Damion and Steve had made it to the park and started to go to the basketball courts to see their friends, Charley and Rick. They laughed occasionally at Damion and Steve's joined at the hip routine but usually didn't like it. "I wonder what Charley and Rick will say." Damion said. "They'll probably be amazed."
They finally made it to the courts and saw Charley and Rick in the middle of a game of Horse. "S! Just one more basket and I win!" Charley said. "Oh no you don..." Rick said and didn't finish his sentence. Damion and Steve made a pose to show of their clothes and body. "Do you like it?" Damion and Steve said in unison. "Like it? What happened to you!?!" Charley said.
"Ok, so here's the story..." The boys told them everything, even forgetting their promise to Dave and Josh. "So that eagle chain, fuses two people together when they put it on?" Rick asked. "Yes, yes it does!" Damion said. "Thats kind of freaky." Charley said. "Are you gus permanently like that?"
"We don't know, " Damion started and Steve continued, "but we hope its forever." Damion and Steve smiled at each other. "I don't know if I like this. Its just not natural." Rick said. "Hey, I wonder if it could fuse us and somebody else together to make a three headed boy?" Steve said. "Oh my god! We should try that! Lets go see Alex to see if he will."
Alex is their other friend who really likes their "joined at the hip" routine. Damion and Steve headed off to Alex's house, leaving Charley and Rick in denial about their friends' condition.
