Act 1: 2001

Act 2: 2025
(The scene shifts to a school, where four friends, Raj, Subra, Ayush, and Shubham, are standing outside their classroom.)
Raj: Alright guys, let's get to class.
Subra: Yeah, the bell just rang.
Ayush: Come on, let's go!
Shubham: I'm excited for our next class.
(They enter the classroom, but quickly become restless and decide to sneak out of school.)
Raj: Let's ditch class and check out what's happening outside.
Subra: Yeah, it's too boring in here.
Ayush: But what if we get caught?
Shubham: Don't worry, we'll be fine.
(They sneak out of school and find a mysterious person handing out free games.)
Raj: Whoa, free games? Yes, please!
Subra: What's the game?
Mysterious Person: It's "Rababa the Treasure World". Take it, and enjoy.
(The person quickly hands them the game and runs off.)
Raj: Alright guys, let's play this game tonight at my place.
Subra: Sounds good, but first, let's go home and tell our parents we're sleeping over at Raj's.
Ayush: I'm so excited!
Shubham: Me too!
Raj: Remember, come over in the evening, and don't forget to tell your parents.
Subra: Got it, and don't be late, Raj.
Raj: I won't, see you guys tonight!
Shubham: I'm going to be so ready!
Ayush: Subra, can you pick me up first? Shubham takes forever to get ready!
Subra: Haha, alright, I'll pick you up first.
Shubham: Hey, I'm not that slow!
Ayush: Yeah, right!
In evening Subra arrives at Ayush's house, ringing the doorbell
Subra: Ayush, come on! We have to go to Shubham's house too!
Ayush: Yes, coming!
(They arrive at Shubham's house, where he is waiting for them.)
Shubham: How much time did you take to come?
Ayush: (teasingly) Subra, see in which direction the sun rises, because Shubham is ready before time!
Subra: (laughing) Yes, Ayush, but let's leave this topic for now. Let's go to Raj's house; he's waiting for us!
Shubham: Subra, let's go! We'll be late! And, Ayush, stay on the path, okay?
They head towards Raj's house.
At Raj's House
Raj is setting up the game console while his mom is getting ready to leave for a party. The doorbell rings, and Raj goes to open the door.
Raj: Come on in, friends! Are you ready and excited?
Ayush: Yeah, I'm right!
They enter the room, and Raj's mom gives them a brief greeting before leaving.
Raj: Mom, we're going to play a game in my room, so you can go to your friend's party today.
