Ashley and Gaz went out to the others.
-"This is my friend, Gaz Membrane." Ashley said to the others. "She said she'd help us."
-"Gaz?" Boris said. "You mean you're really the Gaz?"
-"I am Gaz, shirtless!" Gaz said. "There is no the Gaz, just Gaz!"
-"But are you the same Gaz who always beats all my high scores at the arcades?"
-"You're BTB? What the hell does that stand for anyway?"
-"Bare Torso Boris, what did you think?"
-"Beat That Bub… so I did, several times!"
-"That's not the best first impression I've seen!" Timmy said. "Thanks for helping us, Gaz! I'm Timmy!"
-"Don't mention it…" Gaz said, not taking her eyes of her GameSlave 3.
-"So what made you change you mind, Gaz?" Ashley asked. "You at first seemed so angry at me, and then you just change your mind completely. What's with that?"
-"You said that these cloak guys are after paranormal things. My brother was a paranormal investigator and always had a knack of boring me with his so called discoveries. One day, an alien started in his class. His classmates were all too stupid to see it and just thought it was a kid with an odd skin condition. However, my brother hanged himself several years ago. I just wanted to see what it is with the paranormal stuff that he was so interested in."
-"Sorry to hear that." Timmy said. "Aw well, it's been a long day. I'll head to the hospital to check how my dad's doing, see you tomorrow!"
-"Yeah, I think I'll come with you!" Tootie said. "I'm also worried about your father!"
-"I'll go home!" Mac said. "Going sugar berserk really tired me out. Coming Goo?"
-"You go ahead, I think I'll stay with Boris for a while!" Goo said.
-"I'll head home too." Ashley said. "It's been a really long day and my grandma gets angry when I'm late!"
-"Whiners!" Gaz said. "I could stay up all night!"
-"I'm no tired either!" Boris said. "How about a long night at the arcade, Gaz? See it as a challenge!"
-"Challenge accepted, and you're going down!"
-"Wow, this will be fun!" Goo said.
-"This is arcade games we're talking about!" Gaz said. "It's not fun, it's serious!"
-"I think I'll go with you!" Ben said. "This might get interesting!"
-"Mind if I come too?" Mandy said from behind. "I won't play, but I'll come and watch!"
-"Hi, I'm Goo!" Goo said to her.
-"Good for you!" Mandy said. "And you are also coming with us, right?"
-"Yeah, I think I will. What's your name?"
-"I'm Mandy, one of Ashley's friends!"
-"Do you have like a club here or something? It's spooky but kind of nice at the same time!"
-"We call it the White Lotus!" Gaz said. "It's an organization that was founded hundreds of years ago."
-"Cool, so you have a deep history too?" Boris said. "You have any remnants from that time?"
-"Only a painting from the early years." Mandy said. "Come in and I'll show you!"
-"Don't take one more step, Mandy!" Gaz said. "Are you seriously gonna let this guy into the club area? That's sacred ground for some of us!"
-"Fine, Gaz! Let's make it more interesting! You two play one multiplayer game at the arcade, if Boris wins I'll let him come in, but only to see the painting!"
-"And if I win, you will have to buy pizza for everyone of the Lotus!" Gaz said. "Everyone, including these three weirdos!"
-"When did you start caring about other people, can't I just buy you one?"
-"No, this is my way of punishing you for trying to bring shirtless into the Lotus!"
-"Fine… I hope you're a good gamer, shirtless!"
-"The name is Boris!" Boris said. "Bare Torso Boris!"
-"Are we going yet?" Ben said. "Seriously, the arcade might close soon!"
-"It doesn't close until 1 am, 3 on Fridays and Sundays." Gaz said. "So let's go!"
The party started to walk to the arcade. Meanwhile at the hospital, Timmy's dad was feeling good.
-"You ok, dad?" Timmy said.
-"I think so…" he said. "Why am I in a hospital?"
-"Oh… that's a good question… isn't it, Tootie?"
-"Yeah…" Tootie said, trying to come up with a lie. "Maybe the… flour I gave you last night was expired and the cookies made you faint!"
-"That would explain everything!" Mr. Turner said. "But why didn't you two faint like I did?"
-"We were… vaccinated?" Tootie said.
-"Where did you get cookie vaccine?"
-"Internet?" Timmy said. "They sold it cheap, so we couldn't resist!"
-"Well, the doctors said I could go home tomorrow so you two should go home and get some sleep, it's really late!"
-"Ok, bye dad!"
-"Why didn't you tell him?" Tootie whispered.
-"I don't want him to get hurt because of me." Timmy said. "The less he knows the better!"
-"Ok… I won't tell him then!"
-"Say, since my apartment was trashed by that Indigo guy, mind if I stay at your place?"
-"Sure, but you'll have to sleep on the couch!"
Meanwhile at the arcade, the game was on.
-"So what game are you playing?" Ben said.
-"Wow, they have lots of games here!" Goo said. "What genre of game would you like to play?"
-"Fighting game!" Gaz and Boris said at the same time.
-"Ok, then you'll have to choose between Täcken, Dead or Living, Alley Fighter or Deadly Combat"
-"The game is Täcken, 1-on.1!" Gaz said
-"Best out of 3, no time limit!" Boris said.
-"Let's duel!" They both said and started to play!
