- Aah! - Aah!
- Hi, Abby. - Bruce.
You scared me.
Are you ready to go?
There's a pretty well-rated
- Chinese restaurant... - No.
What are you still doing outside? Come in!
I thought we were going out to dinner?
I don't want to go out to dinner.
I... have a better idea.
I don't understand.
Uh, wait.
Okay.
It's that game we used to play. I get it.
That's all you have to say?
"That game"? It's Crowning Glory II!
You're-You're just still in shock. Just, here. Watch.
Though King Leonis was a fair and just ruler,
he grew vain in his old age,
"My kingdom, to be young again."
"I am the Demon King, Varu, I wish to offer you a deal, King Leonis."
In exchange for the youth of the kingdoms children...
Varu made King Leonis forever young.
Consumed by vanity, Leonis allowed the kingdom to descend
into decay and murder.
The people pray for a hero to rise to overthrow
the king and break Varu's cruel spell...
Abby...
this is our game.
I know. We used to play it a lot...
No.
Like the exact game.
I... I found it when I was cleaning out my mom's house.
Don't you remember?
Babby... Bruce plus Abby. Babby.
Our character that we created.
You did the puzzles, and I-I fought the bosses.
Yeah, I remember.
We really liked playing this game.
Liked?! We were obsessed!
We played this game every single night that summer.
Until...
Until the night Babby died.
Look...
I drove straight here from the conference
to come pick you up and get dinner.
- I've gotta prep for my presentation... - Okay, well,
if you don't wanna be here, you know, just go. I don't care.
Hey. Bruce, just... relax.
I...
I'm sorry. I'm just...
stressed and overworked.
Yeah. Of course you are.
Bruce, respectfully,
we don't really know each other anymore.
We haven't seen each other since we were kids.
I know you.
We were best friends.
And I...
I...
And I just want to save Babby... from perma-death.
Now see, in Crowning Glory II when your hero dies,
they're dead forever.
No extra lives. No... no potion.
- Perma-death. - Yeah. I remember what perma-death is.
- That's what happened to Babby. - Yeah!
Yes.
But, but what if I told you...
that Babby's still in there?
In the game.
That I found a way to bring Babby back.
Babby's bones, they're still in there,
in the Hydra's lair, right where she was killed.
Now, I read online that, that if we can take those bones
to the temple in Castle Town
with an offering of a thousand gold pieces...
the monks can bring Babby back.
They can resurrect Babby.
So...
you just need to go get the bones and take them to some monks?
Yes! It's easy! It's easy.
We just gotta beat the first quest, and do the second quest,
then the third quest, and kill the Hydra,
and then take the bones to the monks.
I've already created a new character for us.
Abbuce!
Abbuce! Get it?
A-B-B-U-C-E. Abby and Bruce!
Bruce...
I'm sorry, but I just don't think I can do this tonight.
I drove all this way. I just...
Abby, do you remember the rule?
What rule?
That if either one of us ever needed to fart
when we we're on the phone,
we had to put the phone up to our butt and fart into the phone.
Yes.
It was my idea.
It was a good idea.
You know every time I need to fart
when I'm on the phone now, I still think of you.
I'll like...
be on the phone giving a patient their blood test results
and have this instinct to put the phone up to my butt.
I never did that with anybody else.
Why did you think of that right now?
I farted under the blanket.
Oh! Well, thanks for sharing!
No! God!
Aah, dude.
_
I was really sorry to hear about your mom.
It's so weird to find out someone died on Facebook.
Really would have liked to have come to the funeral.
Your dad come?
How's he?
After the service, he was like...
"When I saw you talking to the funeral director,
"being so respectful and dressed so smart,
"I felt so proud of you.
"Like you're a real grown-up now.
Maybe I was wrong about you."
"Maybe I was wrong about you"?
- Yeah. - Wow.
- Huh. He was always... - A dick.
I was gonna say a little rough around the edges.
Wait. No, push the crown to the left.
No, no, no, the left. The left!
Shit.
Give me that.
I told you I suck at the puzzles.
- Ah! - Yeah!
- Yeah, son! - A-whoop, a-whoop, a-whoop!
- Time for the Minotaur, right? - Oh, right.
Oh. Oh, oh, oh!
Yeah!
Get... Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
Yes!
Yeah!
Thou hast freed the children of the peasantry from Varu's curse.
- Ah! - Yes!
Oh. Yes!
- No. - Oh shit. Yeah. Yeah.
Uh, ah... boom!
_
Oh...
