When Amber hits the ground, instead of getting back up, she just curls into a ball and cries. She doesn’t know how long she remains like that, but eventually a series of voices bring her out of it.
Together, they exclaim, “Amber?!”
“Oh my god! Are you okay?!”
“What happened to you?!”
They’re the voices of Amber’s best friends, Alayna, Sami, Tara, and Neal. Her joy at hearing their voices, knowing that they’re alive and beside her, gives her the will to sit up. Sniffling and wiping away the worst of her tears, she manages, “Hi, guys… How did you find me?”
***
Bupkus cries for much longer than he ever thought himself capable of, but he eventually pulls himself together. Firmly, he thinks, I need to be strong for my baby girl… Everything will be okay… I just need to focus on helpin’ her if our plan doesn’t work… And with that, he stops his crying and drives back to his castle.
When he arrives, he barely has time to hop out of his truck before his friends are surrounding him and asking if he’s okay. He just shrugs in response.
“Well, you’re gonna feel a lot better when we tell you what we found!” Nawt says excitedly.
Bupkus sighs in annoyance; he really isn’t in the mood for this. “What did you find?” he asks with disinterest.
“That device the boss gave us, remember? The thing that knows pretty much everything and can show us anything or anyone we wanna see!”
His jaw drops at that. “Are you serious? I thought you guys lost it for good! Tell me you ain’t jokin’!”
“We’re not jokin’!” Nawt replies, grinning ear to ear.
“Do… do you think it can show ‘er? Even with the time travel ‘n everything?” he asks hopefully.
They all shrug and Bang says, “I dunno… but we figured it’s worth a shot…”
With that, they go inside and head upstairs to Bupkus’ TV room. As they all plop down on the couches, Pound pulls a small, red device that looks a bit like a Pokedex from his pocket and tells it to show them Amber. It turns into a big screen TV, pushing the other one out of the way, and it instantly zooms through time to show her to them.
They see her sitting on the floor with tears streaming down her face as three girls and a guy come to stand over her. One is a red-head that stands about Amber’s height, one is a slightly taller blonde, one is a tall brunette, and the guy is tall with nearly shoulder-length dark brown hair. They’re all dressed in gothic clothes except for the brunette girl, though she’s wearing handcuff jewelry.
Looking up at them, Amber sniffles and uses the back of her hand to wipe away the worst of her tears before saying, “Hi, guys… How did you find me?”
***
Layna, the red-headed girl, is the first to respond to Amber’s question. “Well, you were two hours late and not responding to our messages so we decided to go looking for you… I mean, we knew you already left… We found your car all dirty and fucked up in front of this building… What happened to you? Why are you crying?” she asks, looking down at her with concern.
Sami, the blonde girl, jumps in, “Did somebody hurt you? I’ll kick their fuckin’ ass!”
“Fuck yes!” Neal agrees enthusiastically.
Amber laughs, “No, no… God, it’s such a long story… Like, you have no idea just HOW long…”
“But Amber is lying in this abandoned building crying! We need to know why!” Layna says worriedly.
“Tell us, Ambers!” Tara, the brunette girl, presses.
“You guys are gonna think that I hit my head and went bonkers… Oh, wait!” Amber exclaims suddenly, jumping up and pointing to the time machine.
They all move towards it and peer at the screen. With an incredulous look, Layna says, “Time machine? Seriously?”
“Yes! I hit the button and OMG… I had an epic six-month-long adventure,” Amber replies animatedly.
Neal hits the enter button and the error message pops up. Looking disappointed, he says, “Aww…”
“You should’ve waited for us! I want an epic adventure!” Sami says sadly.
“I would have if I didn’t think it was some kind of joke…”
“Why did you come in here in the first place?” Tara asks in confusion.
“Well, you guys know my sense of directions… I came up here to ask someone for help finding the mall. But this is what was making the bright light,” she replies, gesturing towards the time machine.
“What was your epic adventure like?” Neal asks curiously.
She sighs, “It was… very emotional.” When they all look confused, she goes on, “I’ll try to narrow it down to the big parts… The human species was wiped out by an alien invasion and the fuckers were after me. Like, big time. But one of them was sexy and I ran out of food and was gonna die anyways so I was like ‘what’s there to lose’, yah know? So, I trusted him and he ended up being really amazing and we fell in love and we had hardcore sex like every night. It was AWESOME.” Her words come out very rushed and excited.
