Somewhere in another island, filled with digital things and everything in it is futuristic, all of the teenagers and adults alike are dressed, acted, thought and everything is the same. There is no real, live music or individuality and it was isolated from the world.
Miles away from the island, the now-sixteen year old Helena is awaken by another vivid dream. She is now wearing a lime green seashell bra with pearl and sea glass embellishments, a matching sash with a transluscent seafoam green skirt, pearl jewelry, bangles made out of oricalchum and a circlet made out of pearls, oricalchum and sea glass. She has longer hair but she still retains her bangs with a transluscent seafoam green veil that adorned her hair and her circlet. Stopping only long enough to take something from the patch of seaweed, she hurries to the surface.
The mermaid rose up from the waves and looked at the island woefully, knowing that her visions could mean catastrophe for this place. As she perched from a rock, she spotted something on the isle as she sat on a rock and watched a graduation celebration.
We sit alone and watch your light
Our only friend, through teenage nights
And everything we want to get
We download from the internet
No need to think, no need to feel
When only cyberspace is real
It makes us laugh
It makes us cry
It makes us feel like we can fly
(Globalsoft)
Hope to record our life online
Touch any key, the world is mine
We're lost in space
But we don't care
Without your light our world's not there
Complete control, you are the power
Our lives are programmed by the hour
Globalsoft (Globalsoft)
All we hear is radio Ga Ga
Video Goo Goo
Internet Ga Ga
All we hear is cyberspace Ga Ga
Marketing Blah Blah
Always something new
Globalsoft, all your world loves you
We watch our shows
We watch your stars
Across our screens for hours and hours
We hardly need our eyes or ears
We just log on and dreams appear
(Globalsoft)
We're not alone
We have our friends
On cyber love we can depend
So stick around cos we'd all miss you
We need our graphics
Need our visual
Complete control, you are the power
We use our lives up by the hour

After the song, they are now waiting for the announcements and the teacher stood up.
"Students of Virtual High, school's out." A teacher announced "Get out there and have some fun!"
"Hurrah! Hurrah!" Everybody cheered as they run about happily.
The rest left the place, all except for one teacher, who noticed Galileo, the boy whom Helena saw as a child. He was having stuttering problems and he would have would have dreams about her, rising from the waves and pleased with him to leave the island behind and be free.
"Hey mate, go out and celebrate! School's finished." She said. "Your life is just beginning!"
"G-g-good!" He stuttered. "The s-s-sooner it begins the s-s-sooner it's over with."
"Oh, come on, mate! You have so much potential." She said. "You could get a job in any division of Globalsoft you choose, yeah? How about - music programming!"
"I don't want to programme music. I want to make music, real music, my own music!" He complained.
"Hey mate! Cool it! Now listen, www/Gordon ." She reasoned with him.
"My name is Galileo Figaro." He nodded.
"No, nobody is called Galileo Figaro." She scolded. "Where on Mall Island did you come up with that?"
"I found it. In a dream. I have these dreams, see….and I hear noises. Screeching, thudding, b-b-banging noises….and words. Words just drop into my head. Too many words. Help - I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody!" He panicked.
"I understand. I feel your pain. But come on, mate! You live in a perfect world. What more could you possibly want?" She tried to reason again.
Without a doubt, he starts to sing, while the teacher walked away, shaking her head.
I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self-satisfied, I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
In love with a world that's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love
It's strange but it's true
I know I'm different and there's some things I have to do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby
Oh yeah, I've got to be free
Oh yeah, I want to break free
This existence is wrong
I can't get used to living without, living without
Living without hope, it's a lie
I don't want to live alone
God knows, I've got to make it on my own
So people can't you see
God knows I've got to
God knows I need to
God knows I want to break free
Suddenly, a group of the same pirates that threw the old man from the cliff arrived with the man leading him. Helena was shocked by this spectacle.
"You say this boy wants to make his own music?" The man asked her.
"Yes. The little freak says he hears it in his dreams." The teacher answered.
"And he is aware that music other than that programmed by the Globalsoft Corporation is illegal? The act of an individual?" He asked again.
"Of course - but he doesn't care." She responded again.
"Has he ever tried to make a musical instrument?" He asked the third time."
"Once, in technicial studies." She said. "He was caught trying to stretch plastic string across an empty lunchbox."
"Did he….pluck it?" He asked her.
"Yes, but claims he didn't know why."
"I think I shall have to talk to this boy." He growled as he walks close to him.
