Then Rose led the group to the second ride, the Drop Tower, which was the second safest ride. The Drop Tower stood 50 feet high in the sky. Annie, having faced her fear on the previous ride, wasn't that scared this time. Rose looked at Annie with excitement.
Rose: "Are you ready? This ride is more intense than the last one [https://img.wattpad.com/880224fd93931a3fe68acd680c84d206ba6acde5/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f756d76714b59636c3251534265673d3d2d313436333739363031312e313765343761376136383262343962393530323130343739313430392e706e67?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Rose: "Are you ready? This ride is more intense than the last one..." Rose said, her tone both warning and cheeky.
Annie: "I'm sure! I can do this... I mean, what could go wrong?" At that moment, she knew... she had messed up.
Bell: "Bitch, look at the warning sign!"
Warning Sign: This may cause extreme trauma and headaches.
Annie didn't listen to Bell and started walking on the ride with too much confidence. This time, they were all seated together as a group, with Annie between John and Clark.
John: "You seem too confident for this ride... which you shouldn't be."
Annie looked confused. Annie: "Why not? I thought confidence was a good thing..."
Clark: "Not on this ride..."
Annie was going to ask more, but the ride started! It ascended to 20 feet and then dropped suddenly.
Annie: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Tina was crying like a little girl, Rose's scream was one of joy for some weird reason, John made a funny scared face instead of screaming, and Darren was smiling and laughing loudly. At the same time, Clark's expression was hidden behind his mask. The tower then rose to 35 feet in the air.
Annie: "Is it over—?!" Annie screamed again as the tower dropped. This repeated for 23 seconds.
Rose: "Oh my gosh, here comes the scary part!" Annie was even more afraid as the tower reached its limit and quickly went up and down ten times. Annie felt exhausted and almost passed out. As the ride slowed, the seats detached, and they descended with parachutes, landing on a soft surface. Annie lay there, her legs and mind shaking.
Darren: "Annie, are you okay?" Darren asked as he gently shook Annie.
Clark sighed. Clark: "I guess this was due to her overconfidence... Micheal, carry her. We're going to eat now." Micheal gently placed Annie on his shoulders and started heading to the park's food area. When they reached the spot, Annie slowly woke up on Micheal's shoulder.
Annie: "Let me go! I have legs!" Annie demanded, but Micheal ignored her.
Micheal: "No can do, little girl..."
Annie: "This is seriously stupid..."
Micheal just rolled his eyes and continued to carry Annie as she acted stubborn and cranky. Later, the group settled at a table.
Micheal: "What should we get?" Micheal asked, Annie still on his shoulders.
Clark: "Order anything you want... Here..." Clark handed each of them $100.Clark: "You can keep the change for all I care... Also, Micheal, bring Annie down... You look honestly stupid."
Micheal put her down, and Annie quickly got off his shoulder. As they went to buy food, Clark and Darren stayed put. This was Clark's opportunity to talk to Darren properly, but Darren looked scared.
Clark: "Aren't you going to eat?" Clark asked, not looking directly at Darren to avoid frightening him.

Darren: "Umm... I would, but the line is long..." Darren said, glancing at the food stalls.
Clark: "You know you could skip the line with the VIP pass..."
Darren: "I would, but I'm scared..." Darren admitted, his voice trembling.
Clark got up and approached Darren.Clark: "I'll accompany you... Come on, let's go before the food runs out..." Clark said, offering Darren his hand.
Silas: "Looks like someone is making a move..." Silas commented with a bored expression.
Darren took Clark's hand, and they started heading to the fried chicken food stand. As they passed by the crowded line, the people waiting gave them looks of disgust and anger. Darren hid beside Clark, who held his small hand softly.

Clark: "He's so cute..." Clark muttered under his breath. As they approached the food stand, an angry Karen sprayed them with pepper-flavored ketchup. Fortunately, Clark shielded them with a string barrier, and the ketchup bounced back onto the Karen. Darren gasped at what had just happened. Clark looked at Karen with a stern expression.
Clark: "Think twice before trying to attack a VIP customer..." Clark said, holding Darren's hand tighter.
Karen: "HOW COULD YOU! I'LL CALL THE POLICE ON YOU FOR ASSAULTING ME! AND FOR CUTTING IN LINE ON THESE HUNGRY, STARVING PEOPLE!" The Karen shouted angrily as she tried to wipe the ketchup off herself. Clark rolled his eyes at her.
The two approached the front and started to order.
Cashier: "Hello, sir! Is there anything we can get you?" The cashier asked, sweating from the overwhelming orders.
Clark: "One two-piece lemon chicken, one two-piece garlic chicken, and two ube milkshakes..." Clark said, handing the cashier a full $100 bill. Clark: "Keep the change..."
The cashier smiled happily. Cashier: "Thank you so much, sir! Your order will be ready in about ten minutes!" The cashier said, taking the cash happily. The customers who had been waiting got mad, and the Karen spoke again.
Karen: "That's unfair! I had to wait 40 minutes just to order my food and another 30 minutes to get it! This is unfair!" The Karen screamed at the cashier and at Clark and Darren. The Karen, now furious, threw a whole chair at them! Darren and the cashier's eyes widened in shock. But Clark used his magic to create a huge ring barrier, covering the whole stand and themselves. The chair bounced high and landed on the angry Karen's table, splattering her food all over her face.
Clark: "Think again before crossing me, old hag!" Clark said coldly and harshly.
The people around them gasped and started recording what was happening. Their food was ready quickly, and Clark got the food while the Karen ran off somewhere. Clark and Darren went back to the table, where the food looked absolutely mouth-watering.
Annie: "What just happened?" Annie asked while eating some kwek-kwek and some rice.

John: "Yeah, what happened? It's probably something crazy..." John said, eating some steak.
Clark: "Some crazy Karen tried to attack us, so I used self-defense [https://img.wattpad.com/7d5c742ec10f869e8875bf7cceac44f7047ec98b/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f7751453651484d62486c516c57413d3d2d313436333739363031312e313765343762343466633531363535373432323533333930303836332e706e67?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Clark: "Some crazy Karen tried to attack us, so I used self-defense..." Clark said, taking a bite of his chicken.
Tina: "What's next on the list?" Tina asked, eating some caviar and salmon salad.

Rose: "Let's see... I think after this food trip, we should go to the night market." Rose said, looking at the map while eating some lava cake.
Darren had a fun, brilliant idea. Darren: "I know! We should do a gift exchange!"
The others liked the idea, except for one.
Tina: "That's stupid... We don't know the both of you guys..." Tina said sternly to Darren.
Darren: "But it will be fun and—" Tina cut Darren off.
Tina: "That's bullshit!" Tina snapped at Darren.
Clark was about to snap, but Annie could not take Tina's bratty attitude any longer. Annie slammed the table with her fist, surprising everyone, and pointed at Tina with her plastic fork.
