12 hours before.
The Gu family entered the amusement park for a fun trip.
The amusement park was huge and colorful. Magic lights floated in the air like glowing fireflies.
Each building was shaped like something from a fairy tale — a castle, a flying whale, and even a giant teacup that spun in the sky.
People moved around happily, some riding on flying broomsticks, some throwing sparks of fire or bubbles from their hands as part of games.
For Gu Jin, everything was new.
Back in her earth, no such thing existed.
There were special rides like the Thunder Loop, where a giant storm cloud shot lightning (safe, of course) while the ride spun people in circles.
Or the Ice Slide, a super long magical slide that shimmered with frost but never made you cold.
In one corner, kids were riding on Wind Carpets, floating just above the ground, giggling as they zoomed around.
Music played everywhere, from instruments that floated mid-air and played themselves.
