Dreamchasers  - Episode 7

“Weekend Hangout!”

# Scene 1

Ash, Dorothy

Today is going to be the day at the amusement park. Ash, unusually, woke up excited. Ash quickly dressed up into some casual but appealing clothes then hurried out to the living room.

Dorothy notices Ash as they run into the living room to put down a bag. She approaches Ash.

* Dorothy: Good morning.

* Ash: Morning.!

Ash hurries into the kitchen now.

* Dorothy: Did you pack everything you'll need? Do you remember what I told you?

Ash nods to Dorothy a few  times in a row while grabbing a chocolate pudding out of the fridge.

* Dorothy: May I ask why you're going this early? It’s 6:32am. I'm usually the only one who is awake because of my part time job..

* Ash: I want to arrive before the park opens..also it's because this park is pretty far away.. we'll need a bus…

# Scene 2

After quickly finishing the pudding, Ash hurried outside the flat. Kayla was slightly jumping up and down while waiting in front of the flat. Her eyes began to be sparkly after seeing Ash.

* Kayla: ASH!! GOOD MORNING!!! HAHAHA!!

She hugs Ash now.

* Ash: Ah..Good morning!

* Kayla: LET’S GOOOOO!!!

She starts running down the stairs with great enthusiasm.

* Ash: W-wha-…W-Wait for me!

Ash ran after Kayla. They run down and get outside. Now they walk next to each other. Kayla is happily marching. Ash notices the way Kayla dressed up. She looks…more dressed up than usual. Ash finds her outfit cool.

* Ash: W-wow…

* Kayla: hm?

* Ash: …Your outfit…is…pretty…

Kayla slightly blushes on that comment.

* Kayla: Ahaha! Thanks!

Ash smiles at Kayla. Kayla gives a bright smile back.

* Kayla: hum dee dum…

* Ash: Since us two are gonna be hanging out without anyone else interfering…It shouldn’t be a problem to make up and apologize to her somehow…And live out moments we probably missed in the past…because of me…

* Kayla: It’s gonna be so exciting to go there with all those people!!  We're gonna have a blast for sure!!

Ash and Kayla arrive at the stop. Kayla slightly covers one of her bare forearms with her hand. Ash notices George standing in the stop.

* Ash: Kayla…Why i-is George here??

* Kayla: Silly! I invited him!!

Ash stares into nothing in response… then George waves to Ash. Ash waves back lifelessly while facing the ground.

* George: Is something wrong?

* Kayla: I-I don’t know?! Ash looked happy a few moments ago!

* Ash: …Did you…invite a-anyone else without telling me…?

Ash looked quite disappointed.

* Kayla: Uhh–...Nine more people…ehehe…I hope that’s okay…

Ash looked like thunder had struck them - Ash did not want a huge group activity at all..

* Ash: WHAT!? YOU INVITED TEN PEOPLE!?

* Kayla: Yeah!

* Ash: Sigh ... .Kayla…..why…..It would b-be…okay if it was only…..u-us……or at the max, George or Blake…but why…why this many people…

* George: I was surprised as well..

The bus arrived. They hop on it quickly.

* Kayla: Dibs on the seat next to the window!!!

She started to run in the back of the bus.

* George: Ash, feel free to sit next to her. I’ll go take a seat nearby.

Ash nods to George and slowly walks and sits next to Kayla.

* Kayla: hehehe!! I can’t wait for what's gonna happen next!

* Ash: Kayla,….how did you get those p-people to join us??

* Kayla: I told them there's a surprise trip by my friend~!! They should wait
* for this bus at their nearest stop around 6:45am!

* Ash: …Since when are you this organised.?

* Kayla: Well…Sheila helped me with a lot of things! That's why I managed to make this trip TOTALLY AWESOME by going with a bunch of people!

* Ash: …I think it would be more awesome if there were less people to go with…

Meanwhile, Kayla pulls something out of her bag and opens it. It’s a bag of Cheetos.

* Kayla: Want some cheetos?

* Ash: I……..don't really understand you……sometimes..

Kayla looked towards the window for a second. Then awkwardly started eating the cheetos she just opened.

* Ash: You're really…u-unpredictable…sometimes…Uhm…

Awkward silence..

George’s voice suddenly could be heard from backwards.

