CHAPTER 4

Stir It Up

The Blender is the scariest ride at Rock ‘n’ Ride World. Carly and Mai race to their seats as soon as their turn comes.

Carly “I’ve done up my belt, only it’s really tight.”

Mai “At least you know you won’t fall out.”

Carly “I hope my ice-cream doesn’t turn to mush in the Blender. Maybe eating a double cone before this ride wasn’t such a good move.”

Mai “Well, I just hope your double cone stays inside your stomach.”

The ride starts. The Blender turns upside down and spins around and around. The girls scream. Aaahhhhhhh!

Mai “That was awesome!”

Carly “Yeah, totally!”

Carly “How about when we did the 360 in our seats? It felt like my head was gonna drop off.”

Mai “Yeah, and my stomach is still spinning. Let’s go again … right now!”

The girls have three more turns on the Blender.

Carly “I don’t know how many more times I can do this. My stomach feels like it’s full of butterflies.”

Mai “I told you not to pig out on all that ice-cream. It might be time to give it a rest before we’re really sorry. Y’know, what goes down must come up.”

Carly “Yeah, maybe you’re right. Ice-cream doesn’t mix so well with hot dogs and tomato sauce.”

Mai “Well, we’ll find a calmer ride next. My belly needs a rest, too!”

Carly (pointing) “Let’s sit down over there for a minute. C’mon.”
