Soinna peered out the window, gazing up at the huge skyscrapers in awe. She strained her eyes to see the very tops of the huge buildings. “Wow…” Soinna muttered in a subdued voice. “Those would dwarf even me, me at my normal size I mean. I never knew humans could build something so huge…” She turned her gaze downward toward the cars and vehicles, trying to spot what exactly what they were. “Say, are those the cars you told me about? They really do go quickly,” Soinna asked curiously.

“Yes, I’d love to take a look,” Soinna said eagerly, uncoiling her tail and stretching it out. She gratefully took Sarah’s hand as they left the train, thankful for a friend in this strange world.

A young man with dyed grey hair stood outside the gates of heaven, quietly cursing his luck. "This isn't right! I can't be here! Hey! Who can I talk to about this mess?! Someone!" He began frantically waving his arms.

As Sarah and Soinna walked out of the train, Sarah now noticed what looked like the equivalent of a shopping mall to their right. She was about to ask Soinna if they should either explore or go ahead and find her home when she heard someone yelling. She looked behind to see a grey haired person waving his arms, asking for someone to talk to.

"Hang on a second, I think that man needs help, Soinna." she said, walking over to the young man waving his arms. "Hey, are you alright?" she asked in concern.

The man Looked at Soinna, evidently a little bit uncomfortable. "Yeah...I think there's been some sorta mistake....I...can't be dead! How do I get back?"

Sarah was a bit confused when the man said that he couldn't be dead, the confusion showing on her face. "Um, I don't know. I don't think there is a way back. What do you mean you can't be dead?" she asked, trying to understand.

The man begins to look confused as well. "Isn't this heaven? Or...*Phew* I musta dodged a bullet! Sweet!" The man takes on a rather large smile.

Josh steps out of the train fixing his robe again looking back at the others he met on the train. "i can imagine the reaction everyone will have when they see the naga."

“I dunno, I’m interested in seeing your home, but this place looks so interesting too,” Soinna said. “Maybe we could go exploring after we visit your home.”

“Um, actually this is heaven. At least the Earth part of it,” Soinna said, slithering up next to Sarah as she went to talk to the grey haired man outside a set of nearby gates.. “I can’t think of too many places with pearly gates or angels. See?” Soinna said, pointing with her tail up at a passing angel, complete with wings and a halo.

The grey haired man listened to Soinna quietly an calmly, taking a long gander at the angel flying by. ".....Crap...." He then begins to look down quite sadly. "I can't believe I went that way.....how embarassing..."

Sarah was a bit confused as to what he meant by 'weant that way'. Of course, she also didn't understand why he didn't want to go to Heaven, either. "Well, um...after we take a look at my place, Soinna and I were gonna take a look around the place. Would you care to join us?" she asked him.

The grey-haired man simply looked a Soinna, evidently a little bit frightened. "Uhhhh....sure. Why not? I better get accustomed to my new home..." The young man then held out his hand to Sarah. "Marco. My name is Marco Nele'"

“He he he,” Soinna giggled, seeing the man’s apprehension. “You don’t need to worry about me. I won’t hurt you. It’s just that multiple worlds have the same heaven, apparently. Mine as well as yours. Anyway, I’m Soinna, pleased to meet you Marco. Let’s go find your home Sarah.”

"And I'm Sarah McNeil. It's a pleasure to meet you." Sarah said, giving Marco's hand a firm handshake. After she finished shaking Marco's hand, she looked around the city, saying, "Anyway, I don't think my home would be around here. I'm more of a country person myself. Hmm..." She then looked at a nearby sign that stated,



"Hmm...looks like we'll have to grab a taxi." she stated, looking at the oncoming traffic. Seeing a yellow car with black checkered spots, she waved her arms and yelled, "Hey! Taxi!!" Seeing her movements, the driver got off the main highway and pulled over into the area designated for parking beside Sarah and the others. The driver rolled down his window, revealing a young man with blond hair with brown eyes, smiling warmly as he asked, "Where to, miss?"

"To the rural section, please. That's where my home here is. And they'll be coming too." she stated, pointing to Soinna and Marco for a moment. "Gotcha! Go on ahead and hop in!" he said, pressing a button to open the back door for Soinna and Sarah. "You can sit in the front seat beside me so the snake lady can have room for her tail. Don't want to make my riders feel cramped, do I?" he said to Marco, pressing another button to open the door beside me.

josh had gone to a nearby building but had come out holding a box with print on top "Heavenly Delivery service" he then started looking around for a taxi. not noticing his former acquaintances getting in one not to far away.. he then started running in the rural direction.. moving at about an average pace until he got to a bridge over the main highway. dropping down on the same taxi the others were in landing on the roof. "kinda sad this is what killed me..."

“Um, okay,” Soinna said a bit uncertainly, looking first at the back seat of the cab, then at her own long tail. “Well, I’ll try,” She said, poking her body into the cab. She tried to mimic the taxi driver’s position in the seat, but that still left much of her tail trailing out of the door. She brought her tail in and tried to coil it in the back seat, all the while still leaving Sarah room to sit beside her. In the end, she had loops of her tail on her lap and behind her head, and the very end of her tail hanging out of an open window. “Ugh, this feels cramped…but I suppose I can fit after a fashion. Did I leave you enough room Sarah?”
