padme  was  a  reasonable  human  being  ,  she  had  to  rule  a  whole  planet  by  the  time  most  people  her  age  would  be  graduating  or  fighting  over  some  dumb  boy  on  earth  .  she  had  come  to  know  when  to  fight  &  when  to  allow  the  situation  to  dissolve  on  its  own  .  in  this  moment  ,  she  had  given  the  latter  option  a  chance  .  she  had  waited  patiently  for  anakin  to  have  a  conversation  with  her  ,  tell  her  what  exactly  she  did  that  managed  to  have  her  husband  give  her  a  cold  shoulder  .  they  went  from  barely  able  to  tear  their  hands  off  each  other  to  anakin  making  beds  on  the  couch  as  if  it  was  torturous  to  be  near  his  wife  .  ‘‘  pardon  me  ?’’  she  asked  ,  genuinely  confused  as  to  how  she  was  hard  to  be  understood  .  she  had  told  him  on  the  very  first  day  that  she  understood  his  reasoning  behind  giving  into  the  dark  side  &  that  she  went  peacefully  with  the  thought  of  all  the  good  in  her  husband  being  the  last  thing  she  could  visualize  in  her  mind  .  ‘‘  i  have  never  left  your  side  ,  anakin  skywalker  .  how  dare  you  question  my  loyalty  to  you  .  ’’  she  said  ,  eyebrows  furrowing  to  show  her  confusion  &  anger  towards  the  other  that  was  across  from  her  .  ‘‘  should  i  allow  you  a  few  moments  to  remember  who  you  have  married  ?  because  i  am  certain  you  are  not  speaking  of  me  because  i  have  done  nothing  but  love  you  unconditionally  .  ’’

the   man   sits   in   silence   ,   his   gaze   returning   straight   ahead   as   he   allowed   padme's   words   to   sink   in   .   but   ,   he   remembered   this   differently   --   had   been   haunted   by   the   memories   of   it   that   always   seemed   to   intertwine   themselves   in   his   dreams   .   "   you   LEFT   me   .   "   he   states   ,   his   voice   already   beginning   to   smolder   with   frustration   .   with   this   statement   ,   he   had   glanced   upwards   again   ,   eyes   of   ice   focused   on   her   .   "   i   remember   it   all   ,   how   can   you   speak   to   me   as   if   i   am   lying   to   you?   "   his   hands   had   begun   to   shake   ,   the   emotion   in   his   tone   beginning   to   overwhelm   anakin   .   "   you   looked   me   in   the   eye   ,   padme   .   you   told   me   that   you   did   not   want   me   ,   that   i   was   to   have   nothing   to   do   with   our   child   .   i   remember   it   all   ,   it   is   not   something   that   a   man   forgets   .   "      his   voice   ,   having   always   been   controlled   and   professional   now   vibrated   ,   breaking   completely   as   tears   began   to   slid   across   the   man's   cheekbones   .   "   now   to   be   here   ,   why   must   it   be   like   this?   i   must   see   you   every   day   ,   i   must   speak   with   you   --   knowing   that   you   have   no   desire   to   be   around   me   .   no   desire   to   be   with   me   .   you   may   no   longer   love   me   as   you   did   ,   but   i   will   never   stop   loving   you   .   "   his   face   was   buried   beneath   his   hands   ,   the   only   thing   now   visible   was   the   curls   resting   upon   his   head   and   the   golden   shine   of   a   wedding   band   still   worn   on   his   left   hand   .

