Next day, at Sam's

As his Mum had been so rattled by what he'd done to her last night, Josh never got his "little talk" with her; in fact, she'd seemingly dropped the whole thing altogether. Pleased he was ungrounded, Josh decided to go and hang at Sam's house for the day.

It was as he approached Sam's drive that he decided to have a little fun with the MPC, so he brought it out of his pocket, hit the button and smiled as he watched the whole street freeze in place; a couple of women across the street suddenly froze in the middle of their conversation, a man washing his car froze as he chucked a bucket of water over his car and a paper delivery boy froze as he mounted his bike.

"Nothing beats a nice quiet neighbourhood.." he chuckled as he walked up the drive and into Sam's house; upon entering, the first member of Sam's household he saw was Sam's Dad, Mike, frozen halfway down the stairs "Hey, Mike" Josh chuckled as the frozen Patriarch continued to stare ahead, unblinking. Entering the Lounge, he found Florence and Katie, Sam's Mum and Sister; Florence was frozen as she checked her watch and Katie was staring up at a peanut hovering over her mouth.

He headed back out into the Hall and headed up the stairs, stopping next to Mark on the way; despite having frozen time multiple times now, it still amazed him that what looked like an uber realistic Waxwork Model of his Best Friend's Dad was, in fact, the very man himself, rendered motionless by his Son's Best Friend with the assistance of a mobile phone capable of freezing the very fabric of time.

He carried on upstairs and found Sam, frozen mid step, a basket of laundry clutched in his hands; Josh chuckled as he waved a hand in Sam's face and got only a blank stare in response.

"Ok, now I've found you all, let's get started..."
