Gren waited for Lawson outside of the entrance to Epcot. She had already been through security and she stood on the side. He would know where to find her. Gren had never been happier. She lived in a small apartment; it was the first time that she had ever lived on her own. Her parents helped her with the rent. She had an internship in which she was gaining valuable experience. The internship didn't pay much, so she had a part time job on the side. She also attended college online. She was busy, but somehow, she managed to keep her Mondays free. Each Monday she and Lawson would hit one of the Walt Disney World parks. Gren had an Annual Pass because her parents were Disney Vacation Club members, and she made sure that she used it. She and Lawson would also sometimes get together during the week for dinner or a movie. Things were about to change, and at the early hour she didn't want to think about it.Lawson had quickly become Gren's best friend. She felt like she had known him for her entire life. Their feelings for each other went deeper than friendship, but they were both busy and they knew that the timing wasn't right. While Gren's parents helped her out financially and emotionally, Lawson didn't have any family because he was orphaned at an early age. He worked at a local restaurant and was putting himself through college. He also had an Annual Pass, and had been able to arrange his schedule so that he could spend Mondays in the parks with Gren.When Gren saw Lawson walk through the security line she waved to get his attention. "Sorry I'm late," Lawson said as he approached her.Hurry lets get to Test Track before the lines gets too long.They sat back because the ride had started. Gren could not stop thinking about the young woman seated behind them. The news that she had to share with Lawson also weighed heavily on her mind. Her favorite part of the ride was the end, when it looked like they were about to hit a wall but instead the car went outside and sped up to 65MPH. Gren sat back to enjoy it. As they neared the fake wall, everything started to blur.

Gren recognized Lawson's voice but wasn't sure if he was actually there, or if he had broken the law by wandering into her dream. She opened her eyes, unable to see much because of the dim light."Lawson?" Gren squinted, trying to figure out where she was. She was sure that she was in the classroom, having a dream wandered by Lawson with Hutch observing. The strange thing was that it didn't feel like a dream. Her eyes adjusted. The room was small, dirty, and musty. At the front, there was a door with bars on it. She didn't see her partner anywhere. "Lawson, where are you?""Over here." There was a hole in the wall, which someone reached through. "See my hand?" There were several smaller holes; the wall didn't seem very well built."Where are we?" Gren asked."I have no idea," Lawson replied, "but we're obviously not at the Learning Center anymore.""Is this another test?" Gren asked.Lawson sighed. "No, I think we're in bigger trouble than that.""How did we get here?" Gren wanted to know."I'm not sure," Lawson replied. "Everything is kind of blurry in my mind. I remember I stormed out of Hutch's class and went for a walk to calm down. I sat down for a little while. The next thing I remember, I woke up here. They brought you in a couple of units ago, and I've been trying to get you to wake up ever since. What do you remember?""I went searching for you, after the morning meal," Gren said, trying to concentrate. "I was supposed to meet Calli and everybody by the lake two units later. I thought you might be there, so that's where I started looking. Someone grabbed me from behind. I fought," she looked down at her sleeve, realizing that it had been torn, "but there were two of them. They put something over my face. That's all I remember.""I wonder what they want with us," Lawson said."Not wonder, wander!" A short, heavy man stood outside the door. He laughed, pleased at his own joke.
