DISCLAIMER:

1. I do not own StarKid or any of their songs, characters, or musicals. This story was written purely for the enjoyment of myself and other fans.

2. Most of the characters are portrayed to be a lot more obnoxious and sometimes grouchy than they are in real life. This was just to spice up the story, so please do not take offense to anything said or done.

3. I began writing this story right after Apocalyptour was announced, but I knew the entirety of the plot by the end, so it helped me tie up the loose ends.

The Starkids found themselves in the middle of the jungle. Brian looked at his friends. Joey was curled up in a ball on the ground, sniffling quietly. Jaime, Lauren, Meredith, and Julia all hugged each other tightly in a penguin-like huddle, giving moral support. All of the guys besides Joey and Brian were trying to figure out what to do as they leaned against the massive tree trunks that had crashed to the ground. Brian panicked when he realized that there was no sign of any people or animals anywhere. He rushed to join the others.

"What do we do now, guys?" moaned Joey, terrified. Brian was more confused.

"I don't know, buddy," said Joe. He seemed to be struggling to stay calm for everyone's sake, including his own. "We're going to have to just stick together and stay safe."

Lauren's dark brown eyes grew wider with concern than Brian had ever seen. She hugged Julia tighter.

"Walk," she said quietly. "Are we ever going to get out of here?"

"And where will we go after that?" Jaime piped up.

"Well, um," Joe stalled, trying to think of an answer.

"Like I thought," said Dylan, clearly frustrated. "We're stranded."

"Wait," said Brian, not able to contain his confusion anymore. "Can someone please explain to me what's going on?"

"Remember, Brian?" Meredith asked. "We just survived the apocalypse."

*****
"Wait," said Lauren. Brian snapped out of his imaginary predicament. "If it's an apocalypse, doesn't that mean that nobody survives?"

"Well, I suppose so," said Nick. Everyone turned and looked at Brian.

"It was just a dream!" he shouted, trying to defend himself.

"Okay," mumbled Lauren.

"Anyway, where was I?" Nick contined.
