Man/Masky adjusted his rearview mirror and said, "So, who invited you to join us for this nice evening?" He looked back at me, Ashley, Todd, and Larry. Larry awkwardly chimed in, saying, "Well, mostly Tobias invited Sal over, but he decided to bring along us as well since we're all friends." His smile seemed a bit uncertain.
He chuckled, his tone of voice shifting slightly, "I'm glad that my little kiddo is finally making friends and getting along with someone outside of our family. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention, there's another person in the car that you might not have noticed." Out of nowhere, we heard another voice say, "Hi, the name is EJ or Evan Jack." Ashley yelled out, "Holy crap!" out of surprise.
The other person said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Plus, I'm sorry for being so quiet. I was really focused on my Game Boy." Ashley replied, "No, it's alright. I just tend to have exaggerated reactions, you know?" The other person nodded and said, "Yeah, I understand those kinds of reactions." As we looked at him, we realized he also had a prosthetic mask. We had a feeling that we were in for one big adventure on this day.
I asked, "I hope this isn't rude, but why do you two wear prosthetic masks?" The man driving at the front replied, "Mostly because I have insecurity regarding my face, and the mask kind of helps me. As for EJ, he damaged his face a long time ago, and it hasn't fully recovered. The damage was really rough, but we've learned to accept our unique traits." He parked the car in the middle of the park, and here we are. Toby, Jeff, Ben, and even EJ got out of the car.
Larry boldly said, "Sir, this is the middle of fucking nowhere!" the man replied with a calm tone, "Actually, young sir, we are somewhere. We just need to navigate through the woods, that's all." His voice had a slightly suspicious tone at the end.
The man surprisingly walked fast we needed to catch up to him as we did in gone through a few parts of the woods we finally arrived to their house, it looks tiny almost ruined in the wood felt like it was rotten
As we entered the house, it felt like it was bigger on the inside than it appeared from the outside. It had two floors, an open living room, and a tiny library. Everything was surprisingly clean and well-maintained. Our eyes lit up with excitement as we had never seen anything like it before. Ashley exclaimed, "Holy shit! Your family must be really wealthy!"
Toby: Yeah, Oliver is the one who brings in the money in our house. Tim, Brian, Alex, and Jay contribute in their own ways, which allows us to live comfortably and enjoy ourselves.
I could sense the excitement in the air as we heard someone calling out "Timmy!" from upstairs. A guy with a small mustache, tiny beard, and a unique haircut approached Tim and gave him a warm hug. "Me, Jay, and Alex have missed you so much! Where have you been?" he asked. Tim replied in a calm tone, "Calm down, Brian. I love you, but if you want to know the answers, why don't you ask the kiddos?"
Brian approached Toby with excitement, asking about Toby's experiences. "Hey, my baby, how has it been? Did you meet new friends? Are you getting along with your classmates? Is everything all right?" Toby reassured Brian, saying, "I'm all right, Brian. Yes, I did meet new friends, and they're actually here. So please, don't call me your 'baby.' It's embarrassing." Brian, taken aback, stopped hugging Toby and asked, "Honey, you usually don't call me by my real name, so what's up?" Toby replied, "We, and by 'we' I mean me, Jeff, and Ben, invited friends over."
Brian looked at me, Ashley, Larry, and Todd with excitement. He exclaimed, "It's a pleasure meeting you all! Quite a pleasure. I'm so glad you're my baby's friends." Toby, feeling a bit embarrassed, quickly interjected, "Brian!!!" His face turned red.
Brian teasingly remarked, "Oh, apparently my baby boy is embarrassed about his nickname in front of his friends. That is so adorable!" Toby snapped back, saying, "Could you cut it?!" Brian, taken aback, responded, "Somebody gained an attitude. Fine, I won't call you 'my baby boy.' Just know, Tobi, we have a lot of nicknames for you."
me and the group were left speechless as Brian walked away. Toby then turned to Jeff and said, "Jeff, could you go to your room? Me, Ben, and the others are going to have some fun in my room." Jeff followed Toby's request and went upstairs. We played a few games on the Game Boy before we heard a knock on the door. Before Toby could answer it, a man with glasses, a unique haircut, and a tiny beard approached and said, "Tobias! My little Ticci Clock." the man ruffled Toby's hair and added, "Just wanted you to know lunch is ready in a few minutes~" The man quickly closed the door before I could even get a word out. Larry asked, "Who was that?" Toby replied, "That was my other father, Alex. He's the annoying but caring one."
