"What?" asked Summer.
"The power's gone. We're stuck up here. Probaly for a long time," said Jewel, her shoulders sagging.
"Perfect," said Scott sarcasticly, sitting back.
Just then, lightning lit up the sky and thunder shook the air at the same time.
"Oh shit! That's right above us," said Jewel, her voice shaking. Summer put her arm around Jewel. "I hate lightning," she wimpered.
"Why don't you like it?" asked Dave.
"When I was 10, lightning hit the phone poll outside my house right in front of my eyes. "I'm always scared it's going to hit me," explained Jewel.
"Don't worry, it won't hit us," said Scott.
Jewel gave him the 'look'. "Here we are on the tallest ride in the Stampede, in the middle of a thunderstrom and you're saying don't worry?"
Scott thought a moment. "Yah," he said. Jewel gave him a dirty look.
Lightning and thunder continued to shatter the sky. Soon, it started to rain.
"It's a good thing we have a top on this ride," said Scott, watching the lightning.
"For sure," said Jewel, pulling out Summer's jackets out of her backpack.
"Man, I hope this doesn't last much longer. I'm getting hungry," said Dave. Jewel dug around in her backpack and tossed him a granola bar. "Thanks. What else do you have in that thing?" Dave asked.
Jewel looking down into it. "Well, it did have our jackets, a box of granola bar, two water bottles, extra money and an umbrella," she said.
"Wow. You're sure prepared," said Scott.
"Years of coming to the Stampede has taught me what to bring," smiled Jewel.
"No wonder we're hungry. It's 1:23 and we havn't eaten since breakfast," said Dave.
"Well, it's raining so hard that it won't last long," said Summer.
Sure anough, 5 minutes later, the rain stopped.
"Can I predict stuff or what?" asked Summer, smiling.
"You sure predict better than Scott, that's for sure," laughed Jewel. They all laughed.
Just then, the ferris wheel shuddered and started moving again.
"Alright," said Jewel, releif flodding her voice.
"Back to solid ground. I can't wait," joked Dave.
A few minutes later, they hopped off the ferris wheel.
"Remind me not to go on a ferris wheel for a while," said Jewel.
Clint and Bob came running up to them.
"You guys ok?" asked Bob.
"We will be once we get some food," said Scott.
"I'll second that," said Summer.
"This way is the quickest way to food," said Jewel pointing.
They were all off like a shot.
