When all is Said and Done

                                    

                                          
She flipped her long hair back as she tapped her tan flat shoe on the ground. Her glasses, what she called library glasses, hung around her neck in a bead chain. She relaxed her arm on the head of the bench; her forearm still had that lightning scar, though now it looked more like a cool tattoo than a scar. She wore a loose soft pink blouse with a tan khaki skirt as summer was slowly waning but work never stopped. Though warm, the yellow headband in her night-black hair didn't raise the temperature on her head. She was quietly looking at a blueprint paper when-
                          
"BOO!" shouted a 28-year-old man behind her. She didn't flinch. "Aw, I didn't scare you?"
                          
"No, silly," She smirked as he sat down on the bench. "Where are the kids?"
                          
"They're with your dad. I thought it would be nice to get some alone time together," The blonde smirked as he slid his arm around her shoulders. He still had that purple-dyed diamond in his blond hair, but he wore it down in a low-hanging ponytail. The woman rolled her eyes and pushed his arm off of him. "Aww."
                          
"You're so childish," She muttered. The man held up his ring finger that had a silver banded ring on it.
                          
"Then what is this?" He boasted. The 27-year-old woman smiled.
                          
"The sign that I'm a crazy idiot."
                          
"HEY!"
                          
"Haha, I'm kidding," The woman chuckled and sighed. "I didn't think ten years would make such a difference. I mean, I can't believe how tall Milly and Tamiya are."
                          
"That's what happens when you grow up," the man shrugged. "But where are the others? I thought they said they would be here."
                          
Sissi rolled her eyes. "The School Reunion just started and the gym was practically empty. Give them some time. You weren't always on time when you were needed."
                          
"Like when?"
                          
"Shall we take a walk to the factory," She smirked.
                          
"Ok, ok," The blonde man nervously laughed. "Do you think I look good? You know I have to impress the girls that dumped me."
                          
"Odd, they dumped you because you were a player," The woman smirked, raising her eyebrow.
                          
"I was not."
                          
"Really?"
                          
"Okay, maybe a little, but... you know what, I'm just going to shut up," Odd muttered. The woman's smirk grew. "Hey, Sissi."
                          
"Hmm?"
                          
"Do you think that Sam and William are going to come?"
                          
Sissi glanced at him through the corner of her eye. "I would hope so."
                          
"I was just wondering if you were okay with it since-"
                          
"Odd, that was so long ago," Sissi laughed. "We would still be friends even if you didn't choose me."
                          
"Really?"
                          
"Of course." Just then, she noticed a tall brown-haired man next to a beautiful Japanese woman. Sissi smiled and stood up from the bench. "There you two are. We were wondering when you would get here."
                          
"Sorry, I got a little lost," Ulrich said, rubbing the back of his head. He had a dark green dress shirt with the collar unbuttoned while Yumi wore a black leather jacket that hid a small white shirt underneath with black jeans. Her hair was still short around her neck, but she smiled widely and wrapped her arms around Sissi.
                          
"It's so good to see you, again. Ten years was waaay too long," Yumi smiled.
                          
"I know," Sissi smirked, raising her eyebrow, "I had to call you several times to just get you here."
