My back hit the cement ground roughly knocking the air out of my lungs. My eyes opened back up and stared at the Fives blue time jump above me, my mind realized I was the only one here causing me to scramble up and scream into the sky.
"FIVE!?"
"VANYA!?"
"SOMEBODY!"
The blue jump disappeared leaving me in an alleyway. I turned my feet and ran as fast as I could to the street looking for help, almost getting hit a couple times. I jogged up to a lady clutching a small purse, wearing extremely bright colours.
"Excuse me miss, where are we. WHEN are we." I frantically asked
She looked at me, clearly uncomfortable and walked away with a quicker pace.
I ran around the street looking for some type of  answer, finally I got one from an old newspaper in the garbage.

January 3rd, 1963

My heart dropped, my stomach took control for a second and caused me to throw up.
"Shit..." I mumbled

{a good ol jump in time ( not because of lines though. I actually have a good reason for this one.}

"Y/N, wake up. It's time to open the shop." Melody said shaking me
My eyes opened and looked around my room trying to stay awake.
"Alright, just let me get dressed." I mumbled tiredly
"It's already 3 in the afternoon." She explained
Her explain went to empty ears as I fell back asleep. I could hear Melody sigh before a cold liquid was poured onto my face. I shot up and started shaking my head.
"Now you're awake." She said as she walked out
I rolled my eyes and got out my clothes. A white button up shirt similar to the one the academy had, then a hourglass shaped (F/C) skirt the reached the top of my ankles.
It was November 15th, of 1963. Melody was a 50 year old lady who took care of me, in return I work at her shop selling flowers. Two more months and I would have been here for an entire year, and technically I aged up a year already, Melody thinks I'm a 14 year old, if only she knew.
"Y/N are you ready." She yelled from the shop downstairs
"I'm coming." I yelled down, before turning to the mirror and fixing my hair which had grown a lot longer now.
I ran down the stairs and helped arrange the flowers in a nice pattern, swept the floor and turned on the radio.

"Now for the next song let's play an oldie but a goodie The Ink Spots 1940 song I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire."
The song began to play from the radio reminding me of the last time I saw my family. The fear of being wiped out by the worlds end. Luckily it was all over for about 60 more years.
"Hey Y/N, snap out of that daydream and start working." Melody snapped her fingered at me
I sat by the cash register helping customers with flowers, having boys ask for what time I get off work, and watching as gushy couple came in and talked about how much they loved each other.
My eyes wandered out the big window and saw some kids knock down a display causing me to groan.
"Hey Mel, I'm gonna go fix something. Could you take over for a second?" Asked her walking to the door.
I picked up the fallen flowers and tried to set them back like they were before. I ended up finding a broken white tulip on the ground, my fingered picked it up and put it into my ear bringing a small smile to my lips. Chills ran up my spine letting me know that someone was staring at me, I looked around the sidewalks only to be met with nothing. The I looked across the road...
"Five?" I asked with a very quiet tone
My feet began to move with out me telling them to do so. My slow walking eventually turned into a light jog, then a complete run. He began to run as well meeting me half way in the road, my body hit his tackling him into a hug with tears streaming down my face.
"Where have you been idiot?" I asked through my tears and gasps for air
He stayed silent and clutched his arms around my waist tighter. My relief quickly turned into anger, I let go of him and got up.
"What the hell happened? Why are we in the flipping 60's?" I asked him furiously
He got up and dusted himself off, his eyes met mine and he said one something I didn't want to hear, and something that caught me by a wave of surprise.
"I need your help, the apocalypse is happening." He explained to me quickly
My eyes grew wide and my heart began to beat faster
"AGAIN!"
