Me and five stood looking at the largest ball of twine
" you are so old" I laughed " you almost killed us because of a ball of twine"
" yeah" klaus agreed " yknow, I don't know why but I thought it'd be alot bigger "
" seems pretty big to me" five shrugged " heres the real question, how do you know your birth mother lives in Pennsylvania?"
" well" klaus started " because, I was on the ass end of a two week bender and I cant tell you the exact date, because we were boofing Xanax and the whole buisness, but -- Amy Winehouse was the top of the charts, so that puts us somewhere in the mid to late Aughts? I helped myself into dads office looking for the key to his safe, because he had pogo lock up all the stealables . But instead, I found a treasure trove of our family history told in expired check stubs . I was to messed up to uh.... do anything about it , to scared to look her up. But always in the back of my mind I wondered , why she sold me off for three grand. I mean , cmon she couldn't have held out for five? Six?! "
" you see anything about my mother?" Asked five
" no" klaus replied with a sigh "sorry"
" why now?" Five questioned further
" well duh, dad disowned us, grace isnt grace, Ben's....gone. Now just felt like a good a as any to find out who I could have been , if I didn't grow up in this stupid family " he explained
" i dont really think you could call what we have a family " I said matter of factly
" no" klaus chuckled " it's more of a--"
" institute for snarky delinquents" five finnished for him " and yknow, not a good one at that "
" but what is a family ? What is it?" Klaus asked " it's like some kind of , giant ball of... twine , that can never be untangled"
" it's like a giant ball of obligation I've been pushing uphill my entire life " five corrected
" yeah! And the older you get, the bigger it gets , and the more you try and untangle it" " you watch it roll back down the hill" " what's the point!" They both exclaimed in unison
" hey, I'm glad you came along " klaus smiled at five " you're... a good brother " he had no clue how much five needed to hear that. " alright alright, you say nice things about me now"
" let's go find your stupid mother " five patted his arm and began walking to the car
" love you to tiny dancer!!" Klaus exclaimed running after him
I rolled my eyes fondly and followed the two

We jumped out of the car after arriving at our very peaceful destination. I looked around
" holy shit" I said " klaus is amish"
" this explains everything " klaus chuckled
" how does this explain anything?" Asked five
" because look!" Klaus gestured to the scenery " look at this place , its everything my childhood was missing "
" hey , uh klaus " five stopped him " wait up a minute, doppelganger check. Do you feel anything strange, uh, itching, sweats , gas anything like that?"
" no" klaus replied calmly " no , I feel great. Apart from the old, rash on the tackle. But, what can you do?"
He began walking away
" goodluck klaus" I smiled giving him a thumbs up
" wha-- wait you guys aren't coming?" He asked
" this one you gotta do alone " said five
" ugh, alone? Yeah , ok. Yeah, I can do that sure " he began walking away again " but, doing have to much fun on your own"
I grimaced then went back to the car once he was out of earshot
" so" I sat down in the backseat pulling five in with me and shutting the door " what do you wanna do?"
" hmm" he hummed , a slight smirk playing at his lips "depends, how much fun is to much fun?"
" you know for a fact, that means. No doing it, no making out . None of that inappropriate stuff " I replied , he slumped down "mabye later, but when we are alone"
He sat back up
" cool" he said " cool cool cool. Anyway, what are our options?"
" well, we have contry music and --"
" yes , perfect " he smiled snatching a tape from my hands and putting it in the car , music began playing through the car , he sang along then opening the door " fresh air and -- ah! Yes. The perfect pastime!" He smiled at me before opening the map and a pen then starting to circle more attractions " come here then" he spoke, not taking his eyes of off the map " I'm you're boyfriend, aka a pillow . And , you are in desperate need of some rest, even if it is just shutting your eyes for fifteen minutes "
I smiled gently and laid my head down on his lap, he stroked a single finger over my nose cheekbones and forehead while he sang along to the music
" retirement is a good look on you" I hummed
" yeah?" He smiled " you should try it sometime"
" i don't think I'd know what to do" i chuckled slightly " it sounds crazy, but. I've been doing what i do for years now, and without it.... I just, I dont know"
" that's how i felt about the apocalypse and, look at me now " he replied
" yeah, I'll think about it"
He gave me a simple nod before going back to singing " well it's a crying shame~ you dont even know my name~ but every time you pass me by~ girl , it makes me it cry~ it's a crying shame ~ I go insi--"
Energy surged through my body once more, this time affecting five to. He accidentally slipped from his position, leaving me very uncomfortable.
He sat up , I copied the movement
" what -" he said jumping out of the car " oh ,cant I get one fricking day off?"
The field was cow less
" what the shit" I stood beside him
What the actual hell was going on.
