A pine tree diverges in a wood. Chapter 1
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
…...
"How could you do this to me Lilly!?" Shouted the irate man.
Lilly flustered, "hey now come on, you lied about your identity when we first met". Pointed out Lilly quickly.
But the man wasn't deterred, "true, but my lie didn't make you a felon in 49 states"!
Lilly tried again. "It's was just a few small years I added to my age-"
"Those 'small years' you left out will cost me everything! The man takes a deep breath to calm himself, then he began again.
"Look, I was in a bad place for a long time...but now I've only recently pulled myself together, I have a great career in front of me where I can really help people...I just can't deal with this now...I think...I think I should go."
The girl wanted to say more, beg, plead, anything to prevent the man she loved from leaving...
But she knew she'd messed up, her lie had ruined everything. So instead she just sat there silently as the best thing that ever happened to her walked out her life forever.
All alone, she subconsciously put her hands to her stomach.
Should I have told him? She thought to herself in hushed whisper. No, she asserted. He's a great man, who will move on to do greater things...I won't let my mistake ruin that...I might need him...but the world needs him more...
And without another thought, Lilly Pines reached out and closed the still open door.
...12 YEARS LATER...
"A car crash?!" Shouted an irate Stanford pines. He'd driven all night to get here in time for the funeral, so his mood hadn't been great to begin with.
The Attorney rolled his eyes with disgust. "Some idiot was texting and driving...need I say more?"
"Yeah you can tell me where the moron is so I can the beat him from here to Timbuktu!"
The attorney gave a small sad smile. "The moron in question also died in the crash...so make of that what you will."
Stanford breathed in and out to steady himself. "And the kids are really my
responsibility now?"
The lawyer nodded. "That's what the will indicates...among other things. While were on the subject where are the kids now?"
Stan groaned at the realization of how messed up the situation was. "Lilly sent them to my place for the summer; I got the news the day before they were supposed to show up. I asked my assistant Soos to stay behind to greet them."
"So they know nothing?"
"N-no they don't...aw geez, I'm gonna have to tell them aren't I?" Stans groans as he rubs his face with his hand. "Oh, that's gonna be a real hoot..."
...LATTER...
Hours after everyone else had left the cemetery, a lone man stands before the tombstone of one of the most amazing woman he'd ever met.
"Dang it, Lilly...why didn't you tell me? Had you told me, I would have stayed...career be frakked I would have helped"!
The man let out a small chuckle...
"Figures, I finally get my life back on track after almost dying"...and then you throw a major bombshell into it. That was always you Lilly, Just one roller coaster after another...course that's what I loved about you the most..."
Taking the time to brush a lone tear out of his eye, he puts a bundle of roses on the grave, and silently walks away.
As he walks he talks into his com-Link. "Sky?"
"Yes sir?" Speaks the most recent addition to the team over the link.
"I need a background check on a guy named Stan pines. Also tell May to have the bus prepped and ready to go in 5...were going to gravity falls." Said Phil Coulson as he walked to his waiting S.H.I.E.L.D. Plane...
