Recap
"He's with Rebecca."
The line went silent

"What so you mean he's with Rebecca?"
"I mean he's with Rebecca. She has had him all this time. But, that's not it. She, uh, she wants to kill him so she can make me suffer," Elizabeth whispered.
"What! We are coming down there right now!"
"No! That's what she wants. You could get hurt, too."
"Too bad. We'll be there in half an hour."
"But-"
"No but's. Goodbye! Oh, and tell April we said hi."
Then they hung up.
Elizabeth set the phone down and ran her hands through her hair, feeling the stress and the worry.
April hugged her from behind.
"They are coming, aren't they?" She whispered.
"Yeah," Elizabeth breathed.
They were both silent.
"So that's it, you aren't going to tell me that everything will be alright?" Elizabeth demanded.
"I can't lie to you."
Elizabeth gently took her hand.
"Come on," April whispered, "we should go downstairs."
"Okay."
April led her friend to the living room.
"Hey guys. Is something wrong?" Idina asked.
"Elizabeth's sister and mother are going to be here in half an hour," April told them.
"Oh. That's...sudden," Kristin said.
"Yeah, that's my family for you," Elizabeth murmered.
"Why is it a bad thing that they are coming?" Walker wondered from the couch.
"Because, Walker," Elizabeth began, kneeling in front of him. "Although love can be amazing, it can also be a weapon that is used against you."
"You love your family! Gross!" Walker said, his brain not understanding that kind of love.
Elizabeth laughed lightly. "There are many different kinds of love, Walker. There is love between couples as you know, but there is also love between parent and child, siblings, and friends. Each love is different in its own way."
"So, do you love April?" Walker squeaked.
"Yes, in a friend kind of way," Elizabeth responded.
"Like mommy and Kristin?"
"Yes," Idina answered.
"And your mother loves you in the parent-child kind of way," Elizabeth explained.
"Love is weird," Walker said.
"Yes, yes it is."
"Should we get cleaned up? We don't want to make a bad impression on your mother and sister," Idina pointed out.
"You can if you want, but they won't mind if you are in sweats and a t-shirt. And they wouldn't expect anything less from Walker, he's just a kid," Elizabeth assured.
"Okay."
Idina and Kristin got up.
"Where are you going?" April asked.
"To freshen up," Idina answered.
April smiled a big smile and turned to Elizabeth.
"Can I? Can i? Can i? Please!"
"Go ahead. Unleash the Glanda," Elizabeth sighed.
April shot up and went over to Kristin.
"So, i'm thinking something casual but comfy," She said.
"Uh, yeah, i guess."
With a wave of her hands, April turned Kristin's sweats to a loose pair of jeans and her dirty short-sleeved t-shirt to a comfy pink sweater.
"Oh my goodness! This is awesome!"
"I know right!"
"What about make up?" Kristin wondered.
"Honey, look at you, you don't need make up."
April moved on to Idina.
"What about you?"
"You know, i don't need a total makeover. I'll just go..." Idina stumbled.
"Don't worry! I won't cover you in pink sparkles!"
"Fine. Something comfortable and warm," Idina offered.
Idina's clothes changed to a navy blue sweatshirt and gray sweat pants.
"Not bad," Idina mumbled.
April changed her clothes, too. She wore white pants and a bright pink long-sleeve, sparkly shirt.
"Perfect!" She exclaimed.
"I'm blinded!" Elizabeth yelled. "The pink...it's too bright..."
April rolled her eyes.
"Now that we're all done," Elizabeth began.
"Don't think you are getting off that easily," April interrupted.
"April, please," Elizabeth started.
Her pants turned into black jeans and her shirt was green.
"NOW we're all ready," April stated cheerily.
Just in time, there was a knock on the door.
"I should answer it," Elizabeth mumbled, making her way to the door.
"ELIZABETH!!!!!!" Julia's excited voice squealed through the doorway.
"Julia! Mom!" Elizabeth greeted.
Julia's body flung forward and gave her sister a gigantic hug.
Then, she pushed her sister out of the way to hug April.
Then came a loud squeal.
"OH MY OZ YOU ARE IDINA MENZEL AND YOU ARE KRISTIN CHENOWETH AND YOU ARE WALKER DIGGS! DGIVXGKKBCULVOBOV!!!!!!!"
Idina and Kristin laughed.
"You must be Julia," Idina said with a smile.
"She knows my name," Julia whispered in awe.
Just then, the girls' mom walked in the door.
"Mom!" Elizabeth mumbled.
"Elizabeth!" Mary sighed.
"Mom, you know April, meet Idina, Kristin, and Walker," Elizabeth introduced.
"Hello Mrs-" Idina began.
"Please, call me Mary," Mary told.
"Mommy, who are they?" Walker whispered.
"My name is Julia, i'm Elizabeth's younger sister," Julia told, kneeling down to his height.
"Are you going to be as weird as her?" Walker asked in a tiny voice.
"I see you have met my sister. And i probably will," Julia said.
"Good, i like you guys," Walker squeaked. "But who is that?"
"That's our mother. Don't worry, she crazy, too," Julia assured.
"Hey!" Mary exclaimed.
"Okay, hi, it's me, can we all get out of the doorway?" Elizabeth interrupted. "There are too many people."
"How are-" Julia began.
"You so awesome? It comes naturally," Elizabeth finished.
"I wasn't going to-"
"Admit that I'm awesome even though it's true?"
"Why do i even-"
"Think you are awesome?"
"How am i-"
"Still related to me?"
"Stop-"
"Being awesome. I can't."
"Stoptalkingrightnow," Julia quickly said.
"Okay," Elizabeth agreed.
"So," April began. "This is fun."
"Idina, Kristin, Walker, let's get to know you," Mary suggested.
"You pretty much know about us. We've been on Broadway. Idina played Elsa and Elphaba, I played Glinda..." Kristin told.
"We know that, but what about the more personal stuff," Mary said.
"You don't have to..." Elizabeth began.
"No, it's alright. I was adopted and I have a brother named Mark," Kristin informed.
"I grew up near New York and I have a sister named Cara," Idina said.
"I live with mommy and i am an only child which means i'm the best," Walker told.
"If we're all doing this, i have a sister named Julia and i have magical powers," Elizabeth stated.
"Ooohhh! My turn!" April exclaimed. "I went to the same school that i teach at and i am an only child like Walker."
Walker and April high fived.
"Hi....i have sister who goes by either Elizabeth or Elsaba and i live a block away from my mother..." Julia stammered.
"Hi! My name is Mary! I have two daughters named Elizabeth and Julia and i just found out that my husband is actually alive. Talk," Mary commanded.
"Gosh, this was your idea," Elizabeth muttered.
They group then explained everything they had been through right from the beginning.
"So, she wants to kill him?" Mary whispered, her voice catching in her throat.
"Yes," April commented.
"Mom, why me? What does she want with me? I don't even know her?" Elizabeth wondered.
"Maybe she doesn't want to hurt you, but your powers," Idina suggested.
"Probably. I wonder where she heard about me," Elizabeth murmered. "I never told anyone apart from family members and, of course, April."
"Dad wouldn't have told anyone, would he?"
"We will think of that when we come to it," Mary sighed.
"For now, let's get caught up!" Julia offered.
So they did.
