"Let's try the big roller coaster!"Da: Mikkel så op og så det massive stålkonstrukt, der tårnede sig op mod den blå himmel.En: Mikkel looked up and saw the massive steel structure towering against the blue sky.Da: Han tøvede.En: He hesitated.Da: "Jeg ved ikke, Astrid.En: "I don't know, Astrid.Da: Det ser ret skræmmende ud."En: It looks pretty scary."Da: Astrid lo højt og trak ham med et smil.En:

i kø.En: They lined up.Da: Jo nærmere de kom, jo hurtigere bankede Mikkels hjerte.En: The closer they got, the faster Mikkel's heart raced.Da: Astrid talte og grinede hele vejen op til turens startpunkt, men Mikkel var stille.En: Astrid talked and laughed all the way up to the ride's starting point, but Mikkel was silent.Da: Hans tanker var en blanding af frygt og forventning.En: His thoughts were a mix of fear and anticipation.Da: Da vognen begyndte at køre, lukkede Mikkel øjnene.En: As the car began to move, Mikkel closed his eyes.Da: Tempoet steg, vinden sussede i ørerne, og vognene kastede dem rundt i voldsomme sving.En: The speed increased, the wind whistled in their ears, and the cars swung them around in violent turns.Da: Mikkel skreg, men for første gang føltes det befriende.En: Mikkel screamed, but for the first time, it felt liberating.Da: I det korte øjeblik glemte han alt om auditionen og lod sig rive med.En: In that brief moment, he forgot all about the audition and let himself be swept away.Da: Da de steg ud af vognen, stod Astrid der med et stort smil.En: When they got out of the car, there stood Astrid with a big smile.Da: "Hvad sagde jeg?En: "What did I tell you?Da: Det var fantastisk, ikke?"En: It was amazing, wasn't it?"Da: Mikkel grinede, stadig rystet, men nu med et stort smil.En: Mikkel laughed, still shaken, but now with a big smile.Da: "Du har ret.En: "You're right.Da: Det var utroligt!En: It was incredible!Da: Jeg glemte alt om mine bekymringer."En: I forgot all about my worries."Da: Resten af dagen fløj forbi med latter, og de prøvede flere vilde forlystelser, spiste candyfloss og fangede de små fisk i andendammen.En: The rest of the day flew by with laughter, and they tried more wild rides, ate cotton candy, and caught the little fish in the duck pond.Da: Mørket begyndte at falde, og parken lyste op i tusinde farver.En: Darkness began to fall, and the park lit up in thousands of colors.Da: Da dagen var slut,

"Tak, Astrid," sagde han stille, "for at minde mig om at leve i nuet."En: "Thank you, Astrid," he said quietly, "for reminding me to live in the moment."Da: Astrid smilede og nikkede blidt.En: Astrid smiled and nodded gently.Da: "Det er det, venskaber er til for, Mikkel."En: "That's what friendships are for, Mikkel."Da: Mikkel så ud over den oplyste park en sidste gang og indså, at han ikke kunne ændre fremtiden ved at bekymre sig.En: Mikkel looked out over the illuminated park one last time and realized that he couldn't change the future by worrying.Da: Han følte sig klar til auditionen,
