Iโm a fool to think my life could be traded for a hot dog.โ He grabs my hand and gets down on one knee, pressing his forehead to the back of my hand. โMy savior, what can I ever do to repay you?

Pittacus LoreCheck this out,โ Nine says. He holds up a small purple stone and then places it on the back of his hand. The stone slides into his handโthrough it.

Impress girls?โ Nine looks over at me. โDid it work?โ โUm . . .โ I hesitate, trying not to roll my eyes too hard. โNot really. But, Iโve seen guys teleport so Iโm kind of hard to impress.โ โTough crowd.
