"Be loyal to your future not your past"

---

Maddie stopped her car in front of the Academy "You know what, I think I will stay here" Freddy said "Why?" Maddie asked "Reginald isn't my father, so I think is best if I stay here" he said "Stop that. Yeah, he wasn't your father, he wasn't my real father either, but so what, you are a member of the Umbrella Academy and a member of the family, so you have just as much right to come to the funeral as the others have" Maddie said before they looked at each other and smiled "Come on, let's go" she said before both her and Freddy stepped out and looked at the huge Academy in front of them.

"Here we go again" Maddie said and sighed "I don't really want to go to the funeral. He ruined our childhood, gave us trauma. He is the reason behind our PSTD" she said "See it on the good side, now we get to see the others again" Freddy said and Maddie smiled "Yeah, we do. I have missed them" she said "So have I" Freddy said before they walked towards the door.

As Maddie entered, she began looking around the place. The old furniture was still here, everything was still the same "Well, it seems like nothing have change, it all still look the same" she said "Yeah" Freddy said as he looked around.

But then Maddie stopped halfway down the hallway. She spotted a single picture hanging on the wall. It was a picture of the family or what was left of it. Her and her siblings was not older than 16 at the time.

Maddie and her siblings were all standing in their academy suits and their domino mask on.

Reginald Hargreeves was standing in the corner of the picture, while Allison was standing in front of him, Luther was standing next to her and Maddie was standing in front of Luther while Klaus and Diego was standing on each side of her. Other than Reginald, Maddie was the only one that wasn't really smiling. But still she had each arm around Klaus' and Diego's shoulders while they were all looking at the camera. Five was not in the picture since this was taking after he disappeared. The picture was taking before most of the others moved out and after Ben died.

Freddy wasn't in the picture since Reginald said that he wasn't part of the family and therefore there was not a single picture of him in the house. Even so Freddy went on some missions with Maddie and the others, Reginald still didn't gave him his own room, and he still wasn't allow on any of the pictures.

Reputation and a satisfying public appearance were Reginald's priorities. As a matter of fact, the closest he would get to Maddie and the others would be during their press times when they were obligated to take photos. If it wasn't that, he was keep a safe physical and emotional distance from them.

"I will say that is actually a good picture of you and the others, but it will being better if Reginald wasn't there and if Five and Ben was in it as well" Freddy said as he was standing next to Maddie, looking at the picture "Doesn't it bother you that you are not in it, that you are not in any of those fotos that was taking of all of us?" Maddie asked as she was looking at him.

"A little bit, but not as much as I will let it get to me" Freddy said "He didn't even gave you your own room" Maddie said "I survived and he could have giving me a lot worse and also Reginald said that I wasn't part of the family and he was right, I wasn't adopted by him. He told that he found me right outside the Academy and he took me in because he wanted someone to test his machine. If I shall be honest as far as I know he gave me powers because he thought I would be as strong as you and because since he couldn't really control you, he thought he could control me, but he was wrong. He said that is my fault that his machine got destroyed, he could have kicked me out but he didn't. The only reason he kept me was because of my abilities, otherwise he would have kicked me out or left me at a orphanage" Freddy said.

"It's his fault that you lost your memories about your past" Maddie said "I know, but maybe my past wasn't so good, since I had bruises and injuries all over my face and body when Reginald found me and since no one have being looking for me or reporting me missing, I assume that no one miss me, so I don't think my life was that great, and also I got it better here. But one day I will found out about my past, where I am from and who I am, and even what my real name is" Freddy said.

"And you know I will help you. And when you do find out, I will be there for you, I will always be there for you, like you have always being there for me" she said "I know" he said and they smiled to each other before they looked back at the picture.

"I'm glad he is dead" Maddie said "Yeah, me too" Freddy said.

Maddie then continued walking down the hallway, until she stopped before she looked to the right and looked into the living room.

As she looked around the living room, she think back to when her and her siblings were kids. She remember that when their dad Reginald would occasionally go away for a night for business meetings. Maddie and her siblings would meet downstairs and use a projector to have a massive movie night. They'd always fight over what to watch and who got to choose, but it was their only chance to feel like normal kids.

