“I don’t think the beast has gone down to Florida yet”
“Aw man,” said Daniel. “How many days do we still have to stay away from your house?”
“Until that freaking bull dog is gone” said Rick. “ We don’t what that dog biting our butts when we’re going to John’s house, now do we”
“Dang it”
[Silence]
“So what are we going to do if we can’t go to your house?” said Daniel.
“I’m not sure. The library?” said John.
Rick looks at John awkwardly.
“Seriously? I rather get bitten by the dog than going to the library”
John and Daniel exchanged a look.
“What? I don’t like libraries.” said Rick.
They burst out laughing.
“You were in the Mason Library for a whole day last week,” laughed John, “and you were so into the book that you forgot it’s time to go”
“Ah haha” laughed Daniel.
“Shut up” chucked Rick. “So what if I was locked inside a library? That library was HUGE”
“Well” said John as they calm down, “we all got houses. How about your house, Daniel?”
“Bad idea” said Daniel, “My house is not much better than a landfill”
“Your house, Rick?”
“No. My parents banned you guys from the house for a while, remember?” said Rick.
“Oh yeah. We’re playing tag in your house”
“So now what?” said John. “We gotta do SOMETHING”
Jack walked up to the three.
“Hey guys. Wanna play some nerf?”
“Naw, we go-”
“Okay! Let’s go!” exclaimed John.
“I’ll get my demonisher!” said Daniel
“Guys…” said Rick.
“And I’ll get my stryfe!”
“Let’s do this!” said Jack.
The three ran to their house, leaving Rick alone. Rick thought for a moment. Only a moment.
“Hey! Wait for me!!!”
