Welcome to Freole (Transcript)

Tommy and his friends are now at London King's Cross station heading to Freole in Suffolk. But they needed to find a platform that could help them because nobody knows Freole exists. They managed to get the tickets in advanced so now it's time to find the platform. Everyone got their suitcases with them because they knew they will be staying in the dorms.

Aimee: God, we're going to be late because nobody knows Freole exists.

Wilbur: That's cuz Freole doesn't exist to humans.

Tommy: We searched everywhere for the ticket booth and the platform that would take us to Freole, no one could help us.

George: I can, I remembered just the right area to catch our train.

Toby: Really?

George: Just follow me.

Tommy: Wait, Eryn's not here.

Ranboo: Where could that dude be?

Then, Eryn came into the station running.

Eryn: Sorry, I'm late.

Tommy: Thought you came with us.

Eryn: Mum wouldn't stop kissing and hugging me goodbye cuz I'm clearly going to college.

Toby: Wow congrats.

Eryn: So, how are we heading to Freole?

George: Yeah.

Just then, a 16-year-old Mexican kid who every suspected is also going to attend Freole went up to them.

Alex: Sorry. Hey, I'm Alex and I need you guys' help.

Ranboo: How can we help you?

Alex: Do you know the platform to Freole.

George: We will. I'm George and this is Wilbur and these are our friends who are going to be 1st years, Tommy, Toby, Ranboo, Aimee and Eryn.

Alex: Hi, nice to meet you.

Wilbur: Follow George and I.

As the 16-year-olds were following George and Wilbur, they finally reached the platform that will take them to Freole. They had to be separated in separated cars according to their Years.

George: Here we are.

Alex: Thank you.

Wilbur: We'll meet you at the station, Tommy.

Tommy: Alright.

Jack: So, are you Human-born?

Tommy: Yes.

Niki: No kidding, all of us are too.

Toby: You gotta be kidding.

Alex: No kidding.

Dylan: Where are you guys from?

Nick: Texas.

Ponk: South Africa.

Tommy: Nottingham.

Toby: Bognor Regis.

Zak: Ohio.

Jack: East Midlands.

Niki: Germany.

Alex: Mexico.

Ranboo: I moved to the UK since I was 10 and I'm American.

Hannah: Illinois.

Dylan: I am from America.

Aimee: Wales.

Tommy: Nice to meet you guys.

Alex: I wonder if we'll be roommates in the same house. I heard Freole Academy is an elite school.

Nick: We'll see about that.

Everyone boarded the train known as the Freole Express and they are off to East Anglia. Tommy plugged in his earphones into his iPod and started listening to music.

Toby: What song is that?

Tommy: All The Small Things by Blink 182.

Toby: Cool, can I listen?

Tommy: Sure.

Aimee: You guys sure love oldies.

Tommy: Yeah.

Eryn: Dude, oldies are the best songs to have ever existed.

Alex: I'd say I agree. Is that the iPod classic 2nd generation?

Tommy: Yeah, Wilbur got it for me for my birthday.

Dylan: No fair, I still have the 1st generation.

Toby: I literally saved up my birthday money just to get it.

Ranboo: How much was it?

Tommy: £306.76 just for 10 GB.

Toby: That's worth my birthday money.

Ranboo: It's like $399 in America. Still worth my birthday money.

Niki: Can't believe you guys are able to afford that, Germany had just switched to Euros and I dunno how to get an iPod at this point. I still have German Marks just to pay to go to London and then someone said 'we use Euros now' so I had to call my parents about it.

Cara: Did you at least get it?

Niki: Yeah, I did before we all switched to Euro. I also got 2nd Generation. But I didn't get a new phone.

Hannah: I sure hope this college would provide us new phones like those cool Nokias or Blackberries.

Dylan: Probably.

Ponk: For now, we're going to stick to our crap.

The rest of the journey was silent and the sun was about to set. Tommy was just relaxing and listening to some music until he fell asleep. He woke up to Aimee playfully punching his arm.

Aimee: Dude, we're here.

Tommy: Wait, really? Everything seems futuristic here.

