John, with the spear in his chest now being the only thing supporting his weight, whispers in his last breath before his dwindled soul starts to fade into the daylight turned sunset,
"Vee. . ."
"S-Sa-. . ."
"S a v e y o u r s e l f, m y . . . F r i e n"—
The Void Man suddenly and violently rips the spear out of John, Forcibly taking away the very last letter, of his very, last words.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO‼️‼️‼️‼️" Veronica emotionally cries out to her best friend, her memories with him flashing between her eyes hoping that her friend, although gone, can still remember those very memories they had, too.
...
who she will very, very soon... see again... in about,
*tick*
*tick*
*tick*
*tock*
Riiiiiggghhht... now.
In a sudden flash, as if she almost felt like she died, but is still, very much alive. Veronica looks around to see herself sitting down, having dinner with her friend and the monkey people...
Ooogaloo, Ragadaa, Faith, and especially...
"Heyo, Veronica!! are you okay?, John questions her, curious about the concerning looking facial expression on her face...
"Cuz you look like you've seen a ghost..."
Ragadaa then laughingly shouts out, "maybe she happened to wonder into a spooooooOooooOky caaavvee sppiirriiit!" Then they all chuckle and keep on having a good time as while for Veronica... was a really, really, REALLY... bad time.
Veronica then yells while trying to stay calm, "UMm!! ... I HAVE TO TAKE A DUMP. . . YUUuuuupppp, a BIIIIGGGG fat Dump. anyhoo, I'll Beeeeee riiigghhhtt baaacccccckkkk."
as Veronica gets up Roughly to Leave, and speedily walks away towards the path of the Wanderer Cave, John realizing that obviously, and with no doubt, she was clearly... not calm at all, asks to leave the table as Ooogaloo just humbly agrees and John goes to talk to and hopefully somewhat comfort Veronica.
As Veronica steps into the cave of wanderers and just sits down in a sad, grieving position, wrapping her arms around her legs as she sobs and try's to unravel the situation unfolding before her...
"Are we dead??!"
. . .
"Are they dead??!"
. . .
"AM I DEAD. . ."
"AM IN HEAVEN NOW?????!!"
. . .
"Nahh Girrllll", John says gracefully to Veronica.
"Yah ain't dead, Ya Silly Goof! ..." Faith chants to Vee all while also encouraging John .
They then, almost like an angel reaching out for a lost lamb, put their hand out and crazily say at the very same time...,
"Cuz We're right here. And always will be..."
"As True Friends"
Veronica then lets out a fearsome cry as she reaches and grabs John's hand lightly as she toughly pulls him in and gives our Johnny boi a big ol wholesome, and yet very soothing for the moment, ... bear hug. She then whisps softly and gratefully into John's ear,
...
"Thank you."
After a good couple seconds of friendly comforting from her friends, the trio then starts to walk back to the feast as they soon will have the very best, and hopefully not the last, main course of their days...
And just before John enters out the tunnels heading back to the main cave as Faith carries on her walk with her grumbling gut, Veronica whispers something very strange to John that he will only understand through time.
"Please, if you can...."
"Don't pick the "Shock" Gun"
"Please"
...
after John just nods in some confusion but with pure trust in her friend, he makes the decision that he will not choose the weapon he was once gonna pick, the somewhat weird, but very cool looking, ... "Shock Gun". as John speed walks back to the Feast table (faster than Veronica actually),
Veronica notices something similarly strange but very recognizable as she moves her vision more towards the strange, randomly appeared object...
"Wait a Minute..."
"Is That??!"
...
"T h e S h e l f ?"
