[ WP ] Write the third episode of non-existant series . Make us curious about what happened before episode 3 , and what happens after .

I'm sort of making a web comic but have n't been super inspired to do any of the writing, but here's how the third chapter would theoretically start ( this is far from the entire thing, but I think it's long enough for this prompt ). I would probably cut out some of the dialogue, but I love writing dialogue and had fun with this. 
 
 *** 
 
 *Outside of the MAGLEV TRAIN STATION. The day is bright. A family of four - MANNY, LORENA, SANTINO, and CARLOS - proceeds towards a Maglev train. CARLOS is holding hands with each of his parents while SANTINO walks next to his father, holding a rucksack over his left shoulder. SANTINO smiles and looks up to the sky. * 
 
 ░░░░**SANTINO** 
 Nice weather for a launch. 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 [ *spitefully* ] If only God would send a hurricane... 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 [ *unhappily* ] Lorena... 
 
 ░░░░**SANTINO** 
 [ *to LORENA* ] Mami, do n't get your hopes up. If we do n't go today, there's always tomorrow. 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 Are n't there only a few months every cycle when they can send people to Mars? So if God sent forty days of rain, I bet they would n't get a chance to take you. 
 
 *SANTINO gives a brief laugh and shakes his head. * 
 
 ░░░░**SANTINO** 
 I do n't think you prayed hard enough for that. Did you even go to Mass this week? 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 [ *indignantly* ] No, but I'm definitely going tomorrow. I need all the help I can get. 
 
 ░░░░**SANTINO** 
 Glad you think Carlos and I'll be okay. 
 
 *The group walks through a sliding glass door to enter the MAGLEV TRAIN STATION and continues walking, taking a right upon entry. * 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 Tino, you're beyond hope. I have a wrinkle for every prayer I've ever said for you, and you still ended up like this. 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 Like you? 
 
 *LORENA glares at MANNY. MANNY gives her an apologetic smile. * 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 You know who he got his stubborness from. It definitely was n't me, or I'd be in bed right now, watching foot. I think San Benefico's playing, but I ca n't remember who they're against... 
 
 ░░░░**CARLOS** 
 They're playing Marcus. 
 
 *MANNY nods his head with eyes closed. * 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 Damn, that'll be a good game. Maybe it'll still be on when I get back. 
 
 ░░░░**SANTINO** 
 Unless it goes over, probably not. The train ride's thirty minutes. 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 Damn it. 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 [ *disappointed* ] Manny! 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 What? Our hometown's up against one of the best teams in the conference! 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 We do n't even live in San Benefico anymore! And are n't you more worried about our boys than some match? 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 Hey, I'm a lifelong San Benefico fan. And if we beat Marcus, we might really move up in the ranks! Do n't you remember how Carlos got a jersey signed by their old lead? Imagine how much it'll be worth! 
 
 ░░░░**CARLOS** 
 [ *anxiously* ] You're not gon na sell it, are you? 
 
 *MANNY unclasped his hand from CARLOS', placed it on CARLOS' head, and messed up his hair. * 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 [ *playfully* ] If you do n't hurry up and get back home, I might have to! If I have to rely on your mami to signal cattle, I'll go crazy and buy a drone to replace her. You know you do a better job than she does. Remember that time I almost got trampled because of her? 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 You did n't give me a warning that time! I did n't even know you were already out in the pasture! 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 [ *to Carlos* ] You see, a good vaquero is ready for anything. 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 Nobody's ready for anything at five in the morning. 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 A good vaquero would be! 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 Well then, maybe you should get yourself another vaquero! 
 
 *SANTINO laughs. * 
 
 ░░░░**SANTINO** 
 I do n't think he keeps you around to herd cattle, Mami. 
 
 *CARLOS blushes and looks down. MANNY laughs. * 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 You're damn right, Tino! I keep her around because she makes the best paella in town. 
 
 *LORENA scoffs. MANNY moves his hand from CARLOS' hand and strokes LORENA's hair. He looks her lovingly in the eyes. * 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 And it does n't hurt that she puts up with my bad humor. 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 And your big belly. 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 Because of your paella! 
 
 *LORENA rolls her eyes but finally smiles. * 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 It's always the paella... I think we're track twelve. 
 
 *The group stops in front of an electronic trackboard hanging on the wall. A line reading `` 12 -- Welsh -- 11:20 AM'' is automatically highlighted in red. LORENA nods her head and sighs before frowning. * 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 I knew it. It's unlucky. 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 I do n't think twelve's unlucky. 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 I think it is. Jesus had twelve disciples, and one of them betrayed him. 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 When did you become superstitious? 
 
 ░░░░**SANTINO** 
 On top of that, when did you become so religious, Mami? 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 [ *annoyed* ] I've always been religious. Just sometimes I'm especially religious. Like when my only sons are about to get thrown up into the air by a giant rocket and go to some tiny red dot in the sky and hopefully not blow up on the way. 
 
 ░░░░**SANTINO** 
 I do n't remember you putting up this much of a fight the last time I went. 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 If I always put up a fight with you, I'd have a gray hair for every time you ignored what I said. 
 
 *As the group turns around and begins walking towards Track Twelve, SANTINO leers around his father to look at the back of LORENA's head. * 
 
 ░░░░**SANTINO** 
 Funny thing, I do n't see any gray hairs popping up right now. 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 That's because they're not on her head. 
 
 *CARLOS looks back down in embarrassment. LORENA blushes. * 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 Manny! That's it, you're coming to Mass with me tomorrow! 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 But mi gorda! That's when El Paso plays! And they're doing really good! 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 I think Church would do you good! And do n't'mi gorda' me, cochino. You're the fat one. 
 
 ░░░░**MANNY** 
 Because of your paella! 
 
 ░░░░**LORENA** 
 Again?!
