After Toni parked her motorcycle she went inside thornhill. The gothic, drowned in red mansion. That place always gave her the creeps. Every corner of the house had a negative vibe. Exept Cheryls room. Toni always found Cheryls room comforting. She never knew why. Maybe it wasn't the room, maybe it was the person whom the room belonged to who made it comfortable.

She knocked twice before she saw Cheryl in front of her wearing the same outfit she was wearing earlier. Her eyes were swollen because she had been crying.

Tonis stomach dropped at the sight. Why would she be crying? Was she the reason Cheryl was crying? Different kinds of questions were forming in her head but she didn't say any of them.

"Hey, are you okay? Toni said squeezing Cheryls arm lightly

"Yeah, I was just....thinking about this crazy situation" she said, "come in"

Toni followed Cheryl to the living room.
Memories crossing her mind as she gazed at the gothic decorations. She remembered when she came to meet Cheryl and how she 'rejected' her. She remembered Cheryl focused face while drawing her portrait without saying any word. Those days devestated her.

"Tea?" Cheryl said

"Yes please!" A smile formed on her face

Both the girls sat in silence after taking a sip.

"Wow, its just like the old times" Toni said tasting the classic taste of Cheryls tea.

"We used to drink tea everyday" a light chuckle on Cheryls voice

"God, we were such grandmas" Toni said laughing.

A moment of silence covered the room.

"This is crazy isn't it" Cheryl said looking at the table.

"What" Toni said confused " I mean.. what's crazy?"

"Everything. Us being here, the fact that we were clueless and could've gone like that our entire lives...thats just....crazy"

Toni came to realisation. She felt so comfortabe the last 10 minutes there with Cheryl that she had forgotten about everything. She felt peace, even though for a short amount of time but she felt peace.

"It is" Toni said "and whats even crazier is that here exist people that at our time didn't exist or were dead"

"Julian the doll is freaking alive" Cheryl said while she put her hand on her forehead.

"I literally remember when I threw him at the dumpsters after we found out about your mom" Toni said "and now hes totally alive, breathing, having thoughts and doing normal human things"

"We need to ask Tabitha how that happened. What about Anthony, did you get any new info abut him" Cheryl said with a concerned voice making Tonis heart melt.

"No but Fangs said that maybe we can meet him"

"What? Really? Thats great news Toni!" Chery said as she squeezed Tonis hand.

"I was just so worried Cheryl. When I first got my memories he was the only thing in my mind. If it wasn't for you I think I would've gone crazy." she paused for a bit " Thank you, Cheryl"

"Anything for you TT. Atleast we know he's safe."

Both of them took another sip of their tea.

"So what about us," Toni found the courage to say "Isn't it crazy that even in another timeline we found each other"

"Its all I've been thinking. After all we've been through we still menaged to survive"

"I...talked to Fangs," she paused " he really surprised me. For the first time he was calm while talking about you."
