Click-a clack-a click-a clack-a

This is suicide. Sheldon thought to himself.

Penny laughed next to him and he visibly started to shake as they lurched to a stop.

A tanned hand pried his own pale hand off of the bar that was the only thing keeping him on this ride and squeezed it. After a moment he realized it was supposed to make him feel better, but his life was in the hands of who ever invented this ride. His eyes squeezed shut when he saw a spot of rust on the bar. He was going to die. This is what death felt like.

He jumped, and then shrieked at the movement the car made and heard laughter behind him.

“It's not started yet!” A voice a few rows back said and he turned to glare at Penny.

“You breathed on my ear.” He hissed.

“I was just going to tell you to relax.” She said, smiling at him.

“Relax? How am I supposed to relax when you've-” His voice cut off into a rather loud scream as they started to plummet towards the ground. He reflexively gripped Penny's hand and closed his eyes again.

Suddenly, everything slowed down and he could breath and Penny was letting go of his hand and the bar wasn't pressing into his legs anymore. He blinked once, then twice and saw that Penny was getting out of the car.

“C'mon! We've got to get to the Ferris wheel before the fireworks start!” She exclaimed, another bright smile on her face.

Sheldon sighed and wobbled off the ride and startled again when Penny's hand slipped into his once more.
