Written by Fabian Nicieza, pencils and cover by Patrick Zircher.

"Why, When I Was Your Age..." Ever wonder what Cable and Deadpool were like when they were impressionable, kooky young teenagers? No? Well, you're going to find out anyway. It's a very special episode of "Blossom" -- no, wait -- a very special episode of CDP, a heartwarming romp filled with tragedy, despair and self-delusion -- and, when it's done, our bosom buddies won't look at each other the same way again. Could this be the beginning of...a beautiful friendship...? Naaaah! This stand-alone issue is an epilogue to "Enema of the State" and a prelude to "Bosom Buddies!"

Girls! And what's Cable doing during all of this...? Well, keeping an eye on Deadpool, since whoever owns the hard drive could very well own the world...
