He couldn't really think of anything to say--he was still trying to process what he had just seen. "I gotta see what happens!" Nevrippa yelled. As the credits finally ended, there was another fade to black, and the scene then faded into two kids hiding under a car in a parking garage--the fat kid and the nerd. They were silent as they watched a big car drive into a car elevator. The doors closed, and from the cracks on the side of the elevator, it was apparent that the elevator was going up. "See, I told ya!" the fat kid said. "It goes up! But there's nothing UP! There's just a roof up there!" "I see what you mean." the nerd said. "So you wanna do it?" "Do what?" "Find out where they're going!" "Definitely--but how?" "Well--listen, here's my plan. If we hide behind that dumpster, then we could crawl in after they go into it, and they wouldn't see us!" "I don't know--I don't want to get into trouble." "What could happen! We're minors for god's sake! We can't go to jail or anything." "Yeah, I guess." "Listen--I hear a car coming up from down there--let's get over there." "Well..." "Come on!" The fat kid and the nerd ran across the garage and hid behind a dumpster. Soon, a car came and stopped in front of the elevator door. After about ten seconds, the door opened up, and the car drove in. "It's now or never!" the fat kid said, and the two crawled into the elevator, behind the car. Slowly, the doors closed, and the two kids were in the stark light of the elevator. With a lurch, it began to move upward. And it kept on going. "This is ridiculous!" the nerd whispered loudly. "Where the hell are we going?" "That's what I wanna find out!" They continued upward, and the two exchanged worried glances. Finally, the elevator slowed and lurched to a halt. A sign came into view as the elevator doors on the other side began to open, reading "THE UPPER CITY". As the doors opened fully, a bright scene was revealed--a gorgeous place and a gorgeous day. "Whoah!" the fat kid exclaimed. The nerd smiled broadly. V was shocked as the TV switched back to static and snow. Nevrippa had stopped the tape and was taking it out. "Oh--it's just you." V said. "See--you were getting involved in it!", Nevrippa said, taking the tape out and putting it back in its case. "It's good, isn't it? And the coolest part is--where the hell is it coming from, you know? Like, no one ever made it, but here it is!" "Pretty scary." "Yeah. Now I want all these videos in the truck." "Huh?" V exclaimed in surprise. "Yup. All of them. We'll make a fortune, you and I." V sighed in protest, but figured he'd have to do it. Nevrippa laughed--V looked so funny, sighing in protest with this huge transparent cube surrounding the upper part of his body. "Come on, silly." Nevrippa said enthusiastically. And they began loading all the videos into the truck. -------> ------------------- ----------- -------- -- -----
