Lance: *He sat on the edge of the couch due to excitement.* (I really want to go, but Ashton's stupid manager thing is on tomorrow-)
Kairi: *She noticed Lance stare at a blank screen, which caused her to look curious.* "Lance?"
Lance: *He unintentionally ignored her, as he grumbled deep in thought.* (I always feel like I can sense strange things and all that stuff so, I want to check this out. I don't even want to be a manager, I'm only doing it for Ashton.) *He sighed to himself with frustration.*
Kairi: "What was all that about, hun?"
Lance: "Some stupid thing." (Sorry Ashton but I really want to go to this store.)
Kairi: "Lance, it's getting cold." *She sat down and grabbed a knife and fork.*
Lance: "I'm comin' far out." *He got up and hobbled to the table as he plopped himself onto a chair.*
Kairi: "Luna, come on! It's getting cold!" *Her voice caused the sounds of a door opening in response.*
Luna: "Sorry, mother." *She walked out of her room dressed in all black and covered in dark make-up.*
Lance: (That thing is my sister-) *He watched Luna drag her feet to the table.*
Luna: *She noticed Lance staring at her, which caused her eyebrow to twitch.* "Wat are you lookin' at?!"
Lance: "Did ya take so long 'cause you were cuttin' yourself a little longer than usual?"
Luna: "So, Lance, have you seen any more ghosts lately or tryin' to summon a character from one of your stupid games?" *She smirked.*
Lance: "Wow, was I wrong? You took so long because you had to glue your face together because it broke when you tried to smile?"
Kairi: "Lance, enough!"
Lance: "What about her?" *He pointed at Luna like a child.*
Kairi: "She is five years younger than you, you should know better-"
Lance: "Yeah thanks for dinner, I'm off to bed, aye." *He pushed the chair back and made his way to his room.*
Kairi: "But you haven't eaten anything?" *Her voice slightly echoed down the hallway.*
Lance: "I'm not hungry anymore." *He slammed the door behind him and took a few steps into his room and yawned.* (Looks like I used more energy at that paintball thing than I expected.) *He yawned again and lay down on the bed. He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.*
----------
Luna: *She frowned in anger, intensely staring at herself in the mirror.* (That stupid idiot!)
*Luna rubbed her left eye and dropped her arm in a defeated-like manner, smearing black makeup all down one side of her face.*
Luna: (Maybe I'll join Kylie and Kerry-Anne tomorrow, not like anyone will care..) *She whimpered and dragged her feet to the bed, collapsing face-first into the pillow.*
----------
*Nathan slowly woke up, noticing he was bound by thick rusty chains.*
Nathan: "Huh-?" *He glanced across a jail-like cell, listening to the sounds of chains and moans echo in the background.*
*Nathan squinted and opened his eyes wider, finding himself chained to a stone door.*
Nathan: (I've... I've finally been captured?)
----------
*Ashton and Rachael stood on the roof of Fast Food Enterprise, watching the cars drive down the street.*
Rachael: "It wasn't cool what Lance did."
Ashton: "He did a no show on the day he was meant to do his manager's induction."
Rachael: "How did Twortz react?"
Ashton: *She wasn't too impressed, but I was able to cover for him."
Rachael: (Ash is so sweet.) *She looked at Ashton with blushing cheeks.*
Ashton: "Thanks for today." *He smiled and held Rachael's hand, causing her to giggle.*
Rachael: "Why're you thanking me? We just talked after your shift-"
Ashton: "No matter what we're doing, I'm always grateful for the times we spend together."
Rachael: "Hehe, Ash."
Ashton: "No. I mean it, Rach."
Rachael: (I can see why a lot of girls are jealous of me now, he's a wonder-)
Ashton: *He looked up and watched the stars flicker, causing him to smile.* (I find the good in everyone, but with Rach, I don't even need to try. She is just amazing-) "Excuse me, Rach?"
