TWS Column | Rick's Adventure

It was a summer afternoon when a rat named Rick decided to go to Pleasure Pier to go on the roller coaster for the first time. Rick the rat was very nervous knowing that the roller coaster is right over the ocean!

okay, maybe not in the deep area but still Rick did not like the idea of it being over the ocean. Rick decided it was time to stop being a coward and get into the line to take a chance to see what a roller coaster is like. While he was waiting he was getting more nervous by the minute; until he seen his shadow turn towards him and said: " are you okay little buddy?" Rick looked up and seen a lion and said " um, not really I'm so nervous about going on this rollercoaster. Do you have a name sir?" The lion replied with " don't be nervous I'll be sitting right next to you and my name is Nick." After said Nick smiled down at Rick which returned the smile to him.

A little more time passed by and it was their time to get on to see how they like the adventure. Nick climbed in first then Rick and they looked at each other and said: "I hope its fun and not too scary." The ride guide spoke into the speaker saying "we launch in ten seconds." Within five seconds later he comes back on speaker saying " 5..4..3..2..1. Blast off!"

On the way up to the big arch, Rick looks at Nick and said: "please don't laugh if I scream the whole way." Nick said: "I'll try not to because that's what friends do." Next thing you know they are flying down from the arch and zooming through the roller coaster tracks. Rick is holding on for dear life while screaming like a person is trying to kill him and Nick is looking and him laughing so hard because the high pitch of the scream and the look on Rick's face.

When they get back to the pit to get off Rick climbed off so fast that Nick didn't even see him get off. Therefore, Nick yelled for Rick; which was right by him said: "yo Nick I'm right here." Nick said: "oh crap! I didn't even see you." After that, they decided to go get nacho's and talked about what happened on the roller coaster.
