Thanks guys, yes I feel a lot better than I did the other day. Unfortunately, that happens a good bit, where I get to thinking things like that. I'm glad I have a lot of "turbo-tastic" pals on here to make me feel somewhat wanted, so thanks :)

And sorry this one's super short.

One Turbo-Tastic Day at a Time

Turbo was giving me this look like he was tired of waiting on me. Actually, I'm pretty sure he was, seeing as how I was taking my time on purpose.

"What is your deal?" he asked me irritably, crossing his arms now.

I gulped as I shifted my eyes to the side, the wind blowing my hair about. "This isn't exactly within my comfort zone, you know."

"The sooner we get it over with, the better, don't ya think?"

He had a point but still...gulp. I mentally gave myself a shake to help rid myself of my nerves. I seriously cannot believe I'm about to do this.

"Okay," I sighed, telling myself it'd be over soon. "Let's do this."

He rubbed his hands together in anticipation. "Finally!"

When he leaned forward, I freaked out again. "Wait, wait, wait!"

He stopped and leaned back again, annoyance written all over his face. "Now what?!"

"I...I need some...some chapstick!" I came up with, digging in my pocket for the little tube I had in there, since it was windy outside and I knew I'd need some. Be prepared!

Turbs rubbed his face while I applied a layer of chapstick on. "Why do I get the feeling that you're stalling?"

"I'm sorry, did you want my lips to be chapped?"

Someone behind me yelled, "Just do it already!"

I turned around and gave them a death glare. "Don't rush me!"

I span myself back around towards the Turbs who had begun tapping his foot while he waited on me.

"I hate you for this," I muttered at him with a lowered brow.

He shrugged. "It's called taking a leap, blondie. You want to be a famous writer someday, ya gotta experience life."

I shifted my eyes to the side again. "I don't care to experience this. Especially in front of witnesses."

"You're making it sound worse than it is. It's not a big deal."

"It is to me."

He rolled his eyes at me.

"Can't we...like, hold hands or something?" I asked childishly. I'll admit, it would help me not be so freaked out over...doing this.

"NO."

Crap.

"Can we please just do this?" he was practically begging me, his voice full of aggravated impatience.

I sighed deeply and stared downwards.

"Don't look down!" Turbo snapped at me.

UGH. I lifted my head back up and braced myself, telling myself at least it'd be over quickly. I gulped again, preparing myself mentally before finally leaning forward and-

AHHH, GOD HELP ME, I'M GONNA DIE!

-went flying off the side of the bridge, the only thing attached to me being this cursed bungee cord. I had my hands over my eyes and the loudest scream I could muster tore out of my throat. The air made a whistling noise as I fell and I stole a peek through my fingers only to see the ground getting closer to me. My stomach retched and I shut my eyes again, too terrified to really pay attention to the daredevil I live with laughing his head off as if this was the most fun he'd ever had.

At last, I felt the the rope attached to me hit its limit and I felt some pressure on my chest as it kept me from hitting the ground. Then I felt myself bounce back up a bit and then just hang there with my legs kicking at air, wishing desperately to be back on solid ground. I'm still trying to scream though my throat's raw from the first one I made so it sounds like a raspy squeak instead.

Turbs of course thought this was insanely fun, still laughing about this traumatizing ordeal. "There! Was that so bad?!"

I refused to look at anything, not wanting to look down at the ground. "I think I'm gonna puke."

"Please don't."

I felt whoever was at the top of the bridge pulling me back up to the top so that I could get released from this darn harness. All I wanted to do was lay down on something solid.

"Next time I ask you what you want to do for the day, pick something that won't potentially give me a heart attack!"

"So I guess going up north to try that white water river rafting stuff is out of the question?"

"YES."
