(Here's Benjamin and Pico's point of view, then after that we move on to Tabi. Cool? Alright, cool. Let's keep this show going shall we?)

------------------------------------------------------------

While in the middle of a stressful conversation, our two boys are swept up from the streets faster than light.

Startled, they glance in all directions.

Yet they only find the wind in their hair, cars flashing by, and two faces.

One who's unwelcoming yet beautiful presence was "Marilyn Mother Mairest." An actor, singer and fashion model for decades.

With Pico from another Limo, was the more welcoming presence. Fairest's younger daughter, Miku Mairest.

Miku looked at Pico and mouthed out the words "I'm sorry" and Pico nodded in understandment, knowing well she does care for her brother, but rather not get on her parent's bad side, while Benjamin looked at his mom with a nervous smile.

"Heh... Hi, mom..." He nervously laughed.

Mother Mairest clapped her hands together and lifted them up to her neck and shoulders, while moving head to the right and has a "worried" look on her face.

"There's my sweet little baby boy!" She said before putting her arm over her forehead, closing her eyes and lifted her head up.

"We've been oh so worried about you!" Mother Mairest added.

"I'm okay, I swear-" Benjamin reassured his mom, but got interrupted by her.

"Oh darling, you know how much your sister and your mama worries!" She "cried," while going on her knees and pinched Benjamin on the cheek.

She stood up for a second and softly smiled at him.

Miku and Benjamin are well aware that the way Marilyn acts is how she usually acts on TV and movie theater screens, trying to create an illusion that she is in fact caring for them, but in reality she isn't and nobody is falling for it.

"Now you already have your fun, but I think it's time to go home, don't you?" Marilyn asked and has her hand out for Ben to grab.

Pico rolled his eyes, knowing well about her other career and Miku was hoping he'll say no. Not that she hated him and not wanted him home. She knows if he comes home, the cycle will continue on for him and they'll end up isolating him from the world until they thought he's ready to sing for the world.

"... M-Mom- I-" It took some time for Benjamin to reply, but he finally found the response that's right for him.

"No."

Marilyn just stared at Benjamin and was starting to sweat a bit. She always thought her acting skills always work for her to manipulate people, so Benjamin not falling for it was quite a surprise for her.

"But, honey, I need a yes..." She replied before putting her hand down.

"W-Wait. How about you guys sing?" Miku suggested.

"That's sounded like a wonderful idea, do you think singing will convince you to come home?"

"Um..." Benjamin looked down and placed his hand on his neck.

"Just to keep her distracted for now." Miku whispered to Pico and he replied "Gotcha."

Pico turned on the radio, switched CDs and hits the play button and the first song started to play.

*Now playing High*

Despite not hearing her singing in a while, Benjamin kind of find himself hypnotized by his mom's calming voice as she sang.
