As soon as the trio stepped into the door, Zacky felt awestruck. He had never seen so many colours in one natural setting, before. There are birds of all different colours chirping happily around, and there were also a bunch of colourful flowers and butterflies. The whole scene was beautiful.
"Whoa!" Johnny gasped. "Did we just step into Narnia, or something?"
"I dunno," Zacky replied, "but this… Well, it sure doesn’t look like the Central Park that we know and love. It looks… dare I say… better."
"Maybe we’re in heaven," Matt suggested, quietly. "I mean, I’m not that religious… or even spiritual… but it’d be nice to believe that heaven exists."
"If this is, in fact, heaven," Zacky commented, softly, "I think it’s better than the version of heaven that the… the preachers tend to present. For me, that just never sounded… appealing."
"Oh, God, I can totally relate," Johnny agreed, nodding. "From the way they describe heaven, they make it sound like we’d be… just a bunch of drones. That we wouldn’t even… have our own personalities."
"And we’re constantly on our knees," Matt added, "saying, ‘Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!’ Sure don’t sound like my idea of fun.”
With that, the trio all groaned.
"Well, anyway," Zacky suggested, glancing, "where would you guys like to go? I’d like to explore this… this piece of land… a little more."
"I dunno," Johnny replied, shrugging. "I think it really doesn’t matter where we go. What you decide I’m fine with."
"While I agree with you, Johnny," Matt commented, "maybe we should look around and see if… if the Rev is here."
Zacky’s heart made a sudden skip with his brother’s suggestion. “So you really think that we… that we… somehow entered another world?”
"Well, I don’t know any other explanation for this," Matt replied, shrugging. "I mean, I’ve always found beauty in nature - but… Well, this just doesn’t look like anything I’ve seen before."
"Matt’s right," Johnny agreed. "And I really do miss Jimmy. Even if he got a bit… rough… with me… It was all because we just… Well, we just had a special type of relationship. Not that his relationship with you wasn’t also special, but…"
"I knew what you meant," Zacky replied, chuckling a little. "Well, if you really think that Jimmy is here, then… How do we find him?"
"Well, maybe we’re not meant to search for him,” Johnny suggested. “Maybe we’re just supposed to enjoy the scenery, and…”
"But, Johnny, I…" Zacky started to say. Tears began to fill his eyes. He begin blinking rapidly, as he choked out, "I really wanna see Jimmy, if… if he’s here." A tear then slid down Zacky’s cheek, as his lips started to tremble.
"Oh, Zacky, I’m so sorry," Johnny commented, in a near whisper. He walked up to Zacky and placed an arm around his shoulder, as he added. "You have no idea how much I want this, too - but…"
"Guys, it’s my fault," Matt commented, softly. "I didn’t mean to get your hopes set up. I’m sorry for being so insensitive."
"That’s okay, Matt," Zacky replied, wiping his tears with the back of his hand. "I know you meant no harm. I guess I just got…"
"Hey!" Johnny called out, as he pointed to his left. "Is that just me, or… it there a lake in the distance?"
Zacky glanced to where Johnny pointed, and he caught a faint glimpse of sparkling blue water. “I see it, too.”
"So do I," Matt added, softly. "Maybe we should head over there. Perhaps, we can even take a little swim."
"That would be lovely," Zacky replied. "Well, then, I think we should… start walking down the trail over there. Explore more of this land. If we are, in fact, in a different world - then maybe… some higher being… sent us here for a reason."
Matt and Johnny nodded, as the trio headed towards the trail. Zacky even managed to smile, realizing that it didn’t pay to mope around about Jimmy Sullivan. Sure, it was sad that The Rev was gone - but, for better or worse, life goes on.