Rachael: *She looked up, admiring the stars with Ashton.* "Yeah?"
Ashton: "How come you never complain or ask why I'm Lance's friend?"
Rachael: "Why should I question who you should be friends with?"
Ashton: "Ha ha, that's what I like about you." *He smiled and shook his head, as if it didn't matter.*
Rachael: "Oh? So you only like me because I don't question anything about you?" *She spoke in a playful-like manner, looking at Ashton with a smile.*
Ashton: "Ha ha, you got me." *He stepped back and swayed his arms, as if Rachael was right.*
Rachael: "Hehe, sure did, arsehole." *She smirked and playfully turned away, folding her arms.*
Ashton: "You're amazing, Rach."
Rachael: "That's Rachael to you."
Ashton: "Oh, sorry. Ahem. You're amazing, unacceptable face."
Rachael: "Hehe! Unacceptable face?" *She turned around and faced Ashton, trying not to laugh.*
Ashton: "Ha ha, that's the best I got. Leave me alone."
Rachael: "You halfwit." *She smirked, causing Ashton to turn red.*
Ashton: "All you do is pay me out, jeez. Give me a break."
Rachael: *She smirked, stepping forward.* "Sorry?"
Ashton: "Acceptable." *He smirked and leant forward, kissing Rachael on the lips.*
----------
*Luna, Kylie and Kerry-Anne drank from alcohol bottles, watching the sunrise.*
Kylie: "This feels like a public holiday."
Kerry-Anne: "Sceldrant's Comet.. It kinda is."
Luna: "Yea." *She grunted in agreement and violently rocked the bottle up, taking a sip of alcohol.*
Kylie: "We've all been hurt, so why do we seriously continue to rot?"
Kerry-Anne: "Wither and waste our parents' money?"
Luna: (Wasting our parents' money? She's right! I never thought of it like that-)
Kylie: "It would be easier to end it.."
Kerry-Anne: "Damn right." *She spoke in a sorrowful-like manner, taking a sip from the bottle.*
Luna: "Such a waste of space and resources, aye."
Kerry-Anne and Kylie: "Damn right."
----------
*Lance stood outside Fast Food Enterprise and sighed, before opening the door.*
Lance: *He stepped inside and instantly felt cool air brush past him.* (That's better.) *He noticed Ashton standing with his arms folded and his face filled with disappointment.* (He doesn't look happy-)
Ashton: "Lance! I will not accept this." *He stormed across the dining room and up to Lance.* "I was made to look like a fool in front of Tyler and Twortz."
Lance: "Why does it matter?" *He spoke as if he didn't care.*
Ashton: "It matters because I'm the one who suggested promoting you. I really don't know why you are my best friend sometimes!"
Lance: *He picked up several napkins to wipe the sweat off his face.* "So wat, I ain't gonna get promoted?"
Ashton: *He sighed and looked away.* "Lance-"
Lance: "Well?"
Ashton: "Well luckily for you Twortz said, since you are our best worker Ashton, I will let this no show slide. If he wants this position to let him know that myself and a few other employees will be here tonight. We will begin the assessment then."
Lance: "OK-"
Ashton: "You are so lucky."
Lance: "I'm sorry, Ashton."
Ashton: "One of these days I won't forgive you.. What flaming fudge were you doing anyway? I was calling non-stop?"
Lance: "Ah, I, umm? Overslept. I'm sorry, man.... And thanks for sticking up for me." *He threw the napkins in the bin.*
Ashton: *He sighed and adjusted his belt.* "If you don't turn up tonight I won't forgive you." *His voice was stern and his face filled with seriousness.*
&n
bsp; Lance: "Yea, I will."
Ashton: "Well I have rosters to do so I'll be on the computer all day. Come back at around nine thirty?"
Lance: "Yea kool, I'll see you then."
