*Arion picks up his phone and calls Joy on the phone. Joy was in the Colors Castle, in her room reading a comic book when Arion called. Joy picks up the phone*

**Arion**: H-hey, Joy…

**Joy**: Hey, Arion! What’s up? Any luck on finding any of the missing kids?

**Arion**: (worried) N-No! I was wondering if we can hangout today

**Joy**: (concerned) Sure, you must ne stressed over what’s been happening. I’ll get ready and I’ll come see you (smiles)

**Arion**: Really?

**Joy**: Sure, I’ll be down there in a few minutes. Just let me get dressed (hangs up) I hope he’s okay.

*Joy puts on her normal yellow shirt and does her hair in a mirror.*

**Joy**: (has her hair down) hmm….(messes with her hair to make it into 2 ponytails) Nope! (Does it to her usual back haired one) nope, I did this last time we went out (makes it into a boy’s hairstyle) uh-oh. (Makes her hair into braids that hang from the back of her head) Huh, I never did braids before. (Looks in the mirror) heh, I look like my sister! (Leaves and goes downstairs to Arion’s room)

**Arion**: (answers the door) oh hey! Are you ready?

**Joy**: Yeah (smiles and holds his hand) Where do you wanna go? I don’t want you to feel stressed about this situation. It’s bad for your health.

**Arion**: Thank you, um how about that nice hill we saw the other day

**Joy**: Oh, you mean picnic hill! Sure, we can have a picnic there

*Arion and Joy walk outside and Arion sees how devastated and empty the town is. The sight creeps him out and makes him shiver. Joy looks at him cutely too distract him. Arion keeps looking around in fear.*

**Joy**: (grabs his face and Makes him look at her face) Hey, look at me! Your gonna be okay! Everything will be okay! (Sees a playground) how about you push me on the swings?

**Arion**: Y-yeah…I’ll push you

**Joy**: (holds Arion’s hand and gets on the swing) I’m ready!

*Arion pushes Joy on the swing for a while and she has fun for a while. Arion looks away for a few seconds and Joy hits him too hard. Arion falls back with a bloody nose.*

**Joy**: (helps him up) Oh, my gosh! Are you okay?!

**Arion**: (rubs the blood off) yeah, I’m okay. How about some ice cream cones?

**Joy**: yeah, I love ice cream!

*Arion and Joy goes to get ice cream. They get to the ice cream truck and sees it completely empty.*

**Joy**: Uhh…hello? (Looks inside and grabs some ice cream)

**Arion**: Everyone’s gone remember? Not many people are left and I guess

**Joy**: it’s fine. I guess we can have some for free! (Smiles and sees a large basketball court and a few dodgeballs) Oh, look! We can play a dodgeball game before we go to picnic hill. (Licks her ice cream)

**Arion**: fine! At least Robert and Rosie are safe at home…right? (Licks his ice cream)

**Joy**: Come to think of it, I haven’t seen them this morning. (Puts her arm around him) But don’t worry, I’m sure their playing together right now.

**Arion**: Well, wanna go to the gym to play dodgeball, it’s bigger

**Joy**: No, apparently…well…

*A flashback happens when Joy was trying out an obstacle course and she jumps too far and lands on barbed wire.*

**Joy**: OW (falls off) My toe nail…

*The flashback ends and Joy is shown with a nervous expression*

**Joy**: [Nervous] Arion, is it illegal to have barbed wire in gym?

**Arion**: (walking to the basketball court) Uh, yes? Who put that there to begin with?

**Joy**: (walking with him) I don’t know, I asked Kenny if he could change it. My toenail fell off.

**Arion**: that’s not too bad (picks up a dodgeball) it’s just a toe nail, it grows back.

**Joy**: That’s what I’m- (throws a dodgeball at him) Glad about.

**Arion**: (catches it with his feet and starts bouncing it on the tip) Woah! Gotcha! (Kicks it back and throws the other one) Catch!

**Joy**: (gets hit) Oof (slids on the floor and gets up) Heh, nice one! (Looks around) Julie, you wanna- oh, right, everyone’s gone…

**Arion**: Yeah, it’s no fun without the others. I remember when the canon went off and the gym exploded.

**Joy**: [Giggles] Yeah, heh, and Kenny yelled at us.

**Arion**: Yeah…I didn’t see Julie or Kenny at all today…

*They look around and see the town completely devastated with most of the light up places now dim with awful smells coming from it. Joy looks up at picnic hill.*

**Joy**: Arion, you wanna take that picture?

*Arion simply ignores Joy’s question and walks into the ghost town. Arion starts seeing visions of all his friends there doing normal things. Arion tears up when they start to fade away. Joy follows him and tries to snap him out of it.*

**Arion**: [panicking] Where are they?!? Their still there, right, Joy?!?

**Joy**: (slaps him) Arion!

**Arion**: (crying a little) Joy…

**Joy**: I promise I’ll help you find them…

**Arion**: really?

**Joy**: Yes, how about we go take that picture? (Holds his hand)

**Arion**: (smiles and wipes his tears) Yeah, I feel better!

*Arion and Joy walk to the picnic hill. Arion runs with Joy up the hill. Arion stops at the top with Joy. Joy turns around and looks at the view.*

**Joy**: Arion! This view is amazing! (Joy turns Arion’s head to look) Look!

**Arion**: (eyes widen) wow! I never realized the town was this big!

**Joy**: (lays out the blanket and sits down) Arion?

**Arion**: coming! (Walks and sits by Joy)

**Joy**: (takes out her phone) Ready?

**Arion**: (smiles for the camera) Cheese!

*Joy takes the picture but she left the flash on. Arion jumps backwards by accident.*

**Arion**: My eyes! My eyes! You left the flash on! (Bumps his head and falls all the way down the hill. He face plants in the ground) Ow…

**Joy**: Crap! (Runs down the hill) Arion! (helps him out) Well, at least we got the picture!

**Arion**: (cleans himself off) Alright! Now, let’s go try to find someone who can help us find everyone else!

**Joy**: How? I don’t see Kenny anywhere!

**Arion**: Well, I do know Elijah is pretty smart! So let’s go see if he’s still around (holds Joy’s hand and walks with her to The Colors Castle)
