AVERY: Just thinking about what's next. After graduation.
OWEN: (smiling) Don't worry, we'll figure it out. We have the whole summer.
Avery nods and kicks a rock absentmindedly. The rock rolls a few feet away, revealing a strange object that is half-buried in the sand.
AVERY: (peering at the object) What's that?
Owen moves closer to examine it, and Avery stands next to him.
OWEN: (scrutinizing it) Could be a weapon.
Avery's eyes widen in concern.
AVERY: Should we call the police?
OWEN: (nodding) Yes, we should.
Avery furrows her brow in thought.
AVERY: But what if it's something else, something harmless?
OWEN: (skeptical) Like what?
AVERY: (determined) Let's find out.

OWEN: (looking up from the object) This thing is really cool. I wonder where it came from?
AVERY: (furrowing her brow) I can't seem to find anything online. It's like it doesn't even exist.
Owen picks up a sketch pad and starts drawing the object while Avery continues her research.
OWEN: (gesturing to his sketch) Maybe someone made it?
AVERY: (typing furiously) I have no idea who, but I'm determined to find out.
Cal enters the bakery.

AVERY: (grateful) Thank you, Noah.
NOAH: (smiling) Of course, Avery.
OWEN: (breathing heavily) That was too close.
CAL: (happy) We're doing well as a team.
The sound of screeching tires echoes through the alley and fades off. A black car disappears from sight.

AVERY: (amazed) How did you find this?
CAL: (grinning) A little creative thinking and online research.
NOAH: (smiling) We couldn't have done it without all of us working together.
They navigate through the lab, following clues, reassembling puzzle pieces. In the final room, they find an object that confirms their suspicions.
OWEN: (astounded) That's it.
AVERY: (determined) The object we thought was dangerous.
CAL: (smiling) And it’s not a weapon.
RAY: (curious) Then what is it?
The group examines the object and pieces together what it is with a newfound understanding.
NOAH: (amazed) It's a prototype device, designed to combat climate change.
AVERY: (proud) And it was invented by my late grandfather.
OWEN: (reverently) He wanted to leave a legacy of helping the planet for future generations.
CAL: (inspired) And we will continue that legacy.
RAY: (confident) We'll use our skills and resources to make a meaningful impact.
Their conversation is interrupted by the sound of the door opening. A shadowy figure steps in, the same mysterious person who watched them on the beach and at the festival, but this time they wear a fedora and sunglasses.
MYSTERIOUS FIGURE: (smiling) Avery, Owen, and friends. I've been watching you for a while.
AVERY: (cautious) Who are you?
The mysterious figure takes off their sunglasses and fedora, revealing themselves to be an older man known to Avery and Owen’s family. He’s wearing a black suit with a fedora hat and a sly smile.
FRIEND OF GRANDFATHER: (revealing identity) A friend of your grandfather's. I knew you'd be the ones to find his device.
OWEN: (curious) How did you know?
FRIEND OF GRANDFATHER: (mysteriously) Your grandfather was always one step ahead of everyone. He had a sixth sense about the future.
In the end, the group walks out into the sunlight, knowing that although life is uncertain, they'll always have each other and their memories of this unique journey.
INT. AVERY’S HOUSE - DAY
Avery stands in her childhood bedroom, surrounded by memories and trinkets. She begins to pack her bags as Owen sits on her bed, waiting patiently.
OWEN: (gently) Avery, are you ready?
Avery turns to him, taking a deep breath.
AVERY: (sighing) I don’t know, Owen. Leaving this town feels like I’m leaving everything behind.
OWEN: (smiling) You’re not leaving everything behind, you’re taking it all with you. All the memories, the friendships, the experiences. They’re a part of you now.
Avery smiles at Owen, touched by his words.
AVERY: (grateful) Thank you, Owen. For everything.
OWEN: (smiling) Always, Avery. Together, remember?
A knock on the door interrupts them. Avery’s dad enters the room, holding a photo album.
AVERY’S DAD: (smiling) Ready to make some more memories, Avery?
Avery’s face lights up with joy as she hugs her dad.
AVERY: (happily) Yes, dad!
Her dad hands her the photo album.
AVERY’S DAD: (proudly) I made this for you. It’s a collection of all our family’s adventures and accomplishments.
Avery opens the album, flipping through the pages with nostalgia. Owen joins her, peering over her shoulder.
AVERY: (smiling) I remember this day. We went kayaking and saw a pod of dolphins.
OWEN: (laughing) And this one, we baked a cake, and it tasted awful.
Avery’s dad watches them, beaming.
AVERY’S DAD: (proudly) You two have grown so much. I’m so proud of you.
Avery and Owen exchange a glance and hold hands.
OWEN: (boldly) Avery and I have one more adventure to share.
AVERY: (nodding) And we’ll make it a memorable one.
Avery’s dad looks on, curious.
AVERY’S DAD: (inquiringly) And what’s that?
Avery and Owen share a look and break into grins.
AVERY: (grinning) We’re going to save the world.
OWEN: (determined) And continue Avery’s grandfather’s legacy.
AVERY’S DAD: (chuckling) Well, I wouldn’t expect anything less from you two.
Avery and Owen pack up their bags and say their goodbyes to her dad.
OWEN: (smiling) Till our next adventure.
AVERY: (grinning) Till our next adventure.
Avery and Owen leave her house, thrilled for the future.
As they step outside, Avery’s mom hands her a bag.
AVERY’S MOM: (smiling) I packed some snacks for your trip.
Avery hugs her mom tightly.
AVERY: (gratefully) Thank you, mom.
Outro: The camera pans out to the street, where Avery and Owen are saying goodbye to their friends. In the background, a mysterious figure watches them from afar, hinting at more adventures to come.
