cargo area might be a better place for him to go."

There we are! The chapters get better and better; I just thought that one chapter devoted specifically to the car ride there would be great! I have this vision of Tasslehoff being passed to the back seat of Alicia's suburban like he was at a rock concert or something, clutching Alicia's purse and then being passed back up to the front seat the same way, slightly green. It's just my twisted little mind doing this... Hah! Thank you for reading and I'll update very soon; I just can't wait for the actual fair! I know I keep leading up to it and telling people about what is going to happen in the author's note at the beginning of the chapters, but I haven't gotten there, yet. There are going to be some fun things for you Dalamar/Kibby shippers and some nice things for you Raistlin/Chelsea shippers (maybe, if I decide to write it in...)

Oh, and GEOrge is the actual name of "Keira"'s Geo (I do not own the name, brand, anything...) and "Chelsea"'s car is actually called the BandMobile. "Alicia"'s suburban doesn't have a name, really, besides The Bus. GEOrge was sold the other week, though, and so I dedicate this chapter to "Keira" and GEOrge. Here is to driving into the school parking lot parade mornings, nearly running over rabbits, pizza deliveries, and good times! We miss you, GEOrge! tear Okay, I'll stop that now.

Thanks for reading and please review!
