Chapter One

A Great Team

Matt's pov~

Maxie laughs at Archie. Archie growls, knowing that he has been defeated by the person he hates most in this world. I can see the broken, sad, hurt look on Archie's face. It made my insides boil. I'll show that Maxie a thing or two! "Alright Archie! Looks like I've beaten you, now hand over the mega-key-stone!" Maxie says with a devilish tone. "Not so fast!" I yell. Both Archie and Maxie look at me. "You want his key-stone, yer gonna have'ta go through me!" I growl. "If you win, you get my key-stone, but not his." I add. "M-Matt, lad, ye don't have'ta do that." Archie says with care. It was hard to disobey him, the way he sounded so caring of me and my jey-stone. "I know, but I want to… for you." I say. He smiles and nods. I throw out my sharpedo and hope for the best.,.

Archie's pov~

He did it… the lad did it… fer me? But why? He jest sounded so carin' that I obviously think he'd do anything for me… He won. I'm glad he did, didn't wan't me first mate to lose his key-stone. He walks beside me and stands there, then he nudges me. "Thank ye lad."

I whisper to him. "Anything for ma bro." He replies chuckling a bit. Maxie stands there, stunned. "I DEMAND A KEY-STONE, I WON AGAINST ARCHIE FAIR AND SQUARE!" he yells. "That's too bad." says Shelly smirking. Maxie storms off stomping with every foot step.

Me, Shelly and Matt just crack up and laugh. We go home.

Matt's pov~

I did it, I won for him. I'm glad I did, but the expression on Maxie's face… priceless. ha ha. I just hope Archie doesn't lose all respect for me and disown me when I confess to him about my fantasies for him. God… I hope that doesn't happen
