It was now two weeks after Dil's 10th birthday and he began to realize, he wasn't like the other Staffenhochtors. Dil was lying on his bed upside-down thinking about how he felt different. DeDe walked in his room.
"Colorado, yjim si gnorw? (Colorado, what is wrong?)" DeDe asked as she walked into Dil's room.
"P tno'd leef ekil P gnoleb ereh Rehtom. (I don't feel like I belong here Mother.)" Dil answered.
DeDe began to love Dil so much within the past 10 years that she couldn't lie to him. She had to make a choice. Would she tell him the truth and possibly make him want to return to Earth, or lie to get him to stay? DeDe was about to lie to him, but then she realized that if she did it would be the first time ever. So she decided to tell the truth because she hates the first time of anything.
"Colorado, sereh't gnihtemos P deen er llet uoy. (Colorado, there's something I need to tell you.)" said DeDe.
"Yjim si as Rehtom? (What is it Mother?)" Dil asked.
"Uoy era ton b Staffenhochtor! (You are not a Staffenhochtor!)" DeDe admitted to Dil while crying a little.
