"Ok gang it's 5 PM,we should start moving now," Peter said while crawling towards the sewers. "Don't keep me waiting."
"For crying out loud," Emily was annoyed by the whole ordeal. "You owe me a lot."
"Yeah yeah, I'll just added on the dairy."
"What dairy?" Anggelo asked curiously.
"Ever since we were kids we bought two diaries. One for me and one for him,there we would write what we did for each other so the other could "pay" one day. Doesn't matter how long after will it be as long as we eventually "pay" our depts." Emily explained.
"Ahh I see, how's that going so far?"
"I have a couple more to pay back," she tuned to Peter and asked sarcastically, "how about you? How many more depts so you owe me?"
"I don't know lost count," Peter said without much interest in the conversation.
"You don't like it huh?"
"I promised to pay you back eventually and I will do before we die, don't worry about it." Peter said calmly.
"Oh thanks that's very reassuring," Emily said in a tone of irony.
"If he owes more then why do you have depts to him as well?" Anggelo asked.
"Because we request each other different things,for instance if I ask him to come shopping with me then the only way I can repay is by going shopping with him. I can't repay him by giving him a haircut."
"I see."
"Unfortunately for me,peter requests the biggest bullshits out there and he can never repay me."
Emily said glaring at peter.
"I- uhm can feel that... Stop looking at me." Peter said feeling uncomfortable.
"You don't like the truth, do ya?" She asked sarcastically.
"Did you request me something like this and I declined?" Peter responded angrily.
"WHY WOULD I?" Emily screamed back.
"You know this isn't going anywhere."
She scoffed,"yeah, we've talked about this over and over again."
Suddenly the group hears splashes sounds coming in front of them.
"What is that?" Peter asked,"do y'all think the other group is here?"
"I don't know Μαλακά, it's too dark in here," Anggelo complained.
"Wait a sec."
Peter grabs his backpack and takes a flashlight on his hands and turns it on, then Peter's group watched Ann fighting with a crocodile in the water.
"Holy shit." The group screamed.
"Guys is that you ?" Asked John from the other side where peter pointed the flashlight towards them.
"W-Why is she fighting that alligator?" Emily asked.
"Actually it's a crocodile-" Peter was about to correct her but Emily closed his mouth.
"Because she's having fun doing it, BECAUSE IT ATTACKED US THAT'S WHY." Ava yelled at them.
"Shit what do we do?" Anggelo asked overwhelmed by the situation,"we can't leave her here like that,did you call the police?"
"There's no phone signal down here,how we were supposed to ?" Eva asked panicking.
"Alright guys don't panic and stay calm... I think I have an idea." Peter said in an attempt to calm the others.
"What's that?" Emily asked in a hurry.
"Don't worry about it, I'll help Ann so you go climb the ladder now."
The others were hesitant but went on with it and got out of the sewers.
"ANN CAN YOU HEAR ME??" Peter yelled so Ann could hear him.
Just then she gets her head up to breath some air.
"YEAH I'M LISTENING." She screamed before going back down to keep the crocodile from eating her.
"YOU SHOULD TAKE THE CROC WERE I'M GOING , I'LL LEAD YOU TO THE PORT DOWN TOWN OK? THERE WE'LL THROW IT TO THE OCEAN AND WE CAN GO BACK TO WHERE WE LEFT OFF." Peter screamed waiting for a response.
She puts her hand out and thumbs up him.
"OK LET'S GO." Peter screamed starting to go with the flow of the sewage.
Meanwhile Anggelo,John,Eva and Emily:
"No wonder nobody heard us, what the hell is going on here?" John says while looking around and seeing people fighting eachother over some piece of clothing and even a car blowing up.
"Where the hell is the police?" Anggelo looked around confused.
Then they see a police officer crashing his car in a building in front of them.
"GIVE THOSE SHOES AND DON'T RESIST OTHERWISE I WILL SHOOT." the police officer yelled.
While the other guy pulled his phone out from the pocket,started recording and explained the situation.
"TAME THE PHONE DOWN AND GIVE ME THE SHOES!"
"THIS IS FOR MY OWN SAFETY!!" the civilian responded.
"I REAPET,RAKE YOUR PHONE DOWN AND GIVE THE SHOES OR ELSE I WILL BE ENTITLED TO SHOOT!" The police officer threatened the man again.
"THIS IS FOR MY OWN SAFETY."
While the back and forth continued.
"Yeahhhhh, maybe cops aren't necessary in this situations." Anggelo said realising the situation.
"To be honest last year was much worse," Eva said calmly.
"True," Emily agreed,"don't get me started on the year before that."
"Ohoho, I remember clear as day."
