((......I've never been on one either, but I'll give it a shot, XP))
Drake smiled and nodded. Suddenly, there was a whirl of gears and the bungie cords started to raise, but the cage didn't. It must've been hooked by a remote-actived release clamp. "I think I now know why they call it 'the slingshot.'"

Ayras eyes went wide with terror and exitement. "Lets hope this ball cage thing is hooked tightly to those bungee cords" she murmured, a little nervously.

Drake chuckled. "If it wasn't, would they have it open to the public?"

Ayra frowned. "I guess you DO have a point there..." she trailed as she heard the machines starting to rev louder as they the cords longer so they stretched. Ayra made a little gasp of terror mixed with exitement. "Well... this should be fun" she gasped a little sarcastically

Drake laughed, the heard a click. The cords have reached the top of the poles. Then, there was a 'clink' from the bottom of the cage. Suddenly, the cage flung upwards. Drake yelled in excitement.
((Bleh))

as the wind rushed past Ayra and streamed through her hair, her eyes went wide with terror and exitment and let out a yell to show it. she laughed as she stopped in the air and felt herself rise out of her seat. "We are going to go down!" Ayra yelled at Drake

Drake laughed. "Hold on!" Then cage, with gravity taking control, started to drop fast, but, with the bungie cords tightened abit, the cage went up again. After a few more bounces, the ride was over. The cage was lowered and the door opened. "That was fun," Drake said happily as he got the harness off of him.

When the man signaled to Drake and Ayra to get off, Ayra scrambled up, nervously pressing her hair flat again to her head and smiled a shaky thank you to him. The man nodded, smiling slightly and signalled for the next group to get into the ride of their death. Ayra looked around off of the rides platform, trying to find Drake, whom she had lost track of when she had thanked the operator of the ride. Ayra sighed and looked around more as she walked down the metal stairs. "Drake?" she called, trying to look above the heads of the crouds to find the gigantic form of her feonce. Ayra stopped at the base of the stairs, calling Drakes name out again

Drake was hiding behind the stairs. When Ayra was at the bottom of the steps, he jumped out from behind them and yelled," BOO!"

Ayras instinct kicked in as Drake surprised her. She rolled down ad twirled her legs so that she tripped Drake before her brain could even guess at who the voice could have been. Ayra got back up and whirled around to stance at the threat, or the threat in her subconscious. She stared at Drake, dumbfounded. "SORRY!" she squeeked loudly.

This wasn't the reaction he was expecting. He fell with a thud. But he just sat up and laughed. "I'm ok Ayra." He then stood and brushed himself off. "Come on. Let's go get our statuettes."

Ayra shook her head to wipe off the event. She smiled sorrily at Drake and helped him up, nodding at the idea of getting out of the croud. "I cant wait to see what they will look like!" she said exitedly

Drake smiled and gently held her hand as they walked to the booth where the Honoo family made the jewerly and figureines [sp?]
((I hope I got the name right, XD))

((haha yeah you did and figurines... no '''E''' ))
Ayra sighed and let Drake pull her along, not minding someone leading her for once. The family was still in the back tent, by the sound of it, intently working. Ayra looked around at the other things they had made while she and Drake waited patiently for them to get done.
The woman must have seen their shadow, because she popped her head out of the tents flap and smiled apologetically over to the couple. "Sorry, we are all working as hard as we can and as fast as we can to get your order in. " She told them. "We just want them to be perfect"
Ayra smiled back. "Take your time, there is no need to rush... we really arent in a hurry. We are just taking a small break from the rides." She answered. That seemed to calm the elderly womans worries, because she sighed and nodded and turned back into the tent.

"Hmmm, how about one more booth game to pass the time," Drake suggested.
((XDDD))

Ayra smiled at him. "Okay, lead the way." She said, laughing a little.

Drake smiled and went towards another booth. This booth had many bottles cluttered togather. There were people throwing rings toward the bottle, appearently trying to catch a ring on a bottle. "What about that one," Drake asked, pointing to the booth.

Drake smiled and walked over to the booth. The man at the booth looked up at Drake, and had wide eyes. "Holy cow, you're tall!" Drake sighed," yes I know. Now how much is it to play?" The man shook his head, at this time of night, its free." He placed three rings in front of Drake and Ayra. "Here you are."

Ayra cocked her head, but took the rings. "Thank you." she said with a little effort. it was hard for her to pronounce 'thank you' because she was still getting used to not saying 'grazia'
