Amy in The Lost Cities

Chapter 9

"I don't why you would ever want to do a thing like that." Sophie was saying . "You're gonna freak out."

" No I'm not gonna freak out. " Amy insisted. "I know how to keep my cool. Unlike some people I know." The last part was under her breath but Sophie still heard it.

" Uh uh. I can keep my cool. " Sophie protested.

"Oh really?" Amy raised her eyebrow. "What about the time when you went down the bubble to Atlantis? Or the time when-"

Her answer was cut short by Sophie saying, "Oh hush! You're still gonna yell and scream on this ride."

"Wanna bet on it? " Amy asked mischievously.

"Oh your on!" Sophie retorted back.

"If you scream or yell or even squeak, you lose and the winner gets one unlimited dare that the loser has to obey." Amy told her .

Amy stuck her hand out for Sophie to shake.

She hesitated.

"Ooooh." Amy taunted. "You afraid I'm gonna win?"

"No!"

And Sophie promptly shook Amy's hand. 

They had come to the opening to a huge ride with the most dangerous stunts.

The Councillors had felt that with everything going on, they wanted people to have fun.

Amy had really wanted to go, so Sophie had taken her to the opening.

"And now, our first person to ride, well actually two people, Sophie Ruewen/Foster, and Amy Foster!" Councillor Emery was saying.

They walked up and sat down in the chair.

It swung up and tilted dangerously on the edge.

"Be careful up there!" Called Edaline from the ground.
Amy could see that Sophie was trying very hard to not scream.

But she was confident in herself.

She had had plenty of practice in the Forbidden Cities.
Sophie never had liked taking the big rides, so Amy had an advantage.

"I think after this we should go get mallowmelt to celebrate my victory." Amy said looking at Sophie .

"You're not going to win!" Sophie looked ready to throw up.

Amy smiled devilishly.

The ride was going super sonic speeds now.

Amy laughed while Sophie looked ready to burst.

All of a sudden the ride stopped and plummeted down.

Sophie screamed.

Then suddenly Amy remembered the bet.

"I won!" She yelled triumphantly as they were plummeting down.

"Who cares! We're gonna die!" Yelled Sophie looking ready to cry.

Amy laughed so hard tears were dripping down her cheeks.

"You're hysterical you know that right?" Amy asked still laughing .

Sophie grunted.

The chair jolted forward back to the station.

"How was it?" Asked spectators.

"Amazing!" Said Amy hopping out of the chair.

Meanwhile Sophie was practically crawling out of the chair.

Amy giggled.

Sophie glared at her, daggers shooting out of her eyes.

"Never go on that ride." She whispered .

"Oh don't listen to her! The ride was AMAZING!" Amy said enthusiastically .

People clammered around her soaring questions about it.
It was practically like she was a celebrity!

Wow. Thought Amy giddily.

She answered their questions best as she could then Sophie steered her to the apartment.

"I still have that dare." Amy said when they got to her room.

Sophie turned pale.

Amy giggled.

"I dare you to, tell Keefe that you like him." Amy said.

Sophie relaxed. "I don't like him so it's not at all bad."

"Ya but then he'll you do and he'll tell you he likes you then you'll be boyfriend and girlfriend or just before he would start to tell you that he likes you, you'll tell him that it was a date and hurt his feelings. " Amy finished.

"But." Sputtered Sophie . "I can't do that to Keefe!"

"Oh but you do." Amy said crossing her arms across her chest.

She was not letting Sophie back out of this.

"But, what about Keefe?" Sophie asked. " I'll break his heart! "
"No you won't." Said Amy firmly. " you like him so you're not going to hurt his feelings. "

"But I can't!" Sophie whined.

"You can and you will."

When they go to the Shores of Solace, Sophie looked pale and sweaty.

"Seriously, you can face the Neverseen, but can't tell a boy you like him?" Amy shook her head.

"But I don't like him." Sophie hissed.

"Oh yes you do! You just don't know it." Amy said pushing the door bell.

Keefe opened it and smirked.

"What you couldn't stay away too long? Don't worry Foster I'm here." Keefe said .

"Ha hi." Sophie stuttered.

" Woah I'm feeling some intense fear. " Keefe said fanning the air. "Something wrong?"

" No. " I said quickly. "She's just worried about my parents."

Keefe nodded.

We went inside and sat down in his room.

"So what brings you here Foster?" Keefe asked plopping down on his bed.

"Uhh." Sophie didn't know what to say.

if she wasn't going to tell him herself then she had to step in.

"Sophie has something to tell you." Amy said looking at Sophie .

She turned white.

"I'm feeling some dread." Keefe said. "You okay?"

Sophie managed a nervous laugh. "Or course!"

I sighed.

"Aww come on! What is it?" A giant ogre came out of the closet.

I jumped.

"No-nothing" Sophie said looking anywhere but the ogre.

"Hey Ro don't tease Foster." Keefe said. " That's my job. "

I looked at the clock.

Amy groaned.

"We have to go now." Amy said standing up shooting a look at Sophie that said, your not getting out of this that easily.

Sophie relaxed.

As they were walking out of the door Amy whispered, "I'm going to make sure that you tell him."

Sophie just held her crystal up to the sun and took her back to the apartment.

I know that this isn't in the book, but I couldn't resist! Sophie and Keefe are meant to be. So having Amy on Team Foster-Keefe helps.
