Day 52: May 4, 2020

Today is my absolutely favorite holiday. May 4th, Star Wars Day, also known as the day in which we celebrate a cinematic masterpiece.

I'm up early, making a list of what we'll need to sit down and binge all things Star Wars, and by the time others are up, I'm ready to roll.

"Happy Star Wars Day!" I shout as Rose and Emmett come into the kitchen. Rose rolls her eyes, but Emmett frowns.

"What now?"

I jump up, handing him my schedule for the day. "Star Wars Day. May the fourth. You know, may the force be with you?"

Emmett shrugs. "I've never seen Star Wars."

The gasp that comes out of my mouth is unholy, and Rose snorts across the kitchen. "Oh shit," she mutters into her cup of coffee.

"Star Wars virgin?" I ask, my eyes focused on Emmett. He looks confused and slightly uncomfortable. I grunt, grabbing his arm. "Don't worry," I tell him. "We'll get you on the right path in no time.

I sit down to add some notifications to my schedule, keeping in mind that this will be Emmett's first time viewing the movies. Emmett and Rose leave the kitchen as I keep working, and it's not long until Edward is coming down for his own coffee.

"Hey, Ali. Happy Fourth," he yawns.

I have the best big brother in the world. "Happy Fourth!"

He moves to pour his own coffee, and I notice he's pouring a second cup, probably for Bella.

"What do you have in store today?" he asks, sipping his coffee and leaning against the counter. I grin.

"Full Monty," I tell him. "Emmett is a Star Wars Virgin."

Edward smirks. "Sounds like a good time. Do you need anything?"

I nod, relieved he's offering. "I'll make you a list."


So everyone worried about them going to the grocery store often. I haven't written it in explicitly, but I've imagined most of them ordering online and they are doing the drive through pick up. On this occasion, they are heading into the actual store to do the shopping. It was one thing I kept doing through Lockdown to keep me sane. I needed to be out of the house, even if it was to go to the store for bananas and eggs, lol.

Also, I forgot to mention this sooner, but there is a time jump again in this chapter. They're now 52 days into their Lockdown. :)
