CHAPTER 8: TUNNEL OF LOVE
There was a carnival happening at the fairgrounds near Frieda's cottage the next day. And the kids wanted to check it out. So Frieda, along with Charlie Brown, Sally, Michael, Snoopy, Woodstock, and a neighbor kid named Jimmy, went to the carnival to ride some rides. Once they got there they were surprised to see how big it was. It had rides, games, and huge roller coasters. The kids paid for their wrist bands so they could have unlimited rides on the rides.
"So what do you want to ride first, baby?" asked Frieda to Charlie Brown.
"We could do the roller coaster first," suggested Charlie Brown.
"Are you sure?" Frieda wondered. "You know you get sick easy on those."
"Maybe, but I need to get used to them sometime," Charlie Brown replied. "Plus I took some Dramamine, so I'm good to go."
"All right, the roller coaster it is!" said a happy Frieda. And the kids boarded the Mind Warper, the first coaster there. As they rode it they had fun, and Charlie Brown didn't get sick on it. Next they did the fun house, which they had fun, though Charlie Brown had a little trouble with the spinning tunnel. Then they went on the scrambler which was exciting for all. After that, the couples all went on the tunnel of love, while Jimmy and Snoopy, along with Woodstock went to play some carnival games.
While on the Tunnel of Love, Frieda said to Charlie Brown, "Isn't this romantic, sweetie?"
"It sure is, Frieda," agreed Charlie Brown. "I'm glad I'm spending the summer with you."
"I am glad, too, hun," said Frieda. She then kissed Charlie Brown, making him blush a bit. She could still make him smile with her kisses.
Meanwhile in Sally and Michael's boat, Sally said to Michael, "I'm so glad you and I are together here, Michael. I didn't think I'd be able to do this again after the accident."
"I'm glad too, Sally," said Michael. "There's no one else that I want to be with more than you."
"Oh, Sweet Babboo!" cooed Sally, who then kissed Michael, making him smile.
After the four of them got off the Tunnel of Love, Jimmy and Snoopy greeted them.
"Hey, guys," he said. "Look at all the prizes Snoopy won!" And Snoopy pushed a wheelbarrow full of prizes towards the kids.
"Only my dog could pull this off," sighed Charlie Brown. Woodstock grabbed a teddy bear with his talons and flew it over to Frieda and dropped it in her hands.
"Why thank you, Woodstock," she said, stroking his face, making him blush almost as much as Charlie Brown. He did the same for Sally bringing her a unicorn with a rainbow-colored horn.
"Thanks, Woodstock," said Sally. Snoopy then gave his owner a Louisville Slugger baseball bat he won at the ball toss.
"Thanks, Snoopy ol' pal," said Charlie Brown with a smile. Snoopy then gave Michael a basketball.
"Thanks, Snoopy!" said a happy Michael. And the kids brought the prizes back to the van where Frieda's parents parked before going back to ride the rides. The fun would continue through the night.
