The First Chapter

Max Previarty Krinston
Hey Tallo you go get us something and Imma talk to Ali for a sec *walks to Ali's room and locks her door behind him* How are you?

Tallo Coheard
*calls for info on when to go pick up the dinner* Imma go pick up dinner then Sam is resting in her room right now

Ali DiLaurentis
I'm fine. Why'd you lock my door?

Max Previarty Krinston
*sighs* It’s to talk to you about something *looks at his com net quickly* We are close to busting xanas secrets and once we do what are we gonna do with the whole team?

Ali DiLaurentis
What do you mean?

Max Previarty Krinston
I mean the computer and the zerox system I was thinking of making it more of an attraction or something I don't know maybe make a game for players I don't know without any other purpose the team zerox will be useless and the computer won’t need to be on anymore

Ali DiLaurentis
So you're saying this is your guys' life?

Max Previarty Krinston
Pretty much for me yes but I don't know whatt to do with it after xana is gone. *sighs* Do you have any ideas?

Ali DiLaurentis
Why don't you find something else to do with your life?

Max Previarty Krinston
Ali, computers are my life. I spent years designing and programming this computer. It’s the fastest computer ever to be designed in human history. *unlocks the door it turns green* Unless you find something, I might just make this a video game and sell it so you plug a small zerox connector at your house and you can virtualize into this virtual world that I have control over.

Ali DiLaurentis
Do you have true control? Or is the virus in control?

Max Previarty Krinston
Of my computer, yes I do have complete control over it. The virus is on the internet but I have programs running as gatekeepers to keep the virus from having free reign of the web so, yes I have complete control over my computer and the virus doesn't.

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay. I'm going to change so I can train. So, can you please leave?

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs* Sure. No problem. I got the design to work on anyway. *walks out and down the hall to the main room*

Tallo Coheard
*finally arrives back and yells* Hey guys, I got dinner for all of us. I got pizza, Chinese, and I also stopped by McDonalds for Sam so Imma put the stuff in the warmer for later. *shoves the food in the warmer to keep it hot* Imma be in training room 2 since we have three.

Max Previarty Krinston
*yells back* Okay Tallo. Just remember to lock the darn door.

Ali DiLaurentis
*steps into the training room in her full outfit looking at all of the guns on all of the walls*

Max Previarty Krinston
*pulls up some new programs to attack xana with since Tallo found the codes* Okay so Imma go talk to Sam since she ran to her room crying a minute ago. *walks into Sam's room and closes the door to talk to her*

Ali DiLaurentis
*continues looking *

Tallo Coheard
Hey Ali. What weapon are you gonna use?

Ali DiLaurentis
I don't know. Which one looks more complicated to you?

Tallo Coheard
That one. *points to a compound bow*

Ali DiLaurentis
*grabs it and goes into the training room* Press the button for me would ya?

Tallo Coheard
Sure. Here you go. *hits the button for Ali*

Max Previarty Krinston
*comes out of Sam’s room and coms everyone* I'm heading to the store for Sam real quick. I will be back in 10 minutes.

Ali DiLaurentis
*doesn't answer and starts shooting with ease not missing one target*

Tallo Coheard
*doesn't answer either and starts destroying the targets one after another*

Max Previarty Krinston
*enables the defenses after going into his truck and drives off*

Ali DiLaurentis
*finishes up and walks out to put the gun back up*

Sam Skinner
*Finally unlocks her room door and walks out with her iPod and tablet having evidence of tear marks on her face*

Ali DiLaurentis
*goes up to Sam to see if she's okay*

Sam Skinner
*whispers to Ali* I don’t want Xana dead since Xana holds the last remaining information codes of her friend, an ex member of Zerox that died. I was dating him.

Ali DiLaurentis
*hugs Sam and tell her that she will have a memorial built in the factory for him so she still has something of his to visit*

Sam Skinner
*Holds Ali tighter and tells Ali* I keep thinking of ways to ask Max to do something. It's just every time I think of it, we always have a tower active or I can’t get the words out to say it. Ali, this team is my family. I have no mom or dad. They died when I was 10. I have no brothers either. *Starts crying again*

Ali DiLaurentis
*holds Sam and comforts her and tells her she'll have something done for him and that Sam can design it if she wants*

Sam Skinner
*Thanks Ali but tells her she won’t be able to ask Max since he had paid for the factory and the rest of the rooms being built since there was 10 built for 5 members* Max started the whole group and now this factory belongs to the zerox team. I just don't know how to bring building something like that up to anyone else in the group.

Ali DiLaurentis
It'll be my honor to have something done for you and him.

Sam Skinner
*Asks Ali to go to her room with her so she can show Ali something*

Ali DiLaurentis
*agrees and follows Sam *

Sam Skinner
*Starts walking to her room and unlocks the door with her com net and goes to her closet* You can’t say anything yet to anyone okay Ali?

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay

Sam Skinner
*opens her closet revealing suitcases of Brad's things* This is everything he had. His family gave it all to me, I just don't know what to do with it. *locks her door with her com net*

Ali DiLaurentis
We should use it all for a memorial for him.

Sam Skinner
*looks at Ali confused* How do you think we can do that?

Ali DiLaurentis
Two girl minds put together can design a great memorial and I want this for you because it'll make you feel at least a little better.

Sam Skinner
But what about Max or Tallo, what are they gonna say?

Tallo Coheard
*gets out of the training center and heads to his room and his door locks*

Ali DiLaurentis
I think they'll be proud of it. It's the greatest way to honor him. I mean wouldn't you like to do the same for the others if the same thing happened to them instead?

Sam Skinner
Ya I would. I would definitely want to do it for any of the team if it happened to them.

Ali DiLaurentis
Then, we should do it.

Sam Skinner
*giggles* I told Max I was on my period and didn't have anything so I didn't have to tell him what’s going on and he went to get pads since I told him I didn't have any. *laughs*

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs* That's awesome.

Sam Skinner
*laughs* So, what am I gonna do when he comes back with a box of pads? *still giggling*

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs* Well, now you don't have to worry about running out but you have to talk to him about it and I'll be right there with you.

Sam Skinner
Yeah. True. True and thank you Ali.

Ali DiLaurentis
You're welcome.

Sam Skinner
*unlocks the door with her com net* Max is back and Tallo should be done training by now and it’s almost 8 so let’s go start designing the suits ya?

Ali DiLaurentis
Alright.

Sam Skinner
*walks outta the room and wipes her eyes* Hey Ali.....Thanks I'm glad you're part of the zerox family.

Max Previarty Krinston
*walks in with a couple bags of things sets two down, goes and puts the other one in Sam’s room, and goes to meet the team for dinner and designing* Hey guys. How is it going?

Tallo Coheard
*walks out the training room and into the main room* Hey, design time? *grabs a water outta the fridge and uses his shirt to wipe his sweat off*

Ali DiLaurentis
Yeah and I have some ideas and I know everyone else does too.

Max Previarty Krinston
Well, here is a hologram. Design your ideas on it ya?

Tallo Coheard
*points to Sam and Ali* Seems like you two are getting to know each other well.

Ali DiLaurentis
Yeah. We're becoming great friends.

Sam Skinner
*laughs* Shut up Tallo. But yes we are. This whole group is a family anyway aren't we? *looks around*

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at Sam* Oh ya. We are Sam.

Tallo Coheard
Of course Sam. Where would I be without this team? *motions to handcuffs around his wrist* In jail or worse for that matter am I right?

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs* Am I the only one who would still have a life outside the team?

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs hard* Maybe but remember this Ali, life or no life we are a family now. *chuckles*

Ali DiLaurentis
*smiles* Always.

Sam Skinner
*looks at Ali and whispers* You need to remember that I live here 24/7 now. In the living hall back there. *points to the hall of bedrooms* Now let’s get to designing. Ya?

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay. Well I was sketching and I came up with this. *pulls out a sketch*

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at it* Damn. I like it already let’s see what we can do with that design ya?

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay. Sam, would you like to help me with the rough creation?

Sam Skinner
Sure. Just let me get something that’s gonna help us *runs in her room and grabs a box* This is my personal computer. We can use this for the rough design and send it to the computer to virtualize our first set to see how they look. Ya?

Ali DiLaurentis
Yeah, definitely but let's work on it in my room. Boys if you would excuse us.

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs* No go ahead and also you have to lock it with your com net for now on. I can’t do it anymore with the supercomputer on my com net unless you leave it open.

