Maria sat in the taxi on the way back towards the place she called her Second Home. She was now 18 years old and couldn't wait to see her old friends Sarah-Jane, Clyde and Luke again. She was still anxious about meeting Rani and Sky for the first time face to face. Maria's Father Alan had let Maria go back home for a month after booking a holiday at Maria's College. Maria would also go to visit her mum at some point. The main reason she returned was to meet her friends and the person who holds her heart Sarah-Jane.
