They began to walk through the park as cold chills passed through them from the December weather. There were a few traces of snow on the ground, but most of the snow was caught in the branches of trees, laying on them like a white fluffy blanket. There was a clear blue sky over head, but some wind gusts did pass through Central park. There were very few people around in the Park, mostly couples enjoying the scenery or quiet atmosphere.
The team then made their way to a bench right under a tree, to wait for Private's uncle. "Okay, Nigel shall be here in three minutes", Kowalski said as they all sat down. Just then a gust of wind rattled the tree above them and a pile of snow fell on Private's head. "OH! COLD, COLD, COLD…", Private exclaimed as he began to pat his head to remove the snow, but only managed to accidentally drop snow down his vest. "Ahg, there's snow on my back!" The three other men began to try to assist Private, and he could have sworn he heard Skipper mutter, "Stupid mother nature…"
Kowalski dug his hands in his lab coat to pull out a handkerchief and began to clean off some of the snow on Private's head and face. Once the snow melted or was cleaned off, Private began to shiver from the cold chill of the snow, sneezing a couple of times. Rico then sat closer to Private and put an arm over him, hoping the leather on his jacket would keep him warm. Private settled down and snuggled closer to Rico for warmth and gave him a small smile.
A few minutes later, a man with white slicked back hair and sideburns, wearing a black suit, approached them. "Hello there, boys!", the man said as he approached them.
"UNCLE NIGEL!", Private said as he jumped up and enveloped his uncle in a hug.
"Hello there, Private! Excited to see me aren't you?", Nigel says as he ruffles Private's hair.
"Yes uncle Nigel, so shall we be going now?"
"We shall, follow me everyone.", Nigel says as he walks away with Private in tow. Kowalski, Rico and Skipper follow them to a black sports car on the street. Nigel opens the door and says, "Go in, everyone." As they entered the car they saw on the inside: leather seats, charging ports, a small screen on the back of each seat and cup holders on the sided with windows. "Get comfortable boys, we won't be at my home in a while.", Nigel said as he got on the driver seat and started the car.
Rico turns on a mini T.V. in the car and begins clicking away at a few channels, trying to find something interesting. Kowalski takes out a book from inside his suitcase and reads quietly. Skipper begins to put on a sleeping mask and shift around to try to find a comfortable position to sleep in. Private just looks out the window as they pass tree after tree, car after car, building after building, before finally closing his eyes and falling into a light slumber.
(Private's Dream sequence) Crucial to the story- please read
A bird chirping sound fills the silence of an empty void.
His eyes open to find nothing, but himself in a desolate valley.
No one's there to echo the chirps.
Powerful blasts of fireworks erupt through the atmosphere.
Millions of birds take flight.
He's moving, not walking, but running.
More fireworks go off, but the celebration has turned menacing.
Balloons pop as he passes by, no one holding a needle in sight.
But someone was popping them.
It doesn't matter…
One last balloon appears for him to behold.
Before a man appears and takes the balloon in front of him.
It pops….
That did matter….
A sound is coming from the outside… BOOM!
(back in the real world)
Private wakes up startled as he tries to take in his surroundings. He looks around to see Skipper, Kowalski and Rico looking all around them in amazement, that's when he realizes they aren't in air anymore they are in water. "Private, do you see this. This car can turn into a submarine, isn't that cool?!", Kowalski exclaims as he puts his hands on the glass to further inspect their new underwater environment. "Sorry for disrupting your sleep, Lad, the noise you heard was the car entering the water.", Nigel said as he reached over from the driver's seat to pat Private's head. "You can go back to sleep… are you alright?"
Private then realized that he was crying from the bizarre dream and that there were now four pair of eyes on him. "Umm, yes. I'm fine.", Private said as he quickly wipe away his tear streaks from his cheeks. Skipper moved closer to him and draped an arm around him, pulling him close to himself, in an action of comfort. Private nuzzled into Skipper's chest and looked up to Skipper giving him a comforting smile, returning one himself, before going back to a dreamless sleep.