"ARE YOU KIDDING US?" John yelled, "WE WERE ATTACKED BY A CROCODILE AND NOW THIS AND YOU LOOK UNBOT-"he takes a deep breath to help him cope. "Forget it," John said sounding defeated, "what should we do for the other two?"
"They'll figure it out,or at least I hope so," Anggelo tried to reassure himself,"wait,"
he looks around,"where are the girls?"
John also realised the were missing.
"Shit what do we do?" John asked panicked.
"I DON'T KNOW."
Mario's group:
They are inside Lucilia's house because of the commission outside.
"IS IT ALWAYS LIKE THIS ??" George and Mario asked in Union.
"Yep," Lucilia answered casually, "the shops open earlier and close earlier than usual during black Friday ."
"Oouure malaka,"Mario yelled frustrated,"how will I buy the ps6 in this situation? I just know the others are already there."
"Don't be so sure," Lucilia said comforting him.
"Why's that?" Mario asked confused.
"Because games stores or stores with electronics don't open today because they're afraid of the damage."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THEN," The boys yelled at her.
"Because it would ruin the vibe,like look at us,this js the first time the group has gone out together in ages and we're all having fun, Isn't it right boys?"
Back to Ann and Peter:
"Shit sorry pit,it was stronger than me," Ann said while trying to catch her breath.
"Don't worry,you should just keep busy for a little more so I can figure things out," peter said.
The crocodile was trying to get up from the sewage but the water was too strong.
"How far from the port are we?" Ann asked.
"How should I know? I don't have a gps on me."
"I think we will be able to get out of here just in time-"
Peter cuts her off.
"Hell no, I'm not surrundering to a species that is nowhere near the level of that of a human,let me check my backpack."
Peter started searching and he found a pot of steel and a camp stove.
"Look at this," Peter said in a proud tone.
"What will you do with it ? And why did you take it with you?" Ann was more confused than scared.
"You'll see,just distract it with this,"Peter lends her a short spear.
"YOU HAD THIS ON YOU THE WHOLE TIME??" Ann asked furiously .
"I DIDN'T KNEW EITHER," Peter cuts her off, "GO NOW."
Ann decided to do as Peter said even if she wasn't sure what the plan was.
Peter filled the pot full with water and put on the camp stove at the max temperature.
"Can you continue doing that for the next 20-30 minutes?"
"WHY SHOULD IT TAKE THAT LONG?"
"To make sure it's hot enough silly."
"UGHH,I DON'T THINK I CAN DO IT FOR THAT LONG."
"It's ok ,when you're tired tell me to come there."
After the 20 something minutes passed Peter opened the crocodile's moth (somehow) and put the spear there to keep it open.
"Ohh Captain meine captain you'll be MISSED."
Peter said as he grabbed the hot pot and threw it inside the crocodile's mouth.
The crocodile thew the spear away but he accidentally swallowed the pot and died instantly.
He then exploded.
"How did-"
"Don't ask...not even god knows, I think."
After a little bit of more silence Peter spoke up.
"So uhm, do you want to continue the mission?"
"Hell yeah", without a second though Ann got up to the streets and started running at full speed.
"HEY THAT'S CHEATING",Peter yells as he chases her down.
As they're closing in to the store Ann screams at peter.
"YOU LOSE FRIENDO."
"IF I GO DOWN, WE'RE GOING DOWN TOGETHER".
Peter screams as he jumps on top of her and they both start rolling in front of the store.
"THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM DUDE??"
"I didn't do anything."
Just as Ann was about to hit Peter Anggelo ran up to them.
"Ohh guys I'm so glad you're back,we were getting worried."
The rest of the group approaches.
"Damn that was a hard fall", Mario said.
"Ohhh damnit, I lost didn't I?" Peter said in disappointment.
"Well we all lost".
Ann and Peter were confused,then Mario pointed towards the store.
"WAIT IT'S CLOSED??" They both asked in shock.
"That makes no sense", Ann said with an angry tone,"my cousin promised me he would help today to get the ps6,why would he say that if he knew they were closed?"
She quickly covered her mouth.
"I meant -"
"Save it", Peter said giving her a look of disappointment.
He sighted.
"Guess the day was a failure huh?"
"Well not for all of us," Emily said pointed at the shopping bags she and Eva got.
"Yeah yeah ,if you say so."
"You know we can still go and eat something in one of the restaurants." Lucilia suggested.
"Yeahhh, ok the last one to arrive at Makis' has to pay the bill for all of us."
Peter said after started running and the others following.
"I'm saying right now ok, I'm not paying for anyone's meal" , John said in protest while the rest of the group started giggling.
Also they didn't even give a damn about the street where all the stores are at (where they were standing), wonder who will pay for the damages.
