MIKE AND ALEX bursted into Nancy's room, both of them desperately searching for money. Alex opened a drawer, looking at the things in it while his eyes widened and a blush crept up on his cheeks.
"Okay, no," He mumbled, opening another drawer, only to find nothing. He turned around to face his brother, "Did you find something?"
Mike pulled out a piggy bank, giving a nod to his brother. He shook it, some quarters dropping out of it. Alex wasted no time, stuffing the quarters and other coins into his pockets.
The door to the room opened, and the two dark haired boys were met with an angry looking Nancy.
"What the hell are you doing?" She raised her arms in irritation.
"Uh...."
"I'll pay you back!"
The brothers pushed past their sister, running down the stairs. "Guys! Get back here!" Nancy yelled, chasing right behind them.
"Hey. No running in the house." Ted, their father said, with his mouth full of food.
"Sorry dad!" Alex yelled, continuing to run through the house.
"What is going on?!"
The two boys then grabbed their bikes once they were outside, running with it for a while before jumping on it. "Guys! Guys!" Nancy yelled, approaching behind them. Alex hopped on the bike, Mike trailing right behind him.
"I'll give it back once I beat Mike's score!" He yelled, to which Mike rolled his eyes, hopping on the bike like his brother and pedalling quickly.
"Assholes!" Nancy yelled again, watching the two brothers disappear from her line of sight. She threw her hands up in irritation once more, sighing.
......
Once at the arcade, the party were all huddled up infront of the Dragon's lair machine, watching Dustin play. "To slay the dragon, use the magic sword." Princess Daphne spoke seductively, causing Alex's cheeks to redden slightly.
Even though he played the game a million times- well, watched someone play it a million times, that line still got to him.
"Oh, Jesus, I'm in uncharted territory here, guys." Dustin groaned, while keeping his eyes focused on the game infront of him.
"DOWN! DOWN! DOWN!" The others yelled, causing Dustin to panic. "I'm going, I'm going!" The curly haired boy replied, using the joystick on the machine.
They then yelled different directions, making the boy clearly overwhelmed. "Okay. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up!" Dustin snapped, spamming the button over and over again like a maniac. The character then faded into a skeleton, making Dustin flinch slightly.
"No! No! No! I hate this overpriced bullshit! Son of a bitch! Piece of shit!"
Alex's brows subconsciously furrowed due to Dustin's sudden outburst. He didn't really like people yelling, but he knew that it would never change anyway.
"You're just not nimble enough," Lucas mocked the boy, a sly grin on his lips. "But you'll get there one day." He continued, getting a look from Dustin.
Alex let out a small laugh, but covered it up with a cough. "But until then, Princess Daphne is still mine." Lucas let out a small chuckle under his breath, leaning on the machine.
"Whatever," Dustin scoffed, "I'm still tops on Centipede and Dig-dug."
"You sure about that?" A voice from next to them said. It was Keith. Alex didn't like him, he found him extremely gross.
Especially the fact that the only thing he ever saw him eat were cheese-puffs.
"Sure about what?" Dustin's eyes widened as he looked at the brunette. Keith just munched on a Cheese Puff, not responding to the boy.
"You're kidding me. No, no, no." Dustin pushed past Alex, to go over to the Dig-Dug. The party followed close behind, wondering what he figured out.
"Move! Move!"
"No, no, no, no, no. Hey, no! No! No!" Dustin yelled in rage as he found the machine.
"751,300 points!" Will exclaimed, looking at the scoreboard in disbelief.
"That's impossible."
"How?" Alex questioned, both in his mind and out loud. And who is MADMAX?
"Who's MADMAX?" Dustin questioned the older boy bitterly, turning away from the machine. "Better than you." Keith shrugged, stuffing another cheese puff into his disgusting mouth.
Dustin flipped him off.
"Is it you?" Will asked, raising his eyebrows slightly. Keith let out a scoff of disbelief. "You know I despise Dig-Dug."
"Then who is it?" Lucas asked, getting a nod from Dustin and Alex. "Yeah, spill it Keith!" Dustin exclaimed, getting impatient.
Alex always preferred to stay quiet during arguments like these. He felt as if he'd say something wrong the argument could've gotten worse.
"You want information, then I need something in return." Keith smirked, his gaze flickering from Alex to Mike. The party then looked at the two brothers, "No. no way. We're not giving him that date!" Alex finally talked, raising his eyebrows.
