Chapter 16 - Surprises and Secrets

Day – Wednesday

The scene opens up in Skyler's house, Emily is walking up to Skyler's bedroom in order to wake him up for school

She opens the door just to see Ben cuddling a girl, Emily is shocked and leaves the room giggling

After a while Mary wakes up and goes to the washroom, she sees a board sign: If you are reading this sign then… you are a pedophile

Ben wakes up 5 minutes later, Mary comes out of the washroom

Mary Raven: Hey Ben who wrote this weird sign on the door?

Benjamin Grim Lock: Its probably Skyler

Mary Raven: Does he always do this

Benjamin Grim Lock: Yes, it's one of his favorite things to do

Mary Raven: Why does he do that

Benjamin Grim Lock: I don't know

Ben always keeps an extra pair of his uniform in Skyler's room just in case if something happens to his uniform

He dresses up in front of Mary, she blushes and turns away

Benjamin Grim Lock: Alright I'm ready now let's go…

Mary Raven: (Interrupts him) What about me Ben?

Benjamin Grim Lock: You should have let me finish my sentence, I was about to say now let's go to your house so you could get ready too…

Mary Raven: Oh, I'm sorry

They both head downstairs and encounter Emily in kitchen

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Hello there! (drinking coffee)

Benjamin Grim Lock: Hey sensei

Mary Raven: (Whispering) Who is she Ben?

Benjamin Grim Lock: Oh that is…

Emily Inochi Tarinai: (Interrupts) Wait! I'll introduce myself Ben (walks toward to them) hi I'm Emily Inochi Tarinai, Skyler's mother

Mary Raven: Oh nice to meet you mam (leans in for a hand shake)

Emily Inochi Tarinai: And you must be Mary Raven right?

Mary Raven: Yes (shocked) how do you know?

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Ben told me a lot about you

Mary Raven: Really! What did he say?

Benjamin Grim Lock: Ah we can talk about that latter

Mary Raven: Why?

Benjamin Grim Lock: Forgot? We have school!

Mary Raven: Oh yeah I'm sorry mam, I would like to chat with you more but I don't have the time

Emily Inochi Tarinai: It's ok

As Ben and Mary are leaving, Emily stopes them

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Hey do you want something to eat or you both are not hungry at all?

Benjamin Grim Lock: Yeah we are, do you have something to eat sensei?

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Mm-mm I have a Indian snacks called samosa, would you like to have that?

Benjamin Grim Lock: How many samosas do you have?

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Enough to fill both your stomachs

Mary Raven: Then we will take it mam

Benjamin Grim Lock: And hey I almost forgot, happy birthday sensei!

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Thank you!

Mary Raven: happy birthday mam

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Thank you!

They both leave the house and get in Ben's car

INT. Ben's Car – Morning

Ben and Mary are eating in the car

Mary Raven: So Ben where do you think Skyler and Moon could be right now?

Benjamin Grim Lock: I have no idea, he is not even picking his phone up

Mary Raven: Moon's doing the same

EXT. Moon's House – driveway Moring

Ben stops his car at Mary's and Moon's drive way

Wait a minute if Mary and Moon know each other for just a week then how come Mary is living in Moon's house?

Well the angels houses are pretty bad and Mary was living there so Moon asked Mary you can stay with me instead of living in the garbage dump like that

Mary runs to her house and opens the door while Ben is sitting in his car, she screams out loud coming out of the house

Mary Raven: (Screaming) Ben comes inside the house fast

Benjamin Grim Lock: Why what happened? (concerned)

INT. Moon's House

As Ben runs inside the house, he saw Skyler's cloths on the sofa, Mary holding her hand on her mouth in shock and disbelief, suddenly Moon out of the kitchen in Skyler's shirt drinking coffee and her hair is wet, after her Skyler comes to the kitchen, he hugs her behind shirtless with wet her kissing her on her cheeks

Skyler Arakawa: How was the shower pookie

Moon Chaeyoung: It was so damn hot that I couldn't breathe at all (she turns back)

Moon and Skyler are looking at each other in lust about to kiss

Benjamin Grim Lock: (Interrupted) I'm sorry what the fuck is going on!

