IM BACK GUYS!!! I missed this just making random authors notes and saying weird things for example IM HUNGRY!!!!!!😩 but with a mix of Lucky Charms, Popcorn, and Peanut Butter (not all together but in separate bowls) I'll try to be as accurate with these words as possible

My heart was shattered at the fact that Vanya didn't remember me, especially after all we've been through.
"Look, you can either stay here and wait for the IKEA mafia to come back to kill you or you can come with me." Five suggested to her
He began to walk away which left Vanya with questions
"Wh... Why are they trying to kill me?" She asked as she followed
I grabbed hold of Fives arm and started to walk through the cornfield.
"Cause you're not supposed to be here, Vanya." Five explained to her
"In Dallas?"
"No. Here, in 1963."
We pushed through enough corn till we came to an open area, it was all knocked down corn in a perfect circle. I slightly gasped at the sight and stopped in my tracks along with Vanya.
"Holy shit." Vanya said in disbelief
"Yeah pretty wild, right?" Five asked as a smirk showed on his face while he examined the sight
He grabbed my hand and began to walk again.
"Good to see your powers are still intact. Let's go." He told her
She followed behind us as we finally reached the end of the circle and continued on. We got into V's car and drove to a restaurant to have catch Vanya up with her life.
The way there I was still speechless over the fact that one of my best friends forgot me, I didn't even notice that we arrived there until they started to get out of the car.
We sat down and sat in silence until the waitress came over and poured our cups (Now, Pour the tea- if no one gets this reference it's from Mulan)
The lady poured Fives cup and was about to turn around when he stopped her
"Leave the pot, dear." He told her
He set down the pot and walked off calling him a Lippy Little Shit.
"You gonna tell me what the hell's going on?" Vanya asked really confused and sounding very annoyed by our previous silence to the question.
Five tool in a breath and began to explain
"When you were a baby, you were bought by an eccentric billionaire. He raised you in an elite academy with seven other siblings with extraordinary powers, but in the year 2019 in order to avoid the apocalypse, we jumped into a vortex and ended up being scattered throughout the timeline in Dallas, Texas." He explained to her like it was apart of a normal conversation
Vanya was in a slight state of shock by hearing this all.
"Any questions?" Five asked
I took a sip of my coffee and tried to find the courage to actually say something to Vanya but I couldn't, I was scared that she wouldn't like me.
"What do you mean, "the apocalypse"?" Vanya asked him her voice lined with a bit of fear
"I mean the end of the world as we know it." Five told her
"Yeah, but how?" She sounded more frantic to know the truth now
Five and I looked at her with confusion
"You really don't remember anything?"
"No, nothing before a month ago." she admitted
"Then what do you remember?"
Vanya paused for a bit as though she was trying to remember more.
"I landed in, like a... back alley, got hit by a car. My head was ringing like crazy. I had no idea how I got there, or where I came from. What causes the apocalypse?" She finally asked
Five hesitated as his gaze shifted off before answering
"Asteroid Impact." He lied
I was taken aback by that, why did he lie?
"The big kaboom end everything. Just like the one that got the dinosaurs, except way worse." He started to fiddle around with his cup which was odd.
"The bad news is, it followed us here." He told her
"What do you mean "followed us here"." Vanya asked as she looked at him confused
He turned to her and looked her dead in the eyes.
"Eight days from now, the world ends in a nuclear doomsday. It's different disease but same result."
She looked at him with fear and disbelief
"That can't be right."
"I saw it with my own eyes. You were there. We all were." He looked back down at the counter
Vanyas head shot back looking something.
"Shit. I need to make a phone call." She said as she rushed out of her seat. To the phone on the wall
Five called to her but she was already at the phone. I turned to Five and looked at him confused, I was confused by a lot of things right now.
"You lied to her?" I asked him with my eyebrow raised
He took a sip of his coffee and shrugged, his eyes were still looking at the counter, and they were filled with sadness. I rubbed his back in an attempted to comfort him.
"You never fail to surprise me." I admitted to him with a smile
I could see the corner of his lips raise slightly, it seems like I'm better at comfort then I thought.
Five walked over to Vanya and hung up the phone on her.
"What the hell?" Vanya was clearly pissed off
"We don't have time for this."
"That's my friend you just hung up on."
Five grabbed her shoulder
"Listen to me. Those people from the field are coming after us. They are never going to stop. Do you understand me? We need to stick together. Fine the others, figure out how to stop doomsday. Whoever this person is, they can't be more important than the end of the world." His voice was quiet with a mix of soft and stern.
Vanya's expression shifted to anger to understanding. Fives hands dropped from her shoulder as he once again spoke.
"We need to go."
Vanya hung the phone up fully and followed.
I took in a breath and finally said something
"Hillo."
My face turned red as I realized that I messed up.
"Hi." Her voice had a confused tone to it
My movements started to become for awkward as I was swinging my legs to walk while we made our way to the car
"So, who's your friend?" I asked her
"Her name is Sissy." She told me with a smile and a slight blush on her face
"She sounds nice. How'd you two meet?"
Vanya tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"She uh- she hit me with her car." Vanya slightly giggled which was an odd but good thing to see
I looked at her with an odd expression as I was trying to come up with an answer for why she was acting this way. Vanya turned to me and saw my face.
"What?" She asked
"Nothing it's just- I've never seen you like this before." I told her
She went silent and went into the drivers seat. I slapped myself for saying that, it was hard to talk to her like we used to because now I'm just worried over if we'll be like we used to.
"What's wrong?" Five asked as I made my way to his side of the car
"I'm so worried about if Vanya will be my best friend again that I don't realize what I say to her." I admit to him
He chuckled and opened the passenger door for me
"Don't worry, she'll come around."
I got in and sat down, since Five and I were so small we both fit in the front seat perfectly. I had no idea about our next destination that it didn't even occur to me that Mel might be wondering where I am. Then I closed my eyes.
