Grace got of Riley's car and started walking to the door. "Thanks for the ride." She said.
"No problem and thanks for the English help." Riley said and started to back out of the driveway.
Grace started to head in side when she saw her father and Zoe drive up.
She walked over to the car.
Zoe got out quickly and started heading to the door. Grace stopped her. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"She's trying to get in before I have a chance to talk to you mother." Jake said.
"Why are you even dropping her?" Grace asked.
"Because she skipped school today and I was bring her home." Jake said.
"How did she… Oh you've got to be kidding me. You helped her." Grace said.
"Don't act so shocked. I'm just doing what you did with Eli yesterday." Zoe said with a smile.
"You and Eli did what yesterday?" Jake asked.
Grace gave Zoe a mean look. "Dad, how about you just go I'll talk to mom." She said.
"Ok, I'm going to go. Tell your mother, I'm sorry." Jake said as he got in the car and drove away.
Grace turned to Zoe. "Ok, what was that all about?"
"Nothing really." Zoe said and started to head inside.
Grace stopped her. "I don't think so…"
Grace and Zoe turned around to see Eli and Jessie drive up.
Eli got out. "Oh I remember that." He said laughing.
Jessie got out and when she realized Grace and Zoe were there, she stopped smiling. "Eli, let's go in." She said and started heading in.
Grace walked over to Eli. "What's wrong with her?"
"I'll tell you later." He said as they all headed in.
Judy was sitting next to Karen's bed reading a book.
Karen woke up and looked around when she saw Judy she smiled. "Hey Judy."
"Hey, you're awake. I was wondering when you were going to open your eyes." She said with a smile putting the book down.
"Has Jessie or Eli been by?" Karen asked.
"Um… no they haven't." Judy said thinking about the conversation she had with Lily.
"Why?" Karen asked worried.
"Well they've probably been busy with school and work." Judy said.
"Ok, what's going on Judy?" Karen asked.
"Nothing."
"I can tell you're keeping something from me and I want to know what it is." Karen said.
"You know what, Karen I have to go." Judy said getting up.
"Judy, please tell me…"
"I'll come see you tomorrow." Judy said walking out the door.
Rick and Lily were sitting at the table, when the kids walked in.
As soon as Rick saw Jessie, he went over and hugged her. "I'm so glad you're all right."
"I'm fine dad. I'm just tired." She said as she started to head up to her room.
"I don't think so. Sit." He said.
She moaned and sat down at the table.
"The same goes for you." Lily said to Zoe.
Grace and Eli smiled and headed into the living room.
"Wait you two need to hear this too." Rick said.
Eli and Grace moaned. "We were so close." Eli said with a smile.
They came in and sat down at the table.
Lily looked at Rick and he nodded. "First off, I'm glad to that each one of you are safe. But…"
"We need to sat some ground rules here." Rick said.
"Exactly, in the past two days each and everyone one of you has run off with out our permission or consent." Lily said.
"And even though we understand why, you can't just do that." Rick said.
"Eli and I already know, we had this conversation last night. So can't we go?" Grace said getting up.
"No, because you two may not realize it but what you do is being copied." Lily said pointing to Zoe and Jessie.
"Oh no I don't think so I'm not being held responsible for what ever they did." Grace said.
"Why not?" Rick said.
"Because these two both have minds of their owns and they do what ever they please." Grace said.
"I have to agree with Grace on this one. I skipped because I felt like it, not because Grace and Eli ran yesterday." Zoe said.
"See?" Grace said.
"And you?" Rick asked looking at Jessie.
"As much as I hate to ever agree with Grace and Zoe, it's the truth I skipped because I needed to relax and I couldn't do that at school." Jessie said.
"So can we go?" Grace asked.
"Fine, but one question where were you this afternoon?" Lily asked.
"I was at Riley's I called you remember." She said and started up the stairs to her room.
"Eli, you can go too." Rick said.
Eli just smiled. "It's nice."
"What's nice?" Lily said.
"Not being the one you two are lecturing." He said as he headed the garage.
Grace was sleeping peacefully when she felt some trying to wake her up.
When she opened her eyes, she was shocked to see Eli standing over her.
"What do you want?" Grace asked half-asleep.
"I need you help." He said sitting on her bed.
"What did you do this time?" She asked.
"Very funny, now will you just come with me?" He asked pleading.
"Fine, just let me get dressed." She said.
"I'll be waiting for you in my apartment." He said as he left.
"Sure what ever." She said as she got up and started to get dressed.
