"You didn't do it. What?! You really did it?! For them? You didn't think of me! What about Vic? Without money, Vic gets nothing: no food, no clothes and... oh! Neither do we! How are we supposed to get to Los Angeles now? Did you think about that? Did you think what we're going to do now without money... and I'm freezing, because it's cold here...", Abigail, who is completely unrest, insults Mexx all the time. He was standing on her right. He was trying to think about something else.
He was still silent.
"Aha? So you don't wanna talk to me? Then I'll just go away and won't disturb you. You don't care that you now have a wife and a son, neither of whom have a home!", Abigail yelled at him and ran away.
The crowd discuss Mexx and Lewis' decision. After a while, Shane stepped out of the crowd and went to Mexx. "What's up? I hope you don't have any marital problems! Because I saw Abigail running away from you. Did something happen?", Shane was worried about his best friend. Shane and Mexx are good friends. So when they have problems they meet. The reason why they're good friends is because Mexx paired Shane and Emily. After a short time they married. Both are happy thanks to Mexx.
"Ah, hey Shane. No. Everything great. Just a typical Abigail-ish fight. The best way to end the argument is to keep silent. Then she gets angry, screams and eventually runs away like a teenager. Mostly she comes back late in the evening, that's how it was in Stardew. I don't really know how it ends here but let's hope she'll come back towards evening or night.", Mexx spoke calmly and wearily. It wasn't the first time Abigail had run away.
"Ha? Really?", Shane laughed. "Then I'm probably lucky. I rarely have arguments with Emily. She's also pretty busy with our kids. You know we have two children, a son and a daughter. Max and Abby. We called them that because you guys are our best friends."
Mexx didn't really listen to Shane's talk. Instead, he started telling him about Abigail's development over the past few years: "I have to say though, Abby has improved over the past few years. She used to be such a big fan of swords, amethysts, hated summer, loved dark caves... and yes, a lot more. When I married her, I showed her what real weapons are, real firearms from the army, how to shoot with them! Yes, you heard right. Even if I was shot in the war... And oh, miracle! She actually sold the one sword on the internet, lost interest. Then I taught her how to handle them.", he stopped briefly. "I then showed her that summer is the real hero, took her to the beach, and let her hear the sound of the waves. Then she told me, as I still remember, that she had never done this in her life before and then she understood what summer really was, the warmth, the water, the ocean. I even had a water fight with her and she said we will keep doing it until the summer ends. She had so much fun back then.. Of course, I didn't forbid amethysts, I don't do that, I don't forbid something like that. After all, I am a democratic person.", Mexx finished.
"Oh, I'm sorry about the war... You know, in all honesty, when you moved to Stardew I thought you were a loser. But then I found out that you were in the army, that you're a foreigner, you have soooooo much behind you-" Mexx grabs Shane by the neck.
"Don't call me foreigner, got it?", Mexx said, looking deeply in Shane's eyes.
"O...ok", Shane said. He stuttered. Then Mexx let go of him. Shane went back to his family, which was now really big, with his children and Emily.
He looked for Victor. He found him and said: "Come on Vic.", He took him in his arms. "We travel by train." He wants to go to LA quickly to find the apartment there. Since Abigail ran away, she doesn't come with Mexx and Victor. He still had a little money for there and back.
After an hour's drive, they arrived in the much larger city. The city really seemed endless, just endless. You couldn't see the end. But it was more important to find the apartment.
"So, 9 Cannelloni Street, Los Angeles, that's supposed to be the apartment.", Mexx said as he went through his adress book.
He took a taxi and drove to the street. Here, too, the sight was wonderful. Arrived in the dark street, Mexx looked for the apartment together with his son, whom he never lost sight of. Then he found a house, the house said 9.
"My apartment must be in this house.", Mexx muttered to himself.
Now he put the key in the lock and went through the first floor. He still remembered the floor where his apartment was. They waited in the elevator until they were on the 12th floor. Then they went out and went to the door and Mexx opened the door and looked into the apartment, which had been abandoned for more than 10 years. Wow. Doesn't look so bad. He stepped on the floor and fell trough it.
"Vic! Stay where you are! Don't go any further! I'm selling this apartment, I think. I don't need such an obstacle course..."
He somehow crawled out. "So, my son. As you can see, one learns from mistakes. I'll sell it tomorrow. Abigail won't be very angry and we'll get some money for us.", Mexx, completely wired in the cobweb.
"Wow, dad! You were attacked by Spiderman! And you have survived!", Vic hopped happily around.
"Shhh, little one. It's already 11pm. We have to get back to the others quickly. And somehow tell Abigail the bad but also good news." Mexx said.
He closed the crumbling apartment behind him and they quickly left the house and then took the train back to Zuzu.
