Scene 1:

A few weeks have passed. Clive, Leonard and Kimi missed some classes of Term 3. Right now, it's August, and they're ready to make a big comeback to Red Fire. Clive is now entering the school, and runs into Kimi.

[Clive and Kimi high-five]

Kimi: It's good to be back.

Clive: You bet. So, how's your foot?

Kimi: I can walk normally, but if I try to jump or whatever, it will still hurt.

Clive: Well, just be glad, it could have been much worse.

Kimi: You bet... I still think it's my fault.

Clive: Don't do that to yourself. You drove responsibly. It was that damn oil spill.

[Leonard arrives and high-fives them]

Clive: Good to have you back.

Leonard: Likewise... By the way, Kaipo, Claire, and the rest of the gang supposedly tried to visit us at the hospital, but couldn't, because of them only allowing families.

Kimi: Didn't know that.

Clive: And by the rest, you mean...

Leonard: (continuing him) Yes, Stacy too. And Tiffany.

Clive: Cool.

Leonard: So Kimi, how's the Holden?

Kimi: Completely fucked, but the insurance will cover it.

[Jason and Karl show up, and welcome them back]

Jason: So glad you guys are okay.

Karl: (hands each one of them a bunch of notes) This is all the stuff you guys missed.

Leonard: Thanks so much, mates.

Clive: Yeah, we really appreciate it.

Jason: Oh please, we did what any decent person would.

[They begin walking to class]

Kimi: So, what's new?

Jason: Oh boy, a lot has happened since Term 3 started.

Karl: Indy released her album.

Kimi: (unenthusiastically) Yay.

Karl: But wait, there's more.

Jason: So much more. Max's cartoon has premiered on TV.

Leonard: (unenthusiastically) Yay.

Karl: Oh, and that's not all.

Jason: You guys will never guess what happened.

Karl: Max and Indy are engaged.

Clive: (unenthusiastically) Yay... (realizes what he just heard) Excuse me, what the fuck?

Jason: Yep. You heard that right.

Karl: And they have been the center of attention for the last few weeks, because of that.

Clive: But how? How?!

Jason: Apparently Max proposed to her when they went on a skiing trip to Kiandra or some shit. At least that's what I heard.

Leonard: Isn't it like... Super early for them to do that?

Clive: Guess they forgot they're supposed to be 16.

Kimi: I mean, I'm not the best person to judge, since I'll be living with my girlfriend on Coral Bay next year, but wow, I never pictured them getting married so soon.
