"So let me get this straight. You're not with Ashely anymore, but at the same time you are?" Yolei said.

"Yes for like the hundredth time." Davis said. All three of them were in class and talking about Davis' relationship with Ashely. It's only been a few days since she left and Yolei was still trying to make sense of it. "Ashely and I are still technically together. I think it might be one of those open relationships. I've gone over this multiple times."

"I'm sorry. I'm just trying to understand this." Yolei said.

"From what I'm getting, they're still technically together and they're using this opportunity to figure out what they both want." Ken said. "They'll just see what happens until Ashely gets back."

"Yeah. Something like that." Davis said. "I never thought I say this, but can we get back to learning. I'm tired of talking about this over and over again."

"Listen up, class. I have an announcement to make." Their teacher said. "Tomorrow is Family Day at school. This is an opportunity for your parents or really anyone in your family to come over and see how we work at school."

"Family Day?" Davis said. He took that a little hard considering the position he's in with his family. Ken and Yolei saw his reaction and they felt really sorry for him.

"They'll also be a small buffet at the end of day tomorrow with music and such for the parents as our way of saying thank you for coming over and all that they do for the school." The teacher said. The bell rang and class ended with the students on their way out. "Mr. Motomiya, a moment please."

"What did you do now?" Yolei said.

"I don't know." Davis said. Ken and Yolei had to keep going and decided to wait outside for him. "I swear, I didn't do anything."

"Davis, you're not in trouble." The teacher said and that helped him relax. "Listen, we are aware of your current living conditions. We are aware that your parents are away, but your guardians are more than welcome to come."

"Thanks. I'm sure they like to." Davis said.

"Listen, Davis, we know that it must be hard having your real parents away. If you like to talk about it, the rest of your teachers and I are willing to listen." The teacher said.

"I'm fine. Really." Davis said and was able to leave. Ken and Yolei were outside and waited for him.

"Everything okay?" Ken asked.

"Yeah. The teacher was just saying that Miley and Jesse are allowed to come too if they're able to." Davis said. "It was nothing really." Davis acted like things were fine, but Ken and Yolei were still concerned thinking he wasn't showing his true feelings.

"Davis, if you're upset that your actual parents can't be here, it's okay to talk about it." Yolei said.

"Yolei's right. There are people out there that want to help you through this until they come back." Ken said.

"Guys, I'm fine. Really. I know my parents would be here if they could." Davis said. He left things at that, but people were still concerned about him.

The Penthouse

Davis went back home once school was over. He just needed to tell Miley and Jesse about Family Day. When he came back in, he saw Jesse with some sheet music and his guitar.

"Hey, Jesse." Davis said.

"Hey. How was school?" Jesse said.

"Fine. There's actually something I want to tell you about." Davis said.

"Me first." Jesse said. "I got a call from an old buddy of mine. Some old friends of mine are going to get together tomorrow. Is it cool if I use some of your songs to just show off a little?"

"It's happening tomorrow?" Davis said.

"Yeah. That a problem?" Jesse asked. Davis didn't have the heart to tell him about Family Day. Jesse doesn't get to see his old friends much.

"No. Sure. Use some of my songs. You did write them." Davis said.

"Thanks. So what did you want to tell me?" Jesse asked.

"Uh….Ken kicked a football and scored a field goal in P.E. today." Davis said as an excuse.

"Really?" Jesse said. Davis was a little worried Jesse didn't believe him. "Ken actually scored a field goal? I guess that makes sense. He's a smart guy and a bit athletic. He must have used math and such to score." Davis sighed in relief when he saw he was in the clear.

"Where's Miley?" Davis asked.

"In our room. She's looking for something to wear tomorrow. Women." Jesse complained. Davis went over to Miley's and Jesse's room and saw her digging around her closet.

"Hey, Miley." Davis said and got her attention.

"Hey, Davis. Was school bearable today?" Miley said.

"Is school ever bearable? What are you doing? Looking for something?" Davis said.

"Yeah." Miley said. "I got a call saying to come to the studio. They want me to come in tomorrow to talk about your demo. If things go well, this will be good for Jason Burner."

