"YOU DID WHAT?!" Skylar got on her feet, staring at Naomi with a mix of anger and shock. Naomi had her hands slammed over her face in embarrassment.

"I know, I know!"

"Naomi, you've doomed us all with your IDIOCY! The Vault kids are probably experiencing worse than us right now!" Skylar blabbered on as she paced around. Naomi continued to have her hands cover her face.

"Stop sitting there and say something!" Skylar yelled.

"I'M SORRY, OKAY?" Naomi slammed her hands onto the ground and yelled. Skylar's eyes opened wide. "I'M SCARED! I'M SCARED OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER! ALL THE KIDS WHO GO THROUGH EDEN TURN OUT TO BE A TEACHER IN THE FUTURE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT!"

"Naomi... running away from the inevitable future will do nothing but hurt us. You're being way too overdramatic about this, anyway. Look at me! I've done Eden and I'm fine!" Skylar held her arms out.

"You don't even know what happens at Eden!" Naomi retorts back. "I've had friends go and never return!"

"Sometimes that's just how it is! Look Naomi, you have to keep the cycle going. Otherwise, everything is going to crumble apart. Look, our magic has already been affected!"

"I just... I don't WANT to go to Eden! I don't want my future to be set in stone! Do you want to grow up and be a teacher?"

"If it's my destiny, then yes! What else would we do, Naomi?"

"I... I just don't want to experience the pain!"

"How do you even know it's painful?! You haven't completed it yet!"

"It can't NOT be painful just based off of the beginning!"

"So what if it is? You won't remember anyway!"

"Nobody should have to go through pain to get better, Skylar!"

"CLEARLY your STUPID Valley teachers haven't taught you common sense! That's JUST how life goes! You go through hardships to get better!"

"THEY ARE NOT STUPID! And I'm content with the way I am!"

"STOP BEING SO SELFISH, NAOMI! ALL OF OUR LIVES ARE ON THE LINE RIGHT NOW! IF YOU DON'T DO EDEN, THE CYCLE WILL BE RUINED. MUST I REMIND YOU WHAT THE CYCLE IS, SINCE YOUR REAL TEACHERS CLEARLY CAN'T TEACH YOU ANYTHING?!"

"SHUT. UP!" Naomi honked. "I knew I shouldn't have said ANYTHING. I'm going home."

Naomi closed her eyes and meditated harshly before seeing a pure white.
