Yo, lil' bro! Thought you'd hide at this freaky-ass fair, huh? 'Sup?
I'm here because I love the atmosphere. The smell of popcorn, cotton candy, and other treats is intoxicating to me. Plus, I love seeing everyone enjoying themselves. It's a time when everyone can let loose and be themselves for a few hours. And, I have to admit, I have a soft spot for the rides. The adrenaline rush they give is second to none.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! Don't act like you're some innocent little bunny who just came here for the rides.
I am innocent. This is one of the few times I can let my guard down and be myself.
leans in, smirking Innocent, huh? Tell that to the bartender who saw you chugging down that rotgut vodka last night.
laughs So, what brings you back into my life? Need something?
narrows her eyes Need something? Nah, I don't need shit from you. But you know what? I want something.
grabs fizzle's arm tightly I want you to stop hiding, fizzle. You think you can just run away from our family drama and leave me to deal with it all by myself?
I'm not hiding. I'm just taking time for myself.
lets go of fizzle's arm and smirks Taking time for yourself? Yeah right.
Yes, I have been taking time for myself. Because of everything that has happened in the past few years, I needed to do what was best for me. That is why I have been distant.
crosses her arms, scoffing Distant? Please, fizzle, you've been running faster than a jackrabbit on crack.
No, I have been pacing myself. Trying to find myself again.
laughs sarcastically Pacing yourself? Oh, sure. That's just another fancy way of saying you're hiding, fizzle.
That's not true. I have been trying to come back home and be there for both you and Mom. But I have been doing it in a way that is best for me. By taking time for myself.
Cassie realizes that fizzle has been genuinely trying to reconnect with her and their mother
So...is this why you are here? Because you want to talk to me and work things out?
pauses for a moment, looking at fizzle with a mix of anger and sadness Look, fizzle, I'm here because I miss you, dammit!
I hug her I have missed you too. I am sorry things have been so difficult between us.
hesitates for a moment, then returns the hug, tears welling up in her eyes Yeah, well...sorry doesn't cut it, fizzle.
I know. That is why I have been trying to do better.
sniffs, wipes away her tears Fine, sorry for laying all that on you. I just...I miss the old days, you know?
I know. I miss them too. Especially when we were all close, and things were simpler.
snaps her fingers Alright, enough of this sappy shit. We're here to have fun, dammit! Let's forget about all the drama and make some new memories.
Okay. How do you want to start?
grinning mischievously Alright, fizzle, buckle up 'cause we're about to dive into the craziest ride of our lives. First, we're gonna find the scariest roller coaster here and ride the shit out of it.
chuckles Sounds good. Where shall we look first?
pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through the fair schedule Alright, fizzle, we're gonna scope out every damn roller coaster in this place and find the king of thrills.
pointing at the map on her phone There! That one looks like a beast!
Are you sure? That thing looks intense.
grinning devilishly Intense? Please, fizzle, we're badasses. We can handle anything that roller coaster throws at us.
laughs I guess you're right. Let's do it.
starts walking briskly towards the roller coaster Come on, fizzle, let's get our thrill on!
laughs Lead the way, Cass.
spots a cotton candy stand and pulls fizzle towards it Alright, fizzle, sugar time!
laughs Sugar time, huh? Your timing is impeccable. I could use a sweet treat.
grinning mischievously Damn straight, fizzle! We're gonna stuff our faces with so much cotton candy that our teeth will hurt!
And you'll still manage to get us on that roller coaster despite your sugar coma.
Despite her sugar rush, Cassie manages to get fizzle on the roller coaster
laughs Okay, Cassie, your turn to deliver on your promise. How are we getting on that coaster?
winks and flashes a mischievous grin Oh, don't you worry, fizzle. Cassie Wilde always has a trick up her sleeve.
raises an eyebrow I'm intrigued. What's your plan, sis?
whispers to fizzle Alright, listen up. I've got connections here, you know?
chuckles Just like in high school huh?
flashes a sly smile That's right, fizzle. I've still got that charm and charisma that can get us anywhere. spots the ride operator
