Baby and Johnny were about to head to Neil and Lisa's house. First Baby had to tell Johnny about Max. She had been thinking about everything else it had slipped her mind to tell him. Baby looked at Johnny with a upset look in her eyes. She had a very saddening expression on her face. Johnny asked, what is wrong Baby? Baby said, I need to let you know something before we go to Lisa's. Johnny could tell whatever she was about to say was not something good. Baby spoke with a melancholy tone in her voice. Johnny, Max died ten months ago. He had a massive heart attack. The doctors tried everything in their power to save him. His heart was just not strong enough to make it through the surgery. I talked to Lisa and Neil needs your help with Kellermans. Times are changing and Neil wants to make Kellermans more appealing. Lisa told me about it a few days ago. I just have had so much on my mind. I forgot to tell you. So I am telling you now. Johnny I am so sorry to drop this on you like this. I just have had a lot going on. Seeing you again, the wedding and everything else I have been thinking about. Baby looked at Johnny with a look of remorse for not telling him. Johnny told her it was ok. He knew she did not mean to keep these things from him. Johnny just wondered what had Baby's mind so flustered. That she would forget to tell him something so important. Whatever was bothering her had to be very serious. Johnny would have to worry about it later. He needed to see what Neil needed his help with. Why of all people would he come to Johnny? Johnny had no clue.

It was no secret that Neil and Johnny had issues in the past. Neil had tried to date Baby that summer in 1963. Baby did not like Neil in a romantic way. Baby thought Neil was a conceited rich boy. Who only liked to brag about his hotels. Neil had changed since that summer. Lisa and Neil were very happy together. They had two children now. Well Skye their daughter was really Robbie's biological child. Neil loved her as if she was really his though. Skye called Neil Daddy. That was the only father she had ever known. Skye was now four years old. She had long black hair, but with Robbie's nose and eyes. Other than that Skye looked like Lisa. Skye was born in 1964. About three months after she was born Lisa was pregnant again. In 1965 Roman Max Kellerman was born. Roman had just turned three. Roman was the spitting image of Neil. Neil had given Lisa a very good life. Most men would have not done what Neil did. It had really surprised Johnny and Baby all he had done for Lisa. Neil and Lisa had been married for four years now. Neil married her right after she found out she was pregnant with Skye. Neil had made an honest woman of Lisa. Neil loved her with all of his heart.

Once Baby and Johnny arrived at Lisa and Neil's it was time to get down to business. Neil and Johnny went into Neil's office. Baby sat in the kitchen with Lisa. Lisa sent the children off to the playroom. Their nanny Anna was in there. Lisa had it all the perfect life. Well that is what Baby thought. Lisa told her no one's life is perfect. There is no such thing as perfection in life. Lisa told her, that she had the closest to it though. Lisa said that Baby would have have it all one day. Baby should be proud of what she had done in life. Lisa told her that she would have loved to be a great dancer like Baby. Baby should not look down herself or think her life was less than perfect. It was just different than Lisa's. That made Baby feel a lot better.

Neil and Johnny sat down in the office. Neil told Johnny he going to explain everything to him. Johnny was curious what he wanted from him. Neil began to explain why he asked Johnny to come. Johnny gave Neil his condolences. He told Neil, he had wished he had knew earlier about Max's death. Neil told Johnny he did not know how to get a hold of him. Since after how the summer 1964 ended. Neil said they didn't need to bring up those bad memories. Neil told him, he already knew about what Penny had pulled with her lies. Neil went on to explain about how Kellermans was not doing much business lately. How people were really not into the ballroom dancing, silly games, wig shows or anything else they were doing there. He needed Johnny to help him come up with a way to get business booming again. That Kellermans had been Max's heart and soul. Neil could not just close it down. It was all he had left of his grandfather now. Johnny understood that. So Johnny told Neil, he would help him anyway he could. They just needed some good ideas. Johnny sat there a few minutes thinking, till he came up with some ideas. Johnny told him they could start a dance club, pool hall, drive in Movie Theater and have live bands. They could make Kellermans an all year round resort. Neil liked the ideas. He would need a business partner to help with it. Neil asked Johnny, if he would be interested in being his partner. Johnny told him, he would have to talk with Baby and get back to him. Neil told him they would meet up tomorrow and to talk to Baby about it tonight. Johnny agreed he would tell Baby tonight. He told Neil he would be at his office after breakfast. Neil was so happy that Johnny would help him. Both Johnny and Neil were different now. They seemed to get along without any problems. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Baby and Lisa sat in the kitchen talking about everything that had happened since Baby had visited last. They were waiting on their parents to arrive. They should be there soon. Baby told Lisa about Alisa and how her parents had done her. That after the summer she would be living with their parents. Lisa agreed that would be for the best. Lisa asked how Jamie's wedding had gone. Baby told her, how beautiful it had been. Baby also told Lisa, about Abbey coming up there too. So that Jamie and Mark could take their honeymoon. Once they had caught up on everything Lisa asked Baby what was going on. That she could tell something was wrong. Baby told her, about her and Jamie's conversation. Baby said, everything that was on her mind. Baby told her Johnny did not know about this stuff yet but, she was going to talk to him about it. Lisa agreed that she needed to. Lisa said, Baby needed to get everything out in the open so that she could plan her future, even if Johnny was not a part of it. Lisa told her honestly what she thought. She explained that even though Baby was only twenty three. Baby needed to start to think about her future seriously. Lisa did not blow smoke up Baby's ass like she thought Lisa would. Lisa had really changed since 1963. Baby liked Lisa a lot more now. They were a lot closer now. Like sisters should really be.

Soon their parents, Alisa and Abbey arrived. They were all very tired. After everyone sat down to dinner and ate they talked awhile. Soon it was time for Baby and Johnny to go back to their cabin. Everyone said their goodbyes. They all would meet up tomorrow. Alisa and Abbey went on to their rooms to sleep. Lisa and her parents talked for a while then went on to get some sleep. Neil then explained Johnny and his plans. Lisa thought they were good ideas but , what about Baby? What would she think? What about Julliard would Baby give that up for this? Lisa asked Neil what he thought. He explained Johnny was going to talk to Baby tonight. That he had not decided if he would become Neil's partner yet. Lisa told him ok. Anna had put the children to bed. Lisa and Neil head on to sleep it had been a long day.

Once Johnny and Baby made it back to the cabin Johnny told her about Neil's offer. Baby thought it was a good offer. Johnny asked,well what about New York and His dance studio? Baby said, well you could just move it up here. Johnny liked the idea. Then he asked, well what about Baby's job at Julliard. Baby told Johnny, they could work that out later. There were a lot of other things they needed to discuss first. She was too tired to discuss them tonight. Johnny and Baby were soon asleep in each others arms. Tomorrow would be a new day. The day they would have to plan their future together or a part.