WHENEVER  HERMIONE  ENTERED  ANY  situation,  she  always  thought  of  every  possible  reason  it  could  go  wrong.  the  situation  (  or  whatever  one  wanted  to  call  it  )  she  had  gotten  herself  into  with  draco  malfoy  was  certainly  no  exception.  in  fact,  she’d  spent  nearly  half  the  night  after  the  party  dreaming  up  all  the  ways  he  might  hurt  her  the  next  day,  if  only  to  protect  her  already  fragile  heart.  but  she  hadn’t  expected  this,  which  seems  to  only  make  the  reality  of  it  sting  worse.   “  the  tri  -  wizard  tournament  ?  just  how  delusional  have  you  become,  malfoy  ?  you  didn’t  die  in  the  tournament,  you  weren’t  even  a  participant  !  or  is  that  just  another  lie  you’ve  concocted  to  fuel  your  ego  here  ?    ”  her  rage  is  seething,  palms  smacking  against  the  table  as  she  glares  at  him.  “  i  came  over  to  get  my  book,  and  to  talk  to  you  —-  ”  she  reminds  him,  rather  harshly,  gritting  her  teeth.  “  but  i  can  see  any  chance  of  having  civil  discourse  with  you  is  futile.  look,  if  you  wanted  to  pretend  that  the  other  night  didn’t  happen,  you  could  have  just  said  so  !  ”  now  she’s  just  left  looking  like  a  fool,  but  she  assumes  that  is  mostly  intentional  on  his  part.

draco   had   leaned   back   into   the   chair   ,   his   blue   eyes   wide   as   he   watched   her   in   complete   and   utter   confusion   .   was   he   --   did   he   --   --      did   he   find   this   attractive?   this   is   soon   drowned   out   almost   entirely   ,   unable   to   find   the   powerful   inner   voice   that   always   seemed   to   guide   him   .   now   ,   he   was   left   practically   speechless   .   "   but   i   --   i   remember   it   .   "   his   attempt   at   defense   is   stopped-short   ,   he   was   no   longer   using   his   anger   as   a   priority   to   try   and   prove   a   point   .   in   fact   ,   the   malfoy   boy   was   listening   --   and   LISTENING   CLOSELY   .   "   what   happened   the   other   night?   "   his   voice   teeters   on   the   grounds   of   demanding   ,   hopelessly   looking   for   any   answers   that   would   pertain   to   what   memories   he   seemed   to   be   lacking   .   "   i   woke   up   here   yesterday   --   i   don't   --   i   don't   remember   .   honest   .   "   there's   a   noticeable   genuineness   to   his   words   ,   leaning   ahead   to   show   that   he   was   intently   looking   to   hermione   for   the   answers   .

the  uncomfortable  feeling  of  guilt  had  been  ridding  anything  that  dallas  had  tried  to  consume  that  day  ,  causing  his  head  to  pound  &  patience  to  be  more  thin  than  it  was  usually  .  ‘‘  great  ,  glad  that  i’m  second  when  it  comes  to  your  precious  golddigger  .  ’’  the  comment  was  unnecessary  ,  which  is  what  his  scrunched  up  face  proved  as  he  began  to  pinch  at  the  bridge  of  his  nose  with  eyes  forced  shut  .  ‘‘  sorry  ,  uncalled  for  .  ’’  he  said  as  he  pushed  out  a  deep  breath  that  he  had  taken  .  ‘‘  i  forked  that  megara  chick  new  years  .  ’’  he  said  ,  opening  his  eyes  to  look  at  soda  with  eyes  filled  with  worry  .  ‘‘  then  meg  came  over  in  the  morning  .  what  the  fork  is  wrong  with  that  ?nothing  .  forking  nothing  ,  so  why  the  shirt  am  i  whining  like  a  little  birch  like  darry  or  pony  would  ?’’

