Vanya knocked on Five's door for the third time. She waited for a while before he finally opened his bedroom door for her. She glanced at his stressed-out expression as she sat down beside him on his bed. She looked up to see his writings on the wall and grimaced at it. Even though a year has passed since they came back from 1963, she still can't help but blame herself for causing the 2019 apocalypse. But she wasn't here to discuss about herself.

She looked at her brother who was looking on the ground with the same expression on his face. She opened her mouth to say something but Five cut her off. "If you're here to force me just like the rest of our siblings-"

She shook her head, "No, I'm not here to do that. I just want to tell you that it's okay if you do what the plan says. As long as you come to the party, then that's okay. But we both know that Y/N loves dancing." She chuckled, "She even teases you to dance with her once everything is back to normal."

Vanya looked at Five who was staring at the floor again with a small smile on his face. She was glad that her brother looked a lot better now.

She put her hand on his shoulder to catch his attention, "See you in the party, Five." And with that, she left him to think about the words she said to him.

Five knows Vanya was right. You do love dancing.

Being a normal person, you get to experience things that they never get to experience at all since Reginald was strict. When you became friends with them after helping from a mission (you pushed Klaus out of the way when you saw a criminal coming over to him to beat him with a bat. His father saw your braveness and so allowed you to be friends with his children to teach them that trait).

And you did teach them a lot of things. Out of all the things you taught them, dancing was the most memorable one. He remembered the time you explained the schedule for the dance lessons. Sundays would be Luther, Mondays with Diego, Tuesdays with Allison, Wednesdays would be Klaus, Thursdays with him, Fridays with Ben and Vanya on Fridays.

Five didn't like the idea of dancing at first since he was aware that he wasn't good at it. But once you started teaching him, he always looked out for the day to be Thursday. When he got stuck in the future, he still danced but with Dolores. It wasn't always the same if it wasn't you but it was enough to keep him sane and hopeful.

When Five traveled with you and his siblings to restore the timeline, he scattered his siblings across different Dallas timelines by accident. It was a relief for him that you got stuck with him. Somehow, the time travel affected your age so you look like a teenage girl.

He remembered the time when he went to the Mexican Consulate to look for Reginald with you, Diego and Lila.

The four of you entered the doors, successfully blending in with the people around you. Five grabbed a glass of wine and drank on it as you looked around. The four of you stopped walking in the center of the room as Lila grabbed a glass from a waiter passing by.

"I don't see Dad anywhere," Diego said as he looked over at Five.

Five looked at the end of the hallway before looking back at his brother, "Just keep an eye out for the Majestic Twelve. Y/N and I got the upstairs."

You looked at him with narrowed eyes, "We do?"

He ignored you as he smiled warningly at his brother, "Diego, try not to do anything too stupid." He looked at you before signaling you to come with him. You reluctantly followed him.
