"It's dinner time Mikey, why don't we go home?" Chunk sighed "Home? What home? In a couple more hours it ain't gonna be a home anymore.." Mikey trailed off, "come on guys, this is our time, our last chance to see if there is any rich stuff."
We all exchanged looks, "goonies stick together" I spoke. "and die together you know.." Chunk said. We all groaned "chunk!!"
"I meant it as a compliment. Gee guys" Chunk rolled his eyes.
"Get down, get down!" Mikey pulled my arm, we ducked as the vehicle drove by.
"I wonder whe-"
I felt a hand touch my shoulder, "Ah fuck." I shouted, two girls started laughing..
Ah good ole stef and Andi, the two jerks.
or as I call them.. barbies.
Because for one.. Stef always likes to tease me about zoning out, and Andi, well she never did anything to me. But she laughs along with Stef.. And Stef's younger brother who is a year older than me, Jonathan, He's actually a really nice boy. He has glasses just like Stef
"Ha, holy shit.. you shoulda seen the look on your face June." Stef laughed "ha, ha, ha" I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes. "Good One Stef" Kelsey laughed as they both did a high five.
"You guys are a bunch of assholes"
"Hey Mouth, you look better from behind"
"yeah? Wanna see something really scary? Take a look at this" mouth pulled out a mirror and made Stef look at herself, I couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you guys doing here anyway?" Kelsey asks the two girls. "we left Troy" Andi said "why? Isn't that your boyfriend?" I asked "well, ex boyfriend now." She said "sorry about that.." I trailed "it's okay, June" Andi smiled.

"Hey June.." Jonathan smiles "Hey Jon" I said "so.. how are you doing?"
"Sorry, we can't chitchat, bye" Mikey pulls my arm, "I'm doing great!" I shouted.
I saw him smile, then laughed
"Why did you pull me away? I was talking to Jonathan." I said "Because." He said "Because? Because isn't an answer"
"To me it is"
"Damnit.. it's locked" Mouth said, "Thank god!" Chunk said "wait.. wait chunk.. I have some naked pictures of your mom, taking a bath? Real deal photos" Mouth smirked,
"What?!" Chunk sounded real furious. "Wanna look at 'em?"
Chunk was about to tackle mouth down but I pulled him out of the way, He charged into the door. Opening it up.
"Thanks chunk" me and the boys said. Chunk got up off the floor and looked around.
Kelsey ran in the restaurant along with Brand. They were all clamouring, except for me because I was too busy looking around.
I felt a tap on my shoulder, it was Kelsey. "You need to take your pills June." Kels handed me a bottle "where did you even get it?" I grabbed it. "Your backpack, you left it in my room again."
"Wait you were snooping around in my backpack? Kels!" I said "what? A big sister always has to check what their little sister is doing." Kelsey chuckles. I shook my head "Yeah.. thank you"
"Take it now." She says, I nodded.

The other two girls came screaming in about something or whatever, I wasn't really paying attention because I was looking at Mikey, how could someone look so adorable and good at the same time while doing nothing but yelling at his older brother... wait wow I'm a creep.
"Hey.. um, June?"

I turned my head to the left and it was Jonathan "Oh hi" I smiled "we weren't quite done talking." He chuckles "Yeah.. sorry about that, Mikey is just a little off today" I said "I'd be too.. Since Mr. Perkins is tearing down the goon docks." He sighs "what are you guys even doing here?" Jonathan asked "Don't take is as a joke alright?"
"I wouldn't ever." Jonathan crossed his heart, I smiled looking down.
"Well.. Mikey found something like a story from years ago in his attic along with a map, it said that there were treasure and rich stuff at One Eyed Willy's pirate ship somewhere hidden. And we've been trying to find it." I said, "wow.. that sounds like a crazy adventure" Jonathan says "tell me about it" I jokingly sigh. He laughs.

#Call Cthulhu
An eldritch comedy. After Cthulhu is summoned into the world, the whole place goes to shit. Things really got out of hand after Cthulhu got nuked. Alex and Julius, a pair of brothers, try their best to make it in a North America reshaped by an eldritch apocalypse. “Stop right there Philip!” Julius interrupted, the vein on his temple starting to throb. “I do not want to hear another simile about what magic is. I have had magic explained to me by three cult leaders, a wizard, and a cannibal. I've heard that magic is like a rainbow, all its parts blending together. The human unconsciousness, powerful and unknowable. A body, you don't want to eat the heart straight away. I am sick and tired of people telling me what magic is. I know damn well what it is.” He drew a breath, interrupting his rant. “Magic is a bad joke. A whole lot of setup, for some nonsense punchline. This whole god-damned apocalypse is an eldritch comedy.”
