JANICE:

Knock it off, you.

A'?

TUCK (voice-over):

Six hours later, Alex moved.

I just got grounded for,

like, life.

(chuckles)

Me, too.

TUCK:

Might as well move now.

Not gonna be seeing anyone

for a while.

ALEX:

Yeah.

But this...

what really happened tonight--

no one knows but us.

ALEX'S DAD:

Hey, Alex!

Time to go, buddy.

A'?

I'm gonna miss you guys.

You guys smell really bad.

(chuckling)

TUCK (voice-over):

Our last night together,

we did a lot.

A whole lot.

But there's some things

we couldn't do.

Alex's parents had already

bought a new home.

Most of the neighborhood had.

Munch 's, too.

So, one by one,

people started to move.

My parents hadn't,

so we got to stay.

New people started moving in,

and Mulberry Wood

started again,

but not the one that had

my friends in it.

When you're a kid,

you think you're invisible.

You think you can't make

a difference.

We're not kids anymore.

We know now...

that we can do anything.

A'?

Having a friend light-years away

taught us

that distance

is just a state of mind.

If you're best friends,

then you always will be...

...no matter where you are

in the universe.

(ringtone chirping)

(electronic chittering)

(ringtone echoing)

(electronic whirring)

I see this life like a swingin' vine a'

Swing my heart across the line a'

In my face is flashin' signs a'

Seek it out and ye shall find a'

Old, but I'm not that old a'

Young, but I'm not that bold a'

I don't think the world is sold a'

I'm just doing what we're told a'

I feel something so right a'

At doing the wrong thing a'

I feel something so wrong a'

At doing the right thing a'

I could lie, could lie, could lie a'

Everything that kills

me makes me feel alive a'

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep a'

Dreaming about the things

that we could be a'

But baby, I've been,

I've been praying hard r

Said, no more counting dollars

We'/I be counting stars

Lately, I've been,

I've been losing sleep r

Dreaming about the

things that we could be r

But baby, I've been,

I've been praying hard r

Said, no more counting dollars a'

We'll be, we'll be, counting stars a'

Take that money

Watch it burn

Sink in the river A'

a' The lessons I learned a'

Take that money

Watch it burn

Sink in the river A'

a' The lessons I learned a'

Take that money

Watch it burn

Sink in the river A'

a' The lessons I learned a'

Take that money

Watch it burn

Sink in the river A'

a' The lessons I learned a'

(music fades)

(electronic whirring,

buzzing)

ALEX:
Guys, my just...

my phone just...

You guys got to see this.

(rumbling)

(electronic warbling)
