Bonnie placed the twins in the back seat of their family car outside the parking lot of the school. Bonnie saw two mothers heading in her direction and she turned her back and rolled her eyes. People just wants to gossip, but that's how it is with small towns.

"We saw Zoe and she is so good Bonnie. Mystique's Lakes own little Mermaid." One mother said who was decorated heavily with jewellery.

And your not one bit envious when your daughter came in second behind Zoe? Bonnie wanted to asked, but instead she said. "Thank you. She takes after her aunt."

"My husband said that Damon is back in town. I thought we might get to see him here today." The other woman said, and Bonnie knew she had one plastic surgery too many.

I bet you want to see my husband. Still dreaming of fucking him? Bonnie wanted to say, but instead she said. "Yup, he is back and I swear my husband is possessed with work." Bonnie said and gave them a fake smile.

The women's laughs were equally fake. They said their goodbyes and walked away.

The school bell ring for end of school and the big doors of the school opened. A security guard opened the school gate with a smile for eager learners wanting to start their weekend.

Bonnie saw Dylan with his group of friends. Talking and laughing when they came through the school doors. She waved at him when he was nearby and he smiled and winked. He said goodbye to his friends and walked to his mother.

Zoe came out talking with her swimming coach who had a proud smile on her face. Her midnight curls were still wet from swimming and whipped cheekily on her head. A few heads turned her way when her melodies laugh filled the air. She waved her coach goodbye and ran to her mother's car.

Bonnie gave her daughter a kiss and a hug and said. "I am so proud of you."

"I heard you kicked ass in the swimming try outs today. Good. You just moved me up in the popularity ranks." Dylan said with a cheeky smile.

"Yeah whatever." Zoe said annoyed and looked away.

"And what about you young man are you taking any school activities?" Bonnie asked with a smile.

"Of course I am. My favorite is annoying the teachers in detention after school." Dylan said and both he and Bonnie laugh.

"Bonnie Bennet? Is that you?" A voice said behind her.

Bonnie turned around and her eyes went wide. "Kai Parker? And is that you?" She said with a smile.

"Yeah that's me. Wow you still look the same, beautiful as ever. Is their a secret herb you use that does not allow you to age." Kai said with a handsome smile.

Bonnie blushed and said. "Thank you for the compliments I know you richly like to dish out."

Kai hold up his hand with a smile and said. "Not just anyone."

Bonnie smiled and said. "So are you picking up your kid or kids?"

"What? No? Thank god no. Motherhood looks good on you it works for you. Me? Nope. I'm just teaching here."

Bonnie laughed and said. "You teaching here? What is the world coming to."

"My point exactly." Kai said and they both laughed.

Bonnie's phone went off and she quickly read the SMS.

McKenzie. Hey mom going 2 hitch a ride with stelle dnt wait

Bonnie closed her phone and said. "Well I should get going. It was nice seeing you again Kai."

"Likewise Bonnie Bennet."

"Its Salvatore."

Kai's jaw almost dropped to the floor. "You married Damon?"

"Married with six children. Well take care." Bonnie left a stunned looking Kai behind in the school parking lot.

Kenzie were sitting passenger side in Estelle's jeep as they speed up the hill to Estelle's parents mansion with the music blaring loud. Estelle's father is a famous plastic surgeon and her mother is his favourite client. An old model who wants to keep her looks forever.

"OOOoooh hoooooh! Its Friday! Time to paaaaarty!" Stacy screamed from the backseat.

Estelle stopped the jeep at the top of the hill and the girls got out.

"What a fucking view." Stacy said as the three friends looked down at the panoramic view of Mystique Lake.

Estelle handed them both a beer from the six pack and said. "To another week done and dusted. Clinks"

The girls took long drinks from their beer. "You coming with us to the woods tonight Kenz? The football team is having a party there and were invited." Stacy said excited.

"Come on Kenz we not going without you." Estelle whinned.

Kenz threw her empty bottle away and said. "Fine, but your mother needs to tell my mom I'm sleeping over." Both girls hugged Kenzie. "Of course my mom will do that. She is so in on all the stuff we do." Estelle said with a laugh.

A heavy pregnant Caroline was so happy to see Bonnie and the twins, and Zoe.

"Sophi told me you broke records today. I can already see you standing on the podium with a gold medal around your neck and the anthem being played. What a victorious day that will be. Mermaid girl from small town Mystique Lake to become the fastest swimmer in the world." Caroline said with a big smile and hugged Zoe. "Sophi is in her room she will be so glad to see you."

Zoe smiled at her aunt and rushed up the stairs to Sophi's room.

"He was a no show again, but my baby did her best." Bonnie said with a sad smile.

Caroline took Bonnie's hand and said. "I was serious when I said that you and the kids need to get away.