*Ashton nodded his head and quietly walked back behind the counter to the office. Lance turned around and walked to the door.*
Lance: (Oh no-) *He stopped and sighed, realising he had to walk all the way back to his house in the heat. He opened the door and hot air engulfed him.*
Tyler: *He eavesdropped on Lance and Ashton's conversation, as he spied through a display cabinet.* (Why is Lance Ashton's best friend?)
Lance: (I suppose this is karma.) *He sighed and braced himself, as he took a few steps outside.*
Tyler: (He always hinders Ashton's performance....)
----------
*A man and woman in dancer-like garments ran through an ancient forest with their arms swaying behind their back.*
?????: *She looked at the darkly tanned man, frowning in a worried-like manner.* "I'm worried, Lehi."
Lehi: *He looked at the woman with red hair, shaking his head.* "We have to get to the city before they do."
?????: "But-"
Lehi: "Don't worry, Elizabeth. Victoria, Cortax and the others will be there."
Elizabeth: "But, Holy Neurons, the Consultant!-"
Lehi: "We'll worry about that when we get there."
Elizabeth: "Okay." *She frowned in determination and started to run faster, causing her robes to rapidly flap to each side.*
----------
Luna: *She sat on the end of her bed, listening to the crickets sing in the night's breeze.* (I can't believe I passed out and slept for the entire day!)
*Luna moaned and looked up, watching Lance step into the bathroom.*
Luna: *She looked down and held her head up, listening to the shower turn on.* (I even left my door open? Gah.. I can't believe-)
*Lights suddenly spiralled out of the bathroom, instantly catching Luna's attention.*
Luna: "W-Wat the-?!" *She unintentionally screamed in shock, intensely staring at the swirling lights.*
Kairi: *She power walked down the hallway and looked at Luna, catching her attention.* "Hun?"
Luna: "Th-There's lights!" *She pointed behind Kairi, causing her to turn around.*
Kairi: *She stared at the bathroom door with an unimpressed expression on her face.* "There's nothing-"
Luna: "I-I saw lights!" *She rubbed her eyes, ignoring the smeared black make-up on her face.*
Kairi: *She took several steps into Luna's room, instantly sniffing the air.* (Alcohol...) "Let's go to the couch."
Luna: "But-"
Kairi: (Why does she do this to herself?) *She grabbed Luna by the arm and gently lifted her up.*
Luna: "But-? Gah!" *She frowned in pain.* (My head-)
Kairi: *She walked down the hallway and gently placed Luna on the couch.* "There-"
Luna: "No! Just check the effin' bathroom!"
Kairi: *She sighed in a defeated-like manner and turned around, walking towards the bathroom.* "Lance?"
Luna: *She awkwardly looked over the couch, staring at Kairi with anticipation.* "What if there're aliens-"
Kairi: *She knocked on the door, ignoring Luna's suggestion.* "Are you okay in there, hun?"
Lance: "Wateva, go away." *He shouted with an echoing voice, stepping into the shower.*
Kairi: "Okay."
Luna: *She shook her head, watching Kairi walk back towards her.* "I'm freakin' serious, all these lights spiralled out of the door."
Kairi: "Shh, it's okay." *She walked up to Luna and hugged her.*
Luna: "It's not OK. I know what I saw."
Kairi: ".. Are you taking drugs again?"
Luna: "Drugs? What? No."
Kairi: "Maybe Lance played a trick on you?"
Luna: "My stupid brother doesn't have the intelligence to play a trick like that."
--
*Lance stood in the fogged up bathroom and listened to the cheers outside, which filled him up with excitement.*
Lance: *He chuckled and shook his head.* (Stupid crazy old fart.) *As he changed, he gazed upon faded crystal-like purple stone with a guilty face.* (I will show Ashton the cool crystal.. I will tell him the truth about the no show.)
*Lance opened the door and walked down the hallway, catching Kairi's attention.*
Kairi: "Where are you going?" *She spoke in a curious tone.*
Lance: "I'm off to work." *He walked past her, blatantly ignoring Luna.*
Kairi: "I thought it was your day off?"
