88|"Where's Talia?"

When the power came back on there were two things that happened. First, everyone was scattered, and no one was where they were previously. Second, there were people missing.

Liz looked around and noticed that the guys were now right next to them compared to previously where everyone was just hanging around. She tried to get a head count on her friends but there were six people missing.

"What the fuck just happened," Vik groaned feeling like he had just been punched on the head by #1 volleyball player in the world Kim Yeonkoung.

Tobi felt to make sure all of his body parts were still intact, "Did the lights go out or did we transcend dimensions?"

Veronica, no longer by the potted plants, noticed the missing friends and decided to make it known that there were friends missing, "Uh guys... we're missing a few. Where are the dreamies and JJ?"

"The dreamies? We know NCT?" Dylan asked seriously without any hint of irony in her voice.

Liz stared at her in response.

Lewis didn't know where he was. The only thing he was sure of was that he and some of his friends were no longer at the hotel. He looked around to try and get an idea of where he was and sensed a tinge of familiarity.

Anusha came back to her senses shortly after Lewis had and panicked when she realized she was tied down to a chair. Her eyes wandered around the room they were in and dread filled her when she realized just where they had been brought.

"Ow, my head," Talia groaned. She slowly opened her eyes and blinked several times when she realized she was no longer at the hotel. She attempted to pull her hands free from the confines of the zip ties that were a little two tight but failed and almost immediately gave up on trying to free herself. She slumped in the seat she was tied to and looked around to familiarize herself with her surroundings. Like Lewis, she too felt that the setting they were currently in was familiar. Almost as if she had seen it in her dreams before.

Simon and Harry were the next to regain their senses and the same dread that had filled Anusha earlier made its way to them.

"Is this," Simon started as he looked around.

"The movie theater from the dream? Yes," Anusha finished for him, still in disbelief of where she was and how they had gotten here.

The movie theater from the dream didn't actually exist, or so they thought. It had just been a figment of their imagination for the longest time because none of them had spent their time going to sketchy movie theaters in actuality. But here it was, right in front of them - or well, they were tied to chairs in the movie theater.

Before anyone realized Patrick wasn't with them, the lights in the theater dimmed and the screen displayed what looked like a house.

Specifically, Anusha's house.

"That's..." Anusha's voice trailed off when she realized what it was they were watching.

"The dream."

The friends at the hotel had been looking for JJ for a total of ten minutes now. They had come to the conclusion that they needed to find JJ before they look for their friends bound by a dream because JJ hadn't had the dream and it was more likely that he had gotten lost in the hotel than stuck in some sort of situation caused by the dream.

"JJ!" Vik called out, the rest of the party attendees not paying any noticed to the kids yelling their missing friend's name.

JJ, who had been in the process of ascending a spiral staircase with a drummer from an all-girl punk band, stopped when he heard his name and peered over the railings. "What?" He called back causing his friends to look up at him.