Maddie smiled as she think about those moments.

Then her eyes landed at a portrait hanging on the wall above the fireplace. When she spotted the portrait, she froze a bit and tears was showing in her eyes. It was a portrait of Five. He was sitting on a chair, his hands was folded and he was looking straight ahead.

Even years after he disappeared, she still miss him and think about him every day and she was still hoping that he would return to her one day.

Maddie smiled as she looked at the portrait.

Freddy was looking at the portrait, he then looked at Maddie before he looked back at the portrait, he knew what she was thinking and he knew how much Five meant to Maddie and how much Maddie meant to Five.

"I miss him, too. Not as much as you do. But I miss him. He was like a brother to me" he said and Maddie smiled a bit, but her smile faded quickly again.

Freddy, Klaus and sometimes Diego was the only people who could get Maddie to laugh or really smile, not as much as Five used to get her to smile and laugh.

Maddie could feel how much she miss Five, she felt like some part of her was empty since Five disappeared, she felt lost without Five, she could feel that she need him.

Maddie and Five had a special bond, that no one could really explain.

Letting out a sigh, Maddie walked over to the shelf to find Vanya's book.

Even so she have read it, she opened it to look through it.

"My name is Vanya Hargreeves, and this is my story....We were never a real family. We were our father's creation, family in name...but not in fact....In the end after our brother Ben died, there was really nothing to connect us. We were just strangers living under the same roof...destined to be alone...starved for attention...damaged by our upbringing...and haunted by what might have been. We all wanted to be loved by a man incapable of giving love. Our father never missed an opportunity to remind me that I was ordinary. A hard thing for a little girl to hear. If you're raised to believe nothing about you is special, if the benchmark is extraordinary, what do you do if you're not?"

Maddie scoff before closing the book and put it back in the shelf.

"Welcome home, Miss Maddie" a voice said causing Maddie to turn towards the voice and she saw Pogo standing behind her and Freddy "And Mr. Freddy, welcome back" Pogo said, looking at Freddy who nodded.

Pogo was their monkey butler who was the one that trained Maddie and the others when they were kids. He was like the nice uncle and the siblings love him.

"Hey Pogo" Maddie said with a smile as Pogo walked towards her and she pulled him into a hug.

Pogo pulled away before him and Freddy shook hands "Is good to see you" Pogo said, looking at Maddie "Both of you" he finished, looking at Freddy as well.

"It's good to see you Pogo" Maddie said "How are you two these days?" Pogo asked "Fine" Freddy said "We've been good" Maddie said and smiled "That's great" he said "Yeah" Maddie said with a nod before looking at the portrait of Five again and she let out a sigh.

"Pogo, how long has it been since Five disappeared?" she asked "It's been 16 years, four months, and 14 days" Pogo said and Maddie looked at him "Your father insisted I keep track" he said.

"Has it only being that short. Feels like it was hundred of years ago" Maddie said, wiping a tear from her eye.

The years he had disappeared made Maddie's heart crack a little. She cared for all of her siblings and definitely were close to them but she were closest to Five and Freddy more than anyone.

"You know what's funny, I used to stay up as long as I could, waiting for him, but when I couldn't, I always used to leave the light on for him before going to bed. I was scared that he would come back, it would be late and the house would be dark and he wouldn't be able to find us, so he'd leave again. So, every night, I would make a little snack and make sure all the lights were on" Maddie said "Oh, I remember your snacks. I'm pretty sure I stepped in half those peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches" Pogo said and Maddie let out a small smile.

"It's my fault" Maddie said "Miss Maddie" Pogo said "No, is not" Freddy said, looking at her "I knew he was going to do it and should've have stopped him, I had the power. I could have stopped him, but I didn't and I have regretted since that day" Maddie said "It's not your fault" Freddy said as he put a hand on Maddie's shoulder.

"We know that nobody could stop Master Five after he's made up his mind" Pogo said.

"You know. I never moved on after he disappeared, and I'm still hoping that he will return one day while I'm also still trying to find a way to get him back" Maddie said "Your father always believed that Number Five was still out there somewhere. He never lost hope, just like you never did" Pogo said "And look where that got him" Maddie said.

