~ (y/n)'s P.O.V. ~

"Ha! Eat ass, Ben. I'm gonna win." I cried out as I slammed my piece down three spaces ahead of his. We had decided now was good bonding time as we didn't know what else to do while the others were off somewhere, and Sorry was the only put together game left in Klaus' closet. We included Ben so he wouldn't just be watching us, and sometimes the piece would be moved by him. Other times, Klaus or I would move it for him while Klaus relayed Ben's commentary. 

"He says you always say that before your piece gets taken." Klaus told me as he flipped over a card, then moved his piece the proper amount of spaces. All but one of Ben's pieces were in Home, and it was the same for me. Klaus could have had all of his in, but he kept skipping it on accident, so now only one of his pieces were in home. That left me and Ben going head-to-head on who would win this round. 

"What are you doing?" Five asked as he came into the room. He was redressed in his school uniform. I ignored him as I flipped over the card for Ben. It was a six, and when his piece didn't move, I moved it for him. 

"Bonding time." Klaus replied as I now flipped over my own card. I smiled at the eight, then promptly moved my piece there. "Your girlfriend is scary mean when playing board games." Klaus informed Five as he moved one of his pieces into Home. Five came to stand by me, staring down at the board. 

"Yeah, well, that's 100% your genetic makeup." Five replied as Klaus flipped Ben's card, then moved his piece three spaces. I huffed, doing my turn. 

"Ugh! Dumb card." I threw down the six, then moved my piece. I had been hoping for a one so I could take Ben's piece out. "I'm assuming if you came in here, you want us to do something?" I asked Five, looking to him momentarily. 

"Well, ideally to save the world." Five replied. 

"Oh, is that all? Great." Klaus murmured as he moved his piece. 

"So, Pogo said Dad killed himself to get us all back together, right?" Five questioned as Klaus did Ben's turn. Ben landed right behind me. 

"Yeah, so?" Klaus asked, then looked to me. "Ben says prepared to get demolished." Klaus told me and I scowled. 

"Like hell." I quickly did my turn, only half listening to Five as he continued. 

"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?" Five voiced his thoughts. 

"Five, honey, as much as I like to hear you talk, I need you to hold on a sec." I held up a hand as Klaus did his turn. I watched as he flipped the card for Ben, and I glared at the two that faced up at me. "You have to be kidding me!" I screeched as the piece moved forward, pushing  mine off the space. 

"He says read it and weep, loser." Klaus informed me, a small smile pulled at his lips. 

"Goddammit Ben!" I flicked his piece off the board, sending it flying somewhere off into the room. "Dumb game." I crossed my arms, but Klaus was laughing. I knew Ben must be laughing too. 

"Can I continue now?" Five stressed and I turned my glare to him. This, however, didn't make him falter. Five only stopped pacing the room and came to stand beside me, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. "Anyway, truth is, our whole lives, he's been telling us we'd save the world from an impending apocalypse." Five continued from his earlier rant. Klaus got up from the bed, grabbing at his shoes and shoving them on. 

"Yeah, but I always thought he just said that to scare us into doing the dishes." Klaus said as he moved, pulling off his old shirt in favor of a new one.
