“How can this be a finale? Are you crazy?” Kris nearly shouts.

Lay fidget uncomfortably and I slap Kris. He turns to me and I glare at him.

“It’s not that bad…” I mutter.

“HOW IS THIS NOT BAD? IT’S THE WORST!” Kris hollers.

“Lay, how do we do it?” I ask.

“Just put on the harnesses and then go onto the elevator thingie. There’s going to be a supervisor their, who’ll explain everything.”

“Are you serious? We’re actually going to do it?” Kris blurts.

“Well, we have to win first place!” I argue.

“We don’t have to win…” Kris counters.

“You were the competitive one before!” I complain.

“Well, we don’t have to be competitive…”

“Wow…” I give him a look.

“Okay, so being first place is good, but maybe right now’s a good place to stop…” Kris convinces.

“It’s not that bad…” Lay chimes.

I smile at him while Kris glares.

“Did you try it?” Kris accuses.

Lay doesn’t reply and just looks at him pleadingly.

“See? You didn’t do it either? Why do we have to do it?” Kris insists.

“Stop being so mean to Lay! He’s probably just following directions,” I defend.

“Lay isn’t as innocent as he looks…” Kris warns.

I ignore his remark.

“Anyway, it’s only one moment! Come on,” I declare as I drag Kris towards the elevator.

“It’s not a moment. It’s a couple moments if we fail the first time!” Kris argues.

“Stop correcting me… We’ll get it on the first try, I promise that I’ll do my part. If we fail the first time it would be your fault,” I state.

“No,” Kris deadpans.

“Why!” I almost scream in frustration.

“Do you know how rickety that looks? You will never get me onto that thing,” Kris states stubbornly.

I sigh and give him a look. He avoids my eyes. I start dragging us towards the elevator, but he doesn’t really help.

“LOOK. WE’RE GOING DOWN TOGETHER. IT WON’T BE THAT BAD!” I grit exasperated.

“You make it sound like you guys are dying,” Lay mutters.

“We are going to die,” Kris deadpans.

“No we’re not!” I sigh in annoyance.

“If you aren’t doing it, I’m doing it by myself,” I threaten, although it wasn’t much of a threat.

“Go ahead! Be my guest,” Kris says opening his arms.

I make a strangled noise and Lay looks at me sympathetically.

“Jade, you can do it with Luhan!” Lay suggests innocently.

I look at him in confusion.

“Why is Luhan a part of this conversation?”

“We can use him as a leverage,” Lay whispers.

Kris glares at him in which Lay avoids his eyes.
