"It's gonna start pouring soon." Max spoke the next day as the trio walked down the street together, El put in the middle after she insisted they go to Max's to make sure the girl she saw was okay, "We should be at the mall or, like, watching a movie or something."

"Going to the pool." Peter suggested with a nod, "The lake."

"Don't believe me?" El looked at both of them.

"Completely believe you." Peter corrected her before he shrugged, "But Max says he's a weird dudette."

"I believe you saw some super weird stuff, totally, but you said Mike has sensed you in there before, right?" Max hummed to El's previous statement over eggos this morning, "So maybe it was just like that. Maybe Billy just sensed you somehow."

A single rain drop hit Peters nose, looking up at the sky with squinted eyes. He wished he'd thrown on a rain coat instead of a bright green tee and jean jacket. El sighed, "But the screams."

"Yeah, I know, but here's the thing." Max began with a long sigh, "When Billy is alone with a girl, they make, like, really crazy noises."

Peters eyes went wide as he took his eyes off the sky, "Maxine."

"They scream?" El asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, but, like..happy scream." Max tried to explain.

"Max!" Peter flushed in the face as he gave her a crazy look, "Don't have this talk with me here!"

"Happy screams? What is happy screams?" El threw her hands slightly in disbelief.

"I'm just gonna lend you my moms Cosmo." Max huffed, the three stopping infront of Max's house, "His cars not here."

El had a determined look on her face, Peter glanced over, "It wouldn't really be breaking and entering considering Max lives here."

"You really wanna do this?" Max looked at El as well, earning a nod.


"Why do I get the feeling we're gonna find all kinds of wrong in here?" Max asked after she opened Billys door, El and Peter close behind her.

"Oh my god." Peter looked away quickly from the half naked girls on the wall, "Obviously not gonna look at her, you know? I'm very respectful to woman, i'd never be disrespectful with my eyes. Even beautiful woman like her, nope- not gonna look."

"I knew we shouldn't have brought you." Max groaned, "Forgot you're a boy for a second."

"Was it the nail polish?" Peter asked curiously, shielding his face of the posters on the wall.

Max ignored him, pulling a drawer open before slamming it back, "Ugh, gag me with a spoon. Peter, do not come over here."

El grabbed Peters wrist, pulling him with her toward the bathroom. He sighed in relief when only met with floral wall paper, "Thanks, El."
