*A few days have passed since Kuja's party. They have managed to clean everything up, and sober up. Kuja is wearing the jacket Laurenza got him, and is admiring himself in the mirror.*
Kuja: Oh yeah, I'm so sexy.
Thorn: *Comes up behind him.* Got that right.
Kuja: You think I look okay in this?
Thorn: I think you look great.
Kuja: Yeah, I guess I do.
Thorn: *Laughs.* Vain.
Kuja: You know I am, but only because it's true. I'm so hot I could melt... something really, really cold?
Thorn: Heh heh.
Kuja: *Kisses Thorn.*
Thorn: Hmm... Nice start to the morning.
*There is a knock on Kuja's door.*
Kuja: Go away.
Lierlo: I've got some post for you.
Kuja: Slip it under the door.
Lierlo: It won't fit.
Kuja: Well, develop a shrinking ray, and make it small enough to fit under the door.
Thorn: Ahh, let's just get it. *Opens the door.*
Lierlo: This is for you, Thorn. *Hands him a package.* And here's yours, Kuja. *Tosses him a letter.*
Kuja: Hey, this would've fit under the door.
Lierlo: Thorn's wouldn't have.
Kuja: Oh, just go away.
*Lierlo leaves.*
Thorn: I wonder what this could be...
Kuja: Mail bomb. *Opens his letter.* Oh, look, I could be eligible for winning one million. Isn't that nice? *Chucks it in the bin.*
Thorn: *Opens the package to find a stuffed cow.* Oh.
Kuja: Thorn, do you have a secret weakness for cuddly toys?
Thorn: No... I've never had any... Who could have sent it?
Kuja: Look, there's a tag. Maybe it says who it's from?
Thorn: Maybe. *Reads the tag.*
*It says: 'To Thorn, lots of love from Leon, Dayne and Julian Wildfire.'*
Thorn: Any relation to Levanté?
Kuja: Same last name.
Thorn: Yeah...
Kuja: This doesn't make any sense.
Thorn: I got that when I opened the package and found a stuffed cow.
Kuja: *Checks the packaging.* Yup, it's definitely for you. Got your name and address written on it. Ooh, creepy, they know your name and address...
Thorn: And I killed someone with the same last name as them...
Kuja: Maybe it is a mail bomb!
Thorn: Err... yeah, maybe.
Kuja: *Picks up the cow and looks it over.* I can't find any hidden explosives.
Thorn: Maybe... I just don't know.
Kuja: Hey, maybe they didn't like Levanté and you were doing them a favour by killing him. So they sent you this as thanks, a... stuffed cow...
Thorn: I doubt it.
Kuja: What are you going to do with it?
Thorn: I'll just put it in my closet.
Kuja: Yeah, its big eyes are creeping me out.

*Thorn goes and puts the cow in his closet, then goes back to Kuja. When Thorn gets back into the room, it suddenly goes all dark, as if he is falling unconscious.*
Thorn: What the...?
*He is surrounded by darkness, and quiet. A light appears ahead of him. He walks up to the light. The light is coming through a gap in two doors, which Thorn opens. For some reason, he finds himself on large farm. Behind him is a barn, where he has just come from. There are another two barns nearby, and in the distance is a pigpen. Up ahead Thorn can just make out some sheep on a hill.*
Thorn: Okay...
Laurenza: *Looking angry, she comes towards Thorn. She is dressed in farmer's clothes.* Hey, chicken boy! What are you doing just standing there?
Thorn: Chicken boy? Laurenza, what is going on?
Laurenza: That's Ms. Rendemal to you, chicken boy. I'll tell you what's going on, you're gonna get fired if you don't feed those chickens.
Thorn: Where am I?
Laurenza: Did one of the horses kick you in the head?
Thorn: No... You don't understand.
Laurenza: I do understand. You're a lazy, slacking boy who is about to lose his job if he's not careful. Go feed the chickens, now, before I get really mad.
Thorn: *To himself.* I came through here... *Turns to the doors behind him and opens them.*

*Inside the barn, Thorn finds several chickens and bags of grain that are infested with rats.*
Thorn: No...
Kitzie: *Comes running in the barn. She looks very cat-like.* Meow! *She attacks the rats.*
*The chickens are frightened by her and start clucking loudly and flapping about. Kitzie purrs and rubs against Thorn's legs.*
Thorn: What is going on…?
Kitzie: Meow?
Thorn: I have to find out where I am... * He goes and explores the other barns.*

