Hello my dear readers. I know I already said it, but I'm sooo sorry for the last chapter (because it was so short). I hope you liked it nonetheless. This chapter will be longer. Now read and enjoy and don't forget to review.^^


- June 29th in 2001:

"Hurry up, kids. The bus comes in a few minutes." The teacher shouted, already standing at the main gate. We ran to her and gathered in two rows. The teacher counted us and once we all were there we went to the bus station. Today was a journey to a big funfair. For the most children it was the first time. For me as well and I looked forward.

The sun shone and it was warm. The perfect weather for such a journey.

As we arrived at the bus station, it didn't take long until the bus came. The drive wasn't long as well.

Once we were there we got out and already heard the music of the funfair. Everyone was very excited and all children immediately ran to the main entrance. "Wait, kids. Stay there!" The teacher demanded. The children stood still.

"We have to build groups at first," she said. Instantly our class formed groups. In one group were seven children, in another nine, Matt and me were in a group with altogether six and Near had no group."No no. That doesn't work like this" The teacher said, while giving herself a facepalm. She then continued. "You have to build groups with four children in each group." Again our class built groups and this time right.

"Great. At ten o'clock so in exactly one hour we meet here again to have breakfast." The teacher told us. Then we were allowed to go around the funfair.

"Where do we go first?" I asked after a while. "Can throwing!" Matt said fast like a shot. "But I wanna got to a merry-go-round first." A boy of the group said. Me and the other child didn't care what we did first.

"Play Rock-Paper-Scissors" I suggested. Matt and the boy stood in front of each other and lifted their arms. "Rock paper scissors" They said at the same time, shaking their hands with each word. Matt threw scissors. The boy hesitated a bit and then threw rock. "Yay, I won!" He rejoiced. "No, you cheated!" Matt protested and crossed his arms.

"I decide now that we go to the Ferris weehl first!" I said slightly annoyed. I went ahead and without complaining the others followed me.

As we stood in front of the Ferris weehl we wondered how high and how big it was. The queue was long but we lined up nonetheless. To our surprise we didn't have to wait long. As our wagon was there Matt tumbled and fell into it. I knew he didn't hurt himself, so I had to resist laughing. He stood up and looked at me uncomprehending. Now I had to laugh even more. He then murmured something I didn't understand. The rest of our group got into the wagon and sat down. Then the Ferris weehl started.

After a few minutes we were on the highest point. We leaned at the rim to get a better view. "What a wonderful view. How far you can look." Matt wondered. "Oh yeah and everything is so small. The people look like ants." I agreed. Slowly and unobtrusive I moved towards Matt until I touched him. Then I laid my head on his shoulder. Matt was really comfortable and I closed my eyes. Then I slowly got tired, but I didn't know why. "Hey Mello. Don't fall asleep." Matt said, poking me. I felt it, but I didn't react. Suddenly I dozed off. My head slowly slipped from his shoulder and fell into his lap. Finally I fell asleep.

"Mello, Wake up!" Matt said, shaking me. I slowly woke up. Then I realised the Ferris weehl stood and we had to get out. I stood up and together we went ahead. I was a little embarrassed that I just fell asleep. I was glad that nobody talked about it.

Next was the merry-go-round. After that we went to Can Throwing. Nobody of us made it to knock them all down and after we all tried it the hour already was over.

the groups met at the main entrance and then we had our breakfast. "So, I would say we meet again in one and a half hour here." The teacher said. Again the groups spread across the funfair. We went to pretty everything.

suddenly we saw Near's group at stall,where you had to shoot ballons. As we went there it was Near's turn. He looked very concentrated. He then threw. He hit nine of ten ballons. He won a water pistol and was happy with it.

I also wanted to win something and went to the owner of the stall. He gave me ten darts. I took one and aimed. I made it to hit all ten ballons. Matt began to clap but stopped as he noticed he was the only one. The owner of the stall was surprised and gave me one of the first prizes. It was a huge teddy bear, nearly as high as me. I liked it and then we strolled through the funfair.

After a few minutes the teddy began to annoy me, because he was so big and unhandy. At first I hesitated but then I gripped the teddy with both my hands and hold it out to Matt. "Here. You can have it. I give it to you." I said. Matt's eyes widened and he slowly took the teddy bear. He clutched it and grinned.

The rest of the time passed very quickly. One child of our group looked at its clock and said."We should go now. Just ten minutes left." We agreed and together we went back to the main entrance. We were the first some minutes the others came as well. Most of them carried candies or toys, which they won.

Then we got to the bus station and as the bus came we drove back to the Wammy's.

As we arrived we instantly got to our classroom because we still had some hours class. The teacher talked and talked about our new subject in art. I carefully listened and every now and then made some notes, while Matt was bored.

In the next lesson the teacher looked at her notes and said,"So,kids. This year we will make a class trip." As Matt heard the word 'class trip' he immediately listened and looked towards the black board. The teacher paused a moment and then continued. " Our destination will be Dublin." Suddenly a murmur ran through the class. The teacher went through the class and gave some sheets of paper around with more information:

June 29th 2001

Dear pupils of the class 5D,

From October 3rd to october 8th in 2001 we will make a class trip to Dublin. At ten o'clock we meet at the main gate and go by a coach to Holyhead. From there we will take a ferry to Dublin.

On the second page you can find information about the things you are allowed to take with you.

For a moment I wondered where the second page was, but then I realised the teacher was already giving it around. "All that is NOT standing on the list, you are NOT allowed to bring it with you" I quickly looked at the list and was glad I could bring my chocolate with. The teacher answered the last questions and then class was over for this and me got back to our room and Matt immediately began playing his Gameboy.
