Community Service was done, it was nice to have some freedom and we all started working and doing things, Simon and I told the others about our relationship. Alisha who was the only one beside me who knew about future Simon, at least that's how it started out well she told him. Apparently she was friends with future Simon and missed having someone to talk to. I had come home one day to see her sitting with Simon. I wasn't even sure how she got inside. Simon looked terrified. No horrified. Something was wrong. "You knew?" I felt ready to faint. I was supposed to stop this. She said she'd keep it secret. My eyes flew around the room stress excelling my heart rate how the hell could I respond to him. My eyes fixated on the photo in his hand. It was the Vegas one future Simon had left me. My eyes slowly traveled up. "I-I couldn't tell you. He-you, I was told not to. He said it would ruin everything." There was panic in my voice as the words fell out. I couldn't deal with this. My vision blurred as I shook my head there was no use how could I possibly expect him to forgive me. He softened and walked towards me "You live here? Is that why you never showed your home?" I nodded hesitantly. I looked off to the side it was hard to reach his gaze and instead my eyes fell on the bedside table. The photo was in there, I moved towards it slowly. Opening the drawer I struggled to hand it over as if it would be destroyed. Simon studied the photo confused. "When did you get this?" I bit my lip thinking of a response. "That day that dude showed up Ollie. While you were all stuck hanging from the ceiling. He jumped in front of me, took the bullet. H-he died. I came back here and the photo was on the wall. A last present I guess." Simon seemed to be confused soaking all the information in. "That was just before you came over." My breath hitched I had no idea how to really respond. "I couldn't handle being here when he'd just died. I felt... safest with you." I had honestly forgotten Alisha was there when she stepped forward "You saved us all, you're like a real life superhero." He sunk down on the bed staring at the picture, "When do I become this... superhero?" I didn't have an answer I really didn't know much about what had happened shrugging my shoulders I turned to Alisha who just shook her head, "I have no fucking idea."

Three months passed, it was almost Christmas and Simon was dead set on training to become this superhoodie. We were hanging out in the bar where Curtis and Alisha were working, she had gone to get us some ice for Simon's cheek which had been cut when he fell. "You're going to break your neck." I turned his head a little to get a better look. "I'm not pushing you around in a wheelchair." Simon gave a small smile, "I have to learn sometime." Alisha had returned with some ice in a cloth. Simon had just lifted it to his cheek when the doors slammed open and in walked Nathan in a santa suit. "So being Santa sucks a big fat cock." He took a seat next to Simon as Kelly walked in after him, "Two pints of lager please, barmaid." Alisha turned to glare at him "Are you going to pay for them?" Yeah right like Nathan would pay. They stared at each other a moment when Kelly spoke up "Oh, come on! I've been working for the council scraping up dog shit." Nathan pointed over at her as if he had been doing the same thing instead of just handing out fliers. "That's thirsty work." Alisha turned around reluctantly getting the drinks. Nathan then turned to Simon, "So how did it all go so right for you? You end up with a cool flat, and a beautiful girlfriend?" I rolled my eyes as Kelly smiled at me. "I think it's dead romantic, I do." Before I could thank her Nathan started talking again. "I think I liked it better when you suffered from a crippling shyness." Alisha turned around and placed two drinks on the table just as Curtis walked out of the bathroom. "No way! No more free drink!" He shouted lunging forward to no avail as Nathan and Kelly had already snatched the cups of the table and were drinking. Nathan chugged the entire glass slamming down on the table before Curtis turned to Alisha annoyed, "You're going to get us both sacked." Nathan spoke quickly "Do you really want to spend your life working in some shitty bar?" Curtis shook his head and Nathan continued, "Then I'm doing you a favor. Refill!" He lifted up his cup and Curtis sighed but grabbed the cup anyway. Nikki came rushing into the bar annoyed walking right up to Curtis complaining "This is fucking ridiculous! I had to walk back from the other side of the estate."

