Ben's POV
I just finished packing when Mike barged in with Zoe, Jawa and Chip behind him. They all looked pretty excited to be going on a mission. "So Ben, any idea what SPYDER's planning this time?" he started. I just shook my head. "Well that's a shame" Mike said "I really want to know how Ms. E and Leo Shang escaped prison." "Maybe they paid off the guards." Zoe suggested. "Or maybe they had people working for them in the prison." added Jawa.
Chip didn't have anything to say since he isn't the smartess person in the world so he just grunted. "Have you all packed already?" I asked. All of them nodded. "I got an alias as Oliver Smith for the mission." said Mike, "Cyrus told me I'll be posing as David's best friend that came with him for a trip to Egypt, which isn't a problem since we're already best friends in real life." "You guys what to play 'would you rather'" asked Zoe. "Sure" we all replied.
We all sat in a circle just as Erica opened the door. "Hi, Erica. What are you doing here?" I asked. She blinked because of all the people in the room, which wasn't like her at all. "um, nothing," she said quickly. "Hey Erica, we were just about to play 'would you rather', do you want to join us?" said Zoe. "No, I'm good," she replied. "Come on it'll be fun," I insisted. "Fine," she sighed. "Hey guys, don't you find it weird that the only people Erica listen's to are Cyrus, Catherine and Ben," whispered Chip. All of them snickered, but of course, Erica heard. She narrowed her eyes angrily, "say that again and I'll rip your throat out," she said calmly as she sat down. Chip gulped and backed down.
"I'll go first," said Zoe. She turned to the person sitting to her left, which was Erica. She asked her, "would you rather spend a day with Ben or your father?" Erica glared at her, I was afraid she was going to murder her, then she surprised everybody when she said, "Ben" I was shocked but was inwardly grinning. Then she asked me a question that made my heart stop, "Ben, would you rather take me or Zoe on a date?" Mike, Chip and Jawa were on the floor laughing. Thanks for the support guys, I thought. Meanwhile, both girls were staring at me, waiting for an answer. "um, err, I think you...?" I said my face burning. Erica didn't say anything but Zoe looked hurt. Oh well. "Mike, would you rather sleep in a bed with Zoe or Chip," I asked. Revenge, I thought happily. Chip was disgusting so the choice was obvious. "Zoe I guess," he said. And so it went, we played until it was time for us to go to bed, since we had to wake up at 2AM later. I laid on my bed Erica said she would like to spend a day with me!!! I thought happily. Then made sure my alarm was set for 1 in the morning and went to sleep.
