Jenna and Five got back to Elliott's place to find him and Luther knocked out near the laughing gas machine with Bill stumbling around the kitchen, high out of his mind.
"Oh my god," Jenna's eyes widened, "What the hell happened here?"
"Oh, this?" Bill messily gestured to the other two men, "Oh, we- we just had a teensy little bit of fun last night."
"Bill-"
"Stop talking, Jenna," He dramatically held a hand out to stop her, "I was told last night that I need space from you or something because you hurt my heart and apparently that means that we need a break."

Luther arrived at Elliott's place in the middle of the night with only a small duffel bag and lamp. He knocked on the door with the lamp and was met face to face with Elliott, who opened the door.
"Whoa. You're f... uh, from the alley," Elliott stuttered.
"Uh..." Luther ignored him, peering past him into the house, "I'm looking for Five and Jenna."
"Uh, they went out," Elliott replied as Luther pushed himself inside.
"Say where they were going?"
"Um..."
"They're with your brother," Bill announced from the kitchen where he was pouring himself a glass of whiskey.

"Who, Diego?" Luther went deeper into the home, "I thought he was in the asylum."
"He escaped," Bill shrugged, "Catch up."
"They say when they'd be back?" Luther put his stuff down like he was claiming the home as his own.
"Not sure," Elliott stared at Luther in awe.
"Okay," He sighed and plopped himself down on the couch, Bill sitting right next to him.
"Did you have a bad day, too?" Bill him with his foot.
"Yep," Luther sighed, staring down at the ground.
"Oooh, I have an idea," Elliott pointed to a canister across the room, "Y'all want some nitrous?"

The three of them sat in a line up, each taking turns breathing in the gas and laughing their asses off together. Everything around them turned all fuzzy and hilarious, but it was the best any of them had felt in a while. All they could focus on was purely blissful they felt, leading to more laughter erupting from their throats.
"I should've been doing this my whole life," Luther giggled as he pulled the mask from his face.
"Yeah," Elliott laughed back, "It just makes everything better, right?"
"Oh, yeah," Bill took the mask from Luther, immediately breathing the gas into his lungs.
"How'd you get all this stuff?" Luther asked, curiously.
"My dad..." Elliott couldn't hold his giggles in as he explained, "Was a dentist. He left me this place in his will when he died."
"You know, uh," Luther chimed in, "My dad died too. He left me on the moon."
The entire room erupted in hysterics.

"My uh," Bill chuckled, "My dad left when I was in diapers and my mom had awful taste in guys, so I've had like fifty step-dads in like twenty different states!"
"Hey, at least you two went places," Elliott added, "I don't leave the house except between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, and when it's daylight on Wednesday."
"Why?" Luther barely got out through his laughter.
"I have my reasons," Elliott shrugged, his body shaking from the laughter he was trying to hold in his system.
"You are super weird," Luther pointed at him, laughing, along with Bill, who nodded in agreement even though Elliott was his friend.
"What?" Elliott glanced over at him.
"You are so weird," Luther repeated, laughing even harder.
"He's got you there, Elio!" Bill clutched his chest to try and catch his breath, "I love you, man, but you are hella weird!"
"Well..." Elliott thought for a moment, "You- you're an alien from the future, and you look like an ape."
Luther sat in silence for a second, reflecting, before saying, "I do," And keeling over from his laughter once more.

"You know," Luther continued, "In the last twelve hours, I lost a fight, my job, and the woman that I love loves someone else. I mean, what is that?"
"Hey," Bill slapped his arm, "The woman I love is apparently a fifty-eight-year-old trapped in a seventeen-year-old's body and is married! How crazy is that? Plus, she's from the future and has lighting hands! And on top of all of that, she pushed me away when I kissed her."
"Wait, you kissed Jenna?" Luther magically regained his composure for a moment, "Like, my sister-in-law? Yeah, she loves Five too much. You're out of luck, buddy."
"Well," Elliott started to share, "My wife left me for my best friend on our tenth anniversary."
Everyone broke out into even more laughter, if that was even possible.
