 The bell went off yet again, and Tate let the comically sized hammer rest on the ground. He had been at the strength test for a while now, winning random people prizes. It was the least he could do, seeing as he was bored and rich and knew he could get it every time.

 “Hey, you! Which one do you want?”

was it a bad idea to come to the spring carnival alone? maybe. ariel was never really the type to think things through — or plan anything, really. fiddling with the identification card hanging from her neck, she looked around to try and find someone she at least knew. there had to be someone; at least one or two that she could hang around. in her experience, it was always awkward to start off events by yourself. and then — there. they looked familiar. rushing over to them, she tapped their shoulder and grinned, giving a little wave. hey! having fun?

 This carnival was...well, it was something. Loud and bright and weirdly pretty, and Madden hadn’t even took anything. He was just walking around with a bag of candy floss (or, well...it was cotton candy here). His usual dazed look was on his face, and a smile tugged the side of his mouth. Carnivals were his kind of place. Oh! Tea cups!

 “I should find someone to go on those with me...”

Another day at the carnival and the tall brunette was walking around, enjoying herself. Lachlan had Diablo today and part of her wondered what they were doing, but she didn’t dwell on it. She was enjoying herself as she looked around, buying a few things here and there, but mostly just sightseeing. She found a cart that served alcohol and she made her way over, buying herself a strawberry flavored margarita and a second one for whoever she wanted. Walking away from the cart, she took a sip of her drink and approached someone, lightly tapping on their shoulder before offering the drink to them. “Have a drink with me?”

                                                SIDE B - I SAW THAT

i. your day will come | son lux

      “from deep inside you, your day will come” 

this was a hard time in wendy’s life. she had been pressured to pursue a career that she wasn’t found of, and was told that writing would get her no where. after hearing those words, she ran to her room and cried. she was upset at her parents and at heself; she thought that they should’ve been supportive of her, instead of shutting her idea down. she had lost hope with her writing, but continued to do so with the help of her brothers. she decided to get back up in hopes that her day would come to show her parents what she was capable of. 

ii. youth | troye sivan

        “cause we get no time for getting old / before our bodies turn to stones / cross your fingers, here we go”

this song had a special place in wendy’s heart. back in london, she had met a boy named peter, and she knew that he was different the second that she bumped into him at school. as the year went by, they got to know each other and eventually started to date. peter had decided to surpise her by taking her out to an open field late at night to see the stars and fireflies. wendy knew that her parents wouldn’t have let her go, so peter insisted that she sneaked out, and she did. at that moment, she knew that whatever she was dealing with didn’t matter and that peter gave her a sense of what it was like to be a kid again without any worries. he had a child-like personality, and it intrigued her. 

iii. venus | sleeping at last 

        “at first i thought you were a constellation / i convinced myself that i would never find you / when suddenly i saw you”

this song serves multiple purposes for wendy. it’s stuck by her ever since she started writing, and it reminded her of when she first met peter. a lot of her stories were written because of this song. she would lock herself in her room and listen to it on repeat as she wrote and thought up of ideas. it gave her a sense of adventure, and she longed for that. she wanted to go and explore new places and engage in different cultures, but all she could do was write about them in hopes of it becoming a reality. wendy had a love for stars and the planets, and meeting someone as unique as peter made her want to know more. peter and wendy were like two puzzle pieces that were meant to fit and belong, and the whole school could see that. wendy had terrible experiences with past boys, but she had a weird feeling inside that this wasn’t going to be like any of her past relationships, and that excited her. 

iv. warrior daughter | wildwood kin 

          “ride ahead; fight for what’s yours / so take your sword; protector of them all”

wendy has always been passionate about writing/storytelling; her brothers had loved her stories she would tell them at bedtime, but her parents seemed to think just the opposite. despite the countless fights that she would have, she wouldn’t stop writing to fulfill a task that her parents didn’t get the chance to do. she wanted to make her own choices and have her parents support her along the way, but that was never the case. she stuck up for her beliefs and what she thought was right for her, even if that meant doing something that her parents disregarded. because of this song, wendy has been able to stand up for herself, no matter the situation, and be able to put herself first. 

v. i’d love to change the world | jetta 

         “i’d love to change the world / but i don’t know what to do”

whenever wendy needs a song to help bring her confidence back, this does the job. she loves how intense the instrumentals are throughout the song, and they fuel her in so many ways. this songs reminds her that she can do anything that she puts her mind to, and no matter what people say, she can change the world. wendy knows deep inside that she’s special and unique, and everyday, she’s slowly started to figure out who she truly is in order for her to change the world to the best of her ability.

[wendydarling-co-blog]

Wendy had been looking forward to attending the carnival! She had been over the moon excited since the day that she heard about it. There weren’t many carnivals back in London, but she knew that this was going to be an event that she was never going to forget. She arrived to carnival a few hours later than everyone else. As much as she would’ve liked to be one of the first, it was just as fun to be one of the last. The moment that she walked into the carnival, she was greeted with various colors of light and many wonderful smells of food. A grin formed on her face the second that she saw everything, and she knew that she had to do everything that this carnival had to offer. As Wendy walked around, she noticed a cute photobooth area, and she knew that she needed to document this event by taking some obligatory pictures. 

After 20 minutes of taking pictures with every kind of pose she could think of, she decided that it was finally time to go on a ride. It was getting late and the sun had started to set, which was Wendy’s favorite time of the day. She walked over to one of the rollercoasters with a churro in hand, and decided to wait in line. She felt a small tap on her shoulder, and she quickly turned around. “Oh my goodness, don’t scare me like that again!” Wendy said as she chuckled to herself, “I didn’t expect to see you here.”
