“ Daddy? “
“ Yeah? “
“ Do you miss Papa? “
“ Everyday, sweetie. “
Pump sets up the fireworks and picks up his daughter. They didn’t wanna be too close or they could get themselves into trouble. The fireworks shot up in the air and different colors lit up the night sky.
The five year old was amazed at the pretty colors while Pump just frowned a bit…
This was his first Independence Day without Skid…

Vamp looks at the object in her hand…
It was a golden ankh… so beautiful indeed…
She puts the necklace back in the small box and puts it in a bigger cardboard box. Her hand then felt something else…
The pre teen pulls out a big empty soda bottle, but it was surprisingly clean-
“ What are you looking at? “
Vamp immediately looks behind her “ U-Uh… why is a soda bottle in one of the cardboard boxes? “. Pump takes a closer look “ I didn’t notice that I put that in the wrong box. “
“ Did you and papa do something with this? “
“ Your papa put some mints in that bottle and soda got all over us. “
“ You guys were caught right? “
“ Yep… I was mad at him for it… “
Damn…
The father went over to another box and looked through it. There seems to be a lot of stuff from back then. Vamp sighs and asks “ I don’t know if this is weird to ask, but… are you gonna start dating again? “.
…
… Pump then lay down on the bed and sigh “ Though I’ve been thinking about having dating again, but that’s most likely not gonna happen. “…
“ Most likely no? I really don’t know since I really love your papa. “
The daughter just nodded “ Hm… do you have any other childhood stuff? “. Pump looked in the box…
He sees a lighter…
A picture of Moloch possessing the spooky boys and the Happy Fella doll… something that Skid drew…
Two pansexual flags…
He then takes some other stuff out and manages to get another picture out…
“ I seriously need a folder for the pictures. “. The man shows Vamp the picture. The preteen then asked “ What’s that? “. Pump chuckled and replied “ This is Eyes. He’s like this big alien looking thing me and your papa knew back then. “.
He then continued “ He was also apparently friendly to us… I don’t know if he’ll be available one day. Eyes is a busy guy… “. She just nodded…
Vamp then says “ Maybe it’s possible to visit him someday… maybe just not right now. “.
…
Pump just smiled “ Yeah… you know what he always told me? “
“ Hm? “
“ Always look at the stars. I guess it’s a way of him watching us… “
His daughter just looks out the window…
Maybe someone is watching them…
Perhaps from the stars…
…
Who knows for sure…
