Hey you all!! I've been a little busy with the squad, but I can't forget this story.

*|=|*

SCENE FIVE

(The mood shifts from cheerful to menacing. There is a STOCKBOY in the back of the store, who tries to ignore them at first.)

"Again, he is real shady," Michael points out with a slight chuckle.

Jeremy replies, "You were there! You could've stopped me!"

"True... true..." Michael responds before going silent again. Jeremy had a point...

JEREMY

I like your sideburns. Wolverine, right?

SCARY STOCKBOY

Let's see the money.

"Again, he is very straightforward..." Chloe says, gesturing at the guy on screen.

Brooke says, "I wonder who it is..."

"Thame," Rich agrees.

JEREMY

Ah, what?

SCARY STOCKBOY

IT'S FROM JAPAN (He is also doing the odd hand motions that RICH had done before.)

IT'S A GREY OBLONG PILL

"It really does sound like a Tic Tac," Jake says, causing Rich to laugh.

QUANTUM NANOTECHNOLOGY CPU

THE QUANTUM COMPUTER IN THE PILL

WILL TRAVEL THROUGH YOUR BLOOD UNTIL

IT IMPLANTS IN YOUR BRAIN AND IT TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO

"It sounds a lot more menacing when he sings it," Jenna says.

Rich replies, "Well thankth, Jenna..."

JEREMY

...How did you know why I'm here?

SCARY STOCKBOY

Just look at you, kid. 

"O O F" Jake says, causing Michael to start laughing and snorting. "Ummm, please don't die."

"I'll... be fine," Michael laughs.

JEREMY

Aw...

(JEREMY pulls out the money.) That's four hundred?

JEREMY

Four?

SCARY STOCKBOY

Is that a problem?

JEREMY

No! Actually, there's a guy at my school trying to-

(MICHAEL makes a loud coughing noise to signal JEREMY to quit while he is ahead.)

 Oh. Four hundred? Well, if you insist.

Christine says, "So casual..."

(JEREMY hands over the money. The STOCKBOY presents him with a shoebox.)

JEREMY

Ladies' running shoes?

Jeremy says, "It would've been better if it had been ladies running shoes."

"Truth," Michael replies.

(The STOCKBOY opens the box...and pulls out a small gray pill. He holds it out for the boys to look at, breathing heavily, and not yet handing it over.)

SCARY STOCKBOY

Just so we're clear: this is untested technology. And it isn't exactly legal.

"Cause that totally makes it even better," Jenna says sarcastically.

Michael adds, "Doesn't it?"

Which is why you're paying for it with cash in the back of a shoe store. I take no responsibility for what you might do with it. Or what it might do with you.

"How did you just ignore all thethe red flagth?" Rich asks.

Jeremy says, "Like you can talk!"

Rich falls silent, but then says, "Why you calling me out like that, dude!"

Jake just says, "OOF."

JEREMY

What might it—

SCARY STOCKBOY

To activate, take it with Mountain Dew. Don't know why. It's just something about Mountain Dew. Oh, and, this is important—

"What was he supposed to tell me?" Jeremy questions, not really expecting an answer. However, Rich actually did.

He says, "Oh, he wath thupposed to tell you how to deactivate the SQUIP."

"THAT WOULD'VE BEEN GOOD TO KNOW!" Jeremy tells, clearly frustrated.

(JENNA ROLAN enters the store, and the STOCKBOY barks at her.)

Hey! I'm sold out!

JENNA ROLAN

Of...shoes?

"The genuine confusion in her voice is amazing," Christine says.

Jenna replies, "Imagine being told by a shoe store employee that they are sold out of shoes!"

SCARY STOCKBOY

(Realization) You're here for shoes.

JENNA ROLAN

It's a Payless...

"Such wow, much sass," Michael says, causing Jeremy to let out a long sigh.

Jeremy sighs, "Micha, I'm cutting you off of memes."

"You're not my dad, you ugly as fucking noodle-" Michael retorts.

SCARY STOCKBOY

 My bad. (to JEREMY) Scram, kid.

JEREMY

Wait, you were saying something important...

"Ya, really important!" Jeremy huffs.

SCARY STOCKBOY

Oh yeah. All sales final. (ad-lib to JENNA as he leads her off) Right this way! I gotta a fresh order of Crocs that are "lit AF."

Chloe groans. "Could he not?" she says.

Brooke says, "A for effort, F for execution..."

(MICHAEL and JEREMY walk into the food court, leading us into our next scene.)

"And heere's where shit goes down..." Jenna says.

Hey, guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a little bit, I've just been busy talking with and producing content with the BMC squad. Our group account on Wattpad, which you should totally check out, is TheSquipters and we have a few books planned/out. First off, we have an ask/dare book. We also have a book that depicts the squad's random adventures in Japan. Finally, we are working on a book that has each of us writing our character's backstory. Also, we have links to our other social media on that account, such as Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram.
But I'll put them heere:

Anyways, love you all!💜