Simon and I were in bed, it was quiet, which would have seemed normal enough if this were the Simon I met when community service had started but it wasn't. Now he was more comfortable and he enjoyed educating others and I really enjoyed learning from him. Eventually it was too much I turned over to him. "Simon . . look at me. What's wrong?" Simon turned over to me and finally said what was on his mind. "He was much better than me, wasn't he?" Confusion clouded my mind, what was he on. "I just hate thinking about you being with him." I finally found my voice again. "Are you talking about the future Simon? You're the same person." My head tilted to the side question obvious. "Except he's much better than me, isn't he?" I never realized how this must have seemed to Simon, what he must have been thinking. "...Simon. I never had sex with him." It was his turn to be surprised. "What?" I immediately started to explain, voice tumbling out quickly. "I don't think we even kissed. We hung out, I mean I did kind of move into his flat but we never slept in the same bed or anything." I looked down at my hands as I continued to speak trying to relax Simon's anxiety "I was thinking about you. In fact he often had to try and convince me we were fine." I looked up to see him turned to me confused and I realized he had no idea what had been going on in my head. "I was worried you liked Alisha." It was actually kind of embarrassing the heat rising in my checks. Simon seemed to be relaxed by the news, he smirked and it was my turn to be confused. "I guess we both thought wrong." I sighed, relieved at what his response. I gripped on his hand smiling placing my head on his shoulder. Things would be alright.

"It's so weird that I can do this." Curtis had been touching Alisha's arm, it really was crazy. "How does it feel?" He questioned her amazement filling his voice. "It's so nice not to have to think about it anymore." She had traded in her powers with a dealer I could see why never being able to touch another human could drive you crazy, while the rest of us watched Alisha was amazement Nikki just let out an annoyed sigh, "Maybe we'd all be better off without them." Curtis' eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "What're you saying?" I leaned forward curious, it made sense for Alisha to get rid of hers but what was wrong with Nikki's. "I'm saying this random teleporting all over the place, it's a pain in the arse. What has any of us actually achieved with our powers?" She started getting annoyed gesturing to Kelly, Alisha and I though Curtis was the first to argue back ,"Apart from saving all our lives?" Alisha seemed to agree with Nikki though and I felt my own annoyance building up. "We wouldn't need saving if it wasn't for the powers. We don't need to be caught up in this bullshit." Kelly took a swig from her drink before stating her opinion, "D'you think it's all right to just flog our powers like that?" I finally spoke up, "It just seems wrong to get rid of them. Even if we give ours up others won't we could still end up in shit like this and I don't want to live in the futures Curtis has stopped." Nikki turned to be frustrated, "Fine so what Curtis has a helpful power what about yours? You can change what you look like whoop-de-doo. It's practically useless." I stepped back, shocked at her words, I knew she was annoyed I just wasn't exactly prepared for it to be directed at me. She softened, sighing "I don't know if you've noticed, but we're not exactly living the dream. It's worth having a conversation" She looked around at the others who seemed to agree but I shook my head, "Sorry but no, I'm not messing with this." I left the others as they prepared to go see the man who could take powers, head low as I went home calling Simon on the way.

"They shouldn't be doing this. We were given them for a reason." Simon was actually very annoyed at what our friends were doing but I just felt defeated. "I don't know maybe they're right. How am I helping anyone when all I can do is change what I fucking look like." I flopped down on the bed as Simon stopped his pacing to look at me. "No. It's a part of who you are." He sat down beside me his eyes staring into my soul. I thought back to all the things we've done. Yeah it wasn't always helping the world, sometimes it was simply messing around, having jokes and creating havoc. It mightn't have been important but it was good. Finally I moved choosing to rest my head on his shoulder. "Yeah, you're right. Sorry, I just- I guess that what they said was getting to me." Simon smiled kindly, "Hey it's not your fault, I've got to try and stop the other's though. This is just like in Superman II, when Superman gives up his powers so he could be with Lois Lane." My head fell down as he stood up preparing to go find our friends and maybe stop them. "What happened to him?" Simon looked over he always seemed surprised when I asked him to explain his interest and it tugged at my heart with what it implied and how sad it was. He never seemed notice instead his smile grew a little yet another thing he didn't seem aware of as he spoke grimly, "General Zod took over the world." He came back over placing a kiss on my head before going to try and stop them I wrapped myself in blankets worry clouding my head as I lay there watching the door silently waiting for his return.