* George: Maybe you two should talk about something else…It’s not like we can change what happened anymore.

* Ash: Oh...right…

Kayla just started awkwardly towards the window while nomming on the Cheetos.

* Ash: Kayla…Maybe…Uh…I would like to know if you…um…

Ash started scribbling in their notebook, slightly nervous..

Kayla started looking towards Ash again with curiosity. She heard the sound of scribbling..

* Ash: If you would like to accompany me for most of the time? There are loads of other people and I know you could be with anyone else but..

* Kayla: Of course I will! I'll be there! I didn't regret spending any second with you and I'm sure I'll feel that way today too!

Ash slightly smiled on that.

* Ash: I wanted to show something to you…

* Kayla: Show me something? Oooooo what is it???

* Ash: Surprise

* Kayla: ANOTHER ONE??

# Scene 3

Ash, Kayla, Blake, George, Sophia

They arrive at the park gate two hours later. Since everyone is there now, Ash and Kayla stand in a huge group of twelve. It looks like this group got parted into two smaller ones..one of the groups are Ash, Kayla, George, Blake, Sophia and Sheila.

* Kayla: WOWOWOWWWW!! I AM SO SO EXCITEDD!!

* Sophia: SAME SAME SAME!!

Ash looks at Kayla who is more energetic than usual.

* Ash: Please…don’t run far away from us, okay..?

Ash is trying to keep an eye on Kayla.

* George: We should split this group of twelve into two groups so that no one will be alone. Everyone needs at least one person to keep an eye on them.

* Sophia: I can’t believe we came here!!!

Sophia looks like she is about to run ahead as well..

* Blake: S-Sophia…this..I’ll…uh…apply f-for you…

* George: No one is cold, hungry or thirsty, right…?

George looked at Kayla with suspicion.

* Kayla: I'm okay! George, why are you looking at me like that again…

* George: because I think you dressed too lightly again. you didn’t let me help you.

* Kayla: NO I DIDN’T!! AND I'M NOT A LITTLE KID ANYMORE!!

* Ash: um…I can give you my cardigan…if you're cold, Kayla…

* Kayla: I told you I'm fine! I'm more cold-resistant than any of you!! Hehe~ I look fabulous! Ash told me I did!!

* Blake: “Too fabulous” for this weather…

# Scene 4

Ash, Kayla, Blake, George, Sophia, Sheila

A few minutes later, they enter the amusement park.

* Kayla: Ash you really didn’t have to pay for my ticket…

* Ash: It’s o-okay…I invited you..

Ash smiles at Kayla with sweetness.

* George: Aaawwww.

* Kayla: That’s far too generous…you know how expensive these tickets are even for one person…

* Sophia: Look at the map!! There's so much to see!!! Where do we start?

Kayla covers one of her arms again with one of her hands then takes a peek at the map Sophia is looking at. George grabs his map too now.

* George: Well there are 4 main areas..Adventurous Jungle, Deep Sea, Mighty Kingdom and Futuristic World…To warm up, we should start with slightly easy yet fun attractions and rides. Most of them are in the Mighty Kingdom area…

* Sophia: LETS GO TO THE KINGDOM!!! YEEAAAAHH!!!!

Sophia starts running there right at that moment.

* Blake: H-HEY!!! UH…W-WAIT UP!!!!

Blake starts running after her. George looks at the remaining Sheila, Ash and Kayla.

* George: Let’s go now you two-…wait…SHEILA? You're here with us too? Oh I'm so sorry…heheh…You should’ve said something…I thought you went with the other group..

* Sheila: Hello.

* George: How come you're here?

* Sheila: Kayla wanted me to come with her group.

* Kayla: Mhm!! She's coming with us!! She’s a great organizer!

* George: Bet my sister is hunting for friends again..

* Sheila: Now that things are set…Let's go after Blake and Sophia…

As they walk, Sheila keeps staring at Kayla covering one of her arms.

She knows Kayla feels cold…

When they all arrive in the kingdom area, they see Blake and Sophia with an icecream on a bench.

* Kayla: HEY!! You're eating ice cream without us??

* Blake: I'M SORRYYYYY…I had to stop Sophia from running around somehow!!

Sheila still has her eyes on Kayla. Sheila approaches her now. Suddenly, as she looks at Kayla in the eyes Sheila’s eyes glow in an unusual manner. She seems like she is using…her power??