Skyler Arakawa: Hey Ben when did you arrive?

Benjamin Grim Lock: Forget about me, what were you too doing last night

Skyler Arakawa: Well at first, we started watching Netflix and as the time went on… it went on

Ben and Mary look at each other

Benjamin Grim Lock: They're crazy!

Mary Raven: I agree

Cut to

INT. Classroom – Morning

The classroom is buzzing Skyler, Moon, Ben, Mary and Jake are discussing homework, the teacher is writing something on the board, the class feels relaxed suddenly the school PA system (PA means public address) clicks on and the principals voice comes through speakers

Mr. Anderson: Good morning students! I have a very special announcement for y'all

The students stop talking and everyone listens looking at the speaker on the ups right corner

Mr. Anderson: Tomorrow is a very special day... it's my birthday

Jake Fishman: (Sarcastically) Well, happy birthday to him

Skyler is leaning back his chair

Mr. Anderson: And to celebrate, I've decided to do something extraordinary, I'm taking the entire school on a camping trip tomorrow wait for it, I'm paying for everything!

The entire classroom is surprised and excited

Benjamin Grim Lock: (Turning to Mary) Wait, did he just say camping trip? tomorrow?

Mary Raven: (Shaking her head in disbelief) Yeah and his paying for it? is this even real?

Moon Chaeyoung: A camping trip, I haven't been camping in forever

Skyler Arakawa: (Smirking) Well I guess we're getting a free date in the woods

They both smile while Ben and Mary are excited

Jake Fishman: (Rolling his eyes) Great, another day of watching you couples being all coupley in the wilderness, just what I wanted

Skyler Arakawa: (Teasing) Come on man, maybe this trip is your chance to meet someone

Jake Fishman: Yeah no, I'm not interested in dating

Mr. Anderson: We'll be leaving bright and early so don't forget to pack all your stuff like snacks and all

The PA clicks off and the class is filled with excitement

Benjamin Grim Lock: This is going to be awesome, Mary you're bringing the s'mores, right?

Mary Raven: (Laughing) Obviously, what's a camping trip with s'mores?

Wait, you might be wandering what the fuck is a s'mores well let me explain – s'mores is a popular sweet snacks enjoyed around the campfire, now how do I know this well... to be honest I didn't know what the fuck this was !0 days ago, I only got to know about this is because I had to do some research on what people eat in a camping trip and this was the first thing that popped up

You see s'mores is made by roasting a marshmallow over the fire until it's soft and melted, then the warm marshmallow is placed between 2 Graham cracker along with a piece of chocolate, the heat from the marshmallow melts the chocolate a little making it gooey crunchy sweet sandwich with melted textures

Now after all this explanation you might have 2 more questions

!) Why is it called s'mores?

Well, the name s'mores is short for some more because once you taste one, you usually want more

I mean I haven't eaten one so I can't give my review

2) What the fuck is Graham cracker

Graham cracker are a type of cookie or a biscuit, personally I think it's a biscuit

Moon Chaeyoung: I hope the tent's that they give will be cozy

Skyler Arakawa: It's always cozy when I'm around

Moon rolls her eyes and smiles while Ben and Mary laugh, Jake stands up stretching his arms above his head

The bell rings, the students grab their bags excited about tomorrow's trip

Cut to

INT. Cafeteria

Moon and Mary have gone somewhere, Skyler and Ben just finished eating, they can see Jake walking towards them, he is very far away

Skyler and Ben thing of something, they go up to a girl

Skyler Arakawa: You know Ben

Benjamin Grim Lock: What?

Skyler Arakawa: I feel like Jake is lonely

Benjamin Grim Lock: I think the same too

Skyler Arakawa: Let's put it at test

Benjamin Grim Lock: They walk up to a girl

Skyler Arakawa: Hey Rebecca for !0$ will you do a job for me

Rebecca: Sure what is it

Benjamin Grim Lock: We want you too bump into that man right there

Rebecca: Alright but what if he falls in love with me and wants to date me? you'll have to pay me more for that

Skyler Arakawa: If that truly happens I'll pay more

Rebecca walks towards Jake and bumps into him

Jake gets up and walks again as if nothing happened

Rebecca: Hey! you

Jake Fishman: (Turning back) What?

