"Is this all right, Roxanne?" Max asked.

"Good job, Max," Roxanne said. "I couldn't have done it better myself. And just ten minutes before she gets here."
Max, Roxanne and Jimmy were in Gary's penthouse. It was the very same one that Roxanne and her dad did on her first week in Dallas. But because she had two helpers, Max and Jimmy, cleaning the penthouse for a real estate agent's visit only took three days instead of a whole week like the last time she did nearly six years ago.

"There's something I got to ask you," Max said, while they were waiting for the estate agent to arrive. "But I won't make you talk about it if you don't want to."

"Go ahead, Max."

"Why didn't you tell me about your dead twin sister?" Max asked. "Does anyone else know about it? Like Stacey, for instance?"

"No, not even her," Roxanne said. "I only knew when my dad told me when he was on his hospital bed before he died a couple of years ago. He told me that I had a twin sister called Emma and she died in a car when we were three years old. This was the same car crash my mother died in. He didn't tell me I have a dead twin because he thought not knowing would help me during my life. I'm not sure which upsets me more the fact that Emma died or the fact that my father kept it from me all my life. I've tried my hardest not to let it get to me, but I can't."

Max knew that she might never could get over these issues at all in his life or it would take a long time if she ever would. He only hoped he could be the one to support her if they were going to get back into a relationship just like the one they had in Spoonerville nearly six years ago.

"I don't have any more secrets hiding from you, Max," Roxanne said. "I promise."

Then the doorbell rang. Max went to open the door.

"Max!"

"Hi, Mrs. P," Max greeted. "How are you doing?"

Max offered his former neighbour Peg Pete a handshake, but she wrapped her arms around him instead.

"Oh, I feel better for seeing you, dear," Peg cried happily. "Boy, it's been so long!"

"Yeah, it sure has," Max said.

Peg did shake hands with Roxanne and Jimmy after Max introduced her to them.

Like Lisa, Peg congratulated Max after calling on Goofy's mobile phone the night on the day he beat Jake at court. After thanking her, Max requested a meeting because he and Roxanne had so many properties to get rid and they needed some advice. Peg's real estate business had grew and became more successful since she left Pete and moved to L.A. It reached properties of all kinds from Los Angeles to Dallas. On that night, Max requested someone from her business to come and have a look at Gary's penthouse. Max was surprised that Peg herself decided to come and have a look herself.

After they showed Peg the penthouse from top to bottom, she was impressed with how clean and tidy it looked and she was willing to take the place of their hands. She got out a contract saying that the penthouse was for Peg to sell or rent and, whether it be sold or rented to, however much money it would make would go into Jimmy's trust fund. Roxanne signed the contract on Jimmy's belief.

Then Max and Roxanne show her pictures of the other properties Jake used to own which was now in Jimmy's name. There was the big mansion that Jake, Jimmy and Roxanne lived in and there were plenty more houses and apartments they didn't know what to do with.

"Truth be told, Mrs. P, we haven't been to them to tidy them up," Max said. "But if you are interested, we'll gladly do them and –"

"Oh, don't worry about that, sweetie," Peg said. "I'll gladly take them off your hands, my staff will take care of them for the buyers and, like this penthouse whether who next lives in them buys it or pays rent to it, I promise the money goes into Jimmy's trust fund."

"Thanks, Mrs. P," Max said.

"Thank you, Mrs. Pete," Roxanne said.

"Oh, just call me Peg, the both of you. Now, is there any else I can for you three sweet bun-buns?"

"There is actually, Peg," Max said, calling her by her first name for the first time in his life. "Roxanne and I need your help to buying houses in Forksville."

"Houses?" Peg was confused. "Not a house."

"Yeah, it's very complicated," Max said. "This piece of paper should explain."

Peg took the paper and read it. It first said it wasn't anything to do with the houses in Forksville that she was trying to sell and they didn't have any issue with the prices. They looked good and they could afford it. It was more about his feelings about Roxanne. He was scared of moving in with Roxanne because he couldn't get out of his head that he would do something stupid and unforgiveable and she would never even want to be friends with him or keep in contact with him ever again if he moved in with her. He had always loved her since he first laid eyes on her on the first day of high school and ever since he spent time with her and knew more about her he felt happier and more special. He knew that when she moved to Dallas it wasn't her choice, but he was worried if he might do something that would make her choose to leave. And ever since she had to leave her, he had tried to be in a few more relationships, but they failed and didn't last as long as he had with her, so he didn't have confidence to try being in a relationship again, even though he didn't want to lose her ever again.

"And I have a paper as well if you don't mind, Peg," Roxanne said.

Peg took her paper and read it. It said quite the same. She loved him from the moment when she helped him after he fell at school on the last school day before summer vacation of 1995. Every time she spent time with him made her happier and more confident. She was worried that because she didn't have a family anymore, apart from Jimmy, if she went back to Max, if she would rely on him and take unfair advantage of him.

"Oh, honey buns," Peg said, after she finished reading the letter. "I like the feelings you're all feeling right now. It shows that you care for each other and you're not rushing into blind love. My suggestion would be to go into a house together and see if this relationship you both want works out. That's the best way to find. The best-case scenario is that you guys connect more and your relationship will grow. The worst-case scenario is that you guys break up, but you will still be friends with each other. And special friends."

Then her phone rang. "It's Pistol. Excuse me a moment, please, dears. Here is a house I recommend if you want to try my suggestion." She gave them a brochure of a house before she got up and answered the phone. "Hello, Pistol, dear?" Then she dropped her sweet face and brought on her wrathful one. "What? You did what again, Pistol? If I told you once, I told you a thousand times, be more careful with my dresses! It wasn't my very best one, was it? IT WAS?! That does not make this situation any better and that is no excuse for what you did! You are in big trouble when I get back home, young lady! DO YOU HEAR ME? BIG TROUBLE!"

She turned her phone and she faced Max, Roxanne and Jimmy with her happy face. "Sorry about that, dears. Pistol had borrowed my very best and expensive dress to try to impress a boy only for it to get grubby food all over it. When will she ever learn?" Then she realised that she went off topic. "So, have you guys made your mind?"
"We have, Peg," Max said.

"We would like to look at this house whenever it's possible," Roxanne said. "Together, like you suggested."

It was the one Peg recommended. "Oh, goody! Well, we'll get down to business at once. And thanks for all of these properties you've given me." Peg collected her paperwork and put it in her bag.

"No problem, Peg," Max said.

"And thank you for the advice, Peg," Roxanne said. "Not just the property, but for the relationship advice as well."

"No problem, dears."

Roxanne gave Peg the key to the penthouse while Max went to get Jimmy and they all walked out, feeling that they turned a Morton penthouse into a Peg one.
