We Only See Each Other At Weddings And Funerals

Alba's POV-

I watch as Five slams the breadboard down on the table. Shiloh jumps slightly at the loud noise as she sits on Klaus' lap.

"What's the date?" Fave asks as he grabs the bread "the exact date?"

"The 24th" Vanya says

"Of what?" He asks tilting his head and placing the bread he was taking out on the table

"March!" Shiloh states as she studies his face

"Good" he says looking at the small girl thoughtfully

"So are we gonna talk about what just happened?" Luther asks. When he gets no reply he stands up "it's been 17 years"

Five looks at him angrily "its been a lot longer than that" he then steps forward and through a portal and appears at the cabinet to grab the peanut butter and marsh mellows.

"I haven't missed that." Luther mutters

I glare at him "i sure have." And Five glances at me with a small smile

"Where'd you go?" Diego asks staring at the table

"The future." Five answers and walks back to his sandwich "it's shit by the way."

"Called it!" Klaus shouts and Shiloh whines as she jumps

"You guys suck at this not cussing thing." I sigh and shake my head

"I should've listened to the old man." Five continues as he opens the fridge "you know, jumping through space is one thing," he grabs the peanut butter and shuts the fridge. The door stays open a crack. "Jumping through time is a toss of the dice." He looks up at Klaus and Shiloh "nice dress."

Klaus looks at himself "oh well Danke" he and Shiloh say together.

"Wait how did you get back?" Vanya asks confused

"In the end i had to project my consciousness forward into a suspended quantum state version of myself that exists across every possible instance of time." Five states.

"That makes no sense." Diego says

"Well it would if you were smarter." Five quips

"It means uncle Five put his brain in a version of himself that always exists." Shiloh says smartly. When everyone looks at her surprised she shrugs "grandpa taught me."

Diego stands up like he wants to hit five but Luther stops him "how long were you there?" Luther asks

"Forty-five years. Give or take." Five says

Diego and luther sit down in shock "so what are you saying? That you're 58?"

"That is how math works Luther." I say annoyed.

Five smirks and looks up "no, my consciousness is 58. My body is apparently 13 again." He cuts the sandwich in half and hands one half to Shiloh who grins and bites into it.

"Wait, how does that even work?" Vanya asks

"Delores kept saying the equations were off. Eh. Bet she's laughing now." Five says biting his sandwich

"Delores?" Vanya asks but is ignored

Five picks up a newspaper "hmm. Guess i missed the funeral."

"How did you know about that?" Luther asks

"What part of the future don't you understand?" Shiloh asks sassily

Five smirks at the little girl "heart failure huh?"

"Yeah." Diego

"No." Luther

Five nods and clicks his tongue "nice to see nothing's changed." He goes to leave but pauses "little child. Come with me." He says to Shiloh. After i nod she jumps up and runs over to take his hand. They walk out.

"Thats it? thats all you have to say?" Allison asks

"What else is there to say? The circle of life." Five calls

"People die!" Shiloh states as she eats the last of her sandwich and they leave

"Well..." Luther grunts "that was interesting."

Shiloh's POV-

I watch as uncle Five walks to his closet. I sit on his bed and smile "mummy told me stories about you. She said i am smart like you."

Five nods "you are. Very intelligent." He opens the closet and sees only his uniforms "shit."

I giggle softly "do you think there is a littler version of the uniform? For me?"

He shrugs and nods "lets go look."

We head over to a door with a golden 9 on it "this is my room uncle Five."

"Knowing Father he had a uniform ready for you." He says and opens the door. It was different than i remember. The crib was changed into a big girl bed. Winnie the pooh was gone and replaced with light shades of green and brown. The bed had floral print sheets and there was a dirt colored rug. There were plants and a little tree in the room. There was a couch under the window filled with animal stuffies and a wooden vanity

"Woah!" I squeal and run to the closet. I swing it open and gasp. There it was. One uniform. Only one. Grandpa knew i was gonna be here. I grab it and bounce "Look uncle Five!"

He grins and nods "I'm gonna go get dressed. Meet me in the hall"

I nod and start changing. When im dressed. I look in the mirror "mummy is gonna hate this!" I then run to the hall and meet up with uncle five. We head down to the living room and I stand next to him. I try copying his stance when auntie Vanya walks in.

Ooohh drama!
