I giggle at Klaus who held a guitar.

Five rummages through the shelves looking for what I assume is food.

Allison enters the room, wearing a nice long black dress. "Where's Vanya." She asks

"Oh, she's gone." Klaus says as he sat on a chair feet rested in front of him on the table.

"Cute dress." I say with a slight accent.

"Thanks." She says smiling at my compliment

"That's unfortunate." Five says

"Yeah." Allison says

"An entire square block. Forty-two bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, but no, not a single drip of coffee." Five says unimpressed looking at Allison.

I swing my feet that dangle off the table which I sat on.

"Dad hated caffeine." Allison states

"Well, he hated children, too, and he had plenty of us." Klaus laughs hugging the guitar.

"I'm taking the car." Five says

I roll my eyes.
"Oh yeah, I could actually do with a Griddy's coffee right now." I say hoping off the table doing a French kiss.

"Where are you going?" Klaus says moving unreasonably quickly.

"To get a decent cup of coffee."

"Do even know how to drive?" Allison asks arms crossed.

"I know how to do everything." Five says before blinking.

"Oh, Five! God." I complain as I run quickly outside to were the car is.


"Five, ya wouldn't like to wait?!" I say opening the passenger door and sitting and buckling my seatbelt.

"Your really coming?" He says sarcastically starting the car.

"And you think I'm not." I say smiling.

He rolls his eyes and starts driving, the ride was nothing but silence.




We arrived to Griddy's, a man opened the door for us as he was exiting. Five walked straight past as I mouth a 'Thank you' to the man. We sit down, As soon as we do Five rings the bell to be served.

A man walked through the door sitting one chair across to Five. The man huffs and sighs taking of his hat writing on a news paper in front of him.

Five sighs, the waitress arrives and apologises, "Sorry, sink was clogged." She chuckles lightly to cheer up the depressive mood between us three.
"So, what'll it be?" She continues.

"Uh, give me a chocolate éclair." The stranger asks

"Mm-hmm. Sure. Can I get the kids a glass of milk or something?" She says waving her hand in our direction.

Five furrows his brows quite offended at what she said making me laugh a little underneath my breathe.

"The kids want coffee. Black." Five says.

"Nothing else." I smile hands together

The woman froze for a second, "Cute kids." She chuckles. The man next to Five awkwardly nodded his head and blinked confused.

Five pasted a sweet smile on his face like a little kid showing off his dimple, which made me giggle slightly.

"Okay." The waitress says getting our order.

"I don't remember this place being such a shit hole. I used to come here as a kid. Used to sneak out with my brothers and sisters and eat doughnuts till we puked. Simpler times, huh?" Five says which gives me deja vu.