Toby: Is this what Freole looks like?

Eryn: That's the Spirit World alright.

Tommy: Let's go.

Everyone grabbed their things and went off the train. Tommy finally reunited with Wilbur.

Tommy: Wilbur!

Wilbur: Hi Tommy.

Toby: This must be the Spirit World, right?

Wilbur: Yup, welcome to Freole.

Aimee: It looks a lot futuristic compared to London.

George: Well guys, you transported 20 years into the future. Because the Spirit World is 20 years ahead of the Human World.

Eryn: Imagine being in the future.

Wilbur: Follow us, we're going to walk to Freole Academy.

Tommy: Wow.

Toby: We probably could go shopping or something.

Wilbur: Wish we could but orientation is coming so we all need to be in the academy on time.

As soon as the group reached the academy, a man is guarding the door is there to greet the students.

Lannan: Welcome back George and Wilbur. Let me see those watches.

Aimee: The phone watches.

Lannan: You lot over there, where are your smartwatches?

Tommy: Sorry what?

Wilbur: Oh, these kids are 1st Year Human-borns so they're new to this technology.

Lannan: But at least they brought it with them, just not wearing them.

Toby took out his smartwatch from his backpack.

Toby: Wait, do we have to put these on?

Lannan: Yeah, because they help you get reminders when your next subject is along with communicating with other house members.

Aimee: Houses?

George: Yeah, like in Harry Potter.

Lannan: There are 4 houses, Aelfsiden, Ofsettung, Wenung and Ripung.

Toby: What language is that?

Niki: Sounds a bit like German to me.

Aimee: I thought it was Welsh but it sounds nothing like Welsh to me.

George: Anglo-Saxon.

Niki: Ohh.

Lannan: So, put on your watches, 1st Years and you may enter the school.

All of the 1st Years out on their watches and it shows a holographic image of their profile.

Tommy: Wow, cool technology.

Lannan: Welcome to Freole Academy, I'm Mr Lannan Eascott also known as Lazarbeam, the deputy headmaster of this academy. Leave your suitcases and bags here, we'll put them in your dorms after you're assigned.

Eryn: Cool nickname.

Toby: What about Mr Vikram Singh Barn?

Lannan: He's the headmaster of this school, you're going to see him once you enter the main hall.

Everyone entered the academy and are now at the main hall. Tommy is at the middle of the halls lining up with the other 1st Years waiting anxiously as the headmaster went on the pedestal.

Vikram: Greetings students of Freole Academy. Today is orientation which means we will be greeting the 1st Years along with giving them their elements and sorting them into their houses. This year, we got so many Human-born Spirits which is one of the most historical moments of our history and the first time in years after the 2nd Spiritual War. And as we were hoping, after we found Phil's biological son, Wilbur, we have been hoping that his youngest son, Tommy, would attend this school as a 1st Year this year.

Eryn: Is he referring to you?

Tommy: I dunno, there might be another kid named Tommy.

Vikram: So, let me start with the Human-borns, Nicholas.

Nick went to the stage nervously as Vikram assigned him.

Vikram: Mr Nicholas' elemental powers are Water and Darkness, his house is Aelfsiden. Please proceed to the Aelfsiden table with your housemates.

Karl: Hi, I'm Karl and you must be Nick.

Nick: Yeah, that's me.

Vikram: Ponk?

Ponk went on stage.

Vikram: Mr Ponk's elemental power is Fire, his house is Aelfsiden. Please proceed to the Aelfsiden table with your housemates.

Ponk: I go by any pronouns but 'he' is fine.

Vikram: This one's interesting. Thomas Simons?

Tommy: Oh my God, that's me.

Toby: Good luck.

Tommy nervously went on stage.

Vikram: You seem familiar, do I recognise you?

Tommy: I dunno what you're talking about.

Vikram: Mr Thomas Simons' elemental powers are Fire and Mind, his house is Aelfsiden. Please proceed to the Aelfsiden table with your housemates.

Wilbur: Congrats Tommy, welcome to Aelfsiden.

