Ch'en is awoken in a middle of a battlefield. She's holding Chi Xiao for some reason. She then looked around her..corpses..fire..ruins..everything seems broken.

And then she saw Cos, standing in a mountain of corpses, all she can do was stare what's beneath. What has he been carrying over his shoulder..how much burden did he kept to himself? All she saw is Cos standing there with a sword covered in blood. Unable to move, she stands in horror as Cos held his sword up to his neck. In a short second, not spending any time. He beheaded himself in front of Ch'en.

.......

Ch'en sat up straight, panting heavily as she awoken from what feels like a bad dream. She seems to be dripping in sweat...all she could think of right now is what happened to the future...after a few minutes she finally regain her composure and looked inside the room.

Cos seems to be on the kitchen part of the room. He seems to be cooking something..something she never smelt before..She then stood up and went to the dining table. Sat down and leaned onto the wall.

"Oh, Morning Ch'en." Cos greeted. "Looking so tense?"

"Morning to you." Ch'en replied his greet. "Just a stupid nightmare.."

"I see..well then.." "A cup of coffee to start of the day?" Cos asked, preparing the ingredients.

"Sure thing hun'." Ch'en said.

"Hoh? Did you just call me..'hun'?" Cos teased her with what she just said.

"Huh..?" Ch'en said. Confused. Took her a minute or two go realize what she said.
"I-I-I-I Di-didn't!! Stop teasing me in the morning!!" Said Ch'en while she was going all tomato.

Cos only laughed at her cute reaction and continued cooking.

"So..what are you cooking this morning?"

"Bacon and Eggs. A classic American breakfast."

"Okay..? What is this 'Bacon' and what is 'American'..." Ch'en asked. Confused on what's the things he just said.

"Oh, right..let's say it's from a previous world i used to live in." Cos said. "Maybe if i have free will on transporting into different worlds i would bring you to my hometown."

Cos then finished cooking and served it on a plate. Seasoning it with salt and pepper. Both of them eat the bacon and eggs. They finished up and washed the plates.

"That was tasty yet light!" Ch'en complimented the food.

"I am glad you loved it." Cos said, smiling. "Shall we go to the beach?"

"Yeah sure, let me get changed."

"Okay."

A few minutes passed..Ch'en is still not out yet..Cos knocked at the door.

"Hey..are you done yet?" He asked.

"Im still picking which to use..." Ch'en said behind the door.

"Do you want me to come in there and help you with it?"

"Thanks but no thanks. pervert."

"Did i seriously deserve to get called a pervert? I was offering you a help!"

Ch'en then picked her swimsuit and used it.
