- Outside Wallace's House, 7:37, it's still raining -

"Hey... Hey! Wallace! Dude! Hey! Wake up!" Scott banged on the door, eventually giving up. "Y/N, bust the door down."

"Wait, what? No, that's illegal." You refused, shaking your head.

"And I don't wanna fix my door, thank you." Wallace's voice was heard behind the both of you.

"Hi Wallace." You greeted.

"Wyenn, Scott. I brought you both a double double and a sour cream glazed. Enjoy." Wallace handed the two of you some Tim Horton's.

"Thanks, dude." You said as you took a sip of your coffee. "Where've you been, by the way?"

"I was just walking to Mobile to the bus stop. What are you two doing here so early? It's not even nine." Wallace answered.

"Scott woke up early and then woke me up to get him home, so here we are." You explained, before yawning.

"I thought I was wide awake, but I wasn't." Scott added, before yawning as well. "And I forgot you had my key."

"Sorry for not reminding you of that, man. I forgot, too." You apologized.

"Aww, poor widdle babies." Wallace teased, unlocking the door and letting the both of you inside.

"Actually, I have to go wake up the others and get them to their houses. So, catch up with you later." You said as you made video wings and took off into the sky.


- Later that morning -

After playing taxi to a bunch of sleepy people, you were finally back at Wallace's home. He saved your doughnut and coffee, even reheated them so they'd still be warm.

While you were busy sketching things in your notepad, just as you finished up the last of your coffee, you heard Scott's now melancholic tone.

"You know what sucks?" He asked, to nobody in particular.

"What?" You and Wallace humored him.

"Everything!" Scott complained.

"You're not wrong. But, like, in a general sense." You pointed out.

"Psh. Listen to this, okay? Just listen." Wallace paused as the sounds of bacon sizzling on the pan were heard. "You hear that? That's market bacon hitting pan. Today, a child is born unto us, and his name will be Bacon."

"And his baptism will be one of grease and deliciousness." You played into the metaphor, giggling.

"Smell it? Do you smell that? Smell it!" Wallace exclaimed, fanning the air.

"I smell it!" Scott exclaimed, covering his ears in annoyance.

"Everything does not suck." Wallace told him, as he continued to cook.

"What are you worrying about? You got a girlfriend, two of her exes are cool with us, and four of the other five remaining aren't a concern for now. Live in the moment, Scott." You advised.

"I know, it's just... it's just Envy. And everything!" Scott cried out covering his face in frustration.

"It's the past, guy. It's over, forget about it." Wallace reassured.

"But she's back! She's here!" Scott groaned.

"Scott, I'm not gonna pretend to be an expert or anything, but the past is history. Sure, it's what shapes us into who we are, but... the point is that we can't dwell on it. We can't live in the past, we have to move forward." You explained.