"It's tomorrow?" Davis said as he didn't like this either.

"Yeah." Miley said. "We've come a long way, Davis. You should be proud at far you've come and this will help you go further."

"Cool." Davis said. He can't let that opportunity go and Miley understands this means a lot to him.

"So anything happened at school?" Miley said.

"Uh…Yolei's thinking of starting a beauty club." Davis said as he came up with another lie.

"Really? I thought they banned those since these two mean girls at my school tried that and it all went south from there." Miley said. "On the bright side, they lost a few good beauty supplies." Miley took some great pleasure in that day and Davis got a little scared. Davis went over to his room and just sat on his bed. He couldn't bring himself to tell them about tomorrow at school. He didn't show it, but it actually did bother him that his real parents weren't around.

"Mom… Dad…. I wish you two were here." Davis said.

…

The Next Day

"Davis, breakfast!" Miley called out as she was serving some. She and Jesse were already at the table, but Davis wasn't really in the mood. Davis came in, but all he grabbed was a piece of toast.

"Later." Davis said as he just wanted to get out of there.

"Whoa. Hold on for a minute. What's the hurry?" Miley said.

"Nothing. I just want to get to school." Davis said. That raised some suspicion with Miley and Jesse.

"You actually want to get to school?" Jesse said. "You're never in a hurry to get to school."

"Maybe I'm just finally growing up." Davis said. That little lie was one Miley and Jesse weren't believing.

"What did you do?" Miley said as she thinks he did something wrong. "Not another chemical mishap again. Some people are still recovering from last time."

"I'm not in trouble! Later!" Davis said as he just got out of there as fast as he could. Miley and Jesse did think something weird was going on with him.

"You really buy that? He probably did do something." Jesse said.

"I know, but he can't hide it." Miley said. "It always finds a way to reveal whatever he did." Both of them thought he did something wrong, but in a way, not telling them about Family Day was.

….

The School

"So this is your homeroom, Ken? It all looks lovely."

"Mom, please don't embarrass me." Ken said. "It's great that you're having so much fun, but try and keep it together." Many parents showed up with the students as all of them will get to have a look at how they are in school.

"Hey, Ken." Yolei said as she came in with her mother as well.

"Hey, Yolei. Hello, Mrs. Inoue." Ken said.

"Hi, Ken. It's great to see you again." Mrs. Inoue said. "Mrs. Ichijoji, good to see you as well."

"It's nice to meet you as well." Mrs. Ichijoji said.

"So your father couldn't make it?" Ken asked.

"No. Someone had to stay behind to watch our family's convenient store." Yolei said. "Your father couldn't really make it either?"

"No. He had to work." Ken said.

"Ken, where's your friend? Where's Davis?" Mrs. Ichijoji said. "I would love to meet Miley Stewart. I'm a bit embarrassed to say this, but I was actually quite a fan of hers when I was younger."

"He usually comes in a little later. He should be here soon." Ken said.

"Here he comes." Yolei said. All of them saw Davis come in, but they also noticed he came in alone. "Wait. Where's Miley or Jesse?"

"I'm not sure." Ken said as they were getting a little worried about him.

"Hey, guys." Davis said as he went over to his seat.

"Davis, where's Miley and Jesse?" Ken said.

"They had other things they needed to do." Davis said. "It's fine. I'm not really upset about it." Davis might be saying that, but Ken and Yolei weren't so sure. So school went on normally like always with the parents watching. It actually seemed like Davis was the only one who didn't have a member of his family to arrive. Ken and Yolei felt really bad for him.

"I don't really believe Davis is being honest about not being upset." Yolei said.

"Me either. We need to get him to open up, but how do we do that?" Ken said, but Yolei wasn't so sure herself. The bell went off and everyone was moving to their next class. "Mom, can I ask for your advice about something?"

"What is it, Ken?" Mrs. Ichijoji asked.

"I'm worried about this friend of mine." Ken said. He didn't want to say anything specific about Davis because he wanted to respect some boundaries. "I think he's upset about something. He claims he's not, but I don't he really means it or is hiding how he really feels. How do we get him to open up with how he's really feeling?"

