Chapter 4: That's Gay.

As our group of sociopaths ventured forth to complete their assignment, the 'Squad' unexpectedly encountered a much larger problem.

"Holy shit!" exclaimed one of them, startled by the sight before them.

Another member quickly advised, "Don't move, and it won't see you."

"That's a bird, not a pterodactyl, Justus," corrected someone else, trying to stay calm amidst the chaos.

Fear and panic filled the air as the group contemplated their fate. "Are we going to die?" Linus questioned, his voice trembling.

Justus, always one to bring up uncomfortable truths, replied, "Probably, considering it looks hungry."

Realization finally dawned on Thess. "...I did steal your Nestle Chocolate Milk," he admitted, guilt creeping into his voice.

"I fucking knew it!" shouted the aggrieved member, their anger seeping through.

The tension was momentarily broken as Justus couldn't help but burst into laughter. "LOL!" he exclaimed, finding the situation absurd.

Caught between fear and amusement, the group of friends faced the uncertain outcome of their encounter with the bird.

....

1 hour before the current scene unfolded, the Squad found themselves discussing their assigned roles for the project.

"I got the role of VP of Field Operations. What did you guys get?" Thess asked eagerly.

Justus replied, "Thess, didn't you choose our roles?"

"Oh, so I just..." Thess trailed off, realizing his oversight.

"Bunny chose my role, and Chamille wrote your bios and characteristics," Linus explained, filling in the gaps.

Thess shrugged, accepting the situation. "Oh, cool. Hey, do you guys remember... Thess, that's the wrong way," he said, pointing in the opposite direction.

"Justus sighed. "Really? I feel like I should go this way, though."

Linus couldn't help but interject, "Have you taken your dementia pill lately?"

Thess shook his head. "Linus, that's rude. Besides, we need to visit the tailor anyway."

Linus grumbled, "Buzzkill. Anyway, isn't Lucille buying all our costumes?"

"Yes, but we still need actual clothes after what happened on Boxing Day," Bunny chimed in.

Flashbacks

Silence hung in the air as the Squad remembered the peculiar events of Boxing Day.

"...Nothing happened on Boxing Day. We all somehow got our pants destroyed and then decided to get new ones on the same day, but we never got the chance or were procrastinating until now," Justus recounted.

Justus couldn't help but remark, "That's a new record for today, at least 220 words now."

"I swear we're the weirdest type of friends," Linus mused.

Thess pondered for a moment before responding, "Is that wrong?"

Linus chimed in, "No, it's not."

Thess glanced at them and with anticipation asked, "...Can I have my chocolate now?"

Linus and Justus simultaneously shook their heads. "No," they replied, denying Thess his chocolate for the moment.

....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After arriving at the tailor shop in Fourthtown. The city of Fourthtown was not always called this but it was after the 4 towns who lived adjacent to each other decided to merge and become the City we know today. It is unknown why...

"Thess...Thess...Thess don't ever stop*blurred*...Okay..?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thess~!"

"...I'm asleep.."

"Why can you talk in your sleep about eating?"

"I'd be hungry if I got all my money from a trashy job..."

"There's nothing we can do about that Justus since dum*** love here refuses our help..."

"It's not my fault you've all got families and things you'll need money for so It's okay to forget about me sometimes"

*silence*

"...Wanna eat you're chocolate now..?"

"Yes, Boss".

"Oh no he's doing it again..."

"Whatever anyway we're here now..."

As the rain seemed to think today was a good day to start raining as they entered the tailor's shop. Though they know just about every tailor in their district this one was the cheapest because the old man who works here doesn't remember the prices outside.

*ding*

"Hey, Old man Hubb's we're here with so more clothes for you..."

"He's not here Linus"

"Thanks, captain obvious you're such a help to society," he said sarcastically.

"Sarcastic ass****!"

"My nerves are saying this place is bad news..."

"Thess's it's been the third year you've said that...and look!" he said while pointing to a sign on the door.

|GO TO BACK FOR REPAIRS LINUS|

"K, you see he's here so let's get to stepping"

"My brain says this place is weird but if he can write you're name wrong then he's probably dying..."

"If you're sure Thess.."

"Welp that's it let's go..."

As they all went through Justus grabbed something and was moving something while Thess stared at the floor before going back to reality.

"I'm not though..."

*The Wheels on the hearse go round and round~!*

....

"Old man Hubb's where are you and also is this what the top floor looks like..?"

"Mr. Hubb is one of those old millionaires who like to sell old stuff while enjoying life which explains the cheap prices he does".

"...We should stay upstairs until I stop hearing the wheels on the bus in my head"

"Please don't make this creepier than it already is please..."

"Okay I'll stop talking then"

"Thanks..."

"Anyway wanna touch the obvious trap stuff he has on the wall"

"For once Justus is making the stupid decisions but sure.."

After moving towards the wall he then beings to push and pull the various things around the room and nothing has happened.

"It's probably a bookcase or something..."

"Wanna play Uno again, Justus~~"

"...Time to lose heavily"

....

50 Minutes Later

....

"UNO!!!"

"GET F***ED LOSER!! AHAHA GIT GUD!!"

"SHUT UP MINUS!!!"

"+4!!!"

"YOU B**** I HAD 2 CARDS!"

"WHO'S THE LOSER NOW!!!!

"Guys he's here now..."

"Oh..okay well give me my stuff...okay let's get this done before my parents call.."

"Duck.." Thess yelled with the same face he always has before pushing all of them down as a scaly and slimy tail pierced their position a half second later.

*ROARRRR!*

"Wow, this is a terrifying beast coming to kill us huh..."

"yep so wanna run Linus..."

"Don't move and it can't see you"

"That's bird and pterodactyls, Justus".

"...Are we going to die?"

"Probably Thess since it's hungry"

"...I stole you're Nestle Chocolate Milk"

"I KNEW IT!"

"Laugh out loud-!

As its weirdly shaped long arms swept destroying the stairs as Thess stared at the wall before finding a pin and inserting it into a key opening a classic secret passage.

"Reptiles are cold-blooded mammals, Justus"

"Are you guys having another implying conversation without me?"

"Yes Linus"

"How sad..."

"Grrr...."

"Wanna go through the narrow tunnel where you cannot jump without hitting the ceiling.."

"Yeah.."

As they walk slowly towards the door in a single file line until Linus drops an ink cartridge.

*clink*

*stare*

"In three seconds Thess and Linus, you need to run okay?

*silence*

As he turned to see nothing there.

"Ass****s"

As he ran through the tunnel as the semi-lizard did nothing and went back to the base floor breaking multiple wood slabs.

"Wait...?

---------------------------------------------------------

Morning Schedule:

Thess: "I wake up and take a 30-minute shower before buying more chocolate while eating chocolate then I go to Justus so he can give me the chocolate he owned me from grade 5 and then go to school...Can I have my stuff back Linus..?

Linus: " I talk with my Mom then run away before she can ask about my grades and then I take to Jacob and Rosy my brother and sister and I'm very secretive about what happens next"

Justus: *Points a gun* "DO you really want to ask..?"
