As the group left the convenience store, they noticed a light rain beginning to fall. "Ah shit," Radosław says, feeling the droplets on his shoulders. "Where are we going now then?" He continued. All four of them were planning on heading to the garden, though with the incoming storm heading their way, it wasn't really a good idea anymore. They stood on the sidewalk outside the convenience store, keeping dry. Maja spoke up, "We could always go to the bar mleczny my mom works at, she'll let us into the employees only area, you know." "Yeah! Plus, uh, there's this arcade nearby and they just installed DDR.." Tobiasz added.

"Cool, but we always go to the Bar mleczny, it's kinda boring. We could go to the arcade though." Radosław responded. "Wait, you guys, I noticed something," Grzes said, breaking his silence. "My apartment is really nearby, and we've never been there together." "Maybe we could, uh, head there instead?" He said. "Oh! Sure, that's cool too." Maja said, opening her umbrella and getting off the dry sidewalk, stepping onto the parking lot. " "Are you guys coming or not?" She said, starting to walk down the road. Grzes ran after her, getting soaked. "Hold on! We were supposed to share the umbrella!" he shouted as he ran.

"..so are we sharing the smaller umbrella again?" Tobiasz said, grabbing it from his backpack.
"Sure, not like either of us have a choice really." he almost grabbed it from Toby when he had a thought. "...Then again..." Radosław trailed off as he eyed the umbrella stand from inside the store. "Hold my shit, I'll be right back." He said, giving the bags to Tobiasz. "Oh no.." Tobiasz said, having a feeling that something bad was going to happen. It always does. He just sighed. Sat down and watched Maja and Grzes fight over the umbrella, getting soaked in the process. "This rain isn't going anywhere, I just know it."

After some time, Radosław runs out of the convenience store, grabbing Toby, and forcing him to stand up. "Holy SHIT Radosław, what did you DO?" Tobiasz said, running as he heard yelling and various Polish swear words behind him as they ran to hide behind a building. Radosław took off his mask and smiled, yelling "I GOT AN UMBRELLA!" This got the attention of Maja and grzes, as they took off towards Radosław and Toby down the street, trying not to be seen by the store owner. They stopped and ran in an alley between two buildings, stopping near a bunch of trash, as they couldn't get over it

Once they all caught their breath, Tobiasz started yelling "WHAT THE FUCK WHERE YOU THINKING????" he said, trying not to laugh. "YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN ARRESTED" he continued, full-on laughing at how dumb this was now. "Hey, think about it, we have one more umbrella. That means we don't have to share that small one anymore!" Radosław said smuggly. "Okay, yeah I kinda have to agree with Toby on this one," Maja said. "That was fucking stupid." She said, sitting down on a bunch of discarded blankets. "Thank you, Maja." Toby said. "Fuck you," she responded, not even bothering to look up, just sticking the middle finger in his... General direction.

"Can we, like, go now?" Grzes said. "We have the umbrellas, n all." "I'm ready to go too," Maja added. "Okay, sure. Yeah." Toby said, calming himself down. He doesn't even know why it was so funny to him and Radosław. They began walking out of the alley, pulling out the umbrellas as they finally made their way to Grze's house. "You know, that was actually really fun," Radosław said, opening the new umbrella. "This is not becoming a habit. This was a one-time thing, I don't want to be associated with fuckin criminals now as well." Grzes said, looking down at him. Grzes was so tall. "Awwh, who said you were in charge?" Radosław said, chuckling. "Okay, seriously, I won't do it again, I promise guys." He said. Smiling. "You fuckin better now." Maja said in response. "That was so risky, you're lucky we even made it out." She finished. "Yeah that... Was dumb." Toby finally said. "I get it, I won't do it again. You got my word."