"I think you should just be patient with him, but keep trying." Mrs. Ichijoji said. "Eventually, he will say something. Even if it's only little at a time, your friend won't be able to hide it forever." Ken understood and knew what he and Yolei needed to do.

…

Davis

Davis tried his best to go on with his normal day. It was a little hard seeing as how he was the only one that didn't have someone from his family show up. Davis went over to his locker and went to get some of his books. Yolei and Ken showed up.

"Hey, Davis." Yolei said.

"You want to talk about today?" Ken said.

"What's there to talk about?" Davis said. He kept trying to act like everything was fine, but they still weren't believing him when he said those things.

"Davis, you can talk to us." Yolei said. "Surely you must be upset about your real parents being away."

"Guys, I'm not bothered by anything. I'm perfectly fine." Davis said.

"Davis, it's okay if you are." Ken said. "We're here for you. We want to help you. Just tell us what's bothering and maybe we can help." Davis couldn't take much more of this. They wanted him to say what he's really feeling? That's what they're going to get.

"What I'm feeling right now is annoyed." Davis said. "How can you guys really help me? Can you make my real parents just magically appear? No, you can't. The truth is that I didn't even tell Miley and Jesse about today. They had other plans that seemed important to them. So I didn't bother them with my problems. Look, I get what you guys are trying to do, but there's nothing you can do. Your parents are here. So you don't know what it's like. I didn't want to say anything because there isn't really anyone who can help me." Davis got fed up with all this and just left. Ken and Yolei felt really bad about him, but he had a point. They don't really have a way to help him.

…..

Miley

Miley went over to the studio and was talking with a music producer. They talked about future songs and how things were going for Jason Burner.

"This is all looking good." The producer said. "I'm thinking of new songs featuring Bruno Mars, Snoop Dog, or maybe Taylor Swift."

"Maybe, but we'll see if we can get a song that works for them." Miley said.

"Miley, let me ask, you still have the boy living under your roof?" The producer asked.

"Davis? Yeah. His parents became good friends of mine and I agreed to watch him until they can come back" Miley said.

"How come he never comes to the studio with Jason?" The producer asked.

"Uh…. Davis isn't really into music." Miley said to find a way to cover for him.

"Okay. So did your husband go to Family Day?" The producer asked, but Miley didn't really understand. "I have a nephew that goes to the same school as him. He told me about Family Day at their school. So your husband was the one that went?" Miley thought about what happened yesterday and this morning and now she sees what was going on with Davis.

"Sweet niblets." Miley said.

"Something wrong?" The producer asked.

"I've got to get going. I have somewhere else I need to be." Miley said as she gathered all her stuff together and got out of there as fast as she could.

…

The School

It was about the end of the day and the buffet was happening like people said. There was food and music with everyone enjoying themselves. Davis was the only one that wasn't. Ken and Yolei went back to him.

"Hi, Davis." Ken said.

"We're sorry if we got on your nerves." Yolei said. "We just got really concerned and were worried about you."

"I know. I'm sorry about before. Sometimes it is a little unfair, but I'll be fine." Davis said. He was glad he got friends that care so much about him. Ken felt bad for him, but that changed when he spotted a couple people.

"You might want to look over there." Ken said. He pointed the way and Davis saw Miley and Jesse shown up. Davis was surprised to see them and went on over.

"Jesse? Miley? What are you doing here?" Davis said.

"We're suppose to be here." Miley said.

"Yeah. Davis, why didn't you just tell us about Family Day?" Jesse said.

"I don't know. You guys had big things going on today. I didn't want to bother you with this." Davis said.

"But Davis, it's Family Day here. That means you should have told us." Miley said. "We get that you might miss your parents, but you will always have us. You're more than just a person sleeping out our house. You're like our son and you do mean a lot to us." Jesse put his arm around her as he felt the same. Davis was really happy as he hugged them and Miley hugged back. His real parents were gone, but he had two of the next best things. "Now, show us the food. You owe it to us since we missed most of the day." Davis gladly showed them the food. His real parents can take their time coming back. Davis is pretty happy where he is.
