Clara looked at Terra concerned. "Oh no, are you afraid if you go to sleep one night you might wake up even older? That you be terrible! You're so beautiful! And vibrant! Is there anything I can do to help?" She asked giving the slightly older woman a side-hug. Gavin perked up and walked back over to the circle with his coffee, awkwardly avoiding eye contact with Lexa though he wasn't entirely sure the girl could see his facial expressions without her glasses.
"Sooo Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift are old ladies now? And Ari has senile dementia? That's very interesting. Are their any pictures of them at their new ages online yet? Any word if they are currently seeing anyone?" He asked slipping that last question in nonchalantly.
As he was peaking over Monique's shoulder at her phone to see pics of aged celebrities a young man came running down the stairs."Polly? Polly you down here?" He called as he entered the church basement with youthful energy.
The room all turned to look at him surprised. He looked a bit weirded out to have a room full of mostly old women suddenly look at him like they had seen a ghost.
"Uh hey.... have you guys seen my girlfriend Pauline? She uh volunteers here on the weekend. I'm uh, dropping something off for her and her car is in the parking lot soooo..." He explained feeling really uncomfortable at the stares he was getting as he held up a plastic bag with a teen girls bikini inside.Clara turned to Paula. "You didn't tell us you had a BOYFRIEND!?" She exclaimed suddenly feeling enraged at Calum again.Gavin bit his lip and fist bumped subtly thinking that this was going to prove the point he was trying to make."Uh... what?" The young man, Joshua asked looking from the 32 year old who spoke and the incredibly old white-haired lady sitting in a housecoat giving him an intense look. He was really confused and a little freaked out.

Heart racing, Paula lowers her head. Very, very embarrassed.
Joshua use to be her boyfriend, he was even her first time! In fact, had Calum not interfered, they would've eventually married after college.
It was like a memory come to life!
She was so fond of the young man, so attracted, so very much in love!
And you know what's worse? Like, super messed up? Joshua's best friend is Paula's Great Grandson!
It's super weird now, Joshua is the same age as her little Kevin. Who diapers she use to change, baths in the sink, and always visits on the holidays.
"Uh..." Paula groans. "Hi... Josh."

The young man looked terrified. "Um... how do you know my name?" He asked looking at the impossibly wrinkled old woman. She looked a lot like Polly's grandmother, who he had seen in pictures... but she was dead. "Are you uh Pauline's great-aunt or something?" He asked walking over to her. His heart was beating, this old woman was making him feel really weird in more ways than one and he really hope she was Pauline's great aunt.

"Welp, this is getting pretty trippy." Sunny hoists her large body up from her chair, grunting loudly.
"This was like really fun, gals." Sunny waves.
As Sunshine headed for the door, calling up Calum to pick her up, Paula stared at Joshua, unsure what to say.
Maybe, Clara was right. You can't just keep the people you care about in the dark.
Hesitant, Paula musters...
"I'm Polly... Hello, Joshua. It's... it's been a long time."

Joshua freezes and stares wide-eyed at the women who claimed to be his girlfriend and was now old enough to be his great-grandmother. "Polly... H-how? I just saw you! You were my age! I mean... I heard about the age wave in California... and the thing that happened in that Chicago suburb but... it happened here too? You were literally JUST at my house and you were young!" He said, his eyes scanning every wrinkle and sag on Paula's body, his fist clenching the bag he brought.
"See!" Gavin says knowing that this was too real for Paula to just chalk up to 'her old life'. Clara elbows her, or it might have been Lexa or maybe both as he receives several shushes as the group waits to see what will happen between Paula and her 18 year old boyfriend.

Lexa leans over to Monique, eyes transfixed on the young man and his geriatric girlfriend—or is it ex-girlfriend after that many decades?
”So...who is she again?”
“I’ll catch you up after.” Monique says, stealthily holding up her phone in her lap.
“Are...are you videoing this?”
“It’s romantic. Don’t judge me”

**TERRA: “Oh I’m not so worried about it happening, Clara. It’s just a rumor! And even if it does happen, I might as well enjoy it all as it goes.” Terra laughs and side hugs Clara back. She smells wonderful and looks even better up close. She can see the faint lines that had formed after her aging and smiles at the signs of age. Clara was a cutie for sure.**

Had Calum not sent Paula back in time, she would've eventually married Joshua.
Cal would tell you that himself, if present.
They would've married after college, had three children, and lived happily in a suburban community in Jersey till the day they died.
They had been next door neighbors since she was four and he was six. They walked to school, together, every day. He was also her first of many.
Firsy kiss, first heart flutter, first...
Paula takes a deep breath. This was all so strange.
"I... I'm Kevin's Great Grandmother. Did you know that?" Paula sighs. "I see photos of you two all the time. Basketball, School Trips, Prom..."
Paula lowers her head, thinking about that beautiful violet dress she wore for that dance.
"I just... it's been so long, Joshua." Paula smiles. "It's so nice to see you again."

"What do you mean it's been so long? You just snuck out of my bedroom this morning! And how can you be Kevin's great-grandmother!? Polly is younger than he is! I mean YOU you're younger than he is. I took YOU to prom, you, me, Kevin and Lindsey! What are you saying that you went on a double date with your great grandson and then he brought you pictures of it afterward? How is that even possible!?" Joshua asked now getting up close to her to kneel down in front of her and get a good look at the old woman claiming to be his girlfriend.

“This’ll never work. She’s old enough to be his grandmother. Maybe even great grandmother!” Lexa whispers.
“Age doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a number!” Monique hisses back.
Lexa frowns, patting her pockets in search of her glasses to get a better look. “It’s a combination of several numbers actually. Cholesterol, BMI, bone density— her blood pressure alone probably means even an aggressive make out session could knock her out—“
“Oh my god, can you stop doctor-ing for more than two seconds?”

"Age wasn't a number a few minutes ago in the supply closet..." Gavin leans over to whisper in Lexa's ear and then hands her his glasses since he wears them more to appear studious.
"I think this is beautiful! Even after she's been zapped through time her ONE TRUE LOVE shows up. It's like - like - destiny!" Clara says holding her hand to her heart.

**TERRA: “I’m with Clara on this one, I think it’s very sweet.” Terra beams at the confused couple.**

“See? THAT’S what I’m saying!” Monique nods pointing to Clara. “She gets it”
Lexa frowns, realizing Gavin has snuck up next to her. “I’m surprised you’re not over there asking her for her phone number,” she whispers back. “Or won’t the retirement home give it to you?”
She takes a look at his specs. “Are...are these even real glasses?”

You're the one getting so hung up on May/December romances." Gavin pointed out haughtily and then leaned over to Monique. "But seriously, were you able to find any pictures or relationship info on Elderly Ariana Grande?"

**TERRA: “I’m with Clara on this one, I think it’s very sweet.” Terra beams at the confused couple.** Clara tucked in next to Terra and whispered as they watched what was going on with Paula and Josh. "I'm sorry about that guy that dumped you because of your progression. That was a total dick move. My boyfriend got all weird about my aging as well. What's wrong with guys? Can't they see that we're young and beautiful on the inside? It doesn't matter how many wrinkles or gray hairs we have, we're still the sexy, fun loving girls that they knew before..." She said getting a little misty eyed.
