All the boys agree to keep it down before being shown to their rooms, Thomas and Viktor had their own rooms, while Janus and Remus, Patton and Logan, and finally Virgil and Roman shared.

(We're going to do a little character change and follow River for a bit)

River had been in the universe for about a day now, they had found a church to stay the night in. Now they were out again, trying to at least find something to eat so that they'd have enough fuel to find Five. And thankfully it wasn't long before River found a diner that was open. The diner was called 'Flowers & Coffee'.

~{×_×}~

River and Five had been sitting in this van watching Meritech Prosthetic's for a few hours now and Five could see that River was starting to get bored and tired. "Kit."

"Hmh?" River looked over at Five and turned in her seat.

"If we stop the apocalypse, what do you wanna do with your life?"

"I don't know, maybe open a cafe or something? Agnes said I could have Griddy's once she retires, though I might rename it."

"What would you call it?"

"I been thinking of calling it 'Flowers & Coffee'..."

-_- -_-

Tears had starting coming to River's eyes, so she quickly wiped them away and pulled open the door of the diner to find very few people in there. A bell rung behind her as the door closed, slightly startling her. She quickly looked back at the bell before going up to the counter that sorta wrapped around the kitchen.

They sat down in the same place they sat when they went to Griddy's for the first time with Five, the second seat on the right from the middle corner. After they sat, they took their satchel and set on their lap.

They stared up at the menu for just moments before the owner came out of the kitchen. "Alright what can I..." Five stopped in front of River, surprised to see them, "Holy shit, Kit?"

"Oh I knew it had to be you," River's eyes welled with tears before she quickly got out of her seat and the two practically ran down to the end of the counter, embracing each other once they were close enough.

Five was now taller then River but he still had the same general appearance he had a few years ago. Although his hair was long enough to come down to just above his shoulders and he had it tied back into a short ponytail.

The two hugged for a while, Five letting River cry into his shoulder. When they did pull apart, Five cupped her face and rubbed her tears away. He brushed some of her hair away from her face, looking her over from any new marks or scars.

"Five.. I'm okay. Those idiots couldn't hurt me even if they wanted too." River said as they took his hands off their face.

"Damn right the couldn't, are you hungry? I've got a bunch of fresh donuts ready and I can make you a fresh pot of coffee."

"That would actually be really nice Manko(Ma-ing-ko)," River smiled before Five pulled her close and kissed her. When they broke the kiss, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her behind the counter.
