Time Meme - HB Response - Alone Again, Naturally (4 Years Later)

Okay, while the bulk of this is 4 years after the events of the most recent chapter of HB, there's a bit of background exposition for the in between first. It was neccesary to set things up so the rest will make sense... lol... As I said on the WAW one, this is just ONE POSSIBLE future for the story, it may go totally different as I write the actually story, but this is where I can currently see it in 4 years, and what began to flow out as I wrote. I started with the concept of Ryan's feelings about college and then it just kinda... exploded... I swear... lol