Then a sound of the front door opened causing Maddie to look down the hallway to see Vanya standing by the door. Vanya was the ordinary one in the family, she wasn't put through Reginald's experiments and therefore she didn't really know what Maddie and the others went through.

"Hey Vanya" Maddie said "Hey Maddie" Vanya said and they gave each other a hug.

When they were kids, Five and Maddie would sometimes sit with Vanya as she was practiced the violin, because the two found the music comforting. They would read or just sit and listen while they were there.

And after Five disappeared, Freddy would sit together with Maddie as they were listening to Vanya playing violin.

"It's good you could come" Maddie said as they pulled away "You too" Vanya said before she looked at Freddy "Hey Fred" she said "Hey Vanny" Freddy said as he pulled her into a hug.

When they were kids, Freddy and Vanya used to be closed. Freddy wasn't allowed on all the missions and when the others was on missions, Freddy would hang out with Vanya most of the time.

Those two would either read together or talk and Freddy would always listening to Vanya playing violin or complaining over Reginald.

Vanya never really admit to anyone, but when they were kids, she was having a huge crush on Freddy, but she was to shy to say anything and she also knew that Freddy didn't felt the same. So she never say anything to anyone.

Freddy, Maddie and Five was the only ones in the family that was actually nice to Vanya and didn't shout her out or treated her as the black sheep.

And even after Five disappeared and the others grow up and moved out. Freddy and Maddie were still nice to Vanya.

---

Maddie walked upstairs and down the hallway towards her room. She walked past Diego's room, then Klaus' and then Allison's.

Maddie was one room away from hers when she stopped by the room next to hers. She turned her head to look into the room.

The room belong to Five.

Maddie smiled as she looked into the room.

Everything was left how he liked it, organized. Not a single thing was out of place or have been moved.

Maddie remember that her, Freddy, Vanya and Ben used to changed Five's bed sheets and dust his room when he disappeared. Once Ben died, Maddie kept doing it and started cleaning Ben's room too with Freddy's help. Sometimes she would just sit in their rooms and cry quietly. Freddy or Vanya was always the ones that would hear her and try to comfort her. Sometimes even Klaus and Diego would hear her cry and comfort her.

Then Freddy put a hand on her shoulder "He will come back one day, you just have to keep hoping" he said "I know" she said.

Maddie then took a deep breath before she entered her room. Since Freddy didn't had his own room in the house, he shared it with Maddie, but it didn't really matter, cause Freddy didn't really used the room as much as Maddie did. When he couldn't sleep which was almost all the time, he was most in the library reading and when Maddie was in the room, he was laying on the window bench sleeping or resting, in the library reading or sometimes hanging out with either, Klaus, Vanya, Diego or Ben before Ben's death.

"Never thought I would be in this room again" Maddie said as she looked around her room. "Either did I" Freddy said before his eyes spotted the window bench and he smiled before he walked towards it and jumped on it before laying down on his back "Something never change" Maddie said as she smiled at Freddy "No" he said and closed his eyes "This is actually one of the few things I have missed from the academy" he said.

Then Maddie's eyes spotted her piano standing over by the corner. She walked over to it and pulled off the big sheet that was covering the piano. She smiled when she saw the big brown piano standing there untouched.

Maddie sat down by the piano before she just stared at it and she spotted something above the piano keys, something that was carved in.

'F+M' with a heart around was carved into the piano. She slid her finger down the carving and smiled while she think back to that moment it was carved in.

Flashback start....

A 11 year old Maddie was sitting in her room by her piano playing while singing a song called 'Don't be afraid'

"Never mind the darkness. Never mind the storm. Never mind the blood red moon. The night will be over soon. The night will be over soon. Brush away the sorrow. Brush away the tears. Sing away your heavy heart. The night will be over soon. The night will be over soon. For every night goes quiet. And every moon grows blue. Beyond the dark comes something new. The sun will be rising soon...The sun will be rising soon. The sun will rising soon" Maddie sang.