Sam Skinner
*follows Ali to her room*

Ali DiLaurentis
No problem. Oh and Tallo?

Tallo Coheard
*looks at Ali* Yo?

Ali DiLaurentis
Just for fair warning, *flings a small knife almost the size of a pen and sticks into the table standing up* I always have some sort of weapon on me so watch yourself. *walks into her room*

Max Previarty Krinston
*cracks up laughing* Damn

Ali DiLaurentis
*locks the door when both her and Sam are inside*

Tallo Coheard
*looks at Max* She, like, must have a thing to threaten me or something man. *starts to design some weapons for the computer*

Ali DiLaurentis
*yells from her room* I heard that.

Sam Skinner
*looks at Ali and looks at what she did to her room which was barely anything just changed the color* You do know this is permanent, right? Also, you might have noticed already, every room that’s locked in the factory has red glow lines on it and the ones that are unlocked are green.

Max Previarty Krinston
*busts up laughing again* Dude, you're gonna get yourself killed.

Tallo Coheard
*looks at Max* Yea. Maybe I am.

Ali DiLaurentis
Yeah I know. Let's get started. *sits on the bed*

Sam Skinner
*starts up her laptop and brings up her designing holograms which a few come up that she was designing already and she quickly closes those and hides them* Sorry. *blushes* Here is a new canvas. *pulls up a blanks canvas for designing*

Ali DiLaurentis
*giggles* It's fine. Look at my trash can.

Sam Skinner
*looks over*

Max Previarty Krinston
*yells from in the main room* Heck yeah! The damn thing works finally!

Sam Skinner
*looks back at Ali* What are they?

Ali DiLaurentis
Sketches that weren't good enough. *looks at the door over hearing Max and laughs*

Sam Skinner
Okay what color are you going to need first and what canvas type? *pulls up the color tools and drawing holograms for the designing* isn't it weird how the Zerox team is the only known people to have working holograms with color that looks real?

Ali DiLaurentis
Pretty weird. I'm going to need red and black and whatever colors the others would like but their color has to be on black. I chose red because I happen to like that color but mine would just be an example.

Sam Skinner
Max found out how to make it all work flawlessly and he taught us how to make the tech for it. He had us help make the computer although it was his idea from the start. *pulls up a red hologram brush and hands it to Ali* Okay, design away if you need me to undo something just tell me, okay?

Ali DiLaurentis
*takes the brush and starts painting and copies what she did on paper*

Sam Skinner
*watches Ali's every move and smiles when she sees it coming to life*

Ali DiLaurentis
Can I have some black please?

Sam Skinner
Sure here you go. *changes the color of the hologram brush to black* There. It’s black now.

Ali DiLaurentis
*continues to paint until she was done* There. What do you think?

Sam Skinner
*saves the design* Well, let’s see how it looks on you. *pulls up a hologram on Ali that is the design she made* It's awesome. I would wear it. I think the boys' ones should be the same design but blue on black. what do you think?

Ali DiLaurentis
That'd be great. Remember I'm not going to wear the outfit that we design; I'm going to wear my usual dress and combat boots. Let's go show the guys.

Sam Skinner
*whispers to Ali* These designs and everything are meant for when we are in the computer instead of wearing standard clothes that Max made by hand and they are also for if this thing becomes a game for public use too. *saves the design and sends it to the computer* Okay. Let’s go show them.

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at Ali and Sam as they walk back in* Are you girls done already?

Tallo Coheard
Yeah it's only 5. I thought you girls would take longer to design this thing.

Ali DiLaurentis
I know how to design in a good amount of time. Sam, let's show them.

Sam Skinner
*goes onto the computer and brings up a hologram of the design in red and blue* There I like red for girls and blue for boys, though that's just my opinion.

Ali DiLaurentis
I agree.

Max Previarty Krinston
*goes up to the blue and looks at it and studies it* I very much like it. Let's virtualize a set then, see how they fit, and look on us, ya?

Ali DiLaurentis
Sam, would you do the honor?

Sam Skinner
Sure Ali. *virtualizes two pairs for Ali and Sam and two pairs for max and Tallo* They are in scanner 1 now.

Ali DiLaurentis
Ta da. *smiles* Well, what do you guys think?

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at the outfit and grabs one of the boys ones* I will say once I have it on. *dresses right in front of everyone* Okay. I like it.

Sam Skinner
*looks at max in a disgusted face* Did not want to see that Max.

Ali DiLaurentis
Neither did I. *throws one at Tallo* Here. Please get dressed in your room.

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs* I like it though.

Ali DiLaurentis
Sam came up with the color scheme.

Max Previarty Krinston
*shakes his head* Okay cool.

Ali DiLaurentis
Meaning she thought of the colors.

Tallo Coheard
*walks out and walks back in with it on* I like it. The colors are nice and I would use this in the computer anytime you guys. Nice work girls.

Max Previarty Krinston
*pulls open a box from his room and runs back to the group* I finally finished this by the way.

Ali DiLaurentis
What is it?

Max Previarty Krinston
*opens the box to reveal a hilt like a sword but without a blade and takes the hilt out and plugs it into his com net* The first sword to be made out of plasma. It can cut through almost anything instantly. *turns it on and a beam of plasma erupts from the hilt and forms a blade for a sword* Although, it is bad since there is no weight but the hilt but it’s easy to get used to, I think.

Tallo Coheard
*laughs* Heck yea. A new toy to practice with.

Sam Skinner
You're nuts Max. That thing is more dangerous than the plasma gun we made a year ago.

Ali DiLaurentis
Which I know how to use. Can I see it?

Max Previarty Krinston
Sure. *turns the blade off and unplugs it from his com net* Plug it into your com net to give it power. *tosses the hilt over to Ali*

Ali DiLaurentis
*takes it and plugs it in* Wow. This is almost as awesome as the master sword. I call practicing with it first.

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs* You can change the color of the blade with your com net, adjust the value of the power signature to the blade, and it changes the color to whatever you want. I'm working on other weapons too though. I will show as I finish them.

Sam Skinner
*change into the new suit in front of everyone as everyone stares at her* What I don't care what you people see 'cause, honestly, if you guys try anything, I will beat the crap outta you.

Max Previarty Krinston
*turns his head* Yea, um, you're like a sister to me Sam like Imma try to look. *walks to his room to start working again*

Tallo Coheard
Yea, not gonna stay when I just saw that either. *walks to training room 2 and starts training*

Ali DiLaurentis
*starts walking to the training room * I'm going to go play with the new toy.

Sam Skinner
*goes over to the computer* I got a program of mine to jump into and remember guys, we are going to eat at 8 and it's about 7 now.

Max Previarty Krinston
*everyone hears a bang from Max's room and mMax yells out* Damn piece of crap! That freaking hurt!

Ali DiLaurentis
*shakes my head and laughs*

Sam Skinner
*steps into a scanner and virtualizes herself into a program that no one knew existed*

Ali DiLaurentis
*continues training with the new toy then finishes up and walks out* Hey Tallo, do you want to try this thing out?

Tallo Coheard
*nothing can be heard but another bang from Tallo's room*

Ali DiLaurentis
*knocks on the door and shouts* Tallo!

Max Previarty Krinston
*runs outta his room and goes into Tallo's room* Ali, I'm initiating out defensive protocols. The entire team that isn't virtualized will be virtualized. *looks at Ali, glumly* It's a spectra. It's sealed in Tallo's room right now, but Tallo's com net will virtualize him in once I start the protocol. Now, go in scanner 2. I will be over there in a bit.

Ali DiLaurentis
*groans and does what she's told*

Max Previarty Krinston
*the spectra opens Tallo's door by force and starts heading down to the main room* Crap *jumps in scanner 3 and hits his com net and Ali, Max, and Tallo are virtualized*

Ali DiLaurentis
I'm so going shopping after all of this.

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs* You can do that later. A return to the past might be needed to go back to 5 pm after this too. Damn Tallo *watches him fall into the computer*

Tallo Coheard
*falls into the computer and is completely knocked out*

Sam Skinner
*a program door appears and Sam walks through then it disappears* What's the matter?

Ali DiLaurentis
*notices Tallo got knocked out* Damn it. I wanted to knock him out.

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs* Of course but a change in outfit from these old things are in order, I think. *hits his com net which changes the entire teams outfit to the new suits* Looks better and feels better, I think. Now, let's go. The activated tower is due that way. *points in the direction*

Sam Skinner
Yea yea *starts runnin to the tower*

Ali DiLaurentis
What about Tallo?

