Daddy Sol's Stories of his Prime

"Dad~! I'm back!"
"Dad...? DAD??"
Austin Olympia threw his bag onto the floor near the front door, kicking the door shut behind him. He hurriedly took off his sneakers, and shoved them into the shoe rack beside him. He walked down his slightly narrow hallway, which led into the living room. Once he got to the living room, which contained a 7-man rectangular couch and a flat screen T.V on the opposite wall. He saw his dad, with a bunch of his high school friends. They were sitting around the couch and lounging around, listening to Mr Olympia speak:
"... and once he was done with the toast, he fell asleep. His face went straight into the toast!"
All of Austin's friends laughed, and turned around as he walked in.
"Oh Dad, really?"
"Oh hello Austin, welcome back, I was just telling your friends about your adventures with the toaster, a fork, and some bad electricity!" his Dad beamed at him with his slightly lop-sided smile. "Your friends seem to thoroughly enjoy my stories of your mishaps around the house as a baby!"
The twins, Ella and Ethan giggled.
Ethan held up a picture album and pointed at a specific picture, " I really like the one where you stuck a car key into the wall socket!"
Ella burst into laugher, and Austin's three other friends tried hard not to laugh as they sat with their backs turned to him, clasping their hand on their mouths. Finally, after the jovial rounds of laughter had ceased from Mr Olympia, Ethan and Ella, Jackson turned around, still trying hard not to smirk as he looked at Austin.
"Hey man, sup?" Indicating with his fist.
Austin walked up and gave Jackson, his long time best friend, a fist-bump.
"At least someone around here has a bit of respect for me." Austin growled.
"Yeah man... respect... I especially respect the fact that you somehow managed to crawl up into the pantry... AND THEN FELL OFF IT!" Jackson fell off the couch, rolling around with laughter. As much as Austin hated where this was all going, he let himself smile. Being around his friends had that effect on him.
"Hey, how'd you guys get here so quick anyway?" Austin questioned.
Rebecca answered "Well, Austin, you do realise that there is an EARLIER bus? We took that one, since we don't lounge around after school, talking to this or that person"
Austin stared at her as she spoke. He and Rebecca had dated once, back in year seven, but after an unfortunate sailing accident, they had broken up. After all these years though, Austin still had a crush on the girl, with her chocolate brown curls that fell around in locks around her upper back, and her tall slim figure. His mind wandered back to the first time they had kissed...
"Austin?"
"AUSTIN!" Tireme shouted. (BTW, it's pronounced ty-REEM) Tireme waved a hand in Austin's face and slapped a few times lightly. "Dude, stop staring at your ex, it's making her uncomfortable."
Austin snapped back into reality and blushed a deep scarlet red. Suddenly Austin founds his shoes of utmost importance and proceeded to look at his shoes intently, as Rebecca looked out the window, pretending to enjoy the view, obviously embarrassed as well as her cheeks had gone a rosy red. A moment of awkward silence passed between the whole group, like a breeze fluttering around them. Mr Olympia broke the silence by saying "So... do you guys want to hear another one of my stories or what?"
"Oh yes please sir!" said Ella, faking enthusiasm. "Is it another one of your stories of your past?"
"Oh.. Well... you see..." Austin's dad faltered. "How did you know? I was finally planning on a real account of what happened."
Everyone in the room immediately focused their full attention on Mr Olympia. Austin's dad had disappeared mysteriously into his teenage years, 16 to be more exact, and noone knew where he had gone. 4 years later, he reappeared passed on the beach of Greenland, half frozen to death, and gripping a peculiar scythe. That scythe now hung on the wall of their basement. Mr Olympia never told of what had happened between those times, not even to Austin, his son. All he had ever said about the matter was "You wouldn't believe it". Only Delilah seemed to know about the matter, and she never spoke of it as well. After being rescued from the beach of Greenland, Mr Olympia had started a new life in Canberra, Australia. He wrote a new best seller, called 'The Hunter and the Hunted" and was even said to be the 'Next Rick Riordan'. Ever since Austin found out about his father's disappearance, he had always pestered his dad about it. His dad had never told him, and now that his dad was willing to reveal it, Austin was very interested.
"Well... do you know much, or believe in parallel univi? Any of you?"
"Well, sir, firstly, it's universes, and secondly, yes I do believe that there could be parallel universes" Rebecca stated with confidence.
"If there can be boxes that process information at the speed of light, then I think it's a possibility that there might be parallel universes."
Ethan countered and said "Yeah, but, we don't, and can't actually see them, so I vote no."
Jackson took Rebecca's side and said "Well, I mean, anything's possible right? We don't know everything about the world."
"Alright alright. Let's not start a debate here and now." My Olympia interjected. "Whether you believe in parallel universes or not will affect whether you believe in my story."
"You mean... you were in... an actual parallel universe?" Austin questioned.
"I'll get there Austin" Mr Olympia winked. "But first, how it happened... Get comfortable boys and girls, it's a looooong story this."
