Later, Lino was at his adoptive parents house. He plays with the antigravity table, and made items float above the table. His adoptive parents are named Silas and Marnie Cupport. They also have an alien pet; he's a rare specie called the Jonbirq. There was a knock on the door, and Lino answers it. Gringy saw Lino for the first time in 6 years. Ever since they found homes, they haven't been in contact with each other for a while.
"What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in forever, " he said. "I know, I go to a different school now, and I've made tons of friends, " she said. "So, I guess we're both busy a lot. " Marnie and Silas notice that Gringy has returned here. "Gringy? Is that really you? You've grown up! " They went to give her a hug. "Thanks, I miss you guys, too. " She notices the Jonbirq, "I see that you guys have a pet. " "Yes, he was valuable in our hearts. He keeps this family together, " said Marnie. "Uh, Lino, can I talk to you privately? " "Ok, mom, dad, I'll be back."
They went by the door. "I heard that you're going to a field trip tomorrow, " said Gringy. "How, " he said. "One of your friends were talking about it and they said your name. " "Did Willow tell you that?" "Who's Willow? " He looks dumbfounded. "Never mind. " "No, who's Willow? " He took a deep breath to tell her because he knew she liked him, "Willow is my friend that I just met today, but she is just my friend. " Even though, Gringy hasn't been in Lino's life in years, she developed a crush on him. "I have to go. " "Look, if it's about the friend thing, then-" she interrupted him, "I'm fine, Lino. Just be careful on the field trip. " She went to her adoptive parents' spaceship and they flew her home. Lino looks concerned for Gringy, but he was also conflicted. Maybe something would happen.
