 As the big, bold sign came closer and closer, and Ronald’s 

grip on her hand slightly tightened, Rikki began to panic.  

“NO! I don’t want to go on the ride Ronald!” 

Ronald just shook his head and continued to push through the 

crowd until they were standing at the end of the line.   As the 

crowd in front of them talked animatedly, Rikki just stood 

there glaring at her older brother who was now full on 

smirking at her. 

 “What was that Rikki? You don’t want to go on the roller 

coaster? Well looks like you’re too late cause were already in 

line for the Super Duper Roller Coaster!” Ronald boasts. 

Rikki just looked at the line that was slowly disappearing, 

trying to figure out how she got into this mess in the first place. 

She hated roller coasters, not that she’s ever been on one, but 

still hated them. Just looking up at the giant climb, steep drop, 

stomach twisting loops and most of all, the toe-curling screams 

of the poor victims who chose to go on the ride, made Rikki 

want to puke and run away. But Ronald had other plans. He 

knew that her sister despised roller coasters, so he, as Rikki’s 

awesome, older brother, decided he should take Rikki on the 

biggest roller coaster at the amusement park. It was a great 

idea until Rikki found out and fought through it every step to 

the long line.

Speaking of long lines, the line was now getting shorter and 

Rikki and Ronald were up next. Rikki looked pale and Ronald 

was jumping with excitement. “Ron please. I don’t think I can 

do it. Let’s just go back and eat deep fried mars bars. I can 

even pay for them!” Rikki said.

 Ron was starting to think this was a bad idea. “I’m sorry Rikki, 

I didn’t realize you really didn’t want on go on the ride. But we 

made it this far and you’ve never been on one! You might like 

it in the end! Just go on this with me and I will buy you all of 

the deep fried mars bars you want.” 

“Fine, but just once.” Ronald gave Rikki a great big smile just 

at the attendant came up and let them in. Ronald dragged 

Rikki to the very front of the Super Duper Roller Coaster. 

Before they knew it, the lap bars came down and they were on 

their way to the giant climb to the top. 

The coaster made loud ticking noises as it went up, up, up. 

With each tick, Rikki felt her panic build and her breaths 

coming out shorter. The higher they went, the more Rikki kept 

yelling in her head about how she was going to die. But still the 

coaster went higher, and higher, and slowly in came to the top 

waiting to tip. As the coaster slowly tipped over the edge, 

Rikki’s knuckles were turning white from her death grip on the 

bar. Before Rikki had the chance to scream, the ride was 

plunging down the 80 degree drop. Rikki felt her cheeks being 

pushed back and her eyes began to water. Around her she 

could see the world whipping past her and she could hear the 

loud, shrill shrieks and hollers from her brother and the other 

riders. Her stomach was filled with butterflies and with each 

drop, turn, and loop the roller coaster brought, Rikki felt her 

stomach lurch and her hair being whipped around.