"This is how it's supposed to be, apparently I told Alisha we had to get rid of them. Future me." I shook my head slightly as it hung. My eyes stuck on my hands. Why would he trust her more than me, and how did the fit with him showing me he could turn invisible?

Over the next couple of days everyone got to spending some of their money making themselves happy. I was the only one not to sell my power and I still hadn't told Simon that I had seen him turn invisible when he came back. Everyone was happy without them, maybe I was wrong. We were currently hanging out at the bar and Curtis had handed us all drinks. Nathan excitedly toasted. "Here's to life." He did a shot and then turned to Curtis, "So now you're going travelling, suddenly you're all cool about giving out free drinks?" Curtis rolled his eyes with a smile an appropriate reactions to Nathan. "I am so looking forward to not having to listen to your shit." Nathan smiled back happily "I'll miss you, too." Suddenly the door opened and in walked Kelly, she looked hot. We were all staring at her and her new clothes when she huffed out an annoyed "What?" Alisha let out an exasperated "You look amazing." She cocked her head to the side wondering if we were sincere. "Do you think so?" We all voiced our agreements and Nathan let out a, "Well classy" as Kelly walked closer to us finally taking her seat as she started telling us about her experience. "The woman in the shop thought I was shoplifting. Got my wad of cash out. She looked proper sick. Should've seen her." Nikki walked off to the bathroom after telling Curtis to get her another drink, as he poured Nathan started to talk again. "So where are you going first?" Curtis smiled obviously very happy to think about his vacation. "Thailand. We fly to Bangkok, then we hit the beaches." Nathan started to joke, "D'you think you might have a go on one of those Thai lady boys?" We all rolled our eyes, "Yeah. I see that happening." Curtis huffed. "You may not know until it's too late. I didn't have a clue, man." Nathan said trying to sound concerned. Confused Simon lent forward, closer to Nathan questioning him. "Have you been to Thailand?" Nathan made a face and shook his head. "No. I met this little fella at a party on the estate." It was my turned to question Nathan and his crazy stories, "What, and you went with him?" Nathan leaned back sighing. "Let's just say, I didn't not go with him. I was very drunk, and he had his cock and balls taped into his arse crack. From where I was kneeling, it looked like a bald little pussy." Before anyone could make any comments or even show the extent of our disgust a man burst in. Curtis turned to the man confused. "Can I get you something?"

