As the trio continued floating high in the air, Bean's lament about the lack of rum and her longing for Mora hung in the atmosphere like a raincloud.
Bean: (Sighs) We're out of rum. I miss Mora. And why did we toss that chamber pot overboard?
Zog: (Cheerful) Ah, cheer up, Beanie. We've got a picnic basket here.
With excitement, Zog opened the basket, expecting to find a delicious treat. However, what he discovered inside was far from appetizing.
Zog: Oh, there's yummy funnel cake under this mold.
Y/n(Alva): (Grinning) Yeah, let's just hope it doesn't make your tummy go... (mimics groaning)
Bean's mood took a slight turn for the better when she noticed something intriguing.
Bean: Wait a minute, look at this. It's the stience map!
Zog examined the map with great enthusiasm, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Zog: (Pointing) Ooh, we can grab brunch at Cheese Land, dessert at Fudgeville, and a peppermint Frappuccino at Yum Yum Island. Oh, wow, that's a... Wait, Dreamland's on here. If we get hooked on these little arrows, they could give us a ride!
Bean: And we're just two inches from home.
Zog: (Excited) Alright, which of these ropes takes us to Fudgeville?
Y/n(Alva) knew that Zog's enthusiasm was leading them astray, and he couldn't help but interject.
Y/n(Alva): Hold on a minute. I don't think any of these ropes will take us to Fudgeville. In fact, I'm pretty sure we'd just be plummeting to our deaths.
Before they could process this revelation, a goon seemingly dropped from the sky, landing on top of their hot air balloon with a thud. Y/n(Alva) acted quickly, reaching for an expendable hook and expertly knocking down the goon along with his dagger. However, in the process, the hook tore a hole in the balloon, causing it to start plummeting toward the ground.
Bean: (Panicking) We're falling! We're falling!
Zog: (Clutching the map) No! Not before I get my Frappuccino!
Zog: Where the hell are we?
Bean: Oh, no, Maru.
They all climbed into the mysterious temple. As they entered, they found themselves cornered by a group of menacing goons, seemingly trapped. But to their surprise, the wall behind them suddenly opened, revealing a strange and mystical force that pulled them inside. As they were pulled, Y/n reverted to his original form.
Weird Woman: Follow us, Bean and two other Beans.
They obediently followed the two strangers into an unknown area.
Zog: Uh-oh, a few old ladies.
Old Ladies: Save us, Tiabeanie! Save us! Save us! Save us!
They clung to Bean desperately.
Bean: Seriously, do you guys not understand boundaries?
Lightning sparked from her hand.
Prudence: Welcome back to Maru, Tiabeanie. I am Prudence, Queen of the Crone. That's just an honorable title because we've got nothing.
Y/n: More like Queen of the Old.
Bean: I remember you. You're that lunatic who scratched my arm.
Prudence: My scratching days are behind me. (She reveals her missing arm)
Zog: Wow, what doesn't get chopped these days?
Y/n: A penis. (He receives shocked responses from the others)
Prudence: I believe there's something in that sack for me?
Bean then pulled out two arms resembling the strange old arms, which could belong to Prudence.
Bean: You mean those old lady arms?
Prudence: Put them on me, please.
Bean: I'm not sure...
Bean reluctantly placed the arms on Prudence's shoulders, and to everyone's surprise, they attached seamlessly.
Bean: Oh my god, it's working.
She then put the other arm on Prudence.
Bean: Oh my god, I've healed, I'm pretty good.
Prudence: Yes, your powers are strong but unfocused, Tiabeanie. You must beware of the curse of unintended consequences. Heed this warning, lest you kill the one you love.
Bean: That sounds just like what Malfus told me.
Prudence: Malfus? That creep is my ex-husband. He's been on the lam for decades just to avoid paying 30 bucks a month alimony.
Bean: So, can you teach me how to kill the one I hate?
Prudence: When the student is ready, the teacher appears. (She spins around) And here I am.
The conversation continued with a mix of hilarity and absurdity. To Y/n's surprise, his uncle Herg and brother Vien were also present. Herg insisted they needed to come up with a plan to stop Lissa, emphasizing her evil nature. Y/n, with a hint of annoyance, told him to shut up.
Herg: We must stop Lissa! She's pure evil!
