(A 7-PART SERIES) A story about Cori and Fenton, and their journey of discovery.
In the base, Cori is trying to decipher a message that arrived to her.
CORI: Ugh. What does this mean?
Fenton walks in.
FENTON: Hey, Cori.
CORI: Oh! Hey, Fenton. I'm just trying to decipher this weird message that came to me. Think you can figure this out?
Fenton hops up and reads it.
FENTON: I don't know either.
CORI: *sigh*
FENTON: You good?
CORI: I... don't know.
FENTON: Well, you did seem a little distressed, so that's a clear sign.
CORI: It's not that. It's...
Cori leaves and sits in another room and begins to tear up. Fenton peeks around the door.
FENTON: Cori, you OK?
CORI: No, I'm not! I don't know what my future could be for me and you.
FENTON: Cori...What brought this on?
CORI: I noticed that my mental state was changing because this philosophy came over me.
Fenton goes to sit down next to Cori.
FENTON: Well, let me help you feel a little better.
Fenton then hugs Cori and she blushes.
CORI: Haah... Haah... Thanks.
FENTON: Anything to help a fellow comrade!
CORI: *tiny laugh* That's one way to think about it!
FENTON: Really though, is this still on your mind?
CORI: Yeah. Why do you ask?
FENTON: I know a place that can help you out.
CORI: Wait, you KNOW a place?! Why didn't you tell me?
FENTON: Because I didn't know you had this on your mind! HONEST!
CORI: True. So what is this place you are talking about?
FENTON: I don't want to say it because I want the beauty of it to surprise you.
CORI: Wow, OK!
FENTON: We should probably get going. It's a long, long journey there.
CORI: Well, how long is it?
FENTON: About 17 hours.
CORI: 17 HOURS?!
FENTON: Yeah. What about it?
CORI: That's quite a while, isn't it?
FENTON: Yup.
CORI: If it'sin the name of my mental state, let's do it!
The two then exit the base and begin their journey.
