Ever since JJ had left his job at the hospital for the Medical Complex, it was safe to say his work-life balance had significantly improved. For starters, he was able to work regular hours these days. Having nights and weekends off meant that he could handle his responsibilities as a single father without running on fumes, and he was all the more grateful for that. It also meant he could finally spend more time with his friends and take his lunch break when he was supposed to. Sp, there he was. "Special delivery," JJ announced as he knocked on Josh's office door, holding up a take-out bag from Fresh. "I wasn't sure if you wanted the kale Caesar salad or the nicoise, so I got you both."

LOCATION: Darts, Annual Summer Carnival

Standing in front of the dart game, Erin squinted at the multi-coloured balloons in front of her. She held up one of the darts in her hand as if she were attempting to aim it at one of the balloons. Truth be told, she did not have a good aim and lacked any hand-eye coordination. But that did not stop her from trying her hand at this game. "Come on, Mei," she whispered to herself as she tossed the dart towards the balloon. When she missed, she tossed the other two in her hands and watched as they missed as well. "Dang it!" She shook her head in defeat before turning to the person next to her. "Please tell me that you're better at this game than I am."

“Aww geez Minnie. Finally a night out huh?“ 

Mickey crooned as a gloved hand embraced his beloved’s own. Fingers interlacing as he watched her visage in the glow of the candle lights. 

“Nothing can beat this night. Oh boy. Only one thing could make this night one hundred percent absolutely wonderful.” He chuckled as he leaned in, lips puckered towards the woman. Eyes closed waiting to feel the touch of hers. 

Pang 

Mickey shivered, eyes open abruptly. Minnie’s eyes looking at him with concern. He shook his head and leaned in again. Eyes closing once again. 

Pang 

His eyes opened again, except this time Minnie wasn’t there. Before him was an empty seat. Mickey looked around and the rest of the restaurants still hustled and bustled like usual. Nobody seem to notice the sound. The mouse’s eyes opeend as he tired to look around for Minnie. 

Pang 

The sound rang again, this time extinguishing the candle before him. Mickey looked in surprise as suddenly cracks formed around, breaking the very dimension he was in. The sound rang again. 

P A N G

The entire room shattered and broke into dust. Mickey found himself in darkness and he began to fall.  Head diving into eternal abyss as music began to play. A woman’s voice cried out.  

                                                      ♪ Donna toki datte                                                        Tada hitori de                                                       Unmei wasurete ♪  

“Waaaaaaahhhhhhh!!”

 Mickey crash lands into a cobblestone street. The sky above is dark but the entire area is illuminated with lamp posts. Orbs of randiant light flicker to and fro as the mouse opened his eyes and stood up, trying to regain his bearings. Meeting the look of a young man in silver hair.
