Make Sure you Are Strapped in All the way.

Author's note: We choose death as our writing circle topic and I didn't really know how to write about someone dieing that was very close to someone so I made it someone that no one knew. Hope you enjoy!

I am so excited, tomorrow my best friend Lily and I are going to six flags it is going to be the time of our lives. Lily and I have been best friends for about 5 years now and we have done everything together. We live in Brookfield Wisconsin, so it might take awhile for us to get down there so we decided to leave early in the morning, We were going to pick up Lily and her mother. I should go to bed though because it is getting late and we have to get up at the crack of dawn.

    “Alice, you have to get up it is time to get ready.” My mother said in a nice peaceful voice. RIght then I got out of bed and rushed to the kitchen to get my breakfast. I saw that there were 5 huge pancakes just for me. I grabbed the syrup and stacked each pancake on each other. Every bite I took was delicious, I couldn’t stop eating then my mom walked over.
    “What do you wanna wear too Great America? It is probably going to be hot.”
    “Um, well will you get the blue shirt, and my jean shorts?” I said while trying to wipe my face.
    “Sounds good, and make sure you wash your face off your as messy as a pig.” She said while giggling. I did as I was told and ran in the bathroom to wipe my face, and brushed my teeth while I was at it. Right when I finished brushing my teeth I dashed to my room and changed immediately. I got out of my room, and looked around to find my dog, Lucky and she was barking away. I am guessing that she just didn’t want me to leave.
    “What should I bring in the car ride?” I asked my mom while I was petting my dog.
    “Well Lily and you could sleep in the car if you guys are still tired.” she said while putting some food in a bag.
    “Okay, I’ll meet you in the car. “ I said while picking up my green blanket. I sat in the middle seat of the van. I feel like I have been sitting in the car forever then finally my mom walks out with a big bag and cooler of food. She sets the stuff in the trunk, and then walks into the front seat and starts the engine.
    “Are you feeling okay or are you just still tired?” she said while pulling out of the drive way.
    “I feel fine, but like you said I am tired.” I said. We were now on our way to pick Lily up and it only takes about 5 minutes to get to her house.
    Finally we got there and they were waiting outside, it seemed like Lily was tired too well it was 6 o’clock in the morning. Neither of us are used to getting up that early.
    “Hi Lily!” I said while she was taking her seat right next to me.
    “Hey Alice, do you know what we are going to do on the ride there?”
    “Well I am sort of tired so do you want to just take a nap?”
    “Sounds great, I am too.”
The car came to a sudden stop and I realized that I have been sleeping for the whole ride. I turned to look at Lily and she was still sleeping.
    “Wow those cars were going slower than molasses.” Mrs. Shock said while she was opening the car door.
    “Are we there mom?” I asked.
    “Yeah do you want to walk up Lily?” I turned a shook Lily lightly and told her that we were here. Her big green eyes got huge once I told her. I was excited myself too. We walked up to the ticketmaster and surprisingly it wasn’t a long line, there wasn’t a lot of people there. Anyway right away we walk over to the best ride superman. We get up to the line and there was not anyone in line. We had to wait for the other ride to come back, and for some odd reason I felt like something bad was going to happen. The people that were just on came back, and we were allowed to go on the ride then. I sat by Lily, and our mothers were right in front of us. We got all strapped in and I couldn’t turn my head to be allowed to see Lily.
    “I feel like I am not strapped in all the way.” Lily said. Right when she said that I freaked out I didn’t want her to get hurt but then again that is how the ride is supposed to feel like.
    “Will someone check our seats again.” I yelled so they could hear me. The man that was working the ride came over and made sure we both were strapped in and he said that we were fine. I felt relieved once he told us that we were fine. Suddenly the ride started to move and we were on our way. The ride was turning so much that I actually felt like I was flying! Lily and I were screaming the whole time then all a sudden there was no noise out of Lily or the person right next to Lily. I wonder what happened, why would they both become silent. Although it did start to rain and seemed like it was going to have a storm pretty soon. The ride was just about over and I was going to ask right away. We came to a complete stop and we were allowed to get off. I noticed that Lily was crying but at least I know she is safe.

“Lily why are you crying?” I said to her while looking sympathetic.

“I saw the person to me fall out of their seat, I don’t know who they are.” she claimed while looking more scared than ever. I didn’t answer, but our moms asked us what happened and she told them right away. We told the man who was working the ride to tell someone about the dead body laying in the middle of the field. We knew we had to leave because all of us were scared to go on to another ride, and it started to downpour really hard. It was very odd that it started to rain because it was suppose to be sunny the whole day but I guess the weather man isn’t always right. I was then on scared always to go on roller coasters and even though we drove for a long time it didn’t matter.
