Take The Leap

Chapter 4: Meet The Master

Scene 1:

It's the next morning, in the other universe. Lynn and Kaz woke up for their first day of school, got ready, and are now having breakfast.

Lynn: We need to buy new clothes. These are the same ones we wore, while running away from the flamethrower psycho. I had to use all of the deodorant in my purse to stop smelling like a monkey.

Kaz: So? I used all of the one Noah left in the bathroom. And we'll buy new clothes after school. I know how to get gold bars.

Lynn: Good... So, when they ask us where we come from, do we tell them we're from Gooseland?

Kaz: Maybe. It's certainly better than telling them we're exchange students from another universe.

Lynn: Yeah. But we'll run the risk of people asking us questions about Gooseland, and how it compares to other countries.

Kaz: Gooseland is a dictatorship. I'm sure we can get away with the 'life was terrible and we don't know anything about the free world' thing.

Lynn: Yeah, but what if there are other Gooselandians there? The way Noah spoke, kinda hints that there are a lot of Gooselandian immigrants here.

Kaz: In that case, when they ask us where we're from, we'll say something vague, like north or south. Gooseland is apparently where Canada used to be, so I'm sure it's a large country.

Lynn: ... Yeah. And we're just gonna have to make it work. Hopefully they buy it. (checks watch) Shouldn't we be going?

Kaz: Alright.

[They put the dishes in the sink, and leave. On their way, they walk by Noah]

Noah: And look who's up. I bet you're a little nervous about your first day.

Lynn: We are, Noah.

Noah: Well, don't be. Blue Ocean is a great place. I've worked there myself a few decades ago. And I know a lot of the kids who come to my restaurant... By the way, this came in the mail for you (hands them an envelope each). It's your school schedule.

Kaz: Thanks, Noah. So, we'll be going now.

Noah: Go for it. Good luck, kids.

[The two of them wave goodbye to Noah, and then start walking towards the school]

Kaz: I don't quite remember where it was.

Lynn: It's alright, I do. We're not that far away.

Kaz: You sure you don't wanna take the bus?

Lynn: Come on, Kaz. It's only a few blocks away.

Kaz: Alright... So, how long exactly are we staying here?

Lynn: Until we get tired, or something. We'll see where this goes.

Kaz: Yeah, makes sense... Hold on, we forgot our school uniforms!

Lynn: We forgot what?!

Kaz: Hahahaha just kidding. They don't wear school uniforms here.

Lynn: (sigh of relief) Don't do that, Kaz. You got me scared for a second.

Scene 2:

They finally get to Blue Ocean High, and this time, it is crowded with fellow teenagers.

Lynn: Wow. That's a lot of people.

Kaz: (looking around) No one fighting. No one bullying people. No one doing drugs... I think I might like this school.

Lynn: Yeah. And they all look calmer... Anyways, let's look at the schedules.