MEG’S  CONFUSION  CONTINUES  TO  grow  as  the  seconds  tick  by,  brows  furrowing  as  she  listens  to  him  rattle  on.  she  is  no  stranger  to  his  tantrums,  but  she  had  hoped  they  would  have  faded  with  maturity.  obviously  she  was  wrong.  “  well,  i  also  do  not  know  what  you’re  talking  about  !  there  is  obviously  some  sort  of  miscommunication  here.  ”  but  it  couldn’t  on  her  part.  no,  meg  is  rather  sure  of  the  pleasant  news  that  had  been  spread  throughout  the  march  family.  of  course,  she  had  been  overjoyed.  the  eldest  march  had  always  considered  laurie  to  be  a  part  of  their  family,  but  it  was  exciting  to  know  that  it  would  soon  become  official.  she  elicits  a  deep  sigh,  raking  a  hand  through  her  hair  as  she  softens  her  gaze,  determined  to  set  the  record  straight.  “  please  calm  down.  i’ll  tell  you  what  i  believe  to  be  true  :  if  jo  is  not  engaged  to  you,  then  she  is  not  engaged  to  anyone.  i  was  informed  that  upon  your  arrivals,  the  two  of  you  were  able  to  mend  your  relationship  and  you  proposed  to  her  again,  and  she  accepted.  i  just  saw  the  two  of  you  together  at  the  new  year’s  eve  ball,  happy  together  i  might  add,  so  i  don’t  understand  where  all  this  confusion  is  coming  from.  ”

meg nods along to alice’s ‘ confession ’ calmly. surprise was an emotion that she elicited less often than most people did, due to the things that she had to encounter during her tumultuous life on earth. “ we’re still all in the adjustment period. don’t worry. you’re not alone. ” she says with a small and reassuring smile. “ humans talk about death all the time and we’re still shocked by it. ” she notes with a finger raised in the air. “ do you remember when we first arrived here ? michael basically treated us like five-year-olds when he broke the news of our death to us. ” she laughs.
“ you sure about that ? ” meg jokes with an arched eyebrow when alice shifts the focus of the conversation to her. however, the smile that she has donned on is somewhat strained. “ because i am not. i’ve… done somethings. ” meg quickly brings her water bottle to her lips and takes a long drink from it, partially to stop herself from spilling unnecessary details about herself.
“ so, was that helpful ? ” she asks while clasping her hands together. “ i hope it was, i tried really hard. i better get full marks on this assignment or else. ”

there's   a   certain   wisdom   that   comes   from   her   words   ,   with   alice   curiously   latched   to   them   as   if   they   held   secrets   that   she   did   not   know   .   in   fact   ,   they   sort   of   did   .   for   alice   ,   she   had   never   found   herself   in   a   state   of   UNKNOWING   .   it   had   inflicted   a   fear   that   she   was   not   even   prepared   for   --   uncertainty   .   but   even   so   ,   she   cats   the   woman   a   smile   --   almost   rivaling   her   KNOWINGNESS   and   gives   her   head   a   slight   nod   .   "   they   have   been   doing   this   for   many   years   ,   there   are   no   mistakes   .   it's   obviously   that   one   of   your   actions   guided   past   any   that   could   have   harmed   your   chances   of   being   here   .   A   PURE   HEART   always   shows   through   .   "   alice   rested   back   ,   no   longer   feeling   the   strain   of   panic   that   had   seemingly   plagued   her   earlier   .   "   it   does   ,   i   suppose   as   just   as   arriving   here   ,   there   is   a   path   that   will   be   followed   ..   it   is   the   good   place   ,   of   course   .   what   could   go   wrong   ?   "