Max Previarty Krinston
I don't know ...... Oh hey, how about this? *hits his com net and a car comes up and max laughs* Put him in the trunk?

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs* I want to throw him in!

Max Previarty Krinston
*opens the trunk* Sure and I am gonna drive *looks at Sam as she is still running full speed to the tower then looks at Ali* Is she okay?

Ali DiLaurentis
*throws Tallo in the trunk and slams it shut* That's a conversation that'll be saved for later when she's in the same room much less the same area.

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at ali* Okay then. Let's go. *drives off

Ali DiLaurentis
*runs toward the tower not wanting to be in the car much less around it when Tallo wakes up*

Max Previarty Krinston
*stops at the tower and gets out and talks to Ali* Best not be in that car right now. *chuckles*

Ali DiLaurentis
*giggles* I don't think he would dare challenge me. I almost killed him twice.

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs* True. True, but let's just get that tower down.

Ali DiLaurentis
Alright.

Sam Skinner
*comes running by ignoring all the enemies and heads first into the tower quickly deactivating it*

Max Previarty Krinston
Never mind then, I guess. *looks concerned*

Tallo Coheard
*wakes up and starts yelling and kicking to get out of the trunk* This is bull shit!

Ali DiLaurentis
I'll get it. *she said cheerfully. Walks to the trunk and opens it* Hey there sunshine.

Tallo Coheard
*nails Ali in the face* You did this crap to me didn't you?

Ali DiLaurentis
*grabs him by the neck and holds a knife to his face* Don't fucking test me.

Max Previarty Krinston
Ali just cut him up. We are in the computer anyway. He will be pushed to the physical world anyway since Sam already is in the physical world and the towers deactivated. Go ahead.

Tallo Coheard
*looks at Max* Oh. Thanks for the help.

Ali DiLaurentis
*smiles diabolically * My pleasure. *stabs him in the head and cuts his throat*

Tallo Coheard
*devirtualizes and gets the return to the past ready to go to 5:30 pm*

Ali DiLaurentis
*stabs herself in the stomach*

Max Previarty Krinston
*smiles and looks at Ali* Nice one. *hits his com net and is devirtualized to meet Sam, Tallo, and Ali* Guys, since its gonna be 5:30 in a few seconds, we are gonna be right here like we were a couple hours ago. See you guys in a bit. *hits the button and everything flashes back to 5:30*

Ali DiLaurentis
*as soon as she was settled at the new time she grabbed her bag* I'm going shopping, whoever wants to come, meaning Max or Sam, can but I'm driving.

Max Previarty Krinston
Are you still staying the night though Ali?

Sam Skinner
I would like to go with ya Ali.

Ali DiLaurentis
Yeah. I just need to go out. Come on Sam. Let's go. *gives Tallo a look that said 'I will kill you' before walking out*

Sam Skinner
*follows Ali*

Ali DiLaurentis
*starts walking to her car*

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at Tallo* Dude, you're totally in for it after decking her in the face like that.

Ali DiLaurentis
*gets in the car and starts it*

Sam Skinner
Hey, Ali guess what.

Ali DiLaurentis
What?

Sam Skinner
*pulls out the hilt Max made* I got slippery fingers. *laughs*

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs* What is that?

Sam Skinner
That beam sword Max made that uses plasma as the blade.

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs* Nice. How did you sneak that past him? He's got eyes like a hawk.

Sam Skinner
Like I said, I got the magic fingers, plus I really like this thing too. *looks at the hilt more closely*

Ali DiLaurentis
So do I. It's like the light sabers off of Star Wars. *laughs and starts driving to the mall*

Sam Skinner
*laughs* That's why I like it so much.

Ali DiLaurentis
We should totally take it into the mall.

Sam Skinner
*laughs* This thing has a safety switch on it. I wonder if it keeps the beam from cutting. *looks at Ali* We could walk around acting like we have a lightsaber from Star Wars. *giggles*

Ali DiLaurentis
Oh my god, yes. *continues driving*

Sam Skinner
*looks at her com net* Max did put a manual for it on our com nets. It says the switch is for sparing. It wont cut or do any damage to anything or anyone if the safety switch is on.

Ali DiLaurentis
*looks at Sam with a mischievous smile*

Sam Skinner
We so gotta use this to creep people out.

Ali DiLaurentis
Totally.

Sam Skinner
So, how are we gonna use it? *turns the safety on*

Ali DiLaurentis
I have a plan.

Sam Skinner
*looks at Ali* You scare me sometimes, do you know that?

Ali DiLaurentis
*smiles* Max says my driving scares him.

Sam Skinner
*cracks up laughing* You drive the same way I do so, I can understand why.

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs and pulls up to the mall*

Sam Skinner
*takes the hilt turns it on with the safety on and whacks the pavement to see it doesn't do anything like Max specified* This is gonna be good. *laughs*

Ali DiLaurentis
Let me see it.

Sam Skinner
*turns it off and hands the hilt to Ali* Let's see what we can do with it ya?

Ali DiLaurentis
*smiles* Totally.

Sam Skinner
*looks at Ali* So, what store and who to freak out first?

Ali DiLaurentis
Let's go into Forever 21.

Sam Skinner
Okay. *follows Ali*

Ali DiLaurentis
*starts walking into the mall*

Sam Skinner
So Ali, you gonna stay with the team after xana is beat?

Ali DiLaurentis
You guys are pretty cool to hang out with.

Sam Skinner
Well, would you stay a Zerox member after Xana is gone though?

Ali DiLaurentis
Yeah.

Sam Skinner
Awesome. *laughs and sees a little boy* Let's get him to believe you're a Jedi huh?

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs* Yes *goes up to the boy* Hello young Jedi. Are you prepared to battle?

Sam Skinner
*the boy looks at Ali like she is a freak and Sam tries not to laugh* Turn it on.

Ali DiLaurentis
*turns it on and waves it around, making lightsaber noises*

Sam Skinner
*the boy runs and Sam just cracks up laughing* I'm gonna pee my pants.

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs with her*

Sam Skinner
*looks around and finds a hat she likes* Too bad I got squat for cash on me.

Ali DiLaurentis
I have my credit card.

Sam Skinner
*looks at Ali confused* You're okay buying a couple things for me?

Ali DiLaurentis
Yeah definitely. What are friends for?

Sam Skinner
*smiles and looks at Ali* I've never had a friend that would do that.

Ali DiLaurentis
Well, then they aren't real friends.
July 16, 2014

Sam Skinner
*looks at Ali* Thank you.

Ali DiLaurentis
*looks at Sam and smiles* You're welcome

Sam Skinner
So, um, I honestly am getting a job in a couple weeks. I start on Thursday to pay rent to Max. I just hate that he pays for everything at the factory and I literally live there. *taps her com net* This is my phone and everything else. *giggles as she sees a shirt she likes* This one's funny.

Ali DiLaurentis
Well, if you ever want to escape the factory, you're welcome to come to my place. When was the last time you had full on girl time? *looks at the shirt she's looking at* That is funny.

Sam Skinner
*smiles* Thank you. I will have to hit you up on that one but honestly that's been years ago when my parents were still alive. *forces a smile* So, what do you like doing by the way?
July 18, 2014

Ali DiLaurentis
Just about anything really. Anything that keeps me moving. I don't like sitting still for too long except when I'm reading. *smiles* Now I love antagonizing Tallo.

Sam Skinner
*cracks up laughing* He deserves what you're giving him 'cause he can be an ass sometimes. *laughs some more*

Ali DiLaurentis
Hell yeah he can. God the times I didn't get him with a knife were warning shots. I will get him next time he pisses me off.

Sam Skinner
True. True. hey, let's see who else we can scare with that blade thing ya?

Ali DiLaurentis
Right. Let's go to Forever 21.

Sam Skinner
Sure *follows Ali and hears her com net go off* Max wants to show us all something outside the mall after we are done.

Ali DiLaurentis
Does he know if the thing is missing?

Sam Skinner
*laughs* I don't think he does.

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs* Okay. Let's go scare some people then we'll meet up with him.

Sam Skinner
*laughs maniacally* Heck ya.

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs*

Sam Skinner
*follows Ali* So, how long are you gonna stay at the factory or is it just one night?

Ali DiLaurentis
I'll be there for some nights.

