Deigo: Yeah, I'm with Luther. Majority Rules. 

Luther: Yeah, right.

(Klaus turnes to Allison.)

Klaus: You're not actually considering this, are you? 

Allison: No. 

(While everyone is talking, Ben secretly grabs the jar of marigold and slides it into his pocket.)

Allison: No, My life is great. I have everything I need. 

Lila: Yup, me too. 

Klaus: Same. 

Five: All right, then. Motion fails. We don't drink the mystery juice. So we don't get our powers back

(Allison takes a drink and Klaus sighs in relief.)

Klaus: Thank God.

(They all continue to eat and Ben decides to get up and leave.)

Ben: I tried. You're all morons.

Luther: Hey! Where are you going? 

Ben: To take a piss! Is that okay, Luther? Or do you need to run that by my parole officers too? 

Luther: Oh Shot! I was supposed to call him at 6!

(They dinner continues for a little until Viktor stands up.) 

Viktor: Okay, I gotta hit the road. 

Klaus: No, so soon. 

Luther: Come on, Vik! Stay a bit longer!

Diego: No, wait! Stay, man! 

Viktor: It's such a long drive. So, yeah.

Allison:I should go too. I've got an audition tomorrow. 

Klaus: Like a big, important audition, and we have to boot camp lines!

(Everyone starts getting up and leaving when Ben comes back in.)

Ben: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey! Where's everyone going? We haven't even gotten to the steak yet! 

Viktor: Party's over! 

Ben: No, No! okay. One last shot, on me. For old time's sake. Please. Klaus!

Klaus: No

Luther: Ignore him. 

Lila: Come one. He doesn't drink. 

Klaus: Sake doesn't count.

Ben: Exactly!

Luther: It doesn't? 

(Ben tries to hand a glass to Klaus.) 

Diego: Hey. Dude's sober.

(Klaus takes the glass and so does everyone else.)

Ben: Okay, then. Here's to the nonexistent Umbrella Academy! Kanpai!

Everyone: Kanpai! 

(They all take a shot and leave but Ben sits back down.) 

Luther: You coming? 

Ben: I'm gonna savor my last minutes of freedom and finish this shrimp, if you don't mind.

Luther: What about curfew?

Ben: Relax, Captain tight-ass. I'll meet you back at your shithole later.

Luther: Captain tight-ass? 

(Luther leaves and Ben takes out the jar of marigold that is now half empty since he used the other half to spike the Hargreaves' drinks. He opens the jar again, pouring some into his glass.) 

Ben: See you on the other side, Fuckfaces.

(He drinks it all.) 

(Y/n had looked into their world once again while she was getting ready to leave and saw what Ben had done to her siblings and decided that she had to go then. They were going to need her help when they got their powers back and she may or may not kill Ben in the process. Either way, it was time to go home.) 

Y/n: Don't worry guys, I'll be home soon.
