Chapter 3-Not The Same. (Incrediblesfan1, I can do your request over the course of this story.)
Later that night, on a deserted island far off the coast, someone picked a coconut out of a tree, but seeing as there were no rocks around, he punched it harshly, only getting a couple of bloody knuckles. He teared up a bit before he hit it against the side of a building, cracking it open enough to drink the milk out of it. He retched at the taste of it before he threw it away and grabbed an apple he had picked out of a batch of fruit and bit it before he really teared up.
"This is sour! Yuck!" the boy said before he threw the apple away and sighed as he walked through the jungle and back to the building he had hit the coconut on and walked through an open door to a room that had something in it resembling a bed. The boy sighed before he stepped into a faint light, revealing that he was Dash. Dash climbed onto the bedlike table before he looked at a picture of him and his family, including Mirage, Voyd, and Frozone.
"This feels like a safe place, but my heart says it's a jail. But, I don't even know if I want to go back home, despite how I feel." Dash said before he jumped off the bed and looked at it.

Dash: A bed is a bed, no matter where you go.
Back at the Parr house, Helen was making Dash's bed, even though he was absent.
Helen: A pillow is a pillow, that's what I say.
Dash looked around the room he was staying in.
Dash: A room is a room, this is surely so.
Bob was setting the table for dinner, skipping over where Dash used to sit.
Bob: And seats should be seats either way.
Dash then felt tears coming to his eyes as he looked at the picture again.
Dash: But this room is not a home! This is not the bed I know!
The Parr Family looked at a picture of Dash with tears brimming in their eyes.
Violet: We would trade it all away, if you'd come back to stay!
Though they were miles apart, the Parr Family sung in perfect harmony.
Parr Family: This family's not the same without you!
Bob, Helen, and Violet: It's Just An Empty Space!
Dash: Just An Empty Space!
Parr Family: Without you…
Of course, the Parrs weren't the only ones missing Dash. Mirage and Voyd were having the same problems. The two of them sat in Mirage's kitchen as she baked cookies to try to cheer them up. Meanwhile, guilt was starting to take its toll on Dash as he walked through the hallways.
Dash: I broke several hearts, this for sure I know.
Mirage and Voyd looked sad.
Mirage: He is surely missed, that's what I say.
The cookies began to burn, which they took notice of sadly. Back on the Island, Dash neared the door.
Dash: But, now, I don't know what I want to do.
Mirage took the burnt cookies to the trash can while Voyd opened it with tears brimming in their eyes.
Voyd: We should be family, either way.
Dash walked out the door, tears close to falling.
Dash: But this base is not enough! It is not my true home!
Mirage and Voyd walked out Mirage's front door with tears also brimming in their eyes.
Mirage and Voyd: We'll give it all up, if you'll come back to stay!
They walked down the sidewalk, feeling the sense that the Parrs were also outside their own house.
Dash, Mirage, and Voyd: This family's not the same without you!
Mirage and Voyd: It's Just An Empty Space!
Dash: Just An Empty Space!
Dash, Mirage, and Voyd: Without you…
Mirage and Voyd saw the Parr Family standing outside their house. They walked over as they took notice of them and put their arms on each other's shoulders as they looked at the moon with tears pouring out of their eyes, as does Dash.
Dash: But this island's not enough! It is not where I belong!
Bob, Helen, Violet, Mirage, and Voyd: We would trade it all away, if you'd come back to stay!
All: This family's not the same without you!
They looked at the night sky and saw stars take the shape of each other, Dash's family for him, and Dash for everyone else. The stars then seemed to make an actual image of them reaching their hands out to each other as they sung.
Bob, Helen, Violet, Mirage, and Voyd: It's Just An Empty Space!
Dash: Just An Empty Space!
All: Without you...
The star images then faded away before the Parr Family fell to their knees, crying heavily, while Dash did the same.
