“The phone line is working again.” Scott said, putting down the phone.
“The door opens.” Said Bob, closing the door.
“Why is everything working now?” Clint wondered out loud.
“This is so odd.” Said Dave.
“No kidding.” Said Clint.
“I’m going to change, ok?” Bob said, walking upstairs.
“Me too.” Said Dave, following him upstairs.
Clint and Scott looked at each other, and followed their brothers upstairs.
2 hours later…the telephone rang…
Dave walked to the phone. “Hello?”
“Hey Dave! It’s Sheena. Becka is over, so do you want to come over too? Oh yeah, sorry I called so early.”
“That’s ok. We didn’t exactly get any sleep.” Dave said.
“Sorry to hear that.” Said Sheena. “So, could you all come over?”
“Yeah. See you soon.” Dave said and hung up.
Dave walked back into Scott and Clint’s room where they were all gathered.
“Becka is over at Sheena’s house, and they want us to come over.” Dave said.
“Sure.” The other guys said and walked across the street to Sheena’s house.
“Hey guys!” Sheena said with a smile as she greeted them.
“Hey Sheena.” The guys answered with a yawn.
“Oh my, you guys ARE tired.” Said Sheena with a worried look.
“Very tired.” Clint groaned and rubbed his eyes.
“Poor guy.” Sheena said. “Becka is inside. Why don’t you have breakfast with us?”
“Sure.” Dave walked into the kitchen. “Hey Becka.” Dave gave his best friend a hug.
“How are you?” Becka asked.
“Tired.” Dave groaned.
“Aww.” Becka said.
“Hey Becka.” The rest of the guys said when they walked into the kitchen.
“Hey guys.” Becka smiled. “Wow,” she said when she saw the bags under their eyes, “You guys ARE tired.”
“Very tired.” Clint said again.
“Why don’t you just rest and sleep in here. We’ll keep you company.” Suggested Sheena.
Becka nodded. “Yeah.”
“Thanks. “Dave, Scott, Clint and Bob trudged down to the basement. As soon as Dave’s head touched the pillow on the couch, he fell into a deep sleep. The others looked at each other in amazement.
“That was fast.” Scott said. He leaned his head back in an armchair, and drifted off to sleep.
Clint fell asleep on another armchair, while Bob fell asleep in a beanbag chair. Becka and Sheena watched in amazement.
“They didn’t even eat breakfast yet.” Sheena commented, sitting down on the couch. Becka joined her friend on the floor. They watched as their 4 best guy friends sleep peacefully.

“Lara, Sid is really dangerous.”
“Scott, I know.” Lara replied, her long blond hair pulled into a braid. “You must stay away from him.”
“What does he have to do with me?”
“The Curse.”
“What do you mean, curse?” Scott asked the beautiful girl.
“Watch out!” Lara suddenly screamed, grabbing Scott’s hand and yanking him hard. A figure ran passed the both of them and crashed into a bunch of garbage cans. Sid. Sid quickly got up, and ran towards Scott, his little feet pitter-pattering. Scott and Lara ran out of the dark alley. Sid was nowhere to be seen.
“Phew!” Scott caught his breath. “Lara are you ok?” Scott looked up. “Lara?”
She was gone.