* Sheila: Tell the truth.

She looks like she is mind controlling Kayla now.

* Kayla: I-…I'm cold…

Ash and Blake slightly shook.

* Sheila: Thought so.

Her eyes stopped glowing.

* Kayla: …..WHAT!?! I DIDN’T MEAN TO…

* George: HAH! YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME! Never choose looks over comfort.

* Kayla: SHEILA?? WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME? I DIDN'T MEAN TO…
* Sheila: What I had to do. Protect your health.

* Ash: Kayla…

Ash started searching around in their bag.

* Kayla: Oh no Ash you don’t have to…-

Ash places a light gray colored cardigan on Kayla anyways. Kayla blushes from embarrassment.

* Sophia: Kayla, you still look pretty!

* George: Thank you Sheila and Ash. Now that things are running smoothly, we can start out with the first attraction.

* Sophia: HAUNTED MANSION!

* Kayla: OKAY! HAUNTED MANSION!

Ash just nervously stares…

* Blake: okay.

* Sheila: alright.

* George: Cool! Now that it’s settled…

They start walking. Ash tries not to look slightly scared. This resulted in them making a weird expression.

Kayla meanwhile starts walking next to them.

* Kayla: Also I forgot to say…Ash, thanks for your cardigan…..

* Ash: …

Ash had no response.

# Scene 5

Ash, Kayla, Blake, George, Sophia, Sheila

They enter the haunted mansion after a few minutes of waiting..

It’s kinda dark there.

* Sophia: Hoho..it’s gonna be scary!

Blake notices a button.

* Blake: I wonder what this is…

As Blake presses it, a witch suddenly pops up on a nearby screen.

* Blake: WHAH-…oh

* Kayla: Pffff…

* George: Oh, it's the screen.

* Sophia: Ooooooo….

Ash shook a little from the witch. Sheila has no reaction at all. As they all keep walking, suddenly a monster crawls out from a bed. While George, Kayla and Sheila didn’t react, the others..

* Sophia: HAH!!!

* Blake: OH MY-

* Ash: WHAH!?

Ash is trying to get away from the monster (robot).

* Kayla: Careful!

A ghost illusion appears where Ash tried to go.

* Ash: AAAH!!!..D-DONT COME AFTER ME!!

Ash tripped when they saw that and then hid behind Kayla afterwards.

* George: Don’t worry, the monster is just a robot that does the same movements over and over. Going in and out of the bed when someone gets near the sensor. And the ghost is only on screen.

Suddenly, some noises can be heard. Steps, laughs and noises similar to Minecraft cave sounds.

* Ash: W….WHAT IS THAT?!?

* Kayla: good ol’ sound effects.

* Ash: IT..IT FEELS…R-R…R….

The floor shakes. Ash hugs Kayla in paranoia.

* Blake: woah!!

Blake is slightly scared but not as much as Ash or Sophia.

* Sophia: IT'S SHAKING!! ARE WE GONNA FALL DOWN?!

Sophia runs around the room. Ash just keeps hugging Kayla tighter while being horror-struck.

Sheila still has absolutely no reaction. George looks amused.

* Kayla: Ash! It’s okay, it's only a simulation!

Ash does not seem to care if it is real or not. It still makes them scared like hell.

* George: This is absolutely insane! I love these effects! It feels real!

* Sophia: ARE WE GONNA FALL?!

In the end, they walk out..

* Kayla: It was really cool!!

* Blake: Like sister like brother…

Ash is still speechless…They are being supported by Kayla.

* Kayla: Are you okay now.?

* Ash: ….uUuuughhh….

Seems like Ash got slightly dizzy from that.

* Sophia: IT WAS REALLY SCARY!! The floor shaking really felt real…

* George: I know right? Absolutely mindblowing - I haven’t been to a better haunted house…

* Sophia: NEXT NEXT!!!!

* Blake: Uhh..Wait a….uhhh…minute there,…I got..ummm….dizzy…Ash probably feels……the same w-way….

* Sophia: Maybe we should go for a ride now!!

Sheila picks out the map.

* Sheila: Would this be ok?

She points at the “royal magic train” ride.

* Sheila: It's high up. This makes it easier to look around the whole park. It’s an easy and slow ride, specifically made for this.

* George: Sounds good to me!

