Chapter 2: I'm Not Supposed To Be Here
The boba place is really weird looking. Like I can't see anything that resembles a boba place. All I can see are some aurora lights above me and below me, my reflection. The whole floor appears made of glass like it's a giant mirror. I decide that this must be one of those millennial boba places where they have a weird gimmick. Like instead of waitresses in maid outfits this place decided to go with looking stupid. I start walking ahead and hear a voice.
"Oh, hey Quincy".
I turn around and see that it is me amigo, Will. His fair tan skin slightly shines, reflecting the sparkling ground. He pushes up the bangs of his black hair that slightly droops over his brown eyes. My boy needs a haircut.
"Oh hey Will," I say. "How the heck do you order boba here?"
"I don't know, I was going to ask you. All I know is that this place has a weird gimmick of looking stupid."
We decide to keep walking and eventually spot a little girl smiling at us. Shemust be the cashier. She looks strange though because she has a black and purple Victorian dress topped with a jester's hat. The left half is purple and the right half is black. I don't care if a bunch of child labor laws have been violated, I want boba.
"Hi, I'll have honey milk tea with boba," I say.
"Yeah, and I'll have a taro milk tea," adds Will.
"Wait, what?" she starts.
"I SAID HONEY MILK TEA! I'M GONNA USE MY DEBIT CARD!" I yell right in her face.
The poor girl must be hard of hearing. I can't believe her parents make her dress up in a weird outfit to give us boba but the reviews said this place was good. Anyway, I give her my debit card. She holds it with this confused look on her face. Sweet Jesus, they never taught her how to use a chip reader.
"Wait, hold on, I think you two are confused," she says, handing the card back to me.
"Ah I see this place is cash only, my bad. Hey, you got any cash I can borrow?" I ask Will.
"Ugh, ok, but only this one time and you're gonna owe me," he replies.
The girl interrupts before Will could give me 4 bucks.
"Ok im just gonna stop you two idiots right now before I have an aneurysm. You two are dead."
Will and I exchange confused glances. How could I be dead? I don't remember dying at all. Like I know I'm unhealthy but I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to have a heart attack until next week.
"Hey do you remember dying?" I ask.
Will thinks for a moment, putting a finger to his chin.
"Well, I do remember hearing a truck but the next thing I knew I was here so I thought I zoned out."
Before I could respond, the girl in front of us widened her eyes in worry, like she just realized she left the oven on.
"Wait. Wait wait wait wait wait. There's not supposed to be two of you".
She turns round and paces back and forth mumbling to herself.
"Which one of you is William?" she asks.
"Um, I'm Will. How do you know my name?" Will answers.
She doesn't respond, turning her attention to me.
"Then who are you?" she asks.
"A guy that wants his damn boba already," I answer.
I didn't realize that this girl was gonna have an attitude. I came here trying to buy some boba and now I got this lolita cashier who can't use a chip reader. She looks really mad but it's obvious she's trying to hold it in. She wants to say something but it looks like getting a bad yelp review is holding her back. She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, then opens them.
"I'm Vienna. I'm one of the goddesses from the land of Westphalia. The people of that land did a ritual to summon a hero to fulfill one of their prophecies. I decided to grant it and give them a warrior. I was not supposed to have two of you here," she expounds.
"Ohhh I get it, this place is a fantasy themed boba restaurant--I got it," I realize.
"NO THIS ISN'T A RESTAURANT YOU ARE LITERALLY IN THE REALM OF A GODDESS," she yells.
"Wow. She's really devoted to her role," notes Will.
"I summoned idiots. Look William, I made a deal with your God to kill you so that I can send your soul to Westphalia to become their hero."
"Wait, so I'm getting transported to another world? Like in a light novel?" Will asks.
This man and his fantasy. This place is clearly an elaborate boba restaurant.
"Yes, I'm transporting you to another world. I asked your God who would be someone he would be perfectly fine without, and he said you--so congratulations. The other one isn't supposed to be here though. You two must have been walking next to each other when I ran you over with the truck. Ugh, I can't return him because I only made a deal to take one life. If I return the other one then your God will find out and I would have broken one of the God laws," she says.
I don't really know what's happening but she called me "other one," so I think I'm leaving that bad yelp review.
"Then can I take my friend with me? Hey, Quincy you don't mind living in another world for the rest of your life, right?" asks Will.
This poor man. He doesn't know that this is all for show. Like the Medieval times restaurant, but a lot worse.
"Sure, I'll go with you," I reply to amuse him.
I'm wondering how this show is gonna end and when I'll get my boba.
"Ok. I guess I have no other choice. William--go fulfill your destiny as a hero!" she exclaims
"And you can just be there I guess idk you'll figure it out" she adds as an afterthought.
I see a portal open up like a black hole tearing the fabric of reality. It's a really good special effect. The portal must be a fancy door that leads to our table or something.
"Oh sweet come on Quincy this is gonna be great," Will says
I shrug and go through the portal with him.
