Eddison and Jack were at the top of the hill surrounded by the forest. It took longer than usual to get up there because they both had to roll a barrel up the hill. Once they were up there, they took in the site of the small town at the bottom of the hill.
Jack looked at Eddison, "Are you ready?"
"I should be asking you that."
"I'm asking if you're ready to push me."
"You should have asked me that when I opened the door to my house. I should have known by the look of your face that you were planning something stupid. But I had no time run back in the house since you pulled me away and without asking me if I wanted to join in."
"I need someone to test this out with."
"Why couldn't you get your sister?"
"She has to finish her quilt before tonight for something, I don't know."
"Maybe since she knows you so well she's making that quilt for you for when you end up in bed with some sort of broken bone."
"Thanks for the optimism." Jack finished by laying the barrel on its side. "Hold it still for me." Eddison nodded and held the barrel from rolling down so that Jack could crawl in. Jack moved himself around until he was sitting upright and his knees were to his chest. "I'm ready when you are."
"There is no way you're going to survive this."
"You worry too much. Ok, let's roll."
"Haha, very funny." Eddison started to roll the barrel to the edge
"Yep, I'm just that smart. Ready?"
"You count."
"Ok….one…two….two and a half…." Jack bit his lip and hesitated.
"Is someone regretting their decision to plummet to their death?"
"No! I was just not prepared. Again…one…two…Three!" When Jack finished counting, Eddy closed his eyes and pushed the barrel off the edge. Jack felt like he was flying for a second, then started feeling the ground as it made contact with the barrel. Bumping down the hill sometimes made Jack hit his head, but he was really enjoying. "Woo-Hoo!" he yelled every single time he felt the small flying feel and his heart would race.
From Eddison's point of view, it was nerve racking, sometime the barrel will jump slightly to the side or almost hit a tree. Eddy would yell, "Left! No Right! Straight! Watch out for that Tree! Rock! Boulder! Ahh!"
Jack couldn't hear him though, the sound of the wind going by and his cries of joy drowned out Eddison's worried orders.
Eddison sighed when Jack made it to the bottom of the hill. "Finally, flat ground would slow him down." Eddy then noticed something that wasn't there in the middle of the village before. "Is that a ramp?" He saw he was right, there was a plank wide enough for the barrel to role on in the middle of the small town. One end was lifted up like a ramp by what look like stakes. He didn't know where it came from, but he knew Jack didn't put it there himself. "Jack! Stop!" and he ran down the hill.
Jack's view was obstructed so he couldn't see the ramp waiting for him to roll on to. When he felt flat land, Jack chuckled and started to think of doing this again. Suddenly he felt himself go straight up and fly high in the air. He screamed in surprised and then felt the barrel tip to the side in midair. The open side of the barrel tipped down, making Jack slide out. He and the barrel kept on flying until gravity finally took over and pulled them down. The direction, towards the wall of a house. He panicked until he noticed his weight bring him down faster than the barrel. He landed, thankfully in a pile of hay that was stacked up against the house. A second after he landed, he heard a crash, knowing fully well that was the sound of his ride crashing against the wall.
When Eddison was almost at the bottom of the hill, he looked up to see the barrel hit the wall and break into a thousand pieces, but no Jack was inside. When he finally got to the bottom, he yelled, "Jack where did you go?"
"In here." He heard the voice come from a pile of hay.
"What?" he ran to it and stopped. He jumped back and screamed when Jack's head popped out and he yelled, "Boo!"
"Ahhhh! Grrr! Don't scare me like that."
"Oh come on, that was fun."
"You think flying in the air and almost crashing into a wall is joke?!"
"No. It's just a normal landing you can walk away from."
"You say that a lot, but I don't think it's true."
Jack and Eddison turned to the voice yelling from behind a house "I thought you said it would work!" Jack smiled and put his finger to his lips then motioned for Eddy follow him quietly to see who it was. When they got to it, they peek behind the corner to see Jefferson Burgess yelling at a few of his friends. Jack got an idea and then told Eddy to follow him back somewhere else.
Jefferson kept yelling, "He liked it! He practically popped out of there like a Jack in the box and said he wanted to do it again." His friends looked at him and then started to laugh. "What?"
"Jack in the box, good on." Bill said.
Jefferson smacked him upside the head. "This is no joke man, he was supposed to hit the damn wall."
"Well, I didn't calculate him tipping over." Gilfred said.
"So what now?"
"Now this!" They heard someone from the roof. The three boys looked up but ended up having to shield themselves from a bag full of hay dropping from the top. Gilfred and Bill started to yell and Jeff told them to, "Shut Up! Why are you whining like a bunch of babies? It's just hay, Jackson's trying to scare us."
"It's not clean hay, its used hay." Gilfred managed to say before taking off with Bill back their houses. Jeff raised an eyebrow in confusion and then took a sniff. He smelled like…like, "Oh, Crap!" And he ran.
When he was out of ear shot, Eddy and Jack, who were on the roof, burst into laughter.
A.N: ok I'm off to bed. See you soon, I'm KikaKatTIOI, peace out!
