"Mason, what's that?" Anna- Rita asked.

"It's… well… um…" Mason stumbled. He didn't know what to tell the children of 30 (combined) award winners. He didn't know what to tell the children, of two of his best friends. His son knew all about Mason's career, and he understood that it was not to be talked about around any of the people from the "old days".

Suddenly, Jude and Tommy walked through the front doors of the Quincy house.

"Hey Ari! Marta! We're home!" Tommy shouted, not realizing that Anna- Rita, Marta, Mason, and Andrew were all in the living room, less than 20 feet away.

"What the hell is this?" Anna- Rita shouted.

"What are you talking about?" Jude asked calmly. She did not realize that her and Tommy's picture from earlier that evening was already published.

This!" Anna- Rita said angrily, grabbing the magazine, and waving it in Jude's face. She then dropped the magazine, and ran up the stairs.

Jude's face went pale; Tommy's soon followed. "Oh no," Tommy said.

Jude, who was still processing what had just happened, picked up the magazine that Anna- Rita had dropped, and read the title. 'Lil Tommy Q. Ready For More Than Just A 'Lil Spotlight Again?' Fifteen years ago, Jude would have laughed at the headlines, but this time she didn't.

"Great," Jude said dumfounded.

"I know…" Tommy agreed, just as dumbfounded as Jude.

"Can I suggest something?" Mason said, speaking for the first time in that conversation.

"Mason, we kind of need to handle this ourselves…" Tommy told Mason.

"No, Tom, really. Listen to me. Give her some time. She just found out that her parents, whose music is always played, are in fact not just her parents, and musicians, but international stars."

"Bu----- Tommy tried to protest.

"Tom, it looks as if Marta and Andrew have gone after her. Marta will probably not take it that well, either. Andrew is very in- synch with the situation. Let the kids talk," Mason advised.

"How can you handle these situations so well?" Jude asked her friend.

" I don't know, things like that just work their way out of my mouth," Mason explained.

"I'm sorry for the rude- welcome Mase," Jude apologized.

"It's alright," Mason said, accepting Jude's apology.

"All apologies," Jude said.

The three friends sat down in the living room, and began to catch upon things.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Mason exclaimed.

"What?" Jude asked excitedly.

"You know I hate guessing Mason!" Jude said.

"I know!" Mason exclaimed.

"Hey, where'd Tommy go? To Ari's room?" Jude asked.

"Calm down Jude. He probably just went to the bathroom or something,"

"What exactly did the magazine say Mason?"

"I don't know, but it sure wasn't a lot. Something tells me that Ari has known about parts of this whole fiasco for a while…" Mason trailed off.

Meanwhile in Anna- Rita's Room…

"Have you asked your parents about the promotional tour yet?" Marta asked her friend.

"No, have you?"

"I mentioned it to my Mom, thought,"

"And… what did she say…"

"That she had nothing against it,"

"Oh my gosh Marta that's amazing!

"I know! Have you talked to your parents yet?" Marta asked.

"No," Anna- Rita told her, just as there was a knock on the door.

"Don't come in!" Anna- Rita shouted.

"It's me, Andre!" Andrew shouted from the other side of the door.

"Fine! Come in!" Anna- Rita said.

Andre came into Anna- Rita's room, and sat down on her bed along with Anna- Rita herself, and Marta.

"You pissed?" Andrew asked.

"A little…" Anna- Rita admitted.

"And you have very right to be…" Andrew assured her.

"You seem rather calm with this situation," Anna- Rita noted.

"Yeah, well, Dad told me about his career as soon as I was old enough to understand,"

"Whoa! Your Dad had a music career AND he told you about it?" Anna- Rita question, only slightly pissed off.

"Yeah," Andrew admitted shamefully.

"Well then, I assume that you know a lot about out parents careers as musicians then…" make yourself useful, why don't cha?" Anna- Rita suggested, as there was another knock on the door.

"What do you want?" Anna- Rita screamed to the other side of the door.

"It's Max!" Max shouted.

"Come in Maxwell!" Anna- Rita shouted to her twin brother.

"Gosh Ari, no need to go through the hold 'Maxwell thing'. What'd the deal?" Max questioned.

"Our parents were famous!" Anna- Rita announced.

"Yeah, and I'm Batman!"

"Maxwell…" Anna- Rita said using her brother's full- name, making sure that he knew that she wasn't joking. "Our father was 'Lil Tommy Q. of Boyz Attack, a nineties boy band. Out mother is THE Jude Harrison, first ever Instant Star. Together they have won over thirty awards!"

Max remained speechless.

"Yeah, that's what I said," Anna- Rita exclaimed.

"What are we going to do now?" Max asked.

"I don't know…" Anna- Rita trailed off. "But, whatever it is, we're not going to let them forget that they lied to us!" Anna- Rita said.

Quincy Living Room 10PM:

Jude, Tommy, and Mason were all talking.

"I don't mean to intrude, but…"

"It's late, and you don't want to check in a hotel at 10PM at night? Jude asked.

"Yeah," Mason replied.

"You can stay in the guest room. The sheets are on the twin beds, there's clean towels in the bathroom," Jude told Mason. The Quincy's always kept the guest room ready; they had lots of long visits from "people from the old days" (of course the Quincy children did not know where they were from)...

Mason, grabbed his backpack, and made his way upstairs to the Quincy's guest bedroom.

Jude lied back, resting her head on Tommy's lap. She felt a pain in her stomach, and rested her hand on it. But, her only thoughts were "what will we tell this child?"
