I had gone over to Simon's Friday night partly to watch the battle-star galactica box-set like I'd promised too; but also because I wasn't sure I could handle being in the flat knowing that it's true owner, the future Simon was dead. The present Simon wasn't exactly a good distraction but he was the only person who I really wanted to be around. I reached his house and raised my hand to knock but was stopped by Simon already pulling the door open. My surprise must have been obvious because Simon sheepishly explained "I didn't want someone else opening the door." I smiled at him it was actually kind of cute. I walked into the house looking around at the photos and drawings in frames on walls. Removing my coat slowly as I looked around in wonderment. "Wow, so this is the famous house of Simon Bellamy." I turned to my host who blushed. "L-let me give you the tour."

The tour had ended with Simon's bedroom it was a little small but over all it seemed like him. Especially with the furnishings and their state of cleanliness. I walked up to his window overlooking the road outside. I lent forward a little trying to catch a glimpse of the flowers that had been planted out front, presumably by Simon's mother. In doing so I accidentally knocked down some DVD cases. I gasped in shock immediately dropping the ground to pick them up apologizing profusely to Simon who silently appeared beside me helping collect the cases. "Hey if you don't mind me asking, whats in the cases?" Simon looked up at me surprised by my interest. "They're some of the videos I edited together." He looked off to side as if embarrassed or ashamed. "That's pretty cool Simon, you know I haven't seen you filming anything in a while." I moved my head trying and failing to get into his line of vision. He nodded his head solemnly in response and I accepted that was all I'd get out of him instead I popped up from the floor loudly announcing "I think it's time we got started on Battle-star Galactica yeah?"

We sat on opposite ends of the couch. At first it was incredibly awkward, we'd sneak glances at one another before our eyes fell to the floor. It was kind of hard to focus on the show so after a few episodes I finally spoke up, unable to look Simon in the eye I stared at the screen. "What's going on with you and Jessica?" After a moment's silence I looked over at Simon to see him fumbling over what to say, eventually he seemed to find the right words. "A-after what happened with her dad, she said she can't see me so..." He looked at me and although it might've been something he'd usually be embarrassed about he seemed more worried. "Seeing a girl whose dad tried to kill you, I guess that isn't ideal," I snorted lightly but quickly moved on, "You'll meet someone else. Trust me. I mean my dad never tried to kill you, it's not exactly common." I gave a light smile trying to lighten the mood. Simon smiled back releasing his breath as he relaxed. I felt my own body do the same and the rest of the night was quite enjoyable his family had all trickled in ass the show continued all quietly sneaking past not wanting to intrude or bother us though they seemed excited and intrigued by my presence in their house. Based on the hushed excited whispers I'd say they weren't exactly used to Simon bringing friends home.

After a couple hours it was getting late and me a Simon had been slowly moving closer. I felt my eyelids grow heavier and rested my head on Simon's shoulder. I felt him turn to me as if he was scared to move or disrupt me but eventually he relaxed leading to me falling asleep. I was suddenly woken up lying on a couch with a few blankets over top of me, as I looked around in confusion I saw a younger girl walking into the living room her eyes glued to me. Simon was gone and it was just me sleeping on their couch this wasn't exactly the perfect first impression for his sister. "Hi" I cringed as I tried to act nonchalant but she didn't react getting straight down to business "Who are you? Are you Simon's girlfriend?" flustered I looked around the room but I couldn't avoid answering "...I don't know exactly, maybe?" She gave me a confused look "How can you not know." How can I not know. It all seemed so simple and so complex "Well we haven't really talked about it but I like him and I think he likes me." I tried to explain myself but even that proved to be too complicated. She didn't even turn to look at me as she answered, "Oh he definitely does, you guys should date." I was surprised by her bluntness finding myself slowly nodding my head. Simon walked into the room holding two bowls, his face changing from happiness at seeing me awake and not running away to shock and embarrassment at his sister who was right in front of me. She ran off giggling as Simon stepped into the room. "I'm sorry if she was bothering you." I couldn't look hims directly in the eyes instead just thinking about what his sister had revealed to me as we settled down to watch more battle-star galactica with bowls of colorful sugary cereal.