* Sophia: SAME!!! LETS GO HIGH UP!!

* Blake: Alright.

* Kayla: Okay!

Ash just nods.

# Scene 6

Ash, Kayla, Blake, George, Sophia, Sheila

On the train ride.. George and Blake are talking with eachother.

* Blake: We're almost up. Whoah, it will be kinda interesting to see this amusement park from this train…

* George: This will be nothing compared to the crazy roller coaster we're gonna go up on soon!

* Blake: What roller coaster? You mean the new one?

* George: Yeah, the black hole! Have you heard of it? It drops you down and you go into a tunnel. Then you go on two big twists. It’s apparently the highest coaster here.

Sheila and Ash are paying attention to their convo.

Ash shivers when listening to the details about the coaster again.

* Sheila: Ash. If you don’t want to go up there, you don’t have to.

Ash starts scribbling in their book.

* Ash: Oh…but everyone else will go…Although…I think I'll be nauseous if I go on…

* Sheila: I'll stay down with you.

Ash got slightly surprised by that. Meanwhile, the group got let in after the staff let in some kids and adults before them.

* Sophia: LETS GOOOO!!!

Kayla seemed to be unusually slowing down when arriving from the stairs. It’s like she is…careful.?

* Blake: I am sitting back there.

* George: I'm coming with you!

Sheila is looking at Kayla again. After a few seconds of looking, she suddenly taps Ash’s shoulder.

* Sheila: Something is off about Kayla again. Look after her. I'll look after Sophia.

# Scene 7

Ash, Kayla

Sheila then sees Sophia approaching her. She then started agreeing to sit somewhere. Looks like Ash got left with Kayla again. Ash sees her standing and watching the others sit in with an uneasy but smiling face. Ash approaches her.

* Ash: Kayla.? Why are you standing here?

* Kayla: -OH!

* Ash: Almost everyone is…sitting now…don’t you wanna come.?

* Kayla: I'm sorry, I do want to!! I just zoned out-! Hehehe….

Ash and Kayla sat down on a remaining seat. Kayla sits with a stiff posture, unlike the other times she sits down. Then starts shaking one of her legs.

* Ash: huh.? Sheila was right…she is off somehow…Is she thinking about something bad? Kayla…

* Kayla: Hm?

She smiles a little brighter at Ash.

* Ash: You c-can…relax…Empty your head…you know…

* Kayla: oh? I am relaxed…

* Ash: ……

Ash touches her shaking leg with one of their hands in order to stop it from shaking. Kayla just stared at that awkwardly…Then takes off their hand afterwards.

* Kayla: Are we about to go now?

* Ash: Probably…

The mini train starts moving around. It starts to go around the area.

* Ash: Wow…this is…quite calming. You were right. Sheila knows what she's doing..

* Kayla: …Yeah…

Kayla looks a little distressed but still seems quite okay(?) in overall. Questionably.

* Ash: Look. The Ferris wheel. ….Wanna go there later on?

Kayla looks at it as well now.

* Kayla: Sure. It's really amazing at night.! It’s too bad that the park closes very soon after it gets dark. I've always dreamt of being there…

Now they are near the Futuristic World area.

* Kayla: Oh my god! …..Look at that! It’s the black hole coaster?!

* Ash: It’s…so big…I already feel sick just looking at it…

* Kayla: It looks amazing! Oh! Look, those are spinny UFOs! Let’s go there soon!

* Ash: …That one will…definitely make me dizzy, that’s for sure…

Kayla now is slightly closer to Ash while pointing around on Ash‘s side.

* Kayla: The sea area has a lot of watery rides! we could get wet! …Oh my god, turtle river!! Oh….A water slide! Squid with sprinklers!

* Ash: I-It’s-…not that hot anymore though…You had to wear my cardigan for a reason…You would be….freezing…if I weren’t here….

* Kayla: heh….

Kayla looks at the cardigan she is wearing again. She slightly blushes meanwhile. What could be the reason for that…embarrassment or the fluttery feeling she is unfamiliar with?

* Kayla: There's this weird uncomfortableness I started to have when I walked up the stairs…I don’t know what it is….or….why it's there…But I feel slightly better if Ash is here…

They keep staring at the areas.

* Ash: Kayla. Look, it's the jungle area…they have a few coasters…and good looking restaurants. I think we should have lunch there…

Kayla looks from Ash‘s side again.