Rebecca: Don't you know what you did?

Jake Fishman: What did I do? you bumped into me

Rebecca: No I didn't, why would a woman like me do that, can't you see I'm the prettiest woman around?

Jake Fishman: If this is called pretty, I must need new glasses

Rebecca: (Rolling her eyes) You're just jealous because you'll never get someone like me

Jake Fishman: (Smirking) Trust me, if that's the price, I'm perfectly fine with losing

Meanwhile Skyler and Ben are watching from far away

Skyler Arakawa: (Confused) The fuck is happening?

Benjamin Grim Lock: I have no idea 

Rebecca: Oh sweetie don't worry my standard are just high enough to keep you out of the running!

Jake Fishman: Well good thing I only aim for the best and clearly, I'm not looking at you!

Rebecca: That's fine, I wouldn't want to waste my time on someone who can't handle a real challenge!

Jake Fishman: A challenge? please, it takes more than a pretty face to impress someone like me, try harder next time

Rebecca: With an attitude like that, it's no wonder you're still single

Jake Fishman: Oh please I'm only single because woman like you exists, I would date you only if I wanted a headache, I'd rather just date myself, at least I'd have better company then you

Rebecca: Wow, you really think you're something special huh? newsflash you're not!

Jake Fishman: You're just another pretty face and trust me, I've seen better at the mall

Skyler and Ben watch the roast from afar, their mouths slightly open in shock

Skyler Arakawa: (Whispering to Ben) Did we just witness Jake annihilate her without breaking a sweat?

Benjamin Grim Lock: (Laughing) Forget camping, this is the real adventure

Jake walks over to Skyler and Ben as they are creepily looking at Jake

Jake Fishman: (Casually sitting down) What?

Skyler Arakawa: Dude, that was savage

Benjamin Grim Lock: You could've at least pretended to be interested!

Jake Fishman: Not my type, besides, I have standards

As the cafeteria buzzes with students enjoying their lunch, Skyler leans forward to say something

Skyler Arakawa: Hey guys today is my mother's birthday wanna come to my house?

Jake Fishman: Sure why not

Benjamin Grim Lock: I'm down

Cut to

INT. Skyler's House – Afternoon

Skyler has invited every single one of his friends to his mother's birthday

The candle on the cake is burning, age 40 (its not her real age) everyone is singing happy birthday while Emily cuts the cake

As everyone is eating the cake there is a knock on the door

Skyler Arakawa: Who could that be? (sarcastic)

Emily opens the door revealing Sophia standing there with a suitcase, she is standing smiling brightly

Sophia Arakawa: Surprise!

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Sophia! What are you doing here?

Sophia Arakawa: I told you I was coming!

Emily steps aside, letting Sophia in

Emily Inochi Tarinai: (Holding Sophia's face) I can't believe it, this is the best birthday present ever!

Sophia Arakawa: I wouldn't miss it for the world, mom… I'm sorry it took so long

Skyler Arakawa: We're just glad you're here now

Emily hugs both of her child's tightly enjoying the moment

Sophia Arakawa: (Whispering to Emily) Have you told Skyler the truth

Emily Inochi Tarinai: I'll tell him soon!

Skyler and Sophia talking to each other, Emily is looking at a old photo them (Ben is also there in that family photo) Jake walks over to Emily

Jake Fishman: Hi mam

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Hi (thinking) you must be Jake

Jake Fishman: How'd you know who I am?

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Cause you're the spiting image of my father

Jake Fishman: That makes sense

Emily Inochi Tarinai: So how's your father doing?

Jake Fishman: Pretty good

Emily Inochi Tarinai: I'm glad to hear that!

Emily spots Moon so she is walking away

Jake Fishman: (Adjusting his glasses) Mam (Emily turns back) thank you for saving me!

Emily gives Jake a hug

Emily Inochi Tarinai: It's ok!

