Sugar & Spike (Spike)
Riley wasn't really into repeat performances, but he had had such a pleasant time at the fair the previous afternoon, he found himself back amongst the tents for the second time in so many days.
He had originally intended to return to the Curiousities tent, compelled to talk more with the kind man who worked there, but found himself distracted by the crisp evening weather. There was something perfectly quaint about an autumn night at the fair, and Riley decided now was the time to really take in all the sights he had previously glossed over.
Wandering among the tents and booths, Riley was taking inventory of what all the fair offered. In his hand, a giant, pink fluff of cotton candy. Okay, so it wasn't the most masculine, but he figured if ever there was a place to feel like a kid again, why not here?
Letting the sugary puff melt in his mouth, the soldier started making a B-line for the games booths. He was still adverse to rides, but he figured he'd try his skill at the skeeball or something. Perhaps he could even win a stuffed animal to give to his new friend, Molly. She seemed nice enough, and he figured it would make her day.
Rounding the corner near the water balloon game, Riley stopped dead in his tracks. There, standing a few feet in front of him, was the last possible person he wanted to see. Especially here.
With an exasperated sigh, cotton candy fell out of the soldier's mouth mid-sentence.
"You've got to be shitting me."