Sam Skinner
*whispers to Ali* Max made the rooms all different. Ones were made for girls, ones for boys. The girls' ones all have a secret room that all the girls rooms lead off to and same with the boys' rooms. Me and you can meet up in that room sometimes and hang out by ourselves 'cause Max can unlock the rooms if he really needs to. He can't get to the secret girls' hang out room only the girls' com nets can unlock that one. Same with the boys'.

Ali DiLaurentis
Really? That's cool. I still like to hang out at my house though. You'll see why when you come to visit.

Sam Skinner
I will have to stay there sometime but to be honest, because I live at the factory, if someone sleeps there it's like they stay at my house. *looks funny* Let's get these people. *points to a group of teens*

Ali DiLaurentis
*giggles* Let's move.

Sam Skinner
Oh, wait. Let's do this one. *hits her com net to bring up a hologram of a droid off of Star Wars* Now it's believable.

Ali DiLaurentis
They would be scared without it. You do it this time.

Sam Skinner
*takes the blade and hooks it to her com net then walks up to the group having the hologram follow her* Hello. I'm from the planet, Hoth, and I've come to recruit a person for the Jedi Academy. *they laugh at her and she fakes looking embarrassed* You think that.s funny huh? How about this? *turns on the blade with the safety, hits one of them, and they all jump back in fear* Who wants some? *starts laughing maniacally and they all run* Now that is perfect. *cracks up laughing*

Ali DiLaurentis
*is on the floor dying* Okay, let's go find Max.

Sam Skinner
*giggles, hits her com net, and asks where they are supposed to meet them*

Max Previarty Krinston
*replies on his com net to everyone* Meet me in front of the mall. Tallo will be there waiting for me to show up to tell me when you're all ready. *com nets go silent and then all beep an update beep saying all of them received and update*

Ali DiLaurentis
Oh boy. *she says sarcastically* Just to end our fun.

Max Previarty Krinston
*Tallo meets Sam and Ali outside the mall and Tallo looks confused*

Sam Skinner
Do you know what's going on at all Tallo?

Max Previarty Krinston
*com nets all beep to bring up a map showing where max is*

Ali DiLaurentis
*stands there quietly*

Max Previarty Krinston
*the com nets show he is right next to them although no one sees him*

Tallo Coheard
What the hell is this? I was sitting fine and he brought me here and now his map is malfunctioning.

Max Previarty Krinston
It's not malfunctioning, look up.

Tallo Coheard
*looks up and sees a shimmer* He is freaking crazy. Look there. *points up*

Ali DiLaurentis
*looks up* Yeah, that's Max for you.

Max Previarty Krinston
*a whole ship uncloaks in the sky and lands forming a 5 passenger vehicle and max steps out and the thing disappears into a stick* Talk about style huh? *shuts the stick* Newest addition to the zerox vehicles. The first portable ship for the team.

Ali DiLaurentis
Max, you just keep getting geekier and geekier.

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs* Yes I do but do you want one? I have one for each of the team members, just tell me what design you want. *takes off his backpack and opens it revealing dozens more sticks with different designs* Take one, click that button, throw it, and it forms your ship.

Ali DiLaurentis
How about I just stick to my Mustang and you stick to your whatsits.

Max Previarty Krinston
*cracks up laughing* Okay then. I guess you don't want to see my street vehicles designs *throws his stick bringing up his ship and flies it over Ali's Mustang and her car virtualizes* Now what? * her Mustang virtualizes back to where it was* Probably gonna get hit for that one later. *cloaks his ship and flies off leaving his backpack with the sticks*

Ali DiLaurentis
Oh, you know it. Or I can drive you in my car again. *smiles* Who's riding with me?

Sam Skinner
I will

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay. Any other takers?

Tallo Coheard
You mind me tagging along Ali?

Ali DiLaurentis
Sure. Just don't give me a reason to kill you. Are you ready?

Sam Skinner
*grabs Max's bag and follows Ali while digging in Max's bag to look at the designs*

Tallo Coheard
Sure. This is the last time I'm riding with you though.

Ali DiLaurentis
*smiles* We'll see about that.

Max Previarty Krinston
*everyone's com net beeps* I've been keeping a secret from everyone. You all will know my collection when you get to the factory tonight.

Ali DiLaurentis
I knew it. Everyone in. *unlocks the car*

Tallo Coheard
*gets in the car*

Sam Skinner
*gets in and hits Tallo in the face* Told you I would get you back asshole.

Ali DiLaurentis
*gets in and starts the car*

Tallo Coheard
What the hell was that for?

Ali DiLaurentis
*starts driving*

Sam Skinner
You don't remember nailing me in the face with one of your blasters on zerox? You're lucky I don't beat the shit outta you when we got out on that run. You might need a doctor for that nose too, by the way.

Tallo Coheard
Wow Sam. That was training and... *touches his nose and yells* Son of a bitch! You broke my fucking nose!

Max Previarty Krinston
*uncloaks on top of Ali's Mustang while she is driving, virtualizes the Mustang into the ship, and Ali; Tallo; and Sam show up in seats in the ship which Max is driving and Max looks over at Tallo* What happened to you? Don't worry Ali, your car is in the back, just look. It's right behind you. *points to the cargo hold*

Ali DiLaurentis
Son of a bitch Max. I wanted to drive.

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs* I need to do this first okay? *looks at them all with a serious look on his face* I found the key to beating Xana for good. It's one last run tomorrow ya?

Ali DiLaurentis
Tomorrow is fine but I would like to drive my car.

Max Previarty Krinston
*stops the ship and lowers closer to the road* Alright 3.......2........1....... *Ali, Sam, and Tallo are virtualized into the car and the car is back on the road turned on and running at 60 mph* There ya go. Meet you at the factory. *flies off in full speed to the factory*

Sam Skinner
*busts out crying and hides from Tallo's view*

Tallo Coheard
*tries to comfort Sam*

Sam Skinner
*decks Tallo in the gut and knocks the wind outta him* You of all people have no right to touch me right now.

Ali DiLaurentis
*starts driving at 90 mph to quickly get to the factory*

Sam Skinner
I'm staying in the girls lounge area tonight and I wanna talk to you later on tonight Ali ya? *wipes her face and wipes her tears off the car*

Ali DiLaurentis
I'm fine with that. *continues driving*

Tallo Coheard
So, let's see now Sam is out bronze, I'm the family dick, Max is the family nerd, and you Ali are the go to girl I'm guessing now?

Ali DiLaurentis
If you say so. Now don't distract me when I'm driving at 90 mph. Oh look, 95. Oh we're here. *drifts into the parking lot and parks into her spot*

Tallo Coheard
*gets out, walks and unlocks the gate*

Ali DiLaurentis
*slowly drives in and stops and waits for Tallo *

Tallo Coheard
*opens it up and lets Ali drive in and walks to the elevator and punches the number and gets in and waits for Ali and Sam*

Sam Skinner
*gets out and goes to the elevator and wipes her face again*

Ali DiLaurentis
*parks her car and gets out*

Max Previarty Krinston
*runs in his room and locks his door*

Ali DiLaurentis
Let's go

Tallo Coheard
*punches the code in and the elevator drops down and opens revealing box upon box upon box of the sticks that Max made. Each box labeled a different vehicle car, jeep, plane, ship, bike, etc*

Ali DiLaurentis
Oh my god. Max, you just took geek to a whole other level.

Tallo Coheard
*looks around and then looks and Ali worried* He never got like this. I've been worried cause he spends hours upon hours every day in his room and now this worries me. I think we need to talk to him soon?

Ali DiLaurentis
Yeah that would be good. Do we have a kitchen?

Tallo Coheard
Yea. It's down that way through the rooms' corridor. At the very end is another door that has food *points to the green door to the rooms hall*

Ali DiLaurentis
Yes! Food, I'm coming for you. Anyone want anything?

Sam Skinner
Sure but just a sandwich if it's okay.

Ali DiLaurentis
Yeah. Anyone else?

Tallo Coheard
Yea just the same if it's okay with ya Ali.

Ali DiLaurentis
No problem. *scurries to the kitchen* Food!

