When The Past Comes Back

3 Years after PCA Graduation: Year 2012

It was 5 in the afternoon and Zoey Brooks was watching America Sings With Lola Martinez, while Michael went for some groceries. The three of them decided to rent an apartment since they were enrolled at Howard University in Washington DC.

"Wow. Who do you think is going to win Zo? Martha or Laura?". Lola asked as she grabbed some popcorn.

"I don't know. Martha has an Opera kind of voice, but still sounds great and Laura is more of a country singer. She has the voice of Taylor Swift, so it's very hard to chose one". Zoey replied looking at her friend. Just then Zoey's phone started ringing.

"Who's calling?". Lola asked.

"It's an unknown number". She replied and answered the phone.

"Hello?".

"Hey Zo! It's me Dustin!". Dustin said.

"Dustin how are you? It's been so long since I had a call from you?". Zoey excitedly asked.

"I know right, anyways Zoey I need you to come to California".

"Why?".

"Because I need to talk to you, it's a matter of life or death! I already arranged your plane tickets, along with Michael's and Lola's. The only thing you need to do is, go to the airport and tell them that you all have some plane reservations, but you need to leave now! I'll see you when you get here, bye". The line went dead and Lola turned to see Zoey.

"What happened with Dustin?". She asked.

"I don't know, but he wants us to fly to California, right now". Zoey replied.

"Is he okay?".

"Well he said it's a matter of life or death, so I'm guessing he's in a bad situation".

"But we don't have enough money to buy plane tickets to California".

"He told me that he already reserved some plane tickets for me, you and Michael. We have to go". Zoey said standing up.

Michael then entered the apartment with 2 bags of groceries.

"I'm back girls!". He yelled in excitement. He went to the table and place the bags on it.

"So what's new?". He asked

"We're flying to California". Lola said turning to see him.

"Really?". He smiled as he approached the girls.

"Yeah, apparently Dustin is in deep trouble, so he made plane reservations for us to fly right now". Zoey explained.

"He paid for our plane tickets?". Michael raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know but we have to pack. Dustin might be in real danger, come on!". Zoey said as she and Lola rushed to their room's. Michael nodded and approached to the TV.

"And our winner is... Martha Schneider!". The announcer said.

"What!? The opera chick! What's wrong with Laura! She's could be the new Taylor Swift!". Michael yelled at the TV.

"Michael! Hurry!". The girls yelled.

"I'm coming!". Michael turned to TV off and ran to his room.

They all got ready and Michael called a cab for them to get to the airport. The drive didn't take that long, so when they arrived at the airport, they got their tickets and boarded the airplane. They fortunately had been assigned to sit on the same aisle. It was a 3 hour flight and during that time Zoey was reading a book, Lola was looking at her phone, and Michael has sleeping like a baby. When they landed, they looked for Dustin everywhere, but there was no sign of him.
