Soon spring gave way to summer and the weather became beautiful and Michael and Jamie still had the camper and life had been trouble free and really well for them Jamie had caught a cold a couple of times but apart from that she was fine and also as Summer was the time of fetes and more Garage sales Michael and Jamie had got more stuff too but one day in mid June Michael seen something weird he'd never seen before but Jamie seem to have and seem to know what was going on
In a field their was a lot of side stalls cars trucks parked a funfair and crowds of people all gathered and their was music playing in the distance and cheering and that and their seemed to be flags streamers balloons and banners everywhere
' What's going on must be a big event or something going on and the road looks closed " Said Jamie who sat in the front next to Michael
" Damn we won't get through but I really dunno guess we could park and go and check it out " Michael said looking for a place to park
" Cool also the funfair is their too look " Said Jamie pointing at a huge Ferris wheel in the distance amongst other rides and stalls
" Yeah but I don't do funfair rides we can see what's going on and have a look around then leave okay " Said Michael as Jamie sighed
Truth was Michael hated being among crowded they made him nervous even though just now he looked normal and would blend in with his cream coloured knee length shorts and white shoes and a pale blue Snoopy shirt Jamie forced him to wear and he had his hair was loose and in frizzy waves and sunglasses on his head so he looked normal and dressed for the hot weather and would blend in anywhere but he still felt nervious
' Okay I guess but I wanna go on some rides and looks like some kinda gala day or county fair I guess these things are usually fun I went to a couple with mom and dad when I was little and mom hated funfair rides too they made her sick she told me and dad a story of years ago she went to a fun fair with her two friends Lynda and Annie think it was a county fair and mom was dragged on this really fast ride that spun you around and she threw up all over Annie's new jeans and since then she never set foot on another ride again she always stood and watched but she was good at winning stuff she won me some soft toys when I was younger on the side stalls " Jamie said
' Well fraid I'm no good at them infact I don't think Iv ever been to a funfair as don't remember them or maybe I was too young I think Judith went one time with her boyfriend and she came home carrying a big soft toy she'd won that later sat in her room " Michael said thinking back to seeing Judith with a large panda that was almost as big as he was
' Well you might win something today you never know " Said Jamie smiling as the two of them headed towards the crowds and no one gave them a second glance
As Michael and Jamie blended in they then heard the music get louder as if it was a parade coming and this also fascinated Michael as he never seen a parade before
Their was a band leading it followed by cops on motercycles but they didn't see Michael or Jamie as they were busy and behind their their was a crowd of dancers dressed like cheerleaders aged from about 5 to teens then the Boy Scouts were behind them and then a large fancy looking car that looked if it had some important people in it and then more Boy Scouts and what was behind them made people cheer and gasp a little
Their was a white horse drawn carriage with 4 white horses all dressed up in ribbons and flowers and 2 men dressed in smart red and gold uniforms sat up top and in the carriage was 6 children 3 girls in 2 in fancy looking pink dresses and pale lilic capes and their hair in curls and little tiaras in their hair and the other little girl wore a fancy white dress and a red cape and her hair was all in curls too and a sparkly big tiara and all 3 were waving and had white gloves on and carrying flowers and sitting opposite them was 3 boys 2 dressed In blue shirts and sashes around them and blue capes and small crowns and the middle boy in white and a red cape and all 3 had gloves too and also they were waving
" Wow look at them so pretty " Jamie said watching the carriage wishing she was in the carriage and she had a vision of herself in the carriage wearing a sparkly white long dress a velvety red cape a tiara on her head her hair in curls and she was waving to the crowds who had come to see her and her attendants and her king but all eyes were on her and people were saying how beautiful she looked and in the vision when she came out the carriage a man in a red uniform helped her out and the crowds on eather side lol bowed low calling her your highness and clapped and cheered her
" Jamie smiled a little as she liked that vision but she had no chance of that coming true so she just watched the decorated trucks heading into the field and more people coming in on foot
" Guess that's the last of the parade let's go in and look around okay " Said Michael giving Jamie's hand a squeeze as they headed in to the field to look around
" Daddy look their they are again " Said Jaime pointing at the day's royalty as they got out their carriage and walked along a red carpet pausing for photos and they were met by VIPs
"Guess their meant to be the king and Queen of the event they look like kids too not much older than you really ' Michael said
" They are its the county fair king and Queen their usually king and Queen for a year and next year they willl pick a new one and their usually about 11 or 12 mom was a princess one year when she was little she was about 12 at the time Haddonfeild had a county fair and I remember the older kids going in for it I always wanted to go in for it when I was older but I don't think I will now and anyway it's done through the school and I don't go to school now ' Jamie said sighing and looking at the Queen in the distance who was talking to some VIPs along with the little boy that was the king before they headed up to the stage area to get new crowns put on
" Come on princess anyway your my little queen and theirs no use beating yourself up over it let's go and enjoy ourselfs " Said Michael gently leading a sad Jamie away to look around
Soon Jamie had forgot about the Royal party as she went on some of the rides and really enjoyed them and also Michael had bought her some cotton candy too that cheered her up
" Oh come on daddy it's fun and you can see everything from up here " Said Jamie a little later trying to pull Michael onto the Ferris wheel by the hand
" No no no I told you I don't do rides nope not a chance nu hu " Michael said with a laugh
" Looks if the little lady wants you to join her " A man taking the money said with a laugh
" Well not a chance I don't do rides " Michael said as Jamie tugged harder but 5 minutes later Michael was defeated
" If I'm sick or dizzy well I know who to blame and stop giggling it's not funny " Michael said as he sat on the Ferris wheel next to Jamie and he could feel himself going up backwards
" Oh relaxe daddy you'll enjoy it and you can see everything from up here ' Jamie said looking at the fair and everything looked tiny as they reached the top but Michael wasent sure as he felt nervous and hung onto the safety bar tightly and cursing a little under his breath
The ride went round several times and loud disco pop music pumped out and when the ride finally stopped Michael was happy as he wasent keen on being up their but his nightmare was far from over as Jamie had other things planned for them
well that's that chappy done more to come
