Jack: ARE YOU N00BS COMING OVER TO SEE MY ROCKET OR NAH?!

Merritt: Calm your twat, I'm on my way over rn

Walter: 'Calm your twat' XD

Walter: You've been hanging around me for far too long, Mere

JD: Dyl Lu and I are carpooling over to your place

Henley: I'm on my way, it's just really hard to drink Starbucks and drive at the same time

Dylan: BB, what did I tell you about drinking while driving?!

Henley: That I shouldn't do it or I'll get into an accident

Henley: Ffs Dyl, if I can drive home drunk without dying, I can drive to Jack's house sober while sipping a Starbucks latte

Jack: YOU'VE DRIVEN HOME DRUNK?!

JD: Ok, 1 why haven't I heard about this before and 2 would you recommend I did it?

Henley: 1 because you're a stupid idiot and 2 no I do not

JD: Goddammit

Lula: When did the drunk driving thing happen?

Henley: It was after prom last year

Henley: I was driving one of my other squads home because they were more wasted than I was

Henley: It was a miracle I got home in one piece

Jack: You must be a magician

Merritt: Did your parents ever find out?

Henley: Not that I know of

Henley: They were waiting in the living room when I got home, so I had to act 100% sober and not let slip that I'd had a couple spiked drinks at the dance

Henley: You know how my parents are

Henley: If I'd told them about the incident, they would never let me out of the house again

Lula: Well thank god you're alive to tell the tale, Hennie

Jack: WHAT THE HECK FAM, GET OUT OF THE CAR AND COME INSIDE

Jack: YOU LOOK LIKE FUCKING STALKERS JUST SITTING THERE IN THE DRIVEWAY

Dylan: Okay damn

Dylan: Cmon guys

(They get out of the car and go into the garage)

Merritt: HOLY SMOKES

Lula: Wow

Henley: Jack, I know you've brought it up a million times, but I never expected you to have a real rocket in your garage

JD: Welp, now I know what I'll be having for dinner

JD: My words

Jack: It's fully functional too

Jack: Watch this

(Jack opens the door of the rocket and flicks a switch inside)

(The rocket makes a rumbling sound)

Jack: Pretty cool, huh?

Dylan: Totally

Henley: Very cool

JD: Jack my dude, I'm sorry I ever doubted you

Jack: Hey, it's cool bro

Jack: *fist bumps*

JD: *fist bumps back*

Merritt: What are we waiting for, an invitation?

Merritt: Let's take this baby for a spin

Jack: Yeah, about that

Jack: It doesn't exactly

Jack: "Go into space" per say

JD: Dafuq you mean

JD: It's a rocket

JD: It's supposed to go into space

Dylan: Yeah dude

Dylan: You said so yourself you'd use it when you get too exasperated to live on Earth anymore

Jack: See, that's part of how I acquired it

Jack: Some scientists at NASA had deemed it 'unfit to launch' while I was taking a tour of the headquarters over the summer

Jack: I won it by guessing a rocket science question correctly

Lula: And they gave you the whole thing?

Jack: Yupperooney

Jack: And it's not /that/ broken, btw

Jack: All it needs are a few tweaks and it will be usable

Dylan: But Jack

Dylan: It's rocket science

Dylan: Literal rocket science

Dylan: We have to be supreme super geniuses to get it even ten feet off the ground

Jack: So?

Jack: We're smart people

Henley: We're in high school, Jack

Jack: That hasn't stopped us from doing the impossible before

Jack: We've started a pieing flash mob

Jack: We've prevented our school football field from getting turfed

Jack: Heck, we almost started a riot at Coachella last year

JD: Ah, good times

Henley: */Not/ good times

Henley: My toes got bruised from being stepped on so much

Dylan: We told you ahead of time it wasn't a good idea to wear flip flops

Henley: Shut your piehole

Henley: I just wanted to look cute

Lula: This involves math though

Lula: And last I checked, none of us are good at math

Jack: Dyl is

Jack: JD is

Jack: Mere is

Jack: Walter is

Jack: That right there is a list of four people who can do the mathing for us

Lula: Okay, but who's going to do the heavy lifting?

Jack: I will

Jack: I'm the strongest out of all of us

Lula: And finally, who's going to put it all back together?

Jack: You and Hennie, of course

Jack: You're good with instructions and Hennie is good with organization

Lula: No shit

Lula: Have you seen her lipstick collection? She actually took the time to organize the colors from lightest to darkest

Merritt: Forget the damn lipstick

Merritt: It's this baby we're worried about now *knocks on rocket*

Jack: C'mon fam

Jack: We have a rocket to fix
