Chapter 69 - Riding The Dragon (1/2)

I nearly bounce with excitement as we finally climb onto the ride. Bai Lei follows me with caution but he carefully follows my every action. I reach up and pull the safety restraints down over my head and carefully latch the buckle between my legs.

Bai Lei does the same after watching me.  My stomach starts to flip in excitement as the ride quickly fills up. Haha... I'm gonna buy the pictures for this ride... his face will be priceless! The workers come by and check the restraints before quickly moving to the next person. I swing my feet back and forth in happiness as they freely hang in the air.

My smile slightly falters... The guy behind the control panel comes on over the speakers telling all of us to have a fun time as the ride jerks forward in a slow crawl. I look up as my brain suddenly starts making all the connections.

The restraints come down over us completely holding us in... our feet are hanging... does this ride flip!? I can barely handle a normal roller coaster... I really can't handle the ones that flip!! I look over to Bai Lei in panic only to see him watching me with a slight smirk.

”Don't tell me you're suddenly scared...” He says with a dark grin. I swallow hard as I mentally kick myself... I knew it was a new ride... but I never bothered to check what kind of ride it actually was! I was so eager to screw him over... I screwed myself over!!

What makes all of this so much worse... We're sitting in the very front! The ride jerks again as it slowly starts climbing up the steep incline. My heart races in panic as I look back over to Bai Lei. His smile was now full-blown as he says ”It can't be that bad! There are even kids riding this.”

I bust out in a nervous laugh as I say ”You have no idea...” Bai Lei's smile slightly falters as the ride reaches the very top. My heart nearly stops when I see how far the drop is... To make it worse, the ride spirals around as it drops!!!

I quickly reach over and grab Bai Lei's hand as I say ”I may not survive this!!!!” The ride suddenly dives down causing my stomach to flip as my ass to nearly come out of my mouth! I can't even scream!! I just clench my teeth tight and try to remember to breathe!

The ride suddenly twists to the side as in continues to dive down and disappear into an underground tunnel with bright flashing lights. ”WHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!” I scream at the top of my lungs as the ride speeds through the tunnel and back out.

It shoots up into the air before completely looping around in the air and twirling down again. When I see another three loops coming up, I nearly break down in tears! I look over to Bai Lei as we hit the first loop and nearly die from laughter.

We both hold on for dear life with a look of fear on our faces but at this point, we're both laughing at each other at the same time. I've never seen him laugh so hard! We hit the last two loops and shoot straight up into the air as the ride spirals around to a stop high up in the air.
