We got to the park and sat near the fountain. The water fixture had water spitting out the middle which acted like a waterfall, gently falling back into the water that surrounded it. No one was around since it was around 2:30 in the morning.

"Guys, I really don't think being out here is a good idea. Come on, let's go home," I blurted. I crossed my arms over my chest, feeling the thick fabric from the cable-knit sweater under my fingertips. Damn, it was cold.

"I don't know. But we picked up their girls, I bet they are looking for us."

"It's too late now, here they come." Pony nervously exhaled a puff of smoke.
