Chapter 6: A Day at the Fair

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day after Rikochet and Buena Girl became separated was one spent in pure bliss. After school, they went to the movies together, though Rikochet wanted to run out of theater due to the fact that the movie was "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants." Buena Girl liked it though, so that made him happy. Afterwards, Rikochet also treated Buena Girl to doughnuts at the Slammin' Doughnuts. It was halfway through the meal, though that Buena Girl realized something.

"Rikochet, we still have to finish our corn husk dolls for the fair on Saturday!"

After that, they hurriedly finished their doughnuts and went to Buena Girl's house, because her family had plenty of dried corn husks, beads, and scrap cloth. As the two worked, they began talking. "You know, Buena Girl, I'm kinda glad that we got stuck together like that," Rikochet said as he carefully strung some little beads. "You are?" Buena Girl said in surprise. Rikochet nodded. "Why are you glad? We couldn't bathe or do other things properly while we were together."

I don't wanna talk about things we've gone through,
Though it's hurting me, now it's history.
I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too.
Nothing more to say, no more ace to play.

"True," Rikochet admitted. But now he put down his beads and looked into Buena Girl's eyes. "But if it hadn't happened, we would have had to continue to long for each other at a distance. We don't have to do that now." Buena Girl had to admit he had a point. She returned to the doll she was making.

The winner takes it all, the loser standing small.
Beside the victory, that's her destiny.
I was in your arms, thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense, building me a fence,
Building me a home, thinking I'd be strong there.
But I was a fool, playing by the rules.

After many hours of work, they had succeeded in replacing all of the dolls that had been damaged in the Flea's glue attack, as well as a variety of many other beautiful dolls. As Rikochet said good-bye to Buena Girl (with one last kiss) he slipped some corn husks and beads into his pocket. He then ran home and got to work on his little surprise.

The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice.
And someone way down here, loses someone dear.
The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall.
It's simple and it's plain, why should I complain?
But tell me does she kiss, like I used to kiss you.
Does it feel the same, when she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside you must know I miss you.

Finally, Saturday arrived. All of the students from the Foremost World-Renouned International School of Lucha gathered in the parking lot of the school to set up for the big fair. Rikochet and Buena Girl got a booth right near the school's entrance - and right next to the ring where the Flea would be wrestling Headmistress. They looked over at the Flea, who was recieving what were supposed to be words of encouragmeant from Dustania. "He's a goner," Rikochet and Buena Girl said in unison.


But what can I say, rules must be obeyed.
The judges will decide, the likes of me abide.
Spectators of the show, always staying low.
The game is on again, a lover or a friend.

After a period of there being absolutely no one, a few people showed up and began looking through all of the things that were for sale. After more people started coming, the Flea and the Headmistress began their match (much to the crowd's enjoyment). Even Rikochet and Buena Girl were amused. Then 2 girls who were slightly younger then they were came over to their booth. "Oh! Look at these dolls!" said one girl. The girl next to her picky up a doll wearing a black dress. "I think these are cool dolls! What do you think, Gaby?" she said to the first girl. "Oh, they are great!" Gaby replied, smiling. "I'm going to get one, Kuki. Are you?" Kuki nodded, then asked, "How much?" to Buena Girl, since she was nearest.


A big thing or a small, the winner takes it all.
I don't wanna talk if it makes you feel sad,
And I understand, you've come to shake my hand.
I apologize if it makes you feel bad.
Seeing me so tense, no self-confidence.

After the two girls wandered off with their new corn husk dolls, Rikochet decided to give Buena Girl the present he had made for her. "Um, Buena Girl?" he started nervously. "Yes?" she asked. "Um, I was..." he started. Then he quickly pulled out a beautiful corn husk doll. It was dressed like Buena Girl. She gasped as she took it. "Rikochet, thank you," she said happily. Rikochet blushed. "I'm glad you like it," he said. She smiled at him and opened her arms for another embrace. Rikochet began to do the same.

"YAI!"

The Flea then flew between them and crashed into the school's wall. "The Flea's...spleen..." he moaned from where he lay.
Dustania rushed over to tend to him while Rikochet and Buena Girl embraced with a laugh.


But you see,
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
So the winner takes it all
And the loser has to fall
Throw a dice, cold as ice
Way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall
Yes it's plain, ...