We had started talking about small things music and other shows, it was surprisingly carefree. We got a lot closer as the hours ticked by, and I guess I got a lot braver. His sister's words fulled my head as I lent forward and kissed Simon begging and pleading beyond doubt that he wouldn't be disgusted and throw me away. To my surprise he didn't. In fact he kissed me again, that kiss was slow and hesitant, sweet and maybe slightly awkward just like him. Both our faces were flushed as we pulled apart. "Sorry," I whispered voice barely audible. "D-don't apologize" Simon muttered. Our faces were still close when we heard loud footsteps coming down the stairs. We pulled apart just as his mother walked into the room smiling brightly at the two of us. "All right you two," She started by addressing the two of us but then pointed her finger at Simon who appeared very embarrassed at her sudden appearance. "I'm going out with your sister we should be back in a few hours, your father in time for Dinner." This time she turned to me "If you don't mind sweetie we'd love to have you join us we can get to know you a bit more." She gave a cheeky little wink as I glanced to Simon, he didn't seem to love the idea but I sure did. "I'd be glad," I smiled at her and she seemed almost surprised. "Of course, oh and if you do plan on staying again don't be shy about heading to Simon's room, you're a guest you deserve better than that old couch." With that she called out for his sister and left promising to return in a few hours with enough food to make a glorious feast. It was strange to have people making a big deal about my presence but I couldn't back out now. We watched the next episode in comfortable silence, but as it came to an end I moved closer to Simon, certain we would have no more interruptions I started to kiss him. He was surprisingly sweet, and by the time the next episode started we were making out, eventually it lead to my hands drifting down to the end of his shirt. Although he wasn't necessarily experienced he seemed to understand what I wanted as he started to help me slowly pull it up without finally breaking the kiss. We paused for a moment practically breathless, forwards pushed together. Simon's eyes looked at mine hesitantly "Are you sure." I gave him a quick kiss before responding with a smile "Of course." I quickly pulled off my own shirt as a further confirmation before kissing him deeply.

It was soft, nice. Maybe not perfect but it was still pretty amazing. Afterwards we were lying there my head on his chest just listening to the sound of his heart beating. We didn't move for a few minutes. Until Simon spoke, "You know we should clean up." I nodded silently. I waited for him to shower wondering if I had gone about this wrong, but he came out with a smile on his face, "You can go in now." I felt calmer, he did this to me. After I showered I had changed into some of Simon's clothes leaving the bathroom I ran right into his mother. Fuck. I felt my face instantly flush. She however seemed pleased to see me. "Ah there you are." My gaze immediately dropped as if she could see what we'd done in my eyes. "Wh-what?" my voice wavering as I asked the statement so quietly, the woman laughed smiling wide "Come on darling I just got the groceries packed away and I'll start on dinner, my husband should be home soon I think he'll be glad to meet you, you're pretty famous around here." With a smile she lead me back to Simon and what I personally considered a delightful evening.

Things continued as normal despite the rapidly approaching date of our freedom from community service. We had watched some more of the show as the weekend reached it end, Simon and I were now actually trying a relationship though we hadn't told anyone. I struggled internally with whether the information future Simon had told me to keep secret especially when Simon wanted to be gentlemanly and pick me up from my actual house. It was something I'd have to explain eventually but I guess I kept pushing it off hoping to give myself more time. With two days left we had relaxed a bit and were just hanging out in the office/supply closet that the tv was in, we were all surprised to see a young man who seemed to have control over milk. While the others argued over how stupid it was I realized this was it, the video I'd seen on future Simon's computer. Someone would spill, we were going to become famous.

