"Sis, what are you doing?" Vida questioned Maddy, unknown of her current feelings. Maddy couldn't respond to Vida's question as she was in tears and very emotional. She could only fear the worse between her and Nick's relationship. "Why won't he come back?" Maddy mumbled with a teary face in a depressed state of mind.
"What did you say?" Vida asked as she approached her shy little sister. "Sis, answer me!" Vida asked again as she shook her sister's shoulders, but all Maddy could think off was Nick's return. She was in a state of mind where she had to tell the truth about her love for Nick, or she had to make up a lie for her sadness. Maddy figured that as long as her tough sister and her friends were around, they might understand her and maybe try to sympathize or perhaps, help her cope with her feelings.
Maddy then turned and faced her older sister, Vida, who was in shock to see Maddy's tears of love cover the majority of her pretty face as well as her blood shot eyes that not only showed that she was emotional, but that her emotions had a purpose. "What's wrong Maddy!" Vida exclaimed. "You're crying!"
"I know sis. I know!" Maddy exclaimed back. Vida was astonished by her response. She knew deep down she was shy, but this was new to her. Vida then knew that this isn't the Maddy she knew since childhood. Vida then decided to try another approach. "Okay sis, spill it. Who's the guy?"
"Guy?" Maddy stuttered, "What guy?" "Oh drop dead sis!" Vida replied, "Like I knew it was a guy!" The reaction from Vida's response turned Maddy face into instant red. Not red like those old Goofy cartoons where Goofy replies with "Gawrsh!" But you get the idea. "You're blushing!" Vida said with passé. "Oh my god! My little sister has a crush!"
"Oh knock it off!" Maddy said as he attempted to push Vida off her space. "It's Nick." Maddy then confessed, "Ever since he arrived on Briarwood, I had this weird feeling deep inside of me, but I couldn't tell what it was. But after fighting as a team together, I began to have these "more than friendship" feelings and I think he did too. When he left for Briarwood after we defeated the Master and the Underworld for good, I thought that I would never see him again and I…well…I couldn't help…think…" Maddy stuttered and attempted to sob a tear.
"Okay, stop it. Cause you're making me cry too." Vida responded. She gave her shy little sister a big hug not because of condolence it was because her shy little sister was growing up. "Sis, do you think he'll make it past this weather?" Maddy asked Vida. "With the temperature dropping severely by the hour, I highly doubt it." Vida replied which made Maddy sad at first. Vida then thought up of something and said, "Come on, he's Nick. He's the light! He can take on anything! He'll do anything for you sis." That sign of encouragement made Maddy feel so much better. Now all she had to do was wait and hope for his safety.
