*Chip sits alone at his table. Most of the other kindergarteners haven't been sitting by him ... at least until June and Lilly walk towards his table. *
Chip: hi.
June and Lilly: hi
Chip: Lilly ... ∆lice really fixed your shoulder.
Lilly: It hurt.
Chip: what?
Lilly: She hurt my shoulder. It still hurts right now.
Chip: It was probably an accident.
Lilly: She smiled when I screamed. She ... she did it on purpose.
Chip: Maybe that's one of her pranks. Zip does things like that all the time.
Lilly: That doesn't make it okay.
Chip: oh ...
Well, would you two to go to the pool and sail?
Lilly: NO! *Compass and the other kindergarteners look at Lilly. * Sorry! *She starts whispering. * Zip nearly drowned me. Why would I want to go back there?
Chip: Its just -
Lilly: Prank? Those pranks hurt. I don't like being hurt. Why can't you see that?
Chip: I ... okay. You don't have to go. June?
June: ... I think I'll stay with Lilly. Have fun Chip.
Chip: ... bye.
*Chip walks towards Mister Compass. *
Can I go to the pool? My sister is there.
Mister Compass: Fine. Just don't take to long to come back after the bell rings.
*Chip walks to the pool. Zip, Oliver/K and Edward are there, just like last time. Cubbie is sitting on the bleachers and ... a stop sign. *
Connor: Did you bring me to the pool to spite me?
Oliver/K: What? No, I -
Connor: You know I can't swim.
Oliver/K: Then we can learn how.
Connor: No. I Can't swim. I physically cannot. If I fall in the pool, I can't swim back up.
Oliver/K: Then consider this a payback for how uncomfortable you made me all those times.
Connor: ... I -
Oliver/K: I know you said sorry. That doesn't mean I'm just going to forget all of the things you said.
Chip: ZIIP!
Zip: huh. Oh, hey Chip. Ready to sail?
Chip: Yeah.
*Chip and Zip get onto their pirate ship and sail on the pool. *
Zip: ...
...
Why have you been so silent?
Chip: I'm just thinking about Lilly.
Zip: The sheep? Why?
Chip: ∆lice fixed her shoulder but ... Lilly said it hurt and that ∆lice laughed.
Zip: *Heh* *hahah* I would've liked to see that.
Chip: ... why?
Zip: What do you mean "why"? It's a prank, it was probably funny.
Chip: ... I don't know. When Lilly was at our house, I didn't find it funny.
Zip: You'll see how funny it is when you're my age. Speaking of the sheep, why isn't she here?
Chip: Lilly didn't want to go to the pool. She was upset.
Zip: Eh. Most of those fools get upset. She'll get over it.
Chip: ...
...
Zip?
Zip: hu-
Chip: can you not prank Lilly?
Zip: WHAT! Why?
Chip: ... I don't want her to be scared. Or June.
Zip: Why do you even care?
Chip: ... They ... I don't know.
*As Zip and Chip sail, Cubbie walks down from the bleachers and approaches Oliver/K. *
Oliver/K: Didn't I say not to bother us?
Cubbie (On notecard): I'm not going to intrude. I just wanted to talk. I wanted to know why you k*lled Kevin and Bubble. That's all.
Oliver/K: ... Can't say.
*Cubbie starts to write something down but erases it and starts over. *
Cubbie (On notecard): I'd like to ask, did we do something wrong?
Oliver/K: You're in my line of sight.
Cubbie (On notecard): I meant, what did we do to you. What did we do that made you want to hurt us, k*ll Claire, Kevin, and Bubble?
Oliver/K: You wouldn't get it.
Cubbie (On notecard): You have nothing to lose. I already hate you. There's nothing you could say that'd make me hate you more.
Oliver/K: Strong words. I guess I can say. Just don't tell anyone ... except Engel I guess, but he already knows.
...
I don't really care about you or the others. All of these pranks ... it's just to spite Claire and Engel.
...
Engel didn't really do anything ... but Claire? ... ... I ... I don't really want to say. ... but she deserved to d*e. That's all you need to know.
Cubbie (On notecard): I don't understand how hurting us helps you hurt Claire and Engel.
Oliver/K: Because they would've never wanted this. Claire wouldn't have wanted others to be hurt because of her. Engel's probably bawling knowing he couldn't save them. It's the perfect annihilation of what they care about.
Also, it's just fun seeing you weirdos get hurt.
*Cubbie hands Oliver/K a notecard and leaves before they can respond.
The Notecard Says:
"I approached you because I wanted to understand you. Now that I do, I realize that any hope of trying to communicate with you is no longer an option.
Oliver/K!
When you sit on your deathbed, you will have nothing to show for it." *
Oliver/K: *haha* That's the best he can do? I could've written better in my sleep. *Oliver/K tears the notecard into pieces. *
