"We just felt it was a little derivative in parts" max says "what are you talking about?" Lucas asks us "we jsut wish it had a little more originality that's all" I say "you dont believe me?" Lucas asks "Lucas come on seriously?how gullabke do you think we are?" Max says laughing "why would I make this up" "I dont known impress us or something?" I say "mainly you" max says quietly and I hit her arm "or you're jsut like, insane" "I tell you all of this I mean, top secret stuff, risking my life. And this is how you to react" he says stunned "risking your life?"max says mocking him "oh so this is funny to you?" "Yeah I mean-" I look and see his serious face "kinda funny" I stand up and grab my board and max does the same "stupid" "but kinda funny" max says finishing my sentence as we walk to the door "where are you going?" "Stroy times over, isnt it?" Max says and we walk out "what's wrong with you?" He says to me "I gave you what you both wanted" "we wanted to be apart of the group not apart of some joke" I say to him "it's not a joke" "you did a good job. Okay?" Max says "you can go tell the others we believed your lies if it gets you experienced points or whatever" I say and we walk to dig Dug.  He grabs both of our wrists "we have a lot of rules in our party but the most important is 'friends dont lie'.never ever no matter what"i give him the 'are you serious' look and rip the out of order sign off of the game "is that right" max says as I'm doing so "then his do you explain this" I say sticking it to him

Max says "lower your voice" Lucas says "or maybe it was to protect me from the demagorgan teom another dimension?" "Melanie, max I'm serious shut up!" "Oh no, no!" Max says "you know what it was? It was eleven. The girl-" I get cut off by Lucas's hand going over my mouth to sto one talking "stop talking" he looks around "your going to get us killed. do you understand?" I remove his hand "your serious?" Max says "I really wish I wasnt" I shake my head "prove it" I say "I cant" "so what were supposed to jsut trust you?" Max says "yes" then i hear a car screeching.
