If I said it enough, then it would come true.

Lana looked away. I was not sure if she bought it. She was my oldest and probably my only true friend. She had probably smelt the lie from me stronger than she smelt the sea air, but she never said anymore.

"Don't worry about me." I repeated before referencing "I am merely the support person. I am just the sidekick in this story, but it is fine because I like Robin a lot better than Batman."

She raised one of her light eyebrows as she challenged "Like you would ever sit back and watch things happen and life pass by."

"What is that supposed to mean?" I questioned, a cold chill shooting you, my spine.

"Sidekicks usually just sit and do nothing." She mentioned before laughing the next few words "You have a big mouth, and you are not afraid of conflict."

She was right but I stuck my tongue out at her anyway while putting my hands in my jacket pockets to warm them up.

A small circular object touched my hand as I rested my hands inside the small denim holes. Wondering what it was, I pulled out the mystery object and inspected it.

It was a quarter piece that I had probably just stuffed into my pocket when I had got change for something.

I looked around for some pinball machine to get rid of the coin.

My eyes skimmed over the open space before eventually landing on a solution. A solution in the form of a rectangular shaped green box with a mannequin-like figure inside.

I walked over to the box that was randomly placed in the middle of nowhere. No other stalls were situated near it.

Through the window of the box was the top-half of a dummy holding a crystal ball. The mannequin of the old fortune-teller had grey hair and a purple waistcoat which had the letters Ht. Rowknad written on it.

It was weird and whimsical looking but the coin slot part of the machine read twenty-five cents, so I knew what to do.

The reflection on the box showed Lana laughing.

She questioned my actions as I stuck the quarter in the slot "I thought you said you did not believe in fortune tellers and fate."

"I need to get rid of the change." I mentioned to her as the man in the box moved around "All things like this are a massive waste of money. They give you fortunes that are quite open ended and interpretable. The same one it gives to fifty other people the same day."

The machine made a small bell-like noise and a piece of paper slipped out of another opening that was not for the money.

Lana beat me to it and grabbed the small piece of paper. Her blue irises flicked over the words on the slip of paper before she burst out laughing.

"What is it?" I asked, moving closer to see what she was laughing at.
