We laugh and laugh and laugh.

Laughing is all we know how to do.

Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh.

It's all you ever do.

Laugh and laugh and pretend you are fine.

Pretend you aren't broken.

Pretend there is no war in your mind.

Pretend there is no insanity in your mind.

Pretend there is no inferno in your heart.

Pretend there is no lead in your heart.

Pretend you are alright.

Just laugh.

The laughter will fix you.

The laughter will make you better.

The laughter will distract you from your multiplying problems.

Our stomach hurts, tears are running down our cheeks.

The pain in our stomach only makes us happier.

Everyone is staring at us, but that only fuels our laughter.

That fight was the start of it all.

The birth of Insane, the world's most notorious fighter.

And now they know.

We bite our lips together and finally calm down.

Our face becomes completely blank. Blanker than that fake blank face Mr.Blackbourne uses.

"And that, children, is how we met your mother," We say blankly.

Seeing their bewildered and confused and concerned faces, we lose ourselves to laughter again.

We don't know how long we laugh for.

It feels like eternity.

It feels too short.

The laughter allows us to release our pent up emotions.

The laughter takes our mind off our troubles.

The laughter is fun and makes us hysterical and happy.

Laugh until you cry, laugh until you die.

Laugh until you have gone mad, laugh until you are no longer sad.

When our tears run out we slowly start to return to normal.

The boys are all standing there slack jawed and Dr.Roberts looks scared and concerned.

"Oh, boys, boys, boys... It appears you know now," We sing out.

Axel looks me straight in the eye.

"Arrow, we told you nothing could ever make us like you less. This changes nothing," Axel says firmly.

What?

They don't hate me for the fighting?

The pleasure of brings me?

The madness it brings?

The sorrow it brings?

Snap out of your pity party! I scold myself harshly. You think you have it bad?! Ha! There are people who lives much, much worse than yours! Suck it up and deal with it, Sang!

I feel myself harden and look at the Dr.Roberts.

"So? Can I join?"

"Let's get you initiated tonight," Dr. Roberts replies cheerfully.
