Sue hung up the phone, upset that she couldn't get through to her parents – their phone didn't ring and went straight to voicemail. Then her face brightened. She had Axl's cell phone number. She picked up the handset and dialled Axl's cell phone.

"Go for Axman." She heard him answer.

"A-Axl?" she asked, her breath hitching.

"Sue?" he asked, noticing her tone.

"Everyone is making out everywhere, and there is beer." She said nervously.
Axl, distracted by the mention of beer sat up from his slumped position, his voice low and angry "Someone brought beer? Who has beer? Did they give you any?" he ran his hand through his hair, thinking he'd kill whomever it was if they did gave Sue beer.

Sue answered "Oh, I don't know. Some guy with pretty hair. And no, I stuck to soft drink."

Axl muttered to himself "Pretty hair?"

Sue continued barrelling on as if she didn't notice Axl had spoken "And they lit up incense. I'm not sure if it's illegal or not, but I'm pretty sure it is. I really wanna come home, but then everyone is gonna think I'm an immature dork for wanting to leave."

Axl said immediately "Dork or not, I'll be right there." Then hung up and snatched up his car keys and muttered to Sean and Darrin "Sue needs help."

Axl drove over to where the party was held, all the while thinking if anybody has laid any hands on Sue without her permission, he'd kill them. No matter who they were. He pulled up at the kerb and switched off the engine and jumped out and slammed the door behind him and strode up to the house and swung open the door and went down to the basement, yelling "Where's my sister? Sue Heck?! Sue Heck, I know you're in here!" Sue shakily put her hand up calling "Axl?"

He strode up to her and grabbed her arm and roughly pulled her towards the stairs all the while saying "Mom and Dad told you they didn't want you to come here tonight. We are leaving immediately. And if I ever catch you sneaking out of the house again Ah!" He glared at her meaningfully.
Sue, instantly catching on yelled "Oh, my God, Axl! You're the worst brother ever! Can you believe this? Just as the party was getting good. Man, this stinks!" she finished with a mock sulk.

"Go." Axl pointed towards the stairs demandingly.

Sue jumped and hurried up the stairs.

Axl gave the interested teenagers a glare and spun on his heel and followed Sue out.

He found her leaning against the passenger door. He stepped up and put a hand on her arm and said concernedly "Did I hurt you when I grabbed your arm?"

Sue shook her head.

"Good." He nodded his head.

"Clearly, I'm not ready for a boy-girl party yet." Sue said, staring at her shoes in despair.

Axl sighed and said hesitantly "You hungry? I haven't had a chance to grab dinner yet."

Sue looked up with a smile "Yeah, I'm hungry."

Within few minutes, they were seated in a booth, at the nearest Denny's; having a menu being handed to them by the hostess who tiredly reeled off "There is a special for couples on Valentine's Day, you order one meal to share and you get a free brownie with gummy bears."

Sue opened her mouth to admit that they weren't a couple, but Axl quickly put a hand on her mouth and said "Thanks, we'll do that."

When the hostess left, Sue pushed the hand off her mouth and asked pointedly "Why did you do that, Axl? You know that we're siblings?"

"Why not turn down free food?" he shot back, picking up the menu and reading intently.
