“Why are we here again?” Kimberly complained like a whiny twelve-year-old.

“Because I can’t go home and my appointment with the esteemed Ms. Bradshaw isn’t for another three hours,” Michiko told her, munching popcorn. “I’m bored.”

Kimberly was walking arm-in-arm with Shawna on a bright and beautiful day. After her bath, Michiko had taken a two-hour nap, eaten enough to feed an army then lasted about thirty minutes before she’d dragged the two women from the house.

“But why are we here?” Kimberly wanted to know. She detested carnivals. Give her Disneyland or Universal any day, but carnivals?

They walked by a couple of tents where two carnies were heavily necking as kids ran and played all around them. No, no, thank you.

“Oh look! A zipper!” Michiko exclaimed and Kimberly felt the hot dog she’d just eaten roll in her belly.

“Well, have fun on that,” she told her, and Shawna giggled.

“You’re coming with me,” Michiko declared.

“The hell I am,” Kimberly declared right back. The hog dog did a double flip. “You have no idea what you’re asking me.”

“You really don’t,” Shawna agreed. Like a solid bestie, she had her back and Kimberly wanted to kiss her in gratitude.

Michiko put her hands on her hips and glared. “Look at the two of you, standing there like a couple of schoolgirls from the fifties. Are we women of the new age, or what? Get your ass on this ride with me, lady, before I kick it. We’re supposed to be bonding, aren’t we? Or would you rather we knit?”

Kimberly scrunched up her face. Bitch. “You know what?” she grumbled and snatched the tickets from Michiko’s outstretched hand. “I would rather we knit, so there.”

As she climbed into the rusty cage, it wobbled, and she cried out.

“Oh my God, you big baby.” Michiko laughed and scooched in next to her. “We aren’t even in yet. You crack me up, you know that? How in the hell can you face down bad guys but not a carnival ride?”

“The bad guys hijacked me and made me face them.” Kimberly gulped and closed her eyes when the cage swayed taking on another set of passengers. “Just like you’re doing to me now!”

The zipper suddenly swooped up and forward with a huge gust of speed. Michiko whooped; Kimberly screamed.

There was a bar that stretched across the front of the cage that had a loop in its center. Michiko grabbed on and when the ride came to another dizzying loop, she yanked that thing with all her might and sent the car spinning. While Michiko’s laughter rang like bells, Kimberly’s screams rang like a tornado warning.

“Oh my God! Stop that! Stop!” she pleaded with Michiko. “I’m gonna barf! I’m gonna puke!”

But Michiko either didn’t believe her, didn’t hear her, or didn’t care because she kept yanking on that ring, and that damn cage kept twirling like a broken washing machine and everything Kimberly had eaten in the last decade started lining up for a reunion.

Michiko yanked back and they flipped in two backward turns that had her hair in Kimberly’s open and gasping mouth.
