We walked into Klaus's room to see him failing to knit something.

"Hey, get up. We're going," Five told Klaus.

"Where?" Klaus asked.

"To save the world," Five said.

"Oh, is that all? Great." Klaus put the knitting stuff down.

"So, Pogo said dad killed himself to get us all back together, right?" Five asked.

"Yeah, so?" Klaus asked as he looked for his shoes.

"So, it got me thinking. I had to jump to the future to figure out when it happened, but dad, he can't time travel. So, how'd the crazy bastard actually know to kill himself a week before the end of the world?"

"Well, you know..." Klaus started as he put on his shoes.

"Don't answer. That was purely rhetorical," Five told him.

Klaus and I both looked at him.

"Truth is, our whole lives, he's been telling us we'd save the world from an impending apocalypse," Five said.

"Yeah, but I always thought he just told us that to scare us into doing the dishes," Klaus said.

"Me too," Five and I said at the same time.

We looked at each other and smiled for a second before Five went back to pacing around the room.

"But what if the old man really knew it was going to happen?"

"Yeah, but how?" Klaus asked as he put on his shirt.

"No idea," Five said, "but the fact still remains, his fakakta plan worked. We all came home and Y/N woke up from her coma. Since we're here, we might as well save the world."

"Oh yeah? What, like, the three of us?" Klaus asked.

'uh, well, ideally no, but... gotta work with what I got," Five said.

We walked out of the room to see Diego running down the hall and into his room.

"Where have you been?" Five asked as we stopped by his door.

"Jail," Diego replied.

"Jail?" I asked.

"Long story. Where's Luther?" Diego asked.

"haven't seen him since breakfast," Five shrugged.

"Yeah. Two days until the end of the world ends, and he picked a great time to drop off the grid," Klaus said.

"Shit," Diego said walking out and standing in front of us, "Allison is in danger."

Five, Klaus, and I looked at each other and then back at Diego.

"Well, let's go!" I yelled.

The boys nodded and we ran out to the car.

We show up at a bar to see that Luther was there.

"Look," Klaus said as we walked inside.

"Trying a little hair of the dog, are we? Hm?" Klaus asked.

"Leave me alone," Luther said as he looked down at his beer.

Diego sat down, "Give us a minute."

"Okay. Come on. Maybe they'll brood each other to death," Klaus said.

We walked over to a table and leaned against it.

I felt eyes on me. So, I looked up to see Diego looking at us. I gave him a small smile which he returns before turning back to Luther.
