River had looked at Rakim, and then, started freaking out about the voices. She had tucked herself into his chest, so he held her. He was about to say that the voices weren't real, but he had heard it himself. "It's alright" he said, but something was, different. He looked down into Rivers eyes, She looked up at his, and then it happened.
They weren't anywhere near his caddy. Some other place, it reminded him of their imaginary place as kids, except rundown, old, and unkept. "Uhh, River, I think it's real"
A figure was not too far from them, it looked like a woman, with pointed ears, and long red hair. Rakim wasn't sure of what to do, this was all so, unimaginable. They were back to the place they used to go as kids, what did they call it? The otherworld, Rakim thought to himself. His mind began to wander, wondering what happened to the place, what had went on here after they continued with their lives.
The woman went to speak, but Rakim spoke first.
"Is this......actually real. Like am I here right now?"
Then, just as soon as they were there, they were gone again.
He walked with River back to the car, squeezed her hand, completely unsure of what to say.
He decided to play it off. "You want to grab supper or something? My buddy John makes a damn good chickenburger"
"Sure" She responded. She seemed embarassed about what just happened, but Rakim couldn't argue, he was just as mind boggled as she was.
He dialed. No answer. Dialed again. No answer. He picked up the third time, and Rakim lost it on him
"You dumb montherfucker I thought you were dead, pick up your fucking phone" John was used to this kind of reaction, and responded casually
"Lemme guess, your calling me to roll a joint and make some chickenburgers. Who's comin over?"
Rakim begain to whisper "A girl from school, shes cute, so try and keep the dogs away eh?"
"Sure, but hurry up man I'm out and we got white girls lining up at the door for that new shit you got, apparently it's pretty great."
Rakim laughed, then hungup.
He looked at River, and asked the question.
"You smoke?"
