What do I do now?-Jon-Write?-Laria-Yeah and living, it looks like retirement but it's not, I have different lanes for my retirement,-Serio-So the compass turned to me, well since the future you know...They all say is an open reality,-Serio-Right, I am in that sea life too like Laria, not biased toward Laria but I like sea too, but not a house near the sea, I need 10 minutes walking to the sea so little away from the sea, in a farm,They all get surprised,-Serio-I have that on people, every time I speak they are surprised by me, but when I say farm not with animals, okay only Magica and oh dear holy Zeus of thunder, where is Magica?-Laria-Shit,Serio calls Tim [his manager]-Serio-Hey moneyger-[money manager] you have a key to my house,-Tim-Yeah is a little late now Serio,-Serio-Dear Tim, sorry for my late-night calling, I am feeling so bad not for you but for my little Magica, go and stay at my house tonight and tomorrow bring Magica to Ler beach,-Tim-Sure man, sure.-Serio-I have cameras in my house which can open on my smartphone,-Tim-Okay, getting dressed right now.Close the phone,-Jon-And I am the only geek here?They all said yes,-Serio-And to finish it, a field with corn,-Jon-Never I thought that for you, don't judge a book by its cover they say.

I got this,-Jon-I wanted to be a TV presented, with my show,-Leona-You still can?-Jon-Yeah, I can but don't know why I can't put myself to do it,-Serio-Interesting,-Leona-I like obviously wanted to be a painter, which I am going to, but an actor was my highest dream of what could I be,-Laria-Interesting,-Jon-Well a toast for the dreams, -he gives each one of them a can of soda,-Laria-This is tricky, if only if it could control another person for a day, full control. What would you make that person do?-Serio-To be realistic, too many things but the cherry on top would be killing the people I hate,They all look like he confessed to killing someone,-Serio-Come on, take the sarcasm with a bit of fun with the power you had gotten, high IQ always has sarcasm,-Jon-The way you said it, was like there is someone I wanna kill but jail stops me, not anymore, -tries to make an evil laugh,-Laria-Was better when we thought Serio wanted to kill, now the sound of your singing is in second place, your evil laughs have no competition,-Leona-I, to be honest, would make him my assistant like those rich people who have a person to do anything they ask,-Laria-How many movies do you see because I am sure they don't do anything,-Leona-I can control him, forgot?-Jon-For 24 hours would make him do crazy things, like driving fast, painting in the streets with him, and whatever but not things to make time in jail, still, in the end, he takes the blame,-Serio-Oh my childhood wasn't interesting and adventurous at all, Jon the geek.-Jon-Say what you want to say, everyone wants to do these things, -Laria-My turn, not to extreme but a bank robbery, and from that I and him too would be crazy rich, since he is 100% controlled he can be like a top-notch agent in skills,-Serio-Yes and robbing a bank is not too extreme my dear, my question now. What would you change from your life or yourself?Laria sees Serio and touches his hand but he only smiles,-Leona-Serio, we wanted youth, crazy not to be disappointing in what we are. I PASS,-Jon-Well, I would give myself more willpower, that's all.-Laria-I PASS but you Serio can't,-Serio-Not from myself but my life would change the place I live or change the place I used to live,-Jon-And we end it now,For a complete hour, everyone was silent,-Laria-Serio they're sleeping.-Serio-So much for the road trip,-Laria-You and I drink too much coffee that's why,-Serio-You sleep too, tomorrow or today will be fun,Time goes and Serio parks in a hotel parking,-Serio-Oh my dear children who slept, out. -scream when says out.-Laria-Five more minutes,-Serio-You even slept and say that, thank me now.-Jon, Leona, and Laria-Thank you Serio,They get inside to reception area,They are greeted by the receptionist,-Receptionist-Good morning, do you have any reservations?-Serio-No, please check for room availability with the seaside room, -Receptionist-Of course, one moment please,-Laria-I and Serio are in one room, why don't you two take one together?-Jon-Yeah, if you don't mind? -says to Leona,-Leona-Sure, it will be cheaper for me,-Receptionist-We have 2 twin and 2 kings rooms,-Jon-I and Leona are getting a twin,-Leona-Okay,He makes the paperwork and gives them the key, they go and get accommodated,-Laria-So what will we get?-Serio-Didn't want to say when he was here, but a King room.They get their key and go to their room,-Laria-So a farm?-Serio-So a chilling life?-Laria-So at the sea?-Serio-So at the beach?-Laria-So killing who you hate?-Serio-So robbing a bank to be crazy rich?-Laria-So how long are we doing this?-Serio-This King bedroom has a hot tube,-Laria-Right on point,They start kissing while going to the bathroom and have a nice morning,Later,-Laria-I think you need to sleep, going to see what Leona and Jon are up to because we didn't come here for anything, time to go to the sea, man.-Serio-Now I am not sleepy at all, the hot tube relaxed me.-Laria-I know what relaxed you, text Jon and go to the restaurant and order while I will go with Leona to buy bikinis, want anything?-Serio-Two black swim shorts for me and Jon, and two T-Shirts,Serio go with Jon to the restaurant and order,-Jon-I am hungry,-Serio-I know Jon, I know is known,They order breakfasts and Serio orders Orange juice,-Jon-What has happened my friend, why no cappuccino?-Serio-You know fresh fruit juices are good for the body, and I want the best for my body. -Jon-Well, still not accepting you're coffee addicted,-Serio-Ah Jon, still growing.

