John suddenly appeared from an opening portal, then fell because the portal spawned in the sky. His heart was beating fast and was screaming loudly.

Nor and Stretcher was walking into a park, just chatting with each other.

"So you're saying that the restaurant, Foodstart, might actually get shut down?" Stretcher said.

"Yeah, the boss sucks to be honest. He doesn't seem to care much about his employees." Nor said.

"Damn, that sucks dude." Stretcher said.

"Yeah, maybe I'll ju-" Nor said, but got interrupted by a loud scream with a big splash on a pond near both of them.

"HELP!!!" John screamed, he was struggling to swim and was drowning.

"Is that guy drowning?" Nor asked, since hes stupid.

"Hmmm...." Stretcher pondered.

John grabs a comically large sign out of nowhere that said "HELP ME!!!" and lift it up for Nor and Stretcher to see.

"WHY!!!" Nor screamed at John, he didn't know if he was drowning or not.

John grabs another comically large sign that said "BECAUSE I'M DROWNING YOU IDIOT!!!!"

"OH SHIT!!!! COMING!!!!" Nor immediately ran to John, panicking the way through.

Nor eventually pulls an exhausted John out of the water who was coughing a lot.

"Uhhh, sorry, his brain stops working sometimes, it happens. I definitely had nothing to do with this!" Stretcher said to John.

"Hey!! I have a brain!!! It just uhmm.....zoned out!!" Nor said.

"Totally pal!!" Stretcher said sarcastically.

John eventually stopped coughing. "Where the hell am I???" John asked.

"Uhhhh.....we are at Park." Nor said.

"Dude, I know this is a park but like what street??? Are we in a city??? And why do you two look like that??" John said.

"This park is literally named park, it says it on the entrance sign, I dunno what you're talking about." Stretcher said

"What's a city?? And hey, we don't look weird!!!" Nor said.

"Oh forget it, is this another world? Everything looks like a more crappy version of my world here." John asked.

"You're from another world??? Alternate worlds are real????" Nor said.

"ALTERNATE WORLDS ARE REAL?????" Stretcher screamed.

"Calm down! Maybe he's just uh.......confused?" Nor said, while also being confused making that sentence too, ironic.

"No, I swear to god, this world looks like an mspaint artstyle..." John said.

"What's an mspaint?" Nor asked.

"Uh, forget about that too." John eventually stood up and asked another question. "So, what in this, uh, thingy world?" John said.

"Uhhhhhh...." Nor didn't know what he was talking about.

"I got you Nor! We have like, houses, restaurants, stores and most importantly.." Stretcher said, but got interrupted by John.

"Hold up, his name is what?" John said, mentioning about Nor's name.

"Who?" Stretcher was confused.

"That, blocky head guy." John said.

"Nor...? What about him?" Stretcher said.

"Nor??? That's like a synonym of neither, what kind of name is that??" John said.

"What the hell is a synonym???? And my name's cool alright!!!" Nor said, more irritated than before.

"Whatever, speaking about names, what's yours...uh, springy boy??" John asked another question.

"Stretcher...." Stretcher said.

"Really..?" John said and face palmed, he genuinely thought both of their names were weird.

"Come on! Let me finish my sentence!!" Stretcher said, irritated as well.

"Fine, what is it?" John said.

"Ok, so most importantly, there is Foodstart." Stretcher said.

"Foodstart? What's that?" John said.

"It's a fast food restaurant. Nor works on it too!" Stretcher explained.

"Is it popular?" John asked.

"Well, here it only has like 2-3 stores at most. Not really that popular." Nor said.

"Damn, really? Food must be good then. Is it healthy?" John said.

"It is pretty good food actually but no, I don't think it's really healthy, probably could give me a heart attack with all that salt. But I have powers so I live anyways." Nor said.

"Wow, what a reminder for me to never go there!" John said.

"Whatever." Nor said.

"Uhh, you wanna go to me and Nor's house by any chance? It's becoming night, so.." Stretcher asked.

"Sure, you guys got food?" John said.

"Yeah, I can cook you some." Nor said.

They all eventually went to Nor's house and Nor started cooking eggs. Stretcher was upstairs preparing a mini bed for John while John was at the couch trying to watch the TV, but was sort of struggling with it. He put the remote on the counter, since he didn't know where else to put it anyways.

Nor's house was quite generic. Imagine you are the TV, the entrance is at the right side, the couch is in front of you, there's an open counter with tall chairs on the left and there are stairs behind the couch leading to the 2nd floor.

John then went to the kitchen, where he saw Nor.

"Nice house, I guess." John complimented.

"Thanks, bought it off from someone." Nor said.

"How much?" John asked.

"A hundred blux." Nor said.

"A hundred...bucks?" John said, confused once again.

"Blux..." Nor corrected him.

"Bl...blux?" John said.

"Yeah, got it right." Nor said.

"Man, you guys got really weird things around here." John said.

"Well, for you. Anyways, eggs are ready to eat." Nor said and put the plates with eggs on the counter. 

Stretcher also had just got done with setting up the bed, so he went downstairs.

"Hey guys! How's it going for you two?" Stretcher said.

"Uh...." Both Nor and John said. "Yeah, uh, great! Uh, real great.." John said, as if he was being forced to say it.

"Nice! Let's all eat now!" Stretcher said, he didn't really notice the fact John said that as if he was forced to. 

They all went to the counter to sit down and eat their food.

"So, what do you guys do for a living?" John asked.

"Well, you already know I work at Foodstart." Nor said.

"I'm a librarian!" Stretcher said.

"What about you?" Nor said.

"Uhh, I just stream and play video games, I guess." John said.

"Sounds cool! Any games you play?" Stretcher said.

"Call of Duty, Counter Strike, uhhhhh, yeah.." John said.

