59 Chapter Fifty-Nine: Our Time (1/2)

Three years pass. It was the night of May 10th, 2195. Vivi, Alex, Finn, Rose, Holly, Tanya, Robin, Demetri and Blake were gathered at Vivi's house. Most of them were drinking together during the night and talking. Rose was the only one not drinking this night.

”I can't believe those people at Cafeteria won't leave me alone about it either!” Robin says. ”They keep bugging me about when I'm gonna find a 'girl' and settle down. I'm only 19! Get off my back, I've got plenty of time!”.

”You don't have much room to complain” Finn says, ”they're just trying to look out for you. It's what they do. Besides, you're lucky we're letting you drink. You're almost 20 years old, but since you haven't quite turned 20, you're not actually supposed to be drinking”.

”You better not turn into a complaining drunk either” Vivi says, ”otherwise, I'm not treating you to another drink”.

Robin slowly pulls his cup away from Vivi as if to poorly hide it from her. ”Anyways” he says, ”what about you, Alex? You still not looking for anyone?”.

”I'm not the romantic type” Alex says, then takes a drink from his cup.

”Oh, then may I recommend a certain psycho to you?” Robin says as he leans close to Alex and points at Vivi. ”She's not the romantic type either, seeing as how her last relationship ended last year”.

”First off” Vivi says, ”screw you for calling me a psycho. Secondly, he had it coming”.

Alex laughs and says ”I honestly tried not to laugh when that happened, but the guy... pfft- HA HA HA HA HA!”.

”Tell the story again!” Robin says, ”Please?”.

”Oh come on, it wasn't that funny” Vivi says. ”I met this guy named Fredrick. We went out for a couple months, and I thought things were going well. He wasn't super clingy or annoying... but then I found out he was two timing me”.

”AND YOU PULLED OUT YOUR ENTIRE ARSENAL OF GUNS ON HIM!” Robin says as he laughs really hard.

”It wasn't my ENTIRE arsenal...” Vivi says. ”Just the... twelve I hide under my jacket. It got embarrassing though. He started shaking and crying...”.

”AND THE MAN PISSED HIMSELF IN PUBLIC!!!” Alex shouts as he laughs really hard as well.

”Seriously” Vivi says, ”like why would you piss yourself in that scenario?”.

”To most normal people” Holly says, ”a dozen guns aimed at their heads is a terrifying sight. He was absolutely fearing for his life”.

”Yeah” Vivi says sarcastically, ”because pissing yourself is going to save your life when someone wants to shoot you... what are you going to do? Slide away on your own piss like you're ice skating?”.

”I think if I saw someone skating on piss” Tanya says, ”I'd piss myself laughing”.

”Can we please stop talking about piss?” Vivi asks. ”Dammit, now I've gotta go”. Vivi gets up and runs to the bathroom. When she gets back, Robin and Alex were snickering. ”What?” Vivi asks in a disappointed tone.

”How was your trip to the bathroom?” Robin asks. ”Did you... slide... when you were done?”. Robin and Alex start laughing very loudly.

”Ugh, men...” Vivi says.

”It wasn't that funny” Tanya says.

”It wasn't very funny at all” Holly says. ”Except, of course, when Fredrick actually did pee himself. Karma is amusing”.

”Look” Vivi says, ”all I know is, if someone tries to play me like that again, then they're probably getting shot”.

”Remind me to film it” Robin says. ”I wanna see the debut episode of 'Getting Dumped On Ice'. Make sure the next one really slides”.

”Oh, for the love of-” Vivi says, ”can we stop?”.

”Seriously though” Robin says, ”Alex needs to find someone so he stops being angry all the time... Vivi needs someone who won't two time her, or is at least comfortable with guns to his face. It could work you know?”.

”Eh, I don't know” Alex says as he thinks about it. ”I'm not the romantic type at all”.

”I'm not sure either” Vivi says, ”but I guess I could at least give him a shot”.

”Really?” Alex asks, confused. ”I guess I'll give it... a shot”. Alex, Robin and Finn begin laughing now.

”Yeah, real funny” Vivi says. ”Make sure you bring your best skates...”.

”I don't see why you'd need to find someone to settle down with though” Tanya says. ”It's not mandatory. I'm doing fine by myself with my daughter. I don't need another husband, and she doesn't need a step father”.

”Yeah” Holly says, ”I don't understand why you'd feel the need to look in the first place”.

”Everybody needs something in their life that they're proud of” Rose says. ”For some people, it's love”.

”For me, it's information” Holly says. ”The less people I have to meet in life, the better”.

”I'll drink to that!” Blake says.

”I'll drink to anything!” Demetri says.

After a while of talking and enjoying themselves, everyone leaves and goes to separate homes. Demetri found a place to stay, but still helps out at Vivi's shop during the days. Everyone else also had a home somewhere close by. The night passes peacefully, but early in the morning, something woke Vivi up. There was a pounding on her door. She gets up to check what was with all of the commotion, and was shocked by what she saw. She immediately starts calling the rest of the group. Everyone was sent a message or woken up early by Vivi telling them ”Come to my house immediately. It's urgent!”. Not long after that, Rose and Finn were the first to arrive. They knocked on Vivi's door, and Vivi opens the door just enough to peek her head through the crack of the door.

”What's going on?” Finn asks.
