At Rita’s. They are all holding red punch, they click their glasses and drink. Bradley puts his drink down and sighs in relief.

‘’Man, what a night. All of this happened from 9 pm to 12 am ey?’’ He says.

Shaun drinks some more, ‘’Yep. I wonder what we are gonna do tomorrow.’’

Steve chuckles, ‘’I think I you guys need to teach me how to respawn. And we also need to defeat some villains.’’

John nods his head, ‘’Exactly. I don’t know why no one is panicking about Abel being on the loose. Stan really is the CEO now.’’

‘’Damn. He really did?’’ Shaun asks, shocked.

‘’Yep. Rita just switched off the TV to buy her Spotify subscription.’’ Paul answers, chuckling.

They all laugh as they drink.

Rita is resting on the counter with Rosie. ‘’Wow, look at all your friends. Resting at midnight.’’ Rosie says, tired.

Rita scoffs, ‘’I’m gonna close the shop soon and take their asses out. By the way, Roo. How is Matthew?’’

‘’Aw, he’s a sweetie. But he also made an acronym for me called Right Operating System Inside Ears.’’

Rita shocks on her punch and laughs, ‘’Excuse me what?’’

Rosie responds, laughing as well, ‘’I know. But he’s a fine guy. We are gonna be there at the ballroom for Prom soon. It’s been a year.’’

Rita sighs, ‘’Yeah it has.’’

On the balcony, John comes out from the bathroom, drinking punch. He stands there, talking to Lil Bot who is also drinking punch.

‘’Isn’t it nice, Lil Bot to finally relax as a G.A.E study group?’’ John says, drinking punch.

‘’I’m just gonna end myself.’’ Lil Bot pours all the wine on his robotic body, he starts glitching and electricity passes around him. He then resets, a bit wet and burnt.

‘’Great. It failed. I’ve gone somewhere else. I’m human-intolerant.’’ Lil Bot says as he passes by.

 Outside. He then breaks the window and flies down with his robotic wings. He lands on the cold ground. He finds Professor Abel passing by. Wet. He is holding a large hamburger.

‘’Hey, Abel!’’ Lil Bot shouts to him.

Abel turns around and gasps, ‘’What?’’

‘’Remember me?’’ Lil Bot asks.

‘’I was the mysterious figure who saw you in the alleyway. I wanted to team up.’’ Lil Bot continues.

Yes, he was the one from the prologue.

Abel is shocked, ‘’You’re a robot. I love robots. What do you have?’ Abel asks.

‘’Steve Watson’s location.’’ Lil Bot answers, deep and threatening.

Back at Rita’s, they are all drinking punch and relaxing. The news plays on the TV. The sound scaring them, sounding like it came to life when it’s just on the screen.

Sharon is reporting, ‘’Welcome back to Cointropolis News. New day, as it’s midnight. We are here to broadcast you footage of Static Stan being an ass.’’

The news stops. At the studio, Stan emerges, angry and fuming.

‘’Sharon! You are ruining it. It’s important announcement. The news should sound important and threatening, not a rehearsed Saturday Night Live sketch!’’

Stan shouts, his head buzzing with electricity.

Sharon shouts at Stan, ‘’I’m stressed, Stan! I’ve had a bad day with your useless bogging. I want to sleep! I don’t want any punishments’’

SHARON

AGE: 28

POWERS: MICROPHONE POWERS

WEAKNESSES: EASILY MANIPULATED.

Stan then starts sitting on the table, being flirty and speaking in a deep tone, ‘’Yeah, it’s because. I thought about losing some steam. You know, some good punishments.’’

Sharon rolls her eyes, ‘’I’m bored, Stan.’’

Stan is shocked, ‘’Bored? Do you know how much I’m worth lady? Do you know how much people want to hook up with the handsome me?!’’

Sharon smirks, ‘’I know, I’m your favorite employee. But I want a different role. I want to join the enemy’s group.’’

Stan smirks, ‘’Request Accepted. Only if you say the news right.’’

Sharon touches Stan’s arms, ‘’You know me too well.’’

The news starts live. Although it’s weird. Sharon has more energy than usual. She grabs her microphone and announces, facing the camera.

‘’Welcome back to Cointropolis news. There was an interruption earlier, you know some ad buyers. Breaking News: Abel is starting to cause havoc in Cointropolis. Gamers should be aware and fight each enemy he gives. He might steal the diamonds of egress and destroy them. On the good news: Static Stan is here to save you.’’

She says in a sexy tone. The news ends. Abruptly. And quickly.

Outside Rita’s, Abel and Lil Bot are watching on the screens and are shocked.

‘’No, I’m not causing havoc. I want to be a hero like the gamers. Where’s Stan’s source?!’’

Suddenly large electricity passes through the tone. Stan appears, large, buzzing and dangerous.

‘’My source is that I made it up.’’ Stan says.

He then pulls out a large ‘’RESPAWN’’ diamond. It sparkles.

Lil Bot gasps, ‘’Is that for Steve?’’

Stan just smirks, his eyes hypnotic.

‘’The Show Goes On, folks.’’