It happened not long after Simon had gone to open the door only to quickly pull it shut again. The loud murmuring that was audible moments ago stopped my eyes widened. It seemed stupid this was a good thing probably but it was scary that it was real. Simon seemed to take my fear as surprise stepping closer interrupted or perhaps saved considering we were still secret, by Curtis. "What was that?" Simon shook his head before answering, "They know what about us." Everyone took turn asking questions to a freaked out Simon. "Who?"

"Everyone."

"What are you talking about?"

"There are reporters and TV cameras outside, lots of them."

"Bullshit."

"No way."

"Are you serious?"

"Right. I think I might take a little peek." I had yet to say a word though no one seemed to notice as Nathan made his way towards the door. I was reminded of the time on our first day when our original probation worker almost killed us. Simon's voice brought me back to reality, "Don't open the door." Of course it didn't stop him and he was immediately lit up with camera flashes, doing ridiculous poses before stepping back into the community center. "That was really quite a lot of reporters." He seemed proud of the attention he'd somehow gotten.

"How did they find out about us?" Kelly stared Nathan down accusingly. He acted surprised himself, "What? No, I didn't do anything. I don't think I did. I'm almost certain I didn't." We all gave Nathan looks screaming are you being serious right now when he suddenly raised his hand and shouted "You!" We all turned around curious as to what Nathan could be looking out not even considering it could have been a simple distraction. Surprisingly it wasn't Shaun had just exited his office holding a box and had been walking away from us. His back was still turned when Nathan and therefore the rest of us approached. "You told them about us." Shaun turned around he seemed clueless until he let out a puff of air humor flooding his face "Yeah." Curtis stepped forward, his intimidation skills were surprisingly useful, "You sit on your arse doing nothing for six weeks and then you sell us out." Still he didn't care about what he'd just done to us at all. "Looks like that, doesn't it? Is that ironic? Never too sure." I felt annoyed and stepped forward "You're our probation worker. You're supposed to sort us out." My anger did nothing but seemingly amuse him, "I'm sure you'll be fine." I rolled my eyes of course he didn't care. "Like you give a shit." Alisha sassed Shaun as he started to turn away. "That's a good point. See you, so long, and fuck off." Kelly shouted after him but he didn't seem to hear "Wanker!" Stress was immediately present in all our bodies, we really were stuck. I stepped closer to Simon trying to comfort him. He seemed to be the most worried of all of us though my own fear both seemed to relax him and scare him more. I couldn't help but wonder why. Nathan turned to rest of us shrugging "I'm actually very surprised that it hasn't happened sooner. We haven't really been that careful."

"What are they going to do to us?" Alisha looked to Simon frightened although it was stupid I felt jealously creeping into my mind. Although she feared for our safety I knew, this was the start of some kind of fame. Alisha was even the one I'd seen in the video. Maybe this was meant to happen, but if it was why was it so freaky? "They'll treat us like freaks. They'll lock us up in a secret military facility and conduct experiments on us." What should have shocked us into silence did nothing to Nathan, "Hey, no-one's experimenting on me. I'm not a monkey." Kelly turned to Simon our personal assigned expert. "What are we going to do?" Simon nodded sagely, "We have to go into hiding. We assume new identities. We break off all connection with our family and friends. We wear disguises and only go out after dark." I smiled at house seriously he was taking this though everyone else had grave expressions. "I'm not loving the sound of that." Curtis said honestly. "Do you expect me never to see my mum again? Who's going to do my washing? Huh? You have not thought this through." Nathan complained as usual stopping only when a woman snuck into the building and loudly announced herself, "There is an alternative." Simon's head whipped around at the sound of her voice demanding explanation. "Who are you?" The woman stepped forward appearing rather proud to have our attention "I'm the person who can make it so you don't need to go into hiding. If this is handled right, you're all making some serious money." This seemed to get the others attention.

