Athena lead Carol to the ferris wheel and climbed into a carriage. "Up up and away." Athena teased as she wrapped her arm over Carol's shoulder. As soon as the ride stopped Athena leaned in and kissed her catching Carol off guard. Carol quickly kissed back wrapping her arms around Athena's neck. Soon the ride ended and they got off the ferris wheel and headed to the next one. "Where to next?" Athena asked. "How about you win me a stuffed animal, see if you can knock over those milk bottles. I want the giant dog." Carol said pointing to a giant black dog hanging from a ball toss game. Athena looked at the game as whole, then at the balls and the milk jugs. She was calculating inside her head just how hard to throw the balls so they knock over all the jugs so she could get Carol's dog.

Just a few feet away Yelena, Pepper, and Natasha stood together watching Athena and Carol. "What's she doing?" Pepper whispered to Natasha. "She's calculating just how hard she needs to throw the balls." Natasha replied in the same hushed tone. "Smart." Pepper said. They watched as Athena paid for the balls before picking one up rolling it around in her hands before she threw it at the milk jugs knocking them all down.

She did it three more times, knocking every one down much to the carnival game runners dismay. His wide eyes only grew as Athena knocked every single milk jug down over and over again. "You did it!" Carol exclaimed happily. "I'll take the big black dog." Athena said smiling at the man. The man displeased at the fact that someone had beaten the game so successfully, but reluctantly took the giant black dog down of its hook and passed it to the excited Carol. "Congratulations..." The man muttered. Carol squealed with delight as she held the dog in her arms. "I'm glad you like it Carol." Athena said smiling. "Good job kid!"Natasha said smiling at her daughter. "Thanks mom! I really irritated the game runner though." Athena said smirking at the man behind the counter.
