Chapter Text
Mid meetup, they noticed clouds forming, dark, dark clouds. It had been chilly for June but really, who minds?
It’s Florida, who wouldn’t want it to be chilly during the summer? But Purpled hadn’t really looked at the weather app much, really just assuming mother nature was a little angry as some may say but, something strange happened; Snow began falling as they were walking around vlogging the three of them.
Purpled stopped in his tracks, looking at the sudden snowfall as the wind started to blow harsher. “It’s... Snowing? In, June? In Florida?” Purpled stated in confusion as he lowered his camera. Punz and Boomer were looking around in just as much confusion before Boomer spoke up.
“Yeah- What the actual fuck?” Boomer said in louder confusion.
Punz just shook his head, he had been watching the news the past few months, apparently, the earth may have been going through... Some sort of change scientists have said. He didn’t exactly believe it, he had heard that over and over whenever things went wrong slightly,
/oh the worlds ending this oh the worlds ending that/
people would say. “Maybe, we should get going back home,” Punz said turning around, walking back towards his car, nodding his head and signaling for the other two to follow.
“Punz? What the hell is this?” Purpled asked, sounding impossibly nervous, he was far from home, and hell who wouldn’t be nervous when it started snowing in June? In Florida of all places! Punz got into the front seat, Boomer in the passenger, and Purp in the back middle. Once everyone's in Punz turns on the radio, a normal song playing as they pull away before it gets interrupted by a horrible beeping noise.
/ Emergency announcement broadcast, please pay attention. We are facing nonseasonal weather conditions, the Atlantic is showing a dangerous and sudden rise in water, please evacuate out of Florida, I repeat please evacuate. /
It’s like time stopped a moment as this was said, repeated twice, and then a long final beep then the radio went silent.
No more music,
no more beeping,
no more talking,
just this horrible static.
Punz blinks out of his shocked daze before picking up speed, going to his house where he’s letting Purpled and Boomer stay. “Grab whatever you got essentials wise, we’ll- run to a Target and see what we can collect for supplies,” Boomer instructs as the other two blonde men stay silent, Purpled looking dissosociated and Punz not much different but at least Punz acknowledged him, with a nod before pulling up to his house.
Boomer and Punz went to get out but noticed Purpled wasn’t moving, but he was gripping the seat below him roughly.
Boomer looked between the two, knowing neither aren’t doing well, but making a decision. “Punz, go inside and collect what I said, whatever you think we might need or will need. I’ll- I’ll talk to Purp.” He said, sounding the most collected and serious, Punz thinks, he’s ever been;
I guess that’s what happens when the worlds en- No don’t think like that.
But as Punz walked in, Boomer crouched in front of the back door that was open, “Hey Purp, buddy can you please look at me?” He asked gently, almost like he was talking to a- Kid a kid, Purps only a kid, he’s so young yet, 17 still. The boy with purple eyes looks up at Boomer, a look of fear in his eyes that’s never been shown before. “I- Boomer, I don’t wanna die, am I gonna die?” He asks with a slight shake in his voice.
At that question Boomer's heart dropped, he’s been trying to ignore it, just keep pushing on to get home. But he understands, that terror that Purpleds feeling, he feels it too. “You’re not gonna die, c’mon we gotta get shit together,” Boomer says with a sense of finality in this voice, like he was sure everything would be okay. Purpled nodded and followed him inside, going to the guest room he was staying in and grabbing all the stuff he had plus an extra blanket.
Soon less than 20 minutes after the emergency announcement, they are all loaded in punz’s mom van and they were off.