* Kayla: Ooooo!! Can we go to the place that has the cotton candy stall nearby?

# Scene 8

Ash, Kayla, Blake, George, Sophia, Sheila

At the Sea area.

* Kayla: Can we get on the Turtle one?? Pleeeeaaassee!!!

* Blake: Oh no, we might get wet…

* George: Actually it depends where you sit…some people get less wet than others…

* Sophia: What? How!!?

Two people walk out of the ride.

* Kayla: See how those people walked out? They aren't THAT wet!

Sophia meanwhile runs off in the background.

* Ash: I don’t w-want any of you…to catch a cold…

Sophia has disappeared. Blake notices.

* Blake: GUYS!? WE ARE LOSING SOPHIA!!

* Ash: HUH!?!?

Blake starts running to the line waiting for their turn at the attraction..

He caught Sophia standing in the line.

* Sheila: don’t do that again.

* Sophia: Do what?

* Blake: R-RUN AWAY!?

* Ash: …no one s-should be a-alone…what if you got lost..?

* George: Nothing good comes out of going somewhere alone.

* Sheila: Let’s skip this ride if it's this conflicting…Let’s just go and play some games. Look. You can win plushies and toys.

Everyone looks at the game stalls now.

* Sophia and Kayla: Plushies!!!!!

* Ash: Sounds good.

* Blake: Same for me.

* George: Let’s go!

# Scene 9

Ash, Kayla, Blake, George, Sophia, Sheila

At the stalls…now the group is shooting the cans.

* Blake: God damn! I cannot shoot one!

* George: Haha! I shot three cans! Look at my brand new keychains! One can, one keychain! I bet I'll shoot all of them on my next try and get a plush!

* Kayla: mmmmgghhhhppppp….

Kayla is trying really hard to shoot any cans but doesn‘t succeed. All she does is growl when she fails. Ash doesn’t seem to hit any cans as well.

* Sophia: OH! I shot one!! look at my cutie cat keychain!

She shows it off to Sheila. She looks at it for a sec. Then Sheila shot down all the cans.

* Blake and George: WHAT!?

* Ash: Wow.! You're…amazing…

Sophia happily claps. Kayla does an angry pomph.

* Kayla: No fair! I wanted a plush!

* Sheila: You can try another game anytime.

Sheila gets herself a seal plush. They move on to another game.

* Blake: Find the winning duck, eh? Let’s see…

He grabs out a rubber duck and awkwardly stares at the bottom. It didn’t win.

* Blake: Guess it’s not my day.

Others start grabbing ducks too.

* George: Huh. Mine is not a winner either…

* Kayla: Mine lost too…

* Sheila: no win.

* Sophia: It’s a bad luck rubber duck!

Ash nervously hesitated for minutes. Finally, they grabbed a random rubber duck without looking.

* Sophia: Is it a lucky duck?!

* Ash: …

Ash opened their eyes and slowly looked at the bottom of the duck.

* Ash: mm-mm….

Ash shook their head.

* Sophia: Try again!! I have a good feeling!

* Blake: D-don’t uhhh….make Ash spend more…

# Scene 10

Ash, Kayla, Blake, George, Sophia, Sheila

At the jungle area. They all are eating now.

* Sophia: …yum!

* George: I think we should visit the jungle ride here. It’s family friendly too.

* Sheila: Not against it.

Sophia happily nods while munching on the burger. Ash nods as well.

* Kayla: ohhhkayyy!! Let’s check out the jungle ride next!

Ash suddenly stands up and points to the bathroom.

* George: alright. We'll wait.

Ash runs off, but not to the bathrooms. They ran back to the game stalls. Ash goes to the duck game again. They look at the plushes. Then at a white fox plush. They had a determined face right now. And pulled out a duck.

* Ash: WHA?!

Ash somehow pulled out the winning duck first try.

* Ash: Sophia had a good instinct this time…huh.

Ash gets the white fox plush from the staff. Ash slightly smiles and puts it in their bag. Ash happily runs back to everyone else…

* George: Now that everyone is here, shall we keep going?

* Sophia: LETS GO!!!!

After the jungle ride…

* Ash: The gorilla was too realistic…

* George: The shock on your face when you thought it was real…hehehe…

* Kayla: The foxes looked the cutest!