*Lance ignored her and slammed the front door, as he jogged his way to work.*
Luna: "It came from the bathroom.." *She grunted on her breath and started to watch TV.*
Kairi: *She looked at Luna and sighed, causing her to slowly walk into the bathroom.* (Huh?)
*Kairi stared at the fogged up mirror, noticing glyphic-like hieroglyphs on them.*
Kairi: (He is twenty-one and he still writes on the mirror?) *She sighed again and reached for a cloth.*
*Firework-like rumbles echoed outside, followed by cheers of excitement.*
Luna: *She frowned, tapping the remote on the side of her head.* (They're too noisy.)
Kairi: *She switched on the bathroom's fan and started to wipe off the glyphs on the fogged up mirror.* (Wait a minute.. These glyphs!?!) *She gasped and stepped back.*
Luna: *She heard Kairi gasp, causing her to mute the TV.* "Wat's wrong?"
Kairi: "I-I need you to get Lance now!"
Luna: *She frowned in a rebellious-like manner, as if she didn't want to.* "Excuse-?!"
Kairi: "Go, now!" *She shouted out of character, causing Luna to slowly stand up in shock.*
Luna: "O-OK?" *She spoke as if she didn't know what to do.*
Kairi: "He's headed for work, go!"
Luna: "Umm, OK..?"
----------
*Excitement filled the atmosphere, as if it was a holiday at Dee Highs.*
Lance: *He looked up and squinted his eyes, staring at the night sky.* (No signs of that damned comet yet.)
*There were posters, bulletins, newsstands, radio adverts, mostly all media outlets, advertising the arrival of Sceldrant's Comet.*
Lance: *He walked past a group of kids holding glow sticks and shirts with the words 'Sceldrant's Comet' on them.* (The store's closed a little early tonight-)
Guy: "Yeah! I'm Sceldrant's Comet!" *He spun in circles pretending to be a plane.*
Lance: *He let himself into the store through the back door and walked into the break room to find everyone in multiple conversations.* "Wow, everyone's lookin' all fancy, it feels like we're going out or somethin'."
Tyler: *He turned around and stared at Lance in disgust.* "You're so immature, Lance."
Lance: "You're like, so immature, Lance." *He pretended to be an idiot, mimicking Tyler in a condescending-like manner.*
Tyler: *He rolled his eyes and scratched several pimples on his face.* "Idiots say what."
Lance: "Wat did you say, your highness?!" *Sweat dripped off his face and on to the floor.*
Tyler: "Eww, is that what someone looks like if they don't have their driver's licence?" *He raised his nose and stormed out of the room.*
Lance: "I need to find the right drivin' school!" *He yelled out, as he watched Tyler walk away.*
Rachael: *She snickered.* "So anyway, how have you been, Lance?" *She walked up to him.* "I haven't worked with you in ages."
Lance: "I'm off the floor, gettin' trained up to be your boss." *He poked out his tongue.*
Rachael: *She rolled her eyes and silently left the room.* (I don't know what Ashton sees in that fool.) *She grunted, as she climbed up a ladder to the roof.*
Twortz: *She left the manager's office and walked past the break room, noticing Lance.* "Oh, Lance!" *She sounded surprised.* "Too bad you weren't able to make it today."
Lance: "O-Oh hello, yea.." *He nervously chuckled and looked to each side.*
&nb
sp; *Melinda slid down the ladder and rushed into the room.*
Twortz: *She faced Melinda with urgency.* "What's the rush, Melinda?"
Melinda: "Come quick, guys! Mum said it will happen in ten minutes!" *She jumped up and down on the spot in excitement.*
Twortz: "Ten minutes?" *She sounded excited, while keeping a professional-like expression.*
Melinda: "I will see you both up there." *She turned off her phone and ran out of their sight.*
Twortz: "We'll begin the management induction once all this comes to pass, understood?"