Y/n: (Rolling his eyes) Herg, she's not pure evil. She's just... mostly evil.
Herg: Mostly evil is still too evil!
Y/n: Whatever. Let's just focus on getting Bean's powers under control.
Bean: (Eager) Yeah, teach me your crone magic, Prudence!
Prudence: (Mischievous grin) Well, Tiabeanie, first you must learn the sacred art of...senior discounts.
Prudence led the group to what she called their "oasis of silence and reflection."
Prudence: This is our oasis of silence and reflection.
Zog: (Spotting a monkey) Look at this cute little monkey. I like monkeys.
The monkey suddenly jumped onto Zog, unleashing a fury of attacks before scampering away.
Prudence: Don't fondle the monkeys unless they fondle you. Long ago, Maru was a beautiful place full of giant mice and natural magic. Then your mother's insane family seized control. They squeezed all the magic out of the land and its people.
Zog: Becky's bad. Dagmar's worse, but Cloyd, there's something really wrong with that guy.
Y/n: Yeah, if you ask me, he may have a few screws loose in his head.
Prudence: Then your mother continued ruling with devil magic. By making a deal with hell.
Bean: So my black lightning is evil.
Prudence: Are you Dagmar's first-born daughter?
Bean: Yes.
Y/n: In fact, she's her only daughter.
Prudence: Then yes.
Bean: I knew it.
Y/n: (Chiming in) But it doesn't matter. Bean's not evil, and she's going to use her magic for good.
Zog: We believe in you, Bean.
Bean: (Slightly sarcastic) Well, I hope you're right.
Prudence: (Switching gears) This senior-only food court is all that's left of the real Maru. The early bird special tastes lousy, but the price is right. Tiabeanie, hone your powers and make Maru great again. Only then can you finally defeat Dagmar.
Bean: Okay, I'll stay.
Prudence: Let's begin calisthenics!
Bean: I thought this was magic training.
Prudence: Sorry, I used to be a gym teacher. (Blows whistle) Now, give me a lap.
Bean was determined to control her emotions and magic, with Y/n cheering her on. However, things didn't go as planned, and her attempt at black lightning ended up causing a fire in the surrounding trees.
Zog: You missed.
Prudence: Let's go somewhere less flammable, shall we?
As they moved to a safer location, Y/n transformed back into his Alva persona. Vien, Y/n's brother, couldn't help but comment on the change.
Vien: Hey, he turned back into a witch!
Y/n(Alva): I'm not a witch; I'm a scientist. It's called "science."
Y/n(Alva) then revealed a sack full of mechanical parts and gears he had brought with him. The idea of combining science and magic piqued Bean's interest.
Bean: stience and magic combined? That could be perfect. Imagine what we could do together, Alva.
Y/n(Alva): (Smiling) Indeed, Bean. Together, there's nothing we can't achieve.
Vien chimed in with curiosity, "So, what exactly are you planning, Alva?"
Bean and Y/n(Alva) began brainstorming ideas, blending their different approaches to problem-solving. The group could feel the sparks of creativity in the air as they contemplated the possibilities of merging science and magic.
Bean: (Enthusiastically) Picture this, we create a magical contraption powered by stience that can harness the most potent spells and use them for the greater good.
Zog: (Scratching his head) So, it's like a magical blender for good deeds?
Bean: (Nodding) Exactly!
Vien: That sounds interesting. But how do we start?
Y/n(Alva): (Pulling out a blueprint) We begin with a plan, a blueprint, and a touch of stience.
As they delved deeper into their project, the group's chemistry grew stronger. They were not just allies; they were a team with a common goal. The absurdity of the situation mixed with their unique personalities made for a truly disenchanting adventure.
Prudence led Bean to a more suitable practice area for her magic, away from flammable trees. Bean took a deep breath and charged her hand, ready to unleash her power. She released it with a burst, and a powerful bolt of black lightning shot towards a wall, leaving a scorch mark.
Bean: (Excited) Did you see that, Prudence? I'm getting the hang of this!
Prudence: (Proud) You're improving, Tiabeanie. Just remember, control your emotions, and you'll master it.
Y/n(Alva), now in his green shirt and lab coat, was hard at work constructing various mechanical robots that could aid them in their battle against Dagmar and Lissa. The clanging of metal and whirring of gears filled the air as his creations took shape.
