2011
Annie has finished moving all her stuff into her new apartment. She takes a moment to admire her work. Slowly she starts to remember about Jeff’s dying kiss and the fact that this apartment was previously his. She keeps herself from tearing up as she walks into her kitchen and opens the refrigerator to take out a bottle of scotch. She opens the bottle and takes a long gulp from it. She pulls back as she starts coughing. Her phone in her pant pocket starts ringing, notifying her that she got a text message. She takes another drink from the bottle before taking her phone out. She silences her phone before putting it inside the cabinet under the kitchen sink. She walks back into the living room as she takes another drink.

Jenna King is doing chores around Annie’s apartment for the first time. She wipes the dirt from the face of the cabinet under the kitchen sink with a sponge. She opens the cabinet and sees the old cellphone inside.
“Auntie Annie, you have a cellphone in here.” She cries out.
Annie walks out to where Jenna is from her room as she looks at the cellphone.
“Oh, just get rid of it. The battery probably rotted away.” Annie said.
“Can I keep it?” Jenna asks. “I don’t have a cell and I think I can replace the battery.” She said.
Annie thinks for a moment. She smiles at Jenna. “Okay but you’re responsible for it. You have to get the phone fixed and pay for the service every month.” She said. Jenna takes the cellphone and puts it besides her on the floor.
“Okay, I can work as a student aid to get the money to pay for it. They don’t pay much but at least I have a good enough excuse being at Greendale when I don’t have class.” Jenna said.
“Why do you need an excuse to be there?” Annie asks.
“I don’t know. It feels like people are judging me for being related to Uncle Jeff. I heard he did some things that earned him a reputation.” Jenna said.
“Jenna, you don’t have to listen to what other people say about you. You are your own person and you don’t have to feel like you’re under anyone’s shadow.” Annie said.
“Thanks Auntie Annie.” Jenna said as she smiles at Annie. “Now if only I can stop everyone in my classes from telling me we’re in a relationship and maybe doing these chores won’t be that bad.” Jenna said sarcastically.
“Don’t worry about that. I know everyone think we’re a couple because I’m taking you under my wing and because of some personal stuff that happened back then.” Annie said.
“What happened back then?” Jenna asks. “The personal stuff.” She said.
Annie takes a moment to sit down on the kitchen floor next to Jenna. “Well after your uncle died, I kind of lost contact with everyone there. I need some alone time and I guess they respected that. I was depressed really. I started drinking after what happened. I was feeling alone and worthless as the world kept on moving forward.” Annie said.
“At least you got better.” Jenna said as she leans her head on Annie’s shoulder. “I’m happy that I’m under your protection. Even though you’re only a few years older than me, I don’t think of you like an older sister. You feel like my mother when she was raising me back before I met my dad. She was always independent and hardworking, even though some of the guys she brought home were obviously criminals.” Jenna said. She giggles at Annie’s worried look at her. “Don’t worry, Auntie Annie. I’m just saying you carry the positive traits of my mom.” She said.
“And you carry the traits of a daughter that I wished I had with your uncle.” Annie said. She kiss Jenna’s forehead. “Alright, finish your chores and then we can go to the store to fix that new phone of yours.” Annie said as the two get up.
“Alright, Auntie Annie.” Jenna said as she goes back to work.

Annie is busy grading papers at her desk in her office. She hears a loud noise outside her office. She sighs as she gets up and walks to the doorway of her office. She opens the door as she yells out, “Hey! I’m working here!” In front of her are a bunch of students standing on chairs and various desks. They stand frozen in fear in front of Annie. From what Annie could tell, it looks like they are playing a game of hot lava. Her attention quickly focuses on one of the students standing on a desk. “Jenna, what are you doing?” She asks.
Jenna relaxes as she replies, “Hot lava.”
“Why?” Annie asks.
“Dean Hawthorne posted on Twitter that he was hosting this game of Hot Lava today. He stated in his post that the winner would get some prize money and seeing how we need a bit more money, I decided to play.” Jenna said.
Annie thinks for a minute as she finally said, “All right. You better win and please be careful on those wheeled chairs. I don’t want you fall off one of those.”
“Yes, Auntie Annie.” Jenna said.
“Good, now why don’t you guys take your little game somewhere else?” Annie commands. The students nod in fear as they start moving their chairs and desks away from Annie’s office. Jenna waves goodbye to Annie as she leaves with the students to continue their game of hot lava. Annie sighs. “Well at least it’s better than freeze tag.” Annie said.

Annie finishes grading her papers, when she hears a knock on her office’s door. The voice of Pierce calls out from behind the door, “Annie? Are you in there?”
“Yeah. It’s open.” Annie said.
Pierce enters Annie’s office. “Ah, Annie. I need to talk to you about something.” Pierce said.
“Is this about Jenna and that hot lava game?” Annie asks.
“No but I will say that prize money is coming out of Counselor Pelton’s paycheck. He practically helped her during the entire game.” Pierce said.
“Then what do you want to talk to me about?” Annie asks.
“Well you see, I was thinking that maybe you could come over for dinner at the Hawthorne Mansion tonight. And before you think that this is for a date, I also invited the rest of the group over.” Pierce said.
Annie looks at Pierce in disbelief. “Umm, Pierce I don’t think that’s a good idea.” She said.
“Why not?” Pierce asks. He sits down on the chair set up in front of Annie’s desk. “It will be like old times again, the group back all together.” Pierce said.
“I’m sorry Pierce but I’m not going.” Annie said.
“Alright, I understand.” Pierce said as he gets up. He walks to the door before he turns to face Annie. “Oh, by the way. Jenna agreed to come tonight.” Pierce said as he leaves.
