"Welcome to your new home Mr. Davenport!" Donna says as her new husband Tyler carries her bridal style into the massive mansion. (The tech mogul was to high profile to change her maiden name...).
"Why, thank you Mrs. Davenport."
"Absolutely, Mr. Davenport." Dawn says as the two newlyweds share a kiss.
"We get it- you got married." Leah says annoyed as she comes through the front door carrying the luggage. "It's getting old." Leah looks around at her new home.
"Wow!" She says in awe, dropping the luggage in the process. "You got this big house-just from inventing things?"
Donna nods in agreement.
"Way to go, dad. That's a wife."
Leah turns her attention to a device near the couch.
"What the heck is that?" She goes to get a closer look. Donna rushes over to Leah.
"Huh? Oh...that is my latest creation. Davenport Industries' first, completely interactive, 3-D TV." She turns it on and a holographic image of a baseball field appears in the living room. A crack of a bat hitting a ball is heard and a baseball goes flying. Leah backs up to catch the ball and ends up hitting the wall.
"Watch the face, termite!" a voice shouts from behind.
"Dad, I think the little voice inside my head is back..." Leah says jumping at the sound of that sudden voice.
"No, this is Edie. She's my smart home system." Donna points to the screen. The attention directs to the black and white electronic on the wall.
Davenport turns to the smart-home system. "Edie, this is my new stepdaughter, Leah."
Leah smiles at the mention of her name.
Donna continues talking. "Remember, I told you Leah and Tyler are moving in today?"
"Hey welcome..." Edie says with a fake chuckle. "...everything here is mine."
Leah's smile quickly fades.
"Hey, Leah, why don't you go check out your new bedroom?"
Her smile returns. "Ok."
"Go down that hallway..." Donna points towards the long hallway at the end of the room. "...and when you see the room with the video games, and the action figures, and the 50-foot-screen TV..."
Leah was getting excited with every word that came out of her stepmother's mouth. mouth. Her smile got bigger and wider. It sounds too good to be true.
"Keep walking- that's mine." Leah seemed crushed as Davenport finished her sentence. It was too good to be true.
