Blair pulled Jim's hand, tugging him through the gates to the State Fair.  "Come on, man.  We only have a few hours before I need to be back for class tonight.  I want to ride as many rides as I can."

Jim rolled his eyes, not sure how he got himself talking into coming to a fair.  He hadn't been to one of these since… Oh man, he hadn't thought of this before.  Not since before his mother left.  Wow.

Succumbing to the knowledge that there was no way he was getting out of this, he followed Blair.  Really, it wasn't that bad.  Sandburg looked like he was having a lot of fun, literally bouncing whenever he stood still - now there's an oxymoron for ya.

First was the haunted house.  Then the roller coaster.  Both ended up being a test of his abilities.  Even though Blair was acting like a 12 year old kid, Jim knew he was still under a microscope, constantly being observed to see how he reacted to the various stimuli.  His solution - turn everything *way* down.

After riding any number of rides, Blair finally asked what he wanted to do.  He looked around the various rides when he saw what he thought would be a nice relaxing ride.  Across the fairgrounds was a ferris wheel - one were each seating was enclosed.  Shoving his hands in his pockets, he set off at a determined pace, Blair following closely behind.

Jim handed over the tickets for 2 people, and proceeded to climb into the little cage.  Blair hesitated a moment then joined him.  "Jim, are you really sure about this?  I mean, this goes up pretty high."

Arching a brow, "Like the rollercoaster didn't get high?"

"Well yeah.  But we were going really fast, and I didn't have enough time to realize I was up high.  This…"  he gestured around them, "this is slow - I'll be dwelling on it the whole time."

"Get in Chief.  This is my choice."

Sighing heavily, Blair settled in, and Jim secured them into place.

Slowly, one by one, the cages were filled and the wheel started to go around.  Jim was lulled by the gentle swing of the caged seat.  Looking over, he saw that Blair was holding on tight.  "Loosen up Blair.  Enjoy the ride."

Blair snorted.  "Easy for you to say."

He was ready to laugh until he felt the wheel jerk, then come to a rest.  He had assumed that the ride was over, and decided to enjoy the view.  After a few minutes, he realized that the machine hadn't moved yet.  Turning up his hearing, he could hear the slightly panicked whispers of the workers.
