Walling back into the house, Tracy heads towards the kitten because she heard light jazz music playing. Tracy's eyes glance towards the dinner table, seeing four plates there, Tracy gets confused. "Mom? Why are there four places tonight?" She asked, quite confused by the whole situation. "Mom?" Tracy asked again, more confused until realisation hit her. "Honey, he's just got back. He's only c,ing for dinner." Mel explained, mixing the food that was in the frying pan.

"Yeah. Tomorrow he's just gonna tune up your car, right?" Track questioned, not like Brady at all. "It needs it." Mel stated, smiling like an idiot because she really did like Brady. "Why are you doing this ti your self?" Tracy continued, a disgusted expression on her face. Hampton, their dog, just barks as the doorbell rung which signified Brady was there. Moving towards the front door, Mel stopped to fix her hair in a mirror.

Opening the door, Brady was there with a vacuum cleaner on his shoulders. "Do you mind if I out this stuff in your garage?" Brady asked, Mel just giggled and slowly walked towards him and leaned up to give him a kiss. It had been a couple of minutes, every one was in the kitchen whole Mel placed down a plate with delicious food on it. Sitting down, Mel picked up the Champagne as Brady did the same. "So, Brady... how was the halfway house?" Tracy questioned, getting annoyed at the silence that sat in the room.

Brady just stiffed in his chair, before replying to Tracy. "The same as the last one, Trace." He responded, silence taking over the room again since it was very awkward. Everyone continued to eat, Mason liking the food while Tracy was annoyed by Brady's presence the whole time.

Jada, Evie and Tracy all walked together down the walkway since school had just finished. "Bye! Tell Javi, I will be home later today or tomorrow!" Jada yelled out to Astrid, Evie dragging Jada's arm so that she walked beside her. Tracy stopped for a second, turning her head to see Noel and Yumi. Noel just waved towards Tracy, haven't seen her in a long time. Evie just pulled Tracy away, walking towards a car which Mel was standing in front of. "Evie, Jada, this is my mom." Tracy exclaimed, stopping in front of her mom and the car.

"No way, she's like the hot, big sister." Evie compliments, trying to get Mel to warm up to her. "This is your mom? You don't look a day over 20, Ms Freeland." Jada told her, smiling towards the older woman because she seemed nice. "What do you want me to do?" Mel asked, a smile on her face due to the younger girls compliments. "Can you take us to Melrose?" Tracy asked, an anxious tone in her voice while she spoke. "Let's go." Mel stated, unlocking the car as all three girls got in.Tracy was on the left, with Jada in the middle and Evie was on the right. Tracy's face held an expression of surprise because she thought her mom was gonna say no because they didn't live close to Melrose Avenue.

All the windows were down, Tracy slumping in her seat as her mom made suggestions to her. "We'll find some really cute platforms or maybe some of that body glitter." Mel suggested, driving to a stop as they parked in front of Red Bulls. "No, mom. It's okay. You can just drop us off and go run an errand or something." Tracy told her, not wanting to get embarrassed in front of her new friends. "Oh, umm, okay. I guess that'll be all right, maybe for an hour." Mel stated, as she was quite confused because she usually went with Tracy or Mason on Melrose.
