CHAPTER 13: LAY DOWN YOUR SOULS TO THE GODS ROCK & ROLL

[Track 1]

Sam's powers send Rei through the wall, making him hit his head so hard, it triggers a flashback

2003, Rei's first year of college

JOAN: You sure you won't come?

MER: No, Joan. I'm not a drunkard. Now, out.

Later, Joan & Rei are at her dorm with Mer

JOAN: Mer, I know Rei's sooo hot but... I gotta warn you, girl. He's a total danger zone!

REI: That's a lie! A big fat LIE!

JOAN: What about the Ruby incident?

REI: The lights were off!

JOAN: And the Betty incident?

REI: That... She said yes, OK?!

Later, Rei & Mer are hanging out, k?

MER: I know Joan was lying

REI: Really?

MER: Yeah, you're too stupid to even get near a girl.

Rei is woken up from his awesome flashback by walking noises

MER: So, as i was saying. Sam's got some cool power. And that's why you're never beating him and you should give her up

KATH: What?!

REI: How did you know!?

MER: Yeah, I've been with Sam since 11

KATH: So... he cheated on you with me?

MER: Don't be silly

KATH: I wasn't trying-

MER: Shut up. I know what you're trying to and it's not gonna work EVER. You're done, Rei. Forever & Ever

Rei is so ANGERED!

REI: You dick! You corrupted her

Rei tries to kick Sam but he dodges and sends Rei flying upwards and landing in floor

KATH: I think you need to need to think something up

REI: Krazy...

Again with the flashbacks!

Months after last flashback, Band practice with Reiko & Mark's reactions

MARK: You guys... are crazy?

REIKO: They're like... musicians?

After band practice

REI: See you later?

MER: No, see YOU later

Later,

JOAN: Are you dating Mer?

REI: What?! What even would even make you think that!

JOAN: Really?

REI: Well... i guess i do...

Rei snaps back to reality and gets up

REI: Y'know, i don't really like your attitude, mister!

SAM: Say that to the water, trash boat

REI: Huh?

SAM: Because you're gonna die by tonight

REI: Isn't it already night?

SAM: Oh, yeah... I guess you live another day, Pilgrim

REI: Pilgrim?

SAM: Uh... because, you're gonna go on pilgrimage when i beat your ass?

REI: What's a pil-?

Sam punches Rei, triggering yet another flashback

More months after the last flashback, Rei's in Mer's dorm

REI: Woah, what happened to all your crazy things?

MER: Sold it. Brought myself these Boots.

Rei snaps back to reality when her hears

HALL: This gonna take all month. And, it's already 3 AM

MER: Already thought of that. Go home, eat and meet us at 1 PM

REI: Where?

MER: Honest Bob's

REI: Why there?

MER: Oh, Rei. Don't you know? Third time's the charm

MARK: Really! And i need you Kath to keep him till tomorrow

REI: What?! No!-

KATH: Fine by me

And so Kath takes Rei out and through a convenient little door with the same symbol as the one in the blood storm

REI: Are you ever gonna explain why that door can teleport us around?

KATH: It's an LA thing

And so, they arrive at her home and sleep. The next day, Rei wakes and goes home while it's raining
