"You need to pay closer attention, Whitney you missed the ball for the third time in a row!" T. C. screamed.
"Sorry, I'm just… forget it, I'll try harder." Whitney said as another ball came at her.
"What do you think it'll take to get him to let her take a break?" Liz asked Simone.
"Maybe we can all go after him and get him to stop?" Simone offered.
"The last time I was in a fight with your pops, I was almost killed." Chad said.
"Right, she'd like her boyfriend alive right?" Liz asked.
"Yeah, I think she would be upset if he dies." Simone said.
"Well speaking of boyfriends, Simone there's yours." Chad pointed out to the door where John was walking in.
"Is that Kay?" Simone asked mad as she got up.
"Simone?" John asked as he went over to her and hugged her.
"Why did you bring your sister here?" she asked mad.
"I thought you liked Jessica?" John asked.
"Don't ever try to joke with me right now I'm really not in the mood." Simone said annoyed.
"Is that who I think it is?" Chad asked Liz.
"Theresa and Miguel?" Liz asked shocked.
"They're you're future in laws shouldn't you be glad to see them?" Chad asked.
"In laws, no one really likes their in laws." Liz said sarcastically.
"Theresa?" Whitney asked shocked as she saw Theresa and Miguel came in.
"Theresa? Don't tell me you planed that too?" Simone asked John.
"I didn't plan any of this, I just came along for the ride." John said defensively.
"He's right, Simone. I asked Ethan to help me talk to you…" Kay said stepping
"What's going on here? Whitney, I told you, you need to practice so what is everyone doing here?" T. C. asked mad.
"I'm sorry Mr. Russell, I didn't mean to interfere with Whitney's practice, I just wanted to see my best friend. " Theresa said speaking up.
"Your best friend? Whitney I thought I told you that you couldn't hang out with her!" TC screamed.
"She's not any more." Theresa said sadly.
"Then what are you doing here?" TC asked again.
"Because I want her to be." Theresa said truthfully.
"Well she's not allowed to be friends with you anymore." TC said.
"I don't care if she's not allowed to be friends with me anymore what I care about is if she wants to be friends with me anymore." Theresa said.
"I don't know what they taught you in New York, but you seem to have forgot what it means when a parent tells a child what to do."
"Yeah I remember just fine but see the problem here is that Whitney isn't a child any more, if you haven't noticed." Theresa said.
"Did she really just say what I thought she just said?" Chad asked shocked.
"Yeah, I think she did." Liz said.
"What did you just say!" TC asked mad.
"I said that Whitney isn't a child any more which means you really can't order her around and I might add that this tennis career you have planned for her, is it really for her or is just so you can live the career you never had?" Theresa said.
"Is she stupid or something? Mr. Russell is going to kill her." Ethan said.
"No she just knows what she wants and she learned the hard way to go after it before it's gone." Kay said.
"I don't really think that that is any of your business." TC said.
"It is, or it should be someone's business. I mean have you ever noticed that Whitney does not even seem to like tennis anymore. Have you ever thought that she would like to be a normal girl for once? You know sleeping late, staying out late, hanging out with her boyfriend? Or have you become so obsessed with this tennis thing that you've forgotten to see if your daughter even likes it anymore?" Theresa said.
"Does Luis know that you talk to adults like this? I bet he won't approve." TC said.
"You know what I bet he would. He would be glad someone is finally taking up for Whitney and he'd be glad that I was brave enough to tell you what everyone else has been thinking for a long time." Theresa said proud.
"Everyone's been thinking?" TC said and then looked around at everyone who just looked at the floor. Then he looked at Whitney. "Does she speak for you too?" He asked.
"I… yeah she does." Whitney said nervously.
"Really well in that case, I'm going." TC said as he left the gym.
As soon as the door closed, Theresa sat down. "I can't believe I just did that." She said shocked.
"Me either, what happened in New York that made you so… so brave?" Whitney asked.
"I didn't really, I just… I just could not stop talking. I don't know why." She said confused.
"You were defending your best friend." Whitney said.
"You're still my best friend?" Theresa asked shocked.
"Yeah that's if you still want me to be."
"I do, really I do." Theresa said happily.
"You think we could reconcile that easily?" Kay asked Simone.
"I don't know…" Simone started to say.
"I'll do anything and I mean anything. I mean come on you're dating my brother, you're going to have to get used to seeing me a lot and eventually you're going to have to forgive me."
"I knew starting to date John was going to get my into trouble sooner or later." Simone said.
"Hey!" John said defensively.
"What I meant is that I always knew you'd come back and since you're brother and sister."
"You'd have to deal with me?"
"Right."
"Well I want you to deal with me. Scream at me if you want but don't completely give up on us being friends again. Please?" Kay begged.
"I can scream at you?" Simone asked smiling.
"If you want to but don't look so happy about it." Kay said smiling.
"So life at the Russell house is going to be pretty tough now thanks to me." Theresa said.
"Yeah, I'm not sure I ever want to go home now." Whitney said and then she looked at Liz. "And I don't have to if my wonderful older sister would let me stay with her."
Liz laughed. "The last time you and Simone stayed with me, you just about drove Antonio insane."
"He was already insane." Miguel said.
Theresa laughed. "Yeah I've got to agree with my brother there, Antonio is known for being a little nuts."
"It runs in the family I see." Noah said.
"Hey!" Miguel and Theresa screamed.
"You defiantly put your foot in your mouth that time, brother." Kay said laughing.
"So you've finally told us about your family." Trey said.
"Not willingly though." Ricky said.
"We didn't have to say anything at all." Resa said.
"Yeah so what's with the complaining?" Kat asked.
"I'm not complaining, I was just going to say that we were wondering." Trey said.
"You were wondering." Ricky said.
"Wondering what?" Resa asked.
"If there are any I don't know best friends back home, you know other than the two of you." Trey said.
"Oh we weren't best friends back home." Resa said.
"Actually we hated each other." Kat said.
"We were mortal enemies." Resa said smiling.
"I find that a little hard to believe, I mean you both are so close now." Ricky said.
"Yeah but we weren't in Harmony." Kat said.
"So then who were you two close with?" Trey asked.
"Well I had a best friend named Whitney Russell and I used to be best friends with Kay's older brother Noah." Resa said.
"And I had two best friends, her little brother Miguel…" Kat started to say.
"The Miguel?" Ricky asked.
"Yes the Miguel. And Simone Russell, Whitney's little sister." Kat said.
"Was the whole Lopiz-Fitgerald, Russell and Bennett thing on purpose?" Ricky asked.
"No but our town really isn't that big so the whole repetition in friends was kind of well…" Kat started to say.
"Inevitable." Resa said finishing her sentence.
"Exactly." Kat said.
"So are they still your best friends?" Trey asked.
