Daniel and Peter glared at each other with Glenn in the middle, narrating as usual. "The twins have gotten into a fight. Over what, I cannot tell. Maya would normally split them up to keep them from fighting but she and Colette are currently at Colette's house having a slumber party. "
Peter shouted at the top of his lungs "I HATE YOU!"
Daniel fired back with "THAT MAKES TWO OF US, JERK!"
Glenn frantically tried to keep the peace, physically halting the twins. "The two clearly knew better than to fight one another. Especially since their friend was right in the middle."
"Glenn. Move. Now" Daniel said while forming a fist.
"Gladly". Glenn stepped a few steps backward. Daniel swung his fist at Peter. Peter ducked just in time and grabbed Daniel's wrist. He twisted his brother's arm slightly. It still hurt extremely for Daniel who cried out. Peter immediately let go as Daniel started crying.
"Are you okay?" Peter asked, moving closer to Daniel.
"I-I" Daniel spit out between sobs.
Peter tilted his head. "You what?"
Daniel kneed Peter in the stomach. "I TRICKED YOU! HA!"
Glenn picked up on the narration again. "It seems like Daniel has learned the greatest trick there is. Lying."
Meanwhile, Colette and Maya crept down the basement stairs. Both girls held flashlights in one hand and a cardboard sword in the other. Colette opened her mouth to give the battle cry before Maya shushed her. "We have to be quiet. Unless you want the monsters to find us." Maya whispered in Colette's ear. Colette nodded and gave a thumbs-up. She moved behind Maya so their backs were pressed against each other.
The girls swooshed the flashlights around the basement. Colette nudged Maya and whispered, "Found it." It was a pile of boxes far away from the two. The girls moved towards the box. They tiptoed in an effort to not make noise as that would alert monsters.
Colette gasped. A three headed giant snake hissed at them. "Where did that come from?" Maya whisper-shouted. Colette swung her sword at the snake. She managed to cut off one head. Unfortunately it got angrier and the remaining heads dived down to devour Colette and Maya. The two girls jumped out of the way. They split up and stabbed the snake on both sides. Colette used her sword as a ledge and climbed upon the snake. She pulled out her sword and sliced off both remaining heads.
The snake's corpse fell to the ground. Maya climbed over it. Both girls sat down to catch their breath.
They slid down. They were a few feet away from the boxes when Colette's flashlight began to flicker. "Do we have any batteries?" Colette whispered. Maya shook her head. Colette turned her flashlight off and the girls moved on.
The girls reached the pile of boxes. Both rummaged through them, trying to find the right one. Once they did , Maya carried it with Colette holding the swords in both hands and the remaining flashlight between her teeth. The girls moved faster this time. They got to the bottom of the stairs. There was a growl behind them. Both gave up on keeping quiet and quickly ran up the stairs. Maya put down the box as Colette shut and locked the basement door.