Tommy: Wilbur, Mr Singh seemed weird when he saw me, he thinks something's familiar about me.

Wilbur: Don't worry, he did the same to me before I learned I was a changeling. You'll soon learn more as you stay here.

Vikram: Tobias James Smith?

Toby went to the stage just to get sorted.

Toby: What do you by Tommy being familiar?

Vikram: He'll learn as he's studying here.

Toby: Alright.

Vikram: Mr Tobias James Smith's elemental power is Earth, his house is Aelfsiden. Please proceed to the Aelfsiden table with your housemates.

Toby: Yes! Can't believe we're in the same house!

Tommy: I know right?

Vikram: He must be the chosen one.

Niki: Sorry?

Vikram: Anyway, let's get to the sorting. Ms Nikita's elemental power is Water, her house is Aelfsiden. Please proceed to the Aelfsiden table with your housemates.

Niki: Strange.

Jack: I know. What's with him and Tommy?

Alex nervously went on stage.

Alex: This is giving me strange vibes.

Vikram: Mr Alexis Maldonado's elemental power is Earth, his house is Aelfsiden. Please proceed to the Aelfsiden table with your housemates.

Karl: Welcome.

Alex: This place is giving me strange vibes. Like Mr. Singh's always mentioning something about Tommy.

George: What about Tommy?

Niki: Earlier, before I was sorted, he mentioned something about Tommy being chosen.

Wilbur: Even thought Tommy's my brother.

George: You seem to treat him like your little brother so that would explain that.

Vikram: Ranboo? Strange name.

Ranboo nervously went on stage.

Ranboo: Yeah, it is I. What are you gonna do?

Vikram: Give you one or two elements and sort you into a house.

Ranboo: Alright.

Vikram: You seem unique, why are you wearing a mask?

Ranboo: Oh, erm... ebola?

Vikram: Ranboo, this isn't the 2000s and you're not in the Human world, you're in the Spirit world.

Ranboo: Are you gonna sort me or something?

Vikram: Yeah. Mr Ranboo's elemental powers are Water and Darkness, his house is Aelfsiden. Please proceed to the Aelfsiden table with your housemates.

Ranboo: Weird.

Tommy: But seriously though, why are you wearing a mask?

Ranboo: Long story.

Toby: Seriously Ranboo, you moved to Brighton when you were 10-years-old yet you didn't tell us why you wear a mask.

Vikram: Hannah?

Hannah went on stage.

Hannah: Alright, what are you gonna do?

Vikram: Give you an element and sort you. Ms Hannah's elemental powers are Water and Earth, her house is Aelfsiden. Please proceed to the Aelfsiden table with your housemates.

Hannah: Cool.

Sam: Welcome.

Hannah: Thanks.

Vikram: Eryn?

Eryn nervously went up on stage.

Eryn: Do you know who Tommy is?

Vikram: He's actually familiar, he has Phil's hair and eyes and Kristin's facial structure. They're one of the teachers here.

Eryn: Aren't you gonna go all Sorting Hat or something?

Vikram: Yes. Mr Eryn's elemental powers are Fire and Darkness, his house is Aelfsiden. Please proceed to the Aelfsiden table with your housemates.

Tommy: Welcome.

Eryn: Tommy, is it true?

Tommy: What do you mean?

Eryn: You have Phil's eyes and hair and Kristin's facial features.

Tina: If I'm honest, he does remind me of them.

Tommy: Weird. Sometimes I think I was adopted cuz I don't look like either of my parents.

Aimee: The principal gave me strange vibes.

Tommy: I know.

After the orientation and sorting, everyone had dinner and then proceeded to their dorms. The 1st years followed their fellow housemates to the Aelfsiden house. There, they met the head of the house.

Clay: Welcome, fellow Human-borns. I'm Clay but you can call me Dream.

Tommy: I'm Tommy.

Aimee: Wait, you're a Human-born too?

Clay: Yes, I am also a Human-born. Everyone in Aelfsiden house are Human-borns.

Toby: So apparently we were sorted based on our species?

George: Actually no, we are sorted based on our skills. The elite Spirits belong to Aelfsiden but it's now filled with Human-borns.

