Chelsea took off running back to the room before Devon could see her. Devon jumped out of the bed to follow Raven who was leaving acting like she was upset.
Devon: Rae wait! I'm sorry come on back.

Devon: Did you find what you was looking for?
Raven jumped out of her skin.
Devon: You wanted to cuddle more like you wanted to go through my phone.
Raven: It was just there. So I thought I play a game.
Devon: There no games in my text messages.
Raven: okay fine I don't want you working with Alana.
Devon: Rae you have nothing to worry about we are just friends. I'm committed to you and are kids that's all.
Raven smiled
Raven: okay
The next morning
Devon: Kids let's go!!!

Raven: Isn't this just one big happy family reunion.
Devon: Yeah well we got go see you later.
Devon pushed all the kids out the door.
Raven: Can you believe her?
Chelsea: What was she doing here?
Raven: She wanted her and Devon to go get something to eat. I'm trying but I don't think I can be cool with them working together. And that little girl gives me bad Vibes too.
Later on that day at school
Tess: hay Nia what been up with you today. You didn't give me a ride to school. You didn't wait for me by the lockers. Nor did you talk to me today in class. You was too busy talking to Whitney. And I have to say I'm a little hurt.
Nia: Oh Tess I'm sorry
Whitney: Hay back off her. She don't have to talk to you everyday.
Tess: Yo who are you talking to?
Whitney: Girl this is not what you want!
Nia: hold it!!! I think we all can be friends.
Whitney: You and me are going to be more then friends.
Nia: what are you talking about?
Whitney: Once our parents get married will be sisters.
Nia: cute idea but the only way I'm ever going to have a sister is if my mom and dad have another baby.
Whitney: So what are you trying to say my mom can't be with your dad if she wanted to.
Nia: That's exactly what I'm saying my parents are together.
Whitney: oh yeah we'll just see how long they last. My mom said that your mom was the freak show of the school.
Nia: Take that back about my mom!
Whitney: Never and your weird just like her. I don't know why I wanted to be your friend. I'm going to find my own crew.
Whitney walked off
Tess: What is her problem seriously?
Nia: I think I see why my mom don't want Ms.Alana around.
Later on that day
Raven and Chelsea took the kids grocery shopping. Well Devon stayed back and went over some stuff for work when the door bell rings.
Devon: Let me guess y'all for got the key.
He open the door and he was shocked to find...
Devon: Alana what are you doing here?
Alana: I just wanted to talk to you. I heard are girl's got into it over something. Today at school.
Devon: Oh yeah Nia told me...She said Whitney just kind of went off and she said something about Nia's mom.
Alana: Oh yeah that part maybe some of my fault.
Devon: Look Alana I know you and Rae had your issues in school but we are grown ups now.
Alana: I totally agree
Devon: And I don't want you feeding your daughter mess about Raven.
Alana: You're absolutely right I'm sorry. It won't happen again. Speaking of Baxter where is she?
Devon: They went to the store.
Alana: oh and just left you here all by yourself.
Devon: It's cool
Alana: So if you don't mind me asking what's going on with you two.
Devon: We are working on us.
Alana: So you two are together. I don't even know why I asked. What is it about her that always had you drawn to her?
Devon: I don't know, I kind of fell in love with her the first time I saw her. But she didn't know I existed.
Alana: yes so you settled for me, but as soon as Baxter started showing you attention. You just dropped me.
Devon: oh I'm sorry about that
Alana: I mean I really didn't understand we were talking everyday. Then all of sudden I didn't hear from you no more. Next thing I know I see you meeting her at her locker, walking her to class, walking her home. Then I'll never forget the day. Me Loca and Muffy was leaving out the girl's bathroom and there y'all was hugged up kissing. I want to fight her so bad. But I said it wasn't worth it. I already knew you were in love with her.
Devon: I'm really sorry Alana I guess I never really thought about your feelings. I hope we can be friends.
Alana fighting back tears
Alana: Of course we can be friends. And I will talk to Whitney. I really do want her and Nia to be friends.
Devon: Thanks
Devon gave Alana a hug
Alana: I hope Raven knows how lucky she is.
Just then the door open
Raven: What in the cheese puffs is going on????
Daven: Rae not what it looks like.
Raven: Funny didn't know my eyes could lie. How could you after all we been through.
Raven took off to the roof. Devon started to go after her but Alana stopped him.
Alana: This is all my fault let me fix it.
Alana ran up the stairs after Raven
Alana: Baxter we need to talk
Raven: I have absolutely nothing to say to you. Oh wait yes I do you can have him. A matter of fact take him back with you. He's not sleeping in my house tonight.
Alana: Come down girl you making a big mistake. There's absolutely nothing going on with me and Devon. First of all he's too crazy about you. To ever look at any other woman. Second of all I just came out here to talk about Nia and Whitney's little fight. I want them to be friends. I don't want it to be us all over again. That's not the type of life I want for my little girl. She's just been through so much. When she likes someone she tends to come off as possessive. But you got to understand her dad walked out on us. He comes back in my life every blue moon. And this time I just wasn't going to take it. Now I'll be honest with you when I saw Devon at the news station. I thought this is God telling me that we were meant to be. But no it's you and him. I just hope we can be friends. And set a good example for our daughter's.
Raven: Wow that's not the Alana I knew.
Alana: I know girl I'm new and improved
Raven and Alana laughed
Alana: So are we good?
Raven: We are good.
The next day at school
Nia is getting her books out of her locker.
Whitney: Hi
Nia: Hi
Whitney: I'm sorry about what I said about your mom.
Nia: it's okay
Whitney: Oh and about Tess too!
It's just that I've never really had friends.
People tend to find me overbearing.
Nia: That's what people say about my mom.
Nia and Whitney laughed
Tess: what's up my crew yall ready to go grab some lunch.
Nia: You know it girl I'm starving! You coming Whitney?
Whitney: You guys mean I'm actually part of your crew.
Tess: Why not you're cool and l like your attitude.
Nia: Yeah and we could use another girl. It'll be way better then my brother and his farts.
They all laughed and walked to the lunch room
