The Carnival

Later that week, as they were arguing about where to go, they stumbled upon a carnival. Strider was overjoyed, but Larkin was hesitant. However, as they entered the carnival, they were amazed.

Clowns with their painted faces and costumes were everywhere, juggling balls and entertaining the crowds. Strider felt right at home. She loved carnivals and was excited to experience them with Larkin, even though the gothic girl was less than thrilled about the idea.

As they walked through the crowded carnival, Strider's outgoing and playful personality took over. She eagerly engaged with everyone they met, making balloon animals and cracking jokes, while Larkin seethed in the background, hating every moment of it. She felt out of place and uncomfortable with the happy-go-lucky atmosphere of the carnival.

While they were walking around, they saw a group of guys playing a game. Strider saw another opportunity to flirt, but Larkin was against it. They argued, but somehow, Strider won.

She approached the men, and they were immediately drawn to her. However, as she was talking to them, Larkin felt a strange sensation. She was losing control of her side of the body once again, and Strider was taking over.

She tried to fight back, but it was no use. Strider was in complete control today, and she was having a good time. Larkin felt like a helpless puppet as Strider flaunted, modeled, and bounced their voluptuous body around.

After a few hours, though, Larkin looked around and saw that the world was not as dark as she had always believed. There were families laughing and children running around, enjoying the attractions. The rides, the games, the food stands, and the performers were all working together to create a joyful atmosphere. Sure, she would have preferred to stay home, but there was something to be said for the carefree spirit of the carnival.
