PANEL ONE: Next Day. MIKE and LUCAS are playing video games again, laughing.

NARR:
But Lucas gave me another opportunity the next day after school.

NARR2:
I was laughing so hard during our game, that something occurred to me…

PANEL TWO: MIKE clutching his belly and laughing, his face flushed red. LUCAS is still concentrating on the game.

MIKE:
Oh man– stop! Stop! I’m gonna mess my pants!

LUCAS:
Good. DO it!

PANEL THREE: MIKE looks over to LUCAS with a panicked look on his face. LUCAS is still looking at the video game, but he looks serious now.

NARR:
I had to make him understand that I was serious. I said:

MIKE:
No, I mean I’m seriously gonna poop my pants!

NARR:
And I seriously mean DO IT.

PANEL FOUR: LUCAS looks right at MIKE, and he is not joking, he’s totally serious.

LUCAS:
Right NOW.

PANEL FIVE: The two brothers are staring at each other. LUCAS looks intense, challenging; MIKE looks unsure of himself, maybe a little scared.

NARR:
We were staring at each other, the game forgotten. He looked so serious, and I suddenly felt small, like a total wimp.
