 F: "What's the date?"

F: "What's the date?"

Me: "The exact date!"

V: "The 24th."

F: "Of what?"

V: "March."

Me: "Good."

               —about 10 seconds of silence—
L: "So, are we gonna talk about what just happened?"

      —Five continues to make his sandwich—

L: "It's been 17 years."

Me: [scoffs] "It's been a lot longer than that." I pat his right shoulder.

L: "I haven't missed that."

D: "Where'd you go?"

F: "The-" I cut Five off.

Me: "Future. It's shit by the way."Five looks over and gives me a death glare.

K: "Called it!!" I snicker at Klaus's comment.

Me & F: "We should've listened to the old man."

F: "You know, jumping through space is one thing, but jumping through time is a toss of a dice." Five stops as he sees me studying Klaus. He looks over at Klaus and also studies him.

Me & F: "Nice dress." Me and him say at the same time. I look at him in shock. I think it's so weird how me and him are finishing each other's sentences and saying things at the same time.

K: "Oh, well, danke!" Klaus bows his head in his lap and then raises back up.

V: "Wait, how did you guys get back?"

Me: "In the end, we had to project our consciousness forward into a suspended quantum state version of ourselves that exists across every possible instance of time."

D: "That makes no sense."

F: "Well it would if you were smarter." Diego stands up and walks towards Five. I mouthed to him 'do something I dare you.' But Luther held him back.

L: "How long were you guys there?"

F: "Forty-Five years."

Me: "Give or take." I sigh out.

L: "So what are you saying? You're 58?"

Me: "No."

F: "Our consciousness is 58."

Me: "But apparently, our bodies are 13 again." I mutter.

V: "Wait, how does that even work?"
God! She says wait a lot! Does she have to say it every time she starts a sentence?

F: "Delores kept saying the equations were off."
There he goes bringing up that stupid manikin up again! Ugh, I hate her. I hate Delores.

Me: "Eh." I roll my eyes at his little comment about Delores.

V: "Delores?"

Me: "Hmm." I look over at her and nod my head very rapidly with my eyes very wide open.

F: "Guess we missed the funeral." Five said as he tapped on my shoulder and showed me the newspaper.

L: "How'd you know about that?"

F&Me: "What part of the future do you not understand dumbass?" say in a frustrated tone.

F: "Heart failure, huh?" He ask Luther.

D: "Yeah."

L: "No."

F: "Hmm."

Me: [clicks tongue] "Nice to see nothing's changed." I say as me and Five walk away to our bedrooms.

A: "Uh, that's it? That's all you have to say?"

F: "What else is there to say?"

Me: "Circle of life."

As me and Five walk up to our bedrooms with both surprisingly went to our closets to change our old outfits. As we look in our closets we find out that we only have 'The Umbrella Academy' uniforms.
Me & F: "Ag, shit."
