Prompt given;
⇽“I know I signed up for this and all, but… if I die, it’s still your fault and I will not hold back on blaming you.”⇾
Neil had been working on a new project for some time now and had asked both of his friends; Nikki and Max, to help him with his experiment that totally won't go to absolute shit if Neil isn't careful with it. The young boy had told his friends to meet him in his Science Booth so he can explain his plan further as well as some safety tips before actually testing his new stimulate on Nikki and Max. When he first asked his friends, Nikki wasn't at all reluctant, he was excited to be used as a 'guinea pig' for Neils' new stimulate which somewhat surprised Neil. Nikki would sometimes jokingly poke fun at the brunet for doing such 'nerdy' activities so when the mint-haired boy agreed to do test out his somewhat dangerous stimulate it shocked Neil!
"I don't mind drinking whatever you make! If it'll make me stronger then hell yeah Neil! I gotta defeat that pesky grey squirrel for taking my food.."
That is what, Nikki said as he gave Neil a toothy grin but Max, on the other hand, was slightly more reluctant which was understandable. Neil has some pretty sketchy shit going on in his booth. Max really didn't like getting involved in Neils' stupidity but he couldn't just let his friends have all the fun while he stays behind and gets scolded by David so, in the end, the Indian boy agreed to follow Neils' stupid plan. The three boys all walked to Neils' booth, his booth had been covered up by a tent as the brunet pushed the curtains open so Max and Nikki could get inside and take a seat so the young boy could take notes while spectating on them to make sure nothing bad will happen.
"Neil, I swear to G-O-D if something bad happens to us, I'm going to sue your dumbass."
Max grumbled as Neil waved off his threat but Nikki spoke up lightly punching Max on the back;
"We'll be fine Max! It always turns out okay."
The young boy chirped sitting down on a chair as pulled another chair close to his so Max can sit down, the boy gave Neil an icy glare but sat down as Neil handed both boys a clear cylinder tube with the liquid stimulate inside as it swirled inside of its capsule. The stimulate was a green-yellow color and it did smell a bit funky almost sour as Max gave Neil a 'I-will-murder-your-fucking-family-if-I-die-or-some-shit' look. Nikki did admit it did smell weird but aside from that the mint-haired boy took the cylinder tube in his hand and clinked his capsule to Maxs'.
"Cheers! Well then, bottoms up. See you in hell Max!"
Nikki joked as he chugged down the green liquid and set the tube aside and gave Max a closed-eye smile, 'It seems like Nikki is alright..but this kid eats carcasses from the fucking ground and most likely has rabies.' Max thought to himself but if he thought about it death was the worse outcome of this and it didn't really sound so bad.
"Alright then. . . Neil, if I die. . . I will fucking haunt you, you piece of shit."
Max hissed placing a free hand on Neils' shoulder and giving it a very tight squeeze while Neil awkwardly laughed;
"Ahaha. . . R-Right."
Neil prayed Maxs' hand away from his shoulder and stood awkwardly as Max quickly drank the liquid, the boy practically had to force himself to swallow as the stimulate felt weird on his throat. Max coughed a few times and looked over at Nikki who was kicking his legs back and forth. Neil wrote down everything he saw in his book and did check on his friends by asking them simple questions, after some time both Max and Nikki seemed fine. They weren't complaining about pain or anything, the Jewish boy smiled proudly at his successful tonic.
"Alright, you all seem okay, if anything happens within these 24 hours don't tell David or Gwen. Come to me immediately."
He warned his friends, Nikki looked at Max but nodded at what Neil said as he jumped off of the chair and went to drag Max away.
"K! Let's go, Max!"
"Ugh. . .Don't drag me, Nikki."
Neil saw his friends leave he was going to follow but after he checks off everything and makes sure none of the tonic is left behind. He passed some cylinder tubes that had 'The actual good recipe of the tonic' as its label, he panicked and quickly checked the label for the tonics he gave Max and Nikki. He saw 'The bad recipe that could possibly kill someone' as its label. Neil went pale as he quickly ran after his friends 'Oh god, please let this be a cruel joke!' he begged himself as he found Max and Nikki.
"G-Guys!"
He called after them as he panted a bit but regained his posture and started to talk rather quickly;
"Okay, so the tonic I gave you guys was the prototype that could maybe possibly kill you. . ."
There was silence as Neil glanced over at his friends;
"G-Guys. .?"
"YOU W-H-A-T?!"
Max shouted as he wanted to pull all of his hair out but Nikki shrugged and said he didn't really feel a thing, the boy had already experienced deathly pain from his period a couple of months ago so whatever he was feeling was nothing compared to that.
"Are you sure? I feel great! Maybe it was just your mind playing tricks on you Neilly."
Nikki said giving Neil a reassuring pat on the back, Max did notice how Neil has stumbled over his writing so maybe it was just a misunderstanding.
"God, I hate you so much right now but maybe Nikki is right. You probably did read it wrong."
"Maybe. . . can I still watch over you two though?"
"Sure, do what you want."
Max didn't really care at this point, he was too tired to deal with this shit right now. Neil followed his friends quietly and turns out the labels were actually just some prank created by Nurf.
