At Cherribomb's apartment.  Husk and Anthony were second to last to arrive. Jordyn being the last again.  Sir Pentious was there which made Anthony feel better because, his friends don't do hard drugs when he's around. It makes the snake uncomfortable. Anthony's been doing pretty well, just on weed and some unprescribed prescription pills. He wouldn't tell any of them that he's trying to get off the pills too. Husk had the suspicion Anthony was getting clean but, he worried talking about it would make him uncomfortable and possibly cause a relapse so, he kept his thoughts to himself.

"So y'all are coming to the Halloween party?" Cherribomb asked.

Mia didn't look up from the TV she just nodded.

"Duh!" Said Jordyn.

"Obviously." Said Anthony, he was laying on the back of the couch kicking his feet.

Andre also nodded. He was sitting in the rocking chair.

Husk nodded as well.  "If Tony's going I'm going."

It was silent.

Cherribomb broke that silence. "No shit asshole. We tried inviting you to so much but, nooooo were not your friends!" She spoke in a sarcastic mean time she wasn't actually trying to be mean but, she was calling him out.

Anthony's lips folded into his mouth. His eyes widened in shock.  "Cherri for fuck's sake."

Husk sighed. "I wouldn't know you motherfuckers if it wasn't for Anthony! Why the fuck would I keep coming around, if we were broken up? It would have made me uncomfortable, him uncomfortable and probably all of you as well. He deserves to have a safe space. Who the fuck am I to invade that?"

Cherribomb blinked twice. "Damn old man chill. Besides I was talking bout, AFTER THIS ASSHOLE DITCHED US FOR SIX MONTHS!"

Sir Pentious could agree though. If he and Cherri were to break up it would be the same. He wouldn't want to make things awkward..... More than he already does.

"We're old we have old sssssschool moralsss."

Husk rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "OH fuck nah man! I'm not THAT old!"

Sir Pentious was taken aback. It was silent. Andre looked like he was pondering something. He looked up from the joint he was rolling and turned his head towards the snake.

"Wait how old are you Pentious?" Andre asked. He was rolling up a joint with Cherri's papers but, his weed.

He shrugged. "Weeell, I died in 18-"

Jordyn cut him off, the rest didn't matter anyway. He successfully dated himself with just the first half of the decade.

"18! OMG BRO'S BEEN HERE FOR TWO CENTURIES!" Gasped Jordyn.

That left everyone else (besides Anthony) wondering the same question. Only one of them had the balls to ask, though.

"Husk how old are you?" Asked Mia.

"Old."

Anthony kept his mouth shut. "Aye when you're done rolling horse boy, I call Dibs!" He pleaded. He needs something to occupy him. He was not getting dragged into this conversation.

Cherri's eyebrow raised. "Really asshole?! Pen flat out admitted he'd be 200 years old if he was alive but, you won't?"

"No!" Husk groaned crossing his arms.

Andre turned his head passing the joint and a lighter to Anthony at the most perfect time.

"Angie?" Asked Jordyn looking up at him from the recliner.