"What are you thinking? This isn't why we got our powers." Simon stood up his intense gaze fixated on Nathan. "No. There is no why, there's only what. What are we going to spend all our money on?" Curtis was the only one who bothered whispering in the group discussion "None of us even know what we're doing after. It's better than signing on." He looked around the group and we had to agree we really weren't prepared for life after community service. "What about the people we killed?" Kelly moved on, "I guess we should ask her about that." I responded my gaze never meeting Simon's for I was scared of what his reaction would be. We slowly disbanded our group huddle turning to look at the Woman, Nathan spoke up for the group, "Yeah. I'm not saying we have, but what would happen, hypothetically speaking, if it came to light that we may have killed one or two people? Probation workers and such. No-one important." The woman didn't seem fazed at all slowly walking towards us as she carefully responded each word seemingly hand picked to manipulate perceptions. "I would say that these people you may or may not have killed were evil. You were protecting society. You're not murderers. You're heroes. Superheroes. Rich, famous superheroes." After a moments silence she continued, "And if that doesn't work, we vanish the bodies and pay off the relatives." At least she was good at her job "Good answer." Nathan announced. Curtis didn't hesitate after her little performance "Sign us up." She triumphantly smiled but Simon's face fell as he turned to look at the rest of us me in particular and I felt pain at what I was doing. "We're making a mistake." Alisha tried to convince him but to no avail, "We should all stick together." Kelly turned towards him as well "Just do it with us." He stepped away from the group staring straight at me and I felt I was near moments away from crying. "This will change everything." He walked right up to the woman abut before he could pass she held out a card. "Call me when you change your mind."

Laura, the woman who had claimed us as her ASBO five superheroes had us all moved to a hotel with a few of the others who had come out with powers. It was rather lonely so I was glad the others were there with me. My silence didn't exactly make me an interesting superhero and with my refusal to really transform I was often left behind the group. We were supposed to be having a meeting though to no one's surprise Nathan came in late. "Sorry I'm late. I was just enjoying the fruits of our new-found fame and celebrity. You know I'm not actually talking about fruit. Although you should see the size of my fruit bowl Massive!" I rolled my eyes as Kelly questioned him disgust in her voice, "Did you shag those skanky girls?" Nathan took a canape off the tray shoving in his mouth proudly pronouncing, "I most certainly did. Loving the canapes." Laura settled back down in her seat, before picking up where she left off. "I was just saying, if there's anything you don't want to see in the papers, tell me now and then I can deal with it." Curtis leaned forward to pick up some food as well telling her in an annoyed tone, "Everything about me has already been in the papers." She promptly turned to Alisha "Do any of your ex-boyfriends have any intimate photographs or videos of you?" Curtis looked up surprised and managed to let out an "I'll delete them." through his mouthful of food. Laura gave an unimpressed look but nodded "Make sure you do. Right. Is there anything else I need to know? Yes?" I turned to see Nathan with his hand up, of course Nathan was involved in some controversy. "Just before I started my Community Service, - there was an incident with this girl" I closed my eyes cringing at the thought of what Nathan could be actually embarrassed by. "What kind of incident?" Nathan cringed remembering what he was talking about. "Really? I picked her up in this dentist's waiting room. She was having some kind of oral surgery. So we go out - a few drinks, a couple of kebabs, then it's straight back to her place and start with the shagging. I've built up a nice rhythm I'm getting really close to blowing my load, just hovering in the pleasure zone. And then BAM! All hell breaks lose. I tripled myself." I closed my eyes disgusted with Nathan was a human being, Laura seemed very confused about what was going on "I'm not familiar with that term." Nathan seemed more confused about her not knowing then anything else. "You know Tripling. It's when you cum, puke and shit yourself all at the same time." `We were on the topic for another few painstaking minutes before Nathan finished up and she looked around fear showing on her face at what else we could have possibly done. "Anyone else?" Kelly looked off to the side of the room exasperated "I shagged a monkey." Laura and Curtis let out sighs almost of disappointment though Nathan simply laughed, "Technically, it was a gorilla."

