While Brand was away, Mikey calls Mouth, silently praying his friend can come over. Mikey needs someone to talk to, and Mouth can talk his ears off for him.

"Hello?"

"Mouth? It's Mikey; can you come over?" the boy asks, biting his lip. Please say yeah, please say yeah...

"Certainly," Mouth responds, and it isn't long before the boy walks in, unsurprisingly combing his hair. Mikey grins at Mouth as his friend plops down besides him on the couch, sharing the same stupid grin. This was gonna be fun.

Both Mikey and Mouth were passed out in the young Walsh's bedroom before three in the morning hit. They had binged on sugar, sugar, and oh yeah; even more sugar. Mikey had exactly ten dollars for spending money, and Mouth had five. Together, they went to the convenience store and bought as much as they could; candy, chocolate, and sodas. Mikey's bag was full to the brim with wrappers of an assortment of colors, and Mouth's hands were stiff with the coldness that the bottles of caffeinated drink brought. The second they were behind closed doors, they put in some action movie. Mikey chugged more soda than Mouth did, but then again, Mouth ate a lot more candy than Mikey. The sugar high would've been more than worrisome for the parents... If the parents were around. The boys wanted to go outside but then they didn't and then they wanted to climb up the walls and onto the ceiling and HEY LOOK A SPIDER! LETS CATCH IT!

That type of behavior went on for five hours, before the high wore off and they just barely managed to climb up the steps, before collapsing; one on the floor, the other just barely on the bed.

I'm so sorry this chapter is so short but I promise the next one will be much longer!
