Kryptic slumped onto his couch after having tossed his keys onto the table. "I HATE job interviews! Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy or something!" He ranted to himself as a knock sounded from the door. Groaning, Kryptic managed to stand up and slowly walk over to the door, Somehow managing to form a smile as he saw his friend in the doorway. "Hello Kry!" She smiled cheerily. "Hey Cherry. What brings you here?" Kryptic asked and beckoned her in, Closing the door behind him. "I just wanted to come by and see you. Ever since I started college, I hardly ever hear from you anymore." Cherry lowered her head. Kryptic walked toward the young female and grasped her hand to show comfort. "At least you can still come back and visit, Right?" He held Cherry's chin and angeled her head to face him. "Right, But I have to go back soon. Like in a half hour."

Both of them looked over to the clock hanging on the wall. It struck 1 PM. "Hm. What can we do in 30 minutes?" Kryptic pondered out loud and looked to Cherry with a grin. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" He asked. "Definitely." Cherry mirrored her friend. "Let's do it then!" Kryptic announced and pulled out his phone. He quickly dialed a long time friend of his and Cherry's, His name was Milo.

Cherry and Kryptic always pulled pranks on Milo whenever they could. He didn't live that far away anyways. Milo was a few blocks down.

"Hello?" The caller answered, Otherwise known as Milo. "Hey Milo! Haven't talked to you in a while!" Kryptic said with a silent snicker as Cherry was struggling to keep him quiet. "Hey Kryptic! Nice to speak to you again. So what's up?" Milo questioned. "Oh nothing! Just wanted to say hi!" Kryptic said as Cherry had to mute the line for a second to laugh. "Okay..." Milo said, Knowing there was an altieror motive to Kryptic's call. "So...Can I come over? And Cherry too?" Kryptic asked as he looked at Cherry. "Sure, You guys are always welcome!" Milo shouted. "Okay! We're coming over now!" Kryptic said and hung up. "We're gonna get him so good!" He snickered and grabbed Cherry's hand, Leading them out the door and over to Milo's.

They arrived a few minutes later, With Milo opening the door and letting them in. Kryptic looked at Cherry and whispered. "Go, I'll keep him distracted." He said with a smile. Cherry giggled and quickly went out of sight. She went around, Searching for remote gateways that connect to his house. Possibly to spook him, She picked up a TV remote and a garage control remote.

Kryptic and Milo were talking in the kitchen. "It's nice to catch up with your friends, Huh? Oh and by the way. I know Cherry went off to college. How are you doing with that?" Milo looked at Kryptic's face for an answer.

"Well, I'm really unsure about it. I want her to have a good life and everything, But I just never see her anymore. It kinda hurts. I-I miss her." Kryptic sniffled slightly but was stopped when he heard noises go off. Milo's face fell upon the TV, Which had been turned on by an unknown source. It switched channels repeatedly. Of course, Kryptic knew that this was Cherry. A small smile gently tugged on his lips as he watched Milo freak out, And Cherry peak her head around the corner while snickering. His garage door opened and closed, Making loud slams echo every few seconds. Milo screamed. "WHAT IS DOING THIS!?"

Kryptic cringed back from the volume and Cherry stopped laughing. Milo looked over to Cherry. "Y-YOU!" He pointed, And rushed over to Cherry. Kryptic became a little on-edged from the sudden movement. "I'M TIRED OF YOU TWO PLAYING TRICKS ON ME! CHERRY, YOU'RE SO CHILDISH TO BE DOING THIS! WHY, HOW YOU WERE EVEN PUT IN COLLEGE IS BEYOND ME!" Milo breathed heavily from yelling so much. Cherry backed away slowly and ran off, Not saying anything. Milo was speechless, He'd never thought he'd actually hurt Cherry's feelings. But one glare from Kryptic confirmed his actions. "I-I. I'm sorry." He defended weakly. "You're sorry? You're sorry!? You just insinuated Cherry and everything she's ever worked for! She worked hard to get into college! .....Sometimes I second guess my friendship with you....." Kryptic ended coldly and walked off, Tracing the steps Cherry took.