The man pulled out a gun aiming it right at Curtis. We all let out gasps of surprise and fright as he made his demands. "Empty the till and the safe!" Nathan managed to make a snarky comment, "Yeah, good one, mate." And then the man shot, we all jumped bending down and aware from the mad man who had shot one of the bottles on the shelf behind the bar, making glass and liquor rained around Curtis while the rest of us had ducked behind the bar safely. There was a lot of screaming and shouting but the man was louder than the rest of us. "Just give us the money. Do it!" Curtis hurried to the register grabbing all the money and gesturing for the man to take it but instead the man gestured back with the gun. "And the safe." Curtis put up in hands showing them empty, "They don't trust me with the keys to the safe." We were constantly moving little steps away from the man. "That's because you're always giving people free drinks." Nathan spat out at Curtis. While we were distracted watching Nathan and Curtis Simon stepped forward towards the man. "Back off! Move!" He shoved Simon back into me. I managed to stay upright and latched onto Simon clutching his arm, glad he wasn't shot but worried about what was gonna happen to us. "Give us your money! Give us your cash!" Quickly we handed over whatever cash we had been carrying but Nathan of course had nothing. The man gestured his gun at him "Where's yours?" Nathan pulled at his santa coat. "I haven't got any. I never have any. Ask anyone." Alisha and Kelly started pleading with Nathan "Hand it over. Just give him the money!" But Nathan stood defiantly "No. That's for Marnie and the baby!" It was brave sure but also incredibly stupid. "Do you think I'm joking?" The man stepped past the rest of us holding the gun in Nathan's face. "Actually, I really couldn't give a fuck." Nathan shrugged his shoulders non-nonchalantly. "Go ahead. Shoot me! I'm immortal!" Nathan was now standing with the gun on his chest when he said it, what an idiot. "No, you're not." Simon shouted at Nathan who immediately realized we were right and ducked exclaiming as he did so. It didn't stop the gun though. He fired. There was a surprised squeak and we turned around. Nikki had just came back from the bathroom and now there was blood on her light blue shirt. "Nikki!" Curtis screaming rushing towards her, he grabbed her body as she fell to the ground. We all surrounded her, the shock of losing her overpowering our fear of the man. "Someone call an ambulance!" Nathan said, as Simon and I watched the man run away. Curtis frantically moved her body as we all continued shouting in commotion. She was really dead. I let out a soft sob, turning away into Simon's arms. He seemed almost frozen watching the tragedy in front of him.

We had all started cleaning up while Curtis sat at a table in shock and mourning. Suddenly he let a despite cry "I'm going to get my power back. I'm going to turn back time. I'm going to save her." He grabbed his jacket and walked out leaving the rest of us in mull things over. "I knew there was something up with that lad. If I'd had my power, I could've stopped it." She left as well guilt in her voice. Nathan came to a realization as well. "If I die, I won't be there for Marnie and the baby." Alisha looked at me and Simon. Standing there solemnly. "I can't go back to being like that. I'm sorry." I nodded in understanding turning to Simon and quietly admitting what I knew. "When I met you, future you. He-" Simon cut me off with a nod, "It's alright, we're gonna sort this out." And then we walked out together, with one last look at Alisha sitting at the bar alone. Just like she was with her powers. It hurt but there was nothing more we could do.

Everyone was standing on the doorstep of a building I'd never seen before apparently this was where they sold their powers. Curtis knocked frantically and then let himself in, the rest of us followed in suit. "I need my power back." He demanded, I looked around curiously. There was a man standing at a desk in the middle of the room, a single chair in front of him. It was definitely something, as was the wall of cabinets behind him. I continued looking around slowly walking forward with the others when the man spoke. "That's not going to be possible." Curtis spoke hurried speeding up with his panic. "What're you talking about?" The shrugged his shoulder not caring. "I don't have it." Curtis didn't like that answer, "What d'you mean, you don't have it?" he shouted with anger. "I sold it to an old Jewish guy. He said he wanted to rewind time and kill Hitler. You've got to admire his ambition." The man sat down looking at us all slowly. His gaze stopped on me as confusion filled his face. Since I never gave him my power he'd never seen me before. He immediately hid his shock instead focusing on Curtis who was shouting desperately. "My girlfriend's dead. I need my power. C'mon, man!" He dropped his head upon hearing Curtis and I wondered if he had been through something similar. "I'm sorry about your girlfriend, but I can't help you." Simon stepped forward to question him. "What about the rest of our powers?" Simon's gaze was serious and surprisingly so was Nathan's "We're gonna need those back, too." He turned to face us curiosity in his gaze. "They're still available, at a price." Kelly immediately questioned him, "How much?" After a short pause we got our answer "Shall we say 40,000, each." I turned to Simon my eyes wide he closed his eyes exhausted. "You only paid us 20 grand!" Kelly shouted at him distraught. "What, you got 20,000 for your power?" Nathan turned to Kelly confused, I knew Simon had the same amount and as much as I wanted to question him I didn't feel comfortable with this man, thankfully Kelly did. "Yeah. How much did you get?" Nathan suddenly seemed a little embarrassed. "We don't need to get into that now." He then turned to the guy pointing at him annoyed, "You robbed me, you bastard!" The guy barely lifted his gaze obviously sick of dealing with us. "You all agreed a price you were happy to sell at." Nathan tried desperately to argue. "I didn't think it through, so legally, it's still mine." Curtis was done with our petty little argument and slammed his hands on the desk leaning down to be face to face with the power dealer. "You get me my power." In response he leaned forward a sarcastic smile. "It's not going to happen." Kelly stepped forward pissed off. "You either get him his power back, or I start kicking you in the balls." Nathan nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah, I've seen her do it. You won't enjoy it one little bit." I had a feeling Nathan had once been on the receiving end as well but said nothing as he gestured for security to come in. "I really wouldn't do that if I were you." We turned around shocked to find a small man behind us. "Him? Are you for real?" Curtis questioned. "He couldn't fuck his way out of a paper bag, mate." Kelly sassed. "Look at him. He's got the body of a small, malnourished, prepubescent child." Nathan finished as the guy got closer. "Oh? Hey there, little fella-" He picked Nathan up and threw him into the wall spurring all of us into action. We were all thrown out but Curtis immediately ran at it slamming his body then his fists into the door. "Open the fucking door! Open the fuck Open it!" His attempts proved fruitless and Kelly shouted out in frustration. "What're you gonna do?" With a scream Curtis walked off, leaving the rest of us. Nathan who had just been lying on the ground "I think he broke a rib." he huffed out, breathless. I looked at Simon seeing the worry in his eyes. What were we going to do.

