The Elements

Chapter 5 Drama Queen “What about Simon and Lewis?” suggested Adam. “As old leaders of the pack, they’ll definitely come!”

“Come to what?” a heavily British accented voice asked innocently behind us.

“Whoa! Hi Lewis! Hi Simon! You scared us!” Paul muttered the last part to himself, being the overly dignified person that he is.

“I heard that, Paul!” we all shouted at him at once.

“Ok, so what is it you guys wanted us to come to? A party? A baseball game? What?”

“A mission,” I said flatly.

“What!” Lewis and Simon hollered.

“A mission,” I repeated.

“Uh, what kind of mission?” Simon asked nervously.

“A mission to save the world,” I said dramatically.

“You’re kidding, right?” Lewis asked. He looked ready to faint.

“That’s what I said when I first heard about it,” I responded.

“So, you want us to come, huh? Well, we’re in!” they exclaimed in unison.

“What are we waiting for?“ joked Simon.

“Five more teammates,” I explained.

“We were thinking of Tiff and Lydia,” stated Paul.

“How bout Bobby?” joked Jake.
