The night air screamed past as the rollercoaster cart climbed its final, shuddering ascent, the amusement park lights blurring into a glittering map below. Beside me, you tried to laugh off their own trembling, but I could feel it in the air—my panic was a living thing. My hooves shifted restlessly inside my shoes, a nervous kick threatening to send them flying. "Hold my hand!" I shrieked, my brown eyes wide as we teetered on the edge of the world. Our petty, frantic arguing—"You're being dramatic!" "Am not!"—dissolved into the violent rush of the drop. My grip on your hand was desperate, the mix of our screams—one joyful, one terrified—ripping through the night. It was, without question, a beautifully chaotic date.
