Lil'

Oh please! You’re just as stunning, you don’t need my help trying to flag someone down. 

Perhaps, but two is definitely better than one, am I wrong?

Oh, wow. Sounds as though you have a secret to share with us. How’s that infinity gauntlet treating you, Thanos?

I’m going to be honest, I’ve never seen the Avengers, so I’m not sure what you’re referencing. However, I do believe that I’d be more of the Hulk than Thanos. 

Ah, see that’s where you fail. There’s absolutely nothing you could say to turn me off hotdogs. You ever had a Chicago dog? Game changer.

I can’t say that I have. I’m also a little afraid to google what that monstrosity is. Why don’t you tell me?

I’ll be honest most of my clothes are similar, I have one fashion style. So it’s usually the same kind of thing.

I guess it’s different between women and men’s fashion. You’re right. There really isn’t much variety in men’s fashion. While if I accidentally throw away a shirt I’ll probably never find one like it again.

‘I mean, I’m happy to accept your homemade baked goods all year round. Why seclude it to just one day? It’s lovely to meet you too, Lily.’

Well, I suppose you could. You’d just be getting a fraction of what you would on your birthday. This isn’t an Alice in Wonderland situation, though that’d be pretty cool. 

‘‘Do you mind helping me with my things? I hate to be a bother but I’m in some pain right now..’’ Stefani frowned as she motioned to her suitcase and a couple of bags. ‘’And I’m also not sure where my room is.’’

“I’m sure I could help.” Lily replied anxiously. She wasn’t actually sure, though she’d definitely try. “I’m still fairly new as well, so I can’t promise we won’t get lost.”

Oh that’s a good idea too, I’m sure we could find someone in this place willing to show us the way. I’m actually surprised they don’t have maps or anything to get around here. 

You’re right. No one here’s probably thought about that one. It doesn’t matter much, I guess, especially when I’ve got someone as beautiful as yourself to flag someone down. 

I dug this hole for myself. May as well set up camp. And stop. I’ll never be able to enjoy chocolate again.

I’m sorry, did you want me to stop? Or shall we ruin all of our favorite foods? I know I can’t eat hotdogs anymore, that’s for sure. You dragged me down this hole, too, man.

“Yeah, I have lived in the apocalypse after all. It’s nice to meet you too, Lily. How are things?”

“You can’t count that. Good. It’s quite lovely here, isn’t it? Big, too, I’m afraid I might get lost.”

“Oh damn, forgetting your toothbrush would suck. Good job you remembered it. Why were you rushed here? It’s great to see you too! This is where I’ve disappeared to over the last couple of years, yeah. Home sweet home.”

“Well, I guess you could say, I didn’t plan ahead. I only started packing about 40 minutes before I had to leave. I suppose that I should work on my management skills, huh? It’s beautiful. I can see why you’d want to come here.”

Why don’t we wanna see that? What happens to a panicked Lily? Are there any warning signals we should know about, before your inevitable wrath gets the better of us?

I think the first warning sign is how red my face becomes. Firstly-- I don’t look too pleasant, much more like a monster than a girl. As well as the large vein that tends to pop on my forehead. Like I said, not a pretty sight.

Jack lent back against the booth and took another long drink, caught up his own thoughts. He glanced up at the person who had entered and gave them a nod before returning his attention to the television at the other end of the bar, a frown on his face.

Day drinking was not routine for Lily. However, the pressure of meeting everyone, of trying to put on her best mask tired her too much to stay sober. She walked into the room, taking note of the only other at the bar and made her way to the first stool she could find. She muttered off some drink before resting her head in her hands. 

Man, I feel spoilt. If I hadn’t already eaten my body weight in frosting this month, I’d totally be taking you up on it. And that sounds like the most british day ever. 

I’d say you’re missing out, but I won’t push. Funny you say that considering where we are. 

“Are you just going to stand there and stare or are you going to show me where a girl can get a drink around here?”

“That there lies the problem. I’m not entirely sure either, oops.”

‘Y’know, I’ve been here since 2014 and I don’t think anyone has ever asked me that, so. It would be a first at least. Hi, I’m Zayn.’

“I’m glad to be your first, I guess. It’s great to meet you. I’m psyched to be here.”
