“This time, you go first,” Marie demands and pushes Josh forward. Josh swings from bar to bar and reaches Marie’s infamous one. He by passes it and checks each one before he puts his weight on it. Marie follows behind, taking the same path. The next part of the funhouse is a large turning barrel tunnel. Boys and girls put out their hands and feet and let it spin them upside down. Marie braces herself as does Josh. The two face each other and their faces turn red as they tense their muscles. It turns them upside down and Josh’s shirt falls to his neck. Marie’s damp hair dangles, but then her shirt starts to slide down. It slips down around her neck her Josh gets a close up view of her chest. Marie lets herself fall and quickly recovers her dignity. “I better not see you smile,” she says in a huff and a stare. Josh just bites his lip and falls to the bottom, laughing hysterically. Marie breaks down and laughs too.
“Okay, you had your fun, let’s go,” Marie says trying to balance on her tiptoes. Josh stands and wobbles and then looks down at his own feet. He’s now standing on his tiptoes as well. He tries to push his heel to the ground, but it makes him want to fall backwards.
They reach a new part of the funhouse with a small tunnel. Too small to walk through, and the floor is padded. Marie gets to her hands and knees and starts crawling through the tunnel with Josh right behind her. “Don’t stare at my ass,” she demands. “What am I suppose to stare at,” He laughs as he watches her butt with great enthusiasm. Josh then feels a tickle on his head and shakes it off. The tunnel keeps going for a few more feet but Josh then notices something sticking out of the bottom of Marie’s shorts. It looks like something is dangling, a narrow something, and it starts to grow.
Josh feels the tickling again, this time in his ears as they feel cold on the tops. He tries to lift his head, but he bumps it on the low ceiling. “Owwww, dammit,” he groans and smacks the ceiling. Marie just sighs and keeps going. Josh reaches up to his head and that’s when he feels it. His ears are longer. They are touching the top of the tunnel. He slides his fingers up and down them, feeling small prickles of hairs on them.
