"Maybe it's for the best" An Ashtray story.

Pilot

Waking up that morning felt no different than most. I felt, tired and angry. I wasn't happy but I also wasn't sad. It was 9:14 AM, the smell of weed was throughout the house with a hint of pancakes. 

I got up off the floor rubbing my back and walked into the living room where Ash and Fez were both sitting, eating pancakes.

Fez looked over as I sat down on the couch, "Well good morning sleepyhead." 

I yawned and waved over at fez then looked at Ash who made a face at me.

Fez sighed and shook his head. "You two will need to get along at some point, Val you hungry?" 

I groaned and leaned into the couch while picking at my nails. "Yeah, a little bit."

he nodded and walked to the kitchen before coming back with a plate, "here" 

"Thanks." i smiled and ate my pancakes. 

"I gotta go open the shop, ash lets go, val you uh, i don't know just don't make a mess" Ash got up and followed Fez to the door. 

"What- why do I have to stay here? can I come with?" i said as I stood up 

"No Val you gotta stay here. Watch the house." Fez stated following Ash out and closing the door behind him.

I sighed and walked to the room and put on my shoes after doing my makeup. "Watch the house meh meh meh" I mimicked Fezco. 

I grabbed my phone and earbuds and walked out of the house to explore.

I walked to a nearby shop which just so happened to be the one Fezco owned. Great.

I walked up and saw Fezco sitting there so I decided to not go in, I saw a girl walk up and decided that was my cue to leave. 

I walked for a bit then decided to sit on the side of the road, soon after a girl on her bike stopped next to me.

"Hey you good?" she said.

"Huh? Oh, yeah.. I'm fine."

she didn't say anything for a few seconds. "I'm Jules." she put her hand out for me to shake.

"Valentina." I said, standing up then shaking her hand. She smiled and looked down at her bike. 

"I better get going now, cya!" she said as she biked away.

What a weird interaction... I thought to myself and went on my phone, i got a message from maddy, I rolled my eyes and opened it.

M: Party at Mckays house, Ill send you the address.

V: Who? and what? I've been back for not even 24 hours..

M: Just go, you'll make friends.

V: fine.

M: oh by the way I gave Fezco your number to keep an eye on you :)

V: alright, bye Mads love you.

M: love you too.

I smiled at the message and looked up as a truck drove by, in the car were 2 boys, the one driving but his his fingers up to his mouth and flicked his tongue in between.

I made a disgusted face as they drove by and scoffed, "Gross." I said as I looked back down at my phone. 

A notification popped up from and unknown number.

Unknown: Where the hell are you?

V: Ummm. Who are you?

F: Fezco, where the hell did you go?
