The kids were all laughing and passing around a drink, completely ignoring the horrible weather outside. It was storming out and Ev was nowhere to be seen. Elizabeth feels like they're always waiting on her.
Suddenly, the power went out. Now, they had her attention.
"Whoa, what happened?" Chris asked.
"It must be the storm." Elizabeth replied. They all grabbed a flashlight.
They heard a rattling. Well, that's odd.
"Something's out there." Chris whispered. This was starting to get scary.
Suddenly the barn door creaked open. Chris' officially creeped out.
"Guys." Asriel whispered. They all stood up and gathered together. They slowly walked toward the door. They all heard glass breaking and they screamed. What the hell is going on?
After a few seconds Evilyn jumped out and screamed, "Gotcha." They all jumped.
Typically Evilyn. Always has to make an entrance.
"That's so not funny, Evilyn!" Elizabeth exclaimed.
"I thought it was hilarious, kids." She responded. Of course she did. She loves to play pranks on them.
They all walked back over to the couch and sat down.
"Ev, did you download the new Beyoncé?" Asriel asked.
"Not yet." She smiled.
"I'm loving her new video." Frisk added.
"Maybe a little too much, F." Ev replied. Jeez, why does she always have to be so mean?
"Your turn. Go on." Ev said as she handed Chris the cup. Chris took it and just stared at it for a second.
Chris just hid his hesitation with a chuckle and took a sip. More like a gulp.
"Careful, Chris. Take too much and you'll tell us all your secrets." Elizabeth said.
They all giggled.
"Friends share secrets. That's what keeps us close." Ev started and then looked at Chris. "Drink up."
He did as such and they continued to talk. This isn't so bad.

A FEW HOURS LATER
Chris started stirring awake but he couldn't even remember falling asleep. Ev and Elizabeth weren't in there. They were all here a few hours ago. Where the hell did they go?
"F." Chris said as he shook her awake.
"Woah." She let out. None of them could figure out when they fell asleep.
"Where's Ev and Elizabeth?" Asriel said groggily. That's the problem.
"We don't know." Chris replied.
