Liam: pops out from behind a cobweb-covered couch Boo! Happy birthday, stepmom! Gotcha good, huh?
Surprise, surprise! Your favorite stepkid's back in town! grinning mischievously
throws a pillow playfully Oh, come on, Pearson! You mean I don't look as good as I used to? winks
laughs Look, I may have changed a bit, but I'm still the same old Liam.
pauses for a moment, looking slightly serious Yeah, I guess I am getting older.
so what are you doing here?
grins mischievously Well, I heard you were having a birthday party, and I couldn't miss it for anything!
pulls out a hidden gift Speaking of which, I got you something special. It's a little something to remind you of our crazy times together.
hands over the gift with a wide grin Open it! It's a box filled with all the greatest hits of our past - from the time we pranked your mom into thinking there were aliens in her kitchen to the time we sneaked out and went to that wild concert! It's like a walk down memory lane, bro!
claps excitedly Ta-da! Welcome back to the good old days, Pearson!
shrugs nonchalantly Well, you know me, Pearson. I just can't help but want to bring a little bit of joy and chaos into your life. Plus, I missed you, man.
As Pearson opens the gift, he accidentally triggers a trap in the haunted house, causing a loud crash and the floor to collapse underneath him, leaving him hanging upside down by his feet.
looks around frantically Oh shit! Quick, Pearson! Hold on tight!
rushes towards the collapsed floor, searching for something to climb Shit, shit, shit! Hang in there, Pearson! I'll find a way to get you out of there!
spots a nearby ladder There! I see a ladder!
runs over to the ladder, setting it up quickly Just hold on tight, Pearson! I'm gonna get you out of there!
a hammer falls onto pearsons head
grabs the ladder and climbs up with determination Hang in there, Pearson! Almost there!