Simon and I were out on a little date. Walking around the park talking to each other, we had just settled down by a lake for a picnic when Simon got a call. He looked down at his phone confused. He looked up at me eyebrows furrowed together. "It's Alisha." Curiosity grabbed at my heart what was going on for her to call Simon. I nodded for hims to accept the call. "Alisha? What is it?" After a moment he questioned again. "What happened?" After a few moments his face fell. "You shouldn't have done that." Alisha seemed frantic, but Simon just kept trying to calm her down. While he did that I started packing up, figuring that this date had been cut short. When I had finished I looked up to see him still on the phone it was stupid but still my insecurities played up. "What is it?" Simon's face slowly changed to anger despite this his voice came out soft and concerned. "Did you?" Their conversation then came to an abrupt end with Simon stating, "I'm going to kill Jesus." and hanging up. I lifted an eyebrow in question. He nodded his head as he stood up preparing to walk away. "I'll explain on the way."

We all rushed to the community center. Nathan was already inside considering he still lived there. We burst in through the doors and he turned around with his arms around a very pregnant girl. "Everybody, this is Marnie." She smiled brightly and did a little wave. "Hi." I smiled in response she seemed so nice it was hard to dislike her. "Hi." Nathan gestured to all of us, "These are my friends." Alisha shook her head, "I'm not your friend." Nathan chuckled awkwardly as he spoke, "She's lying." Simon ignored us and looked through the glass doors at group singing on the other side. "The guy who killed Nikki. He was doing it for Jesus." He spoke it so seriously it really sounded a little crazy. Through the silence we heard a some sounds, confused we stepped walked into the locker room and found a guy getting a blow job. He looked up at us disinterested "Oh, what?" Curtis looked back at Alisha in question, "Is that the guy?" He rolled his eyes. "Can I help you?" Kelly angrily stepped forward, "You can't go around pretending to be Jesus. What's God gonna say?" Marnie pitched in sounding disgusted "You haven't even got a beard!" Jesus looked annoyed, "Hey! I gave my life to him. I went without money and sex. What a joke! I preached and prayed, and no-one gave a shit. You do a few miracles, everyone thinks you're the messiah. Have you seen that lot out there? I've given their lives... meaning." After his little rant Nathan gestured to the girl who was still sucking Jesus' dick. "I'm sorry. Would you mind getting her to stop? That's very distracting." Marnie quickly nodded her head but he did nothing as the group decided they would take turns to shout at him, "One of your followers killed my girlfriend."