After our little meeting Laura lead us down to a hall filled with people, though we weren't exactly shy we were off in a corner not really straying from our small group with the except of Nathan who was walking around checking out food and ladies. I had moved slightly to Laura who was nearby questioning her. "What are we doing here?" She surveyed the room refusing to even look at me, "I wanted you to meet my other clients and also some potential sponsors. Just relax and enjoy yourself." I snorted lightly at her and walked back to the group, Nathan had also returned to the group his mouth fulled with food that he seemed to have just finished choking. "Down the wrong way." He said voice muffled by the food still inside. None of us were paying attention when someone approached. "Hi. Good to see you." We turned around surprised to find the kid who started this all. Curtis didn't seem as phased as the rest of us "Oh, you're that milk guy, innit." He seemed shocked and a little offended, god you better get used to this if you hang around us. "It's not just milk. It's all dairy products." Nathan's eyebrows shot up in mocking question, "So you're here to make the coffees then?" Of course that's the angle we're going with I swear it's like hanging out with a bunch of children. "I'm done making other people coffee. People make my coffee now." The kid said I still had absolutely no idea what his name was, he honestly was kind of annoying and Alisha seemed to agree. "So what's the point in having your power?" Nathan stepped forward basically bullying him. "Were you one of those fat kids who had milk seeping out of his man boobs during puberty?" He seemed to choke on his drink at Nathan's accusation, "We had a kid like him at our school. We used to milk him every lunchtime." Kelly stifled a laugh as he tried to defend himself. "I wasn't one of those kids." It was too late Nathan had already gone around and started massaging his chest. "Get off me - what are you doing?" I rolled my eyes and started to walk away, and back to my room to sulk in my melancholy as the other's laughed at Nathan's display. I had walked out of the room only to find a young woman being snuck into the hotel. Curious I stepped forward. "Hey, um excuse me but what are you doing?" Immediately big men in suits stepped in front of the girl as if I posed a threat to her. She didn't seem to mind though waving them away. "Oh no it's alright. Hello I'm Daisy." I lifted my eyebrows in acknowledgement nodding my head. "Are you a uh Superhero or a sponsor?" She seemed young but with the protection maybe she was rich. She laughed at the idea, "I'm just here to help I can heal people." I was kind of shocked, that was- well it was actually helpful. "I'm a shape shifter, not exactly a lifesaver." I smirked at the idea but she seemed saddened at my lack of faith. Before she could comment I shook my head, "No need, I know 'there's a reason we got these powers' I guess I just haven't really found mine." I thought back to when I tried to save Simon, he survived. Maybe it was usefully just... less obvious. "It was lovely to meet you but I have to go now" She gave a soft smile and I decided to return in. Literally. I quickly pushed through the pain shifting into the young woman in front of me. "It was nice to meet you to Daisy." I walked off still in her form, she got a surprising amount of attention and it was hard to actually get to my room without causing a scene. I closed the door behind me quickly locking it and sinking down on the spot exhausted. Simon was right. Being famous sucked.

I had nearly fallen asleep against the door when there was a frantic knocking. I got up and opened the door to find Kelly. "Come on, Nathan was involved in killing some girl." I let out a dramatic sigh but started walking with her towards Laura's meeting room. "We sure get involved with a lot of murders." It was mostly Laura telling Nathan off as he tried to explain himself. "The police are going to want to interview you again, but they seem to be satisfied that Daisy's death was an accident." She said unimpressed her golden goose had been stabbed through the chest. Nathan however was positively gleeful "Oh! Thank you! I just want to say it's a tragedy. And no-one is more upset about this than me. But what's done, is done. I think we should all move on, huh? Stronger, fitter, wiser." I rolled my eyes before raining on his parade "This could only happen to you." Curtis agreed in a disappointed tone "She was going to cure the world." Nathan threw his arms up in defeat. "There's only so many times I can say I'm sorry! And if you're so cut up about it, why don't you" Nathan made a gesture suggesting Curtis turn back time, "And fix this entire situation?" Curtis whined at the suggestion like he'd just been told his dick was too small and was coming up with an excuse. "You know it doesn't work like that!" Nathan rolled his eyes "I'm getting pretty sick of hearing that!" Laura leaned down close to Nathan's face threateningly "You fuck up like this again, and I will finish you." He actually seemed a little scared. "I'll try not to."