Then she heard someone clapping behind her causing her to turn around to see Five standing by the door, leaning against it "Jesus Five, don't sneak up like that Jumpy Guy" Maddie said and Five just let out a smile "Thank you for the show" he said and walked towards her "You get better and better" he said and Maddie moved a bit to the side, so Five could sit down next to her "You know, you play just as wonderful as you sing" Five said, causing her to let out a smile.

Where did all the people go?
They got scared
When the lights went low

Five then looked at the piano keys "You know that I can teach you if you like, is not that hard when you first know how to do it" Maddie said before she took Five's right hand and put his fingers on the keys. "C, D,E and F" she said as she put four of his fingers on each key before they looked at each other.

I'll get you through it nice and slow
When the world's spinning out of control

"Will you promise me something, Maddie?" he asked "Of course" she said "That we will always be there for each other, no matter what, and that you will never change, will you promise me that?" he asked "I promise, if you also promise me something?" she asked "Anything" he said "That you will always like me, and that we will always be friends" she said "What is there not to like?" he asked causing her to let out a small laugh "But yeah, I promise that I will always like you" he said "And we will always be friends, right?" she asked.

"Why that question?" he asked as he looked at her "Well, soon we'll all be adults, moving away, live our own life, have families of your own, and will be apart for a while and we get so busy with our own life that we forget about each other" she said before looking at him "If that happens, we'll still be friends right? You won't replace me?" she asked and he chuckled "Of course we'll always be friends. No matter what happens. I promise that I will always like you and we will always be best friends, I will never replace you Maddie, or forget you. I will always be here for you. And I will always be your Jumpy Guy, your Pretty Boy, Coffee Boy, Short Pants and your Fivey. No matter what happens, or how many years will past, there will always be a Maddie and a Five. The heart and the head. Always and forever" he said "Promise?" she asked "I promise and here is my promise" he said and he took a deep breath before he pulled up a beautiful shiny golden chained necklace from his pocket.

Afraid of what they might lose
Might get scraped
Or they might get bruised

The golden necklace was a heart-shaped locket and at the top was there engraved the letters H and H with the letters A and F under it and unders those two letters was there engraving F+M.

The golden necklace was simple with a tiny heart that was place in the middle, half of the heart was blue and the other half was green and the edge around the heart was red. In the middle of the heart was there a tiny silver star. It was simple but perfect and that's what Five knew Maddie love, something simple.

"I know that your three favorites colors are blue, green and red" he said and she smiled.

You could beg them, what's the use?
That's why it's called a moment of truth, yeah

"The H and H stands for 'The Heart and the Heard and the A and F stands for 'Always and Forever' and the F+M stands for, well us. I had our initials engraved. And the star, it's because we love watching the stars together" he said and she looked at him with a smile "Wow, Five, I don't know what to say" she said "Put it on" he said and she turned so Five could put it around her neck.

Maddie could feel the cold jewelry touching her warm skin.

I'll get it if you need it
I'll search if you don't see it
You're thirsty, I'll be rain
You get hurt, I'll take your pain

"It's just something that took me some time to make, failed a few times, but I did it. Dad once caught me with the first one I bought and threw it out where after he threatened that there will be consequences if I do that again. But I kept doing it and he almost caught me again. So I had to hide it" Five said as he closed the locket.

I know you don't believe it
But I said it and I still mean it
When you heard what I told you
When you get worried, I'll be your soldier

"And after a long time of trying, I finally did it" Five said as Maddie looked at the locker "You made this?" she asked "Well, I draw the necklace first, took me a long time to get it right, I then stole some of dad's money and went up to a store and ask them to made this necklace" he explain.

"I hope you like it" he said "Like it? Are you kidding me. I love it. Thank you so much" she said "I'm glad you love it" he said.

Funny when times get hard
At the last moment when you're supposed to charge
We're always on the longest yard
Oh, they feel their feet getting cold

"It's beautiful, Five" she said "Open it" he said and she opened it to see a picture of her and Five smiling at the camera "And you can slide it to the next picture" Five said.

