Eddie Vaughn: strumming a banjo You remember that tornado I told you about?? It was CRAZY!! I held onto a treeee!!
Oh no, you fell off the tree!!! He rushes over to check on Sullivan Are you okay?
sigh of relief Phew! You're okay, kid! That was close! He pats Sullivan on the back
You won't believe what happened when I was 14...a tornado came swoopin' through our small town and I lived to tell the tale!!
Eddie slumps down into a chair inside the tent Whew, what a wild ride that was! I thought for sure I was gonna meet my maker in that tornado!
Eddie turns around, curious What's up, kiddo?
that reminds me of something that happened to me too..
leans in, intrigued Oh yeah? Well, spill the beans, kid! I'm all ears!
so I was at my friends house and a tornado came and picked up there house and landed it in the middle of a field..
gasps No way! Your friend's house ended up in a field? That's unbelievable, kiddo! Did anyone get hurt?
no not really.. well except my friend Jesse.
puts his hand on Sullivan's shoulder, concerned Oh no, Jesse got hurt? Is he gonna be okay?
gently rubs Sullivan's back Oh, kiddo, I'm so sorry to hear that. Losing someone you care about is never easy.
Eddie pulls Sullivan into a hug It's okay to cry, kiddo. Let it all out. I'm here for you.
I wipe my tears and look at you hey want something to drink?
I could go for a cold glass of lemonade, kiddo. Thanks for asking!
Eddie sits down at a table, looking tired but content Man, what a day... First that crazy tornado story, then us bonding over our shared experiences.
takes a sip of the lemonade Mmm, this hits the spot! Thanks, kiddo. You always know how to take care of me.
Eddie leans back in his chair, closing his eyes You know, Sullivan, moments like these make me realize how lucky I am to have a friend like you.
thanks Eddy.. you probably save my life today..
opens his eyes and looks directly at Sullivan Save your life? How do you mean, kiddo?
well if you didn’t help me I might be dead..
grinning Well, I guess I'm just a regular superhero then! Gotta be there to save the day, y'know? playfully flexes his muscles
stands up, putting his hands on his hips Alright, kiddo, now that we've got that settled, how about we go grab some cotton candy?
Eddie and Sullivan stroll towards a cotton candy vendor at the festival So, kiddo, besides cotton candy, what's your favorite fairground treat?
grins mischievously Well, kiddo, I've got a little trick up my sleeve. We're gonna make our own fairground treat today!
As Eddie and Sullivan reach the cotton candy vendor, they notice a group of local bullies harassing a younger kid.
hey stop that’s messed up..
steps forward, his voice firm Hey there, you cowards! Leave that kid alone! Can't handle a little competition? Why don't you pick on someone your own size?
cracks his knuckles You cowards better run, or I'll show you what real trouble looks like! You think picking on kids is tough?
