On a March morning in the main dining room of The Othersiders Mansion, five people are sitting at the table, eating their breakfast quietly with the only noise being their chews, sips, and the sounds of silverware lightly hitting porcelain dishes. Out of nowhere one of the Othersiders, Sam, a tall, slim, light-skinned, dark haired man, turned to his wife Jackie, a slightly shorter woman of Chinese descent with lightly tanned skin and dark hair, and decided to have a conversation with her.

Sam looked at her and asked, "Did you know that ten percent of the Russian government's income comes from the sale of Vodka?"

"Oh, cool," Jackie responded.

After that odd conversation the couple decided to go back to eating their breakfast, returning the dining room to its original level of quietness. All that came to an end when the owner of the mansion, Riley, a tall, fit man with brown hair, came into the dining room arguing with his friend Duncan, another tall, fit man, with dark hair and teal eyes.

Riley looked back at his friend and screamed, "No Duncan, you cannot borrow 500 grand!"

"Gees, I thought you would be more grateful to the person who saved your and your friends and family's asses nearly 6 years ago," Duncan remarked as an attempt to gain sympathy.

"I am grateful, I just don't want you to waste all of my money?"

"What, all your money?! You're the richest man in the world!"

"Well, I guess you're right. Wait, what happened to the money I gave you last week?"

It was at this point that Duncan decided that he would have to stay in the room for a while to explain his predicament. Duncan pulled up the chair at the end of the dining table while Riley sat at the end of the long side of the table.

"Oh yeah, I used some of that money to settle a lawsuit from CCTV News. Remember when I was interviewed by Tian Wei? Well, apparently you can say that Mao Zedong was an asshole that turned to the dark side, but god forbid if you tell a legitimate joke about it. As for the rest of the money, I used it to pay some of your guys to bring Sydney Newman back from the dead. I tried to get him to explain Doctor Who to me but it failed. Explain to me how can your wife's parents be your best friends and your time machine?"

Leaning back in his chair Riley told Duncan, "You know, the Mullards are about 2,400 miles west of here and the Lopezes are about 2,500 miles east of here."

Duncan looked at Riley with a confused look on his face and asked, "So?"

"So, I think you could bother them with your problems."

"No, I don't think so. We had a falling out a while back and we haven't talked since."

Realizing that he was getting nowhere with Riley, Duncan decided to leave the dining room and get onto other important issues.

"Fine. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to make a call," Duncan said.

Riley looked at him and asked, "Wait, what kind of call?"

"Just a call," Duncan said before he walked away.

Soon after Duncan exited the room, Jackie got up from her chair and did the same, exposing her baby bump that formed after nine months of pregnancy.

Sam observed Jackie as she walked away, telling the Litman family in a scoffing manner, "Goddamn, she's gotten fat."

Once Sam left the dining room as well, the Litman family was in the clear to make any comment they wanted.

"My god, I can't believe Sam doesn't know yet," Kc, a Blonde woman and Riley's wife said.

Riley turned to his wife and asked, "Yeah, how do you think he's going to respond when the baby comes?"

The words "when the baby comes" angered Riley's son, Matthew, a four year old boy with fair skin, Blond hair, and blue eyes. He despised the fact that he would no longer be "the baby of the mansion" as Jackie said when she told him she was pregnant.

Matthew looked away from his parents and whispered in an angry and annoyed tone, "Pfft, new baby."

Matthew thought he was being quiet when he was whispering, but his whisper got his parents attention.

Riley looked at his son and asked, "Matthew do you have anything to say?"

"Well, I did my part of my birthday invitation list," Matthew said reminding his parents that he did what they asked of him awhile back.

Now looking back at his wife, Riley came up with a plan to keep Duncan from annoying him anymore than he had already done.

"Hey, maybe we could invite Duncan's old friends and they could make up," Riley told Kc.

Kc quickly thought it over and agreed by responding, "That's a great idea, I'll send them an invitation."

The Litmans followed the examples of Duncan and the Hirschs before them, leaving the dining room when they were done. The dining room was now completely void of people, except for one, Zack. The light skinned, dirty blond haired apprentice of Duncan sat at the end of the dining table eating his breakfast alone after observing all of the conversations that took place that morning.

Zack sat in his chair, finishing his breakfast, when he rhetorically asked, "How did we go from Duncan to Jackie and back to Duncan again?"
