I giggled as I threw the pen next to her head.

"Please stop, Dayana." Kylie sighed, "This is the reason you don't have friends except me."

I pouted, "It's not my fault they get scared of my craziness."

She took the pen and hit my head with it, "Just. Shut. Up."

I giggled and tugged her hair.

"Ow! Dayana!" She yelled.

I fell off my chair laughing so hard from her pain.

What? I know she's probably the only friend I will ever have in the entire world but craziness is unstoppable.

"Dayana! I. Am. Going. To. Kill. Y-" Kylie was cut off when someone knocked on our door.

"Beep." I replied.

Kylie hit my head as hard as she could.

"I mean, come in." I corrected myself, giggling at Kylie.

Julie, Kylie's twin sister, entered.

"Juuullleeesss!" I squealed.

"Uhm, hey, I mean, hi Dayana." She shifted uncomfortably.

"What brings you here, twinnie?" Kylie asked her.

I brought out my knife from my pocket.

"Yeah? What's up?" I asked her, "Is there a new mission?!"

"Y-yes. C-could you please ta-take that knife away?" She requested.

I giggled, "Nah, don't want to."

Kylie took it from me, "Who has a mission?"

Julie motioned her head towards me, indicating I have a new mission.

"Yay!" I exclaimed. "What's the mission?"

"Gang information has been leaked out to our rival gang-"

"All gangs are our rivals, which gang?" I asked, a creepy smile on my face.

"Let me guess, Armadillo?" Kylie guessed.

"Yep. They got the information with their hacker, Fre-"

"Freddy?! I missed playing with him!" I squealed like a little was told that she was playing with a family friend she hasn't seen since they last had a family dinner.

"Sorry Dayana, but this is gonna be your last play date." Julie told me.

"What? Why?" I frowned.

"You're gonna have to make him lose in another game of hide and seek." Kylie told me.

I giggled, "Nope."

"What?!" They both exclaimed.

"We're not playing hide and seek. I'm getting sick of that game." I replied with a giggle.

"I don't like where this is going." Kylie muttered to her twin.

"Me neither." Julie replied.

"We're gonna play Tag! It has been a while since I played that right? And since it's our last time playing, I need to make it special!" I squealed.

"Last time you played tag was with-

"With Gibby!" I exclaimed, "He pointed a gun to me so I was tempted. It was fun though!"

"Gibby? Oh, you mean Gabriel?" Julie asked, "The one who leaked out information about our gang."

I pouted, "I trusted Gibby but he didn't be a good guy. So I just played with him."

Julie sighed, "Alright. Our target will be heading to the ice cream parlor just a few blocks from here in five minutes."

I giggled, "Better choose a toy then."

"You're bringing one of your 'toys'?" They both asked simultaneously.

"Why, of course." I said and opened my mini-fridge.

"What are you taking out of your fridge?" Julie asked as she peered over my shoulder.

"Candy canes or lollypops?" I asked her.

"Candy cane." Kylie replied, not bothering to wait for her sister's reply.

"Alrighty then." I said and took out to candy canes wrapped in plastic.

"You gonna need an energizer, babe?" Kylie asked me.

I giggled, "I wanted to try something new. Maybe a new toy or something."

"Don't. Harm. Candy." They threatened.

"Is that a threat?" I smirked.

"Yes." They replied.

I laughed like a maniac. Oh, wait, I am one.

"Go! Four minutes more and he's there already!" Julie suddenly panicked.

▪▪▪

I waited patiently.

I looked around, good thing this place has rarely any people around.

I hear the bell from the open of the door.

"Hi Freddy." I greeted him.

He stumbled when I came across him.

"Wh-what do you want?" He demanded.

"Uhm, well, we're gonna have our last game today. I heard you have information about our gang."

"I-I haven't told my boss yet!" He defended.

"But I know you will, sooner or later." I said with my innocent face.

"So let's play tag." I said, "I'll count to five, so you could get a head start."

"You're crazy." He told me.

"I know, isn't it amazing?" I replied. "Now go. I'm a fast runner, wouldn't want me catching up to you."

He stumbled again, then stood up and took a step back.

"One." I whisper, taking a step forward and he took a step back.

"Two." I giggle and he takes two steps back.

"Three," he took off running.

"Four." I take out one candy cane and put it in my mouth.

"Five." With that, I took off running.

I run and run until I hear panting for air.

I-I can't kill him. I can't.

I shook my head. Shut up, I know you can.

I can't.

I shook my head and touched Freddy's shoulder.

"Tag, you're it." I whisper in his ear.

Then, started my real game.

"W-What in the world?!"

I turn around and my eyes widen.

"Uh-oh." I giggled.