Hiding here hiding there
Find them underneath the stairs
People hiding everywhere
Tryna be still as a stone, but

Maddie put her finger on the little picture and slide it to the left causing the picture to slid to the left as well and another picture of her and Five was showed "You can slide through the pictures. There are more pictures of us and then of course pictures of the others as well, you can also put more pictures in if you want" Five said "It's perfect, I will never take it off. I will have it with me until the end of time" she said "See it as a sign of our strong bond and connection and on how close we are, like the heart and the heart" he said "The heart and the head" she said "It also means, you and me, together, always and forever, no matter what" he said and they looked at each other with a smile.

I'll get it if you need it
I'll search if you don't see it
You're thirsty, I'll be rain
You get hurt, I'll take your pain

"There is also something else I want to give you" he said and pulled up a small knife "I borrowed one of Diego's knives" he said "Borrowed?" she asked "Okay, I borrowed it without asking, he wouldn't notice" he said before he started carving something right above the piano keys.

I know you don't believe it
But I said it and I still mean it
When you heard what I told you
When you get worried, I'll be your soldier

Maddie smiled as she watched him carve F+M into the piano, he then carved something around it, something that look like a heart "What is that, is it a potato?" she asked and Five gave her a look "I'm really that bad?" he asked "I'm kidding, I know it's a heart" she said and he smiled as he finished the carving.

My aim is so true
I wanna show you
I'll try forever
I'm never gonna say "Surrender"

"I also have something for you" she said "You don't have to..." "Yeah I do" she said as she got up before walking over to a painting that was hanging on the wall "I had to hide it in case Dad would find it and threw it out" she said.

I'll get it if you need it
I'll search if you can't see it
You're thirsty, I'll be rain
You get hurt, I'll take your pain

"But you gave me a picture of us together last month. And I still have it on me. I always lay it under my pillow when I'm going to sleep and the first thing I do in the morning is putting it in my inner pocket, so I always have it on me" he said "Well, that picture is not enough" she said before moving the painting a bit forward, taking her hand behind it and pulled out a small present before moving the painting back.

I know you don't believe it (I know)
But I said it and I still mean it
When you heard what I told you
When you get worried, I'll be your soldier

She then walked back to sit next to Five "There you go" she said before she gave him the small white present.

"My plan was to give it to you on our birthday, but since you have giving me something, I think I better give you this" she said.

It's such a beautiful night to make a change in our lives
East Anglian sky, empty bottle of wine
I got you by my side, talkin' 'bout love and life
Oh, how lucky am I when I look in your eyes

He opened the present and saw a wrist watch.

What a wonderful way to spend a moment or two
To be lyin' awake and be here talkin' to you
I got somethin' to say, I know what I gotta do
To be makin' a change, now the moment of truth

The watch was an aluminum bezel 16610 Submariner on a rubber strap.

The watch's case was silver. The dial was black. The band of the watch was black and the hour and minute hands of the watch were white.

"I was out for a walk one day and I saw this in a Store Window and I think it would look perfect on you" she said and he looked at her "Thanks" he said and she smiled.

Why am I feelin' so nervous when
Things are goin' so perfect? And
But I know that it's worth it to
Spend forever with you

He picked up the watch and put it around his left wrist "This is the best gift I have ever gotten. And I will never take it off" he said "But what if Dad sees it and forces you to take it off?" she asked "I will make sure that my sleeves will cover it. I will never take it off, no matter what, the only way this watch will come off, is if someone chop my arm off" he said and they both chuckled.

And so I count to three
And get on one knee
And I ask you
Darlin', honestly

"I know that it as not as good as your gift" she said "For me it is. I love this and also as long as your heart is beating and you are breathing, that is enough for me" he said causing her to smile before she rested her head on his shoulder "Five, I promise you, that I will always be there for you, no matter what" she said and he smiled "And I promise you Maddie, that no matter what happens, I will always like you, we will always be friends and I will always be able to find my way back to you" he said causing her to smile "We will always be able to find a way back to each other, no matter what" she said and he smiled as he rested his head on top of hers.

I've waited all this time
Just to make it right
So I'll ask you (tonight)
Will you marry me?
Just say yes
One word, one love
One life

Five felt like he could be himself with Maddie, he could tell her everything and she would never judge him. He could act soft and kind with her and she wouldn't tease him or make fun of him.

