"Josh. I've got lunch ready. Made some mac n cheese." Alexis says as she takes some mac n cheese off the stove before turning the stove off.
"Thanks. I'm starving." Josh says as he comes into the room while Alexis sets the pot of food down.
"Ah!" Alexis and Josh shout in alarm as something flies through the window and lands on the table.
"What the? A bottle?" Josh asks confusedly as he and Alexis see it is a bottle like the secret bottles in their hideout in the creek.
"It has a note in it. Like our secret bottles." Alexis says as she picks the bottle up.
"What's it say?" Josh asks as Alexis takes the note out and reads it.
"It's a note. From Craig. He's asking for us both." Alexis says as she looks at the note before at Josh.
"Well? What do we do?" Josh asks.
"I'm with Craig. I'm tired of letting the King push us around. It would mean a lot if my brother was beside me." Alexis says as Josh smiles.
"Count me in then. I may not be able to fight but I can be useful in other ways." Josh says.
"Glad to hear it." Alexis says as she smiles and grabs her staff.

"Alright. First thing's first. Everyone thank my mom for providing snacks. Alright enough of that. Please direct your attention to the screen. This is our feeder of operations. We'll split into four teams. Led by me, Kelsey, J.P. and Omar. Once we make our push through the front lines my team will head to the King's keep to look for the flag while Kelsey will lead Maney and the Ten Speeds search every corner of the maze. Omar's team will make their way through the sewers to fort Wisteria and J.P. you will be in charge of defending our flag." Craig says as the group hears a window open and sees Bobby.
"What about me?" Bobby asks as he climbs inside.
"Bobby? What are you doing here?" Craig asks.
"Please hear me out Craig. I know I've made a few mistakes. I just want a chance to make things right and to make it up to you." Bobby says pleadingly.
"Don't make it up to me. Make it up to the creek." Craig says as Bobby smiles.

"Listen up! This is a winner take all game of capture the flag. Freeze tag rules. The overpass is the border. Any kid tagged on the opposing side will be frozen in place for the duration of the game. The first to retrieve the flag and return it to their side will rule the creek. The game will begin at the sound of my sousaphone." Timekeeper says as she prepares to blow her sousaphone with both sides of the creek standing at ready for the game to begin.
