Scene 5 opens with Veronica and SVF sitting in Veronica’s living room on the couch
Veronica: I want to thank you again for what you did back there for me.
Johnny/SVF: Eh, it was nothing.
Veronica: Of course it was something! That demon was about to kill me, but you saved my life! Again!
Johnny/SVF: There’s something about you that makes me want to… protect you from harm.
Veronica: Well, like I said before, I have God by my side, always, protecting me.
Johnny/SVF: Yeah.
Veronica: If I’m being honest, I never expected us to be where we are right now.
Johnny/SVF: What the hell are you talking about?
Veronica: After we ran into each other, I honestly thought you were gonna try everything you could to kill me.
Johnny/SVF: Sounds normal if you ask me.
Veronica: Well, lucky for you, I’m not normal. *giggles slightly*
Johnny/SVF: *scoffs* No one is it seems like.
Veronica: True.
Johnny/SVF: *sighs* Anyway… *stands up* Mind if I use your shower? I’ve gotta wash this blood off my face and arms and I honestly need some time to relax and clear my mind.
Veronica: Go ahead. I can wash your clothes for you if you want.
Johnny/SVF: Thanks. *walks out of the living room and into the bathroom*
Johnny/SVF: *sighs and breathes lightly while sitting on the toilet lid with the shower running*
Veronica: *walks up to the bathroom door and knocks*
Johnny/SVF: Yes?
Veronica: I was just wondering if you’d want to… um… read the Bible with me more when you’re done in there?
Johnny/SVF: Yeah. Yeah, we can do that.
Veronica: Okay. And I’m making fried egg sandwiches and smoothies for dinner.
Johnny/SVF: Sounds good. I’ll be out soon.
Veronica: *walks away from the bathroom door*
Johnny/SVF: *rubs his chin* I’ve gotta hand it to her. She’s earned my respect. *scoffs*
Veronica: *finishes drinking her smoothie*
Johnny/SVF: *walks out of the bathroom with new clothes on*
Veronica: You’re welcome… for the clothes.
Johnny/SVF: Whose clothes are these anyway?
Veronica: They were my dad’s. I figured you would fit into them since you’re about the same size as he was.
Johnny/SVF: Well, they fit me just fine. Thank you.
Veronica: I left your dinner in the kitchen on the counter next to the stove.
Johnny/SVF: Thanks. *walks into the kitchen and quickly eats his sandwich and drinks his smoothie, then walks into the living room*
Veronica: You’re already done?! How’d you eat that fast?!
Johnny/SVF: Well, I haven’t really eaten anything since I was brought back to life, and I guess I forgot about eating when Satan and his demon friends came into the picture.
Veronica: I’m just glad you were able to eat something so you wouldn’t starve.
Johnny/SVF: I appreciate your concern for my well-being, but I’m pretty sure I won’t end up dying of starvation.
Veronica: You never know. *stands up and grabs her empty plate and empty cup* I’ll be right back. I’ve gotta do the dishes.
Johnny/SVF: Wait… Veronica.
Veronica: Yeah?
Johnny/SVF: *walks over to Veronica and gently grabs the plate and cup from her* Let me do them for you. I may have saved your life once or twice, but that’s nothing compared to you caring for me and helping make me a better person.
Veronica: *stammers* I…
Johnny/SVF: Don’t worry. I won’t break anything. *walks into the kitchen and starts doing the dishes*
Veronica: *smiles* I’ll be reading the Bible while I wait for you to finish!
Johnny/SVF: Okay.
Veronica: *flips a page in her Bible and reads*
Johnny/SVF: *walks out of the kitchen and into the living room*
Veronica: *looks up at SVF, then back down at her Bible* That didn’t take you long.
Johnny/SVF: I wanted to get it done and over with. *walks over to Veronica and sits down next to her*
Veronica: In case you were wondering, I’m reading Revelation 20:1-3. It says, “Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him so that he might not deceive the nations any longer until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be released for a little while.”
Johnny/SVF: So, you’re telling me that in this great war that Satan is in with God, he ultimately loses?
Veronica: Exactly. It doesn’t matter what he does. He’s gonna lose.
Johnny/SVF: *scoffs* Well, I can’t wait for that day to come then.
Demon 3/Aaron: Satan! *runs into Satan’s apartment room, where Satan is seen sitting at a desk, brooding*
Satan: Don’t bother me right now, Aaron! That girl that Johnny was supposed to kill is caring for him! And he seems to be taking her side!
Demon 3/Aaron: That’s what I came in to tell you. That, and he also killed Martin.
Satan: I know! My slaves are failing me! And it keeps pissing me off every time I hear people preaching or reading their Bibles and sharing God’s love with others!
Demon 3/Aaron: Satan, how long are you gonna keep going after this one person? Out of everyone on this damn planet?!
Satan: I will never stop! In fact, since you seem to be so sure that things are gonna be fine with Johnny, you can go down and see him for yourself!
Demon 3/Aaron: What?!
Satan: And you better not get yourself killed too.
Demon 3/Aaron: *vanishes*
Veronica: I don’t know when The Second Coming happens, but when it does, I know where I’ll be going.
Johnny/SVF: And where is that?
Veronica: To Heaven.
Johnny/SVF: How do you know if you go to Heaven or not?
Veronica: I know that you’ve gotta have a pretty solid relationship with God and you’ve gotta live like Jesus.
Johnny/SVF: Right. Sounds like I ain’t gonna make it to Heaven then.
Veronica: That’s ridiculous. Everyone has a chance to build a relationship with God and go to Heaven with Him.
Johnny/SVF: How can I though?! I made a deal with Satan, that I eventually broke, I’ve attempted to and successfully taken lives, and not only that, but I’ve got a crazy ass temper on me! How can someone like me get into Heaven for all the stuff I’ve done?!
Veronica: Well, *flips to Deuteronomy 7:9* It says here in Deuteronomy 7:9, “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations…”
Johnny/SVF: So, God keeps covenant and steadfast love, but how does that help my case?
Veronica: Wait. There’s another verse I would like to read to you. *flips to 1 Peter 4:8, then clears her throat* “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.”
Johnny/SVF: So, to sum that up, it’s basically saying that God’s love goes to everyone? Not just those who deserve it.
Veronica: Exactly. God loves everyone, no matter what. God will love you no matter what kind of trouble you’ve gotten into or if you’ve just given away to charity. There’s nothing you can do to make God love you more and nothing you can do to make Him love you less.
Johnny/SVF: That’s definitely something to keep on my mind.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TDeS9Zfg9
