Second Chances

Record Shop of Nightmares

"What the?!" Robert opened his eyes; Tina was still in his arms.

"Nico?!" A blonde girl ran down the street with a boy in a dark hoodie.

"Tandy?" Nico turns, "Ty? Where are we?"

Ty looks at Nico, "Our version of the dark dimension..."

Nico walks towards the light, "Is that..."

"Uhuh..." Tandy nodded, "the Record Shop of Nightmares."

"This is my sister, Amy, my dad, and Guita..." Nico introduced, "These two are Tandy and Ty."

"Nice to meet you, both." Robert nods.

Tandy looked at Robert, "I know its none of my business, but why are you carrying her?"

Robert smiles, "She can't walk."

Tina sighs, "And he's my husband..."

Hana looks at the store, "So, every one of those records are people's nightmares?"

"Yes..." Ty replies.

The sounds of footsteps echoed the streets and Hana instructed for everyone to get inside. "Beats the creepy racist magician." Hana sighs, "But not by much..." Hana swept her fingers over the case, "very dusty and freaky."

"Depends on your definition of freaky…" Guita smirked.

"Ack!"  Hana screeched.

Nico picks up a box of records and places it on the counter, "Okay?" Nico pulled out the first record and gasped, "Minoli, S!"

Guita snatches it, "What the hell?!" Guita put it in the player. As it played Guita was transported to the car crash that allegedly killed her mother and killed her father.

Guita stood as the car collided with another car, Guita wanted to scream as it happened but no sound came out. Tears streaming down her face, as her mother got out of the car and run off not before setting the car to flames.

As the image faded Hana took off the needle and the record came to a halt. "I'd ask if you were okay but by the looks of it," Hana sighs, "that must have been one hell of a song..."

"It wasn't a song," Guita sniffled, "it was so real the pain, the hurt... everything came rushing back."

"It's a record of her darkest memory..." Ty explained.

Hana looks at the record with her name on it, "How do we get out?"

Tina sighs, "We have to relive our worst memories..."

Robert puts Tina down on the counter as he and Tina started sorting out the records to find their names.

Hana sighs and puts her record on the player.

"No more!" Guita took the needle off. "You okay?"

Hana wiped off the tear that escaped her eyes, "Yeah," forcing a small smile, "I'm over it."

After the door burst open and Ty transported them to the top of the "H" of the Hollywood sign, Guita looked at her friend worriedly, "Wanna talk about it?"

"No." Hana shook her head.

"Okay." Guita sighs. She knew Hana well enough to know, if Hana doesn't want to talk about it with you, it's for your safety not to ask.
