"I thought he died."

"No, he didn't die. They don't do that kind of shit. It's Happy Days."

[Beep of a button being pressed. Slurping a drink.]

"Well he disappeared."

"Yeah, they call it college. At least in TV land. Either way, after a while it didn't matter."

[More shuffling...and maybe the crinkling of a wrapper...then:]

"You seriously watched Happy Days?"

Stuck.

Stuck how?

Stuck, like, you're in a pocket dimension. The here and now, the City and beach -- really need to get to that beach -- etc., you. are. stuck.

Xander. Can you be straight with me?

If you're fucking high I won't tell anyone.

I don't get high. I've never gotten high. Don't really know what getting high is like.

So, being straight with you, no.

[Mutter mutter, fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. Sigh.]

Okay. Tell me more about this pocket dimension. Are we talking like a subspace or a multiverse? Earth-616? Give me somethin' to work with.

It's like -- parallel to what you know. It's not Earth and it's not any other world these people come from. It's its own...entity, existing on its own pulling people from their timelines and worlds.

[When he thinks about it like a comic book it makes so much fucking sense. Unbelievable fucking sense.]

How do you know all this if you've been in town for a day?

Where I come from, things happen. Magical, demonic, superhuman things. I understand the concept.

Sure as hell no California I know.

We could be from parallel California's. Or, I could be from the future. What year did you arrive here, from? And they weren't advertised. Weird stuff happened behind the scenes.