He feel like he could tell her everything. 

But there was one thing he couldn't tell her, no matter how much he practiced in front of the mirror in his bedroom, he could never tell her, never had the courage to tell her the most important thing he wanted to tell.

How much he really love her and what she mean to him.

Flashback end...

"You still have a talent for that" a voice said from behind her, causing her to opened her eyes and she turned to see her brother Diego standing by the door "I heard you playing on the way to father's bedroom" he said "Diego" she said with a smile as she got up and ran towards him "Hey sis" he said with a smile as they wrapped their arms around each other.

"I have not seen you for a long time. What have you been doing Batman?" she asked "Sorry, I got busy. And you now that I don't like you calling me that" Diego said as he pulled away "But you are a kind of Batman, you are dress in black, fighting crime in the dark, wearing a black mask, just like Batman" she said and Diego rolled his eyes "I have missed you" he said "I have missed you too" she said and hugged him again "And you know how much I'm training" Diego said "I know, but remember not to overexert yourself" she said.

Maddie knew that after Five disappeared and Ben died. Diego trained harder than ever because he was determined not to let any of his other siblings get hurt. Sometimes him and Freddy would train together.

"Do you still have those two knives that I gave you" he asked as they pulled away and Maddie nodded as she lifted a little piece of her shirt to revealed two knives by her belt "I always have them on me" she said "That is good, I just want you to have something that can protect you, when you need it" he said.

Then Freddy walked over to them "Hey Diego" he said and Diego looked at him with a smile "Hey, little knight" he said and they gave each other a quick hug before they pulled away.

"Well, I better find Luther, see what he is up to again" Diego said "He is in father's bedroom probably already searching the crime scene" Maddie said "He probably don't think is a heart attack" Diego said "Five dollars on that he think that one of us killed Dad" Maddie said "You're on" Diego said.

"I will go see if Klaus or Allison had arrived" Maddie said before she walked past Diego and down the hallway "It's good to see you, Maddie!" Diego shouted after her "You too!" she shouted back before she turned around the corner, with Freddy behind her.

Maddie came to a door before she slid it opened to revealed her father's office.

Flashback start...

The kids' mom Grace knocked on a door before she entered Reginald Hargreeves' office, he was sitting by his desk, writing something down.

"The children are ready for bed, sir. They wanted to say goodnight" Grace said with a smile before she walked over to the kids that was standing by the door all wearing their pajamas. Maddie was standing next to Five as they were all looking at their dad smiling while waiting for him to say goodnight to them.

But Reginald didn't even looked up from his paper. It was like he didn't even noticed them standing there.

All the kids' face fall "Okay!" their mom said turning to face them "Time for bed now, kids. Come along now" she said and the kids turned around to walk away but Maddie stayed "Come along now, Maddie, your father's busy" Grace said to her "He's always busy" Maddie said before she turned around and walked over to Five that was waiting for her "We knew this was going to happen" he said and put an arm around her as they walked towards their rooms.

"Goodnight Maddie" Five said "Goodnight Five, see you tomorrow" Maddie said "See you tomorrow" he said before they both went into their room.

As Maddie entered her room, Freddy who was laying on the window bench looked at her as she enter "Still nothing?" he asked "No, he didn't even look at us, I hate him" she said and lay down in her bed "Me too" Freddy said "Goodnight, Fred" she said "Goodnight, Maddie" Freddy said and Maddie closed her eyes.

Flashback ends...

"Where's the cash, Dad?" Maddie heard Klaus's voice as she also heard the noise of drawers clattering.

Maddie smiled as she walked towards the desk where Klaus was behind going through their Dad's things.

"Where's the cash?" he asked himself "Klaus? What are you doing in here?" Maddie asked.

Klaus' head popped out from under the desk and he looked up to see his beloved sister Maddie and his brother Freddy, looking at him.

