Clara was happy to see how much he was enjoying this. She knew that he didn't always have the best experiences before especially since he was a living doll. He deserved to get ones that made him happy. As the ride started to move, Clara also held on so that she wouldn't fall off. Though it wasn't like a carousel really went all that fast. She just didn't know what it would do to someone that was Aiden's size. "Do you like it?" she asked him.
 
Once again, the doll nodded. The carousel made a few more rounds, before slowing to a stop. Leaning forward, he tightened his hold on the poll and swung his leg back over. He almost fell, but managed to slide down until his foot hit the step. Sighing in relief, Aiden hopped down, staggering a bit.
 
Clara smiled, glad he was enjoying it. When the ride ended, she got off of her horse. She was worried as he tried to get off of his and she was willing to help, but eventually he got it. "You okay?" she asked him as she noticed that he was staggering some. "Are you dizzy any? Would you like to sit down for a few minutes before we check something else out?"
 
"Yeah, I'm fin. It was just a little tricky getting off," Aiden said. He stepped off the platform and exited through the gate and smiled at the attendant. "Thanks, bud. Have a good one."
 
"Alright," Clara replied. She walked with him. The guy gave Aiden a nod and went back to doing his job. "What would you like to try next?" They could see a lot of different options around them so she wanted to give him the chance to pick whatever looked interesting to him or what drew him the most.
 
Aiden started forward, looking around at the different attractions from rides to arcade games. Spotting Hungry, Hungry Hippo, he headed in that direction. "That one!"
 
"Okay," Clara replied. She walked with him to the game. "Do you know how to play. You hit the button to try to get the hippo to eat the little balls." She wasn't quite sure if he learned anything about any of these games at some point in his life, so she thought she might explain a little just to make sure. Though she didn't want to over explain in case he already knew.
 
"No, never played, but I'll give it a shot," Aiden laughed.
 
"Alright," Clara replied. She took a few coins out of her bag so he could play. She placed them into the slot so that the game would start up. "Once it starts up, hit the button when you want to." She also put a coin in for herself so he had someone to play with. Now, she hadn't really played this herself since she was really little, but it wasn't like it was a hard game. And she would probably just let him win it anyway. She wasn't concerned about beating him.
 
Nodding, Aiden pushed the button, and the game turned on. The colored balls mocved about, and whenever they got close to his purple hippo, he pressed the button.
 
Clara also pressed her button when any ball came towards her area. She was surprised though how much the balls could move with all the air moving them around. And the movement of the hippo seemed to push them away sometimes as well. But that was part of the game. If it was too easy no one would ever want to play it. But it wasn't like it was impossible. There would always be someone who would win because you could at least catch one ball.
 
Aiden kept trying to get more balls into his hippo's mouth. A moment later, the game ended, and a few tickets came out on Clara's side.
The toy grinned. "Winner winner chicken finger, darling!"
 
Clara smiled. She really didn't care who won the game, she was just glad he was having fun and enjoying himself. "I've never heard that version of that saying before," she commented. "What do you want to try next?" She pulled the tickets out but it wasn't like she really needed them. She would probably give them to him anyway.
 
"That motorcycle game over there," Aiden gestured, moving in that direction. Stepping up on the bar, the doll was able to strattle the seat and held the handlebars.
 
"Okay," Clara replied. She hadn't expected him to want to play that and it was definitely not something she had ever played before, but if he wanted to then she would. She walked over to it and waited to make sure he could get on the ride. "Do you want to play just against the game itself or do you also want me to play with you?"
 
"It looks like this is only for one player," Aiden said. "Sorry."
 
"They usually have another one next to it," Clara replied. "But I don't have to play." She would let him play however he wanted to. She pulled out another coin and put it into the game so it could start. She would just wait there and watch. It wasn't like she had to play anyway, this was for him.
 
Aiden nodded, and the game booted off. He selected one player mode, a green motorbike, and a track, the race began. Aiden steared his bike around other racers, tilting the machine left and right.
 
She was kind of surprised that his small body was actually able to do this game. She wasn't sure if he would have enough weight to be able to move the bike around. He wasn't very heavy after all. She could easily pick him up. But it seemed that he was fine. She continued to watch his game as he played it.
 
After three laps were completed, the game declared Aiden the fourth place winner, the game switched to the preview screen, and Aiden dismounted with some effort, grinning up at his friend. "So, what's next? What do you want to do?"
