Chapter 7: The Fair and Fast Food

Part of my day in Monarch.

Still Thursday, July 4-- Independence Day

5:34 PM

The fair was great! We rode on rides, ducked into a photo booth, and played a few games. The best part by far was watching Logan totally outwit a carny. See, the idea was, if he could your age with five questions, you got nothing, and you’ve been scammed out of five dollars. If he didn’t, you got a roll of prize tickets.

The guy working the booth was a real sleazebag, all smug and oily. Logan handed him five dollars, and swore to answer all the questions truthfully.

He was AWESOME. He acted pretty young and timid, not looking the carny in the eye. That gave him the impression that he was nervous, and younger than he really is.

“Okay, what’s your name?” the carny asked.

“Logan.”

“All right, Logan, tell me, do you have a steady girlfriend?”

“Yes sir.”

“How many have you had?”

“Just the one.” This was just true enough that Logan could stick to his promise�" Alice is the only STEADY girlfriend he’s ever had.

“Have a driver’s license?” 

“Yes.”

“Drive much?”

“Not really.” Again, this was true. He usually either walks, or has his license taken away.

“Applying for college yet?”

“Nope.” Finally, his laziness is good for something!

“I’m guessing… 15?”

He grinned, looking the carny in the eye now. “You guessed wrong.”

Just for extra measure, Logan whipped out his I.D. Indeed, it showed that he’s nearly 18.

7:00 PM

Driving away from the Burger McQueen near the fairgrounds. It’s the local fast food joint. Zeke, Logan, and Spencer were having some fun by making the poor cashier miserable.

“Hello, may I take your order?” asked Logan.

“…what?” said the woman behind the register.

“Welcome to Burger McQueen, may I take your order?”

“…what?”

“It’s a simple question, ma’am,” said Zeke, shaking his head to get his red hair out of his eyes.

“Uh…”

“A milkshake?” he said. “Okay.”

“But I didn’t�"”

“Ten milkshakes? All right.”

“Please�"”

“Oh, and a large fries, too?” said Spencer. “No problem.”

“You three better�"”

“Oi, cook!” Logan called back into the kitchen. “We need a Code Blue 1568-0023, STAT!”

This went on before we were kicked out by a man wearing the Burger McQueen logo on his (crappy) polo shirt.

Let’s just say we’re not allowed back at THAT place…