Sam Skinner
I will be in the girls' lounge Ali. *walks in and through her room to the girls' lounge area and sits on the couch in there*

Ali DiLaurentis
*makes food in 5 minutes and takes Tallo's his*

Tallo Coheard
Thanks Ali. *takes his food and heads to his room for a bit* I'm very tired. Imma take a nap after I eat. Wake me up if you need anything. I guess Max is having a hard time with something. *looks down to Max's red, locked door*

Ali DiLaurentis
No problem. *walks to her room and into the girls' hang out*

Sam Skinner
*looks at Ali and takes her food* Thank you Ali. I'm sorry for earlier, crying like that. I am just gonna miss the team and I don't know what's gonna happen to it ya know? *starts eating*

Ali DiLaurentis
*grabs Sam and holds her before she started crying again*

Sam Skinner
*holds onto Ali* Thank you.

Ali DiLaurentis
You're welcome

Sam Skinner
I wanna talk to everyone about staying a team and a family like this even after xana is gone. What do you think? *lets go of Ali* I will be right back. *walks through a door in the girls' hang out and it appears as a bathroom inside, it closes, and goes red*

Max Previarty Krinston
*finally walks outta his room with one last box but this one is different. It's labeled personal usages*

Ali DiLaurentis
*silently waits for Sam*

Sam Skinner
*door goes green and Sam walks out and asks what Ali thinks of the idea of keeping the team together*

Ali DiLaurentis
I think it's a great idea.

Sam Skinner
Do you wanna help me talk to the boys about everything including that memorial idea you have?

Ali DiLaurentis
Yeah, definitely.

Sam Skinner
So, let me show you something about this room ya?

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay.

Sam Skinner
*hits a button on the wall and a flat screen TV come out of the wall and so does a few racks of DVDs and a TV box*

Ali DiLaurentis
Oh wow. I should totally bring some gaming systems that I own.

Sam Skinner
Yea I know right and check this out. *grabs the remote to the TV and hits a button and it comes up with a security cam of the boys' lounge and the main room* My idea for this one and no they don't have this either.

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs* Do they know about this?

Sam Skinner
Oh hell no. You think they would allow it? Tallo was sleeping one day and I hit his com net and got it to put the camera in. *laughs* I'm not the nicest but I am good at not getting caught.

Ali DiLaurentis
You and I both. Do we have popcorn?

Sam Skinner
Ya we do. It's in the pantry in the kitchen room. The door is sill unlocked too. Imma finish eating. *takes a bite of her sandwich* Hey Ali. I will tell you something later tonight okay?

Ali DiLaurentis
*gets up and starts walking out* Okay.

Sam Skinner
*turns to watch the TV since Tallo just entered the boys' lounge area* This might be good.

Tallo Coheard
*goes in the lounge holding a box marked private*

Ali DiLaurentis
*sticks around* I'll get popcorn after this.

Tallo Coheard
*looks at the door to the boys' lounge to make sure Max isn't coming in and then proceeds to open his box revealing a journal and letters*

Ali DiLaurentis
*looks closer* What is that stuff?

Sam Skinner
*clicks the remote to zoom in on the box and they both find it's a journal and letters that are from some sort of family and watch as Tallo opens his journal and begins to write in it* Gosh Tallo you're so dead. I'm gonna find that box of yours and use that to my advantage.

Ali DiLaurentis
Well, let's think about this for a second. *pauses* Actually no, I want to know some dirty secrets.

Sam Skinner
Ya exactly and let's get into his room so that we can see where he puts his box of secrets huh? *clicks the remote and it brings up a view of Tallo's room beside the view of the boys' lounge* Oh man. Are you in trouble Tallo?

Ali DiLaurentis
I want to get it. *starts getting up*

Sam Skinner
Where are you going? You know you can't access the boys' lounge.

Ali DiLaurentis
Just watch the screen. I just have to dress appropriately.

Sam Skinner
Okay then. *looks back and sees Tallo is putting up his box in his room* I know where he puts it now, Ali.

Ali DiLaurentis
*starts getting into a red and black suit with rubber red gloves* Okay. I'll see when I come back in there.

Sam Skinner
*yells* Okay and by the way, what movie are you gonna wanna watch later?

Ali DiLaurentis
Probably 10 Things I Hate About You if we have it.

Sam Skinner
I don't know. We have so many movies, I don't remember them all anymore.

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs* alright then

Max Previarty Krinston
*Max is seen on the security camera taking. Walking in the boys' lounge and taking a box outta the lounge and into his room*

Ali DiLaurentis
Did you see that?

Sam Skinner
I did. *hits the button to go to Max's room and they see him talking to a hologram. They can't see who the hologram is yet though* Okay, this is weird.

Ali DiLaurentis
Definitely. I'm getting in there.

Sam Skinner
Okay, well, remember I can see and hear everything right now if you go in there to talk to him.

Ali DiLaurentis
Who said I was going to talk to him? I'm going to see who he's talking to.

Sam Skinner
Okay. Take this with you then *hands her a ball* It's a camera. Give it a quick, very light squeeze and it turns on and I can see what you're seeing and hearing okay?

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay. By the way, this suit *points at what she's wearing* makes me invisible. I can't be detected by anyone.

Sam Skinner
How?

Ali DiLaurentis
I have connections.

Sam Skinner
Alright. You can use the vents to get over there if you can fit.

Ali DiLaurentis
I can fit.

Sam Skinner
Okay but just be careful with your hair and boobs around the fans. Trust me. It really hurts getting one of those caught in a fan

Ali DiLaurentis
Oh lovely.

Sam Skinner
Okay and look at this on your com net. It's the ventilation system of the entire factory. You will notice most of the lines run to the super computer collate room. Do not go there. The gasses in the vents there are toxic. *hits her com net and sends the map to Ali's com net*

Ali DiLaurentis
Cool. Anything else?

Sam Skinner
Nope. Have fun and take pics. *giggles and opens the vent in the girls' lounge up for Ali* there you go.

Ali DiLaurentis
*climbs in* Oh and while I'm at it, I'll grab Tallo's box

Sam Skinner
*cracks up laughing* That would be amazing but not right off the bat. He is still writing in his journal in the boys' lounge.

Ali DiLaurentis
Trust me I got this.

Sam Skinner
I trust your judgment. Now go. I am watching you as you go for your information.

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay. *starts crawling then turns on the invisibility* Invisibility on

Sam Skinner
Okay. *starts talking to herself and zooms into a multi-view of all the cameras in the factory including hers*

Ali DiLaurentis
*continues crawling until she gets to Max's room*

Tallo Coheard
*stops writing in his journal and puts his box back up in his room and walks to start playing games in the boys' lounge*

Max Previarty Krinston
*Max is visibly seen from Ali, talking to a hologram of his cousin who died in zerox as if the hologram was real*

Ali DiLaurentis
Sam, what's going on with Tallo?

Sam Skinner
*hits her com net and replies* he is playing Skyrim in the boys' lounge. He put his secret box up in his closet on the top view. It has a secret panel you push.

Ali DiLaurentis
Thank you. *drops into Max's room. Sends Sam a message asking if she can see what's going on and who he's talking to.*


Sam Skinner
*replies back saying she can see and hear everything just doesn't know who that is, although she can see it clearly*

Tallo Coheard
*pauses the game and heads to the bathroom*

Sam Skinner
*sends a message to Ali saying Tallo is in the bathroom now*

Ali DiLaurentis
*sends a message to Sam saying roger that*

Sam Skinner
*sends a message* "Who is it he is talking to? I know what he is saying but who is it?"

Ali DiLaurentis
*sends a message* "Not sure but I'm going to head to Tallo's room."

Sam Skinner
*sends one back with a pic of where he hid the box*

Ali DiLaurentis
*climbs back in the vent and gets to Tallo's room*

Sam Skinner
Okay now you gotta be careful. The code I remember him punching into that panel was 6284.

Ali DiLaurentis
No problem. Where is he?

Sam Skinner
He is in the bathroom getting out and getting back on Skyrim and don't worry about being heard. He has a headset on chatting with others.

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay. *jumps down into Tallo's room*

Sam Skinner
Okay. Get that box and get out. I'm nervous about this.

Ali DiLaurentis
I'm not. As long as he's distracted and I stay invisible.

Sam Skinner
I think Max is becoming more and more creepy and nerdy by the day.

Max Previarty Krinston
*an audible sound can be heard through the entire factory and Max starts up another one of his vehicles specifically a car without the need of wheels*

Ali DiLaurentis
Keep an eye on Tallo please. *types in the password*

Sam Skinner
No worries. He is still playing games but Max is in his closet. I guess he has a secret room in his closet. I don't know.

Ali DiLaurentis
I wouldn't doubt it. *grabs the box* I got it.

