Mikan's Pov:
I wake up to see Ibuki at the foot of my bed with my throw blanket on her, but only on he chest to hips. "I-Ibuki?" I tap her, remembering last night, I'll try to act like nothing happened. "Mmmnn, Good morning." Ibuki says tiredly. Wow, I feel like she'd be just as hyper as ever when waking up, just as I think that she shoots up. "Today is the last day to go to the carnival!" Ibuki exclaims. "I-I know, did you want to go?" I ask. "I mean, I went a lot already, but have you?" Ibuki asks me. Actually I've only been to a carnival a couple times with friends, sadly never family. "Not in a while, no." I reply. She runs into my bathroom and comes out with a brush and begins brushing my hair. "We should go together!" she shouts. "R-really? That would b-be c-cool!" I say. It sounds exciting, I wonder if I'm still afraid of how tall the ferris wheel is or the small roller coasters, come to think of it I never really liked the rides. Oh jeez, I bet Ibuki loved fast spinny rides, I don't want to ruin it for her! "A-actually, I have h-homework I n-need to d-do." I stutter. Honestly I want to go, but I don't want to ruin it for it. "The homework was to clean your room, and your's is spotless! You're coming with!" Ibuki demands. I burst into tears "I-I don't want to r-ruin it for you!" I say through sobs. "Why would you ruin it?" she stops brushing my hair and turns to look me in the eyes. "Y-you obviously *hic* like the rides a-and I don't s-so you would haft to deal with *hic* screaming and crying me o-or *hic* boring games!" I really want to make Ibuki feel good that she knew she wouldn't need to take me with, but I made her upset. "Ibuki is okay with carnival games! Rides shall be un-touched!" she said softly bopping my head with the bristle part of the brush. I nod, get up and change and the daily routine, you know.

We head out the door and as we pass over the bridge we see the huge ferris wheel, I shiver at the thought of how high it is.. "It's okay, Ibuki doesn't like heights either." Ibuki said then put her arm around my shoulder. Once we got there you could smell the funnel cakes, hot dogs, ice cream, and other carnival food. "The rides or games aren't open yet, wanna get some ice cream?" Ibuki suggests which I nod in agreement to. Ibuki got the superman ice cream, while I got strawberry. I'm a pretty messy eater to be honest, so of course I get it all over my face by the time I'm done. "Mikan, there's ice cream all over your face!" Ibuki exclaims pulling a napkin out of her pocket and getting everywhere but my nose, she licked a tiny bit off my nose and wiped the rest off. I'm sitting there trying to process what happened, "I-Ibuk!" I shout. She giggled "Sorry Mikan!" I should've got strawberry, this "superman" stuff is kinda gross." She says as she try's to shoot a hoop from our seat to the garbage with her ice cream, surprisingly she makes it. "Wow, look at the time! The rides are open-" Ibuki stops herself knowing I didn't want to go on rides "Can we at least go on the spinny swings? I promise they're not high or that fast." Ibuki begged (It's those swings that literally just spin idk how to explain it)O-oh, I actually l-like that one." I say. What if she keeps doing this, asking if we can go on more and more rides, actually that wouldn't be to bad... I could get used to them, one a bit scarier than the last, no! I really hate scary rides! Ibuki grabs my hand, scaring me into dropping my ice cream and dragging me to the swings. We get on a double one so we'd be sitting together, I suggest this because I'm always a little scared. I clip my seat belt thing and Ibuki does the same and smiles at me.The ride starts to move forward, I get more nervous and nervous the higher is goes. "It's okay, we're only going to get like 10ft in the air, it isn't that high." Ibuki assures me. That made me feel better about the situation. Because I'm a nurse I can tell how many feet in the air we are just by looking, we're at 12ft. I start to panic inside, I guess a little on outside because Ibuki looks at me, says nothing then turns away. I knew she was annoyed....wait no, she grabbed my hand, maybe to make me calm down or think about something else. I turn to her, she's still staring out into the gate since we're on the outside end.      She turns to me and smiles"You can squeeze my hand if it makes you feel better." I let go of her hand and say "I-I'm not scared!" I yell. The ride stops and we get off, I almost fall of dizziness. "You were so brave Mikan!" Ibuki tells me, this makes me blush a bit. "I know you didn't like that one too much, so how about I win you something!" She offers, well more like demands I say yes. "N-no it's o-ka-" I get cut off by noticing Ibuki isn't there! "I-Ibuki!?" I yell for her. I go off looking for her, by the roller coasters, the games, and the food area! I break down into tears "I-I checked everywhere...s-she probably just left me and went home!" I cry to my self
"lbuki could never!"

I look up and see Ibuki with two cotton candies and a dog plushie "I said I was going to win you something, so here!" She hands me the dog plushie. "Y-you can't just *sob* run off like that!" I yell. "I know, sorry. The fair is about to close, we should head home." she says. She is true, the sky is getting darker. I get up and Ibuki hands me a cotton candy "I haven't had cotton candy in years!" I say rather loudly "S-sorry, that was loud." I apologize "Honestly you should be more LOUD!" Ibuki yells pretty loud when she says that actually "No thanks.." I giggle. Ibuki takes my hand and we walk out of the carnival together, but I stop her. "I-Ibuki!" come on Mikan, she likes you too, you won't get rejected this time! "I think I-I-I like y-yo-you!" I finally spit it out. "I know." Ibuki continues walking while eat her cotton candy "W-what do you mean you know?" I didn't expect a straight answer, and I don't, but Ibuki just lightly kissed my lips for a second making me blush like crazy. "I-Ibuki, quit it o-out!" "Ibuki is no quit-er!" she yells very cheerly as I just turn away to hide my flustered face.