"Cool! Never heard of those before, though." Stretcher said.

"What did your world look like?" Nor asked. He seemed to be more serious about this question than any other one.

"Uhhh, I guess a more realistic version of this world?" John said.

"What?" Nor said, not knowing what "realistic" means, and so did Stretcher too with his confused face.

"Nevermind. Hmm, are you sure you guys are actually real? What if I'm just dreaming??? On a coma, maybe?????" John asked a rather weird question.

"We are literally eating..." Nor said.

"Well, I've done my research and normally you wouldn't see time in your dreams, but there are clocks. We have a clock in this room right now, can you read it?" Stretcher said.

"Uhhh, 11:48 AM. Well shit." John said, shocked the fact that he isn't actually dreaming and has now somehow befriended two weird indimensional people.

"Well, it's not that bad anywhere here! I'm assuming this world just works like yours!" Stretcher said.

"I guess so." John said.

"Uh, another question, was there anything that made you go to this world specifically? Did you trip on a banana and somehow get into this world??" Nor asked.

"Oh yeah, about that...I went to my brother's house for a bit, and uh, stuff happened. He literally got physically infected by some sort of substance he kept in a potion that made him turn all goopy and black because uh, I made him trip in a banana...." John said.

"Bro." Nor said with a poker face after. Stretcher was just there and listening.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I then tried running away from him, though he captured me shortly after. He then tied me up to a chair and wanted to do an experiment on me, I said no and then he went to the bathroom to pee?? I don't know how he would exactly pee or shit with that much goop all over him..." John continued.

"I wonder too, maybe he just has a zipper on it?" Nor said.

"Probably. But to continue, there were glass shards from the potion near me so I grabbed it and cut myself free from the rope. My brother saw me do that though and went straight for me. Like, literally, he pushed me to a machine that made me teleport here. Anddd that's about it." John said

"Wow! Sounds straight up from the fanfics me and Nor read!" Stretcher said.

"Hm, that's something." Nor said. He sounded curious to learn about other worlds.

"It definitely is something." John said.

"Well, uhhh, I'm gonna do something upstairs real quick, done with my food by the way." Nor said like he was on a rush to do something. Stretcher thought it was pretty weird but continued his conversation with John.

"Is there any houses for sale in this neighborhood?" John asked.

"Oh, yeah! There's one in down the street, right in front of our house too!" Stretcher said.

"How much?" John said.

"About 100 blux. Maybe Nor could buy you that house if you ask him too!" Stretcher said.

"Sure, I'll just finish up my food first though. He's actually a really good cook, you know." John said.

"Heck yeah he is! Makes quality food for sure!" Stretcher said.

Stretcher grabs a remote that was beside him on the counter and turned on the TV. Both John and Stretcher started watching it. It was filled with advertisements for products and restaurants. John didn't bother saying something about the new stuff he's seeing anymore, he just thinks it's really weird like the other stuff Nor and Stretcher introduced to him. 

"Hey uh, I'm gonna go check up on Nor for a bit. You can switch channels on this TV, by the way." Stretcher said.

"Uh, sure." John said.

Stretcher eventually leaves John on the living room and goes upstairs on his bedroom, which was also Nor's bedroom. He went inside.

"Hey Nor, you goo-" Stretcher stopped, he saw Nor writing something on a billboard that wasn't even there before in their room.

"Oh. Hey." Nor said tiredly.

"Where the hell did you get this from???" Stretcher asked.

"Spawned it with my powers, duh." Nor said.

"Oh, makes sense, but how did you do all of this in like what, 2 minutes?? That's a lot you wrote on that billboard." Stretcher said.

"Probably and accidentally used my time stopping powers, I guess." Nor said.

Stretcher took another look on the billboard again. All he saw was things about alternate universes and that Nor also wrote a thing with a red circle that had all arrows on it that said "Conclusion: WHAT THE FUCK", He also saw the computer beside both of them on a desk filled with searches on alternate universes.

"Alright man, I think you need a little break." Stretcher said and patted Nor in the back.

"No Stretcher, this has to exist! You've heard what John said! What if-" 

"Shhh!" Stretcher interrupted, since Nor was getting too loud, "Maybe we could ask Lucifer? He's like some sort of god anyways, maybe he'd know."

"Oh, never would've thought of that." Nor said. He then pulled out his phone and called Lucifer's number.

A minute passes by. No answer, and the phone tells Nor to give Lucifer a voicemail instead. Nor hanged up.

"Maybe use that key he gave you?" Stretcher said.

"Sure." Nor said. He used the key to open the portal to where Lucifer is at. After Nor went to the portal, he ended up in a bathroom, with someone showering in the bathtub, curtains closed obviously.

"Lucifer, is that you?" Nor said.

"GAHH!!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Lucifer screamed.

"Oh hey! So do alternate universes exist?" Nor asked.

"You-...you seriously came here to ask me that question?" Lucifer said, surprised.

"Yeah, why?" Nor said.

"You could've just called me on my phone." Lucifer said.

"You didn't answer." Nor said.

"I'm literally taking a bath, Nor. You could just...wait." Lucifer said.

"Yeah, but it was urgent!" Nor said.

"God. Yes, they do exist, now go away." Lucifer said, and continued showering.

"Okay!!! Thanks and bye!!!" Nor said and went back to his house using the key to open the portal.

"Welcome back! What did he say?" Stretcher asked.

"He said that they do exist..." Nor said, he sounded terrified.

"I mean, at least you got your answer now." Stretcher said.

"I guess." Nor said.

The two went back downstairs. They saw John watching something in the TV.

"Hey, I heard you guys talking, what was going on there?" John asked.

"Oh, uh we were just...talking about something, and a friend." Nor said.

"Who?" John said.

"Lucifer." Nor said.

"LUCIFER????"