his   hands   grip   the   metal   mechanisms   closely   ,   having   spent   most   of   his   evenings   in   the   garage   --   working   .   he   had   needed   time   to   think   ,   aware   that   the   space   and   his   hobbies   would   allow   him   to   mull   over   his   own   feelings   --   something   that   he   often   held   great   difficulty   in   controlling   .   "   i   have   come   to   the   conclusion   that   i   fail   to   understand   you   .   "   his   voice   is   a   low   hoarse   octave,   waves   of   his   hair   ending   with   strong   curls   that   rested   on   the   nape   of   his   neck   brushed   against   him   as   anakin   finally   took   a   seat   on   one   of   the   living   room   chairs   .   hands   resting   on   his   knees   ,   the   man   leaned   back   against   the   cushion   as   his   examining   gaze   move   to   focus   on   padme   .   "   you   left   me   .   you   wished   for   nothing   to   do   with   me   ,   for   me   to   have   nothing   to   do   with   our   children   and   then   we   arrive   here   --   and   suddenly   ,   that   is   all   forgotten   .   "   his   statement   sounds   more   along   the   lines   of   a   question   ,   though   his   rambling   has   soon   taken   over   ,   not   allowing   the   woman   to   speak   as   anakin's   own   voice   commanded   the   conversation   .   "   not   that   i   feel   as   though   you   had   no   reason   to   give   up   on   me   ,   you   did   .   you   whole-heartedly   did   .   you   still   do   .   but   to   act   as   though   you   feel   anything   different   from   that   has   grown   too   much   more   me   --   you   have   showed   where   you   stand   clearly   yet   --   "      his   expression   is   one   of   pure   distraught   ,   palms   facing   upward   as   though   he   wished   an   answer   would   fall   into   them   .      "      --   this   is   far   greater   than   a   heart   can   take   .   "

 forty’s  in  the  radio  tower.  he  loves  it  here  ,  particularly  because  it  was  not  only  his  request  to  have  it  added  to  the  good  place  ,  but  he  also  takes  credit  for  the  idea  of  it  in  the  first  place.  he’s  working  away  on  stories  and  scripts  for  his  and  veronica’s  good  place  podcast  when  the  muffled  voice  captures  his  attention.  and  although  it  doesn’t  startle  forty  ,  it  certainly  irritates  him.  he  had  been  in  the  zone  ,  which  is  ,  admittedly  ,  pretty  easy  for  an  inspired  writer  such  as  himself.  but  still.  annoying.  he  spins  around  and  squints  at  the  man  on  the  window.  forty  heaves  a  sigh  and  drags  it  open.  “can  i  help  you  ,  duke  of  lanky  spider  monkeys?”

"   spider   --   what   ?   "   peter   ponders   aloud   ,   physically   shaking   off   the   thought   as   he   returns   his   attention   to   the   man   .   his   eyes   are   wide   ,   attempting   to   completely   absorb   the   entire   tower   that   he   seemed   to   be   resting   on   .   "   is   this   a   place   for   aliens   ?   "   he   questions   ,   having   heard   the   term   used   during   a   questionable   fight   between   a   guy   with   a   light   up   knife   and   a   very   aggressive   lady   --   perhaps   they   were   on   to   something   .   the   large   metal   area   felt   as   though   it   could   possibly   be   EXACTLY   what   they   had   been   arguing   about   and   peter   had   never   been   one   to   allow   a   moment's   curiosity   to   pass   without   exploration   .

SHE  ALLOWS  A  MOMENT  of  silence  to  pass  between  them,  a  slow  exhale  blowing  past  her  lips  as  her  eyes  narrow.  he’d  always  had  a  habit  of  bringing  out  the  worst  of  her  temper,  and  it  seems  as  this  situation  would  be  no  exception.  “  previously  ?!  you  know,  i  had  really  thought  better  of  you,  malfoy.  but  this  low,  even  for  you.  ”  she  balls  her  fists  in  her  lap,  steadying  her  breath  as  her  hard  gaze  meets  his.  hermione  can  feel  her  cheeks  becoming  flushed,  her  tone  growing  harsher  at  each  word  that  falls  from  her  lips,  but  she’s  determined  not  to  let  him  see  her  crack.  “  if  you  want  to  act  this  way,  fine.  i  should  have  expected  nothing  less,  considering  you’ve  always  been  nothing  but  a  coward.  i  can’t  believe  i  even  contemplated  giving  you  a  chance  !  ”

