(Season 5)

Life was a wreck for many reasons. The zootists were terrorising the city. Amber was in pain watching Jay and Trudy. May was double crossing everyone and it was weighing on her conscious. Salene was hurting over Pride- and now heavily starting to drink.

It seemed life was out to get them all and that day in the Kitchen signs of their cracking was becoming more apparent then ever before.

"Salene, what are you doing?" Amber said walking into the kitchen, holding baby Bray.

"Oh cooking," she replied with hint of slurred speech. She had been a little bit involved in drinking some wine as well.

"You're pouring wine on the counter top as you have clearly missed the cup and cooking rice with no actual water," Amber informed her.

"I no longer prepare food or drink with more than one ingredient." Salene said.

"Fine, then I'll do it," Amber replied with a sigh before taking the wine from her.

"Hey!"

"You've had to much and after watching Jay and Trudy all day- and those Zootists. I think it's my turn," Amber informed her as she dumped the water in the pot- and the read the box to see what she had to do to it.

Salene sat down at the table with baby Bray as Amber took over dinner- and May came charging into the room, she grabbed the wine from the counter and poured herself a cup.

"What's with you?" Salene asked.

"God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh," May replied sharply.

"And what are we too afraid to laugh at?" Amber said with eyebrow risen.

"The irony that for years we wanted computers and running water- and now that we have it- you guys don't actually want it," May informed her.

"Why would we coming from someone like Ram? All it's going to do is cause trouble," Amber protested.

"Yea, real trouble," May added silently.

She knew the truth and she hoped- that in the end it wouldn't bite her back but she had feeling it would do just that.

Amber then looked at the women, "Dinner is now officially ruined- so now what?" she replied sitting back down.

"More wine?" Salene suggested.

Amber looked at her, "Best idea I've heard all day".

Total words: 528- in short pretty short.

Thanks for reading hoped it was a nice short little thing. Not very hard or detailed but it did work.
