29 April 2021

Pamela was panicking over her past trauma, knowing that it could happen again. She knew that what Becky and Vanessa saw may come true.
"What if I don't get lucky this time?! What if I get transformed?!" Pamela asked, "It is terrifying to even think about! I don't want to transform... I don't want to transform!" She whimpered.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps, and a familiar voice... Goldiva.

"Pamela, are you okay?! I have come as soon as I can!" Goldiva asked.
"No, I am not okay, I can't believe that I am having those visions again, visions of my past trauma coming back to haunt me!" Pamela replied, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"It's okay, it's okay, we'll always figure out a solution for this problem... after all, every problem has a solution." Goldiva reassured Pamela, "And we can discuss what we can do on the date tonight." Goldiva then wiped the tears from Pamela's cheeks and kissed her on the cheek. "There's nothing to be afraid of, Pamela."
"I hate to interrupt you, but we have a show to run!" Roland scoffed.
"Roland!" Irene shouted, "She is a mess from all the crying, she has to fix her makeup and hair!" she sighed, "Pamela, let's go fix you up."
"Okay." Pamela nodded in agreement.

Then both Pamela and Irene headed off to the dressing and makeup room to get ready for the show.

Meanwhile with Preston...

Preston was sitting down at Damien's Bar and Grill, hanging out with his three friends - Tulia, Wanda and Levi.
"Preston, I am not sure what to eat in this damn place." Levi scoffed.
"Don't worry, Anna has just introduced me to this place, and I wanted to show you all this place. Of course, mom told me that I cannot drink too much, or she'd throw a bitch fit." Preston replied.
"I try to stay away from alcohol as much as possible, I'm trying to develop healthier habits because poor physical health can lead to poor mental health-" Wanda began but got interrupted.
Tulia pulled down her headphones as she interjected, "And vice versa, I heard online that mental illnesses can negatively affect your body in different ways."
"Yikes!" Wanda shouted, in pure disbelief.
"Don't worry, keep on doing what you love, and everything'll be fine." Preston added.
"Thank you." Wanda sighed.
Preston then solemnly asked, "Have any of you guys heard of this website that has been recently on the internet advertisements lately? Not the ones with Yellow Face... the ones about how there is this relaxation vacation that is supposed to relieve you of all life's stress?"
"What do you mean? And what is the website called? The URL?!" Levi asked.
"Well, the only other thing that I remembered from that ad was that there was a link called An Object's Life is a Stress-Free Life. It seems that someone is trying to trick us into going to a website and get us to sign up for a website." Preston sighed.
"What the hell?! I don't want to be an object, not now, not ever!" Levi shouted.
"Calm down, bro. This link might lead us into a trap where we might end up being turned into objects, but if we don't infiltrate whatever they're planning, the whole New Skin, Second Chance program, they're going to keep doing horrible things to innocent and not innocent people alike, transformation included. We have to do something, perhaps we can ask Connie if we can reinitiate Mission: Neo-Justine, it might work out better than last time, perhaps save an entire city, if not the world as we know it!" Preston reassured his friends.
"But how are we sure that we'd be able to stop them? What if whoever is behind New Skin, Second Chance gets to us first?!" Levi asked, anger hinted in his voice.
"Don't worry, we have a plan just in case they ever plan to target us..." Preston replied.
"Good, I am worried on what would become of me." Wanda whimpered.
"Relax, Wanda, Preston has us covered and he'll protect us from those dreaded transformations." Tulia scoffed.