The world in which woman world, had led us, men, to believe that woman doesn't like looking the same as another woman, so as I said your fault, not mine, woman's world not men's world. So you kinda look 97% the same with those dresses, look beautiful kinda the same, and hear me while I explain not complain. Men don't care to look the same, but usually, girls do so how came both of you have 97% the same dress?-Jon-And to not be in that bad situation, the answer should be about woman world not include us, he only explained not complained.-Serio-The geek has spoken in a writer way,-Laria-So blaming us from what you think you know?-Leona-First time Serio was wrong,-Laria-Let's eat, then go to the beach,After finishing breakfast they go to the beach and Serio sees a table with a microphone on it, goes there to ask who has that. A girl came, her name is Jenna,-Jenna-Morning, how can I help you?-Serio-Can I rent the microphone for an hour?-Jenna-No you can't, I am a reporter and waiting for my crew.-Laria-Dear, what in the world are you looking for?-Serio-I want to make a test for my friend who likes having a TV Show, as he is now he probably never going to be so want to push some willpower to him. I give you 200 for an hour and if your crew come sooner take it at the moment,-Jenna-Deal, the money.Serio gives her the money,-Serio-Hey geek, this is your microphone, and now you're going to create your 1-hour show at the beach, and Leona is the person who you're interviewing,-Leona-Excuse me. what?-Serio-You are both weak in what you want, I will be the cameraman and Laria will see if we bother people which we don't care because,-Laria-We are strong people who don't care about people's thoughts,Serio takes his smartphone and starts filming,-Jon-This a joke right?-Jenna-He isn't kidding dude, be a man.-Laria-Come on Jon, what is your show about? You're in a morning at Ler Beach, seeing Ler sea. Create or bye, bye.-Jon-Okay, Hey everyone I am Jon, your presenter at Ler Sea Morning. Today we have our new contemporary painter Leona to tell a little for herself in this magnificent view, -gets excited,-Jenna-Slow down a little, check your breath and speak like talking to your friends and nobody watching you,-Leona-People are watching me now, what to say?-Serio-Tell about your art, and try to look good. I am testing the zoom lens,-Leona-I am Leona,-Jenna-They knows that now, he just introduced you.-Jon-Let's walk a little, do our morning walk.They start walking toward the sea to walk near.-Jon-So you paint what you listen to?-Leona-Well,-Laria-I see what you did dear, Leona this is an act so be yourself. This might be the easiest acting to do in your life,-Leona-Okay, this is my time to act. Ever happened to not see the video of a song and just listen, as every single song should. While hearing it you feel something. If you ever lived that thing the song speaks you understand it on a whole new level, and if not you try. But while listening to people dance, I too dance but I imagine what that song would look like. Most of the time is complicated, my friends compliment me even when is weird but isn't music at some point too? I start painting till the end of the song after a replayed a couple of times. Now is in my head that vision, music gave to me. Everyone in a moment of their life had that,-Jon-Well not me to be honest, I only dance to the music.-Serio-And now is time for LER SEA DANCE,Laria open's her phone and plays Daft Punk Get LuckyJenny was watching them and laughing while a group of people was surrounding them like they were doing a live show,-Serio-we don't care about anyone but Jon you have a crowd to entertain,-Leona-Okay, I did my interview,-Jon-No it has just started,He grabs her hand and starts dancing together,-Leona-How can we dance this?-Jon-Remember the college party when those dancers danced this?-Leona-Yeah just some professionals,-Jon-We can at least imitate, themLeona sees through his eyes and starts dancing duo,They get into the rhythm and lose the fear people will laugh at them, for a moment was just them while other people started dancing too. Serio leaves the smartphone steady on a desk to capture them and goes walking with Laria,-Laria-You know that smartphones can get stolen,-Serio-Well, I have a feeling Zeus is watching and will not let bad winds of life steal the precious memories we create.-Laria-Fine by me,Serio grabs her hand and looks into her eyes, -Laria-Oh my romantic partner, what now?-Serio-My goddess, you look so shiny today, that the sun isn't even hot in front of you,Serio grabs her by her waist, and pushes her into the sea,-Laria-Keep going,-Serio-I think this moment is unforgettable and you know why?