"Xav! Asher!" Bridget yelled.

"What?" Asher groaned as he and Xavier paused Mario Kart.

"Come here!" Bridget shouted exasperatedly, "Before Claire gets here."

"What is it, Bri?" Xavier asked, turning towards her.

"We're scaring Claire," Bridget explained, "Put these on."

Bridget handed them both a bloody fish mask and some black clothes.

"Bridget, she's gonna have a heart attack." Xavier laughed.

"Shut up, wimp," Bridget demanded teasingly, "There's nothing wrong with a little excitement here and there."

"Yeah, come on Xavier!" Asher encouraged, a smirk on his face.

"Fine." Xavier mumbled, giving in.

"Yes!!!!!" Bridget cheered, cueing in an Australian accent, "This is gonna be bloody awesome, mate!"

Bridget heard her phone ding, and then the doorbell to her house rung.

"She's here." Bridget hissed, sprinting to a hiding place behind the stairs. Asher and Xavier went to hiding spaces on the opposite side of the room.

Footsteps sounded through the room as Claire walked around looking for Bridget and the boys.

1...2....3!

Bridget jumped out from her hiding place, tackling Claire to the ground. Before she got the chance to scream, Xavier and Asher jumped out from their places and shrieked, attempting to scare Claire even more.

"Got you!" Bridget grinned, pulling off her mask.

"I'm literally gonna kill you guys." Claire fumed, getting up from the ground. "I hate you so much."

"Aw, I'm sorry Aire." Asher comforted, pulling her in for a tight hug. He gripped her around the waist and lightly kissed her forehead. "I love you."

"I love you too, Ashie." Claire breathed into his ear.

"Omg, y'all are adorable," Bridget squealed, "Now come on! We're gonna be late to the movie."

...^......^...

As the group started heading towards their car after the movie, Bridget really wasn't feeling like going home; it was only 11:00pm after all. So much fun could happen out during in the night, and Bridget's happiness partly depended on it. A night out with friends is what satisfied her hunger for excitement and mischief. 

"I'm driving!" Bridget shouted as she ran to the car.

"What?!" Claire exclaimed, "You're only 15, Bridget! You don't have your license."

"I know," Bridget avowed, "I live on a farm though; I know how to drive."

"Why would you even want to though?! Xavier has his license; he'll drive us."

"I want to show you guys something," Bridget cajoled, "Trust me, this is gonna be fun!"

"Bri-." Xavier started before being abruptly cut off by Bridget.

"Xavier, we'll be fine. Claire, we'll be fine. Asher, we'll be fine. Now come on people, get in the car!"

Claire and Asher looked at each other unsure before they continued forward and got in the backseat. Bridget got in the driver's seat while Xavier took shotgun.

"They say I did something bad; then why'd it feel so good? Most fun I ever had; and I'd do it over and over and over again if I could." blasted on full volume through the car speakers.

"Bridget, I love Taylor, but why are you playing this song?!! What are we about to do?!" Claire fretted.

"You'll see." Bridget answered un-helpfully with a smirk, keeping her eyes on the road.

Bridget pulled into the parking lot of Lowe's and got out of the car. The group walked into the store and followed Bridget to the paint aisle.

"Pick your spray paint colors everyone!" Bridget grinned, "Don't worry; I'm paying."

"Bridget, why?" Asher complained.

"You. Will. See."

Though slightly annoyed with their constant questions, Bridget was still bubbling with excitement. She had been waiting for so long to finally put the mark she wanted on a building: Mitch Grassi or MG '92 or PTX or Pentatonix '11. The last time she had went out graffitiing, her sister forced her to put something stupid like BZ '04. Literally, she had begged to put something about her idol, Mitch, but her sister threatened to not let her hang out with her and friend ever again, and that was a little more important.

Claire picked out a blue, while Asher picked orange. Xavier took a white off the shelf, and Bridget grabbed red.

After they checked out, Bridget drove them to a pharmacy so that she could get them some masks.

"Are we fricking robbing a bank or something?" Claire muttered, still in the dark about what they were gonna be doing.

"No, we are not robbing a bank!" Bridget exclaimed with a laugh.

"Then what are we doinggggggg???"

"Only a few more minutes, Claire."

"Ugh. I hate you so much."

That was expected. Bridget knew she was driving the group crazy by not telling them, but she needed it to be a big reveal, or at least to get there before they said no. That was her logic: get there before they say no, and then they can't say no.

A few minutes of driving passed and then Bridget parked the car on the side of the road. Everyone got out, and followed her to an alleyway, graffiti lining the brick walls of it.

"Go ahead! Put whatever you want on the building; we're graffitiing!" Bridget explained with excitement.

"Bridgetttttt, this is illegal!" Claire moaned.

"What'd you expect?" Bridget chuckled, as she began to put her mask on and grabbed the red paint. She drew "MG '92" on the wall with the paint, feeling quite happy and well, free. She finally was able to take control and do what she wanted, with her  friends. No sisters, and no arguments. Her parents weren't there telling her to be perfect, and teacher's weren't there to expect "the shy rule-follower". It was just her, and her people. Her absolutely amazing people.

...Quick Author's Note... yo naomi, Tayen, and Andrea, I really do love y'all. You three are all really really amazing queens and just ugh I love you :) <3333 ...Quick Author's Note...

...^......^...

"Okay but that was actually awesome!!" Claire beamed.

"I know right!!" Xavier exclaimed.

"And now we're safe again, now that you're driving, Xav." Asher joked.

"Hey! I wasn't that bad!" Bridget interjected.

"I think we're gonna have to agree to disagree on that one." Asher said with a small smirk.

"Oh whatever," Bridget sighed, "Hey, wait, Xav. Pull over right here."

"Uh, okay." Xavier responded.

Bridget had spotted what looked to be the best event in all of town: a horror festival. Eeeeeeeek that looks so fun!!!!!!!! She pulled out her phone and took a picture of the sign so that she could look it up later online to find details.

"Bridget, we are not going to that." Claire said firmly.

"Oh yes we are." Bridget smirked.
