LAURA FILLED HER MUG WITH COFFEE!

adam set his cup on the counter. "your fixed time, 2050, is it bad there?"

"clearly not, because i'm still hot." cherry motioned to her older self.

"obviously." her older self agreed.

"you've seen terminator, right?" older adam asked.

"fuck no." cherry scrunched her nose in confusion.

"obviously." adam answered at the same time as her, and quickly turned. "how have you not seen terminator?"

"because i'm not a loser."

"you love me! and the movies i watch!"

"not when you made me watch star wars. i still don't fucking understand it. there's like, two thousand movies. they don't need any more."

"anyways! that's 2050 on a good day." older adam sighed.

adam took a sip out of his cup, laura also sighing and heading over to the counter.

"sorian must've spotted me and planted an altitude bomb on my jet. here, eat something." laura placed carrots on the table.

"what the fuck.. i'm not a bunny. maybe i'll like vegetables in the future." cherry slid the carrots to her older self.

"fuck no." the woman handed them to adam.

"i managed to eject, but it didn't matter." laura continued.

adam stared at the carrots in his hand.

"without my jet, i was a permanent castaway. so i had to follow protocol, you know, live out my life here, avoid contact, minimize my footprint, and hope you were crazy enough to come look for me." laura continued.

"alone. all this time. four years." older adam pointed out.

"that's the job, right."

"yeah, but, baby-"

"it's.. it's fine! i got used to being alone."

"not anymore. hey, i found you. i found you."

older adam kissed laura, while older cherry cringed.

a strange emotion entered her eyes, glossing them over.

adam and cherry cringed, giving each-other a look.

older adam and laura continued kissing, arms wrapped around each-other.

"i'm gonna take my eyes and ears out for a walk." adam took a bite out of the carrot, and took cherry's hand in his.

"bye now." older adam said, in between kisses.

"you kids have fun." adam cringed, opening the door. "after you."
