"WHAT? YOU don't speak French." Allison laughed.

""It's "the little death."

"Oh, wow. Look at this old stuff." Klaus said and saw his family and smiled.

"Oh, wow. I know this is impossible, but..."

"did we all get sexier?" Riya laughed when Klaus said that sped towards him.

"I missed you doorknob!" she giggled and sighed.

"Aw I missed you too! you look old." Klaus joked.

Riya rolled her eyes.

"Klaus! I told you! Never time travel without her!" Ben said.

Ben looked at Riya, she looked the same since he saw her in 2019, but she looked more mature.

Her hair was lighter, and was cut shorter... compared to her long hair.

She was wearing her classic black clothes.

Compared to the other times he had seen her, the smile she had reached her eyes.

Klaus pulled her in a four way hug with him, Vanya and Allison.

"Hi." Vanya said.

"Hi Vanny" Klaus laughed.

"Klaus. Is Ben here?" Five asked.

"Oh, uh... no. No, unfortunately, ghosts can't time travel." Klaus waved his hands nonchalantly.

"Are you kidding me?" Ben shouted.

Riya's smile faltered.

She had really hoped that Ben would be here.

All of them gathered upstairs.

"All right." Five started, "First off, I wanna say I'm sorry. I know I really screwed the pooch on this whole
going-back-in-time-and-getting-stuck thing."

Riya sighed.

"But the real kick in the pants here is we brought the end of the world back here with us."

"Oh, my God, again?" Klaus whined and looked around,  "All of you knew? Why am I always the last one to find out about the end of the..."

"Sorry buddy, I just found out yesterday."

"Oh, my God. My cult is gonna be so pissed. Five! I told them we had until 2019." Klaus sighed and sat down with his drink.

"We have until Monday. We have six days." 

"Is it Vanya?" Klaus asked.

"Klaus." ALlison warns.

"What? It's usually Vanya." Klaus says.

"It was literally one time!" Riya defended.

"Do you have any leads, Five?" Vanya sighed and asked.

"Yeah, we have one." Five said as Diego handed him a photo.

Allison saw it and passed it around.

"Holy shit, is that Dad?" 

Riya peeped in like Klaus and sighed.

"Literally, anything bad happens, the old man is usually at fault!" Riya groaned.

"Yeah."

"That's him?" Vanya asked.

"Standing on the grassy knoll."

"Diego and I have been trying to talk to Dad about what exactly this means." Five says and Riya grabs Klaus' alcohol.
