Tess

"Okay. Okay... I'm gonna blow up the Man Cave." Uncle Ray is going to do what now!?!? Uncle Ray leaves the room and we need to go after him. 

"Should I follow him, or...?"

"We should all follow him." Here we following Uncle Ray, hopefully getting him to not blow up the Man Cave. Hen and I catch up with Uncle Ray in the main part of the Man Cave. What the hell is that thing that came out of the floor?

"Ray, what is that thing?" 

"It's the Man Cave self-destruct button. In the case of dire emergency, or if I need to prove a point, I press this thing and it starts a countdown clock. And when that clock says zero, the Man Cave says boom!" 

"Ray, do not blow up the Man Cave!"

"Oh, I won't have to. They're gonna back down. This is how the big boys negotiate. Trust me."

"No, that's how anyone negotiates with anyone else."

"I do not trust you."

"Smart move."

"Well you better trust me, Henry and Tessa. Or I'll blow up the Man Cave!" 

"Okay! I trust you!"

"YOU'RE INSANE!" And I'm starting to yell. 

"See? That's how it works." 

"Ray, no!"

"Don't blow up the Man Cave!" Here comes Char, Jasp, and Schwoz.

"You can have our room!"

"No, he can't!" And we're all yelling at each other. 

"Calm down!"

"Hey! Listen to me! I am a shallow, impulsive, immature, man-child." At least he's admitting it. 

"So you will apologize to both of us and make us a fiesta-sized churro. Or I will blow this whole thing sky high."

"Well, I will hit this button myself before I apologize to you." Schwoz puts his hand on top of Uncle Ray's hand. Dear Lord, why are we doing this?

"Well, I will blow up the Man Cave if we don't all stop fighting! We're friends. If we can't along, then we don't deserve a Man Cave." Char puts her hand on top of Schwoz's.

"Well, I don't think that anybody should blow up the Man Cave, ever, for any reason. And I actually think we should all just take our hands away from the button. Okay?" Hen puts his on top of Char's. 

"Well I am feeling left out!" Jasp puts his on top of Hen's.

"WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?!?!" I put mine on top of Jasp's. We fight until the button gets pushed by one of us. Uh oh!

"Man Cave self-destruct activated."

"Who touched the button?!"

"I didn't!"

"I think you did it!"

"I was never going to hit it! I was only bluffing!"

"You couldn't have been bluffing! I was bluffing!"

"This is all your fault!" Here we go with the yelling again. 

"HHHHEEEEYYYY!! Is this place really gonna self-destruct?" 

"Um...yes."

"And you really can't stop it?"

"Um...no." Oh dear. 

"Oh my God!"

"Ahhh!" We head to the elevator and go up to Junk 'N' Stuff. We run out of the elevator screaming. Schwoz's family leaves.
