Be More Chill Reacts to Be More Chill (SEQUEL)

Michael in the Bathroom

Here's the chapter you've probably been waiting for

•••

(JEREMY hides in a bathroom and sits on the edge of the tub, trying to catch his breath. Suddenly, a monster hand reaches out of the tub and grabs JEREMY, causing him to jump and scream. The trash monster stands up and takes off its costume to reveal...)

MICHAEL (SPOKEN)
Sup.

"Okay, folks. It's been fun, but I think I'm gonna head out," Michael said with a smile, standing up and walking away. Suddenly, a force pulled him roughly back into his seat. "Yeah, I didn't think so."

Jeremy frowned and hugged Michael tightly. "I can cover your eyes if you want."

"Jeremy, I know how to close my eyes."

JEREMY (SPOKEN)
Michael? I didn't know you were invited to this party.

MICHAEL (SPOKEN)
I wasn't. Which is why I'm wearing this clever disguise.

(JEREMY stares at him in silence.)

You're speechless. Squip got your tongue?

"Oooh! Burn! High five me, Michael!" Michael shouted, high fiving himself. "Thanks, Michael!"

"Dude, it'th okay to be thad," Rich whispered to him.

Michael smiled. "Why would I be sad? I have a song!"

Rich sighed.

JEREMY (SPOKEN)
It's...off.

MICHAEL (SPOKEN)

Michael felt a lump in his throat, but he did his best to swallow it down and smile.

You know, I was thinking about this moment. What I was gonna say to you? I had this really pissed off monologue. An epic journey through twelve years of friendship—

"Jesus..." Jeremy sighed, mentally kicking himself.

(JEREMY is smiling.)

What?

JEREMY (SPOKEN)
(laughing) It's just really good to see you, man.

"'Man,'" Michael laughed, mimicking Jeremy. "Who are you?"

(JEREMY tries to give him a hug, but MICHAEL pulls away.)

Jeremy hugged himself tightly.

MICHAEL (SPOKEN)
Yeah, well it won't be. Once you hear what I found out.

JEREMY (SPOKEN)
Found out?

MICHAEL (SPOKEN)