* Sophia: What about the parrots?!

Sheila just listened.

* Blake: I think the lion looked amazing.

* Ash: THE LION!? IT LOOKED LIKE IT WOULD …..E-EAT US…

* George: Ash, that was a gate.

They finally walked to the Futuristic area.

* George: Look! We all talked about the rocket that drops us down, the movie, the spinning UFOs, and the new black hole ride. Where should we start?

* Sophia: UFO! UFO!!

* Blake: movie?

* Ash: UFO…

* Sheila: We'll get in quickly. There's barely anyone waiting now.

After getting in…

* Kayla: Let’s do this!

* George: Alright. I'll spin, okay?

* Blake: ok.

Ash nods.

* Sophia: spinny spinny!

The ride starts. George spins the UFO around.

* Sophia: WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!

* Blake: Oh my god this is getting fast!

Ash just held on to something for their dear life.

* Kayla: Let’s spice this up y‘all!

She starts spinning it with George now. The spinning becomes REALLY FAST now.

* Kayla: HOOOOO!!! LET‘S KEEP THIS ON!!

* Blake: WOAH WOAH WOAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

* Sophia: WOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Sheila‘s eyes opened a little more than usual.

* George: IT'S GOING SO FAST THAT EVEN SHEILA REACTED!

* Sophia: REALLY!?

Ash just kept silently clinging onto the UFO while looking shocked. The group kept spinning like this for the next two minutes. Then the ride stops.

* Sheila: That was…something.

* Sophia: IT'S TRUE!

* Blake: I got dizzy a little…

* Kayla: I had a blast! Let’s see the movie! It’s 4d!

* Sophia: FOOOOUUURRRR D!!!!!

Ash came out of the ride like an alcoholist would walk out from the bar after drinking tequila.

* Sheila: It will be a good rest after this.

Sheila looks at Ash tripping around from dizziness. She goes there and supports Ash.

* Sheila: Are you alright?

* Ash: a little…It was s-slightly too f-fast…though it was…okay…

Now they go to the cinema…after that, they visit a neat gift shop.

* Ash: That cinema was..Pretty fun.! Heh, I'm getting into this…

* Kayla: That's the spirit! Exploring the woods was amazing!

* Blake: I kinda liked it too.

* Sheila: Is the next ride the black hole?

* Kayla and Sophia: YEEEEEESSSSS!!!

* George: Aw yeah! I can’t wait for that.

* Blake: Same.

* Ash: …..

* Sheila: I think Ash and I will just wait for the rest of you here.

* Kayla: WHAAAATT?! Why won’t you tag along?! You'll miss out on something that could be a once in a lifetime experience!

* Sheila: Not everyone likes going to those enormous coasters.

* Kayla: You sure you two don’t want to come with us.?

* Sheila: I'm sure. Ash agrees too. Though I promise we'll watch you all go down on the ride.

* Kayla: Mmmm…okay fine….

* George: Come on the rest of you, I'll lead you all to the coaster line.

Kayla waves to Ash one before she walks off with Sophia, George and Blake.

# Scene 11

Sheila, Ash

* Sheila: Seems like it’s only us now.

* Ash: Yeah..

Sheila thinks for a second then talks to Ash again.

* Sheila: You're in the literature club, right? How long have you been writing?

* Ash: oh.? Yeah.. Well..I've written poems since 5th grade..hehe…

* Sheila: The club leader showed me one of your poems before.

* Ash: I hope it’s one of those I'm not embarrassed about…

* Sheila: Your writing was good. I like it a lot.

Ash was surprised to hear that. Especially the fact that Sheila has a flat face most of the time so she is pretty unpredictable.

* Ash: R-Really?? Thanks.! I feel honored..

Ash slightly smiled at Sheila.

* Ash: Can you show me one of your poems.? Of course….if you don't mind doing that… I’m curious…

Sheila grabbed out her phone and started searching.

* Ash: …huh?

Then she hands her phone to Ash with a digital document displayed on it which she wrote into.

* Ash: oh! Alright.

Ash reads her writing.

* Ash: W-Wow!! This is…This is really well-done!! …I wish I could write like this…I'm really in awe…!

Their eyes seem to be sparkling from what they just read.

* Sheila: Thanks. This took me a long time to make.

