They walked back to the other side and towards the rides. What ride would you like to ride now asked Sean? How about the Farris wheel? Sounds good let's go. They got on the Farris wheel and waited for it to start. You have to remember that the ride may stop to let people off so don't be scared said Sean. I know that. Ok just as long as you know. The ride started and they were off. This is kind of fun said Katie. They went round and round for a few minutes and then the ride stopped. They must be letting people off said Katie. That was the case and the ride started up again. Everyone was let off the ride except Sean and Katie. Who ended up at the top of the Farris wheel.
They waited for a minute or so and then stared to get a little scared. Why have they not started the ride again and let us off. This is not funny. After about five minutes they started to yell to try to get someone's attention. No one heard them as there was too much noise. What are we going to do asked Katie? I don't know let me think for a moment said Sean. Sean couldn't think of anything. Katie stared to get panicky. She started to wave her arms around hoping to get someone's attention. Just then someone did notice and sent someone to the ride.
A short time later they got Sean and Katie off the ride. By this time Katie was in tears she was so scared that they would never get down from the ride. Sean seeing that Katie was upset got very upset. "What happened? We were up there for over a half hour. My friend here is very upset. Why would you leave two kids at the top of a ride for that length of time?" The man who got them down apologized. It seems that the operator of the ride had not checked to make sure that all riders were off the ride before he went for lunch. They were offered a refund of their tickets and free tickets for the next Spring Break. This was not enough for Sean. Unfortunately we will not be able to attend during March Break as I will be at school and my friend lives in another country. He told them that he was going to speak with his father and see what needed to be done.
Once they left the ride Sean stopped and sat down with Katie. Are you ok now he asked? I was so scared said Katie. I know but you were very brave for a very long time. Do you want to stay or do you want to go home now? Katie thought for a moment. I think I want to go home now. Ok we will go home now. I am sorry that this happened. It is not your fault said Katie. I know but even so. I had a really good time until then said Katie with a smile. I am glad said Sean.
As they were heading towards the exit one of the men who had gotten them off the ride came up to them. I am glad I found you he said. Here is your coupon for the refund of your ticket money. When he saw the wrist bands that they had on he blanched. Who is your father he asked? My father he is Patrick Sullivan, why do you ask? I just noticed which wrist band you have. Oh well you might be interested in the fact that Katie here is the daughter of Rebecca Black. Black he exclaimed!! Yes I am sure that you have heard of her family. We are very sorry for what has happened. Is there anything that we can do to make it up to you? I am not sure said Sean. I will have my father contact you. Do you have a card or something?
He handed him his card and they headed towards the ticket booth. They handed over the refund coupon and they received the money back for the tickets that they presented. Lets go now said Sean as they walked towards the fireplace that was setup in the lobby. Sean took a pinch of floo powder and threw it on the flames and called out P&E in a Pot. They found themselves flying again until they landed in Sean's house. That was lots of fun said Katie. Can we do that again? No I don't think that would be a good idea. I wish we had a fireplace and could travel like that said Katie.
When they saw Sean's mother Sean told her all about the incident on the Farris Wheel. Mrs Sullivan was quite upset for Katie. Did you get that man's name she asked? Yes I got his card. He gave it to his mother. I told him that dad would be contacting him about this.
Are you ok now she asked Katie? Yes I am fine now. I was just scared. Sean took really good care of me. You should have seen him. He acted so grown up. I think they were a little afraid of him Katie said smiling at Sean. He is my hero. Sean just blushed. I really didn't do that much. I was just so angry that they had upset Katie he said to his mother.
Well tell me what you did while you were there asked Mrs. Sullivan. Katie told her about the rides they went on and how she had beaten the older boys. She went into great detail about what she has seen in the Hogwarts display. She told her about being sorted into Gryffindor and how she wanted to be in Ravenclaw. Lastly she showed her her wand. Oh that is a nice wand Katie. I like it a lot. Now I can do magic with it. I don't think so said Mrs. Sullivan. It doesn't have a core so I don't think you will be able to do any magic with it but you can pretend until you get your own wand in a few years. I can't wait to go to Hogwarts. It looks like it would be a lot of fun and I will be able to go to school with Sean, which would be the most fun.
