Scene 1:

The day has come. It's November 2nd, 2023, a Thursday morning. Zoey is having yet another nightmare. She's back in the volcano, and this time, all by herself.

Zoey: ... Sabrina? You again, huh? Come on, show up. And this time, fight with your fists, instead of a chainsaw!

[Sabrina is seemingly not there. But Zoey's old self shows up]

Old Zoey: She's not here right now.

Zoey: (turns around) You?

Old Zoey: Me.

Zoey: What are you doing here? You're long gone.

Old Zoey: (evil grin) I really don't think so.

Zoey: I saw you going into the white light, sent by the reptilians. And then I saw you burning in hell. What the fuck do you want now?

Old Zoey: You know what I want. I can never be truly gone. I'm a part of you.

Zoey: You were a part of me, that I lost a long time ago. I don't need you anymore. I'm done playing evil goddess. I'm fine just being a normie, doing my own thing, and not causing any harm. You don't represent me anymore.

Old Zoey: (evil laugh) You don't get it, do you? She's coming for you. And you need me, so you can actually fight back.

Zoey: I don't need you. I can stand up for myself.

Old Zoey: Pfft, yeah right. 

Zoey: I'm in control now. You don't exist anymore. I am not you!

Old Zoey: You may think I'm gone for good. You may think I'm far away. But mark my words: You're gonna have to go back to your old ways. And it's gonna happen a lot sooner than you think.

Zoey: You're delusional.

Old Zoey: We'll see.

[Zoey wakes up, and so does JJ]

JJ: What? Another nightmare with Sabrina?

Zoey: ... No. It was different this time.

JJ: Well, whenever you wake up all of a sudden like that, I always think it's Sabrina haunting you in your dreams again.

Zoey: Not this time. I just had a chat, with someone I know won't ever come back, that's all.

JJ: I see. (checks watch) We still have a few hours until the talent show. I can think of something we can do in that time... 4 times, at least.

Zoey: Someone's becoming ambitious.



Scene 2:

A few hours have passed. It's now afternoon. There are no classes today, but all the students are at Red Hills, to see the anual talent show. The stage and the auditorium were decorated by Leslie, who took a quite literal approach for the theme, and decorated it all with actual red hills, like the ones in the logo. But somehow, she made it look amazing. Right now, the seats are starting to fill. Zoey is in the auditorium, with Mia, Lagi and Perri.

Zoey: Damn, Leslie. She did a great job.

Mia: Pfft, it's really nothing special. She just spammed the red hills, from our school's logo all over the place.

Lagi: She made them look so much cooler, though. I have to admit, she did a great job.

Mia: No, she didn't.

Perri: Ooh, someone's mad for no longer being the decorator.

Mia: No, I'm not!

Perri: Then admit it: Leslie did a good job.