Bean couldn't help but be intrigued by the stience unfolding before her eyes.
Bean: (Impressed) Alva, you're like a mad scientist, and I love it!
Y/n(Alva): (Smiling) It's not madness; it's the beauty of stience.
Vien and Herg, Y/n's brother and uncle, were watching the creations with mixed feelings. Herg, unfortunately, couldn't resist the urge to express his outdated views.
Herg: (Skeptical) Women and science, what's this world coming to?
Y/n(Alva): (Annoyed) Herg, shut up with your bigotry. Bean's skills are invaluable to us.
Bean: (Defiant) Damn right! I'm a stientist!
Zog, on the other hand, was simply fascinated by the mechanical wonders taking shape.
Zog: (Excited) These contraptions are fantastic! Can they do tricks?
Y/n(Alva): (Grinning) Of course, they can, King Zog. Watch this!
One of the robots performed an elaborate dance routine, leaving Zog in stitches.
Zog: (Laughing) That's my kind of magic!
Bean couldn't resist the allure of Y/n(Alva) in his lab coat. She approached him with a mischievous grin.
Bean: (Playfully) You know, Alva, that lab coat really suits you. It's... making my heart race.
Y/n(Alva): (Flattered) Well, in the world of stience, we do have a tendency to raise heart rates.
Their flirtatious banter was interrupted by Vien, who had been quietly observing the scene.
Vien: (Chuckling) Looks like someone's got a crush on the scientist.
Bean: (Blushing) Shut up, Vien!
As the day turned into night, the lab was filled with laughter, sparks of magic, and the clank of machinery. Bean, Y/n(Alva), and their newfound allies were determined to combine their strengths, whether through magic or stience, to face the challenges ahead. With each passing moment, their bond grew stronger, and they were ready to take on whatever Dagmar and Lissa had in store for them.
Bean found herself running through a deserted arena, her black lightning zapping statues left and right. She was on a mission, determined to impress Prudence and prove herself.
Bean: (Panting) Take that, statue! And you! And... oh, that one's already down. Impressive, huh?
As she continued her rampage, she was pelted by sticks thrown by her allies, and one hit her square in the head.
Bean: (Annoyed) Hey! Okay, I'm still alive!
Taking cover, she resumed her destructive spree, obliterating more statues with her erratic black lightning.
Afterward, Bean returned to Prudence, eager to hear her evaluation.
Bean: (Excited) So, how'd I do? You can say I was amazing; it won't go to my head. Well, it might. It already is.
Prudence, however, didn't seem pleased with the results.
Prudence: (Disappointed) Well, you did kill all the bad people with gusto. But you also killed half the good people with just as much enthusiasm.
Bean: (Deflated) Dang.
Zog, attempting to comfort her, pointed out a minor achievement.
Zog: (Supportive) You did good, Bean. You only got hit by that one ashtray.
Prudence's disappointment grew, and she confronted Bean harshly.
Prudence: (Stern) You're a screw-up, Tiabeanie. We were fools to have faith in you. You're the one who needs a savior.
Bean: (Sarcastic) Oh, that's basically my internal monologue, verbatim. Guys, come on, I didn't kill any of you. That's got to count for something.
Prudence and the others continued to criticize her, pushing her toward a back door and outside into a vast desert.
Bean: (Frustrated) What the hell? Whatever happened to blind, misguided faith, huh?
Y/n(Alva) followed Bean outside into the desert. Bean, in her frustration, tried to blast her way back through the door, but her black lightning only ended up blowing her backward.
Bean: (Irritated) The weather report didn't say anything about flying dirt!
Suddenly, the dirt around them began to swirl and form a massive dirt tornado. At its center, a dirt version of Prudence appeared, repeating her earlier words.
Dirt Prudence: (Echoing) No matter how chaotic and destructive the storm, the eye of the storm remains perfectly calm.
Bean: (Talking to herself) Control your emotions, control the magic... control the magic... I'm outta here. I'm popular at birthday parties.
As they struggled with the dirt tornado, it transformed into dirt versions of their enemies: Lissa, Becky, Satan, Dagmar, and more. Y/n(Alva) used his "stience" to assist Bean in battling these dirt foes.
Bean: (Excited) Alva, help me out with some of that stience stuff!
Y/n(Alva): (Correcting) It's science, Bean, but sure, here's a little help.
