I felt a rush of air as me and Cid were standing at the bridge. Only a couple cars were going by, and I saw Valen on the rail guard.

"Valen, wait!" [Me]

He didn't turn aroud, but he acknowledged my existence none the less, "Alex? What are you doing here?"

"I don't know, what are you doing?"

"What's it look like?"

"Like you're about to make the biggest mistake of your life."

"If so, then at least it'll be the last."

"Valen, I don't understand, what do you have to be angry about?"

"Alex, me not kissing you was a precaution. If I never kissed you, then I wouldn't want to as much, and that'd help keep both of our parents from finding out. And you dumped me anyways."

"Okay, fair enough, but that was two years ago. You need to let it go. Move on. There's plenty of people out there for you to be with! I mean, you're not gonna like Monday, but a lot of people won't, so-"

"Monday, what does that have to do with anything?"

"Quite a bit actually, but- that's not the point! The point is... Get over it. You're being ridiculous."

"... Aren't you spposed to bee talking me out of suicide?" He glanced over his shoulder and his jaw dropped. He fell backwards onto the bridge and came over to me, completely confused and dumb founded. "What the hell..."

"Yeah. This happened."

"... You're so colorful now. Can't even really... Look at you."

"Not the Alex you knew?"

"No... I guess we've both changed since then, anyways. When I see you... you're not as shy and terrified as you used to be, and now... Well, now you're colorful and you'd beat the shit out of someone if they hit on your boyfriend."

"Heh, yeah. Not to mention, you're the terrified one, now."

"Heh... So, how did this happen?"

"Something tells me you'll find out on Monday."

"Monday?"

"Yup, the world's gonna change, Valen. Don't ask why, you'll find out."

"... On Monday?"

"Yup."

"... Why?"

"I'm done talking to you." I turned around and started to walk off down the bridge but he stopped me.

"W-wait! I won't ask about Monday anymore, but... where are you going? I thought you lived on the south side of the bridge."

"Oh, yeah. Uh, doesn't matter. Roads'll take me home eventually."

"... Okay. But... my parents threw me out."

"Oh. Well, in that case, I guess... I guess there's no way to explain Monday then to show you." I grabbed his shoulder and held my hand outstretched a little, starring at Cid, who was just watching. He walked by me and grabbed my hand, and in a split second the rushing air was gone and everything around us changed to reveal Kyle's living room. X and Jeran were cuddling on the couch while the others sat in the dining room playing some massive table top game.

Ted noticed us from the dining room, "Oh, you're back. And you brought Valen."

"What." Seth got up and came out of the dining room. "Why?"

"His parents threw him out." [Me]

"Heh heh... I can take it I'm not welcome. ... I'd leave but I don't even know how I got here." [Valen]

"Magic- Come on Seth! It's not like I love him or anything! I mean, you see his body, right?" [Me]

"Right here." [Valen]

"But... Fine. Whatever, but... Does he have to know about magic?" [Seth]

"There's no such thing as magic." [Valen]

I held up my hand at a weird angle, and pictured it wreathed in flames. It worked, but at the same time it burned like hell and I ran to the sink to wash my hand.

"Oh, so there is magic. Are you gonna throw out god while you're at it?" [Valen]

"If there's a god, his name is Cid." [Me]

"Not funny!" [Jeran]

"Jeran, if... What was your reasoning for everyone getting horny lately? I feel like that can really be applied here." [Me]

"... Oh my god, you're a genius. And I know it's gonna happen Monday, I mean, logically, right?" [Jeran]

I noticed Cid giving me a thumbs up behind Jeran, so I just nodded in agreement. "So what'll you guys do first?"

"Hey, Kyle, is there a room we can-" [Jeran]

"What?! No, not now!" [X]

"X, do it." [Seth]

"Please?" [Jeran]

"But... Fine. But you're explaining what this is to me." [X]

"I don't think he can take it." [Me]

"I don't think I can take it." [Seth]

"Stop complaining, I'm the one who has to take it." [Jeran]

"Take what?" [X]

"Nothing, but now I need a room so that me and you can... well-"

"Upstairs, second door on your right." [Kyle]

"Thank you!" Jeran got up off the couch, picked up X, and wandered down the hall to the staircase.