"You're exploiting the vulnerable."

"You're taking money off pupils."

"You're sexually assaulting girls."

"Hey. That's the Catholic Church for you." Nathan looked back at us nodding his head, "He's got a point. When I was growing up in Ireland, if the priests weren't fiddling with you, you were one of the ugly kids." No one seemed to pay attention to Nathan as Curtis stepped forward. "I'm going to finish you." Suddenly Jesus teleported away. We could hear the cheering from the main room but we stood around in the locker room arguing, there was no way we could confront him in front of all his followers. "We may have done sod all with our powers, but we never abused them. We never raped or murdered anyone." Nathan was ranting to no one in particular. Curtis just rolled his eyes, "She raped me, and we killed loads of people." Nathan threw up his hands in defeat, leaving that argument behind "OK. But we're the good guys." Tired of hearing them bicker I tried to steer the conversation back to the actual issue. "Every time we get anywhere near him, he'll just fuck off somewhere else." Simon had managed to open a locker stashed with tons of cash. "We need our powers. We can use this to buy them back." Marnie excitedly joined in "And then we're kicking the shit out of Jesus!" I snorted but Kelly let out an annoyed "He's not Jesus, all right?" I looked at Marnie eyes wide in shock and she mirrored the expression. After a small smile we all started to move the locker.

"This way." Nathan gestured with his head before turning to Marnie who was standing beside me. "Should you be carrying something heavy like this?" She let out a strong "I'm fine." Before removing her hands to reveal she wasn't really holding it at all making me chuckle to myself it was much easier than getting annoyed at something so trivial especially considering she looked ready to give birth any day now. "I think that belongs to me." We all turned around shocked to find Jesus standing with his arms open staring at the locker we were all carrying. "Come and get it if you fucking want it." Kelly challenged him. "Back this way, back this way." Nathan tried to rush us towards the door. "If the mountain won't come to Mohammed." Jesus said his voice still sounded calm but his face betrayed his true emotions. "Now he's starting on the Muslims!" Nathan cried out, suddenly Jesus pushed his hand out and suddenly the locker lifted out of our hands. "Ah, shit!" We all screamed in unison frantically trying to grab it back. Our attempts weren't working and suddenly it was pulled from our grasps. The locker moved with too much force, right towards Jesus. It pushed his body into the back wall, the locker opened and money flew out everywhere. The force of his death managed to knock a wreath fell onto his bloodied face. We all rushed forward as Kelly exclaimed "Oh shit. We've killed Jesus!" Nathan made a cross over his heart, Alisha tilted her head her entire body saying really? But Nathan shrugged her judgement off, "Just in case he really is Jesus." Suddenly the followers stepped out from the other room, one of them fell to the ground in front of the so called Jesus, "Our Lord has sacrificed himself, again." Kelly shouted out in annoyance "He's not Jesus! He's just a dickhead with a few super powers." The lady turned to us with a scoff, "Super powers? Do you really expect me to believe that?" I glanced at Kelly wondering what was up with this chick when Nathan cried out stepping away from Marnie, "Ah! Did you piss yourself again?" We looked up at her waiting for an explanation as she grunted out, "My waters have broken. The baby's coming Ow!" With that Marnie dropped down onto the ground Nathan looked around looking over joyed before finally finding his voice "What do we do?" With that we sprung into action.

