"Oh no, oh no." Dave turned to look at Josh, "That's my dad. He must be home early! We need to get out of here! He can't see me like this!" Josh quickly grabbed onto the door to stop Dave from swinging around again, and motioned to the window in his bedroom. Dave looked at him, then glared back at his brother and Steve and pointed. "I swear, if you tell him about this I will ring your little necks."
"You mean with you're one hand?" Damion stuck his tongue out and quickly jumped back, dodging Dave's attempt to grab him, which in turn, made he and Josh fall forward again.
"Dam it dude, we don't have time for this!" Josh grunted and heaved their body back to it's feet. "Let's get out of here and leave them alone." Josh wheeled them around and started dragging Dave to the window. They fumbled with the lock before opening it all the way. As they made their way through, Josh stopped and looked over at Damion passed Dave. "Can you guys please keep this a secret for now? For me?"
Something about the way Josh had asked gave Damion a feeling a duty. "Ya, don't worry about. You're secret is safe with me!" Damion and Steve looked at each other and nodded, giving Josh and Dave two thumbs up. Josh and Dave quickly closed the window behind them and made off.
"Aw man, now we'll never know how they got like that." Steve moaned and lowered his head. That's when the chain caught his eye. Steve bent down and picked up the fused chained, "Hey Dave, look at this!"
"Wasn't that the chain Dave and Josh were just wearing?"
"They must have dropped it."
"Here, let me see!" Damion grabbed onto part of the chain to take it from Steve, but it split back in two. "Oh crap, I broke it!" Damion quickly grabbed the other half and tried sticking them back together. "Oh man, they're gonna kill me. I broke their chain."
"Wait a second!" Steve took both parts back and examined them closely. "They were both wearing half right?! And the halves were stuck together right?! And now it's in two pieces! What if this is what made them two headed?! And WE have it!" They were both looking at each other now, wide eyes and mouths hanging open with excitement.
"We could finally be two headed!" Damion watched Steve put the chain on over his head, then Damion took the other half and was about to put it on when his father, Phil, came up the stairs, making both boys freeze.
"What are you two doing here? Shouldn't you be at school?" Phil asked without really needing the answer. He walked over and put a hand on each boy's shoulder, "You guys shouldn't be skipping school." He was about to add something when he saw the chain in Damion's hand. "Where did that come from." Damion stuttered and looked at Steve for help, but he had already slipped his half under his shirt. All Damion could muster without giving away Josh's secret was that the chain was Dave's. Phil saw Dave's door open and looked back at Damion, and took the chain from him, "And you know you're not allowed in your brother's room, let along stealing from him."