Ash looks at the coaster for a second. They see a cart going up to the top of the black hole coaster. They walk towards the viewing area. Sheila follows.

* Ash: Look! That cart goes really high up! I wonder if Kayla is on it now… is it going now…

* Sheila: Probably not. It has a very long queue. And they left 15 minutes ago. See that screen up there? Waiting time: 1 hour.

* Ash: ONE HOUR?!

* Sheila: ….Want to do something meanwhile?

They sit down at a table and have some ice cream. And of course, they share their other poems with each other now.

* Sheila: -I like this poem of yours since it has a lot of emotion put into it. It's really expressive. I found a lot of metaphors too. I think there are also some hidden elements in it..

* Ash: …you noticed?? Julia…never noticed that…

* Sheila: There's a hint in one of the metaphors that expresses that there is a light of hope.

* Ash: yes..!!

* Sheila: Did you write this when you were down?

* Ash: ….k-kinda…

* Sheila: I envy you. Your poems seem full of life. You also have really creative ways to write down your feelings.

* Ash: You're too kind…I sorta tried to write something about one of my friends too but I don’t know if i should show them. They aren't really interested in poetry..

* Sheila: If they're a good friend, they will value your efforts and take a liking to your piece. Regardless if they like poetry or not.

* Ash: Alright…anyways, since you go to the same school as me…What power do you have?

* Sheila: ….Mind control.

* Ash: M-MIND CONTROL?! I c-can't believe it.!!

* Sheila: I can make people do things they don't intend to do.

Sheila stands up for a second and looks around. She sees an arguing mother with a child. Ash looks at them as well as Sheila walks up there.

* Mother: No, I won't buy you that dog plush, Sasha! You have enough plushies at home.

* Sasha: BUT MOM!!! HE IS SO CUTE!! AND I ALREADY HAVE A NAME FOR HIM!!! I'LL CALL HIM BROWNIE!!

* Mother: No.

* Sasha: PLEASEEEE!!!!!

Sheila‘s eyes glow once again.

The mom suddenly became silent.

Suddenly, the mom picks the dog plush down from the shelf, with no thoughts, then buys the plush for the child.

* Sasha: THANKS MOMMY!! I WILL LOVE BROWNIE FOREVER AND EVER!!

Sheila‘s eyes stopped glowing. The mother confusedly looks at the dog plush and the receipt.

* Mother: What!? I bought it!. But I don't remember buying it…What just happened…?

Sheila looks at Ash once again when they stood up beside her.

* Ash: oh my god…that's really m-mind control…I am slightly a-afraid now..

* Sheila: Don’t worry. I won‘t hurt you.

They see another cart going up at the black hole coaster.

* Ash: We’ve been waiting for a while now…maybe this one could be Kayla and the others.?

* Sheila: Once they get up entirely we might be able to recognize them.

Ash watches the cart eagerly. Sheila stares at it too.

The cart got up.

Ash recognised everyone by clothes and hair.

* Ash: It’s them!

Ash waved to their friends, maybe they would look at Ash and Sheila. Sheila started recording.

No one noticed Ash waving though.

* Sheila: They will drop in….3…2…1…

As the coaster drops them down…the moment they arrive around the ground…

Came with a sudden noise. But not any kind of noise. It was the sound of an explosion.. There came a lot of smoke, dust, and it seemed like stuff got on fire right at that moment.

The hot wind blew Ash‘s and Sheila‘s hair as they saw the cart literally getting blown up.

Ash gasped in terror. Sheila looked shocked as well.

* Ash: HAH!?

Ash seemed like they were about to cry in any second. As they shout with teary eyes, their voice breaks.

* Ash: KAYLA!!!! A-ANYONE!!!! P-Please!!! Tell me this isn't real!! T-TELL ME YOU'RE OKAY!!!

As they get no reply and hear a siren from nearby, their tears start to fall on the ground.

* Ash: No….no….NO!!!

Ash started uncontrollably shaking and crying out loudly. Sheila, who stood beside Ash, looked at them, slowly turned around and offered a hug. Ash hugged back immediately. Sheila had a shocked face unlike any of the times.

* Sheila: …What happened.?

Ash couldn’t reply since they were crying so hard that it would be inaudible whatever they would say… As the sirens kept on going, the more people started to run away from the scene in panic.