Sam Skinner
Okay. Get back here I wanna see some of this stuff. *opens Tallo's door for her to get out* Told you I am not that bad with sneaking around. I can hack into anything but the lounge rooms. Max has those locked up real good.

Ali DiLaurentis
Unless you sneak in through the vents. *laughs and hurries to the girl's lounge*

Sam Skinner
*closes Tallo's door and puts his security back online and laughs* You and I make a good team.

Ali DiLaurentis
Hell yeah.

Sam Skinner
Okay. Now let's see what good dirty secrets Tallo has. *pulls out his journal*

Ali DiLaurentis
*sits next to Sam and goes through it with her*

Sam Skinner
Oh, look at this one. *reads it out* Today was the first day I met her. I've been meeting up with her in the zerox system for days now. None of the other members know. It's my and her dirty secret but it's the only way I get to see her.

Ali DiLaurentis
I wonder who that's about.

Sam Skinner
I don't know but I wanna find out how she is accessing the zerox system. It sounds like this girl and him are dating.

Ali DiLaurentis
It's weird. It's dated sometime after I started the team though.

Sam Skinner
I know it concerns me to whom it may be too. I know it isn't me. Ew. Just that thought messes with me. Here is another one. * reads it aloud* First kiss with her and I know it's fast and all but I feel close to her.

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay. It's definitely not me because I don't remember kissing him.

Max Previarty Krinston
*Max is seen coming out with another box of vehicle sticks from his closet*

Ali DiLaurentis
I swear Max just keeps getting nerdier and nerdier.

Sam Skinner
True and it seems to me, honestly, that he has a huge project he is working on or something. He never works this hard on anything. *finds the name of Tallo's girl he is meeting up with* Mikayla? Who the hell is that?

Ali DiLaurentis
Not sure but it sounds familiar.

Sam Skinner
Ugh. Why can't he just tell us straight up, "yes I'm dating and I'm using the supercomputer to see her '' Ugh. Never mind. I wanna see these letters. *takes one and sees it's from Tallo's mom* Wow. This is interesting. Here Ali.

Ali DiLaurentis
*looks away from the journal to the letters* What is it?

Sam Skinner
*looks at the rest real quick* These all say it's from Mom to Max. You need to read these.
The thing is Tallo's mom died when he was 2.

Ali DiLaurentis
Oh wow.

Sam Skinner
*reads the one with the oldest date* Tallo, I wish I could have seen you graduate or help you through anything you need but with the series of these letters, I might be able to help you. Also, I have talked to a friend of mine so that I could later on help you with certain things. This journal is all I can give you along with these. These are made to help you. Also, the guy's name is Franz Krinston. You will soon meet him and his holographic images as he is fixing to sell them later on. You need to see him. *looks at Ali* Franz Krinston is Max's father.

Ali DiLaurentis
I figured. *goes through the journal some more*

Sam Skinner
Ali, I think Max has been keeping things from everyone. Not just his little projects.

Ali DiLaurentis
I don't know but last I checked, family doesn't keep secrets especially not this big.

Max Previarty Krinston
*Max is visibly seen walking back out of his closet with a robot and a flying droid*

Sam Skinner
*starts to cry* Imma just go for a bit. Can you please come with me to talk to Max for a sec please?

Ali DiLaurentis
Yes, of course.

Sam Skinner
*starts walking to the main living room for the team and screams for Max and Tallo* Max ..Tallo! Get your asses out here!

Max Previarty Krinston
*runs out and meets Sam in the main room as Tallo runs out too*

Ali DiLaurentis
*Awkwardly stands to the side*

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at Sam, studying her every action and move* Are you okay Sam?

Ali DiLaurentis
*is in the corner with the most shadow and stands there*

Sam Skinner
*punches max and breaks his nose* That's for keeping secrets and this crap *points to the boxes* is something the entire team should have known about.

Max Previarty Krinston
*grabs his nose and watches Sam's every move* Again I ask. Is there more you're keeping down? Please speak your mind.

Tallo Coheard
*looks at Sam then at Ali, real worried and steps back out of Sam's range* I would like to know everything too, Sam. You haven't said a word to any of us about anything for the past 5 months since ..... never mind, I understand now. *looks at Ali* It's something to do with him isn't it? *points to the computer*

Ali DiLaurentis
*slowly turns on her invisibility suit and disappears*

Max Previarty Krinston
I need you, Ali, and Tallo to come with me. I have been meaning to show all of you something and now is as good of a time as any.

Sam Skinner
Please Ali?

Ali DiLaurentis
*becomes visible again* Okay.

Max Previarty Krinston
Come with me please and do not touch anything down here without me saying first. *leads them to his room and he opens his closet, punches the wall, and a keypad opens. He punches a code in and the whole wall opens revealing a flight of stairs down to an old steel door* Right this way.

Sam Skinner
*follows Max and is having tears roll down her face just not fully crying at all*

Max Previarty Krinston
*grabs some tissue and sticks it in his nose* This stuff down here is very personal to me and please don't touch. *looks at Ali questioningly as he leads the group down the stairs and into his personal room which they are greeted by two androids marked Krinston Corp. on them* Stand down access 92567. *the droids walk outta the way. The entire room is seen and a huge designing room with a holographic meeting room designed into it with a garage in the back full of the latest model cars he designed that look like Mustangs and expensive sports cars* Here you are. My personal designing room. *whispers to Ali* I'm sorry.

Ali DiLaurentis
And you're sorry why?

Max Previarty Krinston
You have to go through all this. I saw you try to leave earlier with the invisibility suit you have on and I do understand if you want to leave the group because of this night. *looks down and heads to his hologram room and turns it on* Please. Can you all come in? I want you to meet the head of Krinston Corp also known as my dad who invented the company. You know now as Techni-pad Corporation. *starts dialing a number in the hologram room's dial pad and hits call* Please, all of you step in.

Sam Skinner
*steps in trying to stop crying*

Ali DiLaurentis
*steps in and hugs Sam* I just turned invisible. I wasn't planning on leaving. *looks at Tallo* I don't scare that easily.

Max Previarty Krinston
Okay, well, he just answered so let me introduce my dad, the head CEO of Krinston Corp. *a hologram comes up of Max's dad and he talks to Max a bit* Okay guys, he has a few things to explain to you okay?

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay.

Max Previarty Krinston
*Max's dad explains that he was the one who started building and started the blueprints for the quantum computer and that he had started the blueprints but never had thought that it would get built especially from kids and he has been needing to talk to Tallo for years now and have a hologram video for him from his mom right after she had him*

Ali DiLaurentis
*awkwardly stands there still holding Sam trying to calm her down*

Max Previarty Krinston
*Franz asks what's wrong with Sam and asks Ali if Sam would like to talk to him about Max*

Ali DiLaurentis
*looks at Sam for an answer *

Sam Skinner
*shakes her head but whispers to her to see if Ali will stand by her and to see it the others will leave*

Ali DiLaurentis
*nods to her to show her that she will stand by her and asks the others about the request Sam made*

Max Previarty Krinston
*Max leaves and so does Tallo then Franz asks what it is about Max that she need to talk about*

Sam Skinner
*holds onto Ali and explains that Max is keeping things from her and that he seems so ready to end everything with the computer and she doesn't want to have the group depart and was really hurt when she found out max was keeping secrets at all*

Ali DiLaurentis
*holds Sam and stands there to being moral support*

Sam Skinner
I just really don't know what to do and the fact that I want to create a memorial for a friend we lost in the digital sea a year ago and i don't know what to say to bring anything up.

Ali DiLaurentis
Why don't I help you with that? I'll call a team meeting after this and help you explain.

Max Previarty Krinston
*Franz explains, "he is my boy too. If you would like me to help explain this to him and talk to him about this stuff I can if you would like honey? And your name is Sam Skinner right?"*

Sam Skinner
*shakes her head yes while starting it cry again* Thank you. Both of you.

Ali DiLaurentis
*pulls her in again*

Sam Skinner
This team is my family. Okay? That's why it hurts me so bad. My mom and dad are both dead, my grandparents don't want anything to do with me, I have no siblings, and I don't know any of my cousins biologically so, this team is my family, literally. I have nowhere else to live. This factory is my home. I do go to school but it's still becoming home and I'm used to fending for myself with two other boys until you showed up, Ali.

Ali DiLaurentis
Well, if you'd like you can come live with me. I have plenty of room.

