(Senior Joe drives with Ariana Finley,Aaron Finley and Anastasia in his car)
Senior Joe:(driving)You guys are not the only ones who didn't like Olivia,when she arrived at the neighborhood for the 1st time,Olivia inmediately gave "bad vibes".Sure,she was as smart as your father,but unlike him,her brains were bigger than her heart.
Anastasia:How can she have a big brain?How would her head hold it without exploding?
Ariana Finley:Is just a saying,Anastasia.
Aaron Finley:It means that our step-mother was not the "motherly" type.
Senior Joe:(driving)Exactly,Olivia always viewed people as things,but not as living ones.If she was still around,she will probably have said some "mean things" about your new friend.I remember that time when Olivia called Mr.Brenner's autistic daughter a "mistake".
Ariana:What do you mean by if she was still around?
Aaron:Is she dead?
Senior Joe:(driving)No,of course not.After your 2 run away from the neighborhood,your dad was worried so much.He called out your names a million times I can remember.We gathered around the whole neighborhood in a search as we fear that bad men might have taken you away...All except one...
Ariana:Not quite a surprise.We were sure she had never been so happy in her life.
Senior Joe:(driving)And so she was...but not for long...
Ariana and Aaron:What???
Senior Joe:(driving)You leaving really left your father heartbroken.That was the last straw that broke the camel's back.Your father divorced Olivia a year afterwards.
Aaron:He broke up with her,but we through he loved her.
Senior Joe:(driving)Of course he did,but not as much as he loved you.
Ariana:And what happened to Olivia?
Senior Joe:(driving)Last thing I heard from her was that she moved to Virginia.
Senior Joe:(driving)As I was saying,your father never give up on you.When he is not working,your father spends his free time looking forward to find clues about what happened to you and still does until this day.
Senior Joe:(driving)Maybe if I have not suggested him to take a break from his search from you to go to the presentation he would be still around...
Aaron:Is not your fault,Senior Joe.We will make sure to bring back dad,safe and sound.
Ariana:We swear it on the River Styxx
Senior Joe:(driving)Very well,I trust you 2 to do the right thing.
Anastasia:Ahem...
Senior Joe:(driving)I mean,you 3,I trust you 3 to do the right thing.
(Ariana,Aaron,Anastasia and Senior Joe laught)

(Later)
(In Nashville,Tenesse)
(Senior Joe continues driving with Ariana,Aaron and Anastasia on his car)
Aaron:Nashville,Tenesse.It hosts many artistic centers,such as The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Ryman Auditorium, Grand Ole Opry, Gaylor Opryland Resort and Convention Center and of course,the replica of the Athena Parthenos.Nashville's nickname is...
Anastasia:(interrupting)..."Athens of the South",which is the what inspired to create the monument and suggested by Major Eugene Castner Lewis, who was the director of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition at that time of 1897, to serve as the centerpiece of Tennessee's Centennial Celebration.
Ariana and Aaron:😳
Anastasia:What?Was it something I said?
Aaron:How do you know that?
Anastasia:I read it in a book
Aaron:How did you found a book?
Anastasia:Someone left it by accident in the woods
Aaron:You know how to read?
Ariana:Aaron,stop asking her obvious questions,please?
Aaron:Sorry,is just...I am just very surprised...
Ariana:(to Senior Joe)How much more until we get to the Athena Pantheon replica?
Senior Joe:(driving)Almost there,Ariana.
(Senior Joe arrives with Ariana,Aaron and Anastasia in his car to the Athena Partheon replica)
Senior Joe:Here we are,the Athena Parneon...I mean...Parthetos...I mean...the statue of Athena...
(Ariana,Aaron and Anastasia get out of Senior Joe's car)
Ariana:Thank you so much,Joe.
Senior Joe:Anything for you,kids.Save your dad for me.
(Senior Joe leaves in his car)