It was getting late and although Nathan had a show to perform I decided he'd be best to talk to about my doubts. So I found myself pacing in front of his room anxiety keeping me from knocking. After a few minutes someone walked by looking at me confused. Well the embarrassment was enough to get me to knock. After a few moments the door opened to reveal Nathan who looked kind of bored at the sight of me. "Oh, hey!" He gestured for me to enter the room with a flourish and I looked around nervously worried about if he had... company over. "You're alone?" I walked into the middle of the room words filling up my head at an alarming rate it was hard to focus on which I needed. "Uh-huh. So are you all right then?" Nathan asked walking towards me seeming very confused. "Look I-uh know we aren't really lose but just." I sighed no words of explanation coming to me. "I thought it was supposed to be like this, you know? But it's not it sucks, all this fame stuff. It just feels a bit pointless." I looked around the room unable to really look at Nathan worried about how much of an idiot he thought I was. "Of course it's pointless. That's why famous people pretend to care about the Africans." I turned around surprised to see a look of genuine concern on his face. He seemed almost innocent I couldn't help but think of Simon. It was strange. I felt sad but he was gone. Obviously hiding. Without thinking I blurted out what was on my mind, this -version- of Nathan he made it so easy. "He knew it would be like this." This visibly confused him, "Who?" I rolled my eyes even though he had no idea what I could've been on about. "Simon. We should've listened to him. Do you know where he is?" It seemed like a long shot but; if he did know something and I didn't ask I'd kick myself. "No. No, I haven't seen him." Nathan was obviously very believable in attempt to distract me he picked up a bowl from all his mess. "Nuts?" I shook my head "He said picking up litter was the best time of his life." I said with urgency though Nathan didn't seem to care, maybe I was wrong to think he was the right person to talk to. "I think that demonstrates his rather low expectations." I shook my head at the notion though I believed him on that. "If you see him, tell him he was right." I said rather softly walking towards his door. "Cheerio." Nathan called out after me as I shut the door feeling rather tired.

I missed my boyfriend so I did the only thing I could to feel close. I snuck back to what I still considered my home now, despite the fancy hotel I was supposed to be staying in. Only me and Alisha knew about it and she was usually out trying to find herself a new boyfriend, not to mention she didn't really have the attachment to Simon I did. I laid down on the bed and started to look at the photo that future Simon had left me before he died. It felt almost tainted. This wasn't my Simon. He wasn't awkward yet sweet and he seemed to have known everything about me without me ever telling him. Still after what happened it was nice to imagine a way we'd actually get to there. I got lost in my thoughts when the real Simon appeared in front of me horrified. My heart broke. This was the one thing I was supposed to stop, supposed to save him from. "When was that taken? Where did you get that?" The look on his face said it all and suddenly I stressed out. "Someone gave it to me." I whispered I couldn't lie to him but I couldn't tell him the truth. "Who? What is this place?" Simon started to shout, angry and confused. "The guy in the mask. He lived here." I felt my chest heaving. Simon practically was begging. "Who is he?" I felt tears streaming down my face, my chest constricting. "Simon... please. I can't tell you that." He turned away from me disgusted. "Then I'll find someone who can."