After hugging Jake Emily walks over to Moon to have a talk with her

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Hi there

Moon Chaeyoung: Hi (confused)

Emily Inochi Tarinai: You must be Skyler's girlfriend

Moon Chaeyoung: Yes I am… and you must be (thinking to hard) Skyler's mother cause you both got the same hair (Skyler's and his mother's hair color is white)

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Nice guess!

Moon Chaeyoung: Mam I want to ask you something personal if you don't mind

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Yeah please I don't mind

Moon Chaeyoung: Why did you not tell Skyler's the truth?

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Because… I and Ethan decided after all we have been through, we just wanted Skyler's and Ben to live a normal lives and not take on the stress of protecting someone!

Jake joins the conversation while Emily is talking , so she changes the topic

Emily Inochi Tarinai: So is that bustard Anthony taking caring of you 2 well or not

Moon Chaeyoung: He is but sometimes he makes me so angry (Jake nods)

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Mm-mm… you know back in the days when Anthony used to make me mad, I used to beat the carp out of him

Moon Chaeyoung: What, seriously?

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Yeah next time when Anthony makes you mad, just tell him I'll tell Emily about what you did, he'll ask sorry right away

Moon Chaeyoung: Good idea I'll use it right away

As everybody is busy in doing their own thing suddenly a man comes in house opening the main door, everybody is shocked… that man looks at Skyler's father and gets happy

Anthony Fishman: Hey dickhead long time no see yeah

Ethan Arakawa: (Shocked) Anthony?

Ethan and Anthony hugs each other tightly missing each other… Emily walks toward them and smacks Anthony head very hard

Emily Inochi Tarinai: Asshole! were you that busy to come over and say hi!

Anthony Fishman: I'm sorry

Emily hugs Anthony in tears

As Ethan, Sophia and Emily are talking to each other in the kitchen… Anthony and his son Jake are sitting on the sofa talking about something deep

Anthony Fishman: Did Skyler unlock his powers?

Jake Fishman: No father

Anthony Fishman: What do you mean no? didn't the bigfoot nearly kill Skyler?

Jake Fishman: He was about to but I helped him

Anthony Fishman: You are an idiot!

Jake Fishman: Why what happened?

Anthony Fishman: In order for Skyler to get his true power he was get a near death experience

Ben sits on the sofa Anthony and Jake stop talking

Anthony Fishman: I can give you a little information that nobody knows about!

Emily Inochi Tarinai: I love you too… (starts crying with him)

The End Of Chapter 16…

Poem: A hand unseen has cast its stone,

The plan was made, the seeds were sown.

To see him beaten, bruised, and torn,

And from that fire, his strength reborn.

Yet power forged in pain's embrace,

Leaves hollow echoes, empty space.

Without his will, his choice, his voice,

You stole his path, you stole his choice.

For power born without consent

Is but a curse the heavens sent.

Cut to

INT/EXT – A place Beyond the multiverse

Supreme Deity: Everything is going according to us

Temporal Entity: Master as mush as I like your idea of making Skyler the strongest character, I don't think this plan of ours will work!

Supreme Deity: What do you mean Temporal entity?

Temporal Entity: What I mean is… ok you make Skyler the strongest being of the multiverse and he kills the Celestial being and brings peace to the entire multiverse, and that is if he kills him… you do know that Celestial being is Omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omnifarious and omnimalicious right?

Supreme Deity: Yeah!

Temporal Entity: So do you really think that the Celestial being would wait until a god gets strong and kills him?

Supreme Deity: Let me tell you something Temporal entity

The Supreme deity places his hand on Temporal entities shoulder

Supreme Deity: Look to the darkness, deep and wide,

A being so strong, no place to hide.

All powerful, he holds the skies,

No secret escapes his watchful eyes.

He's everywhere, in every place,

With many forms, but one dark face.

His heart is cruel, his will is pain,

He breaks the world to rule and reign.

No one can stop him, none can fight,

No hero stands to match his might.

Yet one stands tall, a destined name,

Skyler Arakawa, the end of his game.

Through fire and trials, he found his way,

To face this villain and win the day.

The battle comes, the stage is set,

A fight the world will not forget.

The darkest foe, the brightest light,

The final clash, wrong versus right.
