- Chapter 2 - The Extra Encounters -
...
Right after Lance's random encounter in Tagaytay, we cut to Lance's original home in the lowlands, Cavite City. We would see a school named "St. Joseph College of Cavite". This is where Lance's friend from kindergarten-elementary was studying at. His name would be Jerald Jerico De Castro, but he prefers to be called Uno Winter, or simply Uno.
Uno: "Jesus Hitler Christ, Why ain't it fuckin' 4 already."
Uno turns to his infatuation and close friend Denise C. Isabelle Star. {She usually prefers to be called Isabelle}
Isabelle: "I know right", looking annoyed at the time, "Ughhhhh, Why must we learn calculus, I mean we don't even need it."
Uno: "Tell me about it. Albeit, I do like learning mathematics my dear."
Isabelle: "Yeah, right Mr. Winter." "So... After class, wanna go on a date?"
Uno: "Sure, I mean I've got nothing else to do since most of my Boys are just busy playing their gameboys, And I don't consider being much of a 'Gamer'."
Flashforward to dismissal of the boring class
Uno and Isabelle are currently walking. Isabelle has an idea to hold Uno's hand while walking to the restaurant where they are going to eat with some of their close high-school friends. Around this time, Lance returns back home and shuts the door behind his bedroom and sits on the floor.
Lance: "Phew, what a day that was... What's with that I'm gonna be sent to another country for intelligence... And why do I need to bring 2 friends?"
As Lance wonders everything that had happened, we cut back to Uno and Isabelle.
Isabelle: "So.... Uno what are we, a couple? I mean we do like each other romantically so I think we should try that."
Uno: "So, let me get the gist of it. You are asking me, Uno Winter to be your beau?"
Isabelle: "Well yeah, We've known each other since we were little children. It won't be weird and all considering it's just us being best friends still, but with cuddling, holding hands, and kissing..."
Uno: "Damn, but sure, we can go out. I mean, I've been in love with you since we first met back then."
But right before they could have their date, a tall man approached Uno.
Uno: "Excuse me, but why'd ya approach me."
Man 1: "We need to talk, Mr. De Castro."
Uno: "It's Sir. Winter"
Before Uno could realize it, he gets picked up by the mysterious man and onto a more private area. Somehow, Isabelle didn't notice Uno simply gone.
Isabelle: "Bruh, What the hell is wrong with you, kidnapping my BOYFRIEND!?"
Man 1: "He's going to Japan with friends, we'll book your trip with them if you agree."
Isabelle: "Fine. Only if I sit with him."
Man 1: "Understood."
...
Now we cut to another place, this time, in Rizal. We see another one of Lance and Uno's friends. His name, unironically enough, is Sherwin Ilin. Although how he became friends with Lance and Uno is unknown, they became friends around when they were 10-11 years old. And the three of them made the legendary Unknown Fleet when they were a bit younger. It was dismissal in Sherwin's school, with his friends going home via Tricycles or Bikes. But as Sherwin was exiting his bike, another tall man approached him.
Sherwin: "Yeah? What do you want?"
Man 2: "You might wanna come with me, we need to talk to you."
Sherwin: "Why though, I don't want"
Man 2: "Just come with us!"
Right before that, Sherwin's mu would stop the tall man from taking him somewhere.
His mu: "Not so fast, you're not taking him!"
Man 2: "I've been sent by Sherwin's friend from Tagaytay to tell you that he wants you to come with him to Japan goddamnit!"
Sherwin: "Oh wait, Japan? Hehehe, now we're talking!"
His mu: "Can I go with him?"
Man 2: "If you respect our decisions, we'll include you."
His mu: "Well, I'll decide on that."
Sherwin: "Huh?"
His mu: "Nothing."
And there it was, all the 3 dudes have been awakened and are back together for, apparently, being transferred to Japan for a test on their IQ's, but what would happen next was completely out of the plan. But after the sun sets, Lance looks out of his bedroom window to see the star he's been looking at ever since he was 12 years old.
Lance: "You know... I might have a feeling this might change the way I live."
Lance's Mother: "Lance! Go to sleep, I can hear you in there!"
Lance: "Yeah, yeah, alright, alright."
While Lance looks out the window. Uno is just looking in the sack over his head and just singing Rule the world by tears for fears on his head. And this, this is just the beginning of the journey of the 3 men.