-Laria-Why?Pushes her again toward the sea,-Serio-You're taking my breath away because you're hotShe laughs,-Serio-So why don't you cool down?Splash her with seawater and run into the sea, Laria sees that her dress is wet, so takes it off and chases Serio,-Serio-What?-Laria-1 for Serio, 0 for me because I didn't see that coming,-Serio-Well my goddess Aphrodite, I never lied that you're hot I just...Laria splashes him, and they start playing together while walking far away from the beach,Now they're swimming and just talking,-Laria-Well, should we head back?-Serio-Well we should, but check out the view,They see the sky and just observe,-Serio-You ever think life is a journey but not everybody lives theirs?-Laria-Well to be real, we live what we believe. If our normal daily life looks bad is because we make it worse, if we add a little fun it can look good. Sure why not be an adventure, still not everybody has the opportunities and the money to afford a real journey,-Serio-I finished listening to what we believe after that was just normal people dragging about their not-so-good life. If it isn't good, make it,-Laria-Well not all can do that,-Serio-We're born all with a normal brain, with a normal body. How everyone uses theirs is their ability, now let's head back before I get realistic and reality gets boring,They get back and see Leona and Jon laughing with each other while watching the recording on Serio's smartphone,-Leona-Why you left?-Serio-You created such an amazing thing without our help, why would we be there?-Laria-In Serio's way, he's saying is proud of you two,Jenna comes again,-Jenna-Can I get the recording?-Jon-No, that's ours,-Serio-Jon please don't speak. Why?-Jenna-My crew came and what saw enjoyed, we can broadcast it tomorrow morning as a new thing for letting people be what they want. In their case a presenter and an actress,-Serio-Sure,-Leona-Wait, we didn't say yes?-Serio-I made you do it, the recording is on my phone so I am the director. This is mine in a way, and as a good director I am, want people to know our two new upcoming presenters and actress,-Jenna-Listen to the director is the director cut.-Leona-You know what, why not?-Jon-Well, hell yeah.-Jenna-You might come to? -ask Serio and smiles,-Serio-I don't know,-Jenna-With you explaining, they might have a chance plus you get recognized too? -smiles,-Laria-No he is busy tomorrow and he doesn't like being on TV, do you?-Serio-No I don't like being on TV, thanks but this video is only for those two,-Jenna-You know, -leaves,Serio laughs and sees Laria,-Laria-What?-Serio-Nothing is just you being you, and I never get bored being with you,-Jon-Is time for me and Leona now to get to the sea, Are you coming?-Laria-I got to rest a little,-Serio-I will come later,They go to the sea while Laria and Serio go to the beach bar,-Serio-Sometimes I look at you and think, not a single girl has ever been jealous of me.-Laria-Misconception dear, just checked your agenda not blocking your way to be recognized,-Serio-I am sorry my goddess Aphrodite I am only human after all, can't see through.-Laria-You, seem in a good mood?-Serio-Why would I be bored, my blood moon?-Laria-In what meaning?-Serio-A blood moon can be a lot of things, like a total lunar eclipse or the end of the world. I like the poetic name,-Laria-Hahaha did you hit your head while coming here? Why would I be an end?-Serio-Since I do not care about the world surrounding me, only for myself. You're my end, take it however you want but you're the end of me. -sees her seriously while smiling,-Laria-Okay poetry time is gone, but swimming is not. -Serio-Go ahead, I am coming.She goes to the sea while Serio sees the sky,-Serio-Oh mighty Zeus, what do you think? Do I have hopes or not? Laria goes to the sea and sees Jon playing with Leona,-Laria-His methods are weird but on-point somehow, what a person he is,She looks at the sky and is getting to rain,-Laria-You Zeus, striking at the wrong time, but I will not warn them. Let them have their time,-Serio-I asked for answers not raining oh mighty Zeus,Someone gets in front of Serio and sees with a weird face,-Serio-So it is your tongue blocked or is you shocked to see a person seeing the sky and not going for a swim?-Jos-Sorry I am Jos, but were you talking with Zeus?-Serio-No I was asking him for some answers, but he gave me rain. Still, Zeus even if gave me rain mind his own business by not giving me what I want,Laria is coming and sees them talking,-Jos-I understand and I am sorry, it just looked weird to me,-Serio-Hahaha, funny thing. Tell this to ancient greeks,  -Jos-Okay bye man, and sorry.He leaves, but Serio sees Laria seeing him and smiling. He goes to her and lifts her, see her in the eyes, and slowly kisses her,-Laria-Am I, on your end?-Serio-Who knows? Jon and Leona come back,-Jon-And the couple who doesn't stop loving each other,Serio laughs,-Serio-Not stoping wanting each other,-Jon-Well it started raining, what should we do?