2 years later...






Jotaro sighed heavily as he dropped his keys and bag on the table near his front door. Another excruciatingly long week was finally over. He wanted nothing more than to change into his usual shorts and t-shirt and have a beer (or 5) under the umbrella of his beach side lounge chair.

Those were his weekend plans. Beach. Beer. Lounge chair.

He'd been to bust recently to really enjoy a weekend alone and it was starting to show. He was starting to scare his lab techs again. He was pretty sure the one he'd yelled at today, wouldn't be back come Monday.

Once he'd changed clothes, he made his way into the kitchen and opened his refrigerator. His eyes widened at the distinct lack of beer where he knew there should be 2 6packs waiting for him.

"What the hell?"

He closed the door and checked his pantry, maybe he'd just forgot to put them in there when he got home last night. God, that would ruin his plans if he had to go out and buy more.

The pantry was empty of beer as well.

"I know I bought that shit." he thought. "Ah, the cooler!"

He looked high and low throughout his garage. The cooler was gone.

"What the fuck?!"

He was getting pissed now. Beer and cooler missing? Growling at the world in general, he went back to his kitchen to look in the refrigerator one more time but paused when something caught his eye.

There was a Polaroid stuck to his refrigerator. It was taken from behind his umbrella and lounge chair. There was a second umbrella and chair and his cooler between them.

Someone was sitting in the new chair.

Every mental alarm he had started blaring in his mind. Someone broke in. Someone was waiting for him. That someone was probably a stand user intent on killing him.

That someone was about to have a bad fucking day.

He went out to his deck and could see the bastard out there relaxing on his beach, drinking his beer. He couldn't see any physical features with how the person was sitting and the umbrella hid their head from view.

Keeping watch for a stand attack with Star Platinum, he made his way down the beach toward the chairs. Half way, he saw the cooler open and close then a glowing green tentacle held a dripping beer up, giving a gentle shake as if inviting him to join.

Jotaro froze, "It can't be..."

"It's about time you got home. I was getting bored out here all by myself." Said a familiar voice he hadn't heard in such a long time.

As happy as he was to hear that voice, the jackass had broke into his house and taken his beer.

Shaking his head, Jotaro crossed the remaining distance and sat in his own chair. He held out his hand and Hierophant passed him his beer.

"You broke into my house."

"I did."

"Stole my beer."

"I brought more?"

"Since when do you drink beer?"

"I haven't seen you in 2 years and the first thing you do is question my drinking habits?"

Jotaro shrugged.

The redhead sighed, "I like to have a drink every now and then. Beer isn't my favorite but it'll do."
