And This is Why...

"There is NO way you're making me go in there." Road crossed her arms and stared up at her ADD dad."Not with you. No freaking way."

Of course, Sherrill was referring to the haunted house at the carnival that came almost EVERY year. Yet this was the first year that, not that he's been to the carnival, but the first year he had even gathered up the courage to go in the haunted house.

...And he wanted to bring Road with him.

"Roooad~!" Sherrill whined, clapping his hands together like an anxious first-grader. "This will be the only time we can spend Daddy-Daughter tiiiime!"

Road blinked. "We do that EVERY weekend!" She turned on her heels. "I'm not going in there."

Sherrill frowned. "Fine then. I'll have to use force."

He picked up Road by her arms and threw her over his shoulder.

"Nooo!" Road flailed. "Put me dowwwn!" She looked at a guy eating a funnel cake and yelled, "HELP! This strange man is trying to rape me! Call the police!"

The guy quickly nodded, flung the funnel cake aside, and sprinted off.

"Road~." Sherrill sat Road in the ride's car next to a blond guy and his red-headed friend. "You're going to get Daddy in trooouble~."

Road, ignoring her dad, attempted to jump out of the car but, as she was doing so, the ride started.

"Crap." Road turned back around and slumped in her seat.

"This'll be sooo much FUN!" Sherrill squealed, tightly hugging his annoyed daughter.

"Sure."

To start the ride, cheesily enough, they played some stupid music that, she was guessing, was SUPPOSED to be freaky but only ended up sounding like something from the Adam's Family.

"Ohh~! So freaky Road~!" Sherrill yelled louder than needed.

Road glanced back at the two other passengers and sighed. "I'm SO sorry..."

They exchanged confused glances.

"Sorry for what?" The red-head asked.

"BWAHH! ROAD!" Sherrill screamed, clinging to Road and pointing at an obviously fake cardboard ghost. "It's going to KILL ME!"

Road pushed her dad away. "Sorry for THAT."

"R-Road...I-I don't like it here..." Sherrill looked like he was about to cry.

"Hey! YOU'RE the one who suggested we go on this STUPID ride!" Road hissed.

"Well I'M getting off."

Sherrill hopped out of the car and sprinted toward the entrance. "Bye Road--GWAH!"

Another cardboard figure (a vampire this time) jumped out at Sherrill, sending him running even faster and nearly running into a fake pillar.

"I MADE IT!" Sherrill announced once he got out of the 'Cave of Death' "I--"

"That's him!" The funnel cake guy yelled, surrounded by at LEAST sixe police officers. "That's the guy that tried to rape that cute little girl!"

"Huh?" Sherrill snapped his head in the direction of the funnel cake guy. "What? Road? I'm her FATHER."

One of the bystanders, a tiny old lady, gasped. "Sick PERVERT. Get him!"

The police officers plus a few of the workers ran forward while Sherrill started to run back in the haunted house.

Once Sherrill saw the cardboard vampire, he let out a small yelp and turned back to...

...Face the officers...

So it was either jail...or a heart attack...

Officers or...

THWACK!

Before Sherrill could even DECIDE what to do, he was hit in the back of the head with a bat from one of the stands, instantly knocking him unconcious.

"There we go." One of the police officers grabbed Sherrill by his legs and started dragging him to the car. "Lets take this pervert to jail..."

The other officers followed.

Road, who happened to have just gotten out of the ride and see her dad be dragged off, shook her head.

The blond guy from the ride walked up behind her. "Um...isn't that your dad?"

"Yup." Road nodded.

"Shouldn't you go...help him?"

"I should..." Road smirked and started to walk off. "...later..."
