RIGHT
"I'm on my way! Sorry, I'm good at getting lost! I think I've been in the dark all day long... I gotta tell you if you haven't guessed from the time, this is like my 6th time in here," Parker said, "I am going to sleep so damn well tonight."
A pause. "Actually no that might be a lie, I don't think I'll be able to turn my brain off... It's been a long day" Parker said with a deep breath. "I'm... really glad I get to finish it off with you though. Seriously, really glad."

Parker went back and chose the right path and would soon find himself in the same large open space. "You have reached the center of the maze. Now you must find the exit together." Said the automated voice.
Note: Feel free to take some time here, just tag me @ admin (together of course) when you're ready to move on <3

Parker was relieved when he heard the automated voice, for the last bloody time that day hopefully.
"Hey." Parker said softly. "I found you." he said, catching a hand and holding onto it.
"So do I get that dance?" Parker's 5'9 frame is slim but not scrawny. He's toned from an active lifestyle and not working out, so he's not very cut. His hair at this point is a rather messy bedhead that he had long given up on. Parker also completely failed to find a shirt that fit him from the crew, and the crew did try, so it was his bare and naturally hairless chest but wearing shorts and flip flops. What he was able to do was put his scarf from this morning back on. The smell of eucalyptus mint was on his bare skin.

Valeria couldn't help but smile when Parker found her hand.
"Yeah- of course I'll dance with you, and I highly doubt this will be the last one," Valeria said, blinking away tears. "But first...." she said before throwing her arms around him for a tight hug. She is 5'10 and a half, leggy and athletic. Valeria's cropped hoodie exposes a nicely toned stomach. Her face is oval with defined cheekbones, framed by a slightly wavy long bob that hits right around her shoulders.
"Parker... what are you wearing? Well more like what are you not wearing?" Valeria asked as she burst out laughing and ran hand down Parker's bare back.

Parker laughed and gripped Valeria tightly, "Speak for yourself! You're only wearing like half of your shirt!" he said with a laugh. "Look I was being a gentleman right before this and the crew tried really hard to find me another shirt but that didn't work out and I didn't want to keep you waiting so all I had to put back on was this scarf I was wearing this morning."
He let go, took her hand, and if she allowed, twirled her around. "It's a long story and I don't know if you want to hear it or not."
"You're really beautiful, but I'm sure you know that. I can hear your smile."

"Well you definitely made that smile happen," Valeria said with a giddy laugh into the spin. "Ok dance machine, are you going to teach me some totally mad ballroom skills? I promise to try to not step on your feet." she said with a laugh.
Her free hand found his shoulder to rest on. "Not a prince charming my ass, this is so cinderella that I don't know if you're doing this for ironic hipster shit or not." she said with another laugh. "I'm sure I have some corny joke about how it takes two to tango but I don't remember it."

"Tango is just about counting to five in the most complicated way possible," Parker said with a laugh, "But I'm not sure I can think straight enough to count to five yet, so we'll do some waltzing around the room," At that he moved a slightly trembling hand to Val's exposed waist, and pulled her around the room in a waltz. " because waltz is only counting to three, and all you have to do is follow my lead." he said with a laugh. "I've only done the lady side a couple times, and that was mostly me just trying to follow along," he admitted.
"So ummm... I think we found a pretty good void to scream into..." he said, referring back to their first date.

Valeria laughed, "I'm pretty sure we are in the definition of a void." she said, just enjoying the moment of being pulled along with Parker's waltz. "I feel like... there are so many things I'd scream into the void... but I'm also afraid of what would come out if I did..."
"I don't know what words would come out first..." she felt tears start to form behind her eyes again. "A couple hours ago I was so sure I would know... hell like 10 minutes ago I thought I knew but now... it's getting hazy again..."
"I just..." she stopped Parker dead in their tracks, pulled him close and planted her strawberry flavored lips on his lips for a slow but urgent kiss.
Her lips were soft, not too thin but not quite full either. Then she pulled away "Sorry! I just... I... I didn't plan to... but I... I needed to know..." she said breathlessly, cheeks flushing hot. Her whole body was hot, and she wasn't sure if it was from adrenaline or embarrassment.

For once, Parker was actually at a loss for words. He didn't think, all he did was kiss her back and hold her tight, even though something told him he might be regretting this by the end of the week.
"Hey, hey it's ok... " he said before kissing her again, tangling a hand in her hair. Then he buried his face in the crook of her neck, "I'm just glad you're here right now... And I can't believe you're here."
"I am just so glad you're here," he murmured, tears springing to his eyes.

