Scene 1:

Two more weeks have passed. Zoey has been making money, working on the wooden toys with Leslie. The business has taken off, even better than expected. Meanwhile, JJ's popularity has been skyrocketing, ever since the match. It's gotten to the point where everyone in school knows him, and with Lance sometimes absent due to his injury, JJ might be on track to become the most popular kid in school. But right now, it's an October morning, and Zoey is having yet another nightmare. She's in a volcano, surrounded by lava, with none other than Sabrina.

Zoey: ... What is this? Where am I?

Sabrina: (evil grin) Welcome to hell, Zoey Stonem.

Zoey: ... No. Not this time. I'm not gonna let you jump me again. It's a fair fight, and you stand no chance.

Sabrina: Hahaha, fair fight. That's funny. (pulls out a blue chainsaw) My big friend here disagrees.

Zoey: What the hell is that?

Sabrina: Oh, what are you, uncultured? It's a chainsaw. And you're about to find out what can be done with these things.

Zoey: No. No, you can't do that.

[Sabrina runs towards her. Zoey is surrounded by lava, and has no escape possible. She tries to fight, but Sabrina starts slicing her with the chainsaw]

Zoey: (screaming in pain) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Stop iiiiiit!

Sabrina: (evil laugh) Never.

[Zoey wakes up, once again in panic. JJ also wakes up]

JJ: What's wrong?

Zoey: (crying) It's Sabrina again.

JJ: Oh, that.

[JJ holds her]

Zoey: She had a chainsaw. A big, blue chainsaw. She started cutting me.

JJ: It's just a nightmare. Sabrina is dead. She's nothing but worm food, by now.

Zoey: You don't understand, JJ. It looked so real. It felt so real. It hurt.

JJ: That's normal, I guess. Your brain has the ability to simul-

Zoey: I don't care. I just want these nightmares to be over.

JJ: ... Sweetheart, maybe it's time we take you to a therapist.

Zoey: (wipes tears) I'm not going to a therapist.

JJ: You should. This is the second time you have a nightmare like that, in two weeks. This could become more frequent, and even worse, it could lead to... Well, bed wetting. And that would be really unpleasant. Especially for me.

Zoey: I'm not going to a therapist. Therapy is a scam.

JJ: Zoey, you clea-

Zoey: I'm not going to a therapist, JJ. Period!

JJ: (sigh) Fine. But you start wetting the bed, I'm movin' out.



Scene 2:

The two got up, and went to school. Right now, they're in the middle of their first class in the morning. Leslie, Mia, Lagi, Perri, Karl, Aron, Jason are there, and so is Lance, who managed to came to school in crutches. They've just found out their latest test results, and the entire class had good results.

Teacher: Well, I'm very glad that you all passed, and-

[The class claps]

Teacher: Okay, okay, we get it, you're happy. I'm happy for you too. And this was the highest result on average I've ever seen, so-
