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
