Dreaming in Digital

I was at Cookie's school and getting together with his friends to go on a trip. I went with the girls first and we bought fast food for lunch, which we all sat down in a cafeteria and ate. I hugged Cookie as we ate and everyone talked about going on this one ride where everyone goes down backwards while being seated. I thought I'd try it with everyone. When we finished eating, we went outside. We did some walking and found ourselves at an empty place. There were a couple of people walking past, but it seemed too early for any other guests to come yet. The was interlocked with pink stone and everywhere else was blue with the sky. There were black railings all around where the sky touched the ground and a couple of black painted street lamps. There was a building to our right of a golden coloured brick, with an arch leading through it. We thought it was the end of the line so we turned around. Passionfruit said that this was where he had to part with us, so we said goodbye and from my black, Roots backpack from high school, I gave him a granola bar. As we left him, I noticed the blue horizon turned out to be the falls. I didn't realize we were at Niagara Falls! I was happy as I walked past it and felt the mist fall on me and moistened my face.

We finally reached the ride, and there were a few people already on it.

It was a green pod-looking ride which four people had their own pod each. As our friends piled in, I heard a man say they can't have their backpacks with them and will have to give them to the man. As I watched the pod began to move backwards and down a hill, I changed my mind from going. I pulled aside Wafer and told her that I didn't want to go anymore. She understood my fear and told me to tell the two operators about the situation. I went up to the two girls seated. They had a table with a screen before them which showed the people seated in the initial position before they pressed the button to let them go. They explained what the ride would do, but I didn't feel like becoming a quivering ball of chicken at the end, so they let me go and a man escorted me to the exit to wait for my friends.