- So, how are things with you? - Fine.
So you treat kids with cancer? Huh...
Sounds hard.
Yeah, it is.
Must be like...
just crying all the time or whatever, huh?
No. Not really.
You get kind of...
You get used to some things.
Maybe too used to them.
So... do you have girlfriend?
- Sorta. - Interesting.
- Tell me more. - Can we just...
- focus on the game. - I got this.
Come on. Give me dirt.
I dunno. I mean, she's...
like 41, and it's weird, like...
They call it a geriatric pregnancy or whatever...
Whoa! She's pregnant?
Yeah. Did I...
Did I not say that?
Uh, no.
Wow.
Is it yours?
Fuck!
- Aah, dude, we gotta focus here! - Sorry!
- Don't yell at me. - Yeah, well, don't mess it up!
- I'm doing my best. - No, you're not.
You're being all distracted
and asking me all these dumb questions and shit!
You think you can do this all loosey-goosey, but you can't!
Look, I'm trying to be nice here
and play your stupid game with you, but...
- Stupid?! - I have an actual life, so...
if you're gonna be a dick, I'm just gonna leave.
Great! Fine!
Then just, just ruin it all, again!
It's your fault, Abby!
It's always your fucking, fucking, fucking fault!
What? What's my fault?
Oh, come on. Really?
Bruce, what the fuck are you talking about?
You played that night without me.
You thought that you could beat the Hydra, but you couldn't.
And then Babby died.
- You killed Babby! - No!
You were the one who fought the Hydra by yourself.
- And you died on purpose! - What?
I would never do that!
Why-why would you even think something like that?!
I just assumed you were mad at me
because of what happened that night.
Oh, God.
Bruce, come on. I'm not stupid.
Don't play games. What the fuck is this?!
I don't know what you're talking about.
Are you serious?
- Bruce. - I guess.
That was the night your dad moved out.
Yeah, I know.
Why would I be mad at you about that?
Because of my mom.
Your mom found out that night about them.
Yeah.
Your mom and my dad?
I'm sorry.
I just assumed you knew.
When did you find out about this?
- I knew. - When?
I don't know. The whole time?
She was a single mom. I knew everything.
My dad was fucking the maid?
She was more than that to you and you know it.
Did you like...
Did you like see him a lot after that?
I sure didn't.
Did you?!
Not really.
But he helped me with med school.
Oh, so he stayed in touch with you?
You always were the smart one.
Bruce?
I'm sorry.
- Let's talk about it. - No, I got it.
You're the kid my dad really wanted.
Got it.
It's not like we had some magical, special relationship or anything.
Yeah, whatever.
Whatever.
I thought you knew.
I thought that's why you stopped talking to me.
Bruce, can we just go back?
I was having a good time, and I...
I don't have that a lot anymore.
My life is just...
It's really intense.
It's not...
It's not... fun.
Most of the time, I just feel... numb.
All right.
Fine.
Guess I'll just have to save Babby by myself.
_
Okay!
Made it through the Hydra's labyrinth!
I am at the gate to the Hydra's lair!
Gonna go through!
Here I go!
Gonna do it now...
by myself.
- Ah. - Oh, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
- Yes! - Oh! Hah!
Thou hath freed the children of the nobility from Varu's curse.
Wow.
That was...
easier than I thought it would be.
Look.
That's Babby, right?
It is!
Oh...
_
Hath thou brought a fallen hero?
- Yeah. - Yes.
Dost thou have the offering?
Yes!
Dost thou wish to attempt the resurrection of Babby?
Yes.
Thy resurrection hath failed. Baby hath become ash.
Ash?
What do you mean ash?
Wait.
It didn't work?
I didn't know that was possible.
Abby, what's wrong?
I, I...
No...
It's Babby, I'm...
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry!
It's... it's okay.
We tried. That... That's all I wanted.
Life comes and goes...
but in the hearts of the living...
those that pass live on.
Wow, Bruce.
That was beautiful.
_
Dost thou wish us to build a monument to the fallen hero?
Yes.
We should say something.
Babby was a hero,
and I always thought that was really cool.
Yeah...
Babby...
fought all the bosses,
even though it was dangerous.
Babby was awesome.
Even when she spilled Ecto Cooler
on my mom's fancy white couch and I got punished for it.
Babby made me laugh.
- And I miss that. - Mm!
And I wish we could go back.

To our last summer before it all, like, begins.
It's already kinda begun for you.
- Well, you'll totally get there. - Totally.
