Soos was working around the shack as usual. Stan walked up to him looking nervous, "Soos," Stan said, "I know this seems extremely out of character for me of all people to say but, I appreciate that you're always helping out around the shack and um…" Stan took a deep breath and continued, "I've always seen you like a son rather then an employee, so I want you to have these," and out of his pocket Stan pulled out… his spare keys to the shack. Dipper and Mabel appeared out of nowhere and gave him a hug. Wendy started chanting, "Soos, Soos, Soos, Soos…" Everyone in the shack cheered along. Confetti was thrown into the air and someone let loose a ton of balloons. Soos was so happy he started crying, this was the best moment of his life.
Than everything disappeared, the confetti turned to dust, the balloons popped and disintegrated as if the ground was acid. The ground was made out of sand and there wasn't a plant in sight. The air was unbearably cold as if you'd dunked your head into a bucket of ice water and went outside in December, but it wasn't the cold air that made Soos shiver. It was the vast, cold and barrenness of the land that frightened Soos to his very core. He yelled out into the emptiness hoping for even the smallest sign of life. Nobody answered. He ran yelling out the names of anyone he could think of. The only answer he got was his own eco. It had only been a few hours in this dark, cold land, but it felt like months before he heard a faint, laughing noise. He ran towards the noise hoping he would find something; anything even the smallest plant would give him immense joy. He didn't find a plant, or a person. He found a bright yellow triangle glimmering brighter than a sun. Light was Soos only thought and he ran towards the laughing triangle. He felt a falling sensation and then everything turned white.