They all start laughing as she finishes. Sami is the first to respond, “Wow, Amber, thanks for that last part!”
She laughs, “Sorry ‘bout that…”
“So, why were you crying?” Layna asks in confusion.
“Because I love him so much and I didn’t want to leave him… I feel like I’ll never see him again… But I had to come back.”
“We would’ve been sad if you didn’t!” Sami exclaims.
“I missed you guys hardcore! But there’s another reason too… The invasion starts in a month exactly,” she finishes heavily.
The happy atmosphere dies away at those words. “Are you serious?!” Tara exclaims.
“Yeah… I have a plan though… I wouldn’t have come back without a plan ‘cause I’ll only have one shot at it…”
“So what’s the plan?” Layna asks.
“Before the invasion starts, at like 4:30 PM, I have to get to the channel 9 news station… The guys I met that helped me will be there killing people and getting ready to make a broadcast informing us of our planet’s impending doom. I just have to show them the video we made and convince them to stop the invasion.”
“What video?” Sami asks curiously.
Amber heads over to her bags and pulls out her laptop, saying, “Come see.”
They all come over and sit around it as she presses play on the video. They’re really shocked upon seeing the monsters and how large they are. Amber starts blushing once it gets to the part where she and Bupkus are kissing.
“Awww, he’s large and he loooves youuu! That’s frikkin’ cute!” Layna says and they all laugh.
After it’s over, Amber puts her laptop away and says, “So you guys aren’t weirded out by my relationship are you?”
Layna laughs, “Not really, it’s so… Amber. With your love of Thrax, Darth Maul, Predators… all those alien-monster guys… it’s not really that surprising.”
The others laugh and state their agreement.
“Sorry if this is too personal, but… how did you guys have sex? He’s… fucking huge!” Sami asks in bewilderment.
“Um, yeah… it wasn’t easy… And it hurt. Like, a lot. But OH MY GOD. It was the best thing ever,” she replies enthusiastically.
“That’s… largely confusing,” Layna says with a laugh.
“All of it was largely confusing! Knowing that we were only a month away from dying and had no idea, wondering how I died, knowing that everyone I love had suffered so much, the fact that Bupkus did such horrible things, maybe to us, but I love him sooo much… god. I’m surprised I’m taking it all so well, actually. And you guys are too!”
“Eh, it’s not as fun as a zombie apocalypse, but I’m down!” Neal says happily.
Sami and Layna laugh, but Tara looks kind of worried and says, “How will we keep the ones we love from dying without them thinking we’re nuts? That plan might not work instantly… Or will they broadcast before they start killing everyone?”
Amber thinks about it for a moment before responding, “I’m not sure…” As they all stop to ponder that, she goes on, “I guess we have a month to figure it out…”
They nod in agreement, but they’re all still worried. Layna is the first to speak up, “So… what are we gonna do now?”
“I think going to the mall would be like the biggest relief ever right now… but if you guys’ve already had your fill of it, we can just go do something else…” Amber says timidly.
“Oh no, we weren’t done, we were just worried,” Layna replies with a laugh.
With that, they help Amber with her bags and head out to their cars. Tara and Neal’s are both parked behind Amber’s.
As Amber tosses her bags into her trunk, Layna says, “I’ll ride with you so you don’t get lost again, ma’am!”
She laughs and responds, “Okay, ma’am! Thank youuu!”
Once they’re all ready, they hop into their vehicles and head for the mall, which is much easier to find using Layna’s directions. When they get there, they go to Hot Topic, their favorite store. It’s all they can do not to buy everything that they see. They then go to the food court area and eat Chinja’s because they love their Chinese food; Amber would describe it as godly. After that, it’s off to Starbucks and a book store. By the time that they’re done, everything is closing.
As they’re walking back to their cars, Sami says excitedly, “Let’s go back to our streaking park!”
There’s a chorus of agreement at that. Amber is happy to be back and having fun with her friends, but her sadness is still there, though she forces it into the back of her mind. She knows that streaking will be a good way to make herself feel better, even temporarily.