*In the second barn, he finds Lierlo brushing some horses, and talking quietly to them.*
Thorn: Lierlo...
Lierlo: *Turns around.* Hello, you're Thorn, right? The chicken boy?
Thorn: No... I came from a different reality... I'm not who you think I am.
Lierlo: *Laughs a little.* That's far-fetched.
Thorn: It's true!
Lierlo: You're a bit of a dreamer, aren't you? Sometimes I wish I was in a different reality... *He gazes longingly outside into the opposite barn.*
Thorn: *Spreads his wings.* Do I look like I work on a farm?
Lierlo: I always thought you looked a little odd when Ms. Rendemal hired you, to be honest.
Thorn: *Looks close to tears.* What's happening...?
Lierlo: *Goes back to brushing his horses and talking to them.* Do you think she'll ever notice me? I don't know, at least I've got you...

*Thorn leaves this barn and goes into the next one. In this barn, he finds Mihako the milk maid, milking a cow.*
Mihako: Well done, Daisy. You have produced 25% more milk than you did last week.
Thorn: Shall I even begin to explain to Mihako?
Mihako: Big brother Kuja will be very proud of you.
Thorn: Kuja...
Mihako: Hello, chicken boy. Would you like some milk?
Thorn: I'm looking for Kuja.
Mihako: He will most likely be on the hill with his sheep.
Thorn: Right. *Leaves and makes his way to the hill.*

*On the way to the hill, Li and Tifanel drive past in a combine harvester.*
Li: *Laughing.* "I've got a brand new combine harvester..."
Tifanel: *Laughs too.*
*Closer to the hill, Thorn comes to the pigpen. Three boys, one blonde and two dark haired, are sat on the fence.*
Blonde: All right, Thorn?
Thorn: Who are you…?
Dark Haired: Friends.
Thorn: You three... are you the ones who sent me that cow?
Blonde: Guilty! Hah hah.
Thorn: So you know I'm not supposed to be here. You know I'm from another reality to this.
Blonde: I dunno, you look like a chicken boy to me.
Other Dk Hair: Dayne, he's gone through enough...
Dayne: Aww, Leon, you know he deserves every moment of it.
Thorn: Because of Levanté?
Dark Haired: Genius.
Leon: Julian, no need to be rude.
Julian: Are you enjoying the farm life, Thorn old friend?
Thorn: Please... get me out of here.
Dayne: Let me think about it for a moment... NO!
Thorn: *Looks down at the ground.*
Julian: You gonna cry? 'Cos I don't wanna hear your blubbering.
Thorn: What do you want?
Leon: Some milk and cookies would be nice.
Dayne: Shut it, Leon.
Julian: Mainly we just want to see you suffer.
Thorn: You don't think I've suffered enough? Nightmares every night? Everything I was back then... everything I did... I'm a different person now!
Dayne: Yeah yeah, tell it to a talk show host.
Leon: You have nightmares? Poor thing...
Thorn: Okay, how about we try it this way? Return me or I will kill all of you... slowly.
Julian: Yeah, that's real smart. Kill us and you'll never get home.
Thorn: Not very good at recognising idle threats are you?
Dayne: Hah hah, and you're supposed to be the smart brother, Ju!
Julian: Shut up.
Leon: If you wanna go home, you gotta figure out how to break our spell.
Dayne & Ju: LEON!
Dayne: Traitor!
Thorn: Thanks. Much appreciated.
Julian: You're so gonna get it when we get home, Leon...
Thorn: Yeah. When you get home. Got any ideas how you're gonna get out of here?
Dayne: Don't worry about us. How are you gonna get home? *Sticks out tongue.*
Julian: You don't know, do you? Why don't you go ask your little friends for help?
Thorn: Fine. *Continues up the hill.*

*At the top of the hill, he finds Kuja the shepherd with his flock.*
Thorn: Kuja...
Kuja: What do you want, chicken boy? This is my side of the farm.
Thorn: No... Not you too...
Kuja: What is it?
Thorn: I can't handle this...
Kuja: Okay, could you go and have your nervous breakdown somewhere else? I've got shearing to do.

