Smiley face!

I win, suckas!

- It's hard playing Digi-dohs with a broken arm, bro.

- Shouldn't have got it broke like a punk, then.

Maybe you just need more PEJ.

Good Digi-dohs, y'all.

- As you know, even though our school is below the line.

Thanks to Dr. Negari's generous funding and guidance,

we have been molded on Above the Line schools,

where all public schools are mandated to give

every single student an award no matter what.

Lest anyone's self-esteem fall below the level

of extremely egotistical.

And now, to introduce our valedictorian...

I'd like to bring up a pillar of our community,

Dr. Aloysius Negari!

Thank you.

At Negari Labs, we are committed to finding the best of the best,

and getting them into great institutions

for their federally mandated college experience Above the Line.

This next student has definitely gone above and beyond.

Your valedictorian, Rayna Perez.

It is because of Rayna's outstanding scholarship,

and her innovative understanding of technology

that she has been admitted to the very prestigious

Mouthdart Academy of the Limited Arts.

Rayna. Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I am so proud and honored to be your valedictorian,

but, I didn't do it alone.

I had great friends and family who helped me along the way.

My parents were simple water farmers,

but they always made sure I had a full belly,

and a roof over my head.

Thank you.

Okay, so I know it'll be difficult,

but I'll visit all the time.

And remember, I'm doing this for all of us.

After I graduate, I can get a great salary, and move us all Above the Line.

- We're proud of you. And just really excited for you to go to college.

- Don't worry about us, just get up there and get going.

Okay.

Now this is some good weed.

Steffi, you wanna hit it?

Hell yeah, dude.

Yeah.

Yeah!

- Hey, Gete. - Hey.

What's up?

- Oh, you know. Just smoking some weed with Steffi.

Oh. Hey, Steffi.

'Sup.

- Now damn, girl. - Today was a big day, huh?

You graduated with honors, I won an Emoji Dominos game.

Why you so sad, Rayna?

- Gete. I'm moving Above the Line for college.

I feel like I just have to make my own way, and...

be free.

Are you breaking up with me?

- I think I have to be open to whatever situations await me.

Screw that. You broke his heart, biatch.

- Hey. Hey, hey. - You're a biatch, Steffi!

- Ladies, ladies! - Come on, not this again, huh?!

Steffi, you need to back off!

Yeah. Whatevs, Gete.

- I love Rayna, but we need to respect her decision.

Now, you ever need anything, you know where to find me.

Actually, I don't.

You crash all over the place, and are unpredictable.

Rayna. You're here!

- Colleen, it's so nice to... - meet you in person.

I know.

Hologram hangouts are nice, but so impersonal!

Totally.

High five, roomie!

We missed!

With antics like these, I can tell

we are going to be best friends immediately.

Sure.

- My mom insisted I pack, like, 25 years worth of food.

So embarrassing.

- Moms. Can't live without them, but you'd hate to live with 'em, right?

Amazing! You are hilarious!

I already feel like we're besties!

Well, this food my mom packed is full of essential nutrients.

Feel free to have any of it at any time.

I also have tons of vitamins.

I recommend taking a multivitamin once a day, with breakfast.

I will... maybe do that.

- Anyways, my favorite band is Chillinx.

Oh yeah. She's great.

Equal to Chilinx? I love...

Hobo Railroad Project.

- Oh, my God! - Hobo Railroad Project!

Totally my favorite! Those bowler hats?

- Right? - How cute.

- Oh, we have the same musical tastes!

- We are such great friends. - Yeah.

Uh... Did someone mention my favorite band?

- Chester. This is my roommate, Rayna.

- Great to meet you. I can tell you're gonna love college,

and fit in well up here Above the Line.

What?

- Speaking of our favorite band, Hobo Railroad Project,

I have two tickets to the show tonight.

You, uh, care to join me?

- Yeah. Totally. - That'd be great.

Great.

Okay. I will see you tonight.

Pleasure meeting you.

Wow. Sparks much?

- I mean, yeah. - He's kinda cute.

We love you Hobo Railroad!

Oh, what a treat.

That was so much fun.

Chester, it was amazing seeing the Hobo Railroad Project live.

Thank you.

No prob.

How about a glass of wine?

Yeah.

- I actually stashed some Pomegranate Electrolyte Wine

that I got from my parents' vineyard down in Irmingblam.

The poms are grown in soil aerated by worms.

And well, the vines are whispered to daily.

There you are.

Cheers.

Mmm. It's really good.

So, how many sweater vests do you have?

Oh, literally thousands.

Oh... I'm sorry.

This isn't how we hook up Above the Line.

Um... But I'm excited.

I'm gonna leave the room, you're gonna stay here, and you're gonna...

Just wait, okay? Trust me. You'll like it.

- Seriously? - They don't actually have sex?

You okay?

Yeah.

- Hmm. Somebody had some fun last night.

Yeah, me and Chester.

- Say no more. - I am so happy for you.

He is the perfect guy.

Totally.

Okay.

Are you ready for your gosh-dang hazing?

Yeah, are you ready?

I'm ready.

You're gosh-dang awesome!

You're gosh-dang good at stuff!

I like you!

- I'm glad you're gonna join the frat, gosh-dangit!

I respect the gosh-dang out of you!

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.

And thank you, sirs.

Do you guys mind if we pause the hazing for just... one second?

- Of course. - Whatever you need.

Thank you.

Rayna. So embarrassing.

That was my fraternity hazing ritual.

- Oh. It just sounded like they were being really nice.

Well, of course.

No one should be bullied in this day and age,

not even in a fraternity ritual.

Oh... kay.

- Speaking of fraternities, we're having a big party at the house tonight.

Um... Love it if you came. Bring Colleen.

Sounds like fun.

- Great. I should... - Better get back, so...

- I love that gosh-dang sweater-dress!

- Not everyone can pull off a sweater-dress,

but you do, gosh-dangit! Good gosh-dang job!

You should thank my mom, she made it.

I'm so excited for this party.

- Colleen, can I tell you something?

- Rayna, you can tell me anything.

I'm literally your best friend.

- Chester is great. It's just, he never wants to have sex,

he only wants to sext.

Sweetie.

That's how a lot of us do it Above the Line.

As technology progresses, there's less and less reason

for physical intimacy.

Oh...

Ham.

I need ham.