Sam Skinner
*looks at Ali* Do you live by yourself? If not, what about your parents and family?

Ali DiLaurentis
Yeah, I live by myself. My mom passed away and my dad took off with my brother.

Sam Skinner
Well, I do not want to be a burden on you. How old are you exactly?

Max Previarty Krinston
*Franz tells Ali that he will pay Ali's extra expenses for having Sam live with her and any extra food that Sam needs and that all Ali needs is to mail him the receipts and the bills before and after and he will send a check to her courtesy for Krinston Corp.*

Ali DiLaurentis
It's not a burden on me. I inherited money from passed relatives so I can pay everything. That's how I have all these things. I'm 19 years old.

Sam Skinner
I'm a year younger than you and I would still want this team to stay a team and the factory to still be our team HQ. I still wish to keep this team a team. Maybe, we could do something with the super computer as a game or something but I still don't understand why you're so nice to me. *wipes her face and looks at Franz* Thank you.

Ali DiLaurentis
Sam. Girls gotta stick together no matter what. We can try to keep this place but if you like you can still live with me. I've got 20 different rooms in my house and I'm willing to give one to you. You can decorate it however you want.

Sam Skinner
Thank you, Ali, very much and I really do want to keep this. Maybe even renovate it a bit later on

Max Previarty Krinston
*Franz explains now that he knows about everything that's going on he will be more than willing to buy the entire factory and put it under the Zerox teams name so that its legally theirs to do whatever they want with including make it an entire game from the supercomputer like Sam specified* Do you mind us coming back in, Sam? *knocks on the door*

Sam Skinner
*giggles while wiping her face* Can you let them in? *takes a tissue out of her pocket as a few tears roll down her face still*

Ali DiLaurentis
*pats her head and giggles with her*

Sam Skinner
*looks at Franz* Sorry for breaking Max's nose though.

Max Previarty Krinston
*Franz laughs. "No worries. I was gonna do it myself after hearing what you just told me"*

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs*

Sam Skinner
*hugs Ali a bit* When should I move my stuff to your place?

Ali DiLaurentis
Whenever you want.

Sam Skinner
Thank you and I have got to get it ready by the time school starts. Yes, I'm still in high school. I got held back a year and I'm a senior. Max has already graduated though.

Ali DiLaurentis
That's fine. Do you have your licence?

Sam Skinner
I actually do but I don't have a car or anything to drive at all.

Ali DiLaurentis
Well, I have a car you can use.

Sam Skinner
Alright, it's nice and those cars Max is designing are really nice, I think, but I'm really thinking a car is better. *laughs and wipes her face and looks at Ali then yells* You can come in now!

Ali DiLaurentis
Not my mustang. I have another car that I think you'll like.

Sam Skinner
*giggles* You think that I thought you meant your mustang? Yeah, it's your baby. I know you wouldn't do that.

Max Previarty Krinston
*finally walks in and starts immediately getting yelled at by Franz and then later walks to Sam in the hologram room* Okay. So, um, anything else you need to tell me?

Ali DiLaurentis
Actually, I'm calling a team meeting after this.

Max Previarty Krinston
Okay? May I ask what about? *looks at Ali*

Sam Skinner
*looks at Ali to* I have an idea what it’s about..

Ali DiLaurentis
Sam, you know what it's about.

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at them both* Okay then.

Sam Skinner
*looks at Ali and smiles*

Ali DiLaurentis
*smiles at Sam*

Max Previarty Krinston
So, um, Dad, um, now you know everything about the factory are you gonna make me shut it down? *Franz replies that he is doing the opposite that he is going to sit and he is going to buy the factory and give it over to the Zerox team and have the Krinston Corp. pay for the entire bills and everything else they need* Wait. Really? Um, thank you. *looks at Sam and Tallo smiling* We are a team right?

Ali DiLaurentis
*awkwardly stands there *

Sam Skinner
We are a team, yes. *give a dirty look to Max then looks at Ali finally truly smiling*

Ali DiLaurentis
*smiles back at her*

Sam Skinner
I love you guys.

Max Previarty Krinston
I love you too, Sam.

Ali DiLaurentis
*awkwardly smiles*

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at Ali* So, you gonna stay with the team?

Ali DiLaurentis
Yes. Definitely

Max Previarty Krinston
*smiles and cracks his nose into place* There. Now it will heal properly.

Ali DiLaurentis
*giggles*

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at Ali then ends the call to explain to the team a few things* I'm sorry I didn't tell all of you earlier about my dad and my projects.

Ali DiLaurentis
I just got here.

Max Previarty Krinston
I'm not so concerned about you. I am talking to Tallo and Sam and to you I will tell you if any of you want any of my vehicles. Take a few of the sticks. You know how to use them.

Ali DiLaurentis
Or I can stick to my Mustang.

Max Previarty Krinston
Either one. *laughs*

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs*

Max Previarty Krinston
So, that zerox team meeting is gonna be in ten minutes. I need to clean myself up a bit. I'll meet you all in the main living room ya?

Sam Skinner
*looks at Max's nose and laughs* Sure.

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs with Sam *

Max Previarty Krinston
Okay thanks. *pulls the tissue out of his nose and he sneezes a bloody mess all over himself* Um, ya. I think I really need to clean up. *holds his nose and runs to the boys bathroom*

Ali DiLaurentis
*shouts at him* Tilt your head down not up.

Max Previarty Krinston
I know this Ali. *unlocks the boys bathroom* You wanna help me clean up here Ali?

Ali DiLaurentis
*pushes Tallo toward Max's direction*

Max Previarty Krinston
I asked you Ali because there is nothing bad in here.

Ali DiLaurentis
*pushes Tallo further*

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs* I'm only joking Ali. *laughs again*

Ali DiLaurentis
*flips him off*

Max Previarty Krinston
*closes and locks the boys bathroom* Don't worry Ali. Wouldn't ask you to help me in here anyway. *laughs*

Ali DiLaurentis
*rolls her eyes*

Max Previarty Krinston
I am gonna be out in a sec. *puts two new tissues in his nose*

Ali DiLaurentis
Max, don't forget to pinch the bridge of your nose to stop the bleeding.

Max Previarty Krinston
Thanks for the heads up Ali. *comes out with a bandage around his nose* How bad does it look?

Ali DiLaurentis
Pretty bad. Come on. Let's go

Max Previarty Krinston
Okay then. *follows Ali*

Ali DiLaurentis
*starts walking to the living room*

Max Previarty Krinston
So, what's going on?

Ali DiLaurentis
Well, first thing's first, Sam and I were talking and we wanted to discuss something with you two.

Max Previarty Krinston
So, may I ask what it's about?

Ali DiLaurentis
It's about your friend who passed away.

Max Previarty Krinston
This is actual news to me. What is it?

Ali DiLaurentis
Well, I came up with the idea of building a memorial for him here in the factory.

Max Previarty Krinston
Is that so? Um, so may I ask why?

Ali DiLaurentis
Well, I thought it would be nice to have a room just to dedicate it to him and so you guys can visit it whenever you'd like. Just to be surrounded by him.

Max Previarty Krinston
Well, I can give a room to dedicate to all who have died in Zerox. How about that?

Ali DiLaurentis
Max, you're not listening to me. We can do that but Sam really wants to do one just for him.

Max Previarty Krinston
Is that right Sam? May I ask why?

Sam Skinner
*shakes her head and turns away completely red*

Ali DiLaurentis
*touches Sam's hand and nods to reassure her that it'll be okay*

Max Previarty Krinston
May I ask why though?

Ali DiLaurentis
Sam. It's okay to tell him. I won't let him yell at you.

Sam Skinner
*Tries to talk but the words don't come out instead goes to the computer and brings up a hologram saying, "I was dating him when he died we were dating for a couple years before he died"*

Max Previarty Krinston
Okay then. How about this room? Follow me to the top floor please? *goes in the elevator*

Ali DiLaurentis
*follows but then waits for Sam *

Sam Skinner
*gets up and walks into the elevator very slowly with her head down and is visibly shaking*

Max Previarty Krinston
Sam I'm not going to yell or hurt you.

Sam Skinner
*turns her back to him while her face is beat red and she is shaking*

Ali DiLaurentis
*grabs Sam and holds her to calm her down*

Sam Skinner
*whispers to Ali* Sorry.

Ali DiLaurentis
*whispers back* It's fine.

