Joey bounced the basketball up and down in attempt tp break Kevin's concentration. When that didn't work, he tossed it to Chris, who faked a left, got past Howie and went in for the score.
"22-20, *NSYNC wins," said Chris.
Cheers went up from five of the guys. Four just walked towards the bench and one started to walk to the other end of the gym to get a drink of water. The first five then walked over to the bench. The group of friends had rented out the local gym for the afternoon so they could have some privatcy.
"Don't feel bad," said Justin.
"He's got a point," said Brian. "We did cream 'em last time."
"You didn't cream us!" protested JC.
"20-10. No, we didn't cream you at all," said Kevin and the others laughed.
All of the sudden, there was a yell from the other end of the gym. The nine of them raced down there.
"AJ, what's wrong?" asked Howie, wondering what would cause his best friend to yell like that.
"The water."
"What could be wrong with the water?" asked Lance.
AJ said nothing, just pressed down the hutton on teh fountian. Out came the water. It was black.
"Hey, it's like the stuff in X-Files," said nick. "It's the black oil. Actually, the aliens call it purity.."
"Nick! This is not X-Files," Brian told him.
"Yeah. There aren't any aliens out there," said Jpey.
"Guys, sorry to interupt you-but the stuff's moving," JC told them.
They all looked at the stuff. It was moving. They all moved back. It actually looked like it was trying to get out and get at them.
"Maybe we should leave," said Howie. This black oil stuff was freaking him out.
"We can go to my house," Nick said. "And I can show you guys the X-Files movie."
"Whatever," said Howie. "Let's just get out of here."
They all headed for the exit.
