George sat one the couch and ran a hand through her shoulder length dirty blonde hair. She let out a stressed out sigh and picked up the remote control. Mason just stood there staring at her in shock. He grabbed the remote from her and tossed it onto the coffee table.
"What the fuck Mason?"
"George how can you be so casual about this? You do realize that you just spoke with death."
"Yes Mason I'm not stupid."
"But it was death!"
"Very good Mason."
"George this is insane you reaped a graveling! I mean a graveling! Do you know how incredibly fucked up that is?"
"Listen I am just as freaked out as you are right now but I am just going to be cool until I know what the hell is going on and what's going to happen to me." She said picking up the remote again.
"Well fuck this! I am going to go tell Rube what's going on." Mason said as he turned for the door.
George quickly stood up and grabbed the collar of his coat, pulling him down onto the couch.
"No you can't tell Rube. I don't know how he will react and quite frankly I don't want to know how he is going to react. Please Mason you cannot tell him."
"Well I have to tell somebody George."
"No you don't. Just keep your big mouth shut until I tell somebody first."
Mason didn't answer back.
"Promise Mason."
"Ok fine I wont say a thing until you do."
George released her hand from his jacket collar and put her feet up onto the coffee table. Mason looked over to her and a big grin spread across his face.
"What?" George asked looking at him.
"You really reaped a graveling?"
"Yeah I did."
"Hmm." Was all Mason replied and they just sat there in silence watching TV.
Time seemed to speed up while George and Mason mindlessly sat in front of the TV. At some point it had gotten dark outside and Daisy had come home, said some things that they both ignored, and went to sleep. Mason eventually fell asleep but George sat there all night wide-awake. She had trouble grasping the fact that she did something that no other reaper could do. The sun eventually came up and Daisy came down the stairs looking perfect as usual.
"Are you ok Georgia you look nervous," Daisy asked as she picked up her purse, getting ready to leave for Der Waffle Haus.
"Me oh yeah I'm fine, perfect, couldn't be better." George replied with a big fake smile and her best phony laugh.
"Ok," Daisy said not convinced, "well you better wake him up and get to Der Waffle Haus. You don't want to be late again and piss Rube off."
Daisy left the house and George looked over at Mason sleeping. She had just realized that her legs were asleep due to the fact that Mason spread out over the whole couch and laid his legs over hers. George pushed his legs off of hers and rubbed her legs.
"Mason. Mason. Mason get up."
When Mason didn't stir George threw a pillow at his head and he bolted up.
"What?" He said startled.
"Come on and get ready we have to get to Der Waffle Haus soon."
Mason and George got ready in 20 minutes and drove to Der Waffle Haus. They slid into the booth and sat across from Daisy, Roxy, and Rube.
"Morning Mason, peanut. How's it going?" Rube asked.
Mason and George looked to each other for a moment and then back at Rube.
"Fine everything is really great." George answered quickly.
Kiffany came over and filled up everyone's coffee cups. She took down their orders and went back to the kitchen to give their orders to the chef. Things were going smoothly so far until George turned her head and saw death sitting at the table next to the booth. Death had her feet up on the table and was drinking a cup of coffee. When she saw George looking at her she smiled at her and picked up her chair and sat at the end of George's table. Rube, Roxy, and Daisy looked up and looked at the girl like she was crazy.
"Can we help you?" Roxy asked annoyed at this anonymous girls rudeness.
"No that's ok Roxy you can't help me."
Roxy shot her a look and then looked at her confused.
"How the hell do you know my name?" Roxy asked confused.
"Well Roxy I know everybody's name. Let's see now he's Rube, she's Daisy, he's Mason, and of course we have George."
"How do you know who we all are?" Rube asked, taken aback.
"Oh come on Rube don't be so naïve."
Death reached across the table and picked up a small daisy that was in the vase at the end of the table. Death placed it in the palm of her hand and right before everyone's eyes the daisy began to wilt and dry out. In only a few seconds the daisy turned gray, crumpled up and turned into dust. Death blew the flower dust out of her hand and looked up at everyone's shocked faces with a smile on her face.
"What do you want from us?" Rube asked shocked but also realizing that death was was right in front of them all.
"Oh I don't want anything from you. I just came here to talk to George."
Everyone turned and looked at George.
"Now can I tell them Georgie?" Mason asked giving George a weak smile.
