A/N: yep, they r all kinda depressing. The last 1 was sad, I'm not in a sad mood now. This should be ok.

Mae and Tuck were coming to the place that had been their home. They were surprised to find it exactly as they had left it. The only thing that was different was that the lights were on, and voices could be heard coming from the house.

Upon their entering, they could hear Jesse's voice. Mae ran into the room and hugged her son. Neither she nor Tuck thought it odd that Winnie was there with him.

After enquiring upon how everyone was, stories on what everyone had been doing started. Mae and Tuck went first.

"Well, as you all know, we left the jailhouse and spilt up," Mae paused.

"We went to see the world. It was quite an experience!" Tuck inputed.

"We saw the Queen! The one in England! Though I must say, that son of hers is a snake-" Mae was cut off by Tuck.

"You'll have to excuse her, that whole story upset her."

Winnie and Jesse were trying to hold in their laughter, but it came out anyways.

"Sounds like you two had a great couple of decades." Jesse stated as his laughter subsided.

"Oh, but that's not all!" Mae exclaimed, with the enthusiasm of a child. "We also went to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower!"

"French food is good, I especially liked those crepe thingys." Tuck added.

They went on for awhile, telling about all the places they had been, before they remembered that there WERE two other people in the room. Mae asked how they had been.

Jesse told them the he had spent the time at a college learning about technology.

"You had to have something called Social Security later on. I'm glad I took them when I did, though, of course, most of what I learned is updated. The Age of the Internet, or something like that."

Winnie seemed to know more about computers than they did, and filled them in on more of the internet. "Well, child, I almost forgot. What ever possessed you to drink the water?"

Winnie told Mae her depressing story.

"That's about THE most depressing thing I've ever heard; and I'm over 200 years old, approaching 300!"

`*`*`*`

Miles looked in the window.

He didn't know how they were going to react to HIS news. It was even more surprising than listening to Winnie. He had always known that she would drink the water.

He got up the courage to enter.

This was gonna be shocking.

`*`*`*`

Miles entered just as Jesse had been telling about one of the students in his college. Everyone was laughing.

When their gaze fell on Miles they became silent.

They then looked at the woman beside him.

Everyone started talking at once.

"Miles! It's so good to see you!"

"How have you been?"

"Come here and give me a hug!"

Miles hugged his mother. Everyone stared, again, at his companion.

"Why Miles!" his mother said motioning to the woman, "don't leave us all in the black about this pretty thing with you!"

Miles smiled, and they all sat down.

"Sasha, mother, is a v. special person. She and I met-"

"-at a museum." Sasha interrupted.

Miles smiled. "Yes, an art museum."

"Oh great!" Jesse whispered to Winnie. "That means she's as serious as Miles!" Winnie coughed to hide a laugh.

Jesse's impression was completely destroyed when Miles spoke up next.

"She was trying to persuade the guard that the Feng Shui in the room was off." Jesse, who had been studying in college remember, was the only one who laughed at this announcement.

"Feng what?!" asked Winnie. "What the heck is that?" Jesse quickly explained to everyone else.



`*`*`*`

Sasha, as they soon found, was entertaining. She was funny and quick- witted. Everyone wondered why she had come with Miles.

"Well, Sasha." Miles seemed to be uncomfortable. "Sasha."

"Miles and I are getting married."

The room was quiet as everyone reflected upon how exactly to take this announcement.

"We stopped by the spring on the way here." Miles had finally found his voice.

"And? Come on Miles! The suspense is killing me here!" Jesse gave a puppy-dog face.

"I drank the spring," Sasha finally announced.

"Well, now. The spring certainly DOES seem to be used a lot lately." Tuck mused.

`*`*`*`
