"HELLO?!"
Five yelled as he ran, me sitting in his shoulder.

"IS ANYONE THERE!"

Five stopped and looked around.

"What is it?"
I asked.

Five looked down at me on his shoulder, still in mouse form.

"She yelled back"

I still didn't hear anything.

"WHAT'S YOUR NAME?!"
Five yelled.

There was silence.

"Did she say anything?"
I asked after the silence went on for a bit too long.
Five started running again.
I clung to his clothes, my claws digging into the fabric.

"She said here name"
Five replied, still running and looking around frantically.

"What's her name?"
Five took a shark turn that almost threw me off him completely.

"Delores"
Five said under his breath.

Eventually, after a few more minutes of Five shouting and running around like a maniac, he stopped in front of three mannequins.
He stared at the one in the middle, she didn't have legs and her paint was chipped slightly on her face.
Five picked her up.
I was a mixture of concerned and confused about what Five was doing.

"Please don't tell me that's Delores"

Five looked at me.

"Quiet! Y/n, she can hear you"

"Oh god"
I covered my forehead with my little mouse paw.
"What was in that wine you drank"

Five looked at the mannequin- oh sorry, "Delores" for a few seconds before running back to our base (AKA, the academy) with her, me still on his shoulder.

Once we got back, I shifted back to a human and sat next to Five.
Five places Delores opposite home and sat next to me.

We sat in silence few what seemed like forever.

"Five"
I said.

He turned to face me.

"I think it would've been Smart to actually gets something apart from a mannequin as supplies."

"Right, sorry"

Five stood up and start walking away, but stop after a few steps.
He turned around.

"What if I tried to blink there?"

Five hasn't blinked since he got us stuck in 2019.

"Fine, but it'll get dark soon so be quick"

Five nodded and closed his eyes, he took a few breaths and shook out his arms, his way of getting hyped up I guess.
He start running and then

*ZAP*

He blinked.

I threw my hands into the air.

"YES! There's still hope for us yet!"
I laughed and did a little victory dance.

While dance, I accidentally kicked a pile of concrete and something shiny fell out.
I stopped and looked at it.

It was one of Diego's knifes.

I just stared at it for a while before picking it up.
The knife was cold and smooth, the blade still sharp.
I held out my charm bracelet and looked at the knife charm, the one that represented Diego.

I miss Diego, him and all his picking fights and getting angry easily.

"OW"

Diego screamed as I stood on his foot again while ballroom dancing.

"That's the fourth time, y/n!"

"Stay focused Number Two
One never knows when the paso Doble will be the difference between life and death."

Diego rolled his eyes and we kept dancing.

"And Number Eight"

I turned to dad while still ballroom dancing.
"Yes dad"

"Try not to crush Number Two's feet"

I saw Five trying not to laugh out of the corner of my eye.
He was ballroom dancing with Allison.
I gave him the death stare and flipped him off.

I turned back to face Diego.
"What's going on between you and Five?"
He asked with a smirk.

I looked down and blushed.
"We're just... really good friends"

Diego wasn't convinced.
"Sure..."

I slapped his shoulder.

"We are! What's between us is nothing more than a friendship"

"So like an Allison and Luther type of friendship?"

"I HEARD THAT"
Allison yelled from the other side of the room.

Diego and I looked at her and rolled our eyes.

Suddenly, Klaus and Ben spun past us. They were dancing together.

"Guy's. You need to loosen up a bit."
Klaus said.

"Always so tense and angry"
He continued.

Him and Ben danced through the room.

I looked up and saw Vanya watching us from the second floor.

"OW"
Diego yelled again.
I stood on his foot again, that's five times now.

Year : 2019

I stared at Diego's knife for a while.

Five blinked back with warm clothes piled in his arms.
I slid the knife into my pocket.
Five poked his Five out from behind the clothes.

"Since it's gonna get pretty cold soon, I thought we would need something a bit warmer than these shitty uniforms."

He said putting the clothes down next to Delores.

"How was your time with Delores?"

Five asked.

"Well... we didn't really talk"

Five scoffed and blinked away with Delores.

"...Five?...FIVE?!"