Bean's black lightning became even more potent, and she unleashed a powerful blast that demolished the giant dirt Dagmar and dispelled the dirt tornado.
With the dust settling, Bean and Y/n(Alva) found themselves facing each other, and in a moment of triumph and relief, they shared a passionate kiss.
Bean: (Breathless) Well, I guess stience isn't so bad after all.
Their bond was stronger than ever, and they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing that they could rely on each other's unique strengths.
Lissa, fueled by her desire to eliminate Bean and Y/n, peered into the oracle fire in the city of Narva. She gazed upon the scene of Bean and Y/n in the city, plotting with Narva to carry out her sinister plans.
Lissa: (Scheming) Narva, we must ensure that Bean and Y/n's days are numbered. They threaten our rule and our ambitions.
Narva, always eager for mischief, listened attentively.
Narva: (Mischievous) Oh, I've got a brilliant idea, Queen Lissa!
Lissa: (Intrigued) Do tell, Narva.
Narva: (Grinning) Let's hire the deadliest assassin in all the land, someone so vicious and cold-blooded that even death shivers in his presence. We'll send him to Narva, and he'll bring us their heads!
Lissa loved the idea and immediately set the plan in motion. The deadliest assassin was summoned, known simply as "Black Fang." He arrived bald, with scars crisscrossing both his eyes and sharp, jagged teeth that sent shivers down the spines of those who dared to look upon him.
Lissa handed Lucius a heavy bag of gold coins, promising him the other half when he delivered the heads of Bean and Y/n.
Lissa: (Sinister) You shall be handsomely rewarded, Black Fang. Remember, I want them both dead, and their heads brought to me as proof.
Lucius: (Menacing) You needn't worry, my queen. I'm a predator like no other.
Lissa: (Pleased) Excellent. Now go, and let no one stand in your way.
Lissa then decided to pay a visit to Bad Bean, her reflection, to further her plan.
Lissa: (To Bad Bean) You see, Bad Bean, even Dagmar favors me over you. I will not tolerate any threats to my position.
Bad Bean: (Irate) But I am you! Your darkest desires, your cruelest thoughts!
Lissa: (Cold) And yet, I am the one in control.
As they spoke, a servant approached, nervously asking for a raise.
Servant: (Timid) Your Majesty, the servants were wondering if perhaps...
Before the servant could finish, Lissa's fury erupted, and she delivered a powerful whomp to the unfortunate servant.
Lissa: (Furious) How dare you ask for more? You shall receive nothing but my wrath!
Next scene.
Prudence: You have mastered your powers, and now you must save Maru!
The old lady then picked up Bean and began moving with her.
Bean: Wait, where's my dad.
Zog: Bean, over here! Help! I'm being absconded with over here!
Zog was being dragged by some goons.
Bean ran and attempted to use her black lightning, but it didn't work.
Bean: Ugh, damn projectile dysfunction!
Prudence: Perhaps you have depleted from the sandstorm, or maybe there wasn't any about it negative and positive particles, I don't know. What do I look like, a scientist?
Y/n(Alva) stepped forward, holding a contraption made of gears and wires.
Y/n(Alva): Fear not, my dear Bean, for I bring you the marvels of science! (He pressed a button on his contraption, and a powerful vacuum-like device activated, sucking the goons away from Zog.)
Bean: (Astounded) Wow, Y/n, you really do have a gadget for everything!
Y/n(Alva): (Smirking) Science is the answer to many mysteries, my love.
Vien, Y/n's brother, stumbled forward with a peculiar device of his own.
Vien: (Excited) I've got an invention too! (He activated a helmet that emitted a strange, high-pitched noise, causing the remaining goons to cover their ears and flee.)
Bean: (Impressed) Vien, you're a genius in your own unique way!
Herg, Y/n's uncle, scratched his head and mumbled to himself.
Herg: (Confused) Now where did I put my... uh, what was I looking for again?
Bean: (Giggling) Herg, always on top of things!
Y/n(Alva) patted Arthur on the back with a grin.
Y/n(Alva): Arthur, my loyal companion! You've proven your loyalty today by staying with us. What stopped you from deserting?
Arthur scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
Arthur: Well, to be honest, I did consider it. But then I thought about all the weird adventures and the laughter we've shared. Plus, I couldn't resist the lure of your amazing inventions, Y/n.
