Unfair Treatment



Shadow pointed to some of the carnival games, prominently the knock over the bottles game.


"You know those are rigged right?"


Shadow huffed and a bit of smoke left her nostrils.


"I don't care I want to try!"


Clark laughed at her childish tone and cute pouty face.


"Ok how about we play some of the games made for fantasy creatures first."


Shadow agreed and sat on his shoulders as they looked for the games. When he found them he was shocked to see how bad they were. Most were so simplistic it was almost insulting, but the characters there were struggling with them.


"I guess you're just incredibly smart."


Without another word Clark walked back to the booth Shadow wanted, getting closer Clark could see why she wanted to play this game. One of the prizes was a massive stuffed dragon, covered in pink scales with huge derpy blue eyes. Clark chuckled and went to the vendor, he could feel Shadow bouncing.


"Excuse me sir, my partner Shadow would like to play your game."


The man looked at Clark with a side glance.


"Sorry but monsters can't play these games, they are a bit to complex for them."


Clark felt Shadow growl.


"As long as your getting money why should it matter, plus she's incredibly smart."


The man thought a moment then shrugged.


"I'll let her play if you give it a try first, and she doesn't use her mouth."


Clark agreed and gave the man the money in return for three balls.


"If you knock one set down then you get a small prize, two will get you a medium, and all three in a row will nab you a large prize."


Clark nodded and lined up the first shot, miss. Then the second, hit! The third...miss. Clark felt Shadow giggling and he playfully swatted at her.


"Oh be quiet you,"


He looked and pointed to a small golden rose keychain as his prize.


"It's your turn now Shadow."