he   had   often   found   himself   in   confrontational   situations   ,   whether   it   be   home   or   school   ,   he   was   a   natural   magnet   for   such   things   .   so   he   inhaled   sharply   ,   opening   his   mouth   to   retort   pack   aggressively   --   and   instead   ,   his   entire   mouth   went   dry   ,   leaving   the   man   completely   speechless   .   staring   at   the   woman   in   shock   of   his   own   body's   actions   ,   and   practically   cursing   it   for   allowing   such   a   thing   to   happen   under   these   circumstances   .      "   i   don't   know   what   you're   even   talking   about   !   "   draco   had   found   his   voice   ,   although   it   was   much   shriller   than   usual   .   "   what   chance   ?   what   are   you   even   going   on   about   ?   it's   been   years   since   i've   even   seen   you   .   you   die   in   a   tri-wizard   cup   and   suddenly   everyone   things   you're   a   coward   --   you're   going   on   like   a   sphinx   ,   complete   nonsense   .   why   did   you   even   come   over   ?   to   make   fun   of   me   ?   fork   sake   ,   i've   heard   enough   .   "   the   upset   is   clear   ,   displayed   across   draco's   entire   face   like   a   failed   painting   .

“ y-your shadow ? ” her brows furrow as she tries to process the other’s flow of logic, but when peter swerves dangerously due to the strong breeze, meg immediately reaches her arm out for support, however, at the cost of losing her train of thought.
she decides to focus on catching this ‘ shadow ’ on the loose instead of trying to wrap her head around it for now. after all, since she was faring well in the after world and its new contraptions, meg was confident that she could get used to a shadow.
“ well, how important is it for you to find your shadow ? ” she adds as she sticks her head out the window to get a better view. “ i can help but, to be honest, if it keeps on running away from you, maybe it’s not a good idea to chase after it ? maybe it’ll come back to you if you let it enjoy its freedom long enough. ” meg speculates unconfidently, hoping that the small smile on her lips would offset how impractical her idea could sound.

"   clearly   you   do   not   know   my   shadow   .   "   his   states   aloud   ,   annoyance   dripping   from   his   sharp   tongue   .   "   if   one   loses   their   shadow   ,   it   can   often   lead   to   a   string   of   bad   luck   .   it   tends   to   get   into   trouble   --   which   is   why   i   had   it   sewed   on   last   time   ,   just   before   i   came   here   .   "   his   tone   is   a   matter-of-fact   ,   thankfully   ,   as   peter   would   be   unaware   of   why   someone   would   possibly   question   him   --   especially   with   him   being   do   confident   in   his   explanation   .   "   you   wouldn't   happen   to   have   some   thread   on   you   ,   would   you   ?   "   his   question   is   essentially   a   half-thought   ,   his   focus   now   trained   on   the   ground   as   he   mentally   calculated   how   he   would   be   getting   down   .   it   was   a   shame   that   fairy   dust   was   not   used   here   --   it   would   solve   situations   like   this   with   ease   .   "   come   on   now   ,   what   are   we   waiting   for   ?   we're   wasting   precious   time   .   "   peter   encourages   ,   leaping   from   the   window   and   diving   into   the   pile   of   leaves   just   a   few   feet   below   .

                    if  anyone  asked  her  what  she  imagined  the  good  place  to  be  like  ,  it  would  be  this  .  surrounded  by  endless  books  on  shelves  ,  perfectly  sorted  by  genre  ,  their  bindings  in  tact  without  one  inch  of  misplace  .  she  wanted  to  feel  overwhelmed  but  she  couldn’t  ,  she  couldn’t  even  bare  to  take  her  eyes  off  the  books  that  were  just  drawing  her  in  .  slim  fingers  reach  up  to  lightly  brush  against  bindings  of  a  few  novels  ,  a  faint  smile  on  her  lips  as  if  the  books  were  whispering  a  secret  to  her  .  she  heard  them  behind  her  ,  although  she  couldn’t  really  bring  herself  to  care  if  she  was  in  the  way  .  ‘‘  if  you  had  to  read  one  author  for  the  rest  of  eternity  —–  who  would  it  be  ?  ’’  she  asked  the  unknown  person  behind  her  .
