The Ultimate Question

*Vibes is in bed*

Vibes: Ugh...

*She looks in the mirror... and sees herself in animal form*

Vibes: What the...?

Vibes: where.....wait this....this is my flat from animal kingdom

*Vibes looks on the wall, seeing photos of herself with her parents, Sal and an animal version of Mark*

Vibes: No...this...this can't be real!

Vibes: *bolts to a window*

*She looks out to see the world around her, seeing all the anthro people around her*

Vibes: What the heck?

Vibes: but....how?

*the buzzer goes off*

*Vibes looks round*

Vibes: W...What's that?

Vibes: oh right. Staticky doorbell

*Vibes opens the door*

Mark: morning veronica

*Vibes looks baffled*

Vibes: Mark? Why are you...?

Mark: What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!

Vibes: I'm not so sure I haven't...

Mark: well come on. your folks have seats at the pancake house

*Vibes looks up at the pictures, seeing them with her parents*

Mark: V...? What's wrong?

Vibes: My parents...they...they're here?

Mark: Well no they're going to be waiting for us.

Vibes: erm....let's get going then.

Mark: *sighs* i know you like it but you gotta lay off the late night cadbury binges

*Vibes laughs awkwardly*

Vibes: Err...yeah...sure...

Vibes (thought): This isn't real...it can't be...

*the 2 walk off*

Vibes's mom: *hugs vibes* morning dear. oh my your shaking. are you feeling under the weather?

*Vibes struggles to speak*

Vibes: You...you're...not dead...

Mark: oh that nightmare again? you sure you don't need to talk to someone about it?

Vibes's mother: i'm sure i can get you in to see someone

*as they place their orders vibes sees van walk in and see her*

Van: *walks up* uhm. excuse me. i hate to interrupt but i need to speak to vibes for a moment

*Mark looks at him hesitantly*

Mark: OK...sure...

Vibes: it's fine. we're uh....co-workers *walks outside with Van*

Van: You know don't you. that none of this is right?

*Vibes nods*

Vibes: I...I know I should be happy. But...this can't be real...it just can't.

Van: it's real. i can definitley tell that but.....anyway. it seems your the only other one able to tell what came before this morning.

Vibes: so....the planet never went boom....

Van: almost nothing bad in our pasts has occurred. your parent's deaths, sally's mother issues, Dante was arrested before megafox could even be thought up. the list goes on.

*Vibes suddenly realises*

Vibes: So...that was why Mark called me Veronica.

Mark: You never got blimped, all that trauma never happened.

Van: i don't like this vibes. i'm gonna look into this.

*Vibes nodded*

Vibes: It's like...a whole other life.
