"Oh, alright!" Aislinn beamed, holding on to his hand as they both walked to the amusement park. She was soon entranced by the lights and the giant wheel that seemed to be carrying lots of people. "Isn't that dangerous?" Ice asked, pointing at it.

Aster didn't seem to have a problem holding her hand. He blinked at her words and glanced up at the large ride. "Oh...the ferris wheel? It's safe as long as the weight limit isn't exceeded. The ride operators here make sure it's safe...so, do you see anything that catches your interest?"

"Well..." Aislinn's eyes scanned the whole crowd and then she saw a person holding some sort of giant hammer. She saw him bring it down on a metal plate. She jumped hearing a loud 'ding'! "What's that?" Ice asked.

"Oh...that tests strength. You pay to hit the metal plate with that mallet...hit it as hard as you possibly can," Aster informed her, studying the tall machine. "If you hit it hard enough, you get one of the prizes displayed there..."

"Oooh! A big cuddly bear!" Aislinn squealed, looking at the prizes. "I want to try it!" She said, tugging on his shirt. Ice practically raced for the huge mallet. The tall machine's owner guffawed when she came up and held the handle of the mallet. "Don't you think you're a little bit...Oh, I don't know...weak for this?" He said, which fueled Ice even more. She took a deep breath, and for a while, the crystal that she wore gave a hum. Pulling the mallet over her head, she let it down with a slam. Once she heard a 'ping', the trance was broken. Her arms felt like jelly. "Wha- Did I win?"

Aster watched her with astonishment. Then, he paid the man for the go at the tower and grabbed the bear she had been looking at. "Yeah...here, take it." He held the bear out. "It's yours--you earned it!"

Aislinn had a hard time holding up the bear. But a while after, she was able to bury her face in it. "I never had one of these before. I don't think it would be cuddly underwater. It would get all wet." She said, laughter in her eyes.
