One day, Bert walked up to Nation.
"Hi Nation could I talk to you?"
He seemed a little uneasy.
"Yes, of course."
She let him lead her over to Kirk's Coffee Corner.
"Two please Kirk." Bert nodded to Kirk who began filling up two cups with hot coffee. "Thanks. Now Nation, you know Farley Flavours, the fast food King and head of DTV, don't you?"
"Er…yes…I do." She answered.
"Well he would like to buy and sponsor Dentonvale. He has taken a big interest in it. He is also starting his own show called Farley Flavours Faith Factory. The first show will be aired and recorded live in two days." He told her.
"Oh…well…of course." She had no idea what a sponsor was but she thought Cosmo would be a little angry. "Please don't tell Cosmo until I'm with him. I'm not sure how he'll react."
"Of course, of course." Bert smiled a little more relaxed. "Oh, we have a couple on Marriage Maze tomorrow. Brad and Janet Majors." Nation gasped as she recognised the name but Bert didn't seem to hear her and continued. "Brad shall be sent to Dentonvale and Ricky will put him in the terminal ward. He is quite a disturbed man and needs lots of treatment."
"Yes…we'll do the best we can."
They drank their coffee in silence and Nation was glad when Ralph came to fetch her for a rehearsal. She needed to talk to Cosmo.
She finally got her chance as they went in to dinner. Bert was having dinner with Farley so they could sign contracts, Laura and Ricky served Nation and Cosmo and usually ate earlier or after and Ralph and Macy never stayed in the giant Denton set. Nation had insisted that Laura and Ricky didn't serve them but ate with them instead. She knew how it felt to have to be servants to other people. Laura refused saying if they wanted to fit in it would be better this way. However, Nation put her foot down and told them that she would still make the dinner. Anyway, she needed to tell Laura too and she didn't mind Ricky being there as he knew almost everything about them already.
"Cosmo I have bad news. Brad and Janet Majors are on tomorrows Marriage Maze. Brad is going to be put into our care." She said gravely.
"Brad and Janet Maj – oh the Earthlings that came to Frank's castle. So they got married after everything that happened to them." Cosmo laughed.
"Cosmo, what if they recognise us?" Nation screamed.
"Yeah, they'll go to the FBI and I'm meant to be dead remember." Laura added.
"They won't recognise us. I promise you all that everything is going to be fine." Cosmo took Nation's hand from across the table. "I've already told you, nobody is going to hurt you while I'm still around and no one will take you away from me."
He kissed her hand and she relaxed trusting her brother entirely.
Ricky stepped up to Laura.
"Yeah and I'm not going to let anyone take you away and do some crazy experiments on you. I love you." He told her.
"Aaw. That's so sweet. I love you too."
She kissed him and hugged him tight.
Nation yawned and stretched.
"Time for bed I think." Cosmo smiled mischievously at her.
She raised her eyebrows at him in reply. As she started to collect the plates, Laura snatched them off her.
"That's my job remember." She smiled at her friend. She knew she was only trying to help. "Go and get some…sleep." She giggled and glanced at Nation who had already dragged her brother out of his chair. "It's going to be another one of those nights is it? Well thank God for the sound proof walls."
She rolled her eyes at Ricky as they left the room running.