Max Previarty Krinston
*elevator stops it opens to the top floor and Max hits his com net to undo a spectral wall to show a hallway full of rooms* You two can choose one for him if you like.

Sam Skinner
*pulls Ali with her while she exits the elevator making sure Max stays and hits the button to take Max back down*

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs and take Sam's hand* You ready?

Sam Skinner
Ya I'm ready. *walks down to the door she wants it to be at*

Ali DiLaurentis
*follows*

Sam Skinner
What about this one?

Ali DiLaurentis
Well, let's look inside.

Sam Skinner
*opes the door to find a completely clean room besides dust in a few areas* It's perfect.

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay. We'll make a blueprint on how we'll decorate it.

Sam Skinner
*still shaking* Okay.

Ali DiLaurentis
The decorating will be left to the girls, of course. It'll be fine Sam.

Sam Skinner
I want a good few walls in here. *walks out and heads to the elevator and pulls and hugs Ali* Thank you for helping me.

Ali DiLaurentis
You're welcome.

Sam Skinner
Are we going to use everything I have from him? *makes sure no one is in the elevator*

Ali DiLaurentis
Yes. Of course.

Sam Skinner
*hits the button and the elevator takes them down* Imma start putting the boxes of stuff up to that room.

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay. Do you want me to help?

Sam Skinner
*looks down and makes sure max doesn't see her* Yes I do.

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay.

Max Previarty Krinston
*tries to see Sam's face* Are you okay Sam?

Sam Skinner
I don't know *runs to her room shaking again * Damn it.

Ali DiLaurentis
*awkwardly stands there*

Sam Skinner
*starts frantically going through her closet pulling out box after box of his stuff* I'm sorry about this Ali, I really am. *pulls out a laptop case and sets is aside* That stays in here.

Ali DiLaurentis
It's okay.

Sam Skinner
*looks at Ali with her face red and brings out a box of letters and notes* This is all or at least these five boxes.

Ali DiLaurentis
Okay.

Max Previarty Krinston
*yells from the main room* I'm headed out for a bit.

Ali DiLaurentis
*yells back* Alright.

Max Previarty Krinston
*four hours pass and max runs back in* Guys get the hell in here. I have a new idea to try on the super computer.

Ali DiLaurentis
*jumps up* What is it?

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks smirk at Ali* Of course instant transmission seems impossible but hell, why not. Put this code in and send me to the mall. I really wanna see this. *hands Ali a note with a bunch of codes on it*

Ali DiLaurentis
*takes it and gets to the computer* Are you sure this'll work?

Max Previarty Krinston
Almost positive. If not, the supercomputer backs up my DNA and memories so no harm done right? *laughs maniacally and walks to a scanner*

Ali DiLaurentis
*laughs and starts putting in the code*

Max Previarty Krinston
*the virtualization starts and as soon as max is virtualized a huge alarm goes off* Um, guys. I think you either put the wrong destination in or something happened 'cause I'm on some random road. *he says in the com nets*
*looks around* Um, I definitely don't see a mall. *chuckles* I see a sign saying something called Storybrooke *sends a scan from the com nets to the team* See what I mean?

Ali DiLaurentis
It's a town. Why would it send you to a town? See if you can find anyone to help.

Max Previarty Krinston
What about a library? I see one here.

Ali DiLaurentis
There most likely would be someone there. *she said sarcastically*

Max Previarty Krinston
*walks into the library* You know I hate libraries right? *clocks his com net to mute it*

Ali DiLaurentis
*rolls her eyes*

Max Previarty Krinston
Hello and your name is? *looks at the librarian*

Belle French
Oh hello. I'm Belle. Who are you?

Max Previarty Krinston
I'm Max. Might I inquire where exactly am I in the world?

Belle French
You're in Storybrooke.

Max Previarty Krinston
Yes, I figured that but may I ask exactly on the map I am? *pulls up a holographic map of the United States*

Belle French
Oh um, just a few miles or so from New York City.

Max Previarty Krinston
Thank you. *clicks his com net* I would like to be back at the lab for a sec to mark this town's coordinates. *he tells Ali through the com net*

Ali DiLaurentis
I'll start working on that. It'll take a bit though.

Belle French
What is it you have there?

Max Previarty Krinston
Okay thank you. *tells Ali* It's a thing called a com net my team of friends and I designed. Long story short, it's how I got here in the first place. *looks around the library* Is there a hotel here in ... what's the place? Storybrooke?

Belle French
There is a hotel called Granny's. It's sort of a bed and breakfast but by the sound of it, your friend might have you back sooner than you think. *smiles*

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs* Maybe I will give them some time though. Do they accept credit here in this town?

Belle French
I'm not sure. We haven't exactly been around here long. It's hard to explain exactly.

Ali DiLaurentis
*continues to work and is close to finishing*

Max Previarty Krinston
*laughs* Something secretive about both of us apparently. *laughs again* Where is the mayor and can I get a map of the town?

Belle French
*laughs* I guess so. The mayor is not really the person to see but I do have a map. *gets a map from her desk* It's a small town so I'm sure you'll find your way around.

Max Previarty Krinston
Okay. Well, thank you very much. I do believe a proper greeting is in order then. I am Max Previarty Krinston *extends his hands for Belle to shake*

Belle French
*takes his hand and shakes it* Belle French but Belle will do.

Max Previarty Krinston
Max will do for me *clicks his com net* Are we ready yet Ali?

Ali DiLaurentis
Alright Max, you'll be zapped back in 3............ 2.............1.......

Max Previarty Krinston
*both max and Belle get virtualized back* Apparently. We do have a problem. Get the hell over here now. Tallo and Sam you too. *they come running*

Belle French
Where am I?

Ali DiLaurentis
Max, what have you done?

Max Previarty Krinston
You are in Victorville and you shut the heck up while I fix this nightmare. *yells at Ali*

Ali DiLaurentis
*throws a knife and barely misses him* Yell at me again and next time I won't miss.

Max Previarty Krinston
*cracks up* Take it out on Tallo. You come with me. I need to get you some clothes since you were never virtualized too. *points at Belle*

Ali DiLaurentis
I'll take her. I'm sure I have better clothes to offer her than you. By the way, I'll take it out on the person who I feel I should take it out on. Come with me Belle. *starts walking to her room*

Belle French
*follows her*

Max Previarty Krinston
*walks to the computer and groans and yells* Son of a bitch! * kicks the wall*

Ali DiLaurentis
*yells from the room* Calm the fuck down!

Max Previarty Krinston
*sighs* I will and where are Tallo and Sam at? *the computer replies "they have left to go get food"* Just my luck.

Ali DiLaurentis
*rolls her eyes* Okay. Well Belle, let's find something for you to wear. Anything you like?

Belle French
*looks into Ali's closet* I'm sure I'll find something.

Ali DiLaurentis
Take your time. I'm going to handle something. *walks out of the room and storms after Max*

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at Ali and sighs* I know you're going to say it. Calm down. But come on there is some random stranger in the lab and I don't even know if we can trust her.

Ali DiLaurentis
*rolls her eyes* I understand but she seems harmless.

Max Previarty Krinston
*chuckles* What is she doing? And I want us four to visit the place called Storybrooke.

Ali DiLaurentis
She's picking out clothes to wear. Why do you want us to visit Storybrooke?

Max Previarty Krinston
*stops everything and looks down* There is something different about that place. The air almost seems .... different.

Ali DiLaurentis
What do you mean?

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at Ali* You're gonna think I'm crazy but I think there is magic in Storybrooke.

Belle French
*walks out fully clothed* You're right.

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at Belle* What am I right about?

Belle French
Magic in Storybrooke. I heard your conversation while coming down the hall. Also, I'm actually one of the few people you can actually trust in Storybrooke.

Max Previarty Krinston
*almost jumps* Exactly what is Storybrooke and what do you mean actually trust?

Belle French
Storybrooke is a town that was created by a curse. Everyone in that town have all come from a place called the Enchanted Forest.

Max Previarty Krinston
*raises his head* You mean like the Snow White Enchanted Forest?

Belle French
Yes.

Max Previarty Krinston
*taps his com net which makes the computer beep and display a green set of codes* There. Now it's fixed and we can return to Storybrooke at the library and I'm also bringing my ship along too.

Belle French
Your ship?

Max Previarty Krinston
*looks at Ali and laughs when Ali gives him a look* Yes, we have one. Actually it's completely portable. Let's go get something and meet by those tube looking things we came here in okay? *runs to his room*
