Joe Daredevil, had just come out of the high drop in the amusement park,  feeling like barfing. 
 "I feel woozy but I want to go on another ride." he said. 
 "Which ride?" his brother asked. 
 "I haven't decided yet, but I'll decide very soon," he answered. He started walking down the aisle of rides when he saw it. It was huge, it was magnificent, it was the CANNONBALL X. " I want to go on the CANNONBALL X!" he said. His entire family gasped. Joe's Family was shocked. 
 "Joe, why would you think such a thing?" His mom said. 
 " I have a feeling that it's going to be fun." Joe replied. After 30 minutes of arguing Joe's mom finally gave in. 
 "Fine, You can go but I'm warning you it's going to be dangerous." 
 
"YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!" Joe said, jumping up and down. He ran to the ride, loaded himself and... He flung himself! Here Joe was hurling through the air. Below he spotted the trampoline he was supposed to land on. "HEY I'M GOING OFF COURSE HELP!" . He landed with a BOOOOOOOM in the middle of Wherever it is. "Where am I?" he asked himself. He spotted a map on the ground. "I'M IN THE WOODS!!?????" he asked. A feeling of relief washed over him when he realized the map shows the way to the amusement park. Joe followed the map carefully hitting confusing roadblocks, until he found his way back. He felt proud for not crying a lot. Well, maybe 2 or 3 times. He rushed to his family who was waiting impatiently at the amusement park. As soon as they saw Joe, his Mom & Dad said, 
 "I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!.".  After a while, Joe realized that he should never go on the Dangerous rides again. And he realized he got what he wanted in the wrong way AKA: CANNONBALL X. Joe walked through the amusement park and saw something else...  
The Person Yeeter 10000...  
You know what happens next...