Karl: Yeah.

Toby: This school is cool and all.

Clay: Thank you. So what you'll learn won't be like your average school subjects. We have Elemental studies, Elemental training, Spiritual History, Astronomy, Spiritual Defence, Human Studies, Spiritual Technology and Anglo-Saxon.

Eryn: Pretty interesting.

Clay: 1st years, settle in your rooms.

Wilbur: C'mon Tommy, I wanna show you your room.

Tommy followed Wilbur into his room. It reminded him of his own room in Brighton until he discovered the piano and guitar in the room.

Tommy: Wow, this looks like my own room.

Wilbur: Do you like it?

Tommy: I love it.

Wilbur: I'll give you time to unpack your things, come to the common room when your ready. Oh and because we don't have classes today, you can change into your normal school. You've been in that uniform for a long time.

Tommy changed into his casual clothes and then tried to play the piano. He decided to play Creep by Radiohead.

Tommy: #When you were here before #Couldn't look you in the eye #You're just like an angel #Your skin makes me cry #You float like a feather #In a beautiful world #I wish I was special #You're so fuckin' special #But I'm a creep #I'm a weirdo #What the hell am I doin' here? #I don't belong here#

He then went to the common room where everyone else is. They are all in their casual clothes. Tommy was shocked because earlier, they were just wearing uniforms. And the fashion reminded him of back in 2002.

Tommy: Wow, didn't know you guys like to wear something old-fashioned.

Alastair: Tommy, we're all Human-borns so we came from 2002 as well.

Tommy: Awesome. Do you guys have iPods by any chance?

Floris: Who doesn't?

Toby: So, what do you guys wanna do today?

Hannah: Maybe we should play some music.

Tommy: I have the best one.

Tommy connected his iPod to a speaker and played Shout by Tears For Fears.

Wilbur: No way.

George: Didn't know you like Tears For Fears.

Tommy: Who doesn't? Oldies are the best. #Shout, shout, let it all out #These are the things I can do without #Come on, I'm talking to you, come on#

Toby: #Shout, shout, let it all out #These are the things I can do without #Come on, I'm talking to you, come on#

Karl: #In violent times #You shouldn't have to sell your soul #In black and white #They really, really ought to know#

George: #Those one track minds #They took you for a working boy #Kiss them goodbye #You shouldn't have to jump for joy #You shouldn't have to jump for joy#

Aimee: #Shout, shout #Let it all out #These are the things I can do without #Come on, I'm talking to you, come on#

Nick: #They gave you life #And in return you gave them Hell #As cold as ice #I hope we live to tell the tale #I hope we live to tell the tale#

Eryn: #Shout, shout #Let it all out #These are the things I can do without #Come on, I'm talking to you, come on#

Wilbur: #Shout, shout, let it all out #These are the things I can do without #Come on, I'm talking to you, come on#

Alex: #Shout, shout, let it all out #These are the things I can do without #Come on, I'm talking to you, come on#

Niki: #And when you've taken down your guard #If I could change your mind #I'd really love to break your heart #I'd really love to break your heart#

Jack: #Shout, shout #Let it all out #These are the things I can do without #Come on, I'm talking to you, come on#

All: #Shout, shout, let it all out #These are the things I can do without #Come on, I'm talking to you, so come on#

Clay: You sure have music taste.

Tommy: Thanks. I have a lot of 80s and 90s songs along with songs that had just been released a few years ago and recently until I ran out of storage. This iPod I got is 10 GBs.

Clay: Oh, don't worry. Your smartwatch can handle 64 GBs.

Aimee: Not even my phone could handle that.

Eryn: How do you know anything about Spiritual technology?

Clay: Studied a lot about it even though I'm a Human-born like you guys. Because I am the Head of this house, I could be able to guide you through every subject.

Hannah: Cool.

Clay: Anyways, have fun here, tomorrow's your first day. Our schedule will be sent via email.

Alex: Email?

Clay: It's just electronic mail, it'll be sent via your smartwatches.

Tommy: Alright.