Bean chimed in with her signature sarcasm.
Bean: Yeah, who could resist the allure of "stience" and all the contraptions that go boom?
Y/n(Alva): (Chuckling) You've got a point there, Bean. Science and a bit of chaos make the world go round.
As Y/n(Alva) and Bean stealthily moved through the temple, they encountered a group of goons patrolling the area. Bean, ever confident, tried to use her black lightning, but it fizzled.
Bean: (frustrated) Magic's overrated! I don't need it to kick goon ass.
She drew her sword and lunged at the goons, displaying her impressive combat skills. With swift and precise strikes, she incapacitated several of them.
Y/n(Alva) took a different approach, using his array of science gadgets and gear. Bean couldn't help but comment with her signature sarcastic tone.
Bean: (smirking) Nice use of your "stience" there, Y/n. Keep those gears turning!
With a mix of swordplay and inventive science, they navigated their way through the temple, determined to rescue Zog and thwart the plans of the sinister forces at play.
Bean and Y/n(Alva) sprung into action, rushing to Zog's rescue as he dangled upside down over a perilous pit. Zog's cries for help were mixed with honking sounds, which only added to the chaos.
Zog: Bean! Y/n! Help! Honk, honk!
Bean: (exasperated) Dad, please, can you stop honking? It's not helping.
Cloyd's voice echoed from the shadows, chiming in with his usual smugness.
Cloyd: (mockingly) Yes, Zog, do kindly refrain from honking. It's quite the auditory assault.
Suddenly, Puppet Cloyd and Becky made their grand entrance, offering an intriguing proposition to Bean and Y/n(Alva). They suggested joining forces as a family, leveraging Bean's mystical powers and Y/n's scientific know-how to seize control of both Maru and Dreamland. Becky, always ready with a snide remark, couldn't resist a little dig.
Becky: (slyly) Do you enjoy having sand in every meal, dear?
Bean: (irritated) No, and I don't enjoy your company either.
Cloyd, on the other hand, couldn't resist bragging about his supposed belly dancing skills.
Cloyd: (enthusiastically) I teach belly dance every day of the week, except Monday. Well, maybe Monday too. Who am I kidding? It's definitely Monday.
Bean, in her typical sarcastic fashion, responded to Cloyd's offer.
Bean: (rolling her eyes) Wow, Cloyd, that's very tempting.
Cloyd eagerly sought clarification, thinking she might actually consider it, but Bean quickly dashed his hopes.
Bean: (firmly) The only people going to hell here are "You and You."
With determination, Bean and Y/n(Alva) combined their powers - Bean's black lightning and Y/n(Alva)'s array of scientific gadgets and tools. They worked in harmony to create a potent force, which they directed towards the gateway to hell. With a blinding surge of energy, they managed to seal the portal just as Asmodium's head emerged, cursing their interference.
Asmodium: (shouting) Damn you, Juanita!
Zog, now safely on the ground, let out a sigh of relief.
As the chaos unfolded, Bean seized the opportunity to deal with Cloyd and Becky. She pushed them through the oracle fire, sending them directly into Dagmar's location. She addressed her mother with a mix of sarcasm and nonchalance.
Bean: (casually) Hi, mom. Good to see you. Wish you were here.
Dagmar was taken aback by Bean's unexpected appearance, unable to hide her surprise.
Dagmar: (astonished) Bean? You're alive?
Bean: (grinning) Surprise!
However, Dagmar's initial shock quickly turned to disappointment as she assessed the situation.
Dagmar: (disapproving) You're still such a disappointment, Bean.
Y/n(Alva), who had been a crucial part of the team, chimed in.
Y/n(Alva): (defiant) Well, we may be disappointments, but at least we're still kicking.
Bean then utilized her black lightning to obliterate the oracle fire, severing the connection between Maru and Lucius.
Bean: (determined) No more oracle fire!
Lissa, who had been observing the events unfold, stepped forward to reassure Dagmar that the situation could still be salvaged. She had faith that Lucius would take care of Bean and Y/n(Alva).
Lissa: (confident) Don't worry, Dagmar. Lucius will handle Bean and her companion soon enough.
Dagmar and Lissa engaged in a tense conversation as the temple continued to collapse around them. Their exchange was fraught with tension and veiled threats.
