Katy is lying on her bed, eyes closed. A school uniform lays on the ground next to her. Rain hits the windows behind her, and lightning flashes in the distance. Suddenly a phone rings, and a girl runs in.
"Katy this is for YOU." she says.
"Thanks Luna." says Katy and says, "Hello?" Into the phone.
"Hello!" says a voice. "This is Principal Larson. I'm here to remind you that school starts TOMORROW EXACTLY. You better be there, ma'am. Failing to do so will kick you out of the state for good. Let me remind you that you should be able to hand in the papers no later than today evening. Have a good day." The principal hangs up, and Katy returns the phone to Luna.
"Well?" she asks. "You aren't going to fill out the papers?"
"What papers?" asks Katy.
Show a large stack of papers on a desk, as a dramatic note plays on a violin.
"Fine. I'll fill them out." says Katy, accidentally knocking them off the desk and onto the floor. She groans. Luna grins, before walking out of the room, down the stairs, and to the living room, where everyone is sitting and watching a movie.
"Well?" asks the boy, Bill. Two other kids look up, while a girl stares at her phone.
"She's busy, so this should work out well." Luna smiles, and walks over to the cupboard. She then takes out two vials. One says, juice, while the other has a skull and crossbones on it. Everyone gasps, except for the phone girl.
"What- are you doing?" asks Bill.
Luna grins. "She died, guys, and from Wendell's visions, she's obviously got something to do with the other place, and...." she pauses. "it's clear that Wendell was doing us a favor by pushing her off that building. But she survived the first time, so he and to do it again. And he made sure she ended up here. So we have to do the rest, the boss stuff."
"Boss stuff?" A boy asks, snorting.
"Yeah, Leonard, BOSS STUFF. Which means, tomorrow, you know what class it is?"
"Oh, no." says Phone Girl, looking up. "It's.... the boat thing."
"Yeah." Luna grins. "This will be so easy. Just find out Katy's favorite favor of coke, and I'll do the rest."
Now, show a huge, three-story house. It's fancy, with impressive chandeliers and red-black striped wallpaper. There's a bunch of students in a huge library on the top level. Katy is pulling out a book, and Luna sneaks up on her.
"BOO!"
Katy screams and drops her book. "WHAT?" she asks, annoyed.
"We're doing a boat lesson on the lake today." says Luna. "I hope you have your swimsuit."
"I do." says Katy, before walking over to a couch with its back facing to huge, room-length windows. She opens her book and begins reading. Luna rolls her eyes, walking away.
Katy has a moment of silence before phone girl walks over to Katy, before actually putting her phone down, and sits down next to Katy.
"Hello," she says.
"Um." says Katy. "Who are you?"
"I'm Gussy, and you need to know something about your roommate, Luna." says Gussy.
"Yeah?" asks Katy, giving her a weird glance.
"Don't drink what she gives you. Be careful around her." Gussy walks away. Katy stares after her, before saying, "Weirdo."

Later, now, it's a huge lake, with a lot of students on a few big wooden rafts, floating in the middle of the lake.
A teacher stands in front of them, saying, "This is an easy test. Dive down, and you have to get as many of the coins as you can. The losers have to clean the octopus."
"What octopus?" someone asks.
"The DIRTY ONE." says the teacher menacingly. Everyone gasps.
"GO!"
A student from each raft jumps into the water, before coming up a few minutes later with either a couple coins, or none at all.
"GO," Luna pushes Katy forward, and she glares at her, before jumping into the water. The frame slowly spins, before the water becomes the sky, and Katy screams.
Now, Luna and the others stare at the surface of the lake.
Nothing.
"Yessss!" whispers Luna happily, an the group shares a high-five.