There was a moment's pause before Ted shouted, "God damn you, Titus!"

"Heh heh heh..." [Titus]

Me, Seth and Valen went into the dining room, and Seth took his spot at the table.

"What are you guys even playing?" [Me]

"So, how does magic work?" [Valen]

"I don't know, ask Ciph when he gets back." [Me]

"We're playing King of Tokyo." [Kyle]

"Oh."

"What's King of Tokyo?" [Valen]

"A table top game. Come on... Energies!" Tanner rolled the massive dice out of his hand, and made a weird motion with his hand as they fell. They rolled an extra second longer than the should've and all six of them turned up as energies. "Fuck yeah!"

"You so cheated!" [Ted]

"Did not." [Tanner]

"Hey, the rules don't say anything about using magic to contradict the outcome of the game." [Kyle]

"Oh, really?" Seth got up, went into Kyle's room and came out a minute later with paper and a pen. He took the dice from Tanner as Tanner grabbed his six energies, and Seth wrote a word on the paper. He rolled the dice, and I imagined them all turning up as hearts. They did, and Seth freaked out.

"What!? Who did that! Those were supposed to be attacks!" [Seth]

"Guilty as charged." [Me]

"Oh my... Why?! He's about to win!" [Seth]

The front door flew open and banged against the wall as Ciph came in, followed by Officer Angmallen. Although, Angmallen wasn't wearing his uniform, instead he was wearing a solid black trenchcoat with, what appeared to be, flintlock pistols strapped to it. He had a cutlass on his belt that radiated an electric blue color, and his bunny ears stuck out over the classic pirate he wore.

"Cipher, this is your own fault!" [Angmallen]

"No! It is not my fault Psijius got out, it's my fault I didn't kill him when I had the chance!" [Ciph]

"Psijius is out?!" [Kyle]

"Yup! And we have two days to- not only find him, but kill him. And we're not gonna be able to kill him until Monday, and it'll be in the pblic and-"

"Cipher, take a breath, calm down." [Angmallen]

"Why are you wearing pirate clothes?" [Kyle]

"I can't use magic, but your faggot can. Thanks to him, my great great grandfather's gear has a bit of an upgrade. Also, it just looks bad ass."

"Could you not call me a faggot around my boyfriend?" [Cipher]

"Wait... Oh, I'm so sorry! Is there anyone here who's straight?"

"No." [Me]

"Oh, well, in that case, fuck breeders, and- who the fuck let Cid in here?!" Angmallen pointed at Cid, who just waved his hand at him.

"What- Oh my god, get the fuck out!" [Ciph]

"Who you are talking about?" [Valen]

"Death incarnate!" [Ciph]

"What?" [Kyle]

"Cipher, please, we all know you don't hate me-" [Cid]

"If you could die, I'd kill you myself!" [Ciph]

"Cid, I want you to go rub your filthy hands all over Psijius, now!" [Angmallen]

"Hold that thought." Cid spun on his toe, and a cloak materialized around him as his features faded into the dark. His eyes stopped glowing and Kyle and Valen gasped.

"Now, let me explain something. Psijius and all his escapee friends have already been touched and tickled and fondled. Especially the lizard, he reminds me of Hammurabi, but point being! You have no reason to be mad at me!" [Cid]

"Then how do you explain that thing when I was five?" [Ciph]

"Oh... That wasn't my doing! I swear, I had no idea that was going to happen, I'm so sorry." [Cid]

"... Good. Now, how do we kill Psijius?"

"You don't, umm... Xenon does."

"... What?" [Me]

"Yeah, he... Don't tell him, but... There's nothing I can do to save Jeran. I thought about it and... Jeran's gonna die one way or another within the next four days. This way, Xenon has someone to blame, and... Quite frankly, the pain he feels when... He's gonna kill Psijius." [Cid]

"... Okay... Good. ... Is there any way to save Psijius from..." [Ciph]

"What?!" [Angmallen]

"Why would you save him!?" [Kyle]

"Cipher, I'm sorry, but he's too far gone. When he dies... you'll find out. Just... don't worry. You guys will win the fight. Angmallen, start evacuating the city under code three seventeen."

"Three seventeen? That's not even-" [Angmallen]

"Just do it, Angmallen."
