"Dave?" A familiar voice calls out to you. You turn around, and there he is. John Egbert. Your best friend, the person you miss the most in the entire universe right now. Not that you'd ever tell anyone can't really help yourself from running up to him and giving him the biggest hug Strider-kind has ever given. He's obviously surprised, but he hugs you doesn't last long enough for your liking. He lets go of you and smiles toothily.

"Dave, are you alright? You know I'll still be here tomorrow right?" He laughs at you, as if those 3 years apart never even happened. You're glad that things haven't changed.

"Shut up dude." You reply, a small smirk on your face as you hit his shoulder softly. "It's just weird not having you around."

"I know what you mean." John nodded. You almost hug him again, but decide that that would probably be weird.


Everything is dark. You're laying in your bed, on the meteor. You sit up and look at the countdown clock, which reads 2:15:14:5:11. Not even close.

You feel like crying. Being without your best friend for a couple days is hard enough, three years is just torture. You don't know how you'll survive this.
