Me and Ella make some hot cocoa and just sit and talk for awhile. Its nice to have someone who is related to my mom and actually knew her too, to talk to.

"Yeah, it's just so hard to believe." Ella says. "After all these years."

I just nod in agreement while staring off into space, I hope she doesn't notice I'm not paying much attention.

"Yeah, Ella I think I'm gonna go, see if they are done fighting." I feel kind of bad leaving Ella in this state of shock but I need to talk to my mom.

It's my turn to fight with her for hours on end.

When I land at my.. her... the house I walk in to find that they are gone.

"Dad!?" I shout loud. "Mom!?" I shout again but this time with less enthusiasm. It feels weird to say mom. I haven't said it since I was six.

I hear footsteps approach from the door.

"They went to Gazzy's place." I recognize that voice. Oh. It's actually Nudge this time.

"Thanks Nudge." I am out of there so fast I don't even bother to question why Nudge was there or why she knows where they are.

Once I get to Gazzy's place I enter without knocking because I don't want to be without a mom for any longer than I have to. Knocking just takes up too much time. And then there's all that fighting, no time to waste.

I walk in to find that Gazzy isn't at Gazzy's house, as of a few seconds ago it's just me, Falcon, mom and dad.

You know I've never noticed how much bomb equipment Gazzy has hidden around the house. I shudder a little.

When they stop talking long enough to notice that I just walked in it's a little too late to say anything on my part because I'm knocked to the ground.