*Thorn starts to run down the hill, towards the only people in this world that aren't completely ignorant.*
Dayne: Okay, I win. Pay the man.
Julian: I didn't bet anything.
Dayne: But he did come back within five minutes.
Leon: He probably doesn't like this game any more.
Thorn: *Punches Leon, then Dayne, then Julian in the face.* Get... me... out of here!
Leon: *Rubs his face.* Now that isn't the way to ask for something.
Thorn: No... It's the way to demand something.
Dayne: If we told you the solution, that would be giving up. You're not a quitter, are you?
Thorn: In this case, yes.
Julian: Quitters are no fun.
Thorn: AND NEITHER IS THIS! Keeping me away from my friends, trapping me in some alternate universe, is this fun to you? A year or so ago, I thought killing people was fun. Why can't you be more like I was back then? Because I would rather be dead than stuck here!
Dayne: And that's exactly why we're doing this to you.
Julian: Killing you would be easy on you. It would be too kind. We want to torture you...
Thorn: Well you are. And you can't keep me from dying.
Leon: What?
Thorn: All I need is a raven, that's all. Simple really.
Dayne: Okay, if you really want to die.
Julian: Don't let us stop you.
Leon: Hey, now that's going a little too far...
Thorn: I said I would rather be dead than stuck here.
Dayne: If you're going to off yourself let me go get some popcorn.
Thorn: It would be a fitting punishment for what I did to Levanté... your father?
Dayne & Ju: Yes.
Leon: No...
Thorn: I'm sorry.
Dayne: Do you know how many of us there are? Six! And you left mum to look after us all on her own.
Julian: *Sideglances at Dayne.* Some need more looking after than others...
Leon: Thorn dying won't bring dad back.
Thorn: Never mind. Maybe once I'm dead you'll realise how stupid you've been in keeping me here. Lying awake every night knowing that because of your actions, someone took their own life. Think you can live with that? *Goes off.*
Dayne: Ju, I've killed someone before, haven't I?
Julian: Probably, can't remember.
Leon: I can't... I can't live with this! *Leaves the others.*

*Leon goes after Thorn.*
Leon: Thorn!
Thorn: You can't stop me.
Leon: Yes I can. I'm gonna... I might... Maybe I can't...
Thorn: You can't. But stick around. Death is a beautiful thing to witness for you and your brothers, I suppose.
Leon: Not for me. Dayne and Julian are not my real brothers; they were created from the manifestation of darkness inside of me. They thrive on things like that, but I can't... Please don't do it!
Thorn: How do you plan to make me stop?
Leon: *Looks down.* I'll help you get home.
Thorn: You will?
Leon: Just a little, you know what they will do to me if I just tell you what to do.
Thorn: Yeah...
Leon: All I'm saying is remember what we sent you, and remember all that you've seen so far.
Thorn: Thanks. *Goes to the barn that Mihako was in.*
Mihako: Hello again, chicken boy. Are you sure I cannot interest you in some milk?
Thorn: Yeah, sure.
Mihako: *Gives him a bucket of milk.*
Thorn: Hmm... Thanks. And please, call me Thorn.
Mihako: It is a pleasure, chicken boy Thorn.
Thorn: Uh... I suppose it'll do.
*Daisy the cow looks at Thorn with big eyes that creep you out.*
Thorn: Whoa... that looks just like that stuffed toy... *Thinks for a moment.* This is it... I have to destroy it somehow. *Spots a rake, goes over to it and picks it up.* Sorry Daisy. *He stabs the cow with it.*
*The side of the cow splits open and stuffing flies out of it.*
Thorn: Eh?
Leon: Well done.
*The room goes all dark around Thorn.*
Thorn: Thank you.

*Thorn finds himself lying on Kuja's bed. Kuja is clinging to him tightly, crying into his chest.*
Thorn: Kuja?
Kuja: Oh thank god, Thorn. *Kisses him several times.*
Thorn: I thought I'd lost you...
Kuja: I thought I'd lost you! Don't you ever scare me like that again!
Thorn: I won't... I'm sorry.
Kuja: You came into my room and just fell unconscious and wouldn't wake up for hours and hours... I was so scared...
Thorn: What about the times I fall unconscious for weeks on end?
Kuja: But I was thinking... maybe something happened to you because you brought me back to life... Oh, I thought all sorts of things, but it doesn't matter, because you're okay. *Hugs him tight enough to squeeze the life out of him.*
Thorn: Ow... yeah, I feel the same way!
Kuja: I don't know what I'd do without you...
Thorn: Believe me, I know how you feel.
Kuja: Do you know what happened?
Thorn: I was in this other dimension... a farm. And Levanté's sons were there... they wanted to make me suffer because of what I did to their father... I was so confused, I... I almost gave up on life.
Kuja: You almost gave up on life...?
Thorn: You were there... you didn't know who I was. Everything was lost...
Kuja: *Cries a little.*
Thorn: Hey, it's okay. I'm back now.
Kuja: *Cuddles Thorn, laying against his chest.*
