~(Jeremy's bedroom, the same time Rich passed out)~

Jeremy woke up, his head throbbing with pain. He looked around and saw Michael and Jake sitting in front of him, holding a half empty bottle of Mountain Dew Red. "I'm so glad you're ok! You passed out and started having a seizure or something." Michael said once it was clear Jeremy was fully awake.

"Oh, Jake, how's Rich? He seemed upset before, probably because of it." Michael asked Jake. All of a sudden Jake got his phone out and began rapidly texting someone, Michael wanted to know who it was but didn't want to make himself look nosy. After a few minutes of quick typing Jake informed the boys that Rich didn't tell her to get any Mountain Dew for him... "We should go check on him..." Jeremy whispered, still holding his head, "yeah, we should." Michael replied.

The boys jumped in Michael's car (with the Mountain Dew) and rushed over to Rich's house only to find the door was wide open. They went upstairs to see Rich, laying unconscious on the floor. Jake pulled him onto the bed and squirting a bunch of red soda into Rich's mouth.

Rich suddenly bolted upright and .just sat, staring into Jake's soul. "Uh... that's creepy...." Jake murmured. Rich then began also having a seizure, just like Jeremy had done earlier. He jolted awake as if he was having a dream about falling off of a cloth or something. The boys informed him on what had happened. Rich could still hear the voice in his head so he drank more Mountain Dew Red, the voice still there.

"I did actually text Brooke, the 'you know what' must have stopped it from reaching her phone." Rich said after finally catching his breath from drinking so much soda. Jeremy suddenly began speaking, no one knew who to but he was definitely speaking. "I sort of lied..about being asleep" he looked down at his feet. "What do you mean?" Jake replied.

"When I came into Michael's room to tell him about the SQUIP, I sorta told him I had been asleep.. I wasn't.. I was thinking, about the SQUIP and what would happen if it came back. I was also texting Rich.." he explained. "Dude, thats nothing to get mad about, I hardly ever sleep! At night anyway" Michael said while laughing.

The voice was now gone from Rich's head and was back to normal, until Jake saw Jeremy looking at something in the room. "What ya looking at?" He asked. To his surprise Jere,y actually told him that the SQUIP had returned to his head. "My SQUIP synced us! I'm sorry!" Rich shouted to Jeremy beginning to cry. "It's fine, Rich. I understand you aren't in control of your tic tac." Rich gave Jeremy a small smile after hearing those words.

"The sun's coming up... we should get back so we can get ready for school" Michael said looking out the window. He gave Rich a smile before getting ready to leave. Jeremy gave Rich a hug and told him to make sure to keep drinking the Mountain Dew. He then left with the room with Jake and walked to the car Michael was already sitting in. They began driving back to their dorm. "Will you have enough time to get ready for school, Jake?" Jeremy asked. Jake replied with a "obviously! It's Jakey D you're talking about!" Jeremy laughed as they walked into the dorm, waving Jake a goodbye.

Jeremy looked at the time, 8:45am, he hadn't realised how much time they spent at Rich's that morning. He quickly hurried to get dressed when he heard the SQUIP's voice; "Jeremy, you're putting your shirt on backwards, honestly, in the two years I was gone you completely forgot how to dress yourself?" It said. Jeremy just glared at it in the corner of the room before groaning and fixing his shirt.

As soon as he was finished getting ready he walked out the door to his car and began driving. "You do know you still suck at driving right?" He saw the SQUIP next to him. "I'm not as bad as I used to be, I guess-" he said as if he were talking to a normal human being. "-Why are you back anyway?" He continued. "Well let's just say my super computer brain was getting bored and saw that you were struggling again, so I thought I would help." He replied, grinning at Jeremy as if to say 'just let me help you , I'm too bored to live'.

Jeremy was hesitant to accept the 'offer' the SQUIP gave him but he knew he was falling behind on his school work. "Fine. But don't go trying to rule the world again, and definitely DON'T turn optic nerve-blocking on" he held his hand out to shake. "Well you just stated all the fun things but I guess I have to help" the SQUIP put out it's hand and shook Jeremy's. Luckily he was stopped at a red light, or they would sure be dead from his lack on concentration skills.

"First thing's first, Jeremy, as soon as your next chance appears, you have to do your homework, or your grades will never improve, even with me helping." The SQUIP said in a commanding voice. "Then, start taking more notes in class. And then-" he was cut off by Jeremy; "ok I get it, let's just focus on one thing at a time please?" "Fine. If it helps you improve." The SQUIP could be seen leaning on the car window, watching everything outside pass by as Jeremy drove past at a speed that was sure to be over the limit.
