Nothing really happened much after the TV incident last night. I went to bed and so did Will.

"Ali." I hear Will call me from the living room whilst I was finishing my cereal.

"What?" I shout back to him.

"Is mom or dad in there?" He shouts again.

"No dad's upstairs and mom has gone to work." I reply to him.
He doesn't answer after that.

A few seconds later I hear running toward me. Will.

His face appears in front of me stopping me from eating my cereal.

"What?"

"I didn't go to sleep last night when I said I did."

"Is their a point to this story?"

"I heard mom and dad talking about the news report."

"What?" I ask him.

"Yes, they were saying things like; it's the end of the world, Nick." Nick's my dad. "and; we better keep them in the house. They are only aloud out for school." Will says to me.

"So it is the end of the world?" I ask Will slightly scared.

"I don't know but be careful, here." He hands me a nerf gun.
"To protect yourself." He tells me.

"How is a nerf gun going to protect me from these things?" I tell him in a 'Are you seriously more stupid than a 9 year old?' tone.

"Well what else are you going to protect yourself with?" He tells me probably thinking I won't answer or it will take me a while but I knew exactly what weapon I would use.

"Dad's axe." I tell him without hesitating.

"You would never be able to lift that." He laughs at me.

"Pfft you want to bet?" I ask him.

"You're on." He states, then we both dash downstairs and run to the shed.

I then get a grip out of my pocket, and hand it to Will.
He adjusts the grip and jams it in the keyhole. He moves it around a bit and then it unlocks, he turns the handle and widely, opens the door and then says; "Vuala!"

"Be on lookout." I make Will do as I say since I'm better than him.

I search the shed for the axe, matrix style. It went a bit like this;
Broom. Duh duh duh. Vacuum. Duh duh duh. Axe. Duh duh duh. Grab the axe. Duh duh duh. Prove Will wrong. Duh duh duh.
(Much Matrix many wow.)

I drag the axe out the shed and throw it near Will's foot.

"Watch it, nearly had my foot off" He proclaims.

I grip on to the end of the axe and use all my strength to lift the weapon.
"UGHHHH" I scream as I lift it in a warrior tone.

He laughs at me as I can't lift it.
"I'd like to see you do better" I tell him sassily.

He walks up to it shoves me out the way and with one hand lifts the axe above his head, Showing off.
