Dialogue-only, no names. The actual prompt is for the Danny/Sam/Tucker trio. But really... This isn't the first trio. History repeats. So tell me... who be these three?


Trio

"We don't do this enough."

"Do what? Lay around staring at the ceiling?"

"Exactly. We're always rushing around, dealing with work, fighting ghosts, we never get a chance to just do nothing anymore. You know, like we used to."

"Yeah..."

Siiiiigh. "I miss this."

"There was no reason we had to stop."

"Yes there was. Things changed. Everything happened. And then ghost powers were involved. Of course everything had to change."

"That's not true."

"Be honest. Could things stay the same? Could we have just continued on as though nothing was different? Even knowing what..."

Sigh. "Things did change. But they didn't have to change into this."

"Then why didn't you try to stop it? I tried, I really did, but it took all of us to prevent it. And you... you just..." Sigh. "You didn't even try."

"There's no starting over, is there?"

"No, no there is not."

"It died, didn't it?"

"It's as dead as I am."

"Does that mean there's hope?"

Sigh. "So optimistic. You always were. I'm not. I know better."

One figure got up and left, leaving two laying on the floor.

"Well I don't."

A second figure got up and followed the first.

A lone figure remained laying on the laboratory floor, staring at the ceiling. Eyes closed, blocking the sight.

What they three had once... broke.
