- a month later -

"I'll see you later, Sloane. Remember you have school tomorrow." Steve said as Sloane stepped out of the car.

"School.. tomorrow." she smiled and walked into the arcade, immediately going to Dig Dug.

Her score still hadn't been beaten, but someone by the name of MADMAX was getting close. She began playing, attempting to beat herself.

~ Small Time Skip ~

A redhead was watching Sloane play. She had been there for a few minutes before she spoke up, trying to make small talk.

"Are you trying to beat SL0ANE07's score? You won't beat it easily."  the redhead said, unknowingly complimenting the girl in front of her.

Sloane pointed to the corner of the screen where her gamer tag was listed as 'SL0ANE07'

"Oh." the redhead exhaled. "Well I'm Max."

"MADMAX?" Sloane mumbled, looking over her shoulder.

"Yep." Max said, popping the 'p'.

Sloane returned to her round without another word.

~ Scene Change ~

The boys walked into the arcade, the sun beginning to set.

"-Princess Daphne is still mine." Lucas Sinclair said, leaning against the machine.

"Whatever. I'm still tops in Centipede and Dig Dug." Dustin Henderson said proudly.

"You sure about that?" Keith, the employee currently working at the arcade asked from behind the four.

"Sure about what? You're kidding me.. no, no, no!" Dustin yelled, rushing past people. "Move! Move! No, no, no, no, no!" he checked the scores on Centipede. "Hey, no! No! No!" he screamed, reaching Dig Dug.

The video game chimed to show the gamer tags and their rankings.

"761,510 points?!"

"That's impossible!" Mike exclaimed.

"Who are 'SL-zero-ANE-zero-seven' and 'MADMAX'?"

"Better than you." Keith smirked.

"Is it you?" Dustin asked.

"You know I despise Dig Dug." Keith responded.

"Spill it, Keith." Dustin commanded.

"If you want information.. I'm gonna need something in return." Keith glanced over at Mike.

Realization hit Mike, a disgusted look washing over his face. "No, no, no. You are not getting a date with her."

"Mike, come on. Just get him the date."

"No! I am not prostituting my sister!" Mike yelled.

"But it's for a good cause." Lucas pleaded.

"You know what? No, don't get him the date. He's gonna spread his nasty-ass rash to your whole family!" Dustin yelled, turning to Keith.

"Acne isn't a rash and it isn't contagious, you prepubescent wastoid." Keith defended.

The two kept bickering while something outside caught Will's attention.

"Hey. Hey, guys do you see the.." Will asked, watching the red clouds in the sky.

Lightning flashed, electricity crackled, but there were two things that Will focused on.

The shadow in the sky.. and a girl. A girl who seemed to be laying in the middle of the road. Will started to go ask if she was okay, but he was stopped by Mike.