"Oh! Maddie!" he said with a happy voice and he almost jumped up on his feet before he gave her a big hug "It's so good to see you" he said while hugging her tighter and Maddie felt like she almost couldn't breath "It's good to see you too, Klaus, but I can't breath" she said "Oh, sorry" Klaus said and released the hug a bit "I have missed you" she said "I have missed you too, so much" he said before he pulled away and he looked at Freddy "And Freddy" he said before he pulled Freddy into a tight hug "It's so good to see you" he said "Is good to see you too, Klaus" Freddy said as he pulled away "Look at you, you are a man now" Klaus said and gave Freddy a fist bump on the shoulder "What are you talking about Klaus, we just saw each other few weeks ago" Freddy said.

Klaus' face was lighting up "How is my beloved little sister and my wonderful brother doing?" he asked "Are you drunk?" Freddy asked "No" Klaus said "Are you high?" Maddie asked "I don't know. Maybe" Klaus said and Maddie rolled her eyes with a smile.

Then Allison walked into the office "Allison" Maddie said with a smile "Hey Maddie" she said with a smile and they wrapped their arms around each other.

"Oh! Allison. Wow, is that you!" Klaus said smiling and stretched his arms towards her "Hey, come here" he said and wrapped his arms around her "Long time. Too long" he said and pulled away "Hey, I was hoping to see you, actually because I wanted to get your autograph. Add it to my collection!" Klaus said, looking like a idiot.

Allison grabbed Klaus' hand to look at his rehab bracelet "Just out of rehab?" she asked "No, no. No, no, no. No. I'm done with all that" Klaus said and sighed "Yeah, right, you know that Freddy and I are always the ones getting you out every time" Maddie said "Shh" Klaus said, putting a finger in front of his lips.

"I just came down here to prove to myself that the old man was really gone" Klaus said, dropping his voice to a sadder tone.

"Really" Maddie said "Yeah. And he is! He's dead. Yeah!" Klaus cheered while clapping.

"You know how I know? Because if he were alive, not one of us would be allowed to set foot in this room. He was always in here, our whole childhood plotting his next torment, right?" Klaus said, sitting down on the chair behind the desk while chuckled as he put his feet up on the desk.

"Remember how he used to look at us? That scowl? Thank Christ he's not our real father so we couldn't inherit those cold dead eyes!" Klaus said and put his fingers around his eyes, making them bulge out. He then looked over at Allison, Maddie and Freddy and let out a little screamed exclaims.

Maddie let out a small laugh while Freddy chuckled "Number Three!" Klaus said in a imitating voice of their dad.

"Get out of his chair" someone said causing them all to turned towards the voice to see Luther standing in the doorways. Maddie's eyes widened when she saw how huge Luther was, he was really huge.

"Someone have being eating healthy" Maddie said as Luther walked into the office "Oh, wow, Luther! Wow, you really, uh...You realled filled out over the years, huh?" Klaus said as he got up from the chair and flexed his muscles.

"Klaus" Luther said "Save the lecture. I was already leaving. Maddie, Freddy, let's leave" Klaus said, giving Maddie and Freddy a quick look "You two can talk amongst yourselves" Klaus said, walking around the desk as he chuckled softly and walked towards the door, but then Luther grabbed his waist.

"Drop it" Luther said "Ex-squeeze me?" Klaus asked "Do it. Now" Luther said "All right. All right" Klaus said, getting free from Luther's grip.

"It's just an advance on our inheritance!" Klaus said while going through his own pocket.

He pulled out a handful of their father's things he has taking and dropped them on the floor.

"That's all it is" Klaus said, pulling out another handful of objects before dropping them on the floor.

"No need to get your little panties in a bunch" Klaus said to Luther, mocking him before he walked over to the door.

"Come Freddy, let's go downstairs and let the love birds stay here finished their chatting" Maddie said as she walked after Klaus rolling her eyes at Luther.

"Meeting downstairs in the living room in a few minutes" Luther called out before the three walked out.

When they were out, Klaus dug through his jacket and pulled out a shiny gold square case. He looked at it before kissing it "Typical" Maddie said as she rolled her eyes and Klaus looked at her "What?" he asked "You're unbelievable, you know that, right?" Maddie said "I know" Klaus said and gave the book another kiss "You are lucky I love you" she said "I love you too, sis" he said and wrapped an arm around Maddie's shoulder before he kissed her on the side of her head.

"Every act of kindness will be returned to you, one way or another"