All Valeria could do was burst out into tears. It was impossible to hold back. "Oh my god Parker, I'm such a jerk," she burst out, squeezing Parker tight. "I- I almost didn't come but it was so right to come and I'm glad I did but I'm just an awful person..."
"I- Well I... It didn't... I didn't feel like I was doing something wrong... like cheating on Blake... It felt... nice... and I'm just the worst." she blurted out. "But... I love him... and there's something here for you... and I'm so sorry Parker... If it was just you and me and the void it wouldn't be a question... but I have to think about real life... and that means settling down and I know you say you're ok with it but come on Parker are you really?"

When Val started crying, Parker also started crying, "Val stop... you're not a jerk or whatever you think you are. You're... incredible and your lips are yummy and... you're kinda right." He held her as tight as she was holding him. "I wish we were in a void and we didn't have to worry about anything except what we feel for each other..." he choked out.
"I'd try, I wouldn't be perfect but I'd try to settle down if that's what would keep my person smiling, and seeing my person smile that much would be enough for me, it really would be. Val... I do want someone to help give me direction. I've never felt lost before but maybe I've never felt lost because I was too busy finding all the little pit stops... I mean I'm not ready to totally give up on my lifestyle, but... For the right person I'd make it work... Isn't that what we're all doing here anyways? Trading one love for another?" He paused to wipe Val's tears.
"But I get it. I don't want you to feel bad for knowing what you want and choosing the way that gives you everything you ever wanted. I'd be a selfish jerk if I kept you from that..."

"But we're not in a void are we? It would be so much easier if time would stop and we were right here..." Valeria said softly, "Parker... I'll always have a place for you in my heart... because it's breaking right now and I came here being fully aware that my heart could get broken... but I never imagined it would be like this..."
"Parker you need to find your person... in here or out there... wherever she is... you need to find her and I need to tell her how lucky she is, especially if she's already my friend." Valeria said, "That'll make me smile."

Parker somehow managed to crack a smile, "Well good thing for you... I have this friend and he's a doctor and he's offered to fix my heart so I don't see why he can't fix yours and I think he's just your type so let's out of here so he can do that." Parker wiped a tear off his face, took Valeria's hand, and picked a direction. "Don't worry Val, I still love you and I still believe in love" he said with a coy smirk. The Producers |

A small pinprick of green light lit up and showed them which path they needed to go down. Once they followed it they would reach their first turn. LEFT, RIGHT, or MIDDLE?
Each round going forward will consist of 2 turns. So BOTH of you should pick a direction from the 3 available options. I have a predetermined order of correct turns you need to make in the correct order to get to the end. Good luck!

RIGHT"
"Parker. You have to be honest here, how do you expect people to respond to the stuff you say? Just so full of surprises. I do have to say, I think doctor might be my type though," Valeria laughed through her tears.
She paused to hug Parker again, "Awww Parker I love you too, I'm serious when I say that... it's just... so different than how I love Blake... no matter how this all goes down, don't leave my life ok? I'm really glad I get to have this time with you... I can't go get married to someone and have that big question mark hanging over me..."

MIDDLE
"Maybe in another life..." Parker breathed into Val's hair, "Maybe in another life we can find ourselves just in the void. Nothing else would matter. No logical reasons to come between us or real life... and no blue glass walls..."
"Val, I will always be here for you unless you want me to disappear, you just have to say the word," he told her, pulling her to the next turn. "I'm not worried about seeing you smile again, not one bit, it just might not be for me and that's ok. Just know that I'll save you a smile for another life."

LEFT"
"If you try to disappear I will legit come hunt you down," Valeria warned.
"It's like we already lived a lifetime in the void with each other..." Valeria teared up yet again at Parker's words. "Why does it feel like we've already fallen in love, had our first dance, and gotten a divorce already? Because that's what it feels like to me," she added, somehow breaking into a laugh.
"I have like no sense of time in this place, It's been like 3 days and I found one of my best friends, who I've made out with, and I don't even know what color your eyes are." Val said with a laugh. "This is the craziest thing in the world"

MIDDLE
"But what if..." Parker said slowly, "What if we didn't get that divorce? What if we worked things out and grew old together? We'd go sit on mountaintops and I'd tell you I'll love you until I've run out of stars to count... two kids that go stay with my parents who would spoil the crap out of them when we want to escape..."
Parker said softly as he gripped her hand. "Would I still be a hazy blue wall or the voice in the void with you?" he asked softly.
