Celine went over to Max's house seeing that she wanted to go her place instead of going directly to her place. They reached her apartment where both girls are greeted by a woman with light brown hair wearing a yellow dress with a white apron. "Hi Max."
"Hey mom. I brought my best friend Celine and a new friend over he's an exchange student from Europe."
"That's nice come in, come in." Celine, Max and Loki came in and saw that Max's apartment was nice and simple. The walls were baby blue and there was beige tile flooring and the walls have picture frames. "Celine, have some red velvet cake. I made some myself."
"Thanks Mrs. Sterling."
"Oh, call me Hortensia."
"Max, I hear you got a B in history today."
"Yeah, Mrs. Langston said I get a B in creativity for my project."
"It's a good sign to see that your grades are improving."
Max shrugged. "Mom, my friends and I are gonna go to the Pine Barrens to play real life Slender."
"Oh no you don't Zack. I'm not letting you go to the Pine Barrens to do some Occult ritual. Plus, it's also a school night."
Zack groaned in annoyance and went to his room. "That's your brother?"
"Yep, my big brother Zack. He's 18, didn't go to college, holds seancés and does random Occultic crap."
"Mom if you need us we'll be in the parking garage."
"Okay, make sure you stay out of trouble now."
Loki shapeshifted back to his original form. "Celine, ever played Slender in real life?"
Her eyes widened. "Nope. Never played it and never intending to play either."
"C'mon! Aren't you tired of being a good girl and being everyone's little miss perfect?"
"I'm not anyone's little miss perfect! I'm just a good girl not getting involved in anything that might get us in trouble."
"But got the god of mischief with us! Just try and be a little mischievous for once. Life's too short to be playing it safe all the time."
"No! There is no way I'm doing this."
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Celine was driving a blue pick-up truck to the Pine Barrens. "This a really bad idea and why do I have to be the one who has to drive?!"
"Because, you have a learner's permit and I don't." Loki sat in the front seat next to Celine. "Why does this vehicle smell like rotting fish?"
"Oh my gosh! My dad's fishing stuff! He usually forgets to take them out and put it in the back. Sorry."
Celine turned the radio on and Hyuna's song Bubble Pop came on. Loki gave the girls strange looks when they were singing together. They saw a sign that said Welcome to the Pine Barrens "We're here!"
"What?"
"We're here! We're here!" Cried Max. The three got out pick-up truck to find themselves in the darkness of the Pine Barrens. "So why are we here?" He asked. Max ran to her dad's truck to find a lantern and three flashlights. "For each of you."
"I don't need a device like this." He showed the girls the green glowing magic he was making. "What is this man of slender?" Celine found a picnic table and Max set the lantern at the center. "Spooky scary story time!" She hollered. "They say that the Slenderman is a being described to look taller than a regular man with no face, wearing a black suit with these long tentacle-like appendages behind it. No one knows the exact origins of the Slenderman. Some say it's a stalker, others say it causes the disappearances of kids and teenagers!" Celine tried to hide her fear. "I got my video camera to see if we can get any footage of Slenderman." Max turned the lantern off and placed it in the back of thr truck. "What is this objective of this?" Asked Loki. "There are 8 missing pages that we need to collect and it ain't easy seeing that the pages are scattered in the forest. If Slenderman catches us, we're dead meat and we'll never be seen again." Explained Max. Celine turned her flashlight on and they journeyed into the woods. "I sure hope the batteries don't die." She whispered. Max was videotaping what's going on. "My name's Maxine Sterling and I am in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. I'm joined with my best friend who looks like she is going to be scared out or her wits if she sees Slenderman. So far no sign of anything yet." Loki found a page on a tree. "Cool you found the first page! One down seven more to go!" They kept walking and Celine heard something. She heard and ear-piercing blood curdling screech. "Max I heard something!" She said panicky. "It's probably the wind or Slenderman!" Max said evilly. "Stop it Max! You're scaring me!" Celine held on to Loki's hand protectively. She felt something in her. A twinge of courage and mischief. "You know what Max, screw this! I'm going on my own to find those seven pages!"
"Cel are you crazy?!"
Celine disappeared into the darkness to find the other pages. "Loki, this may sound a like a very stupid idea but, we should split up to cover more ground to find Celine." Loki went into the direction to find Celine and Max went the opposite way. He found a piece of fabric. It was green camoflage he's probably getting close to her. He heard an ear-piecercing scream. It's got to be Celine!
Meanwhile...
Celine saw something talk, dark and scary causing her to scream. Loki ran to where she was. This made her scream even more. "It is okay Celine. It's only me." He picked up the flashlight she dropped and gave it to her. She shined her light at the figure. It was revealed to be Zack and his friend. "Zack?!"
"Hi Celine. You're playing real life Slender too?"
"Yes, unfortunately." They heard the sou d of rustlting and out of the bushes came Max. "Celine! Don't ever scare me like that again!" She said pulling her friend in for a hug. "Zack?! Didn't mom say that you can't come out here?"
"Apparently, she underestimated the power of sneaking out through the window." He said smugly. "You won't be smug for now once I call her."
"No don't! Because if she finds out that you and Celine are out here too, we'll all be in serious trouble!"
Time skip to the drive back to New York
"Okay here's where we left dad's pick up truck in the first place." Celine made her way back to her penthouse with Loki. "We are never doing that again."
