    The phrasal verb ‘make up’ means ‘to invent an excuse, a story, etc., often in order to deceive’. This is correct here. Give up- to stop trying to guess. Show up- to arrive somewhere. End up- eventually do/decide. Its no use asking them what happened because they will make up a story, which will be believed by everyone.
