Jessie called on Saturday. At, like, 10:00. Who is up this early on a Saturday? "Hey! We heard that you stood up for us at lunch the other day. That is sooo cool! I mean there are a few people that like us, but they don't stick up for us! Not like you did! Anyway, the gang wants to know, do you wanna hang out, with us I mean?" I was sleepy, my hair is a mess, and I just want to sleep in. "Sure." I said. "Just give me a few minutes and I'll meet you in the lobby." She says back, "Well, Okay!" With that she hung up. I can only take so much pep, and she filled me up with that one phone call. I got ready for a day with my friends. I tried to be quiet for Mom's sake. I opened the door and Mom woke half-way up. "Honey.....Where you going?" She stirred. "Just out with some friends. I'll be back soon." I said. She said, yawning, "OoKay. Have a good time. And be careful." "I will Mom." With that I gently closed the door and made my way down to the lobby. I met up with Kenny, Grossman, Mira, and Jessie. I looked around, "Where's Dex?" Kenny answered, "I tried to get him up here. But he prefers to try and spend time with his sister." I nodded. I completely understand. It must be hard having a potential serial killer for a little sister. "So, uh, where we going?" Grossman answered, "To Tony's!" I gave him a funny look. "A pizza place, at 10:30?" He said. "No. We mean the Tony's down the street. It's a great Diner." Kenny stepped in, "Yeah, Gross here goes for that one arcade game there." He folded his arms and said, "You know I can't leave it alone until I get the high score." Mira said, "Oh, Please. That game has been around before they invented the wheel. For all you know you could be going against your own great grandpa." He shrugged. We all said goodbye to Mr. Gore and walked to Tony's. I hoped Dexter would come out already. I want to talk and hang out with him. Most of all, I wanted to help that poor little girl.
When we got to the Diner and Tony was the owner of the place. I recognize his kids from school. I have his his son in one of my classes. And I see his two older sisters in the hallway sometimes. We sat down in a booth beside the window and just talked. Me, Kenny and Jessie on one side, and Mira and Grossman on the other side. I decided to get all my questions out now. "So how did you guys get your powers? I've been dieing to know." They all shrugged. Kenny said, "I was born with mine." Jessie rambled, "I touched a forbidden relic in Egypt on our family vacation when I was five." Mira shrugged, "I don't remember. I think I got them when I was a really little kid." Grossman's turn. He shrugged. "My parents are convinced that I ate something radioactive." We all nodded, like that made sense. Kenny said, "They were probably right. Its called yo mamma's cooking."
Now it was on. They all started with the Yo-Mama Jokes. Even Jessie pulled out a couple of good ones. But I wasn't paying attention to that I was looking at the Giant Monster Lizard Stomping around town!