I sat on one side of Marnie with Nathan on the other freaking out, Alisha was next to me searching up anything that might be able to help us. Simon and Curtis were awkwardly standing off to the side, no help at all not that I expected them to be, Kelly had left to call 911 again to find out where the ambulance was. Marnie's breathing was quick and Nathan cried out, "Does anyone know anything about delivering babies, because I think this is happening right now." Simon stepped forward exclaiming "Hot towels!" Nathan nodded I assumed this was the extent of their knowledge, "Hot towels! Right!" Simon spun around in a circle, "We haven't got any." Nathan moved his head clearly stressed, "Oh, you're a big fucking help." Curtis stepped forward trying to move on and help, "Where's the ambulance?" Kelly sighed before replying frustrated "It's on its way!" I looked at Marnie quietly asking her "How close is it to actually coming out?" I really didn't want her freaking out more than she already was that wouldn't be safe. Nathan leaped forward "I don't know. How does it feel, baby?" She shouted out in pain, "It feels like my cunt's being ripped apart!" Nathan shrugged his shoulders "I'm no expert, but that sounds normal. Right. I'm going down for a quick peak." He went down and pulled out his phone, he took a photo as we watched on. Not really in surprise but more exhaustion at Nathan's antics. "There's a little baby coming out of your twat!" He sounded proud and Marnie, she nodded along as Simon turned away. Birth wasn't exactly pretty. "Me and Marnie talked about it, and we want all of you to be the baby's godparents." Nathan's words rushed out my eyebrows went up in shock what was he saying. "She doesn't even know us." Curtis cried out as if it was an inconvenience instead of simply confusing. "She hasn't got any other friends, and neither have I. I told her there's no-one in the world I trust more than you guys." Nathan explained as we looked around at each other confused, "You said that about us?" Kelly asked him holding back a laugh. "Well, no, not really. So what d'you say?" Finally Marnie said something we were all thinking "Will you please shut the fuck up?!" He immediately started apologizing and not shutting up at all. "Sorry. Sorry. Sorry, baby. Come on. Just push." That's when Marnie really started screaming.

The baby had been born and Nathan hadn't stopped his excited chattering since, "Hello! He looks like me. Hey, there, little fella. It's OK. Daddy's here." The baby started to cry a little and in response Nathan started to sing. "Little donkey, little donkey, On the dusky road, Gotta keep on plodding onwards, With your precious load," Simon came and sat with me behind Nathan and Marnie, looking down at the little baby. "Been a long time, little donkey, Through the winter's night, Don't give up now, little donkey, Bethlehem's in sight" The whole group sat together, and with a quick glance around and a nod we all joined in. "Ring out the bells tonight, Bethlehem, Bethlehem, Follow the star tonight, Bethlehem, Bethlehem." As the song ended everyone immediately bounced up aside from Nathan and Marnie, "You've seriously lost your cool." Curtis coughed. "Oh, shut up. It's Christmas." Alisha stalked off. Simon came to hug me gave me a soft kiss on my forehead. Nathan picked up the baby and moved towards the nativity scene the community center had set up. He threw out the baby doll and placed Marnie's baby there instead. "Sorry, Jesus." Marnie then cried out "I think I'm having another! I think I'm having twins!" Nathan turned around frantic, "What?!" Oh shit we forgot about the placenta, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph! What is it? What is it? You're giving birth to an alien! Get it out, get it out!" Nathan was screaming and shouting obviously having no idea what it was and started to kick it away as I cried out "It's the afterbirth, you dickhead!" Nathan nodded his head as if he knew that all along, "Anyway, so happy Christmas, one and all."

The others had taken their money and gone to see the power dealer, I had tagged along to be there with the others to see what they'd get. Nathan had shown up in a Christmas jumper which seemed to offend anyone who saw it, though especially Curtis, "That is a fucking horrible jumper." Nathan looked over at him annoyed, "Shut up. It was a Christmas present from Marnie." Before we could continue the door slammed open and the man just walked away. "That's very rude." Alisha scoffed as Simon turned to the group questioning us all. "Is there any reason why have to have the same powers as before?" Kelly shook her head before responding "He said if we've got the money, we can take our pick." Everyone else nodded their heads in acceptance. Then he walked in, "So who's first?" No one stepped forward immediately so Kelly scoffed and stepped forward, looking over her shoulder to make a final comment, "You're all such pussies! I'll do it."
