It was a normal Tuesday.
Well, as normal as it gets when you're a group of absolute idiots who caused mayhem at every location you've ever touched.
We were all chilling in Kazuki's room, just staring at the ceiling.
"So... what now?" Leon asked while throwing popcorn into Crimson's open mouth across the room.
"We've robbed a private jet, dressed as fake teachers, fought the strongest guy in school, and got into a food fight at an airport. I think we've peaked," said Kai, scrolling through his phone.
"Nah bro," Crimson said, sitting up with a sudden jolt of chaotic energy. "What if we go bigger? Like, TO THE MOON?"
Everyone went silent.
Kazuki blinked. "You want us... to go to space?"
"YES," Crimson said dramatically, standing on the bed and pointing upward like a comic book villain. "The Moon. Mars. Saturn's Rings. Chaos... in SPACE."
"Can we even do that?" MJ asked.
"Well technically, we DID steal a jet once. How hard can a rocket be?" Leon said, genuinely thinking it through.
Kazuki facepalmed. "No. No rockets. No spaceships. We're banned from 6 states already. We can't add NASA to the list."
"Fine," Crimson said, plopping down with a dramatic sigh. "But one last epic thing. One last chaos before we cool it."
"What do you have in mind?" Kai asked cautiously.
Crimson grinned. Oh no.
One hour later
We were back at school.
This time... with a truck.
"Where did you even get this thing?!" MJ yelled as he held on for dear life.
"Don't worry about it!" Crimson laughed maniacally, spinning the wheel like a cartoon villain.
"Is that a cow in the back?!" Kazuki screamed.
"Yes," Crimson nodded. "Stole it from a farm 15 minutes ago."
"WHY?!"
"Because chaos!"
We crashed through the school gates like GTA characters, the truck spinning through the courtyard. Students screamed and scattered as we barrelled past. Crimson drifted near the cafeteria and the cow jumped out and ran down the halls.
"The cow is loose! THE COW IS LOOSE!" someone screamed.
"IT'S EATING THE VENDING MACHINE!" another student shouted.
Kazuki leapt off the truck as it skidded to a stop in front of the main building. "OKAY THIS IS TOO FAR."
"You said one last chaos!" Crimson shouted.
"I didn't mean unleashing livestock on the school!"
"Wait," MJ said. "What's that sound?"
Sirens.
"AGAIN?!" Leon yelled.
"They're faster this time," Kai muttered as the sound got louder.
We bolted. Sprinting down the hall, dodging spilled food, stray textbooks, and yes—still the cow.
We made it to the back gate and scaled the fence like we were in a prison escape movie.
Crimson turned around, posed on the fence like a hero, and looked directly at the fourth wall.
"To the people reading this... do not try this at home. Actually, do. It's hilarious."
We all screamed at him to MOVE.
He jumped down and we disappeared into the city like a bunch of cracked-out cartoon characters on the run.
That night, we sat on the rooftop of Kai's place, tired, bruised, slightly arrested but then un-arrested thanks to Kai's smooth talking.
"We've done some dumb things," MJ said, munching on leftover pizza.
"We've done a lot of dumb things," Kazuki corrected.
"But would we do it all again?" Crimson asked, holding up a soda.
Everyone stared.
And then, with absolutely zero hesitation, we all said, "Absolutely."
We clinked our sodas together under the stars.
And then we heard sirens again.
"You guys wanna run or nah?" Leon asked.
"Let's give 'em a head start," Kai said, smirking.
We all stood up.
Crimson turned to the sky, arms wide. "We'll be back. Maybe in another city, maybe in another country... maybe in SPACE."
And with that... we bolted.
