It's a Love Story! The Sequel

Ch. 27

While Chanel and the kids go to check on Rob in the hosptial, Big Cat, Sterling, and Drama go back to the fantasy factory.

It's just them and nobody else in what feels like an empty building without Rob and Big and all of the excitement that usually happens there.

They all walk beside each other, staring and looking around the main area of the fantasy factory.

Finally, Sterling breaks the silence by sighing deeply.

"It's just not the same anymore" he said while shaking his head in disappointment.

Big Cat and Drama look around with disappointed faces as they walk through each room.

They go in Rob's office and look around while picking different things and looking at those too.

"Hey look", Drama said as the others turned to see him hold up the Bobby light suit that Rob used to wear.

"It's blobby light" said Drama, "remember when we all did that music video where we were all big and Chanel was lil pig?".

"Chunky as charged, yeah I remember that" said Sterling.

"That was insane, but it was hilarious" said Big Cat.

Drama then comes to find Rob's laptop that still works.

"Wanna watch it? I can look it up." he said as he held up the laptop in his hand.

Drama sets up everything and searches for the video on YouTube.

Sterling and Big Cat sit right on each side of him, watching him search for the video.

They watch the video and start to laugh at some of the parts that they thought were funny.

"I miss it, I wish we could do something like that again" said Sterling.

They eventually put away the laptop and leave Rob's office and enter into a closet area where they keep all of the costumes that everyone wore before with all of the certain events that happened with the fantasy factory.

They pull out boxes, some small and some big with all of the costumes that were used.

Drama laughs as he pulls out a fake beard and mustache out along with the leopard suit that Big Cat wore once to Mardi Gras.

"What's so funny?" asked Sterling as he was looking through one of the boxes.

Drama holds up the mustache and beard in one hand and the leopard suit in the other.

"It's what Big Cat wore to Mardi Gras when we made a float for Joe C and I remember we called it Joe C and the Magic Goatee" said Drama.

"I hated that outfit, but the float and everything else was fun" said Big Cat.

"Look" said Sterling as he pulled out another costume, "it's the ugly thing I wore when we went larping that one time".

"Yeah, that is something I'll never do again" said Drama seriously.

"Me neither" said Big Cat.

"It definately wasn't my idea of fun" said Sterling.

They keep digging through until Big Cat finds one of Big's costumes, particularly the one he wore when Rob was Kid Lightning.

"I forgot about this one" said Big Cat as Sterling and Drama look over and see the costume.

"That was when Rob was kid lightning and I was hail boy" said Drama, "Big was black thunder I think".

"Must've been a fairly decent memory then" said Sterling.

"It was, especially when we saw all of those kids who were in the make a wish program, that was probably the best part" said Drama.

"Well, might as well put this stuff back up" said Sterling.

"Yeah" said Drama as he put away the fake goatee and leopard suit while Big Cat put away the black thunder suit.

After all of the costumes were put away, the guys headed away from the closet to somewhere else.

That "somewhere else" happened to be Big's old office.

They notice the big bear chair that he used to sit in and his desk with some of the poster that he had put up on the walls.

"It's sad that we won't be seeing Big here in this little office of his anymore" said Sterling.

"What are we going to do with his stuff now that he's gone?" Big Cat asked.

"I guess we either sell the stuff or send it back to his family maybe, although I don't think they'll really need a huge bear chair" said Drama.

Sterling sits down in Big's chair, but gets up immediately afterward because of the sad awkward feeling it gave him to be sitting in his chair knowing he has passed away.

After looking around and sitting in Big's chair, a realization came to Sterling in a thought.

"Maybe we should just shut down the fantasy factory" Sterling thought to himself until he realized he had let it slip out of his lips the minute it came into his mind.
