Take The Leap

Chapter 8: Glad To Be Back

Scene 1:

Kaz and Lynn haven't brought up the kiss again, since conversion day. Meanwhile, the stress of the Ultimate Final Tests has passed. Right now, it's prom season, as the school year is coming to its inevitable end. It's Thursday, May 11, and Kaz, Lynn and Martin are at the Firework Bay beach, at sunset, sitting in the sand, while a street musician plays relaxing guitar riffs, on an electric guitar.

Lynn: This place is basically paradise.

Martin: I know, right? Couldn't think of a better universe to be stuck in. It's heaven, and we didn't even have to die.

Kaz: ... Hey Martin, speaking of dying.

Lynn: You know every good question starts with 'speaking of dying'.

Kaz: What the fuck happens, if you die in another universe?

Martin: I don't know. How would I know that?

Kaz: I was wondering, if you die in this universe, does that mean you to go this universe's heaven, or do you go to your own universe's heaven?

Martin: What the fuck kind of question is that? How do you know there are parallel universes in heaven?

Kaz: I don't know. That's why I'm asking.

Martin: At this point, you guys know as much as I do.

Lynn: Not really. We've only been to two universes, and used two kinds of portals. You're kind of our dimensional travel master.

Martin: Yeah, a master who is dumb enough to get stuck in this place... I think I've had enough of travelling to different universes. I lost home, don't wanna lose this place too.

Lynn: So you're not gonna do it again?

Martin: No. All it takes is one mistake, and your life will never be the same.

Kaz: Wowowow, enough of depressing shit.

Lynn: Didn't you bring up dying?

Kaz: Yeah. To ask a question.

Martin: Kaz is right. No point wasting my time and energy, bitching and whining about not going home. Let's focus on the positives... I might ask Loren to go to prom with me, soon.

Kaz: That's my boy!

[All of a sudden, Lynn gets hit in the head with a golf ball, out of nowhere]

Lynn: Ouch! What the fuck?

Martin: Yo. Where did that come from?

[They look to the side, and see a familiar group of golfers]

Kaz: Joel? Vic? Craig? The fuck are those guys doing here?

Lynn: I don't know, but they better apologize for this shit!

[Lynn angrily gets up with the ball, and walks up to them]

Lynn: Hey. Which one of you did this?

Joel: Chill out, alright? I did it. It was an accident. I didn't even notice you guys were there.

Vic: Did it hurt?

Craig: No, Vic. Of course it didn't. She's all angry just because.

Vic: Bruh, shut up!

Joel: I'm sorry, Lynn. Won't happen again.

Lynn: It better not happen again. You could have messed up my face.

Joel: But I didn't. You're still beautiful.

Lynn: ... Thanks, I guess.

Vic: Dude, not cool.
