"I'm the king of ping." Henry exclaimed.

"I'm the master of pong!" My dad remarked.

"Look out now!" Henry yelled.

The elevator door opened and Schwoz blew the trumpet which made Henry miss the ball. My dad started to laugh at Henry.

"And I win again." My dad laughed.

"No!" Henry slammed his paddle down.

"Yes!" My dad reached for something under the ping pong table. "And that means I get to keep.." My dad picked up a big belt. "The ping pong championship belt."

My dad put the belt on while Henry stared at him.

"But Schwoz distracted me!" Henry complained.

"Hey." My dad turned to Henry. "Ping pong's about three things, paddles, staying focused, and small plastic balls."

"Why'd you walk in here and blow that thing?" Henry asked Schwoz.

"I found it in a dumpster." Schwoz replied.

The tube beeping sound came down and Henry and I's tube went down.

"Ugh, gross. You guys still haven't cleaned that tube?" My dad groaned.

Charlotte came down the tube, not blinking at all.

"Hello." Schwoz greeted.

"Hey, Char." I waved.

"Hey Charlotte." Henry greeted.

"Hi. Charlotte." My dad sighed.

"No thanks, I just ate a taco." Charlotte sat on the monitor seat.

"What's up with her?" I turned to the boys.

"Worry about her later." My dad told us. "Right now you, Henry, and Schwoz are going to clean that tube."

"Or.." Henry began. "I challenge you."

"To what?" My dad spat.

"To another game of ping pong." Henry replied.

"Huh." My dad gasped.

"If I lose, me and Audrey and Schwoz clean the tube. If you lose, you clean it." Henry explained.

"While wearing ducky pajamas." My dad added.

"No, don't make this bet!" Schwoz told Henry.

"It's a bet." Henry told my dad.

"He made it despite my protests!" Schwoz yelled.

Henry and I stopped talking when we caught Charlotte looking at photos of a girl on the monitor.

"Hey, Charlotte." Henry began to walk over to Henry. "Charlotte!"

"Charlotte!" I tapped Charlotte's shoulder.

"What?!" Charlotte suddenly turned over to Henry and I which made us almost fall. "What, what, what?!"

"Why are you looking at pics of Jasper's girlfriend?" Henry asked.

"Jasper has a girlfriend?" I asked in shock.

"Yeah, apparently. Her name is Courtney, we met her at school." Henry replied.

"Jasper's girlfriend is trying to kill me!" Charlotte answered.

"What?" I looked at Charlotte.

"Last night, I think she loosened some bolts in my ceiling fan. Because it fell and almost took my head off!" Charlotte explained.