Dagmar: (resolute) Lissa, we need to ensure that nothing gets in our way. We can't afford any more failures.
Lissa: (slyly) I understand, Dagmar. We'll do whatever it takes to achieve our goals.
Amidst the crumbling temple, Bean, Y/n(Alva), and Zog made a hasty escape, running for their lives.
Bean: (panicking) We need to get out of here, now!
Zog: (frantic) Hurry, before this whole place comes crashing down!
Their voices echoed in the chaos as they raced against time, leaving behind the collapsing temple and the dangerous forces within.
The temple lay in ruins, and as the dust settled, the Crone, who had once cursed Bean's family, spoke up.
Crone: (apologetic) You freed Maru! Sorry about cursing your family for all eternity.
Bean was understandably confused by this unexpected turn of events.
Bean: (bewildered) What?
One of the former goons who had been cursed chimed in, now relieved and transformed.
Goon: (grateful) I'm free from the curse. Thank you, oh savior. I'm pretty now.
Bean couldn't dwell on the peculiarities of the situation for long; they needed to find a way out of the destroyed temple.
Bean: (practical) So how do we get out of here? You guys got a couple of spare brooms or catapults?
Prudence, one of the Crone sisters, explained their transportation method.
Prudence: (amused) We're crones, honey, not witches. We travel in style.
With that, they unveiled a flying machine from Steamland, but Y/n(Alva) had a better idea to upgrade it. He rounded up the bots he had built and set them to work, transforming the transportation vehicle into a magnificent contraption, combining the finest elements of Steamland technology with his own mechanical genius.
Y/n(Alva): (enthusiastic) Let's make this a whole lot better!
The result was a fantastical blend of a steam-powered train and ride vehicles, a true masterpiece of engineering.
Bean marveled at the creation: (excited) "Wow, now this is what I call stience!"
Vien and Herg, Y/n's brother and uncle, were also present, witnessing the marvel of Steamland's ingenuity.
Vien: (awe-struck) This is amazing!
Herg: (impressed) I've never seen anything like it.
As everyone marveled at the transformation, a newcomer named Horenzel, a grand wizard from Y/n's kingdom, was introduced to Bean and Zog.
Horenzel: (greeting) Greetings, I am Horenzel, a grand wizard. It's a pleasure to meet you, Bean and Zog.
As everyone prepared to leave, Prudence offered Bean some unexpected words of parting.
Prudence: (straightforward) Your talent and power are only exceeded by your explosive nature. Use them wisely or not. We're done with you.
Bean, expecting some sage advice, couldn't help but comment.
Bean: (curious) Isn't this where you warn me about one more thing or tell me that I still have much to learn?
Prudence, however, seemed to have a different perspective.
Prudence: (casual) Nah, I don't think so.
With that, the newly upgraded vehicle, a testament to Y/n(Alva)'s ingenuity, started operating. Bean, Y/n(Alva), Zog, Horenzel, Vien, and Herg climbed aboard, ready for their next adventure.
But just as they were about to take off, Prudence remembered something else to add.
Prudence: (suddenly remembering) Oh wait, one more thing.
However, her voice was drowned out by the roar of the engine as they ascended into the sky.
Maru, the land they left behind, began to transform, bursting forth with lush grass and colorful flowers.
Zog, in awe of the change, couldn't help but comment:
Zog: (impressed) Wow, Maru's sprouting like Derek's mustache. I'm proud of ya, kiddo. You did good.
Bean, feeling the warmth of the moment, added her own sentiment.
Bean: (grateful) And I'm really proud you didn't fall into hell, Dad.
Zog, touched by Bean's words, couldn't resist showing his affection.
Zog: (sentimental) Oh, I love you too, Beanly.
With Maru transformed and their journey ahead, Bean and Y/n(Alva) found a moment of passion and began making out enthusiastically, engaging in some tongue wrestling, much to Zog's slight discomfort.
As Bean and Y/n(Alva) engaged in their passionate embrace, their whispered words added to the intensity of the moment.
Bean: (whispering) Y/n, I can't believe we made it through all of this.
Y/n(Alva): (whispering) We make a great team, Bean. Nothing can stand in our way.
Zog: (grimacing) Alright, that's enough of that. Save it for when we're not in the same vehicle.
