They both didn't know whether to laugh or question him and he didn't seem to want to stick on that situation, Elle, however, did pull out her phone and took a photo of them altogether.
She started texting before leaning closer to Sera,

"Oh my gosh I completely forgot to tell you about this cute girl I met at the bar last weekend, she was so sweet! She didn't seem like the complete party type though."
"And what's her name?"
Elle shrugged,

"I don't know, she went out for some fresh air then didn't come back but she was totally hot. You know I can't talk to mum about this stuff she'd only turn me away..."
"You're lesbian?"
They both looked over at Rick who was staring wide-eyed at Elle, she felt her face heat up as she gave a short and quick nod.

"But you don't look..."
"Technically I'm bisexual but I aim more towards girls, and yes I don't LOOK bisexual."
He shrugged,
"Nothin' wrong with liking girls, I just never would've guessed from how you looked."

She opened her mouth to say something, probably rude but Sera stopped her pointing out that Pip was right beside them who looked confused.
Before anyone could speak again Elle heard her phone buzz and saw a text,
"I got to go, job interview, talk soon okay? Later!"

"Elle!"
She stopped at the curtain and glanced back at Sera,
"Promise me that tomorrow you will come."
"What? Yeah sure, I promise now I got to go!"

Rick waited until he couldn't hear her running anymore before facing Sera and tilting his head,
He wondered why she made her promise before remembering that tomorrow was her final day.
"Are you telling her that you're dying...?"

"D-dying?"

Pip looked at them both before he jumped onto Sera's bed.
"W-what does h-he mean?"
She breathed in through her nose,
"Tomorrow I will also be going to heaven..."
"W-what?! No! You c-c-can't!"
"Pip..."

He gripped her gown and buried his face in her chest starting to cry,
"Aren't you s-scared!? W-what if you don't g-go to H-heaven!?"
She shushed him, hoping to soothe him before he had a panic attack.

"I don't know what lies for me after I go into my sleep, maybe I'll wake up in a wonderful place with angels and I'll have my own angel wings...maybe I won't. But it's okay, I'm a little scared too but it's okay to be scared..."

He slowly stopped trembling in her arms and as she rocked back and forth holding him close his tears slowly dried,
"I-if you g-go to heaven...I'll be alone...I-I'm scared..."
"I'm still here!"

Rick pointed to himself with a goofy expression making Pip smile a tiny bit.
She reassured Pip that when she passes she promises to watch over him even laughing when Rick said she'd haunt him instead if he was naughty.
