Five was in the kitchen, and was chugging all the water he could find. Mei was changing in another room into a shorter, thinner material dress. She was going to need it in the Dallas heat. When she emerged from their shared room, Mei smacked the back of his head gently.
Five, was visibly not adapted to his teen body, his body was crinkled and tight around the shoulders when he spun to face his wife. His un-guilty expression made her prop her hand onto her waist. Five dropped the half empty water container into her hand and he walked away. Mei chugged as she heard footsteps come closer. "Mei? Are you okay?"
Mei audibly gasped for air as Luther scared her with his sudden voice.
"No," Mei answered. Before Luther could ask her why, Five shouted in glee from another room.
"Found it!" Mei turned to seeing Five dumping baby powder down his shirt sleeve and front, handing it away to her. Mei took the powder jar and left to the bathroom to be able to cover her body in it.
"What's with the baby powder?" Luther asked. "To help with the itching," Five answered, blinking away and taking the jar from his wife. He dumped some of it down his shorts unceremoniously. Mei came outside, seeing Five jump and shake his body to move the rest of the loose powder around his clothing and body.
"You do have a plan!" Luther exclaimed. Five tilted his head uncertainly.
"Not exactly, it's our final chance to get out before doomsday, but since your empty headed siblings are incapable of meeting a simple deadline, I got no choice," Mei said as she reduced the size of a box of tissues. Five walked away, his academy jacket in hand. Mei squeezed past Luther to follow Five, the large water pitcher hanging outside of her bag.
"No choice about what?" Luther asked.
"I have to find Mei and I." Five looked at his watch quickly before turning around. "We just arrived in Dallas... 15 minutes ago," Five told Mei.
"Should I be worried about you?" Luther asked. "Well, Luther. If you recall, we were sent to 1963 on a job by the Commission to make sure the president was assassinated." Five was stretching his body and limbs out as he spoke to Luther. Mei watched Luther connect the dots in front of them.
"Oh! So, wait, your old self is out there!"
"Exactly, Luther," Mei said as she cracked her knuckles and joints.
"What, just walking around Dallas?" Luther asked, Mei just sighed while she twisted her torso in a stretching motion.
"Yes, walkin' around Dallas with a briefcase that can get all of us home," Mei answered.
"Oh, my God. This is brilliant!" Luther praised at the thought of returning to twenty nineteen.
Before Luther got too excited, Five broke him a little bit down. "However, there are two significant problems with this plan."
