Pump's father was enrolling him in a strange science experiment for unknown reasons, & Skid's mom was enrolling her child because Skid wanted to join Pump in whatever the heck this is. Neither child knew what they were signed up for. All they knew was October 18th. Today was Monday the 11th.

It's a typical day for the duo: school, explore, meet new people, buy candy cans, spooky dance.

Tuesday the 12th:

It was raining, so they stayed inside & played games after school. Pump was nervous about this little experiment

Wednesday the 13th:

"Pump, are you excited for this cool experiment?" Skid asked.

"No, actually," Pump replied, "I'm really scared."

"Don't worry, I'll be there too."

Thursday the 14th:

Skid's mom was making milkshakes for both of them. She was concerned about the safety of these children regarding the experiment.

Friday the 15th:

The days seemed to have flown by at this point. It's almost scary.

Saturday the 16th:

The weekend has come. Probably the only weekend that Pump was not looking forward to. The kids didn't do anything new that day.

Sunday the 17th:

The experiment was tomorrow. Skid was excited. Pump was not.

"Come on, Pump," Skid reassures, "it isn't gonna be that bad."

"How do you know that?" Pump asks. He didn't know, he just wanted to reassure him.

"Well," Skid states, "I'll at least be there if you need me."
