I sat in bed, just barely awake. I heard steps coming from downstairs. I shut my eyes and sucked in my gut.

"Wake up!" Nathaniel shouted as he jumped on my gut. I let out a 'oof' sound and Nathaniel laughed. I pushed him off my bed and he tucked and rolled. I got up and kicked his shoulder, not hard enough to hurt him. I pulled out a shirt from my drawer and Nathaniel tackled me.

"Dude," I gave him a glare and he handed me a box,"What's this?"

"Open it." he punched my shoulder playfully and got off me. I pulled out a outfit that looked like what my skin wears.

"How did you know my size?" I asked and he pointed to my drawers,"Are you gay or somethin?"

"Forget you!" he stormed out the room and shut the door behind himself. I but my skins red creeper hoddie with a neon green face on. I got into my dark blue jeans and slipped on my yellow sneakers. I pulled my TV forward to reveal a small box. I pulled out my sky blue sunglasses I had saved for this specific day. I propped them on the top of my head till it was time.

"You hear that!?" Nathaniel shouted.

"No!" I yelled back.

"Get the door!" he shouted, that had nothing to do with what I just said. I walked down stairs and opened the door. Edward and Mindy walked in as their skins. Edward was some sort of evil wizard but modern day. Mindy was wearing a fox hoodie and short shorts along with white sneakers. They came in and sat down on my couch, typical.

"Jordan will be here in like, 20."Edward said.

"Sup ya'll!" Jace said jumping in the doorway,  arms crossed. He had a green hoodie on and his blue hair stuck out a bit. He wore black pants and blue sneakers. He wore his light green backpack and he had something sticking out of it. He came in and wrapped his arm on my shoulders.

"What's that?" I stepped back so he could show me. He pulled out his diamond sword and pretended to fight mobs.

"Made it myself." he said putting it away. Nathaniel came down stairs in a black shirt with a flame on it, ripped up blue jeans, and Convers.

"When's Beth and Jordan showing up?" Nathaniel asked grabbing a soda.

"Like, 17 now." I said as I jacked his soda.

-- TIME LASPE --

Dakota pov

"Hey!" someone shouted and I heard a knock on the door. I opened it to see Beth in a magma cube tube top and a wither skirt along with nether rack flats. She came in and lied down on my coffee table. I dared not question her. I watched Jordan approach the door and I closed it. I heard him punch the door several times.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Trying to break down the door, duh."

"Okay." I opened the door just as he ran up on it and he ran right into a wall.

"Ha." Edward said pulling out his phone.

"So we all here?" I said looking around the room.

"Yep, let's roll!" Nathaniel said jumping up and punching the air.

We walked down the street in a arrow, collecting odd looks from random people. I walked into a forest and I check with my brother, Nathaniel, if we had everything. Edward gestured for us to spread out to find the trapdoor.

"Okay, Jordan and Nathaniel, me and Mindy, you and Jace. And Beth, your on your own." Edward said.

"Sweet, break." Beth said and we each ran off into our groups.

Jordan pov

I walked off with Nathaniel at my side, when should I tell him. It's been like this for 3 years now,  when will I allow myself to confess my feelings.

"You kay bro?" Nathaniel said putting his hand on my shoulder and stopping.

"Yea, I'm fine." I said and I felt my face heat up.

"You sure?" he stood in front of me, both hands on my shoulders.

"Yeah." I said again, my face getting hotter and hotter.

"Okay." he said and started walking, I stepped ahead of him a couple feet and I made sure nothing was around.

Edward pov

I walked down the horrible path I had made when I was little with Mindy at my side. I looked at her and she shook off her hood, revealing two fox ears.

"Wow," I said and she looked up at me,"You took your costume seriously."

"Duh." she said making a face at me.

"So where do you think it was?" I said looking around real quick.

"My fox senses tell me it's," she raised her nose to the sky,"That way!"

"Sweet." We ran off the path towards a thick part of the forest.

Beth pov

I ran, bobbing through trees till I tripped on something sticking out of the ground. I got a face full of dirt.

"Damn." I looked back to see my bow sticking out of the ground. I picked it up and I pulled a few arrows out of a tree. I knew it would be a safety hazard but, aye wtf, why not. I looked up to see a robot bird in the tree.

"I know where it is." the bird squawked and I followed it through the trees.

Jace pov

We walked for a while and I made a cut in a tree. We walked longer and I saw the exact same cut in the exact same tree.

"We're walking in circles." I said looking around.

"Thanks captain obvious." Dakota said and glared at me.

"Wait a second," I sniffed the air," I smell steel, steel arrows."

"Oh crap!" Dakota shout/wispered. We climbed up a tree and Dakota climbed higher to be lookout. I watch  Beth run around on the ground till she sniffed the air. I rubbed a couple leaves on myself till I knew my scent was gone. Beth ran away and I saw Nathaniel and Jordan appear. They looked around way more than Beth did. Edward and Mindy came out and were face to face with them. I gestured for Dakota to come down and we jumped down for the attack. I swung my sword left and right till the area was clear.

"Lol, that was legit." I said looking to Dakota who was nose deep in a crack in a tree.

"Race over." Dakota said into a walkie talkie.

"So we win?" I asked confused.

"Yes."

"Yeah!" I jumped up and gave him a hug.