Galileo proceeds to fight by stealing a sword and he started to fight them. He was barely good with it but the pirate is a professional in using them. The fight kept on to the pier until they were both knocked out. They both sank to the waters and a crocodile joined in the fight. It ate the pirate but the beeping noise that was in his stomach, vibrated and he started lurking from the water. His presence caused great fear to all in Mall Island of the crocodile that if his beeping noise was heard, they have to run for their lives. The crocodile patted its stomach and ignored Galileo, who swam to the lagoon caves to hide. Helena noticed the crocodile and called him.
"Sniper, are you trying to harass those pirates there again?" Helena asked.
"Mmmrrrfff." He answered.
"Okay boy, did you eat something?" She asked him sternly.
The crocodile spat out a black fabric and Helena looked at it. She groaned when she found out what happened.
"Asha's gonna kill me for this if she found out you ate a pirate." She groaned. "Go back to her and don't harass other pirates again."
The crocodile, named Sniper obeyed her by leaving the sea and return to his home in the mangroves while Helena continued to watch.
"Goodbye - mate!" The teacher said as she looked at the water.
"Are there any other potential Bohemians in this year's graduation group, or is he the only one?" He asked her one more time.
"I'm sorry to have to report that there is one other. A repulsive creature - a girl." She said.
"I know who that is, the street rat." He huffed. "Been having problems with thieves and urchins these days."
After they left, a purple haired girl in a black tunic dress with a red sash, fishnets and black boots appeared with a drawstring bag and took out something. It was a piece of bread that she stole from a shop. She picked up a notebook that Galileo left and starts singing while eating the stolen goods. Helena watched from the rock with a smile, which she knew that she is a part of her precognition.
I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self-satisfied, I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free
After she ate, she saw five girls in colorful clothes, hair and are talking, chatting and gossiping walked by the pier and spotted her with sneers. Helena was disgusted by the girls and swam close to the pier to get a closer look.
"Check out the weirdo, girls!" The girl in purple sneered.
"Don't your mum download you anything decent to wear?" The one in yellow huffed.
"I make my own fashion statements!" The purple haired girl nodded as she ignores them.
"What's today's statement, then? 'Hello, I'm a pathetic ugly little zero?'" The one in purple snickered again.
"How will you ever get with one of the boys from the boyzone dressed up like some sort of freak?" The one in pink said with a disgust.
"You're a disgrace to the GaGa girls!" A girl in green sneered.
"I ain't no GaGa girl! And I'm not interested in the kind of boys-r-us, duh-brain zone-clones you hang out with!" The goth girl yelled.
"You are such a sad loner!" The girl in pink sneered again.
"Well, you sure are right about that - bitch!" The girl answered back
"Oooh!" The girls chorused.
"Can anybody find me somebody to love?" She whispered.
The girls just laughed at her but Helena was so angry when she sees this scene that she want to throw a sea urchin or a crab at them, but instead, she created a bubble of water with her powers. She made it bigger and bigger and bigger and set it above the girls' heads. The purple haired goth girl sang while the sea creatures popped out and accompanied her.
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet (take a look at yourself)
Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry)
Lord, what you doing to me
I spent all my years to believe in you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord
Somebody (somebody), ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love
"Somebody to love you? Yeah, right!" The girl in pink nodded.
"Hello! That is SO not going to happen." The girl in blue snickered.
"Stop daydreaming and get a virtual life!" The girl in purple growled.
In a flash. Helena snapped her finger and the water bubble dropped on the girls, causing them all to get wet. They all cried over their wet clothes and their smudged makeup that Helena drenched them with saltwater while she snickered. Scaramouche left with a smile as she walked through the beach alone while she sang, but Helena was following her with the sea creatures.
I work hard (she works hard)
Every day of my life
I work till I ache in my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my broken heart all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray (praise the lord)
Till the tears run down from my eyes (oooh)
Oh somebody (somebody), ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love
Everyday (everyday)
I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of water on my brain
I got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah!
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (You just keep losing and losing!)
I'm OK, I'm all right (she's ok - she's all right)
And I ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell (prison cell)
One day I'm gonna be free, Lord!
(Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love)
Find me, find me oh...
(somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
Somebody find me somebody to love)
Can anybody find me somebody to love
Somebody to love!
The same pirates that confront Galileo and arrested the old man appeared behind her.
"How very touching, young lady." The leading pirate said. "But surely you understand that the company loves you. Arrest her."
The same pirates tried to capture her but she took out a dagger, kicked them off the water and stole a sword too but she is barely good with using it that she and the pirates fell into the sea, only for the crocodile to enter. The beeping noise caused the pirates to flee but the pirates swam to the shore. This caused the crocodile to swim away and the goth girl was suddenly dragged underwater by Helena, who shoved something into her mouth and swam away with her.
