Sky and Andrea arrived at Eric and Taylor's house, then knocked on the door, and opened seeing it was Megan.
"Sky. Andrea. Hey." Megan said. "What brings you two here?"
"Hey Megan. We just wanted to stop by and I also owe an explanation about yesterday." Sky said.
"Well both my parents are at work, it's only me and Tyler here, and you know your both always welcome." Megan said, and both went inside. "I'll get Tyler, and see if he's a bit calm."
"What do you mean?" Sky asked.
"I'll let him tell you." Megan responded and went upstairs, then knocked on Tyler's door. "Tyler! It's me! Sky and Andrea are here!" Tyler then opened the door and followed his sister downstairs.
"Hey. Sky. Andrea." Tyler said. "How have you two been?"
"Hey. I've been alright." Sky responded.
"I've been okay." Andrea said.
"Listen, I kind of owe you two an explanation about yesterday." Sky said.
"You don't need to explain, we understand that your still affected about your mom and still hasn't been easy for you. You were just letting out on how you feel." Megan said.
"I guess so, and I'm sorry I acted like that." Sky said.
"You don't need to apologize, we have already forgiven you." Tyler said.
"Thanks. Glad you two understand." Sky said.
"Andrea. You want to come to my room? I got something to show you." Megan said.
"Sure. Can I, Sky?" Andrea asked.
"You don't need to ask me, go ahead." Sky answered.
"Thanks." Andrea responded and followed Megan upstairs.
"So, everything okay with you Tyler?" Sky asked.
"Not really." Tyler answered.
"Why? What happened?" Sky asked.
"I argued with my dad." Tyler answered.
"Why is that?" Sky asked.
"It started when we were having breakfast then he thought I was keeping something a surprise, I didn't know what he was talking about, then he showed me my acceptance letter to UC." Tyler explained.
"That's great. Congrats. He must have been happy about it." Sky said.
"He was, until I told him I didn't want to go." Tyler said.
"How come?" Sky asked.
"Because it's not what I want, it's what they both want for me. So, I told him I wanted to join the Silver Guardians, it's what I want to do, though it wasn't the reaction I expected from him." Tyler explained.
"He didn't like the idea of you wanting to be one, right?" Sky said.
"No. He thinks I can't do it, he doesn't believe in me, I don't get why he doesn't want me to join, he even said that there are things he can't tell me, I don't know what he meant by that, I tried to convince him to give me a chance, then he just raised his voice at me saying that I have to go to UC, so I was upset by that and I told him I hated him and stormed off to my room really mad at him." Tyler explained.
"Now I know why Megan said when she needed to see if you were calm." Sky said.
"I had a talk with my mom earlier, at least she believes in me." Tyler said.
"I remember when we were kids you drew your dad and said you wanted to grow up and be like him." Sky said.
"Yeah. I remember, I looked up to him and admired on what he does, but now he just ruined it for me." Tyler said.
"Your dad probably has a reason not to tell you, same with my step-dad about my power." Sky said.
"Mind if I ask; why you don't get along with him anymore? You two were very close ever since he married your mom. What happened?" Tyler asked.
"I don't know, I grew up I no longer needed him anymore." Sky answered. "Yesterday after you guys left, he wanted to talk to me on what I said, he just doesn't get it. Then this morning, he wanted to talk to me again though I felt like already talked to him enough and told him I'll be leaving soon to New Tech City."
"How did he react when you told him?" Tyler asked.
"He was surprised, though he thinks I'm making my decisions right away, he doesn't have to worry about me anymore, he will only have Andrea, after all he is not my dad." Sky said.
"To think back when we were kids, you really wanted him to be your dad and wanted your mom to be happy." Tyler said.
"I know, though I wish my mom was still around, she's the only one who understands me." Sky said.
"Life goes on, is what I can tell you." Tyler said, when they heard the door open seeing it was Eric and Taylor arriving home from work.
"Hey Sky. Surprise seeing you here." Taylor said.
"Sky. How are you?" Eric said.
"Hey. I'm okay." Sky responded, then Megan and Andrea came downstairs.
"Mom. Dad. Home so soon." Megan said.
"This is our usual time we come home." Eric said.
"Hi Eric. Hi Taylor." Andrea said.
"Hi Andrea. How are you?" Taylor said.
"I'm good." Andrea responded.
"We just wanted to stop by and just hang a bit, also about yesterday-" Sky was about to explain, but was interrupted.
"You don't need to explain, we understand." Eric said.
"Thanks. It's still hard for me." Sky said.