They all hop back into their cars and drive back to Thornton, heading for the park by Sami’s house. When they get there, they hang out on the playground for a little bit, talking and laughing. Then the sprinklers come on.
“Fuck yes!” Sami and Amber exclaim together.
Tara and Layna laugh, while Neal just sighs and goes, “Oh, great… I’m so excited…”
The girls run over to the sprinklers, Layna and Tara stripping down to their underwear, Sami and Amber going all the way naked. Once they’re all stripped down, they run through the sprinklers, laughing and screaming. Neal just stays on the playground and covers his eyes, sighing at his friends’ crazy antics.
After running around the sprinklers several times, the girls get paranoid and rush to get their clothes back on.
“That was fucking great!” Amber says, enjoying the adrenaline rush.
“Fuck yes!” Sami agrees.
Once they’re all dressed, Layna laughs and calls to Neal, “Okay, cutie, you can uncover your eyes now!”
He does, laughing as well.
“I can’t wait to go skinny dipping!” Sami exclaims.
“Yesss!” Tara and Amber agree.
Neal just sighs again at that.
“We’re crazy, but you love us!” Sami tells him.
Layna goes over and gives him a kiss before saying, “You’re cute.”
“Layna is cute!” he responds with a grin.
She laughs, “Neal is cute!”
Laughing, Sami cuts in, “For the last time, you’re both fuckin’ cute! How many times do we have to go over this?”
They continue hanging out for quite a while, having lots of fun laughing and joking around. It’s nearly 1 AM by the time they decide to call it a night.
As they head back to their cars, Amber sighs and says, “Sorry, guys, but… after all that just happened… I’m not really up to spending the night.”
Her friends nod understandingly. Upon reaching their parking spots, they all hug and promise to text each other before going their separate ways.
As Amber drives home, she plugs her Android into her car’s radio and blasts Escape the Fate’s music. She forces herself to sing along, doing absolutely everything that she can to keep herself from crying again.
She manages to get home in one piece, but feels bad for her dirtied-up car. She decides to use the hose to squirt it down a little bit; she’d take it to be washed properly tomorrow. She hops out of the car and takes her bags inside before coming back out to wash her baby.
As she heads toward the right side of the house, where the hose is located, a man’s voice speaks from directly behind her, “Hello, princess.”
At first her heart leaps, thinking that it might be Bupkus somehow, but then she realizes that the voice isn’t his at all. It’s much more high-pitched and has an accent that she’s not familiar with. Instead of her heart leaping for joy, it drops into her stomach as she turns around to find a man, about six feet tall, grinning down at her.
“You creep! Who the hell do you think you are?!” she shouts angrily, trying to sound much braver than she feels.
“Aw, that’s not very nice… I’ve been watching you very closely, waiting for the perfect opportunity… I estimated what time you’d be coming home… and I was right… Now you’re all mine…” he purrs lustfully, moving toward her like a lion stalking its prey.
“Get the fuck away from me, you sick son of a bitch!” she snarls, backing away from him.
That pisses him off and he leaps at her. Surprising even herself, she’s too quick for him. She knees him in the groin, causing him to hunch over, groaning in pain. She then takes advantage of his vulnerability and knees him in the face as hard as she can. He goes down immediately. She quickly runs around him and up the porch steps, making it into the house before he can even get off of the ground. She locks the doors before grabbing her phone and calling the police.
***
Bupkus and the others watch the events with rapt attention. They laugh at all Amber and her friends’ crazy antics at the mall and go absolutely crazy over their streaking in the park. Bupkus laughs his ass off. He had no idea that those were the kinds of crazy things she did with her friends. That girl has even more guts than I thought… he thinks with a smirk.
He even enjoys watching her drive home, having never heard her sing before. He actually finds her voice to be quite beautiful and wonders why she doesn’t sing more often, at least around him.
Then the pervert comes up behind her when she goes to hose down her car. The others fall silent as Bupkus roars angrily, “I’LL KILL THE FUCKER!”
They watch, on the edge of their seats, wishing that they could do something. Bupkus is gritting his teeth and clenching his fists so tightly that his knuckles are white, his claws cutting into his palms deep enough to draw blood.