-Serio-I will go to sleep, later will do something,-Laria-Sweet dreams little Serio,-Serio-Oh humor, beauty is your thing my goddess but you're a woman. -he leaves,-Leona-What does that mean? He left aging without explanation.Jon laughs,-Jon-Is not that he's wrong,-Leona-Okay two things happened today, once you became a presenter, and two you understood him while I did not,-Laria-Men's thinks only they are funny,-Leona-Really? That's why you understood him, only because you're a man.-Laria-Now see this since you're funny, go with your funny friend while I and Leona have some unfunny time,-Leona-Yeah,They leave,-Jon-I understand once, I say a single sentence, and wow.Meanwhile Leona and Laria,-Leona-Where are we going?-Laria-Just walking in the rain, without a lot of people.-Leona-So if we catch a cold, who cares?-Laria-Hahaha yeah, who cares? So how did the show thing go?-Leona-It was good, I don't know why or because Jon was there. I wasn't too shy and started acting like it was normal in front of them,-Laria-Jon?-Leona-What?-Laria-Nothing, -laughs,-Leona-Than we started dancing and danced a lot when you left too. It was amazing to be in front of those people still being calm and enjoying your time,-Laria-That's why people should not care what others think and live their own life,-Leona-One day I will be like you or like Serio, not caring at all about what others think,-Laria-That day you will be a strong woman, not a girl.-Leona-So you writing anything?-Laria-A book but will keep it secret for some time,-Leona-Okay,-Laria-Don't get upset, you're my friend. You will be one of the first to read it,-Leona-Writer's friend privileges, -both laugh,Jos and another boy came, and both had umbrellas,-Jos-Hi if you want, you can walk in our umbrellas till that restaurant,-Leona-Well,-Laria-You're nice, but no thank you,-Jos-Okay, They leave,-Laria-Not the best line I have heard, but in this time boys can have a win situation. Not with me and Leona boys, -both laugh,-Leona-How do you shut them off that easily?-Laria-With only one simple answer, no thank you. A simple answer is still so effective,-Leona-I got a lot to learn,-Laria-Your writer friend is here for you,-Leona-When the first time I saw you, I thought she is a big person. Probably too serious,-Laria-Do I give that look?-Leona-Well no, but first time meeting you, yeah,-Laria-Hmm business world here I come to close some deals.

Yours there miles away from mine, not wanting to remember you can't have fun if you don't have energy. Wait someone of us didn't sleep,-Jon-Okay, this laptop is old though. You paid for this great room and they gave you this old one, -Serio-I will complain about the power of writing, a great complaint with your knowledge.10 minutes pass,-Jon-You think I got a chance with Leona?-Serio-I have a better one, do I have a chance to sleep?-Jon-No seriously,-Serio-I think is the room the reason, is so huge you didn't hear what I said but heard what you wanted, you thought I was joking?-Jon-Be honest,-Serio-Because most of the time I am a great liar,-Jon-I see her and want to tell things, but can't.-Serio-I see Jon, say things to Jon but he can't hear me. Oh, when little boys fall in love is a treating thing for their senses,-Jon-Yeah keep joking,-Serio-And a threat to their dear friend who is just a person with simple desires, one of them, sleep.-Jon-You have it easy, you can say what you want without looking bad plus I don't think you've ever been refused,-Serio-Okay, okay now.

See you around,They leave,-Jon-You should have let me,-Serio-Why? So you could hurt your hand in someone who doesn't mind his business, plus I don't wanna get in meaningless fights anymore,-Jon-Yeah that's true,-Serio-We aren't in high school anymore, so no meaningless fights,-Jon-If you and I were together in high school, man what fight we would have, -both laugh,-Serio-I hope you imagined us on the winning side,-Jon-So how cool was Serio in high school?-Serio-Normal student just no one dares to mess with me. I was that quiet kid but not that quiet shy kid, always minding my business and if anyone dared, I use to use violence before words. Not a great student because a lot of time would make fun of people who might have just tried making a joke, so I do not regret but something yes.-Jon-Damn, thought you were that popular boy,-Serio-Because I said I was quiet, didn't mean I wasn't popular. The problem was they sometimes found me weird, -Jon-You aren't weird, you're one of the most real I know,-Serio-That means a lot to me, Jon. What about you?-Jon-I was popular but smart, not trying to get attention but because I had so many friends was popular.-Serio-Ever thought to be again in high school?-Jon-Once or two but, we were so young and dumb I think.