"Everything will be okay for all of you." Taylor said.
"Well, I think Andrea and I should start heading home." Sky said. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah. I am." Andrea responded. "It was nice seeing you all again."
"Same with both of you. If anything let us know." Taylor said.
"Take care. Bye." Eric said.
"Bye and thanks." Sky said, as he and Andrea left.
"Megan. Mind if you help me prepare dinner?" Taylor asked.
"Sure mom. No problem." Megan answered, and both went to the kitchen, leaving Eric and Tyler alone in the living room.
"Mind if we talk?" Eric asked.
"I guess...why not." Tyler answered and both sat on the couch.
"About earlier, I'm really sorry I didn't mean to raise my voice at you, I was upset when you told me you didn't want to go to UC, I just wanted you to start off on your studies and have a good career in life. I hope you understand." Eric explained.
"I accept your apology, dad. Maybe mom was right, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try and I'll do my best at it. I'm sorry I said I hated you and slammed the door on you, I was just really mad." Tyler said.
"Apology accepted." Eric said, as both father and son hugged, while Taylor and Megan were seeing them reconcile.
"I told you they would." Megan said.
"How are you always right?" Taylor said.
"We can both hear you." Tyler shouted.
"And can see you two eavesdropping on us." Eric said.
"We didn't mean to." Megan said.
"Sure. We believe you." Tyler said, as they laughed.
"I'm glad you two worked it out. Now come on dinner is ready." Taylor said, and went to the kitchen.
Sky and Andrea had made it home and went inside the house seeing Chase running towards them happy to see them.
"Hey Chase. Did you miss us?" Andrea said.
"He sure did." Sky said, and both petted him then they saw Alex in the living room.
"Hi dad. We didn't see you there." Andrea said.
"Where have you two been?" Alex asked.
"We went to Eric and Taylor's house, just to hang with Tyler and Megan, that's all." Sky answered.
"Next time just let me know ahead before I leave off for work." Alex said.
"Does it matter, I mean we can't stay inside bored in the house doing nothing." Sky said.
"Andrea. Go in the kitchen for a minute, I need to talk to your brother." Alex said.
"Sure." Andrea said, and went to the kitchen with Chase following.
"I thought we already talked enough, I'm not in the mood to hear on what you have to tell me." Sky said.
"It's important, just listen to me." Alex said.
"No. I have already heard enough from you, I don't want talk anymore, you already done your part on being my step-dad, I don't need you anymore I can take care of myself now. You are nothing to me." Sky said.
"Sky-" Alex was interrupted.
"Just leave me alone." Sky said, and went upstairs to his room.
"Dad. Everything okay?" Andrea asked.
"Not really." Alex responded.
"You know he didn't mean it." Andrea said.
"He does. I know it hasn't been easy for any of us, but he's right he doesn't need me anymore." Alex said.
"But I do." Andrea said, and hugged her father.
"Andrea. I just want to let you know one thing." Alex said.
"What do you mean?" Andrea asked.
"No matter what happens, your brother will be around for you even if I'm not there for you two." Alex responded.
"I don't know what you mean by that, but okay." Andrea said.
"Come on, let's get started on dinner." Alex said, and both went to the kitchen, after they were done Andrea went upstairs along with Chase and a plate of food and a cup of water then knocked on Sky's door.
"Sky! It's me! Can I come in?" Andrea shouted, then the door opened. "I brought you something to eat."
"Thanks, but I'm not hungry." Sky said.
"I couldn't help but overhear my dad trying to talk to you, but he's trying his best to be close to you again, but you keep pushing him away." Andrea said.
"Whatever it is he wants to talk to me about, I just don't want to hear it, he's already done enough for me, he only has you." Sky said.
"That doesn't mean he doesn't care about you, he does care, even if your not his son." Andrea said.
"I know where your going with this, but nothing is going to convince me to be close to your dad again." Sky said.
"Can't say I tried, but your my brother and I care about you." Andrea said.
"So do I." Sky responded and they both hugged, and was about to leave taking the plate and cup with her. "You know leave it, I'll actually eat it."
"Sure. No problem." Andrea said. "Night."
"Night." Sky responded, as Andrea left his room, and Sky started to eat his food and started remembered the times he wasn't hungry when he was sad even though he tried not to because his mom didn't like how he used the excuse.
"Mom. You always hated the excuse that I'm not hungry for something that's bothering me." Sky thought to himself, and was done eating bringing his plate down and washing it, then brushing his teeth and getting ready for bed with Chase sleeping by his side.
