Isabella drives her car, Steven putting in a cassette. Her eyes widen as he starts singing along to the song she, Sadie, and the Cool Kids performed in front of her dad. She frowns for a moment before smiling at the memory as she parks the car.
...
Isabella and Steven walk into Spacetries, "Hey, Blue Lace." Blue Lace smashes dough that was being made, making the siblings cough and laugh, "Hey, Lars!"
"Hey, babe! Hey, Steven! Here to pick up the cake?"
"Yeah, but we also wanna see how you're doing." Steven says.
Isabella smiles in amusement, "And Steven doesn't want me "slacking off"."
The door rang as Sadie walked in, "Hey, Isabella! Hey, Steven! Hi, Lars!"
"Sadie!" Isabella hugs her, "I missed you!"
"Oh my gosh! I can't remember the last time we were all together in a pastry establishment!" Steven exclaims, looking at the three.
"Hey Sadie, I've got your moon cakes." Lars hands her a box.
"Thanks."
"Sure."
"Sadie, how's stuff going with Shep?" Isabella asks.
"Huh? Shep?" Steven looks at the trio in confusion.
"Great. They're so cool." Sadie blushes, "I can't believe we've been dating for almost two months, now. Everything just feels so easy."
"That's awesome." Lars told her, "Say "Hi" to them for me."
"Same for me!" Isabella adds.
"Will do. Well, see you later." Sadie leaves.
"Yeah."
"What was that, and who is Shep?" Steven asks.
"Shep is Sadie's new partner. They met while she was on tour with the Suspects. It's cool." Lars explains.
"Is it?" Steven asks.
"Yeah. Sadie and Shep are a good couple." Isabella told him.
"Besides, I'm leaving anyway. Now that the Off Colors are done with school, we're gonna head back into space." Lars adds as Isabella frowns a little.
Steven gasps, looking at his sister, who nods sadly, "But what about the shop?"
"I asked Blue Lace to take over. I'm ready to move on." Lars told him.
"Steven, things change. Nothing stays the same forever." Isabella adds.
"But what about-" Steven gets cut off as Blue Lace sets a box on the counter.
"Oh. Looks like the graduation cake is ready. I'll see you two tonight." Lars kisses his girlfriend.
...
"Steven, can you hold the cake in your lap?" Isabella asks as she gets in the driver's seat.
"Sis, why didn't you tell me Sadie was dating someone?" Steven got in the car, putting his seatbelt on.
"That didn't come up."
"What about Lars leaving? You can't tell me that you're happy!"
"I am! Lars and Sadie are off living their lives, Steven. Who am I to control them?" she puts her seatbelt on.
...
Isabella stands on stage, Steven off to the side with a separate mic as he gives his sister a thumbs up.
"We're all proud to see our graduates evolve and be there for each other as everyone moves on to bigger and better things and new and exciting places. Well, except for me. I'll still be, right here." she frowns for a moment before clearing her throat, "Steven, if you will."