The tears really started to fall then though I didn't exactly have time to wallow in self pity. Nathan was going to be live soon and I needed to head back to the hotel. I immediately went to knock on Kelly's door and upon seeing me she gasped. I guess I looked bad. "What happened to you?" I let out a shaky breath barely getting out the one word. "Simon." She nodded as if it explained everything. "Come on, let's get ready you can tell me all about it later when Alisha arrives." I started to calm down looking at her confused, "Isn't she here already?" My voice was quiet like a child who'd just been growled. "She was supposed to be but who knows where she ran off to." With that there was a knock at the door. Alisha had arrived though she seemed quiet. Strange as if she was guilty about something. Kelly had called an emergency girls night, even messaging Nikki to join though she said she'd be a little late and we had gone to the bathroom to prepare before heading out. I was still in the cubicle when Kelly called out disgusted. "Oh, gross!" Confused Alisha and I both questioned "What's that?" I stood up flushing the toilet as she replied "There's something dripping from the ceiling. I dunno what-" Suddenly she stopped replying. "Kelly? Kelly?" Alisha called out concerned. "Quit dicking around." Suddenly there was a thud. Fear flooded my system as I tried desperately to lock the door I had been opening but it didn't work. Whoever was on the other side was stronger than me. I stepped back my scream cut short as the guy who controlled milk appeared ready to attack.

I'd woken up in a hotel room with the guy wrapping Alisha in glad wrap. Kelly wasn't though. I looked around stressed and worried about where my friend could be. He seemed to notice I was awake he finished wrapping Alisha and came towards me leaping back in surprise as Nikki teleported and landed on the bed. He shouted out in frustration and glared at her. Suddenly milk spurted out her mouth she appeared to be in pain then her body went limp. I attempted to cry out but the glad wrap stopped any noise from escaping. He did the same to Alisha leaving her dead body just lying on the ground. Tears fell down my face at an increasing rate for the second time today as he stepped closer to me finally speaking. "It's a shame having to kill all you beautiful woman. But you'd never respect me," I felt something moving around in my stomach. It was most definitely wrong. "No, you're all just trying to take my place. I'm the number one." I could no longer breathe. The last thing I felt was my eyes closing as my head fell back. This was it the end.

We were preparing for our final day of community service when Shaun walked in questioning Curtis who was staring at him. "What are you looking at?" Curtis tried to sound aloof but really it just sounded strange. "Nothing." Shaun left quickly leaving Curtis looking around the room at all of scared and confused. "What?" I questioned stepping closer slowly worried about how Curtis would react given his terrified nature. "There's something we need to do." He then explained the future he'd just traveled back from. Describing how we had to go kill yet another person.

At the end of the day we'd finished getting changed and packing up putting our jumpsuits back in the lockers. "That's it, then. It's over. No more community service." Nathan said happily. "I thought we'd be, like, all celebrating and shit." Kelly said confused maybe a little disappointed, but no more so then Alisha "It doesn't really feel like there's much to celebrate." Simon suddenly stepped forward in front of all of us. "I just want you to know being here with all of you, it's been the best time of my life." I smiled thinking about how future Simon had said almost the exact same thing. It was very touching though of course Nathan had to put his own spin on it. "I had a week in Spain last year. That was way better." I looked off to the side smiling as Curtis laughed. "What is up with all of you? All the shit we've been through. We're all here. We're all alive. We made it." Nathan sarcastically started to remark. "Great! And I have no job, no money, no girlfriend, nowhere to live, no useful skills or qualifications. OK, so I'm immortal. But other than that, I've basically got fuck all going for me. What are we going to do tomorrow? Or the day after that? Huh? We have just been shat out onto a huge pool of piss with all the other long-term unemployable." It was quite the contrast from his speech weeks ago before he died for the first time. However it went ignored as Kelly rolled her eyes. "Does anyone fancy a drink?" Nathan's mood changed immediately to one of joy. "Yeah, sure, man. Y'know, apart from all the killing and the dying and stuff, this community service really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be." And with that he left the rest of us followed me sticking close to Simon, nothing had really changed but it felt nice to be close and imagine a whole new future for the two of us.