When she knees the guy in the balls and knocks him to the ground, relief washes over them and they cheer for her. “That’s my baby girl!” Bupkus says proudly, laughing as she gets in the house and calls the cops.
***
Amber sits on the couch near the front door as she waits for the police to arrive, trembling like a leaf. She jumps when there’s a sudden angry pounding on the door and she hears the pervert scream, “LET ME IN YOU LITTLE SLUT! I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!”
She whimpers and starts crying. Stupid cops… hurry up and get here already… she thinks desperately.
Suddenly, she hears the sirens. Apparently the pervert does as well because she hears him shout, “FUCK!” and trample back down the porch steps. She breathes a sigh of relief.
The cops catch him and throw him in the back of their police car before knocking on her door. After looking through the peep hole to make sure that it’s them, she opens it and lets them in. They have her go with them to the car to identify the guy.
Upon seeing him, she nods and says, “Yep, that’s him.”
He glares at her through the bars in the window.
“Thank you, ma’am,” the taller cop says. They then walk her back to the house.
Once they’re inside, they sit at the couch to ask Amber a variety of questions and have her fill out a statement. When they ask her if she knows the guy, she hesitates before responding, “I’m… not entirely sure… There’s been this perverted guy stalking me online since I was 12 years old. He’s Dutch and I’m pretty sure this guy sounded Dutch or something. Not saying that’s reason to be positive, but…” she realizes something, “Oh! He called me ‘princess.’ The internet guy did that too.”
“Did the man online tell you his name?” asks the shorter, heavyset cop with a mustache.
She nods, “Yeah, he said it was Michael Duven. But who knows? Why would he tell me his real name?”
“We’ll look into it, ma’am… That’s all we needed to know,” he replies, standing and grabbing the forms that she filled out.
As the other cop stands up, he looks down at her with concern and asks, “You sure you’re alright?”
“Oh… yeah… a little shaken, but whatever. I’ll be okay,” she replies, trying to convince herself as much as him.
“Okay, ma’am… Have a good night. We’ll be in touch later on.”
“Okay, thank you!” she says, standing up to walk them to the door. As she locks it behind them, she thinks miserably, I’m starting to think I was safer with the monsters…
She then heads upstairs to her bathroom to do her usual nightly routine. In the shower, she cries like crazy. It takes her nearly two hours to finish, one and a half to cry and the rest to wash.
Once she’s finally ready for bed, she takes her anxiety pills for the first time in four months. She didn’t want to run out while she was in the future so she only took them at necessary times, such as when she snuck out to get food.
She’s so upset that she thinks she’ll have trouble falling asleep, but after a day like today, she’s exhausted. Once she gets into bed and puts her music on, she finds herself drifting off almost instantly.
***
When the pervert calls Amber a slut and threatens to kill her, Bupkus wants to jump through the TV and snap him in half. “That little piece of shit! Nobody talks to my baby like that!” he snarls angrily.
They’re all relieved when the cops finally show up and snag the fucker. Bupkus is surprised to hear about the online stalker. He’s horrified when she says that he always called her “princess.”
“Hey… isn’t that one of the things you always call her, Bupkus?” Pound asks.
“Yeah… Oh, my poor baby… I wish she would have told me that…” he says remorsefully.
He feels another pang of guilt when she cries for so long in the shower. He notices her take pills when she gets out. They’re different than the allergy ones that he’d see her take sometimes. He wonders what they’re for. Nawt voices his question, “What’re the pills for?”
The TV answers, “They’re for general anxiety and panic disorder. It’s a mental disorder that makes humans experience feelings of panic at times.”
“She never told me that either…” Bupkus mutters.
“She didn’t want to run out of them while she was here so she only took them when she was in desperate need of them. Such as when she went to sneak food from the grocery stores,” the TV answers again.
“Oh…” he says softly. He had wondered why sometimes her heart would race and she would twitch like she was trying not to freak out. He just figured that it was because she was here and it was all so strange and new to her.
When she falls asleep, the others leave one by one. Bupkus watches her for a while before he decides that he wants to sleep with her. He goes to bed, cuddling the pillow that she would lie on sometimes, and falls asleep breathing in her scent.
