You had been friends with Cherry, Joe, and Adam when you’d been in high school. When the group had its falling out, you’d had to move on in life as well.

You had moved out of town for college, and often stayed out of town after graduation. After a while, you’d begrudgingly come back to your home town. You’d been meant to visit family, but you’d caught wind of “S”.

Sure, you were a bit rusty after avoiding the city and skateboarding, but it was just one of those things that you never quite forget. You’d gone to “S” tonight after convincing some guy from a skating shop to give you a pass.

It all seemed normal and fine till you saw your former friends. Adam was being… well, Adam. Cherry and Joe were bickering like an old married couple. Cherry didn’t have his piercings anymore, and he looked more serious. Everyone had grown up, including you.

Eventually, the next race was announced and several people got on the track, including Cherry.
