"So, Pogo said Dad killed himself to get us all back together, right?"

"Yeah, so?"

"So it got me thinking. I had to jump to the future to figure out when it happened, but Dad, he can't time travel. So how'd the crazy bastard actually know to kill himself a week before the end of the world?"

"Well, you know..."

"Don't answer. That was purely rhetorical." I laughed at the two as we walked down the stairs. "Truth is, our whole lives, he's been telling us we'd save the world from an impending apocalypse."

"Yeah, but I always thought he just said that to scare us into doing the dishes."

"Me too. But what if the old man really knew it was going to happen?"

"Yeah, but knew how?" I asked spotting Diego.

"No idea. But the fact remains, his fakakta plan worked. We all came home. We're here, we might as well save the world."

"Oh yeah? What, like, the three of us?"

"Uh, well, ideally, no, but... gotta work with what I've got."

"Four of us." They looked at me confused until the saw Diego. "Where's Allison?"

"Where have you been?"

"Jail." He ran to his room, we followed confused. "Long story. Where's Luther?"

"Haven't seen him since breakfast."

"Yeah. Two days until the world ends, he picks a great time to drop off the grid." I said mumbling.

"Shit. Allison is in danger."

"WHAT!? I let you two leave and you're telling me she's in danger what the fuck Diego!"

"I know where he is and where Allison is okay?" I looked at him furious.

"Then let's go get her you dumbass!" I walked down the stairs out the house and into the car. Five jumped next to me.

"Well, aren't you just a ray of-" I gave him a look as the boys got in. "Kidding, come here." He pulled me into him as he looked out the window, not before kissing my forehead, I felt eyes on us before the car began to crank and we were off.

"What did I miss?"

"Just a whole love confession, that's all." I rolled my eyes at Klaus as we stopped, that wasn't far. We all got out and went into the store. "Look."

"Trying a little hair of the dog, are we? Hm?" What?

"Leave me alone." Good call.

"Give us a minute." We walked away waiting patiently as Diego talked to Luther.

"I wonder.. did you two have sex after the apocalypse? Or.. just kiss nothing else?" We both looked at Klaus. "What? I'm curious if you finally got the courage to tell Five you want him to- ow!" I punched his arm as Five smirked.

"You should have led with that!" We all looked at Luther as he got up.

"Jesus Christ." We moved out the way as he walked next to us.

"Shit." He opened the door a little to hard, Five got in the driver seat as we all got in. I put my head on the window and sighed. "Get some sleep Angel." I smiled and nodded my head, every few minutes Luth would ask for Five to go faster.

"Hey. Can you go any faster?" Seriously?

"Ask me again, and I'll burn you with the cigarette lighter." I chuckled and grabbed his free hand.

"Be nice." Luth hurried up and got out as we parked, I got out with Five running up the stairs with the boys.

"Allison! No!" I stopped in my tracks when I saw Ali laying on the ground, cut throat and all... "Allison. Oh, my God. Allison." What the hell happened? "Please look at me, please..." Ali..

"Angle, come on." I looked at Five as Luther picked up Ali, it was like it was in slow mo.. Diego and Klaus running out the room, and Luther walking out with her in his arms and Five trying to get me to follow. Only for him to jump us in the car instead, speeding down the streets. After what seemed like eternity, I watched as they carried her inside. "Come on Angel." I felt someone help me out the car and into the house.

"Come on! Let's go!"

"I don't think she's breathing." I felt my chest drop as the word breathing echoed through my head.

"If we don't get her upstairs, she's gonna die." I watched as they ran upstairs. After a few moments of waiting Mom came back, and told us we could see her.

"She's suffered a severe laceration to her larynx. One of you will need to give blood." We all spoke at the same time.

"I will."

"I will. I'm doing it."

"I'm afraid that's not possible, dear boy. Your blood is more compatible with mine." I looked at Ali and felt as if everything drowned out until I saw Diego fall. "Stick him." I blinked looking at everyone.

"We'll be right back." I looked at Five then Ali as he dragged me out. "You okay?" I looked at him and sighed.

"I don't know.. just feels like I'm losing you guys one by one. First I get hurt, then you, now Ali.. I mean who's next Five?"

"No one."

"You can't promise that, you said it yourself.. they all die.."

"Yes, but not us. I came back to prevent this.. when they told me I had a chance to see you, I took it. No questions asked. I did everything in a heartbeat to be with you." I looked at Five and then looked around before walking away. "Where are you going?"

"Just follow me." He looked at the room before following me, I sighed and sat at the end of the roof. "You remember this place?"

"Yeah, this is where we first danced."

"Where you first jumped with someone else." He nodded his head sitting next to me.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"I use to look up at the moon and wonder when you'd come back for me.."

"How'd you be so sure I'd come back?"

"Because... you always came back to me. Back home. I was waiting for you, even after I left I'd come up here and look at the stars."

"Yeah.. when I got back, I found this." I looked at him as he pulled out a piece of fabric. I felt tears come out before looking at Five again. "Angel.."
